The Doctor tossed away the fake beard as he picked up the disk. "Amazing! In a thousand years they went from trains powered by ponies to digital video devices!“ 
He glanced over the disk "So why have you not put it in? I am sure one of you rich folks has an old player or something."
Kimichi coughed into his hand, Edgar looked away, the co-presidents suddenly busied themselves with straitening their ties, and Ralph just sighed.
"Look, Vet, Doctor, whatever. DVD's have been gone for eons. They were out of style back when Equestria invaded. Why would we have anything like that?”
The doctor sighed. "Very well… I guess I’ll just have to whip something up!"
He trotted over to the desk and started to pull out some things before finally raising his hoof in triumph "Ah ha! You kept it! You really do like me, don’t you Ralphie boy?" 
The doctor spun the sonic screwdriver on his hoof and then walked over to the jukebox. He started to tinker at it, pulling away the plastic panels to get at the computer system inside.
"Hey! I hope you plan on paying for that!" Ralph said.
The Doctor chuckles, his head buried deep in the machine. "What are you going to do? Ponify me?" 
Ralph sighed. "I just want to know what it says, That’s all... And perhaps if it is Equestria, perhaps..."
The other four gentlemen looked at Ralph with slits for eyes
"P-Perhaps we can really end them this time!" Ralph said, to some rousing cheers and "here heres!"
Genesis walk back in, with the flock of ambassador ponies. The Doctor piped up as Genesis hands the folder to Ralph "I think I got it, let me see... wirelessly link to the projector... bypass the security filters... Reverse the direction of the electron flow... and bang! Bobs your uncle and it now works!" 

He tapped the machine, springing to life, and he headed over to the desk.
A lavender colored unicorn appeared on screen... sideways. Her mane cut around a spiral appendage that was a long horn, the mane also had two colored stripes passing down the left side of the horn.
"Rarity, you’re holding it wrong." The unicorn said, her horn glowing as the screen righted itself.
"I was being dramatic, Twilight!” said another voice, presumably Rarity, from off-screen. 
"And why can’t you wear the embroidered eye patch i gave you?"
Twilight sighed and adjusted her basic black eye patch.  "Because. This is serious, Not a fashion show" 
"But Twili-"
"No butts, Rarity... now. Is it on?" Twilight asked
"Um, sugarcube… It’s been on fer about… a minute." said another voice, southerner accent, from off-screen.
Twilight facehoofed. "We’re going to cut this part out, right?"
Another voice, higher pitched responded. "Yeah! Yeah! I’ll get right on it after the Wonderbolts test!" 
"Right..." Twilight said, uncertainly, before coughing into her hoof and restarting.
"Citizens of Earth. We, the ponies of Equestria once stood side by side with you. We helped you jumpstart your harvests again, cleaned your air, helped you learn again the value of friendship... and even invited you to become one of us."

"But a few of you denied us, claimed we were monsters, demons, even devils.”
“You ignored that we offered plentiful food, not grown from recycled Waste.”
“You turned away from the teachings of friendship, which we extended to you with an open hoof.”
“All that was fine... every person and pony has their own opinion...”
“Then you started to get violent. Bricks thrown through windows... roving gangs who wanted to... ‘Thank’ the ponies... and let’s not forget the butchers who would buy pony meat at a high price just to sell it for a tenth of a credit.”

“And even that was fine as well. Opposition is a necessity in any natural force... Just ask your Issac Newton. Some of us were... not as peaceful as we could have been either. Some of us forcibly ponified people, and even stranded newfoals in the middle of nowhere.”
“But even all of that was fine still.”
“The part that was not fine was the day you took Discord.”

“Discord… Was, and is, the most powerful weapon in existence. He is the beginning of all possible outcomes, and he is the starting and ending of any and all realities.”

“Celestia was worried, she thought that he had escaped again and was lurking in the shadows.” 
“Luna herself offered to stay behind to make sure that Discord would not try anything, after all, it was a big day for Earth and Equestria. A day of union, A day of peace, and a day to help stabilize the dome. The Earth scientists said they had a way, and Celestia was willing to hear it.”

“The scientists asked Celestia if she could pose for a photograph that would go along with an article about the idea, a simple enough thing, Celestia stepping through the dome into earth…”

“That’s when the world turned upside down.”
“Two hypernucular rockets were shot into the dome. The barrier let them pass through. Fluttershy was the only one to spot them… Or more precisely her phoenix friend, Philomena.”
“After noticing, Fluttershy darted up to try and steer the missiles away, throwing herself on the nosecone of one and pushing it up to connect with the other... 
My brother saw what was going to happen; he raised Canterlots shields as fast as possible. Luna added her strength to it as well.”
“The flash blinded everypony, It was as bright as a suns explosion... and almost as destructive.”
“The link between Earth and Equestria broke, nothing left of the peaceful land except Canterlot and half of Ponyville...”
“Gone was Trottingham, Las Pegasus, Appleoosa, Manehattan and Zebrica.”
“Gone were sugar cube corner, cloudsdale, and the apple family lands.”
“Gone were the good fillies and colts, many who never even ventured into your world.”
“Gone was..."
Twilight paused and touched her eye patch gently. 
"Gone was kindness… The mare who tended the wounded in the battles between the HLF and the PER, who stood as strong as a blackmesh guard but stood up for everyone."
Twilight opened her eye and looked out of the screen at the men in the room.
"So I have a message, and a question. A message from Equestria and a question from me.”
“Do you know what happens when you kill kindness?“ She asked.
The screen went blank.
"What? That’s it?" Ralph asked, frantic.
"No... It is based on DVD tech. Still magic in its origin. It’s waiting for an input…" the Doctor stated, still reading the file folder.
"What is the message?" Genesis said looking at the screen
A high pitched, screeching sound shot out of the speakers, and just as soon as it started, went quiet. 
"Huh... sonic signal. But wh-" the Doctor started, before he got cut off by one of the Disequine corporations towers falling over, collapsing into the other.
The screen flickered to life.
"Shall I repeat the question?" the lavender pony on-screen said, smiling.
