//------------------------------// // Chapter 26 // Story: Equestria Crossover Confusion // by Garfield23 //------------------------------// “James, are you in your armour yet? Remember we promised to help Applejack rebuilt her home” Captain America asked as he walked into Warmachine’s room but the man wasn’t there “Huh? I guess he already left” as he turned he bumped into someone “Huh? Sailor Jupiter isn’t it? What are you doing here? I thought you were on patrol?” Sailor Jupiter looked a little shocked but said “I was, I was out with Kisuke and Yoruichi! How’d I get here?!” she looked around worried as she then blushed. The humans had been staying in shared accommodation near Twilight’s castle but the men and women sections were split into two “I…I’m sorry!” suddenly with a little yelp of surprise, Sweetie Belle appeared in front of the two “How…?!” Then Sweetie Belle cried out “Rarity! My sister has disappeared!” tears falling down her face “We were having breakfast when she suddenly disappeared! She just vanished! You’ve got to help me find her! Please…I’m so scared!” she then noticed where she was and her fear seemed to grow “No…no how’d I get here!” Sailor Jupiter wrapped her arms around Sweetie Belle in a caring way “Shhhh, it’s okay, it’s okay” she said in a soft tone “We’ll help you find your sister. Now come on, she can’t have gone far” she then turned to Captain America “We’d better let Princess Twilight know what’s going on!” Cap nodded but as they walked out with Sweetie Belle, on their way to the castle Cap suddenly disappeared to be replaced by a man in green “Who are you?! Stay back!?” Sailor Jupiter yelled noticing the man had a sword drawn. “Your death!” the man said as he swung the sword at Sweetie Belle but Jupiter was able to push the filly out of harm’s way. However Jupiter wasn’t nearly as lucky, the sword glanced off her shoulder. The blood splashed on the ground, as Jupiter lay holding her shoulder, her powers had saved her from taking a worse injury but the man was determined that wouldn’t save her from his next blow “Now die!” However his next blow was blocked by another sword, Zorro’s sword and the swordsman struck the man across the chest but the attack only caused sparks to be sent out as it hit the golden shield. Zorro said through the sword clenched in his teeth “Hmm that’s interesting…still your technique isn’t all that good” he stood between the enemy and Sailor Jupiter. Zorro turned his head slightly and said “Hey filly! Get her out of the way” Sweetie Belle nodded and using her magic, which was just strong enough to life Sailor Jupiter, she turned to leave but said “Thank you” “You really think you can beat me!” Tommy yelled as he drew his dragon dagger, Zorro braced himself as the ranger charged forward but suddenly a man jumped down in front of the ranger “What the…ahhhh!” Tommy was ran through by two bayonets, one through the stomach and the other pierced his throat “W…w…no!” Tommy fell to the ground, unmoving and the shiny silver z shone out from under him. The man smirked and said “From ashes ya rose and now ta ashes ya return” he turned to face Zorro and said “Now it’s ya’re turn ya filthy heathen! You have been chosen to reveal my existence to the world. You will witness what happens here today, and you will tell of it later in hell!” Zorro groaned “You certainly like the sound of your own voice!” he said as he prepared to fight the new enemy, clearly he’d have to keep his guard up and hope he could land a good blow but before he could say another word the man in front of him ran forward, Zorro only just blocked the first blow but the second glanced off his arm “AH! Son of a…!” Zorro said as he turned to face the man “Might I ask ya’re name before we continue…if I’m going to die at your hands…I’d like to know the name of my killer” The man laughed insanely but finally said “Fine, I’ll give you the courtesy. The name’s Alexander Anderson!” he then charged forward again but this time a different sword blocked the attack “Now what do ya two call yourselves?!” “The name’s Deadpool and this is Roronoa Zoro” Deadpool laughed as he kicked Anderson in the gut “Though how anyone remembers that name without calling him, Washregularly Zorro” Alexander lunged for him but Deadpool pulled out his pistol and unloaded a shot into Anderson’s head. However the shot did little “Huh? Looks like another guy with a healing factor? I wonder how many shots it'll take it kill you or maybe your like me?” Alexander Anderson got up and said “Ya’re nae gonna live long enough, heathen to find out!” he picked up his bayonets and added “I’am God’s assassin and you’ll learn the meaning of his wrath, when it’s lit but a little” Zorro groaned and said “You mean you work for that idiot, Enel!?” he then added “Or do you work for another supposed god?” the resulting question made Anderson look at him with a mad glint “What?” “Ya’ll be the first heathens, I’ll cut down like ripe fruit…except so rotten that you crumble before I’m finished!” Anderson yelled in delight. Zorro and Deadpool both yelled “Would you just shut up already!” Puppetmon smiled as she watched the chaos he was causing, the ponies and their friends were now more confused than ever. Every time a pony or one of their friends got close to his hiding spot, he’d move them far from the area and keep moving them into dangerous places “This is more fun than that time I fumigated for termites!” he laughed. “Well personally that doesn’t sound very fun” a voice said from the darkness and Discord appeared. He wasn’t alone, Iroh was standing looking calm and Discord added “I guess you didn’t get the memo? Chaos is my department! Now let me help you stop!” suddenly they all disappeared from the hole and appeared in the centre of Ponyville near Sugarcube corner. The Magna defender, Matt and Metalgarurumon were standing ready to fight “We don’t appreciate all the trouble you have been causing!” Discord said with a frown. Metalgarurumon smirked and said “I guess you didn’t learn your lesson the first time?” as he approached Puppetmon closer and growled “Wasn’t once enough for you?! Metalwolf claw!” Puppetmon however dodged the attack before it hit him “What the?!” The Magna Defender fired his rifle but the attack failed to find it’s mark either and even Iroh’s fire bending failed to do anything, as Puppetmon jumped round the flames “Oh come on he wasn’t this fast last time we met!” Puppetmon landed behind Meralgarurumon and said “No duh! I’ve grown stronger since we last met and with that comes greater speed!” he then swung his hammer and caught Metalgarurumon right under the jaw “Hahaha! Revenge is so much fun!” “You oversized toothpick! Feel the strength of the Armstrong line!” suddenly Puppetmon was send flying from a punch delivered from Armstrong who looked very cross. He then turned to Matt and his eyes filled with tears “I’m terribly sorry, I should have got here sooner or your friend wouldn’t be so tragically de..” he stopped as Metalgarurumon turned back to Gabumon “Oh…is he okay?” Puppetmon rose to his feet and said “You’ll pay for that” “Pay for this!” Both Applejacks yelled from behind him and they then gave him a firm kick up into a tree but both smiled at one another before saying “Great work….me” Puppetmon jumped down but both Pinkie Pies were waiting with a party cannon, he was blasted out but was then attacked in the air by both Rainbow Dashes and fell to the ground with a smack. Then as if by both Rarity’s struck throwing thick rocks at the evil Digimon. “Well that went well” Puppetmon rose to his feet shakily and then Princess Twilight, Twilight, Shining Armour and Sunset Shimmer let loose a combined blast of magic. Puppetmon was reduced to vapour but the silver Z appeared on the ground “We did it!” Princess Twilight yelled with delight but it was way too soon. The ground began to shake and suddenly a light shot up from the silver Z on the ground. All across Equestria the Silver Zs were unleashing the lights, they converged in a single spot above Canterlot and a massive portal opened. Applebloom yelled “What the hay is going on?!” however both Big Mac and Basil Stag hare got themselves over her trying to protect her from what appeared. It stood taller than Canterlot mountain coated in shiny silver and gold armour but what was most terrifying was it looked for all the world like a giant dragon. Lord Zedd stood atop the mountain of Canterlot cackling as the giant robot arrived “Behold! Hahahaha! The ultimate power in the universe! Serpentera ultimate, now all it needs is power!” he said turning to Aisen “I’m sorry my lord your services are no longer required…except to power Serpentera!” Aisen looked shocked but before he could do a thing Serpentera opened it’s mouth wide, all within Canterlot, except for Galaxia, Princess Celestia and Lord Zedd were drawn into it’s mouth but it was far from done. Down in Ponyville energy shields appeared around the pony main six, Discord and the CMC, any who were within a metre of them were also protected by the shields. However everyone else was drawn into the giant robot’s mouth, across Equestria the same thing was happening except for a few exceptions that the energy shields popped up to defend. Once all the energy had been gathered, Lord Zedd cackled out “So my creation is fully charged!” “Who’s left?!” Princess Twilight asked looking around; all that remained of their army now was Tien, Basil, Sailor Jupiter, Stitch and Sunset Shimmer who’d be close enough to be protected. However the rest of their forces hadn’t been so lucky “They’re all gone” Applejack however snapped “I think it’s time to bust out the rainbow powers!” she knew when they’d attempted it before it hadn’t worked but with death practically staring them in the face, what other choice did they have? “Come on, Twilight, we have to give it a shot?!” “Applejack is right!” Rarity said as she stepped up to Twilight. Twilight nodded and the group focused on using the rainbow powers, before when they’d attempted it, it had failed completely but now the transformation took full affect and they looked up at the robot “Alright let’s move girls! Tien, care to give some help?” Twilight asked as the ponies and Tien flew up to the robotic dragon. “Tri-beam!” Tien screamed as he fired his attack but the attack glanced off harmlessly and the main six’s efforts met with similar results “What’s going on?! That should have worked!” Lord Zedd’s voice boomed out over a loud speaker “Serpentera ultimate’s armour absorbs all power! You could hit it for a thousand years and your attacks would only serve it with power!” suddenly Serpentera’s mouth opened again and a blast of energy fired out, Tien and the main 6 were knocked away and they weren’t even hit, the attack struck where Manehatten but Zedd’s voice continued “Surrender and I might spare you!” Tien looked up as Scootaloo helped him up “What are we supposed to do against that kind of power?!” he screamed as the main 6 were also helped by the others “It can’t even be damaged and for each attack that fails it gets stronger!” Basil nodded and said “Certainly a jolly olde pickle we gotta ourselves into but we must not lose hope!” he then cracked his knuckles and smiled “Besides I for one am not willing to let this scraggy fellow have his way!” “Stitch ready!” Stitch yelled in defiance “Meega, nala kwishta!” looking up at the giant robot. Rainbow Dash said “Heck if I’m ready to give up! I’m to this to whatever end!” as she hoovered in the air “Right girls?!” As the group looked up Serpentera they were under no delusions that their chances were not great but Twilight said “There’s got to be a weakness and…I know we’ll find it!” From high above them a tall blue man with white hair watched the group making it’s decision and said “Lord, Zedd has gone against your orders” the man received his orders and said “As you wish my lord, I’ll interfere when it looks like one more might die” The man smiled and with a swish of his hand he was holding a pot of popcorn “Are you ready for the duel?”
