The 31st century.
"This. Place. Is. Awesome," Rainbow Dash declared, gazing in amazement at the advanced city around them.
"It's uncredible," agreed Pinkie Pie.
Rainbow Dash gave her a confused look.
"Unbelievable and incredible" Pinkie Pie replied, "come on."
Before, Rainbow Dash could continue a group of figures materialised in front of the two.
The first figure resembled Spiderman, only his costume was coloured red, save for the black spider on his chest.
The second figure was wearing a costume that was coloured both light and dark blues and visor covered his eyes.
The third figure resembled Thor, the only different was that his costume was green and the Hydra symbol.
The fourth figure was almost a mirror image of Red Tornado, only he was coloured silver and black.
The leader of the group stepped forward, he was wearing ancient Egyptian style clothing, the only thing that stood out was his gun holster.
"Going somewhere?" The Spider, the red Spiderman, smiled.
"Did you really think that Kang would turn a blind eye to your little crusade?" Rama-Tut, the leader of the villains, asked.
"You'll have to get through us," Elasti-man, the villain in the blue costume, added, "before you can get to the heroes of this century."
"You two won't leave this century alive," Hammer, the Hydra Thor, announced.
"Proclamation: resistance is futile," Silver Cyclone, the Red Tornado recolour, declared.
"Bring it," Rainbow Dash said, she and Pinkie stood their ground.
"DESTROY THEM!" Rama-Tut commanded.
With that, the four villains charged at the girls.
Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie likewise charged at their attackers.
The girls fought as hard as they could, Rainbow Dash using her speed and her ring, while Pinkie used her powers as best she could.
But, the villains were more than a match for the girls.
"Observation:" Silver Cyclone stated, as he stood over Rainbow Dash, "you are good, I am better, superior."
"Both of you are no match for the might of Hydra," Hammer smirked, as he dropped a defeated Pinkie Pie next to Rainbow Dash.
"Once were done with you," The Spider smiled, "we're going to find the heroes of this timezone and paint this whole place red."
"Yeah," Elasti-man nodded, "what he said."
"Enough, Rama-Tut interrupted, "finish them."
The villains obeyed, they prepared to carry out the order.
"I'm not done with you, yet," Rainbow Dash said, getting to her feet, "I'll fight you till my last breath."
"I'm with you, Dashie," Pinkie nodded, "I won't quit if you won't."
"Noble sentiment," Rama-Tut smiled, "noble, but entirely pointless."
Rama-Tut nodded to the villains, they still had an order to complete.
The villains continued, preparing to attack Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie.
Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie defiantly stood stedfast, waiting for the attack to hit.
Suddenly, a blast of lightning shot out of nowhere, hitting The Spider and knocking him down.
"Surprise," a voice called.
All the villains turned to see Garth Ranzz a.k.a. Lighting Lad standing with a grin on his face.
Before the villains could react they were telekinetic hurled against a wall.
The person responsible for the attack stepped forward, it was Imra Ardeen a.k.a. Saturn Girl.
"Hi there," Saturn girl smiled.
Silver Cyclone tried to attack Saturn Girl, but found himself unable to move, immobilised by some unknown force.
The person responsible for immobilising Silver Cyclone, was Rokk Krinn a.k.a. Cosmic Boy.
"Error," Silver Cyclone said, "motion impeded."
"Sorry to spoil your fun," Cosmic Boy declared, "but it's what the Legion of Superheroes do."
With that, Cosmic boy flung Silver Cyclone through a nearby wall.
Hammer was about to chuck his weapon at Cosmic Boy, but was struck on the back of the head from behind, by a shield, a shield which looked like Captain America's.
"Who dares?!" Hammer demanded, as he turned to face his attacker.
"I dare," the figure, who had attacked Hammer, responded, as his shield boomeranged its way back to him.
The figure was Vance Astro a.k.a. Major Victory
While Major Victory was occupied fighting Hammer, Elasti-man turned his attention to Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie.
"Once we're done with you," he smirked, "your new friends are next."
Elasti-man advanced on the beaten Rainbow and Pinkie.
Rainbow Dash tried using her ring, but Elasti-man simply stretched his body around her attacks.
"Lights out," Elasti-man declared, as he loomed over Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie.
But, before Elasti-man could even touch the two girls, he was struck by a blast of energy from above.
The person who had fired the blast landed in front of Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie.
"I suggest you two come with me," the figure, Stakar Ogord a.k.a. Starhawk, said.
"You'll pay for that!" The Spider snarled, as he swung towards Starhawk.
However, Before The Spider could attack, he was backhanded by a 6 foot tall figure.
"Something tells me, you guys needed backup," the figure smiled.
"You were right," Starhawk replied.
The figure was Charlie-27, a genetically engineered solider from Jupiter.
"Ah, The One Who Knows," Rama-Tut declared, as and the other villains advanced on Starhawk, Charlie-27 and the girls.
"Back off, pal," Charlie-27 said, drawing a giant gatling gun, which was attached to his back, "or your swiss cheese."
"Well, hero," Rama-Tut smirked, drawing his own weapon from the a device on his belt, "which of us shall blink, first?"
Both hero and villains eyes lock, they each draw breath.
But before, ether of them could fire a single shot, "Starhawk," Charlie-27 cried, "now!"
Before the villains could react, Starhawk released a blinding flash of light.
In the confusion, Starhawk grabbed Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie.
Major Victory, Charlie-27, Lighting Lad, Saturn Girl and Cosmic Boy followed their teammates.
"Run, heroes, run!" Rama-Tut laughed, "there is no escape."
Legion HQ.
"Arrr," Rainbow Dash groaned, as she and Pinkie Pie recovered from the beating the villains had given them.
"You two, Ok?" Saturn Girl asked.
"Yeah," Rainbow Dash replied, "thanks for the save, back there."
"We're glad to help," Major Victory smiled.
"My head feels like a pinata," Pinkie Pie mumbled, as she slowly began to come around.
"Take in easy," Cosmic Boy said, "that was some beating you took."
Rainbow Dash slowly got to her feet, Pinkie Pie followed shortly after her.
Just then, Lighting Lad and Starhawk entered the room.
"Can you believe it?" Lighting Lad was saying, "it's actually them!"
He could hardly contain his excitement.
"Contain yourself, Lighting Lad," Starhawk commented.
"In the flesh," Lighting Lad carried on, seemingly ignoring Starhawk, "I can't believe I'm face to face with the Rainbow Dash!"
"OK, hold up," Rainbow Dash interrupted, "how do you know my name?"
"Know your name?!" Lighting Lad replied, "I know everything about you and your friends!"
"What??" Rainbow answered.
"Uncr....." Pinkie added, sharing Rainbow Dash's shock.
".....edible!!" Lighting Lad finished, "I knew you'd say that."
"Breath Garth," Saturn Girl smiled, "breath."
"You may not know it, yet," Cosmic Boy said, "but in this era, you and your friends are legends."
Rainbow Dash felt like her mouth had hit the floor, when she heard that.
"Our team is formed around the values and elements of friendship the seven of you upheld through your actions and music."
"You all become a huge sensation in the future," Saturn Girl nodded, "I grew up listening to your songs."
"It's because of the seven of you," Charlie-27 continued, "that the Earth learns to be tolerate of other races and planets."
"That's enough," Starhawk interrupted, "we're all excited to have two legends here, but we know that telling them their own future is dangerous."
"Legends," Rainbow Dash repeated, to herself.
"Come on," Lighting Lad said, "the others will want to meet you, too."
Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie followed Lighting Lad from the recovery ward to the central meeting/control room.
In the room were the rest of the Legion of Superheroes and Guardians of Galaxy.
"Ah," a light blue skinned teenager said, as the two entered, "good to see the two of you back on your feet."
"Thanks," Rainbow Dash replied, then she noticed the three nodes on the teen's forehead, "Brainiac!"
"Wasn't he a machine?" Pinkie Pie asked Rainbow Dash, "and didn't Superman fight him and send him to the scrapheap?"
"Wait!" a girl with hair that looked like it was on fire interrupted, "you've got it all wrong, Brainy's our friend."
"Huh?" Rainbow Dash asked, confused.
"You are correct," the blue teen nodded, "I am a Brainiac, but I'm not a machine, I'm organic, the Brainiac you've heard of is my ancestor, I am Brainiac 5, I help my friends keep the word safe to make up for my ancestor's legacy of evil."
"Ah," Lighting Lad said, as he joined Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie, "I see you've already met Brainy."
"Yes," Brainiac 5 nodded, "I may I say it is a real honour."
"In that case," Lighting Lad continued, "allow me to introduce you to the rest of our team."
The other members of the team stepped forward, these being: Blok, Nicholette Gold a.k.a. Nikki, Reep Daggle a.k.a. Chameleon Boy, Aleta Ogord, Gim Allon a.k.a. Colossal Boy, Yondu Udonta, Andrew Nolan a.k.a. Ferro Lad, Martinex T'Naga, Mon-El, Krugarr, Charles 'Chuck' Taine a.k.a. Bouncing Boy, Jo Nah a.k.a. Ultra Boy, Dawnstar, Tasmia Mallor a.k.a. Shadow Lass, Brin Londo a.k.a. Timber Wolf, Jan Arrah a.k.a. Element Lad, Nura Nal a.k.a. Dream Girl, Jacques Foccart a.k.a. Invisible Kid, Drake Burroughs a.k.a. Wildfire and CeCe Beck a.k.a. Thunder.
All the members were starstruck and surprised to meet Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie.
"So," Mon-El, a Daxamite an offshoot of Kryptonians, asked, "what bring the two of you to the 31st century?"
"Well," Pinkie began, "this really bad guy named Kang is traveling through out history and taking out any heroes he and his army can find."
"Hmmm," Brainiac 5 said, after some thought, "that might explain whats blocking Starhawk's foresight and Dream Girl's visions."
"What do you mean, Brainy?" Wildfire inqured.
"Well," Brainiac 5 replied, "since Kang and his forces are attacking the past and future simultaneously, all of time is in flux."
Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes, "Twilight would have field day you," she groaned, "you're going to put that in terms for those of us that don't speak egghead?"
"To put it simply," Brainiac 5 continued, "all of time is like static on a TV."
"Wait a minute," Timber Wolf interjected, "if the heroes of the past don't exist, then how are we still here?"
"Time is in flux, Timber Wolf," Brainiac 5 replied, "for all we know, any one of us could cease to exist at anytime."
The whole room was silent.
"Whoa," Chameleon Boy, an alien from a race of shapeshifters called the Durlan, breathed, breaking the silent "this is heavy."
"Back on topic," Martinex, a crystal alien from Pluto, said, "when Lighting Lad and the others found you, he told us that your attackers looked like Thor, Spiderman, Elongated man and Red Tornado."
"Yeah, whats up with that?" Element Lad inquired.
"Well," Brainiac 5 answered, "I think we can assume that they are evil, twisted counterparts to the heroes."
"Also the guy leading them," Ultra Boy added, "he looked like he'd stepped straight out of ancient Egypt."
"If you'd studied your history," Brainiac 5 continued, "you'd know that one of the Pharaohs of Egypt was named Rama-Tut."
"He must be Kang's ancestor," Nikki, a genetically engineered human from Mercury, realised.
"Ok," Thunder said, "enough with the egghead talk, lets go bash some bad guys."
"Sounds like a plan," Wildfire nodded.
"All we need to do is find these guys so we can...." was all Bouncing Boy could say, before a huge explosion rocked the HQ.
"Well," Dawnstar sighed, "at least, we don't have to look far to find them."
"Right," Rainbow Dash nodded, "let's go."
"No," Starhawk said, as he and the remaining members of the Legion and Guardians entered the room.
"What!?" Pinkie Pie protested.
"I'm sorry," Starhawk replied, "but I must insist that you two remain here in control room."
"My brother is right," Aleta continued, before ether Rainbow Dash or Pinkie Pie could protest, "we can't put your lives in danger, if anything happens to you in this time the results could be catastrophic."
"Yeah," Rainbow Dash retorted, "the reason the Rama-Tut and those villains are here is to take all of you out."
"Regardless," Shadow Lass said, "the both of you are remain here, in the control room."
"That's an order," Mon-El finished.
With that, most of the Legion of Superheroes and the Guardians of the Galaxy left the control room.
Yondu, Chameleon Boy, Charlie-27 and Ferro Lad remained behind with Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie.
The lower levels of Legion HG
"What are we waiting for?" The Spider whined.
"Yeah," Elasti-man grumbled, "I hate waiting."
"Aye," Hammer nodded, sounding as equally annoyed as his comrades, "waiting is a coward's tactic."
"Affirmative," Silver Cyclone agreed, "waiting is illogical."
"Patience, my friends, Patience" Rama-Tut murmured, "everything comes to those who wait."
"Halt!" Mon-El commanded, as he, the Legion and the Guardians arrived at the villains locations.
"Finally," The Spider smirked, "and I thought this was going to be boring."
"Alright," Elasti-man said, "let's rock."
"Finally," Hammer smiled, "some opponents, worthy to challenge the might of the Hydra."
"Observation:" Silver Cyclone spoke, "You are all going to die."
"Foolish, heroes!" Rama-Tut laughed, "I am a conqueror of men, a Pharaoh, its amusing you fools think you can defeat me."
He nodded to the villains, "you all know what to do," he smiled.
Without another word, the heroes and the villains charged at each other.
Back in the control room.
Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie and the remaining Legion and Guardians members watched the battle unfold.
"You think the others will be able to beat them?" Pinkie Pie asked.
"I don't know," Yondu replied, "I don't think we've encountered foes like this before."
"We have to help them," Rainbow Dash insisted.
"No," Yondu replied, "we have our orders."
"To protect the two you," Ferro lad finished.
"But if your teammates lose," Rainbow Dash argued, "then all of you will never have existed."
"Ok," Charlie-27 said, "what do you have in mind?"
"We kick butt," Rainbow Dash replied.
"Just better," Pinkie Pie finished.
"If you're going to go out there," Ferro lad interrupted, "at least go prepared."
He produced a ring from a storage cabinet, "you'll need this," he said, handing the ring to Pinkie, "Legion flight ring."
"You're both gonna need these," Yondu added, taking some star-shaped badges from another storage cabinet, "Guardian's communication/teleportation stars."
"The ring works through mental control," Chameleon boy explained, "and allows you to fly."
"Finally I have a ring," Pinkie squealed, flying around, she had mastered the flight ring quickly
"Alright," Rainbow Dash said, as she put on the Guardian's star "let's go."
Back to the battle.
Rama-Tut stood over the defeated heroes.
"Foolish heroes," he laughed, "You really thought you could beat me?"
"It an't over till the fat lady sings" Mon-El declared, as he and other Legion members and Guardian members got to their feet.
"Declaration:" Silver Cyclone stated, "you are beaten and yet you keep fighting, what do you hope to accomplish?"
"You really wanna know?" Colossal Boy responded.
"We don't fight for ourselves," Blok, an alien from a race of sentient rock-creatures, continued.
"We fight to protect those who cannot protect themselves," Dream Girl carried on.
"From monsters like you," Timber Wolf added.
"That is the very thing that makes us who we are," Krugarr, an alien from a race of long-lived beings called Lems, finished, "and thats something evil like yours will never understand."
As Legion members and the Guardians were keeping the villains distracted, Invisible kid, using his powers, crept up begin Silver Cyclone.
But, before Invisible kid could strike, Silver Cyclone's head rotated around to face him.
"Observation:" Silver Cyclone said, "you are dimwitted."
Invisible kid didn't have time to react, before he thrown across the room by a torrent of wind.
But, just before he could hit the ground Invisible kid was surrounded by blue energy, which set him down on the ground.
"What?!" The Spider demanded.
"Hey, meanie," a voice called, "you like picking on people?"
"Try picking on us then," another voice finished.
The villains turned to see Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Yondu, Chameleon Boy, Charlie-27 and Ferro Lad.
"What are you guys doing here?" Mon-El asked, as the girls and the rest of the heroes joined him and others.
"Come on," Rainbow Dash smiled, "we weren't just going to leave you guys hanging."
"Don't get mad at us," Pinkie Pie added, "you would have done the same thing, if you were us."
"They have a point," Brainiac 5 nodded.
"Ok," Mon-El agreed, "I say we show Rama-Tut and his goons what we can do together."
"Alright, everyone," Rainbow Dash declared, "let's do this."
"She's right," agreed Cosmic Boy, as he and rest of Legion and the Guardians got their feet and joined the girls and the others, "we can beat them if we work together."
"What are you waiting for?" Rama-Tut barked, at the evil hero analogs, "GET THEM!"
The villains obeyed, charging at the heroes.
The girls and the heroes likewise charged at their attackers.
A furious battle erupted as the two teams clashed.
The girls and the heroes fought as hard as they could against villains using the best of their abilities.
All this unfolded while Rama-Tut looked on.
After a while, the villains were defeated, leaving only Rama-Tut.
"If you'd like to give up," Major Victory proclaimed, "now would be a good time."
"You think you've won?" Rama-Tut laughed, "you are only prolonging the inevitable."
With that, Rama-Tut and the evil counterparts disappeared.
"Yeah," Lighting Lad cried, "you'd better run."
"Thank you," Starhawk said, "and I'm sorry we tried to keep you out of the fight."
"It's alright," Pinkie Pie smiled.
"Besides we couldn't just leave you guys to fight alone," Rainbow Dash added, "because thats what friends do, they have each other's backs."
"Theres a reason you and your friends are legends," Cosmic Boy said.
"So what happens now?" Chameleon Boy asked.
"Well, you guys are safe," Rainbow Dash replied, "so our work here is done."
"Before you go," Brainiac 5 said, before the girls could leave, "we can't allow you to keep the Legion ring and the Guardian's stars."
"Awww," Pinkie Pie sighed, as she gave her Legion flight ring to Brainiac 5, "well, it was fun while it lasted."
"Sorry," Brainiac 5 replied, as Rainbow Dash handed him the Guardian's stars, "but if we let you keep them the future technology could pollute the timestream."
"But still," Saturn Girl interjected, "we'd like to make the two of honorary legionnaires."
"Awesome," Rainbow Dash smiled, "catch you guys next time."
"Anytime, you guys are in the past," Pinkie Pie said, sharing Rainbow Dash's smile, "feel free to drop by and say hi."
"Noted," Wildfire replied.
With that, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie activated their recall devices and disappeared back to the Waverider.
"Wow," Ultra Boy remarked, "so that was Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie."
"Let us never forget their actions here, today," Starhawk nodded.
"Indeed," Element Lad nodded, "it is because of what they stood for that we continue the fight for a better future."
