A most strange coronation day

*CANTERLOT*

Princesses Celestia, Luna and Cadance stood on the balcony of Royal Castle alongside Prince Shining Armor, liquid pride glittering in his eyes. Down below a massive throng of cheering ponies. Amongst the crowd stood Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash and Rarity.

Princess Celestia raised a hoof to silence. "Mares and Gentlecolts, I present to you Equestria's newest princess, the Princess of Friendship, Princess Twilight Sparkle!"

Twilight nervously strides out onto the balcony, dressed in an immaculate gown that Rarity had sewn for her, a golden tiara holding six amethysts rested on her head. Cadance gestured for her the breathing exercises she had been teaching her sister-in-law for the past few weeks.

Placing a hoof to Her chest, she took a breath and let it out. Walking to the banister, she placed a a forehoof on it and waved to the crowd.

Stamping their hooves, the crowd roared with cheers. Her friends reared up and shouted cheers before stamping their hooves in applause.

Luna gave a slight nod to Rainbow Dash as a signal. Rainbow flew up into the air to perform a sonic rainboom. As she began accelerating, her speed became erratic as rainbow arcs of electricity began crackling around her. "Whoa whoa whoa!", she exclaimed before getting her acceleration under control. Suddenly Rainbow accelerated to speeds she had never achieved before, leaving a trail of multicolored bolts box lightening in her wake. Overhead multiple rainbooms blossomed in the sky causing the ponies below to gasp in awe before ducking as the multiple multicolored shock waves washed over the city, cracking multiple windows in the process.

Once Rainbow Dash managed to slow down, she found herself over distant mountains. Hovering in place she gaped in stunned awe at the dozens of dissipating rainbooms in her wake. She stammered and stumbled over he words before gathering herself, "Wh-whoa! I-I've never gone that fast before. That was AWESOME!"

Luna raised her hoof to calm the crowd. "Be calm my little ponies. It is all part of the show." Turning her head to Celestia she said softly, "Sister, did you feel that? Rainbow Dash tapped into a magic I have never felt before. I'll go, you keep the crowd entertained." Turning back to the crowd she said, "I apologize my little ponies for I must go and rest for tonight's celebrations." Walking back into the castle she teleported to Rainbow. "Rainbow Dash! Dost thou care to inform Us why thou created a stir amongst our subjects?"

"I'm sorry princess, I've never been able to perform more than one sonic rainboom at a time.", Rainbow answered still trying to figure everything else, "I've never gone that fast before. But it was TOTALLY AWESOME!" She pirouetted in the air. "Things just got twenty percent...no...one hundred and fifty percent cooler!"

Luna chuckled at Rainbow's enthusiastic display before letting her stoic mask slip back on. "Indeed things have just gotten...interesting. Come, let us go back to the castle. I'm sure Twilight will want to ask you some questions and run some tests."

"Ugh!", Rainbow exclaimed, "The last time she ran 'tests' on me, she used so much egghead talk that I thought I was going to die of boredom."

Chuckling, Luna teleported them back to the castle in Canterlot.

That night in one of the many ballrooms the coronation party for Twilight was going on. In the throne room red lightning crackled at the far end. A human wearing a yellow body suit with a red lightning bolt on his chest and red eyes streaked out or the lightning bolts before slowing to a stop. Walking slowly the human began studying the stained glass windows depicting six colorful ponies being victorious, pausing at the last window he rubbed his chin thoughtfully at the purple alicorn flying through the sky with a crown on her head. "Hmm.", he mused quietly to himself, "I looks like my calculations were off and he's not here yet. No matter, when he arrives I'll be ready for him."

Luna and Celestia were talking quietly with some nobles when they felt a dark energy radiate from the throne room. "If you'll excuse us, my sister and I have some important business that needs to be taken care of.", Celestia said politely.

Luna reached out mentally to Cadance, "Niece, stay close to Twilight. Something dangerous is in the castle."

The two sisters gathered their magic and teleported out of the ballroom. They appeared in the throne room flanked by dozens of solar and lunar guards. "Caution sister.", Luna projected into Celestia's mind, "This creature has a magic similar to what Rainbow Dash manifested, but it is dark and corrupted."

The human wearing the yellow body suit turned to face the sisters and their guards. "It seems I have found what threw off my calculations.", he said smiling dangerously. "Who do we have here?" Red electric arcs crackled across his body as he looked across the timeline. "Ah! I see Princesses Celestia and Luna have graced me their presence." He began walking slowly towards them when a bubble of golden energy surrounded him.

"And just whom art thou interloper!", Luna said narrowing her eyes.

"Ah ah ah! Spoilers!", he scolded with a dangerous smile, "You'll find out who I am in due time. But I see you've shown me a portion of your power. Allow me the same." He laid a hand on the bubble and his body blurred as he began to vibrate. The guards gasped as he effortlessly walked through the bubble shield before they formed ranks in front of the princesses. "Now you all want a fight.", he sighed in mock exasperation, "Very well, I shall give you what you wish." He darted in a yellow blur incapacitating the lunar and solar before streaking several paces away from the princesses. He crouched in a three point stance gathering the negative speed force. He darted towards the princesses in a nearly imperceptible yellow blur.

Celestia darted her right forehoof forward catching him on the chin causing him to stagger backwards stunned. Luna teleported behind him and bucked her strong hind legs into his back. "Dost thou think thy cheap parlor tricks could defeat us and our sister?", she snarled.

Rising from the floor, he wiped the trickle of blood from the corner of his mouth and cracked his back. "I guess not. I seldom find myself surprised, but you have intrigued me.", he chuckled maliciously, "I wonder what your faithful student would do in this situation?"

Before either of the sisters could react a loud voice boomed outside the windows, "SHAZAM!" A spit second later there was a blinding flash of yellow lightning followed by a deafening crash of thunder. One of the stained glass shattered into thousand of tine fragments as a tall massively muscled human wearing a red suit with a golden lightning bolt and a flowing golden cape flew threw it. The figure hovered above the floor and said in a clear loud voice, "Fear no good citizens, I have arived to aprehend this crook! Eobard Thawne! Surrender quietly and come back to our world to face justice!"

"Not the one I was expecting, but you'll do Billy Batson.", Reverse Flash laughed.

Sonn the two were fighting fighting in blurs of yellow and red as arcs of red and golden lightning danced across the room causing the royal sisters to shield their injured guards with their magic. The two fighting humans parted as the red suited human summoned a golden bolt of lightning in his hand and hurled it at the yellow suited human, sending sailing him out of the window.

"Well that was awesome!", the red suited human said, "Apologies good citizens. It was not my intentions to scare you. It seems that villain has hurt some of your soldiers. Let me help." As he walked over a dark blue bubble surrounded him.

"Hold ape! Why were thou doing battle with that other ape?", Luna said in a hostile tone.

"Hey! Who are you calling an ape?! Wait-", Shazam said his eyes going wide with surprise, "Magical talking horses?! Just like in that cartoon, My little horsey camaraderie is sorcery! I have a few friends who would just absolutely lose their minds if they knew it was true!" Pointing a finger at the royal sisters he said excitedly, "Lemme guess, you're Queen Sun Shine and her sister Queen Moonlight. Does that mean that over those hills is the town of Horseburg where your faithful student Morningstar Twinkle lives with her friends?" He clapped his hands ans he dance in place. "Zora will completely lose her mind. She has all the toys."

The sisters let their regal masks drop as they stared on in surprise. Clearing her throat and slipping back into her stoic mask Celestia said, "Who or what are you?" She walked around Luna's bubble shield inspecting him.

Shazam jammed a thumb into his chest, "I'm the coolest and strongest hero from my world, just don't let Barry or Clark hear that. You can call me Shazam. As far as what I am, I'm a human."

"Well hyoo-mohn, where dost thou come from and how dost know of our world?", Luna asked.

"Well I com from a world called-", the massive double doors at the far end of the throne suddenly banging open interrupted him.

"Ah ah ah! Spoilers Billy Batson!", Reverse Flash scolded as he strode through, "All will be revealed in good time." He sprinted forward in a yellow blur.

Shazam flew forward shattering Luna's bubble shield as he tackled Reverse Flash in a flying tackle. "You wanna do things the hard way Eobard, fine!", he shouted as he held Reverse Flash in a bear hug, "Let's do this the hard way! SHAZAM!"

Reverse Flash vibrated himself into intangibility as a massive streaked in through and slammed into Shazam turning him into a twelve year boy. Reverse Flash turned and knocked out young Billy Batson with a swift punch. He held the young boy by the collar, rearing back his fist to punch the unconscious boy when a brilliant white flash appeared.

Another human wearing a blue and gold body suit appeared with a silver orb floating over his shoulder. "Dimensional teleport complete withing acceptable parameters.", the orb chirped. "Put the boy down Eobard!", Booster Gold said raising a fist towards Reverse Flash, "My apologies for being tardy princesses, dimensional teleportation is is even trickier than temporal teleportation."

Reverse Flash dropped the unconscious Billy Batson. "Booster Gold!", he snarled, "The hero from the thirty-first century is not a welcomed surprise." He turned to fight the new opponent.

"Leave them my good Eobard.", Ras Al-Ghul said stepping out from their shadows, "Their arrival was sooner than anticipated, but not wholly unexpected. Come now, Vandal is awaiting us. You're need to power the device that will bring our associates through to this world. We must advance our time table."

Celestia cast a golden bubble shield around the new interloper. "And who are you now?"

Ras Al-Ghul stared annoyed at Celestia, drawing the sword from his back, he placed the tip against the bubble shield. "Release me princess."

Celestia let her annoyance show upon her face. "You invade my world and send your minions against me and my subjects. You have gravely miscalculated ape.", she growled.

Shoving the blade through the bubble shield causing spider web cracks to form, he sneered, "It is you who have made the grave miscalculation. Assassins!"

Small cylinders dropped from the ceiling exploding in bright flashes of light blinding all in the room. Before Celestia could react, she felt a slim tube press against her temple. Out of the corner of her eye Celestia saw a human female holding an odd rectangular with a metal tube coming out of it, out of the corner her other eye she saw a dozen humans surrounding Luna in full black body suit with swords drawn.

"You would do well to release my father as he asks.", Talia Al-Ghul said calmly, "You might be an immortal leader like my father, but I wonder how long it will take to heal when a nine millimeter rips through your brain." She eased her Luger back from Celestia's head slightly. "As a show of good faith, when you lower your barrier, I'll surrender myself as your hostage."

"What assurances do I have that you won't attack me when I drop my shield.", Celestia said narrowing her eyes.

Ras Al-Ghul smiled neutrally. "I am a man of my word dearest princess.", he said flatly, "You may be skilled enough to overpower me, my daughter and the dozen trained assassins surrounding your sister. But are you and your sister skilled enough to overpower all the assassins I have within striking distance of your loyal student or her friends?"

Celestia glowered at Ras Al-Ghul for a moment weighing her options before sighing and lowering her shield. "Get out ape!", she snarled, "And if I ever see you again or you threaten my student or any of my little ponies again, I shall put your claim of immortality to the test."

Ras Al-Ghul put his sword away and bowed, "Until the next time we meet princesses. Assassins!." The assassins threw smoke bombs on the ground. When the smoke cleared all that was left were the two sisters, their unconscious guards, the unconscious Billy Batson, Booster Gold and Talia Al-Ghul.

Talia hit the magazine release on her Luger, shucked the chambered round and dropped the pistol to the floor. Undoing her sword belt, she let it drop to the floor before raising her hands.

Celestia flicked the weapons away with her magic before pointing her horn at Talia's throat. "Give me one good reason why I shouldn't burn you to ash right here and now.", she growled letting her stoic mask drop revealing her bald anger.

"Because when Bruce finds out where I am, he shall come for me and it would fare you well not to make an enemy of him.", Talia said cooly.

"Who's Bruce", Luna asked as she levitated the weapons over to her.

"That would be Bat-man.", Booster Gold said. "When you meet him, he's all frowns and scowling like he's allergic to smiling. When he talks, he's all...", he twisted his voice into a gravely tone, "I am vengeance, I am the night, blah blah blah." Booster Gold smiled, "Even he's a gruff and scowling, he's not too bad of a guy, unless you're a mugger or a psychotic mass murdering clown." Booster gestured to the floating or, "Scan the victims for injuries."

The orb chirped before floating to the unconscious forms of Billy Batson and the guards. Scanning them, it flew back to Booster Gold. "No life threatening or serious injuries detected within an error of point zero zero five for alien physiology."

Celestia stared Talia in the eyes and ignited her magic. "Sleep.", she said coldly. Gold light played across Talia's forehead as she went limp and slumped to the floor unconscious. "Luna, five into her dreams and pry out any information about her kind."

Billy stirred on the floor groaning as he slowly woke up. Celestia trotted over to him slipping a mask of calm and nurturing over her face. "Take it easy little hyoo-mohn foal, you received quite the bump on the head."

"What a crazy dream.", Billy said rubbing his head as he looked around, "I dreamt I was around two magical talking...", he paused wide-eyed looking Celestia in the face, "...horses."

Celestia knelt down chuckling next to Billy chuckling, "I am no horse, I am a pony. My name is Celestia. Can you tell me your name?"

"My name is Billy Batson ma'am.", Billy replied reaching up and poking Celestia on the nose. He chuckled when her nose twitched.

"Can you tell me where your parents are? They must be worried sick about you.", Celestia asked.

Billy looked away sadly for a moment. "They died when I was little. I lived for a few years on the streets.", he said, "Now I live with the Justice League."

"Any just who art thou hyoo-mohn?", Luna asked Booster Gold as she helped the solar and lunar guards recover.

Booster Gold snapped a quick salute before placing his fists on his hips in a heroic pose. "Booster Gold Princesses Celestia and Luna. Time traveling and now dimensional traveling hero from the thirty-first century." He walked over to Luna and extended his hand. "Pleased to make your acquaintance."

Luna placed her hoof in his hand for a hand/hoofshake. "How is it that thou knowest of us?"

"I originally showed up right after supes and his cousin had just finished mopping everything up.", he said giving a superhero grin, "It was just a matter of having skeets do some recommendations to jump back here just before everything gets fun."

"So thou art a thrill seeker and hero for glory.", Luna said annoyed.

Down in the royal garden Fluttershy singing and talking softly to some birds when a green squirrel scampered up to her. "Oh my, I've never seen a green squirrel before.", she said extending a hoof, "Don't be afraid little guy." The green squirrel jumped onto her hoof, climbed up to her mane and began tittering in her ear. "What's that? You're not really a squirrel, but a hero in disguise.", Fluttershy asked. The squirrel tittered in her ear again and she gasped, "You're a changeling?!" The squirrel tittered in her ear again. "Oh! You call yourself Changeling, but sometimes people call you beast boy.", she said, "One question, what's a boy" The squirrel tittered in her ear again. "Oh so that's a boy!", she said. Again the squirrel tittered in her ear. "And now you say some bad people have come to my world and that you need help to get your friends here to stop them before a lot of people get hurt.", Fluttershy said, "What are people?" The squirrel tittered again. "Okay, I'll let you explain it later. The only ponies I can think of that can figure out how to get somepony from your world to our is Princess Celestia or Princess Luna, Twilight maybe could figure it out." Once again the squirrel tittered. "Oh yes she's very smart. In fact this party if for her becoming an alicorn and being crowned the princess of friendship." The squirrel tittered again. "You'll see soon enough. I'll take you to them.

Celestia and Luna entered the ballroom. Levitating an empty glass, Celestia clicked a fork against it to get everypony's attention, "Excuse me my little ponies! We have two new guest for Twilight's coronation party. Now be informed they are odd looking creatures called hyoo-mohns. Introducing Booster Gold and young Billy Batson."

The doors opened and Billy Batson and Booster Gold walked in. The crowd gasped.

"So cool!", gasped wide eyed, "A whole room of magical talking ponies."

"Greetings waist high magical technicolor talking ponies!", Booster said striking a heroic pose, "Booster Gold at your service!" He winked, clicked his tongue and gave finger guns.

Twilight walked over and bowed. "Welcome to my coronation party Mr. Gold and Mr. Batson. Please enjoy yourselves."

Fluttershy walked in the ballroom and gasped at the two humans. The green squirrel facepawed and shook his head before tittering in her ear. "Oh, those are your friends?", she asked. The squirrel tittered again. "Yes those are alicorns. That's Princess Celestia, Princess Luna and Twilight Sparkle, she's my good friend. Over at the table is Princess Cadance." Fluttershy walked up to the three. "Uuuuummmmm...princess, my little friend and I need to talk to you in private...if it's not too much trouble."

"Oh hi Fluttershy!", Twilight said, "Uh, Fluttershy, did you know you had a green squirrel in your mane?"

"That's what I wanted to talk to you all in private about", Fluttershy whispered. The squirrel tittered in her ear. "My little friend said he didn't want to transform here and create a big stir."

"Garfield is that you? Why don't you show these technicolor waist high ponies your true form, it should be a riot!", Booster laughed.

Billy facepalmed.

Changeling still in squirrel form scampered on top of Fluttershy' head and crossed his forelimbs scowling. "Look here buster!", he said crossly, "It's called keeping a low profile and gathering intel. Two things a glory hog like you has never heard of."

The four ponies stared in in stunned silence.

"It's Booster, not buster.", Booster Gold said insulted.

Celestia regained her composure and gestured to a side room, "Quite right, let's go in there to talk privately."

A week later Celestia was in her study filling out paperwork work. The actions of a week ago were still playing out in her head and giving her a migraine as she wrapped her head around this whole universe these "hyoo-mohns came from. It was filled with criminals, terrorists and war profiteers that fed on the weakest of their kind or sustained themselves on their worst traits. But there were also heroes who fought against them. And now several of those hyoo-mohns had come to this world. She slammed her hoof down on her desk in anger, there was no way she was going to let them harm her little ponies. "I need to get some tea and find an aspirin.", she grumbled to herself. She was startled by a red flash of light. A pair of red objects appeared on her desk resembling a lantern and ring. She studied the objects and froze for a moment when she heard the latter whisper, "Unleash your rage!" She levitated the objects to a strong box and locked them in for further study.

Twilight sat in the basement laboratory running equations on the new sudden boost of speed Rainbow could now tap into. She stared at the three broken treadmills laying in the corner. She rubbed her temples with her hooves. Remembering what the strange green hyoo-mohn called Garfield had said about the strange magics of his world like the green and the speed force. "It makes no sense, but this speed force is the only way Rainbow can get to such incredible speeds. It's almost like she's partially phasing out of this world.", she said to herself. Suddenly a thought entered her mind, "What if there are those hyoo-mohns who would such speed to harm others?" Suddenly stared at a flash of yellow light. On her desk appeared two yellow objects resembling a lantern and a ring. The lantern whispered, "Make them feel fear!" She locked the objects in a cabinet to study later and write a full report to Celestia. She went upstairs to make herself something to eat and take a nap.

Fluttershy was thinking about the scary groups of hyoo-mohns that the odd green hyoo-mohn called Changeling or Beast Boy or Garfield had talked about. They called themselves the League of Assassins and the Legion of Doom. If they were bad hyoo-mohns, then a lot of ponies and critters would get hurt. That made her worried. "Eep!", she squeaked in fear as there was a blue flash. A blue ring and lantern appeared on the floor. She tentatively poked the lantern with a hoof. She backed away in fear when the lantern whispered, "Heal the infirm!" She crept cautiously to the lantern and ring. "Infirm means sick or injured.", she whispered to herself. Gently picking up the ring in a hoof, she slipped it on a pinion feather. Suddenly she could see what was wrong with every sick or injured creature. She extended the ring and projected healing blue energy instantly curing the critters. Looking down at her body she saw a blue body suit covered her coat and her cutie mark was a strange symbol. Taking the ring off her feather, the body suit disappeared. Sliding the ring off and on her feather several times, the body suit would reappear then disappear. Placing the lantern and ring in her cabinet, she decided to use it again when more sick or injured critters arrived at her cottage.

Applejack was in the field bucking apples when she heard a loud thunk. Looking around she saw a metal mace partially imbedded in the ground. Poking the mace she said, "What in tarna-OW!" A belt with strange metal buckle bounced off her head. Looking the strange objects over, she gathered the two objects in a burlap sack and placed them in the barn in case their owners came looking for them.

Rarity was in her boutique trying to think of a new fashion design. Flicking through a copy of clothes horse magazine, the other designs made her feel jealous when an orange flash caught her attention. Looking up she saw an orange lantern and ring. The lantern whispered, "Mine! Mine! Mine! All mine!" "How gauche! Orange is so two years ago!", she said sticking out her tongue. Picking up the ring in a hoof, she absentmindedly slipped it on her horn. Suddenly she was consumed by intense greed. "Mine! All mine! They want it but they can't have it! It's all mine! Mine! Mine! Mine!", she shrieked. Gathering up a bunch of random items and the lantern, she ran into the mountains.
That night Derpy was laying in her bed when a clattering on her nightstand caught her attention. Covering one of her eyes, she saw a glowing golden rock on her nightstand. Picking up the rock with her hoof, she looked it over then placed it order her pillow. "Dinky might like this."

Luna was looking through her telescope looking for the yellow planet or any of the stars surrounding it when she saw something going around the planet in low orbit. Focusing the telescope on it, she saw it was an odd sled with an odd human-looking being on it. He was wearing all black leather, his skin was stark white, his long unkempt hair was pitch black, his eyes were black with red pupils, in his mouth he was smoking a cigar, his booted feet were propped up on the handlebars of his strange sled, he was reading a copy of main man monthly.
***************************************************************

*GOTHAM CITY*

Bat-man and Red Robin slipped in the skylight of an abandoned warehouse. Tapping the side of his cowl Bat-man said in a soft gruff voice, "Okay I'm recording Barbara, are you receiving?"

"Receiving the feed crystal clear Bruce.", Oracle said. She stroked a colorful horse figurine for lunch before tapping a few keys on her computer. "Okay Tim, begin recording."

Touching the corner of his mask, Red Robin began recording. "Okay Barbara, I'm recording.", he whispered.

Down below Joker, Harley Quinn and several members of the joker gang stood in front of a massive device.

"Waddya think it does puddin'?", Harley asked.

The machine began the crackle to life with arcs of electricity. "I think I found the power switch boss!", a joker thug shouted.

Joker flipped a few switches, fiddled with some nobs and pressed a few buttons on the machine. Several screens flickered to life revealing multicolored ponies walking through the the streets of cities and dimensional coordinates. "Hoohoohoo! Aw Lexy old chap, I'm almost offended! Did you think you could throw a party without me coming to crash it?", Joker laughed. Pausing, he looked over his shoulder and said in a sing-songy tone, "Oh baaaaa-aaaats! You're out there watching me, aren't you? Come on down and pla-eee-aaaayy!"

Giving a silent countdown from three, the two dropped onto two joker thugs, knocking them out.

Harley swung her bat, catching Red Robin in the side of his head and knocking him to the floor. "Stay down bird boy!", she shouted kicking him in the ribs.

Bat-man threw two batarangs stunning two charging thugs. He threw a punch at joker who deftly spun out of the way.

The Joker clicked his heel on the floor causing a knife to spring out and kicked at Bat-man, making him dodge back. He threw several razor sharp cards making Bat-man duck. Tossing several chattering teeth on the floor, the Joker grabbed a knife switch and said, "See you on the other side bats!" Throwing the switch, the world exploded into a portal of swirling rainbow colors. Joker, Harley and several thugs wound up on a rooftop in Manehattan.

"Lookie there mistah J! A whole city of colorful ponies!", Harley exclaimed.

"Yes Harley, a whole new world to sew chaos in! Heh-heh-heh-heh!", Joker laughed.

In his realm, Discord shot his head up and steeples his fingers, "Well it seems that a challenger for my title has arrived."

Bat-man rose from the ground in a spired city surrounded by multicolored ponies.

"Hey you stop!", several horned ponies shouted running towards him wearing dark blue armor.

Throwing several smoke pellets on the ground, Bat-man grappled up to the top of one of the spired buildings. Looking around he saw a dark blue winged and horned pony appear on the ground where he was just standing, on its flank was a dark patch with a crescent moon. She was looking around for him, he decided to grapple off to another part of the city until he could better figure out where he was and what was going on.

Red Robin found himself falling from the ceiling towards the floor in a small room as a pink pony shoved a bed under him. Landing hard on the bed he groaned in pain, feeling a cold wet pressure on his left hand, he saw a little green toothless alligator gumming his hand. Plucking the little alligator off he dropped it on the floor.

"Hi! My name's Pinkie Pie! What's your name?", Pinkie said excitedly hoping on the bed.

Tim Drake's eyes went crossed as he passed out from mental overload.

Rainbow colored arcs of electricity sparked off of the computer in the clock tower in some kind of strange feedback. Barbara shoved herself from her desk as the world became a swirling rainbow vortex. Crashing hard on the floor, her wheelchair tipped over dumping her unceremoniously on her side. Taking a quick second to adjust her glasses, she looked around seeing she wasn't in the clock tower. As she started to crawl back to her wheelchair, Barbara froze hearing the clatter of hooves on the floor. Suddenly a golden glow surrounded her body as she was levitated off the floor and brought face to with a solid white alicorn.

Celestia narrowed her violet eyes as she looked into the blue eyes of her new interloper. "Who are hyoo-mohn and why are you in my bedroom?"

The fight begins part one

*Canterlot*

Celestia levitated Barbara off the floor and up to her face. Celestia narrowed her violet eyes menacingly. "Who are you hyoo-mohn and why are you in my bedroom?", she said through gritted teeth.

"My name's Oracle ma'am.", Barbara said doing her best to to stay cool and aloof, "I don't know how I wound up in your room. I was helping some friends of mine track a dangerous criminal one minute, the next I was crashing onto your floor."

Celestia looked past Barbara seeing her overturned wheelchair. "Could she be handicapped?", she thought to herself. Levitating the wheelchair upright she saw a backpack hanging on the back of it and a pair of tonfas on the side. Flicking the tonfas to the far side of the room, she levitated the backpack in front of her and read the name on the tag out loud, "Bar-bar-a Gor-don. Your name is Barbara Gordon. Why the need for duplicity?"

"Uh, yes my name is Barbra Gordon, I'm the daughter of police commissioner James Gordon. My codename is Oracle."

Celestia opened the backpack and levitated several objects out. The first was a small silver cylinder with a nozzle on it, she read the words on the side out loud, "Pep-per mace. Caution: contents under pressure, do not puncture. How to use, point nozzle away from face, disengage safety, depress- a weapon.", she tossed the cylinder across the room. The next object was a flat bat-shaped object with a slight curve on the top, "Hmph, another weapon!", she flicked the bat-shaped object. Following it with her eyes as it flew in an arc around the room it curved and came back to her. Catching it in her telekinesis, inspecting it with her magic she found no sign of enchantment and she gently levitated it to the bed. She pulled out a small rectangular box that had two metal prongs on one end, she figured it was another weapon and gently placed it on the bed. She pulled out a plastic pegasus toy with multicolored mane, a pair of crossed rainbow lightning bolts were on its flank, "What is this?"

"That's a good luck charm my good friend Zora gave me. It's a collectible of Lightning Wind from the cartoon My Little Horsey: Camaraderie is Sorcery. She gave it to me because Lightning is smart, tough, quick and the prized student of Queen Sunshine. She said it reminded her of me.", Barbara said, "And if you don't mind, I'd appreciate if you gave it back. It has sentimental value to me."

Celestia smiled slightly, she knew that Rainbow dash had several Wonderbolts collectibles. She levitated it to Barbara's hand. She levitated Barbara into wheelchair and began pacing in front of her. "So young mare, tell me about where you come from and why you're here."

Bat-man perched atop one of the spires of Canterlot looking through a pair of field glasses. He zoomed in tight the group of lunar guards talking to Luna as he read their lips. "So this one is a princess.", he said to himself. He quickly flicked a small button on the field glasses taking visual scans of the group.

"The hyoo-mohn vanished using some kind of magic princess.", the lunar guard said.

Luna stood, her face a stoic mask. She felt no magic of any kind. She slowly scanned get eyes across the rooftops as she felt eyes on her. She saw him perched on top of a distant spire, she decided to reveal a small portion of her advantage just to see what she would do. Luna moved a wing in front of her mouth and spoke softly, "Be careful sergeant, the hyoo-mohn is watching us and it may be able read lips. Every guard needs to wear face guards and quietly spread the word for a standard search pattern."

Bat-man saw Luna place a wing over her mouth as she spoke, he knew at the very least she knew he was watching. Deciding that he was too exposed, Bat-leapt off the roof, grabbing his cloak he glided off into the night to find a better place to hide.

Luna smiled slightly as she saw him glide off. She quickly gestured for the guard to scatter before taking to the air. Flying to a nearby roof, she landed and waited for him to reveal his location.

*Ponyville*

Tim slowly blinked awake with a cool pressure rubbing on his cheeks. Looking up he saw a pink pony with a pink poofy mane gently rubbing a damp washcloth on his face. Sitting up he pushed the hoof away and said, "Huh? What's going on?" He quickly looked around. "Why am I in a bedroom with a pink horse?"

"I'm not a horse silly! I'm a pony!", Pinkie chirped happily. She held out a hoof. "My name's Pinkie Pie! What's yours?"

Tim looked at Pinkie offering a hoof in a very human gesture. "My name's Red Robin. Pleased to meat you Mrs. Pie.", he said shaking her hoof, "Could tell me where I am and how I got here?"

"You can call me Pinkie, Mrs. Pie is my mother!", Pinkie quipped, "To answer your question, you're in my bedroom in Sugarcube Corner. Though to be more precise, you're in Ponyville. There was a bright light at my ceiling and you fell out of it. I was barely able to push my bed under you!" She fumbled in her mane, producing a cupcake, party hat and party popper. She placed the party hat on Tim's head and offered him the cupcake. "Let me be the first to welcome you to Ponyville!"

Tim took the cupcake, smelled it and took a bite. He smiled as he ate the cupcake. Pinkie pulled the string on party popper launching a shower of streamers and confetti into the air.

On Sweet Apple Acres on the far corner of the property sat two gravestones. One read "Here lies Bright Mac Son Husband Father", the other read "Here lies Buttercup Daughter Wife Mother". The ground in front of Bright Mac's gravestone began pulsing grey-green color. A massive grey stallion burst up from the ground, his black mane matted to his head, neck and shoulders, his cutie mark was a gravestone. "Solomon Grundy, born on a Monday.", he said in a deep voice before slowly walking off towards the Everfree forest.

*Equestria: parts unknown*

In a strange skull-shaped building several villains gathered at two long tables on either side of a hallway. Lights came on above each seat revealing the villains to each other. They leered at each other cautiously.

At the far end of the hall sat a raised table. Four figures sat silhouetted in shadows. Lights came on revealing who they were, Ras Al-Ghul, Vandal Savage, Lex Luthor and the Brain.

"Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the land of Equestria.", the Brain said in flat robotic voice, "You may be wondering why we brought you here. Considering our past troubles we have had with the Justice League and the Titans, we thought a change of venue would be good." A screen lit up behind the four showing stills of the four alicorns as the Brain continued, "Once we decapitate the leadership of this land, it should be easy enough to conquer."

Vandal Savage raised a remote and clicked a button. The images on the screen changed showing not only the four alicorns, but also the other element bearers. "Our intel shows that not only do the leaders have significant power to rival even the strongest of us but that six of them also posses powerful weapons.", he said, "We must move quickly if we want to take this land." He clicked the remote again changing the images to the six element bearers. "The six possess powerful weapons called the elements of harmony. According to the intel gathered by our drones and with the help of the League of Assassins we have determined the names of the wielders these weapons and their nature. They appear to draw their power from 'magic and friendship'. The bearers names are Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy and Twilight Sparkle." He clicked the remote again reverting the image back to the four alicorns. "We recently discovered that Twilight Sparkle rose to the ranks of this lands monarchy. The four monarchs shown here are beings known as "alicorns", the other three are named Princess Celestia, Princess Luna and Princess Mi Amore "Cadance" Cadenza. Each are known to be extremely powerful, but Twilight Sparkle being the newest and youngest of the four monarch may be the weakest."

Lex Luthor clicked a remote bringing the up four images. The first was of Celestia, the second was of a unicorn, the third was of a pegasus and the fourth was of an earth pony. "We have been able to classify the citizens of-"

Cyborg Superman leapt over a long long table into the center of the hall interrupting Luthor. "Enough! I need none of you to force this world to bend the knee to me!", he shouted he shouted in his distorted voice, "When I am finished taking this world as mine, you will all bend the knee!" He launched himself upwards with his foot rockets, smashing through the roof as he flew off into the night.

Lex glowered as Cyborg Superman flew off through the ceiling.

"Let him leave.", Ras Al-Ghul said calmly, "He was a liability anyways." Ras quickly clapped his hands and some assassins opened a door. Lord Tirek and Queen Chrysalis were led in. "If it please you my fellow associates, I present to you two new prospects to join our numbers.", Ras said coolly, "Lord Tirek and Queen Chrysalis. They already have pre-existing knowledge of this world. Queen Chrysalis has an army at her disposal."

The four gathered up close together and quietly conferred.

"Welcome Lord Tirek and Queen Chrysalis, please take a seat.", the Brain said robotically.

Ras Al-Ghul raised a finger and an assassin brought out a vial of Lazarus chemical to Tirek. "Drink this Lord Tirek and your strength shall be restored."

"Now if there are no more interruptions.", Lex said masking his annoyance, "As I said before I was rudely interrupted, the citizens of equestria can be divided into four subspecies. The alicorns possess extremly long lives, can fly, have great physical strength and have access to a great amount of magic, they also appear to be the high rulers of this land, neutralizing them will be difficult but not impossible. They are also the rarest of all the equines in this world. The next group are the unicorns. Though they are the physically weakest of the equines, they are able to channel magic through their horns and make up the majority of this land's aristocracy. Taking neutralizing them will be difficult at range, but we suspect that if you get close to them and focus your attacks on they horns, they can be quickly brought down. The third group of equines are known as pegasi. Their primary trait is their wings which allow them to fly, walk on clouds and directly manipulate the weather. Some of them can fly at great speeds and they will prove to be the second most difficult group to neutralize. If you focus your attacks on their wings, you will be able to effectively cripple them making them easier to neutralize. The fourth group of equines seem to be completely normal, but possess great physical strength and endurance. They should prove the easiest to neutralize." He clicked the remote again bringing up a composite map of Equestria. "It appears that the equines have structured their country very similar to ours, living primarily in cities and towns. We must focus our initial attacks on the cities first before subjugating the countryside." He clicked the remote again bringing up red circles around Canterlot and Ponyville. "The capitol of this country and where the majority of the ruling class lives is a city called Canterlot. The six bearers of the weapons called the Elements of Harmony live in a small town called Ponyville. We must devote a significant portion of our strength on Canterlot and Ponyville to effectively neutralize the leadership of this country."

Ras Al-Ghul clicked a remote, the images changed to a live feed of several rockets being prepared. "We had constructed before coming here several orbital launch vehicles. Once the rockets reach orbit, they will deploy satellites that will assist with coordination and real time observation." He clicked the remote again bringing up images of satellite diagnostics. "The satellites will also contain orbital lasers and tungsten bombardment rods in the event resistance proves difficult. We want to keep collateral to a minimum as this land contains mineral deposits and energies that will help us in our endeavors, in short keep the loss of life to a minimum as we need the locals for labor. We also came into the knowledge that two members of the Justice League have made their way to this world, Shazam and Booster Gold. We must accelerate our time table slightly as the other members will arrive sooner or later."

"Alright, prepare yourselves, we launch our first attacks at dawn.", Vandal Savage said.

*Gotham City*

Nightwing swung to the balcony on Wayne tower. As he landed, he took out a scanner holding the information from strange devices he found in Bludhave and Gotham. He key up Batwoman on the communicator, "Kate, please tell me you have good news about the clock tower going dark."

"I'm sorry Dick, there's no sign of Barbara here.", Batwoman replied, "It's weird, no signs of a struggle and the computer logs shows no one exited. It's like Barb just vanished into thin air just like Bruce and Tim did. My scanner is also picking up a residual feedback of that odd energy from those strange machines."

Nightwing sighed in frustration. "Okay Kate, when you finish up there lock everything down and meet me at Lucius' office."

"Can do. Batwoman out."

Nightwing keyed up the Bat cave. "Alfred, please tell me you've got some news."

"I'm sorry Master Grayson, neither Master Bruce's nor Master Tim's transponders have been activated and I can't find a trace on their communicator signal.", Alfred sighed, "As for those strange energy readings you transmitted to the bat computer, I've never seen them before, it's almost as if they're not from this world. Maybe Mister Fox can make something of them."

Dick grimaced in frustration. "Have you been able to raise the Titans on comms?"

"Yes Master Dick, I managed to contact Miss Starfire. She said that Changeling disappeared around the same time as Shazam and Booster Gold. She said she'd gather up the old team and meet you at Wayne tower.", Alfred replied.

Thanks Alfred, Nightwing out.", Dick said. "First the League of Assassins disappears, then the Legion of Doom, then Eobard Thawne, shortly afterwards Shazam, Booster Gold and Garfield vanish, followed by Bruce and Tim. Is someone picking potential rivals?". Nightwing said to himself. He quickly keyed up the Watchtower, "Nightwing to Watchtower. J'on, I'm transmitting to you some strange readings I've found, see if you have anything on them. Also make sure there are no incursion from Apokalypse or Brainiac."

"Okat Nightwing, I'm recieving the transmission now.", Martian Manhunter replied, "I've not detected any signs of Brainiacs advanced scouts or boom tubes from Apokalypse." He quickly ran a diagnostic on the energy readings. "Watchtower to Nightwing, initial diagnostics of the energy reading show no known terrestrial source, it almost appears Extra-dimensional in nature. I'll share the reading with Superman, Wonder Woman and Flash, maybe they've had better luck. I'll keep you informed of any changes. Watchtower out."

Nightwing gave an aggravated grunt. He quickly keyed up Robin, "Damien, how far out are you?"

"I'm about three minutes out Dick.", Damien replied.

"Okay, see you soon. Nightwing out." Nightwing said before keying up Red Hood, "Jason, how far out are you?"

A grappling hook latched on the balcony and Red Hood ascended landing on the railing. "I'm here. I arrived about ten seconds ago."

Nightwing keyed off the communicator. "Wiseass.", he said. He keyed up Lucius Fox, "Lucius are you in? Me and Jason are outside on the balcony."

"Come inside Mister Grayson.", Lucius Fox replied. The steel shudders over the door quickly raised. As Nightwing and Red Hood walked in Lucius Fox from his computer and pleasantly said, "Good evening Misters Grayson and Todd. I'm happy to inform you that I've rerouted young Mister Wayne's motorcycle to the underground access tunnels. Now to those odd energy readings you sent me, I've been able to discover that it's not any known energy from our universe and it is most likely extra-dimensional."

"I've transmitted my readings to the Watchtower and Martian Manhunter confirmed that it may be extra-dimensional", Nightwing said, "He said that he would send it to Superman, Wonderwoman and flash so they could analyze it too. Oh and before I forget, I've got some old friends from the Titans coming too. I figured that if a bunch of dangerous criminals have gone to a world unprepared for them, then the Bat family and the Titans could arrive a a vanguard to help them."

As if on cue the shadows in the center of the room began to depen as the room began to vibrate. A massive bird-like shadow formed and out stepped Starfire, Cyborg, Donna Troy, Red Arrow, Hawk, Dove and Raven.

Korriand'r walked over and gave Nightwing a hug. "It's good to see you again Dick.", she said happily.

Nightwing hugged Starfire back. "It's good to see you again. It's good to see you all again. Damien and Kate will be arriving soon." After breaking the hug he said, "So what's this about Garfield going missing?"

Starfire produced a letter. "He said here that he was using the green to travel to the world that our enemies were traveling to and that he was leaving a hair so Raven could get us to him."

The lock on the door began beeping. "Mister Grayson, my security lockout are being overridden!", Lucius said with urgency. He quickly locked down the shutters, the ducked under the desk grabbing a pistol.

Nightwing, Red Hood and the Titans took up combat positions as the door opened. Amanda Waller walked through adjusting a bulletproof vest over the top of her heavyset frame.

"Easy, I'm not here to pick a fight.", Amanda Waller said slowly raising her hands.

"Why are you here?", Red hood asked aiming one of his pistols at her head.

"If the wanted criminals that make up the Legion of Doom and the League of Assassins have found a way to travel to another world, then the U.S. government decided that they should send a representative of good will.", she said calmly, "And whom better than an agent that has extensive experience with supers?"

Nightwing narrowed her eyes at her for a moment. "Stand down everyone. Just more bureaucratic bullcrap from our great government.", he said annoyed, "Raven, seeing as our descision has been made for us, would transporting one more cause any problems?"

Raven who was focusing on Changeling's hair answered flatly, "It shouldn't cause any problems. Though focusing on an unfamiliar world is going to prove difficult without some kind of beacon." She continued to focus on the hair when she felt a pulse of magic calling for help. "Okay prepare yourselves, I just received a call for help, I should be able to center in on it and get us there, though I cant promise that we won't get scattered when we arrive. Activate your transponders now just in case."

Batwoman and Robin arrived just as the group was forming up to be transported. They quickly formed up.

As the group got into a fighting stance, Nightwing said, "Batwoman, Robin, activate your transponders now." He keyed up the Watchtower, "Martian Manhunter, me, Batwoman, Robin and the Titans are fixing to travel to across dimensions, as soon as you are to determine the world's origins send as many of the Justice League as you can. We may find ourselves up to our necks in trouble."

"Will do Nightwing. Good luck and Godspeed! Watchtower out."

Raven began chanting, "Asteroth Metreon Zenthos! Asteroth Metreon Zenthos! Asteroth Metreon Zenthos!" Her eyes shown white as a multicolored portal opened under their feet. In a bright flash the group was gone.

*Canterlot*

Bat-man had spent the last few hours going from roof to roof avoiding guard patrols and getting a basic layout of the city. He landed silently on a rooftop having just avoided a pegasus patrol. He pulled out a batarang with a scanner on it and keyed it to his cowl so he could get a better layout of the city and track guard movements. He hurled the scanner into the air as the gyroscope in it kept it's flight pattern and speed constant. Keeping one eye on his cowl transparent so he could see in any guards trying to approach, he slipped into the shadows.

Luna was hoping from roof to roof searching for Bat-man. It was a simple enough task to draw shadows around herself. She would occasionally catch sight of him only to lose sight of him when he rounded a corner or ducked down an alley. A few rooftops down she saw a batscanner fly up into the night sky. "You have proven a most amusing quarry hyoo-mohn, but our little game of hide and seek comes to an end now.", she said to herself. Taking to the air she flew over the roof where she saw the batscanner fly up from. Looking down Luna saw Bat-man crouched in some shadows. Casting a silencing spell on herself, she flew down and landed near him soundlessly. Creeping up next to Bat-man, Luna dropped the spells and whispered in his ear, "Thou art a skilled opponent, but there is only one true mistress of the night."

Bat-man caught unawares tumbled forward in a twisting somersault throwing a smoke pellet and two batarangs. He rolled to his feet holding a batarang in one hand and a smoke pellet in the other.

Luna let the batarangs glance off her shield harmlessly. She flapped her wings dispersing the smoke a confidently strode forward. "Is it a fight thou wants hyoo-mohn? Thou shalt find we are the superior combatant.", Luna said laughing, "Surrender now and thou shalt be unharmed." When she saw he was ready to fight, she chuckled, "Very well. Tally-ho!" She charged forward.

Bat-man tumbled aside as he threw the smoke pellet and batarang simultaneously which Luna harmlessly batted them both away with her wings.

"Thou needest new tricks hyoo-mohn.", Luna taunted, "You are beginning to bore me."

Bat-man flicked a small stub on his gauntlets electrifying them, he narrowed his eyes and growled.

"Grr?", Luna laughed, "You think you are a dog now?"

Bat-man and Luna charged at each other when twin red beams of energy traced acroos the rooftop between them. Mat-man went into a reverse handspring and Luna teleported back a few feet.

"Bend the knee before your superior!", Cyborg Superman shouted as he descended.

Luna fired a warning shot of magic at Cyborg Superman.

Cyborg Superman laughed derisively, "Very well, I shall force you to bend the knee horse." He flew down at Luna as she threw up a shield. His punches landed hard on her shield causing spider wed cracks to form on it. More and more cracks formed on the shield as his rained punch after punch on it, raising both fists over his head he brought them down on her shield shattering it.

Bat-man quickly threw a batarang into the back of Cyborg Superman's knee, embedding it. He quickly he quickly tapped the back of his gauntlet send an arc of electricity into Cyborg Superman's body.

Cyborg Superman screamed as his voice became static, his knee buckled.

Luna reared up and struck Cyborg Superman hard across the face with a hoof causing him to tumble across the rooftop. She quickly loosed a spell calling for help. Luna then charged forward lowering her horn and encasing it in magic.

Cyborg Superman rose to a knee and threw a hard right cross into Luna's jaw sending her sprawling. He slapped the batarang from the back of his knee and turned to Bat-man. "Ah Bat-man, figures you'd be here already.", he laughed in his distorted voice, "It will give me great pleasure to break you." He flew forward drawing a fist back.

Bat-man threw a flash bomb into Cyborg Superman's face as he rolled out of the way.

Cyborg Superman screamed in rage as his photo-receptors were momentarily scrambled. He crashed into a nearby building startling the ponies inside. Standing up in the rubble of the now wrecked rook, he glared at the ponies causing to flee in fear. He flew up through the ceiling and crashed through the ceiling. Levitating above the building, he fired twin beams of energy at Luna and Bat-man vivisecting the building causing it to slowly collapse.

Bat-man grappled away from the building and down to the street as Luna teleprted into the building getting out as many ponies as possible. When she had finished teleporting out the last of the ponies, she gave a quick magical scan to make sure. As she charged her magic to teleport out, the last of the supports gave out and the building came crashing down around her ears. She threw up a shield around herself and fired off another magical call for help.

Cyborg Superman laughed as he levitated down to the street. The sound of crashing rubble cause him to turn and he stared in momentary shock as Luna rose from beneath the ruined building levitating rubble off her. "No!", he shouted in disbelief, "Only Superman is that tough and you are not him!"

"Did anypony tell you that it is customary to bow before royalty?", Luna asked angrily as she grabbed Cyborg Superman in her magic and forced him to his hands and knees.

Cyborg Superman screamed in raged as his servos whined in protest as he slowly rose to his feet. He rushed forward slamming hard into Luna raining punch after punch into her head and body.

Celestia raised her head sensing Luna's magical call for help. "Guards!", she shouted. As several guards came into her room, she said, "Watch her and make sure she goes nowhere! Luna calls for help!" She teleported into the skies over Canterlot seeing a cybernetic human pummeling Luna as another human was ineffectually attacking him.

"What am I going to do, walk out of here?", Barbara snarked to the guards.

Cyborg Superman lifted Luna over his head and slammed her hard on the ground. He stomped her on her wing crushing the bones under his foot. Laughing in sadistic glee he raisedhis foor to stomp on her head when a grappling hook latched onto his wrist. He snatched the grappling hook away and launched himself at Bat-man. He lifted Bat-man up by his suit and reared back his fist to punch him hard in the head when a bright multicolored flash of light scrambling his photo-receptors. When his photo-receptors cleared he saw an orange fist coming at his face.

When Starfire came out of the rainbow portal, she saw Bat-man being lifted by his suit by Cyborg Superman. She flew forward and slammed her fist into his face sending him tumbling away head over heels. She quickly flew after him leaving Raven to tend to Bat-man and Luna.

Cyborg Superman twisted his body upright and came to a skidding stop on his heels. He quickly flew forward towards Starfire. The two slammed together with such force that they created a shock wave that shattered nearby windows.

The guards came hearing the sounds of fighting and evacuated the nearby buildings getting the civilians away from the combat.

As Raven stepped out of the portal, she reached out telepathically sensing that most of the group had landed in a forest some ways away, Hawk and Dove were still traveling through the inter-dimensional medium. She sprinted to Bat-man. "Bat-man! Are you okay?"

Coughing, Bat-man pointed to the barely conscious form of Luna. "Tend to her!"

Starfire quickly got the upper hand over Cyborg Superman. Clasping both fists together, she launched him into the air and flew up after him. Catching his heel in her hand, she threw him back down to the street and flew back down slamming both feet into his back. As the two crashed into the street, they created a shallow crater.

Raven ran over to Luna and knelt down. As Luna slowly opened her eyes, Raven gently shushed her, "Shh! Don't try to move. You're hurt pretty bad. I'm going to try and help you." She reached out with her power and felt her injuries. She began to knit her most serious wounds. "Consider yourself very lucky, very few people tangle with Hank Hanshaw and live to talk about it."

"We don't feel very lucky.", Luna said weakly looking Raven in the eyes.

Starfire stomped on Cyborg Superman a few times before walking off him. He rose o his feet and tackled into her with a snarl. Starfire twisted around midair and flipped him onto the road. "Just stay down!", she shouted. He rose back to his feet.

Starfire fired several starbolts into Cyborg Superman's chest. The impacts drove him backwards as his heels dug furrows into the street. He slapped the last starbolt aside and prepared to rush for when golden energy surrounded the supers, forcing to their hands and knees.

"DID ANYPONY TELL YOU IT WAS CUSTOMARY TO BOW BEFORE ROYALTY?", Celestia said in the Royal Canterlot voice. As she looked around at the carnage and the supers, she saw Luna laying on the ground. "If you have harmed my sister, I'll-" The protesting whine of servos interrupted her and she saw Cyborg Superman rising slowly from the ground.

"Another one? very I'll brea-" An intensely bright silver lightning bolt slammed into Cyborg Superman cutting him off. The red light in his eyes went out as his body fell over with a loud thud.

"Now stay down!", Luna said on wobbly legs. She spat on the ground in contempt. Her strangth gave out and she slumped to the ground.

"Luna!" Celestia shouted as she ran to her sister. She reached out with her magic feeling her partially knitted wounds.

"These hyoo-mohns helped me fight against this metalic golem sister.", Luna said weakly, "One even used their magic to try and heal me."

"Thank you hyoo-mohns, I am in your debt for protecting my sister.", Celestia said releasing her magic. The sound of servos caught her attention, she looked over seeing Cyborg Superman sitting up as his body was repairing itself. "No!", she exclaimed.

A massive black spectral rave grasped Hank Henshaw in its talons and hurled him up high. He flew up through the atmosphere and out of orbit.

After the fight was over Amanda Waller put her pistol back in its holster and stepped from between the two buildings she using for cover. She pulled out her badge and ID holding them up as she slowly walked towards Celestia. "Special agent Amanda Waller.", she said in a loud clear voice, "When the United States government learned of the wanted criminals and terrorists that came to your world from ours, they requested help from the supers of our world to lend assistance. I have been sent by my government as an envoy of good will between our two governments."

Bat-man scoffed loudly.

Amanda looked around at the devastation. "It appears that Mr. Henshaw was acting of his own accord. When the real attack happens and it will happen soon, it will be much more organized and devastating. If your country has a standing military, I advise you to put them on high alert."

All across Equestria multiple rockets launched and roared up through the atmosphere into orbit.

In orbit one of the rockets sailed past Lobo reading his copy of Main Man Monthly, the wake of the rocket blew the cigar out of his mouth. "Whoa!", he exlaimed. He looked down the planet. Placing a hand to his chin, he cranked his head and cracked his neck. "Looks like things are about to get pretty intense down there.", he said smiling, "I guess it's time to do what the Main Man does." He tossed his copy of Main Man Monthly over his shoulder, pulled a cigar out of his pocket and lit it, blowing out the smoke he cranked up his rocket bike and roared off towards the planet laughing. The copy of Main Man Monthly slowly spun in the void, the headline read "This month the Main Man wrecks up Equestria".
**********************************************************************************

*Ponyville: the next morning*
Derpy walked outside with Dinky. She had the shiny golden rock under wing that she planned to surprise her daughter with.

Dinky threw a ball to her mother. "Throw it back momma!", Dinky shouted as she jumped excitedly.

Derpy picked up the ball with her hoof and threw it. The ball sailed off into the distance like a bullet. Derpy blinked shocked.

"Wow momma! You're really strong!", Dinky exclaimed.

"Heh heh!", Derpy laughed sheepishly. The ball bounced off the back of her head. "What the!", she exclaimed as she looked behind her seeing the ball bounce away. A loud crash at SugarCube Corner got her attention her attention and she look off in a flash.

Pinkie woke up seeing Red Robin sliding his helmet on. A loud crash downstairs caught both of their attention and Tim bolted through the door.

Downstairs the front door was ripped off the hinges. Metallo held up Mrs. Cake by her neck. "Where's Pinkie Pie?", he asked in a distorted robotic voice.

Red Robin fire his grappling hook at Metallo's head. It latched on and he zipped over swing his staff at Metallo's head.

Metallo grabbed Red Robin out of the air and spiked him to the floor. He planted a foot on the side of his face and began slowly grinding it when a cupcake splatted on his face. Wiping the cupcake away he saw Pinkie standing on the stairs.

"Leave him alone you rump-ugly rump face!", Pinkie shouted.

Metallo stepped off Red Robin's face and began walking towards the stairs. "Ah Pinkie Pie, just the horse I've been looking for.", he said coolly

"Run Pinkie!", Mrs. Cake shouted.

Pinkie took off up the stairs in a flash and into her room.

Metallo stalked up the stairs. When he reached the landing at the top, he saw the door to Pinkie's room creak closed. "Come out come out where ever you are!", he taunted. Ripping the door off the frame he entered the room and began scanning for heat signatures when he heard a creak under the bed. "Got ya!", he said as he flipped the bed over. He stared nonplussed at the little toothless alligator where the bed used to be. A creak from the bathroom drew his attention, as he went to walk over to the bathroom door a blast from a party cannon launched him out the window.

"Whew!", Pinkie exclaimed wiping sweat from her forehead. She picked up gummy and placed him on her back. She gasped in shock as Metallo leapt through the window. She quickly started reloading the party cannon.

Metallo sprinted across the room and grabbed Pinkie by her neck. He began slowly squeezing. "I was going to just capture you, but you've made me mad so now I'll kill you."

As Red Robin sat up slowly, a barely visible grey blur went past him and up the stairs.

Derpy ran in a blur through the ruined door of Sugarcube Corner, she heard Pinkie upstair choking. As she ran upstairs she saw a metallic golem strangling Pinkie. She slammed her body into Metallo causing him to break his hold on Pinkie's. She bucked him through the window and flew out after him.

Pinkie slumped against the wall gasping. She rubbed a hoof against her neck as Red Robin ran into her room.

He shouted, "Pinkie! Are you okay?!"

Pinkie nodded and pointed a hoof out the window. "I think Derpy just saved me.", she said between gasps as she slowly rose from the floor.

Derpy was raining blow after blow on Metallo. He shoved her back a few feet and Derpy's vision went red. One beam of red energy lanced into Metallo etching a red line, the other lanced through the clouds.

Metallo recognized the attack and began stalking towards Derpy. He opened the compartment in his chest revealing his green Kryptonite core.

Derpy recoiled as the green glowing rock made her feel sick. She felt the strength drain from her and only her wings kept her in the air.

Metallo slapped Derpy out of the air and raised a foot to stomp on her when a clank on his head followed by an explosion sent him reeling.

Red Robin hopped to the ground throwing several more explosive shuriken to keep Metallo reeling. He pulled out his grapple launcher, flipping a switch he electrified it and fired the claw into Metallo's leg causing him to drop to his knees.

Metallo slapped the grappling claw off his leg and rose to his feet. He prepared to charge when his legs locked up. Internal warnings went off warning the he was being hacked. Turning his head he saw Cyborg walking up waving a hand over a holographic display. A shadow from above caught his attention, turning his head upwards he saw Pinkie descending towards him with a party cannon on her shoulder and a combat helmet on her head.

Pinkie fired the party cannon into Metallo as Cyborg finished his hacking. He fell over with a loud clank. Red Robin ran up and slapped several devices on his body to keep is systems in lockdown.

Applejack walked out to the barn yawning. She began gathering up buckets to buck apples when the wall of the bran exploded into splinters as Bane charged through.

Bane grabbed Applejack in his hands and raised Applejack over his head. "I break you little caballito!"

The fight begins part two

View Online

Rainbow Dash was flying over Ponyville preparing for her morning shift on the weather team. She banked towards Sweet Apple Acres with a small sack of bits to place an order for a bushel of apples, maybe she could pester her for some breakfast. Rainbow paused midair hovering as she saw a massive brute of a human walking towards the Apples barn, she darted to the top of a cloud to watch him. Her eyes went went wide as he charged through the side of the barn. Leaping off the cloud, she poured on as much speed as she could leaving multicolored lightning bolts in her wake. Flying through the hole in the wall of the barn she saw the massive brute lifting AJ over his head.

"Let her go you big ugly chump!", Rainbow shouted as she slammed her forehooves into Bane causing him to stumble forward and drop AJ.

Bane quickly recovered turning on his heel. "Another caballito! Good! I get to break dos for the price of uno." He threw a punch a Rainbow who deftly dodged out of the way.

"You gotta be faster than that if you wanna hit me!", Rainbow taunted. She dodged another punch. "Missed me!" She blew a raspberry at him. When he threw a crate and she effortlessly barrel rolled out of the way. "It's like you're not even trying to hit me! My turn!" She did a back flip to gain speed and flew at Bane slamming a hoof into his face causing him to stagger backwards out the door. Rainbow helped Applejack to her feet. "Get your family and run! I'll hold the big brute off!" She darted out the door.

Applejack leaned against a crate shaking the cobwebs off. She looked down at the mace that had fallen out the bag. Reaching for it she said, "Ah ya forgive me fer usin yer property, but my friends an' family are in trouble." As she picked up the mace it activated with a crackle of energy and the belt flew out of the sack wrapping around her waist. Her vision went white for a moment, when it had cleared Applejack found she had armor on her body, a hawk's head cowl and...wings? "What th'?!" She hurried to a broken mirror looking at herself. "Wha?! How did Ah become a pegasus?!"

Rainbow was zipping around dodging punches and raining blows on Bane. She zipped between his legs and bucked hard into the back of his knees sending him crashing hard onto his back. She flew over him taunting, "Just give it up buddy! You gotta get up pretty early morning to get one over on Rainbow Danger Dash." She breathed on a hoof and buffed it on her chest.

Bane rolled up to his feet. Adjusting the knob on the back of his left glove, he slapped the button on his chest. The super steroid venom pumped through his body. His muscles creaked and his joins groaned as his bulk increased greatly enhancing his strength. He shouted in triumph before looking to Rainbow sneering in delight. Holding up a hand, he twitched his fingers in a challenge.

Rainbow was taken aback momentarily at Bane's increase in muscle mass, when he waved a challenge at her. Setting her jaw she zipped down at him. When her hoof collided with him it felt like she just struck an oak tree. Flying up several feet, she shook the pain out of her hoof. Quickly she devised a new plan. Diving down, she flew circles around him creating a whirlwind.

Bane tried to follow Rainbow with his eyes, but she was too fast. A whirlwind began to form around him. Each time he tried to grab the pegasus all he came back with was empty air. Adjusting the knob on his left glove, he slapped the button on his chest sending the venom through his body, increasing him muscle mass again. He slammed his palms together creating a small shock wave, dispersing the whirlwind. He saw Rainbow standing on the ground shaking the cobwebs off. He rushed towards her and when she tried to take to the air, he swatted her to the ground hard. He grabbed both of the pegasus' wings in his hands. "Now I pluck you pollo!" He squeezed his hands tight around her wings and began slowly pulling. Rainbow screamed in pain as she flailed trying to get free.

Applejack heard Rainbow scream in pain. Acting purely on instinct, she propelled her self with her new hawk wings. Seeing Bane slowly pulling Rainbow's wings, Applejack flew forward slamming the mace into Bane's knee sending him tipping forward with a shout of pain as he released Rainbow.

Rainbow quickly flexed her wings making sure there was now permanent damage before fluing up next to the now hovering AJ. "Whoa AJ, when did you get wings?", she asked excitedly, "This is gonna be awesome!" She did an excited back flip.

"Focus RD! We'll figure this out later. Right now we gotta make sure tuh take this chump down!", Applejack stated.

As Bane rose from the ground growling in anger, AJ and RD flew at him. AJ cracked him across the face with the mace as RD swept in behind his knees tripping him up. As AJ rushed forward to clobber Bane again while he was on the ground, a blast of photoninc energy knocked her back blinding her.

Doctor Light descended on a field of solid light. "Surrender Applejack and Rainbow Dash and we will assure that you are unharmed!", he said in a loud voice. He narrowed his eyes as he landed, "I hope you resist."

"Great! Another one!", Rainbow snapped, "You take the big one AJ, I'll light bulb here!" She flew at Doctor Light. When she threw a punch, it glanced off a photonic shield. She quickly took to the sky before diving downwards gaining speed. As a shock cone formed around and multicolored lightning began trailing off her, she slammed into Doctor Light's photonic shield causing it to shatter. She began raining blows, sending him reeling. Rainbow swooped down low and swept Doctor Light's legs from under him. When he hit the ground, she began punching him in the face until he was unconscious.

Applejack blinked the spots out of her eyes and saw Bane charging at her. She went into a charging flight at him. As the two collided, fist impacted snout as mace impacted jaw sending the two tumbling away from each other. As they rose from the ground Bane licked the blood from his lip and Applejack wiped the blood from her nose.

Adjusting the knob on his glove, Bane said, "You are strong caballito, but I'm stronger!" He slapped the button on his chest sending more venom into his body increasing his strength and muscle mass again. He snatched an apple tree out of the ground with both hands and swung it downwards.

Applejack threw bother her forelimbs up to try and block the tree but found herself pinned under it's branches.

"APPLEJACK!", Rainbow screamed as she flew straight at Bane, "I'll kill you creep!"

Bane reached out a hand and grabbed Rainbow out of the air. He began slowly crushing the life out of her.

With a hard kick of her hooves Applejack broke free of the limbs of the apple tree and sprung into the air. "How dare you!", she snarled, "David never hurt anypony!" She gave a primal scream and she charged through the air.

Bane threw Rainbow into Applejack causing both of the to collide in a heap.

AJ quickly nudged Rainbow, "Rainbow, get up! We gotta get outs here! Can ya fly?"

Rainbow flexed her wings and screamed in pain. "My left wing! I think it's broken!"

"Ah'll carry ya! Get on!" Rainbow climbed on AJ's back and when she went to take to the air, Bane leapt up grabbing her by a back leg. Rainbow fell hard to the ground.

Bane gripped Applejack's body in front of him. "Now I snap you in half!" He began slowly bending Aj's back in his hands making her scream in pain. A loud whistle caught his attention and when he turned his head a baton struck him between the eyes. As it ricocheted away he saw Nightwing and Donna Troy.

Nightwing caught the baton out of the air and connected them to form a staff. "Why don't you pick on someone a little more your size.", he said electrifying the ends of the staff.

Bane hurled Applejack at Nightwing who tumbled out of the way.

Donna Troy flew over and gently caught AJ out of the air. She gently patted Aj on the cheek to wake her, "Are you okay little horsey?"

Applejack's eyes snapped open seeing a human gently cradling her. "Huh? What-what's going on? Why am Ah being carried by a flying hyoo-mohn?"

"Can you stand?", Donna Troy asked.

"Ah think so."

"Good, because your friend's gonna need help.", Donna Troy said as she landed softly next to Rainbow. She gently placed Aj on her hooves.

Nightwing tumbled past Bane, jamming the end of the electrified staff into the small of his back. As Bane turned, Nightwing threw a smoke pellet followed by a wingding. As Bane charged enraged through the smoke, Nightwing threw a glue bomb at his feet. When Bane effortlessly tore away from the Nightwing leapfrogged over him. As Bane turned to face Nightwing again, Nightwing pointed to his left. When Bane truned his head, Donna Troy slammed her shield into his face sending him sailing through the air.

Rainbow blinked awake seeing Applejack tend to her. When Rainbow tried to fold up her wings she grunted in pain, "Oh right, that big ape broke my wing."

"Don't try to move sugarcube, Ah'm gonna get somethin to brace the wing.", AJ said. She ran into the ruined barn returning a few seconds later with a board and a piece of rope. Snapping a stick off David, she placed it to Rainbow's mouth. "Bite down on this while Ah set that wing." After Rainbow had bitten down the stick, AJ said, "Brace yerself, this is gonna hurt. Ready?" Rainbow nodded and closed her eyes. When AJ reset the bone Rainbow bit down hard of the stick screaming. AJ placed the board against the broken wing and quickly wrapped the length of rope around it, tying the knot tight making Rainbow wince.

Applejack ran and picked up the mace.

"Where are you going?", Rainbow shouted.

"Tuh stop that big hyoo-mohn before he wrecks anymore of my families property!", Applejack shouted back, "Ah think the two smaller ones are are tryin' tuh stop him." As she picked up the mace, the wings, cowl and armor reappeared. Applejack flew off towards the fight.

As Bane charged at Donna Troy, she she braced her shield in front of herself. As Bane slammed into it, her feet dug furrows in the ground as she was pushed backwards. Nightwing split his staff back into escrima sticks, pulled out a grapple launcher. Firing the grappling claw, it latched onto Banes hip and Nightwing propelled himself forward jamming the electrified escrima stick in Bane's ribs. Bane grabbed Nightwing and pinned him to the ground. Donna Troy punched Bane in his face sending him stumbling. Nightwing jammed his electrified escrima stick into Bane's groin making shout in pain before rolling away.

Bane swiped at Nightwing who cartwheeled away. Donna Troy threw a punch at Bane who grabbed her arm and lifted her into the air. Donna Troy quickly lifted her legs driving her knees into Bane's chin. Bane dropped Donna Troy as he stumbled backwards. Applejack flew up gripping the mace in both hooves, she slammed it hard into Bane's stomach launching him as high as the tops of the apple trees. Applejack flew up slamming the mace first into the left side of Bane's face, then the left, she zoomed above him and bucked her hooves into his back sending him crashing into the ground with a loud thump. She alighted to the ground.

Bane rose from the human-shaped dent in the ground. Seeing the three standing before him, he decided that retreat was more prudent. Reaching down he grabbed a massive chunk of dirt and threw in the direction of the three in a great cloud. He ran off into the Everfree forest to regroup.

Applejack went to fly after him but Donna Troy flew in front of her to stop her.

"Let him go.", Donna said flatly.

Applejack landed and tried to get her wings under control. "How does Rainbow deal with these cockamamie things?", she asked herself now aggravated, "Gah!"

"Kendra usually just twist the knob on the bottom.", Nightwing said.

Applejack twisted the know on the mace and grunted with satisfaction when the wings, cowl and armor vanished.

"So what's your name little horse?", Nightwing asked extending a hand.

"Applejack!", AJ replied spitting on her hoof and shaking Nightwing's hand, "And I'm a pony, not a horse.

Nightwing chuckled at the similar gesture their worlds shared. "You can can call me Nightwing and this is Donna Troy."

"Nice to meet y'all.", AJ drawled in a friendly tone, "If that big hyoo-mohn was here to- oh no!" She activated the mace and flew off to Ponyville.

Rainbow trotted up. "So hyoo-mohns, anypony wanna cue me in on what's going on?" She spit on her hoof and held it out, "The name's Rainbow Dash, but you can call me awesome!"

Twoface walked up to the door of Fluttershy's cottage. "Beanbag or buckshot?", he said to himself. Flipping the coin it landed on good heads. "Beanbag it is." He loaded the beanbag shell into the shotgun and kicked the door in. Fluttershy gasped as she tried to run to the kitchen but Twoface shot her with the beanbag throwing her against the couch and knocking the wind out of her. He walked up holding up the coin showing off both sides. "Good heads and you get rubber bullets. Bad heads and you get buckshot." He flipped the coin into the air and Fluttershy's eyes became pinpricks as she watched it sail up then down. Catching it in his hand, the coin landed on edge. Twoface's eyes went wide, he flipped the coin and it landed on edge again. "No no no! It can't be on edge!" He flipped the coin again and again it landed on edge in his palm.

Discord appeared in a flash. "Oh my my my Mr. Dent. What's the matter? Can't make a decision with consulting the coin first? What a fascinating hang-up you've got there."

"Thank you thank you thank you!", Fluttershy said hugging Discord.

Discord patted Fluttershy on the head. "You may want to get that little blue ring out of your kitchen cabinet. A lot of ponies are going to need it." He smirked at Twoface still flipping the coin. "You know something about the law of probabilities? It means very little to the Lord of Chaos. But I shall for this time humor your little hang-up with your game of dual choices." He held up a bit showing off both sides, "Heads, I let you run away from here unscathed, tails and I make you my plaything for all time." He flipped the bit through the air as Twoface followed it through with his eyes. It landed on the floor showing an image of a hawk and a dove. "Ooo, I was hoping for Hawk and Dove!", he said clapping his mismatched hands.

"No no no! You cheated!", Twoface shouted.

Discord coiled around Twoface letting his forked tongue tickle his hear, "You see Mr. Dent, I always cheat. Especially when you hurt my friends. Now if you excuse me, I have to go see a clown. Oh and do watch out for arrows Harvey" He snapped his eagle talon disappearing in a flash of light as Hawk and Dove appeared.

"Dent!", Hawk snarled.

Twoface backed up drawing a pistol. He flipped the coin again and it landed on edge. Suddenly his hair stood end as sparks of electricity leapt off his back. He fell to the ground unconscious, the coin rolled from his hand and stopped on good heads. Red Arrow lowered his bow as Hawk and Dove hurried out. They quickly put cuffs on Twoface as Red Arrow walked up.

Fluttershy slipped the blue ring on her flight feather. The ring activated healing her bruise as it projected a blue body suit and mask onto her. Picking up the lantern, she flew out the door. She saw what was wrong with Twoface, when she projected blue energy at him, she found she couldn't fix him.

Scarecrow walked up to Golden Oaks library and knocked on the door.

"I'll get it Spike!", Twilight said walking up to the door. As she opened the door she said, "I'm sorry but the library isn't..." She froze seeing Scarecrow looking down at her.

Scarecrow jammed the syringes on his head into Twilight's neck injecting her with fear toxin. It took a few seconds for the toxin to take effect.

The world began to twist and warp around Twilight. Strange voices whispered and screamed at her. Bugs began crawling everywhere,on everything and on her. Her eyes became pinpricks as she didn't see Scarecrow but some monster with flaming eyes. As the monster reached for her, she shrieked and ran away huddling in a corner.

Scarecrow began walking towards Twilight laughing.

"Twilight? What's wro-hey creep!", Spike shouted as he ran at Scarecrow, chomping on his leg.

Scarecrow grunted in pain and kicked the little dragon off. He continued to walking to Twilight. As he reached for her she screamed and threw up a protective shield. He tapped a finger on his chin before he began knocking on the shield. "You've got to drop that shield some time little horse." He kicked Spike away again when he ran up.

Twilight shivered in fear at the monster with flaming eyes leering at her as she tried to scrape the bugs off her. She screamed in fear again.

Batwoman swung down from a tree hearing screaming coming from the library. Running to the open door she saw Scarecrow leering over Twilight, tapping on her shield. She quickly put on her re-breather, pulled out her grapple launcher and fired the claw latching it on his arm. She quickly reeled in the claw snatching Scarecrow towards her. She threw a punch connecting hard with his jaw. Scarecrow quickly quickly sent a spray of fear gas at Batwoman, but her re-breather protected her. Scarecrow tried to inject her with the syringes, but she grabbed his wrist and twisted his arm around dislocating his shoulder. Scarecrow tried to grab the re-breather off Batwoman's face and she did a rolling flip sending him out the door, she then ran out after him.

Spike hurried over to Twilight seeing her scared out of her mind and hyperventilating. "Twilight, are you okay?" He gently laid a clawed hand on her shield.

Twilight didn't see Spike, but a massive undead dragon roaring at her with flesh dripping off its flesh. "STAY AWAY MONSTER!", she screamed. Firing a blast of concussive energy, she sent Spike out the window. Sending off a spell calling for help she screamed, "Celestia! Luna! Anypony, HELP ME!"

As Scarecrow and Batwoman traded blows, they blast energy and Spike landing hard on the ground startled them. Scarecrow took immediate advantage of the distraction, knocked Batwoman's mask off and threw a grenade of fear gas. Batwoman covered her mouth and nose with her cape as she grappled out of the gas. Landing next to Spike she dragged the little dragon away from the expanding cloud of gas. Using the diversion he escaped.

Spike blinked awake and said, "What's mmmppphhh!"

Barwoman covered Spike's snout, "Don't breathe the gas, it'll drive you insane with fear." She picked up Spike and carried him away from the gas. Once the gas had dissipated she ventured over to the library and looked in the shattered window. She saw Twilight huddled in a corner. Waving Spike up, she said, "It looks like your friend got a nasty dose of fear toxin." She fumbled in her utility belt, produced two syringes and passed one to Spike. "These contain an antidote to the fear toxin. We need to give these to her or she may literally die of fear."

Spike's eyes became pinpricks. "She's not going to die is she?"

"Not if we can give her the antidote first. We have to get her to calm down enough so we can get her to lower shield and administer the shot. What's your friend's name?"

"Twilight. Twilight Sparkle.", Spike said, "Please don't let her die. She's my sister."

She smiled at Spike as she said, "I promise I won't. Now as soon as we get in there, I want you to spread out in case she gets past me. If she does, I need you to jab her with the needle and press down on the plunger."

Spike nodded.

As Batwoman walked in the front door she said calmly, "Twilight Sparkle, I need you to calm down. You're under the effect of fear toxin. I have something to help you, I just need you to lower your shield. Can you do that for me?"

Twilight didn't see Batwoman walk up, but a massive vampire bat with blood dripping off its fangs, it was saying, "I have come to gobble you up little pony. You're going to be so yummy!" Twilight screamed, "AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH! STAY AWAY MONSTER! I WON'T LET YOU EAT ME!" She fired a blast of energy that made Batwoman dive for cover.

Batwoman hid out of sight behind a bookshelf and gestured for Spike to do the same. She opened a channel on her communicator, "This is Batwoman to anyone who can hear me. I have a little pegasus-unicorn in the library that has had a dose of fear toxin. She has some kind of shield up and I can't get close to her. I need assistance, I also advise caution as she can project energy blasts."

In Canterlot all three princesses looked up sensing Twilight's call for help. Oracle was working on her laptop when she received the communique, she shouted from the room she was working in "I just received a transmission from Batwoman, she says that a Twilight Sparkle has been exposed to fear toxin and she can't get close to her to administer the antidote."

"Cadance, go!", Celestia shouted, "You might be able to get through to her!"

"I'll go too.", Raven said, "I may be able to get through her mind and get her to calm down enough to get her the antidote."

Bat-man rushed in and handed out syringes vials of antidote. Raven and Cadance took them.

Cadance prepared teleport.

"Prepare yourself, I've experienced victims of fear toxin before. Twilight Sparkle might attack out of fear.", Raven said to Cadance.

Cyborg, Red Robin, Pinkie and Derpy were the first to arrive at the library. Red Robin signaled for them to form a perimeter as Cyborg scanned the library. "Okay, I've got the locations of all three of them-wait, I've just picked up to new heat signatures. One is Raven, the other is a pony, bigger than Twilight Sparkle."

Cadance and Raven appeared in the library. Batwoman gestured for them to get into cover.

Cadance teleported next to Batwoman. "Are you Batwoman?", she whispered.

"Yes.", Batwoman whispered back, "And your name?"

"Cadance.", Cadance whispered, "I used to be her foalsitter and I'm married to her brother. I may be able to get through to her and give her the antidote Bat-man gave me."

"Hold for a minute and let me contact my teammates outside.", Batwoman whispered. She opened the comms channel, "Batwoman here, I have a Cadance here who says she's a family member and may be able to get through to Twilight Sparkle. Maintain a perimeter in case she gets loose." She gave the signal for Cadance to try.

Canance slowly walked out of cover and up to Twilight. "Twilight? It's me Cadance. I need you to drop your shield, I have something that will make you feel better."

Twilight didn't see Cadance but Nightmare Moon and she was saying, "Twilight Sparkle! You have failed. I will make the night last forever and then I will eat your soul!" "STAY AWAY NIGHTMARE MOON! YOU CAN'T HAVE MY SOUL!", Twilight screamed before firing a blast of energy the pushed Cadance back.

Cadance teleported back to Batwoman. "She thinks I'm Nightmare Moon and here to take her soul.", she whispered.

Batwoman gave Cadance a confused look before keying up Raven. "Raven, have you been able to get through to Twilight Sparkle"

"I've been trying, but her mind is literally drowning in her own fear", Raven said, "I don't know how much longer she has."

"Crap!", Batwoman snapped. She took out a flash pellet and a smoke pellet. She whispered to Cadance, "Do you think you can break her shield? We're going to have to rush her."

"Yes I can."

Batwoman opened the comms again, "Okay new plan everybody, I'm going to blind her with a flash pellet and disorient her with a smoke pellet. A soon as they go off, everyone rush her and try to hit her with the antidote." She gave a silent countdown with her fingers, then threw the flash pellet followed by the smoke pellet.

Cadance teleported and bucked into Twilight's shield shattering it. Batwoman leapt at Twilight with the syringe, but Twilight knocked her down with a concussive blast before teleporting up to the second story. Raven teleported behind her and jammed the syringe into her flank, but Twilight bucked into her sending her back into the wall the sprinted down the stairs. Spike sprung out and tried to inject the syring into her neck, but Twilight flung him away with her magic before bolting for the door. Batwoman fired her grapple claw into Twilight's hind leg and hung on. As Twilight drug Batwoman across the floor, Cadance grabbed Batwoman with her magic. Twilight was slowed down as she drug them both behind her. Pinkie dropped from a ceiling rafter onto Twilight's back and pushed the plunger still sticking out of her flank. Twilight bucked her off and continued to bolt for the door dragging Batwoman and Cadance. Batwoman reeled in the grapple claw taking herself and Cadance closer to Twilight. Cadance launched through the air, tackling Twilight and sat on her.

Soon the antidote took effect and the world began to go back to normal for Twilight. Staring up at Cadance she said, "Huh? What? Cadance, why are you sitting on me and why does it feel like something is stuck in my flank?"

Lex Luthor, Vandal Savage, Black Adam, Ras Al-Ghul, Gorilla Grod and the Brain teleported into the outskirts of Canterlot. As they began walking down the streets, Luthor waved his hand across a holographic display on his power and sent out several drones across the city.

Looking through the heads-up display Lex frowns receiving images from the drones. "It appears that Mr. Henshaw has ruined our little advantage for it appears the city has been evacuated."

"No matter,", the Brain chirped robotically, ", it will make our taking of this city easier."

Ras Al'Ghul rubbed his chin. "I don't think they would abandon the city so easily. They may have evacuated the civilians. Is there any sign of their military?"

Luthor quickly ran through the done telemetry. "No sign of any military equines."

Oracle was typing quickly on her laptop since she first picked up the Lex Corp transport signal. Soon she successfully hacking into the drones. She pressed a finger to the comms device in her ear, "I've got full control of the Lex Corp drones. Ten seconds until full takedown of their drones."

"Acknowledged.", Bat-man replied through his cowl.

Oracle activated the protocol on her computer. Ten seconds later the drones engines began to sputter erratically as their systems began to short out, some burst into flame, others exploded, the rest plummeted out of the air.

"Gentlemen, it seems the city isn't as abandoned as we first thought. Someone just hacked my drones.", Lex said in an annoyed tone.

"Ah detective!", Ras Al'Ghul said with delight, "It seems you have arrived ahead of schedule. Assassins! Confirm the presence of Bat-man!" Several assassins began sprinting across the city or leaping from rooftop to rooftop.

Celestia and Luna cast an invisibility spell concealing themselves, Changeling, Booster Gold, Starfire and Bat-man in the throne room. Five assassins came in through the broken and Bat-man gave a silent signal. Luna cast a spell blotting out all light descending the throne room into darkness, several blows were heard landing and when the spell was dropped Bat-man, Starfire and Booster Gold were tying up the unconscious forms of the assassins and carrying their bodies to nearby closets. Celestia and Luna recast the invisibility spell.

Ras Al-Ghul put a finger to the communication device in his ear. "Gentlemen, it appears the Bat-man has incapacitated some of my assassins. He knows for certain we are coming." Drawing the sword off his back and readying the old Luger in his holster he spoke into his comms device, "Assassins! Form a perimeter where we just lost contact with five of our brethren, the Bat knows we are here. We are just moments out from the palace."

As the group reached the palace, several assassins stood outside the fence gesturing towards the castle.

Waving a hand to the door, Ras said, "After you gentlemen."

"If you're so eager to get the Bat, why aren't you the first one through the door?", Black Adam asked.

"It's because of how well I know the Bat-man that I'm offering you to go first.", Ras replied calmly with an almost pleased grin on his face.

Amanda Waller sat atop one of the towers of the palace watching the group of super villains approaching the palace through a pair of binoculars as she relayed the information.

In the throne room the heroes and princesses formed up in a wide semicircle getting ready for the villains' entrance when they heard muffled arguing.

"They can't be serious!", Changeling said, "Arguing when they know that we're waiting for them somewhere."

Bat-man silenced Changeling with a gesture.

Outside the palace, Lex Luthor, Gorilla Grod, the Brain and Black Adam were arguing about who goes in first while Ras Al-Ghul sat watching with annoyed indifference.

"Gentlemen! Enough of this petty bickering!", Ras snapped, "We can argue about how this world is divided after we conquor it, not who goes first through a door!"

Lex tapped a small button on his gauntlet activating an energy shield. "I'll go first through the door to deal with whatever trick the Bat has for us. Agreed?"

The rest nodded in agreement except for the Brain who quipped robotically, "Affirmative."

Luthor kicked in the front door. He starred nonplussed at no signs of booby traps."Hmm, maybe the Bat's not here."

As they walked through the door, Ras Al-Ghul looked up at a Bat-scanner attached to a buttress and gave a small smile.

Seeing the Bat-scanner signal in his cowl, Bat-man gave a silent signal for the group to spread out.

As Black Adam went to kick the door in on the throne room a golden aura surrounded it and they massive double doors snapped open. Hesitantly they walked through, when the last walked through, the massive double doors slammed shut with a loud thud.

Ras Al-Ghul smiled confidently. "Princess, come out come out wherever you are! I'm here to make good on your claim to put my immortality to the test." He drew his old German officer's Luger from his holster as he looked around.

Bat-man gave a quick nod to Celestia who dropped her invisibility spell while Luna strengthened hers. Lighting the magic in her horn she said, "Did anypony tell you that it is customary to kneel before royalty?" She enveloped the five villains in a golden glow and telekentically forced then to their hands and knees then shouted, "Now!"

Luna dropped her invisibility spell and the group charged forward. The Brain unleashed electrokenisis bolts into Celestia knocking her into the wall and causing her spell to drop. Black Adam launched himself off the floor and flew at Starfire, their fists slammed into each othes face simultaneously sending them both careening backwards. Changeling transformed into a kangaroo and leapt over Gorilla Grod, then transformed into a donkey bucking his legs into his back sending Grod tumbling across the floor. Bat-man threw several flash pellets amongst the villains to disorient them.

In a cave in the mountains Rarity sat huddled over grasping the orange power battery in her forelimbs. She gently stoked it with a hoof and cooed over it. Around her were piles of cloth, sticks, leaves, rocks, gems and broken bits of carts. A hole opened up in the floor and several diamond dogs scrabbled out. "Get the shiny! Get the pony!", the lead diamond dog shouted. Rarity looked up her eyes glowing orange and shrieked, "Mine! Mine! Mine! All Mine!" She grabbed the diamond dogs in orange energy fields. "Mine!", she screamed as the sounds of cracking was heard.

In the throne room the fighting quickly devolved into a stalemate as neither side could gain a definitive advantage. Celestia dodge behind her throne as Ras Al-Ghul fired a quick shot at her before she fire a blast of concussive energy back. The back wall of the throne room exploded in a shower of rubble and dust as Lobo crashed through it on his rocked bike.

Lobo swung his hooked chain over his head and hooked Celestia around her rear hooves. He swung her around over his head as she screamed in shock. Flinging her off his chain, he sent Celestia crashing into Black Adam. Leaping off his rocket bike as it crashed into Starfire, he pulled out a cigar, lit it, laughed and said, "How can you throw a party and not invite the main man?" Pulling out his double barreled shotgun, he fire a green uranium shell at Luna who deflected with her shield than fired a shot into the chest of Luthor's power suit sending tumbling backwards. Reloading the double barrel, Lobo put it back in his holster. Black Adam lifted the semiconscious heap of Celestia off the and threw her Lobo. Lobo backhanded Celestia into Ras Al-Ghul. Holding up his hand, Lobo waved a challenge at Black Adam, "You want a piece of the main man? Come get some!"

Black Adam did a flying charge at Lobo who simply lifted up his booted foot kicking Black Adam in the face causing him to go completely upring. Lobo slung the end of his hook around Black Adam's feet and swung him over his head. He began thrashing Black Adam back and forth on the ground before slamming him into the floor leving Black Adam in a Black Adam-sized crater. Flicking his cigar ash on Black Adam's face, Lobo looked around and said, "Who's next?"

Ras Al-Ghul wriggled out from under the unconscious and groaning form of Celestia saying, "Gentlemen, I believe that we most beat a hasty retreat as it appears we haven't accounted for the unwanted distraction." Lobo laughed as Lex activated the teleporter and evacuated the villains. He looked around at the heroes and ponies, "So who wants to party with the main next?"

From outside a loud voice shouted, "SHAZAM!" Shazam flew in through the broken window and hurled Lobo through the wall. "Go!", he shouted, "I'll deal with Lobo!" He flew out through the hole in the wall after Lobo.

Luna charged up the magic in her horn. She teleported herself, Celestia, Amanda Waller, Oracle, Booster Gold, Starfire, Changeling and Bat-man out of the castle and to Golden Oaks library in Ponyville.

"So none of the monsters I saw were real?", Twilight asked with a shudder, "This fear toxin is some nasty stuff." She still remembered all the horrifying images she saw, she swore that she would never be afraid again.

"You were fortunate we managed to inject you with the antidote when we did or you could have literally died of fear.", Batwoman replied.

"Yeah princess, you were luc-AAAAHHH!", a dark blue flash of light startled Derpy causing her to accidentally fire a beam of heat vision simultaneously through the library wall and ceiling.

Luna, Bat-man, Booster Gold, Changeling, Oracle, Starfire, Amanda Waller and an unconscious Celestia into the middle of the library.

Twilight ran over. "Princess Celestia!", she shouted, "What happened to her?"

"Lobo!", Bat-man growled as he waved smelling salts in front of Celestia's snout.

Lobo bounced a few times across the ground before coming to stop in a trench that ended in a Lobo-sized crater. He sat up, shook his head and cracked his neck. seeing Shazam flying straight at him, he grabbed his cigar from his mouth. Seeing it was broken, he threw it onto the ground, "Now I'm mad."

Shazam And Lobo locked up in a grapple as they shoved each other through buildings sends the crashing down around their heads. Shazam threw Lobo upwards through the rubble high into the sky and through some clouds scarring some pegasi nestling on top. Shazam flew up after Lobo with a ball of lightning summoned around his fist. He punched Lobo first on the left side of his face, then the right side of his face, did a double foot flying stomp, drove his knee into his gut and shouted, "SHAZAM!" Massive lightning bolts slammed into Lobo sending him careening to the ground. Lobo crashed into the ground with such force that his body made a massive impact crater and set off a powerful localized earthquake. Mount Canter shook violently as several buildins collapsed and a massive avalance from the snow-capped peak poured down the side.

As Shazam flew down at great speed, Lobo raised his foot connecting with Shazam's face causing him to bounce across the ground and into a nearby partially collapsed building, causing to collapse the rest of the way. Lobo lifted himself up from the crater dusting himself off, stuck two fingers in his mouth and gave a loud whistle. Shazam burst from the rubble of the collapsed building and flew at Lobo. Two green uranium shell exploded against Shazam's face sending him tumbling backwards. Lobo reloaded his double barrel, put it back in the holster. Charging at Shazam, Lobo snatched him up by his cape and hurled him across the ground. Shazam reached out with his hand to stop his momentum, his fingers dug furrows in the ground. When stopped, Shazam prepared to charge, but Lobo pointed past him. Looking over his shoulder, Shazam saw at the last second the rocket bike slam into him launching him up into the air. Lobo jumped on the rocket bike, fured two more green shells into Shazam's chest. Grabbing Shazam by his ankle, spun him through air and slammed him onto the ground. Shazam laid groaning as he slipped into unconsciousness. Lobo pulled out another cigar, lit it, blew out some smoke, flicked the ashed on Shazam's face and said, "Don't mess with the main man." He flipped off Shazam's unconscious form and revved up the rocket bike speeding off.

***Ponyville***

The smelling salts made Celestia snap awake with a start. Reaching up with a hoof, she pushed the fouls smelling compound in Bat-man's hand away. “Ergh.”, she groaned, “Did a train hit me?”

“Just take it slow.”, Bat-man said, “Consider yourself lucky. Most who tangle with Lobo usually don't fare so well.” He waved the smelling salts in front of Celestia's nose a few more times. “Just take a few more whiffs to make sure the cobwebs are cleared.”

“Blech!”, Celestia said sticking her tongue out, “Why does it smell like moldy hay, rotten apples and the wing pits of a pegasus that haven't showered in a week, all mixed together in a sulfur pit?” She moved her head away from the smelling salts and stood up slowly, her legs wobbling. She looked around blinking the double vision away, seeing the assembled members of the Bat family, Titans and ponies. “How many of you hyoo-mohns are there?”

“That doesn't matter right now, sister.”, Luna said flatly, “All that matters now is that they're here to help.”

“Does anybody know if Shazam is alright?”, Sratfire asked, “The last time anyone saw of him, he was taking on to buy us the time we needed to get out.”

***Canterlot***

Shazam sat up from the crater he was in. His ears rang as the world spun around him. “I hope somebody got the number of that truck.”, he said propping his forehead on a hand. After several minutes the world stopped spinning enough so that he could think clear enough. Closing his, he began focusing his magic and sensed the heroes and alicorns several miles away.

Rising to his feet, he let the rubbery feelings in his legs dissipate before summoning lightning with a loud shout of “SHAZAM!”. His body merged with a massive golden lightning bolt, propelling him through the air.

***Ponyville***

A massive golden lightning bolt crashed outside the library, making every pony and person jump. A bolts of red energy shot out of Derpy's eyes, one went through several books on the shelves, setting them on fire, the burned another hole through the roof.

“Gah!”, Twilight shouted, ducking for cover. “No! No! No!”, she shouted rushing to the bookshelves to put the smoldering books.

“L-let me h-help princess!”, Derpy exclaimed running in a zig-zag to the nearest bookshelf. Sucking in air, she blew on the books to try and put them out. Several books flew off the shelves as others froze solid.

“GAH!”, Twilight screamed in a panic, snatching books outs of the air in her magic. “Thank you for your help Derpy, but please, just sit down before you break something else.”

“S-sorry princess.”, Derpy said. She plopped down hard on her haunches, the floorboards of the library creak and groaned, several of them broke, sending the gray-coated pegasus into the basement, causing several bookshelves to tip over.

Twilight ground her teeth as the ponies face-hooved and the heroes stared on in dumfounded disbelief.

Derpy crashed up through the floor, breaking another hole in it and made more bookshelves fall over. Twilight glared at Derpy with a crazed look in her eyes that could have turned a cockatrice to stone.

“Derpy!”, Rainbow shouted, “Unless you want Twilight to banish you to the moon, don't move, just hold perfectly still!”

As Derpy froze mid-flap in the air, Batwoman asked, “Is she always this much of a menace?”

“Derpy is just klutzy.”, Fluttershy said demurely, “Though she's usually not this destructive.”

“Y'all ain't seen nothing.”, Applejack said, “A couple-a years ago when th' town needed repairin', she kinda collapsed a chunk o' it by jus' sittin' down.”

“Maybe it would do all of us good if she waited outside.”, Celestia said pointing a hoof to the door.

Derpy nodded and gently walking to the door. Reaching out with a hoof, she accidentally ripped the door off the frame. She laughed sheepishly as Twilight's crazed look intensified and her teeth could be heard grinding loudly. Derpy quickly dropped the door and zipped out the door.

Shazam looked on bewildered before walking inside. “Do all you ponies have super strength or just the gray one?”

As Bat-man went to get up and go outside, Barbara stopped him, “Let me talk to her Bruce, I have a lighter touch than you when it comes to these things.” Barbara wheeled outside, stopping next to Derpy, who was sitting on the ground dejected. Barbara rolled up next to Derpy and extended a hand, “My name's Barbara Gordon, you can call me that or by my code name, Oracle. What's yours?”

Derpy extended a hoof to place it in Brabara's hand, missing, she grunted in frustration and closed an eye and gently placed her hoof in Barbara's hand for a hoof/handshake, “D-derpy Hooves.” She sniffled as a tear trickled down her cheek, “I-I'm sorry I keep breaking everything. I-I haven't been quite right s-since my accident five years ago.”, she turned head away, “Y-you probably h-hate me like e-everypony else.” She flicked another tear from the corner of her eye.”

“I don't hate you Derpy.”, Barbara said in a friendly tone, “Why do you think everyone hates you?”

“They're always saying 'Don't do that Derpy! Just sit down Derpy! Why did you guide the birds to the west Derpy?' B-believe it or not, I u-used to be one of the best fliers out there. At least as fast as Rainbow D-dash and t-twice as agile. T-then five years a-ago while I was riding in a-a wagon with my husband and my d-daughter Dinky, a wheel b-broke causing it to flip. A w-week later I woke up i-in the hospital, Other than a few sc-scrapes, Dinky was okay, but m-my husband never woke up.” She waved a hoof at her face, “My e-eyes were messed up l-like th-this and I wound up w-with this st-st-stutter. M-my sense of d-direction was also messed up.”

“I know what it's like being handicapped too.”, Barbara said lifting up her shirt, showing off the bullet wound scar, “I used to be a costumed vigilante called Batgirl and I fought against criminals alongside Bat-man. Then one day while I was in my apartment with my father, a dangerous psychopath called the Joker busted in and shot me, leaving me paralyzed.” She winked at Derpy, “But it's not all bad being in a wheelchair, I get to park my car nearly anywhere I want, I get to go to the front of the line at theme parks and I get the best booths when I go to restaurants. You and me bother aren't that different, we both suffered a serious injury that left us handicapped, but we found ways to be more than our handicaps.”

Derpy stared at the scar on Barbara's stomach in amazement and a new sense of self-respect, well one eye stared at the scar, the other eyes stared st the clouds.

Barbara asked, “Did you always have those powers, or did something happen to give you those powers?”

“N-no...”, Derpy answered, “I used to be a normal p-p-pegasus until this morning, Or was i-it last night?”

“Could tell me what changed to give you powers, please?”

“L-last night I heard a c-c-clatter on my nightstand.”, Derpy replied, “When I-I saw a sh-shiny gold rock. I-I put it under my p-pillow to give to Dinky in th-the morning. Wh-when I went outside this morning to play w-with mt daughter, I threw a b-ball to her, it sailed off into th-the distance an-and hit me in th-the back of my head.”

Barbara stroked her chin thoughtfully. “Do you think you could bring me that rock?”

Derpy nodded and flew off. Barbara had to duck her head as her red hair blew in wake of the gray pegasus. A few second later Derpy holding the glowing gold rock in her hoof.

Reaching into her backpack, Barbara took out a lead-lined box and a pair of tongues. “Hold still Derpy.”, she said plucking the gold glow rock in the tongues and dropping it the box, then sealed it. “Come on Derpy, let's go back inside, just take it slow and easy, we don't need any more damage done to the library.”

Derpy followed Barbara back into the library slowly. As she slowly sat down, several of the ponies glared at here and Barbara held up a hand to signal everything was okay. “I've been able to determine where Derpy got her powers from.”, Barbara said opening the lead-lined box, revealing the glowing rock.

“Is that...”, Bat-man said just before Barbara cut him off.

“Yes, it's golden Kryptonite.”

“So what does a shiny rock have to do with Derpy being stranger and having new powers?”, Rainbow asked, “Does that crypto-currency shiny rock thingy have anything to do with my sudden speed boost or Fluttershy's blue clothes or Applejack being able to sprout wings?”

Twilight facehoofed. “No Rainbow.”, she scolded, “Based on my observations and what...er...I'm not comfortable with calling you Changeling, especially after what happened after at Cadance and Shining Armor's wedding.”

“You can call me Garfield or Beast Boy if that's easier for you.”

“Thank you.”, Twilight said, “Based on what Garfield has told me, the speed force like the green is an extra-dimensional power. Am I right?”

“Yes...”, Garfield said, “...though I'm not a speedster, from what I was told by Wally and Barry, the speed force allows speedsters to partially phase out of reality so they can run super fast. As for me, I can tap into the green and it allows me to change my shape into almost anything or anyone, it allows swamp thing to control plants at will.”

“So are there anything else that could give crazy powers, like growing unbreakable claws or moving metal with their minds?”, Applejack asked.

“Wrong franchise!”, Pinkie chirped.

The superheroes looked at Pinkie in confusion while Twilight said almost nonchalantly, “Don't mind Pinkie. I learned a while back that if you want to keep from going crazy, don't ask too many questions.”

Luna cleared her throat, “So now that we know we're dealing with wanted brigands from thy world, is there a way we can get more knights from thy realm to help us?”

“If there is a way we can do a dimensional teleport to the Watchtower, I can get the Justice League to help us out.”, Bat-man said, “But I'd need to some equations and get access to star charts to locate the nearest pulsars and the current rate of galactic drift, I may be able to create a stable wormhole between dimensions to bring help across.”

“Well I'm not sure what a wormhole is, but I've read extensively on hypothetical inter-dimensional teleportation.”, Twilight said, “I'm sure Celestia and I could draw up the proper matrices based on Clover's work. Celestia, Cadance, Luna and I could combine our alicorn magic to power the spell. We could figure out a way to use Rainbow and Garfield to tap into the speed force and the green to assist in the dimensional teleport. Though unless somepony is skilled in dimensional travel, I can't be one hundred percent sure that whoever goes through won't wind up encased in solid stone.”

“I'm familiar with dimensional travel.”, Raven said, “Considering I come from a separate dimension from Earth and am familiar with dimensional travel. I could open a portal to the Watchtower. Whoever went through would have to carry the information so that Clark, Barry and J'on could create an accurate return portal.”

“I'll go.”, Celestia said, “If something happens that I wind up in solid rock, my immortal alicorn physiology will keep me alive while I break out or teleport out.”

“No sister, I'll go.”, Luna interjected, “Your wounds haven't fully healed. I know the works of Clover the Clever as well as you. If something happened to me, Equestria needs you not only to raise the sun and moon until Cadance or Twilight's magic fully matures, but also to guide our ponies.” She turned to Bat-man, “You and Twilight begin working on the equations, Celestia and I shall begin working on the spell matrix. Cadance you begin preparing whatever wards are needed with Raven.”

“You'll need my magic too.”, Shazam said, “Because it was granted to me by the great wizard Shazam and comes from the gods, it could be the jolt you need.”

Luna nodded.

“I'll begin seeing if I can recreate Flash's cosmic treadmill.”, Cyborg said, “Has your world invented the treadmill yet or will I have to build one from scratch?”

“I've got several broken ones in the basement!”, Twilight said, “You cannibalize the parts you need.”

“Wouldn't it be easier to repair a treadmill using the parts from broken ones than being a cannibal?”, Pinkie asked.

Twilight pressed a hoof between her eyes, “Pinkie, what I means is he use the parts from the broken treadmills to make what he needs.”

Pinkie blinked for a second, “Oh! Well why didn't you say so silly?”

Twilight sighed and rolled her eyes, as she went to say something, Applejack spoke up, “C'mon everypony, le's get outa here so they c'n get tuh work.”

After several hours of work Twilight and Bat-man had put the finishing touches on the equations, Celestia and Luna were finishing up the massive spell matrix in nearby field, Cadance, Raven and Shazam were finishing up on the wards, Cyborg was putting the final touches of the closest facsimile to the cosmic treadmill as he could.

Once everything was done, Bat-man took out a data pad with the equations and star charts on it and gave it to Luna. Nightwing wrote down a message, then passed it to Luna. Twilight wrote down a return matrix just in case, put it into a pair of saddlebags and passed them to Luna. Luna cast a protective spell one everything, then slipped on the saddlebags.

Luna stepped into the center of the matrix and began charging up her magic. Celestia, Twilight and Cadance took their places on the edge of the matrix, charging their magic. Rainbow Dash stepped onto the treadmill and Cyborg strapped her in so she wouldn't accidentally fall off, then wired up a console to it. Shazam took his place on the matrix, sending lightning across his body. Beast Boy knelt at his place on the matrix preparing to draw in the green. Raven sat cross-legged on the matrix, closing her eyes, preparing to meditate.

“This will feel weird.”, Raven said calmly.

“If it saves our subjects and the creatures beyond, we can handle weird.”, Luna said.

Soon power began crackling across the matrix as more and more power began pouring into it. Cyborg began adjusting the setting on the console, before turning the console around and shouting over the sound of the power crackling, “Rainbow! Make your vibrations match this amplitude!”

“I don't know what an amplitude is!”

Cyborg sighed before pointing to the screen, “Make the spikes on the bottom match the ones on the top!”

Rainbow nodded as her legs became a blur and her body began to vibrate.

As colors began to flicker in the center of the matrix, Cyborg checked the readings and shouted, “Just a little more power everybody!”

Every pony and human on the matrix gritted their teeth, as sweat began pouring down their whole body and veins began to bulge. Leaves, twigs and small stones began to levitate as the colors in the center of the matrix began flickering with intensity.

“Just a little more power!”, Cyborg shouted, “The portal is almost open!”

Every pony and person on the matrix began to groan in pain and exhaustion as they were pouring all their energy into it. Pinkie's man began to twitch in an odd frequency and she bolted over to the matrix before any pony or person could grab her. She began vibrating so quickly she looked like she was levitating off the ground.

“Thi-ii-ii-iss-sss fff-eee-eee-lll-sss fff-uuu-nnn-nnn-yyy!”, Pinkie said excitedly, her voice vibrating.

As all four alicorn's eyes went white with power, Luna vanished in a flash of rainbow-colored light and crackled of golden lightning. Every pony and person on the matrix collapsed from exhaustion, except for Pinkie, who was still vibrating.

Cyborg looked at the reading and began jumping up and down, laughing with delight. He ran over to the still vibrating Pinkie and snatcher her up, giving her a big wet kiss in celebration. “Pinkie!”, he shouted in excitement, “You did it! You gave us just enough power to open the portal!”

“I-I-I-I d-iii-iii-d?!” Pinkie exclaimed, her voice still vibrating.

“It's up to Luna now.”, Celestia said weakly, rising to her hooves, “Let's hope she makes it safe and sound.”

***The Watchtower: Earth's Orbit***

Superman stepped off the teleporter pad and walked over to the console where Martian Manhunter was sitting, data pad in hand, Supergirl walking behind him. At the console, Wonder Woman was already waiting for him.

“Ah Clark, did your searches turn up the same results?”, Wonder Woman asked.

“Yes it did Diana.”, Superman replied, “Metropolis, Gotham City, Central City and New York City all had the same strange machines with the same readings.” He laid the data pad on the console for Martian Manhunter to look over.

As Martian Manhunter began inputting the information from the data pads, a warning began beeping on the console. “Clark! Diana! Kara!”, he said sharply, “I've got an incoming energy signature matching the machines!” He activated the alert on the console, summoning every available league member on the Watchtower.

As a swirling multicolored orb began forming a few meters away on the deck, Superman, Supergirl and Wonder Woman took up fighting positions, preparing for the worst.

Flash ran up in a red streak. “This had better be good to pull me away from Call of-whoa that's different!”

Luna appeared in a flash of bright light. “I think we're going to be sick.”

Superman stepped forward. “Creature, do you come in peace?”

“Is this the Watchtower?”, Luna asked, “Art thou Clark, Barry or J'on?”

Superman took a cautious step backwards.

“We shall ask thee again. Is this the Watchtower? Art thou the knights known as the Justice league? Answer verily, aye or nay!”

“Yes you are on the Watchtower and yes we are the Justice League.”, Superman replied, “Now answer my questions. Who are you and what type of creature are you?”

“Can't you tell Clark?”, Supergirl said with a squee, “It's a horse! It even looks like Queen Moonlight from the cartoon My Little Horsey: Camaraderie is Sorcery! Only ya know, in real life!” She began to dance in place like a little girl, giggling and clapping her hands.

“Pony actually.”, Luna said with a slight scowl, “We are Luna, Princess of Equestria. We have come here to ask thou for thine help. Brigands from thine world have invaded our world and threaten not only our ponies, but all creatures beyond our borders.” Luna began to feel lightheaded. “Hyoo-mohn, stop spinning around. Thou art making us dizzy.” Her eyes rolled up in her head as she fainted.

Superman zipped over, catching Luna before she hit the deck. He scanned her with his x-ray vision.

“Is she...hurt?”, Supergirl asked.

“No.”, Superman replied, “She just appears to be exhausted. Other that her horn, wings and highly complex brain, she appears to be a very large pony, though I am sensing a strange aura that feels like...magic. J'on, come here and look in her mind to make sure she is who she says she is.”

Martian Manhunter walked over and began focusing his psych power. Closing his eyes, he slipped into Luna's mind. J'on J'onz found himself walking through Luna's dream.

“Creature! Who art thou and why hast thou intruded upon our realm?”, Luna challenged. J'on tried to resist as Luna manipulated the dream until they were both walking on the surface of Mars. Luna gasped as she watched the demise of the Martian society and the death of Martian Manhunter's family. Casting her eyes down, she said, “We are sorry. Please forgive us, we didst not mean to pry and makest thou experience again the loss of your kind and the death of thy mare and foal.” She sniffled. “We thought thou were an intruder.”

“It is okay Luna.”, Martian Manhunter said He manipulated the dream showing Miss Martian. “There is one other of my kind that still lives. Now could you please tell me what happened as to why you have sought out the Justice League?”

Luna manipulated the dream showing her chase Bat-man across the rooftops of Canterlot, then showed Hank Henshaw attacking, then showed several members of the Titans showing up to help beat Henshaw, then showed R'as Al'Ghul, Lex Luthor, Black Adam, Gorilla Grod and The Brain attacking, then showed Lobo showing up, then showing her teleportation to the Watchtower. After she finished, she said, “Go now and tell thy fellow knights what thou hast seen and that we need their help.” She then pushed him from the dream realm.

Martian Manhunter opened his eyes, taking in a deep breath. “She is who she says she is. It appears that the League of Assassins and the Legion of Doom have attacked her world. In an act of desperation, she came here for help.”, he said stoically, “It appears that the Bat family and the Titans have arrived ahead of us. There is a major complication, Lobo is there too.”

“Let's get her to the infirmary, though I'm unsure how we can properly treat a sentient alien pony.”, Superman said, “Contact Doctor Fate, Zatana, Swamp Thing and...”, a visible shiver ran up his spine, “...John Constatine.” He picked Luna up in his arms.

The console began beeping and Wonder Woman looked over at it. “Heads up! We've got an unauthorized teleport incoming!”

Flash, Supergirl and Wonder Woman took offensive position as the teleporter sizzled to life in a bright flash. Catwoman stepped off the teleporter, swinging her hips seductively as she walked forward. “Aw, a welcoming committee for me?”, she said slyly, “How purr-rrrr-fectly sweet.” She ran a finger seductively across Flash's chest. “What do we have here?”, she said pausing mid-strut, “Such a pretty and strange looking pony wearing such beautiful finery.” She slunk past the three heroes and over over to Superman, plucking the crown off Luna's head to admire it.

Wonder Woman grabbed Catwoman by the wrist, twisting her arm behind her back and plucking the crown away, before shoving her away. “This is a princess from a far off world and I'd prefer it if you didn't created an incident between our two cultures by trying to steal from their people's royalty. Now why are you here?”

Catwoman rubbed her wrist. “You almost broke my wrist.”, she scoffed.

“Be glad I stopped with almost.”, Wonder Woman said dangerously, “Now answer my question or I'll send you back to Gotham through the airlock.”

“Very well,”, Catwoman said slinging around Superman, dragging her finger across his shoulder, “I was helping Bat-man track down what happened to the League of Assassins. Now imagine my surprise when he didn't show up at our usual meeting spots. I also couldn't find any of those bird-boys. Imagine that, a sweet kitty like me unable to catch a bird. I also couldn't find that insufferable Batwoman, that poor traumatized Red Hood or the Commissioner's daughter. So after some prying, I managed to find out they had left this world and left a poor little kitten like myself without even so much a a saucer of cream. So what does a strange pony with such...”, she let a purr roll in her throat, “...beautiful adornments have to do with this?”

“If you must know, the League of Assassins and the Legion of Doom have invaded their world!”, Supergirl snapped.

Catwoman frowned for a moment, raising an eyebrow behind her mask. “Well I have to come along now. I couldn't live with myself if Bruce was hurt...or worse, in the arms of that wench, Talia.”

Luna woke up on a hospital bed with a thin blanket over her. She groaned placing a hoof to her head before noticing her shoes were gone. Giving a quick check, she noticed her crown and breastplate were missing too. Looking around, she saw a man with a shining gold helmet, a brilliant blue and gold costume with flowing gold cape sitting near the bed, looking the the spell matrix she had brought with her. She cleared her throat, “Hyoo-mohn! Where art our vestments?”

“My apologies Princess”, Doctor Fate said kindly behind his helmet, “Wonder Woman felt it was best to keep your belongings in her care as Catwoman tried to steal your crown while you were unconscious.”

“Maybe thou aren't as virtuous of a knightly order as we originally thought thou were if thou allow'st thieves to walk about unbidden.”, Luna quipped.

“Well it's true that Catwoman is burglar who has an eye for shiny baubles, Bat-man keeps her around for her ability to get into and out of place others cannot.”, Doctor Fate quipped.

“Hmm.”, Luna mused, “We have in the past employed rogues for similar means, though our sister and we have always kept a short leash on them.”

The sound of shuffling feet at the door drew bother their attention and they saw John Constantine leaning against the frame.

“Nice to see that her royal highness has decided to join us among the land of the livin'”, Constantine said popping a cigarette in his mouth, “Oi, if yer not gonna say then I will. Why in the bloody 'ell do ya speak in sixteenth century English like yer bleedin' Queen Victoria?”

Luna raised an eyebrow. “Is this Queen Victoria one of thine rulers? As for our speech, we find ourselves slipping into old Equish when we are stressed, angry or tired. Thou best be glad we don't speak in the Royal Canterlot Voice or thou shalt be cowed in our presence.”

“Fat chance.”, Constantine snarked fishing around inside his trench coat and pulled out a lighter.

Superman walked up and took the lighter away. “What about oxygen rich environment don't you understand John?”, he scolded, “Best be glad it was me that caught this time. If Diana had caught you again, she'd probably break your hand. Do you want to...”

“I know! I know!”, Constantine interrupted, “Start an uncontrollable fire. Blah blah blah!” He blew a raspberry while jamming two fingers upwards. “Go sling yer 'ook ya big blue boy scout.” Throwing the cigarette down, he walked off muttering under his breath.

Superman turned to Luna, his expression softening. “I want to apologize for Constantine's behavior. If it wasn't for the fact he's an expert occult investigator and exorcist, none of us would have called him on this.”

“So that foulmouthed jackanape is skilled in combating the dark magics?”, Luna asked.

Superman chuckled. “Jackanape. I'll have to remember that. Is see you're becoming acquainted with Doctor Fate?”

“Yes. He is a most respectable stallion.”, Luna said, “Are your other wizards as well mannered as he is?”

“Yes they are princess.”, Doctor Fate said, “Though you may find Dr. Holland's appearance to be a bit off putting at first, I assure he is quite intelligent and actually very pleasant to talk to, when he actually talks.”

“Very well, we shall talk to the wizards.”, Luna said. He stomach growled and gurgled causing her to blush slightly. “After we get something to eat.”

Superman smiled and gestured for Luna to follow him. “So if you don't mind me asking, what does an inter-dimensional pony princess eat?”

“Apples, apple fritters, apple pie, berries, hay, oats, pancakes, daisy sandwiches and cake.”, Luna said, “Though our sister usually eats the cake before we can get a slice.”

“We may not have much in the way of hay or daisies, but we do have some apples, oatmeal, pancake mix and maybe a slice or two of cake.”, Superman said with a friendly smile.

“Might we ask for how long we were unconscious for?”

“You were out for about two hours.”, Superman said, “Inter-dimensional teleportation must have been exhausting.”

“Verily.”, Luna replied, “We nearly exhausted our magic coming here. If it wasn't for the help of sister Celestia, Mi Amore Cadenza, Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Shazam, Changeling, Raven and Pinkie Pie, we would have not been able to breach the inter-dimensional medium.”

“Celestia, Mi Amore Cadanza, Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie.”, Doctor Fate mused, “Those are some unusual names.”

“Clark, Barry, J'on J'onz and John are most unusual names to us.”, Luna said mildly annoyed.

“Point taken.”, Doctor Fate said.

When they made their way to one of the kitchens, Superman took an apple out of the drawer to which Luna levitated it out of his hand, up to her mouth and took a bite, chewing it.

Superman and Doctor Fate stared wonder as she ate it seeds and all before levitating a pineapple and few bananas out of a nearby bowl eating them rind, peels and all.

Luna levitated a nearby napkin and wiped her mouth, before looking over at the two looking at her. “Did I do something wrong?”

“Um, no.”, Superman responded, “I've never seen anyone other than myself and Supergirl be able to eat like that.”

“Alicorn resilience.”, Luna said, “In the past during famines me sister and I have had to resort to eating things other ponies couldn't eat so our subjects couldn't so that there might be enough to go around.”

“Your speech has changed, does that mean you're feeling more relaxed?”, Doctor Fate asked.

“You would be surprised how taxing and stressful inter-dimension travel can be.”, Luna said, “If it suits you better, I can go back to old Equish if you want.”

“Whatever way you choose to speak is fine.”, Doctor Fate said.

Superman. Doctor Fate and Luna entered into a room where Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Martian Manhunter, Zatanna, Constantine, Green Lantern and Swamp Thing were gathered around a table.

Luna sat down and began talking, “I'm sure you're all curious as to why I'm here.”

“Oi, now she's talkin' like a bleedin' American.”, Constantine snarked, “Pick a lane and stick to it mmfmmfmmf!”

Luna covered Constantine's mouth with a dark blue aura, silencing him. Narrowing her turquoise eyes, she said, “You will be quiet and afford me the proper respect while I finish. If this were Equestria, I'd put you on cleaning duty with a tooth brush until it was clean to my standards and I have very exacting standards.” She released the field.

Zatanna raised her hand until Luna acknowledged her. “Could teach me that spell? We've all been wanting to do that since we all first met him. I bet it's a lot cleaner than Diana breaking his jaw.”

A round of laughs went around the table as Constantine glared, holding up two fingers and blowing a slow raspberry.

Luna went to speak, but paused raising an eyebrow, feeling a strange presence. “It seems there is an unseen presence here, possibly a specter.”

“That's Boston Brand.”, Hal Jordan said, “Say hi to the nice pony would you Boston?”

“Oh no! Not me again.”, Constantine said sharply, “Choose anyone but...” He went stiff for a moment before going slack, his eyes unfocused. “Greetings Princess Luna.”, an otherworldly voice came out of Constantine's mouth, “I am surprised you could sense me. Most don't even know I'm there unless unless they have been host to me at least once before. You may call me Boston Brand or Deadman if you prefer.”

“Greetings to you good sir Brand.”, Luna said, “If I may, might I ask you why are you here?”

“I have insights the living don't have.”, Deadman said, “I have been assisting Doctor Fate, Zatanna and John Constantine in interpreting your spell.”

“And what have you discovered?”, Luna asked politely.

“Whomever wrote that spell had extensive knowledge not only in magic, but also inter-dimension travel.”

“I should say so.”, Luna said, “It was transcribed by Princess Twilight Sparkle from a spell by Clover the Clever.”

Deadman mused for a moment. “I shall talk to you again in the future, maybe when we get to your homeland. It seams Constantine it screaming an obscenity-laden about wanting his body back. If I stay much longer, he won't be able to control his tongue and will likely say something we will all offensive.”

Constantine went limp for a moment. “Brr!”, he shivered, “Zog off ya dossy wanker! Why don't you possess someone else like Hal or Clark ya bleedin' ghost?!”

“Maybe it's because they don't risk an international or inter-dimensional incident by insulting visiting dignitaries or royalty by being unnecessarily being rude.”, Diana quipped.

“I'll show ya a bleedin' incident.”, Constantine grumbled.

Zatanna cleared her throat, “Can you tell us how we're supposed to get to your world?”

“In my saddlebags contains the information needed to return to Equestria, calculations, star charts and a spell matrix.”, Luna stated, “Though by seeing Doctor Fate looking over the matrix, I am safe in assuming that my things were searched?”

“Yes princess.”, Martian Manhunter spoke up, “We all felt it prudent for security reasons to inspect your belongings. I hope we didn't offend you.”

“No harm, no foul.”, Luna quipped, “I would have thought of you as lax if you had done any less.

***Equestria: Parts Unknown***

Lex Luthor, Ras AL'Ghul, The Brain and Vandal Savage stood around a console with dour expressions on their faces, with the exception of the brain, whose optical sensors gleamed with displeasure.

“Gentlemen, we must think of a new course of action.”, The Brain said in a robotic tone, “Lobo was an unforeseeable occurrence.”

“Why is Lobo even here?”, Luthor asked.

“He's usually a mercenary.”, Vandal Savage replied, “But he also likes to show up and fight everyone for fighting's sake.”

“It's a shame our initial strike was unable to bear any fruit on apprehending any of the element bearers or we could have control of their ultimate weapon and we can be sure are prepared for us now.”, Ras Al'Ghul said, “Every moment we waste is a further moment they have to prepare for us and a chance to call for help.”

As if on cue the was a bleeping on the console.

Luthor quickly typed on the keyboard pulling up a satellite image of Ponyville with a red blinking dot over it. “Gentlemen, it appears the equines have called for help.”

“Order the attack.”, The Brain said.

***Equestria: Manehattan***

Joker, Harley Quinn and several members of the Joker gang walk through the front door of a bank, the ponies inside look at them uncomfortably.

Harley points her shotgun at the ceiling and fires a shot, blowing a hole into one of the panels. “Alright ya mooks!”, she shouts, “This is a robbery. I want all ya's to lay on ya bellies with ya hooves on ya heads or blow them clean off! Capishe?”

The ponies fall to their bellies trembling. Two of the Joker gang members grabs the manager and drags him to the vault.

“Open it!”, Harley shouts leveling the shotgun at the manager's head.

After a few twists of the dials on the combination lock, the vault door unlocks with a loud “ka-shunk”. As the vault slowly swings open, a loud snap is heard amd the ponies in the bank disappears in a bright flash.

“Wha?!”, Harley exclaims looking around confused.

Joker stares laughing deeply as the vault door swings open. Pink cotton candy clouds with chocolate milk rain appear over the heads of the Joker, Harley and the Joker gang members.

Discord is in the vault, sitting on a throne made of stacked up bits. “Did anyone ever tell you have serious anger control issues, Ms. Quinnzel?”, he asks, “I thought you were a psychologist.”

Harley points her shotgun at Discord, who simply snaps his talon, making the shotgun go limp and floppy.

“What's the matter Harleen? Performance issues?”, Discord asks, “Happens to everyone from time to time. No need to be embarrassed.”

Harley shakes the shotgun a few time in disbelief as Joker laughs.She throws the weapon aside and pulls the baseball bat off her back.

“Oh goodie, baseball!”, Discord says. Snapping the digits on his lion's paw, he appears in the lobby wearing a pitcher's uniform. “Let's see if you can hit my screwball.” He pulls out a baseball with screws sticking out of it, does an over-exaggerated wind-up and throws the baseball.

As the baseball flies in a spinning, looping and zig-zagging pattern, Harley dives for cover.

“Aw poo!”, Discord says, “Here I was thinking you could be a great ball player.”

Harley stands up, blowing the hair from her face, with a grimace of anger.

As Harley starts to run at Discord, Joker grabs her by the arm and snatches her back, “Hold still for a minute, Harley!”

Harley glares for a moment. “But puddin'...” Her words stop when Joker looks at her sideways.

“You are certainly an interesting and jovial fellow.”, Joker says, “You're a riot. It's not many who can surprise me so.” He hops up on a counter, letting his feet swing. “So what can I do for you my good fellow?”

Discord floats in the air, coiling around Harley. “Well after looking at you with my own eyes, I must say I'm disappointed. Though you're chaotic, you're not the master of it.”, he says. He tickles Harley's nose with the tuft of his tail, causing her to sneeze. “But seeing you're an agent of chaos, I'll offer you a deal. There's this fellow who dresses up like a bat and is allergic to smiling.”

Joker grins as he steeples his fingers grinning. “Do go on.”

“I'll direct you to him as long as you promise not to harm a little yellow pegasus.”

Joker hops down from the counter, grasps his hands behind his back and crosses his fingers. “Of course old chap. You have my promise as a gentleman.”

“There's this town called Ponyville, the bat fellow is there.”, Discord says in a pleased tone, “Just follow the tracks and in about two days you'll get there.” he places his fingers at the corners of Harley's mouth, pulling it up into a smile. “You should smile more my dear. People might like you more.” Discord vanishes in a snap of his tail, leaving a brightly-colored feather boa wrapped around Harley.

Walking to the door of the bank, Joker gestures for Harley and the gang members to follow him.

Discord watches from a reflection, drumming his fingers. “Cross your fingers behind you back will ya? I invented the dirty double cross. Wait for the little surprise I have waiting for you.”

***The Watchtower: Earth's orbit***

Luna stood on the main deck looking over the gathered members of the Justice League. She made a mental not of each of them, Catwoman, Etrogan, John Constantine, Doctor Fate, Zatanna, Aquaman, Martian Manhunter, Wonder Woman, Deadman possessing the body of a currently depowered Hawkgirl, Swamp Thing, Green Arrow, Green Lantern, Blue Beetle, Plastic Man, Red Tornado, Flash, Hercules and The Wonder Twins. The two that seemed out of place were Alfred Pennyworth and Lucius Fox.

Luna looked over Alfred, who several utility belts slung across his shoulders, a pistol on his hip and a shotgun in his hand and Lucius Fox, who had a dozen portable factories and chemistry sets with him, folded up to look like suitcases. “I understand why they are coming, but why are you two coming?”

“I promised to always look after Master Bruce.”, Alfred said, “Nobody knows him better than I. My years with M-I-five shall proove useful. Besides I nobody makes a better cup of tea than I.”

“If Mister Wayne is over there, he's going to need me to make and repair tech for him.”, Lucius replied, “When this is all over, I can build the machine to get us all back. There may also be ample opportunity to expand Wayne enterprises, with your permission of course your majesty.”

Luna smirked for a second. “A loyal butler who served as a father and a loyal employee willing to go to the ends of reality for his employer.” She levitated a piece of chalk and began drawing out the spell matrix.

When she had finished, Luna said, “Alright everypony, gather around and lock forelimbs, this will be...a harrowing experience.” She looked to Superman and Supergirl, “Are the two of you coming?”

“We will be along shortly.”, Superman said, “I need to alert all remaining League members of where we are going, so they can better prepare for any criminals here.”

“Admirable.”, Luna said, “Alright everypony, hold on!” She lit the magic in her horn, sending the energy into the matrix. After several seconds the portal began to open.

***Ponyville***

The ponies and heroes had Metallo, Doctor Light and Two Face gathered up under a tree with magical fields restraining them. The three alicorns stood around the spell matrix, waiting for a sign that a new portal was going to open. A bright flash caught them all off guard.

“What happened?!”, Celestia shouted.

Oracle quickly typed on her laptop. “It looks like a Lex-tech teleportation!”

Another bright flash cause Bane, Black Adam and a handful of assassins to appear.

Celestia took an aggressive stance, wings flaring. “Keep watch over the matrix, I'll handle them!” She stepped forward. “Depart now and I can assure that you will leave unscathed!”

Bane stepped forward, cracking his neck and adjusting the dial on his glove. “I break you big caballito!” He slapped the button his chest sending venom through his body. He roared in triumph as his muscle mass increased.

Celestia pawed the dirt with a hoof, snorting. “Very well, if that's your wish.”, she said norrowing her eyes.

Bane and Celestia charged each other. They met with a loud crash. Bane grappled with Celestia, who steadily pushed him back with her greater strength. Rearing up, she flicked Bane away.

Black Adam teleported past Celestia, towards the matrix. Cadance shoved Twilight away and stood to face Black Adam. She reared up and struck her hard forehooves across his face. Black Adam staggered backwards and wiped his mouth, looking up to Cadance he smiled. He rushed towards Cadance, who threw up a shield to protect herself. Throwing a powerful punch, he shattered the shield and grabbed her in a bear hug. “SHAZAM!”, he shouted as multiple lightning bolts sailed out of the sky and slammed into Cadance.

Black Adam tossed the Twitching body of Cadance to the ground and turned his attention to Twilight. Twilight fire bolts of magic at Black Adam, who held up a hand blocking them, before snatching her up by the neck. Crackles of electricity ran along his fingers, making Twilight's body to twitch. Shazam slammed his fist into the face of Black Adam, sending him bouncing on the ground and Twilight through in air in a flat spin.

As Shazam and Black Adam locked up in a brawl, Twilight sailed through the window of the library. She bounced across the floor and fell through one of the holes accidentally made by Derpy. She fell into the basement, bouncing off the cabinet, dislodging the yellow ring and power batter as she crashed to the floor.

“Make your enemies fear you.”, the yellow power battery whispered.

Twilight slowly rose from the floor, and used her magic to put on the yellow ring.

As several assassins circled around Celestia, she snarled seeing Cadance laying unconscious on the ground and Twilight crash through the window of the library.

Power began to crackle across the matrix and Celestiansummoned her magic, created a bright flash of light, blinding the assassins. She teleported to the matrix and began pouring her magic into it.

Bane rushed forward, jacked on venom. “Oh no you don't caballito!”, he shouted and grabbed Celestia's tail, dragging her backwards slowly.

“Get off you ass!”, Celestia shouted and bucked her hind legs hard into Bane, sending him sailing away. She began pumping her magic into the matrix.

In a bright flash or multicolored light, Luna and the members of the Justice League appeared.

Seeing they had lost their advantage, the assassins dropped smoke bombs and fled under the cover of smoke. Black Adam knocked Shazam away, flew over and scooped Bane up, then vanished in a flash of lighning.

“Luna?!”, Celestia said, “Are these the hyoo-mohns to help us?”

“Aye sister.”
