Her mind was being assaulted by her. Queen Chrysalis, leader of the Anti-Bronies, in her natural form: a black void with only her green hair, green eyes, and her white teeth visable. She had pretended to be Cadence to lure Shining Armor and the other Brony Warriors to leave Equestria, and even leave the planet, to find her among the stars. But the Anti-Bronies apparently needed more information on the Brony Races. Cadence looked at her hands through her pink hair that covered her hands, confirming that there was no way to break free. "This is most upsetting. While I have sealed the Brony Races in the inescapable Multi-Dimensional Labyrinth, it disturbs us that a Brony Race has made it this far. We must know what drives them down the winding Brony path. To do this, we will probe your mind until we have discovered the source of their power." Chrysalis looked emotionless as this blob of a humanoid body spoke. Cadence looked into the Anti-Brony's eyes, as empty as they were. "You can probe my mind all you like, and you still never understand." "We do not need to understand. We only need to know." "Then you will never know! Because I know that he will come for me." "Your faith in your beloved Shining Armor is most admirable, but for naught. He will never escape our trap." As these words were exchanged, the wedding ring on Cadence's finger began to glow blue: blue like Shining's magic. With an explosion of magic, a gunman warped into existence from her ring; Gurren Lagann. A drill flew from its fist and broke her free from her prison. As she fell, she felt the strong gentle hands of Shining Armor catch her. She saw him, and on his face he wore sunglasses in the shape of a pink star: pink from his love for her. "Cadence," he said. "I've come for you." Chrysalis stepped back from surprise. "Impossible! No Brony life form can escape from a Multi-dimensional Labyrinth!"" Shining looked up. "Don't underestimate us! We don't care about hate, or Multi-Dimensional Whatevers! We don't give a damn about any of that!" As he spoke cadence noticed that he wasn't alone. Surrouning them and Chrysalis was the rest of Team Hasbro. Twilight Sparkle was in the cockpit of Gurren, her assistant Spike, her friends Rarity, Apple Jack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy were there. There weas also Vinyl Scratch and her friend Octavia, Trixie, Princess Luna, Zecora, Lyra, Bon-bon, and even Discord, who was once destroyed as the evil Brony King. "Believe in your friends! Trust in them and accept thier flaws! That's the way Team Hasbro rolls!" Each of the members of team Hasbro had a Lagann of their own somehow. Cadence didn't quite care to find out how they got them, all that mattered was that they did. Each one combined, turning Gurren Lagann into Spark Gurren Lagann, then into Super Pony Gurren Lagann, and then finally into something new all together! Something so large that it stood on the very surface of the galaxy! Twilight began speaking. "Even if hate was to consume our soul..." "...the feelings of friendship will open the door..." Rarity and Applejack continued! "...even if the whole universe threw their hate at us..." Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie! "...our desire for love and tolerance will cut through hate..." Fluttershy, who was actually yelling! "...AND WE WILL GRAB THE FUTURE FOR ALL BRONY RACES!" Everyone chimed in on the end. "Friendship Cannon Gurren Lagann!" Even Cadence had to include herself as she helped Shining Armor pilot Lagann in his lap. "Just who the buck do you think we are!" Chrysalis couldn't be seen now, as she was so much smaller compared to Friendship Cannon Gurren Lagann, but she watched on in silence until she finally said, "Very well. We will do this your way on an equal playing field, using the same form you so cherish." A green flame shot up from the galaxy, larger than anything in existence until today. Out of the green flame rose a black form that looked similar to Friendship Cannon Gurren Lagann, but with a single, crooked horn with a sphere floating above it. "What do you mean?" asked Shining. "It is her way. She is trying to show us absolute hate," replied a coy sounding, almost joking voice. Discord appeared on the screen. "D-Discord? You have your body back?" "We are in a Fan-Made Universe, where thought is given form. Allow me to join this fight, though my body is temporary, as dull as that is." Luna's image appeared next to Discord. "Have you come out of your thousand year prankster mood, Discord?" "Hmph! I'll never tire of tricks, though I suppose I'll have to use them for something other than chaos's sake today." "Indeed." Luna smiled. Then the fight began. Friendship Cannon Gurren Lagann charged the Anti-Bronies with its drills, and the Anti-Bronies charged them with its own variation of the drills. The fight dragged on for what felt like years, but nothing Shining and his friends did was working. It seemed that the hate from the Anti-Bronies was too strong. "Wait! Let me try!" Exclaimed Vinyl Scratch. Out of nothingness, her Brony Power created a giant speaker. "Giga Bass Drop!" The sound of dubstep and brony remixes filled the void of the cosmos as the wave of musical power hit the Anti-Bronies. They seemed unaffected, except for a crack on the sphere. A piece fell, and a planet became visible from the interior. "Wait, is that. . .?" started Spike. "Correct. That is our homeworld. We Anti-Bronies were once respected as the strongest on the internet, until the many planets began watching My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. We knew that we would soon fall prey to this trend that would lead only to our own destruction at the hands of our own fandom, so we disconnected ourselves from the online world, and began destroying all forms of Brony Life," explained the voice of Chrysalis. "Tell me, do you have that kind of resolve to protect the existence of true fan-bases? Do you!? I think not!" The Anti-Bronies charged up an attack that was larger than any attack Team Hasbro had ever seen. "Twilight! What is it?" exclaimed Lyra. Twilight began tapping away on her console in her cockpit before gasping. "There is enough energy in that attack that it rivals that if the Elements of Harmony! It may even be more powerful! We won't survive!" "And that's what their gonna hit us with?!" gasped Octavia. "Take this! Giga Chaotic Hate Attack!" A blast thirty times the size of Friendship Cannon Gurren Lagann hit home, and the heat was intense enough to melt almost anything. "Feel the rage of almost three years worth of online hate from flame wars! Feel the power of Anti-Brony forums! Ahahahaha!" All the while this is happening, Princess Celestia sat in her castle in Canterlot, watching this happen through a crystal ball that Twilight gave her. "Not yet. If I know my student her brother, then it'll take alot more than internet hate to stop them." Shining Armor, in a sweat from the heat, looked angrily through his cockpits screen. "No! We're not done yet!" "Hey! Lover boy! Let me take over from here!" Discord exclaimed as the face his cockpit resided in separated from Friendship Cannon Gurren Lagann. "This attack won't kill me just yet! It's made of my form of power; Chaos!" His gunman stepped out completely, revealing an asymmetrical mess of a mecha. "Chaotic Overload!" He dove head first into the power of the hate attack. "Discord! No!" yelped Luna. "Oh, puh-leeze! Don't get all sappy with me, Little Luna. Brony's create chaos by simply watching My Little Pony. If I can help secure chaos's place in the universe, then I will gladly risk my own safety to do so!" "The Chaos Gunman is absorbing the energy! It won't survive!" exclaimed Trixie. "Just what I needed!" The energy turned into a giant drill that Discord was also absorbed into, his last words being, "Hahahahahaha! The Drill of Chaos is yours to control through Harmony! Hahahahahaha!" Shining let a single tear fall from his eyes. "Discord, thank you. We'll put this to use right away!" "Impossible! He allowed himself to be destroyed so that he would be converted into harmonic energy?" Chrysalis was shocked and terrified. "Yeah! Take this!" The mecha lunged with a drill. "Never!" the Anti-Bronies countered and countered and countered, but Team Hasbro kept attacking with more drills. "Where are you drawing this much power!" "We expanded! Beyond the fanbase we were a moment ago! Winding upwards to the heavens with our love for My Little Pony! With each turn, we drive a little further onward! That's how a drill works!" "Why can't you see the limitations of the Brony Races! That path leads only to disappointment and failure!" Shining became enraged as the battle drove onward. "That is no one's limitation but your own! You sit up her in the universe, driving the Bronies to extinction like some kind of lunatic!" Rarity was putting more Brony power into this fight than any previous fight. "He's right! We Bronies have someone far greater than us who helped us form this fandom! For her sake alone, we'll never stop fighing!" "I've staked everything on the Brony spirit too!" Cadence was finally using her fighting spirit of love and tolerance. Shining smiled. "Mark my words. This fandom will open a hole in space, and that hole will be a path for those behind. The creators of the shows before us, the fans of the show after us; these dreams form a Sonic Rainboom that forges a path to tomorrow! That is My Little Pony! That is how Friendship is Magic! This show is the show that creates all Harmony!" Friendship Cannon Gurren Lagann charged, but was stopped by Anti-Brony Drills, but then Super Pony Gurren Lagann flew out to continue. It too was stopped, only for Spark Gurren Lagann to exit. Again, Spark Gurren Lagann was stopped, and Gurren Lagann emerged. Twilight used Gurren to grab Lagann. "Brother! Go!" She threw Lagann at the Anti-Brony home world. Shining was ready to place the final blow. "Friendship Impact!" Chrysalis was hit the force of a thousand Sonic Rainbooms, and the Anti-Brony homeworld shattered. "If this is how it must be, protect the fandom at all costs." Shining Armor grunted in irritation. "Of course we will. Bronies won't let it fall." And then the Anti-Bronies exploded into nothingness. ________________________________________________________________________ "So guys, what do you think?" Rainbow dash was flying around Twilight's library, with high expectations in her eyes. She wasn't a human, like she described everyone as in the story she had written, but a pegasus like she usually was. "It was. . .um. .. well. .. I thought it was okay I guess," Fluttershy was the first to speak up. "Hmpf, you should have described the gunman to be more stylish. They seem too brutish for my tastes," Rarity judged it buy fashion like everything. "I LOVED IT! Especially the part where Discord was a good guy even though he was actually a bad buy, oh, and Shining Armor seemed really cool what with his sunglasses and Cadence being captured by Chrysalis, kind of like she was in real life but Chrysalis didn't try to destroy the world only take it over, oh, if you publish it maybe we could throw a book signing party what do you think huh huh huh?" Pinkie Pie managed to form one gigantic sentence out of her train of thought. "Ah rather enjoyed it, sugarcube. Though, Ah didn't get very many speaking roles in it. Then again, neither did ya'll. It waz mostly Twahlight's brother Shahning and Cadence," Applejack voiced her approval. "It was pretty good, but why did you make everyone humans?" Twilight was trying to logically figure it out. "Why wouldn't I? I mean, it just seemed to make sense with the design of the gunman. Plus, everyone know humans don't exist, that's just an old myth," Dash retorted. "Besides, it was obviously the best thing you've ever read. Right? Because I wrote it to be so awesome!" Rainbow put on a pair of large, triangular sunglasses. "Just who the buck do you think I am?"
