It is a hot day in the Equestrian wasteland. There doesn't appears to be anything for mile...the place is quiet...too quiet...
That is until something zooms overhead, screeching: a huge deadly flying mantis who is chasing down some creatures, ready to eat them. Twilight and her friends scream as they run off...alongside three humans and four robots, one of them is flying while filming apparently.
"AHHHHH! WE'RE DEAD IN THE DESERT!!!!" One of the robots, a gumball machine, exclaims frantically.
"It's a bug hunt, man, a bug hunt!" A golden robot whines a bit like mad.
"Rarity, look out!" Spike screams in alarm.
Rarity looks up, screaming as the Deadly Mantis flew down and is prepared to grab her...
Then the screen froze as we hear Pinkie's voice, "Hi there, folks! You're wondering why me and my friends are running from a huge bug in the desert...and who the funny humans and robots are."
We see an image of one human's face, looking liking freaked out and ugly. But then again, you would if you have to deal with a giant bug!
"Yep, some of us are wondering too. To help you folks get up to speed, let's go back to the beginning...to a certain time in Twilight Sparkle's age."
------------
It was years ago in Canterlot when Nightmare Moon was still trapped on the moon, the Elements of Harmony haven't been received yet...and a little filly unicorn is still trying to practice her power while under the tutorship of the most beautiful and wisest creature in Equestria.
Twilight of course is reading a book, looking through it curiously. It involves a book of prophecies and there's one in it that seems to satisfy her a bit.
"Twilight Sparkle?" A voice spoke up. The filly turns to see Celestia coming over, looking down at the filly (which is obvious because the Alicorn is huge). "May I ask what you're reading?"
"A book of prophecies. One of them confuses me." Twilight said in concern, looking through a book.
"Does it involve Nightmare Moon?"
"No. It's something called "The Fusing"."
"Oh, really?" Celestia ask, arching an eyebrow at this. "May I ask, what is it that confuses you about it?"
"This page: "One day, in an event like no other, beings from another world will come. But come their arrival, the separation of the Elements and the fusion of both worlds which will threaten the balance. Only the Elements could restore the balance"." Twilight explains as she reads through a page. "You think any of it is true, Princess Celestia?"
"I am not sure, my faithful student. Prophecies are known to happen or be stuff of legends. The fusing may happen, it may not. It depends on whatever or not they choose to happen."
"Like the legend involving Nightmare Moon? Is it real or stuff of legend?"
Celestia pauses and sighs secretly. The legend is indeed true: her sister Luna became Nightmare Moon long ago and was trapped on the moon since then. Legend said that the stars will help her escape. Celestia hopes that Twilight will make some new friends, get the Elements and free her sister from the bonds of the darkness and hatred.
"That will be spoken of for another time." Celestia said, nuzzling the little filly gently. "Come now, you got some studies to do."
Twilight nods as she puts the book of prophecies away. The filly follows the Alicorn to continue her studies, yet the prophecy involving "The Fusing" is in her mind. She wonders if it is true...and what would happened should the prophecy happen...
"Cute, but let's go to the present, shall we?"

In another dimension, we see a lot of monitors hanging around, but not one seemed to be interesting for our small watcher... instead, she would rather watch DVDs of an old show she liked.
"Man, what humor these robots brought!" The female voice said as she munched on some popcorn. "It does make me enjoy a few moments in life..."
It was then the mysterious figure turned and noticed one monitor. The mysterious figure smirked evilly. "Let's do a little mix-up once again... shall we?"
Mystery Pony Theater 3000
Prologue: A Crashing Arrival
It is another day at the home of Mike Nelson and his robot pals Crow T. Robot and Tom Servo. The trio has been living together ever since the Satellite of Love crash landed on Earth, plus allowing them all to escape Pearl Forrester as well as going through any more bad movies since then. Gypsy is the CEO of her own company but the friends do visit her every now and again.
The trio often sat on their butts, but Mike did do some work every now and again. Of course, they are bored...all the guys do every afternoon is watch movies, like Mike and his robot pals do every time the Mads or Pearl send them bad movies.
"Guys...I did some thinking." Mike said with a sigh to his friends.
"Mike thinking." Tom Servo remarks with a chuckle. "Watch out, he may explode."
"Very cute. Seriously, we have been being bored, sitting on our butts...well, you two mostly since I did work most of the day."
"Yeah, you keep on getting paid, we keep on eating and watching TV!" Crow exclaims happily, pointing at a bad performance on TV. "Oh bother. Look at that criminal on "World's Dumbest"! Pathetic."
"Guys, the only times we ever have excitement or do anything important is during our times on the Satellite of Love." Mike said with a sigh. "And I miss it."
"You actually missed watching bad films?! And being tormented by mad scientists, a crazy woman, a dumb monkey, and a brain guy nonstop?! Geez, no wonder you folks from Wisconsin are so clueless."
"Right, it makes me rethink living here, Mike." Tom Servo remarks, scoffing.
"All right, all right. Watching bad films wasn't a good idea. The point is, we have so many adventures in space. Down here on Earth, it's dull." Mike said with a frown. "With what's been happening, perhaps going back to an old environment would be useful."
"So what do you have in mind, Mike?" Crow ask the human as he got up, suspecting that Mike got some sort of idea for a change.
"I say we go up into space again...except this time, we choose the movies we wanna watch and go anywhere away from the planet. What do you guys say?"
"Yeah, all right! Road trip!" Tom Servo cheers on wildly, floating around with his hoverskirt.
"Yeah, I was getting bored watching this." Crow remarks in disgust as he clicks on the remote, shutting the TV off. "All we watched are "World's Dumbest" shows reruns. Good show but nothing new."
"Wait, Mike. How are we going to go up into space? We lost the Satellite of Love."
"I think Gypsy told us they got some project working at her company. Maybe we can talked her into lending us it." Mike said, rubbing his chin in thought. "In fact...I think of bringing in an "old friend" for old time's sake."
"Kim Cattrall?" Crow ask Mike with a grin.
"The Creepy Girl?!" Tom Servo ask, referring to the Creepy Girl from "Catalina Caper".
"Even better." Mike said with a chuckle, having something else in mind.
-------------------
Meanwhile, somewhere in a small house in the middle of Montana. An older woman with blonde hair, a smelly overcoat, tears that have had ruined make-up that seemed to have not been washed since... well, at least about six months ago. This woman was known as Pearl Forrester. And she had been quite an emotional wreck.
Oh, she had the best time of her life during her prime... taking over for her dead son's experiments, tormenting Mike and his friends whenever she needed to... and even made up some pretty good evil plans... even if some of them did blow up in her face sometimes... and while her sidekicks aren't much to talk about... she treated them with respect... most of the time.
Pearl groaned as she started to eat her ice cream up. Where did everything go wrong? How did one simple mistake on her end ended up in Mike Nelson's freedom? As much as she hated to admit it, at least her son wouldn't have made the same mistake...
Pearl then paused. Would it be good to bring Clayton back from the dead... again? She knew it wasn't worth the time to do so... but her actual interest in the experiments DID start the moment TV's Frank went into the Second Banana Heaven and she moved into Deep 13 with her son. She was with him for the experiments for at least a year before everything started to go awry... sure, Clayton Forrester died once, but came back to life as a Star Child, which Pearl did TRY to do so again... but that ultimately failed too and took over the experiments for herself... she paused as she smiled.
If it weren't for her son, she wouldn't have gotten so close to the experiment idea, forcing someone to go mad from watching bad movies, no matter what the outcome was... if only she had another chance to do that again...
Pearl slumped in her chair... she would never get that chance ever again...
Pearl then heard the slit of the mail slot opening as some letters dropped. She frowned as she got up. "Wonder what's the damage this time..."
Pearl got up as she picked up the mail, looking it over. She frowned as she looked at one letter, labeled, "ConGypsCo".
Looking at it nearly stabbed her heart. Yet another cold, heartless reminder that Mike and his robot friends were still on Earth...
She was about to throw it away... but then she noticed something interesting in that article... she looked closer at it.
Her eyes widened in shock... as she then smiled... her smile got bigger and bigger. She gave a big smirk as she pulled out her phone and dialed a number.
She waited for someone to answer as she heard the phone pick up. "Brain Guy? It's your old friend, Pearl!"
Pearl then frowned. "Yes, the woman that was with you back in the castle. What other Pearl Forrester do you know?"
Pearl then shook her head. "It doesn't matter. Could you find Bobo, pick him up, and come over here right away? There's something that should be of interest to all of you! Come over here as soon as you can!"
As Pearl hung up the phone, she tapped her foot as she looked at the clock. About a couple minutes later, a blue cloaked figure holding a blue brain in a pan, with a monkey in a suit, teleported in as the monkey asked, "LAWGIVER! It's been too long!"
"Is that soon enough, madam?" The cloaked figure asked.
"What kept you two?" Pearl frowned. "Bobo?"
The monkey, known as Professor Bobo, nodded.
"Brain Guy?" Pearl turned to Brain Guy.
"Yes, madam? You said you wanted to tell us something important?" Brain Guy asked.
"As a matter of fact, yes..." Pearl said as she pointed towards the ConGypsCo article. "If we play our cards right... we might be back in the evil business!"
Professor Bobo and Brain Guy started to smile as they examined the article. Brain Guy said, "You really think we can do this? It's been too long!"
"Exactly!" Pearl nodded. "After we shower, we're going to Minnesota and hijack the experiment!"
"Oh, that sounds like fun, Lawgiver!" Bobo smiled. "I've been wanting a road trip for so long!"
"The old gang is coming back together..." Brain Guy said as they hi-fived each other.
Little did they know that something big was about to happen...
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Around the same time, up in Second Banana Heaven, a man with white hair and a small white cloak was looking up at the sky as he seemed bored. Sure, being up in Second Banana Heaven was pretty fun, nothing so bad... the bowling was good, he had a chance to be a Soultaker each Thursday of the week, and best of all he had all the benefits of it...
And yet... he couldn't help but miss life on Earth. Sure, he felt happy here... but he really missed Mike, the robots, even Dr. Forrester himself. Sure, Dr. Forrester never treated him right, but they were pretty good friends... and from what he's heard from his mother, Pearl, he had died since then, and she took over the experiments, which weren't too bad.
Now, even though the man, known as TV's Frank, loved living in there, he missed life on Earth, he wanted another chance at it... and he really was curious about what is going on on Earth.
"HeLLo, FrAnK."
Frank looked up to see a satyr in a white outfit, a cowboy hat and a beard coming up. "Oh, hey Torgo."
Torgo, a man who had first seen work as a servant to Manos, but had since moved onto pizza delivery, then looking for jobs, and now another servant from the Second Banana Heaven, sat down next to Frank as he asked, "YoU sEeM pReTtY sAd."
"Yeah..." Frank sighed. "I guess I just miss life down on Earth... I mean, I think it’s okay, but sometimes, I just feel I'm needed down there... I miss looking over the experiments, even if I was a sidekick, I still love these experiments like there was no tomorrow!"
"Hmmm..." Torgo paused. "A verY uNuSuAl ThOuGhT, iNdEeD."
"Yeah..." Frank sighed. "I wish I could just go down and do that all over again."
"ThEn wHy DoN't YoU?" Torgo asked.
"Huh?" Frank asked.
"YoU cAn CoMe BaCk to LiFe aT aNyTiMe. YoU JuSt hAvE tO sAy wHeN." Torgo explained.
Frank's eyes widened. "I can do that?"
Torgo just nodded.
Frank smiled. "Wow... I never thought of it THAT way. Thanks, Torgo! I think I'm ready to go back to life now!"
Frank then started to run off into the distance as Torgo gave a smile, saying, "WeLl, mY wOrK hErE iS dOnE."
---------------------------------------------------------
Over near a newspaper stand, somewhere in Minnesota, TV's Frank appeared as he looked around, excited. He didn't know where to start. Curiously, he picked up a newspaper and noticed the headline 'ConGypsCo' running a new experiment'.
He read further as his eyebrow raised in curiosity. Why not? Maybe, just once, he'll have a look at this... if anything, it'll remind him of the old days...
Little did he know that he was about to get into a big mess over that day.
------------------------------------------------------
Somewhere in Gizmonic Institute, two scientists were busy trying to study the ruins of a certain satellite. One of the scientists, a man with stringy black hair, big glasses, and a black science coat. He is known as Dr. Laurence Erhardt, and believe it or not, he was actually one of the very first people that started out the experiments with Dr. Clayton Forrester himself. He, along with Forrester, were the ones who launched the first person, Joel Robinson, into space with the shuttle in the first place.
However, what Erhardt and Forrester didn't realize was that at the time, the Satellite of Love was considered private property, which could only be touched by the people who owned the satellite, and the janitors to clean it up. Joel just happened to be both of those qualifications when he and Dr. Forrester unleashed the Satellite of Love.
Sure, for about a year or so, Erhardt and Forrester worked together... but there were some people who got suspicious as Forrester ordered Dr. Erhardt to stay up in Gizmonic Institute and join the search, whilst giving the message that he had quit working for Gizmonic Institute, to throw off suspicion that it was them who stole the Satellite of Love, and to not stop until Dr. Forrester gave a certain signal. He had waited for the signal for at least nine or so years, and it never came... until the fateful day the Satellite of Love crashed onto Earth, which immediately set off red flags. He knew something happened, but he didn't know what, and so, he was currently investigating the satellite to see what happened and how Joel had escaped...
Working alongside him was one of the people responsible for the Satellite of Love's working parts, a young female scientist around thirty-four. She had brown hair, curled into a bun, a white lab coat with the symbolic green G around it, and black boots. Her eyes were a pretty deep hazel.
"Okay, I think I figured it out..." The girl scientist said as Dr. Erhardt yelped.
"Uh, yes?" Dr. Erhardt squeaked, nervously.
"Yep... whoever the saboteur was, after the tenth year, he definitely annihilated all the hard work I put into the ship, along with the other crew members!" The woman frowned. "But that should not matter... I will figure out the saboteur... for I, Dr. Tricia Leonard, will solve this case!"
Dr. Erhardt sighed in relief. Tricia was a little bit fun, yet she was very cocky and eccentric. He didn't understand why she acted like that at times. Maybe she had a bi-polar personality. "I'm sure we'll find him... or her..."
Dr. Erhardt had a big problem with this... he planned on framing Joel should he have ever found him, but the problem was, he didn't know where he was...
"Well, enough examination... let's see what's good on the news..." Tricia said as she picked up her newspaper and read it... then she raised an eyebrow and smiled. "Oh, hey! Seems a company is building something similar to the Satellite of Love..."
"So?" Dr. Erhardt said in confusion.
"Look who's manning this one..." Tricia said, pointing towards the article.
Curiously, Dr. Erhardt took the paper and read it... his eyes widened as he gave a smirk. He had him now... "Why don't we go there? We're fellow Gizmonic employees, we should support him!"
"Sounds good!" Tricia smiled. "We'll order the plane tickets right away!"
Dr. Erhardt gave a big smirk as he nodded. He had him now...
Little did both Tricia and Dr. Erhardt know that things were about to change that day...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Over at ConGypsCo, a purple robot with a silicone body was waiting as she saw three people approaching. Gypsy smiled as she saw Mike carrying Tom, with Crow following behind. "Hey, guys!"
"Gypsy!" Mike, Tom and Crow said in excitement as Tom said, "We really missed you, Gyps!"
"I missed you guys too." Gypsy smiled. "Anyway, I suppose you're all here to see my new project."
"Indeed we have!" Crow said as he looked around. "Say, is he here?"
"Already inside, just putting in the last touches!" Gypsy said. "He's excited to see you guys! Follow me!"
Tom, Crow and Mike cheered as they went inside, eagerly awaiting excitement...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Now you folks are probably wondering...where're the ponies? Isn't this a MST3K and MLP: FIM crossover? Well, let's leave the humans and go to Equestria, shall we?"
It is another morning in the world of Equestria. It seems like it's not too long ago hen an evil centaur named Tirek ripped through here, stealing the magic of every pony in Equestria, even the Alicorns aren't safe! Despite the odds, Twilight and her friends managed to unleash the Rainbow Power and use it send the monster back to Tartarus.
Not only that, Twilight and Spike went to the Human Realm once more to help her human friends there against the sirens, AKA the Dazzlings, and save the world. And now things are slowing down, the Council is in session once more...
"What a background, right folks? Equestria has been through worst and so did we. Now we're a council, preparing on helping Ponyville and spreading friendship throughout Equestria. And right before Season 5 would begin..."
"Pinkie, who the hay are you talking to?" Rainbow ask Pinkie who is speaking to the camera in the council room. "And what "Season 5"?"
"Oh, nothing." Pinkie said, giving out a happy squee. "Twilight, you were saying?"
Twilight, the Princess of Friendship, gave an odd look to Pinkie. She is used to her behavior as long as the mare knows her. The pony spoke, "Well, as you know, Equestria is now fully recovered from Tirek's assault. We're still trying to figure out as of what we must do."
"Well, so far, things has been slow lately, sugar cube." Applejack remarks, sitting in her chair. "So no need 'ta worry fer 'de future just yet."
"Right, you remember what happened the last time, right?" Spike reminds Twilight while reading a comic book of the future Twilight incident.
"I know, but we must not keep our guard down." Twilight said to Spike with a sigh. The mare left her chair so she heads to her balcony. "We can't make a mistake that could ruin Equestria."
"Wow, Twilight. You must be trying your best to do your new princess role, don't ya?"
"I don't know...I don't know why, but I feel like...something's coming...something big..."
"Oh dear. Something big?" Fluttershy ask nervously as she, the other members of the Mane Five and Spike left their chairs to come over to their leader. "How big?"
"It can't be anything we haven't deal with before, darling." Rarity said, waving off the concern. "We dealt with Nightmare Moon, Discord, the Changelings, Sombra, the plants, Tirek, and a lot more than we can shake a hoof at."
"Right. Whatever the threat we may be dealing with, egghead, we will kick their flanks!" Rainbow laughs as he threw her back feet into the air, making the others laugh. "It will be awesome!"
"Right, like JusSonic's series of fics with Ben, Nyx, Mystic Ponies, and other folks! I wonder if we could fit any of them in here." Pinkie said thoughtfully, making her friends give her an odd look.
Their pink friend can't be any weirder even if she tried!
-------------
Luna came into the throne room, yawning a bit. The Alicorn of the Night is not used to being up in the daytime, she is normally a night pony. The Alicorn saw her sister Celestia, looking up into the sky in concern.
"Sister." Luna said as she came over to Celesta with a concerned look. "Is there a problem?"
"The stars..." Celestia said as she looks up to the sky. Luna looks up and notices something odd in the sky.
"Odd...the last time these stars are like that is when I came back. What could it mean?"
"I don't know...I sense that something big's coming...something's bigger than everything Equestria has deal with before."
"I know, I can sense it too." Luna said, shivering a bit. The Alicorn pauses, then spoke up, "Does it involve called "The Fusing"?"
"I hope not. I told Twilight not to worry about that prophecy long ago. But this may be the case." Celestia said seriously to Luna.
The two Alicorns look at each other and look upward. Whatever is coming...it may be coming without warning!
------------
"While the Alicorns were busy, concerned over what may be coming, back in the world of humans, a reunion is about to get under way!"
In another room, which looks like a fish shop, a sleepy-eyed guy wearing a red suit that has the name of "Gizmonics", his former work place, doing some work. Just then, he hears familiar voices.
"Joel!" Two familiar robots exclaims as they rush over to hug their inventors.
"Guys!" Joel smiled as he saw Mike and his robot friends coming inside into his fish shop.
"Wait, wait, fish shop? I think Jus borrowed this from the trailer. It looks like a fish shop, folks."
"Joel! It's great to see ya!" Tom Servo laughs happily as he lets go. "Man, I wish my arms would work."
"Joel, man, we missed ya!" Crow exclaims with a smile.
"Yeah, I've heard Mrs. Forrester went and freed you guys." Joel remarks with a chuckle. "Ironic. Dr. Forrester tried to kill you three years ago but you guys got freed instead. And Mrs. Forrester tried the same thing, but it happened again."
"Yeah, like mother, like son. Think about it, won't you?"
"So how's the fish shop business going?" Mike ask Joel with a grin.
"Oh, things has been a bit...slow." Joel remarks with a chuckle. "Better than what I used to though. So how are things?"
"Oh, we're living in apartment since our escape...we did a lot of work for Rifftrax on the side, commenting on movies at large."
"Oh, even when you escape from doing bad movies, you're still doing what we loved to do much, eh?"
"Yeah, something like that." Mike remarks with a sheepish chuckle. "I do some movies solo, but I get guest-stars and these two chuckle heads help out. Of course, I have to call them "Kevin" and "Bill" for their safety."
"Yeah, as if we're named that in real life, Nelson." Tom Servo remarks with a scoff.
"And of course, we only sold the audio of our comments online to our fans due to the fact that most of the movies we did not in public domain."
"Sucks, I know. We did made some DVDs in the public domain, though." Crow remarks with a smirk. "We got a lot of money from our smart ass remarks too!"
"We did short work for "The Film Crew" though the camera crew edited out Crow and Bill's appearance so humans would be the one commenting with me." Mike remarks with a smile, recalling his and the robots' brief work on "The Film Crew".
"You know what's funny? I did something like that called "Cinematic Titanic" with a lot of people too." Joel said, recalling something else he did similar to what his pals had done.
"Really, Joel?" Crow ask his inventor hopefully.
"Yeah, it's an experiment for some unknown (possibly shadowy) corporation or military force."
"Oh, like what Dr. Forrester once did to us." Tom remarks with a frown. Typical! Even when Joel escaped, he still do bad movies for another organization.
"Oh, we escaped at some point, but I will give you the DVDs of our experiments if you wanna watch them." Joel pauses, then gave out a chuckle. "You know what's weird? The people I worked with on those experiments looked oddly like Dr. Forrester, his mother, Dr. Erhardt and TV's Frank."
"Hey, what's the odds of that happening?" Crow ask in amazement.
"Well, now that our background is settled, what's the idea for this reunion?"
"Oh, we decided to go back into space in Gypsy's project and watch movies that we choose. You know, going back into an old environment." Mike explains to Joel of his idea.
"Really? Well, after my Cinematic Titanic experiments and how slow the fish shop business is, I could go back to old basics." Joel said thoughtfully as the humans and robots leave the room. "But what about Rifftrax?"
"Oh, no problem. I will tell my bosses that the bots and I are going on a road trip. They will just send us the movies via internet so we can still work on those. Now we need Gypsy's project."
"Here it is, fellows!" Gypsy exclaims proudly as she goes over to a window that shows another room where the project is almost completed.
The humans and other two robots looks amazed as they saw what the project is: a lookalike of the Satellite of Love!
"Gypsy, how did you remake the Satellite of Love?" Tom Servo ask Gypsy in excitement.
"The Nanites survived the crash and they have been working with me on this for months now!" Gypsy explains proudly. "It is about done..." A click is heard. "Oh well, now it's done. To be honest, I just gave them the paperwork before you guys show up. They are fast!"
"Well, why didn't you tell them to do that a long time ago?" Joel ask Gypsy curiously.
"Simple. They don't go to a job without a work order." Mike explains, recalling that he asked the Nanites that same question when Mike and the robots were escaping the destruction of the Planet of the Apes (due to Mike stupidly helping out with a nuclear bomb).
"Oh, well, that makes sense. So when are we ready to leave?"
"Oh, as soon as possible." Gypsy explains to her creator proudly.
"Road trip! WOOOOOOO!!!" Crow and Tom Servo laughs madly. They can't wait!
----------------
Inside the entrance to ConGypsCo, Pearl, Bobo, and Brain Guy (after Pearl got into her regular attire, clean and fresher than ever) suddenly appeared as Brain Guy gave a smirk. "Okay, Pearl, we're here."
Pearl looked up at the sign that said, "CONGYPSCO, also check out "Joel's Hot Fish Shop", expanded from Osseo". "Well, you're right, Brain Guy. This is the place. Think you can locate Mike and the bots and where they are now?"
"Let me try, madam." Brain Guy said as he did his usual thinking stance as a sound effect of him using his brain was heard. Brain Guy smiled. "Ah, yes, as a matter of fact, they are, in fact, located on the Satellite of Love, along with the purple robot, and the guy in the red jumpsuit."
Pearl smiled. "So, Joel is here too, huh? Interesting... never HAD two test subjects before... and my son's FIRST human test subject, no less!"
Pearl smirked as she nodded. "Okay, Brain Guy, just teleport us to the switch and we'll be good as golden!"
Brain Guy nodded. "Right away, Pearl!"
"Think we can stop for ice cream on the way? I'm starving after that long trip!" Bobo smiled, stupidly.
Pearl and Brain Guy just rolled their eyes as Brain Guy did his usual thinking stance as he teleported them off...
-----------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, near the entrance to the room where the second Satellite of Love is, TV's Frank was peeking his head in as he started to call out. "Hello? Is anybody home?"
TV's Frank looked around as he paused. "Guess nobody's here..."
TV's Frank then noticed the satellite in the room as he gasped. "No way... the Satellite of Love in here? What a likeness!"
TV's Frank paused as he said, "Hmmm... I always was curious what it looked like on the inside..."
TV's Frank then started to go inside the ship to explore it...
Just as Frank had entered inside the ship, out of curiosity, Joel, Mike, Tom, Crow and Gypsy had came in the room as Joel was bringing in an upgraded floating camera.
"Glad to see Cambot back in action. He truly needed a little upgrade." Joel smiled.
"Yeah..." Mike nodded. "Well, it's a good thing you decided to upgrade Cambot... I'm sure he really needed it..."
"Yeah, the new camera installment was exactly what he needed." Joel said. "Plus, it came with free Wi-Fi."
"Nice!" Crow smiled as Cambot provided an image of a computer server. "Finally, fast speed internet! No more dial-up for us, huh, Servo?"
"Indeed..." Tom nodded. "Okay, Mike, what say we go exploring our new Satellite, hm?"
"Sure thing." Mike said as he, Crow, Tom, Gypsy and Cambot entered. "Coming in, Joel?"
"I'll catch up with you guys. Just need to put in one more installment in the ship and we'll be good..." Joel said as Mike and his robots friends entered the ship.
Joel nodded as he decided to put in the final installment...
"Joel! It's been too long!"
Joel raised his head in curiosity as he turned to see a new woman in a Gizmonics suit coming in. Joel raised an eyebrow. "Do I know you?"
"Maybe not for long, but we were fellow employees in the same company." The girl explained. "Gizmonic Institute, I'm pretty sure you've heard of the place."
Joel nodded. "Indeed, I was a janitor slash inventor over there."
"My name is Tricia, Tricia Leonard." Tricia shook Joel's hand. "Pleasure to meet you for the... I want to say third time, but let's just say first time."
"Very well, Miss Leonard." Joel nodded. "What brings you all the way over here?"
"Well, I read on the news that you were helping ConGypsCo out with a new invention, and I was curious to see what it is..." Tricia looked up and smiled. "I see it doesn't disappoint. Looks almost like the ship that was stolen ten years ago..."
Joel paused. "You could say that, yes. It's actually a working replica of the Satellite of Love. I don't know what we're officially naming it, but I'm thinking Satellite of Love II."
"Hm..." Tricia shrugged. "It's all right. Not too shabby. Anyway, Joel, why don't you show me around? I'm rather curious about your project."
Joel smiled. "Certainly, though it's not entirely my idea. You see..."
As Joel and Tricia entered inside the ship, about a moment later, Dr. Erhardt had arrived. "Tricia, Tricia? Goddammit, the girl always runs off even when I go to the bathroom! Nice mints, though..."
Dr. Erhardt's eyes widened as he looked in surprise. "What's this? Another Satellite of Love? Now, I'm curious..."
Dr. Erhardt started walking inside the ship, wondering what wonders would await them...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inside a room where a couple of buttons were, Pearl, Bobo and Brain Guy had appeared as Pearl smiled, looking at the buttons.
"Hmmm... two buttons... one of them obviously ready for launch!" Pearl smirked as she pushed the button, leading a countdown timer turning on and ticking for one minute.
"And we are good to go!" Pearl smiled as Bobo and Brain Guy smiled.
"This is going to be so much fun, huh, Lawgiver?" Bobo smiled.
"It's been too long, Bobo..." Pearl said as she then heard humming. "Uh, Brain Guy, what did I tell you about humming?"
"That's not me." Brain Guy said.
Pearl's eyes widened as she yelped. "Act scarse!"
Brain Guy, Bobo and Pearl then started to hide, as Bobo just put a lampshade on his head, Brain Guy posed in front of a painting as if to blend in, and Pearl was hiding in a nearby bush growing inside, keeping an eye out.
To their relief... and surprise, TV's Frank was seen coming in as he looked around. "Hmmm... interesting."
"Frank?" Pearl said as she looked out.
TV's Frank turned in shock to see a familiar person. "Pearl Forrester, is that you?"
---------------------------------------------------------------
Mike, Tom, Gypsy, Crow and Cambot were now exploring the main deck as Mike smiled. "You even got the deck down to an exact T!"
"What can I say?" Gypsy asked. "The Nanites are fast workers..."
"Yeah!" Crow smiled. "I can't wait to go kick back and relax in my room..."
"I can't WAIT to go back to cloning myself for more fun!" Tom laughed.
"And I have to say, I can't wait to see what our first movie will be!" Mike smiled. "I was thinking, how about 'Daredevil'?"
"I was thinking more 'Ghost Dad'." Crow smiled.
"How about the first live action Michael Bay Transformers movie? That DESERVES a riffing!" Tom said.
"Well, I'm sure whatever movie will be fi-" Mike stopped as he noticed the timer on forty-five seconds. "Gypsy, is that clock supposed to go down?"
"I don't think so..." Gypsy said. "I didn't even push the button to launch us..."
Mike, Tom and Crow looked at each other in worry as Tom said, "Something's wrong! We need to get out of here!"
"JOEL!" Crow yelled as everyone started to run out.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the hallway of the Satellite of Love, Joel and Tricia were walking as Tricia said, "Wow, Joel, I can't wait to tell the other Gizmonic employees how fast you're going up in the world! Shame the first Satellite of Love blew up."
"Yeah, it was sad, indeed..." Joel said...
"We're still trying to find the culprits who were responsible for stealing the ship in the first place, but whoever it is, sure is malicious about it!" Tricia frowned, "Me and Dr. Erhardt are currently on the case!"
Joel stopped in his tracks. "Wait... Dr. Erhardt, as in Doctor LAURENCE Erhardt?"
"Yep!" Tricia nodded. "Together, me and him are going to find out who stole the first Satellite of Love, and destroyed it after ten years!"
Joel paused. "Tricia, I think there's something you need to know about what happened with the theft of the Satellite of Love. You see..."
"Tricia, finally..."
Joel stopped a little as Tricia smiled at Dr. Erhardt, just arriving. "Finally, Dr. Erhardt, you catch up!"
"Hi, Larry." Joel waved nervously.
"Joel..." Dr. Erhardt smiled wickedly. "Oh, Tricia, I found the culprit of who stole the Satellite of Love?"
"Is he here?" Tricia said in shock, eyes narrowing.
"As a matter of fact, he's in the exact same ship we are!" Dr. Erhardt smiled, looking straight at Joel.
--------------------------------------------------------------
"What are you doing here, Frank?" Pearl smiled, glad to see Frank again as Bobo and Brain Guy greeted him warmly. "Aren't you a Soultaker now? And dead?"
"Well, I retired from Soultaker... and I requested to come back to life, so I'm living flesh and blood again!" TV's Frank smiled.
"That's great to hear, Frank!" Pearl smiled. "Hey, would you like to join me and my lackeys in an attempt to get Joel, Mike and his robots up in space? Forcing them to watch more bad movies?"
"Sure! I need a little pick-me-up after coming back to life!" TV's Frank smiled as Bobo curiously looked at the control panel. He then pressed the second button as Frank asked, "So, once we get out of the Satellite of Love, where do we find the control panel?"
That stopped Pearl as she frowned. "The control panel's right here. What do you mean we're in the Satellite of Lo-"
Pearl's eyes widened as she turned to Brain Guy. "Brain Guy, get us all out of here."
"Right away, madam." Brain Guy said as he tried to use his brain powers... but they seemed to be stuck in the same position. "Something's wrong, madam, the brainwaves seems to not work."
"Well, TRY, IDIOT!" Pearl frowned as she tugged on Brain Guys' cloak.
"Okay, okay..." Brain Guy choked as he started to think to teleport the others...
-----------------------------------------------------
"Where is he?" Tricia said as Joel yelped.
"As a matter of fact, he is right..." Dr. Erhardt smirked, ready to frame Joel for the crime HE and Dr. Forrester had committed long ago.
"JOEL!"
The three stopped as they turned to see Mike and the bots running in. Dr. Erhardt blinked in confusion as he said, "...here?"
Tricia noticed that Dr. Erhardt's finger was pointing right over at Mike Nelson.
"Wait, what?" Mike blinked.
"Larry?" Crow and Tom said in shock as Gypsy raised an eyebrow in confusion.
"YOU STOLE THE SATELLITE OF LOVE?" Tricia said, glaring right at Mike.
"What? Wait a minute! I didn't steal anything!" Mike frowned.
"That's right, lady! I don't know what is going on, but I am not amused!" Crow frowned.
Tricia looked over at Crow... and her eyes turned into hearts as she started jumping for joy. Crow blinked. "Are you okay?"
"KAWAII! YOU'RE ADORABLE!" Tricia smiled as she hugged Crow.
"Joel... Mike... help?" Crow said, getting uncomfortable.
Joel blinked as he turned to Dr. Erhardt. He shrugged. "She's bi-polar."
"Ah..." Joel nodded.
"Okay, Joel, I know who the BOTS are..." Dr. Erhardt said in disgust. "But who is THAT guy?"
"I'm Mike Nelson, I replaced Joel..." Mike explained.
"Wait, wait, wait; REPLACED Joel?" Dr. Erhardt blinked. "Why did Dr. Forrester not INFORM me of this?"
Joel blinked. "Didn't you hear? Dr. F died at least a few years ago."
"WHAT?" Dr. Erhardt blinked. "Then who ran the experiments?"
As if to answer Dr. Erhardt's question, Pearl, Bobo, Brain Guy and TV's Frank appeared, much to MIke and Joel's surprise.
"PEARL?" Mike said.
"Brain Guy?" Tom said in shock.
"Bobo?" Gypsy asked.
"Frank?" Joel said in surprise.
"Who?" Dr. Erhardt just said in confusion.
"Oh, hey, Dr. F told me about you!" TV's Frank smiled as he looked at Dr. Erhardt. "I was your replacement!"
"MY REPLACEMENT?" Dr. Erhardt's eyes widened in shock. "Dr. Forrester REPLACED ME? WHY WOULD HE DO THAT?"
"Yeah, Frank replaced you, stringy!" Pearl frowned. "Then I replaced Frank, THEN I replaced my son, which Bobo and Brain Guy GLADLY filled in for Frank!"
"Wait, wait... Dr. Forrester is YOUR SON?" Dr. Erhardt said in shock, wondering how many surprises he could take...
Joel frowned. "You really have NOT been out a lot, have you, Dr. Erhardt?"
"What are you doing here, Pearl?" Mike frowned.
"Isn't it obvious? Blasting you, Joel and the bots out into space once again!" Pearl smiled. "What can I say, I miss the old days!"
"Yeah, I don't really blame you." Tom Servo nodded. "It was getting rather boring... but we didn't want to see YOU!"
"Believe me, I would be glad to see you... ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SCREEN!" Pearl frowned. "Brain Guy, get us out of here before the satellite blasts off!"
Everyone, except for Pearl, Bobo, Brain Guy and Frank, just stopped in shock as they all said, "Blasting off?"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!!!
Outside ConGypsCo, the second Satellite of Love started to fly up into space as a laser started opening at the top and blasted up into the air, causing a portal to open up.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Too late..." Brain Guy sighed.
"Well, I'm sure we'll be okay..." Gypsy smiled. "As long as none of you pushed that second button next to the launch button."
"What does that do?" Pearl asked, out of curiosity.
"I don't know, I never tried it." Gypsy said, honestly.
"I did!" Bobo smiled.
"WHAT?" Pearl said in shock as everyone blinked.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, back in Equestria, outside Twilight's castle, Twilight and her friends were just about to have another picnic outside as Pinkie Pie was bringing out some strawberry jam.
"Why the jam?" Twilight asked, out of curiosity.
"To spread for my toast, silly!" Pinkie said as she made some toast appear out of nowhere.
No pony had noticed that a portal had just opened up from above Twilight's castle.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Back in the Satellite of Love, Dr. Erhardt was still in shock as Brain Guy was still trying to think, Pearl was busy choking Bobo, Cambot was seen floating around, Mike and Frank were now talking to each other, as Tom and Gypsy looked at each other in worry. Crow was still busy, escaping the clutches of a hyped Tricia. Joel frowned as he said, "Hey, Cambot, give me Rocket Number Nine; Maybe we can see what's going on?"
Cambot nodded as he projected an image from outside the ship. A colorful portal seemed to be opening up as the Satellite was entering through it.
"Where are we entering?" Pearl asked.
"I don't know..." Crow said, getting out of Tricia's grasp. "But I don't like it..."
The ship then started to act like falling as something was happening as Frank yelled, "I think we're falling now!"
Brain Guy smiled as he said, "I got the brainwaves working!"
"Great!" Pearl frowned as he grabbed Dr. Erhardt. "We may as well take HIM with us, come on!"
Brain Guy frowned. "But, madam, I don't know if I can teleport FIVE people at the same time! Three is good, four is manageable, but five may have some unforeseen consequenc-"
"I DON'T CARE! GET US OUT OF HERE!" Pearl yelled.
Brain Guy yelped as he went into his thinking position, Bobo taking TV's Frank and grabbing Brain Guy's cloak as Pearl took a piece of Brain Guy's cloak as well.
"Welp, so long, Nelson, Robinson, bots... and whoever you are." Pearl said. "Hope you like... whatever it is you're about to face!"
With that out of the way, Brain Guy teleported as all five people disappeared.
"BRACE YOURSELVES!" Joel yelled Tom and Gypsy started to panic.
"WE'RE ABOUT TO CRASH... AGAIN!" Mike called as Crow and Tricia started to cling onto something. Cambot was floating around as everything started to go black...
--------------------------------------------------------------
Around the same time, a huge bone satellite suddenly appeared and completely crushed Twilight's castle into smithereens, which Twilight and her friends noticed.
"MY CASTLE!" Twilight screamed.
"Aliens!" Rainbow gasped... then laughed at Applejack. "Told you they exist!"
"Ooooo... shiny..." Pinkie smiled as she noticed one part of the satellite crumpled off and started flying straight in a direction... Pinkie then shrugged as they all looked at the bone like satellite, not sure what to make of it.
"I had a deposit on that, too..." Twilight sniffled.
"Relax, Twilight, that castle can rebuild itself easily..." Spike said.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The part that came out of the Satellite of Love was a small active laser as it landed near a familiar tree with six cutie marks labeled as it started to activate as it blasted six certain parts of the tree, causing them to disappear... to far, separate worlds...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Brain Guy, Bobo and Frank were looking straight at somebody as Dr. Erhardt was still sitting nearby, in shock. The sound of Pearl Forrester being upset was heard as Frank said, "It’s okay, Pearl! I think that new look is great on you..."
"I DON'T WANT A NEW LOOK! I WANT MY REGULAR HUMAN BODY!" Pearl yelled from offscreen.
"I told you we shouldn't have teleported five people!" Brain Guy frowned.
"Hey, Lawgiver, where are we, anyway?" Bobo said looking around.
Before Pearl Forrester could answer, she paused (again, she's not seen onscreen). "Hmmm... I think I've heard of this place once... I recall, because there were a lot of children's story books based on this place... and it's very much real. This, Professor Bobo... is the land of Equestria..."
"Oh, nice!" Frank smiled. "The land with the magic ponies? Cool!"
"Very cool, Frank..." Pearl said as the camera was now focusing on her... although she looked like a blonde furred version of a certain Changeling Queen. "Actually, this place will be perfect for the revival..."
"Revival?" Brain Guy raised an eyebrow. "Of whom?"
Pearl the now transformed Changeling Queen look-alike, smiled. "Oh... just an old friend both Frank AND Dr. Erhardt here knows..."
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Discord, the Spirit of Chaos and Disharmony, was doing what he loves to do most, besides doing pranks and other stuff...and that goes into the pathways between different worlds and travel a bit. He is the many of many Discords who knew about this place and often speak to himself or versions who are fanmakes of himself. In fact, one time, Discord even met himself from TUPG! Amazing!
However, Discord yelps as a portal opens up between two worlds, his own and another. The former villain frowns in concern as the portal sends something into his world...but something is troubling as the portal remains open. And...
"What's this?" Discord ask as the portal is, and without explanation, beginning to do something. "Is that portal fusing my world with someone else's?! Something is coming here...I must..."
Suddenly something came out of the other world, almost knocking Discord down. As he recovers, the former villain yelps as something laughs and heads at him.
"Wait, who are you?!" Discord demands. He can only scream his last as the figure overpowers him...and fusing with him...
------------------------------------------------------
Back in Twilight's castle, Celestia and Luna were here as they had the guards with them, Twilight and the Mane Six were watching as they saw the bone-like satellite trying to be breached by the guards.
"What is this bone like structure?" Twilight asked in curiosity.
"I don't know... but this is going to be big!" Pinkie gasped in excitement.
"What's the status, princess?" Twilight asked.
"Well, my guards are conducting a search right now." said the second one. "So far they deduced that the heat shields must have failed on a reentry. Whoever was piloting must've been a complete and utter moron, at best."
One of the guards then approached the princesses and Twilight's friends as he bowed to them and said, "We've managed to breach the hull, your highnesses. We're going through the strange ship right now. We'll alert you once we've found anyone."
"What have you found so far?" Princess Luna asked.
"The only thing that was intact that we could find was this suitcase," said one of the guards, holding up a slightly singed suitcase. "It's got nothing but underpants in it."
Twilight raised an eyebrow. "Underpants? Why underpants?"
The guard could only shrug.
Just then, they heard someone shout.
"HEY, WE'VE GOT SOMETHING!"
The princesses, Twilight and her friends started running towards the ship as they looked over.
The pony guards were slowly lifting with their magic a giant metal structure out of the satellite.
It was large and purple with a giant white lip and what appeared to be a flashlight for an eye.
Twilight gasped as Fluttershy asked, "What is it?"
"It looks like a robot..." Twilight said. "I never thought I'd see one up close."
"Wait, here's another!" said another guard pony as he used his magic to pull out a small squat robot that had a gumball machine for a head.
"Another robot?" Twilight said in awe as Rainbow examined it.
"I wonder how the arms work." Rainbow asked.
"We've got two more as well." said another pony guard, pulling out two more robots.
One was a small orb with a camera lens built into it, and the other was a Tupperware dish / ping pong balls / hockey mask / bowling pin designed robot.
Twilight looked in amazement as she said, "That is amazing. Actual robots..."
Applejack blinked as she said, "You could almost mistake them for puppets..."
"My gosh, do you think they were made from parts of this bone-like structure?" Rarity asked.
"They may as well be..." Pinkie said...
"Hey, we got three people in here!" A pony guard shouted. "Humans in fact!"
Celestia and Luna raised an eyebrow as Luna asked, "Humans? How curious?"
"Indeed... we haven't had a human visit since Megan and her friends the last time." Celestia said. They watched as the guard ponies pulled out the three humans...
The first one was a male human with a red jumpsuit and brown hair. The second person was a male human with a blue jumpsuit and brown hair. The last person was female and she was wearing a blue lab coat with a green G sewed on it. They looked pretty hurt, but they were alive and well.
"Those three look hurt pretty bad..." Luna said in worry.
"Indeed." Celestia said. "All of them seem pretty out of it..."
"Princess, what do we do?" Twilight asked.
Celestia paused. "Twilight, Luna and I are going to be taking the humans back to our castle, they'll need some rest over there. We can talk and meet up with them a little later, I want them to ease in a little bit."
"What about the robots?" Twilight asked, looking towards the four robots, who look out of it.
"Keep them around here for now. Have them explore Equestria, experiment with them a little, if need be. Do you understand, Twilight?" Celestia asked.
Twilight nodded as the guard ponies were seen using their magic to lift the three humans into the carriage.
Before they were loaded aboard, the man in the blue jumpsuit managed to briefly open his eyes and see the burning wreckage of what seemed to be a castle as some guards stayed behind to quickly rebuild the place. He also saw his robot friends being lifted with magic by a purple pony as she took them into the newly built castle.
Mike Nelson passed out.
