//------------------------------// // Chapter 3 // Story: My Little Pony X Bionicle // by GundamBrony //------------------------------// As the sun rise up, the citizens Canterlot begin do their daily rich lifestyle. Shops and events were opened and packed as usual, rich ponies strolling around the town. But as their eyes turned to the group of ponies they knew, each of them move out of the way as Royal Guards on carriages, holding six unidentified figures with chains on their wrists and weapons stored on the side as well as masks removed from their faces. To their eyes, those six are like bio-mechanical beings as one glance as they can see gears on their bodies but also organic into the mix. The Mane 6 told Shining Armor about the arrival of five skeletal beings, possibly reanimated by a foreign dark magic trying to steal the Elements from the Tree and the six figures also trying to stop them, also claiming the Elements as 'The Crystal Masks' as their Golden Masks reacted with the Elements, transforming them into six crystal masks and scattered across Equestria. Even with the remaining magic on the Tree, the girls knew that without the Elements, Equestria will be into chaos. "So let me get this straight. Five skeletal creatures came out of nowhere trying to steal the Elements and the six warrior beings also came out of nowhere fighting against them and their 'Golden Masks' had some magical reaction with the Elements turning them into six crystal masks and scattered across Equestria?" Shining Armor said, picking up their explanation of the situation as the others nodded. "Yeah, it's like you seen in those of comics that Spike have." Rainbow said. "But it doesn't make sense, what happened to the Skeletal Creatures after the Elements were scattered?" Shining asked. "We don't know but, if had to guess, they retreated after the Elements were scattered across Equestria using the bright light as cover." Twilight deducted. "Oh, but Twilight, why do we need to put them in chains?" Fluttershy asked "They did saved us from those awful scary monsters." "I understand Fluttershy, but we don't know who or what those six beings are nor if they have any connections to the skeletal creatures." Twilight replied. "Yeah plus, their Golden Masks have scattered the Elements across Equestria!" Rainbow added, giving a small glare at the six Toa. Twilight nodded "Right and from what I can tell, their Golden Masks is likely to be made of pure gold plus with a powerful magic that nopony ever seen, not even Star-Swirl recorded of this. Until then, we going to need answer from them." All of them nodded as they almost reached to the gate of Canterlot Castle as the guards saluted them as they enter, hopefully to get the answer from last night. "Mmmmmmm.........." Tahu groaned as he move his head from side to side, then as his sense begin to come back, he felt some hard on where he was sleeping. Then he heard voices, that of his familiar siblings. He groaned in pain as he rub his head "Uggh.......what happen?" He asked, glancing around the room. "And I thought that Onua mostly deep-sleep a lot, fire spitter." Lewa commented. "You all right?" Onua asked as he lower his hand to Tahu, who gripped it and got up to his feet. "Yeah, I'm fine." he answered, then he felt something strange. His elemental powers were gone as when he tried to touch his mask, the only thing he can felt is his face and his weapons were missing. "What happened to our Golden Masks?! Did we lose it from the Skull Creatures?!" "Tahu, calm down," Gali voice soothe him a bit "We didn't lose our Golden Masks and our weapons." "It would seems that those six beings that we saved from the Skull Creatures are little bit.......wary of us." "So to take precaution, as they removed our masks and our weapons." Onua added. "And locked us in this prison-pit." Lewa moaned as the others look around at their cell cages. Tahu rushed to the cell's bar and tried to use his fire power, and, just as expected, not even a spark appeared. "Just what are you doing, Tahu?" Kopaka asked annoyed. "Simple, I'm trying to burn the bars out so we can get out and retrieve our Golden Masks and our weapons and - " Tahu's sentence was interrupted when Kopaka groaned. "And then cause more panicking around the species and make us the most wanted beings on their homeland? That's some plan you got smelt head." Kopaka commented which Tahu growled at him as both glare daggers at each other as they about to bash their heads out, but Onua picked their heads up. "C'mon, guys no fighting." he said as once their temper deceased, both were dropped on the floor. With that, they heard the wooden door open as multiple guards came to them with spears on their magical holds. "The Princesses wishes to see you six along with the Princess of Friendship and her friends." one of the guard said as they opened, they immediately cuffed the Toa's wrists much to Tahu's annoyance and they followed them to the throne room. As the guards opened the two massive doors, the Toa widened their eyes at this sight. In Okoto, they only seen temples in ancient writings and old but in this place, the throne room was with majestic and mystical feel on this place. In the throne room, the Toa saw the six ponies from before, two guards, and two larger ones, one who's coat was white with wings and horns and a majestic rainbow like mane consist of light cerulean, light turquoise, and a pale heliotrope. The other one, a being smaller than the white one who was similar only with wings and horns. Her coat was a dark blue, and her mane and tail flowed with colors that reassemble the night skies. "Thank you, very much. We'll handle the rest here." the regal white pony said as the guards bowed to her and leave the throne room. To the Toa, it appeared that they are the rulers of this place. She turned to the Toa as she spoke in a guardian like tone "Greetings, I'm Princess Celestia, the co-ruler of Equestria and this is my sister, Princess Luna. May I ask what are your names?" The Toa look at each other as with the others nodded, Gali decide to speak to them "I'm Gali, the Master of Water. And these are my brothers, Onua, Master of Earth, Lewa, Master of Jungle, Kopaka, Master of Ice, Pohatu, Master of Stone, and Tahu, Master of Fire." "Wired names you guys got." Rainbow commented as Applejack gave her a disapproving look, and a swift kick on her left front hoof. "Rainbow, these fellers saved us from those skeletal varmints! At least show em' some respect." She said, as Rainbow Dash held her front hoof. Twilight begin to speak "I want to thank you and your brothers for saving us from those skeletal beings. Sadly that the Elements was scattered upon the contact of your Golden Masks." "Speak of which," Lewa asked "Where are our Golden Masks?" "Do not fret, the Golden Masks is safe with Twilight. She was curious of the magical powers of the Masks for we haven't encounter anything like that in Equestria." Celestia pointed as she nodded. The Toa share confusing glance at each other. Equestria? Is this the world that they arrived in? It's something that sounded weird on the tongue. "Right I forgot the introduction. You already known me as Twilight Sparkle and this is my assistant, Spike," Spike waved his hand at them nervously "and these are my friends, Rainbow Dash," "Hey " the cyan pegasus waved. "Applejack," "Howdy y'all." Applejack greeted them. "Rarity," "Pleasure to meet you, darlings." Rarity whipped her mane. "Fluttershy," "Nice to meet you six" she whispered silently, which the Toa can barely hear. "and - " A pink blur dash to them as Pinkie gave them a wildest grin caught the Toa by surprise "Hi there, I'm Pinkie Pie! It's so nice to meet you six! I never seen you and your brothers before with those awesome weapons and shiny golden masks! Also thank you for saving us for those nasty skeletal meanies! So what are you guys are aliens? *gasp* that means that you come here to invade our world?! No you guys saved us so you must be friendly! I can't wait for everypony to meet you six! I can throw 'Welcome to Equestria and Thank you for Saving us from those evil skeletal figures!' Party! " "And I thought Lewa talks a lot." Tahu whispered to Kopaka. "You said it." Kopaka agreeing with him which is strange since that this is the first time he's agreeing with him. "I like that pony." Lewa grinned at her antics which Gali and Pohatu rolled their eyes. "Sorry about my friend Pinkie. She's very..........energetic." Twilight apologized. "Similar to Toa Lewa, yeah we get that a lot." Tahu respond. Then Princess Luna caught their attention "So tell me, where you six came from and why you come to Equestria?" Onua decide to speak "We, the Toa, come from the island of Okoto, summoned by the Protectors, on a quest to find six golden masks, fight a rising force of darkness and find the legendary mask maker, Ekimu and the Mask of Creation." "Ekimu?! You know him?" Princess Celestia was surprised at this. These 'Toa' know one of their old friend Ekimu? "Who's Ekimu, Princess Celestia?" Twilight asked. "Twilight, remember that me and Luna sealed Tierk before?" she nodded "Well to tell the truth, before that happen, King Bullion and Princess Platinum made a friend by a mask maker, Ekimu. And when Lord Tierk came to Equestria, Ekimu assisted us in the shadow as he use six crystal masks to banish him to Tartarus, along with our alicorn magic." "WHAT?!" all of the ponies gasped in surprised at this. This Ekimu character came to Equestria and befriended two important ponies from the pre history and assisted Princess Celestia and Princess Luna? Even the Toa were surprised at this information that the ponies explained. How come the Protectors didn't tell this? "If you can let us tell you more about him, then can you do that without any interruptions?" Tahu growled which the others nodded, though Fluttershy hidden behind Rarity. "Anyway, Ekimu live in Okoto with his brother, Makuta, who had the Mask of Control as they provided the villagers with each Masks of Powers however, the villagers begin to treasure Ekimu's masks more than Makuta, resulting him in his jealous. As a result, he broke a scarred law of masks powers not have more than one element to forge the Mask of Ultimate Control. Once he donned, it took control over him as it shaken the island and crumble until Ekimu able to remove the mask from his face but as a result, a shockwave flew through the island and send both brothers into a deep sleep and scattered the three ancient masks across the island. Since then we were summoned by the Protectors to go on a quest to find six Golden Masks from each of their respective shrines, fight off evil Skull Spiders, creatures that attacking the villagers and enter the City of the Mask Maker to find the tomb that Ekimu was rested and find the Mask of Creation. So far, we encounter the skeletal creatures that reanimated by Kulta, the Skull Grinder with his dark magic who plans to destroy the Masks of Power as now they apparently bent on a search to find six crystal masks that Ekimu hiding in this world that could be the key of awakening him but also we need to find six Harmonics who represent the crystal masks and find these masks to continue our quest." The ponies were speechless at this. These six heroes were on a quest to stop a rising evil that threaten their homeland. It's the reason why those visions showed them from last night. It was to tell them that a rising evil is threaten not only Okoto but also Equestria. As for the princesses, they never knew that Ekimu and Makuta went to a similar path like Celestia and Luna did a few year ago. "Golly, I never you six who have this kind of danger in your island." Applejack commented. "Is that the reason why you came to Equestria?" Fluttershy asked which they nodded. "If we're done talking, we best be on our way to resume our quest." Tahu said "So if can give us our Golden Masks and our tools, we'll be on our way." "Don't you know where the Crystal Masks are?" Kopaka narrow his eyes at him as Tahu trying to think, to which he shook his head, as the other Toa gave an exasperated sigh. "Forgetful as usual, fire spitter." the master of ice commented as Tahu glare at him. "Says the one who badly poor at directions when we're at the forest, Frosty." Kopka glares at Tahu, which got into his eye level. "Do. Not. Call. Me. Frosty." The ponies watches them bicker at each other as Spike whispered to Applejack "Don't you think this Tahu guy remind you of somepony?" "Oh, we already know." she smirked as they glance at Rainbow, who was confused at their statement. "Brothers, remember we need to be united." Onua got into front of them. After a while, they calmed down. "You two are loud enough to make a scene." Pohatu told them, annoyed as both of them begin to glare at him. Then something that clicked Applejack's mind "Wait, what the hay are the Harmonics?" To the girls, it sounds so familiar to them. "We don't know, but our vision from Ekimu told us that the Harmonics are like this world's Toa who knows how to use the Crystal Masks." Gail replied "The only clue is that each of them have their markings on them representing them." "Markings?" Fluttershy asked. "Well, we can show if you had something to draw with?" Princess Celestia levitate a scroll and a jar of ink with a feather to them as despite of the handcuffs on her, Gali able to draw what they look like. The girls and the princesses were in total shock at what the Harmonics look like...... "That's our cutie marks." Rarity said. "Cutie marks?" all of the Toa asked in the same response. "Yes, it represent the essential of the ponies' talents and their skills." Twilight explained as the girls showed their respective cutie marks which the Toa widened their eyes in surprise. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, what?!" Lewa was baffled at this. "You girls are the Harmonics that we search-find for our quest?!" The girls slowly nodded. This is crazy and unreal. The girls faced against magical creatures, end of Equestria, all kinds of stuff. But for them to be the part of the prophecy from another world to save both from a uprising darkness, that's taking too much for the girls to handle. Just as they going to ask more question, the door burst open as a Royal Guard rushes to the Princess. "Your Majesties!" "What's going on?" Princess Celestia asked "Why did you disturbed our interrogations?" "Forgive me, your majesty but we got reports that a massive army is approaching Ponyville, heading straight towards Canterlot Castle!" All of them widened their eyes in shocked. "An army? What kind?" Luna asked. "That's just it. We were invading by spider like creatures! And every time our guards trying to fight them, they pry off their helmets and latched onto their faces, controlling them in the process!" "Skull Spiders!" Tahu growled as the ponies glance at them. "You know those pest things?" Applejack asked which they nodded. "Those things came from Okoto too. They were the enemies that we faced when we summoned by the Protectors and known to be controlled by the Lord of the Skull Spiders that we defeated it when we enter the bridge of the Ancient City of the Mask Makers." "But how can those thing be here in Equestria if they originated in Okoto?" Twilight asked which the other Toa looked away, unable to find a answer. "In any case, we need to stop those army before they reached into the castle of Canterlot." Princess Celestia said as Shining Armor salute and he and the Royal Guards headed out of the throne room. "Allow us to help you in fighting off the Skull Spiders, Princesses." Onua said as the Toa looked at him incredulous including the ponies. "Your army might not handle the vast numbers of them, even with the Harmonics' side, but we can united our strengths in defeating them. However, we must regain our Golden Masks back along with our weapons." The Toa at first were uncertain of this, consider that their quests is more important however they need the Harmonics and the Crystal Masks to save Okoto and theirs, they must help them consider that they brought their battles into their world. As for the ponies, each of them looked at each other first but Princess Celestia sighed, knowing that the Toa saved the Mane 6, as she unlocked their handcuffs. The Toa stand up and rub their hands. "Follow me." Twilight said as the Toa follow her to her temporary home quarter as on the desk, the Golden Masks along with their weapons as the Toa wore their respective masks as the girls were amazed as their respective aura of their elements course through them along with their weapons too. "We need to hurry. Your Shining Armor and the others can't handle the Skull Spiders much that longer." Pohatu said as the girls nodded as before they headed out, they heard lots of commotions as all of the six heroes glance at the window at this sight : four legged creatures were marching towards anypony as everypony in Canterlot were screaming and running away from them. To their horror sight, some of the Skull Spiders jump behind some of the pony's back and latched on their faces as the ponies tried to remove them until their eyes glow in deep red, assimilated to the army. "Oh no, they coming in fast!" Pinkie exclaimed as Tahu open the window and climb on the ledge. "What the hay are you doing?!" Applejack asked as Tahu just jump out of the window as he got his lava board, a torrent of fire appeared as he suffered towards the battlefield. "He's being reckless as usual." Kopaka groaned "Still the army is coming fast, so we got no choice. You six stay put." With that, all of the Toa jump out of the window with their respective elements coming into as Onua smashing towards the window and landed on the ground while the Mane 6 looked incredulously. "Hey, you break it, you buy it!" Pinkie shouted. As Tahu suffered in the torrent of fire, he pulled his golden swords as the spiders take glance and jump towards him which he swing at them while giving them roundhouse kick as the torrent fire flow high as on air, he jump as he put his swords on the back and split his lava board into Fire Blades and slammed on the ground, knocking the skull spiders and the infected ponies away. Then he got into his battle stance as all of the Skull Spiders leap towards him as he spin around knocking them away as the infected ponies charging at him as Tahu jump away as while he squashed two of them on his foot, his body covered in red aura as he dash towards the infected ponies, knocking the Skull Spiders masks from their faces. "Uggh, what the hay?" one of the victims shook his head. " Ohhhhh, my head............" another moaned as Tahu rushed towards them. "Get to the castle right now!" The ponies widened their eyes at him then the army as each of them rushed out of the battlefield as once they left, he turned back to the army and prepare his sword. Just then a ice shot froze half of them as he glance up in the sky and saw Kopaka made a icicle track as he ski through the loop, his skis turned into shield as he point his staff, freezing the spiders. He landed behind his brother "You always had to charge through without any plan do you, brother. Always!" "Hey, it's just me." Tahu smirked as both kept whack and slammed their weapons at the army of Skull Spiders. So far, when 5 more were knock out, 10 more kept coming and so forth. Then a Royal Guard charging through the army as while he swung his sword, more begin dog-pile him as Tahu growled as he rushed towards it and unleash a wave of fire on the Skull Spiders, freeing him. Then Kopaka use his Frost Shield as a bubble shield conjured as he point his staff as ice energies course through it as he swung at the aggressive species. "Are you okay?" Tahu knee down to their level, checking on the Royal Guard pony. He was a orange pegasus with a blue mane and a cutie mark of a shield with a lighting bolt on the middle. "Yeah, I'm fine." the orange pegasus nodded at this sight as he struggle to get up. "Can you fly?" Tahu asked as the orange pegasus trying to flap his wing but fall on the ground and grunted in pain. "My wings.......it hurts......" "Tahu, my shield won't last long-" At Kopaka's last statement, the bubble shield dissipated as the Skull Spiders leap towards them until a huge tidal wave crash towards them and half of them were absorbed by the tide. Then a boomerang was thrown and hit half of them along with a violent shaking from the ground causing the spiders to fall on the crack gorge and finally a green vine was grown and smack the spiders away. The two glance as Gali, Pohatu, Onua, and Lewa came to their side "About time you guys showed up." "Well, we have a very tight schedule on our hands." Gali joked as the others gave odd glance which she groaned. Then more Skull Spiders and more infected ponies begin marching towards as each of the Toa prepare their weapons. Tahu then glance at injured Royal Guard as he glance at the squadron of the Royal Guards with Shining Armor leading them as they use their magic, spears, and swords to fend them off but so far they aren't faring well at this. "Toa! Clear a path! We must bring that pony to the others!" The Toa nodded as they used their elemental powers to sweep them away as the orange pegasus, now gripping onto his twin golden swords, hang tight as Tahu use his elemental powers as he dash at them while attacking them. For the orange pegasus, when the fire element course through the Master of Fire, he somehow didn't felt a singe upon contact. Unbelievable..........the orange pegasus thought as he saw Shining Armor struggling towards the massive army now surrounded him and his stallion. "Oh no, Captain!" he shouted at this sight. "We'll make it through your friends. Just hang tight!" Tahu reassure him as he nodded, while Pohatu and Gali combine their elemental powers, creating a large tidal wave and Onua split his Earthquake Hammer into Turbo Shovelers and slammed both, doing a Thunder Clap along with Lewa swoop down, knocking them away, the Toa finally made to Shining Armor and his squadron as the orange pegasus let go of him. "Flash, are you all right?" Shining asked which he nodded as he widened his eyes at the Toa coming to their rescue but holds his suspicious look "Why you six are here?" "The same reason why the Skull Spiders came to this world." Onua said while smack them away "Princess Celestia allow us to help you and your Royal Guards in fighting off the Skull Spiders." "We can handle them just fine without you six." Shining Armor knocked another away. Surely that he knows that the Royal Guards can handle a massive army of spiders . "Doesn't like your comrades think the same. Let's us help with this." Pohatu throw his Stomerangs while conjured a tornado and blow them away while pointed to the guards being tired as Lewa sprint at them cleave at them. As much as Shining Armor want to argue, he had at least give them a chance consider how they save his little sister and his friends from the Skull Army as he nodded then the Toa and the Royal Guards prepare for another wave of them. Meanwhile, Twilight and her friends fend off the remain Skull Spiders that manage to get inside the interior as Twilight blast them away with her alicorn magic while Rainbow zip through and smack them from the wall while Pinkie Pie fire her party cannon trapped them in a sticky batter or caught by her cake batter. For Rarity she caught them through her magic and tossed them away while Applejack buck them as for Fluttershy, well, she hidden behind the castle, terrified of them. But when she saw Applejack being dog-pile by them, her shy and meek self turned into anger as she gave them the traditional 'The Stare' which they frozen upon looking at them giving Applejack to counterattack. "You know I should brought a big o' bug spray just in case of this!" Applejack said while using her lasso as it caught them, she twirled around and send them to the open window. "I don't think a regular bug spray would work on them, Applejack!" Twilight shot another bolt of magic at them which more kept coming as she fire a huge magic beam on them. "Twilight, help!" she whipped her head to see Spike being dog-piled by the Skull Spiders as she blasted them away, freeing him. "Thanks Twilight." he said as use a broom from the floor and smack them away. "You know, those Skull Spiders things are really persistent! And annoying!" he said as he blow his emerald fire on them, scorching them in the process. Rainbow zip across the interior and saw more leaping towards her, preparing to control her until she punch and kick them away "For evil spiders that came from another world, those things are too easy to squish them!" She shouted. "Ugh, spiders! Why does it has to be spiders! I can't stand them!" Rarity said in disgust as she levitated and fling them away in the open window. Then the girls saw 5 citizen ponies under the influence of the Skull Spiders as with their faces glow red, they charging at them only for Twilight to use her spell and freeze them, giving Rainbow and Applejack to buck the skull spiders off of their faces, freeing them from control. "My head........" "How did I........." "Listen everypony, you need to get to the safe room from bellow the castle!" With a nodded from them, they all hurried to the safe room once they got there safely, Twilight and her friends turned to the remaining Skull Spiders which a few are left. "Anyone of you bugs want some more?" Rainbow smacked her hooves as the Skull Spiders despite being afraid, charging at them, only for them to met the same fate as the rest of the others. "Should at least running away." Rainbow commented. Then a large 'boom' was heard as the girls hurried to the source and stop at the front and saw the Toa and the Royal Guards surrounded by the massive army of the Skull Spiders despite of their best effort to fight them. "Oh no, Shining Armor!" the alicorn princess shouted. "Even with the Toa's powers........." Fluttershy trembled at this sight. "What are we waiting for?! We can't sit there and do nothing! C'mon!" Rainbow shouted. "But Kopaka told us......." Twilight said before Rainbow interrupted her. "Listen, if we stay put, despite that icy Toa said to us, then we're all going to lose! Beside, they need help!" With that, Rainbow zoom into the battlefield. "She's right, gals!" Applejack said as she follow her in suite. The girls at first hesitated but knew that they need help, Twilight told Spike to stay with the Princesses as they stormed into the battlefield. As the Toa and the Royal Guards continue fighting against the massive army, more of the Skull Spiders kept coming with more numbers. Gali twirl around and conjured a massive water tornado, sweep them away while one of the Royal Guard fire his magic at them. Onua swing his massive Earthquake Hammer while Pohatu conjure his sandstorm tornado and threw his Stormerangs while two more Royal Guards thrust their spears at the spiders. Kopaka being a javelin user, thrust his Ice spear at them as when he saw more coming behind them, he slammed his Frost Shield and conjured a a massive icicle sphere. Lewa, on the other hand, soar into the sky and knock them while conjured another vine and whip them away. As for Tahu, he dash towards every one of the Skull Spiders, hack and slash in the process using his Fire Blades, and unleashing a torrent of fire waves on them while Shining Armor fire a wave magic at them. Shining Armor knee down, panting from the exhaustion of using his magic "I-I can't keep this up......." Even with the Toa kept fighting back, they too begin to feel tired as Kopaka and Pohatu knee down. "There's too many of them." the Toa of Stone grunted. "At this rate........" Kopaka glance at the growing army of Skull Spiders coming at them. "Toa! We can't give up! We had to keep fighting!" Tahu said, despite of him being tired. "But how, fire-spitter?! We can't keep this up for much longer!" Lewa asked. Just as the massive spiders lunge at them, a massive magic beam hit them as the Toa and the Royal Guards turned to the source and saw Twilight and her friends coming towards them while Rainbow swoop in and bash the spiders out while Applejack buck them away as they reached to them. "What are you six doing here? I though I told you-" Kopaka's sentence was interrupted as Rainbow jabbed his chest. "Uh-uh, no way you and your Toa pals aren't going to handle this even with the Royal Guards help! We're going to help you whenever you or your brothers and sister like or not!" "Listen, this is too dangerous for you six-" Pohatu's sentence also interrupted when Applejack spoke. "Hey, we been dealing with a embodiment of darkness, a spirit of chaos, a evil bug queens and her minions, a evil king, and a power mad centaur. So it's clear that you guys you need help!" Applejack using her rope and lassoed some of the spiders. "She's right brothers!" Gali said as the Toa glance at her sister, smack another one. "We going need every bit of help if we able to stop the Skull Spiders!" The Toa at first hesitated but nodded at them as they got back up and prepare another wave of Skull Spiders. As the Skull Spiders charging at them, Twilight fire a wave stream of magic at them while Kopaka unleash a blizzard storm from his spear and freeze them which he knee down, breathing heavily. "Your going to be okay?" Twilight asked. "I'll be fine." Kopaka coldly answered while struggle to get up. Pohatu swung his Stormerangs at them as he conjured his sandstorm while Applejack bucked them away using her hind legs. Then she saw the tail like spiders lunging at him as she caught them on her ropes, lasso them, and swing them away at the same time bucked the infected ponies off of the mask, freeing them. "Thanks Applejack." he quietly said without turning to her as she smirked at him. For Lewa and Pinkie, the Master of Jungle sweep down at them while the party pony fire her party cannon which fires another sticky batter which the spiders struggle to break free. "Whoa, where did you get that?" Lewa asked. "Duh! It's my Super-Duper-Extra-Stick-Bubble Gum - Batter. I always have plenty of them!" Pinkie piped. "No I mean the cannon thing!" "Oh! Well, I always have whenever I need it!" Pinkie said which Lewa flabbergasted at first but groaned and shrugged off, continue fighting the Skull Spiders. As for Rarity and Gali, the fashionista and the Master of Water use their magic/elements on them as Gali charge her element as she make a quick speed and twirl and swing her Elemental Trident as Rarity caught them on her magic and fling them away. She then saw a few more coming at her while distracted "Miss Rarity look out!" Rarity gasped as Gali charging in front and created a whirlpool as the spiders were caught onto it as she slammed her trident into the whirlpool, to which it exploded, washing the spiders and infected ponies away. "Oh thank you so much, darling." Rarity said as she nodded as they prepare for another wave. Onua slammed his Earthquake Hammer as upon impact, a web crack was seen on the ground as the spiders caught as the ground open, most of them fall down. As for Fluttershy, being timid and shy, usually ducked quickly and flew up in the sky as she saw the spiders and infected ponies lunged behind him as he tried to get off as he knee down while covering his mask from being removed. Seeing her friend in danger, her shyness once again turned into anger as she gave them 'The Stare' which once again frozen upon looking at them. Giving him time, he quickly turned his hammer into Tubro Shovelers, scoop them and do a thunder clap on them. "Are you okay, Mr. Onua?" Fluttershy asked as he nodded. "Thanks for saving me, Ms. Fluttershy. I really appreciate it." he said as she blushed a bit of his kind words. For Tahu, Master of Fire, he unleash the torrent of fire waves as he turned his Fire Blades into a Lava Surfboard as he surf across it while slash them using his Golden Swords while ramming them away. For Rainbow Dash, she zip across while ramming the spiders as she got to Tahu's speed. "Heh, not bad, you got some skills!" Tahu commented while kicking another one. "Same goes to you! How you able to surf on lava?" Rainbow asked "Won't you fall and burned if you make one mistake?" "Hey, if there's one thing you should learn, it's that you should never underestimate, the MASTER OF FIRE!!!!!" At his last comment he jump high as he once again split his Lava Surfboard into his Fire Swords and did a Fire Spin which burned through half of the spiders and knocking the infected ponies away. "Oh yeah?! If you so 'hot stuff', then watch this!" Rainbow smirked as she taken up into the skies as she zoomed down as with a great speed, a sonic boom was heard, leaving a rainbow trail and rammed them away. "Whoa! What in Okoto is that?!" Tahu exclaimed at this sight. "That my friend is a Sonic Rainboom!" Rainbow said with pride while puffed her chest proud which Tahu smirked at this "Remember that!" Suddenly, more Skull Spiders and more infected ponies kept coming as all of the Toa and the ponies backed away and being surrounded once again. "They just keep coming!" Pinkie said, feeling scared. "And there's no end to them." Twilight breath heavily while preparing her horn. "What are we going to do now?" Shining Armor said as Tahu grunted at this. Even with the strength of their elements and the ponies' magic, the Skull Spiders shows no end to them. It seems like this is the end for them. However, when Tahu glance at his siblings and the pony allies, something spark inside of him. Even he doesn't what it was, he knew that it could be the key of ending the battle once and for all. "Toa and Ponies! We must combine our elemental powers and magic!" Tahu shouted as everyone widened their eyes while shouting at the same time. "WHAT?!" Rainbow came to his face "Are you out of your mind dude?! We can't combine our magic with yours!" "Rainbow is right!" Twilight agreeing with her "We don't know what would cause if we do that! It could destroyed us all!" "We have no choice! Trust me on this!" Tahu argued as the Toa and Ponies weren't unsure of this but after a few moments, Kopaka nodded at this. "All right then." "Kopaka!" Twilight shouted. "Listen, unless we go with fire spitter's idea, then we all doom if we don't do this." the Master of Ice explained as he point his Ice Spear and channel his Ice element. Then Tahu channel his Fire elemental as the other Toa, still on the same boat, nodded as they channel their respective elements. Twilight and her friends weren't certain of this but see how the army coming with no end, they have no choice. Charging their respective elements, all of the Toa combine their elemental energies, placing their weapons on top of each other and the ponies channel their harmonic elements by touching their weapons unleash a huge rainbow like elemental blast and blow the Skull Spiders away as all of them were dissipate as the infected ponies woke up with no memories of what happen. After that, the Toa and the ponies saw the remains of the parasites now turned to ashes. They did it. Both the Toa and the ponies save Canterlot Castle. After a few silence, all of the Toa and the ponies cheered at their victory as they gave each other a hoof/clenched fist bump as all of them take the freed infected ponies to the medical bay.
