Dreamscape--
"Got any threes?" Rider asked as we sat at a table.
"Nope." I said as rider growled." I wonder if Crimson and Grimstone do this?"
"Who knows." Rider said with a shrug as the cards vanished."What's next?"
"I don't know." I said as I leaned back." I wonder how long I've been asleep?"
"Couple hours maybe?" Rider said as a board game appeared between us." Or longer, you tend to pretty much hibernate on long trips."
"Meh." I said as the Rider laughed." How is it that we get along so well half the time?"
"Not a...." Rider trailed off as he quickly got up and looked around." You feel that?"
"Depends." I said as the Rider growled." Either you want out, or we're not alone."
"I'll be back." Rider said turning into a flaming pillar disappearing into the shadows.
"Who ever is there you might want to come out." I said as I stood up." For your safety."
"Not very many can detect me so quickly." A woman called as the rider appeared quickly growling and vanished again.
"Who are you?" I asked as a blue alicorn appeared before me."Ah great, another one?"
"My name is Luna, princess of the night." The alicorn said as the rider charged at her." Enough of you creature." She said as she trapped the rider in a bubble." There, now we can talk in peace."
"That will only piss him off more then he already is." I said as the rider beat the bubble."I know I'm dreaming, so are you just another figment of my imagination?"
"I can assure you, I'm not." Luna said with a smile as the rider struggles ceased." You spirits are all the same."
"Be glad I'm in here." Rider muffled voice said." And not out there."
"I know what you did to my sister." Luna said glaring at the rider." Just be glad I decided not to destroy you."
"I don't think you can anyway." I said as Luna looked at me confused." You can already figure out that I'm not from around here."
"You are from the human world." Luna said as I looked at her surprised." Twilight and my sister Celestia have already informed me of your dilemma."
"That makes things less complicated." I said with relief." But listen, the rider attacked your sister for attacking me first because of some darkness in my heart."
"She failed to tell me that." Luna grumbled as the rider sat down in the bubble." I apologize for my sisters actions."
"Not your fault." I said with a shrug." The fact is the rider hasn't killed you yet, means you're a better person the she is."
"You mean pony?" Luna question as I faced palmed." But, I don't understand how that's possible, I tried to overthrow her long ago out of jealousy."
"Did you kill anyone?" I asked as Luna shook her head." Then what happened?"
"I turned into a evil version of myself." Luna said sadly." To this day, it's still haunts me."
"What got you so jealous?" I asked as Luna sighed." If you don't mind me asking?"
"It's something I'd rather not talk about." Luna said as I shrugged." Anyway, I sensed an unknown being in the dreamscape, so I came to investigate." She said as glanced at rider." Not sure what I was expecting."
"Was that an insult?" Rider asked as Luna shock her head." Okay then."
"If I may, what were you two playing?" Luna asked looking at the table." It looked familiar."
"Go fish." Me and rider said in unison." Right now, we're on a train heading towards some town called Ponyville."
"Well that explains it." Luna muttered as I looked at her confused." Just this evening, my sister sent a small regiment of guards to Ponyville, said something about a threat."
"SHE WHAT?!?!" I shouted as Luna looked at me worried as rider growled" she betrayed us?"
"So it seems." Luna said worriedly." You must wake up and warn your friend."
"Oh I will." I said with venom." Tell your sister she just broke the deal, and she will pay for it."
"Please don't kill her, she may have betrayed you, but she is still my sister." Luna said sadly.
"I won't, but I'll leave a scar she'll never forget." I said as Luna vanished.
--Equestria--
"Hey, wake up." Crimson said tapping me on the shoulder as I opened my eyes." We're almost there." He said as he pointed out the window of the train." Small town."
"You said it." I said groggily." So this is Ponyville?"
"Sure is." Pinkie said excitedly." Once we stop it's just a short walk to the castle."
"Castle?" Me and Crimson asked in unison as I looked out." How did we miss that?"
"Once we stop, we'll we take you straight to the castle." Twilight said with a weary tone." So be patient."
"Sure," I said with a shrug." Hey Crimson, can I talk to you a sec, alone?" I said glaring at the ponies.
"Not so fast." Twilight said as she glared at me." You can't be alone."
"And why not?" I asked as Crimson glanced at me." Is it because I know your little secret?"
"Blizzard, what's going on?" Crimson asked as my eyes turned black."Calm down there, and explain."
"Celestia betrayed us." Rider said taking control as he stared at Twilight." And these ones are in on it."
"What?!" Grimstone roared as he took over." I guess they want every single one of them to die."
"How dare you." The alicorn said as the others stood by her." You don't ever threaten a princess."
"Yeah, well.." Rider said as the train stopped." You're not my princess."
"Since you found out first, you get first hit." Grimstone said with an evil smirk." Then we find the portal."
"Couldn't agree more." Rider said as he transformed." Rule number one, never piss of a rider, ruler number two, never break a deal with the rider."
"And rule number 3, never keep a rider from his goal." Grimstone said summoning his sword as he dragged it on the ground sending sparks flying." And congratulations, you just broke all three."
"Meaning?" Twilight asked as the Rider cackled as flaming chains emerged from his back." Oh no..."
"Oh YES!!!!!" Rider roared charging at the princess slamming her through the the wall of the train car only to be followed by screaming.
"You just unleashed hell on your home!" Grimstone said brushing the cowering aside." Your princess should've stuck to the deal." He said as he exited the train." I'm coming for you Celestia."
"STAND DOWN BEAST!!!!" A royal guard shouted as Grimstone slung his sword over his shoulders as he was surrounded ." BY ORDER OF HER HIGHNESS....AAAGH!!!!" The gaurds screamed in agonizing pain as a flaming chain turned the group to dust.
"I could've easily handled that." Grimstone grumbled as the Rider held Twilight down.
"Then try to keep up." Rider cackled as Grimstone raised a brow." You know what I mean."
"I think I do, been awhile since I've done this." Grimstone smirked as he changed form with loud grunts and became much more like a normal persons size and less bulky. Then with an insane burst of speed he lunged towards the advancing guards." DIE!!!"
---Celestia---
"How did they found out?" Celestia asked as the mane 6 shrugged." Thank you for telling me this."
"Is there anything we can do?" Applejack asked as Celestia shook her head sadly." Nothing at all?"
"I was hoping to catch them by surprise, but it didn't work." Celestial sighed." Now, I unleashed two unstoppable beings on Equestria."
"How could you?" Luna asked appearing next to her sister." All they asked is for a way home."
"They could've been lying." Celestia said as her sister scoffed."I had no choice but to..."
"YOU DID HAVE A CHOICE!!!!" Luna yelled enraged." Now, Equestria may suffer because you have chosen the wrong one."
"I understand." Celestial said with remorse as Luna glared." But how do I fix it?"
"You know how!" Luna said as two ponies entered." Captain and commander, glad you arrived safely."
"Kinda hard when you have a rampaging Ghost rider in town." Commander Blizzard said glaring at Celestia."What's the game plan your highness."
"Simple, we bring the two creatures to the mirror portal." Luna said as Celestia tried object, but Luna cut her off." Since you won't do it, I will."
"With all do respect Princess, are you sure that's a good idea?" Captain Crimson asked." You weren't there, but we saw first hand how much power these two have."
"I understand you're afraid Captain." Luna said reassuringly." But this Grimstone and Rider, as well as their hosts, are almost the same as you, Grimstone from what I understand went after the captain who tried to harm your daughter."
"Lucky bastard." Crimson muttered as Blizzard snickered."But are you sure we can trust them?"
"Yes." Luna said confidently as the castle shock."They're here."
--Rider--
"I hate stairs." Grimstone complained as he grew back to normal size and the two looked at the flight of crystal stairs."So who told you about Celestia's betrayal?"
"Her sister Luna." Rider said as the two began the climb." She mentioned Celestia sent those guards while we were on the train."
"This castle is huge." Grimstone said gazing around the structure." Where do you think the portal is?"
"This way." Pony Blizzard said as he stood at the top of the stairs."Princess Luna asked for me to bring you there."
"Didn't we try to kill you sometime ago?" Grimstone asked as he scratched the back of his head followed by a wheeze as they reached the top." I really hate stairs."
"Preach it." Pony Blizzard agreed." Anyway, Luna has agreed to help you get home, but on one condition...."
"We don't kill Celestia." Rider groaned as Pony Blizzard nodded." We've been over this, I'm just gonna give her a tiny scar, that's all."
"Burn mark across the face?" Grimstone asked as Pony Blizzard looked at him horrified.
"More like a slap with my chain." Rider said as the pony lead the two down the hall."I can come up with something worse?"
"Be nice." Grimstone said as the two looked at each other and laughed. "Leave the meanness to me." Grimstone said low enough for only Rider to hear. Rider grunted in response.
"We're here." Pony Blizzard said as they entered a room." Your highness."
"I hope you didn't destroy to much." Luna said with worry as she approached Rider." You're scarier than I remember."
"Well, he's pissed off first off." Crimson said as Grimstone let him out." Then again, he's always angry."
"You know him so well." I said as I turned back." Don't worry about the Twilight character by the way, she's fine."
"I'll pretend I didn't here that." Luna said as Celestia stood by the portal.
"As for you princess." I said as I threw my chain at her, hitting her in the chest." That's for betraying us."
"I understand your anger." Celestia winced as she stood up." But, I was doing it to protect innocents."
"By keeping us from our families?" Crimson asked with a hint of anger as he threw Hell Watcher at the wall next to Celestia causing everyone to jump within seconds he was right in front of her." I have already been deprived of being with my family long enough by Chrysalis and Tirek and I've already dealt with them so consider this a blessing in disguise." Crimson said as Grimstone partially took over." If your little trick had worked not even your sister nor what ever Gods you pray to could keep me from turning you into a red smear on my sword." They spoke in unison." DO WE MAKE OURSELVES CLEAR!!!"
Celestia only gulped in response as her legs began quaking in fear.
"Good" Crimson said as he took back control and dissolved his sword and went back to stand by me.
Luna said nothing but let out a sigh of relief as she held a book with her magic." Once we open the portal, we won't need to see each other again."
"Fine by me." I said as Luna enveloped the book in a magic of some kind, causing it to spark to life." Okay, that's cool." I admitted as magic flowed through the mirror, opening the portal." That it?"
"Indeed." Luna said as Crimson smiled." You may enter." Luna said as Crimson jumped through the portal.
"Next time I see you princess." I said giving Celestia a death glare." All bets are off." I said jumping through.
"Should we be concerned about that?" Pony Blizzard asked as Celestia fainted.
--Green song--
"Hey Flint." Green Song said as her brother typed at his computer." What'cha doin'?"
"History project." Flint said as he continued typing.
"The one from Mister Shadoc?" Green Song asked as Flint nodded." The one that's also due in three weeks?"
"Better to be prepared." Flint said as he looked at Green Song." I'm surprised that you haven't started."
"It was stressful at school today." Green Song said with a sigh." I need a break."
"Wouldn't blame you." Flint Admitted." 3 Quizzes in one day."
"Pop quizzes no less." Green Song groaned." Plus, with Dad gone and Rainbow not returning to school tomorrow, Hoops and his brother are after me again."
"Those idiots from earlier?" Flint asked as Green Song nodded."I can easily change that."
"Oh no you don't." Green Song said as Flint smirked." Last thing we need is for you to get in trouble."
"True, true." Flint said leaning back in his chair." I'm on thin ice with shield as it is."
"Wanna go for a walk or something?" Green Song asked as Spitfire shouted excitedly." Mom's excited."
"KID'S GET DOWN HERE, YOUR DAD'S HOME!!" Spitfire shouted as Green Song quickly left the room.
"W-What?" Flint questioned as he peeked down the hall.
"We missed you so much." Green Song said hugging Crimson tightly.
"I missed you guys too." Crimson said happily as he was covered in tattered clothes." Wait a minute Spitfire, you said kids?"
"Yes, Flints home." Spitfire said wiping a tear away." Grimstone met him, but not you."
"Oh, Hello there." Crimson said as Flint approached them." I'm glad we're meeting under better terms."
"Yep." Flint said simply." So, now wha..oomf." Flint was interrupted with a big hug from Crimson.
"Now we're all together." Crimson said as he let go of Flint with a bigger smile.
"Did Blizzard make it back as well?" Spitfire asked as Crimson nodded." Rainbow will glad to know your both back in one piece."
"She's awake?" Crimson asked as Spitfire nodded." Yeah, Grimstone told me about that whole mess with Ryker." He said with a sigh of relief." By the why, when you see Sunset, tell her that Princess Celestia says hi."
"Wait, Princess Celestia?" Green song asked as Crimson nodded." Where did you guys end up?"
"Did Sunset ever tell you about Equestria?" Crimson asked as his looked at him surprised." It's a long story, but first I feel like I got hit by a train swung by the Hulk. I need a nap"
"You do indeed." Spitfire agreed as she led him into the living room." Also, Tony invited us to a party in a few days, Blizzard and Rainbow included."
"Tha-That's nice." Crimson said drifting off to sleep." Tell him, we'll be there."
"Sure thing." Spitfire said with a laugh as Crimson fell asleep." Glad your back honey." She said kissing him on the cheek.
"I can't believe Dad is finally back." Green Song said excited as Flint smiled." You happy too?"
"Yep." He said as he went back to his room." I'm going to go finish up my project, maybe we can go do something tomorrow?"
"Sounds great." Green Song said as Flint walked back to his room as the snores from Crimson filled the house.
"Better let him know." Flint muttered to himself as he pulled out his phone and sent a text to a number labeled "B.D"
Agent 17===>B.D: My father just came back from some place called Equestria, ring any bells?
B.D===> Agent 17: Not that I know of, but this makes thing trickier, keep our contact secure and make sure he never finds out, until I think he is ready
Agent===> B.D: Understood
After sending the last text, he put his phone and continued working on his project." One day they'll understand." Flint muttered to himself as he typed.
---Avengers tower---
"Well, I just received word that Crimson is back." Tony said as he and Bruce Banner worked in a lab." And he's agreed to come to the party."
"Well that's good to hear." Bruce said as he examined Loki's scepter." And remind me, who's Crimson?"
"That's right you guys haven't official met." Tony said as he rolled across the lab." He's an old school buddy, he teaches at Canterlot Highschool."
"Oh really, I used to go to that school myself." Bruce said a story Tony looked at him surprised." I wonder if Miss Faust is still the teacher there."
"Not anymore." Tony said as he scanned the Scepter." I hope we unlock what ever this thing is hiding."
"You and me both." Bruce said as Tony out the scanner down." Maybe this friend of yours can help us."
"Considering he's as smart as me when it comes to tech, he can." Tony said as the two left the lab." Up for some shawarma?"
"Sure." Bruce said as Tony shut the lights off." I'm surprised they let us go there considering how we nearly destroyed they're restaurant."
"Hey, we helped them repair remember?" Tony said as he closed the door behind them
