Chapter 7: Meeting The Dark Lord

"Octocorn! You and your meanie colleagues will never get away with this!" Pinkie yelled.

Trixie chuckled. "Foolish little Squid Pony, ever since the war between humans and Octoponies ended, my kind were thinking of a way for revenge. But thanks to our master, Plankton, he gave us the opportunity to start anew."

"Enjoy hatred then." Jay said. "Jerk."

Kai was talking to Rainbow, Applejack, and Rarity. "So, do any of you have any siblings?"

"I had two siblings." Applejack explained. "The eldest was Big Macintosh, or Big Mac, and the youngest was Apple Bloom. Until that pickle-sized jerk took them away."

"I had a sister named Sweetie Belle." Rarity said. "But a changeling kidnapped her. And there was nothing I could do."

"There was this filly named Scootaloo." Rainbow added. "We had a strong connection. But one day, she vanished. But little did I know, a boy named Gideon and his steed, a changeling, had taken her away."

Fluttershy sighed. "This is going to be the worst day of my life! I thank Squidward for letting us out into the world, but not like this!"

"Take it easy, my four-legged friend." Zane replied calmly. "We'll find a way."

Kenny muffled in agreement.

Patrick pounded on the wall of Starlight's magic. "I want out! I. Want. Out!"

Fluttershy noticed Patrick's rage. "Patrick, calm down. They'll let us down sooner or later."

Twilight groaned. "This is disappointing."

"Disappointing indeed." Sandy said.

"Of course!" Patrick said sarcastically. "I'm way beyond disappointed!"

"Patrick, your only overreacting." Nya said.

"I DON'T CARE IF I'M OVERREACTING OR NOT!" Patrick yelled pounding the wall even more.

Starlight got fed up with Patrick's rage as she gets a pair of ear plugs and stuffed them into her ears. Starlight and Trixie entered the throne room with the travelers. What the travelers saw were many changelings and nindroids staring at them. Starlight throws the travelers in front of Plankton's throne as Plankton jumps off his throne.

"Welcome." Plankton said in a menacing tone. "You must be new here." He lifts Twilight's head. "I suppose Celestia and Luna sent you here."

Twilight glared at Plankton. "Yes. And they told us a lot about you."

"It seems that all of you are the Elements of Harmony." Plankton guessed. "Maybe that medallion has chosen all of you."

"It gave us the answers." Kai said. "And we will stop you!"

Plankton laughed. "Well all of you are just kids, ponies, and strange creatures I've never heard of before!"

"Yeah?" Lloyd asked. "Well, you're tiny!"

Plankton puts on a shocked face. "Words can hurt, you know!"

"Oh, I knew that." Lloyd said.

"But never mind that." Plankton said. "I have a surprise for all of you."

Two changelings bring Celestia and Luna in chains.

Twilight gasped. "Princess Celestia! Princess Luna!"

"You know those two?" Sandy asked.

"They let us stay in their castle in childhood." Nya said.

Plankton turned to Celestia. "So, you and your sister taken care of those three for several years?"

Celestia didn't say a word.

"Very well then." Plankton said walking to his throne. "When the full moon shines above me tomorrow night, I will drink from the potion and become a new nightmare. Then, I will fly to the Mainland and destroy the king, once and for all! And there will be nothing but darkness, chaos, and fear!"

Twilight glared at Plankton and flew above him. She blasted a beam of magic from her horn, but Plankton brought out a shield to block Twilight's attack. He puts the shield away as Twilight was about to throw another beam at Plankton. Starlight shot a beam at Twilight's and the two beams were pushing each other. But Starlight kept putting pressure on hers. Starlight's beam hit Twilight and Twilight falls to the ground unconscious.

"Twilight!" Kai exclaimed. He ran to Twilight and gave her an inspection. Then he turned to Starlight. "What did you do!?"

Starlight laughed. "My apologies. Your friend needed some sleep." Starlight was about to blast a ray of magic at Kai, but Zane got out a pair of shurikens and threw them at her. Starlight glared at Zane.

"If you want to hurt my friends, you have to get through me." Zane said.

Starlight chuckled. "Then our battle has just begun." She said getting out a spear.

Pinkie turned to Jay. "You take the changelings! I'll take the Octocorn!"

Jay smiled and ran to Chrysalis. "Hey. It's been years since I've saw you."

Chrysalis laughed. "We meet again. I bet you already know what happened to your parents. Ever since I've knocked you out, my changelings burned your home down. But before we went to your cabin, we made sure that your father was disposed of."

Jay puts a shocked face on. "You did that?"

"Of course." Chrysalis said.

Tears fell off Jay's face, but he shook his head and ran to fight Chrysalis.

Rainbow and Lloyd saw a little boy with white hair wearing a white shirt, pale blue pants, black shoes, and a cloak with the matching color of his pants riding a changeling. Lloyd went onto Rainbow's back as Rainbow flew to fight the changeling.

"Release Sombra!" Plankton said.

A dark stallion came out of the darkness and turned to Plankton. "What's your command, Master?"

Plankton points to Kenny and Fluttershy. "Get that little wizard and pony!"

Tentacles came out of Sombra's back as Kenny gets on Fluttershy's back and Fluttershy flew to dodge the tentacle.

Squidward was weakening some changelings with his magic clarinet. Mabel, Rarity, and Cole were fighting some nindroids. Sandy was riding Applejack shooting some nindroids and Applejack was bashing through changelings.

Spongebob was doing karate on some changelings. He takes out a gem and saw a changeling coming at him. "Eat this!" He shoves the gem into the changeling's mouth and punches him.

Zane noticed Patrick running around in circles. "Patrick! This is no time to panic! We have to fight!"

"I don't even know what fighting is!" Patrick exclaimed.

Squidward was surrounded by many changelings and couldn't fight all of them off, but Nya managed to help Squidward fight the changelings.

Plankton saw the fight from his throne.

Celestia turned to Plankton. "Plankton, please don't do this. This isn't the way to solve things."

Plankton turned to Celestia. "Say whatever you want, Celestia. I get what I deserve most."

"But, Plankton," Luna said. "We just wanted to make it up to you."

"It's too late to apologize, Luna." Plankton replied. "There's nothing you and Celestia can do about it."

Pinkie was struggling fighting Trixie. She tried to get up, but Trixie pinned her down.

"I had fun playing with you, Squid Pony." Trixie said. "Our master deserves his reign."

"Says you, Octocorn." Pinkie said weakly.

Jay turned and saw Pinkie weakened. "Pinkie!"

Chrysalis blasted magic at Jay. "I always knew you didn't have the strength to stop me."

Sombra catches Fluttershy and Kenny.

Starlight turns Zane's shurikens into handcuffs and stuns Patrick.

"That's not fair." Patrick said.

Squidward and Nya were tied up. Applejack and Sandy were surrounded. Spongebob was tied upside down. Cole, Mabel, and Rarity were in chains. Rainbow and Lloyd were beaten up.

"Get that alicorn." Plankton said.

Sombra takes Twilight. "What about the one in red?"

"I almost forgot." Plankton said turning to Starlight. "Starlight, you know what to do."

Starlight shoots a ray at Kai. The ray hits Kai's chest which made him gasp in pain and fall to the ground.

Plankton laughed. "I had fun watching your friends suffer from my companions. And once my reign starts, everyone will bow down to me!"

"You'll never get away with this." Kai said weakly.

"I already have." Plankton replied turning to Chrysalis. "Chrysalis, dispose of him!"

Chrysalis carried Kai with her magic and threw him out the window. Kai fell out of the window and many memories of him and his friends came into his head. The time when he and Nya met Twilight, the time when Twilight got her Cutie Mark from defending Canterlot from an Ursa Minor, and the time he was flying on Twilight in the night sky. All those memories faded as Kai went into the water.

The rest were shocked of what Chrysalis done.

Plankton turned to his companions. "Now that you stopped them from preventing my reign, lock them up."

Plankton's companions take the travelers to the dungeon.

Plankton turned and saw Discord's face guilty for the travelers. "Discord, you brought me shame too many times!" He turns to three changelings. "Lock him up too!"

The three changelings take Discord to the dungeon.

After the travelers got locked up, Kenny used a spell to awaken Twilight, turn the handcuffs on Zane's wrists back to shurikens, and to bring Patrick out of Starlight's stun spell.

Jay ran to Pinkie. "Pinkie, are you okay?"

Pinkie coughed and opened her eyes. "Yeah. I'm totally okay. All this Octopony ink will dry off sooner or later. I just need some rest."

Jay smile and hugged Pinkie. "I'm so glad you're okay, Pinkie."

Twilight rubbed her head. "What happened?" She opens her eyes and saw that she and the others were in the dungeon and Kai was gone. "Where's Kai?"

"Your friend has been vanquished!" Discord said. "You will all be vanquished. So will Celestia and Luna. And it's all my fault."

Mabel walks to Discord. "It's not your fault, Discord. You were only trying to help us, but you failed to get back what was yours."

"Mabel, I'm just a disgrace to the world." Discord replied as he leaned on a wall. "If only there was a way to get my freedom back." He curls up in a corner and sobs.

"To be honest with all of you, I pity Discord since he lost his freedom." Squidward said.

Cole turned to Discord. "Discord, don't blame yourself. Blame Patrick! He's the reason why we got into this mess."

"So you're saying it's my fault?" Patrick asked.

"All you did was run around in circles!" Rainbow exclaimed. "Which makes it your fault!"

"Well it's not my fault that Kai is gone." Patrick said.

"Kai has been there for me for years." Twilight added. "And you just let him die!"

"Did not." Patrick said in disagreement.

Pinkie popped up behind Patrick. "Did to!"

Everyone started to argue, but Zane had enough.

"Everyone!" Zane said. "Calm down. Now's no time to be fearful."

"It's the perfect time to be fearful!" Lloyd yelled.

"Can I be fearful?" Patrick asked.

"For goodness sake, Patrick, no!" Rarity yelled.

"Yes!" Nya yelled.

Kenny muffled to the rest.

"What is he saying?" Spongebob asked.

"Kenny's saying that it wasn't Discord's fault." Fluttershy translated. "It wasn't Patrick's either. It also wasn't Kai's. It was no one's fault at all. We just tried our best to stop Plankton. We didn't fail the objective, but we lost the battle. It wasn't Celestia or Luna's fault. We just tried our best. He also sensed that Kai isn't dead, but unconscious."

Mabel sat next to Discord. "Maybe I'll never find my brother."

Nya sat next to Mabel. "We'll find him."

Twilight looked out the window. "Where are you?"

Author's Note:

Who will Kai bump into next? Will he be able to save his friends? Will Mabel find her brother?
