Chapter 4: Battle for the Elements Begins! Part 2

After his cohorts left to complete their assignments, James went on the attack, firing rockets all around the Empire. Thankfully, he didn't hit any of the buildings or the ponies, but it was enough to catch the attention of the guards, who were all chasing James, as he flew around, still firing rockets.

Meanwhile,

After leaving James to cause a distraction, the Nega Titans and the villains all made their way to Winterkeep. Stopping outside the walls of the infamous prison, Lance could see the elements of harmony, along with the children, the Mixels, and their targets, the Beings of Harmony, all waiting to be let in, "Lance, should I freeze time and retrieve the elements?" Tempo asked.

"No, we have our own assignment to accomplish ourselves," Lance replied. Just then, he saw that the group was being let in, "Alright Tempo, freeze time around us, and we'll infiltrate the prison from there," Lance ordered. Nodding in understanding, Tempo began to warp the fabric of time around them, and they all quickly made their way into the prison, and past the group, and the guards, "Alright, lets get to our assignments," Lance said as he and the other Nega Titans made their way to the weapon storage facility.

"Well, we should wait for an opening to swipe the elements, those lame brains will never know what hit them," Mane-iac said, as she and the other villains left for their own hiding places, just as time was returning to normal.

Back with the children,

After getting permission to see the titans, the adults went down to their cell, while the Mixels volunteered to stay behind and watch the children, "Well, while they go and straighten things out with the Titans, how about we take a stroll around the Crystal Empire while we wait?" Flain suggested.

"Well, seeing as how none of you have been to the Empire before, Ah could show y'all around," Nathan offered.

"Fine with me," Zorch said, before seeing Toby, Conner, Echo, Clover, Melody, and Mike, all looking around, "Hey guys, is something wrong?" the fiery speedster asked.

"Well, none of us can see our little sisters, and they were just standing right here," Toby replied.

"That's strange, but why is Trinity still here? They could've taken her too," Cory pointed out.

"Hmm, I'll run in, and tell the others," Sonia said, rushing back into the prison to find the adults.

"Well, in the meantime, I guess we should look around here for them," Hoogi said.

While he was waiting for someone to come and bust him and his brother out, Raiden was examining the math equations on the wall, 'Hmm, what do these equations mean?' he thought to himself, just as he and the others heard the door holding their opening, and much to their relief, it was their parents and their friends.

"Hello Titans," Celestia said.

"Hey, what're you all doing here?" Silver asked.

"To get you out of here, of course," Discord replied, just as Sonia came running in.

"Guys, we have a problem! Serenity, Charity, Season, Vibrant, and Lucky Joy have disappeared!" she cried.

"Bet it was those weird Titans, the ones that had that guy in a suit of armor," Brian suggested. Twilight then noticed some writing on the walls.

"Uh, were you boys doing math on that wall?" she asked.

"That was there before, now stand back," Raiden said, as he and his brothers readied themselves, and burst through the bars, "Ok, lets hurry and find them," he said, as Discord teleported them out of the prison.

"James, the detonator is set, but I need to know how long to set the timer for," Lance said, using a communicator.

"Good work boys, you can set the detonator to go off in exactly fifteen minutes. Will that be enough time for you and your team to get out, Mane-iac?" James asked over the communicator.

"My team has already got our objectives, and we can get out of here in five minutes easy," Mane-iac replied.

"Alright, then set the detonator to go off in ten minutes," James said to the Nega titan, who did so.

"Alright guys, lets blow this popsicle stand," Lance said, as he and his brothers ran out of the building.

9:10 AM

After Discord teleported the group outside the prison walls, they saw all the children and the Mixels looking around for the missing elements of harmony, "Hey guys, any luck?" Sonia asked.

"None so far," Toby replied, before noticing four figures jumping off of the building, "Hey, look!" Toby said, pointing to the side of the building.

"It those fake titans!" Brian said, as he and his brothers gave chase.

"Boys, wait!" Lily called.

"Don't worry, my fellow leaders will give chase, right guys?" Flain asked, which the others nodded.

"I'll take to the skies," Flurr said, as he began to fly, with Mesmo in pursuit.

"Alright, lets wait here for the others to arrive," Lance said.

"Not so fast!" the Nega Titans all turned to see the real titans, "We found you fakers!" Silver said.

"Fakers? You dare call us fakers? I think you're the fake titans. You're not good enough to be our fakes," Tempo said, as he and his brothers raced off.

"Hold it right there!" Brian said, as he and Silver tackled Lance to the ground, while Francisco and Heiru attacked Tempo, Stealth and Icezer went after Surfer, and Echo-Echo and Raiden went after Dusty. A huge battle ensued as the titans and Nega titans exchanged blast after blast, none of them giving an edge.

"Oh boys, could you come and help my team out? We ran into some trouble, and now we're locked in some large room, and it can't be opened from the inside," Mane-iac asked. over the communicator.

"We're busy!" Lance snarled.

"What? You mean you won't help us?" High Heel asked.

"Not right this second, no!" Dusty replied.

"I knew we should never have counted on those shady characters!" Shadow Mane commented, as she and her fellow villains tried to break the doors down themselves.

"Just you jerks wait! Our family and friends are going to get us back, just you wait!" Vibrant said.

"Oh, be quiet!" Mane-iac hissed, as she and the other villains continued at the door.

Outer forest Clearing
9:23 AM

"*Pant* *Pant* You guys are pretty good," Silver said, trying to catch his breath.

"You guys aren't to shabby yourselves," Lance commented.

"Lance, what are you and your brothers doing?! The bomb in Winterkeep's storage is going to blow up any second!" James said over the communicator.

"WHAT?!" the titans exclaimed.

"We need to get back to the prison, and fast!" Silver said, as Francisco teleported them away.

"I'm not waiting for you and the villains any longer! You're on your own now," James said, as Lance pulled out his communicator.

"Mane-iac, do you and your friends still have the elements of Harmony?" he asked.

"Like they could escape," Mane-iac replied.

"We'll be right there to pick them up," Lance said, before turning towards Tempo, who pulled out the Crystal Heart. However, they didn't know that the Mixel leaders were watching the whole thing, and charged at them, latching onto them, as they all warped.

Winterkeep Storage Area
9:25 AM

"*Groan* They're coming for the elements, but what about us?" Long Face asked, just as the Nega Titans warped into the storage unit, with the Mixel leaders, who they just punched away, and swiped the elements.

"Alright, we have the elements, so lets get out of here," Lance said.

"Hold on! You boys aren't just going to leave them behind, are you?" High Heel asked.

"It doesn't concern us what happens to them," Surfer replied.

"Hold on," Flain said as he stood up, "Our friends got arrested because of you guys," he said.

"So what?" Dusty asked.

"Well, we'd know they try to save you guys if it was the other way around," Viynal reasoned, just as another vision entered the Nega Titan's minds, of the same little girl as before.

Thinking for a moment, Lance then turned towards Tempo, "Tempo, go ahead and slow time around everyone in this room for about thirty minutes," he instructed, which Lance did so, "As for you guys," Lance said, turning towards the Mixels, "You're all coming with us," he said, as Surfer formed a ball of water around them, "Surfer, you, Dusty and Mane-iac and her friends head back to the base. I still have one more thing that I should do before we leave," Lance instructed, as everyone went their separate ways.

"So what're we going to do?" Tempo asked, as he and Lance exited the compound.

"Since the Element of Magic is going to be the hardest to contain, we're going to kidnap some of her friends," Lance said, as he grabbed Toby, Josh, and Conner, while Tempo grabbed Melody, Clover, and Mavis, "And just because I'm old fashioned, I'll leave this ransom note," Lance said, as he pulled out a letter with words spelled with newspaper clippings.

We have your children. If you ever want to see them again, along with the Mixel leaders, you WILL bring us the Element of Magic to Space Colony ARK.

"Brilliant!" Tempo said, as Lance left the note on Shuff's face. As soon as that was done, they took off.

After the effects of Tempo began to wear off, Shuff noticed a piece of paper on his face. Taking it of, and reading it, he gasped, "Uh, guys?" he called.

"What's wrong Shuff?" Spot asked.

"This is," Shuff said, handing the DJ musician the ransom note. Once read, she gasped in horror.

"Hey, you guys know where my precious baby Toby is?" Ashley asked. Spot then handed Ashley the note, and once she read it herself, she gasped in horror, "Oh, my baby!" she cried, just as Heiru scooped her, along with Shuff and Spot, "What the?! Heiru, what're you doing?!" Ashley demanded.

"No time, there's a bomb in the prison that'll go off any minute! My brothers have already evacuated everyone here," Heiru replied, as he brought them over to a hill side, where the others were waiting, just as the prison exploded.

"Was everyone in the prison evacuated?" Shining Armor asked on of the guards.

"Yes captain, and all the inmates are present and accounted for," the guard replied.

"Good, now then, until another prison is built, you're all going to spend your sentences in the dungeons bellow Canterlot Castle," Celestia said sternly, which got some quiet groans from the inmates.

"But, what about our babies?" Ashley asked.

"Yeah, and we need our leaders," Hoogi said, as the sun began to set, but not before a mysterious warp in the fabric of space formed in the night sky.
