It's midnight as Jay and Rick are blasted out of the Canterlot High statue and smacked against the wall.
Halfly conscious, Jay says: Let's...not do that ever again, okay?''
Rick rises and lifts Jay up, while saying: ''We need to find Gary. He'll evaluate us on the status of this world.''
Jay nods and walks down the street.
After looking both ways, he says: ''Where's everyone?''
''It's night dummy.''
''Oh, righ'. It's night. That wall blurred my vision, I think. Where to go?''
''Follow me fool.''

As Jay and Rick reach their Shop, they see it's closed of with planks.
Worried, Jay starts riping the planks of the doors and opens the wrecked door.
Rick walks towards the desk as he hears glass crunching under his shoes.
''Jay, the last order was from right before we left.'' He says while checking the Order Index on their computer.
''Our garage fell in disrepair when we left the world. Check the security cams.''
Jay checks the recordings and is shocked.
''Rick, it didn't fell into disrepair. We vandalized the facility!''
''Wait, what? We, did this?''
Jay nods and shows the camera feed.
''That ain't us! Those are C and his gang of Changelings.''
''We'll find Gary. He'll know.''

After opeing their car storage, Jay enters his Classic Z28 and opens the door for Rick. ''Get in fool! We need to find Gary!''
But whatever Jay does, the car won't start.
Jay steps out and examinates the car.
''Outta fuel, just our luck.''
Rick steps out too. ''What do we do now? We can't wait till dawn, right?''
But Jay look answers his question. ''Oh, boy...''

It's 6:25 AM as Jay manages to fire up the engine.
Closing the hood, he says: ''Letsa go to school!''
He drives out of the garage into the morning rush.
Jay turns on the radio and hears a intriguing newsflash:
''...Yesterday, a group of young people vandalized several schools, including Crystal Prep and Canterlot High. The vandals were last seen around the old Cybers Car Dealer, which was vandalized by the group earlier. Back to you News Film.''
Jay leans lightly out of the window as he sees a News helicopter fly over and hover near the rush.
''The rush today is highly in records too, but there's more news. It seems that two of the vandals are in the morning rush in a green and black Z28 Classic...''
''Wait, what?''
Jay looks towards the chopper and sees a cameraman pointing his camera at him.
''Shucks!, Rick, wake the hay up. They think we're the vandals, bro.''
Around them, people start coming towards them, while saying things like ''vandal'' and ''scum'' on the way.
Rick is scared and says: ''Do you have any brilliant idea's, Einstein?''
Jay looks around him and sees a opening at the bridge railing.
Hitting the gas, Jay steers the car through the gap and drives at more than 100 Mph over sand and dirt.

Having reached Canterlot High, Jay sigh: ''What the hay happened there.''
Rick hits him. ''Never do that stuff again!''
As they step out of the car, they see Canterlot High's windows broken and the students are standing in front of their school, including Gary and the Apples.
Jay runs towards Gary, and shouts his name.
Gary turns around and as Jay reaches him, Gary stumps his brother in the chest.
Rick rushes forward to help his brother and asks angry: ''The hay did you that for? We came back from Equestria for you and this is how you greet your own blood?''
Shocked, Gary helps his brother up, apologizing over and over again.

''So, if you're speaking the truth, you're the Jay and Rick from Equestria, correct?'' Rainbow confirms.
Jay nods. ''Yo better believe us, we just risked our lives to get here.''
''When did you get here?'' Rarity asks.
''Last nigh'. Straigh' from the statue. We hit the wall on the Eastern side of the school. But we recall the school being intact 'round that time. Guess they came after we left.'' Jay says as he takes a sig of water.
''You still should see the spot we hit. The walls aren't all that sturdy, I tell ya. Check it out if yeh want.''
Then they hear sirens coming from outside the school and they see the police standing outside the school.
One of the officers say through a megaphone: ''RELEASE THE HOSTAGES AND COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS ON YOUR HEAD! THIS IS THE RVPD!''
Jay looks outside and says: ''Shucks, they're on our tail! Them fools still think we are the vandals!''
''What do we do?'' Rick panics.
Jay leans forward and whispers something in his ear.

Jay walks outside with his hands up and says: ''You really think we the violent fools that hit them schools? Yeh thought wrong!''
In a quick movement, Jay turns around and with some sort of Telekinesis he repairs Canterlot High.
When the school is repaired, he turns back and says: ''Why repair somethin' if yeh want it broken? Believe now we ain't the vandals?''

After having explained what happened over the course of days, Jay states: ''Darn sure it's C again. That fool always gives darn troubles.''
Turning towards the police, he says: ''Me and my bro's will take care of 'em. You can go catch some real threats.''
As the police drives away, Jay, Rick and Gary gather together in the mess hall and Jay places a map of the town on a table.
Jay draws a few circles and crosses on the map with a pencil.
At the other side of the mess hall are Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie playing a video game against each other as Twilight asks them: ''Have you seen Crystal Prep Jay? He's hasn't shown up on school thus far.''
''Don't know don't care. Maybe ask the Cybers?'' Rainbow says.
''Rainbow Dash! How rude!'' Rarity says.
The girls are discussing too much that they seem to miss a guys in a grey hood and sunglasses walking into the mess hall and takes a seat alone and far away from anyone else.

After the final bell rang, Jay, Rick and Gary gather around the Z28 and Jay says: ''So we've crossed out any place here he ain't gonna be. So that leaves only one place.'' 
Jay places his finger onto a place marked as Rainbowville Park.
''He always hides in parks. We'll need Equipment to capture him and bring him to Earth. Let's go Paintball shoppin' guys!''
They step into the Z28 and drive towards the shopping mall as the hooded guy takes the bus towards Rainbowville Park.

The door opens and Jay steps into his cottage.
He hangs his jacket up and walks towards the fridge.
As he opens it, he hears a voice saying: ''Did they appear?''
Gary steps into the room and asks again.
Jay nods as he opens a bottle of water.
Rick sits in the living room as they gather up.
''Listen guys, I think that what we're doing is bad. We should stop, you know. Before anything bad happens.''
Rick then rises and lifts Jay up with one arm.
''NO! We won't stop! C demands it! Never we'll stop achieving the destruction of the Legend Family!'' Rick shouts.
''Black Flash! Release him, we need him alive!'' Gary says.
Black Flash releases Jay and transforms into a Human Changeling.
Jay is shocked. ''What are you?''
Gary stands up and transforms as well.
''We are Neo Changelings, followers of the Great Jay C! And so are you now!''
Jay panicks and flees from his house.

After buying several Paintball rifles and having fixed their Car shop, Jay, Rick and Gary plan their strategy as they see Crystal Jay hiding behind a wall.
Rick walks towards him and asks: ''hey, you okay? Where'd you came from?''
Jay scares and backs against the wall. ''Go away you monster!''
''Monster? Who do you think you are calling me a monster.'' Rick says.
Jay and Gary the appear behind Rick and Jay says: ''Hey, ain't that Crystal Prep Jay? The folks have been lookin' for yeh. Especially Twily.''

After Crystal Jay has explained what the Neo Changelings are after, Rick says: ''Then it's settled. We need to stop them from hitting the power reactor. Gary, you get the girls. We need their magic more than ever.''
Gary walks towards the garage and Jay loads the paintball guns.
''Let's do this!'' Jay says...
