//------------------------------// // Meanwhile... // Story: Against All Odds. // by The_Chill_Author //------------------------------// Twilight paced back and forth in front of the Crystal Mirror, they were now in the Crystal Empire and they were waiting for a special someone to open, and when I say they I mean the Main Six, Starlight, Shining Armor and Cadence. They were all awaiting Sunset Shimmer who was the possible key to defeat Thanos, when she comes here they will explain why, but Twilight was growing restless. "When is she coming? She said she'd come in five minutes!" Twilight said as she was pacing up a storm, Cadence sighed. "We must be patient, Twilight." Cadence told her sister-in-law. Twilight groaned. "I know, I know, I know, but I can't just... get over Thanos attacking Canterlot, getting the Power Stone, killing our friend Nox, and we're not going to war with the Minotaur Kingdom!" Twilight said in a loud tone. "Yeah! We need to be punching some Minotaurs! I especially need to take down that General, Grievous for tricking me!" Rainbow Dash growled. "And ah need to take down Lucci, ah hear he is a monster so ah think ah should beat him." Applejack said thinking about smashing Lucci's skull with her hooves. "Especially we got the basics down with, what's it called? Haki?" "You girls don't have really good Haki, I only taught Haki I think you would be proficient at. Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Guardian Haki. Twilight, Rarity, Starlight, Twilight, Watchful Haki, remember that these monsters know all of them, and Thanos knows Emperors Haki." Shining Armor says, looking at the group. The mirror suddenly had ripples on them and Sunset walked out, looking at the group. She smiled and waved at everyone, she walked up to the group. "She's here, what's the plan?" Rainbow Dash asked impatiently. "Twilight didn't tell you girls?" Sunset asked, they all nodded. Sunset deadpanned Twilight who let out a nervous laugh, she cleared her throat. "Anyway, I have devised a plan, you see Sunset here has an ability, she can turn and control fire. Don't believe me? Look." Twilight levitated a book with her horn and threw it at Sunset, the book harmlessly passed through Sunset, Twilight then caught the book in her magical grasp and put it back into place. The group were in awe, asking questions on how she can do that. Twilight then cleared her throat, the attention coming back to her. "Now, I devised a plan, as I said before, we need a team, and I know this team can take down Thanos and his allies." Twilight grinned, which was rare and uncomfortable. In a distant place called the badlands was a mare with hair that was the color of velvet and clad in a suit of armor was a mare adorning a scar, her name? Fizzle Pop, formerly known as Tempest Shadow of the Storm King's Army. She was saved by Twilight from doing something she might regret, she was suddenly sent a message and her eyes widened and looked behind her in the direction of Canterlot, she grinned. "Looks like someone needs my help." Fizzle Pop said before she sprinted to that location her broken horn lighting up a she grunted, she jumped up and teleported ten feet forwards. Thanks to her solitary training she has been able to teleport and perform weak spells. With a grin she ran towards Ponyville. In the Dragon Lands... Ember stood above the highest point of the Dragon Lands, a volcano, she looked at Ponyville and a message was sent directly to her brain that said. "Go." Ember looked back to her Royal Adviser, Blaze who was blind, Blaze possesses an ability to see even though he was blind, Blaze nodded and Ember dropped down from the volcano and she flew towards Ponyville, with her Bloodstone Scepter. As she flew, she flew over a Changeling Hive, Thorax's hive. Immediately he was alerted by the same message Ember was given. And he turned to his brother, Pharynx. "I get a feeling someone is calling for me, I must go." Thorax said looking up. Pharynx nodded, and sighed. "Then go if you must, brother." Pharynx walked to a hall, "I'll keep watch." When he said that Thorax was already gone. "God darn it Thorax." "With everything set and ready... Thanos is going down."
