The sight outside was one that should never be seen by human, or pony, eyes.
Unconscious Ponies, shattered buildings and monsters that looked like they came from the depths of hell.
A grey pony with black hair with a blue highlight running through it was flying across the sky when a shot from one of the monsters took him down, he was spiralling out of control quickly and braced for impact. He hit the ground in front of Twilight Sparkles house hard, luckily only his wing was sprained and any serious damage was avoided.
"Oh my gosh!" Aelita shouted "are you OK you poor thing?"
She rushed to the injured pegasus and fluttershy quickly followed.
"Lets get you inside, I'll take good care of you" Fluttershy's caring side quickly took over
"I'm good I think, I just need to fly it off" the grey pegasus tried to take off but quickly stopped flapping his wings "ouch that hurts"
"Your coming inside with me and i am not taking no for an answer"
"heh, ok then... i could use some TLC"
Fluttershy glared at the pegasus
"okay okay im sorry... geez.. my name is Shadow Breeze by the way"
"Nice to meet you, now lets get inside"
"OK guys we're one down now so that leaves 10 of us..." Ulrich quickly did the maths "you think we can beat them all the way to the tower?"
"Definately, especially with 10 of us, peice of cake" Odd replied
"Then lets do this... NOW" william said, obviously a bit impaitent
So they ran in, all 10 of them, William, Ulrich, Odd, Aelita, Yumi and Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity and Applejack. It was a weird sight to see but it was pretty awesome.
The ponies didn't have weapons but they were still charging into battle fearless.
"OKAY GUYS WE NEED TO HEAD TOWARDS THAT TOWER. RAINBOW DASH YOU FLY UP AND SEE HOW MANY THERE IS" Ulrich commanded.
Rainbow dash flew up to the sky and flew back down seconds later
"Theres about 10 Ulrich, the tower is about 300 metres away"
"That's great. XANA doesn't expect much of a fight then i guess"
"Yeah I guess so, lets do this then"
They approached the first monster, a Creeper. It fired laser beams and looked like a cobra with arms... doesn't explode though
Yumi was the first to react, throwing her fan towards the creeper which it instantly fired it's laser at, making the attack against itsself useless.
Twilight sparkle got an idea. "Pinkie?"
"Yes twilight?"
"Grab my tail, you know what to do"
"Oh goody! I've been wanting to do this since we fought the changeling's"
Then the 5 humans saw something completely awe-inspiring. Pinkie pie picked up Twilight Sparkle and began pumping her tail, causing beams of energy to fly out of her horn and causing the creeper to disintegrate once a beam hit it
"I can totally do that too" Aelita looked on in awe.
They managed to sneak past 2 others before hitting the next one... "I got this" William said as he pulled out his sword. "rainbow dash can you distract it while I attack, and on my mark fly away?"
"Sure thing William"
Rainbow dash started to fly towards the monster, a Krab, ait has a red circular body with 4 legs underneath it, giving it a height of about 2.2 metres. It has a laser and a mark that looks sort of like an eye on top, rainbow quickly decided to fly around it, it fired shots at her but she dodged them with ease. As the monster was turning around it fell over giving William a chance to strike
"Mark!"
At this signal rainbow flew upwards as William charged at the Krab with his huge blade, and sliced straight down the middle of its body, causing it to disintegrate. The group charged onwards towards XANA's tower
--------6 monster fights later--------
"we're here... AELITA GET INSIDE NOW" William commanded
Aelita stepped inside the tower and was suddenly hit by a communication from Jeremy.
'Aelita can you hear me? Its Jeremy!'
"Jeremy finally I can hear you, whats going on"
'Looks like the world your in isnt a part of Lyoko, I cant find it in the database files anywhere, ive tried de-virtualizing you and it just doesnt work. There seems to be no way out of there'
"Well the only reason I can communicate now is probably because im in a XANA tower which is probably connected to Lyoko in some way."
'Right.before you lose communication with me I have something for the ponies as I sense you are going to be there for a while'
"how do you know about them?"
'i can see a virtual outline map of the place your in, I can also see who your with and where you are'
"Thought there was no records of this place in the computer?"
'your right but I found an old book about the place your in while digging through the basement earlier and I managed to make a map out of the information it gave, and your suits have tracking things in them too'
"so about this stuff for the ponies?"
'ahh right yes... Well im virtualising some things into the center of the tower now, its some armour and weapons I've designed specially for use by ponies'
"Thanks Jeremy. I'm sure they'll be pleased"
'okay now go shut that tower down'
"one more thing, whats the name of this world called? I may need it to shut down the tower"
'Equestria it says here in the book'
"Thanks again, talk to you soon as im pretty sure another tower will pop up somewhere"
Aelita shut off the comms and stepped into the middle of the tower. Where the armour and weapons for the ponies had just materialised in front of her eyes. She moved them out of the way and stepped into the middle, causing her to be lifted up to the top level. There was a virtual keypad on this top level. She typed some letters and then the word. EQUESTRIA and as soon as she hit enter the lights in the tower turned off and the monsters in the town were disintegrated
Aelita walked out the tower to everyonr cheering. She gave a smile then dropping the armor and weapons at her feet said "I come bearing gifts!"
