//------------------------------// // Conqueror (Humans) // Story: Foreign Relationships // by smirker //------------------------------// Volvox was a three thousand feet tall, three hundred fifty feet wide, three hundred feet long creature with three heads with the back of his heads shaped like semicircles and the front shaped like two right triangles that were back-to-back and did not have any ears or noses, his six eyes were slanted and monochromatic and did not have any pupils or irises and were on the sides of his head. The right half of his body and right head were gray and skeletal with black holes in place of his eyes and white teeth, the five claws on his right front foot and right hind foot were also made of gray bones. The left half of his body and his left head were pitch black like a shadow, the head's eyes and teeth and five claws on his left front foot and left hind foot were red. His center head, spine, and tail were pink and made out of a parasitic-like skin, his spine had yellow seven pointed star-like organic matters growing on him and each tip was sharp, the tip of his tail was yellow and shaped like a spear's tip with sharp tips on the back corners, and the center head's eyes and teeth, the seven-pointed organic stars, and his tail's tip were yellow. He had existed since the beginning of time and watched the world form, the angels and demons were among the first, other lives began to form until the humans were the last. The other creatures got a bad surprise when the humans began conquering the Earth and making other species' extinct, the other creatures teamed up to fight back while the humans grew stronger, "We won't win at this rate." a demon named Dommiel said, he was about eight feet tall and had a muscular body, he was wearing a dark blue suit of armor with three red-orange organic spikes on his pauldrons, a white spike on the back of each couter, white spikes on the back of his bracers and gauntlets, a white spike on the top of each sabaton and the end of his sabatons were pointed and sharp, his cuirass did not have any decorations on it, and his leg armor were custom-made, he had one piece cover his entire shins and calves, knee pads, another piece covering his entire thighs, and a piece of armor that covered his groin and butt areas, his helmet covered his entire head and left only his glowing red eyes exposed, he had three white horns on his helmet with two curved horns on the sides and one straight horn on his forehead. The humans eventually discovered how to contact and control the dead and necromancy, they then learned how to use magic and alchemy, they went through time to the future where humans ruled the Earth and had advanced technology and knowledge about chemistry while magic, alchemy, and powers over souls have been forgotten. The humans traveled through time and came back with the humans from the future alongside advanced weapons, the other creatures struggled to survive while the humans began conquering the Earth and killing other creatures, "This is no good, we have to get help." Dommiel stated, Volvox looked at the wormhole device the humans brought from the future with his telekinesis and he looked through other realms and dimensions, "Closest one I can find is this place here with these colorful horses." Volvox commented, "They don't look like they can be of any help." Dommiel said, "Well, it's better than nothing, let's give it a try." Volvox replied, and he set the coordinates, a wormhole opened and they traveled through it. Equestria and the other countries were getting on with their days peacefully until they saw electricity appearing to the west of the Bone Dry Desert, everycreature watched and the new land appeared while everybody looked on in surprise, "Wow, look at the variety of creatures." Starlight Glimmer commented, "We come in peace." Dommiel said, the other creatures looked at them, "We need help, humans are conquering our world and rendering us all extinct, we're fighting a losing battle, we're looking for aid and a new home if possible." Volvox's middle head spoke in a deep, booming voice, "We're always willing to make new friends, our magic and defenses against threats are powered by love and friendship, we will be glad to provide you all aid and a new home." Princess Celestia announced, "I'm not liking the sound of this powered by love and friendship stuff, Volvox." Dommiel reported, "Let's at least give it a try." Volvox responded, "I'll go ahead and send my student and her friends to greet you all, so go on and introduce yourselves to them." Princess Celestia stated, and the Mane Six and Spike traveled by hot air balloon. The Mane Six and Spike went over and Fluttershy quivered in fear at seeing some of the creatures, "Relax, Fluttershy, I don't think they mean us any harm." Twilight Sparkle said, "But some of them look so scary." Fluttershy replied, "Ah agree, lots of 'em don't look too friendly." Applejack commented, "I mean, they are at war, so they gotta have weapons and armor." Rainbow Dash stated, "We fought threats in Equestria often, we didn't wear any super duper scary looking armor." Pinkie Pie reminded, "Well, I suppose I can do some rearranging on their outfits after they're done with the battle they're in, some of their stuff is rather unfashionable." Rarity observed, "The armor I saw the dragons wear scared me when we did that race for who will be the new Dragon Lord." Spike added, and they arrived at the new land. They walked forward and looked on in shock at how huge Volvox was close up, "I'll go ahead and start then, I am Volvox, ruler of these creatures and very first being ever created back at our home, all of these people and creatures here are some of the remaining species' from the humans' attacks." Volvox stated, "And that guy with you?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "I am Dommiel, his second-in-command, I'm a demon like many others here." Dommiel answered, "Anymore rulers?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Those seventy two demons there are high ranking commanders if me or Volvox are absent, that's King Bael right there, that's Duke Agares, Prince Vassago, Marquis Samigina, President Marbas, Duke Valefor, Marquis Amon, Duke Barbatos, King Paimon, President Buer, Duke Gusion, Prince Sitri, King Beleth, Marquis Leraje, Duke Eligos, Duke Zepar, President Botis, Duke Bathin, Duke Sallos, King Purson, President Morax, Prince Ipos, Duke Aim, Marquis Naberius, President Glasya-Labolas, Duke Buné, Marquis Ronove, Duke Berith, Duke Astaroth, Marquis Forneus, President Foras, King Asmoday, Prince Gaap, Count Furfur, Marquis Marchosias, Prince Stolas, Marquis Phenex, Count Halphas, President Malphas, Count Raum, Duke Focalor, Duke Vepar, Marquis Sabnock, Marquis Shax, King Vine, Count Bifrons, Duke Vual, President Haagenti, Duke Crocell, Knight Furcas, King Balam, Duke Alloces, President Caim, Duke Murmur, Prince Orobas, Duke Gremory, President Ose, President Amy, Marquis Orias, Duke Vapula, King Zagan, President Valac, Marquis Andras, Duke Flauros, Marquis Andrealphus, Marquis Kimaris, Duke Amdusias, King Belial, Marquis Decarabia, Prince Seere, Duke Dantalion, and Count Andromalius." Dommiel announced, "Hold on, let me write it down, that's a lot to process and memorize." Twilight Sparkle said as she wrote down their names on a paper and organized them by title and rank, "Okay, anymore?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Seven more, they're right there. Lucifer, Prince of Pride, Leviathan, Prince of Envy, Mammon, Prince of Greed, Beelzebub, Prince of Gluttony, Belphegor, Prince of Sloth, Asmodeus, Prince of Lust, and Satan, Prince of Wrath." Dommiel stated, "So, are you guys part of those other guys there?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Nope, they're the Demons of Solomon, we're the Seven Princes of Hell, I'm the leader, we're higher in rank than them." Lucifer explained, "Prior to the humans conquering us, we were at war with the angels, we have not seen them in our world ever since we started fighting the humans." Leviathan stated, "Okay, that's interesting to know." Twilight Sparkle commented, "Say, there's a lot of different types of creatures here." Pinkie Pie said, "Yeah, y'all don't mind tellin' us what they are?" Applejack requested, "Those flying creatures there with the human female and bird bodies are harpies, those black apes with red eyes there are skunk apes, those long nosed creatures there are tengus, the giant skeletons are gashadokuros, the foxes are kitsunes, the raccoons are tanukis, the badgers are mujinas, those green guys by the water there are kappa, those weasels wielding sickles are kamaitachis, that group of giant spiders are tsuchigumos, those big bipedal bears are onikumas, those ape-like creatures there are the satoris, those walking cats with one tail there are bakenekoes, those walking cats there with two tails are nekomatas, those giant flying birds there are rocs, those metallic birds are Stymphalian birds, those snakes with human female heads there are nure-onnas, those floating flames in the air there are tenkas, those floating strips of cloth above you guys are ittan-momens, the monks behind me are yadōkai, the gray lions behind you guys are mngwas, those one-eyed bears with black spots are nandi bears, those big apes by Dommiel there are yowies, those little creatures by your feet are alps, the floating flames all around us are onibis, those creatures there with human heads, lion bodies, dragon wings, and scorpion tails are manticores, those bipedal beings made of clay to my left are golems, those red and blue skinned beings to my right there with knives are namahages, those red skinned beings wielding the black metallic clubs there with them are onis, those big flying female human faces in the sky above us are ōkubis, those big green and brown creatures with the wooden clubs at the swamps to my right are ogres, those female ghosts controlling the snow and ice to my left are yuki-onnas, those faceless female ghosts all around this land are mu-onnas, those big creatures with brown fur and three eyes there are trolls, those male and female demons there looking at their own appearances around us are incubi and succubi, those light blue skinned bipedal creatures with white eyes and two small holes for their nostrils are ghouls, those big and muscular one-eyed creatures there are cyclopes, those tall bipedal bats, humans with long fangs, and small flying bats around them there are vampires, those gray bipedal wolves with them are werewolves, those pale skinned humanoids with the pointed ears there are elves, those humanoids with the wings there are fairies, those tall guys with the two big fangs there are orcs, those short muscular guys are dwarfs, those really tall humanoids there are giants, those humanoids wrapped in bandages there are mummies, those beings there with no flesh and made of bones are skeletons, those flying fireballs with human faces are kechibis, those bipedal deer-like creatures there are wendigos, those big fishes with human faces and horns in the water there are ningyos, those big black creatures in the water around here are umi-bōzus, those half human, half horse beings walking around there are centaurs, those half human, half goat beings there are satyrs, and those skinny, pale humanoid beings there are draugr.", Volvox explained, "Hold on, let me write them down." Twilight Sparkle stated, and she did, "Okay, I also see you have some unique beings here that are different from the others." Twilight Sparkle stated, "We are, there's no one like us." a big male black dragon in the sky said, "And you are?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Tom, if Volvox, Dommiel, or the demons are unavailable, I take command." Tom answered, "So, are these creatures like the last of their kind or something?" Rainbow Dash questioned, "Nope, they're one of their kind of their entire species like me, well, except for one type, they're the only three of their kind." Volvox answered, "Well, go ahead and mention them." Twilight Sparkle remarked, "That two-headed dog here beside me is Orthrus, the three-headed dog there is Cerberus, that lion there with the goat head and snake for its tail there is Chimera, that lion there with the gold fur is the Nemean Lion, that giant boar there with it is the Erymanthian Boar, that bipedal humanoid bull there is Minotaur, that big serpent there is Hydra, the three-headed creature walking by it there is Azhi Dahaka, that six headed creature there above the water on the ledge there is Scylla, that whirlpool there is Charybdis, that lion with eagle wings there is Sphinx, that giant octopus in the water there is Kraken, that whale skeleton swimming in the water is Bake-kujira, that giant shark in the water is Isonade, that giant sea serpent there is Ikuchi, that being there washing beans in the ocean is Azukiarai, that big gray monster in the water there is the Loch Ness Monster, that creature there that looks similar to him is Morgawr, that one there that looks like them is Issie, that six-legged spider with the ox head by the ocean there is Ushi-Oni, that female humanoid spider close by it right there is Jorōgumo, that serpent in the sea there is Mizuchi, that bipedal fish-like creature in the water there is the Thetis Lake Monster, that red creature coming out of the water there is Nuckelavee, that big worm near the water to the north there is the Lambton Worm, that big red worm close by it there is the Mongolian Death Worm, that big salamander looking creature in the water there is Bunyip, that black horse by the water there is Kelpie, that big, bright colored flying pterosaur is Kongamato, that flying creature with antlers covered in red, green, and black scales there is Piasa, that giant eagle made of bronze there is the Caucasian Eagle, that floating smoke in the sky there is Enenra, that giant male head in the tree there by it is Tsurube-otoshi, that white and blue wolf in the sky there with lightning on it is Raijū, that floating intestine with the woman's head there is Penanggalan, that flying creature there is a shapeshifter called Aswang, that flying vampire-like creature there with no lower-body is Manananggal, that shapeshifter in the robe there is Boogeyman, that brown furred ape-like creature there is Bigfoot, the white furred one is Yeti, and the black furred one is Hibagon, that quadrupedal greenish-gray creature with spines coming out of its back there with them is Chupacabra, that small hairy creature there is Keukegen, that one hundred headed dragon entwined in the tree there is Ladon, that bull looking down over there is Catoblepas, that turtle-like creature with the lion head by it is Tarasque, that bipedal humanoid goat with the axe there is Goatman, that bipedal creature beside him that has the goat head, bat wings, and hoofed feet is Jersey Devil, the two-legged dragon with the rooster head there is Cockatrice, that giant snake over there is Basilisk, that giant centipede beside it is Ōmukade, that creature there with the monkey head, raccoon dog body, tiger limbs, and snake for its tail is Nue, that red oni on the throne there is Shuten-dōji, that wheel with fire on it that has a man's face on it by him there is Wanyūdō, that giant one-eyed oni there is Onihitokuchi, that female human skeleton there is Hone-Onna, that moving fire there taking the form of an old man is Rōjinbi, that big black dog running around this land that you see there is the Hound of Baskervilles, that giant snail-like creature by us over there is Lou Carcolh, that dragon over there is the Colchian Dragon, that one-eyed bat-like creature over there is Popobawa, that giant snake with the elephant's head slithering around over there is Grootslang, and those three women with snakes on their heads over there are Stheno, Euryale, and Medusa, their species is called gorgon." Volvox announced, "Wow, that's a lot to memorize, did ya get all of that, Twilight?" Applejack asked, "Yup, I wrote down everything he said while he was talking, I tried to spell their names the best I could." Twilight Sparkle replied, "Wait, how are you a one of a kind dragon if there are more dragons here, Tom?" Spike asked, "I'm the only dragon who can absorb souls and use spiritual energy." Tom answered, "Oh." Spike said, "Anything else you wanna know?" Dommiel asked, "No, I think that's enough for now." Twilight Sparkle replied, "So, what are these humans like?" Spike questioned, "Powerful, they have magic, technology, psychic powers, spiritual powers, methods of enhancing physical abilities, able to transform, and ways to counter our powers." Lucifer responded, "Well, we don't really have much in terms of technology, psychic powers, and spiritual powers, but we do have magic." Applejack commented, "That's good, it's better than nothing, and remember, don't trust any humans, if they appear, they're more than likely going to try to destroy your countries on the spot." Volvox warned, "I've encountered humans in the past, they were very friendly." Twilight Sparkle stated, "What was the environment you were in like?" Tom asked, "Well, I was only at a school, but it was very peaceful and the people were really nice." Twilight Sparkle responded, "It must've been a different realm or alternate timeline from our own." Beelzebub deduced, "Maybe, but we'll see when the time comes, we'll be going back now." Twilight Sparkle said, and she and her friends left on the hot air balloon, "What are you thinking so far, Volvox?" Flauros asked, "Let's see if their love and friendship powered magic can help." Volvox responded, and they all began fortifying the island. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna were in Canterlot and watching the new land while its natives fortified it, the Mane Six and Spike entered the throne room and went to them, "Princess Celestia, they seem friendly and welcoming, they have a huge variety of creatures, and several of them look intimidating." Twilight Sparkle reported, "I understand, Twilight, from the looks of it, it seems most of them were born that way and didn't alter their appearances to look the scary ways that they do." Princess Celestia deduced, "Also, they all seem to get along well and work fine, it looks like they just want to live in peace." Princess Luna added, "Ah mean, they said they need our help, so maybe they're tryin' to get on our good graces." Applejack commented, "That's alright, Applejack, as long as they don't cause any trouble, we'll be fine." Princess Celestia responded, "Still, I don't think that land of theirs is going to sustain them for long." Rainbow Dash remarked, "Indeed, some of them have more than one head, that one creature on the tree there has a hundred heads." Rarity added, "How they managed to survive is beyond me, it also looks like there's not enough food to feed them for long." Princess Celestia deduced, "Um, maybe we can give them something?" Fluttershy suggested, "Yeah, I've got plenty of sweets to spare." Pinkie Pie responded, "I don't think now's the time for that." Spike commented, "It isn't, head on home now, everybody, it's almost dark." Princess Celestia said, and they left and went to bed. Night time came and everything was peaceful until wormholes opened and humans appeared, everybody looked and saw they were all wearing dark gray armor that covered them head to toe with black glass in the two eye holes. The humans floated in the air by using telekinesis on themselves or wind magic, they began opening wormholes with their brains and tanks, airplanes, helicopters, and gunboats arrived. They began firing at the new land while Volvox shot hellfire blasts out of his three mouths, six eyes, tips of his front feet's toes and the balls of his front feet, and red electricity out of the tip of his tail. The kappas, ningyos, umi-bōzus, Scylla, Charybdis, Kraken, Bake-kujira, Isonade, Ikuchi, the Loch Ness Monster, Morgawr, Issie, Mizuchi, the Thetis Lake Monster, and the Lambton Worm acted as the first line of defense as most of them used their sizes to smash and capsize the gunboats and battleships while the humans controlled them with their psychic powers to make them fire their guns and cannons and drop depth charges. The Thetis Lake Monster boarded one battleship and ran to the control room and saw no one there and realized it was being controlled telepathically, it caught on fire and it quickly got off and dived back into the sea. Charybdis spun around and tried to suck in the gunboats and battleships but the humans used telekinesis on them and made them float through the air, Volvox shot hellfire blasts out of his mouths and destroyed them, the humans used telekinesis on the debris and made them fly forward. The airplanes and helicopters flew forward and the harpies, tengus, gashadokuros, kamaitachis, rocs, Stymphalian birds, tenkas, onibis, manticores, ōkubis, vampires, fairies, giants, kechibis, Sphinx, Kongamato, Piasa, the Caucasian Eagle, Enenra, Raijū, Penanggalan, Aswang, Manananggal, Jersey Devil, Nue, and Popobawa began attacking them. The tengus cut them apart with their swords, the kamaitachis flew with the wind and slashed the airplanes and helicopters with their sickles, the tenkas burned them, the fairies fired magical arrow of various elements, the giants smashed them with their blunt weapons, Raijū and Nue summoned lightning to shock them, while the others either bit, swatted, kicked, or pecked them. Enenra floated into the airplanes and helicopters in hopes of suffocating the pilots but there was no one inside, it floated out and to Volvox, "There's no one controlling the flying vehicles." Enenra reported in a deep male voice, "They must be controlled by the humans' psychic powers. Phoenix, Thunderbird, go." Volvox stated, and red fire and blue lightning appeared in the sky and formed into two birds, Phoenix shot fire out of his mouth while Thunderbird shot lightning out of his wings. The tanks fired missiles, machine guns, and smoke grenades everywhere and the skunk apes, kitsunes, tanukis, mujinas, tsuchigumos, onikumas, satoris, bakenekoes, nekomatas, nure-onnas, ittan-momens, yadōkai, mngwas, nandi bears, yowies, alps, golems, namahages, onis, ogres, yuki-onnas, mu-onnas, trolls, incubi, succubi, ghouls, cyclopes, werewolves, elves, orcs, dwarfs, mummies, skeletons, wendigos, centaurs, satyrs, draugr, Orthrus, Cerberus, Chimera, Nemean Lion, Erymanthian Boar, Minotaur, Hydra, Azhi Dahaka, Azukiarai, Ushi-Oni, Jorōgumo, Nuckelavee, the Mongolian Death Worm, Bunyip, Kelpie, Tsurube-otoshi, Boogeyman, Bigfoot, Yeti, Hibagon, Chupacabra, Keukegen, Ladon, Catoblepas, Tarasque, Goatman, Cockatrice, Basilisk, Ōmukade, Shuten-dōji, Wanyūdō, Onihitokuchi, Hone-Onna, Rōjinbi, the Hound of Baskervilles, Lou Carcolh, the Colchian Dragon, and Grootslang fought them. The kitsunes, tanukis, mujinas, bakenekoes, and nekomatas shapeshifted into golems with claws and slashed the tanks apart, the namahages cut them apart, the onis and ogres smashed them with their clubs, the nure-onnas wrapped around and constricted them, the ittan-momens wrapped around and tangled the tanks, the yuki-onnas froze them with their cold breaths, the mu-onnas absorbed the tanks into their bodies and smashed them, the elves, centaurs, and satyrs shot magic arrows while the centaurs also smashed and bucked the tanks, and the others either slashed or smashed the tanks with their weapons, claws, or fists. Dommiel summoned shadows to grab and smash the tanks while Ushi-oni crawled around and bit chunks out of them and Tom made a light blue aura fly and spin around him that destroyed the tanks when he shot them forward with his mind. The humans realized their vehicles were getting destroyed and they used their minds to open more wormholes, submarines and naval mines came out and went to the land. Volvox shot lightning out of his tail's tip and into the sea, it became electrified while the humans moved the submarines and naval mines out of the water, Stheno, Euryale, and Medusa looked at the humans but force fields of various colors deflected their petrification powers, Volvox quickly used his telekinesis to move others away from being turned to stone. The kamaitachis flew to the humans and tried to slash them with their sickles but force fields shot them away, Volvox, Dommiel, and Tom used long-range attacks on them but their force fields deflected them, the humans then made the submarines fire torpedoes and the naval mines explode with their psychic powers. Volvox and Lucifer slammed down on the torpedoes and naval mines and destroyed them, the humans shot white light magic out of their hands' at the demons and stunned them, Belphegor tried to use his gravity powers on the humans but their force fields repelled it. The vampires, Aswang, and Manananggal flew to the humans and tried to bite into them, they gagged and flew away while everyone saw metal under their bodies and the island's natives realized they were part machine. Beelzebub summoned flies and he commanded them to eat the humans, pink parasitic tendrils came out of their organic body parts while they shot bullets and lasers out of their fingertips, shoulders, and eyes, some of the humans also shot plasma projectiles out of the soles of their feet. The humans' eye lasers burned and destroyed parts of the land while every mid-range and long-range attack got deflected by their force fields, the humans used their magic to make their shadows join them in fighting and they ran onto the island. They used guns and many acrobatic attacks while Dommiel touched them and tried to control their shadows with his own magic but could not, Volvox slammed his front feet down on the humans and they regenerated, "What the?" a male oni asked, "Humans must have nanomachines in their bodies." Orobas deduced, Volvox grabbed the humans with his front legs and their eyes' glowed red and bodies became covered in white metallic armor, "What in tarnation?" Applejack exclaimed, the humans moved faster than before and shot lasers out of their eyes', beams out of their abdomens, bullets out of their fingers, plasma projectiles out of their feet, and vibrating blades appeared on their wrists. The humans began attacking and many creatures got killed while their force fields continued deflecting any magic, mid-range attacks, and long-range attacks used on them, Volvox, the demons, gashadokuros, giants, Lou Carcolh, and Grootslang used their sizes to smash them while the humans generated shields from their chests that burned anything on contact, their armors got smashed and fell apart. The island's natives then began ripping their robotic parts off and their nanomachines replaced them with organic matter, the humans then transformed into various were-animals, "What? They can do that, too?" Rainbow Dash asked, "It seems like it, Rainbow Dash, I wonder if that's some kind of magic spell there." Twilight Sparkle stated, the were-animals began running, jumping, flying, swimming, slashing with their claws, and biting. Volvox shot hellfire blasts at them while Dommiel summoned shadow tentacles to restrain them, "Now, the were-animal forms destroy their armor and gear when they transform." Volvox ordered, and the island's natives attacked them, the nanomachines began to regrow them and Volvox incinerated them with his hellfire blasts. The humans became light blue and transparent and began floating around, "Oh, what now?" Rainbow Dash exclaimed, "Are those... ghosts?" Fluttershy quivered, the humans began shooting light blue blasts out of their hands' and eyes' while also shooting out brainwaves in the forms of circles that destroyed everything they touched. Tom tried to gather them together and the humans resisted, they flew into other creatures and possessed them, they attacked the others until Tom ripped them out of the natives' heads and gathered the humans together, they formed into a small circle and exploded. The island's natives panted while looking around, "Is everyone alright?" Volvox asked, everybody nodded, "That what we're up against?!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed, the island's natives nodded, "We'll explain their powers and gear tomorrow." Satan stated, "I think that'll be for the best, come on, everypony, let's get some rest." Princess Luna stated, and everybody slept while she entered the dream realm and got rid of the nightmares. The next day came and Princess Celestia yawned while raising the sun and Volvox watched her, "She seems to have powerful mental strength." Lucifer said, "No, she's using magic of her own, she's not moving the sun with psychic powers or her brain." Marchosias answered, "Oh." Lucifer said, "I see you all are awake, please, tell us about these humans that attack you all." Princess Celestia stated, and everybody gathered. Volvox, Dommiel, Tom, and the others looked around and saw Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadance, Shining Armor, Flurry Heart, Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, Spike, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, Trixie, Tempest Shadow, Dragon Lord Torch, Princess Ember, Grampa Gruff, Prince Rutherford, King Thorax, Pharynx, Queen Novo, Princess Skystar, Rain Shine, and Discord, "Volvox, this is Sunset Shimmer, she's the one residing in the world where I first encountered humans." Twilight Sparkle stated, "Twilight sent me a message last night on the humans you guys encountered last night, there are no humans like that in my world at all." Sunset Shimmer reported, "Your world? You a native there?" Dommiel questioned, "No, I'm from this world, I just live in that world now and rarely come to this one." Sunset Shimmer explained, "I see, hope your humans are better than ours." Dommiel stated, "I've been there and can confirm that world's humans are much friendlier than yours." Starlight Glimmer assured, "I can see Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, and Princess Twilight Sparkle of Equestria, Prince Shining Armor, Princess Cadance, Princess Flurry Heart of the Crystal Empire, Dragon Lord Torch and Princess Ember of the Dragon Lands, Grampa Gruff of Griffonland, Prince Rutherford from Yakyakistan, King Thorax and Pharynx from the Changeling Hive, Queen Novo and Princess Skystar from Mount Aris and Seaquestria, and Rain Shine from Kirin Grove are all here." Marchosias remarked, the rulers exclaimed, "How do you know our names and the countries we're from?" Princess Ember questioned, "It is one of my powers, I am a giver of true answers to all questions." Marchosias responded, "Then I believe you know the rest of us then." Discord remarked, "Yes, you're Discord, bringer of mischief and chaos." Marchosias remarked, "Can we start now?" Queen Novo requested, "Very well, as you all saw last night, the humans from our world are very powerful and well equipped, the first thing I'd like to point out is their force fields, they deflect mid-range and long-range attacks of all kinds." Tom stated, "What? Deflects everything?" Princess Skystar exclaimed, the island's natives nodded, "Shooting stuff out of horns is basically our country's unicorns main method of attacking." Rainbow Dash said, "She's right, for me and the other unicorns, that's going to nullify our main forms of attack and defense." Twilight Sparkle added, "Defenses still work, it's stuff directed at them that got deflected." Volvox corrected, "Maybe we can make something together then." Starlight Glimmer suggested, the ponies agreed, "So, um... what is that outfit they're wearing?" Princess Ember asked, "It's a special outfit the humans obtained from the future, it's made from some kind of synthetic fiber that acts as armor and is fireproof, waterproof, stabproof, freezeproof, shockproof, rustproof, acidproof, arrowproof, bulletproof, and bombproof, it also has synthetic muscle fibers on the inside to increase their muscle performance and physical abilities." Mammon explained, "Synthetic muscle fibers? That doesn't sound like it's created by magic." Princess Cadance stated, "It isn't, it's technology." Dommiel responded, "Technology? I mean, we have some of our own, but most advanced thing we have is the train system." Princess Luna commented, "You're very behind when compared to our world's humans then." Volvox replied, "There's more to the humans' armors' interiors as well, between the outer armor and synthetic muscle fibers is a powered exoskeleton suit that increases their physical abilities even farther." Tom said, "Was it that strange looking armor with weapons they activated?" Shining Armor asked, "No, that's bio-armor, completely different, that's activated telepathically." Leviathan answered, "What does telepathically mean?" Rainbow Dash questioned, "Contacted and controlled by one's mind, Rainbow Dash." Twilight Sparkle revealed, "Bio-armor has the same synthetic muscle fibers in them, too, so they also increase the wearer's physical abilities." Volvox stated, "More increasing physical abilities?" Princess Skystar asked while rolling her eyes, "It's the way the humans are, they take no chances." Tom responded, "And those weapons on this bio-armor you all speak of?" Princess Luna questioned, "Humans are more likely to use long-range weapons than melee when using their bio-armors, they have five different types: bullets, lasers, beams, plasma shots, and missiles. Bullets are small solid objects that are shot into or through things, lasers are long streams of light that burn anything they touch, beams are medium size and in moderate length lights and can fly, plasma shots are short and small energy shots, and missiles are self propelled by jet engines and explode on impact." Dommiel explained, "And those blades on their wrists?" Spike asked, "High frequency vibration blades, strong and durable as tungsten and as sharp as obsidian and flint combined, they can cut through anything." Volvox responded, "Vibration blades? I've only seen vibration with power tools, but not weapons." Twilight Sparkle stated, "Well, they basically work the same way." Shuten-dōji responded, "I highly doubt they can cut through a dragon's armor and scales." Dragon Lord Torch said, "Yeah, our scales are fireproof, too." Princess Ember added, "I still wouldn't take the risk, they've been able to cut through my scales." Tom responded, "So, um, what material is this bio-armor of theirs made out of?" Applejack inquired, "We're not sure what the exact material is, but it's very strong and durable, the metal's waterproof and rustproof, too, it's proven to be resistant to blunt and sharp weapons, too, more to sharp weapons than blunt weapons." Dommiel responded, "And that shield they generated?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "Plasma shield, burns everything it touches, they can't use their long-range weapons when it's activated because bullets and missiles will get destroyed while lasers and other energy weapons will get absorbed." Lucifer answered, "How do they fire lasers out of their eyes like some of the characters in our books or comics?" Spike questioned, "Some special weapon built into their outfits' eyes, lasers shot from their eyes used to cause eyestrain, but the humans got around it by developing better equipment." Asmodeus replied, "Speaking of metal, it looked like those humans were partially made of metal under their outfits." King Thorax said, "They are, when the humans discovered time travel back in our world, they went centuries into the future where they ruled the world, the humans managed to find ways to make themselves half organic, half machine, they call themselves cyborgs." Dommiel explained, the world's natives had shocked expressions, "Half organic, half machine?! How did they do that?!" Rainbow Dash inquired, "I'm curious, too, even with our magic, achieving that would be extremely hard." Twilight Sparkle added, "They achieved it with science and technology, not magic." Leviathan said, "It seems theirs is much more advanced than we thought." Princess Luna stated, "I'm seeing signs of that, too, sister." Princess Celestia replied, "What about when their machine parts were destroyed and their organic parts grew back, how did that happen?" Rain Shine questioned, "Nanomachines." Tom revealed, "What do those do?" Grampa Gruff asked, "They increase the host's physical abilities even more, they also produce chemicals that act as painkillers, medicine, and can regrow body parts." Enenra replied, "More physical enhancing abilities?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Yup, we'll get to it soon." Volvox replied, "The next one has caught my attention the most, when they changed to bipedal versions of various animals, that looks like it was cast by magic." Twilight Sparkle deduced, "Yes, transforming into were-animals was one of the very first powers the humans discovered." Tom explained, "The humans use various were-animals but each one seems to be a different type, were-elephants for smashing stuff, were-armadillos for defense, were-cheetahs, were-sailfishes, and were-peregrine falcons for speed, were-owls, were-snakes, and were-octopuses for stealth, and were-sharks, were-hawks, and were-honey badgers for attack." Volvox stated, "Wow, they sure know which animals to use." Fluttershy remarked, "You know a thing or two about them?" Dommiel questioned, "Oh, yes, I run a sanctuary full of animals." Fluttershy replied, "Interesting, maybe you can provide us some useful information." Beelzebub suggested, "I'll try my best." Fluttershy responded, "Are we done yet?" Rarity inquired, "There's still a little more to cover." Volvox answered, "Is the were-animal thing the only magic they have?" Pinkie Pie asked, "No, as you all saw, the humans can also manipulate nature, that's magic in our world, they can also make their magic stronger with items, usually wands, runes, or charms, the humans have put the runes and charms in their own bodies with surgery, it is also why a lot of our magic and spells don't work on them." Dommiel explained, "What kind of magic do you all have?" Princess Celestia questioned, "Me, Barbatos, Gusion, Botis, Ipos, Raum, Vine, Vual, Balam, Orobas, Gremory, Flauros, and Seere have powers that involve either seeing or going into the past, future, or elsewhere in the present, we have been unable to use them on the humans, we believe they have a spell or enchanted items that are blocking our powers out." Vassago responded, "Wow, those are advanced spells in this world." Princess Cadance said, "One more thing about the were-animals, is that pure magic or is there science involved?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Pure magic, the humans have tried to be able to transform into were-animals using science, but it's proven to be a very complicated and messy process, so they stuck with magic." Tom replied, "Do humans have specific kind of magic?" Prince Rutherford asked, "The humans not only control elements and weathers of nature, but they also have white magic and black magic, black magic hurts people, white magic heals, they have mind control spells, too, and shapeshifting, their magic is also why I destroyed their bodies last night, they can reanimate corpses with necromancy." Volvox replied, the ponies exclaimed, "Necromancy?!" Rarity hollered, "I'm guessing it's not viewed highly in this world." Gremory deduced, "It is very taboo and outright illegal in some parts of this world." Princess Celestia replied, "Well, you'll have to get used to it, the humans have blood magic, too." Volvox stated, the ponies had horrified expressions, "Also dolls, they're able to curse or inflict pain on others with dolls that either look like their targets or have pictures of them on it." Dommiel added, "Dolls? That's a bit unusual." Pharynx said, "Don't have magic dolls in this world?" Tom asked, "I mean, we do, they are just not common." Princess Luna answered, "I see." Tom said, "Is that all of their magic?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "That covers pretty much everything." Volvox responded, "I first noticed some of you have magic when I saw telekinesis get used by you guys." Twilight Sparkle said, "Wait, telekinesis is a magic ability for you all?" Barbatos questioned, "Yeah, anytime us unicorns and kirins have lights on or around our horns, it means we're casting a magic spell." Tempest Shadow explained, "Oh, I see now, telekinesis is not a magic spell in our world." Dommiel stated, "What?" Pinkie Pie asked, "What is it then?" Applejack asked, "Psychic powers, so is mine, telekinesis comes from our brains, any move we use with our minds is a psychic power, telepathy is another psychic power used by the humans, they also have technopathy, that's controlling technology with one's mind, and you all didn't see it, but the humans have another psychic power called sightjacking, it is when they see through your eyes and see and hear everything you see and hear." Volvox explained, "What? What kind of power is that?" Shining Armor inquired, "It is what the humans use to gather intel, they can sightjack anyone, anywhere, anytime, but they can only sightjack one person at a time." Tom explained, "Sister, I believe we're going to need to create some counter-spells." Princess Luna said, "Indeed, if the humans use that on us, then countering it is essential." Princess Celestia replied, "Ah'm assumin' those circles that came out of their heads are psychic powers, too." Applejack stated, "Yes, those are psychic blasts, the humans have found ways to weaponize their own brainwaves." Stolas said, "Wow, I've never heard of something like that before." Starlight Glimmer remarked, "Okay, I think that's enough info. One thing I've noticed is that there were pink tendrils coming out of the humans." Twilight Sparkle stated, "That is caused by parasites in their bodies." Volvox replied, "Parasites?!" the world's natives exclaimed, "Yes, the humans have parasites in their bodies that also increase their physical abilities and allow them to survive lethal attacks and weapons, those are the passive abilities, when a parasite is commanded telepathically, the humans transform and their skins turn light pink and they have yellow eyes, the parasites mutate their entire bodies and they are granted chitin, claws, sharp teeth, wings, gills, and acidic spit, some have bladed tentacles as well." Tom explained, "Yak not like sound of parasite." Prince Rutherford commented, "I agree, not only does the sound of having a parasite in your body sound uncomfortable, but I also can't help but think it will take over your body." Twilight Sparkle added, "The parasites in the humans' bodies have been genetically engineered to be dormant unless commanded telepathically." Dommiel revealed, "Genetic engineering? That doesn't sound too good." Rainbow Dash commented, "How many more things are left to cover?" Princess Skystar asked, "One more, when the humans turned light blue and transparent." Tom responded, "Oh, that, it looked almost like they became ghosts or somethin'." Applejack deduced, "That's because they did." Tom replied, the world's natives exclaimed, "There is one more type of power the humans besides magic and psychic powers: spiritual powers, you all may not see it, but the souls of the dead are everywhere, spiritual powers lets one take control them and use any form of attack they please. When the humans become ghosts, they can possess people and control them, they retain their psychic powers, too, only spiritual energy stronger than their own can overpower and destroy them, don't use magic or technology, it's just going to phase through them." Tom explained, "But there must be some way for us." Rarity stated, "Yeah, ghosts ain't somethin' we see here, but we might have somethin'." Applejack added, "I think it'll be best if you all leave the ghosts to me." Discord suggested, "Well, hopefully, that will be the only attack." Princess Celestia remarked, "No, that's the only the first one here, every single human is telepathically connected to one another, more will come, those humans went easy on us, too, they're bound to be better prepared next time." Leviathan corrected, "So, are they just going to attack you guys?" King Thorax questioned, "No, now that the humans know you guys exist, your countries will be invaded, too, the humans are trying to take over all of existence." Dommiel explained, "Not the first time we dealt with that." Applejack said, "Yeah, our country may look peaceful and friendly and all, but we got invaded and attacked a lot." Rainbow Dash added, "Good, at least the people here have some experience." Lucifer remarked, "Thank you all for the information, we will now and go back and prepare accordingly." Princess Celestia stated, and they left, "You really think they will stand a chance against the humans, Volvox?" Dommiel asked, "We'll see." Volvox replied, and they began getting ready. The world's natives discussed what to do while Volvox and his subjects remained alert, another wormhole opened later in the evening and more humans came out. They flew around with telekinesis and shot their assault rifles, they guided every bullet telepathically and homed on their targets. The island's natives fell from the pain of the bullet wounds and artillery came in through the wormholes. They began firing and the artillery shells hit the island, Leviathan tried to absorb the humans' memories of using their weapons into his own head while Leraje tried to make the humans fight one another with his powers but they got shot back by force fields that deflected their powers, Buné tried to make new demons with the island's dead natives but the humans tried to telepathically control his creations. Malphas made forts and strongholds raise out of the ground and around the island and the humans began manipulating them with earth magic and telekinesis, they threw the pieces at them and the island's giants smashed them. Volvox, Satan, and Furcas summoned hellfire while Furfur summoned strong and violent winds and lightning and Vine summoned tsunamis, Amdusias summoned even more lightning. They destroyed the artillery and the humans then began using telekinesis to throw the artillery shells at them while also casting magic to create storms, tornadoes, tsunamis, downpours, blizzards, and volcano eruptions, they also tried to use mind control on the world's and island's natives. Dommiel used his shadow powers on the humans but they repelled him and the other demons with light magic, charms, runes, and religious symbols, other humans then used wands to make their magic causing natural disasters stronger. Tarasque saw humans near him and he breathed poison breath on them while his shell protected him from their homing bullets, he watched and saw the humans' were immune to his poison breath, he then ran forward and began biting into their outfits. Bunyip and Nuckelavee attacked the humans on the island's shores by biting their armors and robotic parts off, they spat them out and they tried to get a hold of the humans but could not, they heard rumbling and saw amphibious combat vehicles come onto the island's shores. The island's natives in the waters thrashed and smashed the vehicles and they screeched loudly when they got shot by torpedoes under the water. Volvox used telekinesis and pulled submarines out of the water, they fired torpedoes and missiles at him and he destroyed them with his telekinesis, he then moved the submarines into space and made them and their nuclear weapons explode. The humans flew back and used psychic powers and magic to attack since their guns were out of bullets, some also fired lasers out of their eyes and the creatures in the waters grabbed and smashed them while Leviathan floated through the air and bit down on them hard with his teeth. The humans stood back up and their nanomachines regenerated their bodies back to being completely organic, they activated their bio-armors and began flying around with wind magic, Furfur summoned strong winds to disorient them but the humans redirected his winds with their magic. The humans began firing their bullets, lasers, beams, plasma shots, and missiles out of their bio-armors and guided them telepathically while putting their shields up and they flew to the island's natives. Their shields burned, destroyed, and killed anything that touched it while everybody moved away from the humans, they cast telekinesis on the smaller beings to bring them into their shield and they screamed and screeched. Volvox stretched his three heads out and burrowed them into the ground, they moved under the humans and he forced his heads into them while enduring the pain from their shields, he bit their chests and ripped their shield generators off to disable them, Volvox then took his heads out of the ground and returned them to his body while he panted with smoke on them. The humans ran forward and the giant natives smashed them while the nandi bears slashed their helmets off with their claws and the incubi, succubi, and Hone-Onna kissed them and sucked their life forces out. The humans' upper-spines turned light pink and so did their entire bodies, they got covered in dark pink chitin and now had yellow eyes, sharp yellow teeth, big wings on their backs, gills on the sides of their necks, and black claws on their hands and feet replacing their fingers and toes, some also had bladed tendrils coming out of their backs. The humans began flying around and slashing people with their claws or stayed back and shot acidic spit out of their mouths, Shuten-dōji cast spells to empower the island's natives while the yowies and nandi bears slashed the chitin off, Hydra got its head slashed off and it grew back and now had three heads. The Nemean Lion slashed the chitin and pink flesh with its claws while the humans' claws and acid spit could not harm it, the Erymanthian Boar rammed the humans down and its tusks penetrated through their chitin and skin, and the onis smashed their chitin off with their clubs while the namahages cut their skin with their knives. The mu-onnas grabbed the humans and absorbed them into their bodies and crashed them, they also crushed the parasite in their spines and they reverted back to their human forms, the draugr realized where they were located and they smashed the chitin off of the upper-backs of the humans with their war hammers while Goatman ran around and cut the parasites between their shoulder blades with his axe and the humans reverted back to normal. The humans activated their were-animal forms and they began attacking the island's natives from above, below, behind, and their blind spots. The kitsunes, tanukis, and mujinas shapeshifted into various forms and began fighting the were-animals, they wrestled with them while Grootslang constricted and smashed the were-animals on the land. The humans' ghosts exited their bodies and began shooting spiritual blasts and psychic blasts while using magic to move and control their own corpses, they then began using earth magic and blood magic to form giant constructs that Volvox smashed by slamming his front legs down. Tom and Vine absorbed their souls into themselves and destroyed them while Buné tried to make demons with the humans' souls but they resisted and fought back, Tom and Vine absorbed and destroyed them. Volvox used his telekinesis to get the human bodies out of the water and shot hellfire blasts at them and incinerated them when he saw they were becoming reanimated, the humans' flesh separated itself from the bones and were getting reanimated, the Mongolian Death Worm shot corrosive venom out of its mouth and melted the human flesh in a few seconds, "Okay, I think that's all for now." Bael said, "So the humans can still cast the spell from their world into here, we have to get ready for their next invasion." Dommiel stated, "We won't survive much longer at this rate." a female wendigo said, "She's right, sooner or later, this world's natives will get invaded as well." a succubus added, "No doubt about that, the humans are probably gathering intel on this world right now through their invasions and sightjacking powers, it'll only be a matter of time before they get attacked." Volvox replied, and Marbas and Buer began healing the wounded with their powers while Malphas used his powers to create strongholds on the island and everybody slept. The next morning came and everything was peaceful until wormholes began opening in Equestria, Cloudsdale, the Crystal Empire, Saddle Arabia, the Dragon Lands, Griffonstone, Yakyakistan, the Changeling Hive, Mount Aris, Seaquestria, Kirin Grove, and Kludgetown. Planes firebombed Equestria, helicopters fired bullets and missiles in Cloudsdale, armored personnel carriers and tanks fired machine guns and missiles and shot smoke bombs in the Crystal Empire, desert patrol vehicles fired machine guns in Saddle Arabia, planes and helicopters dropped chemical agents and toxic waste in the Dragon Lands, planes firebombed Griffonstone while submarines shot missiles from their tops from under the country's water, humans armed with fully-automatic pistols and riding snowmobiles and tanks fired bullets and cannons in Yakyakistan, planes and helicopters firebombed and dropped chemical agents on the Changeling Hive, planes and helicopters fired bullets and missiles at Mount Aris while amphibious combat vehicles came onto its shores, battleships and submarines fired torpedoes, cannons, and missiles at Seaquestria while airplanes fired bullets and missiles and dropped firebombs and the battleships also dropped depth charges, airplanes dropped chemical agents on Kirin Grove while tanks fired cannons, and desert patrol vehicles fired machine guns while tanks fired cannons in Kludgetown while helicopters fired machine guns. The world's natives struggled to fight back while looking on in horror at how powerful the humans' vehicles were and how much damage they were doing, "Ponies! To arms!" Princess Luna ordered, and the royal guards and Wonderbolts flew to fight but the airplanes outmaneuvered them very easily and shot them down with their machine guns. Rainbow Dash performed the sonic rainboom and flew faster while the bullets and missiles homed on her, she made them hit the aircraft and they exploded while the humans used wind magic to fly around and chased her. They tried to hold her in place with telekinesis but she was too fast for them to focus on, so they fired their assault rifles and had telepathically guided the bullets, she continued to evade them and they fired more bullets and she still evaded them, she saw a helicopter and it leaned down with its spinning propellers coming forward, she flew down invaded it and the bullets continued chasing her. Twilight Sparkle, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadance, Shining Armor, and Star Swirl the Bearded cast spells together to take down the vehicles while Pinkie Pie and Discord used their abilities to confuse the humans and cause some of their vehicles to malfunction and crash, they tried to undo Discord's powers with their magic but could not. All of the unicorns began casting spells together, the Pegasi went to the other countries to help, and the earth ponies worked together to kick the vehicles over. The Pegasi entered the other countries and noticed the yaks have already knocked over all of the humans' vehicles invading their country, the changelings have transformed into bigger and stronger creatures to fight back, the dragons were flying and breathing fire against the planes and helicopters, the griffons went to other countries to attack the humans from above, the hippogriffs and seaponies worked together to dismantle the ships invading their country, the kirins changed to niriks to burn the humans' vehicles, and natives of Kludgetown did whatever they could. Tempest Shadow commanded the Storm Guards while she kicked obsidian orbs at the humans but became shocked when their force fields deflected them, the humans shot them back at her and Grubber with their telekinesis and they rolled to the sides to dodge them. The island's natives went to go help while using their physical attacks and magic if they had any to help, they destroyed the vehicles and the humans flew out of them while red lights beeped on them and they exploded, they used their telekinesis to throw their vehicles' ammunitions at the countries and Volvox shot hellfire blasts out of his mouths, eyes, balls of his front feet and tips of his front feet's toes and destroyed them while using his telekinesis to move the nuclear weapons into space and make them explode. The humans cast more magic and made them grow to be hundreds of feet tall while the world's natives backed away in shock, they slammed their hands' down and smashed the countries while Twilight Sparkle cast a spell to try to undo it but their force fields deflected it, Volvox, the Seven Princes of Hell, and the seventy two Demons of Solomon smashed them with their bodies and the humans then cast another spell to shrink. Everybody looked around and grunted and screamed while the humans punched and kicked them and broke their bones, "What is going on?!" Twilight Sparkle inquired, "The humans have shrunken themselves down to microscopic size, they're currently so small, they cannot be seen with our eyes." Marchosias explained, the world's natives had horrified expressions while the tenkas, onibis, kechibis, Wanyūdō and Rōjinbi spread fire everywhere, the humans' fireproof outfits protected them while they controlled the flames with their fire magic and spread it everywhere. Discord used his powers to undo the humans' magic while they looked on with bewilderment, the giants smashed the humans with their clubs and nanomachines began to regrow their bodies, they did and the giants smashed them again quickly and their ghosts appeared, Tom and Vine absorbed their destroyed their souls while Volvox burned the humans' bodies with his hellfire breaths. The world's natives looked at their world with horror while the unicorns cast a spell to douse the flames, "Y'all fought 'em daily on yer world?!" Apple Bloom inquired, the island's natives nodded, "How?! We've never had opponents this powerful before!" Scootaloo exclaimed, "I thought you all said you all fought off invaders before." Volvox remarked, "Yes, we have, but we have never dealt with enemies of this caliber before." Princess Celestia responded, "Pretty much all of our enemies were either physical threats or magic, never technological or spiritual." Sweetie Belle said, "You all never had an enemy that used technology?" Dommiel asked, "Well, the Storm King used a flying ship that Tempest Shadow controls, but other than that, not really." Twilight Sparkle replied, "So none of you are very knowledgeable about science and technology?" Belphegor questioned, "Ah mean, we have some understandin', we got carts we use for racin', ovens and stoves for cookin', and other everyday appliances, we just don't use 'em for warfare." Applejack explained, "The technology you guys have is beyond my level as well, and I'm the second most knowledgeable pony when it comes to science." Twilight Sparkle added, "Who's first?" Tom asked, "That would be me." Doctor Whooves answered, "I hate to admit this, but when it comes to things like magic and science this world, this country here is the most advanced in this world." Silverstream stated, "So this country here called Equestria is the most developed country in this world." Bael remarked, "Yeah, the other places are not so developed." Gallus commented, "Well, they're destroyed now." Dommiel remarked, "We can rebuild." Sandbar said, "No, it is too dangerous for you dragons, griffons, changelings, seaponies, and kirins to go back to your homes." Leviathan stated, the others exclaimed, "What do you mean they're too dangerous?" Autumn Blaze asked, "Those missiles those underwater vehicles fired from their tops are nuclear missiles, they spread radiation when they explode, same with their green liquids they dumped, that's toxic waste, it also emits radiation and causes you to develop cancer, and those chemicals the planes dropped are a group of herbicides called rainbow herbicides, exposure to those makes you develop cancer and immune system disorders." Lucifer explained, "Okay, so, what's cancer?" Ocellus questioned, "It is a disease that causes uncontrolled division of abnormal cells, it can occur in any part of the body, it can cause death and is incurable during our time, the humans in the future managed to find a cure but they refuse to share it." Volvox explained, the world's natives' eyes' widened, "And radiation?" Smolder asked, "High energy microscopic subatomic particles, exposure to too much of it can make one sick, mutate the body, or cause death." Volvox explained, "Cause death?! Yona don't wanna fight any more!" Yona exclaimed, "We don't have a choice, our world will be destroyed unless we find a way to stop the humans." Sandbar responded, "And we'll do it through the power of friendship." Twilight Sparkle stated, "Um, you all are already sticking together, I don't think that part's needed." Andromalius commented, "Oh, no, no, no, no, in our world, offering friendship to our enemies is how we make sure they stop being a threat." Shining Armor said, "That is not going to work with our enemies." Medusa stated, "Why not?" King Thorax asked, "The humans are seeking complete control and domination over all of existence, when they first started, they tried to kidnap, enslave, and brainwash us, but we and other creatures refused to be their slaves, so we resisted, the humans decided afterwards that they will do no more enslavement, brainwashing, and possession, and began trying to wipe us out entirely." Euryale explained, "The Storm King tried to enslave us and he failed." Rainbow Dash remarked, "But did he try to drive you all to extinction?" Stheno asked, "Uh... no, he never tried that, I served as his second-in-command for some time but I never saw him try to do that." Tempest Shadow responded, "He never did, I was his second-in-command for some time before Tempest Shadow here took it, he always cared about enslavement and remaking places in his name and vision, he never drove any type of creature to extinction." Grubber added, "The closest we ever faced to extinction was when three of our greatest enemies divided us ponies up again and made the Windigoes reappear and freeze Equestria." Twilight Sparkle remarked, "You actually have to have friendship to prevent an ice age?" Tom questioned, "Yes, without friendship, our defenses are useless, it brings the Windigoes and they freeze the entire land." Princess Cadance explained, "This emotion stuff sound strange to you, Volvox?" Dommiel asked, "Not really, I know emotions are complex, but I've never seen magic powered by it." Volvox answered, "What about the humans when they cast their magic?" Jorōgumo questioned, "Theirs is different, they have to suppress their emotions and focus to cast their spells." Lucifer replied, "Suppress your emotions? We power our magic by expressing emotions." Starlight Glimmer stated, "I assume you still have to focus." Beelzebub responded, "Yes, we do." Starlight Glimmer remarked, "Well, I suggest you all get ready, the humans are likely going to attack again soon." Volvox remarked, "How did they find out about what to use against each country?" Rainbow Dash asked, "If the humans are up to their typical intel gathering methods, then they're using telepathy and sightjacking, not only are all the humans' brains linked to each other, but they can see through one another's eyes' as well, same with their sightjacking, the ones still in our world saw through all of your eyes' to see what your countries looked like." Dommiel explained, the world's natives had horrified expressions, "You mean they actually used their powers to see and hear everything we see and hear?!" Rainbow Dash inquired, the island's natives nodded, "I can't believe I'm saying this, but I didn't sense anybody watching and hearing stuff through my eyes and ears, my eyes didn't suddenly feel heavier either." Twilight Sparkle said, "So they can see our lives and hear our every conversation without being detected? That's kind of scary." Sunset Shimmer remarked, "There must be a way to detect them, same with their psychic powers, I think we might be able to detect those as well, we'll have to go through our spell books and see if we have anything." Princess Celestia suggested, "If you want, I can try to make some kind of potion that could protect us." Mage Meadowbrook suggested, "Magic charms and runes would likely have better chances of protecting you all from the humans' psychic powers." Volvox responded, "Not a problem, we have lots of enchanted items in this world, making charms and runes are going to be easy." Twilight Sparkle said, "While I am not one who can cast magic, the effects of my potions in helping us can be gigantic." Zecora said, "We'll use any help we can get." Tom replied, "Good, we'll need help from you all, too, we have never dealt with enemies like this before, so we will need help against some of their powers and equipment." Princess Celestia commented, "Consider it done." Volvox responded, "Thank you, we'll start rebuilding now, you all should, too." Princess Celestia stated, and everybody walked away. The island's natives went back to their island and began watching the world, they heard wheezing and screaming in the Dragon Lands, Griffonstone, Seaquestria, and Kirin Grove, the natives mutated from the radiations from the nuclear weapons and toxic waste in their country, "I guess this world never dealt with radiation or toxic waste before." Dommiel deduced, "Well, let's watch, sooner or later, the rainbow herbicides are going to give them cancer if they don't leave their country." Tom remarked, and the dragons, girffons, seaponies, and kirins left their countries while coughing and wheezing, "Hey! A little help here?" Rainbow Dash requested, "They're contaminated by radiation, and it looks like they have gotten so much, they will infect anyone and anything they touch, you all have to isolate them completely." Volvox explained, the ponies' eyes' widened, "You mean... no contact of any kind?" Pinkie Pie asked, Volvox nodded, "They're trying to have us separated so we can't share friendship, I've never seen anything so cruel." Fluttershy lamented, "Guys, that's not their intentions, the humans are trying to make your lands destroyed and uninhabitable." Tom corrected, "Let me see them, I want to see if I can cure them." Marbas said, and he came forward. He began using his powers to try to heal the infected creatures and managed to remove some of their radiation and cancer, "Look at that, our powers seem to work on not just humans." Marbas remarked, "What do you mean not just humans?" Sunset Shimmer asked, "Me and the other seventy one demons of Solomon have powers that affect humans, but due to their anti-magic charms, runes, technological force fields, and the willpower to resist others, we cannot use our powers to their fullest extent on them." Marbas answered, "Oh." Sunset Shimmer said, "That reminds me, now that you all have mostly taken down the humans on your own, they're most likely going to start sending in their stronger fighters and weapons, that means they're going to start sending in the mutated humans." Tom explained, "Mutated as in?" Scootaloo asked, "Humans that underwent willful experimentation by being injected with chemicals and exposed to radiation, the humans tried to use them to empower themselves, but after seeing that the radiation and chemicals were random and unpredictable by giving each human different powers, they abandoned it completely and deemed it too risky." Volvox explained, "So it's a bit like alchemy and drinking potions?" Mistmane questioned, "No, the chemicals were injected into their bodies with tubes and syringes, usually into their backs." Dommiel answered, "What kind of powers did they get?" Rockhoof asked, "You name it, super speed, super strength, harder skin, faster regeneration, and toxic bodies, those were the most common, another reason why it was stopped is because not many survived being injected with the chemicals." Volvox responded, "Oh, no wonder why they stopped." Apple Bloom commented, "Um, if you all don't mind me asking, why were those herbicides dropped in the Dragon Lands? Herbicides are supposed to destroy plants, the Dragon Lands have none." Somnambula said, "To make the country's natives sick." Dommiel replied, "I wonder why they used it on us dragons for." Princess Ember remarked, "It's likely the humans got the info on your scales being fireproof, they probably decided not to risk wasting bullets and explosives on you guys to find out if your scales are bulletproof and explosiveproof as well, so they likely agreed it'd be better and more effective to give you all radiation poisoning and cancer instead." Marchosias explained, "Since you all call them rainbow herbicides, I'm assuming they're using seven different types of chemicals with each one being a color of the rainbow." Twilight Sparkle said, "Nope, six different colors, green, pink, purple, blue, white, and orange." Tom replied, "The humans are using all six at once, back then, they only used one color at a time." Marchosias added, "I'm wondering if magic shields can block them." Princess Cadance suggested, "It's worth a try, if it keeps their sickness inducing liquids and chemicals out, let's use them." Tempest Shadow responded, "Come on, everyone, let's continue rebuilding." Princess Celestia said, "My kind's going to need a new home." Autumn Blaze remarked, "I'm sure Equestria is going to provide us shelter." Rain Shine replied, "We will, you kirins are welcome to stay until those sicknesses in your home is gone." Princess Celestia stated, "That can take decades." Beelzebub remarked, "We may not look like it, but several of us are over a thousand years old." Flash Magnus said, "I guess several decades is short for you guys then." Asmodeus replied, "Actually, almost none of us here get to live for that long." Star Swirl the Bearded stated, "What happens to you all after death then?" Leviathan asked, "Well, some of our stories do mention ghosts, but we never saw one in person." Applejack replied, "Maybe they are real in this world after all." Valefor commented, "Well, come on, everyone, let's rebuild now." Princess Celestia said, and they did while the dragons, griffons, and kirins moved into Equestria while the seaponies changed to hippogriffs and lived in Mount Aris. The world's natives began to rebuild their homes while the dragons, griffons, seaponies, and kirins settled down in their new homes, the Equestrian ponies then began working on casting new spells and making new potions with Zecora helping them, everything remained peaceful while everybody remained on high alert. The night passed by peacefully while Princess Luna worked hard to make sure no one had nightmares, the day began peacefully and more wormholes appeared and closed with nothing happening. Everybody watched carefully and natural disasters of all kinds began happening all over the world, strong winds, heavy storms, downpours, earthquakes, and volcanoes erupted all over the world while Yakyakistan got heavy blizzards and Kludgetown got dust storms. Everybody looked on with confusion while the disasters continued, "What's causin' 'em?!" Applejack hollered, Twilight Sparkle cast a spell and she exclaimed when several force fields deflected her spell, "It's the humans! They're casting spells, one's making them invisible!" Twilight Sparkle explained, "Come on, unicorns, let's try our new force field deactivating spells." Princess Celestia said, and they cast it together, the humans' force fields became deactivated and they then made magic force fields appear around themselves but Twilight Sparkle cast a spell to disable them, she then cast a spell to make the humans visible. The disasters continued while the unicorns and kirins cast spells together to stop them, "Hey, Twilight, some of the humans are still invisible." Rainbow Dash reported, "What?" Twilight Sparkle exclaimed, she looked and saw outlines of invisible humans casting spells, "How? The spell I cast was supposed to counter the invisibility spell." Twilight Sparkle said, Ladon stretched his hundred heads out and bit off parts of the humans and spat them out, "Guys, a little help here, how are some of the humans still invisible?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Cloaking devices, the humans have found a way to achieve invisibility through science and technology, too." Dommiel answered, Twilight Sparkle's eyes widened while her jaw dropped, "Twilight, if they're like in the comic books I read back in my world, the cloaking devices are located somewhere on the humans' bodies." Sunset Shimmer explained, Dommiel disappeared into the shadows and reappeared in one human's shadow. He grabbed the human's shadow and the human cast a spell to make his shadow act and move on its own, the other humans then did the same thing and the shadows cast magic to make the natural disasters stronger. Discord used his powers to render the humans unable to use their shadows and then turned them into animals, "There, so much better." Discord remarked, the humans shapeshifed back to normal to their normal forms and began shooting their assault rifles at him. Their telepathically guided bullets homed on him and Discord laughed while he slithered through the air and avoided them easily, Rainbow Dash flew and tackled and kicked the humans while they were distracted and she flew away while laughing, she stopped and looked on with shock when the humans began multiplying. Rainbow Dash flew as fast as she could while the humans kept multiplying and kept up with her no matter how fast she went, the rocs, Stymphalian birds, and ittan-momens flew to attack the humans and went through some of them, "Wait a minute, some of them are illusions." Rainbow Dash said, and Star Swirl the Bearded cast a spell to undo them and Rainbow Dash flew away while some of the rocs phased through some of the remaining humans, "The humans must be using holograms, too." Volvox remarked, Starlight Glimmer channeled her anger and let out a big blast that obliterated the humans, their ghosts appeared and the humans began shooting out spiritual blasts and destroying the world with their brainwaves. Tom and Vine absorbed their souls and destroyed them, more wormholes opened and vehicles came out. One vehicle with many satellite dishes on it let out signals that made the disasters continue while airplanes dropped chemicals into the clouds to make the storms more violent, Dommiel made big shadows appear and they smashed all of the vehicles, telekinesis was cast on the pieces and the sharp shards began to fly, Twilight Sparkle cast a spell and made them disappear. Everybody looked at the world and saw it was more damaged than before, "What were those just now?" Twilight Sparkle inquired, "Weather manipulation vehicle, as for the planes, they were doing a process called cloud seeding, the chemicals they drop in changes the weather." Dommiel explained, "So they know how to manipulate the weather using science, too?" Rainbow Dash asked, the island's natives nodded, "Well, come on, everyone, let's see if we can undo them." Flash Magnus said, and the Pegasi flew. They began trying to undo the cloud seeding by filtering them through the weather factory while they heard more wormholes open, "What now?" Rainbow Dash exclaimed, and she looked out saw humans come out with a purple aura around them that made nearby plants wither and animals die while Fluttershy watched with horror. More humans came out and several of them began running with blurry trails and afterimages behind them while those who were bulkier than the others began picking up and throwing things everywhere, "So the humans have finally decided to send in their mutated ones." Tom remarked, the really fast running humans began to cast a spell to multiply themselves and another spell to make themselves invisible. Everybody grunted while the fast running humans hit everyone and the Pegasi flew up to look and see where they were going, they saw footprints in some environments, "They're too fast!" Spitfire exclaimed, "What do we do?" Vapor Trail asked, "Yuki-onnas, try to freeze them." Volvox ordered, and they flew while the unicorns cast spells to disable the humans' force fields, the oversized humans slammed their fists down while using earth magic to trigger an earthquake, the world trembled and everybody struggled to maintain their balances, the ground erupted open and the world's natives began to fall in and the humans used their earth magic to close the ground. The unicorns teleported everyone back onto the surface while the Pegasi, dragons, griffons, changelings, and hippogriffs flew and the unicorns and kirins floated up with their telekinesis. Tempest Shadow kicked an obsidian orb and it hit one oversized human, he began to turn into stone but he flexed his muscles and broke out of it, Tempest Shadow looked on speechless. The toxic humans flew around the world with wind magic and made plants wither away and animals die, the unicorns grabbed them with their telekinesis and they took their masks off, everybody looked on in stunned silence to see they had light gray skin with purple veins all over their faces. They shot radioactive toxic breaths out of their mouths in all directions and the world became contaminated, all plants died while everybody watched in horror. Foras tried to give the world's natives invincibility but the humans held up runes that repeled his power, Belphegor then tried to use his gravity powers but the fast humans kept running while the oversized humans managed to partially resist his powers, Asmodeus then used his powers to make the humans lust for power and to be the best, they managed to partially resist but still fight one another. Tom carried Catoblepas, Stheno, Euryale, and Medusa on his back and they looked down at the humans, the running humans began to turn to stone but they ran out of them, Tsurube-otoshi jumped from tree to tree and jumped down on one human and smashed her armor, everybody looked and saw she was covered in human skin colored scales and chitin. Onihitokuchi grabbed and tried to eat the oversized humans and scaled humans, he had trouble biting through their armor, chitin, and scales but managed to, he bit and ate seemingly regular humans but they regenerated much faster than usual. Volvox used his telekinesis to move Nuckelavee and Keukegen to Equestria and they grabbed and restrained the toxic humans, the tengus then flew to them and cut them apart with their swords. The alps ran to the regenerating humans and scaled humans and tried to overwhelm them through their numbers while Orthrus, Cerberus, Chimera, and Hydra tried eating them, the regenerating humans survived and the yowies and nandi bears began slashing them apart, the Mongolian Death Worm then shot acid onto them and they melted. Azhi Dahaka used its three heads to eat the toxic humans and the world's natives realized it was immune, the humans used their telekinesis to try to rip it apart and venomous snakes, spiders, scorpions, and lizards came out of its body, "No wonder why it's immune, its body itself is full of toxins and poisons." Fluttershy said, everybody then saw the running humans slide on the ground while the yuki-onnas froze it with their ice breaths, Volvox then used his telekinesis to remove their outfits and Thunderbird cast lightning on them to paralyze them, Phoenix then flapped his wings and burned them to ashes, the human ghosts then tried to attack but Tom and Vine quickly used their powers to gather them and destroyed them. Everybody looked at the withered plants and dead animals and Fluttershy cried, "Were those the mutated humans that got exposed to radiation and injected to chemicals that you guys mentioned?" Sunset Shimmer, the island's natives nodded, "I'm surprised they didn't change into those parasite forms or were-animals." Sunburst said, "That's because the radiation and chemicals mutated their genetic structure and made them unstable and incompatible, it also mutated their brains to make them unable to use certain types of magic." Volvox explained, "How do you all know all of this stuff?" Rainbow Dash questioned, "When time travel was discovered, I managed to stretch my necks out and put my heads through one, I saw all of the futuristic technology they had, the humans from the future also traveled through time and shared their information with other humans, some of the other creatures no longer with us listened to them and shared the information with us, and as some of you noticed, some of us here have answers to questions even though the humans have nullified their powers." Volvox explained, "That reminds me, what was that spell you all tried to cast on us?" Twilight Sparkle inquired, "I tried to grant you all invincibility, but alas, the humans have charms and runes to cancel it out." Foras answered, "That is alright, Foras, thank you for trying to help." Princess Celestia said, "Um, I know you all said time travel is involved, but I am finding these humans to have all of these magic powers, advanced science and technology, psychic powers, and spiritual powers all throughout history hard to believe." Fluttershy stated, "They didn't, during prehistory, ancient times, and Medieval Times, the humans had mostly magic and spiritual powers, during modern times and far into the future, they have become forgotten and the humans used advanced science and technology, the only one that has lasted throughout history was psychic powers, when humans started using time travel, they all shared the info with one another, so all of their powers and equipment are now in all of history." Tom explained, "I'm guessing you all are from throughout history, too." Rainbow Dash deduced, "Yup, me, Dommiel, the other demons, and Tom are from prehistory, the others are from different times of history." Volvox replied, "Come, yak and others must get ready for next invasion." Prince Rutherford said, the others agreed and they fortified their homes while Malphas and Sabnock used their powers to rebuild and fortify the world, "Volvox, I am sensing the humans are going to send drones next." Flauros reported, "Truth be told, it's surprising they haven't sent those yet." Volvox responded, "Maybe the amount of humans there are is getting low." one incubus deduced, "Unlikely, they're probably looking for another way to wipe out this world's natives and us since their other vehicles and the humans themselves have been unable to." Lucifer responded, "Plus, who knows, the humans are probably busy conquering other worlds, dimensions, and alternate universes if there are any." Belphegor added, "Well, this place could be considered an alternate realm or dimension, I haven't seen any signs of life in space or on another planet, no signs of alternate universes either." Volvox responded, "Then how do we explain that one unicorn that lives in the world with peaceful humans?" Stolas asked, "Maybe it's a different dimension that our dimension's humans never found." Paimon deduced, "Even so, the humans of our dimension must be stopped, if they make every native here and us extinct, that dimension is most likely next." Tom responded, Sunset Shimmer looked at them with discomfort, "Come on, everyone, we should prepare our home as well." Volvox said, and they went back and fortified it. The day passed and more wormholes opened in the afternoon, small vehicles flying with propellers and armed with bombs appeared, "They're going to drop bombs!" Glasya-Labolas hollered, and the unicorns and kirins cast a spell to make a shield appear over every country and the island. The drones dropped their bombs and huge explosions appeared everywhere, everybody became startled by the very loud noises and the kids screamed, "Focus, everyone, we have to work together." Princess Luna said, and they continued blocking the drones' bombs. Everybody exclaimed when the ground suddenly exploded, Volvox used his telekinesis and brought up unmanned underwater vehicles, they shot torpedoes at him and he used his telekinesis to send them into space and then shot hellfire blasts out of his eyes to make them explode. Unmanned vehicles armed with drills came out of the ground in every country and they began firing missiles at everybody, the kirins turned into niriks and they ran around, "Wait, don't do that!" Tom hollered, the niriks burned the unmanned land vehicles and all of their bullets and missiles set off and exploded, everybody screamed while Twilight Sparkle quickly put up a shield to block everybody from the explosions and bullets, Discord used his powers to send the vehicles elsewhere. The unmanned underwater vehicles then had wings come out of their sides while its top flipped over and it converted into an aircraft, "What the?" Sandbar asked, "How did they build stuff like that?" Rainbow Dash exclaimed, the unmanned underwater vehicles flew around and now had a machine gun turret on its bottom, it began firing strong bullets that almost broke through the magic shield, the unicorns exclaimed while the force of the bullets almost knocked them down. Thunderbird summoned lightning to make the unmanned vehicles malfunction but the humans used technopathy to make them continue working, the unmanned vehicles then began firebombing the magic shield, "Let me through." Dragon Lord Torch said, and the unicorns put the shield down and he flew out. Dragon Lord Torch flying around and shot his fire breath at the unmanned vehicles, they exploded and bullets flew everywhere, Volvox grabbed them with his telekinesis and laid them down. The magic shield was put down while everybody sighed with relief, "Where did you put those first vehicles, Discord?" Fluttershy asked, Discord made them appear and they were stuck in pink bubblegum, the Mongolian Death Worm shot lightning out its mouth and destroyed them, "How did the humans make those?" Rainbow Dash asked, "We don't know, all we know is that the humans have drones and unmanned vehicles." Dommiel replied, "But you all didn't say they can convert from sailing in the water to flying on the land." Rarity reminded, "Don't forget the ones here, you all didn't say the ones that burrow under the ground can also work on the surface." Twilight Sparkle added, "Thought you all would've known since I've seen regular ships and airships in this world." Volvox answered, "My airship doesn't move in the water." Tempest Shadow responded, "Our navy's ships don't fly either." General Seaspray added, "Anything else you all wanna know?" Barbatos asked, "No, that's alright, come on, everyone, let's rest." Princess Celestia stated, wormholes opened everywhere, "Oh, what is it now?" Rarity exclaimed, nothing came out while everybody kept their guards up. Everybody watched but nothing came out, everybody began gagging and wheezing shortly afterwards, "What... is... this?" Ocellus asked weakly, "It's... the... humans,... they're.... release... ing... some... kind... of... gas." Paimon answered weakly, everybody began to melt while the yuki-onnas shot ice breath out to freeze the gas, the unicorns cast a freezing spell and the gas that came into the wormholes froze, the humans shot fire and lava through the wormholes to melt the ice and make the gas float again. The gas changed to a pale gray liquid. Everybody in the liquid screamed while it melted their skin and the humans added more into the world, Twilight Sparkle quickly put the liquid in the air and Starlight Glimmer cast a spell to close the wormholes, they began reopening and Princess Celestia cast a spell to seal them, "That was scary." Fluttershy muttered, "Yeah, what is this stuff anyway?" Pinkie Pie asked, "Would you all happen to know?" Princess Luna asked, "No, we've never seen this before, it must be a weapon the humans developed recently." Aim responded, "Well, let's check its contents together." Twilight Sparkle said, and she made her science equipment appear. She examined its contents and used her magic to sense it, Samigina, Paimon, Morax, Naberius, Gaap, Phenex, Bifrons, Crocell, Ose, Amy, Vapula, and Dantalion went forward and used their knowledge in science to help her. They examined the liquid carefully and Twilight Sparkle had a shocked expression, "There are numerous unidentified compounds in this." Twilight Sparkle reported, Mage Meadowbrook and Zecora walked to her and helped her examine it, "This liquid is strange, of my knowledge, it is out of my range." Zecora commented, "So far, I'm seeing herbs, metals, mostly gold, and poisonous plants, basic alchemy ingredients." Mage Meadowbrook said, "No wonder why, you all only know the alchemy parts, you all are lacking knowledge in the chemistry part." Paimon said, "What have you guys found?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Cyanide, mercury, arsenic, boron, phosphorus, chlorine, iodine, nickel, copper, zinc, lead, antimony, thallium, cadmium, molybdenum, manganese, and iron, all of these are toxic chemical elements." Gaap responded, "So they used alchemy and chemistry together to make a poisonous and dangerous compound." Naberius said, "I don't think we can create an antidote for this." Bifrons stated, "Probably not, we'll have to create something that can counter and cancel out every ingredient in it." Phenex answered, "Can we destroy it?" Volvox asked, "Not sure, but it's worth a try." Crocell replied, "Come on, guys, let's try to separate every ingredient and see if the solid objects revert back." Twilight Sparkle suggested, and the unicorns, alicorns, changelings, kirins, and Volvox tried. The liquid did not come apart and only divided into different sections, "The ingredients are bonded too tightly to separate them." Crocell said, "Then we have to destroy it." Ose replied, Discord made a big towel appear and it absorbed the liquid, Phoenix then flapped his wings to set it on fire and destroyed it, the others waited and nothing happened, everybody sighed with relief and Marbas began healing others with his powers while the unicorns and kirins cast healing spells and everybody rested. Volvox remained on high alert while everyone else rested, "Um, excuse me, Volvox." Fluttershy said, he looked down and saw her, "I brought some food for your animals here." Fluttershy reported, and the harpies, skunk apes, kitsunes, tanukis, mujinas, kappas, kamaitachis, tsuchigumos, onikumas, satoris, bakenekoes, nekomatas, rocs, Stymphalian birds, mngwas, nandi bears, yowies, alps, manticores, wendigos, Orthrus, Cerberus, Chimera, Nemean Lion, Erymanthian Boar, Hydra, Azhi Dahaka, the Lambton Worm, the Mongolian Death Worm, Bunyip, the Caucasian Eagle, Bigfoot, Yeti, Hibagon, Chupacabra, Catoblepas, Tarasque, Jersey Devil, Cockatrice, Basilisk, Ōmukade, the Hound of Baskervilles, Lou Carcolh, Popobawa, and Grootslang went to her. She handed them fruits, vegetables, grains, and fish, some of them ate a little while others did not, Fluttershy also noticed Hydra now had five heads, "I also did some research on those were-animals you all fight as enemies." Fluttershy reported, "Go ahead and share." Dommiel responded, "I'll start with the elephant, elephants are scared of bees, the inside of their trunks are made of soft tissue and they don't like being stung there, they're scared of mice, too, they don't like them going in their trunks." Fluttershy stated, "That won't help in this case, the humans still retain their psychic powers when transformed, they can just move them and take them out of their trunks with telekinesis." Volvox stated, "Oh, I'll go onto the next one then: the armadillo. Armadillos have weak immune systems, they get sick quite easily, they also have poor eyesight and their bellies are unarmored, and only one type of armadillo can roll up into a ball, I don't think your enemies chose that one for their transformation." Fluttershy said, "Interesting, might be useful, go on." Tom stated, "Next is the cheetah, they are weaker than other big cats, they can't run for very long either, but females are usually faster than males, their bite strength is pretty weak, too, and their claws are not sharp." Fluttershy remarked, "That explains a lot, most of the were-cheetahs we encounter are females." Beelzebub stated, "Next is the sailfish, I couldn't find much info on them, all I know is they lose their balance if their big fin is removed and I think they don't like cold weather." Fluttershy responded, "Well, better than nothing, next." Belphegor said, "Okay, peregrine falcons have weak and hollow bones that break easily, they also can't fly if their prey is too heavy to carry." Fluttershy reported, "Considering these are humans changing to were-animals, it's likely their bones have the strength and durability of human bones instead, and they are very strong, so it's likely they can survive stuff peregrine falcons can't." Volvox stated, "Oh, well, next are owls, they have sensitive hearing, their eyes are sensitive to light, too." Fluttershy stated, "Perhaps some fire can mess with the were-owls." Satan suggested, the island's natives murmured in agreement, "Snakes really dislike cold weather." Fluttershy said, "It's settled then, my fellow yuki-onnas, you know what to do." one yuki-onna stated, "I couldn't find much on octopuses, but their bodies are soft, so maybe they can be cut." Fluttershy deduced, "Us giant creatures will probably just squash them." Volvox stated, "Sharks are sensitive in their eyes and gills, most of them can't tolerate fresh water either." Fluttershy said, "Sea creatures, you know what to do." Volvox stated, "Hawks have sensitive hearing, I couldn't find anything else though." Fluttershy remarked, "And the last one?" Dommiel asked, "Honey badgers are weak in the back of their necks, but that's still very risky, I cannot begin to describe how powerful honey badgers are." Fluttershy responded, "I see, thank you for your info, we'll see if it helps." Volvox stated, and she smiled, the island's natives that went to her finished eating and she flew away. The day and night passed by with no attacks and the next day came, everybody lived peacefully while Trixie and Starlight Glimmer put on a show to cheer the children up, everybody except the island's natives gathered around and watched while they noticed each creature having different reactions. The unicorns, Pegasi, earth ponies, alicorns, and Saddle Arabian ponies cheered, the dragons were unimpressed, the griffons were bored, the changelings were excited, the yaks were confused, the hippogriffs and seaponies were interested, and the kirins were happy. Trixie and Starlight Glimmer continued performing while the island's natives watched and were unimpressed, wormholes opened above the audience and planes flew out and firebombed them. Twilight Sparkle quickly put up a shield to block them while everybody screamed, more wormholes opened and humans, mutated humans, tanks, armored personnel carriers, desert patrol vehicles, snowmobiles. amphibious combat vehicles, gunboats, battleships, submarines, more planes, helicopters, drones, unmanned land vehicles, unmanned underwater vehicles, weather manipulating devices, and the undetectable gas came into the world. The humans began firing their telepathically guided bullets while some also cast magic and used charms, runes, and wands to enhance them, they then began using the spell to multiply themselves while also casting illusions and using holograms. The world began to get destroyed while the unicorns, alicorns, and kirins put up shields to block the falling bombs, toxic waste, rainbow herbicides, and bullets from above, "It's not gonna hold long!" Rarity stated, they then cast a spell to disable the humans' force fields, "Come on, let's use all of our magic combined!" Twilight Sparkle stated, and the Tree of Harmony grew. Volvox and his subjects tried to fight back the humans invading their island and they shrinked down to microscopic size, they began attacking and staggering them while Volvox and his subjects could not find them, the yuki-onnas breathed ice breath everywhere and froze the island, they continued getting attacked by the microscopic humans. Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, Spike, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, Trixie, Discord, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadance, Shining Armor, Flurry Heart, Sunburst, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, Tempest Shadow, King Thorax, Sandbar, Gallus, Ocellus, Smolder, Yona, Silverstream, Star Swirl the Bearded, Flash Magnus, Mage Meadowbrook, Mistmane, Rockhoof, Somnambula, and Stygian floated up while the Tree of Harmony powered them and gave them rainbow power while also giving Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Applejack jewels while Twilight Sparkle got a crown. The island's natives went to them and Volvox had orange light in his three mouths, six eyes, balls of his front feet, and tips of his front feet's toes, and red electricity on his tail's tip, Dommiel had black shadows on his hands and eyes, Tom had light blue light in his mouth, eyes, balls of his front feet, front feet's toes, and tail, Lucifer had white light on his hands, Satan had fire on his hands, Aim made his torch's fire become strong, Foras made the world's and island's natives invincible, Furfur made lightning appear in his mouth, Vine had water appear in his mouth, his horse's mouth, and the mouth of the serpent he was holding in his right hand, Furcas had fire appear on his spear's tip, Amdusias made a black cloud filled with wind, water, and lightning appear in his trumpet, Raijū and Nue got ready to summon lightning, Shuten-dōji got ready to fire a black blast from his hands, Boogeyman got ready to shoot dark and hellfire magic, Cockatrice, Basilisk, Catoblepas, Stheno, Euryale, and Medusa looked at the humans and Basilisk tried to kill them with its gaze while the others tried to petrify them, the tengus made wind appear in their hands, the kitsunes, tanukis, mujinas, bakenekoes, and nekomatas shapeshifted into various elementals, the yuki-onnas got ready to breathe ice, the vampires got ready to shoot blood streams, the elves and fairies got ready to shoot blasts of various elements, the mummies and skeletons got ready to shoot black blasts, and the satyrs powered up their magic by playing music. The humans saw what they were doing and they grew back to regular size while using their magic to clone themselves, wormholes opened and more humans and new types of weapons that fired plasma beams came out. The humans got ready to shoot fire, water, earth, wind, lightning, ice, rock, stone, lava, light, and dark magic, plasma beams, brainwave blasts, and spiritual energy blasts. The two sides attacked two big beams flew out, the humans' beam was light blue while the world's and island's natives' were various colors, they collided with one another and the magic parts of the beams canceled out one another while the technological, psychic, and spiritual parts of the humans' blasts came forward. Twilight Sparkle exclaimed loudly while Shining Armor quickly put up a shield and blocked the blast, the explosion pushed the world's natives away, the impact severed two of Hydra's heads and he now had nine heads. The humans shrunk down to microsopic size and the vehicles continued attacking, Volvox made the yellow seven pointed star-like organic matters on his spine come off and they bounced around and cut and destroyed anything they touched, "We won't last long at this rate, we have to open a portal to their world and to the past if we want to stop them!" Doctor Whooves hollered, "Go ahead and start, lad, we'll hold 'em off." Rockhoof replied, "What is that twinkle in the sky there?" Fluttershy asked, everybody looked up and saw it, Volvox looked and saw it was an atomic bomb, he quickly used his telekinesis to hold it up high in the sky and shot hellfire from his center mouth and it let out a huge explosion. The world's natives exclaimed in horror at seeing the huge explosion, "What was that?!" Princess Ember inquired, "Atomic bomb, it's one of the humans' strongest weapons, it spreads radiation, too, if they're using that, then it means they're starting to pull out their strongest weapons, and they're tired of fighting in this world." Volvox explained, "Oh-ho-ho-ho, I still got a lot of tricks up my sleeve for them." Discord replied, "*gasp* Is that another one?!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed, everybody looked at the twinkle in the sky and they saw it was a big rod instead, it hit the force field and the unicorns, alicorns, and kirins screamed while its explosion and impact made them fly back, "First, atomic bomb, now, kinetic bombardment." one male ogre commented, "The humans must've opened a wormhole high up in the sky or in space." Tom deduced, "Sunset Shimmer, I hate to say this, but Doctor Whooves is right, we won't live much longer unless we do something, we need you to touch one human and let us see where their world is located." Twilight Sparkle said, "That won't be necessary, we still have the wormhole device we came here with." Beelzebub responded, Volvox got it with his telekinesis but they saw it was destroyed, "Never mind, we'll need to find another way." Beelzebub said, Sunset Shimmer teleported around while the humans moved around at fast speeds and she growled while unable to touch a human, she exclaimed when they attacked her and knocked her around, Discord made ice appear to freeze the humans but their ghosts appeared and began attacking. Sunset Shimmer touched one block of ice and tried to get a human, "Hurry, Sunset, there's another twinkle in the sky." Rainbow Dash said, Star Swirl the Bearded cast a spell to bring one human back to normal size, Sunset Shimmer touched his hand and had visions. Sunset Shimmer saw the human was from a very highly technological and industrial environment with robots, machines, and unmanned vehicles everywhere, there were interfaces that listed every time of history and locations of other worlds with Equestria's world and her world being listed. Her vision changed and she saw the coordinates of the worlds and theirs, she exclaimed when she felt millions of interconnected minds in her brain and overwhelm her with thousands more being created per second, she screamed and got shot off of the human. Sunset Shimmer got shot onto the ground and a stream of smoke came out of her forehead, "Sunset, you okay?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "Yeah, I saw the coordinates to their world." Sunset Shimmer replied, "We watched your vision with our magic, so we saw it, too, we also felt millions of minds connected to us, too, and they all appeared in the same place, the humans must be cloning themselves somewhere." Twilight Sparkle deduced, a bright white light appeared came down from the sky and hit the shield, the explosion and impact made everybody fly back, "So the humans are using satellite lasers, too." Belphegor commented, "Is that their strongest weapon?" Applejack questioned, "Second strongest." Enenra answered, "What?! There's something even stronger?!" Rarity exclaimed, "Unfortunately, yes." Dommiel responded, "Come on, let's start setting up the route to their world so they can be stopped." Doctor Whooves said, and he got his technology while Twilight Sparkle got the magic mirror out of her castle. Everybody tried to hold off the humans while they worked together to open a path to the island's natives' world, the mirror activated and Sunset Shimmer gasped when she saw her world has been taken over by the humans from the island's natives' world, "Where are my friends?!" Sunset Shimmer exclaimed, "If we can go back to the humans' origins of existence and change the minds of the first ones that ever came to be, the damage might be undone and they might come back." Doctor Whooves stated, "No, they have to be driven to extinction, I was there at the beginning when they started conquering, they attacked suddenly with no warning, those who tried to make peace with them or co-exist with them were killed." Volvox responded, "Did anyone else witness that?" Princess Celestia asked, all of the demons and Tom nodded, a wormhole opened right above the shield and a big asteroid came out and hit the shield at point-blank range. The unicorns, alicorns, and kirins screamed while the asteroid's impact sent them flying and made them lose their concentration, the shield went down and the humans then opened more wormholes in the sky, asteroids fell everywhere on the world and the world's natives looked on in horror at how much damage it did, "Your world's humans have weaponized meteors?!" Shining Armor inquired, "Asteroids, and yes, but they aren't ordinary asteroids, they're atomic asteroids, so they spread radiation like regular atomic bombs, which can cause sicknesses and mutations, they're also the humans' strongest weapon." Dommiel explained, "Come on, we have to go to their world and stop them!" Doctor Whooves said, and he began tampering with the mirror by using his machines to set the coordinates to the island's natives' world while Starlight Glimmer used her magic to go move time throughout history, "How far back in time do I have to go?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "Four billion five hundred forty three million years." Flauros responded, and she began using her magic to go back in time, "Wait, Flauros, humans didn't exist yet at that time, is something wrong?" Volvox questioned, "When the humans discovered time travel, the ones from the future we are dealing with now traveled all the way back to when Earth was created and are now the top species of the entire planet." Flauros explained, Doctor Whooves used his machines and Discord used his powers to help Starlight Glimmer go farther back in time. Wormholes opened and the poisonous gas came in and everybody coughed, "It's ready!" Starlight Glimmer announced, she exclaimed when humans on the other side of the mirror fired assault rifles at her, they then began entering the world with the mirror, Volvox squashed them while Dommiel used his shadow powers to go into the humans' shadow and snapped their necks, their nanomachines healed them, "Go! Now! Twilight, take your friends, you all have to stop them!" Princess Celestia hollered, "But Princess Celestia!" Twilight Sparkle exclaimed, "We'll try to hold them off, you, your friends, the six students, Spike, Tempest Shadow, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, Discord, Doctor Whooves, and Trixie go!" Princess Luna responded, "I'll go too so I can help." Volvox said, "So will I, Volvox and I got subjects to rescue." Dommiel added, "I'll go, too, you all don't have the powers to fight spiritual powers." Tom said, "I'll come as well since I can set any forts and bases they have ablaze on a whim." Aim stated, "The rest of you who want to come, come now." Volvox announced, and Marchosias, Boogeyman, Goatman, Grootslang, Stheno, Euryale, and Medusa went to him. Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, Spike, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, Trixie, Tempest Shadow, Grubber, Doctor Whooves, Sandbar, Gallus, Ocellus, Yona, Smolder, Silverstream, and Discord went into the mirror and everybody else teleported Volvox, Dommiel, Tom, Aim, Marchosias, Boogeyman, Goatman, Grootslang, Stheno, Euryale, and Medusa onto the other side, "Go, good luck, all of you." Princess Celestia said, and the world's natives watched with horror as they saw atomic bombs, kinetic bombardment rods, satellite lasers, and atomic asteroids bombard their world and the portal closed. Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, Spike, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, Trixie, Sandbar, Gallus, Ocellus, Yona, Smolder, and Silverstream fell to their knees' and cried while Rainbow Dash and Applejack just looked down, "We have to get moving now." Volvox reminded, "But our home just got destroyed, and our loved ones are gone." Twilight Sparkle said tearfully, "If we can stop the humans, we can bring them back since their destruction won't happen." Tom stated, "Can you all just... give us time to be alone?" Rarity requested, "We don't have time to be sad, our enemies will find us soon if we don't move." Tempest Shadow reprimanded, "They already have." Grubber responded, everybody looked back and saw the humans and several flying drones coming, "What... are... those?" Silverstream asked, everybody saw humanoid robots with no lower-bodies and rotary guns in place of hands. The robots began firing their rotary guns and the bullets homed on them, Tempest Shadow did a burst of energy with her broken horn that destroyed the bullets, the robots continued firing while their chests opened and fired missiles and red lasers came out of their heads. Volvox slammed his front legs down and destroyed the robots while Twilight Sparkle cast a spell to disable the humans' force fields, the humans shrunk to microscopic size while also turning invisible and multiplying, "I wanna try something." Ocellus stated, and she shapeshifted into a very small version of herself that could not be seen. She flew down and she screamed when the telepathically guided bullets flew to her, she changed to an armadillo but the bullets pierced her scales easily, she screamed loudly and Smolder breathed fire, the humans' outfits protected them and Discord tried to change the humans' outfits but the charms and runes in their bodies blocked his powers, "Drat, their runes and charms block out my powers as well." Discord commented, "Then maybe you should try manipulating the environment." Trixie suggested, "Right, let's see here." Discord said, and he changed the robots and drones to a bunch of candies while he made the humans' guns wet and malfunction, so they made them fire with their psychic powers, Discord then changed them to pez dispensers that fired whipped cream, he then made the forts break apart and sing while flying around, Aim rolled his eyes and used his powers to set all of the strongholds and fortresses on fire. Twilight Sparkle and her friends watched with shock at seeing the place burn while the humans used their own fire magic to control the flames and water and ice magic to put them out, they shot them at the others and Twilight Sparkle quickly cast a spell to freeze the entire place, the humans' ghosts appeared and Tom absorbed and destroyed them. Volvox smashed the robots and drones with his front legs while Dommiel made black tendrils appear and tore them apart and Starlight Glimmer cast a spell to make the shards disappear, "So, this is where you guys are from?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "Yes, but our world looked nothing like this at this time when I was created." Volvox responded, "The humans more than likely terraformed the Earth with their magic and technology, I'm hoping taking out the humans here will undo their activities in other worlds." Dommiel deduced, "That's one thing Ah've been wonderin' about, Ah thought them humans were tryin' to take over our world so they can harvest its materials and resources." Applejack said, "They'll probably do that later, right now, their goal is wipe out every species until they're the only one left and then reshape all worlds in their visions." Tom responded, "Well, come on, everybody, we've got more than just our world to save this time, all of existence is at risk." Twilight Sparkle said, and they went forward. Everybody walked forward and red lasers activated, they then grunted when they felt themselves getting attacked, they did not see anything and Twilight Sparkle cast a spell to try to make the people visible but nothing appeared, "Freeze them." Tom ordered, and Twilight Sparkle did, and Twilight Sparkle did, ghosts appeared and Tom and Vine absorbed and destroyed them. Volvox shot his hellfire blasts at the ice to melt them and then looked back and shot hellfire at the last area, "What are you doing, Volvox?" Rarity asked, "Destroying the human bodies so the others don't use them for necromancy or cloning." Volvox responded, they heard aircraft and saw new ones coming. They fired fully-automatic lasers that destroyed the ground, Tom flapped his wings and created strong gusts of wind to destroy them, the humans flew out of the destroyed aircrafts and used telekinesis to put the pieces on themselves as armor. The aircraft's lasers continued firing and one weapon a few humans put on their chests let out soundwaves that destroyed things, Starlight Glimmer put up a shield while Volvox shoved them down onto the ground, Doctor Whooves ran forward and looked at the technology and saw it was too advanced for him, so he bit into the wires and parts and disabled them. The humans used their psychic powers to make them work while the unicorns except Tempest Shadow disabled their force fields, Stheno, Euryale, and Medusa stared at them but charms and runes in the humans' bodies deflected their powers. Sunset Shimmer shot fire out of her horn while Tempest Shadow did a burst of magic, they did little damage to the humans' armor and Grubber tried to get under their armor but they held him with telekinesis and got ready to kill him. Yona screamed while charging and the humans held her up with telekinesis, Boogeyman changed into a blob of tendrils and he wrapped around the humans to restrain them, mouths then grew and began biting them, "Is he eating them?!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed, Boogeyman changed back to normal and only skeletons remained, they began to become reanimated and Tempest Shadow used a burst of energy from her horn to destroy the bones, they began to fix and Volvox disintegrated them with his hellfire while Tom absorbed their souls and destroyed them. Gallus, Ocellus, Smolder, and Silverstream flew to the lasers and looked at it, "I'm not seeing an off switch." Gallus reported, Goatman ran to the lasers and began cutting into the walls generating them with his axe, the lasers went down but reactivated, Applejack ran forward and kicked one wall and it flew away, the lasers went down and everybody continued forward. Everybody walked forward while Marchosias tried to look into the future, "Do you see anything, Marchosias?" Dommiel asked, "It's blurry, but I am seeing signs the next humans up ahead have already transformed into were-animals and parasites." Marchosias responded, "Already transformed and waiting for us? That's unusual." Volvox remarked, "I believe it is because the humans up ahead are soulless clones, they were killed and their souls were destroyed, but other humans managed to recover their bodies and clone them, so they're brainless and mind controlled by others." Marchosias explained, "Still, it is strange they don't have the usual gear and nanomachines if what Marchosias says is true." Aim said, "It's possible they were already in parasite or were-animal form when they were killed and were cloned that way." Tom deduced, "Wait, there's more traps up ahead." Volvox said, everybody looked and saw robotic snakes tied around metal poles, "Are those snakes?" Fluttershy questioned, "Robotic ones, stay back, they have long-range attacks." Dommiel answered, and the robotic snakes began shooting out a yellow-green stream from their mouths. The streams touched the ground and melted it, everybody backed away while the robotic snakes then began shooting out fire and a clear liquid as well, Volvox shot hellfire blasts at them but they were unharmed, Marchosias shot fire out of his mouth but it had no effect. Smolder and Spike looked at the robotic snakes and saw them still shooting the fire and two liquids out, "I have an idea, maybe I can fly and distract them while you all find a way to take them down." Spike suggested, "I was thinking the same thing, we make them focus on us, and you guys try to disable them." Smolder added, "Alright then, you two go on, I'll fly and disable them." Rainbow Dash stated, and Spike and Smolder flew. The robotic snakes shot their streams at them and their scales protected them, they flew up while all of the robotic snakes focused on them, Rainbow Dash flew extremely fast and she punched and broke each one, she came back with red bumps on her front hoofs, "Ow, those things are hard, my hoofs are numb." Rainbow Dash said, "Rainbow Dash!" Rarity exclaimed while pointing, she looked back and saw the two liquids leak out and begin melting the ground, the humans then used their technopathy to make them work again, "Dommiel, I think your shadow powers will be best for this." Aim remarked, and Dommiel made black tendrils come out to destroy the robotic snakes even more, they kept working and Discord used his magic to change their streams to silly string. Doctor Whooves trotted to one and tried to take it apart, he could not and punched holes into it, red lights appeared on them and they beeped, Doctor Whooves sprinted away and they exploded, "Great wickering stallions! Their technology has a self-destruct mechanism, I hope our way back isn't rigged." Doctor Whooves remarked, "We'll disable it if it is." Twilight Sparkle replied, "So, uh, those things shot fire, what were the other two?" Silverstream asked, "Acid and venom." Marchosias responded, "Wow, that doesn't sound good." Sandbar commented, "Come on, we're getting close to where the first human came into existence, the humans' main base is there." Marchosias said, and he led everybody. Everybody went forward and saw the parasite humans, were-elephants, were-armadillos, were-cheetahs, were-peregrine falcons, were-owls, were-snakes, were-hawks, were-honey badgers, and mutated humans waiting for them up ahead, they also saw tanks, armored personnel carriers, desert patrol vehicles, planes, helicopters, drones, robots, and unmanned vehicles, "I'm not sensing a soul in them." Tom said, "Can I sit this one out?" Fluttershy questioned, "We need all of the help and teamwork we can get." Stheno reminded, "I really don't want to hurt the animals." Fluttershy pleaded, "They're not animals, they're humans transformed into were-animals and are telepathically controlled by other humans, they will kill you without hesitation nor regret if you don't fight back." Volvox stated, "I still can't bring myself to hurt them." Fluttershy said, "Keep her guarded, all of you." Volvox ordered, "Don't worry, we will." Twilight Sparkle responded, and they went forward. The were-cheetahs, were-snakes, and were-badgers moved forward first and began attacking, Boogeyman teleported around and punched the were-honey badgers in the back of their necks and they fell over, Starlight Glimmer cast ice magic and the were-snakes stopped moving, Marchosias gripped the were-cheetahs with his teeth and threw them away, "Looks like the advice we got from Fluttershy works to an extent after all." Dommiel commented, "Something's not right." Volvox responded, they heard vehicles and saw the remaining were-animals driving the vehicles forward, they fired bullets, the armored personnel carriers opened and fifteen were-honey badgers charged out of them. Dommiel made tendrils come out of their shadows to restrain them and Tempest Shadow did a burst of magic from her horn but force fields deflected her powers, "Wha?! How?!" Grubber inquired, "Humans must've gave them force fields and nanomachines after they were cloned." Tom responded, he and Volvox then proceeded to slam their legs down to squash them and smash the vehicles, "No!" Twilight Sparkle exclaimed, "What?" Volvox asked, "How could you smash those people like that?!" Twilight Sparkle inquired, "They are just mindless drones since their souls are gone, they do not have any sentience." Medusa answered, "But maybe we can take control of them and have them help us." Trixie suggested, Sunset Shimmer shot fire out of her horn while Tempest Shadow did bursts of magic and they destroyed the vehicles, Tempest Shadow then proceeded to buck the were-armadillos in their unarmored parts to knock them down. Rainbow Dash struggled against the fast humans since they kept up with her and multiplied, she screamed when they overwhelmed her, Pinkie Pie fired her party cannon at them but their force fields deflected it, the toxic humans in the back then began shooting their toxic breath forward. Twilight Sparkle cast a spell to disable the enemies' force fields and Stheno, Euryale, and Medusa looked at their enemies and tried to petrify them but runes and charms in their bodies repeled them, Tom roared and the were-hawks fell to the ground while covering their ears', Aim set the place on fire and the were-owls had trouble seeing, the fast humans gathered everyone around and tied them up, the planes and helicopters fired missiles and Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, Trixie, Starlight Glimmer, and Sunset Shimmer teleported everybody elsewhere. Everybody appeared past their enemies and they immediately began closing in on them, Volvox and Tom smashed every vehicle, drone, and human, their nanomachines and mutations regenerated them. The parasitic humans flew around and tried to slash everybody, "Hold them down!" Doctor Whooves ordered, and Yona rammed them down while Ocellus changed into a bugbear and held them down, Doctor Whooves punched his front hoofs into the humans' upper spines and ripped the parasite out and they changed back to normal. The were-elephants jumped and tried to bodyslam the ponies and Ocellus changed into a mouse and went into one's trunk, he used telekinesis and took her out and held her up, she screamed when the humans tried to rip her apart with their telekinesis. Discord changed the vehicles to harmless objects and then proceeded to make the robots go haywire and attack the humans, "Oh, this is so much fun." Discord remarked, unseen humans tried to control the robots with technopathy but could not. Boogeyman then proceeded to transform into an octopus-like monster with many legs and holding surgical tools, he grabbed the enemies and then proceeded to take their charms and runes out of their bodies while they shot their brainwaves at him, Goatman began going after the mutated humans and cut their armors off with his axe, Boogeyman then went to them and got the charms and runes out of their bodies, Tempest Shadow then did another burst of magic from her horn and knocked them down and Volvox then shot hellfire blasts out of his mouths and eyes and destroyed everything, "Wait, maybe we can use one of the vehicles to help us get to our destination." Twilight Sparkle suggested, "Sure, probably help you all cover more ground, too." Volvox responded, "I kind of get not teleporting so we don't end up in a trap, but maybe we should fly?" Silverstream asked, "Nah, that's kind of risky, too, I saw up ahead that there are weapons that will shoot us out of the sky if we fly up too high and get spotted." Rainbow Dash replied, "You can fly as long as you stay low, that's how I avoided getting shot down even though I'm big myself." Tom added, "I say, we check one vehicle and give it a try." Sandbar stated, the others agreed and they entered one. Volvox, Dommiel, Tom, Aim, Marchosias, Boogeyman, Goatman, Grootslang, Stheno, Euryale, and Medusa guarded the outside while the others looked in, "I should've guessed this would be the case." Doctor Whooves remarked, "What's the matter?" Ocellus asked, "The vehicles require identification to work, the amount is crazy, too." Twilight Sparkle stated, "How bad?" Yona questioned, "There's a scanner on the driver's seat to see if the person is a human or some other creature, there's also genetic identification, skin identification, voice identification, language identification, hand and feet shape identification, identification to see if the person's bipedal, and brain scanners." Twilight Sparkle responded, the others looked on with shock, "Vehicles in my world have precautions against being stolen, but not that many." Sunset Shimmer commented, "Come on, y'all, we'll have to continue walkin'." Applejack said, and everybody went forward. Everybody walked together and the ponies had bitter expressions, "I can't believe you guys just destroyed those soulless were-animals." Twilight Sparkle said, "Did you have something in mind?" Volvox asked, "Well, since we're a land of friendship, we're always taught to offer friendship to creatures of all kind, I could've controlled them with my magic to help us, too." Twilight Sparkle answered, "Unlikely, all humans are telepathically connected to one another, if you take out the human telepathically controlling the soulless humans, another will simply take over." Stheno remarked, "And how many humans were there again?" Applejack questioned, "Billions." Euryale responded, Twilight Sparkle and her friends had horrified expressions, "Twilight, when I looked into one human's mind, I got overwhelmed by how many minds were connected to it, based on what I saw, it is so they all can stay in touch with one another, it's also the reason why the humans don't have one ruler guiding them, every single human is equal in rank so they can continue fighting and conquering lands without needing to take orders from another." Sunset Shimmer explained, "Was this place where you sensed thousands to millions of minds suddenly connecting to the others?" Twilight Sparkle questioned, "I couldn't pinpoint where, but it's possible." Sunset Shimmer answered, "Still, how can one type of creature create such weapons?" Trixie asked, "Wait." Marchosias said, "What is it, Marchosias?" Volvox asked, "Landmines up ahead." Marchosias responded, Volvox shot hellfire beams out of his six eyes and they exploded, "What?! They have explosives under the ground?!" Silverstream exclaimed, "Yes, but these are not ordinary landmines, no matter what, you must not turn around, the landmines will fly out of the ground and home on you if you do." Tom replied, and everybody moved forward slowly. Grootslang slithered around and the landmines flew out of the ground and homed on it, Twilight Sparkle put up a shield and the landmines circled it, she used telekinesis to make them explode and exclaimed when the impact of the explosions knocked her down. She stood back up and everybody walked together, "How many more obstacles before we reach our destination?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Two more, more guards up ahead, and then two bases, one underwater, and one in the sky, they both have buttons that need to be pressed at the same time to enter the first human's hideout." Marchosias replied, "Come on, everybody, we can do this, let's go." Twilight Sparkle stated, and they went. Everybody went forward and saw towers with white lights on their tops, they shot out big lasers and Grootslang slithered forward and rammed them down, "Those are some new defenses there." Applejack remarked, "Those are the anti-air weapons that shoot flying people and technology out of the air." Tom explained, "Oh." Applejack said, "Well, let's continue." Twilight Sparkle stated, and they went forward. Everybody walked forward and saw humans in bio-armors with their shields activated up ahead, they ran at blinding speeds and their shield destroyed anything they touched. Twilight Sparkle put up a shield around herself and her allies while Volvox stretched his necks out and burrowed them into the ground, he endured the pain of the plasma shields while he went through them and bit off their generators to disable them. Volvox panted from the pain while Dommiel tried to use the humans' shadows' to attack them and his powers got repeled, Twilight Sparkle cast a shield around Volvox's heads and necks but kept a hole in it for him to use his mouth, he bit off all of the force field generators while the humans were trying to penetrate the shield brought up by Starlight Glimmer. The humans tried to disable the shield with their magic and shot bullets from their fingers that hovered around the shield, Discord turned the bullets into water balloons and the vibrating blades into squeaky toys, "Ha, ha, it looks like Twilight Sparkle also designed her force field disabling spell to cancel out the runes and charms that cancel out my powers." Discord said, Dommiel proceeded to disappear into his own shadow and appeared in a human's shadow, he reached around and grabbed her forehead, he ripped the medal out and the bio-armor fell apart, he did the same to the others and their bio-armors became destroyed. The humans flew around while Twilight Sparkle cast a spell to disable their force fields and the humans flew back and came back with grenades, "Get ready." Dommiel said, the humans aimed the top of the grenades at them and pulled the pins, flares came out of the grenades' tops and flew to them, "What the?! Aren't you supposed to throw those?!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed, "Normal ones, yes, the humans in the future improved them to make them fly and home on their targets, they now explode on impact instead after a short time, too." Dommiel answered, the grenades flew forward and Boogeyman made himself turn into a solid stainless steel block and endured the grenade explosions, huge explosions appeared while shrapnel flew everywhere, the shockwave destroyed the floor, and radiation spread. Volvox smashed the humans while Grootslang constricted them and destroyed their armors and cyborg parts and they regenerated them with human parts, Volvox shot hellfire blasts at them to incinerate them quickly and their souls apeared, Tom absorbed and destroyed them, the shrapnel and destroyed parts of the floor flew up and Starlight Glimmer cast a spell to destroy them. Everybody went forward and stopped when they saw water up ahead with naval mines in it and a building floating in the sky, "We're at the last line of defense before we get to our destination, there's two bases, one in the sky, and one underwater, there's a button in each one, both have to be pressed at the same time in order to advance." Marchosias explained, "Wow, kinda surprised there ain't no guards." Applejack stated, "There is, elementals, they'll appear when we get close." Marchosias responded, "So, um, what do me, Doctor Whooves, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, and Yona do?" Sandbar questioned, "Watch the land and take out any weapons that try to either shoot down those in the sky or put something in the water." Tom replied, "I can use a spell to make you all walk on the clouds if you wish." Starlight Glimmer suggested, "No, it fine, Yona stay here." Yona responded, "Yeah, we'll watch here." Sandbar added, "Okay, good luck to you guys." Twilight Sparkle stated, and she flew up into the sky with Spike, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Gallus, Smolder, Dommiel, and Tom while Rarity, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, and Trixie cast telekinesis on themselves, Ocellus changed into a seapony and swam into the water with Silverstream and Boogeyman. Volvox, Aim, Marchosias, Goatman, Grootslang, Stheno, Euryale, Medusa, Applejack, Doctor Whooves, Tempest Shadow, Grubber, Sandbar, and Yona remained on the land and watched for anything, "You're not going anywhere, Tempest Shadow?" Sandbar asked, "I can't cast any spells except that burst of mine." Tempest Shadow answered, "Oh." Sandbar said, the ground began to open and cannons began firing plasma shots into the sky, Twilight Sparkle and Rarity exclaimed while Goatman cut them down with his axe, rotary guns came out of the walls next and began shooting at them, Yona charged and broke one while screaming while Applejack and Sandbar kicked one together and broke it, "Where's Pinkie Pie?" Sandbar questioned, "Knowin' her, she's probably got somethin' up her sleeve to help us." Applejack replied, "Discord missing, too." Yona commented, "He's probably got somethin' in mind, too." Applejack responded, white beams shot out of the roofs of nearby structures and Volvox shot red lightning out of his tails tip and destroyed them. Electrified rods were about to be put into the water and Grootslang constricted and destroyed them. Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Rarity, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, Spike, Trixie, Gallus, Smolder, Dommiel, and Tom went up to the base in the sky and moved around to dodge the shots from the ground while exclaiming, "Good thing some of our friends stayed down there." Fluttershy stated, "Yeah, things would've been much harder." Rainbow Dash added, "Look alive, everybody." Twilight Sparkle stated, and the clouds began moving, they formed into a being made of rain, hail, snow, wind, and lightning. Ocellus, Silverstream, and Boogeyman swam through the water and avoided the naval mines, "I'm... scared going through this." Ocellus said, "Me too, come on, Ocellus, we have to be brave, our friends are counting on us." Silverstream replied, they and Boogeyman kept swimming and the passage got narrower and narrower. Boogeyman made himself smaller and pulled Ocellus and Silverstream past the naval mines while they panted nervously, "Look! We're almost there!" Silverstream chirped, they swam forward but she and Ocellus screamed when the water suddenly became electrified and a blob made of lightning formed. Everybody heard screaming in the water and a being made of rocks, stone, and armor formed on the land, it attacked them and Volvox wrestled with it while the sky elemental shot hail, strong winds, and lightning everywhere while the lightning elemental in the water shot lightning out and into the sky. Twilight Sparkle shrieked when one almost hit her. Volvox stabbed his tail into the land elemental and it barely pierced the first layer of its armor, it tired to lift him but he was too heavy, Rainbow Dash tried to grab the sky elemental but she got electrocuted when she touched it, Spike and Smolder breathed fire on it but it went through the sky elemental. Ocellus and Silverstream tried to swim out of the electrified water but could not move, Boogeyman made lightning rods come out of its body and absorbed some of it. The sky elemental sent hail down to the people on the ground and Stheno, Euryale, and Medusa tried staring at it and the land elemental but they did not petrify, Volvox then tried to slash and stab the land elemental with his tail but could not penetrate its body. Twilight Sparkle and Starlight Glimmer heard Ocellus and Silverstream screaming in the water and quickly cast a spell to teleport them back onto the land, the lightning elemental came out of the water and shot electricity everywhere, "How are we supposed to fight these things?!" Rainbow Dash inquired, "I have an idea." Twilight Sparkle stated, and she cast powerful winds with her horn to blow the air elemental's body apart but it reformed, she then blew it up high into the sky and it froze, she shot a zap at the elemental and shattered it, "Oh, I get it, let's try to put the elements in areas that render their properties harmless." Sunset Shimmer stated, "Yup, we're gonna have to fight smarter instead of harder this time." Twilight Sparkle replied, Boogeyman absorbed the lightning elemental into its lightning rods and Starlight Glimmer made metals appear in its body and it got asorbed, she shot a zap at it and destroyed them. Sunset Shimmer looked at the last elemental that Volvox was fighting and she got ready to tried to lift it into the air but Tom stopped flying and body slammed and smashed it, "You alright?" Tom asked, "Yeah, thanks." Volvox responded, Twilight Sparkle looked at Ocellus and Silverstream and cast a healing spell on them, "You guys can go on?" Sandbar asked, "Give us time to recover." Silversteam requested, "Well, don't take too long, more enemies are bound to appear." Dommiel responded, they stood up a minute later, "Okay, let's try again." Ocellus stated, and she transformed into a fish while Silverstream transformed into a seapony and Boogeyman transformed into a piranha, they went back into the water and Tom flew back into the sky. Everybody went back to the bases with no problem and stopped when robotic birds and robotic sharks came out of them, the base in the sky fired missiles while the base underwater fired torpedoes, "Are you kidding me?!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed, the unicorns used their magic to catch the missiles and make them explode. Ocellus and Silverstream swam quickly while the torpedoes homed on them, Boogeyman transformed into a big octopus and the robotic sharks shot explosive harpoons out of their mouths, the ceiling above them opened and depth charages got dropped, Dommiel used his shadow powers to appear in their shadows and grab them, he put them on the surface and Volvox quickly got them out with his telekinesis, he shot hellfire beams out of his eyes and the naval mines exploded. The people in the sky looked and saw the explosion, the robotic birds shot missiles at them and Volvox then shot hellfire blasts out of his eyes to destroy them and the robotic birds, it was cleared but more robots and explosives came out of the bases. The robots and missiles changed to various candies and became harmless, "Oh, this is taking too long and getting boring, let's hurry it up a bit." Discord said as he appeared in the sky, he made the clouds in the sky behave like dogs and attack the base in the sky, he then made the water float in the air, force fields appeared around the two bases and he used his powers to disable them, "Go on in, everybody." Discord stated, and they did. Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Rarity, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, Spike, Trixie, Gallus, Smolder, and Dommiel entered the base while Tom patrolled the outside, assault rifles on the walls opened fire on them and Spike and Smolder quickly breathed fire on them and they exploded. Ocellus, Silverstream, and Boogeyman entered the base under the water and electricity appeared everywhere, Ocellus and Boogeyman changed to big creatures and punched the rods generating them off the walls and went forward. Everybody entered the next rooms and saw scanners and two switches in each one that were for identifying a human's left and right hands, everybody stopped when they saw Pinkie Pie was already in the rooms, "Don't worry, everybody, I got this." Pinkie Pie said in both bases, she formed her front hoofs into left and right human hands' and pressed down on them and the area ahead opened. Everybody regrouped and looked forward, "How did you open the path, Pinkie?" Rainbow Dash questioned, "Pinkie magic, I can shape my body parts into any shape or form of any creature." Pinkie Pie answered, "You can actually do that?" Medusa asked, "It's best you all don't question what she can do." Rainbow Dash replied, "Yeah, the laws of physics don't apply to Pinkie." Applejack added, "Hmm, looks like you and Discord have untapped potential." Volvox observed, "No, I'm fine the way I am." Discord responded, "Let's go, we're close." Doctor Whooves said, and they went forward. Everybody listened but did not hear anything, "More landmines up ahead." Marchosias said, "Not only that, our destination is guarded, I'm going to try to set everything ablaze now to open the two thick doors up ahead." Aim stated, and he used his powers to set the place on fire but nothing happened, "Grubber, can you try to chew the wires of one of those generators up ahead?" Tempest Shadow requested, "Sure." Grubber responded, "I'll see if I can disable the other one." Doctor Whooves stated, and he trotted to the left one while Grubber went to the right one. Grubber looked for an opening while Doctor Whooves tried to access the control panel of one, "Pinkie Pie, I need your hand again." Doctor Whooves said, and Pinkie Pie did and accessed the control panel. The ground opened and everybody exclaimed while spikes appeared, they moved to the sides and they shot up like missiles and homed on everybody. Twilight Sparkle teleported everybody to near the doors and cast a shield around everybody, she tried to cast her magic on the control panels but her magic got repeled, "Discord, we need you now!" Twilight Sparkle hollered, he tried to use his powers on the control panels but they got repeled, "What the?" Discord exclaimed, "Humans must've created new charms and runes to specifically repel your magic while we were in your world, they've made them stronger than the last ones that repelled your magic, too." Aim deduced, the walls opened and missiles shot out while Twilight Sparkle kept her shield up, Starlight Glimmer and Sunset Shimmer put up their own shields to block the missiles. Grubber looked for a way into the control panel but could not find one, Yona charged into the control panel and put two holes in it with her horns, Grubber entered it and chewed on the circuits and wires and disabled the control panel, the first door opened. Doctor Whooves went through the touchscreen panels and cracked the passwords to enter, the first password was 'Sapien', the second password was 'Cro-Magnon', the third password was 'Neanderthal', the fourth password was 'Erectus', the fifth password was 'Habilis', and the sixth password was 'Afarensis', he accessed the control panel and opened the second door, "Okay, we're in, let's go." Aim stated, and Twilight Sparkle went in and closed the doors with her magic, she teleported the others in and they went forward. Everybody went forward and saw hundreds of cloning machines to their sides, "Great wickering stallions! So this is where the clones are made and sent to other worlds!" Doctor Whooves exclaimed, they saw thousands of clones made in each machine per second and a wormhole opened and sent them to different worlds, Volvox fired hellfire blasts out of his mouth and destroyed all of them. They went forward and saw a human wearing the same armor as the others sitting in a chair and had its head connected to various machines, "That's our target there, the very first human, take it out, and the humans' damage throughout existence will become undone." Marchosias stated, the first human's body became made out of fire, lava, water, ice, snow, hail, rocks, stones, crystals, wind, clouds, lightning, white light, black shadow-like energy, and cybernetic parts, its brain then appeared in the head and then a light blue transparent body, the first human then fused with it and its body became part of it, "What did it just do?" Sandbar asked, "It just fused all of its physical, magical, technological, and spiritual abilities together." Aim responded, "Come on, let's destroy it." Tempest Shadow ordered, and she ran. The first human shot fire, lava, water, ice, snow, hail, rock, stone, cyrstal, wind, cloud, lightning, light, and dark magic out of its hands while also shooting plasma lasers and beams out of its eyes, Volvox shot hellfire blasts out of his three mouths and a force field deflected his powers, he tried to smash the first human with his front feet but it grabbed him and began draining his life force with its spiritual powers. Dommiel shot black blasts out of his hands and the first human canceled it out with its light magic, he tried to disappear into its shadow and come out of it, he grunted when he felt himself trying to get possessed by the first human and he grunted while resisting. Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and Tempest Shadow went forward and tried to physically attack it but they exclaimed in pain at how hard its body was, they also got burned, frozen, cut by gusts of wind, electrocuted, or pelted with solid objects depending on where they struck. Ocellus transformed into various creatures and tried to attack it with Boogeyman, Goatman, and Grootslang but the first human held them with telekinesis and tried to rip them apart, Yona rammed it and it dropped them, Yona ran away while screaming. Trixie tried casting her spells but nothing worked, Rarity, Starlight Glimmer, and Sunset Shimmer put up shields but they got destroyed with one hit, Gallus and Silverstream tried kicking and pecking but they got swatted away, Fluttershy tried calling for animals but there was no response, Stheno's, Euryale's, and Medusa's powers got deflected, Sandbar tried running but psychic powers pushed him back, Spike and Smoulder breathed fire but a force field deflected them, and Doctor Whooves and Grubber looked around for any technology to hack and destroy but did not find any. Pinkie Pie and Discord used their powers together to break the laws of physics and Discord tried changing the first human's body but his powers got deflected, "Oh, this is no fun." Discord remarked, "Yeah, nothing's working!" Pinkie Pie hollered, the first human began shooting missiles out of its fingers and toes, plasma shots from its palms and balls of its feet, a small laser beam and plasma shots from its eyes, another small laser beam from its mouth, a big laser from its chest, and missiles from its knees and shoulders, it then launched missiles from its back and landed on Rarity's shield and she exclaimed while the impact knocked her down, "What are we supposed to do?!" Rainbow Dash inquired, "I'm wondering, if it's layered, then maybe we stand a chance, let's try destroying its physical body first." Twilight Sparkle suggested, and everybody went forward. Volvox, Dommiel, and Tom got a hold of the first human's physical body and tried to rip it out, cybernetic parts grew out of its body in several areas and Dommiel stretched his shadow out to grab them and rip them off, they got replaced with organic parts and Volvox grabbed the first human's body again and ripped it out of the mishmash of elements and technology, he generated hellfire with his front feet and incinerated the body, "It worked!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed, "Okay, next, the technological parts." Twilight Sparkle spoke, wormholes opened behind them and humans came in and began firing assault rifles, Twilight Sparkle cast a shield between them and the humans but wormholes opened inside the shield and they came in, they fired assault rifles and the bullets homed on them, "We'll deal with them, take out that person hooked to the machine." Tempest Shadow said, and she, Grubber, Rarity, Applejack, Gallus, Ocellus, Silverstream, Aim, Grootslang, Stheno, Euryale, and Medusa went to go fight them. The first human began shooting homing bullets, lasers, beams, plasma shots, and missiles everywhere, Pinkie Pie and Discord worked together to change them into harmless objects and Sunset Shimmer shot a blast from her horn but the first human's force field deflected it, Twilight Sparkle cast her spell and disabled it, the first human then activated its plasma shield and Volvox burrowed his three heads into the floor. The humans saw he was immobile and they ran to attack him and Grootslang wrapped around and constricted them, their ghosts appeared and Tom absorbed and destroyed them. Volvox got his heads into the shield and bit the generator off of the first human's chest and disabled it, his heads went back to his body. Rainbow Dash picked up Doctor Whooves and flew around and he disabled every technological piece on the first human, it got a hold of Rainbow Dash with its telekinesis and she threw Doctor Whooves onto the first human's face, he ripped the medal out of its forehead and all of its technological parts fell off. The first human began casting its magic and multiplied while also casting illusions, Twilight Sparkle and Starlight Glimmer shot the fake beings away with their spells while Sunset Shimmer cast a spell to undo the illusion, the first human opened wormholes with its brain and rainbow herbicides, toxic waste, and the toxic gas began coming in. The ponies and their friends began coughing and gagging, "The first human's letting radiation and the toxic gas come in." Dommiel said, "Come on, we have to take out the psychic part, get its brain." Volvox ordered, and they went forward. The first human shot its brainwaves at them and they destroyed whatever they touched, Fluttershy tried flying for it but the brainwaves pushed her back. Rainbow Dash tried flying through the telekinesis and had trouble, "Come... on... I'm... so... close." Rainbow Dash said while straining herself, she grunted while trying to fly out of the first human's telekinesis, Volvox saw her and he slammed his front left foot on the first human's head and disoriented it, its telekinesis stopped and Rainbow Dash flew to its head. She grunted while trying to pull its brain out and Volvox and Tom tried to help her, Applejack ran forward and she jumped on the solid parts of the first human's body and got to its brain, she grunted while trying to pull it out, Pinkie Pie then suddenly grabbed it from above and pulled, everybody worked together and grunted loudly when they pulled the brain out, Volvox then smashed it with his front right foot while the ponies looked on with horror. The first human then began casting spells and everybody felt heavy and became stuck to the floor due to the gravity change, the other humans then began firing their assault rifles and Twilight Sparkle screamed while putting a shield up around herself and her allies, Dommiel tried to use his shadow powers but they got weighed down. Pinkie Pie and Discord moved around freely and the humans stopped fighting and looked on baffled, Discord began closing the wormholes and opening portals to his realm and the humans fell in, the humans tried to reopen them and open more wormholes but could not due to Discord's powers. Pinkie Pie appeared everywhere and laughed while the first human tried using its magic on her but they had no effect on her, she appeared in the first human's body and absorbed every magic element of its body and shot it out of her mouth at the ceiling and laughed, "Okay, the magic part's gone." Twilight Sparkle stated, but the elements soon reappeared in the first human's body, "Any suggestions?" Grubber asked, "Let's see if this works." Twilight Sparkle responded, and she held her head up. She cast a spell and water appeared and the first human's fire part vanquished, she, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, and Trixie smiled and cast spells together, fire vanquished the water part, wind vanquished the rock, stone, and crystal parts, earth magic vanquised the wind, cloud, and lightning parts, ice vanquised the lava part, lava vanquished the ice, snow, and hail parts, light magic vanquished the dark part, and dark magic vanquished the light part, "There, okay, now the last part, spiritual." Twilight Sparkle announced, "Tom, you're up." Volvox said, and he flew forward. The first human absorbed the souls of every dead human and being in every world and throughout time and shot blasts out of its hands, eyes, and forehead, Tom made a spiritual shield appear around himself and blocked the attacks, he began absorbing and screamed when he began to get overwhelmed. Discord changed to a ghost and he began helping Tom absorbing the spiritual energy, he shot them at the ceiling and the first human began absorbing it, Tom quickly absorbed them into his body and destroyed them, the first human continued absorbing more souls and Discord created duplicates of himself. They absorbed the souls out of the first human and put them in Tom slowly and he destroyed them, "Guys, I don't think this is going to work." Starlight Glimmer commented, "Well, it's all we got, I don't know any spells on how to combat or counter spiritual powers." Twilight Sparkle responded, Discord and his duplicates grew bigger and absorbed more spiritual energy, they laughed while the first human continued absorbing but eventually ran out, Tom absorbed the first human's spiritual energy into himself and destroyed it. Tom sighed loudly while Discord made his duplicates disappear and reverted back to normal size, the first human stood up out of its chair and jumped down. It held up an assault rifle and Grootslang quickly constricted the first human, its body regenerated and broke out of its grip. Twilight Sparkle cast the spell to disable its force field and broke the assault rifle with her magic, the first human took a shotgun off of its back and Twilight Sparkle destroyed it, the first human aimed a pistol and Twilight Sparkle destroyed it. The first human activated its bio-armor and Volvox quickly used his telekinesis to rip the medal out of its forehead and the armor pieces fell off, the first human then activated its parasite form and Goatman quickly cut off the chitin on the first human's upper spine with his axe and Silverstream ripped the parasite out. The first human reverted back to their human form and everybody saw the first human was bald and a male and female combined, the first human then changed to a were-animal form that were all the others combined and Volvox quickly smashed the first human with his front right foot, the first human then came out as a ghost and Tom absorbed and destroyed its soul. Everybody panted and heard beeping, they looked and saw humans were disappearing in every world, "Look! We did it!" Pinkie Pie chirped, "Yeah, it wasn't easy though." Applejack responded, "Come on, everyone, let's go home." Sandbar stated, and Doctor Whooves got ready to activate one of the wormholes and an alarm went off, "Oh, what now?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Warning, first human's brainwaves undetected, first human believed to be dead, if not so, then all remaining humans evacuate the Earth as atomic bombs, kinetic bombardment rods, satellite lasers, and asteroids will soon destroy the planet." a female voice announced, "Whaaaaat?!" Rarity exclaimed, "So the humans had a contingency plan, if they are driven to extinction, destroy the Earth so me, Volvox, and all of the other non-human natives will go extinct." Dommiel said, "What?! That's crazy!" Ocellus exclaimed, "Come on, everybody, we have to stop them." Twilight Sparkle said, and they went outside. Volvox, Aim, Marchosias, Goatman, Grootslang, Stheno, Euryale, Medusa, Applejack, Tempest Shadow, Grubber, Sandbar, and Yona looked around while Rarity, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, and Trixie cast telekinesis on themselves and Dommiel, Tom, Boogeyman, Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Spike, Gallus, Ocellus, Smolder, and Silverstream flew, Pinkie Pie and Discord were nowhere to be seen. Everybody watched and they saw hundreds of twinkles in the sky, atomic bombs, kinetic bombardment rods, satellite lasers, and asteroids began falling from the sky. Volvox had orange lights appear in his three mouths, six eyes, balls of his front feet, and tips of his front toes, he aimed them forward and shot hundreds of hellfire blasts everywhere, he destroyed the atomic bombs, kinetic bombardment rods, and asteroids while Twilight Sparkle, Starlight Glimmer, and Sunset Shimmer put up shields to block the satellite lasers, "More on this side!" Silverstream exclaimed, and Twilight Sparkle quickly shot zaps from her horn to destroy the oncoming kinetic bombardment rods. Pinkie Pie and Discord were in the satellites and brought Doctor Whooves with them, he turned off the satellite lasers and each one unleashed the poison gas, they got him out before he inhaled any and they quickly moved him from one satellite to another to disable the lasers, "Non-human tamperer detected, self-defense mechanism activated." a female voice said in each satellite, they quickly moved along and while seeing many atomic bombs, kinetic bombardment rods, and asteroids get destroyed, they eventually disabled all of the satellites and Discord snapped his fingers to make them explode, he then made bubblegum surround the entire Earth. Volvox noticed everything getting stuck and waited, "All weapons to destroy the Earth have been launched." the female voice said, Discord then put the kinetic bombardment satellites in the bubblegum and Twilight Sparkle used her telekinesis to let it drift in space, Volvox then fired hellfire blasts at it and destroyed them all in a huge explosion, everybody regrouped and went back in. Doctor Whooves messed with wormhole device and found the coordinates back to their world, the portal opened and Starlight Glimmer moved time in it with her magic, "Yes! We did it!" Rainbow Dash chirped, "Come on, everybody, let's go home." Twilight Sparkle said, and she went into the portal and teleported the others into it and closed it. Everybody reappeared in their world and its natives cheered while the island's natives just watched, "Great job as always, by the power of friendship, Equestria has been saved once again." Princess Celestia said, Volvox and his subjects looked on with confusion, "The entire world is proud of you all, you didn't just save Equestria, but all of existence as well." Princess Luna said, "It wasn't easy." Applejack replied, "I noticed that, but you all have succeeded through teamwork, I am proud of you all." Princess Celestia stated, "What happened after all of those asteroids and other weapons destroyed the world?" Twilight Sparkle asked, "We continued fighting as ghosts, normally, we don't do that, we like to forgive and offer friendship, but unfortunately, the people on that island turned out to be right, the conquerors didn't listen and couldn't be reasoned with, so we had no choice but to keep fighting." Princess Cadance explained, "I'm still surprised that island of mine is still here even though history has been changed." Volvox commented, "You all came here through a mishap this time, but you're welcome to stay here." Shining Armor remarked, "No, my other subjects are waiting for us back at home, we better get going." Volvox responded, "Okay, but before you do, we need you and your subjects to help us create counters and contingency plans, we have never fought such opponents before, most of our opponents are usually physical or magical, advanced technology is rare, but we have never encountered enemies with psychic powers or control over souls until now, so please, Volvox, we need help from you and your subjects in creating emergency plans if our world ever encounter such powerful opponents ever again." Princess Celestia explained, "We'll see what we can do." Volvox responded, "Thank you, Volvox, you all are really doing us a favor." Princess Celestia spoke, and everybody gathered around and began creating contingency plans for hours, "Well, it seems we're done here, let's go ahead and head on home." Tom stated, "Thank you all for helping, we wish you all a new and happy home now, too." Princess Celestia responded, and Doctor Whooves used his technology to open a wormhole and the world's natives said bye to them while Doctor Whooves sent them back. Volvox and his subjects saw the formerly extinct species' were back and he and the others began talking about what happened, statues of him, those who went to Equestria, and Equestria's natives were built and the tale of the events that transpired was passed on for generations.
