Chapter 1, The Awakening

Fire’ sat up suddenly, gasping and panting heavily, looking around. He wasn't at the catacombs anymore, he was in ... "Twilight's library ..." he muttered. He looked around and noticed a night stand to his left, on which was a copy of 'Lost Spells of Star Swirl the Bearded.' He also notice a few pictures of him, Agua, Blitz, and Terra with a few ponies he didn't recognize. One was an earth pony with a brown coat, a silver mane that is spike, but the spikes are all going back, along with his tail. His eyes are purple while his snout is also silver.
Another was a dark blue Pegasus with a circular shield that had a white star in the middle, surround by red, white and blue circles. Another earth pony had a high-tech red suite on, with a glowing chest pice. He also saw a picture of him and Twilight on a beach with two alicorns, one a colt with an orange mane, a light red coat and charcoal black eyes. The other alicorn was a filly with a purple mane, a coat the same color as Twilight's, and turquoise eyes. Both the alicorns were around the same age as Scootaloo in the picture. He then realized he's in Twilight's bedroom, and next to him on his right was Twilight Sparkle. “ARGGH!" He leaped up in shock, banging his head on floor when falling back down.
Twilight yawned and rolled over to look at him, smiling. "Hey, Hun." She chuckled as he rubbed his head, growling in pain. "You okay there?"
"Twilight!" He edged away from her a bit. “I ... I didn't ... Oh crap, um ... I'm ... sorry?" Twilight reached over and rubbed his muzzle seductively.
"For what, Fire’? I wasn't complaining..."
Firebrand edged away a little more, stammering. "The ... the battle? What happened with Ba Sing Se? And ... and how did I end up here?" He gulped as he awaited her response.
Instead, she sat up and looked at him in a confused way. "Ba Sing Se? Oh..." She sighed and shook her head. “Were you having nightmares about the Battle of Ba Sing Se again?"
"The Battle of ... what now? It already has a name?" Fire’ then scratched his chin with his hoof. “That was quick..."
Twilight looked at him like he was crazy. "Dear, the battle happened 4 years ago..."
"4 years!" He hopped out of her bad and looked himself over. “No wounds..." He started shaking. “And ... and am I taller? And is this a..." He scratched a small patch of facial hair growing below his chin. “A goatee!?"
“Hun, you're hallucinating..." Twilight said, getting up as well. She looked older as well, a little taller, her horn longer, and her mane more flowing. “We'll get you to the hospital, you're sweating up a storm there..."
“No..." Fire’ raised a hoof. "Stand ... stand back, Twilight Sparkle. This can't happen..."
Twilight shook her head, "I don't know what you're talking about dear ... And keep your voice down ... You'll wake up the kids..."
"K-K-KIDS?" Fire’ shouted in exasperation.
At this point, the alicorns from the picture came in, only they were 15-17 years old and had cutie marks. The filly said, ‘Morning Dad’ while the colt said, ‘Morning Pops’. Fire’ then falls to his knees and screams.

Fire’ began to hear a slight beeping noise, like a hospital heart monitor. "He's waking up ... His vitals are all back, Doctor Carousel..." He heard a female voice say.
“Good..." The voice of the doctor responded. "The medicine I gave him seems to finally be kicking in..."
“The medicine doesn't work as well as the spirit water.” Fire’ recognized the voice as belonging to Agua. He then opened his eyes and sees that he’s in a recovery room in Canterlot.
“Ugh. What happened?”
“You were killed by Azula.” Twilight said to him, she was right next to him, holding his hoof. “But Agua used the spirit water to bring you back.”
“Oh, is that all?” He tried to get up, but he then feels a sharp pain in his head and stops.
“Try not to move, son.” Doctor Carousel said to him.
“How long have I’ve been out?”
“About a year.”
“A year! Great, then that means Geo Firma is...”
“Gone.” Celestia said as she walked in the room.
“Where are the others?”
“There somewhere in the city.” Luna said as she walked in with Celestia. “After we got back, we had a mass evacuation of all neighboring towns, including Ponyville, the only exceptions are Manehattan & Fillydelphia, where we sent combat unites, to Canterlot because of Discord’s escape.”
“Discord escaped!”
“Yeah. Deker told us this before we left Ba Sing Se.” Cadence said.
“Deker also gave us this vile of blue liquid full of nano-machines called nanites. We left it, because we figured it was supposed to turn you into a changeling.” Shining finished.
“Yeah.” Twilight chuckled.
“After what happened at Ba Sing Se, we had to get you to safety. On our way out, the King decided he wanted to travel the world in disguise, so we set off alone. Well, not completely alone, he took his bear.” Celestia said to him.
“I also like your long mane.” Twilight said to Fire.’
“Say what!?” Fire’ then looks in the mirror and sees that his mane and tail are now as long as Celestia’s. “You gotta be kidding me.”
“Alright everypony, Fire’ needs his rest.” The doctor said as they all leave.
“I’ll have Rarity cut your mane and tail when your all better.” Twilight said as she leaves with the others.
“Huh. Looks like its me and this long mane for a while.” Fire’ said as he went back to sleep.

In the hive of the changelings, Queen Chrysalis and Discord are in separate locked rooms, absorbing all the power from the coming Sozin’s Comet. “The power. The power!” Chrysalis said as she is encased by a red glow.
“Ooh-ah-ooh. I’m sure glade those two decided to lock themselves up during this power surge from the comet.”
“Tell me about it.” Hexe said as she strums her harmonium. “At least the Fire Avatar is now dead.”
“I’m not so sure. I’ve been watching the Equestrians and I think they have the Fire Avatar in a hospital.”
“Then why don’t you just go there and see for yourself if he's still alive.”
“All right, I’ll do it.” Medizinisch then leaves for Canterlot.

On a ship heading for the Fire Nation, Zuko is standing bow, when Mai walks up to him. “Aren't you cold?” She asked.
“I've got a lot on my mind. It's been so long, over 16 years since I was home. I wonder what's changed. I wonder how I've changed.”
Mai then yawns. “I just asked if you were cold, I didn't ask for your whole life story.” Mai then takes Zuko’s hoof. “Stop worrying.” She said. The two then kiss.

At Canterlot, after dark, an Earth Pony stallion with a red mane and a yellow coat with a sword for a cutie mark is running throw the alleyways. “There he is!” A Pegasus guard said as the stallion named Mcallen continues to run. Some laser blast try to hit him, but he doges them. He ducks behind a corner and opens his saddle bag. He reaches inside and pulls out a vile that's like the one Deker gave to the team, only with the nanites glowing yellow instead of blue inside and being far more concentrated of the one Twilight has. He looks around the corner and sees some guards.
“Bridge out! Under no conditions is he allowed to escape with those nanites.” One of the guards said. One of the guards goes right to the corner, but he doesn't see Mcallen run down the alleyway. He turns the corner and barley hits Mallen.
“These guys are not real Royal Guards. A bunch of ammeters.” Mcallen said as he reaches a dead-end.
“This is Captain Lance of the Royal Guard! Surrender now or we will bring you down!” A Pegasus said on top of the wall.
“Real Royal Guards never surrender.” Mcallen said as he turned around and runs again. Some of the Unicorns with Lance fire some lasers, but Mcallen doges them all. Mcallen then comes across another dead-end. “I’ll tear you all to pieces! Every last one of you!” He said to himself. “Lets see Shining Armor say I’m not fit to serve now.” Mallen said as he injects himself with the serum.
He opens his eyes as they turn from green to blood-red as the whites of them turn black. He then groans and gets on his knees in pain. Then a black substance exits his mouth. He then screams in pain. “OK boys.” Lance said to some earth pony guards carrying swords. “It’s capture and contain. If he fights, you know what to do. The Doc wants his ‘nanites’ back.” The guards go down the alleyway and see that the black substance Mallen regurgitated has completely encased him in a black octopus like sphere.
“We lost Mcallen.” One of the guards said on a communicator as some unicorns arrive.
“Where is he?”
“What is that?” One of the guards said, pointing to the cocoon. The cocoon then moves and busts open, with Mallen emerging, but he's different. He lost both his mane and coat, replaced by green skin. He's also able to stand on two legs now. When he turns around, he has a terrifying grin on his face. His front hoofs also have black claws on them that function like fingers. “What is that thing?!” The guard said as the unicorns fire, but Mallen jumps over the blasts and attacks, and when some hit him, he doesn't show any sing of slowing down. Mcallen grabs the neck of a unicorn and snaps it. He does the same with other guards. He then cuts the neck of an earth pony with his new claws.
“Stone Wall! Arrow Head! Anypony, respond!” Lance said on the communicator, getting nothing but static.

At the Fire Nation’s capital, Li and Lo are talking about the return of Zuko to a crowd. (key: Li italics, Lo bold, both italics and bold) “Your Princess Azula, clever and beautiful, disguised herself as the enemy and entered the Geo Firma Capital. In Ba Sing Se, she found her brother Zuko, and together they faced the Avatars...”
“And the Avatar of Fire fell! And Geo Firma fell!”
“Azula's agents quickly overtook the entire city. They went to Ba Sing Se's great walls...”
“And brought them down!”
“The armies of the Fire Nation surged through the walls, swarmed over Ba Sing Se, securing our victory."
“Now the heroes have returned home!”
“Your princess, Azula...”
“And after 16 long years, your prince has returned...”
“Zuko!” With that, both Zuko and Azula exit their ship and the crowd cheers.

The next morning, Rarity is giving Fire’ a mane cut. “No, still too long.” Fire’ said when Rarity cut his mane and tail to the same length as Luna’s.
“Oh, Sorin' has the perfect length and style.” Rarity said as she continues to cut until Fire’s mane and tail until there the same length as Shining’s.
“Perfect.” Fire’ said as he got up. “Thanks Rarity.”
“Don’t thank me, dear. I did it for Twilight.” Rarity said. She then got close to Fire’s ear. “Between you and me: I think Twilight has a crush on you.”
Fire’ then blushes when he heard that. “Oh ... really?”
“Yeah.”
“Huh. If only I wasn't still bedridden, otherwise I would ask Twilight on a date.” Both he and Rarity laugh. Rarity soon leave as Fire’ gets back to bed. “The entire world thinks I’m dead while only ponies in Equestria know the truth. I failed.” Just then, a blue glowing alicorn stallion appears next to his bed. “Who are you?”
“I am Avatar Roku. The father of Celestia and Luna.”
“Roku? Why are you here?”
“To tell you that you haven't failed, Firebrand.”
“But everypony outside of Equestria thinks I'm dead. They think I've abandoned them and we’er losing this war. I'm letting the world down.”
“If anyone is to blame for the state of the world, it is me. I should have seen this war coming and prevented it. Both you, and the other Avatars inherited my problems, and my mistakes. And I believe you are destined to redeem me and save the world.”
“Your right.” Fire’ said as Roku walks to a window and sees his daughters talking with Twilight and her friends in front of a Royal Guard recruitment center.
“I wish I could have watch them grow up.” Roku said, holding back a tear. “I haven't seen either of them for 2,000 years.”
“I could tell them you said hello.”
“I would appreciate that. Firebrand, before I leave, I must tell you that many difficult trials are ahead.” Roku said as he fads. Fire’ then hears a commotion outside and sees electricity crackling.

“Whats going on, Tia?”
“I don’t know Luna.” Celestia said as some royal guards appear, among them Captain Lance.
“You Highnesses, that is the fugitive.” Lance said a ball of lightning comes their way.
“What the hay is that thing?” Applejack asked.
“Ooh-ah-ooh, who is this dude?” Medizinisch asked as he hides in a bush.
“Mcallen.” Celestia answered Applejack.
Mcallen is giving off large amounts of electricity, and does a power plus that sends some cars flying. “The Royal Guard fires me.” Mcallen said in a demonic voice. “Says I'm not ... I'm not psychologically sound. I’ll show you sound!” He then fires at the recruitment center again. Then some unicorn guards fire at Mcallen, but he isn't being affected at all. “You're not fit to were that armor.” He then takes out the guards with relative ease with his super speed. He also kills a guard by electrocuting him. “Is that all you weak excuses for Royal Guards got? Huh?” Just then, Agua, Blitz, and Terra show up.
“Hold it right there, what ever you are.” Blitz said.
“Claws up where we can see them.” Agua finished.
“The Avatars.”
“Easy, friend.” Terra said to him. “Your hart-rate is nuts. Calm down. Theres no reason for this.”
“Oh yes there is.” Mcallen said as red energy appears at his front hoofs. “Lots of reasons. When the Royal Guard sees me take you down bare hoofed, they’ll have to take me back.” Mcallen said as he walks to them. Blitz charges up fires some lasers at Mcallen, but he doesn't stop. “Ha. I can't even feel that.”
“What are you?” Spike asked. “A zombie?” Agua then goes in and does some close combat. Mcallen is sent flying a few feet, but Mallen lands on his hoofs and runs to Agua. She tries to fly away, but Mcallen grabs her hoof and sends her across the street. Mallen then grabs Terre from behind and tosses her, and she hits a car.
“What ever you are, you got to have a central nerves system.” Blitz said to Mallen when he jumps on a car behind him. “Lets see you like this!” He then sends a lightning bolt in Mallen’s way, but he doesn't even flinch.
“Ha! I can feel it in my belly. It almost ... tickles." Blitz then stops as Agua and Terra walk up to him. “Do you know pain, Avatars? Let me tell you all about it!” Mcallen then jumps off and grabs Agua and uses her as a club. He sends Terra to the other end of the block while Blitz hits a wall with Agua.
The two then get up. “We’er threw playing around.” Agua said.
“Lets finished this!” Blitz finished. They then go elemental as Mallen jumps up into the air. They go for each other, but Mallen is faster and grabs them, and sends them hurtling to the ground. Both Blitz and Agua have their heads in the ground, barely conscious. When Mcallen lands, he gets a surprise.
“Blazing Strike!” A wave of fire hits Mcallen, thou he doesn't feel it. Twilight, Mcallen and the others see the source is Firebrand, with some bandages on. Fire’ is also barely able to stand. “You mess with my friends, you mess with me!” Fire’ said to the mutant.
“Ooh-ah-ooh, he is still alive, but maybe not for long.” Medizinisch said as he watches Mcallen walk to Fire.’
“Fine by me!” Mcallen then runs for Fire’ and grabs his front left leg and breaks it. “I’ll deal with you first! When I’m done, they have to scrap you off the street! I’m gonna fry your heart!” He then shocks Fire’ so badly, he screams in pain.
“No!” Twilight said as she stares in shock and horror. But before Mcallen can do anything else, some guards arrive and fire at Mcallen. Mcallen then gives Fire’ another, smaller, shock, sending him into another coma.
“What took you so long? Is Shining Armor with you? Does he see what I can do?”
“My brother doesn't have the time to deal with a monster like you!” Twilight said as some Wonderbolt pegasi encircle Mallen.
“Stand down now!” Celestia said to Mcallen in the Royal Canterlot Voice.
“All right. I’ll show Shining Armor and the world. You want me, come and get me!” He then charges at the pegasi and kills some of them. “I’m invincible. I can’t be touched!” He then electrocutes some more members, both on the ground and in the sky. “Shining didn't fired me, he ruined me. Bring me Shining now, or I'll tear the city apart!”
“He injured and killed dozens of ponies because Shining fired him,” Rainbow said as she stars in shock and horror, “overreact much?” Mcallen then runs. Twilight runs up to Fire,’ who is barely breathing. They then take him and the other Avatars to the emergence room.

Meanwhile, back at the Fire Nation Capital, Zuko feeds some ducks at a lake with some bread. They then fly away when Azula joins him. “You seem so downcast. Has Mai gotten to you already? Though actually, Mai has been in a strangely good mood lately.”
“I haven't seen Dad yet. I haven't seen him in 11 years since I was banished.”
“So what?”
“So, I didn't capture any of the Avatars.”
“Who cares? The Avatar of Fire is dead ... Unless you think he somehow miraculously survived.”
Zuko then remembers that Twilight knows some healing spells. “No. There's no way he could have survived.”
“Well, then I'm sure you have nothing to worry about.”

In an alleyway, a Pegasus guard is looking for Mcallen. “Sky Line to Lance, I’ve lost Mcallen. The fugitive is still at large.”
She leaves as Mcallen continues to walk down an alley. He then begins to hallucinate and sees a unicorn stallion walking up to him. “Shining Armor?”
“Guard Mcallen.” The hallucination said. “You are the best guard the Royal Guard has seen in decades.”
“I knew you would recognize my talent. Everypony has their time.”

At the Fire Nation capital, in the palace, Zuko kneels before Ozia. “You've been away for a long time. I see the weight of your travels has changed you. You have redeemed yourself, my son. Welcome home. I am proud of you, Prince Zuko. I am proud because you and your sister conquered Ba Sing Se. I am proud because when your loyalty was tested by your treacherous uncle, you did the right thing and captured the traitor. And I am proudest of all of your most legendary accomplishment: you slayed the Fire Avatar.”
“What did you hear?”
“Azula told me everything. She said she was amazed and impressed at your power and ferocity and the movement of truth.”

In the emergence room, Fire’ wakes up due to a light in his eye. “Your lucky to have survived.”
“Where am I?” Fire’ asked.
“Welcome back to the world of the living again, Firebrand.” Celestia said as she, Luna, Twilight and her friends, and the other Avatars, who have bandages on, are around him. Fire’ has a cast that goes from his hoof up to his shoulder.
“Fire,’ you're gonna have to take it easy for now on.” Luna said.
“Your gonna have to stay away from your sword for a few weeks, because if you go all out again in your condition, you're not coming back.” The Doc said.
“Oh, great. Things cannot get any worse.”
Shining and Cadence, who looks like she's two months pregnant, walk in, along with a unicorn stallion with a gray mane, a yellow coat, and a DNA strand for a cutie mark. “Shining, you have some explaining to do.” Twilight said to her brother.
“I know.” Shining said.

In the alleyway, Mcallen is still talking to the imaginary Shining. “Take me back sir. I promise I got my head back together. I didn't mean to lash out at Guard Dogen.”
“You have series mental problems, Guard Mcallen. You are relived of duty. You're a failure. A fraud. Your not fit to serve.”
Mcallen the gives off some sparks. “Shut up. Shut up!” He then punches at the hallucination, and nearly destroys a wall. He then notices that the Shining he thought was there is gone. “Shining? Shining Armor! I’m going to tear you limb from limb!”

“I’ve been working on some nano-machines I call nanites.” The Unicorn stallion that came with Shining and the pregnant Cadence said as the group walk down a hall in a university that specializes in robotics and genetic engineering.
“Wait, nanites. That's the stuff Deker gave us at Ba Sing Se.” Pinkie interrupted.
“Please, let me finish. Anyway, the nanites are machines that work on a cellular level, along the regeneration of cells, growing new bones and so on.” The doc said.
“How do they work?” Twilight asked.
“It works by rewriting your systems using you very own DNA, creating creatures I call 'E.V.O.s."
"What does that mean?" Applejack asked.
"E.V.O. stands for Exponentially Variegated Organism. The nanites are a modern attempt to recreate the super solider serum from World War II.” The doc finished.
“Those things are that old?” Rainbow said.
“Not this one. There are a few other, older attempts, but nanites, depending on how well programed they are, affects ponies differently.”
“No kidding.” Pinkie said. “It turned Mcallen into a scary-psycho-monster-E.V.O.-meanie-pants!”
They then reach the docs lab, full of serums and test forms. “Y’know, if nanites can heal the body and enhanced biology, I want some. Can you inject me with a reconfigured low dose.”
“What! Fire,’ think about this. It could turn you into a monster E.V.O.” Twilight said.
“Your out of your skull son.” The doc said. “I’m still in the testing phase. Beside, I’m the only one who can open the nanite vault, and I’m not doing that until we take care of our problem. Pulse, the only completely programed nanites I had were stolen.”
“Did you see what Mcallen did to me and the others. He's a biological weapon of mass destruction. He needs to be stop.” Fire’ said as a guard runs in and heads for Shining.
“Sir. Mcallen is at the center of Canterlot and demands blood, your blood.” The guard said to the captain.
“Thats it, if he wants me, he's gonna get me.” Shining then leaves, despite the protests from Cadence and Twilight. The group, except for Twilight and Fire,’ follow him.
“This stinks.” Fire’ said. “I can’t do anything now!” He then punches at a table.
“Fire.’”
“Yeah, Twiley. What is it?”
“Remember when we said that we left the nanites that Deker gave us at Ba Sing Se?”
“Yeah.”
“Well, I took it when they went looking.” She then takes the vile out of her saddlebag.
“You ... you did.”
“Yeah, I did. You can use it if you want.” She places it on a table and leaves. Fire’ then stares at the vile for a few moments before he locks the door.

“Twilight, why didn't you tell us you took the nanites Deker brought us!?”
“Rainbow, I had too. I was so worried about Fire’ that I...”
“This can wait,” the doc said, “we need to stop Fire’ before he uses the nanites.” They then head for the lab, the only ones who are not with them are Shining, Blitz, Agua, and Terra. When they get there, the doc uses his key card but gets a “Access denied.”
“Firebrand. You’ve lost it. Open this door!” Luna said as Fire’ takes the blue nanites.
“If I’m gonna have a chance against Mcallen and the Fire Nation, I need to be at the top of my game.” He then injects himself with the nanites Deker brought them. He then collapses to the floor and groans in pain. Outside, Celestia is charging her horn and blasts the door open. They run in and see Firebrand on the floor.
“Fire.’” Twilight said with a large amount of worry in her voice. Fire’ then stands up, still the same. “Oh my gosh. Your leg.” Twilight said as she points to his leg that was broken, but now completely healed.
“Fire’ you took some of the nanites?” Celestia said.
“Are you okay?” Twilight asked.
“I’m better then okay, I feel like a new pony. More alive than I ever felt.” He then hugs Twilight and lifts her up in the air.
“Whoa, easy. Your gonna crush my spine.” Twilight said. Fire’ then puts her back down.
“We better take you to the universities medical center to see if your okay. It's next to the robotics lab.” The doc said as they leave.

At the center of Canterlot, Mcallen is destroying everything that dares to even look at him. Medizinisch is watching form a destroyed pillar. “If he did end the Fire Avatar, then he will be a great ally” Medizinisch said. Shining and the other Avatars then show up.
“Mcallen!” Shining yelled.
“Captain Armor. Welcome to the afterlife. Were all dead here. You, me, this whole stinking world.”
“It’s over. Get on your knees. Your under arrest. Stand down, or I will knock that head off your shoulders.”
“I told you, I would be the greatest Royal Guard who ever lived.”
“Now you’ll be known as the ex-Royal Guard with the longest prison sentence.” Shining said as some young dragons surround Mcallen.
Mcallen looks at the dragons. “Ha ha. Your gonna have to do better than sending in some overgrown lizards!” Mcallen then takes out two of them.
“I don’t believe this.” Agua said as Mcallen kills the last of the dragons by either breaking there necks or frying them with his electric blasts.

In the university medical center, a doctor is getting ready to check Fire’ to see if there are any side effects. “We need you to check Fire’s vitals.” The doctor unicorn then places a holographic sheet over Fire’s chest. “Let's see, your completely healed and your heart rate is normal.”
"Good, now I can face Mcallen." Fire' said with determination.

At the Fire Nation Palace, Azula is asleep in her room when Zuko walks in. “Why did you do it?”
“You're going to have to be a little more specific.”
“Why did you tell Father that I was the one who killed the Fire Avatar?”
“Can't this wait until the morning?”
“It. Can't.”
Azula than sighs. “Fine. You seemed so worried about how Father would treat you because you hadn't captured the Avatar. I figured if I gave you the credit, you'd have nothing to worry about.”
“But why?”
“Call it a generous gesture. I wanted to thank you for your help and I was happy to share the glory.”
“You're lying.”
“If you say so...”
“You have another motive for doing this, I just haven't figured out what it is.”
“Please Zuko, what ulterior motive do I have? What could I possibly gain by letting you get all the glory for defeating the Avatar? Unless, somehow, the Avatar was actually alive. All that glory would suddenly turn to shame and foolishness. But you said it yourself, that was impossible.” Zuko then leaves. “Sleep well, Zuzu.”

In the streets on Canterlot, a gaud manages to get Mcallen on his back. “I’m getting sick of you, freak.” She then breaks his neck and takes a few steps back. Agua, Terre, and Blitz join her. They then see Mcallen’s head snap back into place, shocking them. Mcallen then gets back on his hoofs. He then charges at then and sends them flying a few feet. He turns around and sees Shining.
“I’m gonna send you back to your afterlife, Mcallen.” Shining then fires a gun at Mcallen, but he doesn't feel it at all.
“Your mine now Shining.” Mcallen then runs up to Shining, but he fight back and lands a few blows, but Mcallen grabs Shining’s face. “Die!” Mcallen then begins to crush Shining’s head slowly. But before he can do anything else, Fire’ flies in and knocks Mallen back several feet.
“Mcallen, we have some unfinished business. You and me.” Fire’ then sends a fireball at Mcallen. It explodes and Mcallen is sent throw the wall of a restaurant, scaring away the guests. Mcallen gets up and charges at Fire.’ Fire’ tries to hit Mcallen, but he doges the attacks and hits Fire’ several times. Mcallen then runs around Fire,' leaving a trail of electricity behind. Fire’ fires some lasers at Mcallen that actually hurt Mcallen and sends him behind a wall and into a construction site. Fire’ follows and Mcallen sends some lasers at Fire’ and charges at him. He hits Fire’ and send him to the ground.
“I would've killed you the last time if it wasn't for the Royal Guard. I had your heart in my claws, Firebrand.” Mcallen then fires a lightning bolt at Fire,’ putting Fire’ on the ground. He then runs to finished Fire.’ But before Mcallen could hit, Fire' notices an electrical cord that has 10x the power the Blitz can muster right underneath him. Fire’ then punches into the ground and pulls out the cord.
“Chew on this!” He then electrocutes Mcallen, sending him into a coma.
“Ooh-ah-ooh, now he's stronger too.” Medizinisch said as he leaves to tell Chrysalis and Discord that the Fire Avatar is alive and stronger than ever.

Later at a prison, an unconscious Mcallen is taken to a cell that he won’t be able to escape from, with Fire,’ Blitz, Agua, Terra, the main six, Celestia, Luna, Shining and Cadence watching. “Thanks again for saving me, Fire.’” Shining said to him. “And I still can’t believe that you took the nanites from Ba Sing Se. What were you thinking, Twiley?” They than laugh about the thought.
