> Incursions > by Blondlionezel > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1 - Another Earth > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twilight Sparkle had seen it all. She'd seen horrible things, such as a purple creature invading Equestria, the three other princesses dying before her eyes, and all life dying in one single second... "Wake up!" Spike tried to wake up Twilight Sparkle, "You're going to be late for the big meeting!" "The one with Mayor Mare?" Twilight Sparkle yawned as she got out of bed. Twilight Sparkle remembered that her conference on spending and debts in Ponyville with Mayor Mare was today. To most people, this would be considered the most boring thing ever, but to her, it was fairly fun. All of that math made her smile. "Did you hear that EASA found some new star near us?" Spike asked Twilight Sparkle, making her bed. EASA stood for Equestrian Aeronautics and Space Association, and was run by Princess Luna, ruler of the moon. She enjoyed looking thorough the sea of stars and into the never-ending vacuum of space. They would only announce big finds, which this seemed like. "Yeah, it's Earth-sized, but it's probably no big deal..." Twilight Sparkle responded tiredly as she went to get dressed. "Well, you know it's moving right?" Spike informed Twilight Sparkle. Twilight Sparkles eyes widened as she rushed out of her house and straight to the train station. "Hey!" Pinkie Pie stopped Twilight Sparkle, "What's going on?" "I have to go to Canterlot right now!" Twilight Sparkle answered as she ran to the station and boarded the train straight to Canterlot. A few hours later, Twilight Sparkle had reached Princess Celestia's castle gates. When the guards let her in, she was approached by the Royal Sisters, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. They had the typical emotionless princess-face, which meant that something bad had happened or was going to happen. "Twilight Sparkle, have you heard about the star moving towards Equestria?" Princess Celestia quietly asked Twilight Sparkle. "Yes, Spike informed me" Twilight Sparkle answered. "My forces on the moon have informed us that this star might not be a star, but a meteorite the size of Earth" Princess Luna told the two. "A meteorite? But those haven't been to Earth since a very long time ago, why would one be coming here now?" Princess Celestia asked. "I don't know..." Princess Luna fearfully responded. This was new. Normally, the Princesses would never show an ounce of fear, no matter how bad the situation got. Even when Tirek invaded, even when Queen Chrysalis invaded, the Princesses didn't even flinch. But this might not be able to be stopped. This could probably destroy Earth and life as we know it. "Should we announce this to the public?" Princess Luna asked. "No!" Princess Celestia shouted, "We must make sure no one finds out..." "But they will find out, I mean, It's heading towards Earth, it's inevitable" Princess Luna retorted, "What do we tell them when it eventually hits Earth?" "I don't know..." Princess Celestia sighed, shedding a single tear. "Celestia..." Twilight Sparkle put her hoof on her shoulder, trying to comfort her. "I'm alright...it's just...nothing this catastrophic has been since Discord took over Equestria" Princess Celestia sighed. She then turned to Twilight Sparkle with an uneasy smile. "Maybe there's something can do...maybe use cannonballs?" Twilight Sparkle suggested, "Maybe use giant metal discs? Or maybe we could move Earth out of it's path, or-" "No...just go back to Ponyville and spend time with loved ones..." Princess Celestia interrupted Twilight Sparkle with small tears in her eyes. That was another thing that Princesses wouldn't do, as it made them look weak, though I wouldn't think that anyone found a show of emotions weak. In a way, it made them more relate-able to regular ponies, but maybe that's why they don't? They don't want to seem like the rest of us. They want to be role models. Twilight Sparkle first stopped at her parents house, and spent some time with them. She told them about some of her new friends and adventures in Ponyville. She then went to visit her older brother, Shining Armor as well as his wife, Princess Cadance. They had tea and laughed about good memories. After she finished spending time with family, she decided to spend some time with her friends. A few hours later, Twilight Sparkle had returned to Ponyville with her head hung low. As soon as she stepped outside, she noticed that all of the residents of Ponyville were gone. She checked their houses, and no one was home. No one was at the bakery, no one was the boutique, and no one was at the town hall. She then walked over to Sweet Apple Acres, noticed that every was crowding around at a meadow. She saw her six friends, along with every other Citizen of Ponyville. Twilight Sparkle walked over to Rainbow Dash, who was also watching whatever was happening in the sky. "What's going on?" Twilight Sparkle asked her friend. "Look up..." Rainbow Dash whispered in pure fear. She moved Twilight Sparkle's head up, and what she saw shocked her. It was another Earth, the same size as this one, with the same blue oceans, the same green continents though they looked slightly different and there were more of them, and the same white clouds in its skies, and it even had it's own Moon. It seemed to stay right next to the Earth the ponies were standing on, but still moving slower than before. Twilight Sparkle's eyes widened, as it was worse then she thought, and new questions popped into her head. What was this new Earth? Why was it here? Would it crash into this Earth? What strange creatures would they encounter? All they knew for sure was that they weren't alone anymore... (To Be Continued) > Chapter 2 - Strange Beings > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twilight Sparkle stared at the second Earth in disbelief. Applejack almost passed out, while Rarity did pass out. Fluttershy screamed in horror, while Rainbow Dash stood wide-eyed, and Pinkie Pie was jumping around. The group stared at her. "How could you be so happy at a time like this?!" Rainbow Dash questioned Pinkie Pie harshly. "Oh! Because a second Earth means twice the parties!" Pinkie Pie answered, "And twice the destruction!" "Okay...maybe there's other ponies on that Earth?" Twilight Sparkle thought out loud. She hoped that on this planet that maybe there was someone she could relate to. As if her thoughts were negatively answered, a bird-like vehicle could be seen descending from the second Earth. It was large, grey, and shaped like a bird stretching out its mighty, steel wings. It had a beak-like cockpit, along with a pair of fins on the back. It was as if some predatory bird had begun its flight between the two earths. "What do you think that is?" Applejack asked Rainbow Dash. "Beats me..." Rainbow Dash answered. "Maybe it's a giant death-bird!" Pinkie Pie suggested. Both Applejack and Rainbow Dash facepalmed as a second metal-bird vehicle followed the first one. "Maybe it's... aliens?" Fluttershy fearfully added. As soon as Fluttershy finished her sentence, the two metal-bird vehicles landed in a field near the groups. The ponies then began a mad gallop to the vehicles to find out what lay inside of them. Aliens? Other ponies? Or something stranger? As the backside of the metal-bird vehicle opened up, a two-legged, two armed being with blonde hair and blue eyes, wearing a blue, red, and white outfit along with a red, white, and blue with a white star shield walked out of the vehicle. The group quickly separated and scattered to hide in bushes to watch what unfolds. They didn't want to end up alien-chow, or worse, an experiment being opened up on some gross table. "What is this place?" The strange being asked, looking around for any signs of life. "Some place called Equestria, Cap!" A man in a red and gold robotic armor with a glowing blue core in his chest, along with a red and gold head-mask answered. "Cap...he must be a Captain...but of what?" Twilight Sparkle inferred. Suddenly, Pinkie Pie slipped and cracked a branch, which got the two beings attention. "What was that?" Cap questioned, looking around. Another being, this time a red and blue full-body outfit with a web-like pattern all over it stepped out, along with a different being with a blue, red, and yellow outfit, with a round chest and a strange, star-like symbol on it. The second vehicle also opened up, revealing a scrawny man in lab-wear, along with a man with blond hair, viking-esque armor, a red cape, and carrying a medieval hammer. "All right, we need to explore" The man in the robotic armor told the group, "Captain America, Spider-Man and I go talk to the those beings, Captain Marvel, Bruce Banner, and Thor will scout out the area" "Roger that" Captain America understood, as he and Spider-Man walked slowly to the bushes. Thor, Captain Marvel, and Bruce Banner began to look over the area. "Maybe it's other people?" Spider-Man reckoned as they approached the bushes. "Maybe it's magical ponies?" Captain America speculated. "As Iron Man, I bet you $3 that it's not" Iron Man bet. As if something stupid was compelling her, Pinkie Pie jumped out of the bush and waved at the gaudily-dressed group, but Rainbow Dash and Applejack pulled her back down into the bushes. "What was that all about?!" Rainbow Dash whispered angrily. Pinkie Pie looked around, looked down, looked up, and then smiled. "I wanted Iron Man to win the bet!!" Pinkie Pie giggled. Applejack and Rainbow Dash facepalmed again. "Did you see that?" Captain America asked Iron-Man and Spider-Man, "It's a magical pony!" "Oh my gosh..." Spider-Man gasped as Iron-Man handed Captain America his $3. "I'll try to talk to it, I can speak to horses!" Iron-Man told the group as he walked over to the bush. "Really?" Captain America questioned Iron-Man, raising an eyebrow. "Of course!" Iron Man responded, flexing his muscles "I can do anything! "What's it going to do?" Twilight Sparkle shook in fear. "Neigh! Neigh!" Iron-Man imitated a horse, "Whiny! Whiny!" As if the nerves of the ponies had been lost, they all began to laugh and chuckle. They knew that horses didn't make those sounds, they spoke in English! "And now I feel like an idiot..." Iron Man sighed as Spider-Man and Captain America walked towards the ponies, who began to show themselves. "Who and what are you?" Captain America asked the ponies. Twilight Sparkle stepped forwards looked at Captain America. "My name is Twilight Sparkle, how do you do?" Twilight Sparkle introduced herself, putting her hoof out for a hoofshake. "My name is Steve Rogers, aka Captain America, and I'm doing alright" Captain America put out his hand and they handshaked as the pony crowd cheered. However, many miles away from Equestria, in the Everfree Forest, a large, muscular, purple being was looking over the sights, along with his Black Order. "We just finished raiding that Zebras house..." Proxima Midnight, an alien woman with blue skin, black armor, and a golden spear informed her master. Corvus Glaive, a skeleton alien in a black cloak, carrying a sword, was roasting some zebra. "Well..." The purple alien smiled, "I shall destroy this world, if my name isn't Thanos!" (To Be Continued) > Chapter 3 - Intertwined Species > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twilight Sparkle, Captain America, Spider-Man, and Iron-Man approached the Canterlot Castle gates, not sure of what Princess Celestia would think of these...guests. A pair of guards opened up the gates, and the group walked into the castle, where Princess Celestia awaited for her favorite student and three human guests. "Welcome to Equestria, humans" Princess Celestia greeted the three men. "How do you know what we are?" Spider-Man asked Princess Celestia. "Our wizard, who was named Starswirl the Bearded, traveled to the human world once" Princess Celestia answered. "That reminds me of a TV show called My Pretty Pony back in 84'" Iron-Man told the group, "It's a show about a pony who befriends two kids and they have girly adventures-" "How do you know about this show?" Twilight Sparkle asked Iron-Man. "Well...uh..." Iron-Man blushed in embarrassment "My...uh...sister...watched it..." "Just keep telling yourself that" Spider-Man thought to himself. "That sounds the dumbest, most girly thing ever..." Princess Celestia sighed, "Anyways, do you three have any information on why these two planets are colliding?" "We're just as clueless, your highness" Spider-Man informed Princess Celestia. "What does that mean?" Twilight Sparkle asked. "Well, we've predicted that in about two days, both worlds will collide with each other" Iron-Man answered grimly. The guards gasped, as they ran out of the building. "There has to be something we can do..." Princess Celestia told the group, "Twilight Sparkle, Spider-Man, I want you two to find some way to fix all of this" "Sounds cool to me" Spider-Man acknowledged Princess Celestia. A few hours later, Spider-Man, now Peter Parker, was working with Twilight Sparkle to find a solution. Together they ran through hundreds of different solutions. "Hm...maybe we could use a gravity beam?" Peter Parker suggested. "We don't have the technology" Twilight Sparkle shot down the idea, "Maybe we could try to shrink one of the planets?" "We don't have enough Pym Particles to do that..." Peter Parker informed Twilight Sparkle. Twilight Sparkle teared up and put her face on the table in a combination of sadness and frustration. Peter Parker put her hand her Twilight Sparkle's back, comforting her. "Don't worry, we'll find a way to stop our two worlds from colliding, we have infinite ideas" Peter Parker hugged Twilight Sparkle. "Yeah, the two of us have could make ideas, more ideas then infinity!" Twilight Sparkle cheered. "Infinity...Infinity...the Infinity Gauntlet!" Peter Parker exclaimed. "What's that?" Twilight Sparkle asked. "Six Infinity Gems can be used to do practically anything!" Peter Parker explained. "That sounds like the Elements of Harmony..." Twilight Sparkle told Peter Parker, "We could use them both!" "But we need to find them first..." Peter Parker sighed. Meanwhile, back in Ponyville, Bruce Banner was trying on some clothes made by Rarity. He tried on regular white dresses to strange, Victorian dresses. "You look so ridiculous with those clothes!" Rarity giggled along with Bruce Banner, who was standing like a horse. Thor was busy showing off some lightning tricks for a birthday party run by Pinkie Pie, and Captain Marvel was talking to the CMC, which consisted of Sweetie Belle, Rarity's younger sister, Applebloom, Applejack's younger sister, and Scootaloo, Rainbow Dashes "sister". "You girls can strive to be anything you want" Captain Marvel told the CMC, smiling. "Can we be big shot heroes like you?" Applebloom asked Captain Marvel. "Of course!" Captain Marvel answered joyfully, "We need more super heroines in the world!" "Yay! Cutie Mark Crusader Super Heroines!" Sweetie Belle, Applebloom, and Scootaloo chanted as they ran off, worshiping their new idol. Everything seemed to be...peaceful. However, the sounds of cracking and breaking could be heard outside of Ponyville. Many pony citizens gathered around the noises, as a large, blue portal opened up. The pony civilians stared in disbelief as the portal began to spark, as a large Chitauri Leviathan came through the portal, charging at the pony civilians. Suddenly, dark clouds began to develop over the Chitauri Leviathan, and a giant bolt of thunder struck it, killing by electrocution. The Mighty Thor stood upon his dead trophy and raised Mjolnir in victory. "Hooray! Three cheers for Thor!" The Civilians of Ponyville cheered. However, their cheers were short-lived, as more portals opened up, unleashing more Chitauri Leviathans, along with Chitauri ground troops began to charge through the portal. Thor slammed Mjolnir on the ground, striking down as many Chitauri ground troops as possible. "What're we going to do?!?!" Rarity screamed at Bruce Banner. "I have an idea...make me angry!" Bruce Banner commanded Rarity. "Alright!" Rarity breathed in and out, "You're the ugliest, stupidest, filthiest, ruffian I've ever met!!!" Bruce Banner began to snarl as his skin began to change to green, his clothes began to rip, and his pants ripped and became purple. Bruce Banner was now the Hulk! Thor and Captain Marvel taking shots at the Chitauri ground troops, with lightning and cosmic blasts respectively. As another Chitauri Leviathan appeared from a portal, the Hulk jumped onto it and began to rip it into pieces. "Finally!" Captain Marvel exclaimed, blasting another Chitauri Ground Trooper with a yellow cosmic blast. Meanwhile, back at Princess Celestia's palace, the phone began to ring. Princess Celestia walked over to the phone, and used magic to lift it to her ear. "Yes?" Princess Celestia answered. "WE NEED BACKUP!" Mayor Mare panicked, "NOW!" "Cap, Spidey, Twilight, we're heading back!" Iron Man commanded, "We're getting them some backup!" > Chapter 4 - Raging War > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "HULK SMASH!" The Hulk roared as he smashed a group of Chitauri Ground Troops into the ground, killing them instantly. Thor swung his hammer and threw it at another group of Chitauri Ground Troops, knocking them over like bowling pins. Rainbow Dash tried to knock down as many Chitauri as possible. "Rainbow Dash, get out of here!" Captain Marvel ordered Rainbow Dash. "No way!" Rainbow Dash responded, as she charged at more Chitauri. However, one pulled out an energy rifle, shooting Rainbow Dash down! "NO!" Captain Marvel rushed to the mortally wounded Rainbow Dash. She turned her over pulled her away from the battlefield and into a small building. "Captain...Marvel..." Rainbow Dash coughed weakly, "Go...win...for...us..." "I shall" Captain Marvel teared up as she broke through the building. Captain Marvel was looking straight at a portal, and saw a Chitauri Leviathan. She roared in fury as she blasted her cosmic energy blasts through the portal, destroying the Chitauri reinforcements. "Aye! We do require backup!" Thor commanded, "There hath been too many reinforcements on thy enemy's side!" "I'm trying!" Rarity whined as a dead Chitauri Leviathan crashed onto her. Back at Princess Celestia's palace, Captain America and Iron Man began to prepare for battle. The soldiers began to grab swords and shields, along with war chariots. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna also began to put on armor. "Alright, my little ponies, today we charge into battle!" Princess Celestia rallied her troops. "Ho-Hah!" The soldiers pumped themselves as they charged through the gates to Ponyville. "Spidey, Purple pony, you two need to find a solution!" Iron-Man instructed Spider-Man and Twilight Sparkle, as he flew out, along with Captain America riding a solider. "Peter, we need to find those Infinity Gems!" Twilight Sparkle told Spider-Man, as they began a trek around Equestria. Back at Ponyville, the battle was raging on! Thor, Hulk, and Captain Marvel were ripping through the Chitauri hordes, but they were slowly destroying the town, killing any civilian they could find. "Pinkie! Applejack! Where are you?!" Fluttershy shouted in fear, as a Chitauri sneaked up from behind Fluttershy, and shot her! "NOOOO!" Captain Marvel cried as she blasted the Chitauri into oblivion. "We're losing too many people!" Mayor Mare cried as she hid underneath a desk. Suddenly, a black portal opened in the office, unleashing some Chitauri troops along with Proxima Midnight, with a new dark-matter sword. "Are you here to help?" Mayor Mare cowered from under the desk. "Sure..." Proxima Midnight smiled, as she blasted Mayor Mare and the desk! Captain Marvel began to sweat, starting to tire from the battle, she fell from the sky and into the arms of Iron-Man. Iron-Man smiled as she carried her to the ground. "Everyone's getting tired out too quickly..." Captain Marvel wiped the sweat from her face, "We need reinforcements..." "Well, you've got them!" Iron-Man pointed to the wave of soldiers being lead by Princess Luna and Captain America. "YOU SHALL PAY!" Princess Luna roared as she blasted the Chitauri army into oblivion, though more did come through the portal. Suddenly, a black portal opened, letting loose Corvus Glaive. He charged into the Equestrian Army, and began to destroy soldiers, ripping his way to Princess Luna. Princess Luna blasted Corvus Glaive with her moon blasts, blowing some of armor off, but not killing him. "Foolish horse!" Corvus Glaive roared, "You can't kill me unless you destroy my blade!" "That was foolish!" Princess Luna laughed as Captain America threw his shield at Corvus Glaive's blade, shattering it. "Oh crap..." Corvus Glaive sighed as Princess Luna blasted Corvus Glaive, this time destroying him. "Luna, look out!" Captain America cried out as Princess Luna was slewed by Proxima Midnight. "HULK SMASH!" The Hulk roared as he and Thor began to battle Proxima Midnight. The both took enough swings at Proxima Midnight, she was defeated. "Well...it seems me lackies have failed..." Thanos smiled as he appeared onto the battlefield. "Thanos! Now we're going to finish this!" Captain America cried out as his forces jumped at Thanos. "NOW YOU DIE!" Thanos roared as he punched Captain America into the ground! The Hulk jumped at Thanos, who kicked him in the chest, crushing his heart. Thor threw his hammer at Thanos, knocking him over. "Aye! For I have defeated this threat!" Thor gloated, when suddenly Thanos threw a giant rock at Thor, crushing him. "Victory is mine!" Thanos roared victoriously. "No..." Princess Celestia appeared before Thanos, "I'll stop you, even if I have to destroy myself! Princess Celestia began to glow with a bright light, as her body began to disappear, along with Thanos himself. Thanos tried to grab Princess Celestia, but was unable to even touch her. After thirty seconds, both combatants began to appear, ending the battle. At the Castle, Twilight Sparkle gasped in pain. She sensed Princess Celestia's sacrifice, and Princess Luna's death. Twilight Sparkle began to weep many tears as Peter Parker hugged her. "I'm sorry Twilight, I understand how you-" "How could you understand?!" Twilight Sparkle cried in anger. "My uncle..." Peter Parker tried to hold back tears, "He died because I was irresponsible..." Twiight Sparkle's heart sank. She didn't know that his uncle died, and it was his fault. She wondered how it felt to be almost responsible for your parental figures death? It must be terrible. "Oh...I'm sorry..." Twilight Sparkle sighed sadly. "It's alright...we'll find a way to save everyone, somehow..." Peter Parker hugged Twilight Sparkle hopefully. > Chapter 5 - Final Solution > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Captain America stared at the ruined remains of Ponyville, stained by the large-scale battle. Thousands of Chitauri and Pony troops lay dead around him, each one died at the hands of the other. Captain America began to remember all of it, from storming the beaches at D-Day to the bombing raids in Germany. Captain America shed a tear as the memories began to rush through his mind, like a river flowing into the ocean. "Cap! Cap!" Spider-Man called to Captain America as Twilight Sparkle was carrying a golden hoof-like object. "What's that?" Captain America asked, pointing to the object. "The Infinity Hoof!" Twilight Sparkle answered, "We're going to use the Infinity Gems to stop the planets from smashing into each other!" "That's an excellent idea!" Iron-Man cheered as he landed with Captain Marvel. "But how are going to find them?" Captain Marvel asked, "Also, how do we know that they're on this planet?" "Every universe has their own version of the Infinity Gems and Gauntlet" Spider-Man explained, "So it only makes sense for this world to have their own versions" "The Elements of Harmony!" Twilight Sparkle exclaimed. "Elements of Harmony?" Captain Marvel asked in confusion. "Magic, Honesty, Kindness, Laughter, Generosity, and Loyalty" Twilight Sparkle informed the group, "Which mirror the Six Gems, which are Power, Time, Space, Reality, Mind, and Soul" "Can you also get the Elements of Smiles, Rainbows, Butterflies, and Pixie Sticks?" Iron-Man joked. The group went into awkward silence as Iron-Man chuckled a little. "So...where are these things?" Captain America asked Twilight Sparkle. "They're at my library, well at least they should be..." Twilight Sparkle sighed as she walked over to the ashes of her former library, wrecked by the battle. "Well, let's start digging!" Spider-Man told the group as he began to dig through the ashes. Captain America, Iron-Man, Twilight Sparkle, and Captain Marvel also began to dig through the grey ash, trying to look for a wooden box. "Hey! Is this it?" Captain Marvel asked as she pulled out a wooden box with picture of an Alicorn on it. "Yes!!!" Twilight Sparkle cheered as she picked up the box using Unicorn magic, "Now it's time to save our worlds!" As Twilight Sparkle maneuvered to open the box, a half-alive Chitauri Leviathan arose from the ash and destruction, as if to make things complicated for the group. It lunged at the group, trying to swallow them! Captain America dodged, Iron Man and Captain Marvel flew into the air, and Spider-Man webbed Twilight Sparkle away, along with himself to somewhere safe. "Spidey, Magical purple pony, we'll take care of this thing!" Iron-Man told Spider-Man and Twilight Sparkle. "But you two will be killed!" Spider-Man warned the trio. "Don't worry, even if we die, then at least you two will be able to save these worlds!" Captain Marvel smiled as she, Captain America, and Iron-Man charged at the Chitauri Whale. Twilight Sparkle and Spider-Man began a made dash to somewhere safe, like Canterlot Castle. They got into a train, while Twilight Sparkle looked at the controls. "I don't know how to drive this thing..." Twilight Sparkle sighed as Spider-Man began to press some buttons, and train began to move. "When you're a nerd, you have a lot of spare time" Spider-Man told Twilight Sparkle, chuckling a little. "I understand..." Twilight Sparkle smiled weakly, "Were you picked on a lot in school?" "I was the epitome of the nerd in school" Spider-Man told her, holding some inner sadness. He remembered back to every day, when the jocks and cheerleaders would pick on him. Twilight Sparkle reminded him of a girl he had a crush on named Gwen Stacy. "I definitely was a nerd, but I was never picked on" Twilight Sparkle reflected, thinking of her past. Twilight Sparkle looked up and noticed that the second Earth was now dangerously close to this Earth. "Remember what I said earlier?" Spider-Man reminded Twilight Sparkle, "We'll fix this, together" A few hours later, the two reached the Castle. They ran through the corridors, past statues of Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. Twilight Sparkle looked up they reached the very top of the castle. From that angle, you could easily see the second Earth about to crash into this Earth. "Peter, how much time do we have left?!" Twilight Sparkle panicked. "About...five minutes..." Spider-Man's face went pale as he slumped over. Twilight Sparkle laid the Infinity Hoof on the ground. Twilight Sparkle wasn't the best at expressing her inner feelings, as she tended to keep calm. But today was different. There was nothing she could say, and nothing could do. Twilight Sparkle let the tears run down her face. Tears then turned to sobs as she began to bawl her eyes out. Before she could even finish wiping her tears for new ones to replace them, Spider-Man hugged her tightly. "Even if I die, I want to spend them with you, my friend..." Spider-Man whispered into Twilight Sparkle's ear, embracing her. He took off his mask and threw it aside, so that the two could see each other before their inevitable deaths. "Peter, I lov-" The two plants began to converge, with both of them almost touching, as the Infinity Hoof let off a shock-wave, obliterating both worlds, making everything go dark... "Huh...where am I?" Twilight Sparkle groggily thought to herself. She looked around and noticed that she was in a bed in a small room. Her eyes widened. Was this all a dream? Did none of this ever happen? Twilight Sparkle walked out of her bed and opened the rooms door. What she saw next shocked her, as there was many rooms along the same path, on the left side. And on the right side, there were windows looking down at the ground through the clouds. She also noticed that where she was standing, the whole complex was moving. She looked around as she saw a man walking down the hall with a tag that said "Agent Robert". "Good morning, Agent Sparkle!" Agent Robert greeted Twilight Sparkle. How were there humans in this world? How? Twilight Sparkle walked around a bit more and saw some ponies and some humans, until she reached the middle of this ship-thing. She looked at some signs that identified this ship as a "Helicarrier". To her shock, she noticed Princess Luna monitoring some monitors. Princess Luna then looked down and noticed Twilight Sparkle. "Are you ready for your briefing, Agent Sparkle?" Princess Luna asked Twilight Sparkle. Twilight Sparkle began to process all of this. Princess Luna was now some kind of leader, humans and ponies interacted together, technology was clear and present, and the worlds clearly weren't destroyed. Twilight Sparkle realized that she was at the front of a brave new frontier.
