Twilight, Miss Tick, Ruby, and Random snuck their way onboard the command ship of the bread monsters with Lion following them in a cardboard box.
“And then I said...” Ruby said before getting rudely interrupted by Lion.
“Now that’s a katana,” Lion dryly responded, “I heard this story before.”
“Still, it never gets old, ex-dee,” Miss Tick said.
They quickly hid behind a wall.
“Here’s the plan,” Lion said as he pulled out some bread monster corpses, “You lot are gonna put these on your heads and then I’m gonna control your minds.”
“Lion!” both Ruby and Tick shouted.
“Okay, I’ll just control Twilight’s mind while the rest of you pretend to be mind-controlled. But you better do a very convincing job of being mind-controlled.”
Twilight just gave Lion a disturbed look.
“Don’t worry, it will be fine,” Lion said in a casual manner, “I promise not to get aroused while controlling your mind.”
“Do you really need to control my mind?” Twilight asked in an annoyed tone.
“Yes,” Lion replied, “Otherwise, they would know that you have not been hijacked by their brethren and are instead wearing their corpses like hats.”
“You guys are crazy!” Twilight exclaimed.
“Of course, we are,” Lion said jovially, “Because if we weren’t, then this plan won’t work. Also, some of us are a part of this other secret organization planning on taking over the world.”
“What?!”
“Relax, the leader of that organization is super friendly and wouldn’t execute those plans anyway.”
“I certainly hope not!” Twilight exclaimed, “It’s bad enough that I had to wake up this morning to an alien trying to eat my face!”
As the princess and the mind-dominating expert squabbled, Miss Tick looked over in the corner and saw a gorilla floating in midair. Its eyes were glowing the same orangey-yellow colour as the ponies controlled by the bread monsters, in addition to glowing red cracks and electric sparks scattered all over its body.
“Uh...guys?” Miss Tick said, “We got a problem.”
Within the control room, the Harbreader observed through an emerald screen five ponies, including one practicing the boxtrot. Deciding now would be a good time to wipe out this vermin, he took matters into his own hands and assumed direct control of his recently acquired puppets.
“I AM ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL!” the Harbreader said in a cold tone.
Everypony stared at the gorilla, which had stopped floating and producing electricity. And out of nowhere, a green humanoid with a question mark for a face inexplicably entered the vicinity. He wore a business suit.
“So,” the green man asked, “Figured out who we’re killing yet?”
Everypony immediately pointed to the mutated gorilla.
“Oh, fuck!”
“Oh, so we’re just gonna drop the F-bomb out of the blue?” Lion asked, “No bits of mild language beforehand? Even though we usually reserve swearing for crossovers and Equestria Girls stories.”
"Lion," Random said, "This is a crossover."
"Well, it didn't start out as one!" Lion shouted.
Everypony, and the green man, looked at Lion in confusion. While the green man knew what Lion was talking about, it didn’t know that there was a unicorn hiding underneath the cardboard box.
“Welp, I’m just here for a temporary visit,” the green man said, “If anybody needs me, I’m gonna go wash some dishes and run afoul of ancient Equestrian laws, later!”
“Sheesh!” Lion exclaimed, “And I thought my cameos in other stories were egregious! Anyway, let’s kick this gorilla’s butt.”
Lion threw the cardboard box at the gorilla’s head and charged in.
“Let’s do this,” Lion said as he charged in, “LEEEEEEEROY JEEEEEEEENKINS!!!!”
The gorilla swatted Lion away with little to no effort.
“Ow!” Lion said.
“Plan of attack,” Random said, “Let’s not do what Lion did.”
“You know, I wouldn’t have had to resort to that if Twilight would have allowed me to control her and Ruby’s mind,” Lion complained.
The gorilla charged at Random and tried to squish him with its fist. Unfortunately, due to Random being a unicorn, he got stuck on the gorilla’s fist the moment the gorilla lifted its fist up.
“Uh...guys?” Random said, “I’m stuck.”
“Nice to meet you, Stuck, ex-dee,” Miss Tick quipped, which earned him an unamused glare from Twilight.
Realizing that she was surrounded by idiots, Twilight took matters into her own hooves. She teleported behind the gorilla and pried the bread monster controlling it off the back of its head. The gorilla immediately fell asleep, as soon as the red marks disappeared and its eyes stopped glowing yellow.
“That was all you guys had to do!” Twilight shouted.
Both Miss Tick and Ruby turned away and sheepishly rubbed the back of their heads.
“Can somepony help me out here?” Random said, muffled under the gorilla’s fist, “I’m still stuck to the gorilla.”
Lion got up and used his magic to lift the gorilla’s fist up and pry Random off of it.
“Thank you,” Random said.
“My pleasure,” Lion replied, “Now, let’s see if we can find where the big bad bread monster in charge of all these little bread monsters is.”
“Are you all trying for a section 8?” everypony heard a voice ask.
Right next to them was a nearly naked ape-like creature covered in honey, with the only article of clothing being the helmet on his head.
“You are the sorriest excuses for soldiers I have ever seen!” the creature said, “Let me show how a real soldier fights!”
“Did the director send you?” Lion asked.
“I was reluctant to fight beside you Commie ponies,” the creature replied, “But then I saw that the American bread had betrayed us! They had become no better than the reds! So I seek to atone for releasing this menace onto the world by forming an alliance with you ponies!”
“Uh...thanks, ex-dee?” Miss Tick said.
“Now then, let’s go!” the creature said before pulling a shovel out of what everypony hoped was out of thin air and charged down the corridor while letting out a war cry.
“He’ll fit right in, ex-dee,” Miss Tick said.
