The crystal portal opened into a brand-new world. From the other side, the ‘Mane Six’ and Spike emerged. When they walked through the portal, as always, they looked around their new surroundings as the portal closed behind them. From what they could see, they stood upon some courtyard of some building of sorts. The sound of dragged chains drew their attention to the sidelines, where some men walked down a hallway. They were all chained together, a chain gang, escorted by men with guns. The very sight concerned the entire group greatly.
“W-W-Where are we?” Fluttershy quaked with fear.
“My guess would be some sort of prison,” Twilight responded.
“Prison?!” Rainbow gasped in fear. “No! Nuh-uh! No way! I don’t think so! I’m too young to be doing hard time!”
Applejack quickly threw a hoof over her mare friend’s mouth, keeping her quiet.
“Will ya keep it together Dash?!” She scolded silently. “Last thing we need is tah draw unwanted attention to ourselves.”
“I think that may be a tad difficult considering we’re magical talking ponies,” Rarity pointed out.
“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it,” Twilight assured. “Follow me.”
Twilight Sparkle proceeded to lead the group toward an isolated area of the courtyard, where no prisoners or guards were about. Once in the dark, the Alicorn princess ignited her horn to life and cast a spell upon them all. Soon hooves and claws shifted to hands as the magic transformed them into their human forms. As the spell dissipated, every pony emerged from the shadows and looked down at themselves, sighing with some measure of relief.
“Okay, now we should be able to blend in slightly more,” Twilight said relieved.
“Is it just me, or have we been taking on human forms more recently during these adventures?” Spike questioned. “Not that it’s a bad thing, but it’s become… frequent.”
“I blame the writing,” Pinkie shrugged.
Hey! We’re doing the best we can!
Besides, had we not turned you guys human, who knows what would happen to you in this world? Well, we do… and it’s not pretty.
“Touche!” Pinkie spoke to the sky.
“Pinkster, who’re you talking to?” Rainbow asked.
“No need to worry Dashie,” Pinkie giggled.
“Well, what do we have here?”
Everyone jumped and turned as a group of prisoners approached from behind them. Leading this dangerous lot was a big Asian man with very short dark hair. The like of which made him look almost bald, complete with a goatee to match.
“New meat boys,” The man grinned wickedly. “And such pretty faces too. We don’t see many pretty girls in here. And look… they even brought a sibling. Isn’t that cute?”
The men soon surrounded the girls and Spike like a pack of hungry hyenas ready to pounce.
“Please don’t hurt us,” Fluttershy whimpered. “T-T-This is all a big misunderstanding—”
“Oh, don’t worry little girl,” The man replied. “We’ll make this quick for you. But I must warn you… first times often get a little… messy.”
The men snickered as they began to advance toward them, until Spike stepped right in front of them.
“Touch any of us and I’ll roast you alive!” He threatened.
The men paused for just a split second before they burst out laughing, loudly. It took a moment for Spike to put the two-and-two together, that he stood before them as not his usual dragon self… but a human teenage boy. Eventually, the men stopped laughing and the big man looked down upon the teen dragon turned boy.
“What are you going to do boy?” He asked.
*WHAM!*
On instinct, Spike delivered a stiff punch across the man’s jaw and the Equestrians gasped at the sudden action. The man stood with his head reared back, but then a chuckle escaped his lips. Slowly, he turned to face Spike again smiling ever so sinisterly with a bit of blood dripping down his lip.
“O-O-Oh Faust, man! I don’t know what came over me; I was just—”
*WHAM!*
Before Spike had any time to reply, the big man threw a massive punch toward Spike’s face knocking him right toward the dirt.
“SPIKE!!!” The girls yelled.
The man merely laughed as he stood over Spike, who tried to pick himself off the ground while spitting out blood in the process. The man then delivered a stiff kick to the gut and Spike rolled over, clutching his stomach in agony as he gasped for air.
“Leave him alone you jerk!” Rainbow yelled.
The rainbow-haired girl leapt upon the guy’s back and wrapped her arms around his head with a chokehold, trying to choke him out. But soon a pair of criminals reached out to rip her off. Rainbow Dash struggled slightly in their grip as they tried to force her to the ground.
*BAM!*
Applejack slammed one criminal in the face with a stiff kick knocking him flat on his back. With only one criminal left to deal with, Rainbow Dash slammed her elbows against the sternum loosening his grip. She then leaned the man forward and delivered a stiff knee against his nose, knocking him down. The other criminal was preoccupied with Applejack, who forced him down on the dirt as he scratched and clawed to regain his footing.
A few other thugs were busy with their friends, trying to grab them in more ways than none. Fluttershy was scared stiff as Twilight, Pinkie, and Rarity surrounded her in defense, as they found themselves backing into a corner.
In the meantime, the big man saw the other two girls dealing with his cellmates when others swarmed toward them, locking them in tight holds. Their leader slowly stalked toward them… when suddenly, the man hissed in pain. Spike had used one ounce of strength to leap from behind him and sunk his teeth on the calf of his right leg. Spike pinched his jaws as tightly as he could, as the big man twisted around and proceeded to wrap one hand against the back of Spike’s neck forcing him loose and holding him up till their eyes met. The man smirked sinisterly as he proceeded to thrust a fist against the boy’s ribs, shoved him back to the ground, and delivered a kick against the boy’s head. The more Spike tried to get up, the more punishment he received.
“I’m the king of this place boy!” The man snarled, kicking the boy’s sides. “You… are nothing!”
“Spike!” Rarity cried out.
“HEY!!”
The man stopped his assault and turned toward the one who yelled out to him, along with everyone else. Walking towards the group was a tall young man with dark-brown messy hair and goatee, dressed in dirty clothes.
“Leave the kids alone!” The man warned.
The big man and the other criminals chuckled once more over the sight of the younger man walking towards them.
“Leave now boy before you end up like this little worm,” The big man gestured to an injured Spike.
“I make you the same offer,” The young man retorted.
Once again, the big guy laughed before making a mad dash for the young man. He went for a huge right hook, to which the young man expertly dodged and countered with a stiff knee to the gut. The impact knocked the air out of the big man’s lungs. All at once, all the other thugs ran toward the young man. An all-out brawl soon ignited before the eyes of the Equestrian Heroes.
They watched as the young man hurled expert punches toward everyone. The group stood amazed as the man dodged the incoming attacks. One moment he back body-dropped one guy over his head, and then body slammed another in rapid fashion. He kicked one guy so hard in the leg, the girls cringed over a *CRACK!* as the guy screamed out in pain. Eventually, the young man had taken each and every criminal down to the point where they were either bleeding, crying out in pain, or out cold.
“Whoa…” Rainbow gaped in awe.
The man looked over toward the remaining young girls, who were helping their friend off the ground. Spike clutched his stomach as he gasped for air, a black eye was caught in the light following that brutal assault.
“Are you alright Spike?” Twilight asked worriedly.
“Ugh—yeah—I’m alright,” Spike grunted in pain. “He really got me there… but I’m cool.”
“No, you’re not!” Rarity argued. “You need medical attention; is there a doctor here?!”
By that point, the young man approached and offered them his hand in aid. Everyone eyed him for a brief moment, contemplating if they could trust him. But then again, he ‘did’ lay out a whole bunch of criminals to save them. Spike slowly reached out and grabbed his hand, allowing the young man to throw Spike’s arm over his shoulder, hook his own arm around the boy’s waist, and escorted him across the grounds.
“Thank you so much mister,” Pinkie spoke gratefully. “I don’t know what those big meanie heads were going to do to us if you hadn’t stepped in.”
“No doubt it wouldn’t have been anything good,” Rarity cringed.
“I’d have taken them all if I wanted to,” Rainbow spoke up.
The young man said nothing, just proceeded to help lead them to an area within the prison that could only be described as a medical ward. In actuality, it was merely a large jail cell where an elderly Asian man sat in a chair reading an old book. He looked up and noticed the young man dragging Spike in. Quickly, he stood up from the chair and gestured to a filthy bed in the cell corner.
“Lay him there,” He instructed.
The young man laid Spike upon the bed as gently as he could, so as not to hurt him anymore than he already was. The old man proceeded to look over him. While doing this, in a moment of gratitude, Twilight Sparkle embraced the young man with a hug, much to his and everyone else’s confusion.
“Thank you,” She whispered harshly.
The young man merely stood there until Twilight finally let go and he gave her a small nod.
“No problem,” He responded casually.
“I didn’t catch your name by the way,” Twilight informed.
“I didn’t give it,” The young man retorted.
He sat on a chair in the cell and began rubbing the dirt off his face. He looked back up seeing Twilight and the rest of the girls looking at him. With a heavy sigh, he threw his head back.
“It’s Wayne,” He introduced himself. “Bruce Wayne.”
“Well, we ow you much thanks for your help, Bruce,” Rarity smiled. “We’d have lost our friend if not for you.
“It’s fine, just don’t mention it… ever,” Bruce sighed.
At that moment, the old man looking over Spike finished his task and turned his attention toward the group.
“He has bruising of the ribs and a badly swollen eye,” He informed. “But a little rest and he’ll be fine.”
“Thank you so much,” Twilight thanked him. “Is there any way we can repay you mister…”
“Call me Seong,” The old man bowed his head. “You don’t need to repay me. Nothing like this should have happened to your friend or to all of you for that matter.”
“No kidding,” Rainbow agreed. “What’s with those guys anyway?”
The old man offered no reply, merely shrugged his shoulders.
“Where the hay are we anyway?” Applejack asked.
“This is Bhutan,” Seong responded. “We are in a prison in the Himalayas. How is it that a group of children such as yourselves end up here? What’re you even in here for?”
“We didn’t do anything illegal if that’s what you’re thinking,” Rainbow answered.
“You wouldn’t believe us if we told ya partner,” Applejack answered honestly.
“We’re just some victims of circumstance,” Pinkie added. “It’s not like we just escaped from a scaffold or anything!”
“Pinkie, please!” Rarity groaned.
“Well, it looks as though we’re stuck here for the time being,” Twilight spoke solemnly.
“But we can’t stay here,” Fluttershy squeaked. “Those men will just come back and try to hurt us.”
“We don’t have a choice Fluttershy,” Twilight responded. “We’re surrounded by armed guards and criminals with no idea how to get out… least not under our circumstances.”
“Well isn’t this a ‘great’ start to this adventure?” Rainbow said sarcastically.
“You can all stay here for the time being,” Seong told them. “We will keep you safe.”
“Thank you Mr. Seong,” Twilight thanked him. “I promise we won’t be a bother.”
Seong nodded before gazing out the cell and saw that in all this time, the sun had already set. The stars began to appear in the sky above.
“We must all sleep,” Seong said. “We have extra blankets for all of you, but sadly no extra beds.”
“Ain’t no problem for us,” Applejack replied. “We can rough it fer a bit.”
“Perhaps you can,” Rarity replied. “I for one have no desire to sleep on a dirty cold floor.”
“The only other option is to bunk out with those other criminals,” Bruce spoke up. “I don’t think they’ll be as accommodating as us.”
Rarity’s eyes quickly went wide before she quickly snatched a blanket and old pillow. In rapid fashion, she laid them out on the ground.
“On second thought, the ground sounds quite lovely,” She responded nervously.
“Good choice,” Bruce replied.
The rest of the girls proceeded to grab a blanket and pillow each. Casually, they laid them out on the ground before laying down. It may have been dirty, cold, and somewhat painful, but it was surely better than being surrounded by crazy prisoners out to hurt them. As they all closed their eyes for the night, they shared the same thought going through their heads.
What did we get ourselves into now?
<>
A pair of brilliant amethyst eyes opened up as Twilight Sparkle found herself standing outside what looked like a giant mansion. The mansion itself was absolutely marvelous with an elegantly formed foundation, a lush garden region, and a view that overlooked a giant city just on the outskirts of the mansion. She blinked her eyes a few times as she tried to understand what she was seeing.
“Where am I?” She asked herself.
Suddenly, the sound of giggling made her turn her attention to her side. Distant children’s laughter coming closer, as sunlight flickered through the trees running through the summer garden. Twilight saw a young girl with brown hair running across the yard of the mansion. Chasing after her was a young boy about ten years old.
“Catch me if you can Bruce!” The girl called over her shoulder.
“Rachel, let me see!” The boy called back.
The two children raced across the garden as Twilight watched after them.
“Bruce?” She asked herself. “Is this Bruce Wayne when he was younger? How am I seeing this?”
While these thoughts went on through her head, Twilight decided to follow the children to understand exactly what was going on. She ran after them through the garden while trying to keep herself hidden. She had no idea if they could even see her or not, but better to be safe than sorry. Eventually, she followed young Bruce into the greenhouse area where his little friend Rachel hid under one of the tables. Bruce knelt beside her as she held something behind her back.
“Come on Rachel, can I see?” Bruce asked.
“Finders keepers and I found it,” Rachel bragged.
“In MY garden!” Bruce reminded Rachel.
Rachel smiled as she pulled her arms out from behind her and opened her palm to reveal what resembled an arrowhead. Bruce smirked before quickly snatching the object off her hand and bolted from the greenhouse.
“Finders keepers!” He shouted loudly.
Rachel proceeded to pursue him, and Twilight followed closely behind the children though the greenhouse. The whole time she tried to determine just exactly what she was even seeing.
“This is obviously some kind of memory,” She informed herself. “But why am I seeing it? What purpose does it serve?”
Eventually, she followed Bruce to a region within the greenhouse where he hid behind a stone wall just as Rachel came in looking for him.
“Bruce?” She called out.
Bruce poked his head out from behind the wall he hid behind and then…
*CRACK!!!*
The wooden floor he knelt upon gave way under the boy’s weight. He tumbled down a storm well before landing at the bottom of what looked like a cave of sorts. Rachel noticed this and ran over to check if he was alright.
“Bruce?!” She called out.
But she heard no response. Worried, she proceeded to race out of the greenhouse calling for help.
“MOM! MR. ALFRED!”
Twilight, meanwhile, rushed over toward the well and cautiously looked down. She saw Bruce lying on the ground at the mouth of the cave itself. She considered using her magic to bring the boy back up, except… what would that accomplish? If this was all just a memory, nothing Twilight would do could change what has already taken place.
All of a sudden, her ears flicked as she recognized what sounded like fluttering heard inside the cave. The young Bruce looked toward the darkness with fear in his eyes. All at once, a giant swarm of bats burst from the cave and made their way up the well. Twilight fell to the ground as the bats started to overwhelm her.
Then eventually… all went black.
<>
Twilight’s eyes shot open, as she sat up quickly with a heavy gasp. Soon she found herself breathing heavily, clutching her chest as her eyes darted around herself. All her friends had just emerged from their own sleep. The princess soon looked over and noticed Bruce laying on his own bed, his eyes wide open as well. She soon noticed Seong sitting on his bed and merely looked at the two.
“Did you have a dream?” He asked Bruce.
“Nightmare,” Bruce corrected.
“Worse than this?” Seong gestured to the prison.
Bruce sat up in bed, looking across the other cell where the big guy from yesterday eyed him with murderous intent. Bruce merely sighed and leaned back against the wall of the cell. Meanwhile, the Mane Six collective emerged from their slumber, groaning while doing so.
“Man, my back feels like it got hit by a boulder!” Rainbow groaned in pain.
“My ‘face’ feels like it got struck by a boulder!” Spike muttered, rubbing his eye.
“I’ll never complain about another bed ever again,” Rarity whined, massaging her back.
Just then, a loud rumbling sound had them all looking over Pinkie Pie, who merely giggled in response.
“Oops, sorry about that ladies,” She smiled. “My tummy is feeling rumbly. I was so excited for Nightmare Night; I didn’t even have dinner.”
“Luckily, it’s time for breakfast,” Seong declared, standing up.
No sooner did he say that than Spike leapt from the other cot.
“Someone say breakfast?” He asked eagerly, then grimaced. “Ow…”
Twilight got up from the floor and approached her number one assistant. Upon a quick inspection, Spike’s eye was much more swollen today following the beating he took the other day.
“Are you feeling okay?” She asked worriedly.
“A little,” Spike groaned. “Still sore, but at least I can stand up. Besides, I could use a little grub.”
“Then let’s quit yapping and get snacking!” Rainbow spoke.
The group proceeded to depart from the cell and worked their way out to the courtyard. The yard was now filled with more prisoners than the day before. Guards stood all around with machine guns keeping a sharp eye out on everyone. Prisoners lined the yard, either doing prison work or waiting to eat. The Equestrian heroes got in line for breakfast and noticed a few prisoners walking away with bowls of what looked like white liquid and lumps of stuff in it.
“What kind of breakfast do they serve here?” Spike asked.
“Gruel,” Seong replied casually.
“I’d rather eat rock soup, thank you,” Rainbow said disgusted.
“Trust me hun, you don’t,” Applejack shook her head.
“Oh what I’d give for an omelet with egg whites and scallions,” Rarity said hungrily.
“Great, now you got me thinking about it!” Rainbow groaned.
“This feels just like the adult version of a British period musical drama based on a famous 1830’s novel,” Pinkie added, then gasped. “Say… any pony care for a light-hearted musical number on the joy of food?!”
“NOOOO!!!” The group objected.
“… Party poopers!” Pinkie frowned childishly.
Finally, Bruce made it to the front of the line as the cook dumped a scoopful of gruel into a bowl for him. He looked over, noticing the big guy and his gang walking in his direction. Of course, the young man merely acted as though he didn’t notice.
“They are going to fight you,” Seong whispered to him.
“Again?” Bruce rolled his eyes.
“Until they kill you.”
“Can’t they kill me before breakfast?”
“Perhaps if we just offer our meals peacefully, they’ll leave us alone?” Fluttershy asked hopefully.
Suddenly, the big guy swatted his bowl to the ground. His eyes stared upon Bruce with a malicious smile spread across his face.
“You are in hell, little boy!” He grinned.
*WHAM!!!*
A sudden right hook had Bruce leaning against the counter until the guy grabbed his hair and forced him to look directly in the eyes.
“And I am the devil,” The guy finished.
The big guy delivered yet another punch, causing Bruce to stagger back. But the young man merely shook it off.
“You’re not the devil,” He spoke defiantly. “You’re practice.”
The guy aimed another punch, but Bruce deflected it and elbowed the man square in the face before delivering a massive headbutt. Another guy attempted to intervene, but Bruce grabbed him and slammed him through the counter. All the other prisoners jumped in attempting to attack. Bruce simply used his momentum to kick himself off the counter and sent them crashing to the muddy ground. The whole time, Spike and the girls watched beside Seong.
“We need to do something!” Rainbow said. “He may be holding his own now, but who knows how long that’ll last?”
“What are we supposed to do?” Rarity asked.
“What do you think? Shut up and fight!”
Before anyone else could throw their two bits, Rainbow leapt upon one of the guys and took him down with a massive head scissor.
“Aww yeah! That’s how we do it in Equestria!” Rainbow bragged.
She proceeded to jump another guy, as Bruce dragged another through the mud. Not wanting to just stand on the sidelines, the others shrugged before leaping into the fray. Applejack delivered one guy a stiff kick to the groin, the prisoner’s eyes bulged out and he fell onto the ground wincing in pain. Spike raked another guy across the face with his nails and hit a stiff uppercut under the chin. Rarity locked a guy in a headlock as Fluttershy swept a leg under him and knocked him flat. Twilight proceeded to roundhouse kick three guys in the back of the heads causing them to flip themselves back-first onto the mud. Pinkie Pie merely took two bowls of gruel from some random prisoners and slammed them against one prisoner’s head like cymbals, and the man fell backwards, his face dripping with hot gruel and broken bowl pieces.
Suddenly, the guards started firing warning shots into the air, before jumping in and prying Bruce (And the Equestrians) away.
“Solitary!” One guard yelled, dragging them off.
“For what?!” Bruce yelled.
“Protection!” The guard responded.
“I don’t need protection.”
“Protection for them!” The guard corrected, gesturing to the fallen goons.
“Oh come on, they started it!” Rainbow yelled.
The guards dragged the group down to the Solitary Confinement unit of the prison. One by one, they were tossed into a large stone cell with a big iron door.
“Get in!” The guard demanded, shoving them inside.
Once everyone was inside, the guards locked the door behind them. They picked themselves off the ground, as their eyes adjusted to the dark.
“Well that’s just great!” Rainbow said sarcastically. “We’re stuck here because of those jerk-heads!”
“The only one that should be blamed here is you!” Rarity pointed out. “Had you just stayed out of it, we wouldn’t be here right now. Classic Rainbow Dash, always making a scene.”
“Classic Rarity, never letting things go!” Rainbow countered.
“It just happened!” Rarity exclaimed loudly.
“Please don’t fight!” Fluttershy squeaked.
“I for one am glad to give that jerk a good punch!” Spike spoke proudly. “Nobody makes a punching bag out of this guy!”
While they were talking, Twilight walked over and helped Bruce back to his feet.
“Sorry about getting you into this mess,” She apologized.
“It has nothing to do with you,” Bruce replied. “I’ve been fighting those guys since the day I got thrown in here.”
“But why?” Twilight asked.
“Guess you can say I have a punchable face,” Bruce joked.
“I often wonder at the riches to be found in dark places.”
A new voice caused everyone to cease speaking and they looked over toward the darkness of the cell corner. From out of the shadows, a middle-aged man stepped out. He had dark hair, a forked beard, and even wore a rather nice three-piece suit. A tad weird for the Equestrians seeing as though they were in a prison.
“Are you so desperate to fight criminals that you lock yourself in to take them on one at a time?” The man asked Bruce.
“Actually, there were seven of them,” Bruce informed.
“I thought it was nine,” Rainbow corrected.
“I counted ‘six’, Mr. Wayne,” The man responded.
Bruce froze and slowly turned back to look the man in the eyes.
“How do you know my name?” He asked curiously.
The man gave a small smirk before responding.
“The world is too small for a man like Bruce Wayne to disappear, no matter how deep he chooses to sink.”
The man then looked over toward the Mane Six and Spike.
“Though I must admit, I was not counting on the Elements of Harmony to drop into this prison.”
All eyes, from Spike and the girls, went wide upon hearing that.
“You know who we are?” Twilight questioned.
“Indeed,” The man nodded. “I have a vast knowledge of worlds beyond this one. Nothing happens that I do not know about. I believe you can show us your ‘true selves’ now.”
The Mane Six and Spike looked back and forth between on other, then to Bruce and the man who seemed to know who they were. With a reluctant sigh, Twilight closed her eyes as her magic began to envelop them all. Once cleared, they once more assumed their equine and dragon forms respectively, and the man smiled with satisfaction.
“Much better,” He said.
Bruce, meanwhile, stood shocked and confused.
“Just when you think you’ve seen it all,” He mumbled.
“So you know about us, but we know nothing about you,” Twilight told the man.
“Who are you?” Bruce asked.
“My name is merely ‘Ducard’, but I speak on behalf of Ra’s Al Ghul,” The man responded. “I trust you’ve heard the name?”
The Mane Six and Spike merely shook their heads, yet Bruce looked as though he in fact knew something.
“I’ve heard the legends,” He responded. “Master warrior, international mercenary, feared by all the criminal underworld, some even say he’s immortal.”
“You know your history Mr. Wayne,” Ducard smirked. “But he is also a man who can offer you a path. He can offer all of you a path.”
This caused Bruce to chuckle and lean back against a wall.
“What makes you think I need a path?” He asked skeptically.
“Or us for that matter?” Twilight asked. “We already have a destined path set before us.”
“A path that has landed you right here and now,” Ducard reminded her. “Someone like Mr. Wayne is only here by choice. You have been exploring the criminal fraternity, but whatever your original intentions you have become truly lost.”
This caused Bruce to look back at Ducard, only this time he actually looked like he was listening.
“And what path can Ra’s Al Ghul offer?” He asked.
“The path of a man who shares his hatred of evil and wishes to serve true justice,” Ducard responded. “The path of the League of Shadows.”
Once again, Bruce delivered a sarcastic chuckle.
“You’re vigilantes,” He chuckled.
“No, no, no,” Ducard shook his head. “A vigilante is just a man lost in the scramble for his own gratification. He can be destroyed or locked up. But if you make yourself more than just a man, if you devote yourself to an ideal, and if they can’t stop you, then you become something else entirely.”
“Which is?”
“Legend, Mr. Wayne.”
Ducard soon turned back toward the ‘Mane Six’ and Spike.
“You all were always meant to be much more than mere agents of peace and harmony,” He told them. “Celestia always knew it, but never told you how much more you were meant for.”
He started to make his way for the door before turning back once again.
“Tomorrow, you will all be released. If you are bored of brawling with thieves and want to achieve something, there is a rare blue flower that grows on the eastern slopes. Pick one of these flowers. If you can carry it to the top of the mountain… you may find what you were looking for in the first place.”
“And what was I looking for?” Bruce asked.
“Only you can know that…” Ducard smirked.
The man left the cell and the guards sealed (and locked) the door behind them again. This left Bruce and the Equestrians pondering in the darkness of the cell, wondering just what happened. One thing was certain: Things had gotten more complicated than they had been before.
Okay, this has gotten really interesting. How did Ducard know about Twilight and her friends and the Elements of Harmony? I'm just glad they don't have to stay in that hell hole of a prison.
And so, we come to the chapter in which our heroes meet the man who would eventually become Batman, playboy billionaire Bruce Wayne... in prison... in some far-off country. Good thing that the guards are not one to question why some random colorful girls and a boy have winded up in their facility without even going through some form of legal processing... but then it's a bad thing because they're the subjects of intentional violence by the prison's most dangerous criminals. Luckily, the group are not complete pushovers especially since Bruce is apparently an expert in combat (That's a surprise for the group).
Suddenly, they find themselves in the presence of a man who represents someone very powerful and could be their guide to at least uncover Bruce's full potential. Course, things are about to get crazier from here on out. Especially since it was Twilight who saw a vision of Bruce's past.

Locations and circumstances like that prison are why I would 'never' want to find myself going to such a place. As far as how Ducard 'knows' about the group themselves... that is a mystery. But then, we'd be surprised how quick word gets around in light of their reputations. All the more reason for the girls and Spike to be cautious. Who knows what other folk in this world knows of them?
Mr. Devil, could you let me eat my cat vomit first? I'm sure the chefs worked very hard on it.
Your shaky cam nearly killed them!
11389875
The Benefactor is "friend" of the League of Shadows...
11389878
Yeah... Who knows? I think our heroes need to be more and more cautious as the story goes on.
You're a YouTuber, aren't you?
11389877
Ducard knowing a lot about other words..... intriguing
It's official, it was the toughest and most dangerous entrance (by far) that the heroes have had during their cinematic adventures, not counting Sunset and their first meeting with Galen. Poor Spike, he's always the one who gets the worst of it, although it turned out better for him in the second round, I hope that now he has the opportunity to improve (and that he doesn't get trauma from what happened to him in the ring)... although it shows that they still have some of what they learned when they went with Mystery Inc to WWE City.
Why are they in such a dangerous place as soon as they enter? To find out who will be the protagonist and his ally: Bruce Wayne, a silent and somewhat temperamental guy, but with a strong sense of justice. From what Twilight has seen of him, he has some connection to a wealthy family and an accident involving bats. This is important? later it will be seen that it is.
And speaking of knowing, it seems that the ponies and dragons are known in this world by Ra's Al Ghul and his League of Shadows, how is that possible? And what did he mean by saying that our heroes are much more you? were meant for? Of course they are more than just guardians of harmony, as each has their life outside of magical quests, but I don't think Ducard meant that. What is clear is that this prison is a very dangerous place from which it is better to leave as soon as possible. Now, I hope they're not running from the fire to fall into the embers.

Well, let it not be said that Spike didn't 'try' to defend himself against these thugs. And to give credit to our heroes, as dangerous as these criminals were, they did hold their own with a little help from Bruce. But now they come face-to-face with some guy who not as a means of helping the group, but is well aware of the reputation surrounding the Elements of Harmony. Is there more to the story than what the audience is being let on? Perhaps... but only time will tell.

Rain Shine: (Sighs) “What has that husband of mine gotten himself into this time?”
Silver Shill: “Oh. Excuse me.” (Receives a call from me; via a communication device) “That was Doc. He says that he, HunterBrony, and Mina are currently in Gotham City, with Carrie White and Derrick.” (Listens to my frantic chatter again) “He says they’re currently running for their life and—“
Communicator: *BANG! CRASH! BOOM!*
Silver Shill: “I didn’t quite catch that. But I think he said we should get on with the show. And as always, whenever you are hungry, please ring the bell in front of your seats, and we’ll be there to take your order.”

Meanwhile, somewhere in the big city, me, Mina, and Hunter, happened to drop out of the portal and landed on something…or someone.
Derrick: (Gets squished) “BLECH!”
Me: “Oh! Sorry, Derrick!” (Helps the guy up) “You okay?”
Derrick: “I’m fine. Whoa!” (Looks down at himself, Carrie, and me) “We’re humans again?!”
Me: “I’d say so.” (Turns to look at Mina) “Except for Mina. She’s still a dragon. Which is good!”
Carrie White: “But…where are we?”
Me: (I looked at our surroundings to confirm) “If my eyes do not deceive me. We are in Gotham City!”
Mina: “Gotham City?” (Fan girls) “You mean, we’re in the world of Batman?”
(Before our conversations could continue, the sound of gunshots and dogs barking was heard.)
Me: (To Mina) “Uh, now’s not a good time to talk. Let’s make like a tree and leave!”
(With that, me, Mina, and Hunter took off running for our lives, with Carrie and Derrick in tow.)
No sooner did we leave, when the portal opened up, and some imps followed. And their dog too.
Moxxie: “AAAAAHHHH!!!” (Falls first, then gets flattened by Blitzø, Millie, and Loona)
Blitzø: “Alright, gang! We’ve got MFs to off!” (To Moxxie) “Moxxie! Quit lying down on the job!”
Loona: (To Moxie) “Get your fat butt up, fatty.”
Audience: “PRISON?!”
Flurry Heart: (As Phoenix Wright) “OBJECTION!!! Aunt Twilight and her friends just arrived! They can’t go to prison already!!!”
Smolder: “YEAH! It’s me!” (Stands up to reveal she’s disguised as a bush) “I’m the real criminal! I stole the 24/7 Championship Belt from Spike, right under his arms when he was sleeping off that headache! But I’ll give it back! You gotta believe me!”
*Awkward Crickets SFX*
Smolder: (Realizing she’s blown her cover) “Uh oh.”
Random Dude: (Points at Smolder) “THERE SHE IS!!!”
(Almost the entire audience chased after Smolder to steal her belt)
Silver Shill: (To the audience) “Hey! No roughhousing in the theater! We just—WAAAHHH!!!”
We are experiencing technical difficulties

Very good start P.D., but a quick little note. It's just a nitpick but I got to bring this up:
Moxxie is spelled with 'two' X's. Just thought I'd bring that up. Cool? Okay then.
11389941
God it’s so good to have you back again P.D. The others were good but nothing compares to you
11389948
Dang it! Why am I so bad with names that have two consonants in a row?
But thanks for the heads up, Drama! Changes have been made.
So now it begins. Good thing that the story begins where Bruce is now and not going through flashback mode, otherwise it would've been confusing.
Wow, what a start, the mane 6 have much to think about, the path forward is full of mystery, can’t wait for more XD Big Thank You to the Big Boss Mr. E and all the wonderful Admins who make these adventures beyond awesome, much love
Landing in a prison and getting into prison fights so quickly. Not their ideal start to an adventure. And boy Spike sure took that beating. Another blow to his morale. Well hopefully he and the girls can learn to fight better than how they did against those goons. But even Ra’s Al Ghul and the League know of Equestria and everything. They sure weren't expecting that
11390004
Yeah, the last thing we needed was to give fans some headaches. So, we had to do a literal flip of a coin to determine how we'd do this, and we ultimately chose to land in the present state.
11390014
Oh yes. The Mane Six and Spike have much to think about. It can't be a mere coincidence that they encounter a finely dressed man, who clearly stands out amongst the prisoners and not only recognizes Bruce Wayne, but Twilight and her friends as well. Something is definitely up.
11390016
Well, we cannot say that they put up a bad effort in defending themselves. It just seemed unexpected that they'd be landing inside a prison rather than their usual landing points. But it just goes to show that the magic in terms of the teleportation ordeal has proven to be very unpredictable. They never know where they are going to be.
Well of course "that guy" already knows of them in advance and I can only guess it's because he's been working with someone.
a new journey begins!!!

Discord's Theatre, Galaxy Branch
Byph: Whoa, is that a prison?
Ahsoka Tano: Why would they go there?
Postwar: Portal travel is very tricky business. Whenever we plan to go to another world, the portals need to be carefully used. Only problem is, they're never accurate whenever you go somewhere.
Sunset Shimmer: *Looks at him with flexed eyebrow* Speaking from experience.
Postwar: You don't wanna know.
Katochi: Overdramatic much?
Sunset Shimmer: If you think that was bad, you should've seen her when her pet was going into hibernation.
Petro: Again with the pony thing?
Ganodi: You'd think they'd prefer to travel as they were.
Postwar: Don't worry, they'll go on with their original bodies in the future.
Galen Marek: He does have a point.
Postwar: Well they have to keep the balance, otherwise they'd end up doing more harm than good. Then again, the Benefactor's people haven't been playing by the rules either.
Postwar: *Holds forehead whilst shaking head* Ho boy.
Sunset Shimmer: What is it?
Postwar: First rule when in prison, don't make yourself noticeable, otherwise you'd end up becoming their target.
Cal Kestis: He does have a point.
Sunset gripped her fists whilst her right hand were generating electricity, wanting to tear that man to pieces, until she felt Postwar's hand to calm her down, which she did when he gave her a concerning look.
Handful of folks: Whoa. *Postwar groaned, which gained their attention, with Gungi asking in his tongue what's wrong*
Postwar: Rule 2 when in prison, never show your aggressive side, otherwise the predator will bite back, hard.
Postwar: Told you. They really need to pick their fights carefully.
Ben Solo: But isn't that a bad thing? Using aggression to fight your enemies which would leave you vulnerable to your opponent and would finish you off?
Everyone looked at him and couldnt help but smile:
Postwar: You really taught him well. *Sunset smiles whilst blushes too*
Katochi: Didn't they learn to never provoke prisoners like that?
Postwar: They're new to the world like this, what did you expect?
Ganodi: This isn't going to end well.
Petro: Don't worry, I'm sure they'll pull through somehow.
Sunset Shimmer: Wait...he looks familiar.
Postwar: All in due time Sunset.
Galen Marek: He has the stones I'll give him that much.
Postwar: As most hardy youth are.
Ahsoka Tano: Wow, he sure knows how to fight.
Cal Kestis: If only the Jedi had learned to fight like that when we don't have out Lightsabers.
Sunset Shimmer: I agree with you there.
Petro: Uh, hello, you're in a prison? No one is ever going to give you any medical aid there.
Ahsoka Tano: You're not wrong. The Empire tends to treat a lot of people that way.
Postwar: *asked whilst giving incredulous look*Like you were able to take that dragon a while back?
Sunset Shimmer: You should really watch your ego Rainbow.
Katochi: Not much of an emotional man, are you?
Postwar: Not everyone is capable of displaying emotions.
Galen Marek: He's not wrong there.
Sunset Shimmer: *excited tone*Ha!! I knew it!!
Zatt: Uh, something you wanna tell us?
Postwar: Sorry, no spoilers there.
Postwar: Unfortunately, reality has a way of ruining that.
Cal Kestis: Agreed.
Ahsoka Tano: We can't change that, no matter how hard we try.
Sunset Shimmer: What did you expect Rarity, not everything always goes according to plan.
Ahsoka Tano: Tell me about it.
Ganodi: Agree with you there.
Postwar: At least they have a place to rest for the night.
Katochi: Even if it isn't what they expected.
Zatt: That's one way to get her to change her mind.
Sunset Shimmer: Trust me, my Rarity is also like that. Thankfully she can be swayed just like this one.
Byph: Whoa, what was that?
Postwar: That would be Bruce Wayne's backstory. Every origin story has them.
Zatt: Are most of them always like this?
Sunset Shimmer: Pretty much actually.
Petro: You ask me, nightmares are a dream come true, comparing to the state they're in.
Postwar: You say that now. Trust me, you ain't seen nothing yet.
Many rolled their eyes over that. Classic Rarity.
Postwar: *Shakes his head*Third rule, the food in prison is twice as terrible.
Sunset Shimmer: The way you speak, you sound like you have experience.
Postwar: *temporary PTS visions coming. Then back to normal* I've seen terrible things when I was on my first day of the job.
Cal Kestis: The shipyards I worked at served better food than that.
Sunset Shimmer: Shipyard?
Postwar: When Cal was in hiding and after the Empire took over, Cal worked at a shipyard where they were disabling ships in order for them to be reused. In case you wonder, Republic Cruisers from the Clone Wars. *Ahsoka looked down in sadness, thinking about the Clones that she served for so long before Order 66 came along*
Postwar: No offense Fluttershy, but that's a horrible idea. That would be like adding fuel to the fire.
Galen Marek: He's not wrong there.
Ahsoka Tano: He is tough, I'll give him that.
Petro: Wish the Jedi would've taught us something like that. *Gets odd looks from the others* Oh come on, like all of you haven't thought of the same thing.
Postwar: Rule 4...Don't make your situation worse than it already is.
Ganodi: They really like asking for trouble a lot don't they?
Sunset Shimmer: Trust me, we don't find trouble, it finds us.
Zatt: You honestly think that they'd care? Most Prison guards never show any respect, even if you did try to defend yourself.
Petro: True that. *gives fist bump to Zatt*
Postwar: Hey, don't you two start again. *Groans*, it's 'the end in friendship' all over again.
Sunset Shimmer: *confused look* What do you mean?
Postwar: You see. *One complicated recap later* And that's what happened.
Everyone gave stunned looks.
Ganodi: Okay, I don't know who was more stupid, Rarity and Rainbow for starting an unneccesary fight, or Twilight who stupidly paired them up without figuring out what they have in common.
Petro: My thoughts exactly.
Postwar: Or just punishing yourself for something that wasn't your fault.
Byph: What do you mean?
Sunset Shimmer: Again, no spoilers.
Postwar: He's not wrong there. That wasn't a bright move at all.
Sunset Shimmer: You can say that again.
Ganodi: Oh, he's good. *Gungi growls in agreement*
Sunset Shimmer: What the...How did he know that?!!
Postwar: *ponders in thought* No doubt he might've found a way to contact forces from the outside.
Postwar: Trust me, you'll see much weirder in the future.
All: Agreed.
Galen Marek: Do they really?
Postwar: Everyone needs to start somewhere.
Sunset Shimmer: That they do.
Postwar: To quote Stan Lee, "Classic".
Sunset Shimmer: Rest in peace.
Ahsoka Tano: Who's he?
Postwar: On our world, he is considered to be one of the greatest men we ever knew.
Postwar: And something much more they have to offer. How you do it, is your choice.
Ahsoka Tano: As Captain Rex would say; we all have a choice.
Postwar: He must mean the prophecy.
Sunset Shimmer: Prophecy?
Postwar: I'll tell you later.
Postwar: And so the path is before them.
Ben Solo: What will happen after that?
Postwar: I guess we'll find out soon, won't we?

Me: *running through Gotham with Phantom, Mina, Carrie and Derrick* I knew Chris would hire I.M.P to take out Carrie and Derrick! If only there were a way to show them the truth!
Mina: I'm with you on that one!
There's only one way to go from rock bottom, and that's UP!

Me (still as Prof. Gumby): HERE YOU ARE, M'LORD!! (slams the food tray on the table) THAT'LL BE...(I take out a clipboard to examine the bill)...150 BITS, M'LORD!!
Fancy Pants (baffled but amused): Here you are, sir.
Me: THANK YOU SO MUCH, M'LORD!! M'LADY!! (I walk away)
Fancy Pants: What a strange fellow.
Fleur De Lis (agrees): Rather.

Discord's Theater – Ponyville
Silver Shill: (With his costume slightly torn) "Right...shall we resume with tonight's featured presentation?"

Yona: "Yona like Smolder friend. But Yona not like losing gold to Smolder friend!"
Yaks: "YAKS MAD!"

Other Random Brony: (Shrugs) "I don't know."
Big Mac: "Eeyup."
Gallus: "And as always, this is the part where they change into humans again."
Gallus: "Called it!"
Big Mac: "Eeyup."
Silver Shill: "Hmmm." (Pondering) "This is usually the part where Doc would say something witty and make references from one of his favorite shows, like Helluva Boss. But I can't put my hoof on it."
Cheese Sandwich: "Eeyup!"
Lil'Cheese: "Yup!"
Bulk Biceps: "YEEEEAAAAAHHHH!!!!" (Does a double-take) "Wait, what?"

(I'm still on the run with Hunter, Carrie, Derrick, and Mina, in Gotham City, when I came to a halt, upon feeling a disturbance)
Me: "I just had this funny feeling that somewhere a fourth wall is being broken..." (I tapped my foot for a moment before I shrugged) "Oh well." (Resumes running for my life)
Coco Pommel: "Oh dear!"
Lightning Dust: "...Meh. He's not so tough. Right guys?" (Looks to her fellow Washouts, who were quivering in fright)
Storm Shield: "...Meh. I've seen scarier."
Flurry Heart: (Clings to her mother) "They look hungry..."
Princess Cadence: (Shocked and disgusted) "They wouldn't!"
Pharynx: (To Princess Cadence) "They would."
Thorax: "I know we feed off of love, once before. But...this is over the line, even to us Changelings!"
Garble: (To Spike) "Oh yeah, Spikey-Wikey. That's scaring them."
Gallus: (Agreeing with Garble) "I think my bunny slippers just ran for cover..."
They're not the only one. The entire audience gasped in shock.
Ember: "Yeah, Spike! Now you're getting somewhere!"
Clump: "GIVE 'IM ANOTHER!"
Audience: (Cringing) "Ooooh!"

Scootaloo's parents: (To their daughter; shocked) "Scootaloo!"
Braeburn, Big Mac, and Apple Bloom: "YEAH, APPLEJACK!!!"
Granny Smith: "TAKE HIS HEAD OFF!!!"
Capper Dapperpaw: "Mmmm. Not to criticize on their choices of appearances...but if I were them, I'd rather stay ponies than being humans at that point."
Tempest Shadow: (Rolls her eyes) "I can take those chumps down with one hoof tied behind my back."
Storm Shield: (Sighs and pinched his temples) "Spike. We're gonna have to work more on your fighting forms when you get back..."
The Audience: (Cringing; with every beat) "Ugh! Oh! Ow! Ouch! Ooh!"
Grubber: "I CAN'T WATCH!!!" (Covers his eyes) "But...I must...peek." (Peeks through a crack in his fingers)
Gabby: (More tearfully than Rarity) "SPIKE!!!"

The audience gasped in response to the young man's retortion.
Braeburn: "Them's fightin' words!"
Big Mac: "Eeyup!"

Tempest Shadow: "Hmmm! Not a bad move!"

Random Dude: "OOH! Chihuahua!"
Bulk Biceps: "YEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!"
Gabby: (Voice cracking) "Spike..."
Gilda: "And maybe a teacher who can actually show them how to throw down like him?"
Storm Shield: "I've been trained by the greatest martial artists before. But he's probably the first greatest fighter I've ever seen, in over a thousand years!"
Big Mac: "Nope."
Sassy Saddle: "Though...something tells me it's best we don't know..."
Smolder: (Still in hiding) "Yeah, right. Oops!" (Hides before anyone notices her)
Tempest Shadow: "A little emotional there, Twilight?"
Starlight Glimmer: (To Tempest Shadow) "Hey. How would you feel if some thug came outta nowhere and nearly killed your little brother figure, huh?"
Storm Shield: "Bruce Wayne?" (Realizes) "Oh yeah! I remember now!" (Smirks mischievously) "He owes Clark Kent money..."
Quibble Pants: "Quite the ray of sunshine, isn't he?"
Gabby: (Sighs in relief) "Oh, thank Grover."
Storm Shield: "Just your typical crooks, criminals, and maniacs holed up in prison with nothing better to do than just fight about it."
Scootaloo: "It's true! They're on an important mission to stop some bad guys from recruiting even more bad guys to save the Multiverse!"
The Audience: (Angrily shouting) "PINKIE!"
Trixie: "Gee, what was your first clue, Princess? The fact that you SHOWED UP IN PRISON?!! The Great and Powerful Trixie didn't need a crystal ball to see that!"
Starlight Glimmer: (To Trixie) "Take it easy, Trixie."
Gilda: "Well, it could be worse, Dash. You could be in prison, with...him." (Points to Zephyr Breeze)
Zephyr Breeze: "HEY!" (Does a double take) "Actually, I don't mind sharing a cell, with Dash." (Everyone else facepalm at him for not getting the remark)
Big Mac: "Nope."
Ember: "Thank his majesty, Ēferno that you don't have to suffer the ear splitting night of a whining marshmallow."
Pipsqueak: (To Princess Luna) "Princess Luna? Will they be okay?"
Princess Luna: (To Pipsqueak) "I hope so, little Pip. I hope so...for all of us."

Silver Shill: "Speaking of whom, I wonder how P.D. is doing?"

Gotham City – Main Street
Me and...my group wondered how we got ourselves into this mess.
Me: "How did we get ourselves into this mess?" (Carrie was about to answer) "It's a rhetorical question, Carrie." (I look outside the window of a rundown building we're hiding in) "I think we lost them. Whoever they were."
Mina: (Panting heavily) "Great. Now...I can...catch my breath."
Me: (To Carrie and Derrick) "Okay. You two, talk. What happened? Why are they after you?"
Derrick: (To me) "I don't know. It all happened so fast. Me and Carrie were celebrating Nightmare Night like every pony else in Ponyville, when the Dazzlings attacked! Both me and Carrie hid inside the mirror maze, when those...imps and their...hellhound came out of a portal and started shooting after me and Carrie! They said they were paid by someone, or two, from Hell, to kill us! Something about settling a score."
Me: (Pondering) "Hmmmm. Well, no offense, but Carrie did went on a mindless, violent, bloody rampage back in her hometown. So...I can imagine a lot of people, whom she had...sent down to the bad place, wanting her dead..."
Carrie: (Guilty) "So...it's my fault we're in this mess?"
Derrick: (To Carrie) "No one is blaming you of anything, Carrie. We'll figure something out." (Looks to me and Hunter) "Right?"
Me: (I nodded) "Absolutely! Catering and caring for the customers' needs is what Discord's Theater is all about! Next to providing them a one of a kind movie experience..." (Under my breath) "...though, not like this..." (Speaks up) "Still, as long as we're here, the two of you are under our care, until we can get back home and to Equestria!"
Mina: "Red rubies!"
Derrick: "Alright!"
Carrie White: "Thank goodness!"
Me: "Hmph!" (Shaking my head) "This is ironic." (To Carrie) "You...being the subject of my childhood trauma. And now, here I am...risking my neck to save you from some imps. Strange thing."
Derrick: (To me) "Uh huh. So...Mr. PhD. What should we do now?"
Me: "For now, we gotta lay low. I'm formulating a plan...but where can we get a giant squeaky toy?"

Discord's Theater – Ponyville
Silver Shill: (To me; via communicator) "Uh, Doc? What are we looking at now?" (Listens to my confirmation) "Oh. A flashback?"
Snips and Snails: "YAY! Flashbacks!"
Snips: (Asks Sweetie Belle) "Uh, what's a flashback again?"
Starswirl the Bearded: "If I'm not mistaken, then that's young Bruce Wayne."
Princess Luna: (Nods in agreement) "I concur."
Sunburst: "My guess is the same as this Force Echo that my sister once told me about?"
Garble: "That's it? A rock? Lame!" (Gets pulled over to Maud Pie, who threatens)
Maud Pie: (Monotone) "Don't. Insult. The rocks. In front. Of me."
And because of Discord Theater's 3D Projection Devices, the bats came flying out of the screen and into the whole theater. The whole audience members were screaming their heads off.
Audience: "AAAAAAAHHHH!!!!"
Snips: (Jumps into Snails's hooves) "OH I HATE BATS!"
Snails: (To Snips) "Will you just stop being a big baby and–" (Freaks out) "OH! One of them touched me! I THINK IT TOUCHED ME!!!" (Runs frantically throughout the theater)

Silver Shill: (Rubs his ears; to Crazy Steve) "For the record, you eat chicken eggs. I'm sure it's the same thing."
Some dragons and griffons: "NOOOOOO!!!!"
Random Dude: (To Pinkie Pie) "BOOO!! YOU STINK!!!!"
Random Brony: "Hey that reminds me of something..."
Meanwhile with Prince Blueblood
Prince Blueblood: "I'M STILL STUCK IN A CHIMNEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYY!!!!!!"
Capper Dapperpaw: "That's it. They're dead. He's dead. We're dead. Everybody's dead!"
Me: (Via Silver Shill's communicator) "Funny he should mention that. Because my group and I are currently on the run from a bunch of assassins sent up from hell to off Carrie."
Silver Shill: (To me) "Doctor? Is that you?"
Me: (To Silver Shill) "Talk to me Silver. What's happening?"
Silver Shill: "Uh, he's got this Bruce Wayne by the hair and he's declared himself...the devil?"

Garble: (Looks away) "Where!?"
Gilda: "HI-YAH!" (Jumps on Garble)
(Garble and Gilda get into an all out tussle, with the rest of Garble's gangs joining. It wasn't long before Yona wanted in on the actions.)
Yona: "YAK JUMP!!" (Crashes onto Gilda, Garble, and the dragons) "OOF!!!"
Ember: (Rolls her eyes) "Oh what a bunch of–" (Gets hit in the face by a flying pie)
*Cartoon Splat SFX*
Ember: (To the fighting group) "Alright, that's it!"
Me: (Hearing the commotion; From Silver Shill's communicator) "From the sound of it. It's going on like Donkey Kong."
Silver Shill: (To me) "I don't know how you can put–" (Narrowly avoids a flying spaghetti) "HEY! No flying foods! I repeat, no!" (Gets hits by an apple pie, knocking his communicator off)

Storm Shield: (Cringing in discomfort) "Ooooh. Ow. I'd hate to be that guy..."

Snips: (To Snails) "I don't know. But it sounded so cool in history class."
Gilda: "What kind of crazy backward system does that world have?"
Rarity's mom: "Oh jeepers. Here we go."
Windy Whistles: (To Rarity's mom) "Well, it can't be help if my daughter is headstrong and thinks with her wings. All the more reason we love her."

Diamond Tiara: (Dressed as Daphne Blakes) "Who said that?"
Silver Spoon: (Dressed like Velma; pointing at the screen) "I think it's him!"
Capper Dapperpaw: "Who do we appreciate? Practicing your numbers? Now there's a good man."
Including the eyes in the theater.
Me: (From Silver Shill's communicator) "Uh...pardon me. Is this thing working right? Did I just hear someone in this world know the Mane Six and Spike? WAY before they arrived?"
Silver Shill: (To me) "Afraid so, Doc!"
Capper Dapperpaw: "Ta-DA!"
The audience all exchange murmurs and gossips amongst themselves, wondering what the hay is a Ra's Al Ghul.
Button Mash: "Psst. What's a Ra's Al Ghul?"
Mina: (From Silver's communicator) "Hey Doc? What's going on? What's happening?"
Tempest Shadow: "Sounds like my type of guy."
Silver Shill: "And he sounds like Trouble with a capital 'T.'"
Me: (From Silver Shill's communicator) "It'd better not be the Dark Path!"
Random Dude: "Yeah, we've already had one too many fallen heroes taking the Dark Path to last us for the remainder of the Cinematic Adventure. So we don't need more crazies."
Capper Dapperpaw: (To Tempest Shadow) "You buying any of that?"
Tempest Shadow: (To Capper) "Do I look I need their powers?"
Trixie: "Now he's speaking my language."
Sunburst: "And he's got their undivided attention."
Princess Luna, Starswirl, and Storm Shield all blinked their eyes, questionably, before they all turned their heads to Princess Celestia, who simply darted her pupil, side-to-side.
Princess Celestia: "What?"

I'm currently inside a pet store, with Hunter and the others not too far behind.
Me: (To the store owner) "Excuse me. What's the biggest squeaky toy for a dog you have?"
Derrick: (To me) "Uh, Mr. Phantom? I don't mean to be a downer, but I don't it she's that kind of a dog."
Me: (To Derrick) "She barks, she bites, she's got a fluffy tail, with pointy ears. Sounds like a dog to me." (I purchase the squeaky toy) "Keep the change."

Me: “Okay, Hunter. Here’s the plan. In the next chapter, I’m going to try to draw their fires and lure their dog away. Meanwhile, you and Mina take Carrie and Derrick in the opposite direction! Got it? Any questions?”

(My communicator started to go off)
Me: (To Hunter and others) “Hold that thought.” (To Shadow) “What is it?”

I got a feeling they were send by a certain alpha bitch and her jerkass of a boyfriend though they deserved it!

Me: I'll deal with them Phantom. As a passionate christian, I know God will protect me.
Canterlot Mall Theater, Discord's Branch
Sci-Twi: Wait, that kinda looks like..
Juniper: A Prison?!
Arctic: Yeah, not a good place for the portal to send them.
Juniper: But, wouldn’t it be better if they travel like themselves? I mean, some of them can fly or Princess Twilight could teleport them out.
Arctic: Well, they could that. But, seeing where they’re at that would give there cover away.
Applejack: I have to agree with him. They really can’t get around, especially if they’re there pony selves.
Rainbow: Yeah, why is that they are taking there human forms more often?
Arctic: Well, I’m gonna guess it’s for balance. Can’t always be in there pony forms
Pinkie: Someone should tell the Dark Order and that meanie Benefactor.
Arctic: Unfortunately Pinkie, they’re villains. They don’t care about fairness, well most of the time anyways. You could, rarely see one that would have honor
Fluttershy: o-oh no.
Juniper: Maybe they’ll here them out..
Arctic: Sadly Juniper, it’s past talking things out.
Rarity: What do you mean? Surely these ruffins would have some sense to listen
Arctic: One of the few prison rules, never make yourself known
Arctic grips on his chair seat, then he looks over seeing the others with hate in there eye while Fluttershy was whimpering and hiding her face in rainbow shoulder.
Rainbow : yeah get them Spike!
Arctic: yeah, that probably was a bad idea
Pinkie: what do you mean?
Sci-Twi: SPIKE!
Arctic: That’s why, when you’re in prison never pick a fight. Especially if you’re new
Fluttershy: S-Someone, Please save him!
Juniper: Who is that?
Arctic: That, is someone they shouldn’t mess with
Everyone: Whoa!
Arctic: Yeah, he is quite the fighter himself and a good one at that
Arctic: Unfortunately, you wouldn’t find any medical help in a prison
Fluttershy: b-but why, I know they’re criminals but there should be a medical team
Arctic: I know Fluttershy, but when it comes to prison they won’t be any medical help
Rarity: Well, he seems like the emotion type.
Arctic: That’s just now he is, doesn’t normally show much emotion
Pinkie: But Why? Nothing wrong showing some emotion
Arctic: You’re right pinkie, though you’ll rarely see it from him
Sci-Twi: Bruce? That’s a nice name, I wonder why he is here. He doesn’t seem like a bad person.
Arctic: Well, you’ll find out eventually
Fluttershy: I hope spike pulls through
Applejack: Don’t worry, Spike a tough fella I’m sure he’ll be ok.
“Well, it looks as though we’re stuck here for the time being,” Twilight spoke solemnly.
“But we can’t stay here,” Fluttershy squeaked. “Those men will just come back and try to hurt us.”
“We don’t have a choice Fluttershy,” Twilight responded. “We’re surrounded by armed guards and criminals with no idea how to get out… least not under our circumstances.”
“Well isn’t this a ‘great’ start to this adventure?” Rainbow said sarcastically.
“You can all stay here for the time being,” Seong told them. “We will keep you safe.”
“Thank you Mr. Seong,” Twilight thanked him. “I promise we won’t be a bother.”
Seong nodded before gazing out the cell and saw that in all this time, the sun had already set. The stars began to appear in the sky above.
Juniper: Hopefully, they will be able to get out soon
Fluttershy: a-at least they have somewhere to stay
Arctic: Yeah, so at least they can get some nice sleep
“We must all sleep,” Seong said. “We have extra blankets for all of you, but sadly no extra beds.”
“Ain’t no problem for us,” Applejack replied. “We can rough it fer a bit.”
“Perhaps you can,” Rarity replied. “I for one have no desire to sleep on a dirty cold floor.”
“The only other option is to bunk out with those other criminals,” Bruce spoke up. “I don’t think they’ll be as accommodating as us.”
Rarity’s eyes quickly went wide before she quickly snatched a blanket and old pillow. In rapid fashion, she laid them out on the ground.
“On second thought, the ground sounds quite lovely,” She responded nervously.
“Good choice,” Bruce replied.
Rainbow: That’s so like you Rarity (Rainbow said with a chuckle)
Rarity: (Rarity just huffs and looks away from her rainbow hair friend)
Everyone was shock at the scene before them and look back to Arctic.
Fluttershy: w-what was that?
Arctic: That, what you all just witness was Bruce Backstory
Applejack: Seeing what the situation is, I think it’s a nightmare come true.
Arctic: Believe me, you haven’t seen anything yet
Juniper: You mean, there is more to this?
Arctic: Can’t say much. (He says as he takes a small glance to Applejack having a worried feeling)
Applejack: Classic Rares (she said looking over to the fashionista)
Rarity: Not my fault I have some standard! (She complained back)
Sci-Twi: At least the prison food could be decent
Arctic: Yeah, about that
Juniper: Is it really that bad?
Arctic: That would be putting it lightly, and something I would never eat and glad I don’t have to
Pinkie: Awww, but I wanted a musical number
Arctic: There’s, a time and place for those Pinkie.
Applejack: He’s right sugarcube, their current situation Isn’t the best moment for singing.
Arctic: When, it comes to guys like them they won’t take the peaceful way
The Equestrian Girl’s and Juniper could only nod, though Fluttershy looks away saded
Fluttershy: I-I wish it can resort things peacefully
Rainbow: Yeah!, Kick their butts Bruce!
Most of group cheered for their pony counterparts seeing them help Bruce out. Though, Juniper looks over seeing the look on Arctic face
Juniper: What’s wrong Arctic?
Arctic: Nothing, it’s good they’re helping Bruce out. However, it’s just gonna make the situation worse
Rainbow: Yeah! That’s not fair! They started it in the first place!
Arctic: That is how prison guards are, even when it’s send defense they won’t care about fairness.
Equestrian girls and juniper wonder and think about what he could’ve done to be put in prison and wonder what he meant by that
Arctic:(look over to them seeing the look on their faces) they’re not ready yet (he said to himself in his thoughts)
Arctic: Valid point, not the best move to do
Rainbow: Yeah, I mean what kind of person would be Reckless like that. (she said as she notice a few looks given to her) What?….What?!
This got both Equestrian Girls and Juniper even Arctic shock by this
Sci-Twi: B-But how?!
Juniper: They just got there!, and this gut already knows them
Arctic: (was in his thoughts as he hears this* This, is concerning. He somehow found a way to know about them (he said to himself and ponder on what to do about this)
Applejack: Trust is partner..
Rainbow: It’s gonna get more weirder
Arctic: Everyone starts somewhere, even if they don’t realize the path they need to take
Juniper: Bet that got his attention now
Sci-Twi: *nods in agreement*
Rarity: Oh, thank goodness! they’ll be out of there
Fluttershy: a-and they won’t have to see those prisoners again
Pinkie: Now they can continue their adventure and save the day! Wonder what’ll happen next
Arctic: Well Pinkie, guess we’ll see what’s about to unfold (he mentioned and then went into his thoughts) though I wonder, how did he know about twilight and her friends already.

Behind The Scenes: Filming
As with all his films, Nolan refused a second unit; he did this in order to keep his vision consistent. Filming began in March 2004 in the Vatnajökull glacier in Iceland (standing in for Bhutan). The crew built a village and the front doors to Ra's' temple, as well as a road to access the remote area. The weather was problematic, with 75 miles per hour (121 km/h) winds, rain, and a lack of snow. A shot that cinematographer Wally Pfister had planned to take using a crane had to be completed with a handheld camera.
Unlike Burton and Schumacher's Gotham City that did not exist in the real world, Nolan shot exteriors in London, New York, and Chicago as he wanted the city to seem recognizable. In seeking inspiration from Superman and other blockbuster films of the late 1970s and early 1980s, Nolan based most of the production in England, specifically Shepperton Studios.
A Batcave set was built there and measured 250 feet (76 m) long, 120 feet (37 m) wide, and 40 feet (12 m) high. Production designer Nathan Crowley installed twelve pumps to create a waterfall with 12,000 imperial gallons (55,000 l; 14,000 US gal), and built rocks using molds of real caves. An airship hangar at Cardington, Bedfordshire was rented by Warner Bros. during April 2004 and, converted into a 900 feet (270 m) sound stage, was where the slum-district of "the Narrows" and the feet of the monorails were filmed.
Mentmore Towers was chosen from twenty different locations for Wayne Manor, as Nolan and Crowley liked its white floors, which gave the impression of the manor as a memorial to Wayne's parents. The building chosen to represent Arkham Asylum was the National Institute for Medical Research building in Mill Hill, northwest London, England. The St Pancras railway station and the Abbey Mills Pumping Stations were used for Arkham's interiors.
The Senate House of University College London was used for courtrooms. Some scenes, including the Tumbler pursuit, were filmed in Chicago at locations such as Lower Wacker Drive and 35 East Wacker. Authorities agreed to raise Franklin Street Bridge for a scene where access to the Narrows is closed.
Despite the film's darkness, Nolan wanted to make the film appeal to a wide age range.
Because of this, nothing gory or bloody was filmed.
And so we've already met Bruce I see, interesting turn at the end there. Also, everyone's doing a great job with the commentary scenes! Loving seeing all the reactions to the chapter!
The unicorn watched eagerly at the movie, munching on one popcorn at a time to prevent loud noises.
"So, they arrived at the prison Bruce is kept in on the first go." He said in his head. "So, they'll meet The Demon"
The unicorn quietly growled. "Criminal scum."
He then sighed in relief as he knew the man. "Bruce." He then continued watching the movie and nodding to the parts he was familiar with, up until the Ducard part. He rubbed his chin as to how this man knew the true nature of the Equestrian Chosen. Perhaps things will be revealed in the future but right now... the unicorn ran out of popcorn so he teleported to the lobby for a refill and to get some candy and a drink, humming the fitting tune while doing so.

A very important meeting indeed. They'll need to stay close to Mr. Wayne especially when they eventually do reach Gotham City. If they thought this prison was rough, they haven't even seen what Bruce's home is like.
11391682
True, quite true
And the group of Sunny Starscout?
What happened to them?
Idea: include Misty and Opaline in the conversations, without the heroes realizing it.

1: Eric the Phantom
2: Mr. Squelch
3: Dr.Gangle
4: Tubby Nugget
And 5: General Supernova
Everyone arrived and marveled at the room all dected in Ocean themes and began to take their seats.
Dodger: "Welcome everyone. The move is about to begin."
Eric: " Where Are they this time?"
Myself: " I do not know yet but we can only hope they can overcome the Dazzlings and Chrysalis again.
And so the movie began.
General Supernova: " Looks like a prison of sort."
Tubby: " Just started and already in trouble that has to be a new record for them."
Eric: " Oh boy Rarity is not going to be happy about this."
Fleck: " That didn't stop you on Ace Ventura, Grinch, or any of the other movies you visit.

General Supernova: "What's she gonna do?"
Tubby Nugget: " Probably talk all science like in the sad hope someone will understand, but really she's only embarrassing herself. "
Tubby Nugget: " Or that!"
Dr.Gangle: " Who is she she talking to? This pony is not mentally healthy."
Fleck: " It's ok! She's just being Pinkie.
???: "HOLY SWEET CELESTIA! Is that what Twilight and the others look like as humans?"
We all screamed from the sudden outburst and turned to the door to see Lyra and behind her was Bon Bon.
Bon Bon: " Lyra! What’s the matter with you, you can't go creeping up on others like that."
Mr. Squelch: " You almost gave us a heartattack"
Myself: " Ms. Hearthstring, what are you doing here?"
Lyra: "For as long as I can remember, I've believed in you humans. Ever since I was found as a foal on the streets of Canterlot with no memory of my life or name.
They only called my Lyra because I already had my cutie mark so that became who I am, when I started going to Celestia’s school and learned magic I had dreams of world that weren't possible and creatures called Humans.
When I told others about it they only laughed and called it all fake mythology, but I refused to believe that. After I left and moved here I meet Bon Bon and thought my life was going to be better, but I still had then dreams.
Then this place appears and you humans were appearing everywhere, Rarity even married one of them. I was just so happy to be right about something even that battle you fought in was beyond what I imagined."
I heard her story with amazement, her back story was nothing like we Bronies made and it left more puzzles to unfold then she got down and spoke again.
Lyra: " Please let me stay. Even if it's only through this screen or what exactly you call it, I want to no.... I need to see the human world, with my own waking eyes."
She began pouting and trembling making the irises of her eyes enlarge even more so I said.
Myself: I..I guess it is ok for you to stay, even Ms. Bon Bon can stay too.
So they took a seat each, Dodger came and brought them a menu for the food and drinks we serve.
And so the movie continues.
Lyra: " These humans seem to be quite dangerous."
Fleck: " They are dangerous! Please understand that these are only a small handful of the ones you've seen. Humanity as a whole are wonderful and creative. And one day we can have Twilight and the others take you these worlds too."
Lyra: "You mean it?"
Fleck: " I do."
General Supernova: " How disgusting. How are there no guards to stop them."
Tubby Nuget and Mr. Squelch: "You go Spike!"
Wow that had to hurt. That little one is growing into a strong fine dragon.

General Supernova: "You go girl."
Fleck: " Yeah!"
Lyra: "Is it me or do the girls seem unusually strong?"
Bon Bon: " dimensional physical differences. Their physical bodies are different in this world so their muscles, speed and resistance has increased."
Mr. Squelch: You are the one that's nothing. "
camo.fimfiction.net/cqaDWRHDLb_LxP_y9p_GKtmr9RTqDvBBNKWeYcoyWaw?url=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic1.srcdn.com%2Fwordpress%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2021%2F03%2FBatman-Begins-Christian-Bale-as-Bruce-Wayne-in-Prison.jpg
Dr.Gangle: " Who's he?"
Fleck: "The main character that's for sure. "
Dr.Gangle: " I hope he can back those words, those thugs are no stranger to fighting.
General Supernova: " He will. I can see a coward and this man though seems to be holding a tragic past won't back down."
Everyone: " Awe!"
General Supernova: " See, told you."
Dr.Gangle: " He could have a rupture splin or a cracked rib. If he doesn't receive proper treatment he could die."
Sure she would.
Lyra asked Dodger to bring some Berrty Bott's every flavor beans and Bon Bon asked to try chocolate frogs.
When they arrived Bon Bon nearly jumped out of her skin as her first one jumped right on her face and Lyra loved the chocolate, peppermint, spinach and tripe though she did spit out one that tasted like rotten eggs.
Tubby Nugget: " Ha that's true. "
Fleck: " Nobody likes sarcasm."
Eric: " So his name is Bruce Wayne. He doesn't sound like he's from the area."
Eric: "What's he in jail for?"
Mr. Squelch: " That's a question many falsely accused people asked when they've been locked up while traveling in far lands."
Mr. Squelch: "The reasons could be things like accused of stealing when you were either just looking or trying to return something someone dropped, touching someone inappropriately when you only just taped on them o even just being there at all."
Lyra: "Oh thank Celestia he's alright."
Lyra: " Can't they just speak to an official, tell them what going on and get out."
Fleck: “It's not that easy, first they wouldn't even get close to the official even if he was close by.”
Fleck: “Second, if they told them they would have to reveal their true forms which will make things more difficult. Then third, even if the official gave them the time of day to listen he/she wouldn't truly be listening and will give the the false hope that he/she would help."
Eric: " My wife will get them out, you'll see. When the lack of pampering , refined food, manners and cleanliness hits she always cracks."
Eric: " Strike one."
Eric: " Strike two."
Eric: "wow! She actually survived the first five minutes without fainting, crying or annoying someone.
Color me impressed babe."

Bon Bon: " Looks like Manehatten. "
General Supernova: " It does look familiar but I doubt it's the same city we're thinking of.
I knew this city, the natural gloom and feeling of dread sent chills up my spine, that only means one thing.
This was the city of Gotham, a crime filled metropolitan where there was more outlaws then laws.
Fleck: " Aw, how cute."
Tubby Nugget: Wait if this is a memory of Bruce's past, then this must be his house.
Lyra: " I thought only Princess Luna could enter others dream."
Myself: " Maybe the effects of the mothman's visions is making her see others memories through dreams."
Dodger: "Maybe we should have her teach Divination at Hogwarts, I've heard about the one they currently have and the only things she's good for is predicting death."
Fleck: " While it's true that whatever Rachel found was in his garden that doesn't mean it belongs to him."
Mr. Squelch: " Come on Fleck surly you did similar things when you were a kid."
Mr. Squelch: "It's just fun and games."
General Supernova: "Watch out son!"
Dr.Gangle: " That fall will break legs and maybe his wrist.
Tubby Nugget: " Is she Bruce's sister or something, and who's Mr. Alfred?"
Myself ( after a smill giggle) : " No she's a friend of his, one he cares very much for. And Mr. Alfred is his family butler and again he is someone Bruce cares very much about.

Eric: " Oh dear, bats. The opra house was full of those and they were surprisingly very inspirational.
Dr.Gangle: " They’re also very dangerous. Desmodus rotundus the common vampire bat carry rabbies that can cause blindness, madness and even death."
Fleck: " Just about anything can be more bad then jail. Because once you're in jail all you can do is uphold your debt to society but when you're not you can do any bad thing you want.
Tubby Nugget: " You Equestrians actually have really soft begs"
Lyra: " Thank you!"
Dr.Gangle ( face slapping): " Idiot! You're not supposed to suddenly jump like that after receiving any serious injuries you can risk reopening them."
Mr. Squelch: " Oh that reminds me. I bought a dozen flavor changing muffins from Sugarcube Corner, you guys want some?"
So he pulled out a box and opened it to reveal delicious muffins.
These didn't look out of the ordinary in fact they looked like plan banana muffins, so we each grabbed one and took a bite.
Myself: " yum! Mine tastes like strawberry with cream."
( Next bite)
Myself: " Oh.. ( shocked) Now it tastes sour like a fresh lemon."
( one last bite)
Myself: " And know it's Apple tart.
Everyone else took their own bites getting flavors like plums, wild cherry and even dragon fruit and never the same flavor twice.
Lyra: " Not really the best time for a song Pinkie."
Fleck: " Why is it because of yesterday?"
General Supernova: " No they were gonna kill him long before the girls showed up. Prisoners look for any excuse to kill each other and will do it without hesitation."
Fleck: " Oh tough guy. I like!"
Myself: " Hate to break it to you. But in several different versions of his stories he's already spoken for with several women."
Myself: " A cat burglar ( Cat Woman), a Sorcereress ( Zatana) , a reporter ( Vicky) and a immoral ( Thalia) who he had a kid with."
Fleck: "That just means this version is still single."
The audience cheered for support as Bruce and Rainbow Dash fight through prisoners.
Compare to the other things the rainbow-haired girl had to deal on a day-to-day basis this was a walk in the park.
General Supernova: Doesn't matter, they started you finished so your the trouble maker.
Eric: " Honey! Don't!"
Eric: " Too late!"
Mr. Squelch: "Who said that?"
General Supernova: " Is he friend or foe?"

I cringed at the sight of the man and thought because I knew who he was.
Ra's Al Ghoul so that's who the Dazzlings and Chrysalis are after. The League of Shadows.
It would make sense. Their skills in swordsmen ship and corruption make them key allies.
Lyra: " He knows who Bruce is. "
Bon Bon: " Just how big is Bruce and his family?"
Myself: " The Wayne family has for over six generations lived, contributed and worked in that city you saw in the flashback. And because of their types of business, technology, medical and among other things weaponry their know all around their world."
Tubby Nugget: "He knows them?"
Dr.Gangle: " Statistically speaking any universe has at least one individual who has achieved enlightenment and so has knowledge of other worlds."
General Supernova: "Ra's Al Ghoul?"
Mr. Squelch: " That's just an alias to make him sound terrifying, that's not his real name."
Mr. Squelch: " Is it?"
Myself: " I'm afraid it is?"
Fleck: " Lesson number one, never trust someone who claims 5hey can lead you on a path."
Myself: ' More like mercenaries.'
