We join AJ-1 and Co. as they rush to get to Paradise Estate. Megan is on AJ-2's back and the local Spike on the other Twilight's. Twilight is floating over AJ-1.
"So what am I up against?" AJ-1 asked Megan, "All I know is he's a sorcerer who tried to steal your house with paint"
"He was previously run out of the Estate when Paradise dumped the paint on his wand" Megan said, "Posey, how did he manage to take it over again?"
"That's the worst of it" Posey weeped, "He has Princess Tiffany's Magic Wand!"
Everypony stops when AJ-1 comes to a screeching hault.
"Whoa-whoa-whoa!" AJ-1 said pointing at the other Twilight, "This wouldn't happen to be one of those wands this one told me about yesterday, would it?"
"The one and the same, I'm afraid" the other Twilight said sorrowfully.
"Not disrespecting the power of a princess, but shouldn't those things be heavily guarded?" Asked Twilight momentarily forgetting only AJ-1 can see and hear her.
"The princess must have been overpowered by him" the local Spike said.
Suddenly, a masculan, robotic voice is heard chanting "CRUSH! KILL! DESTROY! SWAG! CRUSH! KILL! DESTROY! SWAG!"
"What was that?" AJ-2 asked.
A loud creaking noise is heard making AJ-1 look to her left. "LAND SAKES!" she cried, "WHO THE HAY BUILT THAT CONTRAPTION!?"
A robotic Rainbow Dash walking on its hind legs with its front legs out as if it were a zombie. The robot came closer still shouting, "CRUSH! KILL! DESTROY! SWAG!"
"RUN!" Twilight shouted follwing AJ-1 who started follwing Posey soon follwed by the others.
"CRUSH! KILL! DESTROY! SWAG!" the robot said again.
A dome of energy surrounds the robot, making it walk in place. The robot stops as a strange, blue, sickly-looking, mouthless alicorn that appears to be made of pure energy with a brite, pale, green mane and tail materializes before it. His Cutie Mark seemed to be an ever-changing view of villainous persons and misdeeds as if it were a never-ending clip show. One image showed the Moochick with a shotgun saying "The Horse was lame, had to put it down" This quickly changes to a shot of a lava monster in a crown demanding information from a group of ponies in damsel hats and Bushwoolies on how to drain their Magic Wands to transform him into a Crystal Demon.
Seeing the alicorn, the robot starts chanting "CRUSH! KILL! DESTROY! SWAG!" as it pounds on the dome's wall.
"Patiants, my pet" the alicorn said in an electronic voice, "You will have satisfaction yet. If that fool, Beezen doesn't dispose of them, you may have your fun"
A week earlier, the alicorn was standing in a white, blank world. He opens portals summoning a green-skined white-haired creature similar to Megan only male and not as appealing in appearance, a dragon, the robot, another robot that looks similar to the first one but in a humanoid model and a creature simliar in build to the second robot only organic, has light amber skin, red hair with yellow highlights as if it apeared to be flames, wearing a black leather jacket, purple shirt, a skirt and thigh-boots.
"What is the meaning of this!?" Asked the male creature.
"WHERE AM I, SWAG!?" Wondered the second robot sounding like one you hear in an old sci-fi movie.
"I DEMAND ANSWERS!" Shouted the female creature as the dragon roared.
"SILENCE!" The alicorn boomed. "I suppose you are all wondering why I summoned you all here"
"AND JUST WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE, SWAG!?" the second robot asked.
"I am Albad" he answered, "And our current venue is a space between worlds known as the Blankverse"
"Why did you bring us here?" The female creature added.
Albad moves towards the group then turns to show his Cutie Mark.
"Observe" He said showing footage of the the male creature. "Beezen, a powerful sorcerer in your reality who was hoist with his own petard, so to speak, when your greatest weapon to date was used against you bringing your wand to life and run you out of Paradise Estate"
"Those retched ponies ruined me!" Beezen said with a combination of a whine and a growl.
The image on his Cutie Mark changes to footage of the dragon. "Basil, a fearce dragon who lives beyond Paradise Lake. A brave pony of YOUR reality attempted to slay you, but you prevailed in warding him off. So long as his ghost does not find you, you remain a force to be reckoned with" Basil roars at Albad as he changes the image to the first robot's past. "The R-Dash 5000, created by Twilight Sparkle to replace the late Rainbow Dash as the Element Of Loyalty. You come from an alternate reality from your version of the Fifth Central where you were never activated"
"CRUSH! KILL! DESTROY! SWAG!" R-Dash 5000-1 said.
"Yes" Albad said looking over at R-Dash 5000-2, "And you, a parallel version of her with an extended vocabulary who has no perpulsion sytems. YOU were launched into outer space when you attempted to rule over machines, were you not?"
"I SINCE THEN SWORE REVENGE ON THE PLANET, SWAG!" R-Dash 5000-2 said shaking her metalic fists.
"And Sunset Shimmer" Albad said looking in front of him at the female creature, "...Need I say more?"
"...Celestia" She growled, snapping the spatual she was holding in her hands in two.
"I have gathered you five here to assist me" Albad explained, "Should you help me, I will grant your fondest desires"
"AND IF WE REFUSE, SWAG!?" Asked R-Dash 5000-2.
Albad summons another R-Dash 5000-1 and traps it in a bubble.
"Say that this variation of the R-Dash 5000 were one of you" Albad said, "You see, I am a manifestation of the energy that drives you to seek your goals. The souls of those with similar goals who have fallen. Your thoughts, your memories...Your self-knowing. What ever strengths you all have, I can easily neutralize it! And if you refuse..." The bubble shrinks crushing the R-Dash 5000-1 within it. "Get the picture?"
"YES!" Beezen sinveled.
"ABDOLUTELY, SWAG!" R-Dash 5000-2 said stepping back.
"You have our full attention" said Sunset with an ounce of worry in her voice as basil whimpers.
"Good" Albad said, "I will now send you back to your dimensions and you're to await my orders" He sends Beezen, Basil and Sunset away. "Except for you two, I have a special assignment for you"
When our heroes make it to Paradise Estate, the other pony residents are all sitting on top of a hill. A white, blue-eyed pegasus with a Cutie Mark of a silver teardrop-shaped medallion with a green jewel in the center of it wearing a purple damsel hat flies down to them.
"Oh, I'm so glad you're back!" the pegasus cried, "Beezen used my wand to take over Paradise Estate"
"Wait, so YOU'RE Princess Tiffany?" AJ-1 asked looking under the hat.
"Yes" Tiffany answered, "Why do you look like Applejack?"
"Because I AM Applejack" AJ-1 replied putting the hat back, "A variation of her, anyway"
"I suppose Alicorns don't exist in this dimension" Twilight said to AJ-1.
"Would you stop floatin' there, Twi?" AJ-1 asked Twilight, "You're freakin' me out!"
"Sorry" Twilight giggled as she puts her hooves on the ground.
Suddenly, Beezen appears holding a blue star-tipped wand.
"You must be Beezen" AJ-1 commented turning her attention toward the wand, "My goodness, that's a basic-lookin wand"
"Even the simplest appearing artifacts can hold powerful magic" Twilight said in a concerned voice.
"WHAT!?" AJ-1 shouted in disbelief, "Ugh, con sarn it...Magic is SO confusing!"
"Who are you talking to?" Beezen asked trying hard not to care.
"None of yer bee's wax!" AJ-1 yelled, "Now tell me what's so dang important about this house that you have to steal it!"
"Why to make it my lair, of course" said a prideful Beezen.
Shocked at this for a moment, AJ-1 goes off on him. "Wait, wait, wait, you're tellin' me, with all the power you have, you don't have a place of your own!? That's just a might sad on my end. On the other hoof, what more could you expect from somepony in the villain busines?"
"Not much" Albad said with his voice coming from all around. He materializes before our heroes, right next to Megan who topples over in surprise.
"Who in tarnation are you!?" AJ-1 asked.
"The reason you are here" Zacherle said standing next to Princess Tiffany.
"In a way" Albad started, "...I am the worst of everyone!"
