//------------------------------// // Chapter 8: Final rush // Story: Project Nega Titan // by darkmage1997 //------------------------------// Space Colony ARK: 8:42 AM Collision time: 20 minutes, 39 Seconds Running to try to save the Earths from destruction, Twilight, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, the Wiztastics, Infernites, Frosticons, Glorp Corp, Supersonics, and Charmings, along with Clementine, Marcus, Lily, Harold, and Cory were making their way to the eastern control room, where a switch that can allow access to the reactor core of the ARK was located, "Ok, we know the plan, right? Go in, find the switch, switch it so the door opens," Twilight said, as they entered the room. Once they entered, turrets started firing at them. Luckily, the Wiztastics and Frosticons maxed out and obliterated the turrets, allowing Cory, Clementine, and Harold access to the switch. "We got it Mom!" Cory called to his alicorn Mother, who was surveying the monitors. "Yes, but it looks like the others haven't gotten to the other switch yet," she said worriedly. "Yeah, and Silver's group is closing fast," Harold commented. Space Colony ARK: 8:45 AM Collision Time: 17 Minutes, 56 Seconds Running to complete their objective, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, the Power Ponies' enemies, along with James, Ashley, Damian, Clare, the Rockettes, Electoons, Fang Gang, Fighters,, and Electroids were running like mad to the west control room, "There it is!" James shouted, as they entered a room. Once inside, they were ambushed by water creatures, "Are you kidding me?!" he shouted. "Leave these guys to us, get to the switch!" Teslo said, as he and the other Mixels maxed out and went to stall the water creatures. Once they got cover, the humans and ponies rushed over to throw the switch, opening the other door. "Alright, both doors are open. Now its all up to Silver's group," James said solemnly. Space Colony ARK observation deck 1: 8:47 AM Collision time: 15 Minutes 25 Seconds "I hope Mommy and the others will succeed," Toby said, fearful of the consequence of failure. "Toby, everything will be alright, have faith in our friends," Footi said, kneeling down to the boy. "Footi's right, they'll succeed," Kraw said. "Don't count on it," they all turned to see Lance and the Nega titans standing in the doorway, "We vowed revenge on the world for taking Henrietta from us, and its about to become a reality," Lance explained. "But Lance," Toby said, getting up from the floor. Footi was about to stop him, before Tenetro stopped him, "You guys can help our friends," he explained, latching on to Lance's leg. "Back off," Lance said, as he kicked Toby away, which made the others gasp. "We made a promise to Henrietta, and we're going to keep it!" Dusty said. "Look, I know there a lot of bad people out there, and some bad ponies too, but there are also a ton of good guys too. You guys can help stop this, please Lance, Tempo, Dusty, Surfer, you've got to stop this whole thing! Can't you see its not fair to the nice people and ponies?!" Toby begged. "Don't talk to us about 'fair', not after what we went through!" Lance snarled, "Henrietta was our only friend, and because of us, she died," Lance said, remembering their little sister figure. "All she ever wanted was to visit one of those planets, but she never got the chance," Tempo said bitterly. "But think about it! If Henrietta wanted you guys to avenge her, she would want you to save the worlds, not destroy them! And she would want to you guys to make friends with them!" what Toby said suddenly got the gears in the Nega Titans' heads to start turning, as they remembered the last time they saw Henrietta. Flashback: 50 years ago The Nega titans continued their attempt to break out, "Big brothers, listen to me, promise me that you'll help the people and ponies of that planet, and be their friends," Henrietta said, "I always dreamed of someday visiting that planet with you guys, but it appears you'll have to take on this task yourselves." "NO HENRIETTA!" the Nega titans cried, as tears rolled down their eyes. "Sayonara, Lance, Tempo, Dusty, and Surfer," Henrietta sadly said, as she pulled the lever. Present time, As Toby tried to get through to asking the Nega Titans for help, he collapsed, before being helped by Lance, who had tears in his eyes, "Toby's right, Henrietta wanted us to make friends with everyone down on those planets," he said, as he gave Toby over to Footi, "Now guys, we've got to go help the others, and fulfill our promise to her," Lance said, as he and his brothers rushed out of the room. Space Colony ARK reactor core: 8:50 AM Collision time: 12 Minutes, 45 seconds The titans, Eris, and the Cragsters entered a room with a pulsating heart like object suspended over the shrine where the elements of harmony and the Crystal Heat were located, "That shrine looks like the shrine of the Master Element!" Eris exclaimed. "They must've designed this place like the Master Element's shrine to harness the power of the Elements of Harmony, and the Crystal Heart," Raiden theorized, as the group ran towards the shrine, where something caught their attention. "All of you ungrateful ingrates will pay for taking my granddaughter from me," the recording of Jerry's last words were played over and over, as a flash of light summoned a large red lizard with what appeared to be cyborganic parts on its back. "Is this creature the prototype of the ultimate life form that was supposed to be encapsulated?" Raiden wondered, as he and his brothers prepared for battle, before they were stopped. "Leave this guy to us," Lance said, as he and his brothers approached the monster in place of the titans. "Lance?" Silver asked, as he and the armored teen locked glares. "We'll distract this beast while you guys go for the elements!" Lance said, as he and his brothers went on the attack. The creature roared as the Nega Titans attacked it. While that battle was going on, the titans, Eris, and the Cragsters quickly sneaked past the lizard, and rushed towards the shrine. Ascending the stairs to the alter, the Cragsters placed the Master Element in the center of the shrine, "Alright sis, this is up to you now," Silver said, as he, the other titans, and the Cragsters backed away. "The servers are the six harmony; Harmony is power; Power is enriched by the heart; Only you can stop the Elements of Harmony and the Crystal Heart, do it Master Element!" Eris called to the rainbow object, which shot beams of light at each of the elements and the crystal heart, which dropped to the ground, having lost their luster. A roar got their attention. Turning, they saw the large lizard being engulfed in a bright light. "Is it gone?" Shuff asked. "Chaos control!" Tempo cried, as he and his brothers joined the others at the alter. Just then, the entire colony shook again. "What's going on?!" Brian demanded. "We stop energy, so why we still fall?!" Seismo cried. "*BZZT* Silver, can you and the others hear me? That monster is still alive! Its attached itself to the eclipse cannon! Its determined to keep the colony on its collision course!" James called to the group. "Looks like we've got one thing left to do guys," Heiru said, as he, his brothers, and the Nega Titans closed their eyes, and floated up with the Elements of Harmony and the Crystal Heart, which started circling the twelve boys. Eris and the Cragsters watched in awe as the titans and the Nega Titans had become Harmony infused, and teleported out of the reactor core. Space Colony ARK observation deck 1: 8: 54 AM Collision Time: 11 Minutes, 25 Seconds "That thing's the prototype?!" Ashley cried, as she and the others saw the monstrosity. "It sure is persistent," Rainbow commented, as they all heard a warp sound. Turning, they saw Harmony Silver. "Big Brother?" Heaven asked, worried about the entire situation. "Don't worry sis, we're going to make sure everything is alright," Silver said, ruffling Heaven's hair, as he teleported away.
