> My Little Mixel Mixing is magic > by darkmage1997 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1: Me Greatest DIG DIG! (edited) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- In a mining town, where the houses were all boulders with domes of gold on the top, and windows, a trio of gray creatures, one of them a Cyclops, another with a large arm and buck teeth, and the third one had a craggy body. "Seismo, Shuff, ME GREATEST DIG-DIG!" the one with the large arm said. "Me greatest dig-dig!" the Cyclops creature, whose name was Seismo, said in a challenging tone. "Me greatest," the craggy bodied one, named Shuff, said. "CONTEST!" the large armed creature said. And with that, the three creatures began to dig into the ground, with the giant armed one twisting his arm, the Cyclops with ox horns stomping his feet, and the third one just twisting his body to dig. While digging, the large armed one mistakenly turned downwards, while his friends went up wards. "WINNER!" the two said, resurfacing, and noticed more tribes, red, dark blue, light blue, hot pink, regular purple, dark purple, yellow, light yellow, tan, green, brown, aqua green, and orange all coming towards them. "Hey guys," said a short red creature with his head on fire, and had a beak to go with it, who was looking around, only seeing the two, "Where's Krader?" he asked the two. Looking around themselves, they couldn't see their friend either, "We don't know Flain. We were having a contest to see who is greatest dig-dig, but Krader should've surfaced by now," Shuff said with a shrug. "Well, I thinks we should go and find him, you remember what happened last time, don't you?" asked a small, yellow Cyclops cat creature, with what appears to be a broken wire for a tail. "Oh yes, we remember," Seismo said, remembering Kraders discovery of the Electroid kingdom. Walking over to a work shed, Seismo grabbed some shovels and brought them back to the tribes, "We can all find Krader together!" Seismo said, with the gesture of a smile, which the others nodded, and started digging as well. Meanwhile, with Krader, After awhile of digging, Krader resurfaced, "WINNER!" he yelled, only to realize he wasn't in the Cragster Kingdom. Looking around, he saw only seven chairs, six with a different marking on them, "W-where be me?" Krader asked, scared of not knowing where he was. Turning around, he was suddenly grabbed by six pairs of what he thought were hooves, "AHH!" Krader screamed like a little girl. After some searching, they found a tunnel that they assumed was made by Krader, and followed it to where he resurfaced. "Krader!" the tribes all called for their missing friend. Just then they heard Krader scream in agony, and turned to see six creatures, some with wings, one with a horn, one with wings and a horn, and two with out either. "I'll ask again, do you come in peace or war?" the lavender one asked, with a tone that ensures she doesn't trust Krader. "STOP!" the tribes all said, trying to save Krader. "You no sacrifice Krader!" Seismo said, trying to stand up for his pal. "Oh heavens no, we aren't doing anything that barbaric!" the white one with a horn said, getting defensive. "Yeah, we're just trying to figure out if this guy wants to fight or not," the rainbow maned one with wings said, backing up her friend. "We're really peaceful!" the same lavender creature said, with a reassuring tone. "Is that why you interrogate me? Well, me no threat, and neither are my friends!" Krader reassured them. "Well, why didn't you say that before?" the pink pony asked. "Me just shy, and didn't want to alarm anyone!" Krader responded. "Well, if you mean no harm, then you can go back to your friends," the lavender one said, releasing Krader, who ran back to his friends. "But before you go, can you tell us who and what are all of you?" she asked the strange creatures. As Flain was about to answer, they heard the front door opening, "MOMMY! WE'RE HOME!" called a little girl, who sounded as if she was getting closer to the throne room. When the door opened, it revealed several smaller creatures, and several two legged creatures, some with blonde hair, and some with brown hair, and one of them with glasses over his face. Just then, they noticed the new creatures, "OH! Are we interrupting something? I'm sorry," the blonde girl said, reaching to close the doors. "Oh no, you weren't interrupting anything, come on in, we were just about to introduce our selves," the lavender creature said, inviting the children back in, who all took a seat where their respective parents sat. "Well, since you all are visiting, we'll make the introductions first, my name is Twilight Sparkle, the princess of Friendship, and these are my sweet children, Josh, Kelly, Nyx, Crystal, Trinity, and Capricore, or Cory as he normally responds to," Twilight said, with a kind tone. "I am Rarity Belle, one of the top fashion designers of Equestria, and the local boutique owner," Rarity said, flicking her mane elegantly, before looking down at her children and sister, "And these are my son and daughter, Conner and Crystal Charity, and my sister Sweetie Belle," Rarity said, smiling at her sister, and her children. "Ah'm Applejack, and these are mah kids, Mike, Season Harvest, and Bolt, and my sister, Applebloom," Applejack said with a smile. "I'm Rainbow Dash, the fastest flyer in Equestria, and these two are my son and daughter, Echo and Vibrant Sky, and my protégée, Scootaloo," Rainbow said, looking at her human son, and the Pegasus fillies that she takes under her wing. "And I'm Fluttershy, and I love to take care of animals, and these two are my son daughter, Toby, and Serenity Meadow," Fluttershy said with a squee, as she looked down at her kind hearted son and her equally caring yet shy daughter. "Well its nice to meet all of you, but if I can ask, how did Toby, Josh, and all the others who look like them get to this 'Equestria' country to begin with?" Flain asked, not knowing he was trekking on sensitive ground. After almost an hour of sad and tragic stories, Flain, along with all of the others looked on in sadness, "Whoa, sorry guys, I didn't mean to make you tell your stories if they were that hard," Flain said, felling guilty. "Ah, don't worry about it," Toby said, reassuring the Infernite leader. "But now, back to my question from earlier, who and what are you guys?" Twilight asked the tribes. > Chapter 2: Cubit demonstrations and a murp (edited) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "To answer your question, Princess Twilight, we're known as Mixels. All of us are divided up into different tribes, each with different elements." Flain explained, looking at the group of friends, who all nodded in understanding. "So, for red Mixels, that would mean you're fire attributed?" Toby asked the Infernite leader. "Yes, and more specifically, red Mixels, like me Zorch and Vulk, are known as Infernites, grey Mixels, like Krader, and his friends Seismo and Shuff are based on earth, and are known as Cragsters, yellow Mixels are the Electroids, who are Teslo, Zaptor, and Volectro, who are all based on electricity, the light blue Mixels, Flurr, Slumbo, and Lunk, are the Frosticons, based on ice, the Fang Gang are the brown Mixels, which are based on teeth, and their names are Jawg, Chomely, and Gobba, the Flexers, who are based on stretching, and names are Kraw, Balk, and Tenetro, are the orange ones, the green ones are called the Glorp Corp. based on goo, and their names are Torts, Glomp, and Glurt, the tan ones, Hoogi, Footi, and Scorpi, are the Spikels, based on spikes, the dark purple ones are the Wiztastics, whose names are Mesmo, Magnifo, and Wizwuz, and they like magic, now the dark blue ones are the Fighters, who consist of Tobus, Madin, and Sando, are all great fighters, the Rockettes are the pretty hot pink Mixels, who consist of Musica, Pinkie Crash, and Superstar, and then there're their rivals the Electoons, not to be confused with Electroids, who are Viynal, Dee-Gee, and Rocky, then we have the DJ musicians, who are Swayla, Deimo, and Spot. All three of them are based on music, and last but not least we have the supersonics, who are the fastest Mixels there are, and their names are Sonia, Speedy, and Dash," Flain said, introducing the Mixel tribes, taking a moment to catch his breath. "Don't you think it would've been easier on yourself if you let the leaders of each tribe introduce themselves?" Musica asked, putting a hand on Flains shoulder. "Oh, sure, NOW you tell me!" Flain said sarcastically. Musica just shrugged her shoulder in confusion. "When you say you're Mixels, does that mean you can mix?" Twilight asked, curious about the new race of creatures before her. "Flain, why don't I take over?" Teslo asked his Infernite buddy, who nodded in agreement, "Ok, and to answer that question, we can mix, using tools called cubits," Teslo said, pulling out an all yellow cubit, "Cubits, depending on what color they are, can help us mix to handle certain situations. However, if a cubit is an all one color cubit, like this one, we can go beyond a mix, and make a max!" Teslo explained, as he presented the cubit to his fellow Electroids, "Volectro and Zaptor, shall we demonstrate?" he asked his friends. "AHAHAHA! Sure!" the yellow Mixel, the ponies and humans thought was Volectro, said, as he and Zaptor put their hands on the cubit. As soon as all the Electroids touched the cubit, it turned into two beakers, which mix the three as if the three were chemicals, and after one beaker poured all three Mixels into the other, the beaker exploded, and the three yelled, "MAX!", and before the family, stood not the Electroids, but a giant, yellow, bipedal lion. "This is an example of a max, when three Mixels of one tribe combine," Zorch explained, while pulling out another cubit, but unlike the first one, this one was red and gray, "Seismo, shall we demonstrate a mix?" Zorch asked, presenting the cubit to the Cyclops Mixel, who reluctantly placed one of his hands on the cubit, which turned into a giant mixer, the kind you'd find in a sweets shop, and swept up the two Mixels, and after awhile, the family heard the two yell, "MIX!", and then the cookie dough mixer exploded, releasing a Mixel mix that looked more like Seismo, but with rocket shoes. The mix then took a look at the mix that he was, before inspecting one of his feet, only to be blasted right in the face with fire, "FACE!" the mix cried in pain, as he flew away, totally out of control. He barreled into his fellow Mixels, and the happy family, much to their dismay. After a few minutes, the mix ended. "HA! Some fun, eh?" Zorch asked, as he and Seismo fell. "YOU!" Seismo yelled, trying to catch Zorch, who was trying to run away, as they hit the ground, "Me no like you!" Seismo said bluntly to the speedster, who just giggled nervously at the glare he was given by not only Seismo, but the other Mixels as well. "Ok, so the cubits all work to help you mix together to solve problems?" Twilight asked the Mixels. "Yeah, but sometime work, sometimes no," Krader replied, wrapping his giant arm around his body. "What Krader means by that, is that while the cubits help us solve problems, we can sometimes end up making a murp," Glomp explained what Krader was saying. "What's a 'murp'?" Rainbow Dash asked the green Mixel with a runny nose, which grossed everyone out, except Glomps fellow Glorp Corp Mixels. "Well, a murp is what happens when a mix doesn't go the way we want them to," Superstar replied, shedding some light on the subject. "Yeah, but we can never predict what we get, so we experiment with the cubits until we get a mix we can use," Torts said, holding a green and tan cubit. But as he was about to present it to one of the Spikels, he tripped, and the cubit fell on Scorpi and Glurt. The cubit then turned into cymbals, which was trying to mix the two, but ended up making a murp. "Ha ha, murp, murp!" the murp said giggling. "GLURT!" Torts cried in despair. "SCORPI!" Hoogi and Footi cried as well. "They didn't make a mix!" Glomp said. "THEY MADE A MURP!" Footi said, rubbing his temples, as the murp ran outside. "We have to stop that Murp!" Flain declared, pointing at the door the murp ran through. "Right, or it'll slice and slime all of Equestria!" Glomp said. "Worst of all, Scorpi will miss our nightly nuzzle wuzzle time!" Hoogi said sadly. "Hoogi it will be fine, as long as we listen to our hearts, yes we must listen to our ever loving hearts, and my heart says, 'to save our friends, we must mix'em to get'em," Footi said, presenting Torts with a tan and green cubit. And soon, they mixed into what looked more like Footi, with a propellers made from Torts' hands and two of Footie's toes, as her flew off to find the murp, with the other Mixels, and the happy family in hot pursuit. Once outside, they could see that most of the ponies of Ponyville were encased in slime, and some of the shrubbery was sliced. They could see the murp on a nearby hill and the Footi and Torts mix flying over to capture it. "Hang on little buddies, I'll save you!" the mix said as he went to the rescue. The murp couldn't notice the mix, and just started to bounce all over the place. Watching as the mix went to catch the murp, Magnifo hatched a brilliant idea, "I have an idea! For the plan to work, I need two assistant tribes, as well as my fellow Wiztastics to help me set up a trap on the outskirts of town," he explained, which Viynal and Musica hesitantly raised their hands, "GREAT! Now if someone will direct us to the outskirts of town, we can get to work," Magnifo said, looking around at the ponies and humans. "I could take you there, if that's ok?" Fluttershy asked. "That would be appreciated, thank you," Magnifo said, as he and his fellow Mixels followed the butter yellow pony and her two children. "Ok, so while they're doing that, we should try to catch the murp ourselves, and I suggest we max!" Flain said, presenting an all red cubit to his fellow Infernite Mixels. As soon as they all touched the cubit, it turned into a giant muscular hand, which grabbed the Infernites, and started to beat them together. After a few seconds, the Infernites maxed out into a large red dragon creature, which proceeded to follow the mix to catch the murp. "Flain has the right idea," Gobba said, presenting a cubit to the other Fang Gang Mixels. "YEAH, YEAH! Cubit!" Krader said, giving Seismo and Shuff a cubit as well. The other tribes all maxed out as well, and went to help the chase. Back with Fluttershy, Making their way to the outskirts of Ponyville, Fluttershy lead the Wiztastics, the Rockettes, and the Electoons to an open field, big enough to the approval of Magnifo, "This is perfect! Thank you for bringing us," Magnifo said, looking at the butter yellow Pegasus. "Oh, uh, you're welcome," Fluttershy said shyly. "So, would you like to fill us in on your plan?" Dee-Gee asked the Wiztastics leader. "Ah yes, my plan is to have both volunteer tribes stage a battle of the bands to lure the murp here, where we can take over, now for a stage, abra-ka-waka-doodle!" Magnifo explained, as he used his wands to summon a stage, perfect for a battle of the bands. "Those were the strangest magic words I have ever heard," Toby commented. "Well, its how I can preform tricks," Magnifo explained. "So, we can finally try to settle our little feud, once and for all, eh Musica?" Viynal teasingly asked, which enraged Musica. "Yeah, and we can finally prove that the Rockettes are the best!" Musica said, fake smiling, while she and the other Rockettes glared viciously at the Electoons, who glared back. "Are they always like this?" Fluttershy asked the Wiztastics. "Unfortunately, they are," Mesmo said, not even flinching at the glares the girls were giving each other. Walking over to the Mixel he thought was Wizwuz, Toby knelt down to talk to him, "Uh, you're Wizwuz, right?" Toby asked the wizards assistant. "That's right," Wizwuz replied happily. "Ok, do you know why Mesmo seems, you know, depressed?" Toby asked, trying to find the least insulting word possible. "Oh, well, Mesmo may be a Wiztastic like me and Magnifo, but unlike us, he lacks showmanship, so that might be the reason," Wizwuz replied, giving the best of his knowledge, which Toby nodded in understanding. "Alright girls, take your places," Magnifo asked nervously, which the girls all nodded in understanding, but were cursing each other on the inside, as they took their positions with their respective instruments, and the Rockettes started to play first. Their song was a regular rock n' roll song, with Superstar playing her guitar and Pinkie Crash pounding at her drums, while Musica was singing the lyrics. After a few minutes, Musica was about to give Viynal and the Electoons the right of way, when she saw another human walking towards them, with two strange creatures with him. "What's all this ruckus?" the new human asked, just then noticing the Mixels, "Oh, are these new friends of yours?" he asked, looking at the new strange creatures. "Oh, hi Will, we're just trying to lure something here," Toby explained, "And yes, they are our new friends, called Mixels," he explained further. "Who's that guy?" Magnifo asked Fluttershy. "That's Will, and those two creatures that's with him are Pokemon, creatures that inhabited the earth he came from," Fluttershy explained. "So, what are you all trying to catch? Maybe I can help?" Will asked the group. "We're trying to lure a murp here using music," Magnifo explained. "Maybe we can do with some eyes in the sky," Will suggested, tossing three Pokeballs and releasing his Charizard, Honchkrow, and Dragonite," All right guys, we need to look for something called a murp," Will said, which confused his Pokemon, "What is a murp anyway, and what does it look like?" Will asked. Magnifo was about to reply, when the murp came and started running around like crazy. Will turned to see the others and more Mixels chasing the murp. "That would be the murp," Magnifo replied, pointing towards the small hound like creature, as it climbed the scaffolding. "There it goes!" Twilight said, pointing to the ladder, as she, and all her friends climbed up to chase the murp. "Murp, murp!" the murp giggled. "Oh no, what do we do?!" Hoogi asked in distress. "I don't know, we're all out of..." Glomp said before being cut off when they all heard someone clearing his throat, and turned to see Mesmo. "I have a cubit," Mesmo said, presenting a rainbow cubit. "Well, aren't you the helpful Mixel," Torts happily said, as he placed one of his hands on the cubit. "Mix!" the two Mixels said, as they combined into a mix that looked like Torts with a wizards hat and Mesmo's wings taking the place of his arms. "YAY, YAY!" the new mix said as he went to capture the murp, who was jumping from scaffolding to scaffolding. The mix then whipped the goo on his hat, and flung it at the murp in a net like trap. "Excellent! You guys caught our murp!" Footi said happily. "So, what now?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Leave that to me!" they all looked down to see Magnifo looking up at them, "Here we go, the most magical, magic trick ever! Abra-kawaka- DOODLE!" he said, waving his wand over a hat he conveniently has. Once he cast the spell, it shot a geyser of magic energy, which, unfortunately for the other Mixels and ponies, affected the scaffolding they were standing on, and they all plummeted to the ground below, and into the geyser of magic from Magnifo's hat. Once they passed through, Scorpi and Glurt reverted back to their original forms, with the others are all in a acrobatic pyramid formation. "That was amazing!" Toby exclaimed with wonder. "I've never seen anything so spectacular!" Fluttershy exclaimed as well. "I-I loved it!" Serenity quietly exclaimed as she, and her mother and brother all clapped their hooves and hands. Magnifo's lip was quivering happily at their applause, "Applause, the thunderous roar of applause! I did it! I did it! I did it! I did it! I'm spectacular!" he exclaimed happily, not noticing that the pyramid was shaking, and all the Mixels and ponies fell on him. "Dagnabit!" he quietly said, as he helped his friends all back on their feet and hooves. Twilight was about to say something, when she saw Spike running towards them with a scroll. "Message from the princesses!" he said, panting hard. As he looked up, he took notice of the Mixels, "Oh, who are these guys, new friends?" he asked his mother. "Yes, and they're know as Mixels," Twilight replied, smiling warmly at her draconic son, as she unrolled the scroll. After reading it, she gasped in surprise. "What is it Twilight?" Nyx asked her mother. "Apparently, what happened in Ponyville has reached the ears of Celestia and Luna, and they wish for us to investigate what caused it," Twilight replied. "I take it that Celestia and Luna are Princesses as well?" Zorch asked. "Yes, but we already have taken care of it, so we should send a letter back, letting her know that the situation is under control," Twilight replied, looking at Spike, who was already writing a letter. "May I take a look at that letter you wrote Spike?" Twilight asked her son. "Sure thing Mom!" Spike said, giving Twilight the letter, which said, Dear Princesses Celestia and Luna, in regards to your previous letter, we have already taken care of the situation, and we have made new friends that go by the species of Mixels. The cause for the situation in Ponyville was caused by a murp, which is what happens to Mixels when a mix goes horribly wrong, but as I said before, the situation has been taken care of, but if you wish to meet with them, then we are waiting for you in my castle, your faithful student and fellow princess, Twilight Sparkle. "It sounds good, now go ahead and send it," Twilight said, returning the letter to Spike, who breathed a green flame on the letter, which spooked Scorpi, and had him on Hoogi's head. "You know, if you wanted to burn the letter, I would've done it," Flain said. "Oh heavens no, the fire that Spike breathes has magic properties, which can help send letters to and from Celestia," Twilight explained, which Flain nodded in understanding. After a few seconds, Spike belched a green flame, and out of that flame popped a letter. Scorpi once again screamed, and then grabbed onto Footi's leg. "Uh, is Scorpi all right?" Twilight asked. "Oh yeah, Scorpi is super cute, and super skittish," Footi replied, which Twilight nodded in understanding, as she went to read the letter, which made her gasp in surprise, "What is it?" Footi asked the lavender alicorn. "The letter says that they'll be arriving in an hour, so we better get back to the castle to greet them," Twilight said, leading the group to her castle. "You guys go on ahead, I've got to get back to the ranch," Will said, giving his farewell to the group as he went back to his ranch. While walking, Kelly noticed that Lunk was trailing very far behind, "Hold on guys, we left Lunk behind!" she said, grabbing the groups attention as they all turned to see Lunk slowly making his way towards them. "Don't wait for me guys," Lunk said to the group. "No can do Lunk, we never leave a friend behind!" Balk said, presenting a cubit to Lunk. "MIX!" the two said, turning into a mix that looked more like Lunk, with armor made from Balks head, "Ok, now I can make it to the castle in time!" the mix said, stretching one of Balks moustaches towards a nearby tree, and propelling forward, with the group following in pursuit. > Chapter 3: Meeting the Princesses and a deadly alliance (edited) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- After some walking, the ponies, humans, and the Mixels all arrived at the castle, to see that Balk and Lunks mix had ended, "Ok, we have at least half an hour before Celestia and Luna arrive, so until then, we can all just mingle," Twilight said, leading the group inside the castle. Toby was about to follow his friends and family when he heard someone trotting towards him, "Oh, sweetie pie!" Toby smiled when he heard his fillyfriends voice call to him, and turned to see her, along with the other fillies following, "Hey sweetie pie, didn't you hear about what happened?" the gray filly asked her human coltfriend. "About a dog like creature causing havoc in Ponyville?" Toby asked. Silver Spoon gasped at how he was able to guess so accurately, "Yes, how did you know?" Silver Spoon asked, quirking an eyebrow in confusion. "Well, lets just say that was a bit of a murp that some new friends caused by accident," Toby explained. "What's a murp?" Diamond Tiara asked. "I think it would be easier to let our new friends explain, they're all inside," Toby said, just noticing Lunk was only halfway through the door, "Except for Lunk, that is," Toby deadpanned, as he watched the Frosticon slowly making his way to the throne room. "Who and what is that?" Silver Spoon asked. "That's Lunk, he's a Frosticon Mixel, and one our newest friends," Toby replied. "What's a Mixel?" Dinky asked. "They're colorful creatures that can combine to make mixes, maxes, or murps, like the one that caused havoc throughout Ponyville, using tools called cubits," Toby replied. "Who are these ponies?" Lunk asked, looking at the young human and his friends. "These are Diamond Tiara, Dinky Hooves, and my fillyfriend, Silver Spoon, and my big sisters, Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo," Toby replied, looking up at the tallest Frosticon, as he and the fillies followed Lunk to the throne room. Once at the throne room, the fillies were surprised to see more Mixels. "Wow!" was all the fillies were able to say. The Mixels then took notice of the fillies. "I was wondering where you were Sweetie Belle," Rarity said, looking at the smaller unicorn filly. "We were all at Sugarcube Corner having some after school snacks, when this weird dog like creature came and started sliming all of Ponyville, so we stayed inside of Sugarcube Corner until we thought it was safe," Sweetie Belle reassured her seamstress sister. "Then we heard what sounded like rock concert coming from somewhere near Wills ranch," Scootaloo added on. "And after a while, we all decided to see if Twilight was doing something about what was going on," Applebloom said.. "And that's when we saw Toby following Lunk inside the castle," Silver Spoon concluded, looking at her coltfriend and the Frosticon. Just then, they all heard knocking coming from the front door. "Oh, that must be Celestia and Luna!" Twilight said, trotting towards the door. Once at the door, she opened it to reveal the regal sisters and their sons, "Hello Celestia, Luna, boys," Twilight said with a bow. "It is good to see you again as well Twilight, and I got your letter about these 'Mixels' and the 'Murp' that wreaked havoc in Ponyville," Celestia said, smiling at her number one student and fellow Princess. "If we may ask, can you take us to these 'Mixels'?" Luna asked the lavender alicorn. "Right this way please," Twilight said, leading them into her castle. Once they entered the throne room, the other alicorns and their sons all gasped at the creatures that stood before them. Noticing the new alicorns, the leaders of each tribe then walked over to them, and bowed their heads respectfully, "You must be Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, Twilight told us about you. Any way, my name is Flain, I'm the leader of the Infernites," Flain said, looking up at the regal sisters. "That's right, and you all must be the Mixels that Twilight told us about in her letter," Celesta said, looking down at the red Mixel. "We are, and we're the leaders of our own individual tribes," Teslo said, looking at the white Alicorn. "Well, with that little mishap with that 'murp', the ponies might think you're all here to invade our land, but we can see that you all mean no harm," Luna said, pointing out a possible fact. "Well, we're not here to cause anyone trouble, we just came to find out where Krader disappeared to," Gobba said, placing a hand on his Cragster friends shoulder. "Well, it doesn't matter what the reason is, you may have caused a panic among the ponies, but we should try to show them that you came to Equestria in peace," Celestia said. "I know! The annual Mix festival is coming up, maybe if we send invites to the ponies of Ponyville, we may be able to *bzzt* show them that we're all fun loving guys!" Teslo suggested. "Are you ok?" Drake asked the Electroid leader. "He's fine, Electroids have a tendency to shock themselves, unfortunately," Musica said, giving her boyfriend a sad smile. "Ok, so what pray tell is the Mix festival?" Celestia asked. "Its where we celebrate the rad, totally awesome power of the cubit," Flain said, holding up a cubit. "Ok, so, since Ponyville was the only place that was affected by the 'murp', we should invite the citizens of Ponyville to the Mix festival, if its ok with all of you?" Celestia asked. "Oh yeah, the more the merrier I say," Kraw said, smiling at the white alicorn. "Very well, then we shall tell everyone in Ponyville to come to the Mix festival once its time. But before we go, when will the Mix festival be?" Luna asked. "It will be this Saturday, at noon," Tobus said, looking at the blue alicorn, which she, along with her children, sister, and nephew all nodded in understanding, and left the castle to seek the mayor. Meanwhile, in some sort of white no space, "BAH! Where are those miserable Mixels?!" snapped a large black, rectangular creature with a white circular face with a moustache, and army applets and a medal. "NIX! NIX!" said a smaller square creature with a white face as well. "BAH! You Nixels are hopeless!" the larger one said. "Your minions may be useless alone, but what if they had some aid?" asked a sinister voice. The large creature turned to the source of the voice, and saw a large black horse bug hybrid creature, with a red mane and tail. and it had holes all over its body. "And just who are you?!" the large creature asked. "Please, forgive my unannounced intrusion, my name is Mephestio, king of the Ragelings," the bug pony said, extending a hoof to the large black creature. "Well I'm Major Nixel, and while its nice to meet you and all, but why are you here?" the Nixel Major asked, quirking an eyebrow. "I'm here to ask for you aid in rescuing my little sister, Chrysalis, from the clutches of the ponies of Equestria. Apparently, a creature by the species name of human has tainted her evil heart with friendship, something that we Changelings can live without, because we only seek power," Mephestio said, giving the major a proposition that he could not refuse. "Duh, did you say humans?" they both jumped when they heard a rather dumb sounding tone. They turned to see a large spherical creature with a really pointy nose. "Uh, yeah, why?" Major Nixel asked. "To the gumans, humans are a delicacy, but for some reason, we can never remember what they taste like, so we always attack their cities," the new creature replied, which kind of freaked out the Rageling and the Nixel. "You eat these 'human' creatures?" King Mephestio asked. "Oh yeah, but they tend to be too crafty for us, so we try to find other means of survival," the guman said. "Ok, but who are you?" Major Nixel asked. "Oh, I'm Don Guman, the godfather of the gumans," the don said. "Ok, well a human child tainted the mind of my sister, so I want to try and get back at that wretched little whelp, so I guess I can help you with that," Mephestio said, gritting his teeth. "Well, I'd love to help you guys with your quests and all, but right now, I have plans of my own, and they involve stealing cubits from my mortal enemies, the Mixels!" Major Nixel said, clenching his fist. "Well, funny you should mention that. One of my scouts in Ponyville saw various large creatures in that town, but what if they never expect an attack from something not Nixel?" Mephestio asked. "Something not Nixel, eh? Boys, I smell the makings of a brand new alliance!" Major Nixel said, cackling evilly, along with the Rageling king and the Godfather Guman. > Chapter 4: The quest for rainbow cubits (edited) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The next few days came and went, and the day of the annual Mix festival was today. Every Mixel tribe was there, along with the ponies of Ponyville, and the young human children of Equestria. Everyone in attendance was dancing to the music provided by the DJ Musicians, Vulk, and Vinyl Scratch. While scratching some records in the turntables, Vulk tossed a red and yellow cubit in the air, which was caught by Flain and Teslo, "MIX!" the two leaders yelled, as the cubit turned into a bunch of balloons, and as soon as they all burst, there, floating down with a jet of fire, was a mix that looked more like Teslo. Everyone was cheering at the mix, as he took his tail like a microphone, "Welcome Mixel dudes and dudettes, to the annual Mixel Mix Festival, where we celebrate the totally rad, super awesome power, of the cubit!" the mix said in Flains voice, which everyone all cheered, "And this Mix Festival is going to be even more rad than last year, because we have new friends from the distant land of Equestria!" the mix said, looking at the ponies and humans, who all smiled and waved to the others, "Great moves out there, and nice Hamlonga sandwich eating there Zaptor," the mix said, looking at the refreshment table where Zaptor stood. "I'm not eating Hamlonga sandwiches," Zaptor said, slowly reaching for a sandwich, and quickly eating it. Everyone looked at him with unimpressed looks, "What's Hamlonga?" Trinity asked. "You know how humans are omnivores, right?" Kelly asked her sister, who nodded, "Well, Hamlonga sounds like a mix of two different lunch meats we humans usually eat, ham and bologna," Kelly explained. "Yeah, anyway, let the mixing begin!" the mix said, tossing cubits to the other Mixels, who began to mix. No one at the party noticed a large metal cloud with propellers flying overhead. Inside was the deadly alliance, all standing next to a Nixel, who was running on a band that was providing the altitude for the whole aircraft, "DOWN PERISCOPE!" Major Nixel ordered, which the Nixel did by cranking the handles on a small box which lowered a periscope. Looking into it, Major Nixel could see the alliances targets, all in one place, "The annual Mix festival!" Major Nixel said sinisterly. Back at the refreshment table, Zaptor was still standing by the Hamlonga sandwich bowl, when a mix of Gobba and Kraw came dancing past him. Checking to make sure no one was watching, he quickly ate the last of the sandwiches. Just then, he noticed his friends, Teslo and Volectro coming over to the table, "This years festival is crazy!" Volectro commented, as he and Teslo neared the table. "Yeah, lets eat some..." Teslo said, before seeing all the sandwiches were gone. "HEY! Where'd all the Hamlonga sandwiches go?!" the two Electroids asked, seeing only empty plates. "I don't know!" Zaptor said, trying to sound innocent, but his friends weren't buying it. "EVERONE!" Teslo called. "LISTEN UP!" Volectro called as well, gaining the attention of the attendees, "It seems Zaptor has eaten all the Hamlonga sandwiches, and ruined the Mixing festival!" Volectro yelled. Zaptor looked down, feeling guilty for not saving a sandwich for anyone. The attendees all looked on at the three, "OH HOO, HOO, Harsh!" Shuff said. "Therefore I, Teslo, leader of the Electroids, request the assistance of the other tribal leaders in a quest to save the Mixing Festival... we need to go a Hamlonga sandwich run, and if the human kids want, they can come and help us, if its ok with their parents?" Teslo asked. And with a nod of approval from their parents, Flain, Krader, Gobba, Flurr, Kraw, Glomp, Scorpi, Magnifo, Tobus, Swayla, Musica, Viynal, and Sonia led the humans to go and get more Hamlonga sandwiches. "PREPARE THE MEGA NIXEL MIXEL NIXER! Be brave my Nixels, be brave!" Major Nixel said, as the Nixels were all packed into a bomb, which was then dropped on the festival, completely draining the color from everything, the Mixels and the ponies, all turning them into zombified Mixels and ponies. The big metal cloud touched down, and a door opened to reveal the leaders of the deadly alliance, "Ahahahaha, we have nixed the Mixel festival! Thank you some incredibly annoying and forgettable Nixels/Ragelings/Gumans. This land is our land!" they all rang in unison. "Alright dudes and dudettes, get your Hamlonga..." Flain cut himself off when he and the other saw what has happened. "What happened here?" Flurr asked. "LOOK! Its Major Nixel, and Mixing Festival cubits are destroyed!" Gobba said. "And my brother is there as well!" Chrysalis yelled in anger. "And Don Guman as well!" Josh said. "They've nixed the festival!" Kraw said. "And our friends!" Teslo said. "ATTACK!" Krader said, leading the other into battle. "OH NO! MIXELS/HUMANS! ATTACK!" Major Nixel and Don Guman commanded. "Seize my sister!" Mephestio ordered. Once the Mixels, humans, and Changeling saw that they were attacking, they all immediately ran away, with their enemies all chasing them, and the leaders all trying to keep up with their respective minions, "*Pant* Alright, you guys go on ahead!" Mephestio called, as he and his friends tried to catch their breaths. "We're just going to hold back and make cupcakes!" Major Nixel said, trying to catch his breath again. The Mixels, humans, and Chrysalis all ducked inside a cave to hide from the annoying masses of their enemies that were chasing them, until they were gone, "This is the worst Mixel Festival, EVER!" Kraw yelled. "Ok, its bad, all cubits were destroyed at the festival, but by a slim chance, does anyone have a cubit on them?" Flurr asked. The leaders all checked their pockets to see if they had any cubits. "I'VE GOT ONE!" Gobba said, holding up a brown and orange cubit. "But one ain't gonna do it," Teslo pointed out, which everyone lowered their heads in despair. "Wait! Big-big rainbow cubit top Mixel Mountain! We hit rainbow cubit, rainbow cubit rain beautiful colors and cubits! Big-big rainbow cubit save Mixel land, big-big time!" Krader said, which lifted everyone's spirits. Looking outside the cave, everyone checked to see if the coast was clear, "Its cool," Flain assured his friends. "TO MIXEL MOUNTAIN!" everyone said, running to mountain, not noticing that the Nixels, Gumans, and Ragelings were all eavesdropping. After awhile of running, the group finally made it to their destination, "MIXEL MOUNTAIN!" they all yelled. "I'm scared!" Teslo said, cowering at how high the mountain was. "I pictured Mixel Mountain to be a lot more welcoming than that," Cory deadpanned. "Lets use the cubit!" Gobba suggested. "Nah, lets save that puppy for an emergency," Flain told the Fang Gang leader, as he, along with the other went to start climbing the mountain. "You know kids, this is going to be dangerous, maybe you should sit this out," Swayla said to the humans. "No can do," Silver said. "If gumans are involved, then talking a human out of an adventure is more possible said than done," Crystal said. "Very well, now lets go get us some rainbow cubits!" Flurr said. None of them noticed the armies of their enemies following them. While climbing the mountain, Gobba was wondering if the trek up the side of the mountain was enough to use the cubit, "Can we use the cubit now?" Gobba asked. "Not yet Gobba," Kraw replied. Next, they were shimming across a ledge, "Should we use the cubit now?" Gobba asked. "NO, NO GOBBA!" Krader replied. After some more climbing, they finally reached the summit, and everyone was amazed at the giant rainbow cubit. Just then, a storm of Nixel, Gumans, and Ragelings all erupted from behind the cubit, "Alright man, now's a good time for the cubit!" Flain said. "The cubit? Hehehe, I used it a long time ago!" Gobba cheerfully replied. "WHAT, WITH WHO?!" everyone asked. "Yeah, with who?!" Kraw asked. "With you silly, don't you remember?" Gobba asked. Flashback As the Mixels and the humans along with Chrysalis were working their way around a corner, Kraw was the last one around the corner, following Gobba, "Gosh, I'm bored!" Kraw said. "I've got a cubit!" Gobba said, which Kraw smiled at. They mixed and the mix was doing a hula dance. Kraw just stood there, trying to think of what Gobba meant, "Oh yeah!" Kraw said, as he and Gobba shared a chuckle. The Nixels, Gumans, and Ragelings all covered up the giant cubit, so that none of them could get any cubits. "What do we do?! WHAT DO WE DO?!" Kraw asked, with his eyes becoming bloodshot. "IDINGY!" Krader exclaimed, knocking Kraw away by accident, "Go under, smash big cubits to get small cubits!" Krader said, as he began drilling a hole, which the Mixel leaders all followed after him. They tunneled underneath the giant cubit to smash it from below, "SMASH!" Krader said, as he and the other ran into the cubit, which blew away the blockade. Each of the leaders then grabbed a hold of a cubit, which they mixed right away. The Gobba/Flain mix breathed fire on the annoying antagonists, the Krader/Kraw mix grabbed some by his moustache, and started beating on the enemies, Flurr/Teslo mix flew over, and shocked some more, the Tobus/Glomp mix lassoed them with some goo, and punched them away, the Scorpi/Sonia mix ran all around them, and sliced them with spikes, the Swayla/Musica mix flung record discs at them, like shurikens, and the Magnifo/Viynal mix were blasting them with a loud, magical electrical music blast. Once they drove their enemies off, colors began to fall all across Mixel land, returning everyone at the festival back to their old, colorful, and full of life selves again. Humming to themselves, the leaders of deadly alliance set some plates with cupcakes down on a table, "Perfect cupcakes!" the all sang in unison. "Mm, cupcakes!" the Gobba/Flain mix said, popping one into his mouth, "But to be honest, something's missing," he flatly said. "What could be missing from our perfect cupcakes?!" Major Nixel asked. "YOUR FACES!" the mix replied, smashing the cupcakes on their faces. "BAH! YOU MISERABLE MIXELS!" Major Nixel yelled. "We'll get all of ya!" Don Guman said, before the three of them tripped, which everyone laughed at them for, provoking them to run away, crying at their embarrassment. "Put the cubits in place!" the Gobba/Flain mix ordered, which was quickly done. "Mixing Festival begin-begin!" the leaders said, as they continued the celebration with their friends. > Chapter 5: Infernite Camping > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- High up in the mountains, three new Infernites were hiking to find a good place for some camping, "Ok, this looks like the perfect place to pitch our tents," the Cyclops Infernite said. He appeared to have multiple legs and a tail. "We didn't bring any tents!" another Infernite said happily. He appeared humanoid in shape with large rings around his eyes. "YOU DIDN'T BRING TENTS?! ON A CAMPING TRIP!? What did you mix monkeys bring? Sleeping bags?" the first Infernite asked. "Nope," the humanoid Infernite replied. "Beans and Bacon? Trail Mix?" "Nuh-uh," "Board games? S'mores? Fudge Brownies? Moist towelettes?" "We brought an ICE CUBE!" the humanoid Infernite replied, holding up an ice cube, before dropping it, "We'll have a cozy camp cube!" "And chill weenie burgers!" the third Infernite said. This one was more reptilian in structure. "And freeze mix-mallows!" the ring eyed Mixel exclaimed. "Well, if that's how you handle a camp cube, then you've got a lot to learn about camping!" the first Infernite said. Later, "Nothing like a cold camp cube on a starry night, eh guys?" Flamezer asked. "Ok, this weeny burger's almost frozen," Meltus said, before sneezing fire at his snack. Just then, Burnard place his hand on the ice cube, "AHHHHH!" he screamed in agony at how cold it was. "Ya murp monkey, don't you know you're not supposed to play with ice cubes? You could start a forest freeze!" Flamezer said, putting on a rangers hat, "Now remember camper, 'SAFETY FIRST'!" he said, breathing fire at his marshmallows, before looking down in annoyance. Meltus sneezed again, this time, at their ice cube, "Need ice! I get!" Burnard said, retrieving a canister of liquid ice, "I got!" he said, pouring the liquid on the ice cube, which caused everything to start getting coated in ice. "HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIXELS?!" Flamezer yelled, confiscating the canister from Burnard, "Give me that before you start a wild forest freeze!" he said, as he started to become trapped in ice. "HE'S FROZEN!" Meltus cried. "Get your flame on! We need to stop this freeze! I'll find some cubits!" Burnard ordered, as he ran to retrieve some cubits. "Hurry! The ice is spreading!" Meltus cried, as the ice continued to spread. Burnard reached their cooler, and started digging through it until he came across three red cubits, and ran back to Meltus, "Alright, lets mix!" Burnard said, as they touched one cubit, but made a murp instead. "Hmm, not like!" the murp said, "Lets try again!" the murp said, as it touched another cubit, which made another murp. "I don't think so!" the second murp said. "Please, help me!" Flamezer pleaded, as the murp touched the last cubit, and made an actual mix, which went straight to work, melting the ice. The mix split back into Meltus and Burnard, in front of a very annoyed Flamezer, "Boy, you've got a lot to learn about camping!" he said, as Meltus just sneezed some fire, and Burnard just chuckled. After the incident with the camp cube, the Infernites were all sitting around the ice cube just like before, "Now that's what I call a cozy camp cube," Flamezer commented. "It gives me the shivers," Meltus said, as he sneezed fire again. "I can't feel my feet!" Burnard exclaimed. "Yes sir, there's nothing better than a frosty mix mallow," Flamezer said, as he ate his treat. However, the brothers didn't know that some rather annoying enemies were watching them, all saying "Nix" "Guman" or "Rage". "Did you here that?" Meltus asked, "There must be someone out there!" he said fearfully. Up behind the ridge, a Nixel shushed his comrades, and started hooting, which the others did as well, "Oh that's nothing to be afraid of, its just a couple of hoot noodles, doodling at the moon," Flamezer said, as he and his friends looked at the moon, which looked rather peculiar, "Whoa, check out that crazy moon!" he said. "I've never seen a moon look so big!" Burnard said, with a chuckle. "It reminds me of a dream I once had," Flamezer commented. "I smell a camp cube story!" Burnard said. "Yeah, a scary camp cube story!" Meltus said. "Alright, where do I begin? It was a night, just like tonight, and the moon was acting weird, I mean, REALLY WIERD!" Flamezer said, beginning his tale, "We were all walking with the other tribes, just minding out our business, when we got the strangest sensation that we were being watched, we turned around, and it was the moon!" Flamezer said, as the flashback Mixels ran away from the moon. "That's messed up," Burnard commented. "Seriously," Meltus added. "And that's when things got really weird!" Flamezer said, as everything turned black and white, 'Now, where was I?' he asked himself. "You were talking about the moon, dummy!" Story Flamezer said. "Oh, yeah. It got all freaky on us, invading our personal space," Flamezer said in a monologue. "Its an space invasion guys! Run for it!" Flamezer said, as he, his Infernite brothers, and the other tribes ran from the moon, as it began to give chase, with a few Nixels, Gumans, and Ragelings in pursuit. "So we ran for our lives! Not long after, we ran across a couple strange creatures. One group had the appearance of some sort of hairless apes, and the other group were all some sort of quadruped creature. Two of the four legged creatures had flowing hair. Any way, the moon turned into some sort of space ship, that grabbed us all up," Flamezer said in another monologue. "We're goners guys!" story Flamezer said, as the ship began to take off, with the Nixels, Gumans, and Ragelings latching onto the legs. We were trapped on board the alien space craft, as set a new course! Flamezer said, as the spaceship flew to the moon, just outside a future style city, encased in a large dome. Once it set down, it let out the prisoners, and kicked them towards the dome. "Nice kick!" Burnard commented, as they hit the dome, and slid down to the surface, where three unknown Mixels were floating. They were all a pale green, with white highlights. "WELCOME TO THE MOON, INFERIOR PLANETOIDS!" the three Mixels yelled, as the Mixel with red rods on his wrists fired some shots into the air. "It was then when we knew we were in a tight spot," Flamezer said. > Chapter 6: Meet the Moon Mixels > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "WE'VE BEEN...!" a third of the abductees started. "ABDUCTED...!" the second third continued. "BY MOON MEN!" the last third said. "No choice! We have to use the cubit!" Flamezer said, presenting a red cubit. "Don't you think that's a little bit drastic?" Meltus asked. "I agree, a weapon is a bit over the top," the lavender alicorn said. "TAKE IT!" Flamezer yelled, as Burnard and Meltus took a hold of the cubit, as a huge rolling pin came from over the hill, and flattened them, mixing them into giant Cyclops creature. "Ha, is he threatening us?" one of the moon Mixels asked. He had a sort of Elvis style hairdo. "MIX!" The three Mixels yelled, as they touched the cubit. They were slammed together by a solar system model, which turned them in a giant dinosaur creature. "OH YEAH!" the max yelled, as it flew into the air with the Cyclops creature. "The battle was on! We were going head to head in a maxed out confrontation, when something strange happened," Flamezer said in his monologue, as the maxes were first battling, which turned into ballroom dancing. "Hey, you're not as inferior as we thought, planetoid," the alien max said in the voice of an old man. "And you're not bad yourself moon doogy!" the Infernite max said. "LETS BE FRIENDS!" the two maxes yelled, as they landed in front of the others, as they separated into the six previous Mixels. "We are the Orbitons! This is Niksput," the shortest of the three moon Mixels said. "Sup," Niksput said. "This is Rokit," the short one said, motioning towards the one with red rods. "Ten hut!" Rokit said, saluting. "And I am Nurp," the short one got cut off when his head started to turn, revealing two eyes, "Naut!" the other half said in the voice of a baby. "Flamezer here," Flamezer said. "Flain," Flain said. "Burnard," "Zorch," "Vulk," "And I'm Meltus. We're the In-in ACHOO! Infernites," Meltus said, wiping his nose. "We're the Electroids! I'm Teslo, and these are my friends, Zaptor and Volectro," Teslo said. "We Cragsters! Seismo, Shuff, and me Krader!" Krader said. "We're the Fang Gang, this is Chomely and Jawg, and I'm the leader, Gobba," Gobba said. "We're the Rockettes! I'm Musica, and these two are my BFF's, Superstar and Pinkie Crash," Musica said. "We're the Flexers, my friends, Tenetro, Balk, and me, Kraw," Kraw said. "We're the Electoons, Rocky, Dee-Gee, and I'm Viynal," Viynal said. "My name's Flurr, leader of the Frosticons, and my pals, Slumbo and Lunk," Flurr said. "We're the Fighters! I'm Tobus, and these two are Sando and Madin," Tobus said. "We're the Glorp Corp. I'm Glomp, and these are my friends, Torts and Glurt," "We're the Spikels! This is Hoogi, and I'm Footi, and his little guy is Scorpi, our leader," Footi said. "I'm Magnifo, leader of the Wiztastics, along with my assistants, Mesmo and Wizwuz," "And we're the Charmings! I'm Sakura, and these two are Robbin and Sweetie!" said a bright pink Mixel with red hair. "Were' the Supersonics, I'm Sonia, and these two are Dash and Speedy," "And what of those guys?" Niksput asked, pointing at the ponies and humans. "We're ponies, I'm Princess Twilight Sparkle, and these are my friends, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity, and our children, Trinity, Nyx, Serenity, Vibrant, Lucky, Crystal Charity, Season Harvest, and Bolt," Twilight said. "And I am Princess Celestia, and this is my sister, Luna," Celestia said. "And we're humans! I'm Cory, and these are my brother and sisters, Joshua, Crystal, and Kelly," Cory said. "I'm Toby!" Toby said cheerfully. "I'm Conner," Conner said. "I'm Melody, and this is my sister Clover," Melody said. "I'm Mike," Mike said. "And I'm Echo," Echo said. "Turns out the moon Mixels were friendly after all," Flamezer said, as his told his story. After introductions, the Orbitons decided to show their guests around their home, "And this is the grand atrium of our fantastic moon base! That dome is the only thing that stands between us and the hideous vacuum of space!" Naut said, as he showed the guests around. "Uh, weren't we just walking outside?" Flamezer asked. Naut then glared at Flamezer in annoyance, "Eh, sorry," he quickly said. "That dome is indestructible! Nothing in great wide cosmos can penetrate it!" Naut said, switching to Nurp, "Uh oh, Naut told a fib!" he said, switching back to Naut, "Quiet you!" Naut argued, switching back to Nurp, "Naughty Naut! No fib!" Nurp scolded, switching back to Naut, "Alright already! There's a slight flaw in the design," Naut admitted. "Yep, fragile as an eggshell!" Rokit said. "We're working on it!" Naut said. "Boring!" Niksput commented, turning to Burnard and Rainbow Dash, "So, you guys know any good tricks?" he asked. "I have one, but it be best not to use it, especially with what Rokit just said," Rainbow replied. "Yeah, tricks," Burnard said, as he stuck his finger in his mouth, and blew, making fire come out his ears, which caught the Orbiton and pony off guard. Burnard pointed upward, which Niksput flew up. Burnard then grabbed hold of the smoke the fire made, and used them to lasso Niksput back down. "Ha, impressive," he commented. "And that's all that there is to see here," Naut said, switching to Nurp, "Nurp um-tum, all bubbly-wobbly. Nurp want crater tots!" Nurp said, switching back to Naut, "Not now Nurp, I'm talking," Naut said, switching back to Nurp, "Nurp want crater tots, NOW!" Nurp said, switching back to Naut, "What Nurp needs is a nap-nap!" Naut said, switching to Nurp, "NO NAP-NAP!" Nurp said in a demonic voice. "Whoa," was all Flamezer could say, as he carefully approached Nurp, who looked like he was going to go loose it, "Uh, you know, maybe nap-nap is a good idea Nurp," Flamezer said, but Nurp wasn't having it, as he started throwing a tantrum. "CRATER TOTS!" he yelled, as the shockwave of his tantrum made some oxygen tanks fly up. "Oh my Schmixel!" Flamezer said, as the tanks flew closer and closer to the dome, much to Flamezer's dismay, "Those thingies are going to smash the dome! I'll deal with the baby, you have to stop them!" Flamezer said. "Don't sweat it bro, we got this! C'mon buddy," Niksput reassured, as he grabbed Burnard, and flew over to a glass case that said, "In case of Emergency". Niksput then grabbed a near by mallets, and smashed the case, and pulled out a green and red cubit, "Now lets mix!" Niksput said, as he and Burnard touched the cubit, and made a Mix that looked more like Niksput, "Nice mix, right?" the mix said to no one in particular, as he flew off to stop the oxygen tanks. He then breathed a ring of fire, which turned into smoke, which he grabbed like a lasso, and tossed it at the tanks, "ALLY-OOP!" he cried, as the lassos caught two of the tanks, but the third one slipped away. "OH, NO NO NO!" Naut cried in distress, as the tank gently tapped the dome, which cracked, causing Naut, Flamezer, Rarity, and Toby to gasp in horror, as Naut switched to Nurp, "I want crater tots, NOW!" Nurp whined, as he threw another tantrum, causing a piece of heavy machinery to float up. "Oh Schmixels, our lives are in your hands!" Flamezer said, turning towards the mix. "I told ya bro, we got this!" the mix said, as he and Rainbow Dash flew up to try to stop the machine from hitting the dome. Luckily, they were able to stop the machine before it hit, which prompted cheers of relief from the others, "No problemo, you can always count on the Orbitons!" the mix said, as he tapped the dome, causing it to crack. "And Rainbow Dash!" Rainbow said, as she tapped the dome as well, also making a crack. Both fractures soon spread across the entire dome, which soon broke, dropping thousands of glass shards. Thankfully, Naut was able to push Flamezer, Rarity, and Toby out of the way, and the three princesses put up shields, protecting the others. "Huh, some much for the hideous vacuum of space," Flamezer commented, as an actual vacuum came, and sucked the moon up. Later, the Orbitons and their guests were all sitting around a picnic ground, "We Orbitons would like to officially welcome our planetoid friends to the moon! Here, try a sampling of my red hot crater tots," Rokit said, as he gave some crater tots to Meltus, Burnard, Conner, and Mike, "Yup, the kind a grub that puts the man in 'Space Man'!" Rokit said, as the two Mixels breathed fire on the other crater tots, while the two boys ran for something to drink. "Hehe, man food," Burnard chuckled. "Oxy-juice, Oxy-Juice!" Nurp said, as Pinkie Pie set a large chocolate cake down, and Applejack sat some apple pies down. "Hehe, treats-treats," Burnard said, as he and the Fang Gang stuffed their faces with the refreshments, as Nurp switched over to Naut. "Whoa boys, slow down before you blow a gasket!" Naut warned, as the four Mixels swallowed their food, "Uh, never mind," he said. However, unbeknownst to our heroes, beneath the surface of the moon, tunneling their way to the barbeque, two Nixels, Gumans, and Ragelings were hoping to stir up trouble for our friends. Surfacing, one of each of the villains could see the party, "New batch of crater tots, hot off the grill!" Rokit called. "Ooh, Carter tots! Tots! Tots!" they said, as the others surfaced, with their comrades on their heads, "Oxy Juice! Juice! Juice!" they said, as they went bellow the ground again. At the party, Meltus was burping firing, "Just a little gas," he said to Nurp, Fluttershy, Toby, and Serenity. "Oxy juice," Nurp said, giving Meltus a pitcher. After drinking the juice, Meltus' head literally popped off, before it fell back on his body. "Aww, thanks pal," Meltus said. "What does the juice taste like?" Toby asked. "Its quite tangy, to be honest," Meltus replied. "Chow time, everybody! Come and get it!" Rokit called, as the Nixels, Gumans, and Ragelings popped out from the ground, and swiped Rockit's crater tots and Nurp's Oxy Juice pitcher, and ran off, "You can run, but you can hide!" Rokit yelled at the fleeing pests. "Lunch go bye-bye," Nurp sadly said. "And I really liked the crater tots," Conner said sadly. "What's a Mixel to do?!" Meltus cried. "We mix!" Burnard replied, as he pulled out two red and green cubits, and gave one to Meltus and Nurp-Naut, while he and Rokit grabbed hold of the other cubit, and the four Mixels combined into two separate Mixes. "We mixed it," the Meltus-Nurp-Naut mix started. "So lets fix it!" The Burnard-Rokit mix said, as both dashed off. Chasing the pests with the Oxy Juice pitcher, the Meltus-Nurp-Naut mix chased the three trouble makers into a ditch where there were all sorts of holes. Breathing fire into one of them, he was able to fish out the three, who quickly retreated back to a cliff, laughing at the mix, before falling on their backs, "Oxy Juice!" the mix cried, as he flew over the trouble makers. They were about to run away, before being stomped on by the Mix, who switched his head, "Juice-Juice! Me miss you!" Nurp's voice said, before lifting his foot, "Bad meanies!" he scolded. The other three trouble makers continued to run away from the mix of Burnard and Rokit, who continuously said "Hop two three four!" the three thieves ran into a valley, where they were soon cornered. With no way out, they decided to eat the crater tots themselves, "Hold it right there!" the mix said, as it approached, "How about a little 'Rokit Sauce' with them crater tots?" the mix offered, holding a bottle of hot sauce. "Uh-huh!" the three thieves replied, as the mix squirted red hot sauce on the plate. As soon as the three ate the crater tots, there was a huge mushroom cloud explosion. Back at the picnic grounds, Rokit was coming back with another plate of Crater tots, "Alright troopers, another batch of crater tots, hot off the grill!" Rokit called, squirting more Rokit Sauce on them, "Any volunteers?" he asked, offering the crater tots, as the three pests who ate the crater tots came back down, still sizzling. "No way dude," Burnard replied. "We'll pass," Naut added. "I'm allergic," Meltus added. "I can't handle hot sauce," Toby replied. "Well, suit yourselves," Rokit said, as he ate the plate of crater tots, including the plate itself. But after some chewing, Rokit's head blew off, and his body fell back. "Is he going to be ok?" Rocky asked. "Don't worry, Rokit is a tough guy," Naut replied. "But his head," Toby stated. "Ah, it'll come down, eventually," Naut replied. > Chapter 7: Here come the Glowkies! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Well, its great to be here on the moon and all, but, why'd you choose us?" Flamezer asked. "We used our superior technology to pluck the first sign of life we could find on you miserable, pathetic planet!" Naut replied, switching to Nurp, "That would be you, puny planetoids," he said, as he, Niksput, and Rokit all laughed. "But we were about to face a more formidable threat, coming from the mysterious dark side of the moon," Flamezer continued with his story, as a dark shadow spread across the moon, and over the friends. "Oh no!" Rokit cried. "Its the darkness!" Niksput added. "The Glowkies will be out!" Nurp said. "Glowkies? Who are they?" Flamezer asked. "Are they friendly?" Rarity asked. "Not quite, they're the stuff nightmares are made out of. Why just the other night I was telling little Nurp here a bed time story when," Rokit replied as everything went into a flash back. A few nights ago, "Alrighty space cadet, night-night," Rokit said, tucking Nurp in for the night. "Tell me a story!" Nurp exclaimed, before switching to Naut, "Tell the kid a story," Naut demanded. "I can't tell him a story, because I already said 'Night-Night'!" Rokit replied, as Naut switched back to Nurp. "Tell me a story! Tell me a story!" Nurp begged. Having enough of Nurp's begging, Rokit gave in, "Alright, I'll tell you a story. Out side the protective high tech walls of Orbitopia, way down below in the deepest darkest caverns, live the terrifying, mythical, GLOWKIES! My Intel doesn't have much on these mysterious Mixels, except that they have huge bulging eyes, hairy insect legs, and razor sharp fangs! End of story!" Rokit said. "Eek! Scary story!" Nurp cried, switching to Naut, "I just made a meteor in my space suit!" Naut commented. "And what's scarier is that these Glowkies are known to pop up any where, at any time!" Rokit added. What the two Orbitons didn't know was that outside Nurp-Naut's bedroom where three dark navy blue Mixels. Two of them were bats, one being a Cyclops with a huge eye, the other being the tallest of the three with long fangs. The third was more beastly looking, and was a Cyclops like the short bat creature, but with a beany. "It's about time we met our Orbiton neighbors," the beany wearing Mixel said. "This is going to be FABULOUS!" the short bat Mixel commented. "Well, lets head on in and say howdy," the tall one said, as the three entered and all said "Howdy." "OH SCHMIXEL! Its the Glowkies! We're under attack! Take cover!" Rokit cried, as he hid in Nurp's bed, just as Niksput flew in. "Have no fear! Niksput has arrived! Together, Orbitons are technologically advanced, so back you wimpy threateners, and don't even think about it! Prepare to feel high tech justice!" Niksput said, presenting a cubit to his fellow Orbitons, "Orbitons, lets MAX!" he said. "Yes Sir!" Rokit said. "Goo-goo gaga," Nurp said, as they all maxed. "BWAHAHAHA! JUSTICE!" the max said, firing lasers at the Glowkies, but one of the lasers ended up blasting the max in its eyes, blinding it. It walked around, but bumped into the overhead lights in Nurp's room, knocking the max off its balance, "Goo-goo gaga," the max said, before falling on its back. "Boogly guess we say 'Hello' some other time," the beany wearing Glowkie said, walking away. "Um, that was crazy scary," the tallest of the Glowkies said. "I thought it was FABULOUS!" the huge eyed Glowkie said, as he followed his friends. "Well, that was kind of embarrassing, but let me tell you, those sneaky ghouls are inhabitants of the dark side!" Rokit said ominously. "Is that a bad thing?" Flamezer asked. "Are you alright with blood sucking vampires?!" Rokit demanded, as some bats came zooming by. "We were suddenly surrounded by hideous smiles and glowing eyeballs," Flamezer said, continuing his story, as the planet Mixels, humans, and ponies all screamed and tried to swat away the flying bat creatures. "Sound the alarm! The Glowkies are upon us!" Rokit called, as he fired his guns into the air. At a nearby cave, a bunch more bats came flying out. Among them were the three Glowkies from Rokit's flashback, as they chased out heroes, "Grab my cubit!" Rokit called to Meltus, as they mixed, and shot fireballs at Boogly. Boogly just burped them right back at them. "What do they want?" Burnard asked Naut. "We assume they want to steal our souls and eat our entrails," Naut replied. "That seems highly improbable," Twilight commented. "Yeah, has anyone asked?" Burnard asked, as Naut switched to Nurp. "I think they're cute," Nurp giggled, as he switched back Naut, who held out a cubit, "Grab it!" Naut called to Burnard, as they both mixed. The mix growled for a moment, before switching to Nurp, who giggled, before switching back again. The large eyed bat laughed, before running away in fear, as the mix fired blasts of fire at him. "I was saving this for a special occasion, but..." Flamezer said, as he and Niksput grabbed the cubit. Upon mixing, they chased away the tall Glowkie, with the other two following him. "We've got them on the run!" the Flamezer/Niksput mix said, as the Burnard/Nurp-Naut mix giggled. "Now lets go get them!" Rainbow Dash called as she flew into a crater, following the Glowkies. The others followed after her. "Where are we?" Toby asked. "It appears we have entered the caves of the terrible Glowkies," Niksput said calmly. "Uh, don't look now guys, but I think we're surrounded," Flamezer commented. "That's not good," Pinkie commented. "Well, then I guess we should run," Niksput said calmly. "Not so fast cowboy!" the group turned to see the big eyed bat and his friends, "You dare to enter the secret caves of the Glowkies?" he demanded. "I'm Vampos," the tall bat said. "And I'm Boogly," the beany wearing Glowkie said. "PUH-LEASE! I was having a dramatic moment!" he scolded his friends, before sighing, "And I'm Globert. Now, get ready to..." he began as he and his friends touched a cubit and maxed out into a giant one eyed bat creature. "...PARTY!" the max said, as he began dancing to music. "Huh, I guess they're not bloodsucking monsters after all," Niksput commented, as the Glowkie max split back into the three Mixels. "Turns out the Glowkies were great guys, who just wanted to mix with the rest of us," Flamezer narrated, as everyone began dancing happily to the music. A little later, "So, why do the Glowkies live on the dark side of the moon Globert?" Burnard asked. "Yeah, it so dark!" Meltus commented. "And cold," Conner added. "I'm scared!" Nurp commented. "Afraid of the dark? Are you joking? We Glowkies love the dark! That's where all the fun is!" Globert replied. "Fun?" Burnard asked. "The darkness can be fun?" Conner asked. "That's right Mister! Let me show you!" Globert said, leading them to a large amphitheater. A little while later, Meltus was sitting on the edge of a crater, staring at the planet they all came from, and started crying. "Man, these Glowkies sure know how to throw a party," Burnard said to Flamezer and Applejack. It was then when they heard Meltus' crying, "Sounds like Meltus," he commented, as they went to see how he was. "Hey Meltus, why ain't ya at the party?" Applejack asked. "Oh, well, I miss home. I mean, its so far away, how are we ever going to get back?" Meltus asked. "Yeah, I miss home too," Flamezer said. "So do the rest of us," Applejack said. "Well, you know what they say, 'There's no place like home'," Burnard said with a chuckle as Meltus, Flamezer, and Applejack cried in despair. Back in the real world, Meltus and Burnard were crying after Flamezer finished his story, "Oh come on guys, I told you it was dream," Flamezer said. "Really?" Meltus asked. "That's right, there's no such thing as Glowkies, Orbitons, humans, or ponies," Flamezer said, as the aforementioned groups appeared next to the Infernites. "WHAT? WE DON'T EXIST?!" the four groups asked, as they all started crying, along with Meltus and Burnard. Meanwhile, underground, In a large cave amphitheater, Nixels, Gumans, and Ragelings were all screaming at the screen which displayed the friends. Up in the balcony, Major Nixel, Don Guman, and King Mephestio all came to see what the commotion was about, "Huh, more of them? Now there's Mixels on the moon!" Major Nixel said. "UNACCEPTABLE!" the three of them yelled. "If King Nixel got word of this, he's going to blow his top," the major said. "Yeah, I don't think Duke Guman will ever let me hear the end of it," Don Guman said. "And you guys definitely don't want to see what my mother is like," Mephestio complained. Just then, tremor like footsteps were heard and felt by the three leaders, as well as their minions, who all stopped their rioting in fear. The three leaders turned to see three ominous looking figures marching towards them, "NIX/CHANGE/GUMAN!" is what they chanted. "Oh, uh, sir, we were just about to report that..." the Major didn't even finish when the three figures screamed. "MIXELS/PONIES/HUMANS!" this caused the three leaders to fall of the balcony in fear, as the three giant figures glared in anger.
