41. Extinction
Foundation Prime
Exiled's Fortress
The Foundation of all Dimensions kept beating, breathing life into the entirety of the Multiverse, keeping the light aflame. It hovered in the center of the Throne Room with a very faint hum, electricity crackling over its entire form as everyone stared at its glorious form with various expressions.
The one with the biggest grin on his face was none other than Dr. Ivo Robotnik, who stared at the heart of all creation with anticipation and astonishment. "This is it," he thought to himself, unable to keep himself from chuckling. "The artefact the Ancient Guardians fought Exiled over all those eons ago. And it's ripe for the taking!"
Celestia and Luna could only stare in horror before turning their gazes back to Twilight Sparkle, who's head remained lowered with that broken and angry expression plastered on her face. The monarchs of Equestria could only hold back their own tears at her heartbroken form.
"What did Discord show you that could've broken your faith in friendship?" The solar monarch wondered solemnly, wanting to reach out to her student and console her, tell her that everything would be alright if she had faith.
But with the way things were progressing, faith was in short supply.
Her attention was brought back to Exiled, who floated up from the ground and slowly hovered to the Foundation of all Dimensions, his arms spread as if he wanted to hug the orb. "This is it. For eons I have waited to restore my home, to end my exile and free myself from this disgusting Multiverse." He placed his hand on the orb, blue electricity covering the appendage as if to tell him to back off. "Elysium will be reforged. I will go home. And now that the usurpers have been apprehended there is nothing anyone can do to stop me!"
He removed his hand and began striking yellow lightning from his claws, it spreading all across the Foundation of all Dimensions. He chuckled at the horrified expressions of the heroes as he tried to gain control over the orb, but grunted when blue electricity fought back his own lightning.
"What is this?" He intensified his power, demanding control, but the Foundation fought back. Its own lightning counteracting Exiled's immense power. "You forget your place! I am the reason you exist at all! And you will obey!" He declared, blue and yellow electricity lighting up the entire room, striking the walls of the room as the feud between creator and creation intensified.
But unbeknownst to everyone in the room, this affected far more than the state of the Throne Room.
Earth 666
The Hazbin Hotel
The Radio Demon took a delightful sip from his 'Oh Deer' mug as he hummed a merry tune to himself. He had just finished a delectable breakfast, raw venison of course, before electing to enjoy his morning coffee on the balcony of his room.
He wore a red, striped suit with white lining on his collar and noticeable tears on the bottom of his coat. Wearing black pants with red lining the bottom, as well as red and black shoes to match, with black gloves on his hands to keep them concealed. He wore a red monocle over his right eye, had pale white skin, disgusting yellow teeth, red and black hair that concealed his deer-like ears, red eyes, and he always had a smile on his face.
Alastor glanced over at his microphone leaning against the railing and couldn't help but chuckle. Just a few days ago he had caused that annoying, flat face, picture box, Vox to cause a city wide blackout due to outperforming him on a medium that the Tv Demon deemed 'inferior'.
How ridiculous!
Although he had to admit that Vox's temper tantrums were very entertaining.
He was about to take another sip of his coffee when a sudden tremor disturbed his morning peace, which if you weren't an Overlord, was very rare in Hell. He got up from his seat, grabbed his cane and looked around for the source of the disturbance before looking up to the sky.
"Now that's interesting." Alastor mused to himself as he stared up at the sky with a smile.
There, covering the entire red sky of the Pride Ring, was yellow and blue electricity colliding with one another, causing Hell wide tremors due to how powerful they were. It looked like the sky was tearing itself apart. This couldn't be Heaven starting another Extermination, they still had a couple of months left until then.
Besides this looked a lot more... Unnatural.
"Al?" A sweet voice called out to him, causing him to turn around to greet whoever was there.
But he already knew who it was.
She wore a red suit with a white shirt underneath, with black buttons and a black bowtie to match. Her skin was as white as a ghost, and her hair was a nice blonde color with hair bands to keep it nice. She had red, rosey cheeks, wore black lipstick, had yellow eyes with red irises, and a cute, little black nose that resembled one you would see on a lamb.
"W-What's going on?" Charlie Morningstar asked as she too stared up at the sky, her expression one of worry and a slight twinge of horror. She also knew that this wasn't Heaven's doing, but that made her all the more worried for what it could possibly be.
Alastor spun his microphone around before stamping it on the ground, "Honestly I am as lost as you are, my dear." His grin widened as he glanced over to the Princess of Hell. "What I do know is this!" With Charlie's attention, Alastor continued, "It may not be a happy day in Hell, but it is sure to be an entertaining one."
Earth 74
Earthrealm
The calm breeze that surrounded the Wu Shi Academy was disturbed by the sound of thunder clashing with an opposing force. Which felt foreign to the God of Fire and Lightning, seeing as how he is in tune with the latter. The protector of Earthrealm walked out of his sanctuary and gazed up at the sky in suspicion.
The sky was filled with blue and yellow lightning, colliding with one another and lighting up the sky for all to see.
The protector of Earthrealm wore an open white shirt with gold decorations and a black rear sections. He sported glowing tattoos on his arms and an aura of blue and orange fire around his arms when engaged in combat. His eyes were white, his black hair extended past his shoulders, and was of Asian nationality.
Liu Kang narrowed his eyes at the phenomenon occurring in his skies, believing that there was more to this than meets the eye. "What sorcery is this?" He asked himself as many of the academy's students gathered around him in fear of what was about to happen.
Earth 14
The Atlantic Ocean
A multitude of dorsal plates broke through the water as the monster swam through his territory, each dorsal plate lighting up with a beautiful blue as the rest of his massive form broke through the water, revealing the 550 foot Kaiju that protected mankind.
He was a bulky Kaiju with 89 dorsal plates running down his back and going all the way down to the tip of his tail. His feet were elephant like, made for holding up his massive form. His head was lizard like, his torso was wide, and his arms maybe small in comparison to the rest of his body, but they could still do some damage if he got his hands on you. And his black color added even more terror to the King of the Monsters than he already had.
Godzilla looked up to the sky to see yellow and blue lightning fighting for dominance, vaguely reminding him of his battle with King Ghidorah, but this felt worse.
Much worse.
The King of the Monsters raised his head and roared into the sky, defying whatever it was that dared threatened his rightful place among the Kaiju's of his world.
He was the king for a reason.
Earth 22
Chicago
It was as if Gods were battling in the sky above, that was the only way to describe what was happening over Chicago right now. The people of Chicago hadn't felt terror like this since Omni-Man had turned on them and had tried to conquer the planet.
The city's new protector, who was flying through the air, avoiding the strikes of the blue and yellow lightning as he flew, couldn't help but feel a little outclassed by this storm. Which was odd since he was supposed to be...
Invincible.
He wore a blue, yellow, and black suit with goggles covering his eyes, fingerless gloves, and an opening around his mouth and at the top of his mask for his hair to feel the breeze as he flew through the sky.
Invincible grunted as a stray yellow lightning bolt hit his back, sending him spiraling out of the sky. "Kid?! Kid, what the hell is going on out there?!" The sound of Cecil's voice brought him back to reality as he recovered before hitting the ground.
He took off into the sky and muttered, "I don't have a clue."
Earth 1977
Star Destroyer
There was a disturbance in The Force, but it was a feeling that he hadn't felt before, it was foreign to him and he didn't like that. The last time he felt a disturbance that shook him was when he first found out that Ahsoka had been alive after all this time.
He had to investigate.
The doors leading onto the command deck of the Star Destroyer slid open, and every single Stormtrooper and commander and stood at attention as The Dark Lord marched past them.
He wore dark clad armor, with leather gloves, leather pants, and a leather vest that was covered by a computerized control panel unit that regulated his respiratory functions. On his shoulders was a silver and black shoulder guard which was connected to his black cape. He donned a mechanical helmet, and the sound of his breathing was an eerie, mechanical hiss.
Darth Vader stared out of the window of his Star Destroyer and saw the collision of yellow and blue lightning, which appeared to not be of Sith origin. It also seemed that it wasn't related to The Force either, which was puzzling to Vader. As his Stormtroopers and commanders conversed amongst themselves about the phenomena, Darth Vader simply placed his hands on his belt and continued staring out into the vastness of space, wondering just where this was all going.
Earth 2018
Midgard
The Ghost of Sparta's Leviathan Axe was planted into the snow as he marched to the cliffside to observe the battle in the sky. Yellow and blue lightning in a struggle to overcome one another, battling for dominance, control, power over the realm. He knew this, this was a battle of Gods, but none that he was familiar with.
The Spartan had white skin, a beard that covered up the bottom half of his face, a red tattoo over his left eye, a cape made of the skin of a wolf, custom made armor with brown pants and gloves. On his belt was the head of the God of Wisdom; Mimir, who also looked puzzled at the occurrence in the sky.
"Head," The deep, gruff voice of Kratos cut through the sound of extinction. "What is happening?"
"Brother, I have no bloody idea."
Earth 13
Camp Crystal Lake
Ki Ki Ki Ma Ma Ma
For some reason the sound had caught his attention, it had disturbed his time with mother, his adoring mother who loved him the most in the world. He walked past and over the multitude of dead bodies that laid bare on the camp grounds.
The bodies of camp counselors.
The bodies of those who dared step foot on his grounds. His home.
The bodies of those who had let him drown, those who had decapitated his mother.
Ki Ki Ki Ma Ma Ma
He made his way to a clearing overlooking the lake, the moon's glow reflecting off of it. But that wasn't all that was reflecting off of it. Blue and yellow lightning flashing in the sky, seemingly breaking it apart, caught the slasher's attention. He tilted his head to the side as he clutched his machete, coated in dried blood.
He wore a faded, brown jacket, with a shirt of the same color only darker underneath, black gloves, faded grey jeans, mud covered leather boots, and his most distinguishing feature was the hockey mask he wore to cover his disfigured face, which also spelt doom for whoever laid eyes upon it.
Jason Voorhees stared up at the lightning covered sky for a moment before hearing a soothing voice in his ear. "Jason~ Oh my sweet, sweet Jason~ My special, special boy~" The voice of his mother called out to him. There was no time for this, there was work to be done.
Mothers work.
Jason turned around and returned to the campsite with his machete in hand, ready for it to taste more blood. After all, Mothers work is never truly done. Not until Camp Crystal Lake was quiet, at peace. Anyone who dared entered were either stupid or had a death wish.
Either way, Jason was more than willing to oblige.

Foundation Prime
Exiled's Fortress
Twilight didn't have the will to care anymore.
What was the point? Discord was right, she had no friends, and the ones she used to have had betrayed her in the worst possible way. Had they learned nothing from Lesson Zero? Even remembering what they had dubbed that day formed a pit in her stomach, she felt heavy and worst of all alone.
Her mind was focused on other things as she didn't even bother to acknowledge the lightning that had engulfed the Throne Room, her downcast look plastered on her face as she stared down at the floor. She had failed, she was no Element of Magic, let alone a Guardian of the Multiverse.
She was just a unicorn.
Who had no friends.
She failed to notice Batman glance at her amidst all the chaos going on right at that moment, the Dark Knight had a look of sympathy on his face before it hardened as he glared at Discord and Joker, who were cackling madly at the destruction and chaos.
Those two were having the time of their lives.
He had to admit that the Foundation intrigued him somewhat, it appeared to be fighting back against Talos' power. Just what was this thing? Was it truly the Heart of the Multiverse? As he focused on it Batman could swear that he heard a hum come from the orb, but nobody else seemed to notice it.
And before anyone knew it the Foundation of all Dimensions let out a pulse that sent Exiled flying back into his throne, destroying it. Once the pulse spread across the room, not only did it knock the villains back, but once it phased through the domes holding him and the other heroes that had been captured, it disabled the domes, freeing them from capture.
"WHAT?!" By the sound of that exclamation it seemed that Eggman had become aware of this too.
Captain America looked around, as did all of the others who were now free for the first time in days. "What the heck just happened?" He heard Spider-Man ask, to be honest he wasn't quite sure himself.
"Who cares?" Knuckles replied, smashing his fists together, "We're free!"
He couldn't believe it, Sonic couldn't believe it. Granted he had no clue what the heck was happening but that didn't matter. His friends, and everyone else, were free.
"Well, what are we waiting for?!" Pinkie asked, bouncing around freely. "Let's skedaddle out of here!" Everyone seemed to share her sentiment as they all nodded in agreement.
"You heard the pony!" Cap shouted, motioning for them all to move out. "Go! Go! Go!"
As everyone began rushing out of the Throne Room, Celestia noticed that the Elements of Harmony were unguarded and looked to Luna, "Sister! The Elements!" When she saw what Celestia saw, Luna nodded and together, they flew over to the Elements and seized them with their magic before flying over towards the exit.
The Foundation of all Dimensions released another pulse, creating a portal right outside the Throne Room. Where it leaded, nobody knew, but it was surely better than here.
"There! The portal!" Iron Man shouted as he flew ahead of the group.
But just as they were about to enter, the sound of Spike's scream alerted them. "TWILIGHT!" Batman's eyes widened as he looked back to see the unicorn still sat there, head downcast, not noticing that Exiled was getting back up onto his feet.
"What's she doin'?!" Applejack asked the obvious question.
"That idiot!" Batman wasted no time in rushing back in, despite Damian's pleas for him to get into the portal. The Dark Knight rushed in, as did Rainbow Dash, who zoomed ahead of him by a landslide.
"Twilight, come on!" She shouted, edging closer to the defeated mare. "We gotta get outta here!"
Exiled heard this and snarled, "You'll go nowhere!" He lit up his claws and fired a laser beam out of his finger tips down at Twilight Sparkle, who still hadn't moved. If it wasn't for a sudden shield that appeared around her, Twilight would've been vaporized.
The Foundation of all Dimensions used some of its power to protect its protector, but it couldn't hold it for long.
Rainbow rushed over to grab her, but once she touched the shield she was sent flying back, sliding across the floor. She groaned as she slowly got up, witnessing Batman about to touch the shield. She was about to warn him no to when he phased through the shield.
The prismatic pegasus was stunned.
Why wasn't she allowed to enter yet he was?
Back with Twilight, she failed to acknowledge anything going on around her, she wasn't bothered. She knew that everyone had left her, just like at the wedding rehearsal. At any moment Exiled's laser would break through the shield and exterminate her.
After all who would miss her anyway.
Turns out someone would as she felt a hand touch her shoulder, causing her to suck in a breath.
She looked to her left and saw Batman crouching beside her.
"B-Batman?" She asked, praying that this was real. "Y-You came b-back for me?"
His answer was simple. "Always."
She barely had time to register that as Batman scooped her up and carried her in his arms as he rushed toward the portal. As the two friends exited the shield Exiled's blast broke through and destroyed the floor. Batman ran out of the Throne Room, with Twilight in his arms, and Rainbow Dash flying alongside him, and made his way to the portal, where Celestia, the Mane 4, Spike, Damian, and Luna were waiting for them.
"Get in the portal now!" Batman full on ordered as he rushed past them and jumped into the portal.
Joker slowly got to his feet and shook his head, what had hit him anyway? He looked out of the Throne Room and saw a certain Bat jump into the portal, with the others that stayed behind following close behind him. He quickly pulled out his gun and opened fire to try and stop them, but it was for nothing as the portal closed, securing their escape.
This was not going as he predicted it would, not only did the Foundation of all Dimensions resist him, but the Guardians and their allies had evaded them. But it mattered not, Exiled had what he needed now, there was nothing anyone could do to stop him.
His attention was brought to Eggman, who glared up at the Ancient being. "Well I hope you're happy, Exiled. Due to your inexperience in controlling the Foundation of all Dimensions the heroes managed to escape!"
"It matters not." Exiled waved his hand dismissively, not really taking this threat to his plans seriously. "The Foundation of all Dimensions may have resisted me for now, but in the end it will know who its true master is." He placed his hands behind his back as he walked down the stairs. "But now is the time for fortifications. The usurpers will return to try and seize the Foundation from us, we cannot allow that to come to pass." Exiled turned his head to Eggman, "Robotnik, what is the status of the Gateway in the Catacombs?"
"It's practically complete, it just needs a few more adjustments." The mad doctor informed the Ancient overlord.
"Excellent." Exiled nodded, now turning his attention to the others. "The rest of you prepare yourselves. You all shall guard this place with your lives, lest you wish to relinquish your hold on the Multiverse." When everyone nodded, still falling for Exiled's lie, he turned back to Eggman, "Have the Gateway brought to the Throne Room once it is completed. Now go and earn what is yours."
Robotnik was the first to leave with Orbot and Cubot hovering by his side, arms folded behind his back as he thought to himself, "Those brainless idiots may blindly follow that ancient fossil, but I've seen what will happen if the Foundation is used to power that Gateway, my simulations confirmed it. I will not let an opportunity like this slip my grasp." He glanced down at Orbot, "What is the status of the Ultra FR-G1?"
"It just needs a stable power source and then it's good to go." He informed his creator before asking, "I assume you have a plan."
"Please, I'm Dr. Eggman!" He smiled devilishly. "I always have a plan."
Unknown Earth
Vorton
Batman set Twilight down once the portal closed behind them, with the other Equestrians and Robin landing behind him. He looked down at the unicorn and felt sympathetic at her current condition, whatever happened between her and Discord must've affected her deeply if she was still like this.
"Father." The sound of his son's voice caused him to turn around and face the young lad. He then began walking towards him as Damian said, "I was caught off guard, I let them get the better of me. I won't let it-!" He was cut off when he felt two arms wrap around him. He looked up and saw that it was Batman hugging him.
"I'm glad you're okay." Was all the Dark Knight said.
Robin didn't know how to react at first as he never got any form of affection from his father before. He went for the safest option and reciprocated the hug, awkwardly and stiffly wrapping his arms around his father. Although he would never admit to it, Damian was happy to see his father.
"SONIC!!!" Said hedgehog was suddenly tackled by both Amy and Tails, who were both crying into his chest, happy to see him alive and well. "I'm so happy you're okay! Don't you ever scare me like that again, do you hear me, mister?!" Amy threatened.
Sonic, knowing how dangerous the pink hedgehog was with her hammer, could only nod in affirmation while Knuckles simply chuckled at the scene playing out before him.
Iron Man walked over to Cap and slapped his shoulder, "How many times is this that I've saved your ass now, old man?" He asked playfully, enticing Captain America's laughter.
"About as many times as I've saved you." Cap retorted with a smirk.
Black Widow, who was standing next to Spider-Man, placed a hand on her hip and let a coy smirk don upon her lips. "Excuse me? But who's the one always looking out for you boys? Oh, wait! That would be me."
"Didn't I literally save you all from the Green Goblin the other day?" Spider-Man reminded them.
Meanwhile Mario was engulfed in a bone crushing hug by his brother, "G-Good to see you too, little brother." The plumber said in a strained voice. When he realized he was hugging him too tight Luigi released Mario as everyone else gathered around him.
"Thanks for the save." DK thanked his rival before adding, "But I would've done it quicker."
He was suddenly punched in the shoulder by Peach, "Play nice." She reprimanded playfully before leaning down and kissing Mario on the cheek, "Thanks for coming to my rescue again, Mario."
"Ah heh heh! Heh heh, n-no problemo, Princess." Mario blushed before noticing something behind Toad, a flickering and twitching form. His eyes widened as he rushed past his friend and exclaimed, "X-PO!"
Upon hearing Mario's shout, Iron Man, Batman, and Sonic all darted over to him and crouched down next to X-PO, who looked severely damaged as his visor was cracked, his antenna was broken, and one of his tiny arms were bent in a way that didn't look natural.
"I guess not everyone loves my carefree approach towards protecting the Multiverse. Sorry, I couldn't save your-" He tried to apologize but his audio processor was badly damaged, causing it to glitch and cut out. His visor dimmed, he was going offline. "But I programmed the Gateway. You must stop Talos. No matter what, the Foundation of all Dimensions must remain in tact. I think this is the end for me, guys. Before I go, I just wanted to say thank you. For helping me, for answering the call. And for being my friends."
His voice glitched one last time before his eye went dark.
He was gone.
Each Guardian and varying reactions. Mario took off his cap and lowered his head in respect, Sonic closed his eyes and looked away, Batman simply lowered his head, and Iron Man slammed his fist on the ground in anger. And he had every right to be angry, they had messed up big time.
Not only was the entire Multiverse at stake but Twilight was completely out of it and they had just lost X-PO.
Speaking of Twilight, where was she?
They all turned around and winced as Celestia, Luna, Spike, and the Mane 5 all slowly and hesitantly approached the grey mare.
This wasn't going to be pretty.
Not one bit.
Words couldn't describe the feeling Celestia had in her belly right now, it was a mixture of butterflies and a heavy weight that made her tummy drop to the very dark pits below. In all her years of mentoring Twilight she had never once felt nervous talking to her student.
Yet this time it seemed different.
When she glared at her with that much venom and animosity it honestly gave her flashbacks to the looks Luna had given her before she had become Nightmare Moon, or when Sunset Shimmer left her care and never returned. She swore she would not make the same mistake with Twilight, but maybe she'd already done so.
"Twilight?" She spoke gently to her student, who still refused to look at her. Celestia hovered the darkened Element of Magic before her with her magic, holding it out for Twilight to take. "I do not know what it is that Discord has done to you, but just know that you are not alone. You have friends here willing to stand by your side until the end." She cringed when she heard Twilight scoff. Did she hear that right? Or was it just her imagination? "Twilight you must break whatever hold Discord has over you, and trust in us to help you push forward."
"Trust you?" Celestia took a small step back at the sound of Twilight's voice. It was a cold, harsh whisper that she hadn't heard from the unicorn before. Never had she heard her faithful student speak with such venomous tones. The pit in her belly worsened when Twilight whispered, "You're all the last ponies I would ever consider trusting."
"What's wrong, Twilight?" Fluttershy asked hesitantly, still hiding behind her mane.
That was the wrong thing to say as Twilight slowly turned around to face them. The ones who left. The ones who abandoned her. The ones who threw away two years of friendship just to kiss up to royalty.
She was beyond angry at this point.
"What's wrong?" Twilight repeated with a harsh whisper before screaming, "WHAT'S WRONG?! AFTER WHAT YOU DID TO ME, YOU HAVE THE AUDACITY TO ASK ME 'WHAT'S WRONG'?! ARE BUCKING KIDDING ME!!!" She was on her hooves now, flaring her nostrils in anger directed at not just the shy pegasus, but to everyone who was at that wedding rehearsal.
Fluttershy had already retreated behind Rainbow Dash, but the brash pegasus wasn't doing so well either as her jaw had practically fallen to the floor. Rarity looked ready to faint, Pinkie just looked confused and Applejack looked confused too, but she was also a little hurt. Luna and Spike stared at the unicorn with surprised and shocked eyes, never had either of them heard Twilight Sparkle speak in such a manner. It was foreign to their ears.
Celestia looked beyond shocked, not at just the way Twilight spoke, but the look in her eyes.
It was pure hatred.
"W-What are you talking about, darling?" Rarity dared to ask, hoping to not anger her friend further.
She failed.
"The wedding rehearsal!" Twilight shouted, causing everyone's eyes to grow wide. That's what this was all about? Why? What happened at the....? They all cringed and winced as the events of that day came back to them like a tidal wave, what they did, how they left her.
"Ah thought we'd moved past that." Said Applejack.
"NO! You moved past it! You put it behind you! I DIDN'T!!!" Twilight screamed, stomping her hoof on the ground every time she spoke, emphasizing her point. "Did you forget how you treated me?! How you all just left me in that hall?! How you all abandoned me when I needed you most?! When my own brother disowned me in front of everypony?!"
Applejack shook her head and took a step to her distraught friend, "Now hang on, Sugarcube! Ah apologized for not believing ya at the rehearsal, but you have ta admit the way ya went about it wasn't very reasonable, now was it?"
Twilight chuckled mirthlessly, rolling her eyes at Applejack's defense. "You think that little apology was enough to mend my broken heart? 'Oh Ah'm mighty sorry Twalight for not believin' ya! Even though we all agreed to take your worries more inta consideration! But golly gee, Ah plum forgot! A-hyuck!'" She mocked her, mimicking her southern accent. "And when it comes to how I reacted, I tried to warn you not once, not twice, but three times! So excuse me if I wasn't in the best state of mind at the time, but once again you girls tossed me aside like I was a pile of garbage just so you could be bridesmaids! Nice to know that our two years of friendship meant so much to you!"
"Now that ain't fair!" Applejack protested, getting heated. "We didn't know she was a fake!"
"I DON'T CARE THAT YOU DIDN'T BELIEVE ME!!!"
"THEN WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT?!"
"YOU ABANDONED ME!!!" She felt tears threaten to fall from her eyes, her teeth gnashing together, her nostrils flaring. "YOU PROMISED THAT YOU WOULD TAKE MY WORRIES INTO CONSIDERATION!!! REMEMBER LESSON ZERO?!" Each of the Mane 5 winced further, they'd rather not remember that day. "I CAME TO YOU GIRLS BECAUSE I NEEDED YOUR SUPPORT! BUT INSTEAD YOU LAUGHED IN MY FACE! SAID IT WASN'T A BIG DEAL! IT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN TO YOU, BUT IT WAS TO ME!!! I THOUGHT YOU LEARNED YOUR LESSON BUT CLEARLY NOT SINCE YOU DID THE EXACT SAME THING AT THE WEDDING!!!"
"Twilight--" Pinkie tried to say to her but was cut off.
"NO! SHUT UP, YOU ANNOYING MARE, THE ADULTS ARE TALKING!" The sound of Pinkie's mane deflating could be heard, but Twilight didn't care. "Y'know, I should've figured out sooner that you girls didn't care about me, that you were just using me for your own gain!"
"What are you talking about?!" Rainbow cried, her voice breaking, hating that her friend was feeling this way.
"Let's list off some things, shall we? You all tried using me for the tickets to the Grand Galloping Gala, when all I wanted to do was get some food in my belly so I could think straight! But no! Twilight couldn't get anything to eat, she had to solve your problems first! Or more recently, the wedding, let's not worry that Twilight has valid concerns for her brother's wellbeing, let's instead play dress up and suck up to royalty and be bridesmaids! Buck Twilight, we have sucking up to do!" She turned her gaze to Rarity, "Let's not worry about my friends birthday party, let's instead ditch making her dress and suck up to Fancy Pants so I could move up in the world!" She scoffed at Rarity's shocked face. "What? You think I didn't know about that? I'm not stupid Rarity, I only played along because I didn't want to put strain on our friendship, which clearly wasn't important to you!"
The mare could only look down in shame as tears flooded her eyes.
"You want to know the worst part? When I was sent down to the mines underneath Canterlot, when I found Cadance and showed up to the wedding, you want to know what I noticed? Nopony asked 'Hey, where's Twilight?' or 'I wonder where Twilight is?' You all didn't bother to look for me, did you?" She got her answer when they all looked away with guilty expressions on their faces. "That's what I thought. You really don't care, do you? Why else would you look at me the way you did when you left me? I'm just an obligation to you, so the Elements of Harmony can function! So Equestria's defenses aren't tampered with! You were just using me for your own gain, I don't know why I didn't see it sooner! Well I know when I'm not wanted! THIS FRIENDSHIP IS OVER!!!"
All the girls gasped in shock, their jaws agape, tears in their eyes. They couldn't believe this was happening, but what's worse was that she was right. They had used her, they had treated her like dirt. They really hadn't been very friendly to Twilight in the time they've known her. And the fact that it took Discord to show them that really showed how horrible they were.
Celestia had heard enough, "Twilight enough! Please don't do this! Your rage. Your anger. It's blinding you, my faithful student." She tried to reason with her, but Twilight simply looked at her with disgust.
"What? Can't stand seeing your precious weapon finally standing up for herself?"
"W-What?"
"Don't play dumb! It's unbecoming! I warned you about Nightmare Moon," Luna winced at that, "But you dismissed me, telling me it was an 'Old Pony's Tale', but you knew! You planned for me to reawaken the Elements of Harmony, you manipulated me! And since then I haven't been your student, I've been your sword! Your defense! Meanwhile you just sit on your plot and twiddle your hooves while I risk my life cleaning up your messes! And I tried warning you at the wedding but once again, you dismissed me. Saying that Cadance couldn't be capable of doing that, she doesn't have a bad bone in her body. Luna didn't either yet look how that turned out."
Celestia shook her head, this wasn't how it was supposed to go.
Twilight swatted the Element of Magic out of the air, the crown clanging across the ground. "Well I'm done being your weapon. I'm done being your tool. As of now I hereby resign as your student." Celestia gasped and chocked back a sob. "Find a new Element of Magic, because I'm done with that. I'm done with them," she pointed at her friends with disdain before glaring up at Celestia, "And I'm definitely done with you!"
"TWILIGHT!"
She whipped her head around, only for her ears to fold back under Batman's stern gaze. He wasn't the only one as each of the other Guardians looked on at the scene before them. They all looked at the unicorn sadly and with sympathy.
"That is enough." Batman said sternly.
Twilight looked away from her friends reprimanding gaze before scoffing, "Whatever." She turned away from her former friends and mentor and began drudging away with her head held low.
"Twilight, please." Pinkie pleaded, causing the unicorn to turn around. "We're your friends..."
She simply looked away and muttered, "I wish I could believe that."
With that Twilight Sparkle walked out of the Gateway room, wanting to be alone with her thoughts.
Celestia could only quietly sob to herself, she let it happen again, she'd broken her bond with another pony she cared about because of her secrets, and her misguided way of molding ponies to be the best that they can be. "Why can't I ever learn from my mistakes?" She thought to herself, tears falling from her eyes before feeling a hoof rest on her shoulder. She looked to see Luna with a concerned look on her face. She also felt something wrap around her leg. It was Spike, who was sobbing into the mare's leg, trying to process everything that was going on, the poor thing. "I have to fix this." She said softly, beginning to move after her student. "I have to talk to her."
"No."
She stopped and turned to see that Batman was glaring at her.
"You're the last person she wants to see." He said in an unforgiving tone. "I'll talk to her."
"With all due respect--"
"I said I'll talk to her." He shut her down, leaving no room for debate. "You've done enough."
Rainbow Dash was having none of that as she flew right up to Batman's face. "Hey! Who're you to talk to the princess that way?!"
Her angered expression faltered underneath Batman's glare, "Who am I? I'm the one who didn't leave Twilight in her time of need." He was marching toward her, causing her to shrink back and slowly descend to the floor. "I'm the one who's been by her side unquestioningly and loyally. You want to know who I am? I am vengeance. I am the night! I am Batman!" At this point Rainbow was on the floor, shaking like a leaf, her eyes full of fear. "So sit down and shut up. And let me clean the mess that you created."
Twilight couldn't stop the tears from falling from her eyes, tried as she might she just couldn't stop them. She felt horrible about what just happened, all of that pent up rage just exploded from her, she couldn't contain it no matter how hard she tried.
She really laid into them.
She destroyed them.
Did they deserve it? Yes. Was now the right time? Buck no.
She really messed up, but they had hurt her deeply, breaking her heart into little pieces before stomping on it further. It was kind of messed up that the Guardians treated her better in the few days she's known them than in the two years she'd known her friends in Ponyville.
Kinda messed up.
She sniffled before noticing someone sitting next to her. Twilight looked over and saw Batman sitting there with his legs crossed, hands intertwined with one another. "How're you feeling?" He asked, already knowing the answer.
"Awful."
"You really laid into them back there."
"Are you defending them?"
"No."
She could almost smile, she knew he wouldn't. "I hate to admit it but Discord was right, I mess everything up. I make everything worse."
"What makes you think that?"
She looked at him questioningly, "Are you kidding? Look at how I blew up back there! We're in the middle of a catastrophic event and I go and make it all about me! Morale was down enough but I just made it worse! I make everything worse! Discord was right. I am a jinx."
"I don't think you are."
She continued to vent, "And worst of all he was right about my friends! They treat me like dirt and I let them! I always wanted to please Princess Celestia, make sure everything was perfect, only to make things worse for everyone and myself. No wonder nopony wanted to be my friend in Canterlot. No wonder I have no friends."
"You know that's not true."
Twilight scoffed, "How can we be friends when I don't know the first thing about you?"
She had a point. she didn't even know his name, what his favourite color was, what type of food he liked or disliked. He was an enigma to her and no matter how hard she tried to get to know him he just wouldn't let her. He didn't want to put her at risk, but maybe that was just his latent fear of letting anyone get close to him.
Maybe it was time to change that.
"You're right." She looked surprised when she looked at him. He was staring right at her as he said, "Maybe it's time we change that." He then reached up underneath his cowl and began pulling back, causing Twilight's eyes to grow wide. He was revealing his secret identity.
When the cowl came off, the man underneath was very handsome. He had black hair, a squared jawline, and beautiful blue eyes.
She couldn't believe it, what she was seeing, only those that Batman deeply trusted were worthy of knowing his name, his origin.
His darkness.
"My name is Bruce Wayne." He revealed, finally ready to tell Twilight the truth. "When I was ten my parents were murdered in front of my eyes. I've spent my life training to fight the same sort of criminals that took them from me. But this? This is different. This isn't about me. This is bigger than I am, and this is bigger than you are. Get out of your own way, focus on what's important here, on what's important to you. I'm not asking you to forgive them, that's up to you, but right now your greatest enemy isn't Exiled or Discord. It's you. The only way we're going to survive this is if we work together, if we believe in each other." He placed a hand on her shoulder. "And we believe in you, Twilight. I believe in you. Always have. Always will. You're not alone, and you never will be. Whether you forgive them that's for you to decide, but take it from me, it never hurts to have more people in your corner."
She stared at him with wide, sparkling eyes before lunging forward and tackling him in a hug, sobbing into his shoulder. All the Dark Knight could do was wrap his own arms around her and gently pat her back as she cried. He let a smile grace his face when he noticed a shimmer of magic on the edge of Twilight's tail. Then the shimmer expanded before engulfing her tail and soon, her entire body.
As her color returned she said, "T-Thank you..." She repeated over and over until the color grey no longer graced her form. She pulled back and gave her friend a teary smile.
"Feeling better?" Bruce asked, wiping her eyes with his thumb.
The mare nodded, "T-Thank you, Bruce." She placed a hoof over her heart, "For trusting me with this." Twilight wiped her eyes as she sniffled, "I won't make you regret this. I Pinkie Promise." She then went through the motions, which confused Bruce but he didn't interrupt her.
He smiled before setting her down gently and pulling his cowl back over his face. The man gone, the Bat returned. "What do you want to do now?"
Twilight looked away, her eyes uncertain, before looking back up at her best friend. "I think..... I'm ready to talk to the girls again."

Holy hell that was a huuuuuuge chapter! Jeeeeeeeze! The cameo's were fun to do. And I was surprisingly satisfied with how I handled the Twilight stuff. And if any of you say she was OOC, keep in mind that A) She had been bottling this up for months. And B) She was also under Discord's influence so 
Get ready for a rollercoaster folks! Cause it's gonna be a hell of a ride!
Btw let me know which cameo was your favorite. I'm curious to know, that's just how I'm wired.
Anyways, see you guys next chapter!

Hey, for what it's worth, the way you had Twilight chew out the Mane 5 and Celestia was satisfying!
Bob: " WAAAHUHUHAUH! "
Stonetail: " What's wrong Bob? "
Bob: " That is the most sad and happiest part of the story in my life. "
Let's recap:
With the Foundation of all Dimensions in his possession, The Exilied prepares to DESTROY the Multiverse, affecting other dimensions (such as those of Hazbin Hotel, Mortal Kombat, Godzilla, Star Wars, Invincible, God of War and Friday the 13th).
During the rise of power, the heroes, along with their allies, manage to escape from the place thanks to a portal to Vorton, where X-PO dies from the wounds caused by Luthor, without first informing everyone that he reprogrammed the Gateaway to they're come back to Foundation Prime when they're ready.
While Stark, Batman, Mario and Sonic happily reunite with their friends, Twilight, still corrupted by her fight with Discord, angrily yells at the Mane 5, Spike, Luna and Celestia for what happened at the wedding rehearsal.
Storming away from the place to be alone, Twilight is calmed down by Batman, who reveals his secret identity to her, and she manages to recover her color, ready to talk to her friends again.
Have I forgotten something?
By the way, I've come up with an idea for a story for when you finish this one, if you're interested:
Include the Rainbooms in the serie of Hazbin Hotel, helping the protagonists throughout the plot.
Alastor: "So, what you think?"
Godzilla
(After finally seeing a Godzilla cameo in this fanfic) y.yarn.co/98f74510-62d5-4b48-867d-81fa863b399a_text.gif
Obviously Godzilla is my favorite.

Oh no Shit Pony Sherlock, for your case it is as you selfishly once said and I quote “You have a lot to think about”.
And once again it’s the Goddamn Batman that has to fix everything, despite his gloomy and no nonsense demeanor at least he’s being 10x the friend Twilight needs then her former friends combined.
Wowie, zowie! What a chapter!
While I'm glad to see everyone escaped, Exiled and the other villains still have the Foundation of all Dimensions, which is not good!
Things get even worse when Twilight finally explodes and lashes out at her "former" friends and mentor. Pretty harsh, but I don't blame her after the way she was treated.
The heart-to-heart scene between Batman and Twilight is my favorite moment of this chapter (maybe even the whole story) and thankfully Twilight restored herself from Discord's magic.
Wonder what Twilight is going to say to her former friends now? And will she forgive them? Guess we'll wait and see.
And all man, the cameos from other shows/video games in this chapter were awesome!
They're so hard to choose, but I think my favorite out of all of them is Kratos.

What you want to send them to Hell? That is a bit traumatizing in a child’s perspective.
But since we’re talking about the Equestria Girls the only time I see how they would even be there is in an AU when Anon-A-Miss happened as the Rainbooms(Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy to be exact) were complete jerks for what they have done to poor Sunset Shimmer and the CMC for starting the whole thing to frame Sunset for the pettiest of reasons.
I imagine during the time at their worst when Sunset was trying one last time to prove her innocence the Rainbooms were being too ignorant and stubborn to listen to her and said something they can’t take back(the worst most likely Applejack and Rainbow Dash) which causes Sunset to run away crying, but right after she left the CMC came and confessed to being Anon-A-Miss which would obviously make the Rainbooms shocked, pissed but all around guilty and ashamed for they now realized Sunset is innocent and she wasn’t the traitor but each of them were.
So all of them ran out searching for her in fear that their actions would lead Sunset to drastic measures such as at least return to Equestria (no doubt Twilight would close the portal permanently for hurting Sunset and betrayed her trust) or at worst suicide(whether she would succeed, was stopped or even attempt to do it I don’t know but they don’t) and do everything in their power to apologize and make up for it even if it’s all in vain, but somehow during their search the Rainbooms died(by accident or murder unknown) and due to their recent actions and never got the chance to fix them they were sent to Hell as Sinners (whether they are in the same Circle of Hell of one of the Deadly Sins or separated are up in the air) and some point later the CMC joined them in hell after confessing to being Anon-A-Miss at CHS which they were expelled and sent to juvenile prison since their cyber bullying was not only illegal in the first place but has caused five obvious deaths(hopefully not 6 if adding Sunset Shimmer) along the way the three young girls somehow died and damned to hell to most likely the Circle of Envy since jealousy was their motivation for Anon-A-Miss to begin with.
As Rainbooms and CMC were continued to be miserable in the streets of hell haunted by the guilt of their selfish actions they were either approached by Charlie Morningstar or heard about the Hazbin Hotel at a second chance of redemption so they willingly volunteered to join and even tried to help Charlie in an attempt to redeem the other sinners as well as their way to make up for their sins in the good memories they had of Sunset Shimmer, even if they have to put up with the Overlords, Alastor and survive against Adam and his Exterminator angels.
And who knows if Sunset is still alive but in emotional turmoil after learning of her former friend’s deaths in their attempt to apologize, learned where their souls ended up might try to find someway to get the afterlife and try to pull an Orpheus act to save the Rainbooms and CMC’s souls for a better fate and try to reconcile with them, weather she forgives them or not is her choice but she agrees even they didn’t deserve to be damned like that and is still a firm believer in second chances.
Well that’s how I see a crossover between Equestria Girls and Hazbin Hotel would go.
11905510
Well, I don't see it that way, and besides, it must be the author's decision, not yours.
11905511
I wasn’t making a decision for the author, I was just giving a synopsis on how a crossover of Equestria Girls and Hazbin Hotel would go and how and why the Rainbooms would even be in HH Hell in the first place.
11905523
Oh okay.
Your idea of how they ended up there would be a good prologue, but the plot I suggested works too.
11905527
The plot you suggested would come along later while the Rainbooms and CMC are working at the Hotel.
11905530
And help Charlie against Adam and the Exorcists, participating in the events of the series.
11905545
Yes that too.
11905546
Exactly
But let's see what the author thinks about this.
11905343
The portal wasn't created by X-PO, it was the Foundation of All Dimensions that created it. Also, "who reveals her secret identity..." It should be his, not her.
11905569
Corrected
What a wake up call for the other Mane 5 and the Princess! I liked it!
You know, I felt kind of nervous when you called this chapter extinction.
11905665
That was the idea
Glad to see it pay off
😨😨😨😨😨😨😨
H-H-H-HOLY COW TWILIGHT! JESUS CHRIST!!!!
Wow, uhh, okay, that was literally the most impactful chapter I’ve ever read and that literally felt like those words legitimately hurt me, like psychologically punching me in the gut. Holy shit. Wow, I’ve never experienced this level of hatred coming from Twilight when she tore her “friends” up, holy cow. (Panting) I think I need a breather from this. Also finally, Bruce reveals his face to Twilight, thank god.
Also, can we please have another big multiversal battle at the end but with more characters coming in from other dimensions and aiding our heroes. I SOOOO want Godzilla to keep Talos’s FUCKING ASS!!! Please, make it happen Battwell
OH MY GOD LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOO YES
THANK YOU FOR ADDING GOJIRA
NO DOUBT IT'S GODZILLA THE GOAT.
(I wanna see him be friends with the ponies :D)
11905668
I will thank you for adding Godzilla in here :D
Seeing those other universes makes me want to see a crossover with Mortal Kombat
