Heroic teenages such as Hibiki Kuze (Devil Survivor 2), Yusei Fudo (Yu-Gi-Oh 5ds), Shinji Ikari (Neon Genesis Evangelion) and X (Megaman X) end up on new adventure in Equestria. What adventures await them? Read to find out!
A new jounery is ready to happen. Four heroes from four different worlds are brought into Equestria for an unknown purpose.
These four are Hibiki Kuze, Yusei Fudo, Shinji Ikari and X.
Not knowing how they got here, the four now live their lives with ponies and other creatures. But when a new threat comes to Equestria, the four heroes will have to team up to protect their new friends and Equestria.
It was just another normal day in Tokyo, ever since the defeat of the demons that invaded the country of Japan.
Hibiki Kuze was currently hanging out with his friends as they were glad that things were back to normal.
"Ah, its good to see that things are back to normal." Daichi said relieved.
"Yeah, we had been doing a lot while saving Japan from demons." Io added.
"I'm just glad everything's back to normal and nothing can go wrong." Hibiki said. But as soon as he said that, time seemed to stop around him as he looked around. "Um, what's going on here?"
As soon as he asked that, a portal appeared beneth him which made him fall inside, as he screamed upon falling all the way inside.
(In the Synchro Dimension)
It was another normal day for Yusei Fudo. Months had passed ever since he defeated the Paradox alongside Yugi and Jaden.
"Man, things seem so peaceful now." He muttered. Don't get him wrong, he WAS glad that things were peaceful, but he kinda wished that something exciting would happen.
Little did he know the qoute "Be careful of what you wish for".
As Yusei was busy riding his Duel Runner, he then then noticed that the screen on it was glitching and acting up for some reason.
Then suddenly he was somehow lifted into the air and started doing a barrell role as a portal appeared and began to suck him into it.
"This...isn't good." He said as those were the last words he said before being sucked inside.
(In Japan)
Shinji Ikari couldn't believe on what was happening around him. He was being clapped and congrandulated for. For the first time in his life he felt, wanted.
However, Shinji's happniess didn't last so long. Why you may ask? Well everyone stopped clapping which confused him.
"I-Is something wrong?" Shinji asked but no one responed. He was feeling nervous.
Soon everything went black as he then fell into a void while screaming.
(In a city)
X was now seen fighting in war. What war you may be asking? Well, ever since the Mother Elf became corrupted it made a lot of machines go haywire and started attacking civilions.
"But not on my watch." He muttered.
He had currently defeated twenty out of control machines. He sighed as he was able to do so.
Suddenly however everything started to blacken which confused the Maverick Hunter, wanting to know on what was going on.
Then he was soon seen falling into a void.
(In a forest)
Hibiki began to slowly wake up as he groaned and sat up.
"Ugh, what happened?" He muttered before looking around. "Ok forget about what happened, where the hell am I?"
He then stood up as he looked around. Suddenly he heard a thud as he looked behind him to see X who had landed as he looked around before seeing Hibiki and pointed his Mega Buster at him.
"Who are you?! And where am I?!" X asked with a stern look.
"Woah! Calm down! I'm just as confused as you are." Hibiki replied putting his hands up which made X lower his Mega Buster.
"Sorry about that." X aplogised.
"Its ok." Hibiki said with a smile. "But we need to-"
"WAAAH!" A scream was heard.
Hibiki and X turned to see Shinji on the ground groaning in pain. The two then rushed to help him up.
"Hey are you ok?" Hibiki asked.
"Y-Yeah..." Shinji replied. "W-Who are you guys?"
"Oh I'm X." X said before gesturing to Hibiki. "And this is...um..."
"Oh, I'm Hibiki Kuze." Hibiki finished for X. "And you are?"
"I'm Shinji Ikari." Shinji replied. "Um, do you guys have any idea on where we are at?"
"Not really." X replied with a shrug. "Both me and Hibiki found ourselves here."
"Aw man." Shinji groaned. "Just my luck."
"Hey, it'll be ok." Hibiki assured. "We just need to find someone to give us directions."
"Ok, but who?" Shinji asked.
"Maybe him?" X pointed as Hibiki and Shinji turned to see a portal appear and Yusei on his Duel Runner came out of it as our three heroes ducked while Yusei landed.
"Wow, I'm starting to get Deja Vu." Yusei said before turning to see Hibiki, Shinji and X. "Who are you guys?"
"Oh I'm Hibiki Kuze." Hibiki replied. "With me are Shinji Ikari and X."
"Hey." Shinji and X said as Shinji was a bit nervous.
"I'm Yusei, Yusei Fudo." Yusei said. "I don't suppose you guys know where here is?"
"N-Not really." Shinji replied.
"Yeah, just like you we just got dragged here." X explained.
"That means someone must've brought us here for some sort of purpose." Yusei said.
"Yeah but why." Hibiki said.
"Um...can we just focus on finding someone to give us directions on where we're at?" Shinji suggested.
"Good idea." X said. "We can't just stay in this forest all day."
"I can give you guys a ride on my Duel Runner." Yusei offered.
"Thanks Yusei." Hibiki said as he, Shinji and X boarded the Duel Runner.
"Its time to Rev It Up!" Yusei said as he drove off.
(Later)
It had been an hour ever since our heroes setted off to find a civilization to give out directions.
"We've been wondering for an hour." Shinji muttered. "We're never gonna find anyone to help us."
It was at this moment that X saw something up ahead.
"Guys look!" He said gaining the attention of the other heroes as they looked up to see what he was looking at.
They looked to see a purple coloured crystal castle in some sort of village.
"A castle!" Hibiki said in awe.
"If there's a castle, that means there is royalty there." Shinji said.
"Then let's hope that when we get there, they'll answer our questions and give us directions." Yusei said.
Soon our heroes stopped in front of the castle as they got off Yusei's Duel Runner. Yusei was the last one to get off since he had to take off his helmet.
Though once they got to the castle, they noticed that for some reason, it wasn't guarded which confused them.
"Why aren't there any guards?" Shinji asked.
"I'm not sure, but I think we're about to find out." X replied looking around cautiously.
"So is anyone gonna knock the door?" Yusei asked.
"I'll do it." Hibiki said as he walked to the door and knocked on it.
"Coming." Said a female voice. Our heroes entered a battle stance, ready incase it was a trap.
However once the door openned, their eyes widen as they looked down in shock.
In front of them was a pony. But not any pony. She was a purple Unicorn! And she also had wings! A Pegacorn?!
Soon the Pony broke the silence as she gave out a smile.
"Hello, my name is Twilight Sparkle." The pony said. "What's your name?"
Our heroes did the only response they knew what was apporiate.
Our heroes couldn't believe on what was happening. There was some sort of purple pegasus and unicorn hybrid and it can talk. Granteed, they have seen weirder things but they couldn't help but be shocked upon what was happening.
However their train of thought was cut off as Twilight spoke again.
"Um, are you four ok?" She asked.
"U-Um yeah, sorry about that." Shinji aplogised.
"Its ok." Twilight said with an understanding smile. "How about you four come inside. You must he tired as it seems you've been wondering.
As Twilight entered the castle our heroes looked at each other.
"Are you guys sure we can trust her?" X whispered.
"I'm not really sure how to answer that." Shinji whispered.
"But she seems so nice. And she's really cute!" Hibiki whispered which got the other heroes to look at him weirdly. "Um, forget what I said."
"Look, let's just remain cautious and follow what she does." Yusei whispered as the other heroes nodded at that.
"Uh, are you guys coming?" Twilight asked as her voice was heard inside the castle.
"Coming!" The heroes said before entering inside.
(Later)
Twilight was busy taking our heroes a tour around the castle. Hibiki and Shinji were amazed as they looked around in awe. X was rather intrigued as he kept getting a closer look at the structure of the castle. Yusei however, despite he was impressed on beautiful the castle looked, he still remained cautious.
Twilight then lead our heroes to a room.
"This is where my friends are at." She explained. "Would you like to me them?"
While our heroes were still cautious about saying yes, Twlight doesn't seem to hold any harmful intentions, so Hibiki spoke up for them.
"Sure." He said which got Twilight to smile as he openned the door before she and the heroes entered inside.
Inside our heroes saw some new ponies. One was a orange pony who had a blonde main a wore a cowboy hat. One was a cyan pegasus that had a rainbow coloured mane. One was a white coloured unicorn with a purple mane. One was a pink pony with a pink mane, though it was darker. One was a yellow pegasus with a pink mane. The last was a purple unicorn with a purple and cyan mane.
"Girls." Twilight said getting the other ponies attention. "We have some new guests. These are...oh, I didn't get your names."
"Oh, I'm Hibiki. Hibiki Kuze." Hibiki said.
"I'm Yusei. Yusei Fudo." Yusei said.
"I'm Shinji. Shinji Ikari." Shinji said.
"And I'm X. And its just X." X said.
"Well nice to meet you fellas." The orange pony said shaking X's hand. "The names Applejack."
"I'm Rainbow Dash!" The cyan pegasus said. "I'm the coolest and fastest pony in Equestria!"
"Hi there I'm Pinkie Pie!" The pink pony said. "Do you like parties? Because I gonna throw a big surprise party!"
"A pleasure to meet you darlings, I'm Rarity." The white unicorn said battling her eyelashes.
"I-I'm...Fluttershy..." The yellow pegasus said as she whispered the last part but the heroes were able to hear it.
"Oh, and I'm Starlight. Starlight Glimmer." The purple unicorn said.
"Ok, is that all of you?" Yusei asked.
"Oh no, there's someone else you need to meet." Twilight said.
"Um, who?" X asked.
"Hey guys, I'm back with the papers." A voice said.
Our heroes turned to look down in shock. In behind there was a small purple like lizard with green spines. But our heroes knew what it was.
"DRAGON!" X yelled summoning his Mega Buster and aimed it at that drake who backed away in fear.
"X PLEASE STOP!" Twilight pleaded as X lowered his Mega Buster. "He's my number one assistant."
"Well you never mentioned about Dragons living here." Yusei said.
"They don't." Rainbow Dash said. "This is Spike. He's the only acception because he was raised by Twilight."
"Oh." X said disummoning his Mega Buster and kneeled down to Spike. "Sorry about that, no hard feelings?"
"Nah, its ok." Spike said shaking X's hand.
"So, what brings you four here?" Rarity asked.
"Well we were looking for someone, or in this case...somepony?" Shinji said as Twilight nodded in response. "To give us directions on where we are at."
"Oh you're in Equestria, to be more spersific, Ponyville." Starlight replied.
"Um, what is Equestria?" Yusei asked.
"Glad you asked Yusei." Twilight said with a smile. "Equestria is the country of the world where Ponies live."
"Country?" X said. "So Ponies aren't the only beings living in this world?"
"Correct." Twilight replied. "There are Dragons, Griffons, Changelings, Yaks, Hippogriffs and much more."
"Wow! That's so cool." Hibiki excalimed
"Ok another question, how come you're the only pony in this room with wings and a horn?" Yusei asked.
"Oh, I'm a Alicorn." Twilight explained. "Alicorns are a sign of royalty."
"So does that mean?" Shinji asked.
"Yes, I'm a Princess." Twilight replied. "I WAS a unicorn but I was able to solve and corrected a one thousand year old spell."
"So Unicorns can become a Alicorn if they achieve a huge magical feat?" Yusei asked to which Twilight nodded to. "So, are there any other Alicorns?"
"Yes. There are the two rulers of Equestria. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. Who have the power to raise both the sun and the moon." Twilight explained. "My sister in law Princess Cadencs is also an Alicorn as she rules the Crystal Empire alongside my brother. My niece is also a Alicorn."
"Ok, this is starting to sound like something from a kid's TV show." X whispered to Yusei.
"True, but we need to have some information." Yusei whispered back.
"So has there been like any evil here?" Shinji asked.
"Unfortuently, yes." Twilight said. "But we where able to defeat the villains and ensure harmony to Equestria. Any other questions?"
"I got one. Why do you have tattoos on your flanks?" X asked.
"X!" Yusei, Hibiki and Shinji yelled.
"What?" X said. "You guys want to know that as much as I do."
"Oh, these are our Cutie Marks." Twilight explained. "These represent a Pony's talent. They don't appear when a Pony is born, they have to be earned by finding a talent."
"Yup, this does sound like a kid's TV show." X thought.
"So do Ponies only get Cutie Marks?" Yusei asked.
"Yes." Twilight said. "The chance of our creatures getting them is very slim."
"I see." Yusei said.
"Um, why are your Cuties Marks glowing?" Shinji asked.
This confused the ponies for a moment before they looked to see that their cutie marks were indeed glowing.
"The Friendship Map is calling us." Applejack said.
"Friendship Map? What is that?" Shinji asked.
"Oh, it call us to go solve a Friendship Problem." Rainbow Dash explained.
"Yup, kid's TV show." X mentally sighed.
"Would you like to see it?" Twilight asked.
"Sure. Count us in!" Hibiki asked.
Then our heroes along with the Mane 7 and Spike rushed to the Friendship Map room.
Our heroes were walking to a room with the Mane 7 and Spike. They then entered inside as they see the Map. Our heroes looked to the Mane 7 as they were looking at the map in shock.
"I'm guessing something new has happened to the map?" Yusei questioned.
"Yes." Twilight confirmed. "It seems that when we were away on our mission the Map expanded."
"Wow, those are all the places we went when we left to save Equestria!" Applejack said.
"What sort of places?" Hibiki asked, clearly interested.
"Ugh, this horrid town where we were almost sold!" Rarity replied annoyed pointing to the said town on the map.
"Sheesh." X muttered.
"The pirates!" Rainbow Dash said seeing a flying ship. "They were awesome! Uh, once they decided not to throw us overboard."
"Well I heard that's how pirates are." Shinji muttered.
"And Mount Aris!" Pinkie said bumping Applejack. "Ooh! Starlight, did you know we made seashell necklaces for allllll...lllllll the seaponies?"
"I... you... really?" Starlight asked stunned.
"She seems to have no idea on what happened." X whispered to the other heroes.
"Maybe something happened." Yusei said.
"What about that Pony? The one that attacked Canterlot?" Starlight asked.
"A pony was also in on the attack?" Hibiki asked.
"Yes, her name is Tempest." Twilight replied. "I invited her to come to Ponyville, and she wanted to spread the word of the Storm King's defeat! And share what she learned about friendship."
"Still sounding like a kids' TV show." X muttered.
"I hope not! Fluttershy sternly said. "I've had enough life threatening adventures, thank you very much."
"Hm, she kinda reminds me of someone..." Shinji thought.
Then Pinkie brought a tape measure and measured the room.
"How many friendship quests do you think we need to go on before we have to expand the throne room?" She asked.
"We can't do it all alone." Twilight said firmly.
"Sure we can!" Pinkie said. "We just need to knock this wall down, get some paint..."
"No. I mean, the world is full of so many different creatures who know nothing about friendship." Twilight said. "We need help if we're gonna teach them all about friendship. Lots of help."
"Perhaps." Rarity said agreeing with Twilight. "But where does one go to learn about friendship?"
"Here!" Twilight said pointing to a spot by Ponyville. "They can all go here! Because we're gonna open a school!"
Twilight then turned to look at the heroes.
"Yusei, Hibiki, Shinji, X, can you help us by being some of our first students?" She asked.
The heroes looked at each other before looking back at Twilight.
"It depends on what happens to us when we join your school." X stated.
"Well, there'll be a place where you be able to sleep at, and you can make new friends." Twilight replied with a smile.
The heroes then looked at each other.
"Well, we don't have a way to get back home." Yusei said.
"And we need a place to stay at." Shinji continued.
"Then its settled." Hibiki said before looking at Twilight. "We'll be your first students."
"Great, now come with me." Twilight said. "We need to talk to Princess Celestia about the school.
"Gotcha." Yusei said.
(Later)
Twilight, Spike and our heroes were now at a school as they entered inside. While walking inside, the heroes noticed that young unicorns were learning about magic.
They then enter a room where they saw a white alicorn. This Alicorn was way bigger than Twilight as she was taller than X, Shinji and Hibiki but was about the same height as Yusei. She had a flowing rainbow mane as he also wore a golden tiara with a purple gem in it. The heroes now knew this was Princess Celestia.
Celestia then saw Twilight.
"Twilight, its a pleasure to see you again." She said with a smile before looking to see the heroes. "And I see you made some new friends."
"Yes, these are Yusei, Hibiki, Shinji and X." Twilight said.
"A pleasure to meet you your majesty." The heroes said as they bowed.
"No need to bow." Celestia said with a motherly tone as she approached the four heroes. "Any friend of Twilight's is a friend of mine."
"Wow, thanks Celestia." Hibiki said.
"Also, sorry about bowing." Shinji aplogised.
"No need to aplogise." Celestia assured before looking at Twilight. "So what brings you here?"
"Well ever since the Friendship Map expanded, we need to spread the magic of friendship far and wide." Twilight explained. "So I've been thinking of making a school for teaching Friendship."
"I think a school of friendship is a wonderful idea, Twilight!" Celestia said. "I'll help at any way I can."
Twilight wrote some notes while obversing a classroom next to them.
"I just have a few questions. She said. "What time should school start each day?"
"It really d..." Celestia tried to say but was cut off by Twilight.
"What's the ideal length for class? Do you test regularly?"
"Oh, well, that's..."
"What about class projects?"
"That's a very..."
"Assigned seating? Open seating?"
"Is she always like this? X asked in a whisper to Spike.
"You get use to it." Spike replied.
"Or is that... too unstructured?" Twilight asked again.
"Oh, Twilight." Celestia said. "You are my star pupil. If anyone knows how to run a school, it's you."
"There's a big difference between attending a school and running one." Twilight pointed out.
"I agree with that." Hibiki said. "It's not like there's a rule book to follow on how to run school."
"Actually, there is." Celestia said. "The EEA guidebook is very specific about how to run a school."
"The EEA?" Twilight said confused. "I've never heard of that. Should I have heard of that?!"
"Of course not, you've never run a school before." Celestia replied. "The Equestria Education Association is a board of learned ponies that oversee every school in Equestria."
"Even your school?" Spike asked. "But you're you."
"I guess not even a Princess can do what she likes." Yusei commented.
"Correct Yusei. Espacially when it comes to shaping young minds." Celestia said. "The EEA ensures that whether it's unicorns studying magic, pegasi learning weather, or earth ponies researching agriculture, all schools are held to the same high standard. They'll need to approve your plan before you can move forward."
"Okay, Spike, guys, looks like we have a presentation to make." Twilight said.
"Hah, after everything we've been through, how hard can it be?" Spike smugly asked.
"Why do I feel like it won't end well?" Shinji muttered.
(Later)
Shinji was right on how bad it'll be as he, the other heroes, Twilight and Spike were now in a darken room with 10 ponies. Despite the fact there were ponies, the heroes felt uneasy.
"I'm gonna go with "really hard"." Spike whipsered as he was hiding behind 10 books stack on each other with Shinji.
"I knew it!" Shinji muttered with fear.
"Twilight, say something." Yusei said feeling more uneasy.
"Uh, hello." Twilight said remaining calm. "My name is..."
"Princess Twilight Sparkle." A firmed elderly unicorn with green eyes and a black mane and seems cold hearted said. "I am Chancellor Neighsay. Equestria owes you a great debt. But princess or no, we expect you to do things by... the... book!"
He then magically lifts the book in front of place of him and brought to Twilight. She brought it up and reads through the pages.
"I think you'll find my curriculum meets all your requirements, Chancellor." Twilight said remained positive and magically brought the 10 books to each council pony. And Neighsay read through his.
"And can we trust you to follow through this plan?" He asked. "Will you leave the school unattended to gallop off on your ' adventures'?"
"My journey beyond Equestria showed me firsthoof that the treats out there are greater than we imagined!" Twilight replied as the other EEA members whispered to each other. "If we want to keep our land safe, and create a friendlier tomorrow, we need to teach the Magic of Friendship far and wide."
"A school for ponies to learn how to protect themselves?" Neighsay said.
"Uh, more like respecting differences and communicating." Twilight corrected.
"Like, that's what a school is meant to be right?" Hibiki asked.
Neighsay look to his other members and they nodded in agreement.
"The EEA concurs. Every pony should be prepared to defend our way of life." Neighsay said. "So, if your work is in order, provisional EEA approval is granted."
Twilight and Spike looked at each other happily while the heroes clapped. Glad that the school was approved.
"We will need to observe your school up and running before it can be fully accredited." Neighsay said.
"Then please, join us for Friends and Family Day." Twilight said believing to be the best time. "It'll be perfect time to see our progress!"
Neighsay stamped the file with the EEA symbol.
The heroes, Twilight and Spike walked out of the room.
"Well it looks like the school is ready to be built." X said.
"So how long until the school will be made?" Yusei asked Twilight.
"Well, according to the drafts, I would say four weeks." Twilight replied checking through some drafts with her magic.
"That quickly?!" Shinji asked in shock.
"What's wrong?" Spike asked.
"Well buildings aren't really built that quickly." X replied. "And judging by the drafts, this school should take about months to be built."
"I see." Twilight commented. "But don't worry, the school will be done faster than you think. In the meantime, you can rest at the castle of friendship until the school is finished."
"That sounds good to me." Hibiki smiles.
"And thanks for letting us stay." Yusei thanked.
The six then headed back to ponyville while the school was now being made.
After finding out that the Friendship Map had expanded Twilight decided to build a school to teach friendship far and wide.
Soon our heroes along with Twilight and Spike to canterlot as they meet Princess Celestia who explains about the EEA and on how they decide schools should be run.
They soon arrive at the EEA and meet Chancellor Neighsay who soon agrees to the opening of the School of Friendship.
It had been four weeks later. And now the school has finally been built at the waterfall right next store to Twilight's castle. The heroes were impressed as the school was finally built at the time she said it would be built at.
Things were going well, until...
"It's too much. Rainbow Dash said. "Too much!"
Well, let's see what they're up to.
"Ugh, you think so?" Rarity asked who was now in a teacher's dress. "I had hoped that dressing the part would make me feel the part!"
"Not your dress!" Rainbow Dash said flying up to her face. "This! Us! Teaching?! They're gonna think I'm an egghead!"
"Calm down Rainbow, it can't be that bad." X assured.
"Besides, the students are gonna love my confetti cannon class." Pinkie said rolling in her party cannon. "It's gonna be... a blast!" She was then shot out.
"Wow!" Hibiki said amazed.
"Not bad." Yusei said impressed.
Meanwhile, Fluttershy was practicing her teaching with a white bunny, 2 birds and a ferret.
"Um, hello there. I'm your teacher. I hope you enjoy class. But if you don't enjoy it, that's okay, too." She said as the birds and ferret left while the bunny hit himself.
"Its ok Fluttershy." Shinji assured. "I think you did great."
Fluttershy smiled at that.
"I don't know about all this." Applejack said unsure.
"It's going to be fine." Twilight reassured reading the rule book. "Everything about this school just feels right."
"See? If Twilight isn't stressed, you've got nothing to worry about." Starlight said.
"And you're sure you want us to be teachers?" Applejack asked. "In classrooms?"
"And us to be students?" X asked.
"The EEA is very clear about how schools should be run." Twilight replied showing them the book. "We have a huge responsibility, and I need you all to do this by the book. That means no cannons in class, Pinkie."
"Aww, not even a teeny cannon?" Pinkie asked bringing out a small cannon the size of penny and could fit in one.
"How did she get a cannon that small?" Hibiki asked.
"I think that its best we don't question about it." Yusei replied.
"I know it's not some big adventure against the forces of evil, but this could be the most important thing we've ever done." Twilight said. "I can't run a school of friendship without my best friends! Can I count on you?"
"Of course you can, darling!" Rarity replied.
"Call me Professor Egghead. Rainbow Dash said. "I'm in."
Then the school rings for the very 1st time which got everyone's attention.
"First day at school!" Pinkie screamed. "So many new ponies!"
"About that, one thing I forgot to mention." Twilight said opening the doors with her magic. "It's not just ponies."
A few ponies entered the school, and there was a dark orange dragon, a blue colored Griffon, a young yak, a changeling and a light pink Hippogriff.
"That was unexpected." Pinkie said surprised as well as the the others.
"You can say that again." X commented.
The ponies and new arrivals were looking around the school as Rarity watched in amazement not expecting this many students.
"Oh, students certainly travelled from far and wide to attend our school!" Rarity said impressed.
"Princess Celestia helped me reach out to all the kingdoms." Twilight explained. "After all, friendship is something that needs to be shared with every... creature."
"Everycreature?" Shinji asked confused.
"I think it works well." Hibiki said with shrugg.
Twilight then went up to greet the soon to be students of the School of Friendship
"Welcome to the School of Friendship! She announced. I'm your headmare Twilight Sparkle. Please follow Counselor Starlight to sign in and get your class assignments. Then we can show you your living quarters!"
Twilight then turned to the heroes.
"Why don't you all go make some new friends." She said.
"Ok, let's go!" Hibiki said running off.
"Hey! Wait for us!" Yusei, Shinji and X said running after him however they got splited up.
X was looking around until he then met a sand green coloured colt with a cutie mark of three sea turtles.
"Oh hey, I'm Sandbar." The colt said. "You're a student here too?"
"Kinda." X replied. "I'm X. Just X."
"Well nice to meet you X." Sandbar said. "Wanna hang out?"
X shrugged and agreed as the two walked off but Sandbar then bumbed into a blue griffon.
"Whoa, sorry!" He said. "I'm Sandbar and with me is X. You a student here too?"
"No, I thought I'd just randomly stand here and assume any ponies would walk into me." The Griffon said sarcastically and blows his feathers on his head straight.
"Geez, rude much?" X thought.
"GALLUS!" Shouted a voice.
The Griffon now mention by name Gallus walks over to a elderly Griffon who coughs.
"Grandpa Gruff?" Rainbow said surprised to see him. "What are you doing here?"
"Flew all the way from Griffonstone to introduce Gallus." Grandpa Gruff answered gesturing to Gallus who looked up at Rainbow Dash and flew up to her.
"Rainbow Dash, right?" He asked. "Glida told me about you. You're a teacher? Huh. I thought you'd be... cooler."
That shocked Rainbow.
"BURN!" X thought.
Then the door slams open, showing a yak with a royal attire.
"PONIES!" He shouted.
"Prince Rutherford!" Pinkie yelled.
"This Yona Yak." Prince Rutherford said introducing Pinkie to the young yak with long braids. "She come to pony school. Hah, make it better."
"Yak can't wait to meet ponies and tell all about Yakyakistan!" Yona said excited and ran, but trips on her braid and falls over. Hitting the wall, and Pinkie caught a small tree in a pot and the tarp.
"Are you ok?" X asked helping Yona up.
"Yona is ok." Yona replied before giving X a confused face. "Um, who are you?"
"I'm X." X replied with a smile.
"Yak happy to meet you X." Yona said with a smile. "Does X want to know about Yakyakistan?"
"Eh, why not?" X replied. "Though first let me take you someone where you can destroy things, ok?" Yona nodded at that. "Great, let's get going."
Meanwhile a blue dragon was seen dragging a smaller orane dragon.
"The dragons are better than this!" The orange dragon said before getting free from the blue dragon's grip. "Why am I here?"
"Because as dragon lord, I'm ordering you to be here!" The blue dragon said before noticing Spike. "Hey, Spike! Come meet Smolder."
"Great to see you Ember!" Spike ran up and hugged her.
"I assume you know her well?" Yusei asked.
"Right." Spike replied. "Ember this is Yusei Fudo. Yusei, this is Dragon Lord Ember."
"I take it that you rule over the Dragons?" Yusei asked shaking Ember's claw.
"Yeah." Ember replied. "My father Torch was the previous Dragon Lord but I was able to complete a task and became the new Dragon Lord. Um, with the help of Spike of course."
"Huh, interesting." Yusei commented.
"Anyway, enough about me, come and meet Smolder." Ember said. "She'll be a student here."
Yusei and Spike looked to see Smolder but then ended up getting surprised and confused looks.
"Um, which one is Smolder?" Yusei asked.
Ember was confused until she looked behind her as her eyes widen in shock which confuses Smolder until Smolder sees next to her was a tan colored dragon and appeared to be shy.
"Ocellus!" A tall changeling with antlers appeared. "What did we talk about?"
The dragon then turned into a light blue Changeling with red wing covers.
"I told you, stay in your own form." The bigger changling said firmly. "It's the polite thing to do. Sorry, she's shy."
"Its ok." Yusei assured. "I know by experience. Anyway nice to meet you, um...?"
"Oh I'm Thorax, Leader of the Changelings." Thorax replied holding out a hoof for Yusei to shake.
"I'm Yusei Fudo, but just call me Yusei." Yusei said shaking Thorax's hoof.
"So, what exactly are you?" Smolder asked examining Yusei. "I never seen a creature like you before."
"Oh, I'm what's called a human." Yusei explained. "And the reason why you wouldn't see a human here because I come from another world."
"Huh, that makes sense." Smolder said. "But where do you come from?"
However before Yusei could explain, a pink hippogriff was behind Ember and Spike as she looked up.
"What is that?!" She said excited before flying to Ocellus who panics and turns into a pony, and hides under Fluttershy's mane.
"Um, that's not odd." Shinji said.
"No way!" The Hippogriff said getting a closer look at Ocellus. "I didn't know ponies could into... um... what are you?"
"A changeling." Thorax said.
"Ponies can turn into changelings?" The Hippogriff asked with a excited face.
"No, but changelings can turn into ponies." Fluttershy replied.
"Huh, that's confusing!" The Hippogriff said.
Then a adult Hippogriff appeared, and Ocellus hid under Thorax now a changeling again.
"I am General Seaspray, of her Majesty Queen Novo's Navy." The adult Hipoogriff introduced. "I would like you to introduce the Queen's niece, Silverstream."
"This place is amazing!" Silverstream said. "I've spent most of my life in a coral reef, underwater. I was a Seapony, but now I'm a Hippogriff. Long Story."
"Wow! Nice to meet you Silverstream." Hibiki said shaking Silverstream's claw. "I'm Hibiki Kuze, but just call me Hibiki. And with me is Shinji Ikari."
"U-Um...hi." Shinji lamely said.
"Nice to meet you two!" Silverstream said excitely. "But um, what are you?"
"Oh we're humans." Hibiki replied. "And no ponies don't change into us and we don't change into them but we do a lot of other things."
"Wow really?!" Silverstream said excited. "Say, do you want to be friends?"
"Sure. Let's be friends." Hibiki replied with a smile.
"Yay new friend!" Silverstream cheered and hugged Hibiki before nuzzling him as Hibiki chuckled at that. "Wait a sec, IS THAT A YAK?!"
"Yes it is!" Hibiki said. " And she's with X! You wanna go meet them?"
"Yeah!" Silverstream said flying off as Hibiki followed her.
Shinji then looked to see Ocellus still hiding under Throax as he went to check up on her.
"Are you ok?" He asked.
"U-Um...y-yeah..." Ocellus nervously replied.
"Nice to meet you." Shinji said. "I'm Shinji Ikari, but just call me Shinji."
"I-I'm Ocellus..." Ocellus replied.
"You feeling nervous of coming here?" Shinji asked as Ocellus slowly nodded in reponse. "Well in all honesty, I'm also nervous being here."
"Really?" Ocellus asked.
"Yeah, I come from another world, and when I first got here I was actually scared, but I made some new friends who showed me that it was gonna be ok." Shinji replied.
"U-Um..., do you w-want to be f-friends?" Ocellus asked.
"Sure." Shinji smiled. "I'd like that."
This got Ocellus to smile back.
"Thank you so much supporting the grand opening of our school!" Twilight announced. "I hope you'll all join us for Friends and Family Day to see the amazing progress your students are making!"
Everyone cheered of that.
"Then it looks like school's in session!" Twilight said to herself.
"And all we need now is a musical number." X thought. Little did he know, it WILL happen now.
Soon the heroes and students walk down the halls to their classrooms, and each the Mane 5 taught a class. The next morning, they were back in class. Each of started doing there own thing, Rainbow doing trust falls, Pinkie with party cannons, Fluttershy teaching animals and bringing some of her animals friends. And Rarity a sewing lesson, and Applejack showing her applebucking.
But Twilight has caught each of them, and tells to go by the rule book. And soon the heroes and students were getting upset and bored, even her friends. And it appears that Twilight might be following the rule book a little way too far.
"Wait, hold on! Not like that! Just a second!
I'm not sure if that method's approved
Let me take a look - yup, right here in the book
Come on! We just got in the groove!
Can't mess up, can't afford a mistake now
We are shaping young minds to ignite
Do it like it says in the book
Now make sure you're doing it right
There's not an equation on how to have fun
The students look bored now - oh, what have I done?
Our heroes were currently seen walking in the halls with the six students. You see after what happened, they were feeling really bored so they weren't really in the best mood.
"Is this what boring is?" Silverstream asked. "Am I bored?"
"This is what boring is, Silver." X answered her.
"Ugh, please." Smolder groaned. "These are the heroes of Equestria?"
"Not really sure because we've only know them for about four weeks." Yusei explained.
"Though, it is a lot of time to know them." Hibiki said as Yusei shrugged.
"Listen, these ponies saved all of us from the Storm King!" Sandbar reminded them.
"How, by boring her into surrender?" Gallus asked sarcastically.
"I guess they can't say "Death" in this world." X whispered to Shinji who nodded in response.
"Well considering how peaceful this world is I'm not really surprised." Shinji commented.
"Our teachers are a little different than I expected." Ocellus said.
"They're not that bad." Shinji said.
"Ugh, pony school waste of time!" Yona complained. "Yak school teach how to braid yak hair! Braiding yak hair is best!"
She then tripped on her braids and rolled into Smolder.
"You ok Yona?" X says as he ran and helped up Yona who nodded in response."
"Is there anything in Yakyakistan that isn't the best?" Smolder asked with annoyed look.
"Yes!" Yona quickly replied before realising her mistake. "Wait. NO! Yaks best."
"No claws, no wings, no fire." Smolder said invading Yona's personal space. "What is it exactly you're proud of?"
"Whoa, cool it!" Sandbar said, as he could tell its getting tense "No need to harsh Yona's love for her heritage, kay?"
"Yeah, everyone should be proud of their heritage." Hibiki said.
"Aw, are we not being sweet and friendly enough for you two?" Gallus asked sarcastically before glaring at Sandbar and Hibiki.
"Wow, rude much?" X muttered while sweatdropping.
"That was sarcasm, right?" Silverstream asked. "Cause you weren't being sweet or nice?"
"Everything just has to be exciting to her..." Shinji said sweatdropping.
"Maybe dragons and griffons are just too tough for friendship". Smolder said as she and Gallus did a fist bump.
"Yaks tough, just not nasty." Yona said glaring at Gallus.
"Who you calling nasty klutz?!" Gallus said.
"Okay, break it up!" Rainbow appeared and getting between them. "BREAK! IT! UP!"
Applejack lassos Gallus as Starlight pulls up Yona back with her magic.
"What is going on here?!" Starlight asked.
"Just a friendly discussion about the magic of friendship amongst friends." Gallus replied sarcasticly.
"Everypony... I mean, everyone go to your next class!" Applejack said firmly as the students left. The heroes were about to leave but Applejack stopped them. "Not you four. Tell me what happened?"
"Well we just got out from Rarity's lesson and it made us feel stress." Yusei explained. "We were trying to have a normal conversation but as you saw, things got out of hand."
"I can't believe it, fights breakin' out when they're supposed to be learnin' friendship?" Applejack said.
"Things definitely aren't going as by the book as Twilight planned." Starlight said.
"That's because we're terrible teachers!" Rainbow said. "Face it: this school isn't gonna work."
(Later)
The heroes and other of the mane 7 met up with Twilight at her office, but they were talking at the same time and Rainbow showed a drawing her with her cracked open.
"I get it, things are getting off to a rougher start than expected." Twilight said. "But it's okay!"
Spike then climb on to her desk and went up to her face.
"Who are you and what have you done with Twilight Sparkle?" He asked as Twilight pulls him away with her magic.
"Every school in Equestria follows these rules." She said bringing out the book again. "As long as we do too, we'll be fine."
"Maybe we should... try something new?" Starlight suggested.
"The EEA will be here this afternoon for Friends and Family Day!" Twilight said. "They need a school that follows their guidelines!"
"Look, I understand this is important to you Twilight." Yusei began. "But you're making this place seem less of a school and more of a prison."
"Yusei!" Twilight gasped in shock. "What makes you say that?!"
"Well, considering that fact we're right here complaining to you." X replied.
"Can't you just change the rules a little bit?" Hibiki asked.
"No. We have to make sure to use the exact guidelines the EEA wants us to follow." Twilight replied.
"Even if those guidelines aren't working?" Fluttershy asked.
"Well then, we have to try harder and make sure they do." Twilight said firmly.
The heroes and the rest of the mane 7 were unsure of this, and Twilight was starting to sound like a EEA member. But before any of them could refute the school bell rang.
"Another morning, another chance to inspire our students!" Twilight said as the heroes and girls soon left with sad and annoyed looks.
(Later)
Meanwhile Sandbar was on his way to class but then he saw Smolder and Gallus heading the opposite direction off their class which confused him.
"Hey! Professer Dash's class is this way." He said, pointing the right direction.
"Where are you going?" Ocellus asked as she, Yona, Silverstream, Hibiki and Shinji appeared before gasping.. You're not...skipping, are you?"
"That's exactly what we're doing." Smolder said fist bumping Gallus.
"But friends and family is-" Silverstream tried to say.
"Is after class." Gallus said cutting her off. "Relax, this is just a quick...mental health break."
Ocellus, Silverstream and Yona looked at Hibiki and Shinji.
"What do you two think?" Ocellus asked.
Hibiki and Shinji thought about it. While they would get into trouble for skipping class, the days of school were nothing but torture. And since it would only be once, they decided why not?
"Ok, but let's make sure its quick." Shinji said.
"That sounds legit!" Silverstream said before looking at Smolder and Gallus. "We're in!"
"I guess I'll tag along too." Sandbar said with an uneasy look. "Make sure you don't get into... trouble."
They began to head down the hall, but when they got to a turn they heard a familar voice.
Ocellus then turns into Rarity just as Fluttershy appeared.
"Oh my!" Fluttershy said seeing them. "What are you all doing? Aren't classes that way?"
"Ah... A generosity field trip, daaaaarling." Ocellus said pretending to be Rarity. "I'm taking the students to the lake to look at our divine reflections."
The others were completely shocked. Both of her turning into Rarity, and it's probably working.
"Oh, that sounds nice!" Fluttershy said. "Have fun!"
As Fluttershy leaves, Angel was suspicious off what's going on.
When they were gone, Ocellus turns back.
"Great! Now we can get out of here." Hibiki said as he and the others ran off.
"I take back everything I said about you!" Smolder said. "That was cool!"
"Thanks!" Ocellus said and realize something. "Wait, what did you say about me?"
(Meanwhile)
Rainbow Dash entered her classroom with a tired look.
"Hello class, we-" She stopped mid-sentence as she looked in shock to see that Yusei and X were the only ones there. "Where are the others?!"
"We're not sure." Yusei replied.
"Yeah, we were the first ones here and no one else showed up." X explained.
"Well we got to go look for them!" Rainbow shouted. "Twilight said the EEA would be here this afternoon!"
Realizing the situation, Yusei and X followed Rainbow to find Hibiki, Shinji and the students.
(Later)
Sometime later, Twilight and Starlight were at the courtyard.
"You sure sticking to the book is gonna work?" Starlight asked.
"My friends can handle anything." Twilight reassured. "They'll have these problems turned around before we know it."
"Problems?" Neighsay asked stepping out of a portal behind them.
"Chancellor Neighsay! you're here!" Twilight said surprised.
"Yes. And you seemed unprepared." He said. "If there are problems..."
"Problems? Ha! Of course not!" Twilight said acting calm. "We can't wait to show you around!"
(Elsewhere)
Meanwhile, Hibiki, Shinji and the six students were at the lake hanging out.
"And that's why Griffons breathe fire when we get mad." Said Gallus.
"They do not!" Silverstream said. "Wait! Do they? No! Really?"
"Griffons just full of hot air!" Yona said as everyone laughed at that.
"And yaks are actually good at jokes!" Smolder said "How about that?"
"Yeah, it was pretty funny." Hibiki said before sighing. "Now this is the life. No school stressing us, just peace. Perfect peace."
"You said it." Smolder sighs. "A dragon's life."
"What are dragons good at?" Ocellus asked.
"Yeah? What'd you guys do?" Shinji asked.
"Competition!" Smolder answered and flies up. "Who's up for a race?"
That sparks the others interest though Shinji was a bit relucant to agree onto it.
(Meanwhile)
Rainbow Dash was with Yusei and X searching for the others but no sign of them.
They soon accidently run into Twilight and Starlight who were showing Neighsay around the school.
"Rainbow Dash!" Twilight said surprised. "Why aren't you in class teaching Yusei, X and the others?"
"Because the rest of my students are gone..." Rainbow Dash tried to reply but stopped as she saw Chancellor Neighsay looking up at her. "Somewhere else! Doing a loyalty lesson! And, and I was just going to grab, uh... this pencil! Because I need it. Whatever they are! Which I know, 'cause... I'm the teacher!"
"I see!" Twilight said, laughing nervously. "Well, Chancellor, we have other classes, we can just..."
"Let's follow this professor." Neighsay said. "I'm quite curious about this lesson in loyalty."
Rainbow then knows that she was in trouble.
(Elsewhere)
Hibiki, Shinji and the students were racing as Yona almost tripped, but Hibiki, Shinji and Sandbar caught her.
"Of course, we want to instill a sense of loyalty towards others. We encourage acts of generosity and kindness."
Then Gallus lifts Sandbar off the ground and flies of, Silverstream and Smolder lifted Yona as well. And Ocellus turns into a large dragon and lifts Hibiki and Shinji up.
"Figured we shouldn't be the only ones enjoying the view." Gallus said.
"Wow thanks!" Hibiki said with a smile.
"Oh..." Shinji said, looking at the sky he and others were flying through in amazement.
"Waaaah! Yak non best at flying!" Yona cried.
"And appreciation for the value of laughter"
"Flying is best!" Yona said now enjoying it.
"Congratulations, Yona!" Silerstream said "You are officially the weirdest thing I've seen before!"
"What do you say, Ocellus?" Smolder asked. "Can you be weirder that a flying yak?"
Ocellus smiles and shapeshifts as the others starred in awe.
(Meanwhile)
Twilight and Starlight are still giving Neighsay a tour as Yusei, X and Rainbow Dash followed them.
"... and to always be honest in any situation." Twilight finished.
"Honesty is imperative." Neighsay said getting suspicious. "Princess, are we going circles?"
"Uh, look at the time!" Twilight said bringing out a watch. "We'd better head to the lake for Friends and Family Day. I'm sure all the students and faculty will be there."
And the six walked outside.
(Later)
Outside everyone is having a good time. And getting to know one another. But then Ember sees something.
"What is that?" She said pointing ahead.
They saw Yona being carried by Silverstream and Smolder, Gallus carrying Sandbar, but Hibiki and Shinji were on some sort of ant-eater insect hybrid.
Ponies began fleeing for their lives of what they saw was coming to them.
"Ah! The school is under attack!" Neighsay said covering his head.
"Snap out of it!" X shouted shaking him. "Everything is going to be fine!"
Among the chaos, Gallus accidentally drops Sandbar. And he crashes into Seaspray, Rutherford and Thorax. Then Silverstream, Yona and Smolder fell down crashing into a booth. And a cake hits Grandpa Gruff in the face. Then Ocellus lost control and crashes into the school, causing a tower falling down. But Hibiki and Shinji were there to make sure she landed safely.
Yusei and X then ran to their friends.
"Is everyone alright?" Yusei asked as they nodded.
"Then can you explain to us on why you weren't in class?!" X asked sternly.
"Uh, maybe skipping class wasn't the best idea?" Silverstream lamely replied.
"You guys skipped class?!" Yusei and X yelled.
"Look, I know it was wrong of us to do so, but we were stressed." Hibiki said.
"Y-Yeah, we didn't mean to worry you guys." Shinji said.
"Well we're just glad that none of you are hurt." X said.
"Though," Yusei began as he and the others looked at the damage. "I can't say the same for everyone."
"How dare you?!" Neighsay said furiously. "This act of aggression against ponies..."
"I'm so sorry, Chancellor." Twilight tried to explain. "We clearly had some students get a little carried away."
"Those are students?!" Neighsay asked in disbelief as he pointed a hoof to the heroes and the said students. "But you said you were opening this school to protect Equestria! To defend ponies from... dangerous creatures who don't have our best interests at heart!" He pointed to Thorax, Seaspray, Rutherford, Ember and Grandpa Gruff.
"My school teaches for all of us to work together through friendship." Twilight said.
"Then do you know these creatures won't take what they have learned here and use it against us?" Neighsay asked.
"Friendship isn't just for ponies!" Twilight said.
"It should be." Neighsay stated coldly.
"Unicorn thinks yaks no need friendship?" Rutherford said in disbelief. "Maybe yaks no need pony school!"
"Well, perhaps you should return to YOUR kind." Neighsay stated coldly.
"Your kind?!" Ember said in disbelief before becoming furious. "Smolder, let's go!"
"Wait Smolder..." Yusei said.
"Forget it Yusei." Smolder said. "But even though we never talked much, you're an awesome friend. Even by dragon standards."
Smolder then flew off after Ember.
"Queen Novo will want to hear of this!" Seaspray said leaving.
"Well this place seemed lame anyways!" Grandpa Gruff said following his lead.
"Silverstream," Hibiki said holding Silverstream's claw. "Please don't go..."
"I'm sorry Hibiki." Silverstream said sadly. "B-But I have to go back. But I-I enjoyed the time we spent t-together. I'll never forget that. Thank you for being my first human friend."
"Yona don't go." X said. "We're friends..."
"Yona don't wanna leave X..." Yona said sadly before hugging X. "But Yona have to go home now. Yona will not forget X."
Silverstream, Yona and Gallus then followered their elders.
"It's fine." Thorax said despondently. "We know not every pony sees us the way you do. We're used to it."
"Wait Ocellus..." Shinji said.
"I'm sorry Shinji." Ocellus said. "But Thorax is right. Though if it makes you feel better, I wanna thank you for giving me confidence to be at the School Of Friendship. I'll treasure that memory forever."
Ocellus and Thorax then flew away. Shinji fell to his knees as he had tears in his eyes. Hibiki kneels to Shinji and hugged him as the heroes were sad of losing their friends. Twilight was angry as she then walked to Neighsay with a glare.
"Princess Celestia helped me reach out to all the kingdoms!" She said. "And when she hears that you closed the school because..."
"Because you failed to meet the EEA standards?" Neighsay said cutting her off.
"What?!" Twilight said shocked.
"Irresponsible teachers, students skipping class, endangering ponies!" Neighsay said. "Your school is a disaster! Perhaps if you had higher standards for who was admitted, this could have been avoided! Regardless..."
He then pressed his badge, and magically made a huge chain and the door was lock by a magically lock and chains.
"By order of the EEA, I am shutting this school...DOWN!"
"Oh no..." Twilight said in despair.
(Elsewhere)
In a forest, we can see something moving in the dark.
After the classes our heroes and the students were stressed out and a fight nearly breaks out.
Later our heroes and the rest of the mane 7 try to tell Twilight that the rules are stressful but she won't listen.
Having a enough of it, Hibiki and Shinji join the six students to skip class leaving Yusei, X and Rainbow Dash to look for them.
At the same time Chancellor Neighsay arrives to inspect the school.
Things soon take a turn for the worse as Family Day was ruined as Chancellor Neighsay finds out about the six students inhabbiting the school and shuts it down.
Right now, we are seen at a forest as we see a hooded figure, waiting for someone.
We then see a unicorn with green fur, a ginger orange mane and a cutie mark with a lady came by as she had a camera around her neck.
"Is it done?" The hooded figure asked.
"Yes, its done." The unicorn said.
The unicorn used her magic to lift pictures which were revealed to have pictures of the mane 6.
"You did good...Chrysalis." The hooded figure said.
The pony then smirked before her body then changed into a changeling. However her body was black, her manebwas silky and she had holes in her legs. This was Queen Chrysalis. The former Queen of the Changelings.
If you want to how she got those pictures, it started a day after the school of friendship was officaly openned.
(One week ago)
It was a peaceful day, and Twilight and the others were in her office. Waiting for a photographer to appear, and the heroes were with them.
"I've been planning this retreat for weeks, and we're already 10 minutes behind." Twilight getting impatient. "Where is that photographer?!"
"Relax, Twilight." X assured. "She's probably just a little lost in the halls."
Then suddenly, the photographer barged in with a panicked look.
"I'm so sorry!" She cried. "Can you forgive me? I don't expect you to forgive me... Forgive me?" She smiled.
Twilight groaned.
"Of course." Starlight said. "I'll help you set up your-"
"Princess Twilight, thanks so much for this!" The photographer suddenly approached her. "The Canterlot Historical Society is thrilled to document the friendship work your teachers do! Let me just pretty you all up!"
And then she pulled a strain of hair from Twilight's mane. And then Fluttershy, Pinkie, Rarity, and removes a strain on Applejack's hat. And then plucks a strain from Rainbow's tail.
"Ow! Hey!" Rainbow glared.
"Don't want a single hair out of place, do we?" Said the photographer. "This is for the history books! Now.." She then took a photo of them, and was done.
"Well, that's that! Bye!"
"Waaaait!" Pinkie stopping her. "You forgot Starlight, Hibiki, Yusei, X and Shinji! They need a picture, too!"
"'Kay!" The photographer said.
She snaps a photo of them.
"Now I'll get out of your manes. I know how busy you are."
She was soon gone, but Yusei somehow felt unsure about her.
"You okay, Yusei?" Twilight asked.
"I don't know." He said. "Something about her seems off."
(Right now)
We are now in the present as the hooded figure was placing pictures of the mane 6 onto the trees.
"There." He said. "Now to get started."
"Now for the last time," Chrysalis began annoyed. "Will this actually work?!"
"And I told you it will work...IF YOU STOP ASKING ME LIKE AN IMPATIENT CHILD!" The hooded figure snapped which made Chrysalis step back in fear and nodded as the hooded figure went back to work. "Its simple to make clones of ponies. All I need is a picture of the pony along with a piece of their mane and their cutie mark."
The hooded figure motioned Chrysalis to fire at the trees which she did as she made symbols of the mane 6's cuties marks.
"So, why are we doing this again?" Chrysalis asked which made the hooded figure groan annoyance.
"You fool." He began. "According to you, these six ponies are connected to the Elements of Harmony. The most powerful weapons in Equestria. Since these will be identical clones to those ponies they will be able to use them aswell."
"So that means I'll be able to stop Twilight and her medlesome friends?" Chrysalis asked with a hint of hope.
"Yes. But should things go downhill I have a backup."
The hooded figure pointted to a bed that held a red haired young man who wore a purple suit.
"Whatever it takes." Chrysalis scrowled. "Starlight Glimmer must pay. She stole my hive and turned my subjects against me! So I'll destroy her friends as she watches, and then, I'll destroy her!"
"Very well." The hooded figure began. "You know what to do."
"With the Elements under my control, I'll build a new hive of Earth ponies, Unicorns, and Pegasi, and I will rule as Queen once again!" Chrysalis shouts before she then zaps the 6 trees, and the beam connects to all of them. And then the trees glowed with green cracks, and then they peeled back. And soon copies of the Mane 6 appeared.
(Meanwhile)
It had been a few days ever since the school of friendship was closed. Everyone was sad about. The heroes were sad since they lost their friends. Hibiki and Shinji stayed in the room they were allowed to sleep in and wouldn't come out.
However, the most distraught was Twilight who was in her room in a fort of pillows with the lights off, and sad music was playing. Then Spike, Yusei and X came in to check on her.
"Um, Twilight? Are you ok?" X asked only to get a response of a mix of a whine and groan.
Yusei then turns the record off and he then grabs a pillow showing Twilight's face and some tissues were by her. Using her magic, Twilight brought the pillow back covering her face, clearly not in the mood to be seen.
"Looks like she's still depressed of the school's closing." Yusei said as X and Spike nodded in agreement.
"Ugh. Look on the bright - sure, the EEA closed your Friendship School , but now you've got time to do other stuff!" Spike said climbing on Twilight's bed. "It's like being on vacation!"
Then Twilight got up throwing the pillows off and Spike. "A failure vacation! I'm supposed to be the Princess of Friendship, and all I did was make enemies with Equestria's allies, upset my friends and get my school... unaccredited! There is no bright side!"
She then flops down on her bed. And blows her nose.
"Well that went well." Yusei muttered sarcasticly.
"Okay, then. We're gonna then back up." Spike said with a smirk. "Operation Cheer-up is a go!"
Rainbow then flew in and open the currents. But Twilight just covered her face with her wing.
"Come on, Twilight!" Rainbow said in a brightful mood. "You can't sit around in the boring dark all day!"
"Exactly!" Applejack said walking in with the others. "What you need is a double dose of Granny Smith's apple mash!"
Applejack brought out a spoon with some mash, Twilight peeks through her wing but wasn't in the mood for that.
"Well that didn't work." X muttered.
"Whenever I'm sad, a hug from Angel Bunny always makes me feel better!" Fluttershy said.
Angel pokes out of her saddlebag, and Fluttershy gestures to hug Twilight. Angel shrugged and went to give Twilight a hug, he pulls her wing back and hugs her. But it didn't work and made him sad.
"Oh!" Fluttershy brought the sad rabbit back in her bag. "Uh... Maybe it's just for me."
"And maybe we should stay back before we get infected." Spike said.
"Yeah, we don't want a pandemic." Yusei muttered.
"I find that nothing brightens my mood like a new ensemble!" Rarity said as she puts a blue and purple jester suit on Twilight.
"Thanks Rarity, it's a great dress... " Twilight began before she then cries. "for somepony who knows how to run a school!
She then blew her nose the the outfit.
"You didn't tell me this was a pity party!" Pinkie whispered to Spike, Yusei and X with a tray of cupcakes on her head. "I would've brought ice cream!"
"I appreciate you trying to make me feel better, but not everything can be fixed with dresses and cupcakes." Twilight said depressed.
"WHAT?!" Pinkie screamed.
Twilight pulls out of the dress and leaves. "I just need some time to be alone and think."
The others watch as Twilight leaves the room.
"Man, I can imagine Hibiki and Shinji feeling like this." X muttered.
"I got an idea!" Yusei said before dragging X who had an confused look.
(Meanwhile)
Back over with Chrysalis, the hooded figure and the clones of the Mane 6.
"Listen to your Queen!" Chrysalis ordered. "We must retrieve the Elements of Harmony!"
"Hunting down some lame Elements?" Cloned Pinkie said. "This is the worst day ever!"
Then Cloned Fluttershy kicked some dirt in Cloned Pinkie's face. "No. Now it's the worst day ever!" She then laughs cruelly.
"Those Elements are mine!" Cloned Rarity said greedily. "Along with this rock! Oh, and that twig!"
"I got all kinds o' Elements right here under my hat." Cloned Applejack said. "I'll let you see 'em for 5 bits."
Cloned Rainbow scoffs. "Losers."
"What is going on?!" Chrysalis hissed at the hooded figure. "Why aren't they listening to me?!"
"Hmm, it seems to be so because your negative emotion." The hooded figure said.
"What?" Chrysalis asked with venom.
"You possessed a lot of negative energy. Meaning that not only the clones are a darker shade, but they also are the polar opposite of what the REAL ponies are."
"I see."
"Why didn't you just attack them?" Cloned Twilight asked Chrysalis.
"Excuse me?" Chrysalis turned to her.
"You were close enough to pull hairs from their manes." Cloned Twilight said. "Why not just take revenge then?"
"They've defeated my army. I know better than to strike alone. I need-"
"Friends?"
"Servants!" Chrysalis snapped correctly. "And the power of the Elements!"
"Speaking of the name, where are these elements of harmony?" The hooded figure asked.
"The location of the most powerful weapon in Equestria isn't something made known to just anypony. I learned they were hidden somewhere in this forest." Chrysalis replied.
"Yeah, well, it is a big forest." Cloned Twilight said with a smirk.
Chrysalis growled.
(Meanwhile)
Twilight heads outside and looks upon her School of Friendship.
"I wondered how long you'd take to get tired of pillow-fort pouting." Said a familiar voice.
Twilight looks back to see Starlight smirking, and with Yusei and X.
"Everypony's already tried to cheer me up." Twilight said. "It won't work."
Starlight laughed a bit. "We're not gonna cheer you up. We're gonna tell you what you did wrong."
"What?!" Twilight facing them.
"You gave up too easily." Starlight, Yusei and X said.
Twilight just gave a small glare.
"Hey, you made me a guidance counselor." Starlight said.
"And you made me, X, Hibiki and Shinji students." Yusei said.
"That means tough love." X said.
"So was I, when you met me." Starlight reminded. "But you showed me that when you know in your heart something is right, you stand up for it! You did that for me. Why not for this?"
"I can't go against the EEA! They're in charge of all the schools in Equestria!"
"And you're in charge of all the friendship in Equestria. Why should you let somepony else stop you from doing your job?"
"Especially from a cold hearted racist pony like him." Yusei commented with his arms crossed.
Twilight then brought out the rulebook again. "But the EEA rulebook..."
"Oh, forget the damn book for once!" X snapped swatting the book out of her hoof and into the water. "Geez, does anything always involve books for you?"
"You have no idea." Starlight replied. "Anyway, doesn't matter. You can write your own rules! Because you are doing something new, something important."
"You're right! Twilight said agreeing with them. "Why we're doing this is way more important than how we're doing this! And we are doing this!"
"Now that's the Twilight I know." Starlight said happily. "How can I help?"
"You already have." They pulled in for a hug as Yusei and X smiled at the scene.
"Ok, enough with the sappy stuff." X said. "Now let's get focused on saving the school.
The others nodded in agreement.
(Elsewhere)
Meanwhile in the throne room, everyone was doing their own thing.
"Guess what? "Twilight said bursting from the doors. "The School of Friendship is back in business!"
"What?!" Rainbow Dash shouted in shock.
"But why?" Rarity asked.
"Oh no." Fluttershy muttered in worry.
"Bad idea."Applejack said.
"Do we still get to guess?" Pinkie said.
"No offense, Twilight, but teaching at that school was the most boring horrible awful thing ever." Rainbow said.
"Uh, pretty sure she's gonna take offense of that." Applejack whispered.
"No, Rainbow Dash is right." Twilight said. "I owe you all an apology. Even you Yusei and X. I was so focused on doing things the EEA way I didn't listen to any of you! I'm sorry. I promise this time, we'll run the school the ways friends should: together."
"So... we'd be allowed to teach however we want to?" Rarity asked.
"No more scary pop quizzes?" Fluttershy asked.
"Confetti cannons for everycreature?" Pinkie asked.
Then party cannons appeared and each one matches their colors. Even for Yusei and X.
"How does she do that?" X whispered to Yusei.
"I think we shouldn't question it." Yusei replied.
"Whatever you need to teach the Elements of Harmony."Twilight agreed.
"Yahooo!" Pinkie cheered and the cannons went off.
"Well in that case, we're behind you 100%, Twilight!" Applejack said.
Spike clears his throat. "Just two small problems? The school is still unaccredited..."
Twilight twitches her eye.
"and we don't have any students!"He finished.
"Really Spike? You had to make things sound harder?" X asked.
"Hey!" Spike defended. "I'm just telling the truth!"
Twilight had an idea. "I'll take care of the first part, if you 5 can round up our class. Yusei, X, you both get Hibiki and Shinji."
"Totally!" Rainbow said "Uh... how?"
"Roundin' up the pony students ain't gonna be a problem, but..." Applejack began.
"The creatures from the other kingdoms seemed pretty upset with us." Fluttershy finished.
"Pfft, nonsense!" Rarity said. "I'm certain we can win them over with our charm and style!"
(Elsewhere)
At Yakyakistan, Prince Rutherford was sitting on his throne still upset. Then Pinkie came in with a box of cupcakes.
"Cupcake-gram for Prince Rutherford!" She said.
"Why pink pony here?" He said. "Yaks mad at ponies!"
"Because..." Pinkie shoves a cupcake in his mouth and eats it. "You don't have to be mad anymore! We're reopening Twilight Sparkle's School of Friendship! And it's gonna be super-oopa-duper- better than before! We're..."
(Elsewhere)
"Ever so sorry about the misunderstanding, all the creatures are of course welcome." Rarity said talking to Ember.
(Elsewhere)
"We would be really happy if you sent your student back to class." Flutthershy said talking to Thorax.
(Elsewhere)
"It won't be the same without them!" Applejack said talking to Seaspray. "We're open and ready to start teachin'..."
(Elsewhere)
"Right now!" Rainbow saidtalking to Grandpa Gruff. "So? What are you waiting for? Get your student and let's go!"
"Not happenin'." The old Griffon said.
"Do you need me to do the whole apology and explanation thing again?" Rainbow groaned in annoyance. "Okay."
"Listen, missy!" Gruff said stopping her. "It's not happenin' because..."
Our student is gone!
What?!
(Meanwhile)
Yusei and X walked to the room that Hibiki and Shinji were in as Yusei knocked on the door.
"Hey guys, its us." He began. "I know you both are upset but come out. We have some news."
There was no response. Yusei knocked on the door again but this time the door slowly openned to reveal that it was unlocked.
"That's...not a good sign..." X muttered.
Yusei and X rushed into the room and saw that Hibiki and Shinji were gone.
"Oh crap!" Yusei excalimed.
"Yusei! X! What's going on?"
The two said heroes turned to see Starlight and Spike who had concerned looks.
"We have a problem." X replied with a nervous look on his face.
A villain from the world of Equestria Chrysalis has returned to hatch a plan of revenge as she assistance of a hooded figure who helps her create clones of the mane 6.
Meanwhile Yusei, X and Starlight managed to get Twilight gain the confidence to reopen the school of friendship.
As Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Fluttershy, Applejack and Rainbow Dash head to the other kingdoms to get the students, the leaders have revealed that their student is gone.
Things get worse as it is revealed that Hibiki and Shinji are gone aswell.
Yusei and X explained to Spike and Starlight that Hibiki and Shinji had disappeared which shocked the two so they four went to tell Twilight the news which almost made the said Alicorn freak out since there was more bad news. She told the others that she was told by the rest of the Mane 7 that the students from the other kingdoms went missing.
This was bad. Very bad.
So the five headed to canterlot so that they can help the Princesses try to sort out the situation and find out what caused the students to go missing.
(Later)
Right now, Yusei, X, Twilight, Starlight and Spike were with Princess Celestia and Luna to handle the problem as the leaders from the other kingdoms came into the throne room, and they did NOT look happy.
"Where Yona?!" Rutherford asks furiously. "This all pony's fault!"
"You're pretty quick to blame them!" Ember said to Rutherford. "What are you hiding, yak?!"
Rutherford snorted.
"Can... can we just focus on finding our lost students?" Thorax asked nervously.
"Nice try!" Grandpa Gruff shouted. "You grubs are probably hidin' the whole lot of 'em!"
"Geez, why is he so racist?" X thought.
"Please, everycreature!" Celestia pleaded. "If you can just explain what happened."
Seaspray steps forward and explains. "The students left us notes before they disappeared. When the school closed, they didn't want to say goodbye to each other. They claim they ran away to stay together."
"I can't believe it!" Twilight said amazed. "They did learn friendship!"
"Oh, so its your fault that they're missing?" Seaspray asked as he and the other leaders glared at Twilight.
"Not helping." X whispered.
"Sorry." Twilight said sheepishly.
"But how could they have hidden themselves so well though?" Yusei asked.
"He's right." Luna said before looking at the leaders of the other kingdoms. "Do any of you have any ideas?"
"The students couldn't have done this by themselves." Seapray continued. "Some creature is hiding them! If the niece of our Queen is not found soon, I promise there will be retribution!"
"Yeah? Well my dragons will burn every kingdom until we find which of you is hiding Smolder!" Ember yelled.
"Tell that to the Griffon army!" Gruff yelled as he came up to her.
"Yaks fight Griffons and Dragons!" Rutherford shouts getting between them.
"The Changeling Empire can't afford an international incident." Thorax said. "If any creature blames the changelings for this..."
"What are you up to, shapeshifter?" Ember asked furiously.
"B-But we're friends!"
Celestia leans to Yusei and X. "You two must help Twilight and the others find the students quickly, or I fear our world will be at war!"
Yusei and X nodded before they quickly left with Twilight, Starlight and Spike as they hoped that they'll find them soon.
Because if they don't...
The 1st Equestrian World War will happen.
(Later)
Right now Yusei and X were with the mane 7 and Spike were at SugerCube Corner, trying to work out where the students, Hibiki and Shinji might be.
"Okay." Twilight began. "Let's review what we know."
"Smolder, Ocellus, Silverstream, Yona and Gallus, disappeared together." Spike said looking at the list. Twilight gestures him to continue. "That's all we know." He finished.
"Not only that, Hibiki and Shinji are missing aswell." Yusei said
"They're probably just off hidin' somewhere." Applejack tried to assure.
"Unless they used some kind of spell to disappear." Starlight suggested.
"Ooh! Or went undercover!" Rainbow said.
"Maybe they were attacked by a ferocious shrimp!" Pinkie excalimed nudging Fluttershy. "Nopony ever expects that!"
"Shrimps can attack?" Fluttershy gasped.
"Nope! That's why nopony expects it."
"Guys! can you take this seriously?!" X snapped scaring the ponies. "Your world is on the brink of war unless we find the students! Plus, we need to find Hibiki and Shinji!"
The ponies nodded at that, then Sandbar came in and saw the chart of the missing students and grew nervous. And he went to the counter with a nervous smile.
"Hi Sandbar!" Pinkie greeted, grabbing his order and came back with 5 boxes of cupcakes. "Are you having a party?"
"No!" He replied nervously and shakes. "I-I'm just, um... really hungry? Yeah?"
Sandbar heads to the door as Pinkie helps him with opening the door.
"We need to think like our students." Rarity said. "If someone told us we would never see each other again, what would we do?"
"GO someplace we could all hang out and eat lots and lots of cupcakes!" Pinkie suggested.
The others just stared.
"What?"
"Wait," Yusei began. "Pinkie might actually be onto something. Me, X, Hibiki and Shinji were friends with the students. And Hibiki and Shinji went missing the same time the students did."
"You might not be suggesting that they hid the students, are you?" Starlight asked.
"Not really. But that can be a possibility." Yusei replied. "Or maybe they went to look for the students once they heard that they were missing."
"But how would they know about it?" Twilight asked.
No one answered but then X got an idea.
"Wait," X began. "Sandbar was also friends with those students..."
"And he just got plenty of cupcakes. Fluttershy finished.
"Huh, now that you mension it..." Applejack began, as she was remembering something. "He was at the farm this morin' pickin' up a wagonload of apples."
"And I saw him in a shop buying pillows and blankets." Rarity said.
"He must be taking all that stuff to the other students!" Rainbow gasped. "We've gotta follow him!"
The 5 quickly rush to the door, but got stuck in the doorway for a few seconds.
"Well that's a start." X muttered.
"Come on." Yusei said. "We've got no time to lose!"
(Meanwhile)
Right now we see Hibiki and Shinji walking in the forest. You see, while they were depressed, they looked outside and saw Sandbar pulling a wagon and talked about taking somethings in the wagon to his friends.
That sparked interest to Hibiki and Shinji on what he was talking about so they managed to sneak out and tried to look for him.
"Um...maybe this was a bad idea to sneak out..." Shinji said nervously.
"Don't worry." Hibiki assured. "Just stay alert in case anything happens.
That made Shinji feel a little better. However he became alerted once he heard a sound.
"Do you hear that?" He asked.
"Hear what?" Hibiki asked.
"That sound."
"I don't think so. Let's be quiet and listen for a bit."
They remained quiet and listened, but then they heard what sounded to be laughter.
"I think we're getting close." Hibiki said. "Come on, let's keep moving."
Shinji nervously nodded and followed Hibiki.
(Elsewhere)
Meanwhile, the Hooded Figure, Chrysalis, and clones known as the Mean 6 were still searching through the forest for the Elements.
And then Cloned Pinkie landed in front of Cloned Twilight, Chrysalis and the Hooded Figure. "I'm soooooo bored. Are we there yet?"
"Where yet?" Cloned Twilight said. "We don't even know where we're going!"
"The quicker we search the forest, the quicker we find the Elements." Chrysalis walked.
"I know where the Elements are." Cloned Applejack lied. "This, uh, here boulder just told me." She gestures to a rock
The hooded figure then heard something.
"Quiet fools." He hissed. "Do you hear that?"
They listened and heard sounds of laughter.
"Wait...its those students from the school!" Chrysalis said suprised before growing an evil smirk. "Looks like things got easy."
"Then let's go." The hooded figure said as the group walked of.
'Look at them, acting all high and mighty.' Cloned Twilight thought. 'You need us way more than we need you, masters. The others are fools. But with me to lead them, there's no reason we can't find the Elements and keep the power for ourselves!'
(Meanwhile)
Meanwhile the students were hanging out at the Castle of the Two Sisters as Gallus was flying around.
"Huh. This place is way cooler than I thought it'd be." Gallus said.
Then Yona trip over her braid when heading down the stairs and fell onto the ground.
"Even I'm impressed." Smolder said snacking on small gems on a helmet. "What's it called again, Ocellus?"
"The Castle of the Two Sisters." Ocellus answered reading a book on a staircase. "I remembered it from class. Princess Twilight's "History of Pre-Equestrian Friendships."
"Huh. Who knew?" Gallus said impressed. "School was actually good for something."
"Yona not really like school." Yona said before she then pulled Ocellus, Gallus and Smolder for a tight hug. "But Yona like new friends!"
"Smolder... like breathing!" Smolder gasped trying to pull free.
"Hey, you guys!" Silverstream called out who was flying and peeked through a window. "Sandbar's back!"
And went to the door as she sees Sandbar heading to the castle while pulling a wagon.
"Cupcakes are best cakes!" Yona opening the doors while cheering and she then took off running like a zooming race car.
But Gallus quickly got ahead and grabs her braids causing her to trip. She came rolling towards Sandbar before she came to a stop and wagged her tail like a happy dog.
"Thanks for the assist, Gallus." Sandbar said thanking thanking his feathered friend.
"I was saving the cupcakes." Gallus scoffed with a smirk.
Then the lid was then removed as Gallus and Yona shoved their face in the cupcakes eating them.
Then Ocellus came and saw the cart of pillows.
"Pillows!" She said diving in the wagon "How nice! The castle is gonna be so much more comfy."
"And fun!" Smolder said as she poked out from behind and grabs a pillow. "Pillow fight!"
She then threw the pillow at Sandbar and the two started fighting. Then a shadow appear above them as they saw Ocellus as a bear bug before she drops on to them and they started laughing.
"YOU GUYS!"
The five look over to Silverstream who was in a excited mood.
"I just found...STAIRS!" She shouted near the staircase leading inside.
"...Aaaand we care because...?" Gallus asked.
"Stairs are awesome!" She said. "We don't have anything like 'em underwater,'cause you know..."She uses her necklace to turn herself into a Seapony and sat on the stairs. "No way to climb 'em!" She finished.
The others saw her fins and got the point. "Ohhhh."
"This place has everything! Silverstream said who turns back into her Hippogriff self. "If only my family back home could see it."
Then a apple was toss up and bounces off her head. And she takes a bite out of it.
"I wish the other changelings could meet you all." Said Ocellus. You're not as strange as the stories say.
"Gee, thanks." Smolder said. "But yeah, hanging out with other creatures is actually... not bad."
"Though I wish Shinji and the others could be here with us." Ocellus admitted.
"Yeah," Silverstream said. "Are you sure it was a good idea not to invite them?"
"Sorry Silver." Gallus aplogised. "But we can't risk being found out and having to be taken back to your kingdoms."
"Even though I miss Yusei and the others," Smolder began. "I don't want to be seprated from you guys."
"Yona wishes to see X again." Yona said sadly.
"Hey, I'm sure we might meet them again." Sandbar assured. "Besides, what's the worse that can happen?"
"Wouldn't you like to know..."
The students gasped as they turn to see Chrysalis smirking at them.
"C-Chrysalis!" Ocellus said in fear.
"Looks like finding the elements just got easier." Chrysalis amused. "Now!"
Those were the last words the students heard before they felt a pain at the back of their head and everything went black.
Hibiki and Shinji were running to where they heard the voices of the students. It wasn't too far. So they figured that they would be able to get there without anyone noticing.
However when they arrived their eyes widen on what was in front of them.
They were too late.
They were at some sort of castle. But from the looks of it, there was some sort of attack. Most of the place was damaged as there were parts steaming with smoke.
But what really caught their attention was a wagon. It was the same one that Sandbar was seen pulling earlier.
"This is so not good." Hibiki said as he and Shinji looked around the damage.
"What happened here?"
They turned to see Yusei, X, the mane seven and Spike.
"Guys!" Hibiki said in relief.
"We're glad you two are ok." Twilight said. "But where are the students?"
"That's what we want to know." Shinji said.
"This is bad." Starlight said. "If we don't find them soon then there will world war."
"World War?!" Hibiki and Shinji asked in shock.
"Let us explain." Yusei stated.
(Meanwhile)
Sandbar groaned as he began to stur awake. He looked around and saw that he was chained up.
'What is going on?!' He thought.
"Sandbar?"
He saw that his friends were also chained up.
"Guys! What happened?" He asked.
"We've been foalnapped!" Silverstream cried.
"By who?"
"She means us."
The students then looked to see Chrysalis with a hooded figure. But that wasn't the most shocking thing that caught their attention. In front of them were the mane six. Or atleast that's who they think they were.
"Who are creatures and why are ponies here?!" Yona demanded.
"Well, as you know me I am Chrysalis. Queen of the changelings." Chrysalis said before glaring at Ocellus who looked away. "Or atleast I was. But with the help of my acompluse I was able to make these clones of Twilight Sparkle and her meddlesome friends."
"Enough!" Chrysalis hissed getting into Gallus' face who backed away in fear. "Anyway, with these clones we plan to use the elements of harmony. And its a good thing we came to you."
"We don't know where the elements are." Smolder growled with a glare.
"No dragon." The hooded figure said putting a finger under Smolder's chin. "You don't. But one of you does." He then went through the students until he looks at Sandbar. "You."
"Sandbar?!" The other students said in shock.
"Well...I am a pony..." Sandbar said with a lame smile.
"You will lead us to where the elements of harmony are." Chrysalis said.
"And if I refuse?" Sandbar asks with a raised eyebrow.
Chrysalis looks at the hooded figure and nodded as the hooded figure shoots lightning at Gallus who screams in pain.
"Gallus!" Silverstream, Ocellus, Smolder and Yona screamed in concern while Sandbar starred in shock and fear.
Thankfully the lightning was non-lethal and the hooded figure stops which allows Gallus to breath and cough.
"So who's next?" Chrysalis asked with a smirk.
"Please stop!" Sandbar begged. "I'll take you to the elements. Just please, don't hurt any of my friends."
"Good." Chrysalis said before shooting a glare. "But if you dare lie to me we will kill your friends and force you to watch."
Sandbar then had the chains taken off.
"Now remember. One lie, and you will never see your friends again."
Sandbar nodded. As much as he didn't want to help Chrysalis, he had no other choice. If he tried one sign of betrayal...his friends would suffer.
(Back at The Heroes, the Mane 7 and Spike)
"So the students fled as Sandbar hid them." Shinji began. "And the leaders of the kingdoms will have war unless they are found?"
"Pretty much." X replied.
"Well we need to find them fast." Hibiki said.
"But how?" Spike asked. "No offense but I don't think its gonna be easy anymore. We have no clues."
"Wrong!" Hibiki shouted. "Look!"
There were footprints (Or Hoofprints)on the floor leading to somewhere.
"Great!" Twilight said. "If we follow these then we'll find the students!"
"But I think we better hurry." Rainbow Dash said. "Who knows how far behind we are."
The group nodded as they ran off following the footprints. Praying that they were not too late.
It had been thirty minutes since Sandbar lead, Chrysalis, the hooded figure and the mean six.
As much as he didn't want to doom Equestria, he had no choice. There was no way he could fight Chrysalis and her minions off. Even if he could, they had his friends hostage. Meaning if he tried to fight back, they would kill them.
Many things were going through Sandbar's mind. What will the ponies think of him? What would his family think of him? He had betrayed them and made their doom. He didn't hope about being forgiven. He just hoped that they would understand on why he did what he's doing.
They soon ended up at a cave which hid the tree of harmony inside it.
"There." Sandbar said pointing to the tree. "The elements are in the Tree of Harmony."
"Thank you little colt." Chrysalis said pushing Sandbar aside. "With these elements. I will be able to rule over Equestria and I shall be Queen once more!"
"You villains never learn."
They all turned to see the heroes, the mane 7 and Spike who stood behind them.
"No!" Chrysalis hissed. "How did you find us?!"
"You can blame the footprints you left." X said before transforming his arm into a mega buster and fired as Chrysalis, the hooded figure and the mean 6 were sent back flying.
"Now let's get you guys free." Yusei said as he and the heroes ran to the students and freed them.
"You came for us." Ocellus said hugging Shinji.
"You're our friends. Of course we would." Shinji smiled.
"You!"
They all looked back to see Chrysalis, the hooded figure and the mean 6 get back up.
"Shinji!" Yusei said. "Protect Spike and the students. We'll take care of this."
Shinji nodded as he rushed the students away from the battlefield.
The hooded figure waved his hands out as skeletons appeared.
"Attack." The hooded figure said as the skeletons ran at heroes and mane 6.
"Let's do this." Yusei said as he took out his duel disk.
One of the skeletons try to strike at X but X dodges it before kicking at more skeletons and fires his mega buster and causes explosions to happen.
Yusei takes out a card amd summons Junk Synchron who blocks a hit from a skeleton before punching it back.
Yusei then takes out another card and summons Speed Warrior who then blitzes the skeletons.
"Synchro Summon!" Yusei said as Junk Synchron and Speed Warrior merge and then become Junk Warrior.
Junk Warrior then does a power punch which shoots back the Skeletons away.
Hibiki shoots out a big stream of lightning which creates shockwaves and explosions around.
Skeletons were about to fire at Hibiki but Twilight and Starlight appeared in front of him and create a barrier which blocks the blast and shoots back the skeletons.
Rarity created her diamond shield to reflect up coming attacks that were shot back at the skeletons which caused explosions.
A skeleton was about to attack but was given a present by Pinkie.
"Surprise!" She said before running off as the skeleton openned the present to reveal Pinkie with a cupcake. "Double surprise!" She shoots at the skeleton with a barrage of pancakes as it screams in pain.
Rainbow Dash was blitzing through skeletons while Applejack lassoed them.
Fluttershy was meanwhile comfortimg a (Somehow) sobbing skeleton.
"It looks like we got them on the run!" Hibiki said.
"But be alert!" Twilight said. "We can't let Chrysalis get the elements or Equestria is doomed!"
(Meanwhile)
But it was sadly too late.
Queen Chrysalis smiled pleasantly, "Yes… The Elements of Harmony is ours! Now get them!"
"Yes, your majesty…" Mean Twilight said calmly, "Let's go and get them."
Mean Six chuckled sinisterly and amusingly. They're all approached to the Tree of Harmony. Mean Twilight levitated and took them out from the tree. She placed them on her and her friends. While she was wearing Element of Magic tiara, the rest of her friends worn the necklaces-like with Elements of Harmony.
"We are ready, ma'am," Mean Twilight reported happily.
Queen Chrysalis smirked, "Good. Very good. We are ready."
(Elsewhere)
Shinji, Spike and the students got to a safe place as they saw flashing lights and heard big explosions.
"Its like a warzone there." Shinji said in amazement and fear.
Yona groaned in concern, "Yona agreed."
"Do you think it's good idea to leave them by themselves to handle their evil clones?" Ocellus asked in concern, "What if Chrysalis got the Elements in time?!"
"Calm down!" Spike said. "Let's not jump to conclusions."
"Agh! Its all my fault!" Sandbar said. "If only I didn't lead them here!"
"Hey! Don't go and blame yourself." Smolder said sternly.
"But-"
"No Sandbar." Gallus said. "Those psychos threatened to kill us. Anyone would've done what you did."
That got Sandbar to smile a bit.
"Then I can't stand here and let them fight!" Shinji said running.
"Shinji!" Spike called out. "Come back!"
(Back on the battlefield)
The heroes and mane 6 managed to defeat the skeletons as they faced Chrysalis.
Queen Chrysalis laughed amusingly, "Princess Twilight Sparkle – my favorite little brat! I've been looking forward to get my revenge on you and your friends for not only dethroning me, but also turned my hive against me!"
"You could have accepted our friendship. You could have changed for better. The hive would have accepted you. But instead, you rejected it," Twilight said firmly and angrily, "You have no one else but yourself to blame!"
Queen Chrysalis snarled angrily, "How dare you!"
"Chrysalis, we're giving you one last chance," Yusei said firmly, "Surrender now and we will spare your life."
"I don't think so. This time, I will be victorious!" Queen Chrysalis exclaimed arrogantly and proudly, "My nemeses, meet your match! Now, my evil servants, take them down!"
"Yes, your highness!" The Mean 6 said.
"Oh boy..." Starlight groaned.
"And now its time for my creation to work." The hooded figure said as he summoned a coffin which opened.
Then footsteps were heard as the heroes and the mane 7 starred in shock.
"Who is that?!" Rainbow shouted pointing a hoof at the being in front of her.
It was a young man who appeared to be in his late teens. He had red hair and wore a purple suit. Though, the thing that caught their attention were the red eyes that matched his evil grin.
"Meet my resurrected creation!" The Hooded figure announced. "Black Battler!"
"Now," Black Battler began. "Let's start this."
Both sides then clash at each other and entered a brawl in the battle field.
Mean Twilight has unleashed powerful blast at Twilight, who quickly summoned Magical Barrier to block and deflect the beams. As soon as she dispersed her barrier down, her evil clone charged and rammed her off. She then unleashed and fired a dark blast at her. She barely dodged and evade the attacks. She then fired back at her evil clone, who quickly summoned and used the Magical Barrier to block the attacks. The clone got levitated and thrown straight against the walls. Both Twilight and her evil clone unleashed their full powerful Magical Blast in clashing and ramming at each other.
"I have the Element of Magic! I am much more powerful and stronger than you!" Mean Twilight bragged proudly, "You cannot win! Give up now!"
Twilight groaned, "I don't think so! You may have the Element! It doesn't mean you actually have its power!"
Rainbow charged up and rammed her Sonic Rainboom at her clone, who dodged and flew up, allowing her to raminto a wall but she managed to get back out.
"I'll admit," Rainbow began. "you're fast, but that doesn't mean you'll outmatch me!"
"Try me." Mean Rainbow Dash smirked before the two flew around and clashed into many places.
Applejack grabbed and thrown a large debris at her clone before she quickly used and tangled her lasso in tying her up. She then approached and glared at her evil clone.
"That was easy." Applejack commented.
"Unlikely, mare." Mean Applejack lied with snickers, "I mean it's not like I purposely make you lowered your guard down or something. I mean if I did, then I wouldn't be in like this. Plus, you're all can't be that stupid to fall for it. If you did, then you would have been in this position, not the other way around."
"Oh boy..." Applejack said in concern.
Meanwhile Rarity was having a hard time against her clone and she wasn't enjoying it.
Mean Rarity laughed sinisterly and greedily, "Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine! My precious!"
Rarity groaned, "I am truly disgust when looking at my clone. She's complete greedy! I would never become like that."
However Fluttershy wasn't really fighting, more like avoiding any attack that mean Fluttershy threw at her.
"Come out where ever you are." Mean Fluttershy said sinsterly.
"O-Oh..." Fluttershy whimpered.
Things were going crazy with Pinkie Pie facing against her clone as they both fired party cannons at each other which made a lot of damage.
However the real fight was between the heroes, Starlight and Black Battler.
There were many explosions and blasts being fired.
Black Battler was facing X and Junk Warrior as they tried to hit him but he dodged every attack they threw at him before taking out a gun and shooting at them as they dodged.
Black Battler then dodges a fire blast from Hibiki and shots at him but Starlight appears and creates a shield to block the shot.
"What is this guy?!" Starlight exclaimed. "I've never seen some creature so powerful!"
"Well," Hibiki began. "There's only one explanation."
"You don't mean..." Yusei said.
"Yes. He's from another world like us." Hibiki said.
"But how did that hooded man bring him here?" X asked.
"Looks like you're wide open!" Black Battler yelled as he fired spikes at the group as they scream in pain and got shot down.
The group were surroundered by the Black Battler and the mean 6.
"Just give up." Mean Twilight smirked. "We have the elements. Meaning we are victoruous."
"It would be boring if they gave up." Black Battler said.
"Hey!"
All eyes turned to Shinji who glared at Black Battler and the Mean 6.
"Shinji!" Twilight said. "Get out of here! Its dangerous!"
"No Twilight." Shinji said. "I'm not leaving you." He then looks back at Black Battler and the Mean 6. "I won't let you hurt my friends!"
"Oh I see." Black Battler said pointing a gun at Shinji. "You're next."
He then fired the gun at Shinji.
"Shinji no!" Fluttershy screamed.
However surprisingly, Shinji grabbed it as his hand was encased in a purple armor which then forms around him.
"What?!" Chrysalis says in disbelief.
The armor then completely covers Shinji as it turns him into a human size EVA-1.
"So, you want to play too?" Black Battler asks still keeping his smirk.
"Attack!" Chrysalis roared.
Mean Rainbow flew towards Shinji who dodged her attack before kicking her back.
Shinji then dodges a buck kick from Mean Applejack before grabbing the said clone by the mane and punched her back.
Shinji then jumps to do cannon fire from Mean Pinkie before doing break dancing skills and then kicked the cannon which shots mean Pinkie back to a wall.
Shinji then dodges a punch from Mean Fluttershy before grabbing the clone and slammed her into a wall.
Shinji then jumps at Mean Rarity who made a gem shield and punches at it. At first nothing happens but then it begins to crack open and Mean Rarity was sent back flying.
"How?!" Mean Twilight said in disbelief. "How can you be so strong?!
Shinji didn't respond he then ran at Mean Twilight who fired at him as he dodged every blast before taking out a knife and jumped at Mean Twilight and slashed at her as she screamed in pain.
Shinji then dodges a blast as he turns to face Black Battler.
"Alright, now its my turn." Black Battler says before firing at Shinji who dodges the firing.
Shinji then takes out a rifle and fires at Black Battler as the shoots each fired at each other collided.
Black Battler then jumps at Shinji and kicks at him as Shinji puts his arms together to block the kick but it sends him stumbling back.
"Shinji!" Fluttershy screamed.
"Alright, time to help out!" X said as he runs into battle and kicks at Black Battler which sends him back. X then turns to Shinji. "Need a hand?"
"How about three?"
Shinji saw that Hibiki and Yusei were also with him as they glared at Black Battler. Shinji shakes his head and gets ready to fight.
"So?" Black Battler said. "Who's first?"
X and Shinji rushed at Black Battler who then began to fire at them as they dodged the blasts before punching at Black Battler who dodged the attack by doing a backflip.
However, that gave Junk Warrior an openning as the monster punched at Black Battler lanching him into the air. Hibiki then shot a huge blast at Black Battler which then caused a big explosion.
Black Battler then felt to the ground with a loud 'Thud' alive. But unconscious.
"We did it!" Hibiki said as he high-fived Yusei.
"Thank goodness is over..." Shinji sighed.
"Good for you…" Queen Chrysalis said amusingly.
The heroes and the mane 7 looked to see Chrysalis, the hooded figure with the mean 6.
"Oh no..." X muttered.
"Now my minions. Finish them off now! Unleash your power!" Chrysalis commanded.
"Yes, your highness. We will destroy them-" Mean Twilight said amusingly. She then levitated Queen Chrysalis and the hooded figure, who is stunned and shocked by her action. She threw them straight to the ground. She smirked, "-Along with you!"
Queen Chrysalis hissed in anger, "How dare you?! We created you!"
"I guess this is what happens when I don't use the correct Clone spell." The hooded figure muttered.
Mean 6 cheered wildly and happily. They're all concentrated their energies and powers within while aiming at the heroes and Mane 7, who prepared to face for their doom. Unknown to either of them, jewelries and even the clones themselves glowed in darkness like something bad is happening to them. And at the same time, the Tree of Harmony's six holes for Elements of Harmony glowed in darkness.
And just before Mean 6 could do anything, Elements of Harmony jewels sparked out the white lights-like tentacles. They coiled around Mean 6 before engulfed them into cocoons. Like the jewels, the white lights-like tentacles emerged out to engulf them into their cocoons.
Everyone was shocked and surprised by the events. They're witnessing Mean 6withering and weakening like they're dying.
"Imbeciles! You ruined everythiiiiiiiing!" Mean Twilight screamed in pain and agony.
BOOM!
The cocoons exploded in bright white light, blinding everyone. As soon as the white light dispersed, the scene revealed couple of pale colourful wooden logs and six Elements of Harmony dropped on the floor. Everyone was still stunned and shocked by the event.
"Well I didn't see that coming." Hibiki commented.
Pinkie nodded, "It's not even in the script."
Queen Chrysalis sighed, "That was close. Serves them right for betraying us."
"And now you will answer to the crimes you have commited." X said pointing his mega buster.
"Sorry but that'll come anothert time." The Hooded Figure said before created a flash which blinded everyone for a bit.
Once the flash faded, The heroes and the mane 7 saw that Chrysalis and the hooded figure were gone.
"Ugh." Rainbow groaned in frustration. "I hate it when they do that."
"Don't worry Rainbow Dash." Yusei said before turning to look at the unconscious body of Black Battler. "Atleast we got someone to question."
"True dat." X commented.
Shinji however felt a pain as he reverted back to normal as he then fell to the ground. The last thing he saw were the others who had concerned looks. Then...
It had been about thirty minutes as Shinji was now waking up as he slowly openned his eyes and saw the other heroes, Spike and the students were him as Hibiki was healing him.
"He's awake!" Hibiki said.
"Shinji!" Ocellus cried as she jumped onto him and hugged him. "I'm so glad you're ok!"
Shinji blushed but he slowly patted Ocellus. "U-Um, it was n-no problem."
"No problem?" X repeated. "You came and saved our asses from that dude and the clones."
"Its always the quiet one." Gallus said with a smirk.
"Wait, where's Twilight and the others?" Shinji asked.
"They went to trap up that Black Battler guy so he doesn't escape once he wakes up." Spike explained.
"Though the bad news is that they can't find Chrysalis or that hooded guy she was with." Smolder added.
"I can't begin to think what they will do next." Yusei commented.
"Me two." Shinji said before looking at Ocellus. "Were the Changelings like that, Ocellus? All mean and looked like her before you all turned into colourful good Changelings?"
"Yes." Ocellus sadly answered before turning her sadness into happiness. "Until Thorax bravely escaped the hive and, with the help from Spike, showed everypony that he wasn't like Chrysalis. And then when Chrysalis invaded again, Thorax shared enough love to Chrysalis, to become the new Changeling king and made us become the Changelings we are now."
"But, why didn't she become a good Changeling as well?" Hibiki asked, "She could have helped Thorax rule the new Changeling race as mother and son."
Ocellus let out a sad sigh before answering, "Because she wanted revenge."
"Revenge? On who?" X asked.
Ocellus remained silent for a few seconds before saying, "On Guidence Counciler Starlight. You see, it wasn't just Thorax who defeated Chrysalis on that day, Starlight Glimmer helped too. She told Thorax to share his love with Chrysalis, which placed him in a cocoon and changed him into a Changeling King, with colours instead of being the same way he was before then. And then, Starlight tried to get Chrysalis to become a good guy, but she decided to swore revenge on her and flew away somewhere that we won't be able to find her. Until now."
"And it can only a matter of time before she strikes again." X said.
"We're back!"
They looked and saw the mane 7 who came back.
"Shinji you're awake." Twilight said. "How are you feeling?"
"Well, a lot better thanks to Hibiki." Shinji replied.
"No problem." Hibiki smiled.
"We got that Black Battler fellow tied up so he won't escape if he wakes up." Applejack said.
"Well I'm just more glad the elements saved us from our clones." Rarity sighed in relief.
"Also," Sandbar began with a guilty look. "I'm sorry for leading Chrysalis here."
"Its ok Sandbar." Twilight said. "You were just trying to protect your friends."
"Though the Castle of the Two Sisters, wasn't really the safest place for a campout." Starlight said. "Not forgeting the fact Chrysalis foalnapped you guys."
'Foalnapped?' The heroes thought.
"Does that mean you're going to send us back to our homes?" Ocellus asked sadly as she and other students had sad/cute looks.
"Hey, you can't just send them home." Hibiki said. "They need each other. They became best friends ever since the first day they met."
"Don't worry." Yusei assured. "We have something different in mind."
The students glance at each other.
"We're listening." Gallus said.
"It's pretty clear you've already started learning friendship without your teachers." Twilight began. "But we'd like to show you even more... if you'd come back to school?"
"Not much of a choice." Smolder said.
"To be honest, we felt exactly the same way when Twilight told us she was reopening the school." Applejack said.
"But this time, we guarantee it shall be different." Rarity said.
"Oh, yeah!" Rainbow agreeing with them. "With class run my way, it'll be 220% cooler."
"And without the EEA, It'll be much friendlier." Fluttershy added.
"Plus, all our nations won't go to war if you come back with us!" Pinkie putted in "Bonus!"
The students were stunned.
"Wait." Sandbar began. "What's happening?"
"We'll explain on the way." Yusei said.
(Later)
Once Shinji got all healed up, the heroes, the mane 7, Spike and the students headed to the school of friendship as Yusei and X carried Black Battler's unconcious and chained up body.
Once they arrived Twilight then tries to break the seal that locked the School of Friendship.
"Twilight! I was so relieved to get your letter!" Princess Celestia said arriving along with the students elders.
"As was Queen Novo." Seaspray said. "Oh, we're just glad you're alright, Silverstream!"
Then Grandpa Gruff zooms towards Gallus. "Don't expect a welcome party from me, sonny! It's time you got home!"
He then grabs Gallus by his ear. But Gallus pulls free.
"I'm not leaving." He said.
"Whaaaat?!"
"None of us are." Ocellus said before hiding behind Shinji. "Sorry, Thorax."
"Yak not understand." Rutherford said confused. "This pony joke?"
"No." Smolder said. "We're going back to school."
"How?!" Ember asked. "You can't even get inside!"
Twilight begun to fire her magic at the seal but it didn't work.
"Hold on, Twilight." X said. "Let me try."
X took out his mega buster and aimed it at the seal before firing it which destroyed the seal.
"School is back in session!" Twilight said.
The heroes and students cheered but this didn't last long. A portal opens and Neighsay steps out and holds a piece of seal in his hoof as it brakes in two.
"Who dared remove my seal?" Neighsay asked.
"We did Chancellor Neighsay! Yusei said firmly. "And we respectfully ask you to step aside."
"Or classes will start late." Twilight added.
"Classes won't start at all!" Neighsay stated. "The EEA spoken, and none shall pass!"
Neighsay stomps his hoof creating a large boom effect in the ground.
"Yak pass if yak say!" Yona said as she tries to run at Neighsay but X stops her.
"This is for the greater good." Neighsay said to everyone. "The school was disorganized, the teachers unqualified! And those dangerous and unpredictable "students" put ponies' lives in danger!"
"I'll show yo unpredictable!" Ember growled before she, Thorax, Rutherford, Gruff and Seaspray began to approach Neighsay with angry looks.
"Hold on, please!" Celestia said stopping them. "I'm sure Princess Twilight Sparkle has a good explanation for all of this."
"I do!" Twilight said. "It's true that my school is EEA-unaccredited..."
"Look!" Spike said to X. "She said it without doing the eye thing!"
"And that's an improvement." X commented.
"Then it is not a school!" Neighsay said.
"It's not an EEA school." Twilight corrected. "It's a friendship school with it's own rules. I should know. I wrote the book!"
She then brought a School of Friendship rulebook.
"These students reminded me that every friendship is special, so the way we teach it has to be just as unique. My school is going to do things differently."
"Allowing all of these creatures to attend your school, changing the rules for them - it simply won't work!" Neighsay yelled.
"I seem to recall something about Earth ponies, unicorns, and pegasi doing something similar, don't you?" Celestia asked.
"We promise you, Chancellor." Hibiki said. "Twilight's school will help protect Equestria."
"Or destroy IT!" Neighsay said before doing a backing glare as went through the portal and it closed.
And the students cheered.
"Hmph. How is this school going to be any different from last time?" Grandpa Gruff asked.
"This brand new school of friendshipis home to everyone
We're learning how to trust
We're here to all have fun
With friendship ties that bind us
Tighter than the strongest bonds
We're hoof-in-hoof
In hand in hoof in wing or even claw
And soon the school was back open.
There's a Griffon in the garden
Hippogriffs hang in the hall
And the door will be open
To all creatures great and small
And a yak or two or three
Singing in perfect harmony
That might have been a chagneling
But it kind of looks like me
The school of friendship is for all of us
A place where we belong
Where we all learn to share and trust
The only rule here is to find your way
And friendship always win at the end of the day
Some things you just can't teach with books
Some things you only know
So trust your heart and let us lead
And your friendship's sure to grow
And once we master kindness
We will spread it 'cross this land
And this gift that's ours to share
So others understand
The school of friendship is for all of us
A place where we belong
Where we all learn to share and trust
The only rule here is to find your way
And friendship always wins at the end of the day
The damaged tower has been rebuilt, and a class picture was taken.
"Ugh, fine"! Ember groaned. "If you promise to stop singing, Smolder can stay!"
"Wahoo!" Smolder cheered.
"Uh, if dragon stay, yak stay." Rutherford said.
"I know you will make the changelings proud, Ocellus." Thorax said as he patted Ocellus' head.
"You belong here." Seaspray said to Silverstream. "Now, can you show me those stair things you mentioned?"
Silverstream quickly pulls him with her.
"Stairs?" Shinji asked looking at Sandbar.
"Its a long story." Sandbar explained.
"What? You belong at home!" Gruff said to Gallus. "You think I care if you've made friends?"
"Please, Grandpa Gruff?"
Gruff saw Gallus begging him with puppy eyes.
"Alright, alright! Stop doing that!"
The students cheered and enter the school. And Starlight joins Twilight.
"Guess I make a pretty good guidance counselor, huh?" Starlight asked.
"And we were good students." X commented.
"Yes!" Twilight said. "Writing the rulebook was the most fun ever! I can't wait to start working on new lesson plans!"
Applejack cheers her throat.
"...With some help from my friends." She finished.
"Good." Hibiki said. "And don't forget that."
"Thank you four for helping Twilight." Celestia said. "I will not forget what you have done."
"It was no problem Celestia." Yusei said.
"So what you do with him?" Shinji asked pointing to Black Battler.
"He'll be held in the dungeons until we are ready to question him." Celestia said. "After all, from what I got letter, Chrysalis and her acomplace are still on the loose."
(Elsewhere)
Right now Chrysalis and the hooded figure were now far away from Equestria as they rested.
"I can't believe it!" Chrysalis hissed. "I was so close to getting my revenge and now its gone!"
"Don't fret." The hooded figure said. "This was merely a test in order to get data on how powerful those boys were."
"You knew about them?!" Chrysalis questioned with a glare.
"Of course I did. My master warned me about their arrival."
"Master?"
"Yes. But don't worry about it for now. We just need to focus on the next faze."
"Ok. But question, who exactly are you?"
The hooded figure smirked. "Glad you asked."
The hooded figure took of his robe to reveal a man in his late thirities of an asian decent which black hair.
"I am Shang Tsung." The man said. "The Soul sorcerer."
It was soon morning at the School of Friendship as Celestia's sun rose up and shined its warm light throughout Equestria.
Right now we can see Hibiki sleeping in his dorm as he snored. Nothing can ruin his sleep.
That was until the sound of an alarm clock woke him up as he screamed like a little girl and fell out of his bed as he groaned.
"What was that...?" He muttered before he turned to see what time it was. "Oh crap! I better get going! I don't want to be late!"
He then started to get up and get dressed before grabbing his equipment before he ran out of his dorm to head to the breakfast to meet up with his friends.
It had been a week ever since the School of Friendship had reopened and was now living in the rules of Twilight and her friends.
Hibiki was real excited to be attending the school not because of the new things.
Right now Yusei, Shinji and X were with the young 6 in the breakfast hall as they were eating their breakfast while they were waiting for Hibiki to come.
"I'm glad that things have been stressful then they were before." Shinji said as he sighed in a relaxed manner.
"Well its thanks to Yusei and X for getting Headmare Twilight to gain the confidence to reopen the school." Sandbar pointed out.
"Well we had help from Starlight so give her some credit." X said.
"Um hey, has anyone seen Hibiki?" Silverstream asked.
"He probably still sleeping." Smolder replied while shrugging.
"Hey guys!"
The group then saw Hibiki as he rushed through the breakfast hall and sat next at the table the students and the other heroes were sitting at.
"There you are." Ocellus said. "What happened?"
"Yeah, did you oversleep?" Gallus asked with a smirk.
"Yes." Hibiki said obviously making the others except Silverstream sweatdrop.
"Well its good to see you here." Silverstream said happily.
"So what's the plan for today?"
"Well first we have Professor Fluttershy's animal class, then Professor Pie's cooking class and Professor Dash's Racing class." Ocellus explained checking her time table.
"Well that's good." Shinji smiled as he petted Ocellus' head who blushed and giggled in response.
"Well alright then. Let's gey ready and head to class." Yusei suggested.
Everyone nodded as they finished eating up and headed up to Fluttershy's classroom.
(Later)
Right now, the heroes, their six friends and the other students were in Fluttershy's classroom as the said yellow pegasus walked in front of classroom.
"Oh, um hello class." She said. "Today we will be learning on how to befriend other creatures."
"What does pony mean?" Yona whispered to X.
"I think its a way for us to make friends with wild animals or something like that." X guessed.
"You're right X." Fluttershy confirmed. "Now let me show you the creature you'll be trying to befriend."
"Oh! I can't wait!" Silverstream said excitedly.
"Me two!" Hibiki said, equally as excited.
Fluttershy then reached behind her desk and then pulled out what appeared to be diminutive porcupine-like creature which raised confusion of the heroes of the students.
"Well that's strange." X commented.
"Yeah, what is that thing?" Sandbar asked.
Ocellus sighed. "Am I the only one who didn't sleep through Professor Fluttershy's "Critters of Comfort and Conflict" class?"
The heroes and the rest of the young 6 let out sheepish laughters. Clearly Ocellus was the only one who didn't sleep.
The said changeling rolled her eyes and said "It's a puckwudgie."
"That's right Ocellus." Fluttershy confirmed happily. "Today you all will try to befriend this creature."
Fluttershy then sets thd puckwudgie on the floor as it looks at the heroes and the students.
The heroes and the young 6 felt a sense of unease as the puckwudgie starred at them with its soulless looking eyes. While it may not look like it, they felt that this creature was making endless eye contact with them.
"Y-Yeah." Shinji added. "Does anyone have an idea?"
"Let me try." Ocellus said as she then turns into one and starts speaking puckwudgie. But then the creature growls before turning its back and fired quils out of its back causing everyone to duck behind the desks as thankfully no one got hurt.
"Oh!" Fluttershy said as she grabbed the puckwudgie and calmed it down as it was no longer aggrivated. She then looked at the heroes and students who shakely got out of their hiding spots. "Is everycreature ok?"
"Well...none of us is hurt so yeah." Hibiki said as he petted Silverstream who hugged him in fear.
"Um, Ocellus?" Yusei asked looking over at the said changeling who hid behind Shinji. "What did you say to it?"
"I-I-I just s-simply said "Hello. How are you?"." Ocellus said shakely.
"Well that went well." Smolder sarcasticly remarked.
"Ok let's try this again." Fluttershy said as she placed the puckwudgie on the floor.
The puvkwudgie gave the heroes and students that same glance it gave earlier.
Seeing that no one was ready, Yusei sighed as he walked up to it.
"Wait Yusei!" Smolder said trying to stop her friend from engaging the creature that tried to attack them.
When Yusei was a few feet near the Puckwudgie he kneeled down to it as it monitored his everymove.
Yusei then took a deep breath before he then reached his hand out and put it on the puckwudgie's head.
The young 6 and the other heroes gasped and closed their eyes as they prepared for the worse to come.
But there was silience that was soon replaced with a happy chirp.
They looked over with shocked looks at what they were seeing.
The puckwudgie was happily nuzzling its head at Yusei's hand as it happily chirped.
Yusei couldn't help but chuckle at the creature's affection as he sat down which allowed the puckwudgie to sit on his lap so that it can be petted much more.
Yusei then turned to look over at his friends. "Its ok guys. Its not gonna attack us."
Smolder was the first to walk over to Yusei as she cautiously eyed the creature that was sitting in her friend's lap. She then sat next to Yusei who stops petting the puckwudgie as the said creature looked at Smolder.
Smolder looked over to Yusei who nodded in response before she slowly put her claw on the puckwudgie's head and petted it which surprisingly made it let out a happy chirp before it nuzzled next to Smolder's claw.
"Oh wow." Smolder said amazed before looking at Yusei. "How?"
Yusei shrugged. "I guess we needed to be more natural and quiet."
"Ok?" Smolder then looks back at the others. "Hey guys, its ok."
One by one the other heroes and students went to the puckwudgie and surprisingly, Yusei was right. They had to be more quiet and natural to show that they weren't a threat.
"Wow! Heheh! This little guy so is fun!" Silverstream giggled as the puckwudgie jumped into her lap and tickled her a bit.
"You're right." Hibiki said as he also laughed as he and Silverstream unknowingly held hands.
"Well done class." Fluttershy said happily. "I knew you can do it."
"Give the credit to Yusei." Sandbar said. "He was the one who befriended it first.
"Oh it was nothing." Yusei chuckled.
(Later)
It was now time for Pinkie's cooking class as the heroes and students saw Pinkie appearing out behind her desk as confetti appeared.
"How does she always do that?" Shinji whispered.
"I think we shouldn't question it." Yusei replied.
"Ok class!" Pinkie said brightly. "Today you all will be in groups to make a delicous treat for me to taste! All the ingrediants and recipes that you need are right next to you! Your time starts...now!"
Soon the heroes a students were put into groups.
Hibiki, Silverstream, Shinji, Ocellus and Sandbar were in one group.
And Yusei, Smolder, X, Yona and Gallus were in the other as the time started.
"Ok, what should we make?" Hibiki asked to his group.
"How about these?" Ocellus asked as she showed a recipe for apple fritters.
"That seems like a good idea." Shinji suggested.
"Ok then, let's do it!" Hibiki shouted.
"So what do we make?" X asked his group.
"Let's check what the recipe book has." Yusei asked as he checked before stopping. "How about this?"
It shows a cinamon roll recipe.
"Mm. Yona love cinamon rolls!" Yona said excitedly.
"Then let's try that." Gallus suggested.
"Eh." Smolder shrugged. "Works with me."
The groups then got to work on the recipes. Let's see which group's dish will be-
"Hey! We have no time for that!" Pinkie shouted. "Time to use some spongebob."
"Your time is up!" Pinkie announced as she looked at the heroes and students.
The said heroes and students were tried as they sweated. All that work to get the recipes right really tuckered them.
"Ok groups, let see what you made."
Group A (Hibiki, Silverstream, Shinji, Ocellus and Sandbar) showed the apple fritters as Pinkie examined them before taking a bite out of one them.
"Great!"
Group A sighed in relief upon hearing that.
"Ok, now group B's turn!"
Group B (Yusei, Smolder, X, Yona and Gallus) walked to Pinkie as they presented the cinamon rolls as Pinkie examines them before she takes a bite out of one of them.
"Amazing!"
Group B fell to the ground in relief.
"You groups did a good job!" Pinkie cheered.
(Later)
"Man that was tiring!" Hibiki groaned streching his limbs.
The heroes and the young 6 were now relaxing outside. Since Pinkie Pie's cooking class was really tiring to the group, they decided to head out to chill out.
"You said it." Sandbar said relaxing next to a tree.
"Atleast its way better then the EEA rules we had to live by in the school." Smolder commented.
"You just HAD to bring that up?" Gallus asked.
While Ocellus was reading a book, she noticed that Shinji was sitting on a rock away from the group as he looked on into the distance.
Both curious and concerned, Ocellus got up and walked to Shinji and sat next him.
"Are you ok?" She asked.
That got Shinji to look at her as he sighed. "Well in all honesty, not that much."
"But why?"
Shinji was quiet for a few moments before saying. "I'm thinking of that Black Battler guy. You know, the guy who was taken to canterlot's dungeons. Well, I feel that like us, he was brought here against his will. What if that there could be other people from different worlds being brought here?"
"That does make sense." Ocellus admitted. "You think that hooded guy with Chrysalis could be the reason behind this?"
"Maybe. I don't know." Shinji sadly admitted.
Wanting to cheer up her friend, Ocellus flew up and hugged Shinji, which made the said human boy blush.
"U-Um, what are you doing?"
"Giving you a hug." Ocellus happily answered. "You look like you needed one."
Shinji was stunned for a bit before he smiles and pats Ocellus' head.
The bell rung which got the heroes' and the young 6's attention.
"Now its time for Professor Dash's class!" Silverstream said.
"Then let's get going." X suggested.
(Later)
It was now Rainbow Dash's class as the said pegasus flew into the classroom.
"Ok everycreature!" She said. "Who's ready to have an awesome time?" Everyone cheered. "Alright. Today we'll have a race around this track."
Everyone looked to see the track as it had many obsticles around it.
"Alright, now we need two creatures to take part."
Eventually X and Gallus were chosen to take part in the race as they went to the starting tracks as Rainbow stood near them while the other students sat on the branches watching.
“Alright you two,” she began, “I want a nice and friendly race. I don’t wanna see any fighting or cheating going on, and no flying during this, okay?”
The two nodded before looking at each other.
"I hope to have a fun race Gallus." X said.
"Please." Gallus smirked. "This already got fun."
They faced forward ready to start running as Rainbow Dash then said,
“On your marks! Get set!” She then blew her whistle.
Both X and Gallus then took off like a speeding bullet as they ran towards the track.
The first obsticle was a large wall they had to climb with some ropes.
The two got to the wall as they climbed up the ropes and soon got ontop of the wall before jumping off and continued the race.
X and Gallus soon headed to rotating barrells that they jump over many times before they managed to head into two logs that Rainbow Dash made safe for the race.
X and Gallus soon managed to exit the logs before they headed to a large water pit that they had to jump over.
Once gaining enough speed, the two jumped over the water pit but Gallus screamed as he was about to fall in but X grabbed him and saved him from his wet fate.
"Um, thanks." Gallus said with a tired smile.
"No problem." X smiled. "Not let's get back to the race."
Gallus smirked before the two headed back to racing each other.
Soon X and Gallus jump through the holes of an obsticle before grabbing ropes to then swing across another water pit.
Soon the two then dashed towards the finish line as they were neck to neck and soon after for what felt like an eternity they both crossed the finish line.
The two fell to the ground as they breathed heavily and they looked at each other.
"You're...Really....Fast....Gallus," X said between breaths.
"Thanks...You...Too," Gallus replied while gasping for air.
Once the two regained the breaths, X got up and walked to Gallus before helping the said blue griffon up.
"Well, who won, Professor Dash?" One of the students asked.
Rainbow rubbed the back of her neck and said, "Actually it was a tie, you both crossed at the same time."
X and Gallus said nothing but instead smile at each other before high-fiving each other.
(Later)
"Man what a tiring day." Hibiki yawned.
The heroes and the young 6 were heading back to their dorms since the school day was now over.
"Easy for you to say." Smolder said to Hibiki with a smirk. "You weren't the one running."
"But you were tired earlier." Silverstream innocently pointed out making the orange dragon groan in annoyance.
"But atleast we had a fun day with each other." Ocellus said, trying to lighten the mood.
"She is right on that." Shinji commented.
"Yona love spending time with new friends!" Yona said hugging her friends tightly.
The group laughed as they had a group hug with each other.
We can see both Princess Celestia and Princess Luna heading down into the dungeons of Canterlot. They were acommanied by some pony guards in case anything happened
You may be thinking on why are the Princesses of Equestria are heading to the dungeons of Canterlot.
It is very simple. To question a prisoner who was in there.
"Who may that be" you ask? Well its Black Battler.
When Black Battler was brought to Celestia and Luna, they considered to send him to tartarus so that he could no longer harm anyone.
But they realised that he may have key information about that hooded figure who was with Chrysalis and find out what their motives are.
They soon arrived to the cell that held Black Battler inside as it was guarded by two pony guards.
"Has anything happened?" Celestia asked.
"No, he hasn't said much." One of the pony guards replied.
"He's been sitting in his cell all day." The other added. "I think he was waiting for you."
Celestia and Luna weren't really surprised. They heard from the heroes that Black Battler was a bit of a silent yet cunning type.
And it made them question if they really have him locked up, or he chooses to be locked up but escape anytime he wanted to. Nevertheless, they had to be cautious.
They motioned the pony guards to let them pass to which the pony guards nodded as they openned the door which allowed the princesses to walk inside.
Once inside they found Black Battler sitting on a chair behind a desk as he smirked at the two princesses entering his cell.
The princesses felt uneasy as they saw his smirk but they didn't want to give him any satisfication so they managed to mask their fear.
"Black Battler," Celestia began with a stern look. "Do you or do you not know why you are here?"
"Of course I do." Black Battler replied still having the smirk that was plasted on his face. "After all what else is this room meant to be for?"
"Despense with the mockery." Luna said. "You know fully well what you are here for."
"That's right." Celestia said. "There are questions we need to ask you and you're going to answer them."
"And if I don't?" Black Batter asked.
"Then you can remain here until you agree to comply."
Then Black Battler laughs which in all honesty, terrified the princesses. It was a hollow laugh that would haunt them forever.
"You do realise I can stay here for as long as I want and I wouldn't give a care." He said.
That got the princesses to become silent as they realised that Black Battler had a point. He could just continue to stay in his cell and have no problem while Chrysalis and her companion still roam free and still posse a threat to Equestria.
"But."
That got the Princesses to look at him with confused looks.
"But what?" Celestia asked.
"I will answer your questions," Black Battler began. "but you have to do something for me first."
That got the princesses to raise eyebrows.
"That being?" Luna questioned.
"I want you to bring in the four boys who defeated me, to be the ones to question me."
The Princesses' eyes widen. He was obviously refering to Hibiki, Yusei, Shinji and X.
"But why them?" Celestia asked.
"To be honest," Black Battler began. "I don't like you. But I like those boys since they were the ones who defeated me in battle. So bring them here to question me and I'll answer all your questions."
"How can we trust that you'll keep your end of the bargin?" Luna questioned with a brow.
Black Battler smirked. "Does it look like you have a choice?"
Black Battler had the princesses beat there. He had information that concerned Chrysalis and her companion. And They both knew that he wasn't going to answer the questions unless he has the heroes come here to ask him those questions.
Both of the Princesses sighed. There wasn't really much of an option for them. They needed answers and this was the only way they were going to get them.
"Very well." Celestia said. "We'll bring the heroes here to question you. Just remember to keep you part of the bargin."
"You have my word." Black Battler said.
After that, the Princesses exited the cell as Luna looked at the pony guards.
"Make sure he does not try anything until we come back." She said.
The pony guards nodded which allowed the princesses to head back up to the castle.
(Meanwhile)
It was now the weekend for the school of friendship, so the students were allowed to do whatever they wanted for the next two days until the school resumes.
Right now Twilight was in her officer as she was sorting out paper work for the next classes planned as Starlight and Spike helped her out.
"Phew." Twilight sighed blissfully. "Things have been busy around the school."
"You can say that again." Starlight said putting some books on a shelf. "But I guess this is normal for schools."
"Oh you have no idea. We should also now get to planning for the next lessons."
"And then can we take a break?" Spike groaned as he was tired from the work he was doing.
Twilight couldn't help but chuckle. "Sure we can."
That got Spike to smile but a few seconds later he then burped out a letter.
"A letter?" Starlight questioned, not expecting its arrival.
Spike picked the letter up and opened it before reading through it before saying. "Its from Princess Celestia. She wants us to bring the others along with Hibiki, Yusei, Shinji and X to canterlot."
That confused Twilight. Her, the rest of the mane 7 and Spike she can understand, but why also Hibiki, Yusei, Shinji and X? Was something big happening?!
"Where are the boys?" She asked.
"I heard from Rainbow Dash that they went to sugarcube corner to hang out with their friends." Starlight replied.
"Good, let's round up the others and then pick up the boys."
(At Sugarcube Corner)
"Cheers!"
The heroes and the young 6 put their glasses of milkshake together before they began to drink up their treats. To celebrate their fun week at school, the group decided to head to sugarcube corner to relax. And obviously it was recommended by Pinkie.
"Ahh~." Hibiki said as he finished drinking his milkshake. "This is the life."
"You're not wrong." Shinji said still drinking his milkshake. "While I do enjoy school, its nice to hang out with friends outside of school."
"Amen my good friend." Gallus commented.
"Its so exciting that we'll have two days off to do what we like!" Silverstream giggled.
"So does anycreature have an idea?" Sandbar asked.
However before anyone could think of an idea, the door to the sugarcube cube corner to reveal the rest of the mane 7 and Spike.
"Oh hi!" Pinkie said appearing from behind the counter. "What are you all doing here?"
"Yeah, what's going on?" Yusei asked.
"We need everypo-, I mean everycreature." Twilight said correcting herself. "To come with us to canterlot. That includes you boys."
"Why, is something wrong?" X asked.
"We don't know. Celestia said in a letter that you had to come to canterlot."
"Oh! Field trip!" Pinkie said before appearing behind Twilight.
"Can we come?" Ocellus asked.
"Yeah, it would be fun to bring our friends on this trip!" Hibiki said.
"So we get to go to canterlot?" Silverstream said to Hibiki with stars in her eyes.
"We sure do!"
"Yay!"
Twilight couldn't help but chuckle. "Sure. I don't think it'll be bad."
"Well then, let's get going." X said.
(Later)
After gathering everyone, the heroes, the mane 7, Spike and the young 6 were aboard the train. The heroes still couldn't get over the fact that the train as actually being pulled by some stallions rather than it moving itself. But since techology was still developing in Equestria, they'll let it slide.
In the train carts were where our heroes and their friends were inside. The mane 7 and Spike sat at onside while the heroes and the young 6 were sitting at the other.
"So what is canterlot like?" Ocellus asked.
"Well its very peaceful looking and lively." Yusei explained. "You can see millions of ponies walk around the entire city like everyday."
"Seriously?" Smolder asked amazed.
"Yeah, we've seen it two times in person." X replied.
"Well me and Hibiki didn't see it a second time and you can guess why." Shinji added.
"Did you also meet Princess Celestia and Princess Luna?" Sandbar asked.
"We did." Yusei replied before explaining. "But Hibiki and Shinji didn't meet Princess Luna so I guess it'll be their first time meeting her in person."
"Yona can't wait to meet Princesses!" Yona said excitedly.
"I'm more wondering on why we're being called to canterlot." Shinji said.
"I can say the same thing aswell." X said.
"Well we'll get our answers soon." Hibiki said.
(Later)
After for about thirty-five minutes, our heroes and their friends soon arrived at canterlot.
"Oh wow!" Silverstream said amazed. "This place is amazing!"
"I know." Ocellus examined in amazement.
Yusei couldn't help but chuckle at the excitement of the two. "Come on. We got to meet up with the Princesses."
Soon everyone headed to to canterlot's castle as they were allowed to enter into the castle.
Once venturing in deeper, they soon managed to enter the throne room where they saw the princesses waiting for them.
"Welcome." Celestia said with a motherly smile. "We are glad that you made it."
"Its no problem Celestia." Yusei said.
"Oh, before we get to the reason on why you,re here, allow me to introduce Hibiki and Shinji to my sister Luna."
"Nice to meet you Princess Luna." Hibiki greeted. "I'm Hibiki Kuze."
"A-And I'm Shinji Ikari." Shinji said shyly.
"It is a pleasure to meet you both." Luna said as she shook Hibiki's hand with her hoof.
"Well now that we got them to know each other, I think we need to get down to business." Yusei said.
"Yeah, why did you bring us here?" X asked.
However before any of the Princesses could reply a voice was heard.
"Auntie!"
Everyone looked to see a unicorn stallion with a blonde mane, blue eyes, a suit which had a rose on it and a star-shaped cutiemark.
The heroes and the young 6 then noticed that Rarity was glaring at the stallion while silently growling.
"Um, do you think Professor Rarity knows that stallion?" Sandbar whispered to his friends.
"Way to point out the obvious." Smolder deadpanned.
The stallion gasped once he saw the heroes and the young 6 (Except Sandbar) before pointing a hoof at them and said. "Auntie, why are there vile creatures inside the castle?!"
'Oh great, another racist jerk.' The heroes and the young 6 thought. And it seemed that Neighsay wasn't enough.
"They are not vile creatures." Celestia said sternly. "They are our friends."
"Friends?" The stallion repeated. "You say that three hairless monkeys, one monkey machine, a wild cow, two bird abomniations and an overgrown lizard are your friends? That is utterly ridiculous."
Gallus and Smolder were now mad. They were about to jump at that stallion but Yusei stopped them.
"Don't." Yusei said. "He's not worth it."
"Oh, I see you're keeping a leash on your "Friends"." The stallion smirked.
"Ok, who is this guy?" X asked turning to the princesses and the mane 7 while pointing at the stallion with his thumb.
Rarity hissed. "That, is Prince Blueblood. He is Celestia and Luna's nephew, and he is a royal pain in the flank."
"Wait, he'a a prince?!" Shinji asked shocked. He couldn't believe someone who was a jerk can be a prince.
"And he's Celestia's and Luna's nephew?!" Hibiki asked just as shocked.
"That is right." Blueblood smirked. "So all you vile monsters best treat me with respect."
"Sorry, but no." Yusei said with an unamused look on his face which soon formed into a glare. "Royalty or not, we only show respect to those who treat others with kindness and friendship."
"You dare show me disrespect me foul creature?" Blueblood questioned with a returning glare.
"Hey! He has a name you know!" Smolder said as she angirly glared at Blueblood for insulting her friend.
"Besides he's already told you that we only show respect to those who treat others with kindness and friendship." Hibiki said. "Also you better have that attitude of yours changed...snowballs."
Blueblood went wide at what Hibiki just said to him as the young 6, Spike and the mane 7 snickered. Shinji was holding back the urge to giggle and Yusei and X smirked.
"What did you call me?" Blueblood asked feeling pissed.
Hibiki smirked. "I called you Snowballs. S-N-O-W-B-A-L-L-S. Don't you know how to spell? Heck, even a child can spell it and can get an A+. Are you admitting that a child can beat you at something? That's stupid. Meaning you are as dumb as a rock. No. That would be an insult to rocks because even they are smarter than you. Heck you are so dumb that you would even be an insult to the word dumb. Such a disappointment. Then again, you have no need to feel disappointed, because you were already a disappointment." Hibiki leaned towards Blueblood while he still had that smirk plastered on his face. "Get the picture?"
Then a roar of laughter was heard. The Princesses were laughing, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Starlight, Spike, Sandbar, Gallus, Yona and Smolder were on the ground laughing while holding their stomachs as tears came out of their eyes. Rarity also laughed. Shinji, Twlight, Fluttershy, Silverstream and Ocellus giggled. And Yusei and X chuckled. Hibiki chuckled himself before looking at Blueblood who's face was so red with anger, an apple would turn green with envy.
"How dare you you foul beast!" Blueblood shouted in anger. "Auntie, send this foul beast to the dungeons and make sure he never sees the light of day at once!"
Hibiki paled. He then looked over to Celestia and Luna who gave Blueblood straight faces.
"You need to have more self-control my nephew." Celestia spoke calmly yet sternly. "Hibiki will not be sent to the dungeons."
Hibiki sighed in relief. He was glad that he wasn't gonna be sent to the dungeons anytime soon.
Blueblood fummed in anger before stomping out of the room and shut the door behind him.
Celestia sighed before looking at the heroes and the young 6. "I'm really sorry for the treatment you gave you all."
"Oh, its ok Princess Celestia." Silverstream said with an assuring smile.
"Though what's his problem?" Shinji asked.
"He thinks he's all high and mighty." Rainbow snarked. "He only respects himself and a few canterlot ponies."
"Plus he is far from a gentlecolt." Rarity added. "He treated me so unladylike. He made me do everything and even ruined my gala dress to save himself from a cake."
Now the heroes really didn't like Blueblood. If anything he was a massive jerk. But they wondered what the gala was but they decided to care about it later.
Yusei then turned to look at the princesses. "So why did you bring us here?"
Celestia sighed before answering. "It has something to do with Black Battler."
That made the mane 7, Spike and the young 6 gasp while the heroes became tense.
"What about him?" X asked.
"We headed to his cell in the dungeons this morning to question him about his involvement with Chrysalis and her partner." Luna explained.
"And what did he say?" Twilight asked.
"Nothing." Celestia sighed. "He refused to have the questioned asked to him."
"Unless." Luna began.
"Unless what?" Starlight questioned.
"Unless we have Hibiki, Yusei, Shinji and X to question him."
"Really?" Shinji asked. "Why us?"
"He said that he likes you." Celestia replied.
"Really?" Hibiki said. "Well you need to tell him that I'm not gay."
Everyone starred at him with a dumbfold expression as a cricket was heard in the background.
"She means that he respects us for defeating him." Yusei said flatly.
"Ooooooh." Hibiki realised. "That makes more sense."
"Are you sure he'll answer the questions we say to him?" X asked looking at the princesses.
"No." Luna admitted. "But its the only way to get information from him."
"Then don't you worry. You can count on us!" Hibiki said.
(Later)
The princesses then lead the heroes, the mane 7, Spike and the young 6 down into the dungeons before they arrived at Black Battler's cell which was being guarded by two pony guards.
"This is where he is kept at." Celestia said. She then gave a sheet of paper to Yusei. "This will contain the questions you will need to ask him."
"Thank you Celestia." Yusei said.
"Are you sure you'll be ok in there with...him?" Ocellus asked feeling a sense of dread coming from inside the cell.
"Yeah, we can come in with you guys if you want." Rainbow offered.
"No its ok." X assured. "Besides, he only wants us, besides we don't want to endanger you guys since he's in there."
"Well...just be safe." Smolder said.
Yusei chuckled and patted Smolder's head which caused the said dragon to blush. "Don't worry, we'll be fine."
"W-Who said I-I'm worried?" Smolder stuttered as she looked away to hide her blush while crossing her arms and pouted.
Yusei chuckled again before looking at Hibiki, X and Shinji who nodded before the four heroes entered the cell as they were greeted of seeing Black Battler sitting on his chair behind the desk as he smirked. It was clear to the heroes that he had been expecting them.
"Well well," He began. "You really did show up."
"Don't play around." X said. "Celestia and Luna kept their part of the bargin, so now its your turn."
"Very well." Black Battler motioned to the chair at the desk which was in front of the heroes. "So, who's gonna be my main questioner?"
The heroes looked at each other before Yusei spoke up.
"I'll do it." He said before he then sat on the chair before giving Black Battler direct eye contact to know that he was being serious. "Ok, so are you ready?"
"Shoot." Black Battler simply said.
"Ok." Yusei then checked the first question on the paper and read it out. "Who exactly are you?"
"Well, if you want to know my try name its Battler Ushiromiya of the Ushiromiya family."
That got the heroes to give raised eyebrows. Since they never heard of a family of that name in any other their worlds, it was obvious that he was from another world himself.
Black Battler continued. "Though it depends it you would consider me as the REAL Battler Ushiromiya."
Yusei then gained a questioning look. "What do you mean by that?"
"Isn't it obvious? It means that I'm a clone of a person of the same name."
Yusei nodded in understanding. "Ok then. How were you made then?"
"Lets just say that a witch created me as a personification of the theory of the person I was based off being a culprint of murdering his family."
"A-A witch?" Shinji asked nervously.
"Isn't a witch a bit far-fetched?" X questioned.
"Not really." Hibiki said. "Considering we're in a world of talking creatures who use magic and there is the existence of other worlds, I don't think witches are far-fetched as they sound."
"Agreed." Yusei said before looking back at Black Battler. "So you were made personified version of theories surrounding a young man looking like you being the culprint of murdering his family?"
"Correct." Black Battler confirmed.
"Then how exactly did you came to possesion of Chrysalis' partner?"
Black Batter sighed for a bit. "Well let's say I was killed in game and was never seen again."
"So that means Chrysalis' partner must've found a way to ressurrect you." X said.
"That's right." Black Battler confirmed.
"Ok. Now we know about you, we need to know what you know about Chrysalis and her partner." Yusei said.
However before Yusei could say more Black Battler spoke up. "Listen, I need you four to help me with something."
"Which is?" X questioned with a raised eyebrow.
Black Battler remained silent for a few moments before replying. "I need you four to get me out of here. I can easily escape but that'll make the princesses see me as a threat more and try to go after me. I'm no longer with the bug queen and that shady sorcerer-"
"Then tell us what you know!" Yusei said cutting Black Battler off. "Tell us, who was that man with Chrysalis. Tell us what he plans to do next and maybe, just maybe, we can help you."
Black Battler remained silent for a bit before nodding. "Very well."
"Ok. So who was that man with Chrysalis?"
"Well from what I heard when he placed me in some sort of coffin to revive me he is called Shang Tsung."
"Shang Tsung?" Shinji asked.
"Yes." Black Battler said. "He's a soul sorcerer. As as the name suggests, he's a sorcerer that mainly does things that involve necromancy."
"Nercomancy?" X questioned.
"Necromancy refers to the ability to control the bodies and/or souls of the deceased." Hibiki explained. "It is most frequently depicted as being able to resurrect the dead to varying to degrees, from shambling corpses to conscious zombies to even complete Resurrection. More powerful users and directly convert the living into the undead, allowing them to bypass conventional durability by turning an opponent into a mindless zombie at the user's control."
"Yikes." Shinji shivered. "That's scary."
"So I'm guessing that this Shang Tsung used necromancy to bring you back to life." Yusei questioned.
"Correct." Black Battler confirmed. "And I also learned he is not from my world as he knows about things my world doesn't."
"Not surprised." Yusei muttered before questioning. "How did he end up in Equestria and how long has he been in it?"
"As how he entered Equestria I don't have an exact answer. But I learned that he had been in Equestria for about a year. The reason on how and why the princesses didn't detect him, I'm not sure aswell."
"He must be really smart if he was able to keep his existence in Equestria hidden for that long." Hibiki commented.
Black Battler gave out a laugh. "Oh, you have no idea. Especailly since he's not alone."
"Yeah, with Chrysalis on his side, it'll be a problem." Shinji said.
"Who said I was refering to Chrysalis?"
That got the heroes to have their eyes widen in shock once they heard Black Battler said that.
"You mean he came to this world with other people?!" X asked.
"Correct." Black Battler confirmed. "I heard that he had some partners who came to Equestria with him. And just like him, they had also came from different worlds."
"If he has other people working with him, why did he go to Chrysalis and help her?" Hibiki asked.
"Well it was a way to test Equestria's heroes which also included you and well...I'm pretty sure you know the rest."
"That means Shang Tsung tested us so that he could learn our strengths and weaknesses." X said. "I'm just glad we didn't reveal too much."
"But I wonder on how we were saved from the clones of the mane 6 when they used the elements." Hibiki said.
"It was because the Tree of Harmony saw them unworthy of using the elements." Shinji explained which got Hibiki, Yusei, X and even Black Battler to look at him weirdly.
"How would you know that?" Yusei asked.
"I-I sometimes s-study Equestrian History with O-Ocellus." Shinji said with an embarassed blush which earned a chuckle from Hibiki, Yusei and X.
"Can you elaborate on what you said about the Tree of Harmony?" Hibiki asked.
"Oh, well the Tree of Harmony was in fact the reason that that the Elements of Harmony exist." Shinji explained. "So I guess when the clones used the elements of harmony, the Tree of Harmony must've sensed the evil within their hearts and decided to...well...you saw what happened."
"Also wait a sec." Yusei said as he realised something before looking at Black Battler. "How does Shang Tsung know about us?"
Black Battler sighed before speaking. "Think about it. Have you four ever wondered on how exactly you ended up in Equestria?"
The heroes thought about it. Then after a few minutes their eyes widen in shock upon realisation.
"Wait." X began. "Are you saying-"
"Bingo." Black Battler said cutting X off. "He is in fact the reason on why you guys are in Equestria. Though, he didn't really mean to summon you intentionally. He was using the something to bring people like him and his "friends" to help them take over Equestria."
That shocked the heroes. This Shang Tsung was really a dangerous person. And the fact that he wasn't alone and that he was trying to bring people like him into Equestria, well, they can't believe to imagine the damage they might cause.
Before they could say anything Black Battler stopped them. "Before you ask, that's all I know. Seriously, that's all I know."
"I see." Yusei commented before standing up. "Then I guess we got our answers. Also Black Battler."
"Yes?"
"We can't promise that we'll convince the Princesses to let you out. But we can promise we'll try our best."
Black Battler scroffs. "I guess its better than nothing."
The heroes then left the cell as they were greeted by the Princesses, the Mane 7, Spike and the Young 6.
"We managed to get the answers." X said.
"So, what did you four find out?" Celestia asked.
(Later)
The heroes explained everything to the others about what Black Battler had told him while they were in his cell.
The Princesses were shocked to know that there is someone like Shang Tsung out there. It was frightening to them that someone like that was with Chrysalis of all people. Meaning whatever that they were planning to do next in Equestria was anyone'a guess. But whatever it was, it can not be good.
"So there is really somecreature like that roaming free with similar minded individuals and are working with Chrysalis?" Celestia asked getting a nod from the heroes.
"So, by judging what Black Battler had said, Shang Tsung might be the biggest threat that Equestria had ever seen." Luna commented.
"Agreed." Celestia said before looking back at the heroes. "Thank you for helping us get the answers."
"It was no problem Celestia." Hibiki smiled.
"But, we need to ask you something." Yusei said which earned a questioning look from the Princesses.
"Which is?" Luna asked.
Yusei took a deep breath before replying. "We want you to have Black Battler free from his cell."
