Chapter 12: Messages and Calls

I opened the door to my house and entered. I silently, trudged for the couch in front of the TV and sat down to face it.

"You know what might make me feel better..." I said to myself. "If I turned on My Little Pony."

I pressed the Netflix button, but then the TV suddenly started swarming with static and colors.

"Oh no..." I growled, pressing the button. "Dang TV's busted... I just paid for it!!!"

I continuously pressed the button until suddenly, a small ball of energy formed into view. It wasn't empty, though... the face of a unicorn stared back at me.

"What the-" I mumbled.

"Hello? Can somepony hear me?" the unicorn spoke.

"Luster Dawn?" I asked.

"Yes," she nodded, surprisingly not shocked that I knew her.

"HOW are you communicating with me? Don't you need to be EXTREMELY powerful or something to talk to me?" I replied.

"It's complicated... I know that I have to be powerful enough to communicate with you," Luster said. "But... in spite of my unicorn-level magic I tried attempting it anyway! And I was surprised it even worked! I think it's because the events that have happened have made it easy for me to access your home. Anyway, I figured that communication with your world was the only way to tell the trio that Equestria is in grave danger! You see, this pony named Judgement Law sent Chrysalis, Tirek, and Cozy to your world. After that, he took over Equestria by turning the Princess and some of her friends into stone! Only I managed to escape before he stole our magic!"

This seemed like an impossible stretch, but I ignored it.

"Hold up!" I exclaimed. "How could he do all that magic, and HOW did you know the trio was here?!?!"

"I don't know! He could be extremely powerful for no reason at all!!! And as for how I knew they were here, it took skill. I successfully spied on Judgement and his two helpers as they discovered that the trio was here. So I tried to spy on the trio with my own magic, which is another spell I didn't know I could do. Eventually, when I saw the trio was taken by the police, I decided to try to communicate with you three! When I saw that giant black rectangle on the wall, I figured I would communicate with you THERE since you made it seem like it was a machine. And while it worked, I wonder how it is even POSSIBLE!!!!"

"Wait, are you asking me for help?"

"Yes. Because I also overheard what Judgement planned to do! He was gonna make sure his comrades restrained the magic and flight on the trio, just like what Princess Twilight did when I reformed them. They have no hope! But with the most unlikely creatures to help them, Judgement won't notice a thing!

"How will I know where they are? And if they're far, how can I get there that fast?"

"I can figure out where the trio is and teleport you there. Are there any suggestions of what to do?"

"Hmmmmm..." I pondered. "I GOT IT!!!! How about I suggest some friends to help us out? I already know who I want, so with one phone call, I can get them here."

"Ok. Who do you suggest?" Luster asked.



Meanwhile...



The former villains were worried about where they were going. They were in a mysterious carriage that was flashing blue and red lights, heading to an unknown location.

"Where are you taking us? What is this thing?" Cozy finally asked.

"This is a police car, which is what we policemen drive. And as for where you're going, I don't exactly know," the policeman grabbing a circle thing replied. "Probably some sort of FBI station where you can get studied? I have one in mind, but it is VERY far from here."

BAM!!!!

A loud noise startled everyone in the police car, which started swerving and hobbling.

"Drat! The tire must be flat!" said the other policeman.

The police car went to the side of the road and stopped. The two policemen got out of the car and headed to the right side of the car. The trio turned their heads to see what the police were doing, but two seconds after they did, the policemen stood up, glowing purple, and appearing to be in a trance. They turned around, and the former villains could see a cloaked pony come out of the woods, a purple glow on his head.

"Well, now that you got what we wanted, it is time for the next step..." the pony mumbled. "But first..."

The purple glow on the pony got brighter, and suddenly, the trio started to feel weaker.

"There," the pony appeared to smirk, the glow on his horn dimming. "With your magic restrained, you can't escape, even if you wanted to. And you may be wondering WHY you three are still humans! Well, you'll see soon enough! Now as for you policemen, I want one of you to take out that device of yours."

The policeman on the left took out his phone.

"Now, I request one of you to tell me the PERFECT place to take these villains to!"

"There is this one lab in Quantaci, Virginia..." the policeman with the phone said, clearly dazed.

"EXCELLENT!!! Show me an image at once!"

The policeman tapped the device with his fingers for a few minutes until he showed the pony the image.

"Hm... I'll be right back..."

The pony vanished, and it left them all alone. There was a bit of a moment of silence.

"What's going on?" Cozy Glow whispered.

"I'm not so sure..." Tirek mumbled.

"This is bad... this is what it feels like... to feel like you're in a low position, while holding out hope that your friends or allies will help you..." Chrysalis whispered.

"Don't worry, Chrysalis, it will be all right," Tirek assured.

The next five to ten minutes carried on, nearly completely unspoken, but finally, the pony returned.

"I've found the perfect place. Get out of the car, you three. NOW!"

The trio hesitantly obeyed. Chrysalis opened the door and got out, followed by Tirek, and then Cozy Glow.

The pony increased the brightness on his horn, and it appeared as if two more cloaked ponies were coming out of the bushes, before everything around them fizzled with yellow. And then, the trio suddenly found themselves at a new unfamiliar location.

They saw policemen were all outside, surrounding the car but the pony... or ponies... were gone, along with the cops they were already with. The police car was gone as well. Now, the three of them were all on a table, surrounded by people in suits.

The first one to speak was a tall and thin woman. She had black hair, a black formal suit, black sunglasses, and a wire coming out of her ear.

"Uuuuummm..." she started. "What's the meaning of this?"

The trio didn't know what to do. They tried to change back, but they were still humans! They weren't sure if they could turn back at all.

"Um... we can explain?" Cozy nervously smiled.

The trio suddenly began glowing green. Slowly, their forms changed. Their hands faded, extra appendages grew, along with other changes to their bodies.

Finally, when the green glow faded, the trio all felt their hooves touch the ground as the woman saw their true forms. Confusion was no longer on her face, but rather amusement.

"What... is even... going on?..." Chrysalis whispered.

"Well, well, well..." the woman smirked.
