It was a bright sunny day as everyone woke up from their slumber.
"How did everyone sleep?" Aku Aku asked.
"It was fine." the rest of the gang replied.
"Alright, let's get another crystal and gem in each of our universes." Twilight spoke up.
Coco set a course for Tornado Alley and Maximum Overfly.
Fluttershy, me, Nathan, and Conner decided to go to Tornado Alley while Rainbow Dash, Scootaloo, Joshua, and Nyx settled going on to Maximum Overfly. The two groups went to the elevator like the last time, and they went to the level.
The first group arrived to Tornado Alley by flying a plane that was being held by a blimp. The three occupants were the bandicoot and the two kids. The flying Pegasus decided to fly with them.
"Crash! Conner! Nathan! Fluttershy!" Coco called voice over in the plane's speakers. "The generators! Shoot them down. Looks like Neo's using them to make a tornado."
As the four destroyed some generators, they managed to break some crates. But what seemed unfortunate to them was that they saw not only Cortex's lab assistants were flying on planes to stop them, but there were some changelings around.
"What?!?" Fluttershy cried. "Didn't we got rid of those already?"
"Looks like Cortex hired a villain who wants to take revenge on us after you guys saved Toby from their queen." Conner answered sadly.
"Well, we won't let them get into our way again," replied Nathan. "Let's get those varmints packing!"
I fired bullets at the generators while he spun around Cortex's lab assistants and changelings to avoid being hit. Fluttershy also avoided the attacks and went closer to the kids to protect them. By finishing off the generators and crates and avoiding all the obstacles that can harm them, they not only got a crystal, but also collected a gem. The group went back to the warp room and they celebrated the party Pinkie Pie made.
As that happened, the second group made it to Maximum Overfly. As they went to the center of the sky, they saw more Lab Assistants and Changelings holding them for defense.
"Aren't those changelings already gone?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"Cortex has hired more allies of his to take us out." Nyx replied.
"Let's get the crystal and gem before they do!" Scootaloo cried.
Nyx and Joshua used their magic to shoot down the lab assistants and nearby crates while Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo fought the Changeling drones. It was a tag team battle that seemed hard for them, but they managed to accomplish their goal. Rainbow managed to grab the crystal while Joshua held the gem in pride as they vanished. They also managed to get back to the Warp Room. After celebrating the party, the business was done and dealt with.
"So anyway, why is Uka Uka so mean?" Toby asked.
"He is an evil mask, child," Aku Aku answered. "Uka Uka was my evil twin brother that wanted to take over our world. Long ago, I locked him into a temple to keep the world safe. He got free, so we stopped him again after using the Time Twister Machine to get some crystals and gems. So now, we must stop him again."
"Man, not again," Joshua muttered.
"Something wrong?" Coco asked.
"Oh, it's just that we are still sad after the loss of my mother years ago," Toby said.
"Would you like to talk about it?" Coco asked again.
"OK. It would be heartbreaking." Timmy said.
"When I was four years old, my Mommy suddenly died in a car crash. Daddy started being mean me afterwards, so one night when I was six, I wished that I had a new home and a family that will never be mean to me. Momma suddenly found me, so she fed me, took care of me, looked after me, and then I met her friends Auntie Pinkie, Auntie Twilight, Auntie Applejack, Auntie Rainbow, Auntie Rarity, and Uncle Spike. After that, I came to Canterlot Castle to meet Auntie Celestia and Auntie Luna. We had a huge party to cheer myself up after I was feeling down. I had fun, and went crusading with my big sisters Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle. When we to school, I met Diamond Tiara, and she began to be mean to me by taking away my glasses and holding them up. My big sisters were about to stop them until Silver Spoon gave them back to me. After that was settled, she told me that I don't belong in Ponyville since I'm not like them. I ran away to the Everfree Forest after having a bad dream. A timberwolf was about to eat me until Auntie Rainbow saved me. She and the others went into my nightmare to find out why I ran away. Throughout some comfort, I felt better. I had learned more stuff about my family. I did a talent show to say goodbye to Mommy. It was heartwarming. I had many adventures with not only my big sisters, but with my aunties. But one day, there was a sudden heart burst in Canterlot Castle. Auntie Celestia found the memories of my Daddy and when we came into them, he was the one who killed Mommy. We all stood up to him but Mommy came as an angel to my comfort. I decided to get Uncle Discord to send him home. I showed up in Ponyville and found out it's my new home. The end."
Wewere in tears of joy as we blew our noses in tissues. Even I seemed to have emotions of my own.
"I'm sorry that had to happen to you," Aku Aku spoke up.
"That's OK, Aku Aku." the child replied. "I got her back by a wish, and now I got a bigger family along with yours."
"Awwww..." everyone cooed.
"Excuse me, I don't mean to interrupt," Discord replied. "But how was Crash created?"
"That's for another story," the mask said. "For now, let's find more crystals and gems."
"Alright!" everyone cheered.
