A couple of humans, robots and ponies team up to save both worlds from a fusing and a bunch of monsters. But is Equestria ready for Mike and the bots?
A MST3K/MLP: FIM crossover. The gang of MST3K end up crashing in Equestria and by doing so, both their universe is merging with the ponies'. Now the gang has to find the Elements of Harmony before everything is permanent.
Note: This isn't a Mst3k fic where they sit and make fun of bad movies. Nope, this is an adventure one so no need to worry about violations, folks.
It is a hot day in the Equestrian wasteland. There doesn't appears to be anything for mile...the place is quiet...too quiet...
That is until something zooms overhead, screeching: a huge deadly flying mantis who is chasing down some creatures, ready to eat them. Twilight and her friends scream as they run off...alongside three humans and four robots, one of them is flying while filming apparently.
"AHHHHH! WE'RE DEAD IN THE DESERT!!!!" One of the robots, a gumball machine, exclaims frantically.
"It's a bug hunt, man, a bug hunt!" A golden robot whines a bit like mad.
"Rarity, look out!" Spike screams in alarm.
Rarity looks up, screaming as the Deadly Mantis flew down and is prepared to grab her...
Then the screen froze as we hear Pinkie's voice, "Hi there, folks! You're wondering why me and my friends are running from a huge bug in the desert...and who the funny humans and robots are."
We see an image of one human's face, looking liking freaked out and ugly. But then again, you would if you have to deal with a giant bug!
"Yep, some of us are wondering too. To help you folks get up to speed, let's go back to the beginning...to a certain time in Twilight Sparkle's age."
------------
It was years ago in Canterlot when Nightmare Moon was still trapped on the moon, the Elements of Harmony haven't been received yet...and a little filly unicorn is still trying to practice her power while under the tutorship of the most beautiful and wisest creature in Equestria.
Twilight of course is reading a book, looking through it curiously. It involves a book of prophecies and there's one in it that seems to satisfy her a bit.
"Twilight Sparkle?" A voice spoke up. The filly turns to see Celestia coming over, looking down at the filly (which is obvious because the Alicorn is huge). "May I ask what you're reading?"
"A book of prophecies. One of them confuses me." Twilight said in concern, looking through a book.
"Does it involve Nightmare Moon?"
"No. It's something called "The Fusing"."
"Oh, really?" Celestia ask, arching an eyebrow at this. "May I ask, what is it that confuses you about it?"
"This page: "One day, in an event like no other, beings from another world will come. But come their arrival, the separation of the Elements and the fusion of both worlds which will threaten the balance. Only the Elements could restore the balance"." Twilight explains as she reads through a page. "You think any of it is true, Princess Celestia?"
"I am not sure, my faithful student. Prophecies are known to happen or be stuff of legends. The fusing may happen, it may not. It depends on whatever or not they choose to happen."
"Like the legend involving Nightmare Moon? Is it real or stuff of legend?"
Celestia pauses and sighs secretly. The legend is indeed true: her sister Luna became Nightmare Moon long ago and was trapped on the moon since then. Legend said that the stars will help her escape. Celestia hopes that Twilight will make some new friends, get the Elements and free her sister from the bonds of the darkness and hatred.
"That will be spoken of for another time." Celestia said, nuzzling the little filly gently. "Come now, you got some studies to do."
Twilight nods as she puts the book of prophecies away. The filly follows the Alicorn to continue her studies, yet the prophecy involving "The Fusing" is in her mind. She wonders if it is true...and what would happened should the prophecy happen...
"Cute, but let's go to the present, shall we?"

In another dimension, we see a lot of monitors hanging around, but not one seemed to be interesting for our small watcher... instead, she would rather watch DVDs of an old show she liked.
"Man, what humor these robots brought!" The female voice said as she munched on some popcorn. "It does make me enjoy a few moments in life..."
It was then the mysterious figure turned and noticed one monitor. The mysterious figure smirked evilly. "Let's do a little mix-up once again... shall we?"
Mystery Pony Theater 3000
Prologue: A Crashing Arrival
It is another day at the home of Mike Nelson and his robot pals Crow T. Robot and Tom Servo. The trio has been living together ever since the Satellite of Love crash landed on Earth, plus allowing them all to escape Pearl Forrester as well as going through any more bad movies since then. Gypsy is the CEO of her own company but the friends do visit her every now and again.
The trio often sat on their butts, but Mike did do some work every now and again. Of course, they are bored...all the guys do every afternoon is watch movies, like Mike and his robot pals do every time the Mads or Pearl send them bad movies.
"Guys...I did some thinking." Mike said with a sigh to his friends.
"Mike thinking." Tom Servo remarks with a chuckle. "Watch out, he may explode."
"Very cute. Seriously, we have been being bored, sitting on our butts...well, you two mostly since I did work most of the day."
"Yeah, you keep on getting paid, we keep on eating and watching TV!" Crow exclaims happily, pointing at a bad performance on TV. "Oh bother. Look at that criminal on "World's Dumbest"! Pathetic."
"Guys, the only times we ever have excitement or do anything important is during our times on the Satellite of Love." Mike said with a sigh. "And I miss it."
"You actually missed watching bad films?! And being tormented by mad scientists, a crazy woman, a dumb monkey, and a brain guy nonstop?! Geez, no wonder you folks from Wisconsin are so clueless."
"Right, it makes me rethink living here, Mike." Tom Servo remarks, scoffing.
"All right, all right. Watching bad films wasn't a good idea. The point is, we have so many adventures in space. Down here on Earth, it's dull." Mike said with a frown. "With what's been happening, perhaps going back to an old environment would be useful."
"So what do you have in mind, Mike?" Crow ask the human as he got up, suspecting that Mike got some sort of idea for a change.
"I say we go up into space again...except this time, we choose the movies we wanna watch and go anywhere away from the planet. What do you guys say?"
"Yeah, all right! Road trip!" Tom Servo cheers on wildly, floating around with his hoverskirt.
"Yeah, I was getting bored watching this." Crow remarks in disgust as he clicks on the remote, shutting the TV off. "All we watched are "World's Dumbest" shows reruns. Good show but nothing new."
"Wait, Mike. How are we going to go up into space? We lost the Satellite of Love."
"I think Gypsy told us they got some project working at her company. Maybe we can talked her into lending us it." Mike said, rubbing his chin in thought. "In fact...I think of bringing in an "old friend" for old time's sake."
"Kim Cattrall?" Crow ask Mike with a grin.
"The Creepy Girl?!" Tom Servo ask, referring to the Creepy Girl from "Catalina Caper".
"Even better." Mike said with a chuckle, having something else in mind.
-------------------
Meanwhile, somewhere in a small house in the middle of Montana. An older woman with blonde hair, a smelly overcoat, tears that have had ruined make-up that seemed to have not been washed since... well, at least about six months ago. This woman was known as Pearl Forrester. And she had been quite an emotional wreck.
Oh, she had the best time of her life during her prime... taking over for her dead son's experiments, tormenting Mike and his friends whenever she needed to... and even made up some pretty good evil plans... even if some of them did blow up in her face sometimes... and while her sidekicks aren't much to talk about... she treated them with respect... most of the time.
Pearl groaned as she started to eat her ice cream up. Where did everything go wrong? How did one simple mistake on her end ended up in Mike Nelson's freedom? As much as she hated to admit it, at least her son wouldn't have made the same mistake...
Pearl then paused. Would it be good to bring Clayton back from the dead... again? She knew it wasn't worth the time to do so... but her actual interest in the experiments DID start the moment TV's Frank went into the Second Banana Heaven and she moved into Deep 13 with her son. She was with him for the experiments for at least a year before everything started to go awry... sure, Clayton Forrester died once, but came back to life as a Star Child, which Pearl did TRY to do so again... but that ultimately failed too and took over the experiments for herself... she paused as she smiled.
If it weren't for her son, she wouldn't have gotten so close to the experiment idea, forcing someone to go mad from watching bad movies, no matter what the outcome was... if only she had another chance to do that again...
Pearl slumped in her chair... she would never get that chance ever again...
Pearl then heard the slit of the mail slot opening as some letters dropped. She frowned as she got up. "Wonder what's the damage this time..."
Pearl got up as she picked up the mail, looking it over. She frowned as she looked at one letter, labeled, "ConGypsCo".
Looking at it nearly stabbed her heart. Yet another cold, heartless reminder that Mike and his robot friends were still on Earth...
She was about to throw it away... but then she noticed something interesting in that article... she looked closer at it.
Her eyes widened in shock... as she then smiled... her smile got bigger and bigger. She gave a big smirk as she pulled out her phone and dialed a number.
She waited for someone to answer as she heard the phone pick up. "Brain Guy? It's your old friend, Pearl!"
Pearl then frowned. "Yes, the woman that was with you back in the castle. What other Pearl Forrester do you know?"
Pearl then shook her head. "It doesn't matter. Could you find Bobo, pick him up, and come over here right away? There's something that should be of interest to all of you! Come over here as soon as you can!"
As Pearl hung up the phone, she tapped her foot as she looked at the clock. About a couple minutes later, a blue cloaked figure holding a blue brain in a pan, with a monkey in a suit, teleported in as the monkey asked, "LAWGIVER! It's been too long!"
"Is that soon enough, madam?" The cloaked figure asked.
"What kept you two?" Pearl frowned. "Bobo?"
The monkey, known as Professor Bobo, nodded.
"Brain Guy?" Pearl turned to Brain Guy.
"Yes, madam? You said you wanted to tell us something important?" Brain Guy asked.
"As a matter of fact, yes..." Pearl said as she pointed towards the ConGypsCo article. "If we play our cards right... we might be back in the evil business!"
Professor Bobo and Brain Guy started to smile as they examined the article. Brain Guy said, "You really think we can do this? It's been too long!"
"Exactly!" Pearl nodded. "After we shower, we're going to Minnesota and hijack the experiment!"
"Oh, that sounds like fun, Lawgiver!" Bobo smiled. "I've been wanting a road trip for so long!"
"The old gang is coming back together..." Brain Guy said as they hi-fived each other.
Little did they know that something big was about to happen...
Around the same time, up in Second Banana Heaven, a man with white hair and a small white cloak was looking up at the sky as he seemed bored. Sure, being up in Second Banana Heaven was pretty fun, nothing so bad... the bowling was good, he had a chance to be a Soultaker each Thursday of the week, and best of all he had all the benefits of it...
And yet... he couldn't help but miss life on Earth. Sure, he felt happy here... but he really missed Mike, the robots, even Dr. Forrester himself. Sure, Dr. Forrester never treated him right, but they were pretty good friends... and from what he's heard from his mother, Pearl, he had died since then, and she took over the experiments, which weren't too bad.
Now, even though the man, known as TV's Frank, loved living in there, he missed life on Earth, he wanted another chance at it... and he really was curious about what is going on on Earth.
"HeLLo, FrAnK."
Frank looked up to see a satyr in a white outfit, a cowboy hat and a beard coming up. "Oh, hey Torgo."
Torgo, a man who had first seen work as a servant to Manos, but had since moved onto pizza delivery, then looking for jobs, and now another servant from the Second Banana Heaven, sat down next to Frank as he asked, "YoU sEeM pReTtY sAd."
"Yeah..." Frank sighed. "I guess I just miss life down on Earth... I mean, I think it’s okay, but sometimes, I just feel I'm needed down there... I miss looking over the experiments, even if I was a sidekick, I still love these experiments like there was no tomorrow!"
"Hmmm..." Torgo paused. "A verY uNuSuAl ThOuGhT, iNdEeD."
"Yeah..." Frank sighed. "I wish I could just go down and do that all over again."
"ThEn wHy DoN't YoU?" Torgo asked.
"Huh?" Frank asked.
"YoU cAn CoMe BaCk to LiFe aT aNyTiMe. YoU JuSt hAvE tO sAy wHeN." Torgo explained.
Frank's eyes widened. "I can do that?"
Torgo just nodded.
Frank smiled. "Wow... I never thought of it THAT way. Thanks, Torgo! I think I'm ready to go back to life now!"
Frank then started to run off into the distance as Torgo gave a smile, saying, "WeLl, mY wOrK hErE iS dOnE."
Over near a newspaper stand, somewhere in Minnesota, TV's Frank appeared as he looked around, excited. He didn't know where to start. Curiously, he picked up a newspaper and noticed the headline 'ConGypsCo' running a new experiment'.
He read further as his eyebrow raised in curiosity. Why not? Maybe, just once, he'll have a look at this... if anything, it'll remind him of the old days...
Little did he know that he was about to get into a big mess over that day.
Somewhere in Gizmonic Institute, two scientists were busy trying to study the ruins of a certain satellite. One of the scientists, a man with stringy black hair, big glasses, and a black science coat. He is known as Dr. Laurence Erhardt, and believe it or not, he was actually one of the very first people that started out the experiments with Dr. Clayton Forrester himself. He, along with Forrester, were the ones who launched the first person, Joel Robinson, into space with the shuttle in the first place.
However, what Erhardt and Forrester didn't realize was that at the time, the Satellite of Love was considered private property, which could only be touched by the people who owned the satellite, and the janitors to clean it up. Joel just happened to be both of those qualifications when he and Dr. Forrester unleashed the Satellite of Love.
Sure, for about a year or so, Erhardt and Forrester worked together... but there were some people who got suspicious as Forrester ordered Dr. Erhardt to stay up in Gizmonic Institute and join the search, whilst giving the message that he had quit working for Gizmonic Institute, to throw off suspicion that it was them who stole the Satellite of Love, and to not stop until Dr. Forrester gave a certain signal. He had waited for the signal for at least nine or so years, and it never came... until the fateful day the Satellite of Love crashed onto Earth, which immediately set off red flags. He knew something happened, but he didn't know what, and so, he was currently investigating the satellite to see what happened and how Joel had escaped...
Working alongside him was one of the people responsible for the Satellite of Love's working parts, a young female scientist around thirty-four. She had brown hair, curled into a bun, a white lab coat with the symbolic green G around it, and black boots. Her eyes were a pretty deep hazel.
"Okay, I think I figured it out..." The girl scientist said as Dr. Erhardt yelped.
"Uh, yes?" Dr. Erhardt squeaked, nervously.
"Yep... whoever the saboteur was, after the tenth year, he definitely annihilated all the hard work I put into the ship, along with the other crew members!" The woman frowned. "But that should not matter... I will figure out the saboteur... for I, Dr. Tricia Leonard, will solve this case!"
Dr. Erhardt sighed in relief. Tricia was a little bit fun, yet she was very cocky and eccentric. He didn't understand why she acted like that at times. Maybe she had a bi-polar personality. "I'm sure we'll find him... or her..."
Dr. Erhardt had a big problem with this... he planned on framing Joel should he have ever found him, but the problem was, he didn't know where he was...
"Well, enough examination... let's see what's good on the news..." Tricia said as she picked up her newspaper and read it... then she raised an eyebrow and smiled. "Oh, hey! Seems a company is building something similar to the Satellite of Love..."
"So?" Dr. Erhardt said in confusion.
"Look who's manning this one..." Tricia said, pointing towards the article.
Curiously, Dr. Erhardt took the paper and read it... his eyes widened as he gave a smirk. He had him now... "Why don't we go there? We're fellow Gizmonic employees, we should support him!"
"Sounds good!" Tricia smiled. "We'll order the plane tickets right away!"
Dr. Erhardt gave a big smirk as he nodded. He had him now...
Little did both Tricia and Dr. Erhardt know that things were about to change that day...
Over at ConGypsCo, a purple robot with a silicone body was waiting as she saw three people approaching. Gypsy smiled as she saw Mike carrying Tom, with Crow following behind. "Hey, guys!"
"Gypsy!" Mike, Tom and Crow said in excitement as Tom said, "We really missed you, Gyps!"
"I missed you guys too." Gypsy smiled. "Anyway, I suppose you're all here to see my new project."
"Indeed we have!" Crow said as he looked around. "Say, is he here?"
"Already inside, just putting in the last touches!" Gypsy said. "He's excited to see you guys! Follow me!"
Tom, Crow and Mike cheered as they went inside, eagerly awaiting excitement...
"Now you folks are probably wondering...where're the ponies? Isn't this a MST3K and MLP: FIM crossover? Well, let's leave the humans and go to Equestria, shall we?"
It is another morning in the world of Equestria. It seems like it's not too long ago hen an evil centaur named Tirek ripped through here, stealing the magic of every pony in Equestria, even the Alicorns aren't safe! Despite the odds, Twilight and her friends managed to unleash the Rainbow Power and use it send the monster back to Tartarus.
Not only that, Twilight and Spike went to the Human Realm once more to help her human friends there against the sirens, AKA the Dazzlings, and save the world. And now things are slowing down, the Council is in session once more...
"What a background, right folks? Equestria has been through worst and so did we. Now we're a council, preparing on helping Ponyville and spreading friendship throughout Equestria. And right before Season 5 would begin..."
"Pinkie, who the hay are you talking to?" Rainbow ask Pinkie who is speaking to the camera in the council room. "And what "Season 5"?"
"Oh, nothing." Pinkie said, giving out a happy squee. "Twilight, you were saying?"
Twilight, the Princess of Friendship, gave an odd look to Pinkie. She is used to her behavior as long as the mare knows her. The pony spoke, "Well, as you know, Equestria is now fully recovered from Tirek's assault. We're still trying to figure out as of what we must do."
"Well, so far, things has been slow lately, sugar cube." Applejack remarks, sitting in her chair. "So no need 'ta worry fer 'de future just yet."
"Right, you remember what happened the last time, right?" Spike reminds Twilight while reading a comic book of the future Twilight incident.
"I know, but we must not keep our guard down." Twilight said to Spike with a sigh. The mare left her chair so she heads to her balcony. "We can't make a mistake that could ruin Equestria."
"Wow, Twilight. You must be trying your best to do your new princess role, don't ya?"
"I don't know...I don't know why, but I feel like...something's coming...something big..."
"Oh dear. Something big?" Fluttershy ask nervously as she, the other members of the Mane Five and Spike left their chairs to come over to their leader. "How big?"
"It can't be anything we haven't deal with before, darling." Rarity said, waving off the concern. "We dealt with Nightmare Moon, Discord, the Changelings, Sombra, the plants, Tirek, and a lot more than we can shake a hoof at."
"Right. Whatever the threat we may be dealing with, egghead, we will kick their flanks!" Rainbow laughs as he threw her back feet into the air, making the others laugh. "It will be awesome!"
"Right, like JusSonic's series of fics with Ben, Nyx, Mystic Ponies, and other folks! I wonder if we could fit any of them in here." Pinkie said thoughtfully, making her friends give her an odd look.
Their pink friend can't be any weirder even if she tried!
-------------
Luna came into the throne room, yawning a bit. The Alicorn of the Night is not used to being up in the daytime, she is normally a night pony. The Alicorn saw her sister Celestia, looking up into the sky in concern.
"Sister." Luna said as she came over to Celesta with a concerned look. "Is there a problem?"
"The stars..." Celestia said as she looks up to the sky. Luna looks up and notices something odd in the sky.
"Odd...the last time these stars are like that is when I came back. What could it mean?"
"I don't know...I sense that something big's coming...something's bigger than everything Equestria has deal with before."
"I know, I can sense it too." Luna said, shivering a bit. The Alicorn pauses, then spoke up, "Does it involve called "The Fusing"?"
"I hope not. I told Twilight not to worry about that prophecy long ago. But this may be the case." Celestia said seriously to Luna.
The two Alicorns look at each other and look upward. Whatever is coming...it may be coming without warning!
------------
"While the Alicorns were busy, concerned over what may be coming, back in the world of humans, a reunion is about to get under way!"
In another room, which looks like a fish shop, a sleepy-eyed guy wearing a red suit that has the name of "Gizmonics", his former work place, doing some work. Just then, he hears familiar voices.
"Joel!" Two familiar robots exclaims as they rush over to hug their inventors.
"Guys!" Joel smiled as he saw Mike and his robot friends coming inside into his fish shop.
"Wait, wait, fish shop? I think Jus borrowed this from the trailer. It looks like a fish shop, folks."
"Joel! It's great to see ya!" Tom Servo laughs happily as he lets go. "Man, I wish my arms would work."
"Joel, man, we missed ya!" Crow exclaims with a smile.
"Yeah, I've heard Mrs. Forrester went and freed you guys." Joel remarks with a chuckle. "Ironic. Dr. Forrester tried to kill you three years ago but you guys got freed instead. And Mrs. Forrester tried the same thing, but it happened again."
"Yeah, like mother, like son. Think about it, won't you?"
"So how's the fish shop business going?" Mike ask Joel with a grin.
"Oh, things has been a bit...slow." Joel remarks with a chuckle. "Better than what I used to though. So how are things?"
"Oh, we're living in apartment since our escape...we did a lot of work for Rifftrax on the side, commenting on movies at large."
"Oh, even when you escape from doing bad movies, you're still doing what we loved to do much, eh?"
"Yeah, something like that." Mike remarks with a sheepish chuckle. "I do some movies solo, but I get guest-stars and these two chuckle heads help out. Of course, I have to call them "Kevin" and "Bill" for their safety."
"Yeah, as if we're named that in real life, Nelson." Tom Servo remarks with a scoff.
"And of course, we only sold the audio of our comments online to our fans due to the fact that most of the movies we did not in public domain."
"Sucks, I know. We did made some DVDs in the public domain, though." Crow remarks with a smirk. "We got a lot of money from our smart ass remarks too!"
"We did short work for "The Film Crew" though the camera crew edited out Crow and Bill's appearance so humans would be the one commenting with me." Mike remarks with a smile, recalling his and the robots' brief work on "The Film Crew".
"You know what's funny? I did something like that called "Cinematic Titanic" with a lot of people too." Joel said, recalling something else he did similar to what his pals had done.
"Really, Joel?" Crow ask his inventor hopefully.
"Yeah, it's an experiment for some unknown (possibly shadowy) corporation or military force."
"Oh, like what Dr. Forrester once did to us." Tom remarks with a frown. Typical! Even when Joel escaped, he still do bad movies for another organization.
"Oh, we escaped at some point, but I will give you the DVDs of our experiments if you wanna watch them." Joel pauses, then gave out a chuckle. "You know what's weird? The people I worked with on those experiments looked oddly like Dr. Forrester, his mother, Dr. Erhardt and TV's Frank."
"Hey, what's the odds of that happening?" Crow ask in amazement.
"Well, now that our background is settled, what's the idea for this reunion?"
"Oh, we decided to go back into space in Gypsy's project and watch movies that we choose. You know, going back into an old environment." Mike explains to Joel of his idea.
"Really? Well, after my Cinematic Titanic experiments and how slow the fish shop business is, I could go back to old basics." Joel said thoughtfully as the humans and robots leave the room. "But what about Rifftrax?"
"Oh, no problem. I will tell my bosses that the bots and I are going on a road trip. They will just send us the movies via internet so we can still work on those. Now we need Gypsy's project."
"Here it is, fellows!" Gypsy exclaims proudly as she goes over to a window that shows another room where the project is almost completed.
The humans and other two robots looks amazed as they saw what the project is: a lookalike of the Satellite of Love!
"Gypsy, how did you remake the Satellite of Love?" Tom Servo ask Gypsy in excitement.
"The Nanites survived the crash and they have been working with me on this for months now!" Gypsy explains proudly. "It is about done..." A click is heard. "Oh well, now it's done. To be honest, I just gave them the paperwork before you guys show up. They are fast!"
"Well, why didn't you tell them to do that a long time ago?" Joel ask Gypsy curiously.
"Simple. They don't go to a job without a work order." Mike explains, recalling that he asked the Nanites that same question when Mike and the robots were escaping the destruction of the Planet of the Apes (due to Mike stupidly helping out with a nuclear bomb).
"Oh, well, that makes sense. So when are we ready to leave?"
"Oh, as soon as possible." Gypsy explains to her creator proudly.
"Road trip! WOOOOOOO!!!" Crow and Tom Servo laughs madly. They can't wait!
----------------
Inside the entrance to ConGypsCo, Pearl, Bobo, and Brain Guy (after Pearl got into her regular attire, clean and fresher than ever) suddenly appeared as Brain Guy gave a smirk. "Okay, Pearl, we're here."
Pearl looked up at the sign that said, "CONGYPSCO, also check out "Joel's Hot Fish Shop", expanded from Osseo". "Well, you're right, Brain Guy. This is the place. Think you can locate Mike and the bots and where they are now?"
"Let me try, madam." Brain Guy said as he did his usual thinking stance as a sound effect of him using his brain was heard. Brain Guy smiled. "Ah, yes, as a matter of fact, they are, in fact, located on the Satellite of Love, along with the purple robot, and the guy in the red jumpsuit."
Pearl smiled. "So, Joel is here too, huh? Interesting... never HAD two test subjects before... and my son's FIRST human test subject, no less!"
Pearl smirked as she nodded. "Okay, Brain Guy, just teleport us to the switch and we'll be good as golden!"
Brain Guy nodded. "Right away, Pearl!"
"Think we can stop for ice cream on the way? I'm starving after that long trip!" Bobo smiled, stupidly.
Pearl and Brain Guy just rolled their eyes as Brain Guy did his usual thinking stance as he teleported them off...
Meanwhile, near the entrance to the room where the second Satellite of Love is, TV's Frank was peeking his head in as he started to call out. "Hello? Is anybody home?"
TV's Frank looked around as he paused. "Guess nobody's here..."
TV's Frank then noticed the satellite in the room as he gasped. "No way... the Satellite of Love in here? What a likeness!"
TV's Frank paused as he said, "Hmmm... I always was curious what it looked like on the inside..."
TV's Frank then started to go inside the ship to explore it...
Just as Frank had entered inside the ship, out of curiosity, Joel, Mike, Tom, Crow and Gypsy had came in the room as Joel was bringing in an upgraded floating camera.
"Glad to see Cambot back in action. He truly needed a little upgrade." Joel smiled.
"Yeah..." Mike nodded. "Well, it's a good thing you decided to upgrade Cambot... I'm sure he really needed it..."
"Yeah, the new camera installment was exactly what he needed." Joel said. "Plus, it came with free Wi-Fi."
"Nice!" Crow smiled as Cambot provided an image of a computer server. "Finally, fast speed internet! No more dial-up for us, huh, Servo?"
"Indeed..." Tom nodded. "Okay, Mike, what say we go exploring our new Satellite, hm?"
"Sure thing." Mike said as he, Crow, Tom, Gypsy and Cambot entered. "Coming in, Joel?"
"I'll catch up with you guys. Just need to put in one more installment in the ship and we'll be good..." Joel said as Mike and his robots friends entered the ship.
Joel nodded as he decided to put in the final installment...
"Joel! It's been too long!"
Joel raised his head in curiosity as he turned to see a new woman in a Gizmonics suit coming in. Joel raised an eyebrow. "Do I know you?"
"Maybe not for long, but we were fellow employees in the same company." The girl explained. "Gizmonic Institute, I'm pretty sure you've heard of the place."
Joel nodded. "Indeed, I was a janitor slash inventor over there."
"My name is Tricia, Tricia Leonard." Tricia shook Joel's hand. "Pleasure to meet you for the... I want to say third time, but let's just say first time."
"Very well, Miss Leonard." Joel nodded. "What brings you all the way over here?"
"Well, I read on the news that you were helping ConGypsCo out with a new invention, and I was curious to see what it is..." Tricia looked up and smiled. "I see it doesn't disappoint. Looks almost like the ship that was stolen ten years ago..."
Joel paused. "You could say that, yes. It's actually a working replica of the Satellite of Love. I don't know what we're officially naming it, but I'm thinking Satellite of Love II."
"Hm..." Tricia shrugged. "It's all right. Not too shabby. Anyway, Joel, why don't you show me around? I'm rather curious about your project."
Joel smiled. "Certainly, though it's not entirely my idea. You see..."
As Joel and Tricia entered inside the ship, about a moment later, Dr. Erhardt had arrived. "Tricia, Tricia? Goddammit, the girl always runs off even when I go to the bathroom! Nice mints, though..."
Dr. Erhardt's eyes widened as he looked in surprise. "What's this? Another Satellite of Love? Now, I'm curious..."
Dr. Erhardt started walking inside the ship, wondering what wonders would await them...
Inside a room where a couple of buttons were, Pearl, Bobo and Brain Guy had appeared as Pearl smiled, looking at the buttons.
"Hmmm... two buttons... one of them obviously ready for launch!" Pearl smirked as she pushed the button, leading a countdown timer turning on and ticking for one minute.
"And we are good to go!" Pearl smiled as Bobo and Brain Guy smiled.
"This is going to be so much fun, huh, Lawgiver?" Bobo smiled.
"It's been too long, Bobo..." Pearl said as she then heard humming. "Uh, Brain Guy, what did I tell you about humming?"
"That's not me." Brain Guy said.
Pearl's eyes widened as she yelped. "Act scarse!"
Brain Guy, Bobo and Pearl then started to hide, as Bobo just put a lampshade on his head, Brain Guy posed in front of a painting as if to blend in, and Pearl was hiding in a nearby bush growing inside, keeping an eye out.
To their relief... and surprise, TV's Frank was seen coming in as he looked around. "Hmmm... interesting."
"Frank?" Pearl said as she looked out.
TV's Frank turned in shock to see a familiar person. "Pearl Forrester, is that you?"
On the hallway of the Satellite of Love, Joel and Tricia were walking as Tricia said, "Wow, Joel, I can't wait to tell the other Gizmonic employees how fast you're going up in the world! Shame the first Satellite of Love blew up."
"Yeah, it was sad, indeed..." Joel said...
"We're still trying to find the culprits who were responsible for stealing the ship in the first place, but whoever it is, sure is malicious about it!" Tricia frowned, "Me and Dr. Erhardt are currently on the case!"
Joel stopped in his tracks. "Wait... Dr. Erhardt, as in Doctor LAURENCE Erhardt?"
"Yep!" Tricia nodded. "Together, me and him are going to find out who stole the first Satellite of Love, and destroyed it after ten years!"
Joel paused. "Tricia, I think there's something you need to know about what happened with the theft of the Satellite of Love. You see..."
"Tricia, finally..."
Joel stopped a little as Tricia smiled at Dr. Erhardt, just arriving. "Finally, Dr. Erhardt, you catch up!"
"Hi, Larry." Joel waved nervously.
"Joel..." Dr. Erhardt smiled wickedly. "Oh, Tricia, I found the culprit of who stole the Satellite of Love?"
"Is he here?" Tricia said in shock, eyes narrowing.
"As a matter of fact, he's in the exact same ship we are!" Dr. Erhardt smiled, looking straight at Joel.
"What are you doing here, Frank?" Pearl smiled, glad to see Frank again as Bobo and Brain Guy greeted him warmly. "Aren't you a Soultaker now? And dead?"
"Well, I retired from Soultaker... and I requested to come back to life, so I'm living flesh and blood again!" TV's Frank smiled.
"That's great to hear, Frank!" Pearl smiled. "Hey, would you like to join me and my lackeys in an attempt to get Joel, Mike and his robots up in space? Forcing them to watch more bad movies?"
"Sure! I need a little pick-me-up after coming back to life!" TV's Frank smiled as Bobo curiously looked at the control panel. He then pressed the second button as Frank asked, "So, once we get out of the Satellite of Love, where do we find the control panel?"
That stopped Pearl as she frowned. "The control panel's right here. What do you mean we're in the Satellite of Lo-"
Pearl's eyes widened as she turned to Brain Guy. "Brain Guy, get us all out of here."
"Right away, madam." Brain Guy said as he tried to use his brain powers... but they seemed to be stuck in the same position. "Something's wrong, madam, the brainwaves seems to not work."
"Well, TRY, IDIOT!" Pearl frowned as she tugged on Brain Guys' cloak.
"Okay, okay..." Brain Guy choked as he started to think to teleport the others...
Joel blinked as he turned to Dr. Erhardt. He shrugged. "She's bi-polar."
"Ah..." Joel nodded.
"Okay, Joel, I know who the BOTS are..." Dr. Erhardt said in disgust. "But who is THAT guy?"
"I'm Mike Nelson, I replaced Joel..." Mike explained.
"Wait, wait, wait; REPLACED Joel?" Dr. Erhardt blinked. "Why did Dr. Forrester not INFORM me of this?"
Joel blinked. "Didn't you hear? Dr. F died at least a few years ago."
"WHAT?" Dr. Erhardt blinked. "Then who ran the experiments?"
As if to answer Dr. Erhardt's question, Pearl, Bobo, Brain Guy and TV's Frank appeared, much to MIke and Joel's surprise.
"PEARL?" Mike said.
"Brain Guy?" Tom said in shock.
"Bobo?" Gypsy asked.
"Frank?" Joel said in surprise.
"Who?" Dr. Erhardt just said in confusion.
"Oh, hey, Dr. F told me about you!" TV's Frank smiled as he looked at Dr. Erhardt. "I was your replacement!"
"MY REPLACEMENT?" Dr. Erhardt's eyes widened in shock. "Dr. Forrester REPLACED ME? WHY WOULD HE DO THAT?"
"Yeah, Frank replaced you, stringy!" Pearl frowned. "Then I replaced Frank, THEN I replaced my son, which Bobo and Brain Guy GLADLY filled in for Frank!"
"Wait, wait... Dr. Forrester is YOUR SON?" Dr. Erhardt said in shock, wondering how many surprises he could take...
Joel frowned. "You really have NOT been out a lot, have you, Dr. Erhardt?"
"What are you doing here, Pearl?" Mike frowned.
"Isn't it obvious? Blasting you, Joel and the bots out into space once again!" Pearl smiled. "What can I say, I miss the old days!"
"Yeah, I don't really blame you." Tom Servo nodded. "It was getting rather boring... but we didn't want to see YOU!"
"Believe me, I would be glad to see you... ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SCREEN!" Pearl frowned. "Brain Guy, get us out of here before the satellite blasts off!"
Everyone, except for Pearl, Bobo, Brain Guy and Frank, just stopped in shock as they all said, "Blasting off?"
Outside ConGypsCo, the second Satellite of Love started to fly up into space as a laser started opening at the top and blasted up into the air, causing a portal to open up.
Meanwhile, back in Equestria, outside Twilight's castle, Twilight and her friends were just about to have another picnic outside as Pinkie Pie was bringing out some strawberry jam.
"Why the jam?" Twilight asked, out of curiosity.
"To spread for my toast, silly!" Pinkie said as she made some toast appear out of nowhere.
No pony had noticed that a portal had just opened up from above Twilight's castle.
Back in the Satellite of Love, Dr. Erhardt was still in shock as Brain Guy was still trying to think, Pearl was busy choking Bobo, Cambot was seen floating around, Mike and Frank were now talking to each other, as Tom and Gypsy looked at each other in worry. Crow was still busy, escaping the clutches of a hyped Tricia. Joel frowned as he said, "Hey, Cambot, give me Rocket Number Nine; Maybe we can see what's going on?"
Cambot nodded as he projected an image from outside the ship. A colorful portal seemed to be opening up as the Satellite was entering through it.
"Where are we entering?" Pearl asked.
"I don't know..." Crow said, getting out of Tricia's grasp. "But I don't like it..."
The ship then started to act like falling as something was happening as Frank yelled, "I think we're falling now!"
Brain Guy smiled as he said, "I got the brainwaves working!"
"Great!" Pearl frowned as he grabbed Dr. Erhardt. "We may as well take HIM with us, come on!"
Brain Guy frowned. "But, madam, I don't know if I can teleport FIVE people at the same time! Three is good, four is manageable, but five may have some unforeseen consequenc-"
"I DON'T CARE! GET US OUT OF HERE!" Pearl yelled.
Brain Guy yelped as he went into his thinking position, Bobo taking TV's Frank and grabbing Brain Guy's cloak as Pearl took a piece of Brain Guy's cloak as well.
"Welp, so long, Nelson, Robinson, bots... and whoever you are." Pearl said. "Hope you like... whatever it is you're about to face!"
With that out of the way, Brain Guy teleported as all five people disappeared.
"BRACE YOURSELVES!" Joel yelled Tom and Gypsy started to panic.
"WE'RE ABOUT TO CRASH... AGAIN!" Mike called as Crow and Tricia started to cling onto something. Cambot was floating around as everything started to go black...
Around the same time, a huge bone satellite suddenly appeared and completely crushed Twilight's castle into smithereens, which Twilight and her friends noticed.
"MY CASTLE!" Twilight screamed.
"Aliens!" Rainbow gasped... then laughed at Applejack. "Told you they exist!"
"Ooooo... shiny..." Pinkie smiled as she noticed one part of the satellite crumpled off and started flying straight in a direction... Pinkie then shrugged as they all looked at the bone like satellite, not sure what to make of it.
"I had a deposit on that, too..." Twilight sniffled.
"Relax, Twilight, that castle can rebuild itself easily..." Spike said.
The part that came out of the Satellite of Love was a small active laser as it landed near a familiar tree with six cutie marks labeled as it started to activate as it blasted six certain parts of the tree, causing them to disappear... to far, separate worlds...
Brain Guy, Bobo and Frank were looking straight at somebody as Dr. Erhardt was still sitting nearby, in shock. The sound of Pearl Forrester being upset was heard as Frank said, "It’s okay, Pearl! I think that new look is great on you..."
"I DON'T WANT A NEW LOOK! I WANT MY REGULAR HUMAN BODY!" Pearl yelled from offscreen.
"I told you we shouldn't have teleported five people!" Brain Guy frowned.
"Hey, Lawgiver, where are we, anyway?" Bobo said looking around.
Before Pearl Forrester could answer, she paused (again, she's not seen onscreen). "Hmmm... I think I've heard of this place once... I recall, because there were a lot of children's story books based on this place... and it's very much real. This, Professor Bobo... is the land of Equestria..."
"Oh, nice!" Frank smiled. "The land with the magic ponies? Cool!"
"Very cool, Frank..." Pearl said as the camera was now focusing on her... although she looked like a blonde furred version of a certain Changeling Queen. "Actually, this place will be perfect for the revival..."
"Revival?" Brain Guy raised an eyebrow. "Of whom?"
Pearl the now transformed Changeling Queen look-alike, smiled. "Oh... just an old friend both Frank AND Dr. Erhardt here knows..."
Discord, the Spirit of Chaos and Disharmony, was doing what he loves to do most, besides doing pranks and other stuff...and that goes into the pathways between different worlds and travel a bit. He is the many of many Discords who knew about this place and often speak to himself or versions who are fanmakes of himself. In fact, one time, Discord even met himself from TUPG! Amazing!
However, Discord yelps as a portal opens up between two worlds, his own and another. The former villain frowns in concern as the portal sends something into his world...but something is troubling as the portal remains open. And...
"What's this?" Discord ask as the portal is, and without explanation, beginning to do something. "Is that portal fusing my world with someone else's?! Something is coming here...I must..."
Suddenly something came out of the other world, almost knocking Discord down. As he recovers, the former villain yelps as something laughs and heads at him.
"Wait, who are you?!" Discord demands. He can only scream his last as the figure overpowers him...and fusing with him...
Back in Twilight's castle, Celestia and Luna were here as they had the guards with them, Twilight and the Mane Six were watching as they saw the bone-like satellite trying to be breached by the guards.
"What is this bone like structure?" Twilight asked in curiosity.
"I don't know... but this is going to be big!" Pinkie gasped in excitement.
"What's the status, princess?" Twilight asked.
"Well, my guards are conducting a search right now." said the second one. "So far they deduced that the heat shields must have failed on a reentry. Whoever was piloting must've been a complete and utter moron, at best."
One of the guards then approached the princesses and Twilight's friends as he bowed to them and said, "We've managed to breach the hull, your highnesses. We're going through the strange ship right now. We'll alert you once we've found anyone."
"What have you found so far?" Princess Luna asked.
"The only thing that was intact that we could find was this suitcase," said one of the guards, holding up a slightly singed suitcase. "It's got nothing but underpants in it."
Twilight raised an eyebrow. "Underpants? Why underpants?"
The guard could only shrug.
Just then, they heard someone shout.
"HEY, WE'VE GOT SOMETHING!"
The princesses, Twilight and her friends started running towards the ship as they looked over.
The pony guards were slowly lifting with their magic a giant metal structure out of the satellite.
It was large and purple with a giant white lip and what appeared to be a flashlight for an eye.
Twilight gasped as Fluttershy asked, "What is it?"
"It looks like a robot..." Twilight said. "I never thought I'd see one up close."
"Wait, here's another!" said another guard pony as he used his magic to pull out a small squat robot that had a gumball machine for a head.
"Another robot?" Twilight said in awe as Rainbow examined it.
"I wonder how the arms work." Rainbow asked.
"We've got two more as well." said another pony guard, pulling out two more robots.
One was a small orb with a camera lens built into it, and the other was a Tupperware dish / ping pong balls / hockey mask / bowling pin designed robot.
Twilight looked in amazement as she said, "That is amazing. Actual robots..."
Applejack blinked as she said, "You could almost mistake them for puppets..."
"My gosh, do you think they were made from parts of this bone-like structure?" Rarity asked.
"They may as well be..." Pinkie said...
"Hey, we got three people in here!" A pony guard shouted. "Humans in fact!"
Celestia and Luna raised an eyebrow as Luna asked, "Humans? How curious?"
"Indeed... we haven't had a human visit since Megan and her friends the last time." Celestia said. They watched as the guard ponies pulled out the three humans...
The first one was a male human with a red jumpsuit and brown hair. The second person was a male human with a blue jumpsuit and brown hair. The last person was female and she was wearing a blue lab coat with a green G sewed on it. They looked pretty hurt, but they were alive and well.
"Those three look hurt pretty bad..." Luna said in worry.
"Indeed." Celestia said. "All of them seem pretty out of it..."
"Princess, what do we do?" Twilight asked.
Celestia paused. "Twilight, Luna and I are going to be taking the humans back to our castle, they'll need some rest over there. We can talk and meet up with them a little later, I want them to ease in a little bit."
"What about the robots?" Twilight asked, looking towards the four robots, who look out of it.
"Keep them around here for now. Have them explore Equestria, experiment with them a little, if need be. Do you understand, Twilight?" Celestia asked.
Twilight nodded as the guard ponies were seen using their magic to lift the three humans into the carriage.
Before they were loaded aboard, the man in the blue jumpsuit managed to briefly open his eyes and see the burning wreckage of what seemed to be a castle as some guards stayed behind to quickly rebuild the place. He also saw his robot friends being lifted with magic by a purple pony as she took them into the newly built castle.
TV's Frank hums happily as he brings in some sort of cauldron with Professor Bobo's help. The two found a hut which belongs to a certain zebra but she isn't around, so it was easy for them to swipe what they need for the ritual at hand.
"Here you go, Pearl." Frank said happily as he and Professor Bobo put the pot down. "How are we going to be doing this again?"
"Oh trust me, I saw this in a movie once." Pearl said as she prepares to focus on her magic. "Okay, let's see if this works..."
Pearl fires a bolt into the cauldron causing it to stir a bit...but nothing happened. Brain Guy sighs as he uses his own powers to make the cauldron come to life. The Observer felt like his boss needs some extra help.
Pearl smirks as she took out some bones, speaking, "Bones of the father...unknowingly stolen." The woman threw them into the pot eagerly. "And they were of Clayton's dad too."
"Like father, like son. Think about it, won't you?" TV's Frank ask happily, making the others roll their eyes at this.
"Frank, sorry to do this, but I'm going to need a part of you."
"No problem, Pearl! Steve used to break parts of me off all the time back when I was alive."
Frank took out a machete, just another item that he stole from Zecora's hut. The minion brace himself...and cut his arm right off, causing him to scream in pain as it fell right into the cauldron.
"Flesh of the Servant...Willingly Sacrificed." Pearl said, with a cruel cackle of a certain Looney Tunes like witch.
"And add the ribs and..." Dr. Erhardt said eagerly, making the others look at him. "Oh, sorry. The robots rub off on me."
"Ugh. I need one more thing: Blood of the Enemy, forcingly given."
"No problem! I got it right here!" Dr. Erhardt exclaims as he took out a jar of blood, labeled "Joel Robinson's".
"Where in the Sam Hill did you get that?" Brain Guy ask, a bit startled by the plus.
"Oh, all Gizmonics employees have to give out blood samples on their first day. Believe me, I gave a lot when I first came to work at the institute. I think it's for cloning."
"Nice, let me see!" Professor Bobo exclaims as he grabs for the jar...only to push it off of Dr. Erhardt's hands and knocking it into the cauldron. "Oops!"
"Ugh, never mind, Bobo. For once, you did right..." Pearl said with a grunt, ignoring Bobo's stupidness for once.
Suddenly the cauldron begins to boil like mad. The bad guys are sensing that something's about to happen, causing them all to back off. And then, it happened. A huge explosion bursts out of the cauldron, arriving in the sky.
As the explosion clears, everyone gapes as something appears, laughing madly...
Mike Nelson was barely able to gain consciousness inside what seemed to be a medical ward. Where is he? The man fell unconscious when the Satellite of Love crashed...again!
"Ooomph... where... where am I?" Mike groans as he feels his forehead as if it was experimented on. The former temp worker hated that!
"Mike, good, you're awake!" A familiar voice exclaims. Mike turns and saw Joel, all right with his clothes not ripped off.
Mike sighs as he spoke to the first human test subject, "Joel? What happened?"
They hear Princess Celestia coming in, speaking "It's all right, Mr... Nelson, I'm not here to harm you."
The two humans turn and saw her: Princess Celestia coming into the room. Surprisingly, Mike doesn't seem freaked out or alarmed that a talking pony with a horn and wings is speaking to him right now!
"Oh, Mike, I should probably introduce you. This is Princess Celestia, she's taking care of us." Joel said to his friend with a smile.
"...I notice you're not reacting strangely." Celestia said, noting that Mike's not freaking out right now.
"Look, I've seen a planet with talking apes, a planet with three brain guys, a planet in war, and Ancient Rome." Mike explains as he counts off the odd things that he saw that happened to him ever since the man and his robot pals came back from the edge of the universe, "Me and Joel have also met some eccentric characters. The only thing that can surprise us at this point is who directed the next movie we watch."
"Hmmm... curious."
"Yeah, it's hard to believe either, but we did see QUITE a lot of them WHILE we were on the Satellite of Love."
"Yeah, about that. Your satellite accidentally crushed my student's castle." Celestia said, giving a serious look as she got back to that subject.
Joel nods in agreement. Mike looks worried, fearing the worst. Did the ship ended up hurting the princess's student? Great, it better not be one of those moments when his robot pals would angrily snapped "Good one, Nelson". He had done a lot of goof ups in the past like blowing up planets or when his relatives married apes!
Mike worried ask the princess, "Oh, sorry. Is your student okay?"
"Thankfully, nobody was hurt." Celestia assures Mike that no one was hurt in the crash.
Mike looks around, noting that the woman that was with the gang, minus Pearl who escaped, is not around. The man ask, "Where's the female one? That crazy female that accused me of stealing the first ship?"
"Yeah, where is Tricia?" Joel ask Celestia, concerned.
"Oh, the bi-polar girl? She seemed to want to kill YOU," Celestia said, rolling her eyes as she points to Mike with one hoof, "and bring you to justice for some reason, so I sent her down to a safe place where she wouldn't hurt anybody..."
--------------------------------------------
Back in a dungeon like area, we see Tricia having a staring contest with a white and brown pony with blue glasses and green clothing, with an axe cutie mark as the pony blinked.
"I win, Yoy!" Tricia smiled... then started dancing. "YES!"
"So, if you can tell me what happened? Did you steal the satellite?" Celestia ask Mike curiously. If the human didn't steal the satellite, then there's no need to worry about lying, right?
Mike frowns, protesting, "NO! I didn't steal the satellite! Well, not the one that crashed, we kinda own it, but the satellite before it I didn't steal! The mad scientists conked me on the noggin and they shot me into space!" The former test subject of Forrester and TV's Frank makes rocket noise and makes upward noise with his hand to prove his point.
"I can actually vouch for that..." Joel said, remembering how Forrester and Dr. Erhardt launched the satellite with him inside it.
"Who were these mad scientists, out of curiosity?" Celestia ask the two humans, wanting to know the subject. Sounds like these mad scientists are serious and wicked men!
"Dr. Clayton Forrester, and his assistant, TV's Frank." Mike said, recalling the two men that he was once a prisoner to.
"And from what I've heard from this bi-polar female, the Satellite was up there for ten years before it crashed, with the eighth year being that it mysteriously vanished before it came back?"
Mike sighs, rolling his eyes as he explains, "Okay, first of all, I wasn't even IN the Satellite of Love for the full ten years. I was only up there for five and a half."
Celestia raised eyebrow as she ask, "Then who was in the ship for the first four-and-a-half years?"
Joel raise a hand as he spoke, "That would be me. But even before then, TV's Frank didn't exactly join until the second year, so Forrester was joined by somebody named Dr. Laurence Erhardt."
"Wow... an interesting story, indeed..."
"Look, uh, Princess Celestia, if you're wanting to punish to Doctor Forrester for what he's done... I don't think you need to."
"Yeah, he died about a few years ago. The experiments were taken over by his mother, Pearl Forrester, along with her two assistants, Professor Bobo and Brain Guy for the last three years, but that's about it." Mike said, explaining what had happened during the final years...sort of.
Celestia pause to think this information over. Then the Alicorn spoke up, "I see..."
"Yeah, but if it weren't for our-" Mike stops as he starts to realize something, "Wait a minute. Where are Crow, Tom, Gypsy and Cambot?"
Celestia blinks as she ask puzzled, "Who?"
Mike in worry exclaims, "The robots! Where are the bots? Are they okay?"
"Oh, them. Don't worry, Mr. Nelson, I assure you, they are fine. They're with my student and her friends right now, back in another area... don't worry, once Twilight and her friends finish testing the robots a little, to be sure they are in working condition, you'll all be reunited soon enough... so, could you and Mr. Robinson tell me MORE about the ship?"
In the Friendship Rainbow Kingdom castle, everything appears to be fine...if you include one huge Satellite sticking out of it. As well as a girlish scream from a certain golden robot.
"Oh, stop crying!" Twilight exclaims in irritation as she continues focusing her magic on Crow's arms. "This isn't going to hurt and you can't even feel anything."
"Sorry, I freaked out a bit." Crow whines to Twilight who continues to work until she's done.
"All right, try your arms."
Crow looks puzzled but decides to humor the Alicorn. To his amazement, his arms begins to move, something that was never done before.
"Hey, hey, you fixed my arms!" Crow exclaims to Twilight in amazement. "How did you do that?"
"Oh, you can be amazed what Twilight does." Spike said with a chuckle as he look the ship over. "So how did you guys make this?"
"Oh, Gypsy has the Nanites worked on it."
"Nanites?"
Gypsy was nearby, looking at a scope to speak into the Nanite world. She explains, "Guys, we got into a bit of an accident."
"What again?" Wade the Nanite ask with an exhausted sigh. "Well, can't help ya right now. We're on that 5 month vacation you promised us."
"But we need this ship fixed so..."
"Sorry, boss!" Ned the Nanite apologizes to Gypsy. "It's in our contract, remember? We will be back to work on this thing once 5 months are up! Later!"
Gypsy groans as she put the scope away, speaking to the ponies, "Well, no dice on the Nanites. They're on the 5 month vacation I promised them."
"Well, so you work and then you slack off for 5 months?" Rainbow ask Gypsy in amazement. "Where do I sign up?"
"Rainbow!" Applejack scolds to Rainbow.
"Fine, you look like a cute robot, yes you are." Fluttershy giggles as she pets Tom Servo on the head.
"Hey, I'm one chick magnet." Tom Servo said with a squeal of choice.
"Come over here, Tom. You're next." Twilight said, calling Tom Servo over so that she can fix his arms so that he can move them.
"But I wanna be called cute by the cuter pony some more!"
"What am I? Chopped liver?"
-----------
The portal is getting worst...as the worlds continue fusing. In the sky of Equestria, a few blasts came out and goes all over the place, even in certain parts of the world...
And nearby Ponyville, a blast crash landed nearby. When all is clear, something appears, growling loudly...
------------------------------
"Either Dr. Forrester came back...or we brought back an ugly snake creature." Professor Bobo said dumbstruck at the new form of Dr. Forrester.
Indeed, floating above the villains is Dr. Forrester...only he looks like a combination of Discord, with his face on the former villain's face and is green. He breathes and laughs madly.
"Hey, kiddies! Dr. F's back in action!" Dr. Forrester exclaims madly as bolts of lightning appear. He looks at his body, then frowns. "And what the hell am I anyway? I recalled fusing with that snake thingie earlier..."
"Clayton, get down here!" Pearl exclaims in irritation as Dr. Forrester turn and saw...the last person that he never thought that he would see, along with two other men that Dr. Forrester thought was gone forever.
Clayton Forrester sighed. "Oh... hello, Mother."
"Hey, Clay!" Frank smiled. "Good to see you again."
Clayton Forrester gave a smile. "Good to see you too, Frank, but... didn't you die and go to that Second Banana Heaven place?"
"Eh, I decided to come back to life. It got boring being dead, so here I am." Frank smiled.
"Hello, Dr. Forrester, sir." Dr. Erhardt glared at Clayton. "I heard you replaced me... TWICE!"
"Oh... didn't you get the memo I gave you the minute I hired Frank?" Clayton said as he turned to Erhardt.
"Apparently not!" Erhardt said, completely pissed off. "You just REPLACED me out of the blue!"
"Yeah, I had to make some cutbacks..." Clayton sighed as he then turned to his mother. "So, mother... how did the experiments go without me around?"
"Well, she recruited us, she had Mike and the bots for three years then she accidentally pushed the Satellite of Love down, freeing them." Professor Bobo explained as Brain Guy nodded.
Pearl glared at Bobo as she said, "Too much information, Bobo..."
Clayton frowned. "Monkeys? Guys with brains in pans? REALLY, mother?"
"Hey, I don't question YOUR sidekicks!" Pearl frowned.
Clayton muttered as he looked at the new form he had. "You could have resurrected me as a tyrannosaurus rex... but NO, I had to be reincarnated into this stupid looking thing!"
"Oh, shut it, you're back from the dead, live with it!" Pearl glared at him. "Anyway, now that EVERY Mad, old and new, me, Bobo and Brain Guy are the new, is here, there is a lot we need to discuss. For starters, Equestria!"
"Equestria?" Clayton blinked. "Is that where we are?"
"Indeed..." Pearl smiled. "And do you know what ALSO is in Equestria?"
"Er... ponies?" Frank asked.
"Besides that." Pearl said. "There are these special elements CALLED the Elements of Harmony. If we can collect ALL six of the Elements of Harmony, we'll be able to use them to our advantage! I mean, think about it, we have six of us here, and six elements!"
"Hmmm..." Clayton paused. "An interesting shake-up... but why revive me?"
"Because you're good at inventions, AND we needed a sixth player." Pearl explained. "ANYWAY... you boys up to this task, to find the Elements of Harmony so we can turn them EVIL?"
"I'm game!" Bobo smiled as Frank nodded.
"All right, but only because..." Erhardt frowned.
"What the heck, I'll get to work on the invention to find the Elements right away!" Forrester said as he started to look around. "We just need a science lab..."
"There's a nearby hut that might work..." Pearl frowned. "Use it."
"All right..." Clayton frowned.
"Oh, and while you're at it, try doing something like finding out how to hack a screen nearby where Joel, Mike and the bots are. We'll need to use them to taunt them!" Pearl said.
Clayton raised an eyebrow. "Wait... Joel, Mike and those robots are here too?"
"Yes... unfortunately, they are nowhere near a movie screen, but until we get them trapped in a spaceship where they DO have a movie screen, we'll have to make due with taunting." Pearl said. "Now, let's get to work!"
Clayton Forrester nodded as the six resumed work.
Brain Guy paused as he looked up. "I have a bad feeling about this..."
Meanwhile, back at the Friendship Castle, Tom and Crow were sitting atop a wooden pedestal with wires attached to them as Tom Servo turned to Crow, "You know, Crow, it's pretty surprising to see we're being experimented on by ponies..."
"Yeah..." Crow nodded. "I remember when we first met them... which was about an hour or so ago..."
-----------------------------------------------
FLASHBACK
Tom, Crow and Gypsy were recovering as Cambot started to float around.
"Sheesh, one wrong turn and you wind up scrap metal." Crow sighed. "Mike? Joel? Can one of you pick me up?"
No answer. Crow looked around. "Joel? Mike?"
Tom groaned as Gypsy was getting up. Tom sighed. "I don't think Joel and Mike are here."
Crow frowned. "Well, that's just great! Another mess Mike got us into! I don't know HOW he did it, but it's his fault."
"Oh, come on, Crow. It's not THAT bad." Tom said.
"Of course it's bad! I had to be CUDDLED by a crazy female looking creature! How come she didn't go for you, anyway?" Crow frowned.
"Well, I'm just THAT good!" Tom smiled.
"Why you!" Crow growled.
"Will you two kids stop arguing, please?" Gypsy frowned. "We're in a real fix! Something could happen to us, and whoever saved us, we don't KNOW where they took Joel and Mike!"
Crow and Tom paused as they looked at each other.
"Sorry, Gypsy." Both of them chimed.
"Okay, we just gotta find Mike and Joel and try to get ourselves home." Crow said.
"But how?" Tom asked.
And just like that, Twilight Sparkle, along with the Mane Six, entered in the room.
"We'll think of something later. Just play along for now." Crow whispered.
Tom, Gypsy and Cambot nodded in agreement.
Twilight approached the six as she coughed.
"Greetings, robots. My name is Twilight Sparkle, and these are my friends over there. Orange one is Applejack, yellow one is Fluttershy, white one is Rarity, blue one is Rainbow Dash, and the pink one... you can guess, is named Pinkie Pie." Twilight Sparkle explained. "We do not mean you any harm. We are a peace-loving group of ponies."
"Just don't cross us, and you'll be fine." Rainbow explained.
"Who are you?" Twilight asked.
Crow and Tom stared at the group.
"Well, we're not Little Richard and Tommy Kirk, if that's what you're thinking." Tom Servo explained.
"We're the Bots from the Satellite of Love." Crow said.
"Is that the ship's name?" Twilight said. "Cool."
"Uh, actually, we were wondering if you have names," Fluttershy said, shyly.
"Oh. Gypsy? Give them the Robot Roll Call." Tom said as he turned towards Gypsy.
Gypsy nodded as she opened her mouth, and a clipboard slid out into Twilight's hooves. Twilight stared at it.
"Cambot?" Twilight blinked as she was reading the Robot Roll Call.
The small floating camera buzzed.
"Gypsy?" Twilight said.
"Oh my stars!" Gypsy, the purple robot with a snake like appearance said.
"Tom Servo?" Twilight read.
"Check me out!" Tom Servo, the gumball machine robot said cockily.
"Croooow?" Twilight read, not really sure if she was pronouncing the name right.
"I'm different!" Crow T. Robot, the yellow robot with Ping-Pong eyes and net on his head said in glee.
Twilight blinked as she nodded.
"Okay, it's nice to meet you all." Twilight said.
"Okay, let's get down to business." Rarity said. "Twilight here wants to experiment on you robots for a bit, if that's fine with you, darlings."
"Do ANY of these experiments INVOLVE watching bad movies?" Tom asked.
The six ponies blinked as Twilight said, "Uh, no."
"Good! We can't stand bad movies after all we've went through." Crow frowned.
"What movies do you mean?" Pinkie asked.
"Oh, there was a WHOLE lot of crappy movies, we could name so many!" Tom said.
"The Crawling Eye, The Sidehackers, Godzilla vs. Megalon, Pod People..." Crow started.
"Santa Claus Conquers the Martians, The Killer Shrews, Monster A Go-Go, Manos: The Hands of Fate..." Tom continued.
"Eegah, Mitchell, The Brain That Wouldn't Die, Last of the Wild Horses, Danger: Death Ray..."
"This Island Earth, Laserblast, The Deadly Mantis, The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies..."
"Prince of Space, Time Chasers, The Pumaman, Hobgoblins..."
"The Final Sacrifice, Quest of the Delta Knights, Soultaker, Diabolik..."
"And tons..."
"And tons..."
"AND TONS of shorts!" Crow and Tom finished at the same time.
Meanwhile, Gypsy was busy trying to look into the crashed Satellite to see if there was anything salvageable... Gypsy then stopped short as she noticed something... what seemed to be a crown, a purple crown. Gypsy blinked. "What's this? I don't think I've seen THIS before..."
Gypsy then opened her mouth and took the crown as she gulped it up. "Well, I'm sure it'll be useful for later..."
Meanwhile, outside Ponyville, some ponies were seen talking when they heard giant footsteps. The ponies looked confused at first until they looked up... and gasped as they saw something huge heading towards them! This was not good!
--------------------
Celestia was fascinated by what Joel and Mike has told her: about the Satellite of Love, the movie theater, as well as what the humans and their robot pals have to go through. Well, "fascinated" isn't a word I would use. More like, stunned. She can't believe one human like Forrester or another like his mother would force folks to watch bad movies just to take over the world.
Celestia was about to ask how it is that Forrester was like this, when she gasps. Mike, noticing, spoke up, "What's wrong, Lassie? Did Timmy fell in the well again?"
"What?" Celestia ask confused by Mike's comment.
"Just some commentary, it's what we do." Joel explains to Celestia. "Seriously, what's wrong?"
Suddenly Luna came into the room, looking serious as she spoke, "Sister, do you feel that?"
"Yes, something is going on. I sense a disturbance." Celestia explains to Luna with a grim look on her face.
"Oh, as if a lot of people cry out at once and then were silent." Joel said to Celestia with a grin. The princess blinks a bit at that. "Star Wars reference. You know, I wouldn't be surprised if Kingdom Hearts got that as a world."
"Okay, first off, I have no idea what "Kingdom Hearts" is. Second, I sense something heading to Ponyville. I have been sensing weird disturbances since you two and your friends show up."
"Oh, so you got a thing for your student. Sorry, want to give you two to make out?" Mike ask Celestia with a mischievous grin. Celestia and Luna roll their eyes at that. "What?"
"We must get to Ponyville, post haste." Luna said quickly.
----------------
"So, Twilight? You got a colt?" Crow ask Twilight as the Princess of Friendship continue work on her experiment.
Twilight blinks as she spoke, "No, not yet....I haven't found one yet."
"She got an eye for that Flash Sentry guy in the human world!" Pinkie chirps happily, making Twilight blush at that.
"Pinkie! He lives in that world. I wouldn't want him to leave it just so I could be with him."
"There's another Flash Sentry here, egghead." Rainbow remarks, reading a Daring Doo book. "Why not get with him?"
"I bet you girls got a lot of colts pining for you." Tom Servo said devilishly. "Probably want to get you in bed, smoking and let the working Dragon starve."
"Hey, watch it!" Spike exclaims, offended by the comment.
"Well, darling, we haven't got any takers yet." Rarity said with a blush, grinning toward Spike.
"Eeew. You're like years older than him!" Crow exclaims in disgust. "Child screwer!"
"Dear sir; Dragons tend to age and tend to live forever. What do you think, Twilight?"
Twilight was about to speak, when she and everyone heard a commotion. The princess goes out onto the balcony, seeing ponies rushing past in fear. The Alicorn calls out, "Hey, what's going on down there?!"
"Run, run! It's the end of the world!" Lyra Heartstrings exclaims in terror.
"Some giant monster is attacking!" Sweetie Drops exclaims with her lov...err, I mean friend!
"Again?!" Twilight groans a bit, rolling her eyes.
"You get this a lot?" Gypsy ask Twilight as she and the others came out onto the balcony.
"Unfortunately. Girls, we better check this out."
--------------------
"Hmmm...I sense something, madam." Brain Guy said with a frown. "My brain powers detect a monster of huge proportions arriving outside the forest."
"Here, let's see what this new body got." Forrester remarks as he made a portal appears, allowing him to see what's going. The fused villain gasps, then laughs wickedly. "Oh, this is too good. I didn't think this would happen."
"Wow!" Frank exclaims as he took a look. "Is that him?"
"Looks like Mike, Joel and their dumb robots are about to get a first-hand experience!"
---------------------
The Mane Six, Spike and the robots arrive in the downtown Ponyville. Ponies are screaming as they are running away from some monster whose shadow can be seen nearby.
"Get ready, girls. We don't know what we're facing here." Twilight said to her friends seriously.
"Can any o' yew fight?" Applejack ask the robots curiously.
"What? You kidding? All we do is heckle the films. Fighting isn't in our category!" Crow complains to Applejack.
"Wellll, there was those times you appeared in Grudge Match." Gypsy reminds the robots of their appearance in Grudge Match, along with Mike.
"Those are fictional, they don't count."
"Oh, and we aren't." Pinkie remarks with a scoff at this comment.
The heroes gasps as the owner of the shadow appears. They couldn't believe their eyes, except for some of them,, mainly the robot: it's a turtle, albeit a tremendously large one that is capable of walking on two legs and flying. He possesses a pronounced sagittal crest on top of his head and his mouth is filled with teeth, which is unprecedented in turtles - with exceptions perhaps for the prehistoric turtles Proganochelys and Odontochelys - plus a pair of large tusks protruding upward from the lower jaws.
"It's a....a..." Spike said, eyes are bugging out.
"Ah, Gamera!" Tom Servo said in a Japanese like accent.
"Wait, you know this guy?" Rarity ask the robots.
"Well, normally, he was a monster in some of the films we watched." Crow said in shock and amazement. "But he was supposed to be fictional, nonexistent!"
"Well, he exists now, so I say we should kick his shell butt!" Rainbow exclaims, waving her hooves into the air.
"Hang on. He isn't bad. You'll see." Fluttershy said as she flies on forward.
"Fluttershy, what are you doing?" Twilight ask Fluttershy in alarm. Is her friend crazy?
"I will talk to him. Gamera is still lost and confused." Fluttershy then flies over to Gamera who looks down at her curiously. "Oh, hello there, big guy. My, you are a bit turtle, aren't you? You are a gentle creature, such a good good b..."
Suddenly Gamera chomps right at Fluttershy...and it looks like he bit her head off! Her friends and the robots scream in alarm, but the female yellow pony pops her head out, still attached. Fluttershy screams terrified as she flies past her stunned friends.
"SOMEONE KILL THIS STUPID THING!" Fluttershy cries out in horror.
Gamera roars as he pokes his head back into his shell, rolling right at the heroes...
-----------
The Royal Sisters appear with the humans in a flash. They gape as they saw Gamera attacking the heroes.
"What in the mane of Star Swirl the Bearded is that?!" Luna gasps in alarm and disbelief.
"Gamera! One of the monsters who appeared in the films we watch!" Joel exclaims in surprise.
"Isn't he supposed to be fictional?" Mike ask Joel in concern.
"Well, yes, but I'm shocked you ponies got him here."
"We don't." Celestia said seriously to the humans. "But you seem to know him: is there a way to stop Gamera?"
"To be honest, he was defeated or killed off in many ways, it's hard to keep up." Joel admits to Celestia in concern. "And even then, he was a bad guy. He often been on the good side."
"Well, unfortunately, Gamera is trying to destroy my students, your robot pals and Ponyville!"
"That is one messed up turtle." Mike said, looking at the scene in concern.
--------------------
"Here he comes!" Pinkie exclaims as Gamera poke his head out, firing a fireball at the gang.
-------------
"LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE!" Forrester laughs eagerly as he and the bad guys watch the fight breaking out.
-----------------------
Meanwhile, nearby another portal that appeared out of nowhere, something monstrous walked out as it roared. Somehow, it sensed the presence of another monster...
-------------------------------
Gamera put his head, arms and legs back in his shell as he started to spin around, destroying many buildings along the way, including...
"SUGARCUBE CORNER! NO!" Pinkie cried. "You were so young and innocent!"
Crow yelped as he, Tom, Gypsy and Cambot sat down to watch, Tom saying, "How ironic. If we were watching this from the safety of a television or movie screen, we'd probably be making all sorts of off-color commentary. But, somehow, it doesn't seem quite so cliché when it's happening for real."
"Well, who cares?" Gypsy said as she looked up.
Twilight frowns as she tries to aim her horn right at Gamera, but the magic only bounced off his shell. Twilight groaned. "No good. We need something to evenly match Gamera!"
"How about your Rainbow Powers you guys got when you fought Tirek?" Spike asked. "Think we can get that again?"
"I don't know! I don't even know HOW we activated it the first time!" Twilight sighed. "Besides, I don't think it's going to do any good..."
"Maybe we can get the Elements of Harmony!" Rainbow suggested. "We'll have to ask Princesses Celestia and Luna for permission to attain them from the Tree of Harmony, since this is THAT big of an emergency!"
Twilight nodded. "That could work! Spike, take a letter!"
Spike nodded as he got out a quill and paper and started to write on it as Twilight said, "Okay, let's make this quick. Dear Princess Celestia, Giant Turtle attacking the city, can't hold it off, need Elements of Harmony, permission to get them, PLEASE SAY YES! Signed, your ever-so faithful student, Twilight Sparkle."
Gamera roared as Spike quickly wrote the letter fast pace and blew it off as the fragments started to go off...
As Joel, Mike, Celestia and Luna were looking up towards the sky, they saw fragments coming over as it formed into a letter as Celestia read it. Celestia nodded. "I think the Elements of Harmony should be more than enough to stop this. Luna, go get them and teleport them over to my student and her friends right away!"
Luna nodded as she teleported out. Joel raised an eyebrow as he asked, "Elements of Harmony?"
"Six special items that we used to have control over, but now my student and friends have control over." Celestia said. "With the Elements of Harmony, I think they could use it to stop this... Gamera..."
All of a sudden, Luna appeared, holding with her magic a part of the Satellite of Love, in shocked eyes. "Sister... the Elements of Harmony... are gone!"
Celestia stared wide-eyed. "WHAT? IMPOSSIBLE!"
"It's true!" Luna said. "When I got here, I found this near the Tree of Harmony, and the elements that were once in the tree gone!"
Joel examined it. "Looks like a piece from our ship... I'm guessing when we crashed, this flew right over to the Tree of Harmony, activated it, and blasted the Elements to other parts of the world... whether it's your world or ours... we have no idea..."
Celestia gulped. "Unless another giant monster comes in... we're f**ked."
"Nothing's working!" Rarity screeched as Rainbow tried to charge at Gamera, but Gamera fought back as Rainbow missed and hit a tree.
"Watch out for that tree, George!" Crow riffed.
Rainbow groaned as she said, "We need a miracle... we need something to stop them..."
"Like another giant monster?" Pinkie said, looking in the other direction.
"How would another giant monster help?" Rainbow asked.
Pinkie pointed up. The Mane Six and the robots turned.
Nearby was a huge, tall lizard like monster that seemed to be the same size as Gamera, only with green skin and spikes on its' body. The monster then let out a triumphant roar.
"GODZILLA?" Tom and Crow said in surprise.
"...Another monster from one of the movies you riffed?" Twilight asked.
"Yes, but he made several movies... we only riffed at least two." Crow said. "As far as we know."
Godzilla then let out another roar, getting Gamera's attention. Gamera glared at Godzilla. Looks like it was going to be another showdown once again!
Gamera started the match by lifting up a stone wall as Godzilla charged straight at Gamera. Gamera then threw the wall at Godzilla, but Godzilla didn't even flinch.
"It's going to take more than a stone wall to get at me!" Tom riffed.
Gamera then blew his fire over at Godzilla, only for Godzilla to grab Gamera and started battling.
"Over at this corner, Godzilla gives the left jaw to Gamera! Oh, what a punch!" Crow riffed.
Godzilla then did a small flip at Gamera, causing Gamera to turn over to the ground, crushing several buildings. Godzilla then fired his atomic breath.
"Ah, take a breath mint, pal!" Rainbow said, as she decided to join Tom and Crow in their riffing.
"Godzilla's here too?" Forrester said, raising an eyebrow. "Interesting..."
"Hang on, let me find something in this book I found..." Brain Guy said as he started to look up more information on why Godzilla and Gamera were both here...
Gamera roars furiously as he picks up a house and throws it at Godzilla but the lizard charges right through it, then jumps up, sliding right at the turtle. The ponies and the robots laugh at this.
"Wow; that is funny!" Rainbow exclaims in amazement.
"It was in the film “Godzilla vs. Megalon”!" Crow remarks with a chuckle.
Gamera angrily fires his freath breath on Godzilla, but it didn't affect him. The King of Monsters slashes his opponent with his claws, only for Gamera to strike back with his own attack. Then he rams his head into Godzilla, hitting him in the jaw.
"Ouch!" Spike remarks with a cringe. "Looks like he's pissed now."
Yes, indeed. Godzilla, in fury, grabs his opponent and slams him into a building, destroying it, then grabs the turtle again, throwing him into a group of buildings, destroying them as well. As Godzilla backs up, the Friend to All Children fires with his Atomic Breath, destroying a house in the progress.
"My house!" Tom Servo screams in horror, commentating on this.
Godzilla in fury fires a fire breath at Gamera, hitting a car instead.
"My car!" Tom Servo exclaims in mock horror.
Gamera fires right back, somehow blowing up a mountain in the progress.
"My mountain!" Tom Servo exclaims in mock horror.
Godzilla fires a fire breath at the bridge nearby, blowing it up.
"My bridge!" Tom Servo screams out in mock horror.
Another round of fire later, another building gets blown up.
"My sub-dub-vision!" Tom Servo exclaims in mock horror. Soon another house got blown up. "Britney Spears's birth place! NO!"
"NO!" Crow and Pinkie cries out in shock and horror at this.
"Now stop that!" Twilight exclaims in annoyance by this nonsense.
Godzilla angrily grabs a tree and hits Gamera a few times. Applejack shock asked, "Does Godzilla used a tree?"
"No! This isn't the Godzilla we know, he's playing dirty!" Tom Servo exclaims in shock. Godzilla never uses a tree.
Gamera quickly fires fireballs at Godzilla, destroying the tree and knocking his opponent back a few times. Godzilla slams his tail onto the ground then uses a drop kick to charge at his opponent, knocking the turtle right onto his back. He tries to crush him, only for Gamera to retreats into his shell...and flies at the lizard, hitting him a few times.
Godzilla tries to use his atomic breath onto Gamera a few times, but kept missing his opponent. The turtle then hit the monster in the stomach, only for Godzilla to grab him. The turtle then flew upward into the sky, taking his opponent with him...
"Folks, we don't have any idea what's going on up in space." Pinkie said to the camera with a shrug. "Why not come back later?"
----------
The ponies of the Crystal Empire panics as the hole in the sky appears to be getting bigger. They feared that King Sombra, the tyrant who once ruled them all is back to conquer them all...or a new threat is here to capture them all. Either way, it doesn't look good, not at all.
Inside the Crystal Palace, the prince and princess, Twilight's brother Shining Armor and her former foalsitter Cadance, are giving out instructions. The pink Alicorn instructs, "Make sure every Crystal Pony who can't fight or defend themselves are indoors. We can't risk any pony getting hurt."
"Yes, your majesty." The servant said as he rushes out quickly.
"This is...shockingly intense." Shining said to Cadance, shaking his head. "Not since Tirek have we confronted anything big."
"I know, I know. We dealt with heavy threats like this before Shiny." Cadance said, nuzzling her partner lovingly. "We will do so again."
"Right. I am concerned though. We don't know what we're dealing with here."
Cadance was about to give out more words of encouragement when a commotion is heard outside the throne room, of gun fire and yelling. The royal couple look at each other in concern, then prepare themselves for whatever is going on.
Soon the doors blew up, knocking Shining and Cadance back. As they got up, the two find themselves surrounded by masked humans pointing their guns at them. The two got up as some sort of Chinese human who looks more like a non-Chinese man in bad clothes came in, smirking.
"Ah, you must be the rulers. You better get used to being overthrown." The man remarks wickedly. "I am Fu Manchu."
-------------------
The Royal Sisters and their friends yelps as Godzilla and Gamera slams back into Equestria, slamming into the ground outside of town. The two got up as thunder appears throughout the area like mad. Godzilla uses nature's electricity and fires his nuclear pulse to knock Gamera away from him, forming the turtle back into his shell.
"At this rate, they will destroy all of Ponyville and everyone trying to destroy one another!" Luna exclaims in horror. "There must be a way to stop them!"
"Well, if you got a way to make the fight faster, go ahead!" Mike exclaims to the Alicorns in frustration. "Otherwise, this fight will go on until its very end!"
"Then I know of a way to do so." Joel said as he took out a radio, speaking into it. "Gypsy, Gypsy! It's me, Joel!"
"Joel, what's the scoop?" Gypsy's voice came out from the other end.
"Get the tickle bazooka."
"Roger!"
As Joel put the radio away, the ponies and Mike look at him oddly. The man ask, "What?"
"You brought your inventions with you?" Mike ask Joel in amazement.
"Yeah, including the ones you made."
"Inventions?" Celestia ask, arching an eyebrow at this.
"We used to do an invention exchange on the Satellite of Love with Dr. Forrester and TV's Frank or Dr. Erhardt. Of course, they stopped doing them because Mike's low brand of humor." Joel explains to the Royal Sisters.
"Hey, not cool!" Mike exclaims to Joel, offended by that.
----------
"Can one of you ponies teleport me to the Satellite of Love real quick?" Gypsy ask one of the ponies quickly.
Twilight did not waste time as she teleport herself and Gypsy away from the area. A few seconds after the mad fight moves on, they came back with a bazooka that looks like it can fire feathers.
"What's that?" Fluttershy ask her new friends surprised.
"A tickle bazooka, which can tickle your opponents with feathers!" Crow explains with a smile. "Joel made it."
"One of you ponies must go up there and fire feathers at Gamera." Gypsy explains to the ponies quickly. Rainbow takes the invention as the robot continues. "There's a button at the bottom!"
Rainbow nods as she flies up with the tickle bazooka, rushing over to the battle. The monsters kept on battling, not noticing her appearance. That is until the Pegasus aims the bazooka at Gamera and press the button, sending feathers onto Gamera who stops and laughs madly while falling back a few times. Godzilla looks bewildered, not sure what's going on.
"Hey, what are you doing just standing there?!" Rainbow snaps to Godzilla who spots her. "Finish him already!"
Godzilla did not need a second invite. He grabs the laughing Gamera and throws him into the air. He fires his Spiral Atomic Breath and send it right through Gamera, causing both him and the shell to blow up. As all pieces of his opponent shatter into pieces around him, the King of Monsters let out a triumphant roar.
"Oh, poor turtle." Fluttershy said with a sigh.
"But what will we do about Godzilla?" Applejack ask her friends frantically. Rainbow fires feathers at Godzilla, causing him to laugh before falling down, the lizard rolls onto the ground with laughter. "Well, ‘dat answers 'dat."
-------------------------------------------------
After freezing Godzilla in an encased block of ice and putting him in a large fridge to ensure Godzilla will stay inside there for a long while (at least until the problem was solved), Twilight had gotten a letter from Princess Celestia ordering them for her and her friends to come over to the castle right away, and take the robots with them. She stopped midway through the letter when she saw the words 'The Fusing' and stopped, as her eyes widened.
"What?" Spike asked.
"We better get to Princess Celestia right now." Twilight said as she teleported her friends, the bots and herself right over to Celestia.
Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Joel and Mike waited as Twilight, her friends and the bots came onto the scene.
"JOEL! MIKE!" Tom cheered as Joel hugged Tom and Crow came over to Mike.
Crow looked over to Tom and Joel as he asked, "Hey, how about a little sugar for Crow, huh?"
"Man, it's good to see you guys." Joel smiled.
"Okay, princesses, what's up?" Twilight asked as Princess Celestia sighed.
"Sit down, it's going to be a long story..." Celestia sighed.
------------------------------------------
MUCH LATER...
-------------------------------------------
"Are you telling us that when the crash of the satellite collided with my castle, a part of it COINCIDENTALLY flew right to the Tree of Harmony, somehow DISLODGED the Elements of Harmony, BLASTED them into different parts of Earth and/or Equestria... and you don't know where on Earth OR Equestria they are?" Twilight glared at Celestia and Luna.
"Unfortunately, it would appear to be that way." Celestia said as she looked down.
"The Elemental What?" Crow asked in confusion.
"The Elements of Harmony." Twilight said. "They're a special type of magic contained in five necklaces and one crown that we used to have, but have since given back to the Tree of Harmony, long story."
"Indeed." Celestia nodded.
"What all of you may NOT know, however, is that when your satellite crashed into my castle, it inadvertently created something called 'The Fusing'." Twilight explained. "You see, 'The Fusing' happens when beings from another world... that's you... arrive and the Elements being separated... that's our Elements... will cause a lot of happenings within the world..."
"So, people like Gamera and Godzilla can just appear in your world, and ponies can exist in ours?" Mike asked.
"Something along the lines of that." Princess Luna nodded.
"There may even be points where one person from our world may fuse with someone from YOUR world." Twilight explained. "Although I've not quite figured out how. Honestly, until recently, I forgot about this..."
"In order for everything to be right again, we need to get ALL six of the Elements of Harmony to restore the balance." Celestia sighed. "Problem is, we don't know where they are..."
Gypsy paused as she said, "Did you say one of these Elements of Harmony was a crown?"
"Yeah... Element of Magic, my element." Twilight nodded.
Gypsy smiled as she opened her mouth and the purple crown slid out, right to the table.
"Whoa, good job, Gyps!" Tom said, impressed.
Twilight and the other ponies stared in surprise as Twilight said, "You- you FOUND one of the Elements of Harmony?"
"Well, found one of your elements, saved you some time, did a sixth of your job for you, call it what you will." Gypsy said.
"This is perfect!" Twilight smiled as she put the crown on her head. "If I can make it work right, I may be able to track down the remaining elements!"
All of a sudden, Cambot started to go off a bit as everyone turned. Joel blinked. "What's wrong, Cambot?"
All of a sudden, a projection activated in Cambot as we see six VERY familiar people staring at the screen.
Mike gasped. "BOBO! BRAIN GUY! FRANK! ERHARDT! A BLONDE PONY THAT'S BURNING! SOME SNAKE GUY WITH DR. FORRESTER'S FACE!"
"I think those last two you just mentioned are Pearl and Dr. Forrester." Joel whispered.
"Er, PEARL! DR. F!" Mike gasped.
"Chief!" Tom said.
"McCloud!" Crow said.
"Are those those Mads you told us about?" Celestia asked.
"Yes, they are." Joel said as everyone turned to the Mads. "I don't know HOW Dr. F turned into this OR how Pearl turned into that but... they must have used whatever they got to hack into Cambot's system!"
Everyone watched as both Pearl and Dr. Forrester started laughing maniacally... however, the sounds of them laughing was absent. Pearl gave a smirk as she started mouthing words.
Pinkie blinked. "Uh... where's the sound?"
"Uh, Pearl, Dr. F, excuse us!" Joel called as Pearl stopped in confusion. "Your microphones, they're not working!"
Pearl blinked as she put on her glasses and started to examine the controls as Dr. Forrester glared at Frank, who backed down.
"Maybe you should click on the button with the picture of the microphone, maybe?" Celestia sighed.
"Well, this is the first time this has ever happened." Rarity said in shock.
"Hello?" Pearl's voice was called as she pushed a button, their images disappeared. "Hello?"
"Okay, yeah, we can hear you now, Pearl... but NOW we cannot see you." Joel sighed.
"This could be annoying..." Rainbow sighed.
"It's like talking to my grandparents." Twilight rolled her eyes.
We then see Pearl getting the image back as she asked, "Did I get it now?"
"YAY!" Everyone cheered.
"Good, good." Pearl smiled.
"Okay, let's start over." Dr. Forrester said as both Pearl and Dr. Forrester did their evil laugh again.
"BOBO! BRAIN GUY! ERHARDT! FRANK! PEARL AS A BLONDE PONY! DR. FORRESTER AS A SNAKE LIKE CREATURE!" Mike gasped.
"Chief!" Tom said again.
"McCloud!" Crow laughed.
The ponies then started staring down.
"Hello, Mike, Joel, bots... I like to introduce our new player... you know him, my son, Clayton... also known as Dr. Clayton Forrester?" Pearl smiled.
"Hello, Joel, Mike... and the pussycats... how do you like my new look?" Forrester smiled.
"You look like Discord..." Twilight blinked.
"Quiet, purple one! I wasn't referring to you!" Clayton glared.
"Anyway, you've no doubt already been acquainted with the beautiful world of Equestria?" Pearl smiled.
"I know we have!" Bobo smiled.
"Shut it, Bobo." Pearl frowned. "Let me and Clayton do the talking!"
"Sorry, Lawgiver." Bobo said, backing down.
"Anyway, we have a BRAND new evil plan!" Clayton smiled. "No doubt you've heard of the Elements of Harmony! Well, we're going to track them down and turn them into Elements of EVIL, where we can dominate the world of Equestria!"
"Turn our elements to ones of evil?" Pinkie gasped. "You're mad!"
"Well, sad to say, Forrester, your plan already failed!" Twilight glared. "We already HAVE one of the elements secured, and I'll be using it to track down the others before YOU even arrive."
"You have? Why did we call you then? Weird..." Pearl paused. "OH, wait, maybe it was to show you THIS!"
Clayton smirked as he pulled out a tracking device. "My newest invention, Joel! This is an element tracker! It can track the elements ANYWHERE on our world OR this one! And the best part is... it can teleport ANYBODY to where the element IS!"
The ponies gasped.
"Holy s***..." Fluttershy muttered.
"That is a faster method, isn't it?" Twilight muttered...
"Well... this could be trouble..." Joel paused.
"Yeah..." Tom groaned.
"Oh, but the party is just getting started!" Pearl smirked. "Once we get our old bodies back, and we get YOUR element AFTER we get the others, we will enslave all of Equestria AND our world... while you guys can sit back and watch more crappy movies... or fanfictions, whichever one we decide... that we can pick out!"
"We're just getting started on this adventure!" Dr. Forrester laughed. "Now, if you'll EXCUSE us, we're going to go find our first element... I believe it just located the Element of LOYALTY!"
Rainbow Dash gasped. "My element!"
"Good-bye for now, dolts! Push the button, Frank!" Dr. Forrester ordered.
"Just like old times!" Frank smiled as he pushed a button... he paused as he tried to push the button. "Wait, Dr. F, which one is the button to hang up?"
"I don't know..." Dr. Forrester said as he examined it. "Mother, which one is the button?"
"Sheesh, don't you know?" Pearl groaned as she put on her glasses again.
"Let me see that..." Brain Guy frowned. "You should really label these..."
"Is it this one?" Bobo pointed.
"I don't know..." Erhardt blinked.
"Is it not this on-" Dr. Forrester said as he pushed a nearby button and THAT was the hang-up button as Cambot reactivated again.
The ponies looked at each other in worry...
-------------
Cadance hates being captured, especially by monsters like Tirek and Chrysalis. She and Shining are chained up like wild ponies, muzzled to keep them quiet...standing in front of a new foe that caught them unprepared.
"Yes...after "interrogating" your servants, they mentioned some sort of Crystal Heart." Xu Manchu said to the rulers wickedly. "I will find it...and use it to power up a device that will freeze everything in this world. Then, they will meet my demands."
Xu Manchu gave out a cruel chuckle as he prepares to make his plans. Unknown to him, Cadance quietly wrote a message with her magic. The villain didn't think of blocking her magic, maybe because this is the first time he been here. The Princess of Love must get a message out to Twilight and her friends, quickly.
Once the message is done, Cadance wave a spell onto the message, causing it to teleport out. She hopes Twilight can get this message, before this Xu Manchu gets the Crystal Heart!
'Hurry, Twilight. For Auntie's sake, hurry'. Cadance thought to herself in worry, looking at Shining who looks back in concern.
"Hey folks, sorry for not speaking for a while. Anyhoo, while things are going to Tartartus, the ponies and the humans...need a plan."
"We need a plan!" Twilight exclaims, pacing back and forth in the room.
"Twilight, relax." Celestia said to her fellow princess with a sigh. "We will find a way to fix this."
"But the bad guys got a head start! We don't have anything that can help us locate the Elements. By the time we do get one, they would’ve got the Element of Loyalty by then."
"My element in the claws of those creeps?!" Rainbow yells in shock and alarm. "No way!"
"Ponies, girls, you all are beautiful!" Mike exclaims to the ponies, making them look a bit embarrassed. "I'm sure we can find a way. Now, Joel? Can you whiff something up in a hurry?"
"Not sure, Mike." Joel said with a sigh, looking concerned. "We will need more than an invention. We need a guide."
"You want one? You got him!" A familiar voice exclaims as Discord appear...or in this case, a spiritual form of the Spirit of Chaos and Disharmony.
"GAHHHHH!" Most of everyone exclaims in alarm by this.
"A ghost!" Gypsy exclaims with a whimper.
"Discord, there you are." Fluttershy said, flying over to her friend. She notices something wrong. "You look..."
"Transparent? I know. I was fused with that Clayton jerk." Discord scoffs as he crosses his arms, pouting like a baby. "Me. The Spirit of Chaos and Disharmony, having his body hijacked."
"Right now, we're involved in something called "The Fusing"." Luna explains, making Discord arch an eyebrow at this. "You know of this?"
"Sounds familiar to me...sort of..."
"We need to find a way to locate the rest of the elements before our enemies do." Twilight explains to Discord seriously. "But we don't know how to get to."
"Well, I may not be in control of my body, I can talk to you in spirit form. I can sense into Forrester's mind right now...and know where he's heading." Discord explains, much to everyone's delight.
"Wonderful! You can tell us where they're going, and we will beat them there."
"You want help? We're there!" Rainbow exclaims with a smile, landing in front of her leader. "No one gets their hands on our elements!"
"We're with you guys one hundred percent!" Pinkie said, holding up a brave face.
"Shoot, 'de Element o' Honesty won't back out o' dis!" Applejack exclaims, looking determined to help her friend.
"Oooh, fun, fun!" Pinkie exclaims, wearing a lot of silly stuff, bringing her party cannon, etc. "Can't wait!"
"Well, the last thing I want is to live in a world that is going to Tartartus in a hoof basket." Rarity said, moving her mane up. "So count me in, Darling."
"Well, uh, I prefer not to do any fighting..." Fluttershy said meekly. "But...if it's to help my friends, I will help."
"All right, I'm in!" Spike exclaims, rubbing his claws with a smile. "And no one tell me otherwise!"
"The humans and the robots will come with you as well." Celestia said to the ponies and Spike with a smile.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait, wait, wait," Discord said as everyone looked up to him. "Are you telling us that these guys are joining them on their quest? These... movie riffers?"
"So?" Crow shrugged. "What's the problem?"
"They know about the monsters or anything from their films then we do, Discord." Luna explains to Discord in concern. "If anything from them appear, they will give out the info."
"They aren't fighters, more like hecklers!" Discord exclaims with a frown, crossing his arms. "I know, I read Forrester's mind and saw his opinion of them."
"Well, hey, give us a chance." Joel said with a smile. "We can fight when we could...and our inventions will give us the advantage."
"Well, fine. Whatever."
"Come on, guys, we've got Adventure Sign!" Mike smiled.
"What?" Twilight asked.
"Sorry, being holed in the Satellite of Love too long, you'd get used to these sort of things!" Mike said as everyone started to head out for adventure.
Suddenly without warning, a message appear, startling everyone. Twilight floats it over to her and opens it. The Alicorn looks it over, gasping in worry.
"Twilight? What's wrong?" Fluttershy ask Twilight, noting the worried look on her friend's face.
"The Crystal Empire had been taken by a new enemy." Twilight said seriously. She turns to the humans and robots, asking, "Do any of you know anyone named Fu Manchu?"
Joel and the robots' eyes widen in horror. They look at each other...and screams like pansies.
--------------------
The bad guys are on their way to the area where the Element of Loyalty is at. Erhardt groans, giving out a look of jealousy towards Frank. He can't believe Forrester went and replace him like that! What kind of a friend is he?! Not only that, but the scientist didn't tell him about anything else, like his mother, etc.
Well, Dr. Erhardt is determined to get his position as Forrester's sidekick back no matter what.
"Hey, guys...perhaps we should keep track of our enemies." Dr. Earhardt spoke up, getting the others' attention. "That way, we can give them distractions."
"Well, Lawrence...for someone who has been gone for a while...you came up with a brilliant idea." Forrester said thoughtfully. "Hey, Brainiac!"
"It's Brain Guy." Brain Guy said to Forrester dryly.
"How about giving out a distraction for Mike, his robots and ponies?"
Brain Guy pauses as he made two portals appear, showing the matter at the Friendship Rainbow Kingdom castle and the Crystal Empire. He blinks and spoke, "Apparently, they would be visit with something called Fu Manchu at the moment."
"Fu Manchu?!" TV's Frank gasps, making a horrified scream.
"Fu Manchu?! Not Fu Manchu?!" Professor Bobo screams, feeling wanting to faint. "Uhhhh...who's Fu Manchu?"
"Another villain from a bad film played by Christopher Lee." Forrester explains to the monkey, rolling his eyes. "His movie almost drove Joel and the robots...along with me and Frank at the end of the experiment...crazy."
"Ahhhh. Looks like we got our distraction." Pearl remarks with an evil laugh. "But maybe we can give Mr. Manchu a helping hand. Brain Guy? Keep an eye on them...give them some distractions."
"Yes, madam." Brain Guy said with a nod. As the villains kept on walking, the Observer kept on keeping an eye, planning to use any distractions with his powers.
----------------------------------------
Meanwhile, out in the field, Joel, Mike, the bots and the Mane Six were now driving around in a vehicle that Joel quickly invented in the last possible moment so that they could avoid walking as they were using the little car to start driving through the grassy terrain.
"Is this safe?" Applejack asked.
"Well, it has to be, doesn't it?" Tom said. "Joel's driving."
"That's right." Joel nodded. "Well, at least we're making some good progress..."
As Joel kept driving, the robots were marveling at the site of Equestria.
"So, this is a really nice hometown you have..." Crow smiled.
"Thanks. Despite it going through the Fusing, it's actually a pretty nice place." Twilight smiled.
Joel nodded as Twilight paused.
"So, Tom, Crow, Gypsy, when you first got back on Earth, what were your first feelings on it?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"Well..." Tom said. "It was a little more realistic than what we're used to."
"Yeah, after nearly two hundred crappy movies and plain photographs, we were impressed with the quality of this reality." Crow explained.
"Yep, we saw a lot of places passing by... a lot of fast food restaurants... oh, and Sears! That's where babies come from!" Gypsy smiled.
Pinkie and the other ponies shook their heads in shock as Pinkie said, "Wait, what?"
Joel sighed as he turned towards the ponies for a second. "Gypsy asked me that question once, and I kind of panicked."
"Oh..." The ponies nodded.
"Say, when you ponies decide to visit Earth, if any of you want to come with, we want to go to Coleman Francis's grave and spit on it. Willing to join?" Crow asked.
"...eh, maybe some other time." Rarity said, uncomfortable with the idea.
As Joel kept driving, Mike paused. "You know, there's something I feel we forgot... what was it?"
Back inside the castle, Princess Luna and Princess Celestia decided to go down to the dungeon as they opened the door... and all of a sudden, Tricia ran out, breathing.
Princess Luna blinked. "Oh yeah... forgot about you."
Tricia growled. "WHERE ARE THEY?"
"They just left." Celestia said. "They should be at the Crystal Empire..."
At those words, Tricia IMMEDIATELY ran out the door of the castle.
"Oh well, probably nothing important." Mike said as he relaxed.
All of a sudden, everything started going black as Joel blinked. "Is it me or is the sky getting darker..."
"Hang on, let me shine some light..." Twilight said as she started to make her horn glow.
A loud buzzing is heard, getting everyone's attention. Spike ask nervously, "What is that loud buzzing?"
"Wait, it sounds familiar." Mike said in concern. Where have he heard that buzzing before?
"INCOMING!" Tom Servo screams like a girl as he saw something.
The gang yelps as something rushes by, knocking them out of their car, knocking it over. As they got up, the Heroes gasps as a huge mantis like creature flew overheard, roaring in fury.
"It's a huge mantis creature!" Fluttershy cries out in horror.
"Worst. It's the Deadly Mantis!" Crow cries out. "It mates, then it kills."
"Eeeew!" Some of the heroes exclaims in disgust. The gang watch as the Deadly Mantis flew back, preparing for another run.
"Here's an idea." Joel said to his friends nervously.
"What?"
"RUN!"
The gang runs off with the Deadly Mantis in hot pursuit. And what do you, Tricia of all people arrives on the scene (don’t ask me how she caught up so quickly), frowning.
"There you guys are! Now..." Tricia looks confused as the others rush past her. "Where the hell are you going?!"
"Run, run, run!" Rarity calls out to Tricia. She turns and saw the Deadly Mantis almost upon her.
"AW HELL!"
Tricia rush off, joining the others as the Deadly Mantis kept on the pursuit. Twilight and her friends scream as they run off the new comers.
"AHHHHH! WE'RE DEAD IN THE DESERT!!!!" Tom Servo exclaims frantically.
"It's a bug hunt, man, a bug hunt!" Crow whines a bit like mad.
"Rarity, look out!" Spike screams in alarm.
Rarity looks up, screaming as the Deadly Mantis flew down and is prepared to grab her...
"Okie dokie lokie! This is where you came in. Caught up so far? Good, let's move on!"
Suddenly Rainbow flew in and kicks at the Deadly Mantis, causing it to roar and miss Rarity. The Pegasus yells out, "Yeah, next time you wanna get my pals, don't!"
"Quick, Mike, how did the heroes in the Deadly Mantis kill this one?!" Twilight calls out to Mike in concern.
"Well, a plane crashes into it, the Deadly Mantis fell into the tunnel; the men fire bullets and bombs and The End." Mike explains to Twilight frantically.
"Buck it! We don't have any bullets or bombs with us!"
"You want bombs?! You got them, bitch!" Tricia snaps as she took out some sort of bomb and threw it at the Deadly Mantis.
The bomb blew up, causing the Deadly Mantis to roar as...it turns into a frozen Popsicle. The gang yelps and moves as the monster hits the floor, breaking into pieces.
"Wow." The ponies said, glancing at the remains of the Deadly Mantis.
"You think you're the only one with inventions, Joel Robinson?!" Tricia laughs at Joel in amusement. "I can invent too. Men. Go fig."
"Well, thanks for the help, Tricia." Joel said awkwardly, rubbing the back of his head. "But we need to get to the Crystal Empire. Fu Manchu just took over."
"Fu what now?"
"A Chinese terrorist from a movie we watced." Crow said, shuddering. "The movie itself is more terrifying than the villain."
"Well, the car is a wreck." Gypsy sighs as she glances at the remains of the car that got knocked over by the Deadly Mantis. "We will have to go on by foot."
"And you, pal, own me an explanation for stealing the Satellite of Love!" Tricia exclaims sternly to Mike as the gang moves on.
"D'oh!" Mike exclaims, slapping himself on the forehead in annoyance.
-----------
"The Deadly Mantis is down." Brain Guy said sternly as the Villains watch what happened. "They have to go to the Crystal Empire on foot."
"At least the delay can keep them busy long enough for us to steal the Element of Loyalty." Pearl remarks with a grunt as she kept her eye on the element tracker. "Meantime, you send in something else."
"Ooh! I got an idea for one!" Frank exclaims with a smile, waving. "And I got a doozy!"
"Right, doozy." Dr. Erhardt remarks dryly, rolling his eyes a bit.
------------
It was nighttime as the gang stops to get some sleep for the night. Twilight teleports the group across ways but she wants to rest a bit. Most of the ponies are sleeping, the robots are sleeping (if you call it that). The only ones not sleeping are Mike, Joel, Tricia and Twilight, Tricia is giving a suspicious look at Mike.
"Geez, stop looking at me." Mike remarks in annoyance to Tricia. "You act like I'm your father or something."
"Eck, gross!" Tricia exclaims in disgust. "Don't even go there, butthead!"
"So...Mike? Do you...ever miss your family?" Twilight ask Mike, getting his attention.
"Well, often. I got an abusive brother who is a major ass. Crow once told me that he took my role when he went back in time to try to talk me out of taking temporarily jobs for a while."
"Wait, you can change the past? Really?"
"Yeah, it's much confusing. Crow left an extra himself in the past." Joel remarks, giving out a chuckle. "Actually, it's amusing. If you left another you in the past, you can get more dates that way."
"But it will make a paradox! A paradox double is always doomed!" Twilight exclaims, waving her upper hooves in the air. "At least, that's what I was told."
"Ha! Paradox doubles. A bunch of nonsense." Tricia remarks with a scoff. "You, pony, have seen too many books."
"So Mike, I've heard the robots saying you've caused a lot of...problems?"
Mike looks a bit awkward at that. He rubs the back of his head, explaining, "Well, I sometimes causes some problems. I've blew up three worlds."
"You've blew up 3 worlds?!" Tricia and Twilight yells in shock and alarm.
"Hey, hey, not on purpose! The first time, I've made the mistake of helping the apes and some mutants activate a huge bomb. The second time, I've helped Mrs. Forrester and Bobo escaped. The third time, the same thing only with Brain Guy. I may be the destroyer of worlds, but I am not doing so intentionally."
"Boy, you really makes me wanna kick your ass!" Tricia remarks to Mike, making him gulp a bit.
"Listen, we need to get some sleep. Maybe then we will have an early start to the empire, get rid of Fu Manchu and..." Joel stops as a noise is heard. "What's that?"
"What's what?" Twilight ask as she looks around. The noise is heard. "What the hay is that?!"
"Maybe it's one of the others snoring or whatever you call it." Tricia remarks dryly. "I swea..."
Suddenly a roar is heard as some sort of creature holding a bat appears. This woke the others up, causing them to scream with Crow screaming in a girlish voice.
"WHO ARE YOU?!" Fluttershy screams in horror at the newcomer.
"Uh...Packers!" The creature exclaims as he waves his bat at Fluttershy who yelps and dodges.
"Mike, Mike! It's the zombie from "Zombie Nightmare"! What are we gonna do?!" Crow whines a bit in horror.
"How did you know it's the zombie from that movie?" Mike yells as the Zombie Nightmare zombie Tony Washington growls, trying to hurt Spike who rolls out of the way.
"The bat and the T-Shirt "I Survived Zombie Nightmare and All I Got Was This Damn T-Shirt" gave it away!"
"Oh."
---------------------------------------
Meanwhile, over at the Crystal Empire, Cadance was looking out the window in concern as she sighed. She was now really hoping Twilight and her friends would hurry this up...
"Come on, Twilight, you've got to help... your brother needs you, I need you... and who knows what Fu Manchu is doing with that Crystal Heart now..." Cadance said in concern.
-------------------------------------------
Back with the Mad Scientists, Pearl smiled as she looked at the tracker. "Not too far now..."
Frank looked around as he said, "Have you noticed the backgrounds of this place is suddenly changing?"
"Who cares about that, Frank? The sooner we find the elements, the better!" Dr. Forrester frowned.
"I'm just saying, the background that's usually so colorful and cheerful, it looks like something from one of the experiments..." Frank said.
"Let's just keep trudging." Pearl said. "Come on!"
The ponies and gang dodges the zombie's bat wrath, it growls madly while trying kill them.
"Mike, guys! How was the zombie beaten in "Zombie Nightmare"?"! Twilight calls out to the guys frantically.
"Adam West shot at him." Crow explains to Twilight.
"He shot him?!"
"Yeah, after shooting the voodoo lady that brought him back to life after Tony was run down by teenagers. Yeah, doesn't make sense to me either."
"Oh, well, maybe someone could try to speak to him." Fluttershy said meekly. "I mean...we didn't kill him so uh..."
"Allow me, I am a lady." Rarity said, clearing her throat as she comes up to Tony Washington who looks at her, growling puzzled. "Dear sir; we aren't the ones you are wanting to...bash brains in with the bat or whatever you zombies like to do. So if you please be a gentlemen and go on your merry way, we will participate it."
"Rarity, this is a zombie. They only understand carnage and brain eating." Rainbow said in annoyance and disbelief to Rarity.
"Come on, I'm sure that as he is a gentleman who became a monster by being run down, there must be some..."
The zombie however grabs Rarity by the mane, causing her to scream in pain. Tricia yelps out, "Okay, democracy's over. Time to get serious!"
"Why so serious?!" Tom Servo laughs like mad.
"Oh, stop that!" Twilight exclaims, freaking out. "I can't blast the zombie with Rarity in the way! Does anyone have any ideas."
"Ooh, I know! I read when you cut a zombie's head off, it stays dead!" Spike exclaims eagerly, getting an idea on how to stop the zombie.
"Well, luckily I got this!" Pinkie exclaims, holding out a machete, making some of the heroes yelp a bit. "Someone keep the zombie busy!" Rarity screams loudly, making the zombie growl at her. "Thank you, Rarity!"
Pinkie bounces right onto the zombie's back, making it yelp as she quickly sticks the weapon right in the monster's neck. The zombie formerly known as Tony Washington roars in pain as she cut right through his neck.
"Ugh! That's one way to get rid of a zombie!" Joel exclaims in disgust.
"Aaaaaand done!" Pinkie exclaims happily as she cut the zombie's head right off, causing the body to fall off.
Tricia quickly kicks the head, sending it flying into the distance. The girl smirks as she calls out, "Field goal! 10 points!"
"Ugh, glad that's over." Rarity said, putting a hoof to her chest. "I don't know if I should feel relief or horrified of you wielding a weapon, Pinkie Pie."
"Be glad I ain't serving cupcakes." Pinkie said with an insane look, making the others gulp in worry. "Just kidding! Or am I?"
"I'm staying away from you tonight!" Gypsy whimpers as she moves away from Pinkie.
"Me too!" Rainbow exclaims, flying into a tree, holding onto a branch while looking at Pinkie in concern. Last thing she wants is to be next on the list.
"All right, all right, everyone, let's get some sleep." Joel said with a sigh, motioning the others to get back to sleep. "We got a long way to go since we got no car."
"Yeah, and who knows what Fu Manchu would do with the Crystal Heart by now." Twilight said in worry, fearing of what Fu Manchu would do with the Crystal Heart in his possession.
Twilight fears the worst for Equestria right now.
"We must leave before dawn." Mike said in concern to the others.
"Why so early?" Applejack ask Mike puzzled.
"Because we're in the middle of some wasteland. And we may not get far once that sun gets overhead."
As Mike points up to the sky, we dissolved to morning as the sun appears...
"Nice dissolve." Pinkie's voice comments on the dissolving.
------------
Fu Manchu smiles eagerly as he looks at the Crystal Heart on display. Of course, at the same time, he looks annoyed that his men are trying to remove it but kept getting zapped. The power obviously saw the evil in their hearts and won't let them near it.
"Sir, so far, no dice." One of the minions grunts a bit. "It keeps repelling us."
"Hmmm, only those true of heart must be the one to get it." Fu Manchu said thoughtfully while scratching his chin. "From what we were told from forcing the information from these ponies, King Sombra tried to get it. Nowadays..."
Fu Manchu pauses as he looks at the tower where Cadance is being held. Looks like it's time to question this Crystal Empire's ruler.
Fu Manchu will get what he wants, one way or another...
--------------
"Ugh! Water, water..." Twilight groans as she walks on, trying her best to get to the Crystal Empire...which is still MILES AWAY!
"Water, water..." Spike sighs a bit from the walking...which Twilight is doing while on his back.
"Spike, you're riding on my back. You are hardly walking at all!"
"I still want water..."
"Oil, oil..." Crow groans a bit, getting a bit thirsty.
"Room service, room service." Tricia groans a bit, complaining as she walks on.
"Okay, I think we referenced "Spaceballs" long enough." Mike said to the others with a sigh. "Seriously though? We won't get far without anything to drink, eat, or..."
"Wait, you needed food or drinks? No problem!" Pinkie exclaims, dumping out a lot of water and food from...who knows where, along with some oil. "Just ask!"
"I don't even wanna know how you did that." Tricia snaps as she grabs a canteen, drinking from it. "Thank God."
"We still need transportation." Fluttershy reminds her friends sadly. "And I don't know how long the wings can keep us Pegasi or Alicorn a..."
"Wait, what's that?" Mike ask as he notices a car zooming right towards them.
"A ride!" Twilight exclaims with a smile as she trots on forward. "We could ask the driver if he can take us to the Crystal Empire!"
"How would we know?"
"We just gotta ask. Just stick out your hooves!"
The gang stick out their hooves/thumbs/whatever they got. They saw the car slowing down, which means that the driver must've noticed them. Once the vehicle stops, the gang saw it was some sort of rough man in Plaid clothes. Joel and the bots are the first to recognize him.
"JOE DON BAKER!" Joel and the bots exclaims. He yelps and dodges some bullets from the man’s gun that he’s wielding. "Gah!"
"Damn it, whatcha folks doing calling me that for?!" The man snaps as he got out of the car. "And for the record, it's Mitchell."
"Just call him by name!" Pinkie exclaims happily, making Mitchell look at her oddly. "What?"
"Sir, sorry if my friends offended you." Twilight apologizes to Mitchell with a smile. "We had a long day."
"Great, a talking ass." Mitchell groans, slapping himself on the forehead. "Ever since some flash, I have...on second thought, screw that, I ain't interested in telling."
"Good! We don't wanna hear about it." Tom Servo said happily, he yelps as Mitchell growls at him. "Never mind."
"Sir, sir, we need a ride to the Crystal Empire." Fluttershy said meekly to Mitchell.
"Why?" Mitchell ask with a glare, making Fluttershy whimper. "Damn it, I got other things to do than picking up damn hitchhikers."
"Hey, we need to get to the Crystal Empire to save it from some man who looks Chinese." Joel explains to Mitchell clearly. "So if you could find it in your heart..."
"Or whatever you got under your tards of fat." Crow exclaims with a chirp to Joel.
"...you could help us."
"Come on, please, please, please?" The ponies pleads to Mitchell, giving them hopeful squees.
"Ugh, damn it. I hate it when...fine...but you all gotta sit in the back!" Mitchell groans, giving in to the cute looks. "And keep your arms to yourselves!"
"How the hell are we supposed to sit back there?" Tricia ask, looking at the size of Mitchell's car.
"This is Joe Don Baker! Physics don't reply to him." Tom Servo explains to Tricia happily as the gang got in the car.
"And stop calling me Joe Don Baker!" Mitchell exclaims in irritation at the bot for calling him "Joe Don Baker".
---------------------
Mitchell drove the gang right through the area. With the rest from walking, the gang was able to recover for their adventure. Eventually, they reach the boundaries of the Crystal Empire area. Upon stopping on arrival, everyone got out and look over a hill. There are guards out front, guarding the entrance to the empire.
"So how are we going to get by them?" Rainbow ask her friends in concern. "They will shoot at us."
"We just need some sort of trick to sneak by them." Joel said, scratching his chin a bit. "They don't look smart..."
"Neither are you punks." Jo...err, I mean Mitchell said, grunting as he checks his gun. "We just go in guns a-blazing."
"And kill us?! Are you mad?!" Rarity yelps to Mitchell in horror.
"This is Mitchell, he is mad." Mike said to Rarity dryly.
"Oooh, oooh, I got an idea!" Pinkie exclaims, bouncing up and down happily. "One of us could pretend to be a bounty hunter, taking in captives for Fu Manchu...that way, we can get in and really help stop those meanies."
"Hmmm, sounds like an idea. But who will be the bounty hunter?"
"Say, Mitchell?" Applejack ask Mitchell who looks up to her. "Mind givin' us a hoof?"
--------------
The guards thought they have saw it all, especially from their line of work with Fu Manchu. But seeing a cowboy, bringing in some humans and some ponies by rope sorta beats it all.
"Halt, who goes there?" One of the guards demands to the cowboy.
"I am Sheriff Thomas Jefferson Geronimo III." The man known as Geronimo remarks with a grunt. "Your boss send me to catch these folks and critters for questioning."
"You will never take us alive, copper." Mike remarks, making a raspberry noise at the cop. He yelps as Geronimo pushes him.
"Enough out of you!"
"We weren't informed of this." The second guard said with a suspicious frown. "I should call the boss."
"Fine, go ahead...but he won't be happy if you assholes bug him or questioning about his orders." Geronino comments. Hearing that made the guards worried. "Yeah, if you wanna call and check, go ahead...but Fu Manchu won't be pleased if he finds out one of his men questioned an order..."
"Err, on second thought, you go on ahead." The first guard said nervously as he motions Geromino and his captives to go on. No need to question Fu Manchu's orders and get into trouble.
"The boss should be questioning the pink pony with a horn and wings right now." The second guard said with a nod.
Geronimo grunts as he leads the captives away. The group waited until they are out of hearing range. Then Pinkie giggles, "Hee hee. Those meanies aren't so smart after all."
"Eeyup! Thanks fer 'de assistance, Mitchell." Applejack said, giving a wink to Geronimo, who is really Mitchell in disguise.
"I don't do this for everyone, just be glad I ain't on my drinking spree or whatever I like doing." Mitchell remarks, annoyed that he has to play cowboy just because some folks got him to help out.
"And the fact that Joe Don Baker played both Geronimo and you may help." Mike quips a bit, making Mitchell frowns. "What?"
-----------------
Pretty soon, the group were near a crossroads.
"Okay, we better split up." Twilight said. "Obviously, I need Mitchell to go with Applejack, Rainbow and Pinkie. Fluttershy, Rarity, Spike, stick with me. Mike, Joel, robots, go with Applejack's group. They may need you for advice on how to defeat Fu Manchu."
"All right." Joel nodded. "Where are you guys going?"
"To free my brother and sister-in-law!" Twilight said. "We may need their help too. Come on!"
With that said, Applejack, Rainbow, Pinkie, Mitchell, Mike, Joel and the bots went to the left, whilst Twilight, Fluttershy, Rarity and Spike went to the right... leaving behind a flabbergasted Tricia.
Tricia then annoyingly said, "Uh, thanks a lot, f**kers!"
------------------------------------------------
Twilight, Fluttershy, Rarity and Spike walked as Spike said, "Okay, it's simple enough, we find Cadance, we free her, the Crystal Empire goes back to normal, and we continue our search for the Elements."
"I just hope we're not too late..." Fluttershy sighed as the four were nearing a corner, which, unbeknownst to them, someone was also rounding.
"FU MANCHU!" Twilight, Rarity, Fluttershy and Spike screamed upon coming face to face with Fu Manchu.
"More of you?" Fu Manchu frowned. "Guards!"
"RUN!" Rarity screamed as the four started to run.
"AFTER THEM!" Fu Manchu screamed as he and some guards started to give chase.
The four quickly rush into a building...with doors in it. Spike yells out, "Scramble!"
The four rush through different doors as Fu Manchu and the guards rush after them. Some of the gang rush in and out of the doors. Rarity rush out through a car for some reason and in through another door. Twilight and Spike chased by a guard rush out...on the ceiling....and through another door. Fluttershy rush down a hallway and bumps into Fu Manchu, knocking both down as the others peek out of the doors in confusion before they go back into the doors, with Fluttershy and Fu Manchu rushing off.
Eventually, the door chase ends when Twilight's group rush out of the building. Twilight snaps, "I don't even want to know what just happened back there."
The group yelps as Fu Manchu appears, blocking them. The guards appear behind the girls and Dragon. Looks like they're trapped.
"This game of cat and mouse shall cease." Fu Manchu said wickedly to the group. "Now you shall tell me how the Crystal Heart works."
"What do you even want with it?" Fluttershy ask Fu Manchu nervously.
"With its power, I shall power a device that shall freeze everything in this world. Then your rulers must meet my demands...or else."
"Wait, what? 'Freeze everything'?" Twilight ask Fu Manchu in disbelief. "If you froze everything, wouldn't it make it hard for them to do so? They won't be moving at all."
"Honestly, what kind of plan is that anyway?" Spike ask Fu Manchu with a scoff. "Now unless you mean putting Equestria in another Ice Age, then yeah, that would make sense...but freezing everything literally?"
"Look, does it matter?! I am Fu Manchu! Your race's existence means nothing to me!" Fu Manchu exclaims in frustration to the heroes. "Now..."
Fu Manchu yelps as some gunshots almost hit him. He glares as Mitchell was shooting at him, snapping, "Get your goddamn frigging hands away from the ponies, Fool Man-doofish!"
"I have no idea whom you are, but you made a terrible mistake."
"So are you in that getup!" Mike remarks as he and his pals join the battlefield, so to speak. "Did your mom dressed you?"
"Yeah. And while we're at it, why don't you go back to Middle Earth and try to get a ring, Saruman?" Tom Servo jokes a bit, making Crow laugh like mad.
"Yeah, he does look like him a bit." Crow remarks with a frown, making Sar...err, I mean Fu Manchu at this.
"May the Force be with us; Wow, looks like the James Bond villain has missed his nipple."
"Blah blah blah. Drac is dumb, blah."
"All right, that's enough!" Fu Manchu exclaims, getting angry by the insults, having enough. "Now you all shall suffer the wrath of my pet!"
Suddenly stomping noises are heard as the guards yelp, running for the hills. The gang saw a 30 foot Gila monster appearing, roaring viciously. Rainbow gasps, "It's a giant Gila Monster!"
"Yeah, the same one that replaces Godzilla vs. Megalon in the DVD cases!" Joel exclaims in surprise at the sight of the monster.
"Back off, ugly!" Twilight exclaims sternly as she flies right at the monster...only for it to swipe its tail at the Alicorn, sending her flying.
"Twilight!" Most of the heroes exclaims in shock and alarm as the princess is send flying.
Mitchell opens fire on the Giant Gila Monster who roars and slashes at the mad man who quickly dodges. He exclaims, "Damn it. This isn't how I made a living!"
"Tell me yew fellers know how 'ta stop 'dis vermint!" Applejack exclaims as she kicks the Giant Gila Monster in the face.
"He was destroyed in an explosion!" Joel exclaims as he dodges the Giant Gila Monster's attack. The monster roars angrily. "Wow, Gila is angry today."
"And we're not?" Gypsy ask with a scoff.
Twilight meanwhile kept on being send flying until she crashes through the roof of a familiar tower where Cadance is at. The pink Alicorn gasps as her sister in law gets back up, groaning.
"Twilight! You're here!" Cadance exclaims, trying to come over but the chains pull her back.
"Hey, I'm here." Twilight said with a weak smile. "Just dropping in."
--------------------------------------
Meanwhile, back with the others... uh... Joel, Mike, the bots, Mitchell, the other members of the Mane Six, the Giant Gila Monster and Fu Manchu seemed to be enjoying a small tea party.
"So... like you say, if I did this one fanfiction where it's a really big project... would it be worth the time and patience?" Mike asked.
"I don't know, Mike... but it seems really good..." Pinkie smiled.
"But, I want to focus a whole lot on that other project... but at the same time, I don't want to leave my friend hanging... it's sort of a come and go thing, you know?" Mike asked.
"Well, I'm sure the friend of yours is very patient, Mike." Pinkie shrugged.
"But seriously, darling, you should really get a good look at your groomer's." Rarity smiled as Fu Manchu popped a chocolate bon bon in his mouth.
"You really think so?" Fu Manchu asked.
"Yeah, you should really check out a groomer I personally know." Crow said as he handed Fu Manchu a card. "Here, something to consider."
"Oh, interesting..." Fu Manchu smiled.
They heard a cough from nearby as everyone jumped. Tom Servo blinked. "Huh?"
Pinkie Pie looked up and gasped. "Aw s***, the other author is back. Quick, back into place!"
Everyone nodded as they were going back as Joel muttered, "That other guy sure took his sweet time!"
"Okay, I'll rope him up!" Applejack said as she used a lasso to slow down the Gila monster.
"And I'm on my way to the Crystal Heart!" Fu Manchu frowned as he started to bound back.
"Oh no you don't!" Rainbow Dash yelled as she and Mitchell began to give chase.
Meanwhile, back with Tricia Leonard, she was pacing back and forth, just waiting.
"Those fuckers. f***, f***, f***, f***, f***!" Tricia swore in anger. "Do they really think they'd leave me out of the adventure? Those motherf**kers!"
Tricia frowned as she sat down. "I really hate these people!"
-------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, Twilight and Princess Cadance arrived at the Crystal Heart as Princess Cadance sighed. "Yes! We made it!"
"Come on, let's get the goods!" Twilight said as she and Princess Cadance were about to head over to the Crystal Heart...
"Hold it right there!" A familiar voice exclaims.
The Females gasps as Fu Manchu appears, holding a sword at the two.
"No way! How did you get here so fast?!" Twilight ask Fu Manchu in shock and confusion.
Fu Manchu was about to speak, then he looks confused while turning to a minion, asking, "How did we anyway?"
"I don't know." The minion remarks with a shrug as he pulls down a map of the Crystal Empire area. "By all accounts it doesn't make sense."
"Oh, well, back to business. And now, the Crystal Heart is mine!"
"Back off, ass wipe!" Mitchell exclaims as he and Rainbow appears, the man held his gun at Fu Manchu. "Put your hands in the air!"
"And don't even think of waving them like you don't care!" Rainbow exclaims with a laugh.
"Fools! You are no match for Fu Manchu!" Fu Manchu hisses furiously at his enemies. "You are nothing more than..."
"Uh, excuse me? You do realize we outnumbered you, correct?" Cadance ask Fu Manchu, pointing out something.
Fu Manchu blinks as he now notices that only he and his minion, who just got punched in the face by Mitchell and knocked out, are outnumbered. Correction: now only he is left.
"Oh crap. I didn't think this through." Fu Manchu said, sweat dropping a bit. He yelps as Mitchell grabs him. "No! Not in the face!"
Fu Manchu screams like a baby as Mitchell threw him out a nearby window. Everyone watches until the villain hits the ground hard.
"Boy, what a baby." Rainbow remarks, rolling his eyes.
"Was that necessary, Mitchell?" Twilight ask Mitchell, annoyed by his action.
"Hey, no one gives a damn about him anyway like some one-eyed pony from a cartoon crossover." Mitchell remarks with a scoff, brushing Twilight's words off.
"Cliché."
"All right, time to put the power of the Crystal Heart to good use." Cadance said smiling as she goes over to the Crystal Heart.
-----------
"Whoa! And she got knocked down at the 100 yard mile!" Mike calls out as Pinkie got thrown off the Gila monster.
"You would smell if you look like me!" Crow exclaims with a mocky blow, mocking the monster.
"Eeeeew!" Pinkie exclaims as she saw the remains of Fu Manchu on the ground. "Looks like someone threw him out the window."
"Typical. He started out as a dramatic serious villain to the ponies and their friends, and got turned into a joke that is hated by everyone at the end." Joel said, sighing at Fu Manchu. "It's like a certain one-eyed former uncle of the princesses in another timeline."
"Mike...Fu Manchu was always hated." Crow reminds Joel bitterly.
"Yeah, but still! One would've at least missed the good parts about him. I mean, if the princesses have memories but turned against him from out of the blue..."
"Can we get back to the fighting please?!" Fluttershy screams as the Giant Gila Monster snaps at her. "Oh my goodness!"
"We need an explosion to take him out!" Mike exclaims. He yelps as the monster roars at him. "Or a huge breath mint."
"Well, I don't know about a breath mint, but would a Crystal Heart do?" Spike ask his friends, grinning as he points upward.
Soon there's a flying Cadance and Twilight, all transformed into their Crystal Pony selves with the Crystal Heart floating. Soon the Crystal Ponies, imprisoned or the whatnot, became empowered by its glow.
"Citizens, time to wipe this monster out of our city for good!" Cadance exclaims to her citizens who cheers wildly. The rest of the Mane Six smiles as their bodies turned crystal like the others as well.
"Coooool!" The robots exclaims in amusement.
Soon a huge blast came from everyone as it is send right at the Giant Gila Monster who roars in pain as it explodes, destroying the thing. Fu Manchu's guards yelp as they got smacked, sending them flying into the air.
"MORONS BLASTING OFF AGAIN!" The minions scream as they are send flying until they disappear with a twinkle.
When all is clear, everyone cheers on. Gypsy whistles, "Wow; that was impressive."
"Yeah....wait, isn't Shining Armor supposed to be in this chapter?" Joel ask, remembering that Shining Armor is missing.
"Thanks, by the way." Shining rolled his eyes as Princess Cadance and Twiight found his cell and freed him.
"Sorry, Shining." Cadance sighed. "Guess we kind of forgot about you."
Shining sighed. "Oh well, no matter now."
Joel smiled. "Well, everybody's all here now."
"Uh, aren't we forgetting Tricia?" Pinkie noted.
"...Well, everybody's all here now." Joel said as he, Mike and the bots turned towards Shining and Cadance, not batting an eye towards the mention of Tricia Leonard.
"Thanks again for helping us." Cadance smiled.
"I don't know HOW we helped, but... okay, yeah, don't mention it." Crow sighed.
All of a sudden, Cambot started to act strange again as everybody turned. Once again, the images of the Mads were shown.
"So, I see your little side quest went down good, hmm?" Dr. Forrester smiled.
"Well, hate to break the bad news to you, BUT..." Pearl smirked. "While you were all busy fighting, we just found the first Element! We're leaving Professor Bobo to guard it!"
"That's me!" Bobo smiled.
Twilight blinked. "Why can't you just take it with you?"
The Mads laughed as Dr. Forrester said, "Take it with us? What kind of idiots do you think we are? No, we're just going to leave the monkey behind to guard it."
"It's not that hard to locate... though that scary dog and that weird guy with that cloak of hands may be a mystery..." Bobo paused.
"Scary dog? Weird man with cloak of han-" Joel yelped.
"Oh God..." Crow groaned.
"Not..." Tom yelped in fear.
Tom and Crow cried as Tom sniffled, "We're never going to make it! This is a bug hunt, man, a bug hunt!"
"Game over, man, game over!" Crow cried.
"What's wrong?" Twilight asked.
"Oh, you'll find out eventually. But just know you'll never reach the element in time! Since we're leaving Bobo behind to guard and/or find the Element of Loyalty, we'll be on our way to get the next element... Generosity, I assume!" Pearl laughed.
Rarity glared. "My element..."
"Ta for now..." Pearl said.
"Until we talk again... push the button, Frank." Dr. Forrester ordered.
"All right." Frank nodded as he pushed the button, hanging it up.
By the time Cambot resumed back to normal, Rainbow sighed. "Care to fill us in?"
"It's a long story..." Joel sighed. "Let's just say... the guys that we're just described came from one of the worst movies we've seen."
"YOU'RE DEAD, YOU LITTLE F**KERS!" Tricia was heard yelling.
"We'll explain on the way out of the Crystal Empire! Let's go!" Joel yelped as he, Mike and the bots started running.
Twilight and the other ponies, along with Spike, followed suit. A few moments later, Tricia Leonard came running past a confused Princess Cadance and Shining, screaming, "COME BACK HERE SO I CAN STRANGLE YOUR FUCKING NECKS!"
Cadance sighed. "Guess we're never going to be in the know on this, huh, Shining?"
Death Valley Daze...the driver is either dead or he's missing.
Ahem! Sorry, a reference there. Seriously, the location of the Loyalty element appears to be in the middle of nowhere...except at some sort of house that seems to be abandoned, with no one around...except for a mysterious familiar man who staggers out, looking out into the distance.
"HuH, tHe MaSter WaS preTTy uPSet wHeN TheY tresPaSSed Earlier." Torgo mumbles, preferring to Pearl's group from before. "He WoN't Be plEAsed If IT haPPens AgaIN. HiS wivES ArE becomINg eVeN To Me."
Torgo groans as he heads back into the house. The Master almost killed him for allowing those intruders...and letting that monkey around. At least he gets to see his old pal Frank again. Torgo can only hope no more intruders show up.
It is quite in the wasteland area. Nothing is around. A young Justin Beaver moves around, happily. Yes, he is very popular with the girl animals around this area. He has a good singing voice, a good career and is planning on a huge world tour. With his luck and as long as he dodges any haters, Justin Beaver will be the greatest singer ev...
Suddenly a car came from out of nowhere and run him over flat, killing the beaver. Inside, Mike yelps in alarm, "What was that?!"
"Oh nothing." Rarity said, looking back a bit. "We just ran over a beaver that no one knows about."
"Oh. Okay then."
"Hey, thanks for helping us further, Mitchell." Twilight said to Mitchell who is doing the reckless driving.
"Yeah, listen, lady, once this is over, I'm going to pretend not to know any of you assholes anyway." Mitchell remarks with a grunt. Twilight shrugs as she checks out the device that Joel had worked on which is attached to her former crown.
"Your new device is working great, Joel. It will lead us straight to the location of the Element of Loyalty in no time."
"Right...we can only hope to survive what awaits us out here." Joel said, shivering a bit. "And what awaits us."
"So uh...is this movie...the one we're dealing...is it really bad?" Fluttershy ask meekly to Joel, Crow and Tom. The trio had told their friends about "Manos: The Hands of Fate".
"What, are you kidding me? Even Dr. Forrester and TV's Frank felt bad about sending it!" Tom Servo complains to Fluttershy.
"The acting, the screen...look!" Crow cries as he motions to the scenery passing by. "It's happening just like in the movie! Mike, it's getting dark! I'm scared!!!"
"Yeah! Please find the location of the Element soon!"
A while later, Mitchell stops the car near a sign. Applejack frowns while asking, "Why yew stop Mitchell?"
"There's a sign that said "Element This Way, Stupid"." Mitchell remarks, pointing to a sign that ironically just said that. "We're walking, I ain't paying extra for gas."
"How the hell did you get all this way without getting gas?!" Tricia demands to Mitchell as everyone got out of the car, heading off on foot. Hopefully the location isn't too far.
"Hey, never you mind."
The group heads on, heading as some snake like creatures moves around which Mitchell shot at. Twilight yelps, "Oh geez, snakes."
"Actually, I think those are Squirms." Gypsy said, getting a closer look. "Look like the worms from the movie "Squirm".
"But they look like snakes! They freak me out!"
The group dodges some bottles being thrown as they move on. The heroes saw that the bottles are thrown by lovers kissing in a car. Joel sighs, "Yep. This is "Manos: The Hands of Fate"."
"Hey, are those two even important to the plot?" Spike ask as he glares at the Kissers. "Hey, come on! Do your kissing elsewhere!" The Dragon yelps as one bottle hits him. "Ouch!"
"Oh screw them!" Mitchell growls as he kept shooting at the Squirms and snakes. "I ain't waiting for them to finish getting it on."
"Did he actually say "get it on"?" Rarity ask Twilight in disbelief.
"Hay if I know. Discord, are you around?" Twilight ask curiously, wondering if Discord is still around.
Discord appears (spirit form). Mike blinks as he remarks, "Oh yeah. I forgot he is still around."
"Yes. I am happy to report...but unhappy at the same time...that Forrester and his pals are heading to a mountain area for the next Element." Discord said with a bitter look. "You better get all those Elements. I want that creep out of my body!"
"Oh, no worries, Discord. We will get the Elements and get that nasty Forrester out of your body." Fluttershy said with a smile to her friend. "Just hang in there."
"It isn't easy when I can't do anything in this...well, like this anyway."
The heroes move on, picking up gems (much to Rarity's delight). Rainbow picks up some sort of hand, blinking as she ask, "What's the hand for? Is this part of the movie you guys speak of?"
"Ugh. Maybe. Looks butt ugly." Crow remarks with a scowl at the hand that Rainbow's holding.
"Oh, like you would know." Tricia said to Crow with a frown.
The group heads onward. They saw some sort of building...a too familiar one for Joel, Crow and Tom's case, enough to give them the shivers. As they head closer, everyone can hear a haunting tone.
"Uh oh. It's the haunting tone music from "Manos: The Hands of Fate"." Pinkie said in concern as the music plays on. "And one of the baddies would..."
A familiar man came out, looking a bit drunk as he wobbles out on his stick. Applejack with a glance ask, "So who is 'dis laughing boy?"
"I Am ToRgO...I tAKe CaRe Of ThE PlaCe WhiLe ThE MaStEr iS AwAy!!" Torgo mumbles to the newcomers in his usual weirdo voice.
20 MINUTES LATER...
Everyone just stared at Torgo as Pinkie looked up.
"Well... this is embarrassing..." Pinkie paused.
"Are we... back on?" Mike asked.
"Yes! Go!" A voice from up above whispered.
"Right, right..." Twilight coughed. "Torgo?"
"Looks like Torgo's knees are back to the way they were..." Tom groaned.
"YOu CaNn-" Torgo started.
"Torgo, shut the buck up. One of the co-authors does NOT want to write your dialogue!" Pinkie frowned. "Not only is it annoying, but it's a waste of time for him because the message board he uses KEEPS FREAKING CORRECTING THE WORDS WHEN HE'S WRITING IT!"
Torgo frowned as he started limping in his own way, the music starting to play.
Mitchell responded by shooting Torgo in the face several times, causing Torgo to yelp.
"So, want to let us in?" Mitchell asked.
Torgo frowned as he decided to just write a note... he showed it to the group. "Very well. The master will be very disturbed."
"Thank you, Torgo." Twilight said as they were ready to enter in, Torgo walking in first as the Mane Six, Mike, Joel, the bots and Mitchell walked in.
Tricia Leonard was about to follow... but Twilight slammed the door in her face, and the door automatically locked. Tricia glared. "Thanks again, fuckers!"
Torgo started writing down his next note as he showed it to the others.
"There is no way out of here. It'll be dark soon. There is no way out of here." Twilight read.
"It'll be dark soon!" Crow said in Torgo's voice.
Tom Servo noticed a candy machine and... a version of himself nearby. Tom shuddered. "Creepy..."
"Let's keep moving forward... this house seems a lot bigger on the inside than in the movie..." Joel said as they kept moving forward.
As they kept walking, Twilight noticed more Squirms and...
"Are those... puppies?" Twilight asked as they saw what seemed to be dogs... rats?
"I think they are..." Crow said. "If I can take a guess, they're the Killer Shrews."
"Shrews? They look more like puppies with bad fur glued on them!" Rarity frowned.
"Tell me about it!" Tom said. "Mitchell?"
"On it..." Mitchell said as he pulled out his gun, ready to shoot.
The group moves on, dealing with some green slimes which Joel recalled are Green Slime from the first movie he ever watch.
"Does anyone remember these things?" Crow ask as Mitchell and Twilight fire blasts at the Green Slimes.
"To be honest, not really." Joel remarks with a shrug. "The show was starting when I saw that film...and even then, the episode pilot never aired."
"Because of anything from KTMA sucks!" Tom Servo exclaims loudly.
Applejack dodges the Killer Shrews as she ropes them, tossing those creatures around. Mike calls out, "Be careful. If those things bite you, you're dead!"
"Thanks 'fer 'der warning, partner." Applejack remarks as she dodges a Killer Shrew.
As the gang approaches some stares, a screaming skull flew in, screaming. Fluttershy yelps, "what is that thing?!”
"A Screaming Skull...if you die, the movie will give you a coffin!" Mike explains, making the others a bit uneasy. "From fright, not boredom."
Twilight fires a blast at the skull but it went by it. The Alicorn groans, "Damn it! My magic can't hurt these things!"
"Just keep on moving!" Gypsy exclaims as the group moves through the area.
"Is it just me or does this area sounds like a rip off of Castlevania?" Pinkie ask happily as she dodges a spinning...thing. What is it anyway? I sure as hell don't know!
Anyway, because I don't want this story to turn into one freakish huge walkthrough, the gang moves through the areas, dodging/fight past Squirms, Killer Shrews, Screaming Skulls, Green Slimes, etc. You name it!
The group enters an area, finding a picture with a mean looking man and a dog. Mitchell looks at it, remarking, "I'm guessing this is Torgo's Master."
"And his dog!" Spike shudders, glancing at the dog. "I sure don't wanna meet that thing in a dark alley!"
"He looks mean and ugly." Fluttershy said worried. "And I normally don't have problems with pets."
"Who made this movie anyway?" Twilight ask the MST3K guys with a frown.
"Heh, some salesman who sells fertilizer." Joel admits to the ponies who gave him odd looks.
"A fertilizer salesman? Really?" Applejack ask in disbelief to Joel.
"Yeah. Can you believe we are going to make fun of this on Rifftrax?" Mike ask in disbelief, remembering that "Manos: The Hands of Fate" will be made fun of Rifftrax soon.
"Or now since it was made when this chapter was made!" Pinkie exclaims, making a happy squee noise.
"Pinkie, you are so random!" Rainbow exclaims, shaking her head in amusement.
The group moves on to a fireplace which has a huge alien like head and two ugly hands. It suddenly growls and fires out attacks.
"Damn!" Mitchell exclaims as he and Twilight fires at the head, dodging his attacks.
"Which movie is this guy from?" Rarity exclaims, using her magic to defend herself.
"Not a clue!" Tom screams out, yelping as a fireball hits him. "Owie, owie!"
"Whoa!" Spike screams as one of the blasts hits him in the tail.
Fluttershy gasps, then growls angrily at the attacker, "You big dumb MEANIE!!!"
Fluttershy roars as she flies at the alien head, pounding it a few times. Everyone else watch in shock and concern. That yellow Pegasus is nasty when she's pissed off! Soon the head explodes, dissolving the fireplace and leaving an entrance.
"Okay, Fluttershy. Fluttershy!" Joel exclaims, grabbing Fluttershy to calm her down. "It's dead, sweetie."
"Oh...sorry, I hate it when my friends get hurt." Fluttershy said meekly, calming down. Being that pissed, scares even her.
"Sooooo...who wants to go into the creepy tunnel first?" Gypsy ask, glancing into the tunnel with her pals. "And does this area even exist in the movie?"
"Better than stay here and get fondled by Torgo." Crow remarks, shuddering a bit.
"Fondled?!" The ponies yelps in shock as they rush into the entrance.
"Out of the way, out of the way!" Spike exclaims frantically. The last thing he wants is to get touched by a weirdo with bad knees and a bad accent!
The MST3K humans shrug, Mitchell followed as the gang goes through the entrance.
-------------------
In all the while, it took the gang a while as they kept traversing into the dungeons of the rooms... until they came across... a weird looking dragon like thing...
Twilight grimaced. "What is that?"
Crow squinted. "Not from any movie I saw..."
"Isn't that thing from the Angry Video Game Nerd game?" Mike asked.
"I think THAT came out AFTERWARDS." Joel explained as the Dragon started breathing fire.
"Well, we better team up and kill this thing quick..." Tom sighed. "This chapter is delayed enough as it is..."
Everyone nodded as they started throwing what they could at the dragon until it... evaporated into thin air.
"All righty, let's move on..." Pinkie said as they started to go outside.
All of a sudden, a game box appeared as it read 'What a horrible night to have a curse!'.
"...oooooohhhhh... all the Angry Video Game Nerd references we can make!" Crow whined.
"I know! But I don't think JusSonic had the mindset to watch the internet show!" Tom groaned.
"Uh... guys?" Twilight said as they noticed the screen moving. "We've gotta run!"
"All aboard that's coming aboard!" Gypsy said as everyone started to run.
"Let's keep running, let's keep running!" Rainbow Dash called as they started to run, defeating any enemies along the way.
Pretty soon, they finally reached a good segment as they heard a devilish howl.
Fluttershy screeched a bit. Joel sighed. "The Devil Dog... we must be getting close..."
"Anything we should know?" Twilight asked.
"There was a part in the movie where a family's dog body was found dead, we all presumed, and confirmed, the Master's Dog killed it. Fortunately, no dogs with us!" Joel explained.
"This must be it!" Fluttershy said as the Master's Dog came out.
The dog growled as it was about to pounce... before Fluttershy did her Stare at the dog, making it yelp as it ran off.
"Fluttershy, you impress us." Tom said.
"I try my best..." Fluttershy said, blushing a bit as they moved on a little more.
"Hey..." Rainbow smiled. "An airplane!"
"What?" Crow said, staring at a plane right in front of them. "Okay, hell no! We're not doing the Silver Surfer montage!"
Rainbow Dash paused as they saw Torgo flying around in an airplane, waiting for them.
"I didn't know Torgo could fly a plane..." Mike said.
"He can't." Tom sighed.
Torgo, hearing that from up above, frowned. "Oh CuRsEs."
The plane then ran out of gas and started to fall down to the ground below.
Joel paused. "Great, that's done. Let's move on to the next part..."
"Shouldn't we worry about the other Dragon flying aroun-" Twilight said, pointing to the red Dragon like creature flying around... before Mitchell aimed his gun and shot at the Dragon, making it evaporate. "...eh, you got it."
"Moving on!" Joel said as the others continued on their way.
Pretty soon, the gang were inside a cave as they were jumping around, avoiding crawling hands and bubbles... until they came across something interesting.
"Oh no, it's that guy..." Tom sighed.
"You are a hu-man, not a Ro-man! Ro-man must kill all the hu-mans!!" a mysterious figure said.
"Fill us in a little?" Applejack asked, pointing towards the creature.
"Let me, this is Ro-Man from the monster "Robot Monster"." Joel explains. "He came from Earth to wipe out the humans, got attracted to a girl and tried to kill everyone..."
"And came the ending which keeps repeating itself." Crow groans a bit in annoyance.
Ro-Man growls as he jumps at the group who moves to dodge him. Mitchell fires his shots at him while the ponies quickly assaulted the Robot Monster thing.
"How did the heroes beat this guy?" Twilight calls out as she fires a magic spell at Ro-Man.
"Well, it's kinda confusing. It was his boss who killed him off...and even then most of the film was only a film." Tom Servo explains awkwardly.
"Yeah, it doesn't make sense to me either." Gypsy remarks with a scoff. "And I do my best to stay out of the theater!"
The gang dodges the swinging spike balls and the bubbles while dodging Ro-Man who just hops around. Rarity snaps, "Can't this ruffian learned anything but hopping?"
Ro-Man roars as he hops at Rarity, causing her to scream. Spike in fury jumps and fires a huge flame breath at the Robot Monster, knocking him back. Rainbow flew around and beats him a few times before Mitchell fires a few more rounds.
Ro-Man stops, groaning, "This hu-man..."
"And robots." The robots reminds Ro-Man that the robots are here.
"And ponies!" Pinkie reminds happily to Ro-Man.
"...and ro-bots and po-nies is too strong for Ro-Man! You may pass, hu-man, ro-bots, and po-nies..." Ro-Man admits in defeat as he moves to let the group through.
"Thank you, yew is so kind." Applejack said with a nod as the group heads up the stairs.
"Geez, this guy is a wuss when exposed to fire breath and gun shots." Rainbow remarks, shaking his head.
"Why else is he in a bad movie?" Crow ask the ponies dryly.
----------------
The gang arrives in a new area and climbs up some stairs. They spot Torgo on the other side.
"Hey, Torgo! What are you doing?" Spike calls out to Torgo.
Torgo didn't answer. He jumps onto a switch, causing the room to rumble before rushing off. Mitchell snaps, "What the hell?!"
The gang saw that the whole room begins sinking downward. Twilight yelps, "Everyone moves up!"
"I hate these scrolling sequences!" Mike complains as the gang moves upward, shooting at the Crawling Hands while dodging the swinging spike balls.
The gang has to jump across platforms while moving ahead of the screen. Pinkie, bouncing, ask happily, "So, out of curiosity, what is this Riff-trax thing?"
"Who told you that?" Mike ask Pinkie, blinking a bit.
"I read the prologue, duh! And you guys mentioned it, remember?"
"Huh. Well, it's work me and the robots do, riffing movies like we did in the good old days. Joel here did some movie riffing work with some people."
"Yeah, it's amazing how many bad films there are." Joel remarks with a light chuckle. "We haven't riffed a film in a while."
"Hey, maybe you can riff movies with us, Joel!" Crow exclaims to his creator with a hopeful grin.
"Yeah, it's good for us to be doing it with you again!" Tom Servo exclaims playfully.
"Maybe when I find the time and when this is over." Joel remarks with a shrug.
"Can you believe we have been doing this for a long time?" Pinkie ask, bouncing across the platforms. "We would've gotten to other projects by now."
"Hey, Orange was busy. Can you blame him?" Rainbow ask Pinkie. She pauses, then frowns. "And since when the hay did we ponies begin breaking the fourth wall like you?!"
"By the authors' choice, duh!"
"This is taking too damn long!" Mitchell exclaims, shooting at the hands and running along. "Why can't we teleport to the end already?!'
Twilight pauses, then slaps herself on the face. She ask, "Why the hell didn't I thought of that sooner?!"
Twilight teleports herself and the group to the top of the stage. Rainbow remarks, "Yeah; that would work."
The group arrives outside and heads to the right, finding some ladies tied up to columns. Fluttershy spoke, "Who are these women?"
"They are the Master's Wives." Joel explains to the ponies, making them blink a bit.
"So he get married more than once?" Spike ask in surprise and curiosity.
"Wow, if that could happened, I would've married both princesses by now!" Twilight remarks. She blushes as her friends look at her. "Err, not that I'm a lesbian or anything."
"You're bi-curious. We're proud of you to admit that." Mike chuckles as he pats Twilight on the head.
Suddenly a booming voice is heard, "Arise, my wives! Give ears to the word of Manos!"
The wives woke up, untie themselves and attack the group. They yelp as Mitchell fires at them, yelling, "Hell, I don't normally shoot ladies but damn, you ain't ladies!"
"Back off!" Applejack snaps as she kicks at a wife, knocking her into the gunshots. "We ain't gotta be sacrificed 'ta yer god or whatever yer Master is!"
"One party cannon, coming up!" Pinkie yells out as she opens fire on the wives, sending them packing.
Twilight fires a blast, getting rid of the remaining wives. The group moves on to see a familiar monkey, holding a familiar Element. Professor Bobo smiles as he said, "Hey, guys! You came to see the show?"
A mustache man in a red robe is nearby, glaring at Torgo as he snarls, "You have failed us, Torgo!! For this, you must die!!"
"So what are you going to do? Get the wives to massage him to death again?" Tom Servo ask the Master with a bored look.
"Newsflash, we put them to sleep!" Crow snaps to the Master furiously.
The Master ignores the robots as he shoves Torgo's hand into a torch. The servant screams as he runs off with his burning hand.
"Ick! That must hurt." Rainbow remarks bitterly.
"Quiet, this show is getting good." Professor Bobo remarks, eating some popcorn.
The Master glares at the intruders, exclaiming, "Manos!! God of Darkness!! The Hands of Fate have doomed this man!"
"Ahem!" The robots and ponies exclaims impatiently to the villain.
"And ponies and...metal things."
The Master prepares himself as did the heroes. Twilight exclaims, "Quick, Joel! How did the hero beat this guy in his film?"
"You don't wanna know!" Joel exclaims frantically to Twilight.
"Why?"
"Because, the Master wins!"
"Oh, horse feathers!" The ponies exclaims in horror. They are so boned.
Manos then gave a smirk as he stepped near the others...
And that's when... he just got zapped.
In thin air.
...No, I'm serious, he was actually zapped out of existence.
The others just looked in shock and confusion as Crow said, "O... kay, what just happened?"
"I think one of the authors just wanted this chapter to end just as much as we did..." Pinkie groaned.
"Oh great, it's going to be one of those 'Monster a Go-Go' endings..." Tom Servo groaned. "We all hated 'Monster a Go-Go'!"
"Does it matter?" Rainbow smiled as she saw her Element floating. "Here's my element right now!"
Rainbow smiled as she was about to reach for it...
"Uh, not so fast!" Professor Bobo stepped in. "Thanks to Pearl's little magic instruction manual she got... I have the power to transform into a final boss!"
Everyone gasped as Professor Bobo waved his hand and transformed into... a statue.
"Face the wrath of me! I think..." Professor Bobo called. "Uh... as soon as I move..."
"...You can't move?" Rainbow asked.
"Not really..." Professor Bobo moaned.
"Then I'll just take this..." Rainbow Dash smiled as she marched over to her Element and took it by her hoof.
"...I should have considered giving this more thought..." Professor Bobo sighed... just as he was suddenly teleported.
Twilight smiled as Rainbow gave her the element as Twilight zapped Rainbow's element back to Princess Celestia. "That's two down... four more to go..."
All of a sudden, Cambot started to react as they turned to Cambot, out of curiosity.
Cambot then activated as the screen showed Forrester and Pearl, frowning.
"Okay, so you've gotten past Professor Bobo! Well, no matter... we already stationed Brain Guy near the next Element! Now, we're on our way to locate the third element!" Pearl smirked.
"Where IS Brain Guy?" Twilight asked.
"Oh, he's over near the lost city in the ground from 'Final Sac-'" Pearl started... before shaking his head. "I mean, like we'll tell you that!"
"Anyway, we're off! Until next time... push the button, Frank!" Dr. Forrester called.
"Right away, Clay!" Frank said as he was about to push the button, turning the monitor off.
The others looked at each other as Mike snapped his fingers. "Pearl may be smart, but she can do some stupid blunders. I think we just got an idea on where we need to go!"
"Final Sacrifice?" Crow asked... before chuckling. "This is going to be a lot of Canada bashing next chapter..."
"Canada bashing?" Twilight asked.
"YOU MOTHERFUCKERS GET BACK HERE THIS MINUTE!"
The others turned and yelped as they saw a pissed off Tricia Leonard running in with a crowbar.
"We'll explain later, let's go!" Mike said.
"To the plane!" Rainbow said as they started to head back towards the plane.
"Come back here so I can bash your brains in!" Tricia yelled, following the people responsible for leaving her behind.
"Okay, time we go. Let's go!" Mike exclaims quickly to the others.
"Shouldn't we wait for the woman?" Fluttershy ask, making the others glare at her. "Oh. Never mind."
The gang flew off as Tricia yells out, "You can't keep me out of this forever! God, I hate you guys. I hate you, I hate you, I hate you, I hate you..."
The gang sighs as Rainbow flew around the plane. Joel comments, "Well, that's the hardest way to end a movie."
"Let's see what's on the radio." Gypsy suggests as Twilight uses her magic to turn the plane's radio on.
Some music plays. Twilight nods, saying, "Looks like soft music."
"Hang on, this music sounds familiar." Tom Servo said in concern. The music from this radio sounds familiar.
Forgetting you is a thing that I can not do
"Oh God! It's the love theme song from...Manos: The Hands of Fate!" Crow groans as the others groans as well.
Yet I know It is very true I'm forgetting you Remembering nights together won't be again For our time had its happy end I'm forgetting you
Don't forget the silly way we met Don't forget the tender touch that set a fire burning in two But I'm forgetting you
April's here and it seems you are oh so near When I look this dream disappears I'm forgetting you I'm forgetting you
Don't forget the silly way we met Don't forget the tender touch that set a fire burning in two But I'm forgetting you
April's here and it seems you are oh so near When I look This dream disappears I'm forgetting you I'm forgetting you
"One more time!" Spike exclaims as the music comes to an end. He yelps as the others hit him. "Ouch, what? Owie, stop it!!!"
Unknown to the heroes, the villains are watching their progress. Dr. Erhardt said, "Well, gotta hand it to them, Clayton. They are determined."
"And stupid!" Pearl growls as she hit Bobo. "A statue?! Are you kidding me?!"
"Well, statues can move! Haven't you seen Night at the Museum?" Bobo ask the Lawgiver sheepishly.
"I don't watch movies unless it's using them to torture the group! Frank. What is the progress?"
"Well, they have to land right here." Frank explains as he summons a map, noting where the group will be landing. The sidekick points at the map as he explains, "Then, they have to go through this lake underwear to reach the other side of the mountain which cannot be passed by flying. Then, they have to go through the cave area..."
"Hmmm, I think it's time we give another distraction." Forrester said with an evil gleeful look.
Forrester snaps his fingers as some shark like figure appears in the water lake, giving an evil grin as he jumps into the water.
"Huh. I don't recognize that guy from any bad film that we send Joel, Mike and the robots." Frank said, blinking his eyes. This is a new one right here.
Forrester comment, "This may not be from any of the movies we've shown Joel, Mike and the Bots, but it IS a good diversion."
"Anyway, it happened in the previous area, why not here?" Dr. Erhardt ask with a smirk. "Oh, this is going to be fun!"
--------------
The group, as predicted, landed near a lake. Mitchell remarks, "We gotta go by foot. Those mountains can't be passed by flying."
"Equestria keeps changing every time!" Rainbow complains in frustration. "It's like we don't recognize it anymore."
"Oh dear. Are our memories of our world is changing?" Fluttershy ask in sadness. "Would we have to adapt to new memories?"
"Would Donald Trump be president?! Who knows or cares?!" Crow snaps at the ponies in annoyance. "We can stop either from happening!"
"We will have to swim." Twilight said, glancing at the lake nearby. "If we dive under the mountain area..."
"Wait, wait, wait; Swim in 'dat?" Applejack ask, giving a skeptic look at the water. "Won't we y'all drown?"
"I will just use the spell that I used to allow Hoofbeard to see his merpony love Jewel. We will do fine."
"Are we rust poof, Joel?" Gypsy ask her creator curiously, looking at the water as she ponders if she and the robots are rust proof or not.
"Yep. I thought of everything!" Joel explains proudly, making the robots glare at him. "Well, except making your arms work. What can I say? I didn't get much parts to work with!"
Twilight uses her spell to allow the ponies, robots and humans to swim underwater, then everyone jumps in. Everyone begins swimming in a big bubble as they move under the mountain area.
"Well, got to admit, haven't been this swimming in a long time." Mitchell said with a grunt.
"Not that we care, Mitchell, but...HOLY CRAP, WHAT'S THAT?!" Crow screams like a girl as something swim by fast.
"Looks like a big shark!" Applejack exclaims in surprise.
"But what kind of shark is in this lake?" Twilight ask in shock and confusion. "There are only sharks in oceans, not lakes!"
A huge shark appears near the gang, giving an evil grin as he reveals to have arms. The humans, robots and ponies, gasps and screams in terror.
"AHHHHH! IT'S FANG!!!!" Pinkie screams in terror, recognizing the shark mutant from "Total Drama: Revenge of the Island".
"Who?" The humans and robots ask confused.
"He appeared in JusSonic and Orange Ratchet's big hit "Total Drama Equestria". But this is an AU fic! It has nothing to do Total Drama!"
"Try telling him that!" Spike yelps in alarm.
Fang roars madly as he swims right at the group. Looks like dinner is being served!
---------------------------------------------
FIFTEEN MINUTES LATER...
The others were busy swimming as Pinkie was humming, carrying a huge can of Mutant Shark Repellent as Twilight sighed, "Holy Crazy Prepared, Pinkie Pie."
"Man, if the author hadn't got himself distracted with writing his other story on fanfiction dot net, we would have seen an epic battle between us and a mutant shark." Mike said.
"It was a really great battle..." Crow smiled. "Anyway, what exactly do you mean that this is an 'AU Fic'?"
"I don't think we're supposed to figure that out yet until later..." Tom said. "MUCH later! How much farther?"
"Not too far..." Joel said as they looked up. "In fact, I think we just found some people near the lake!"
"Wait..." Gypsy paused as she looked around. "I think we're missing somebody! Where's Mitchell?"
Crow blinked. "Oh yeah! He died!"
Twilight gasped. "Oh right! He charged right through the shark and then got eaten!"
"Oh well..." Rainbow sighed. "He's helped us as far as we can get. We may as well get new help while we are here."
"Agreed!" Applejack sighed as they continued to swim up. "Come on..."
Meanwhile, back at Castle Canterlot, Celestia sighed as she put the Element of Loyalty next to the Element of Magic, "I think they should be safe here for now..."
Little did Celestia know was that as soon as she turned her back, another portal opened up as a human hand GRABBED the Element of Loyalty and replaced it with a similar look alike. An unusual evil little kid female like chuckle was heard as the portal closed up.
Up on the water's surface, an old man with a big beard was drinking from a bottle of scotch as he looked up to the sky. "Well, kid, looks like we're lost again..."
"Hey, Zapp! What's that in the distance," A teenage kid said, pointing towards some mysterious figures rising up in the water...
The man, known as Zapp Rowsdower, squinted a bit as he said, "Seems to be a colorful cast of characters. Better get my gun, kid. This could be messy..."
-----------
"Ugh!" Crow groans as everyone got out of the water. "I felt like the Creature from the John Agar film!"
"Yuck!" Rarity remarks, spitting out some water. "I sure hope we don't do that again."
"Rainbow? Blow dry, now." Twilight orders.
"Roger, Egghead!" Rainbow exclaims, saluting her princess.
Rainbow shakes herself dry before flying upward. She zooms around quickly before blowing all the water right off the gang. As Rainbow finishes, she smirks and laughs. The humans and ponies' hair/manes are even funnier than when she did Twilight's the first time!
"Great, now I feel like singing something from the 70s." Joel said embarrassingly.
Rarity sighs as she got to work on fixing everyone's hair. Spike smiles as he comments, "As usual, Rarity, you're a dream."
"Thank you, Spike, darling." Rarity said as she finishes up on Applejack...who got a fancy perm, much to her annoyance. "You look amazing, Applejack."
"Don't yew think it," Applejack scowls as she fixes her own mane. "Frou-frou is yer department, not ours."
"Wait a minute." Pinkie said, frowning a bit. "Someone is watching us!"
Pinkie took out her Party Cannon and opens fire. A familiar man came out, yelping, "Hey, what the hell?!"
"Hey, we come in speech!" A familiar boy exclaims as he came out, waving his hands like an idiot (which he looks like).
"Oh, just a bearded guy and a kid." Pinkie said with a shrug, putting the cannon away.
"No, worst. It's Zapp Rowsdower and that kid whose name I don't know or care about." Crow sighs in annoyance.
"My name is Troy McGreggor." The boy said in concern.
"And we care why?"
"Great, we're on our way to the lost city and got blasted by some pink pony." Zapp said in irritation, getting the group's notice.
"Say, you're going to the lost city?" Mike ask the duo curiously. "What a coincidence. We are over there ourselves."
"Yeah, can you give us a ride?" Fluttershy ask Zapp with a hopeful smile. "Our last driver is...well..."
"He got eaten by a shark." Rainbow said with a shrug, getting to the point. "How about a ride, Mr. Zapp Blower?"
"Rowsdower, and I don't pick up hitchhikers!" Zapp snaps in irritation to the group.
"You pick me up." Troy points out to Zapp, reminding his friend as to how he's helping him out.
Most of the group looks a bit awkward before groaning, "Eeeeew."
"Not like that!"
"You mean "not like that, eh?" Mike jokes, getting a laugh from Crow.
"Come on, pleeeease." Fluttershy said, batting her eyelashes at Zapp, making him yelp. She is so cute...
"I...ugh...no...I..." Zapp said, groaning. He is trying to resist but the mare's cuteness is breaking down his defenses.
"Pleeeeeease?"
"Oooooh. Okay."
"Yeah, alright!" Most of the group cheers on with Fluttershy smiling in triumph.
"How did you do that?" Gypsy ask Fluttershy in amazement.
"Well, I am cute, it helps." Fluttershy said, giving out a happy squee.
"Thanks for giving them a ride, Zapp." Troy said to his friend who sighs as he prepares to head off to his truck.
"Mind you, we got little room in the truck, so the animals and the robots will have to sit in the back." Zapp said sternly to the new riders, then groans. "Damn it, I am getting soft..."
"Uh, he said "sit", right?" Spike ask the others in concern, hoping that the Dragon himself heard right.
-----------
"Glad you're helping us out, Rowsdower." Joel said as he and Mike sat in the backseat. "We appreciate all you're doing for us."
"Yeah, tell me: how long have you been truckin', Rowsdower?" Mike ask Zapp with a chuckle.
"Look, the sooner we get there, the sooner we don't heard that damn song!" Zapp groans as he is hearing the ponies singing from the back of the truck.
"One more time!" Gypsy calls out. Zapp groans as the ponies, Dragon and robots sang.
Group: Triple dent gum, will make you smile. Triple dent gum, It lasts a while. Triple dent gum, will help you Mister, to punch bad breath right in the kisser. Triple Dent Gum!
-------------
"Hey, that is a great song." Frank said with a smile as he, Erhardt and Professor Bobo watches the show, then they begin to sing.
Trio: Triple dent gum will make you smile.
"The only song we will be singing is your funeral march if you keep that up!" Pearl exclaims angrily at the trio, shutting them up.
"Anyway, Fang blows it big time. Time we go for the backup plan." Forrester said sternly. "Send in the big guy."
"No, not the big guy, not the big guy!" Professor Bobo cries, whimpering like a little child. "Just one question."
"Who is the big guy?" The head boys asks a bit irritated at the same time as Bobo.
"Well, lucky for us, before Brain Guy went on his little mission, he brought him into existence." Pearl remarks with a cruel laughter. "Oh yes, if Manos was bad enough, this one is worst."
-----------------
To Zapp's relief, the ones in the back finally got tired of the song and begins playing a game.
"So if you want any mares in the world, who would it be?" Tom Servo ask with a smile to Twilight.
Twilight blushes, insisting, "I'm straight. I don't need a mare."
"Come on! I've heard Congress is going to make gay marriage legal. At least give us info."
"Do it, do it, do it!" The robots, Pinkie and Rainbow exclaims anxiously.
"Well, okay...it's Celestia." Twilight said as she squees a bit.
The mares screeches in delight. Rarity remarks, "Oh, well, that's oblivious. The way you wanted to please her, you acted like a filly fooler."
"I do not!"
"Come on, sugah cube, admit it." Applejack said to Twilight, causing the mare to blush some more.
"Well, to be honest, uh..." Twilight said with a blushing look. Suddenly Pinkie's tail begins to twitch. "Uh oh, twitchy tail. That means..."
"MOVE THE TRUCK!" Pinkie screams out.
Zapp yelps as he swerves in time to dodge a falling boulder. The truck came to a stop as everyone got out, a bit shocked. That was a close one!
"What was that?!" Troy ask in shock.
"It's...the Rock." Mike said, speaking in a voice that Sean Connery can be proud of.
"I know that! Where did it come from?"
"Wow, no wonder you're annoying." Rainbow said to Troy dryly.
"Hey, I think I see someone on the cliff above us." Gypsy said as she looks upward.
The gang looks up to see a tough cave man like person growling at them.
"Eegah." Joel said, recognizing the cave man from another movie that the group had saw. Eegah roars as he grabs another boulder. "Look out!"
"He's a dumb looking cave man!" Zapp exclaims, rolling his eyes in annoyance. "What harm can he do?"
Zapp yelps as Eegah threw another rock down, forcing him to dodge in time. Looks like his question got answered the hard way!
All of a sudden, Eegah was shot down as he fell right off the platform.
Everyone else blinked as they looked at each other before blinking. Joel then said, "Uh... who did tha-"
"I did, you motherfuckers."
Everyone yelped... all but Mike, Joel and Twilight, who were just annoyed as Tricia Leonard came around.
"That's right! I'm back, and I'm sticking with my guns! You always leave me behind, but not this-" Tricia started.
"Okay, I'm sorry, can we please stop here,” Joel frowned.
"Huh?" Everyone blinked.
"Yeah, yeah, just... just stop, okay?" Joel sighed. "I want to clear the elephant in the room..."
Joel and Mike turned as Mike took a deep breath before saying, "First of all... Tricia... who the hell are you? What the hell happened?"
"What?" Tricia blinked. "What do you mean, what happened to what?"
"Your personality. What the hell happened to it?" Joel frowned.
"Yeah... back in the very first chapter of this story, the prologue I believe, you had this personality that went like 'Oh my Gosh, I can't believe you stole the ship, when he obviously didn't, and I went accusing people of it, also I'm smart and I'm a genki girl and I like robots, they're so cute!', and now you have this... 'God, you motherfuckers, you left me behind, I like shooting things!'-schtick." Mike frowned.
"I-is this a new schtick we're doing, because oh my God, this is getting ridiculous!" Twilight glared.
"What is ridiculous about shooting-" Tricia started.
"No, no, no, let me, Mike and Twilight talk..." Joel frowned. "Because we'll answer your question."
Twilight nodded as she took a deep breath. "...Yes, Tricia, we have left you behind on purpose. We are being written like awful dicks. We will not deny that. But we have a good reason for that. We don't like you. None of us do."
"Now, let me ask YOU a question, Tricia Leonard!" Mike glared. "Does us admitting we leave you behind on purpose REALLY surprise you? Do you even REACT to the things around you? The magic ponies, the robots... in fact, I don't think I've seen you react to ANYTHING except with anger since the first chapter! Your primary role as of late seems to boil down to random profanities and vowing revenge on us, like... 'Motherfuckers, you left me behind', 'Motherfuckers, I'm going to kill all of you for leaving me behind', 'Motherfuckers, I'm going to punch people in the face!'!"
"REALLY, TRICIA!" Joel yelled. "You're angry all the time for leaving you behind! Why? Why is that, Tricia? Me, Tom, Crow, Gypsy, Cambot, Mike, the Mane Six and Spike have established ourselves as important characters! The trailer seemed to play you up as an important character, yet so far, you have done nothing. NOTHING!"
"I-I don't know, I just thought we had a running gag-like thing going..." Tricia stuttered. "All of you enter a door and I get left behind..."
"And that is ALL you ever fucking do these days, isn't it?!" Twilight yelled. "And I'm sorry for breaking the fourth wall here, but I want to bring up a character in another universe! There was once a pony that was so threatening he would be willing to kill ANY human or anyone ASSOCIATED WITH HUMANS! Nobody liked him, not even Princess Celestia or Princess Luna! His name is Tuerto! He was threatening, he was a villain, he may have had one goal... but he had something going for him! He had a motivation! The people that read about him in 'Total Drama Equestria'? They would at least put a comment towards him near the end! And even JusSonic, who had NO FUCKING RIGHT TO FEEL BAD FOR HIM, felt bad for him anyway! JusSonic whined and complained, but it showed that Tuerto AT LEAST gained SOME emotion from somebody! You, Tricia? Who comments about you?"
"Nobody!" Joel frowned. "And you want to know why?"
"Because you are boring!" Mike glared. "Nobody loves you! This is why your little 'leave you behind' schtick is getting old!"
"This is why nobody likes you, Tricia!" Twilight yelled. "THIS is why they will never invest interest in you, like they invested interest in Tuerto!"
"GET A GODDAMN FUCKING PERSONALITY, FOR GOD'S SAKE,” Joel, Mike and Twilight yelled.
Tricia just stood there, staring blankly with wide eyes as the rest of the Mane Six, Spike, Zapp and Troy just stared in shock.
"...Hello?" Crow blinked as Joel, Mike and Twilight just looked at each other in concern.
"D-don't you have something to say in retaliation?" Tom Servo asked.
Tricia Leonard still stood there in shock.
"Tricia?" Fluttershy asked.
Tricia still stood there in shock.
"Come on, you have to talk about something!" Applejack begged.
"Yeah, like..." Rainbow turned and saw Brain Guy waving on the top of the temple, holding an Element. "Ha! How about Brain Guy on the top of the steps! He's holding an element, and he's planning a surprise attack if we go up? Huh?"
Everyone (but Tricia) looked up to see Brain Guy as Twilight smiled nervously. "Yeah! Just look at him. The minute we go up the stairs, he'll summon another one of their world's monsters from the films!"
"You got to comment on SOMETHING like that!" Rarity said.
Tricia Leonard just stood there, saying nothing.
"She's scaring me..." Spike said.
"Right... well..." Mike said. "We're just going to go up the stairs to talk with Brian Guy. We're just going to get the Element. You just... stand there."
Tricia Leonard was still standing in shock.
"Right..." Twilight nodded. "Zapp, Troy, you coming?"
The two nodded as the Mane Six, Spike, Mike, Joel and the bots, and Zapp and Troy started walking up the stairs... but not before Spike turned back to see Tricia, just standing in shock. Spike decided to just keep going as they continued up the steps.
1 HOUR LATER...
The group breathes in and out, getting tired as they reach the top of the stairs.
"Wow...stairs...and I thought...phew...." Tom Servo groans as he collapses.
"Everyone, okay?" Applejack ask the others, breathing in and out.
"Yeah..." Mike said, breathing in. "I guess we should've taken the elevator."
"THERE'S AN ELEVATOR?!" The ponies yells out in shock and alarm. They turn and there it is: an elevator which was nearby the whole time!
"Yeah, ironic, huh?"
"Good one, Mike!" Crow groans as most of the ponies collapse on the ground.
"Ugh, someone let me know when the bad guys come up." Zapp said, slapping his forehead. "I feel like hitting someone."
"You can hit Troy and see what happens." Tom Servo said with a smile, making Troy yelp a bit.
"Nah, I ain't that desperate."
"Does anyone feel bad about Tricia at this point?" Rainbow ask with a groan. "Because I kinda do...."
"Newsflash: she was turning into a pointless cameo which we started this." Joel said to Rainbow with a sigh. "Kinda like Tuerto whom..."
"Newsflash: Jus came to his senses." Pinkie interrupts Joel happily. "He hates his guts now."
"THANK GOD/CELESTIA!" Most of everyone exclaims, relieved that one of the authors of this fic came to his senses.
"Tuerto? Jus, what?" Troy ask a bit confused. "You ponies are weird."
"That's just us." Pinkie said to Troy happily.
"Ahem." Brain Guy said patiently as he stood nearby the Element of Generosity. "If you're done..."
"Oh yes." Twilight said clearing her throat. "Brain Guy! Hands over the element. We are willing to fight if you refuse!"
Some of the heroes who aren't exhausted or fallen prepared or try to fight anyway...then...nothing...happen?
"Uh, shouldn't a bad guy appear by Brain Guy by now?" Gypsy ask, blinking her only eye. "Hey, what gives Brain Guy?"
"I'm doing things differently! Each time you all confronted a bad guy of the day or something recently, the bad guy gets taken out way too easily." Brain Guy explains bored. "Like Fang, Eegah, Manos, need I go on?"
"So what are you going to do, Brain Guy?" Joel ask Brain Guy, being precautious.
"Simple! I issue you a challenge: beat it and you will be able to get the element. That way, we get something interesting."
"Okay, so what are you planning on doing?" Rarity ask anxiously yet in precaution.
"This." Brain Guy said with a devilish smirk as he uses his brain powers...to make a bomb with a sparkling fuse appear. "TRY TO GET RID OF THIS!"
"A BOMB!!!!!" Most of everyone screams in terror and horror.
"Well, obviously since we have been dealing with movie bombs lately." Mike remarks bitterly.
Twilight levitates as she fly off in hopes to get the bomb out of range. The mare calls out to the obvious bad guy cult members below, "Run away; get the buck out of here!!!"
The bad guys just ignore her as they try to fire arrows in hope to shoot her down. The heroes, taking the elevator this time, knock down the bad guys. Zapp calls out, "Get that bomb the hell out of here!"
"Yeah, hurry!" Troy exclaims as he dodges a bad guy's sword.
Twilight flew off to a town, which is somehow nearby. The mare prepares to get rid of it, but run into a carriage full of nuns, making her yelp and run the other direction. No need to endanger anyone!
Twilight flew off quickly, dodging some orphans as well as a marching band. The mare rushes over to a pond to get rid of the bomb...but saw cute ducklings down below, much to her dismay. She can't hurt any animals. Fluttershy will be pissed if she did that!
Twilight moves around the area like mad, but run into the carriage again, more orphans, the same banding bands...and a few couples with baby carriages. The Alicorn flew over to another part of the pond...with more cute ducklings.
Twilight mutter, "Some days, you just can't get rid of a bomb."
Spike reminds her, "Why do you NEED to? You can conjure up a force field around the bomb (JUST the bomb) strong enough to contain the blast."
"Wait, Spike? How did you get there?"
"My flying Flame Step move, duh! Now stop staring and get rid of that bucking bomb!!! Use the force field, remember?!"
Twilight face-hoof herself at failing to think of that herself and then produce the force-field Spike mentioned, which is, indeed, strong enough to contain the blast. One blowout later...and the danger is obtained.
"Thank Celestia." Twilight said with a smile. "Now let's get that element!"
--------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, back up in the temple, Brain Guy sighed as he tapped his foot, sighing as he watched the bomb explode around a force field.
Little did he realize that a portal opened up next to him as the Element of Generosity was randomly switched by a hand as the Element of Generosity he was holding was replaced with a look alike...
"Curses..." Brain Guy frowned as the others came back. "Okay, you passed my test, here's the Element, now if you'll excuse me; I'm going back to Pearl... probably going to punish me..."
Brain Guy then did his brain thing to teleport as Twilight smiled. "Element of Harmony, get! Let's teleport this back to the base!"
Twilight smiled as she used her horn to teleport the Element of Generosity right into the castle. "That should be safe for now..."
All of a sudden, Cambot started to ring as Twilight sighed, pushing the button. "Okay, let's see what the Forrester family wants..."
Cambot then showed an image of Pearl and Clayton, frowning as Pearl said, "So Brain Guy didn't quite get you down... disappointing..."
"But..." Clayton smirked. "Good news. We have found two MORE elements... in the same place! Can you believe it? We left Frank and Erdhart to guard them... the Element of Honesty AND the Element of Kindness!"
"And where are they?" Mike asked.
"Both are located within the Greek Times... the times of Hercules!" Pearl smiled... then blinked. "I... probably shouldn't have said that..."
"Afraid that's all we have to say... Frank? Oh, right, he's with Erdhart." Clayton frowned as he pushed the button, causing the screen to go off...
"All right!" Crow said. "The Hercules movies, seems simple enough..."
"So... by Hercules, they don't mean the... Disney Movie, right?" Twilight asked.
"Oh, THIS Hercules is way different!" Mike said. "Zapp, Troy, think you can drive us?"
"We'll try our best." Troy said.
"Great!" Joel said. "Come along, Tricia!"
Everyone blinked as they noticed Tricia Leonard was not here.
"Tricia?" Twilight asked.
"Are you asking about the scientist girl?" Troy asked. "She's over there at the corner of the tree?"
Pinkie blinked as she squinted to see Tricia Leonard holding something to her head. "What is she holding?"
"It looks like a gun..." Rainbow Dash paused... before everybody gasped.
"OH SHI-" Everyone started to panic.
---------------------------------------
ONE INTERVENTION LATER...
------------------------------------------
Twilight, Joel and Mike were looking at a traumatized Tricia as Mike looked down, "Uh, sorry about that. I didn't know you had suicidal thoughts."
"Yeah..." Twilight looked down "...sorry, I guess?"
Tricia sighed as she looked down.
"Are you... feeling better?" Joel asked.
"...I'm crying on the inside..." Tricia said in a monotone voice.
"WONDERFUL!" Joel smiled as he, Mike and Twilight nodded. "Let's go to the next world! Troy, Zapp, ride us away!"
"You know, we've been in a Canada movie, and not once have we done any Canada bashing..." Tom said.
"Guess we were all distracted..." Crow smiled. "Now, why don't we sing a cheerful song to bashing Canada!"
"No way!" Twilight frowned. "We're not bashing a country! They made Total Drama!"
"They also made Johnny Test. What's your point?" Crow frowned.
"Enough!" Pinkie said as she came out in a Mountie outfit. "Let us sing, shall we?"
"Oh, here we go again." Mike sighs a bit as he has seen this before.
"Let's sing!" Pinkie exclaims as a song cue came from out of nowhere. The mare begins to sing.
Pinkie: Oh, I wish I was back in old Canada, A land which I never shall lampoon! How I pine for the ice covering Lake Manitoba, And the beauty that is Saskatoon!
"Allow me." Mike said as he sings next.
Mike: Oh, I wish I was stuck in the hills of Alberta, Drinking beer with some big dumb guy trapping fur! As he scraped and chiseled all the moose dung off his boots, I would learn that he's the Prime Minister!
"Oh, stop that!" Twilight exclaims in annoyance, only for Crow to sing.
Crow: Oh, I wish I was in the land that gave us Peter Jennings, Alanis Morissette, Mike Myers, too!
"Yeah!" Rainbow exclaims, thinking that Crow has seen the light, sort of.
No, I take that back, I wouldn't go there even if you paid me, Oh, Canada, you are a place I must eschew!
"Hey, come on, stop that." Fluttershy exclaims with a frown. "That is no Canadian spirit!"
"Oh, come on, give in! I mean, after all, they gave us Ed the Sock, and Rush!" Mike points out to the ponies with a chuckle.
"Yeah, what are you defending? They're such feebs!' Crow said with a shrug.
"Okay, I'll try!" Twilight sighs, deciding to give the song poking fun a try.
"All right! Good mare!" Joel exclaims as Twilight sings next.
Twilight: (sadly) Oh, I wish I was blowing up Prince Edward Island, And going on to bomb Ontario, heh heh! (Harshly) The destruction of Canada and all of its culture, Is by far my fav-o-rite scenario!
"Okay, well 'dat's a little strong...." Applejack said in concern. Even Troy and Zapp are getting freaked out by this.
"No, no, Mike and his pals were right, this is much more fun!" Twilight exclaims maniacally as she sings some more. This is fun!
Just where the hell does Canada get off sharing a border With countries far superior to it?
"Yikes!" Troy exclaims in fright.
Why, you lousy, stinking, francophonic, bacon-loving bastards, Your country's just a giant piece of sh-
"Whoa! Okay! Whoa!" Most of the gang exclaims quickly, stopping Twilight before she goes too far in the song.
"Calm down, stop!" Pinkie exclaims worried. Twilight sobs as she breaks down. The song has made her a big disgrace, big time.
"Oh, I'm sorry! I have no sense of tolerance! I'm a disgrace to heroes everywhere!" Twilight sobs a bit, feeling disgusted with her for going too far in the Canadian bashing.
"Reminds me of me!" Tom Servo sobs some more. "Oh, I'm a disgrace to my uniform!"
"That's ok. Calm down. Mustn't hate, mustn't hate..." Joel said, patting Tom Servo, trying to comfort him.
"At least so overtly." Crow said with a sigh of concern.
"Exactly. Must disguise our hate." Mike said as the group continues their best to comfort the hurt and freaked out duo.
It took a few minutes or so but Tom Servo and Twilight has finally calm down from their break downs. The group decided to lay low on any Canadian bashing for a while.
The humans sat up front while their non-human friends sat in the back, calming down a bit. Tricia is sitting with them, still silent and monotone. What Mike, Joel and Twilight said to her earlier...has really hit the woman hard.
"Wow, you would've feel sorry for her." Rarity said, glancing at Tricia in concern. "The poor darling."
"What's so poor about her? All she did was shoot and cursed at us since she show up." Rainbow said bored. "Worst OC ever."
"Come on, that ain't true. It's like making fun of someone's OCs for being Sues which they ain't." Pinkie said to Rainbow with a frown.
"Random again, Pinks, random."
"Say, I have an idea." Gypsy said thoughtfully. "Why don't we give Tricia more time and help her?"
"Why?" Crow ask, blinking. "She is useless like the furry guy in "Rock-A-Doodle"."
"Yeah, who is he? A damn Scrappy?" Tom Servo ask with a chuckle.
"Whoa, whoa! No need to..." Pinkie was interrupted as a cell phone is heard. "Huh? What's that?"
"Just my communication wrist I made in case someone from another world is calling." Twilight explains as she holds up a special watch and answers it, confused. "Hello?"
"Oh!" Another Twilight responded. "Um... sorry. I'm trying to reach the Total Drama-Verse."
"Oh, that." Twilight sighed. "Just tell Discord to wire the watch, it should be to the left of a now-decaying Fictional Chronicles universe. If you've reached the decaying Cartoon's Final Fantasy universe, you went too far."
"Twilight, come on!" Joel shouted.
"Yeah! We're getting close to the Greek areas!" Crow shouted as Tom Servo is looking in.
"Is that you?" Tom Servo asked.
"Okay, you know the way, good-bye!" Twilight said as she hung up the watch.
"What 'de heck was 'dat?" Applejack ask, blinking a bit.
"Just a cameo from one of Jus's completed works!" Pinkie exclaims happily.
"Okay, we're here...wherever the hell we are." Zapp grumbles as the car arrives in the Greek areas. "Are they be wearing dresses?"
"Togas, Zapp, togas." Troy corrects his drunken Canadian friend.
The car stops as everyone got out. Joel spoke out, "Okay, everyone. We're about to enter a new area of pain. So rules? Don't drink the water, it may help you forget. Don't take any drink given by some woman who worked with men from outer space..."
"And if you run into any sandstorms..." Tom Servo said grimly to the others.
"We're screwed!" The robots exclaims in worry and sadness.
"Other than that, nothing much to worry about." Rainbow remarks with a shrug.
"Hey, Tricia? Miss?" Troy ask Tricia who stayed in the back. "Aren't you coming?"
"Why bother? I'm useless, no one likes me, I shouldn't even show up or even got on that ship." Tricia said in her usual monotone voice. "I probably should just stay put."
"Wow, looks like we really hit her hard with our "You Suck" speech." Mike said in concern, noting how Tricia is like this since the humans and Twilight told her off. "Anyone got any ideas?"
"We will drag her." Rainbow remarks as she picks up Tricia from the seat. "Come on, let's get moving."
--------------------
Elsewhere, TV's Frank and Dr. Erhardt was watching the arriving on their TV.
"Hmmm, they're here." Dr. Erhardt said with a thoughtful look. "So what shall we do?"
"Oooooh, I got an idea. Let's do a Hercules on them." TV's Frank remarks with a chuckle. "I mean, sending in bad guy after bad guy. How cliché!"
"Yeah...but we may need to do the bad guy thing in one of the tasks."
"Ooooh, and I got a special one."
-----------------
The group moves on their way. Tricia didn't say a word or doesn't want to.
"Halt!" A figure in armor exclaims, blocking their way. "None shall pass!"
"What, are we in Monty Python now?" Joel ask with a frown on his face.
"Spam, spam, spam, wonderful spam!" The robots exclaims, repeating spasm.
"We got to get through, good sir." Fluttershy said, blinking cutely. "So if you don't..."
Fluttershy yelps as the figure blocks her with his sword. He booms, "None shall pass....unless thou passed the 3 tasks!"
"Okay, what are the 3 tasks?" Mike ask the figure, blinking a bit.
"Beat the humongous Cyclops!"
"What Cy..." Rarity yelps as a foot stomps near her, causing her to scream. "Oh my goodness!"
A huge Cyclops appears, roaring and laughing like mad. The gang gapes at how big he is. They got to beat him to complete the first task?
"How are we going to get past this Cyclops..." Rarity sighed as they looked up at the huge Cyclops.
The Cyclops just stomped over as he glared down... before he started talking in a dumb accent. "So, you think you can beat me in a combat match, do you?"
"Well... pretty much, yes." Rainbow frowned.
"Oh, no, no, no! You did not just say that. I did not hear that! There ain't no way I am going to be beaten by some four-legged, different colored, fairy-tale-cliché, little ponies. Get up outta here!" The Cyclops ordered.
Twilight glared as all six ponies went into a fighting stance at the Cyclops as she said, "Bring it..."
The Cyclops just laughed artily as he grew two more arms and grabbed a hammer and club respectively as he started to charge right up at the ponies...
As the fighting was going on, Mike and Joel were watching as Crow frowned. "Are we even being used for battles at this point?"
"Yeah, we're doing less battling on our end and more 'just comment on the enemies'." Tom explained as he sighed. "I mean, Joel, you'll occasionally pull out a weapon, but that's about it."
"Yeah... most of the battles were either taken care of by the ponies..." Joel nodded.
"To be fair, though, at least THIS TIME, it's the ponies fighting. In Total Drama Equestria, they didn't even get used for battles." Mike explained.
"Yeah, the Total Drama cast did most of the battling." Gypsy explained.
"True that, true that." Crow said as the ponies defeated the Cyclops and pushed them down the road.
"Okay, we have defeated the first task!" Twilight said in delight as she turned to Tricia Leonard. "Isn't it crazy?"
Tricia just stared in silence.
"Right?" Twilight paused.
Tricia still stared in silence.
"Are you mad?" Twilight asked.
"Go fuck yourselves." Tricia growled as she turned around.
"What, are you going to throw a hissy fit now that..." Twilight started.
"Look, guys, I'm REALLY not in the mood for this bullshit right now!" Tricia frowned.
"You know, Tricia, you're supposed to be a crucial part to the team!" Mike sighed. "What if we got captured and we need your help or some-"
"Look!" Tricia frowned as she turned to everyone. "If you guys need help beating a tough enemy you can't beat OR you need an invention for a certain situation, I'll help you out! I'm just not in the mood for conversation right now, okay?"
"All right, fine." Pinkie said as she and the others turned away. "None of us wanted to talk to you anyway."
"Well, it seems you have beaten your first task... now for the second task..." The figure started.
"Well, go ahead." Gypsy said to the figure with a nod.
"Solve my riddle: what...does Napoleon say at the Battle of Waterloo?" The figure ask sternly.
"I give up." Joel remarks with a shrug.
"Damn. They always get that one right. One more task: a couple of guys with swords charging at you and falling off the cliff!"
The group saw a couple of guys yelling as they charge at them with swords. Troy and Zapp moved out of the way, causing the enemies to fall off the cliff screaming.
"It's hard to get good extras these days." Tom Servo remarks with a sigh.
"Aw, just go already!" The figure snaps to the ponies sternly.
"Finally, we won!" Twilight giggles as she and her pals goes past the figure.
"Halt!" The figure said as he stops Mike. "Your friends did most but all you did is jackcrap! Fight me in battle if you wish to past!
"You're kidding." Mike snaps in annoyance, yelping as the figure got his sword out.
"Thou shall not pass!'
"Fine. Someone give me a weapon!"
Rarity grabs a sword that was dropped and passed it to Mike. The man dodges the figure's sword as he cut his arm off.
"There, now stand aside!" Mike exclaims to the figure in satisfaction.
"Nay, naïve; 'Tis but a scratch." The figure insists much to the group's disbelief.
"A scratch?! Your arm's off!!" Mike protests to the figure in disbelief.
"No it isn't!"
Rarity points to the arm on the ground, demanding, "Then what's that then?"
The figure, glancing, respond, "I've had worse."
"Yer're a liar!" Applejack exclaims in disbelief.
"Come on, you pansy!!"
The two fighters clash swords once and more, making around until the other arm of the figure was chopped. Mike, smirking, said, "All right! I kicked butt! Now..." Without warning, the figure kicks him down. "WHAT THE HELL!?"
"Come on then!" The figure exclaims moving around as he kicks some more. "Have at you!!"
"Are you kidding?" Spike yells at the figure in disbelief.
"Ooooh, had enough eh?"
"Ya dumbass, look at yourself! You got no arms!!" Mike exclaims pissed. This guy is really pissing him off!
"Yes I have!" The figure insists in denial. The heroes look disbelief. Is this guy stupid or what?
"No, look!!" Spike exclaims, pointing out the missing arm.
"Just a flesh wound!"
The figure kicks at Mike, making him yelp in annoyance, "Will you stop that?!"
The figure smirks as he did some mock clucking, "Chicken! Bawk bawk bawk! Chicken!!"
"If you don't stop that, I will cut off your leg!" Mike yelps as the figure kicks at him again. "Well, I warned you!"
The figure yelps as Mike cuts one of the figure's legs off...but all he does is hops around, regardless.
"Right! I'll do you for that!" The figure remarks stupidly.
"What?" Fluttershy ask confused, having no idea what he's on about.
"Oh brother!" Crow exclaims, rolling his eyes in disbelief.
"Come here!!" The figure exclaims, hopping about. The heroes couldn't believe it. All that and he still wants to fight?!
"What are you gonna do, bleed on me?" Mike ask the figure in annoyance.
"I'M INVINCIBLE!!"
"You're a looney." Joel snaps at the figure in annoyance.
"Just cut off his other leg so we can leave!" Applejack snaps to Tricia in annoyance.
"The warrior ALWAYS triumphs!!" The figure laughs as he kept on hopping. "Have at you!!"
"OH SHUT UP!" Mike screams as he cuts off the figure's other leg, sending him to the ground. The opponent looks at himself, he has no limbs left!
"Okay, we'll call it a draw."
"Let's go, can we go?" Rainbow ask impatiently, crossing her arms.
"Right, I feel stupid even around this idiot." Zapp complains with Troy nodding in agreement.
The group moves onward to the next area. As the figure watch them go, he yells out tauntingly, "Oh! Had enough, eh? Come back and take what's coming to you, you yellow bastards!! Come back here and take what's coming to you! I'll bite your legs off!"
"SHUT UP!!!!" Most of the group snaps in irritation at the figure.
"Okay, the next elements should be over there." Mike said as he looks at the device to locate the next elements.
"And the next part of this chapter is even further." Pinkie said with a groan.
-----------
"Well, I got to admit, they did alright." Dr. Erhardt said in observation.
"I agree. Ooooh, I got an idea. Something Steve and I once inflicted on Joel and the robots during "Hercules Vs. The Moon Men"." TV's Frank said with a slight grin. "You're going to love it...or don't! Ha ha ha!"
-----------
The group are in a desert like area, following the device.
"Well, good work back there, Tricia." Joel said to Tricia, impressed.
"Screw it. I only did it because he won't let me by." Tricia remarks with a scoff.
"Okay, we should be getting closer." Twilight said, looking at the idea. Wind begins to pick up. "Boy, the wind is picking up."
"Yeah, sand is blowing around." Crow comments. Then a hint of horror hits him. "Sand is blowing around?!"
"Oh no, NO! NOT THIS!!!" Tom Servo screams frantically.
Sand blows around like mad. Fluttershy gasps, "Oh dear, what is this?"
"No, the sandstorm scene from the Hercules film with the moon guys!" Joel complains frantically. "Also known as..."
"Deep Hurting, Deep Hurting!" Joel and the robots exclaims frantically.
"What is it?" Rainbow ask, trying to see through the sandstorm in concern.
"It's when guys wander around with no action happening!" Tom Servo complains frantically.
"Oh great!" Zapp groans as he moves his hands in front of his face. "As if my day isn't screwed up as it is!"
-----------------------------------
Indeed, a massive sand storm had overcome the entire place... even in Equestria, as people had difficulty seeing what was going on...
The sand started to blow... and it blew... and it blew...
--------------------------------------------
(To the tune of "The Rain Rain Rain Came Down Down Down" from "The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh")
(Chorus)
The sandy storm
Came blowing in,
Less than twelve minutes,
And in the middle of that stormy weather,
It went right to Mr. Clayton!
Meanwhile, with Pearl, Brain Guy, Bobo and Dr. Forrester, they were getting close as all of a sudden, Clayton felt sand everywhere.
"What the?" Clayton said in shock as sand started to hit his eyes.
That Clayton, he was pissed off,
He had a thing to bill,
And he went to the cliff and...
Yelled right to the hill!
Dr. Forrester frowned as he went to the hill and started yelling, "FRANK! ERDHART! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU FOR THIS!"
His echoes started going...
Hoping that it reached their ears...
"Clay! Help us read this, will you?" Pearl called to Dr. Forrester as he came over.
And the sandy storm
Came blowing in,
So Clayton started readin'!
"Okay, let's see... if we go left..." Clayton said as he tried to squint at the machine through the sand storm.
Frank and Erdhart blinked as they just looked around, wondering where the music came from... but then, all of a sudden... Joel, Mike and the others just appeared out of nowhere.
"Oh crap!" Frank jumped. "How did you get here so fast?"
"Uh... power of music, I guess?" Joel said, everyone else still continued on where the music came from.
"Seriously, the author decided a song parody was the best way to get us through?" Pinkie asked.
"Uh... see ya!" Erdhart grabbed the two elements and used a smoke bomb to blind the others as he and Frank got away.
Twilight groaned. "After them, quick!"
"Yay! Cue the music!" Pinkie giggles as she got out a stereo and turns it on. Benny Hill music begins to play.
"Benny Hill?!" The robots groans out in disbelief and annoyance.
Still, everyone chases the two all over the place, going over hills, through forest, doing so quickly.
"Does anyone notice we change scenes quickly?" Rainbow ask, noting how some parts of the areas looks like they are changing woods.
"It happened in Gunslinger; it’s confusing!" Joel explains. He yelps as TV's Frank appears, firing at the group. "Hey!"
"Oh, it's the same trick I told you guys about, remember?" Tom Servo ask with a grin on his face.
"How does it work?" Troy ask Tom Servo curiously.
"Ugh, I hate your voice. Watch!"
Tom Servo zips off...and appears near TV's Frank. The villain yelps as he runs off.
"How did he get there?" Spike yelps in shock and confusion.
"Easy!" Pinkie exclaims as she disappears and reappears near Tom. "Now you try!"
"Forget it, I am keeping my sanity for this!"
The group continues chasing the bad guys, heading to a doors area. Tricia groans, "Aww, shit. Not this bit with the doors."
The two villains separate and rush into the doors with the others chasing them, going into separate door. One door opens with Erhardt being chased by Tricia and Rarity into another door. Another door opens with Spike and Fluttershy chasing TV's Frank. A waiter somehow appears with a plate of glasses, walking down...only for Twilight and Mike to crash into him, causing the waiter to drop his stuff as they pass by.
"Sacre bleu!" The waiter groans as he got up and heads away.
Another door opens...as Fluttershy and some ducks rush through into another door. Yet another door opens as the villains are chasing the robots quickly. Soon Tricia rush down and collides into Erhardt, causing all doors to open, with everyone peeking out in shock. Once the doors are closed yet again, the waiter came back.
"This time, moi won't drop them." The waiter said with a grunt.
However all the doors opens as everyone rush in and out through them. The waiter yelps as he dodges quickly. When everyone is gone, he sighs...
Only for Pinkie to knock him from behind, exclaiming, "Sorry!" The waiter hits the floor, crashing his stuff anyway.
"Damn it! Moi hates this bit!" The waiter complains.
The chase ends in an arena where the heroes are at...but no bad guys.
"Now where them vermints went off 'ta?" Applejack ask with a deep frown, looking around.
"So, looks like they won't give up?" Dr. Earhardt's voice taunts. "Bwa ha ha ha ha, and ha some more!'
"Well, if you wish to beat us, you must go after us in a contest of skills, in a game appropriate for Hercules!" TV's Frank exclaims in determination.
"In a game we like to call..."
Lights came on as the heroes saw an intense obstacle course, right out of...
"AMERICAN GLADIATORS!!!!" The two villains' voices boom out.
"American Gladiators?" The ponies ask bewildered and confused. They haven't seen anything like this before.
"How about you let us deal with this?" Mike ask the ponies in concern. "You got the fighting so far."
"Uh huh. And how are you going to deal with that?" Rainbow ask dryly, pointing to the treadmills in one part, the hand bikes on the second part, the wall on the third one, which ends on two platforms where a huge American Gladiator is on, waiting with his big stick thingie.
"Okay, you can work with us."
Pinkie then zoomed up as she beat the treadmills, rode the bikes, went over the wall, and then pushed the gladiator off the path as he fell right down. "WHOO!"
Everybody just stared dumbfounded... as TV's Frank coughed, putting the gladiator back. "Well... if she can do it... I suppose the rest of you can."
Everybody else nodded as they started to do the obstacle course, but they were having a bit of trouble as they tried to go over the treadmills.
As Pinkie was sitting next to Frank and Erdhardt, she turned to them and said, "Say... back in the early chapters, Erdhardt, you were jealous of Frank. What changed your mind?"
"You were jealous?" Frank asked. "Why?"
Erdhardt groaned. "Because I thought Forrester wouldn't replace me! I guess I was wrong on that part!"
"Oh, come on." Frank sighed. "Look, I was told by Forrester you got eaten by a giant spider."
Erdhardt frowned. "Where did you get that dumb idea?"
"I don't know, maybe it was one of the movies Joel and the Bots riffed..." Frank said.
"Oh, was it?" Erdhardt glared. "Well, I know I'm giving Clay a piece of my mind! Frank, would you be willing to come with me?"
"Certainly!" Frank smiled as he handed Pinkie the Elements. "Here you go. Didn't need them anyway. See ya later!"
With that, Frank and Erdhardt ran out as Pinkie squealed at the delight of getting two elements.
"YAY! We are about done!" Pinkie said as Twilight, her friends, Joel, Mike and the bots and the ever-so silent Tricia came in. "Twilight, we beat the bad guys! Teleport those bad boys!"
"You got it!" Twilight said as she teleported the Element of Honesty and Element of Kindness out of the scene.
"Okay... that leaves just..." Pinkie started... as Cambot flickered and gave a picture of Pearl and Clayton, still in their forms.
"That's right, the Element of Randomness!" Pearl shouted.
"You mean the Element of Surprise?" Clayton blinked.
"Element of Laughter?" Brain Guy blinked.
"Element of Oatmeal?" Bobo just shrugged.
"Element of Ice Cream?" Frank paused.
"Element of Happiness?" Dr. Erdhardt blinked.
"It's the Element of Laughter." Pinkie groaned. "Stop butchering my element's name!"
"Well, whatever! We got it!" Pearl frowned. "And if you want to come near us... you have to go to the final level..."
"Final level?" Twilight blinked.
"Uh, Twilight, would you be a dear and help me out, please?" Celestia's voice was heard.
Everybody gasped. "PRINCESS CELESTIA!"
"Would you believe I found the Element of Laughter RIGHT under Celestia's throne?" Pearl smiled, holding up the Element. "I'm telling you; that was incredibly lucky!"
"Well, TTFN, ta ta for now! Push the button, Frank!" Clayton said as Frank obeyed, pushing the button.
"Oh shit..." Twilight gasped. "Forrester and his goons have the castle... WHERE THE OTHER ELEMENTS ARE! SHOOT!"
"Does this mean we have to go now?" Spike said.
"Yes, now, go!" Twilight said as everyone started panicking.
"Sheesh!" Tom Servo said, worried. "This is going to be big..."
"I know..." Crow groaned. "I have a feeling the next three chapters are going to be pretty epic..."
The mother and son chuckles as they stare at the princesses, who are tied up and hung from the ceiling, with collars keeping their powers in check.
Forrester remarks, "I must confess, princesses, you two should've kept your guard down! No wonder your enemies took you down easily."
"And how do you even know that?" Luna ask dryly.
"Discord may not be in control of the body, but I got his memories...copies...oh well..."
"And now, the enemy will be here, ready to save the princess's princess!" Pearl exclaims with a cruel laugh. She stops, adding, "You know it's you, right Celestia?"
"Uh, I'm only her mentor. I'm not like that." Celestia remarks, although a blush is seen on her face.
"Oh please! Only an idiot would not know that your student got a thing for you and you wise versa!"
"Well, it's true. You do talked about her, planning on being with her forever, sister." Luna said with a giggle, making her sister blush some more.
"S-s-s-shut up! We're not turning this into a love fest!" Celestia insists, trying to keep herself under control. "Ahem. Princess Twilight Sparkle, the humans and their friends will be here to stop you. You aren't like Tirek. You may look like Discord or Chrysalis, but..."
"But nothing! We have tortured two guys and a couple of robots up to now. And now, we will show how wicked we truly are! Ha ha ha ha!" Pearl exclaims with an evil laugh, rubbing his hooves together.
Forester suggest "Why don't we recruit some of THIS universe's monsters to back up our diversion? Something appropriate for an ancient city-type setting?"
"Maybe...when we get the time, son. Trust me. Actually, we do!"
The two villains leave, leaving the princesses by themselves. Luna pauses as she spoke, "So if Twilight was a stallion, would you still have him?"
"WILL THOU LEAVE OUR LOVE LIFE OUT OF THIS?!" Celestia exclaims, yelling in annoyance and frustration. They are trapped with the elements in danger, and her sister wants to discuss her relationship with Twilight!
No one in Canterlot knew that the castle was under siege by the new forces. Then again, no one even know of it soon the forces kept the occupation a secret. And no one even questions humans arriving with the heroes of Equestria either.
"You guys go ahead." Zapp remarks as he prepares to drive off. "I got enough madness to last a lifetime."
"Good life!" Troy calls as the truck drives away.
"Well, there goes more allies from a movie." Mike said, commenting on Troy and Zapp exciting.
"Awww, they are useless anyway!" Gypsy remarks with a scoff. "We got what we need."
"Well, we got to get over to the castle." Fluttershy said as the group make their way to the castle. "We can only hope they didn't do something crazy."
"Like what? Send in monsters to keep us busy?" Tom Servo ask with a scoff. "They've send everything against us and we succeeded!"
"Well, mostly the ponies. We're just in the background." Crow said, complaining. "Argh! We suck! We are supposed to be co-heroes in this and we didn't do any much fighting!"
"I know! We're turning this into a pointless fic!"
The two male robots sobs loudly. Joel sighs, patting his pals on the back, saying, "Calm down, calm down, guys. I'm sure we will prove our worth somehow."
"Or die dying!" Pinkie exclaims happily, bouncing up and down.
"D-d-d-die?" Fluttershy ask in fright, squeaking a bit.
The group reach the front of the castle, and hid. They look up to see no guards at the gate. Very suspicious. It's like the enemy is practically inviting our heroes to come in.
"Could be a trap, sugah cube." Applejack said suspiciously, tipping her hat up a bit. "An' we done need 'ta sprang it."
"Well, come on!" Spike laughs as he approaches the gate. "They are expecting us. Let's get it..."
Suddenly stomping noises are heard, making the group yelp as a Dragon foot appears, stopping Spike from getting in. They gasps as a huge Red Dragon appears in the way, smirking wickedly.
"Oh, hey, it's our big Dragon friend from when he was sleeping!" Pinkie exclaims happily. "Did you enjoy your sleep?"
"Better...and now, I'm ready to stomp ya!" The Red Dragon laughs as he send out flames onto the group who dodges.
"Whoa, whoa, hey!" Joel exclaims as he and his pals dodges the flames in time.
"Red Dragon, we asked you to sleep elsewhere! Why are you attacking now?!" Twilight exclaims, teleporting while dodging the flames like mad.
"Simple. The new guys in charge offered us some gems to do this. What a Dragon to do, eh?" The Red Dragon ask with a scoff.
"Us?" Rarity ask, arching an eyebrow. She yelps as someone big flew down and send down more flames onto the heroes. It's the Green Dragon, the same one that Spike unintentionally pissed off during the time he ran away. "Eeek!"
"I see you, little thief!" Green Dragon roars, spotting Spike in fury. "Gems are mine but revenge will be an extra bonus!"
"Oh great!" Spike exclaims as he and his pals dodges the flames quickly. "I've just had to tick off one of the Dragons."
"Fluttershy!" Rainbow calls out to Fluttershy who stood there, frightened out of her coat, almost. "Use your Stare!"
"C-c-c-c-can't. Too s-s-s-s-scared." Fluttershy said with a whimper.
"Come on, Fluttershy!" Discord's spirit exclaims as he appears, pleading to his friend. "Do it for me."
"Hey, where did you went off to?!" Crow demands to Discord in annoyance. "We haven't seen ya in who knows how long?!"
"Look, the author just put me in here at random! I ain't important like you guys are in this story!"
"What's next? A big huge hydra will show up, wanting a meal?" Mike ask in amusement. Suddenly a foot lands near the human, almost crushing him. The gang turns to see a huge hydra roaring.
"Good one, Nelson." Tricia remarks to Mike sarcastically. "Now we got three monstrous assholes chasing us!"
"Not bad for an afternoon."
------------
"Let's get ready to rumble!" Forrester exclaims wickedly as he and his pals watch the monsters appearing, preparing to take down the intruders for their dark master.
"I love a good monster fight!" Bobo remarks, mouth full of popcorn.
------------------
Of course, as per usual, as Joel, Mike and the bots sat down to watch the ponies take care of the Dragons and hydra, Mike turned to the others.
"You know, it's not quite as bad, just staying around in the background." Mike said.
"I don't blame ya." Crow said as he sipped on a cup of lemonade. "Though it's weird seeing it from a different angle."
"Yeah..." Joel nodded as Fluttershy got the confidence and stared down the red dragon. "Though I wish we did a little more, you know?"
"Well, at least we're managing something..." Mike said as he was pulling out a small invention. "Say, Joel, does this Mind-Controlled Guitar still work?"
"Hmmm... may as well be worth a shot. Hook me up on it." Joel said as Mike started to do so.
As the ponies were doing battle with the Hydra and green dragon, Twiight yelped. "It's no use! We can't manage to do two things at one time... and Fluttershy is too busy staring down the red Dragon!"
"If only we had actual people to help us... like the ones that we have been constantly dragging around in the background for whatever reason!" Pinkie called.
As if on cue, a loud guitar strum was heard. The green Dragon and the Hydra instantly turned to see Joel, Tom, Crow, Gypsy and Mike all strapped in with an electrical guitar attached to hands.
"Okay, let's give them a taste of sound!" Joel said as he closed his eyes... as the guitar started to strum with the mechanical hands, causing musical notes to get summoned to beat down the Hydra.
"Drum solo!" Tom called as drum sounds were heard, beating up the life of the green Dragon.
"Trumpet, tuba, horn!" Crow called as horn sounds came out of the guitar, the musical notes strangling the lives of the hydra and green Dragon.
"And last, but most certainly not least... FULL POWER BAND!" Mike and Gypsy called as the musical instruments beat down the dragons and hydra as they were tossed all the way to the side.
Twilight smiled as she said, "I am so impressed. You guys actually did something for once!"
"Well, what can we say? We've been riffing in the background for... far too long. It's time we took a step in." Tom said.
"Well, come on, we better get going to the gates!" Twilight said as the gates opened and the others went in and entered the castle.
"Okay... looks like they got past the first obstacle..." Forrester said as he was holding the Element of Laughter. "Now... we just need a new plan."
"Don't worry, Clay! The dodos we hired have it covered." Pearl said. "Just give me a second, I got to powder my nose."
"Fine." Clayton rolled his eyes as he put down the Element of Laughter for a mere moment. Of course, as soon as both their backs were turned, a portal appeared out of nowhere as a hand grabbed that element and replaced it with another element. None of them noticed as Clayton said, "Just hurry up... we have some more negotiations to make with the princesses..."
"Right..." Pearl said as she walked out with her legs.
Clayton smirked as he grabbed the element. "Meanwhile... I'll be thinking about betraying you at any time... think you can take my experiments without MY warrant? You're going to be surprised..."
As Pearl went out, she frowned as she said, "Clayton's getting a little too needy... I'm just glad he's decided not to murder me..."
Pearl paused. "...or IS he planning to?"
Pearl frowned. "Well... not if I do it first... Once the elements are united in our hands, I'll get rid of Clayton the first chance I'll get... and turn myself back to a human. That's the second priority."
Meanwhile, at the place where the Elements are, a portal opened as a little girl's voice was heard, "Step one, completed. Now for step two, bait..."
A hand came out as she opened up the suitcase and slipped in a note. "Far back as possible... here we go... and the bait is set. Now... to wait... and while I'm waiting, I'll set up the final test..."
Meanwhile, back with the ponies, humans and bots, they started to walk around as Twilight sighed, "I can't believe how close we are to being done with this adventure."
"I know it!" Pinkie said. "I thought this would last twelve chapters, counting the prologue."
"Maybe it was a little more shorter than we thought." Tom Servo said.
"Yeah... especially since SHE hasn't done anything at all useful, we're just... dragging her around at this point." Crow sighed, pointing over to Tricia.
"Why did this character even come to existence, anyway?" Mike whispered.
"No idea." Joel whispered back.
"You know, I can hear you, right?" Tricia groaned.
Nobody else said anything as they continued onwards...
...into the castle as they move down a hall. Fortunately, there isn't any guards or villains to deal with so it looks like the gang got a clear run.
The group reaches the doors to the throne room and opens them. There's the princesses in the cages, trying to escape.
"Twilight!" Celestia exclaims as her fellow princess and her friends rush into the room.
"Celestia, I'm so sorry for this!" Twilight exclaims as she and his pals work on trying to open the cages. "Give us a few seconds and we will get you out."
"And then you two will lay in bed, screwing one another, and smoking while the slave pony starves!" Tom Servo exclaims happily, making Twilight and Celestia blush a bit.
"TOM!" The two princesses exclaims.
"Oh boy, this isn't good. The fusing is already turning ponies into lesbians. Something not bound to happen in these kind of stories." Tricia said with a frown. "See? I can be useful!"
"How about we just kill you and get it over with, Scrappy?" Rainbow ask Tricia with a glare.
"What was that?"
"Scrappy! So far, you are useless! Come on, why do we even have you around? You should've just stayed on your world and all we got would be Mike, Joel and the robots!"
"Well, she does have a point." Joel said to Tricia in concern. "Your plot seems to stop after the prologue...or was it first chapter?"
"Damn it, enough already! I get it, I was a jerk, a bitch, useless!" Tricia exclaims, feeling like hurting someone or someone else. "But I am not a Scrappy! I was put into this story for a good reason! I demand some respect, I demand..."
"Oh shut up!" Some voices exclaims, interrupting Tricia. The group saw the bad guys in the room.
"Hello, Nelson! Miss me?" Forrester ask sinisterly as he moves around in his new body.
"Give Discord his body you big meanie!" Fluttershy demands sternly. Forrester threw a ball at her which misses. The mare yelps and moves aside. "Err, when you want to..."
"Give us the elements!" Pearl demands to the heroes. "We know you have them!"
"Oh yeah, sister? You want them, you gotta fight us for them!" Gypsy exclaims sternly to Pearl.
"Dream on. Clay and I got powers you haven't dream of! The others..."
"I got a bat!" Bobo laughs as he held up a bat which slipped from his head and hits TV's Frank. "Oops. My bad!"
"That's o...ouch!" TV's Frank groans as he felt his forehead.
"We won't tell you where the elements are!" Twilight exclaims as she and her friends and allies prepare to take on the bad guys. Because let's face it, folks, it's about to happen at this point. "We will get the last one from you all, save Equestria, and send our friends home!"
"In that case, it's us against you all in a final showdown!" Forrester exclaims madly. He comment, "Okay, cue the 60s Batman fight scene music."
Brain Guy made a boom box appears as the said music appears. Tricia groans as she moves aside, "I will just be here...be useless and hope to die. All of you are jerks..."
Rainbow screamed as she started to charge right into Brain Guy as Brain Guy held a position.
BIFF!
Rainbow was still holding her position as she blinked. She saw Brain Guy down at the ground. "Uh... did anybody see what happened? I'm pretty sure I didn't hit this guy."
"CHARGE!" Dr. Erdhardt called as Rainbow charged right at him.
KAPOW!
Rainbow blinked as she saw Erdhardt on the ground with Brain Guy, still confused. "What's going on? I didn't even touch him!"
"This must be the fusing's work." Mike said.
"It's getting worse than we thought, we need to get to the Elements in my room!" Celestia whispered to Luna.
"Thanks for the info, Princess!" Forrester said as he and Pearl started running up the stairs. Celestia's eyes widened as she realized she didn't even know Forrester and Pearl were standing right next to them.
Celestia face palmed as Luna shook her head. "Oh, good one, Celestia!"
"Mike, Joel, Crow, Tom, Gypsy, Cambot, Twilight, we need you guys to go up there and save the Elements at all costs! I'm pretty sure they took the last Element with them too!" Celestia ordered.
Twilight nodded. "Right. Come on, Tricia!"
"M-me?" Tricia blinked in confusion.
"Well, you had to be in this story for a reason..." Twilight said.
"YAAAA!" Bobo called as he was holding the bat.
TWIDDLE!
Rainbow, Fluttershy, Applejack, Pinkie and Rarity blinked as they looked up in confusion, Bobo was now joining Erdhardt and Brain Guy in the pile.
"Twiddle?" Applejack blinked in confusion.
"What, the fusing is affecting the sound effects as well?" Rarity asked.
Bobo, Brain Guy, Erdhardt and Frank then joined up.
Rainbow turned to the others. "You guys go on ahead... this might be boring to watch."
Mike, Joel, Crow, Tom, Gypsy, Cambot, Twilight and Tricia nodded as they started to follow Pearl and Forrester up to the room.
Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, Pinkie and Rainbow then charged at the four...
Pretty soon, Pearl and Forrester had just reached the box with the elements inside them.
"At last!" Pearl and Forrester smirked as they opened the box and got all the elements. "And now... for the affection of the world..."
Pearl and Forrester both stopped for a moment... before giving a big glare right at each other. Pearl and Forrester then each pulled out a gun and pointed it at their head.
Forrester glared at Pearl as he said, "Oh... you wanted to kill me again, eh?"
"Yeah... you too?" Pearl asked.
"Pretty much!" Forrester said, still holding the gun to her head.
"Well, one of us to bound to pull the trigger sometime..." Pearl smirked.
"Betraying your own son again... tsk tsk." Forrester rolled his eyes.
"I could say the same for you, betraying your own mother..." Pearl glared, still holding the gun.
"Stop right- oh... bad time?" Mike said as the humans, bots and Twilight stormed in.
"Just a second..." Forrester said as he and Pearl were squaring off, each still having a gun to their head.
"Hmmm..." Mike smiled as he said, "If you're going to be squaring off, can we have that Element of Laughter?"
"Fine. Just put it with the others." Forrester said, not paying attention, throwing the Element to Mike.
"Yeah, we're kinda in a quarrel here!" Pearl glared at Forrester.
"Sweet!" Twilight smiled as she put the final element in the box. "That's all the Elements... now we can finally put a stop to this madness!"
"And before we forget... wouldn't it be more appropriate to square off against each other in your own bodies?" Joel smirked.
"Hmmm... good point. We don't want to take an innocent life if I die by her hands." Forrester said...
"Let me fix you up a bit then..." Twilight said as she used her magic to transform Pearl and Dr. Forrester back to their human selves.
Pearl, not caring that she just turned back to human, along with Dr. Forrester, who also turned back to his regular human self, green lab coat and white streak in his hair, were still glaring as Twilight smiled.
"And now... for the elements..." Twilight smiled as she looked at the elements... then blinked in confusion. "Something's wrong. These aren't our elements!"
"What?" Tom and Crow said as they looked.
"Are you sure?" Joel asked.
"Yeah, I'm pretty sure these aren't ours! I mean, we saw the real elements, these look like they were crafted by a little girl!" Twilight pointed out.
"What's this note?" Gypsy asked as Tricia picked up the note and read it.
"Dear MSTers and ponies...
As the girl responsible for the fusing that happened in the first place, I must say you guys really did a number to impress. But if you truly want the Elements back, you must succumb to one final test... find the elements in the portal I took them to... where my home dimension lies. Once you find them, you are free to exit. It doesn't matter who I am, but let's just say... I'm worse than the powers of the devil himself. Be sure to keep a watch. Be warned... you might not be ready for what you'll witness. I would say be careful, but... I'm actually hoping you die. If you want to take the challenge, the portal will activate. Step into it once you are ready.
Signed..."
"And that's it. There's just a drawing of an S with ram horns and a devil's tail in the signature." Tricia said.
Twilight blinked. "I don't know of anything like that... we better get the others in on this quick..."
BANG!
The others turned to see Pearl holding a gun, Clayton lying on the ground, dead once again.
"Looks like he was too slow for my reflexes..." Pearl smirked... when all of a sudden, she felt herself being tied up. "HEY!"
"We're taking you to a cage somewhere... just so you're out of trouble!" Tricia called as she started to drag Pearl.
"I just hope Discord got his body back..." Twilight paused.
"FINALLY!" Discord's voice was heard in excitement.
"I believe he just did..." Joel said as the others ran downstairs.
Meanwhile, in a dimension filled with monitors, the same little girl was sighing as she nodded. "Okay... let's see how they succumb to one final test... I can't wait to see what they can do..."
The girl chuckled to herself evilly as she relaxed. "Oh, Solara, you've got yourself a good show!"
The group looks concerned. All their enemies has been taken out, but they now have to face an unknown foe to get the elements back?
Upon arriving downstairs, they found Discord, back in his own body, sighing a bit.
"Discord! Are you okay?" Fluttershy asks happily for her friend.
"Yes, I am. After a few chapters of being out of action, I am ready to kick the ass of the stinker who took my body!" Discord exclaims, determined to get payback.
"No worries! Clayton is now deader than a doornail, no offense to the doornail!" Pinkie exclaims happily, bouncing up and down.
"But now we got a new problem." Joel said in concern. "Someone took the elements to some sort of new universe."
"And I suppose you would be needing my help in getting them back." Discord said, arching an eyebrow at this.
"Pretty much." Tricia remarks as she holds Pearl. "Got any cages to put the bitch in?"
Discord snaps his fingers, making a cage appear. Tricia threw Pearl into the cage before it closes itself, locking up. The evil woman scowls, "Oh, damn it! I knew I should've just killed you all when I had a chance!"
"Tough luck, lady!" Rainbow remarks, sticking her tongue out at Pearl.
"Well, anyone up for one more team-up before we finally get back to our home?" Mike ask his friends and allies hopefully.
"I hope so! After dealing with this mess, suddenly watching movies are more tame right now." Crow said with a frown, deciding that watching movies is much better than this.
"Let's find out who the bitch is and get the stuff back!" Tom Servo exclaims, laughing like a scoundrel ready for the final battle.
"Discord? Can you get free the princesses while we're gone?" Twilight ask Discord in concern. "And be gentle with Celestia."
"Oooooh, the lover of the princess wants me to be gentle?" Discord teases Twilight, making her blush. "Come on! Even I know what's going on between you two, even before the fus..."
"And with that in mind, onward to the mission!"
“I thought we need Discord for this?” Rarity ask as the group leaves the room.
“We said “pretty much”. Besides, Discord is needed in case some jerk tried to attack Equestria while we’re gone.” Twilight points out to Rarity.
The Mane Six, Spike and humans head back to Celestia's room and to the portal. They nodded and jump in, ready for the big showdown.
"TO BE CONTINUED!!!!!" Pinkie's voice echoes as everyone jumps through the portal.
Michael J. Nelson has seen and done a lot of weird things over the times he was forced to watch movies on the Satellite of Love. There are smart ass robots, movies that are so confusing or bad, you would wanna pull your hair out, mole people, Torgo, white guys with brains in their salad bowls, a world of apes, people in togas, a weird smelly guy, all that stuff.
Mike recently is now dealing with ponies, a crazy woman who thought he stole the Satellite of Love who became insane and mostly useless, a chimera, monsters, etc. etc.
But this world here? Well, it beats them all. Some sort of dimension that one has never been to before and hopefully would never been to before.
"Okay, so how does one get through this place?" Joel ask as he and the others look around. "This is like the wormhole thing Gypsy told me about."
"Right, let's hope Mike doesn't turn into a cute robot again." Gypsy comments, causing Tom and Crow to laugh in amusement.
"Hey, hey, stop that, Gypsy! At least everything is in the right timeline here. That wormhole trip was insane." Mike said, recalling that trip and not with so fond memories.
"Hmmm." Twilight said, looking around. "Whoever stole the elements should be around here, waiting for us..."
"And how will we even find the elements?" Spike ask in concern. "This place is like one big maze."
"Oh, easy!" Pinkie exclaims as she pulls out a map.
"Where did 'yew get 'dat?" Applejack ask Pinkie, surprised that her friend has got a map from who knows where.
"Oh, I got it on the last minute. Squee!"
"Give me that!" Mike snaps at Pinkie as he took the map from her. "Okay, the nearest element is nearby here."
"Yeah, let's get to it before the real villain shows up." Rainbow remarks as the group moves to the closet element.
"Knowing certain major asshole villains, the main villain will most likely do so." Tricia remarks, having a feeling that whoever stole the elements will most likely show up at any given time.
The others quickly found themselves in the first area... a good old-fashioned 1920s place as the others looked around.
"What is this?" Crow asked.
"Well, Crow, this place is what we call a place that is in the 'Roaring 20s'." Joel said as the others looked around. "See, at the time, World War I had just ended, with America on top and everyone celebrating the lives of many."
"Cool..." Pinkie smiled. "So, we're in a world where everything was cheap back then!"
"Pretty much so." Joel said as everyone looked around to see a note that read 'To the MSTers and ponies' on it.
"Our mysterious villain?" Twilight said as Tricia took the note and read it.
"Dear MSTers and ponies...
Thank you for taking on the challenge. Your first element, the Element of Magic, is right inside. Just order a small drink and you're in. I personally prefer a good old Shirley Temple myself. But be wary... the Depression soon looms near.
Signed..."
"And it's that same S with horns and tail." Tricia blinked.
Applejack blinked as she said, "So... just go inside then?"
"Indeed." Rainbow nodded as the ponies and MSTers went inside.
Inside was a lone bartender as he was swirling his mustache. "What can I get you all?"
"Okay, let's go through this..." Twilight said. "The mysterious villain prefers a Shirley Temple... so, order a small Shirley Temple... and the Depression... what is the Depression..."
Joel snapped his fingers. "The Great Depression! Sir, what year is this?"
"October 29th, 1929, I do believe." The bartender smiled. "Why do you ask."
"No reason." Twilight said as she sat down. "One small Shirley Temple, please."
"Coming right up..." The bartender smiled as he started mixing up the Shirley Temple.
Everyone then turned towards the radio as they heard the news. "...as the battle of the Anti-Christ and the Second Coming of God rages on, let us now go to the stock market! It seems prices are going pretty... pretty... wait a minute... something's wrong! It's dropping, dropping! It's going down the charts, folks! I can't believe it! The stock market is going down so low! I have never seen it so low!"
The bartender, hearing this, gave the Shirley Temple to Twilight as she drank it. "Oh, this is terrible, folks! What's that? I'm getting word that all of a sudden, some animation studios are feeling wormholes surrounding the area... as if the worlds that are drawn on paper may be coming to li-!"
"This is bad..." The bartender sighed as he switched off the radio.
"How's that?" Rarity asked.
"This bar used to be the cheapest thing... but if it's true about the stock market... we may have to raise the price..." The bartender sighed as he looked at the small crown he was holding. "This lucky charm has proven not to be so lucky after all... if you need me, I'll be in the corner... moping..."
The bartender then threw the crown right at Twilight as Twilight smiled. "Okay... Element of Magic... got!"
The next portal then opened up as the others looked at each other... then nodded as they walked right inside...
The next place they entered in seemed to be covered in blood and guts as everyone was grossed out.
"Eww..." Gypsy shuddered.
"What is this place?" Tom Servo shuddered.
"I shudder to think about what could cause this mess of blood..." Rarity gagged.
Tricia then noticed another note as she picked it up. "Another note..."
"Dear MSTers and ponies...
Your next Element, the Element of Loyalty, is inside one of these blood and guts of people that I personally murdered. I know, I know, I'm a very busy demon-girl. But good luck finding the one... personally, I think it might be one of the Ms of the Bible... not Matthew, but... oh, if only you know it!
Signed..."
"Of course, S with horns and tail." Tricia read.
"Dig through the blood and guts of what?" Rarity gagged. "That is repulsive!"
"Well... the Element of Loyalty is my element... I better... find whoever this M is..." Rainbow sighed. "What the heck is a Bible?"
"Oh, it must be related to a religion!" Mike smiled. "I took a little Sunday school... and I believe I know the four people of the Bible... Matthew, Mark, Luke and John!"
"So, I have to find a person named 'Mark'?" Rainbow gagged. "Or at least, his guts?"
"Pretty much..." Pinkie said as Applejack nodded.
Rainbow groaned as she dived in. "Okay, watch me do this in ten seconds..."
Rainbow quickly started swimming around in the blood, looking for her element... until she found what seemed to be something stuck in a gut. Rainbow started pushing it all the way out... as the Element of Loyalty popped out.
"Hmmm... ten seconds exactly. Not bad." Joel said, looking at the watch.
"Well, there's the next portal..." Applejack said as she pointed over to the next one. "Shall we go?"
The others nodded as they just started to walk right inside.
Over at the next level, the bots, humans and ponies walked right in a small city as they looked around.
"What's this one?" Joel asked as Tricia found the next note.
"Dear MSTers and ponies...
You did pretty good thus far... but let's see you push your limits. Your next Element, the Element of Generosity, is located in this nice building... at least, as nice as I remember it... I can still remember my friend Marcie still living in that nice building... but what do I know?
Signed..."
"S with horns and tail." Tricia sighed.
"Okay, that's simple then." Rarity smiled as she walked right in, the others following. "Hello?"
The others blinked as they saw an old woman sighing as she looked out the window. Rarity blinked. "Hello?"
"Such a nice day, isn't it?" The old woman sighed.
"Uh... yeah." Rainbow said.
"I still remember those days... she used to be my good friend... but fate had her be the Anti-Christ of Earth..." the old woman sighed, "If only she were a little nicer... but alas, she is the devil's daughter... and nobody wants to be friends with her... I do quite feel sorry for her, in a way... I want to find peace... and yet, no matter where I go, or what people she torments, I have to find a way to stop her..."
The ponies, bots and humans looked at each other.
"Uh... cool story, sister!" Tom smiled nervously.
"Yeah..." Rarity said nervously as she took her element. "I'm just going to take this and we're going to go, okay?"
"Be cautious of her. You may think she's simple and trapped... but she can strike you at any time." the old woman sighed. "She's grown quite accustomed to the religion we made up... and so have I..."
"Bye, crazy lady!" Crow said as the others walked right to the next portal.
The next portal was a room full of monitors as the bots, ponies and humans walked right in. Spike, who had been keeping silent the whole time, then asked, "Is it me, or does some of it make little to no sense?"
"Who knows anymore..." Tricia said as she reached the next note.
"Dear MSTers and ponies...
I can see you made some good relations with an... I suppose you might say an 'old friend' since childhood... if I ever did get out of nine years old. Seriously, fuck my immortality! Though, it does come with an upside of killing people, so don't fuck it. Anyway, your next elements, Honesty and Kindness... are standing right in front of you. Feel free to take them as you wish... but be sure to take time to turn on the monitors and check them out!
Signed..."
"I'm not going to bother, it's the same signature..." Tricia sighed as Applejack and Fluttershy took their elements off their hands.
"Should we go ahead?" Mike asked.
"I guess we might as well..." Twilight said as she switched on the monitors.
On every monitor lied every world ever created... be it show creators' works and fanfiction writers' dimensions all around.
"Whoa..." Mike said as everyone started to look around.
"Hey, guys, look over at that one screen! Isn't that us?" Crow asked as Mike, Joel, Tom, Gypsy and Cambot gathered around on one monitor.
Indeed, on the monitor was another Mike, Tom, Crow, Joel, Gypsy and Cambot talking with each other as they were touring what seemed to be a studio.
"Hey, are we in the Warner Bros. studios?" Tom asked as he watched the others just laughing. "Cool!"
"Hmmm..." Mike paused as he watched the versions of them in the monitor talking with four kids. "Aren't those cartoon kids from that one show... it was some sort of history parody show..."
"Histeria?" Crow asked.
"Yeah, that was it!" Mike snapped his fingers. "Man, I missed that show..."
"Cool..." Twilight said as she was looking at the monitor, seeing a version of herself talking with a brown pony with a Triforce mark symbol on his flank. "I wonder who that stallion is..."
"Eh, probably none too important..." Pinkie shrugged. "But what is this anyway?"
"These must be all links to other dimensions... and other worlds..." Tricia said, pointing out the names. "Some are made by the same guy, others are new and make their own dimensional variants of worlds... even daring to crossover at one point."
"This is heavy..." Applejack said.
"You said it..." Fluttershy sighed as the next portal opened.
"Well, we better get going... our last element should be inside..." Pinkie said seriously as the others nodded, leaving outside as the monitors shut down.
The last room just had a chair and a big monitor... but obviously, someone was sitting inside that big chair as the ponies, bots and humans walked in.
"So, you have indeed made it this far. I would applaud you, but let's face it, I'd have to make some effort." A female voice was heard.
"Cut the crap!" Tricia muttered. "Who are you, anyway?"
"Well, in case you didn't get the hints... I'm obviously, how did my friend Marcie put it, the Anti-Christ?" The female voice explained.
"If you're the Anti-Christ... does that mean Rapture is among all of us?" Tom asked. "What'll happen to us?"
"Oh relax. Rapture's not going to happen, at least, as long as Marcie still lives. I mean, the world ending in 2012 hasn't happened, so why do you think that's going to be an issue?" The female voice frowned.
"Just... just why exactly did you take our Elements, the ones we need to save Equestria and the robots' world from fusing?" Twilight asked.
"Like I explained, it was merely to test you... to see how far you'd go... unfortunately, you all... aren't quite the people that either myself OR Marcie would be looking for... pity, really. I was hoping to add a little more of my... I guess you can say army..." The female voice explained.
"A devilish army? Forget it!" Rainbow frowned.
"Hey, just because I'm treated as the 'Evil One' doesn't necessarily mean I am all that... though I can be... in this case... I'm not... I'm just simply going to... give you the last Element..." The female voice explained as she turned her chair around and tossed the Element of Laughter right to Pinkie, who caught it in her mouth.
"Wait... you're a little kid..." Twilight blinked. "Why do you have an adult voice?"
"It's... it's complicated." The little kid just shrugged. "Look, you got your elements, you can all leave at any time..."
"Wait, that's it? No battle or nothing?" Rainbow frowned.
"No battle. Let's face it, I don't really have the effort or time to make a battle for each of you... besides, I have my own worries to worry about as it is. I merely did the Fusing in the first place to test it out... but I can see there were quite a few glitches..."
"So wait, the reason the Fusing happened is because... you glitched our worlds?" Twilight blinked.
"It would be a good devilish thing of me to do, but it was honestly an accident on my end. Look, I got my own problems as it is... you passed the test, you got your Elements back... now I'm going to request one thing to you... mosey back to Equestria... use the Elements... and world balance should be restored..." The little girl explained.
"And... you're not going to kill us?" Mike asked.
"Oh, I'll find a way to kill you... just not today." The girl sighed. "Just be wary... once you exit out of my dimension... there's no way back in... unless you talk with Marcie, and even then... there's no way she'd remember..."
"Uh... right..." Mike said as the others started to go. "Say... who are you, anyway?"
"People call me many things... but you may personally call me... Solara." The little girl sighed as the portal opened up. "Now come on, out you all go... your worlds may explode any minute now."
"Oh... okay, then." Twilight nodded as she turned. "Come on, everyone!"
"See you later, Solara!" Crow called. "Hope everything works out!"
"I'm sure it will... I'm sure it will." Solara chuckled a bit as the others started running out.
As Solara closed the portal behind them, she sighed as she turned back to the screen, as she noticed the old woman up on the monitor. "Hello, Marcie. Saw the whole thing, huh?"
"Indeed." Marcie nodded. "I'm surprised you decided to just let them off, like that."
"Eh." Solara shrugged. "I've got my own worries at the moment... but hopefully they can fix up that error I made... Marc, you want to check and make sure they do?"
Marcie looked at her watch and gave a warm smile. "I do believe they are about to do just that..."
"Good." Solara sighed as she took a deep breath. "Well... I better get back to watching some TV... I heard that 'Defiance' is getting pretty hot..."
"Hmmm... may as well check it out..." Marcie smiled as the phone hung up.
Solara then pulled out a soda as she started to slurp from it. "Good luck to all of you out there... every single one of you..."
Discord, Celestia and Luna were waiting as the portal opened up and the ponies, Spike, humans and robots popped out.
"So, did you find the main villain behind it?" Luna asked.
"Yeah... turns out, she didn't mean for the Fusing to happen, it was a technical error on her end." Rainbow said. "She was still pretty creepy and still pretty evil, though."
"Well, it doesn't matter... the sooner we cure the Fusing, the sooner we can forget that girl and never mention her again." Twilight said.
"Okay, what do we do now?" Mike asked.
"Let's get to the highest point in the castle." Celestia said. "We can cure the Fusing from there!"
Everyone nodded as they started to go up to the top of the castle.
The group reach the top of the castle. The whole city begins to shake rapidly like mad.
"The Fusing is close to an end." Luna said seriously. "We must hurry."
The group reaches the top, gasping in alarm, seeing a big red ring coming closer. Tricia spoke, "Okay, so what shall we do?"
"Girls, put the Elements on. Hopefully they will do the rest from there." Celestia said to the Mane Six. The girls nodded as they put the Elements on themselves. "Now concentrate."
"Wait, hang on. When the Fusing is over, how do we know we will remember all this when it's over?" Mike ask the ponies in concern.
"Mike got a point for once." Tom Servo said, getting concerned. "I want this over as the last robot but what if we ended up forgetting you guys, huh?"
"I don't wanna forget my new friends! You guys are sooooo cute!" Crow sobs a bit.
"I know, I know. But what if we don't do it?" Twilight ask her friends seriously. "The Fusing will destroy what's left of what we know."
"Yeah, even if we do forget, we still remember y'all in our hearts." Applejack said in agreement.
"Besides, I wouldn't wanna forget you lunkheads even if I wanna." Rainbow remarks with a mischievous smirk.
"Hey, what's that supposed to mean?" Mike ask Rainbow, suspicious by that.
"Never mind the details. Let's hurry, my little ponies." Celestia advises the Mane Six.
Soon the Elements glows as the girls begin to rise up, glowing a bit. Everyone else watches in awe.
"Awwwwww...." The others said with a smiles at this.
I said 'awe'. A-W-E.
"Ooooooooh." The others said, correcting themselves.
That's better. The girls begins to glow a bit as Twilight's eyes. The whole area begins to glow as a wave begins going against the fusing one.
"Is it working?" Gypsy ask, wondering if the whole thing is working.
"We will see in a moment." Tricia said with a nod.
Both waves are fighting, trying to outdo one another. For a moment, it looks like the Fusing one is about to win, about to overpower the rest of the world....
But as luck would have it, the friendship one begins to overpower the Fusing...until it evaporates!
"All right, yahoo!" The robots cheers on wildly as the Mane Six's wave begins to continue its way.
"Oh yeah, those are my girls!" Spike exclaims proudly.
"And here comes the boom!" Joel comments. It's true, the friendship continues flashing all over the world...
When all is clear, the ones watching saw the girls landing gently on their feet. They groan, getting up as they recover from their experience.
"Wow...been a long time since we've done that." Rainbow said with a light chuckle.
"You did it, girls, you did it!" Spike laughs as he hugs Twilight. "Look!"
"Indeed." Luna said as everyone saw everything changing back to normal. "Our worlds are no longer fusing. Things are returning back to normal."
Throughout Equestria, the creatures and folks from the MST3K guys' worlds and movies disappear from sight, even the heroes' allies are disappearing, returning to their films. Even Zapp and Troy are disappearing, returning to "The Final Sacrifice".
"Equestria is back to normal!" Fluttershy exclaims happily.
"Finally, an' maybe Twilight would..." Applejack said as she turns....while frowning. "What 'de hay?"
The ponies, humans and robots look surprised as Twilight and Celestia nuzzled each other a bit lovingly, but stop upon seeing everyone else giving them odd looks.
"Twilight, Celestia, the fusing is over." Joel said in concern to the two mares. "You don't have to be lesbian ponies anymore."
"Oh, that wasn't part of the fusing. I just love my teacher." Twilight said, giving a blush.
"Awkward." The robots said awkwardly, moving back a bit.
"Awww, how cute!" Pinkie giggles in awe. "It's not often in Jus's AU fics that he paired you two up."
"Errr, well, hey, I believe it's all over now!" Celestia said blushing a bit, changing the subject from this matter. "Uh, thank you all for saving the worlds, everything is back to normal..."
"Except for a hole in the sky upward." Luna said seriously as she notes something in the sky.
Everyone looks up to see a big hole in the sky, leaving through some sort of wormhole. Tricia ask in concern, "So what the hell is that wormhole doing up there? I thought it's all over!"
"Oh it is...once that wormhole closes, then it's all over...and you humans and robots must be in it by the time it does." Celestia said, getting the attention of everyone.
"Huh?" Most of everyone ask in surprise.
"Yes. It's time for the crew of the Satellite of Love to return to their own universe...because if they stay here when that wormhole closes, then they will be stuck here forever."
"Oh, I don't know." Mike said thoughtfully. "I kinda like it here in Equestria..."
"But colorable horses? Crazy Dragons? NO CABLE TV!" The robots cries out in worry, fearing the problems that this world has for them. "We wanna go home!"
"And what's wrong with colorful ponies?" Rarity ask the robots skeptically.
"Nothing...except it gets boring." Crow remarks to Rarity with a shrug.
"Nothing personal, we like you girls but we wanna go home, where we just heckle movies and TV shows and get paid for it." Tom Servo admits to the ponies. "We missed our job at Rifftrax."
"Yeah, and I don't it's wise that Mrs. Forrester and her cronies will be here. We oughta take them back to our world and dumped them off where they won't caught any trouble." Joel said in agreement. The bad guys that helped make this mess worst must not be allowed to stay in Equestria.
"But what about the Nanites?" Mike ask the others, pointing out a problem. "They are still on..."
"Mike, the Nanites' vacations should be done by now." Gypsy remarks to Mike with a chuckle. "They should be back and when they do, we will get them to get the ship fixed up."
"Okay, well, let's go fetch the baddies."
Discord appears, giving out a sheepish smile. Luna, noticing this, frowns as she ask, "Problems, Discord?"
"Well, good news and bad news. The bad news is that..." Discord begins to say, giving out the bad news first knowing that he's in big trouble.
"Ugh, don't tell me! They escaped? How?"
"One of them, the monkey fellow, said they needed to use the bathroom. I simply open the door...and they ran over me. Don't kill me!"
"Twilight, you and your friends put the Elements of Harmony back into the Tree as well as get that ship fixed up." Celestia advised her lov....err, I mean fellow princess on what to do. "We will find the escaped fugitives."
"On our way, princess!" Twilight exclaims, saluting the princess while giving out a secret wink.
"Get a fucking room, you two!" Tricia groans, making the others groans or laugh at that.
----------------
Luckily the Tree of Harmony was magically restored to its original location in Equestria so the Mane Six have no problem in returning the Elements there. Upon returning to the Friendship Rainbow Kingdom castle, the Nanites, returning from their vacation, are back at work, fixing up the satellite.
During the waiting progress, the robots watch a show on their little TV that is somewhat based on the world Equestria called "My Little Heroines" which shows a class in session with Rika Rat passing a note to Dani and the Possible Twins with her friend Joan Bunny helping out.
June sees Rika Rat and Joan Bunny trying to pass the Possible Twins a 'note'. The teacher frowns as she said, "I see that, Miss Rat and Miss Bunny! I told you before not to try stuff like that just to get other kids in trouble." June knew that Rika and Joan has one bad habit: making fun of the other kids, especially the Possible Twins and Dani! The teacher takes and opens up the attempted passed paper. "Hey. This is blank."
"Yeah. As blank as the Possible Twins' palms." Rika sneers cruelly to the Possible Twins with Joan joining in on the laughter. Those two girls are snobs and always make fun of the two and Dani. Why? Because not one of them got their talent marks...and the bullies do!
"Now, that is ENOUGH. I will not stand for any student being ridiculed in my school. I warned you two before and you didn't listen. Maybe three straight weeks of triple-afterschool detention, three straight Saturday detentions, a few stern words from your fathers after they finds out AND a year of mandatory daily visits to the school counselor will teach you to curb the bullying."
"But my Talent Mark Celebration Party -" Rika begins to protest in shock by this.
"She'll have to postpone it for AT LEAST a month." Joan said in agreement. The kids got a party planned to celebrate Rika and Joan getting their Talent Marks! They will have to postpone it now!
"Well, you should have thought of that BEFORE you started bullying other kids. As I said, when it comes to bullying, I have a strict-but-fair 'no-tolerance' policy." June said sternly. No excuses, there is no bullying allowed in her classroom!
"So any reports?" Joel ask Twilight on any reports on Pearl and her goons.
Twilight sighs, "Well, we managed to recover the Elements of Harmony and returned them to the Tree, but Pearl and her cronies got away in a rocket that looks like a giant -"
-----------
"Male-reproductive organ." A teacher said, giving out a lesson to a class. "Also known by many nicknames, including -"
--------------
"Weiner?" A dad Minotaur calls out to his kids as he is barbecuing wieners on a grill in a park. "Any of you kids want another weiner?"
"I do, Dad!" The son said as he is given a weiner.
"Here you go son."
A daughter Minotaur is looking up as Pearl's rocket is trying to exit Equestria via a dimensional warp. She points while asking, "Dad, what is that?"
The dad, looking, answers in disbelief, "I don't know, but it looks like one big -"
------------------------
"Package for you, ma'am." Muffins AKA Derpy said as she delivers a package to Cheerilee.
"Thank you, Muffin." Cheerilee said as she took the package. She looks up and gasps, "What is that?!"
"That looks like the Doctor's -"
--------
"One-eyed monster! Step right up and see the one-eyed monster!" Flim exclaims. He and his brother Flam is hosting a circus as they are introducing the one eyed monster, AKA a Cyclops.
The cyclops bursts out of the circus tent, roaring before looking up. He said in surprise, "Hey, that likes just like an enormous-"
------------
Discord, pausing the scene on his own TV, groans out, "Dicks!"
"Dicks, Discord?" Celestia ask, arching an eyebrow at what Discord just said.
"Yeah, the authors are just stinking Dicks."
"What do you mean?" Luna ask Discord, wondering what her friend is talking about.
Discord rolling his eyes as he scowls, "I mean, they just ripped off a joke from two of the Austin Powers movies."
Celestia and Luna look at each other in bewilderment. Then the Princess of the Sun turns back to Discord, asking, "What joke?"
"You know, the joke about the long-smooth rocket that looks like some guy's -"
----------
"Privates! We got word of an unidentified flying object!" Starfire calls out to her troops, preparing her Wonderbolts for an assault. Soarin' whispers something in her ear. "Never mind! The Princesses and Discord already took care of it."
-----------
"No, stop, have mercy, have mercy!" Pearl screams out as she and her men are in the remains of their destroyed rockets. The princesses and Discord have already shot it down and are capturing them.
"Ugh, sometimes I miss Clay, you know?" Dr. Erhardt groans a bit as the fugitives are captured once more.
"On the plus side, it was good while it lasted!" TV's Frank exclaims happily.
--------------
"Well, I guess this is where we part ways, then." Tom said as everybody went back in the ship.
"Indeed." Crow nodded.
"It was great meeting you all." Twilight smiled.
"Yeah, I guess it's time to go." Mike smiled.
There was a brief moment of silence.
"Um, isn't anybody going to address that rant?" Tricia asked.
"What rant?" Joel asked.
"That rant, the one you, Twilight and Mike made in Chapter 4!" Tricia frowned. "Isn't that going to be addressed?"
"Why would we do that?" Mike asked.
"You guys spent a long rant about how useless I was, and we aren't going to address it?" Tricia said in shock. "How anti-climatic!"
"Hey, don't feel down." Twilight said. "After all, you did help us out."
"I guess that's tr-" Tricia started before Pinkie pushed them into the ship.
"Well, it's been fun, see ya!" Pinkie waved.
Everybody else waved as the rocket started to go in the wormhole. At least it was nice to meet new faces...
------------------
Meanwhile, back in Solara's dimension, Solara gave a nod as she turned off the Pony dimension screen off. "One crisis averted. Shame. I was starting to enjoy the destruction..."
She then noticed a light blinking. "Back to work, I suppose... Looks like the Total Drama-Verse needs a wake-up call..."
Solara laughed evilly as the screen faded to black...
