Big Hero 6, the mighty new superhero team from the brand new hit Disney animated film of the same name, based on the Marvel comic book series, also of the same name, is proving to be one of the best superhero teams in history. Made up of Hiro Hamada, the leader and brains of the outfit, GoGo Tomago, the tough-as-nails speedster armed with magnetic discs used as projectiles and rollerblades, Honey Lemon, a chemistry wiz who throws out a wide variety of colored balls that can do all sorts of things such as freeze, turn all bouncy-like, even explode, Wasabi No-Ginger, a master of dual laser blades that can slice and dice anything, Fred-Zilla, a comic-book lover who dons a fearsome monster suit that can perform super-jumps and breathe fire, and then there's Baymax, the team's most powerful member, a robot donning mighty armor that allows him to fly at incredible speeds, fire rocket-fists, makes him amazingly strong, who is also Hiro's closest friend, and even possessess more heart, compassion, empathy and gentleness than any other living being, ever. 

Baymax was created by Hiro's older brother, Tadashi, as a non-threatening, huggable healthcare companion, to help so many people. These guys didn't set out to be superheroes, but when a mysterious villain named Yokai steals Hiro's micobots, and behind an accident that claimed the life of Tadashi, Hiro upgrades himself and the others to save the day. The day was saved when the villain Yokai was defeated, who turned out to be Tadashi's mentor, Professor Callaghan, who took advantage of Hiro's microbots to help make himself God-like in order to take revenge on tech guru and pioneer Alistair Krei, for being the reason why he lost his daughter during a test with teleportation technology, by also using the very same tech to suck up a new science building Krei just completed, and throwing him in afterwards. Baymax was even willing to give up his own life to save Hiro, when they go through the portal themselves to save Callaghan's daughter upon discovering she's still alive. From then on, those two, along with the rest of their friends, set out to fulfill Tadashi's dream of helping others as the next generation of superheroes forever known as, Big Hero 6. 

Now, we all remember the time when Spike and the Mane 6 ended up in a comic book world and, as a superhero team known as the Power Ponies, had to defeat a villain known as the Mane-iac, in order to return back to Equestria. Of course, some of us wondered what would happen if these two unexpected yet incredibly awesome superhero teams joined forces. Well, the answer lies ahead!
------

The story starts out in Equestria, in the grand room inside the castle of Twilight Sparkle, Princess of Friendship, to be exact, with Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rarity and Fluttershy all gathered together to bare witness Twilight trying to test a new spell she spent weeks trying to perfect: travel to other dimensions, besides the mirror used to travel to the human world where the human Mane 6, also known as the Rainbooms, reside. Meanwhile, Twilight concentrates as hard as she can to give the spell another go.

"Alright, just one more try", said Twilight as she gets into her usual stance, closes her eyes, and activates her horn, then signs of a tiny portal start to show. The portal continues to expand at a very slow rate the harder Twilight concentrates, but the others can tell she's putting too much strain on herself as the portal stops expanding and disappears like it wasn't even there, and then Twilight collapses on the floor, then the rest run to her aid to see to it she's fine.

"You okay, Sugarcube?", asked Applejack as she helps Twilight back on her hooves.

"Y-yeah, yeah I'm fine. Ugh! I can't believe it! That's the tenth time in a row! I thought I'd get it this time", said Twilight with a mix of frustration and dispair.

"Chill Twi, I'm pretty sure no pony's supposed to nail this kind of stuff on the first try. Except me, that is, since my talents just came to me naturally", said Rainbow, bragging about herself, as usual.

"That's not really helpful, daring", said Rarity.

"I'm just saying", said Rainbow.

"Don't worry, Twilight, I'm sure you'll get right soon enough", said Fluttershy.

"CURSE YOU SPELL, YOU HAVE FORSAKEN US!!!", yelled Pinkie dramatically, weirding out the others, "*giggles* Sorry! I thought that was called for! Would've totally made it more dramatic if it was raining".

"No offense guys, but could you keep it down a little? I'm just getting to the best part", said Spike, whose been sitting in his own little throne next to Twilight's throne, with his face buried in one of the dozen new comic books he picked up the last time he and the Mane 6 were in Canterlot.

"Spike, have you been reading those all day?", asked Rarity.

"These are brand new! And I haven't had time to read them until now, I'm just in the middle of the latest issue of 'Power Ponies'! This is a new story, where the Mane-iac launches her next scheme to conquer Maretropolis when she gets her hairy tentacles on a couple of top-secret experiments; one is to increase the strength and size of her tentacles at will, the other is to mass produce hundreds and thousands of robotic dopplegangers that are just as powerful as her, and just as dangerous! This could be, without a doubt, the single biggest threat to Maretropolis that the Power Ponies have ever faced!", shouted Spike, standing in his throne with way too much enthusiasm, only to find everypony but Pinkie ready to doze off, with a bowl of popcorn and a bottle of soda by her side.

"Guys! Didn't you like any of it?", asked Spike, followed by the majority of the ponies shaking off the sleepiness.

"Huh? O-oh yeah, sure thing! We're plenty interested", said Applejack, as she and the others, again, except Pinkie, we're putting a nervous smile face on and slowly nodded, but Spike wasn't buying it one bit.

"Really? Because it looked like I was putting you guys to sleep", said Spike, slightly irritated by this sort of attention he's getting from his friends, "I bet none of you heard a single word I said this whole time".

"Of course we heard everything you said", said Fluttershy, hard to tell if she said that to spare his feelings the best way she can or if she really meant it.

Oh yeah? Then what I'd say?", asked Spike.

"Oh, something about robots and tentacles, that sort of thing", said Rarity.

"Alright, I believe you. After all, I can't stay mad at you for long", said Spike with a puppy love look on his face meant for Rarity, but a few seconds later and Spike snapped out of it.

"Would be pretty awesome of we could be superheroes again. Saving the day with all those wicked super powers!", shouted Rainbow with much excitement.

"Not to mention those costumes of ours were absolutely fabulous! I especially adored those construct bracelets I had, oh the fashion possibilities would be limitless with those wonderful trinkets", said Rarity, obsessive over anything fashion based, as always.

"Yeah! Like back then, I was super duper fast! I was all like whoosh! And I was all like zooooooooom!!", shouted Pinkie as she mimiced a bunch of running movements.

"Ya know, aside from being caught in some serious trouble, Ah'd say that was one real doozy", said Applejack.

"It was pretty amazing, but I'll take our usual lives over superhero lives any day. Now, let's give that spell one last try", said Twilight.

"Ya sure yer up for it?", asked Applejack.

"I can't just give up on this, besides, I know I didn't spend nearly a month working on this spell for nothing", said Twilight. 

"Point taken", said Applejack.

"Now let's see if we can't get this spell working", said Twilight as she got in the similar stance, and fired up her horn as she had begun conjuring the portal. The portal appears again and, like before, starts to expand at a slow rate. Twilight then starts to crumble under the strain of it, but, determined as always, she pushes through, and after another nine minutes, success was hers as she and the others now stand before a fully manifested portal.

"And there you have it!", said Twilight with pride as the others gaze in amazement.

"It's so gorgeous", said Fluttershy.

"Gorgeous, indeed!", shouted Rarity, mesmerized by the vivid colors of the portal.

"Sweet! So, where do you guys think this thing will take us?", asked Rainbow.

"I'm not sure yet. That's why we need to test it before we all walk through", said Twilight.

"CHARGE!!", yelled Pinkie as she made a running dash for the portal, only to end up frozen in place by Twilight's magic, just a foot away from the portal.

"I meant we test it CAREFULLY, Pinkie", said Twilight before she released Pinkie from her magic.

"Just wanted to be sure!", said Pinkie.

"So how do ya suppose we test this anyway?", asked Applejack.

"We should send one of us through with some rope, the rest of us will get a good hold of the rope while that pony goes through it. One tug means everything's fine, two tugs mean we have to pull them back fast if there's trouble", said Twilight, slightly concerned.

"So, who pray tell wants to go first?", asked Rarity, and then Pinkie pops up next to her and starts jumping around with excitement.

"Oh oh oh! Me me me!! Please?! That could lead us to a world made entirely of giant hooey marshmallows, super duper sweet candy canes, maybe even a chocolate waterfall!!", shouted Pinkie.

"I say we should send some pony BESIDES Pinkie here", said Rainbow.

"But think of the candy canes! All those luscious, mouth watering candy canes that are just BEGGING to be put in my belly!", shouted Pinkie.

"Pinkie, calm down! I can't risk any of you getting caught in something really dangerous, so if any one of us should test the portal, it should be me", said Twilight, and just before any of the other ponies could start an argument over the matter, Spike steps in between the portal and the others with his comic.

"Hey guys! You GOTTA check this comic! I think it's the best out of any of the other comics I just got", said Spike, but just then, the portal starts acting strange, as it starts acting all glitchy, and easily catches the group's attention.

"Twilight, daring, would you kindly explain to us why the portal's acting strange all of a sudden?", asked Rarity nervously with Fluttershy hiding behind her, seriously frightened.

"Oh no, I was afraid of this! Every pony stand back, I'm gonna try to shut it down before it's too late!", shouted Twilight as she fired up her horn and tries to make the portal fade away, but alas, that had no effect on it.

"I don't understand, nothing's working!", said Twilight, and her fears grew worse when she noticed she was starting to get pulled in slowly, then is sucked in right away, followed by the rest of the group. Things got even stranger as Spike's comic got sucked up last, and the portal behaved even more unusual, right before it finally disappeared. A moment later, Discord, former spirit of chaos, pops up with some board games and snacks in hand.

"Hello friends! I hope you're all in the mood for 'Pin the Tail on the Pony' and some savory frosted cookies!!", shouted Discord, only to find the whole castle comepletely empty.

"Um...heeellllloooo???!!! Any pony home?! Any pony? Any pony at all?! Nothing at all? Oh well, more for me then", said Discord as he muched on a frosted cookie.

Meanwhile, the Mane 6 were flying through the portal in complete terror, that's when they notice strange things going on with the portal's inside as they starting feeling different, and then everything goes black. When the group finally wakes up, they notice they're still in pony form, with one difference: they find themselves donning the costumes and powers of the Power Ponies once more!

Spike as Hum Drum, Twilight as the Masked Matter-Horn, Pinkie as Fili-Second, Rarity as Radiance, Applejack as Mistress Mare-velous, Rainbow as Zapp, and Fluttershy as Saddle-Rager. They're comepletely surprised and excited over this, and that would've lasted longer if they weren't just dragged through a troublesome portal with serious side-effects and thrown into an unknown dimension.

"How awesome is this?! We're the Power Ponies again!", shouted Rainbow.

"Hey! Cupcakes anyone?", asked Pinkie holding a platter of assorted cupcakes.

"Where did you get those?", asked Fluttershy.

"I smelled some super-sweet sweets that came from an incredible sweet shop a few blocks from here!", shouted Pinkie.

"But how did you get those?", asked Fluttershy.

"Oh, I had a split half second after we woke up", said Pinkie, right before she hilariously devoured all the cupcakes in one sitting.

"This is all mighty amazing and all, but I'm a little curious as to where in the name of Equestria are we", said Applejack.

"Oh my goodness! A shopping district! I can search for some wonderful accessories to really glamourize my already wonderful costume", said Rarity, as she quickly noticed she and the group are indeed in some kind of shopping center, filled with all kinds of shops, especially the kind that grab Rarity's attention with ease.

"Ah reckon we need something a little more specific than that", said Applejack, right before she and the others quickly notice one of the shops' signs saying 'SanFransokyo Furniture Place'.

"SanFransokyo?", asked Twilight.

"What the hay kinda name is that for a city?", asked Applejack.

"I bet the people of this dimension would ask the same with something like Filidelphia or Ponyville", said Rainbow.

"Speaking of the people of this dimension, where is everyone?", asked Twilight, and that's when the others join in on her curiousity as they quickly studied their surroundings: they easily gather that they're in a mega sized city by the name of SanFransokyo, littered with various signs of American and Japanese culture and architecture. But also notice the streets are mostly empty, nothing but several abandoned cars, dropped belongings and good, literally no one in sight, until something unexpected came up.

"Guys? There's something coming", said Spike nervously.

"Is it candy rain?!", shouted Pinkie, very excited-like when she looked to the skies for a moment.

"Not really", said Spike even more nervously as he and the others got a better view of what was coming their way, and it really surprises them to to see it's a huge crowd of humans running toward them.

"Fair people! Stop! We don't mean your world any harm!", shouted Twilight, with her and the others actually convinced the people viewed them as a threat and sought to attack. However, instead of that, the Power Ponies stand very still as the crowd just ran right past them. Three minutes later, and it was just them all alone in the shopping district, confused about what just happened now.

"What just happened?", asked Rainbow.

"Someone's probably giving away free party cannons on the other side of town!", shouted Pinkie.

"Ah don't think it's that, Pinkie, or us at that matter. Come to think of it, what's so serious that it's got all these folk so spooked anyway?", asked Applejack.

"Maybe they're running away because of THAT?!", shouted Spike as he pointed to something in the distance and the others took notice as well. The group is in complete shock to see it was none other than the Mane-iac, suspended in mid-air between two skyscrapers by, what appeared to be, her hair tentacles grown all giant-like, and it wasn't long before she caught wind of them.

"POWER PONIES!!!! What a delight it is to see you again!! But I'm afraid to say you're too late!! Now nothing can stand in my way as I bring the city of SanFransokyo to it's knees!!!!", shouted the Mane-iac, followed by a maniacal laughter.

"How is this all happening anyhow?! We never even gotten ourselves sucked into some comic book world again!", shouted Applejack, but that's when Twilight took a minute to put two and two together and figure out the source of all their troubles, as usual.

"In some way I think that's just what happened", said Twilight, then turning to Spike and putting on an angry gaze before asking him something, "Spike, that comic you were just reading before I opened that portal wouldn't have been from 'Enchanted Comics' would it?"

"Well...*chuckles nervously* Yes, but I wasn't gonna read that tiny spell on the last page! I know better than that!", shouted Spike.

"Just as I thought. The portal was going through some side-effects indeed, but there was no doubt it was working right", said Twilight.

"That still doesn't explain why we're all superheroes once more, and especially why SHE'S here", said Rarity.

"That's just it, the magic spell from the comic must have interacted with the magic used in the portal. So instead of bringing us into the comic book world, it brought the comic book world to US!", shouted Twilight.

"So we beat Mane-iac again, save this city, and go back home! No biggie!", shouted Rainbow.

"Heh heh, about that, there's a catch", said Spike nervously.

"We all gotta do the funky chicken dance?! I'm on it!", shouted Pinkie as she was quickly underway of her little dance, but was halted again by Twilight's magic, then released.

"It's not that, just that we MIGHT not be able to win this one", said Spike.

"Dude, are you doubting our awesome skills? We totally got this nut job in the bag", said Rainbow.

"That's not gonna be easy, since last time we had to follow through the events that the comic had to beat the Mane-iac, things are gonna get tricky since the comic I was reading, was a two-part story", said Spike.

"A TWO-PART STORY?!?!", shouted the others in unison strong enough to actually knock Spike off his balance for a moment before getting back on his feet.

"The comic I was reading was just part one of the story! Part two won't release until next month to finish the whole story!", shouted Spike.

"NEXT MONTH?!", shouted the others in unison a second time.

"What in tarnation is a story that's done split in two parts where all that tension and worry will build up?!", demanded Applejack, if she only knew she and the others have done that kind of thing already, a bunch of times at best.

"Comic books do that sort of thing all the time! It's to add some suspense to keep readers hooked on for more!", shouted Spike.

"Like we knew that before! It's not like any of the rest of us read two-part stories in our spare time!", shouted Rainbow.

"From what I recall, there are quite a few times when I overheard you reading a few of those Daring Do books of yours that sounded an awful lot like two-part stories", said Rarity, giving Rainbow an arching eyebrow.

"Fair enough", said Rainbow.

"That's enough now, we can't leave and allow Mane-iac to spread her terror upon this city, worse, around the whole world as well! We have to stop her!", shouted Twilight.

"But like I said: that comic was just part one, we don't know how the story ends!", shouted Spike.

"So what, we're gonna let some comic decide what we do? I don't think so!", shouted Rainbow.

"I guess it's too late to consider?", asked Fluttershy.

"Rainbow's right, we're in charge of our own lives, WE have to decide how this story ends", said Twilght.

"Darn tootin'!", shouted Applejack.

"Indeed", said Rarity.

"Yay for us", said Fluttershy.

"Okie Dokie Wokie!", shouted Pinkie.

"Well, can't hurt to try, I guess. What the heck, I'm game!", shouted Spike with confidence, and with that settled with, the group steps up to challenge the Mane-iac.

"MANE-IAC! Your reign of terror stops right now! Give yourself up before we make you!", demanded Twilight, but the Mane-iac didn't find that at all threatening.

"*yawns* Your tiny threats bore me! I have no time to deal with you myself, I'll just leave it to my minions! Manelings!!!", yelled the Mane-iac, followed by a battalion of robotic dopplegangers that each look as identical as Mane-iac minus the silver paint job and red eyes, and just as powerful as well. It wasn't long before they surrounded the Power Ponies.

"Spike, you hide behind that mailbox, we'll handle this!", shouted Twilight.

"Sounds good to me!", shouted Spike as he quickly dashed for cover behind the nearest mailbox, and then he discovers Fluttershy hiding there as well.

"Not this again, Fluttershy! Come on and get angry, they'll need you out there! Aren't you the least bit mad?", asked Spike.

"Well, not really", said Fluttershy, followed by Spike slamming his hand against his forehead.

"Uh, Spike, got anything ya might wanna share with us about these varmints?", asked Applejack.

"Like in the comic, these things look and fight like her, except the laser eyes that is. Oh, and that they're pretty tough, but they're definitely not invincible", said Spike.

"You also said they're completely mindless", said Twilight.

"Which means we don't have to hold back!", shouted Rainbow as she pulled off a dash attack on a few Manelings to start off the fight, then the others joined in. Applejack uses the magic lasso to reel in five Manelings, swings them around and slams them into the side of a building, Twilight uses her powers to freeze three Manelings in their place while Rainbow uses her power to summon a tornado and controls it to suck up the frozen Manelings from the bottom of it, and send them flying through the top side. Rarity buck-kicks a Maneling into a few others, making them fall to the ground, and then uses her power to make a construct of a broom the size of a tree and sweeps that mess up as she uses it to knock those fallen Manelings into a bus.

Pinkie uses her power of super speed to taunt a single Maneling as it constantly tries to zap her with it's laser eyes, only for Pinkie to trick that thing into zapping several other Manelings as she zooms in and out of it's line of fire, one by one, about ten Manelings end up destroyed and Pinkie runs around her original target fast enough to make the bot all dizzy, causing it to short circuit, then she takes a split second break to get a slice of pie. 

The fight was fierce, and the Power Ponies were giving it their all, minus Fluttershy since she's facing the same issue as before with her not being able to get angry to activate her powers, but it wasn't long before several more of those bots came on the scene, seeming as if the Power Ponies didn't even make a dent in their numbers, and now they're completely outnumbered.

"Hahaha! It REALLY has been a wild ride, Power Ponies, but now I must bid thee farewell!!", yelled the Mane-iac, that's when the Manelings started to close in, but everyone couldn't help but notice a large black puddle made up of tiny weird bits of metal move right underneath them.

"I don't think so!", shouted a mysterious young male voice, followed by the strange puddle of metal bits quickly shifting into giant spikes, sending a bunch of Manelings flying, then reverting back into a giant puddle and moving away from the Power Ponies, as if it was called back to it's owner.

And then the Power Ponies notice behind them the source of the voice, along with that strange black metal puddle, was from a young boy wearing some kind of purple and black costume with oversized gauntlets and a helmet.

"Whoa! Who's this dude?!", demanded Rainbow.

"The name's Hiro, and I'm on your side", said the boy known as Hiro, then turning his attention to the Mane-iac, "If you're gonna try to take over a whole city, you're gonna have to step up your game!!"

"I like this guy", said Rainbow.

"Not to mention he's sporting an absolutely marvelous outfit", said Rarity.

"*chuckles* My oh my, you're quite the turn-out aren't you? But I'm afraid I won't fall easily to the likes of you!!", shouted the Mane-iac.

"Then it's a good thing I didn't come alone!", shouted Hiro, that's when his own team made their entrance: a yellow metal disc came flying out of nowhere, knocked into one Maneling and ricocheted into a few others, then returned to it's owner, a teenage girl in a black and yellow costume with another disc on her left arm and two more close to her feet, those two used as rollerblades. Then a teenage guy comes out of nowhere and uses a pair of powerful laser blades on his forearms and hacks five of those bots into pieces.

A second teenage girl in a fuchsia and pink costume shows up and dispenses two colorful little balls from the back of a fancy looking hi-tech purse, throws one at the ground in front of a pair of Manelings charging at at her, instantly freezing that patch of ground and causing those two bots to slide and slam into a truck, and throws another one just at the feet of another two Manelings that were about to fire their laser eyes, a second later and the ball explodes in a blaze of power and color, and what was left of the bots feel to the ground all twisted and wrecked. 

Another teenage boy in a creepy cool blue monster suit jumps down from a nearby building, throws one bot into another, then unleashes a mighty breath of fire that sends seven bots flying and knocking them hard against a side of another building.

Then a large, buff and powerful red and purple robot comes flying in, hovers in front of the Power Ponies, his teammates, and the remaining Manelings, and fires his fists like rockets and steers them so they only take out the remaining bots, and leaves a mess of scattered and busted up bot parts everywhere as the robot's fists came back to their owner and the robot lands on the ground to join the others. The robot takes particular interest in the Power Ponies and walks up to them.

"Hello, I am Baymax, your personal healthcare companion", said the robot known as Baymax, looking at the ponies with his small black round eyes with a slightly thick black line intersecting the eyes.

"Um, hello there", said Twilight.

"This guy's awesome and all, but he kinda weirds me out", said Rainbow.

"You have been good little girls. Have a lollipop", said Baymax, who's holding a cherry lollipop in front of the the ponies.

"Don't mind if I do!", shouted Pinkie as she zoomed in front of the others and ate the lollipop in one bite.

"My, he's quite the charmer", said Rarity.

"Yeah, he really is, and this is the rest of my team, GoGo, Wasabi, Honey Lemon, and Fred-Zilla", said Hiro, presenting the rest of his team to the Power Ponies.

"Hey", said the rollerblading girl known as GoGo.

"Hello there", said the laser blade master known as Wasabi.

"Hi! Oh my gosh! You all look SO ADORABLE!", shouted the color-throwing wiz known as Honey Lemon.

"Greetings, rad heroes from another world! We are Big Hero 6!", shouted the guy in the monster suit known as Fred-Zilla.

"Well, we're the...Power Ponies! And thanks so much for the help", said Twilight.

"Hey, it's what we do", said Hiro, who finds himself interrupted by a certain super villain suspended between two skyscrapers by her oversized hair tentacles.

"SSSOOOO SORRY TO RUIN THIS TOUCHING MOMENT, but I do believe it's time to finish this!!", shouted the Mane-iac, as a second battalion of Manelings made their approach and had begun to surround both teams.

"This isn't good", said Spike.

"I'm with you there, pal. Hey Hiro, I think it's our best bet to make a break for it", said Wasabi.

"I think you're right! Everyone, we're retreating!", shouted Hiro.

"Retreat?! But we can take these guys!", shouted Rainbow.

"He's right, sometimes it's smart to run away, regardless of the humiliation we might feel", said Twilight.

"Exactly my point! Honey! Fred! Give us some cover!", shouted Hiro.

"We're on it! Smokescreen move, activate!", shouted Fred-Zilla as Honey Lemon throws out another colorful ball and Fred-Zilla used his fire breath move on the ball, which causes the ball to erupt into a giant cloud of blue smoke that's engulfed the entire city block. The Mane-iac gets a bit cranky, refusing to let those heroes escape her clutches.

"Don't just stand there, clear that smoke and capture those pests!!", yelled the Mane-iac, followed by the Maneling battalion sticking their metal rears in the air, and using their tails as powerful propeller blades, but because the smoke cloud was so thick and massive, it took the bots two full minutes to clear the area of all that smoke.

By the time they did, the two hero teams were already gone. The Manelings, despite not having real minds, looked to their master to see how she felt about the heroes' escape while awaiting further orders. She looked as if she were about to blow a fuse, but instead takes a deep breath and puts on a small grin.

"That's fine, let them run. They'll slip up sooner or later, and we'll wipe them out in an instant! With the power I possess, this mighty army at my complete disposal, and when those heroes are dealt with, this city will belong to me! And the same will go to the rest of this pathetic little world! So says...THE MANE-IAC!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!", yelled the Mane-iac, and she's right of course. The heroes will need to really step up their game, or the entire city will belong...to the Mane-iac!

To be continued....

> Power Pony Style Smackdown
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Last time we left the Mane 6, they were in Twilight's castle, as the Princess of Friendship struggled to test out her own spell to travel to other dimensions, while Spike was reading a bunch of new comic books, especially the latest Power Ponies story. The good news: Twilght finally completes the spell as a portal to another dimension was right in front of her and her friends. The bad news: the portal proves to come with a few side effects as it sucks Spike and the Mane 6 through along with Spike's comic and starts to act even weirder. The group awakens in the amazing hi-tech city of San Fransokyo and surprisingly find themselves in their Power Pony personas. They notice the town square area was empty, no one in sight. But then that's when, after a bunch of humans ran past them in terror, they discover that mishap with the portal and the comic book brought in the Mane-iac, armed with a new power and a mechanical army. The Mane 6 fight back, but even with back up from a  team called Big Hero 6, they found themselves overwhelmed by these monstrous beings. The two teams were forced to retreat, while the Mane-iac sees this as only delaying the inevitable. Now the two teams must find a way around this mess before the Mane-iac reaches her end goal.
------

The two teams were racing through the city as fast as possible before the Mane-iac sends her mechanized soldiers after them. Hiro used his microbots and rode them like he was surfing, Wasabi used his laser blades to fly as he unleashed a beam of energy from them to launch himself, GoGo rode her magne-disc roller blades and shot right ahead crazy fast with Pinkie right beside her, Honey Lemon tossed one color ball after another, each exploded into a bouncy pile and she hopped on each one that sent her high in the air, FredZilla used his super jump skills to leap ahead with ease, Baymax and Twilight fly side by side, along with Rainbow and Fluttershy, with Spike, Applejack and Rarity ride on Baymax. 

"Where are we going?", asked Twilight.

"Somewhere that the Mane-iac wouldn't bother to look", said Hiro as they all sped through the city for another few minutes until they reach their destination. The place was some fancy and futuristic looking building, and it made the Power Ponies wonder what's so special about this place.

"What the heck is this supposed to be?", asked Rainbow.

"Say hello to the Tadashi Hamada Science Building!", shouted Hiro as he boldly presented that place to the Power Ponies, who were still very much confused.

"No seriously, what's this place supposed to be? A nerd lab?", asked Rainbow, slightly more annoyed than before.

"Rainbow, be nice!", demanded Twilght as she gave the occasionally rude Pegasus pony a brief glare.

"What? I'm just saying!", shouted Rainbow.

"Just follow us inside, see if this place is still just a nerd lab when you see what we got", said GoGo as Hiro started leading everyone inside.

"Smooth one, Dashie", said Applejack to Rainbow before she's the last one outside.

"*sighs* That's not going away anytime soon", said Rainbow as she went inside herself. The place looked pretty impressive inside, the first thing the Power Ponies see is this big open work area where those who've worked on some really great inventions test them out, see if they're fine or to check what needs to be fixed before things get done. But unfortunately there wasn't any time to look around.

"This way", said Hiro as he leads everyone to this long corridor with doors that look to lead to personal labs for plenty of great minds to bring their ideas to life. Finally, the two teams take a left and enter this fairly big room, and at the far end of it, was a small shrine, dedicated to a boy who looked to be in his late teens. The Power Ponies were a little confused while making sure they weren't meaning any disrespect to who this late boy was.

"My word, pray tell who is this boy?", asked Rarity carefully as Hiro walked up to the shrine and rested his hand on it, with a little sad look on his face.

"This is, WAS Tadashi Hamada, my older brother", said Hiro as the rest of his team bowed their heads to pay their respects. It wasn't hard for the ponies to figure out why they were doing what they were doing, and felt a bit embarrassed yet ashamed for not realizing it right away.

"Oh, Hiro, we're so sorry for your loss", said Twilight as she and the others followed their lead and paid their respects.

"Ah can see why this place is called the Tadashi Hamada science building", said Applejack.

"Hey, remember when I called this place a nerd lab? I take it back", said Rainbow, now feeling a bit bad about herself after what she said outside. That's when Hiro turned back to them with a little smirk.

"It's cool, it's not like you already knew. Speaking of which, I think it's time to head somewhere we'll be able to share more with each other, and where we'll be a lot safer to add", said Hiro as he seemed to hit a secret switch behind the shrine, and a minute later, the shrine moves upward, revealing a hidden elevator behind the wall. This surprises the ponies.

"What the hay is an elevator doing here?", asked Applejack.

"You're about to find out", said GoGo in a cool yet slightly ominous way as they as stepped inside, surprisingly, there was easily enough room for everyone, then the doors slowly shut. As the elevator goes down further and further below the building, the ponies were wondering just where that elevator was taking them, then after three whole minutes, it stops. The doors finally open and the ponies, much to their surprise, see before them what looks like some kind of super secret superhero headquarters, decked out with all kinds of stuff. The room they're currently in seems like a very huge round room, sporting a red and purple paint job like Baymax, with different kinds of tech including mostly a very large computer monitor, motion sensors in case of a possible break in, six other doors that obviously lead to six other special rooms and even a little break table with a microwave above it.

"My goodness! This all seems sleek yet absolutely stylish! What is this humble abode?", asked Rarity.

"Welcome to the Big Hero 6 secret headquarters!", shouted Hiro loud enough to produce an echo. The ponies were definitely blown by what they were seeing.

"It's amazing! So you built all of THIS?", asked Twilight.

"Well, we've been at this whole hero thing for a year, and that's plenty of time to set up all this, especially since we got the attention of some high class inventors", said Hiro.

"AND, it's classic superhero rule number 54: all superheroes have to have a really cool secret headquarters!", shouted FredZilla.

"That's exactly what I was thinking!", shouted Spike.

"Yes! Finally someone who gets the ways of a superhero! No offense you guys", said FredZilla.

"None taken", said Baymax speaking on behalf of the others.

"This is neat! If you add some balloons and streamers along with a ball pit, this would be SUPER-neat! Anyone want some pie?", asked Pinkie as she held up a whole pie.

"Where'd you get that?", asked Wasabi.

"I had about half a second before the elevator door closed", said Pinkie.

"Apple?", asked GoGo.

"Nope! Cherry!", shouted Pinkie.

"Pass", said GoGo as she formed a bubble with her gum and popped it.

"Oh well, more for me!", shouted Pinkie as she swallowed the pie in one hilarious gulp. Meanwhile the two teams make sure they get back to other important matters.

"Alright Pinkie, back to business. First off Hiro, are you absolutely sure we're safe down here?", asked Twilight.

"Trust me on this. Even though the Mane-iac's been here for a couple of hours and got herself set up with a lot of equipment to keep a rebellion from popping up, our HQ is hiding it's own signal. She won't be able to track us down even if she tried her hardest", said Hiro to really re-assure the ponies.

"So she can't find us, big whoop, that doesn't mean we should hide out down here forever", said Rainbow.

"Or maybe we just hide here until she decides to leave, hopefully. Oh, I'm sorry if I interrupted you", said Fluttershy, nervous as usual, but that's her for you.

"I think you might be a wee bit optimistic about that, no offense", said Honey Lemon.

"Oh, none taken thank you", said Fluttershy.

"I don't think it's that simple, she's probably not gonna leave until she has the whole city under her control", said Hiro.

"But of course she knows she has to deal with us since we're the one thing standing in her way", said Twilight.

"Don't suppose we can keep this chat moving somewhere we can sit, mah dogs are barking!", shouted Applejack with enthusiasm as she rubbed her left front hoof against her right one.

"You do not appear to be accompanied by any canines of the sort, thus there is no barking at the moment", said Baymax.

"Say what?", asked Applejack.

"I apologize, for I have yet to fully understand expressions", said Baymax.

"Oh, no problem then big guy", said Applejack.

You are welcome", said Baymax.

"Anyway, it's funny you say that, follow me and we'll continue in our round room", said Hiro as he leads everyone to one of the other six doors, but had to stop when Hiro spots FredZilla over at the break table, "Fred let's go, there's no time for a microwaveable burrito!"

"There's ALWAYS time for a microwaveable burrito dude!", shouted FredZilla as his burrito heats up and pulls out his burrito from the microwave in just a couple minutes, but then he starts shouting in pain as he juggled the hot burrito in both hands, clearly his suit can take a laser blast but not a hot burrito. Soon after, everyone had gathered around in this large enough room in the manner of a board meeting at a company office, and FredZilla got there and was still eating that burrito. About an hour had passed and both teams properly introduced each other, and how things led up to their current situation.

"So, we're awful sorry we dragged out mess into your world", said Applejack.

"It's alright, what's done is done. Right now we have other matters to deal with: bringing the Mane-iac down once and for all, same goes for her bots", said Hiro.

"So Spike, you've been reading up on that nut job in your comics, how do we stop her?", asked GoGo, and at that moment, all eyes were shifted toward Spike, who had to work up the nerve to say a word at all.

"Well, the last time we faced her, she planned on unleashing her doomsday device on the city of Maretropolis and give every pony a 'bad hair day', and we stopped her by turning the device against her, trapping her in her own mane", said Spike.

"I'm guessing that's not gonna work twice", said GoGo.

"No, I mean the comic I've been reading doesn't say how to stop her and her army", said Spike.

"So WE gotta come up the ending for this story?! Dude, THAT'S why you get to wear the cape!", shouted FredZilla.

"And that's why we can always count on Spike whenever we can", said Applejack.

"Well, I try", said Spike.

"So we can pretty much handle ourselves with those dumb robots since they don't seem to have a brain inbetween them. Uh no offense big guy, you're cool", said Rainbow to Baymax.

"None taken thank you very much. After all, I am a robot myself, I cannot be offended", said Baymax.

"Right, whatever you say dude", said Rainbow sarcastically.

"The Manelings are one thing, but our biggest concern is the Mane-iac. Those giant hair tentacles are gonna make it difficult to get anywhere near her", said Twilight.

"Agreed, before you guys showed up, we actually tried to make our move on the Mane-iac, and that ended with Baymax here getting knocked away by one of those hair tentacles and straight through three skyscrapers", said Hiro.

"Ouch", said Rainbow.

"Good heavens", said Rarity.

"That's what we said when we saw the whole thing go down", said Wasabi.

"Did it look like a home run?!", shouted Pinkie.

"It totally did!", shouted FredZilla, and Twilight and Hiro had to step in.

"Pinkie!", shouted Twilight.

"Fred!", shouted Hiro.

"What? I love baseball", said  Pinkie.

"And dude, Baymax can't feel pain", said FredZilla.

"That is correct", said Baymax, and annoyed by this brief baseball talk, the two leaders decided to let this slide and get back to the matter at hand.

"ANYWAY, since it's clear that an up close encounter won't happen, our best options are to either take the Mane-iac down with a solid distance attack or figure out a way to render her hair tentacles useless", said Hiro.

"Easier said than done dude", said Rainbow.

"Hey, we're all bright minded, we'll try to figure this out now", said Wasabi right before a classic alarm starts to go off, "Or we could just figure this out later instead".

"What in the world is that?!", shouted Twilight.

"Ooo! I love this song! Come on guys! Let's boogie!", shouted Pinkie as she jumped onto the table and started throwing in some crazy dance moves, and FredZilla even gets caught up on the moment and joins her, until Hiro puts an end to the party, even though it's necessary.

"That's not a song! That's our danger alert system! Something's going on in the city!", shouted Hiro.

"I don't mean to be a pushover, but couldn't you have picked something rather exquisite?!", shouted Rarity.

"It's a danger alert system, not an orchestra!", shouted GoGo.

"Besides, it was the best one we could find!", shouted Honey Lemon.

"So the party's over?!", shouted Pinkie.

"No way! Way I see it, it's just getting started!", shouted FredZilla.

"Alright!", shouted Pinkie, and that's when the two teams got together and made their way back to the central command center and Hiro pulls up something on the monitor. They get a single image of a futuristic looking blue and silver two story tall building that's partly wrecked with some smoke coming from the sides indicating a few small fires broke loose.

"What is that place?", asked Twilight.

"That's the latest research facility from Krei Tech, owned by that tech pioneer we told you about, named Alistair Krei.", said Hiro.

"Ooo! A pioneer?! Maybe he's seen the latest sights!", shouted Pinkie.

"Ah don't think he meant THAT kind of pioneer Pinkie", said Applejack, but Pinkie was busy daydreaming about the wild sights like what traditional pioneers see traveling the land, "Forget it".

"Marshmallow patches", said Pinkie with a weird look in her eyes and a drool filled mouth to match.

"Come on Pinkie! I just mopped there this morning!", shouted Wasabi in dismay.

"ANYWAY, that place has only been around for a couple of months, and they've already had some big breakthroughs in the latest technology. If the Mane-iac is there, and she applies that tech to herself and her bots, there's no telling how much trouble she'll cause", said Hiro.

"Not if we can help it! Let's head over there and put and end to the Mane-iac's villainous plan!", shouted Twilight, "There's bound to be more of those Manelings patrolling the city than when we first got here, so we'll have to fight our way to the Mane-iac to get to the facility".

"Good thinking, let's move teams! That includes you Fred!", shouted Hiro as the others turn and spot FredZilla over at the break table microwaving another burrito.

"Just one for the road dudes! Let's roll out!", shouted FredZilla with an awkward silence followed briefly afterwards.

"I'm pretty sure that's already taken", said Wasabi before everyone runs for the elevator, followed by FredZilla after he plucks the burrito out of the microwave and throws it inside his suit, and desperately fights off the burning sensation as he catches up with the others. Once back on the surface, the two teams make a dash for the main entrance, but FredZilla lags a bit as he rushes to finish up the burrito he just cooked. Finished with that lunch of his, FredZilla reaches the others outside, and he can see for himself what's gotten that so surprised: Manelings flying practically everywhere, and it didn't take too long for them to catch on to the heroes.

"To be honest, I kinda hoped we could sneak over to the research facility", said Wasabi before a Maneling fired its laser eyes close to his feet, "But it looks like that ship has sailed".

"Ya think?!", shouted Rainbow.

"Run!", shouted Hiro as he and the others started traveling the same way as earlier, just before the Manelings fired at the ground with their laser eyes. In no time at all they stopped and started chasing them, "We can't let these things slow us down! Take out as many as you can!"

"I thought you'd never ask!", shouted Rainbow as she raises her lightning bolt necklace up in the air and produces a mini twister that entraps about a dozen Manelings and spins them around until the twister launches them each straight into the ground, exploding on impact before the twister fades away. Rainbow flies close enough to high hoof Applejack, "Sorry tin heads, but the forecast calls for a crazy twister with a chance of butt-whooping!"

"Don't celebrate yet Rainbow, there's more coming in!", shouted Twilight as about fourteen more Manelings approach the heroes.

"I got it dudes! Applejack, round some of them for me!", shouted FredZilla.

"Ah get ya partner! Time to round us up some cattle!", shouted Applejack as she used her magic lasso to ensnare about six Manelings, swing them around and knock three away, then holds then long enough for FredZilla to make his move.

"Feel the fire!", shouted FredZilla as he spun the other way after his next leap, and shoots a mighty fire ball at the captured Manelings, which sent them flying into the remaining Manelings chasing them, which ends with every last one of them breaking apart upon a devastating impact, and FredZilla was as to continue with his leaping just in time.

"Ye-ha! That there was some quick work Fred!", shouted Applejack.

"Back at'cha AJ!", shouted FredZilla back.

"Guys look!", shouted Honey Lemon as everyone focused in on what she's talking about. In this case, it was their destination: the new Krei Tech research facility.

"That's the place alright!", shouted Hiro.

"So what's the plan?", asked Wasabi.

"Plan is we come crashing in and take her down!", shouted Rainbow as she dashed right ahead of the others.

"Uh, that's not a plan!", shouted Wasabi, but it seemed like they weren't listening.

"Right behind you Rainbow!", shouted GoGo as she sped right behind Rainbow, followed by everyone with Wasabi and Twilight far behind them.

"Seriously, what's the plan?!", shouted Wasabi, yet no one answered back. Then Twilight flies close and says something.

"Trust me Wasabi, I know how it feels when a real plan isn't formed", said Twilight.

"Wow, déjà vu right there", said Wasabi, reminded of what happened in terms of forming a real plan on Big Hero 6's first mission. Then those two flew a little faster and entered the building through a large broken window. Upon entering, the two teams could see that the inside was much worse, the place looked like a huge firefight went down, with laser marks all over the place. The heroes search for any signs of trapped civilians or researchers, not a single trace was found.

"This place is seriously trippy guys", said FredZilla.

"You can say that again", said Spike as he and Wasabi search under a fallen metal column, while Pinkie zoomed all over the place, looking at anything she could find.

"Nothing over here! Or here! Or there! Or even there!", shouted Pinkie as she zoomed from one spot to the next.

"Looks like all personal managed to evacuate the place as soon as Mane-iac started her attack. That's a good sign", said Hiro, but Twilight studied their surroundings, and she felt like there's something off about the places these laser marks ended up at.

"Hiro, take a closer look at the laser marks, they don't seem to be hitting any specific target, they all seem random", said Twilight as Hiro studied the marks himself and could see where Twilight was getting at with this.

"You're right, it's as if the Manelings were ordered to just shoot at everything little thing around them, instead of one or two specific targets. And now that I think of it, there's something else that's bothering me. We've barely explored this whole facility, yet we should've ran into even a little bit of the tech they're working on here, but nothing, nothing at all", said Hiro, and Twilight noticed it herself. Twilight spent half a minute thinking this over, until she put two and two together, and was very shocked.

"Guys, it's no wonder why this place is already empty of anything important!", shouted Twilight.

"Why is that?", asked Wasabi, then everyone froze in place in response to a chilling laugh, followed by talking from a mysterious female voice.

"THAT'S BECAUSE IT'S A TRAP!", yelled the source of the voice, none other than the Mane-iac, who entered the same window as the heroes did with her hair tentacles and blocked the way, followed by a whole bunch of Manelings charging in through the doors to that huge room, surrounding the heroes.

"I immediately regret asking", said Wasabi.

"That you should hero! I knew this would serve as the perfect bait when I learned that they had everything moved to an unknown location", said the Mane-iac, and that left Hiro feeling a little stupid as he slapped his own forehead in frustration.

"*groans* of course! I should've known Krei wouldn't let this place get raided, it makes sense why he'd have this place emptied out!", shouted Hiro.

"Indeed, but you didn't! And now I can finally be rid of you heroes and the city will be mine! Attack!", shouted Mane-iac as her hoard of Manelings advanced on the heroes, and seeing this as the possible best chance to stop the Mane-iac, they strike back.

Twilight fires a freeze ray from her horn and leaves eight Manelings frozen in place as Hiro uses his microbots in the manner of a giant brick and crushes them in one fell swoop, followed by Twilight zapping three more with a heat Ray. Pinkie zooms around and spins a bunch of Manelings like crazy, some couldn't handle it and short circuited in which they lost their heads before the spinning stopped, while GoGo zoomed by and cuts down the other spinning Manelings with her forearm magne-discs.

Applejack pulls out a couple of horseshoes and buck-kicks them each at a Maneling, then wrangles four more with her lasso and sends them flying at Wasabi, who slices them into pieces with those laser blades of his. Honey Lemon dodges laser fire and stops several Manelings in their place with her freezing chem-balls, since it's too risky using the exploding kind in a closed space, leaving them for Rarity as she uses a giant vacuum construct to suck up those immobilized Manelings and launched them out the window.

Spike draws some Manelings to him and they chase him to the other side of the room, only for it to be a trap as FredZilla pops up inbetween Spike and the Manelings and knocks the Manelings away with a mighty spout of fire. Rainbow zaps some Manelings with shots of lightning from her lightning bolt necklace while Baymax covers her with firing his rocket fists at more Manelings, which ricochet multiple times against plenty of others before returning to him. This fight was going smoothly yet the heroes can't seem to put a big enough of a dent in their numbers. But after dicing up two more Manelings, Wasabi quickly noticed Fluttershy hiding from behind a generator.

"Uh Fluttershy, now might be a really good time for you to get angry", said Wasabi, but Fluttershy regrettably nods no in response, "Not even a little bit angry?"

"I'm sorry, I just don't think I have any reason to get angry at all", said Fluttershy as a Maneling had a lock on her, and was about to open fire until a bird flew in from the window and bumps into the Maneling, in which it simply knocks the bird away, and it lands close to Fluttershy, who notices the little guy in pain and picks it up, "Oh, you poor little thing. Are you okay?", asked Fluttershy in which the bird looks up to her with a sad look it its eyes. Then Fluttershy looks back at the Manelings with a very angry look in her eyes, "You, you think that just because you're a bunch of evil robots, that gives you the right to hurt a sweet little bird?! You're all just a bunch of cruel jerks!! THERE! I SAID IT!!! WHAT MAKES YOU THINK YOU CAN GET AWAY WITH IT?!?!?!", yelled Fluttershy as her Sadle Rager powers finally kicked in, an in under a minute, she had transformed into her big and powerful rage-induced self, with bloodshot eyes filled with fury looking right at the Manelings, who simply just fired at Fluttershy, but her super tough skin allowed the lasers to bounce off harmlessly. Then Wasabi and everyone else stand back and watch as Fluttershy leaps in and starts smashing and bashing away at every last Maneling.

"I don't think I want to get her bad side", said Honey Lemon.

"You and me both sister", said Applejack.

"Yes! Smash away Fluttershy! Smash away!", yelled FredZilla in excitement as his fan boy instincts take over. And smash she did as Fluttershy tore away at those Manelings, from flattening six at once with two huge metal panels, to swatting away at four or five at a time, from knocking ten away with a sonic hoof stomp, to buck kicking three into nine more and straight through a wall, Fluttershy seemed to be a mighty force of nature, until her luck started to wear out. After finishing with a few more Manelings, Fluttershy turned her attention to the Mane-iac, who stayed on the sidelines and admired the show.

"FLUTTERSHY SMASH CRAZY HAIR PONY!!!!!", yelled Fluttershy with all her might as she made her way over to the Mane-iac, who seemed to be completely calm compared to the last time this happened. Just as Fluttershy was a few feet away from her target, Mane-iac simply clapped her hooves and a single Maneling came flying in through the window crazy fast and got inbetween Fluttershy and the Mane-iac. That's when the Maneling's mouth area opens up and sprays some weird pink cloud of smoke that engulfed Fluttershy instantly, then she smashes the Maneling and approaches the Mane-iac, but something's not right, Fluttershy appeared sleepy, moving slower and slower toward the Mane-iac, and then she falls to the ground fast asleep, and changes back quicker than when she transformed in the first place. The rest of the heroes are pretty shocked.

"Oh that's a big pile of not good", said Rainbow, followed by a hearty cackle by the Mane-iac.

"I knew Sadle Rager would eventually unleash her anger, so I decided to put together a little contingency plan! A little of my Anti-Rage formula and in less than a minute she's sleeping like a baby! There goes your secret weapon heroes!", shouted Mane-iac, followed by Spike and FredZilla rushing over to help Fluttershy, but then a flying energy cage swoops in out of nowhere and entraps all three of them, then it flies them over to the Mane-iac.

"Twilight help!", shouted Spike from within the cage.

"Spike!", shouted Twilight as she could see the fear in the little guy's eyes.

"Okay, it's slightly less awesome than it was a few minutes ago", said FredZilla.

"Hey! Give us back our friends!", shouted Rainbow as she charged in only to get knocked away by one of Mane-iac's hair tentacles, "Ow, had enough yet?"

"It's pointless to try to get close! Just see if you can get her with a distance attack!", shouted Hiro as Baymax fires his rocket fists, but Mane-iac knocks them back right at Baymax, Twilight and Rarity even worked together as Rarity formed a giant slingshot construct and Twilight formed a freezing orb with her horn, then Rarity launched it straight at Mane-iac, who leaps out of the way at at the heroes bringing a couple huge hair tentacles down on them, forcing them to scatter. Wasabi even fires a few lasers from his laser blades, but they seemed to just bounce of those hair tentacles, showing how strong those things are. The heroes were going to make another move until reinforcements came, twice as many Manelings than the ones they fought.

"I can't believe I'm saying this, but we need to retreat!", shouted Twilight, which surprised the others.

"But we can't leave those three behind!", shouted Rainbow.

"If we stay, we're all prisoners Rainbow!", shouted Applejack.

"Exactly! Baymax, make us an exit!", shouted Hiro.

"Understood", said Baymax as he knocks a big enough hole in the wall with a rocket fist.

"Everyone move!", shouted Twilight as they all ran and fought their way out the building, Hiro was the last one out before he turned back to the Mane-iac to make a point. 

"This isn't over. Not by a long shot", said Hiro before the Mane-iac had a hair tentacle shoot straight at Hiro, who leaped right out thanks to his microbots. But just as Hiro left, that hair tentacle that shot right at him moved quickly enough to grab a single microbot, and brings it close to Mane-iac, who smirked in response.

"*chuckles* why my dear boy, it hasn't even begun!", shouted the Mane-iac followed by a sinister laughter echoing throughout the whole place. Things really seemed bleak for the heroes, they were led into a trap, they couldn't stop the Mane-iac there and now, even Spike, Fluttershy and FredZilla ended up captured and are now in the clutches of the enemy. Now, with one of Hiro's microbots in her possession, the Mane-iac seems to have everything she needs to make the city fall before her. Will the heroes be able to stop the Mane-iac and her reign of terror? Will good triumph over evil? Will I ever decide if burgers are better than burritos? Stay tuned true believers!


> I Am Satisfied With My Care
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Last time we left the Mane 6, they had formed an alliance with with Big Hero 6, the super hero team of San Fransokyo, as their own superhero personas the Power Ponies to defeat the Mane-iac once again. After escaping her clutches, the heroes all hide out in the Big Hero 6 secret headquarters, where they introduce each other, and discuss their current situation regarding the city. But then an alarm goes off, revealing a break in at the latest Krei Tech facility, believing that the Mane-iac was planning on using any of the new tech over there to her advantage. The heroes leap into action and make their way to the facility, but once they've arrived, they notice how the place seemed to lack any tech, until they discover too late that the place was already emptied out and the Mane-iac used the place to set a trap for them, surrounding them with a hoard of Manelings. The heroes fight back, and seemed to be on the verge of victory when the Maneling numbers were thinned out thanks to Fluttershy and her rage-induced form, until the Mane-iac hits Fluttershy with a spray that puts her to sleep and reverts back to her regular form and captures her along with Spike and FredZilla. The heroes fight back against the Mane-iac to save their friends only for the Mane-iac to give them quite a hard time, and things grew bleaker when she calls for more Manelings. The heroes were forced to retreat and save their three friends later, but as they made their escape, the Mane-iac snatches one of Hiro's microbots, and stares at it with a wicked smirk on her face followed by an evil laugh. Now, the heroes must gather all their resolve as their final confrontation with the Mane-iac rests just over the horizon. The final chapter begins now!
------

The heroes were able to make it back to the secret HQ without much trouble, but as they sat around for a couple of hours figuring out their next move, they were definitely troubled by the fact that they were forced to leave Spike, FredZilla and Fluttershy behind in the clutches of the Mane-iac. Now, they could barely keep focused on the mission at hand, fearing what will become of the captured trio.

"I'm sick of waiting around! We gotta go out there and save our pals!", shouted a very frustrated Rainbow as she flew around the main hub back and forth.

"None of us can stand this Dashie, but if we just leap head first out there we're gonna get whooped real bad", said Applejack.

"Speaking of head first, that's exactly the mistake we made at the research facility: we just rushed in there without a plan of attack and the Mane-iac was counting on that. And because of that, we lost Fluttershy, Spike and Fred to her", said Hiro.

"He's right Rainbow, we need to be smart about this. I wanna save our friends as much as you do, but we'll lose the city if we go in unprepared", said Twilight, and Rainbow responds with a groan.

"I'm just saying we sneak up on that psycho and take her down before she sees us coming!", shouted Rainbow while imitating some Kung-Fu moves.

"Easier said than done Rainbow, that monstrosity of a hairstyle of hers will make getting close to her very, very difficult, and that's including her viscous robot army", said Rarity grimly, and a couple of minutes go by before that actually gives Hiro some sort of an idea, one that might even the odds in their favor.

"Rarity, you've just given me a great idea!", shouted Hiro as he ran toward one of the other doors.

"Well, I do have that sort of effect on most and I do so amazingly. Wait, what are you talking about?", asked Rarity, just as confused as the others.

"Just give me a few minutes! Trust me!", shouted Hiro as he rushed into the room he was headed for. A few minutes seemed more like a few hours, with the others waiting for Hiro to emerge from that one room. Of course, a majority of them were bored out of their minds.

"Yeah Hiro, you'll give us a few MINUTES at best", said Rainbow sarcastically as she and GoGo were playing cards, Rainbow throws in four kings and an ace, but GoGo throws in four aces and a king, winning that little match, much to Rainbow's dismay, "What's he doing in there anyway?!"

"The room Hiro entered is our personal laboratory. This would indicate Hiro is working on a new project", said Baymax.

"And what sort of project would he be working on?", asked Applejack.

"Is it some super duper ultimate piñata project?!", shouted Pinkie with eagerness and hopped around the place, with most of the others giving her a confused look.

"I really don't think he's working on something like that Pinkie", said Wasabi.

"Then what IS he working on?", asked Twilight.

"Not sure, but take it from us, whenever Hiro runs into the lab, it's usually something good", said GoGo, and before long, Hiro emerged from the lab pushing a little cart with some strange gadgets included.

"I'm finally finished! Take a look guys", said Hiro as the others gather around to further examine the devices.

"Ah got exactly no idea what the heck these things are for", said Applejack.

"Yes Hiro, what are these trinkets you built?", asked Rarity.

"I've had my helmet designed to scan and record our performance during a mission, and I take the data and use it to make some adjustments to our gear for an even better job next time", said Hiro.

"That's so cool!", shouted Pinkie.

"Seriously? I actually had a tough time staying awake after the helmet part", said Rainbow.

"And I'm guessing that's where these gadgets come in?", asked Twilight.

"Exactly! I took the recorded data from your performance back at the facility and used it to put together these amplifier collars for each of you", said Hiro.

"Amplifier collars? Neat! What do they do?", asked Pinkie.

"They're called amplifier collars, what do you think they do?", asked GoGo.

"Take our superpowers and amplify them at a point where we can do some super duper stuff we couldn't do on our own by a hundred? Either that they have something to do with pie. Mmm! Pie!", shouted Pinkie, with everyone else very surprised.

"That's actually true, except that part about pie", said Hiro.

"Whoa  wait, so these things are gonna make us stronger?", asked Rainbow.

That's the point. Here put them on", said Hiro as the Power Ponies each grabbed a collar matching their main color and attached around their necks.

"So what do get with these bad boys?", asked Rainbow.

"Here's the deal: Twilight, you'll be able to fire a massive barrage of any of your Rays, like a barrage of ice beams that'll freeze or destroy most Manelings. Rainbow, you'll be able to chain your lightening strikes to multiple targets and add some lightening to your tornadoes. Applejack, your horseshoes will be tuned to the Manelings like a magnet, so when you toss them they'll split up, cling onto some Manelings and fly right at each other, smashing them on impact. Rarity, along with increased damage for your constructs, you can fire concentrated beams from your jewelry. Pinkie, you'll be able to run right through some Manelings and it'll override their programming, making them attack the others. For Fluttershy, she'll get some increased strength but also have great speed to match her raw power, but not as fast as you Pinkie", said Hiro.

"I can always give Fluttershy a ride later anyway", said Pinkie.

"Now you're speaking my language dude!", shouted Rainbow and she and the others were very drawn into their new gadgets, until Twilight noticed a little jet pack that was left on the cart.

"Is that for Spike?", asked Twilight.

"Yeah, figured I'd give Spike a way to get in on the action", said Hiro, but before he could go on, the danger alert system goes off again.

"Not again! What on Earth is it this time?!", shouted Rarity as Hiro checked on the monitor, and pulls up a live feed for the others to see. From the looks of it, there's some strange activity happening in a rather large city park.

"Whoa Nelly, what kind of park gets that big?", asked Applejack.

"That's Boulevard Park, the biggest park in the city, we have a huge reputation for that too", said Honey Lemon.

"So we've noticed, what's the situation?", asked Twilight.

"Give me a sec", said Hiro as he scanned the park, and found the source of the disturbance: the Mane-iac setting up a large and strange device right in the center of the park with a huge number of Manelings on guard, "Seems like the Mane-iac is putting together some kind of machine, from the looks of it, she's been working on this thing at a fast rate while keeping it hidden".

"What's it supposed to do anyway?", asked Rainbow.

"Not sure, I'm going to need an actual up close look at that thing to be sure", said Hiro.

"Wait, Hiro, zoom in on that area just close to the machine", said Twilight as Hiro did what was requested of him, the magnified image clears up, revealing it to be the captured trio of Spike, FredZilla and Fluttershy, " *gasp* it's them! Our friends!"

"What in heaven's name is she going to do with them?", asked Rarity.

"Let's just be lucky that she hasn't destroyed them yet", said GoGo.

"Fair point. So what's the plan, partners?", asked Applejack.

"We still don't know what that machine is supposed to do, as soon as we reach the park, you guys have to keep the Mane-iac and her army distracted long enough for me to study the machine closely and figure out a way to shut it down", said Hiro.

"And the others?", asked Rarity.

"They'll be our first priority, last thing we is the Mane-iac using them to slow us down. Now let's roll out!", shouted Hiro while thrusting his fist into the air, followed by an awkward silence from the others.

"I think that's already taken", said Twilight as Hiro felt ridiculous.

"Right. Let's go", said Hiro as the heroes rushed to the elevator, reached the surface, charged out the doors and made their way to the park as quickly as possible, but were attracting some Manelings that were flying around.

"Shouldn't we deal with those guys before we reach the park?", asked Rainbow, with the Manelings opening fire on them while they dodged their shots as best as they could.

"No that's just it, I need you guys to get as many Manelings focused on you as long as it takes until I deal with the machine", said Hiro, it took them about twelve minutes to reach their destination.

"Take a gander y'all, we're here!", shouted Applejack as the heroes were within range of the park, and the ponies were surprised by how it really seemed bigger than they thought it'd be. 

"Now that's a park", said Rainbow with slight awe. That's when she spotted the machine in the very center, just as big and tall as a three story building, along with the energy cage with Spike, Fluttershy and FredZilla close by, "Hey, there's the machine, and our friends!"

"Yeah but where's the Mane-iac?", asked Wasabi, as Baymax quickly scanned the entire park in seconds.

"My scans do not detect the presence of the Mane-iac in this location", said Baymax, and this made the others wonder if something isn't right.

"Hiro, you think she ran away?", asked GoGo.

"No, if this is her endgame, she's not gonna be gone for long. She show up sooner or later, right now we all now the plan, so let's get to work!", shouted Hiro as the group focused on what they had to do. They split up into two different groups. First, a majority of them were on creating a distraction, Twilight, Pinkie, GoGo, Honey Lemon, Applejack, Baymax and Rarity got the attention of nearly all the Manelings standing guard, including the ones that followed them to the park, and lured them as far from the machine as they could, and took them on while they were at it, and this was the time for the Power Ponies to test out the amplifying collars on these bots. 

Twilight unleashed a powerful laser attack that multiplied quickly into a mighty barrage that wiped out twenty Manelings in an instant. Rarity used constructs in the form of giant hair curlers along with a few copies of herself as the copies grabbed several Manelings and tossed them into the curlers as the bots wound up crushed crazy fast, while Baymax helps and punches and kicks around some Manelings and throws a few at the Rarity constructs that landed a single buck-kick and they were instantly obliterated. 

"Who says fashion isn't useful?", asked Rarity with some pride.

"Over 22% domestically and 29% worldwide of people argue that fashion is of no real use in everyday life other than applying confidence and a sense of pride", said Baymax, much to Rarity's dismay.

"That was just an expression darling", said Rarity.

"My apologies. In that case, fashion is very useful", said Baymax.

"*sighs* Forget what I said", said Rarity, meanwhile, GoGo speeds by and slices up a bunch of Manelings after Honey Lemon throws some freezing chem-balls to stop them in their tracks while also blowing up a few with the exploding type, and find some back-up with Pinkie as she zooms right through five Manelings, causing their programming to be altered as their eyes go green and start attacking all the other Manelings in that spot. The rest of that team were quite surprised.

"Well that was unexpected, even though it was supposed to be", said GoGo.

"That was just one thing the party was missing: guests!", shouted Pinkie.

"Yeah, we totally noticed that", said Honey Lemon. While that group were dealing with a majority of the Manelings far from the machine, the others, featuring Hiro, Rainbow and Wasabi, focused on studying the purpose of the machine while opening the energy cage with Spike, Fluttershy and FredZilla still inside, all with some Manelings still lingering around. Hiro unleashed his microbots, which formed several spikes, wiping out several Manelings. Wasabi slices and blasts at a bunch of them with his laser blades, and as for Rainbow, she activated her pendant and a stronger force of electricity charged it, and she unleashed a huge lightening chain attack that took out the remaining Manelings around the machine, allowing them to free their friends in peace.

"Any ideas on how we get this cage open? I don't see any off button", said Rainbow, with Hiro briefly examining the cage.

"The Mane-iac probably has the switch with her, but I have a better idea. Wasabi, position your left arm close to the energy field, and on my mark, you'll activate your laser blade", said Hiro as Wasabi understood what the dude had in mind, while Rainbow was a bit clueless on this.

"Haha! I gotcha", said Wasabi as he positioned his left arm the way Hiro asked.

"I don't get what's happening", said Rainbow.

"You'll see. On three. One. Two. Three!", shouted Hiro as Wasabi fired up his laser blade crazy fast, having the blade stuck halfway through the field, then the field deactivates shortly afterwards. Then Spike and Fluttershy leap out and greet Rainbow with a big hug while FredZilla does the same with Wasabi and Hiro.

"I'm so glad you guys came back for us!", shouted Spike.

"Hey, pals don't leave pals hanging", said Rainbow.

"Totally excited to see you bros again!", shouted FredZilla, while Wasabi and Hiro have a strained look in their face as if they're in pain.

"Gee, thanks Fred, for the hug you know, also it was the least we could do. We're a team after all", said Hiro in a strained tone.

"Totally!", shouted FredZilla as he hugged tighter, much to the dismay of those two.

"Yeah, no problem. Now...please stop hugging us", said Wasabi also in a strained tone.

"Come on, there's plenty more love where that came from!", shouted FredZilla as he hugged even tighter.

"Seriously stop. You're crushing us dude", said Wasabi, then FredZilla noticed the look on their faces, realized his mistake and stopped, with Hiro and Wasabi catching their breath and getting the feeling back in their, well backs.

"Sorry dudes! Must've forgotten my suit has some super strength with it", said FredZilla.

"Ya think? Anyway at least we're alive", said Wasabi, then something caught Spike's attention, and not in a good way.

"*gulps* Yeah, but not for long! Incoming!", shouted Spike as the rest of that group spot some more Manelings converging onto their position, they have at least a couple of minutes.

"That's a bad thing!", said Wasabi as Hiro pulls out the little jet pack and straps it on Spike.

"Is this for me?!", shouted Spike with excitement in his eyes.

"You bet it is. Now go take care of those Manelings while I study the machine", said Hiro.

"Well, just one problem: we're gonna need Fluttershy's help here. So Fluttershy, now would be a really good time for you to get angry", said Spike, but clearly Fluttershy wasn't feeling it.

"Seriously, you're not feeling angry right now?!", demanded Wasabi in nervousness as the extra Manelings got closer and closer.

"Sorry, not really", said Fluttershy grimly, and Wasabi and Spike find their teeth chattering, until Rainbow steps in to talk to Fluttershy.

"I got this. Hey Fluttershy, I hate to tell you this, but I heard the Mane-iac say that she's gonna take a trip to the zoo and pick on the baby penguins after this machine does whatever it does", said Rainbow as Fluttershy gets a shocked look on her face.

"Wait what are you doing?", asked Wasabi.

"Wait for it", said Rainbow.

"The baby penguins? As in the ever super cuddly and very adorable little fluffy baby penguins?", asked Fluttershy desperately and sadly.

"Pretty much", said Rainbow casually.

"Oh no, I see where this is going", said Wasabi uncomfortably.

"Exactly", said Rainbow confidently, followed by a very angry look on Fluttershy's face as Hiro sticks the amplifier collar on her, then she snaps.

"THOSE BIG, MEAN BULLIES!!!!!", yelled Fluttershy with great force as her Sadle Rager powers activate along with her collar, and she's not in her Hulk form for even ten seconds before she charges in on the new group of Manelings and starts tearing them apart one by one, with the others watching in terror. Fluttershy puts her new power from the collar to work as she tears some Manelings in half and smashes them up followed by a very powerful clap of her hooves unleashing a mighty wave of energy, blowing about twelve Manelings away and into pieces, "FLUTTERSHY SMASH PENGUIN HATING ROBOTS!!!!!"

"Even when I know it's gonna happen I still can't get used to that", said Wasabi nervously.

"You said it", said Spike.

"Hey! We should totally get in there and back her up!", shouted FredZilla, with Spike and Wasabi looking back at Fluttershy, continuously hopping on some crushed Manelings.

"I think she can handle this one guys", said Spike.

"Yeah but there'll be less for us to smash ourselves", said FredZilla.

"Good point. Let's go join her", said Spike as he flies off on his jet pack.

"Now we're talking!", shouted FredZilla as he super jumped in the same direction.

"Sometimes I wonder if I'm the only real sensible person on my team", said Wasabi.

"Hey, you gotta do what you gotta do", said Rainbow as she and Wasabi joined the others. Spike would fly around with his jet pack and draw in some Manelings while FredZilla leaps in and fires several fire balls completely obliterating them on contact and Wasabi gets in on it with slicing up some more Manelings. Rainbow chains in some lightening strikes on several Manelings and leave them frozen in their tracks just as Fluttershy smashes them together.

"FLUTTERSHY IS STRONGEST THERE IS!!!!!", yelled Fluttershy as she buck kicks a couple of Manelings with great force.

"Heck yeah you are!", shouted Rainbow as she followed her friend's lead. Meanwhile, Hiro can finally study the machine in peace, but not too long.

"Alright let's see what we got here. Really high energy levels coming from inside the machine, indicating its got a strong internal power source. The outer layer is made up of some titanium and a few other strong metals and it's four inches thick so busting through or even using a high power laser is out of the question. Looks like there's some pressure indicators on the side of this thing. Oh no", said Hiro to himself grimly, as he figured out what's the purpose of this machine, "Guys! I know what this machine's supposed to do!"

"Is it a bomb?! A bigger killer robot?!", asked Spike as he and his little group dealt with those Manelings.

"That's just it! This isn't any of those things!", yelled Hiro, who had to leap out of the way and away from the machine when the host of this mad party finally showed her face once again.

"Precisely! This isn't a bomb or a robot, but my grand MASTERPIECE!!!!", yelled the Mane-iac followed by a maniacal laughter. After finishing with those Manelings, all the heroes gathered together again to face the Mane-iac, in all her insane hair tentacle greatness. Fluttershy was the most eager to start the fight, as her Hulk form hadn't forgotten how the Mane-iac lured her into that trap back at the research facility.

"FLUTTERSHY SMASH MANE-IAC!!!! MANE-IAC TRICK FLUTTERSHY WITH SMELLY GAS!!!! MANE-IAC TRY TO BULLY BABY PENGUINS!!!!", yelled Fluttershy, but Twilight was able to get her explosively tempered friend to hold her anger back for a moment.

"Fluttershy stand down! Not yet! Hiro, what did you find out about that machine?", asked Twilight before catching that last thing Fluttershy yelled out, "Wait baby penguins?"

"Hey, had to get her mad somehow", said Rainbow.

"Fair enough", said Twilight.

"This machine might look like just a bomb to anyone, but this thing, based on its design, it's meant as a highly powerful aerosol delivery system", said Hiro, but some were confused.

"Some of us don't speak nerd", said Rainbow.

"This thing is built to release huge amounts of gas within a ten mile radius", said Hiro.

"Wait, gas?! As in the mind controlling kind of gas?!", demanded Spike in terror.

"I was kinda hoping that it'd be gas that smelled like cake frosting", said Pinkie.

"But still, mind control gas?!", demanded Rainbow.

"Exactly, that thing will blanket the whole city in this gas in seconds", said Hiro grimly, then the Mane-iac laughs again.

"My you are a clever boy! I figured it would take such a long time to bend the people of this city to my will, time I'll need to focus on other plans! Which is why I referred to mind control instead, it does save half the time if I do say do myself and I obviously do! So ever since I arrived, I've been able to set up a proper laboratory hidden in the city, and my Manelings have been going around gathering all the material I needed to put my master plan in action, and you all have been too busy hiding like the cowards you are to even notice!!! Once my machine unleashes the gas, this whole city will be willing to do my bidding without question, all in under a minute of course, and then when I'm done with this city, I'll set my sights on the rest of this world, an no one will ever be able to oppose me!!!", yelled the Mane-iac with yet another evil laugh following.

"Not on our watch you're not!", yelled Rainbow as she made a mad dash for the Mane-iac, but was suddenly blocked off by Hiro's microbots, and falls to the ground, "Hey Hiro! If you don't want to save the world, then don't bother being here at all!"

"That...wasn't me", said Hiro grimly as he, Rainbow and the others looked with fright at what's in front of them.

"Oh no. I believe this situation is not good", said Baymax.

"You got that right partner", said Applejack as the scene shifts and reveals that the microbots that blocked Rainbow came from the Mane-iac herself! And in the same manner as they would with Hiro, a bunch more gathered around the villain.

"*laughs* I'm so glad I came up with this bonus plan! I might not have been able to destroy you all back at the research facility, but I was still able to get a little something out of it", said the Mane-iac as she held out a single microbot, and then it hit Hiro right away.

"*groans* Of course! She snatched a microbot from me when we had to escape the facility!", shouted Hiro in frustration.

"Can't you just control them? They're still yours!", shouted Rainbow, and while he hesitated, Hiri tried to command the microbots the Mane-iac has to join up with the batch he already has, nothing happened.

"Did you really think it would be that easy?! I've had these microbots tuned to the frequency of this wristband! You'll never stop me!", shouted the Mane-iac as she was referring to the hi tech band on her left wrist.

"Well if you don't mind, we'll just keep trying thanks", said Hiro as the others charged into battle and went straight for the Mane-iac. The battle was fierce despite it only being at least ten minutes in; all the heroes tried everything they could, Baymax and Applejack fire a mix of rocket fists and horseshoes right at her, but the Mane-iac swats them away with a hair tentacle and knocks those two away with a microbot wave. Pinkie and GoGo, being the two speediest of the bunch, dash right at the Mane-iac with Twilight and Rainbow distracting her with a barrage of heat rays and lightening bolts while she blocks them off with her microbots, only for her microbots to launch them right up into the air, but luckily Twilight and Rainbow swoop right in and catch them in time.

"Can we do that again?!", shouted Pinkie.

"I vote no", said GoGo, meanwhile the fight still wasn't going so well for the heroes. Rarity uses a giant hair dryer construct to try to literally blow away the Mane-iac despite the villain struggling against it, and Spike flies all around her like an obnoxious house fly while FredZilla and Wasabi fire a stream of fire and lasers at her, but the Mane-iac defends herself well with a microbot barricade, then swats them away with her hair tentacles, grabs Spike and throws him right into Rarity, which wasn't so bad since he was thrown right into the arms of his love interest.

"I am so sorry I didn't make something to catch you Spike", said Rarity, but found Spike staring at her with heart shaped eyes and a smile.

"Fine by me", said Spike calmly, then a giant microbot pillar that came down on them fast ruined the mood, luckily they got out of the way. And then there was Hiro, Fluttershy and Honey Lemon, with Honey Lemon throwing as many of her chem-balls at her target as possible, but the Mane-iac either swats them out of the way or destroys them on contact with those hair tentacles, but that's when she notices Fluttershy charging right at her.

"FLUTTERSHY SMASH!!!!", yelled Fluttershy as she collided with the Mane-iac and hair tentacles, and the two seemed evenly matched, until the Mane-iac actually knocks Fluttershy away with a block of microbots with great ease and into a few trees. Now it fell to Hiro facing this villain himself. In an instant, Hiro unleashed a wave of various microbot attacks against the Mane-iac, who returned the favor. The microbots belonging to these two combatants clashed so hard that so many of the microbots flew in separate directions, even they seemed evenly matched until the Mane-iac pulls a dirty move. The Mane-iac commands some of her microbots to act as armor for two of her hair tentacles, thrusts one of them at Hiro, who tries to block it off with a little microbot wall, but the attack leaves a big hole there, destroying the microbots in that spot, surprising Hiro. The Mane-iac then thrusts both armored hair tentacles at Hiro multiple times, Hiro defends himself or goes on the attack, but he's rapidly losing his own microbots. Luckily, Baymax swoops in and helps Hiro fall back when he lands a punch on a hair tentacle, but was knocked away, good thing his own armor was stronger, otherwise the Mane-iac would've turned it into a soup can. 

"Fools! You'll never be able to get anywhere near me! And with my own microbots under my command, I will not be opposed!", yelled the Mane-iac, followed by, yet again, another evil laugh. The heroes regrouped to think of another move.

"How in the world do we beat her? We can't even touch her!", shouted Rarity.

"We have to think of something, otherwise that machine's gonna go off and it's game over", said GoGo.

"I say we charge at her while she doesn't expect it and bash away", said Rainbow.

"Ooo! We can charge at her with this peace cake I got!", shouted Pinkie as she quickly held out a delicious chocolate cake that she definitely didn't have before.

"Wait where'd you get...you know what? Forget it, dumb question", said Rainbow.

"FLUTTERSHY SMASH AND BASH BABY PENGUIN BULLY!!!!", yelled Fluttershy after pounding the ground.

"Wow she's really hung up on that isn't she?", asked Wasabi.

"Yeah I know I went too far with the whole penguin thing", said Rainbow.

"If Fluttershy is willing to provide information, I will contact a suitable therapist for a virtual consultation to lower her anger levels to a more manageable state", said Baymax.

"FLUTTERSHY NO NEED DOCTOR!!!!! FLUTTERSHY FINE!!!!!", yelled Fluttershy at Baymax, who was obviously unmoved by that.

"It is alright to yell. Yelling is an efficient way to relieve anger and frustration", said Baymax.

"Here, have some cake!", shouted Pinkie as she tossed the cake to Fluttershy, who ate it in one gulp, followed by a burp, a big smelly one.

"STILL ANGRY!!!!", yelled Fluttershy.

"I'm gonna need more cake", said Pinkie.

"We're trying to save the city and y'all are worrying about cake going in head first?!", demanded Applejack.

"Cake is no joke! There's always time for cake!", shouted Pinkie.

"And besides, I don't see YOU coming up with any good ideas!", shouted Rainbow.

"I actually want a milkshake right now, extra thick!", shouted FredZilla, followed by a brief argument between them all, until Hiro looked back at the machine for a moment, and realized what he had to do!

"That's it! I know how to beat her! Guys, listen up!", shouted Hiro as the others were slowly starting to calm down and listen.

"Oh, you're gonna want cake?", asked Pinkie.

"Again with cake? Seriously?", asked GoGo.

"You have no idea", said Spike.

"Not cake, the machine, I think I know how we can shut it down, but I need time, and some backup of course", said Hiro, and the others knew what they had to do.

"That depends, how much time do you need?", asked Twilight.

"About ten minutes, that's how long we have until the machine is fully charged up", said Hiro, and everyone else nodded in agreement with Twilight.

"Alright, will keep you covered while you stop the machine, we're counting on you", said Twilight with confidence.

"Hey, you ponies still have no idea what I can do", said Hiro jokingly.

"Alright team, let's do this!", shouted Twilight As everyone prepared themselves for this showdown of epic proportions.

"What were you planning?!", demanded the Mane-iac.

"Oh you'll find out soon enough", said Hiro, them the Mane-iac looked back to her machine for a moment then turns back to them.

"While I have complete confidence that my machine WILL unleash the gas cloud, I won't let you meddle with my glorious machine regardless!!", yelled the Mane-iac as she was the first to attack, but the heroes split up and Hiro made a mad dash for the machine, interacted with the control panel and got to work. The Mane-iac noticed right away and tried to reach for him, but the other heroes were on the case as they worked hard giving everything they had just to keep this villain far from Hiro, and that got her furious as she made a move that would really push the heroes to the limit.

"All remaining Manelings converge on the park at once! Protect the machine at all costs!", shouted the Mane-iac as she used some earpiece to send out her orders, and immediately, practically every remaining Maneling were flying straight for the machine, for Hiro, and it was a lot, A LOT, of Manelings. The heroes knew what to do, and not long did it take for the center of the park to explode into complete chaos!

It was completely crazy! From slicing to fire blasting, from smashing to flying, punching to zapping, speeding to leaping, horseshoes to heat rays, that very center of the park was practically a war zone.

"There's way too many of these things!", shouted Wasabi.

"FLUTTERSHY NOT CARE!!!! FLUTTERSHY SMASH THEM ALL!!!", yelled Fluttershy.

"Keep it up! We need to buy Hiro some more time!", shouted Twilight among all the fighting.

"That's what you think!", shouted the Mane-iac as she went for Hiro again, but the others were able to multi-task and still kept the Mane-iac far from Hiro. But as ten whole minutes went by, everyone started to notice something strange about the machine, as if it's...activating.

"NO!!!", yelled Twilight in disparity.

"YES!!!", yelled the Mane-iac with joy as the machine begun shifting into its activation mode, "Watch heroes! Watch as your failure becomes a mark that will forever be etched into this city for years to come! The Mane-iac will finally rule all!!", yelled the Mane-iac with another evil laugh, and the others notice Hiro was just standing there next to the control panel.

"Dude what are you doing?!", demanded Wasabi.

"Do you want to lose it all partner?!", demanded Applejack, but Hiro seemed as calm as he could be.

"Wait for it", said Hiro.

"Wait for what?! For this nut-job to take over?!", demanded Rainbow, and then Twilight stepped in and kept them off Hiro's back.

"Guys stop, Hiro knows what he's doing. We have to trust him", said Twilight.

"Thanks Twilight", said Hiro, and that was enough for the others to give it a shot and trust Hiro, but the Mane-iac found this hilariously dumb.

"*laughs* You all are truly fools! Now watch as the Mane-iac claims her ultimate victory!", yelled the Mane-iac with more joy, and the machine was in its final mode and was about to disperse the mind control gas. But as the machine was about to start spouting the gas, it started to act strange, it was wobbling a lot, it couldn't disperse the gas, then it happened. The machine unleashed a huge wave of energy that spread throughout the entire park, and all of a sudden, all the Manelings were completely shut off, as they fell out if the sky crazy fast like rocks, even the microbots belonging to the Mane-Iac were deactivated, same even went with Hiro's own microbots, completely deactivated, then at last, the machine itself simply tumbled in on itself, even the mind control gas was gone, leaving nothing but a worthless pile of metal in front of them. This led to the heroes briefly celebrating this victory of theirs thanks to their own efforts and that of Hiro, but as the Mane-iac was literally standing their in shock with her mouth hanging open, she finally snapped, "AAAHHHHH!!!!!! YOU IDIOTS!!!!!! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!?!?!?! MY GLORIOUS PLANS FOR CONQUEST ARE ALL GONE!!!!!", yelled the Mane-iac in utter sadness and anger, mostly anger.

"It's simple really: you designed this thing so that we couldn't just trash it, so I went for a different move, one you didn't count on at all. I got at this thing's main functions and played around with the power source. I couldn't just shut it off just like that, so I tried turning this thing in a giant electro magnetic pulse generator, while having the radius spread throughout the park only, since I knew you'd try to have all your Manelings show up to stop me, your Manelings, our microbots, even your machine ended up getting shut down for good. And because the pulse was so powerful, your machine's inner workings couldn't take it, so it literally fell in on itself, even destroying the gas it contained", explained Hiro.

"I didn't understand a thing he said", said Rainbow.

"Rainbow!", shouted Applejack.

"I'm kidding I got all that, this time anyway. Hang on, if the pulse thing was supposed to turn off any piece of tech around the park, how come our stuff still works?", asked Rainbow.

"That's the one upgrade I never had a chance to install in the microbots' programming, they were completely vulnerable to an EMP pulse, so your tech is fine", said Hiro.

"Well Hiro, I gotta hand it to you, you impress us yet again", said GoGo.

"Way to go Hiro!", shouted Honey Lemon.

"Glad I trusted you, huh?", asked Twilight, and Hiro chuckled a bit.

"Yeah, I am, thanks for that", said Hiro.

"This calls for a party!", shouted Pinkie as she pulled out a party whistle out of nowhere and blows hard.

"Hold it, first things first. You're beaten Mane-iac, you've lost your army, your own microbots, and your super weapon, it's over", said Hiro firmly, and the Mane-iac clearly couldn't stand this at all.

"So it's over huh? I suppose it is for now. I guess I'll have to retreat and come up with another world conquering plan. But...I plan on destroying all of you before I leave!!", yelled the Mane-iac as she unleashed her hair tentacles upon the heroes as they scatter, "You won't be able to defend yourself little boy! Not without your microbots, and I've shown I already have the power to end you all!"

"True, but we have the heart. And besides, even when me and my team first started out, I didn't always rely on my microbots, I relied on my friends", said Hiro as Baymax swoops in and Hiro attached to his back and the two flew back to the others.

"So what's our next move? We still can't get close to her when she's got those hair tentacles backing her up", said Rainbow.

"I thought about that too, and that's the beauty of it: we'll use her own hair to beat her! Follow my lead", said Hiro as the others nodded in agreement.

"We'll follow you anywhere", said Twilight, then the heroes split up. Twilight, Rainbow, Rarity, Spike and Hiro and Baymax swooped around the Mane-iac and unleashed several attacks while keeping a safe distance from her own attacks. Then, FredZilla and Honey Lemon attack from the sides and leap out of the way with every counter attack thrown at them. Next, Pinkie, GoGo, Wasabi and Applejack attack the Mane-iac themselves and even lure her hair tentacles in certain directions around and around, and eventually the Mane-iac was shocked to find herself tied up in a huge knot of her own hair, and for the grand finale, Fluttershy comes charging in and knocks the Mane-iac into some trees very hard, think of it as payback for hitting her with that knockout gas before. Even when she's finally beaten she still laughing like crazy, she's snapped alright.

"I told you guys I had a plan", said Hiro.

"THAT, was a pretty great plan", said Rainbow, and at last, the city was safe, the heroes had won the day and they celebrated like crazy, even Pinkie brought in some party favors from out of nowhere and passed them around, thanks to super speed that is. A few hours later, the people had gathered at city hall, the mayor was just done giving the usual grand speech and the heroes were lined up and stood proudly, luckily Fluttershy had already changed back to normal otherwise her other form would've wrecked the front steps.

"That said, I'm proud to properly thank our own saviors Big Hero 6 and their friends the Power Ponies! Thank you all for everything", said the mayor, followed by a huge cheer from the huge crowd as each of the heroes were given a medal in their honor, "SanFransokyo will forever be grateful for your duties".

"It was no trouble mr.mayor, you're welcome", said Hiro as the others celebrated as well, and like Pinkie promised, she quickly gathered party supplies and the heroes had the time of their lives. Some hours later, they all gathered outside of the Tadashi Hamada building, saying their goodbyes, and the ponies returned their gear they from Hiro.

"If there's ever any trouble like what we had to put up with and you guys show up again, we'll hold on to these for you", said Hiro.

"Thanks for those, and who knows, we might see each other again", said Twilight.

"Hey, never say never", said Hiro, then Twilight got confirmation from her group as she was able to open up a proper dimensional portal, everyone says goodbye one last time but then Baymax does the same thing he did when the ponies first arrived.

"You have been good girls. Have a lollipop", said Baymax as he held out a lollipop yet again from out of nowhere.

"Don't mind if I do!", shouted Pinkie as she ate the sweet treat in a single bite just like before. Then the ponies say bye yet again and leap through the portal, with the Mane-iac in tow, just as it vanishes.

I will miss them", said Baymax.

"Same here buddy, same here", said Hiro, meanwhile back in Ponyville, within the library of Twilight's castle, the Mane 6 and Spike return all safe and sound, and as expected, out of their Power Pony personas and the Mane-iac has vanished no doubt back into her comic book world.

"Hooeee! Now that was one might fine adventure!", shouted Applejack.

"Definitely super mega cool! Cupcakes any pony?", asked Pinkie holding out a tray of cupcakes.

"Wait how, you know what? Never mind", said Rainbow, considering that we have a pretty good idea how Pinkie got those. Then Spike makes a startling discovery in the comic book that started this whole thing.

"Guys come quick! Check out the pages of the comic!", shouted Spike.

"Just want the hay is it Spike?", asked Applejack as she and the other ponies gathered around and saw with their own surprise as they gasp at once.

"My word! Is this...us?", asked Rarityas the pages each reveal everything they did in San Fransokyo down to the part where they come back home.

"Mind blown", said Rainbow.

"Mind double blown!", shouted Pinkie.

"Ah guess we did decide the ending of this here comic after all", said Applejack.

"Yay", said Fluttershy in her usual shy manner.

"Although I must say I feel quite awful that we left before we could offer to help Big Hero 6 with cleaning up all those rotten Manelings all over the park, and around the city", said Rarity, then Twilight thought something to herself as she stood in the center of the room.

"I get the feelings they won't have to worry about that", said Twilight.

"How do you know?", asked Rainbow.

"Call it a hunch", said Twilight smirking as she and the others gathered for a mission success group hug. Meanwhile back in SanFransokyo, Big Hero 6 were standing just in the center of the park, staring with despair at the seemingly endless mess of deactivated Manelings all over the place.

"This might take a while", said Honey Lemon.

"I'm into keeping things clean, but even this is too much for me", said Wasabi.

"It is alright. We simply must consult the twenty basic rules of sanitation", said Baymax.

"We might die before we even get to rule three!", shouted FredZilla.

"Actually that'd be you Fred", said GoGo.

"Alright guys, no one said this'd be easy, but we've dealt with worse before, so this'll be no different", said Hiro as they were about to get started until all the Manelings started glowing and then vanished like they were never there to begin with. And the team is quite surprised.

"It's a gift from the gods! Thank you! You rock!", shouted FredZilla.

"Anyone wanna guess how that happened?", asked Hiro.

The ponies?", asked GoGo.

"Pretty much. Well, no mess and no danger going on right now. Anyone feeling for a pizza?", asked Hiro and then.

"YES!!", yelled FredZilla with joy.

"Race ya to the pizza place across town?", asked Hiro.

"You're on", said GoGo as everyone geared up.

"Let's ride!", shouted Hiro as they all rode off into the sunset, for some pizza. And that concludes our story people. This was the great team up event known as Big Mane 6!

"That's all folks!", shouted Pinkie in a Looney Tunes manner.
