Jay wakes up on the beach of a lake.
When he looks up, he stares in the googly eyes of his Derpy.
''Hey hon! You're finally awake! You know what? Rick and Gary did it! They saved us all!''

Going to their house, he sees his brothers chilling out. 
At the sight of Jay, they jump up and hug their beloved older brother.
''We did it Jay! Equestria is saved.''
But while hugging, they see Jay's memories of the different Equestria.

In that Equestria, Lightning hits everything in Jay's cottage to find a way to get to him.
Screwball is with her. ''Why don't you give up? Jay's gone, both physical and mental. You can't do anything about it.''
Lightning lays down on the floor and starts crying: ''Why?''

Gary asks Jay after their hug: ''Where have you been?'' 
Jay remains silent.
''Jay come on, tell us! We're you brothers.''
''Yeah, but you have lives in two worlds, I have in three now.''
''What?''

After Jay told his brothers about the different Equestrias, Rick laughs: ''So Doc wasn't mad when he said there were multiple Equestrias in existance. Let's go tell him!'' 
Jay looks up. ''Doc? You mean Doctor Whooves, right? That scientist?'' 
Rick nods.
''Let's go see him.''

Screwball looks outside when she sees that a is storm coming up.
''Lighty, we need to get inside!''
Lightning dissagrees.
She's working on one of Jay's machines, what appears to be some sort of portal.
Then a Giant Centaur stomps towards the Castle of Friendship and starts hitting it. 
Then a blue telephone booth comes out of the sky and crashes on Tirek's head. 
Jay and Rick step out of the booth and walk towards the unconscious Centaur.
Rick puts on his sunglasses and says: ''Get noscoped scrub!''
''Nice one Mate.'' and they brohoof.
''Your aim is still perfect, Jay.''
''Hit him on accident, so yeah.''
Rick looks around. ''Nothing is different.''
''It ain't the landscape, except for that giant castle over there.'' and he point to the Everfree Forest. ''Gary, what takes you so long?''
His blue brother walks backward out of the booth, pulling out a giant camera.
''What the buck do you need that for?''
''Doc said he wanted some pictures of the world here.''

Lightning and Screwball walk towards the unconscious Centaur as the hear a conversation between to ponies.
''There is nothing to take a picture from, or did he specify something or someone?''
''No he didn't. Or at least he didn't tell me.''
''Jay?''
Three heads face towards the two teenagers.
''Jay! It is you!'' and Lightning hugs Jay.
''Huh...wha...Lightning?''
''Jay who's that?''
Lightning lets Jay go and says: ''I'm Lightning Dash, Jay's marefriend.''
Rick bursts out in laughter and Gary says: ''Lightning Dash? You're not Jay's marefriend. That's Derpy.''
Lightning shakes her head. ''No he isn't! He's my coltfriend.''
''Shut up. Both of you!''
The mare and the stallion both shut up.
''You are both right. Derpy is my marefriend...''
''Told ya!''
''...in our world. In this world Lightning is my marefriend. So it's kinda complicated.''
Lightning is shocked. ''You already have a marefriend?''
Jay lays his hoof in his neck.
''Yeah, in that other world. Since that world was destroyed, I had no life there anymore. I kinda build my life here, until i sacrificed myself for you. Then I went back to that world.''

After the Cyberbrothers met the others, Screwball says: ''Those are you brother, huh? They look similar to you.'' 
She was right, Jay, Rick and Gary were, apart from their colors and Cutie marks, the same. The mane style and body are the same.
''That's because we are triplets.'' 
The Tri-Pies cheer: ''They're similar to us!''
''We need to go now.''
Jay gives Lightning a device.
''When you need me, press the button. But don't rely on it. Live here, without me.''
He kisses her goodbye, steps in the telephone booth and waves a final goodbye...
