Chapter 1: Night of the Living Plastic
Space, a vast and unknown frontier where there could be an unknown number of life throughout the universe. There is one planet that has 8 billion people living on it known as Earth and in a city known as Canterlot City, an alarm clock goes off before a bright red hand quickly hits snooze. Soon a teenage girl with bright red skin and dark pink hair set up from her bed and stretched her arms. She soon got out and got dressed before heading down the stairs and quickly grabbed a muffin before heading out the door. "Daisy, please be careful while out!" A woman called out from a different part of the house.
"I will mom, just heading to work!" Daisy replied. "It's my first day and a girl named Twilight is going to show me the ropes!" She then grabbed a car key before going out the door.
Later at Canterlot City Mall, Daisy was wearing a uniform as she was working at a techno store while a girl wearing glasses with bright purple skin and indigo hair with a pink strip in it was showing her the ropes. "And if you can't find what the customer is looking for, just pull up your tablet and search it up on there to see if we still have it in stock or not." She told Daisy.
"Thanks, Twilight." She replied with a smile. "And I just have one question: Uh, do I need to put the password in every time I use the tablet or…?"
"Oh don't, once you put the password in, it'll automatically login on its own." Twilight assured her.
"Hey Twilight." A teen boy's voice called out as the two girls looked over and saw Flash Sentry walking over to them. "You think you can help me out with something?"
"Oh sure." Twilight replied before she looked at Daisy. "Be right back." She then walked over to Flash with a smile. "So, what seems to be the problem?"
"It's my phone." Flash answered as he pulled out his iphone. "Every time I try to use it, I keep on getting this gurgling noise."
"Are you serious right now?" Twilight questioned with disbelief. "That's the 12th phone today that has the same problem. A bunch of other people came in and said their phones have been making the same noise every time they turn it on." Twilight then took his phone before turning it on and they both heard the gurgling noise. "Yup, and it's the same noise."
"So I guess that means you can't fix it?" Flash questioned.
"Give me like twenty minutes, and I'll see what I can do." Twilight replied before she walked back over to Daisy.
"He seems nice." Daisy mentioned as she looked at Flash before she turned to Twilight. "Is he your boyfriend?"
"What? Oh no, Flash is just a friend." She quickly replied. "I already have a boyfriend named Timber. He runs a camp outside of the city with his sister so I don't exactly see him too often during the summer."
"I'm sure he finds the time to come by and surprise you." Daisy mentioned with a smile. "Now come on, let's get to work."
The rest of the day was spent working at the mall before lunch break started and Twilight introduced Daisy to the rest of her friends: Sunset Shimmer, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Fluttershy, and Rarity. The girls talked for a bit as Rainbow bragged that they are a band and Daisy mentioned that she would love to hear some other songs sometime later. Soon as their lunch break was over, the girls made plans to hang out later after work as they went back to their jobs.
Soon the sun was beginning to set as Twilight and Daisy were back in their regular clothing and ready to head back home. "Uh Twilight, Daisy, can I have a moment with you both?" Their manager asked as he walked up to them. "I sent Bucks done in the basement to stack a few boxes but he hasn't come back up to get the rest. I'm worried he's slacking on the job again, so I'm going to need you both to finish what he started and tell him to get his lazy ass back up here."
"Yes, sir." Both of them replied before their boss showed them the remaining boxes. The two of them picked up as much as they could as they were a bit heavy to carry. Twilight wanted to use her levitation magic to help carry them but she didn't want to freak out her new friend right before an extra pair of hands helped lift the boxes she was carrying. She looked behind them and saw Flash helping her carry them.
"Flash, what are you doing here?" Twilight questioned him. "The mall is about to close."
"I know, but I was getting a couple of things for my mom's birthday and I noticed you two were having trouble with these boxes on my way out." Flash mentioned with a smile. "Can't a friend help out a friend?"
"Nonetheless that friend could help with the elevator?" Daisy grunted as she struggled to press the elevator button while holding the boxes. Suddenly a finger pressed the button for her before they saw a man with dark red skin, brown hair, and a burnt scar on the right side of his face wearing a business suit standing next to the elevator doors. "Thank you, sir."
"Eh, no problem." He replied as the elevator door opened and they all went inside. "Consider it a little something for my business later."
"Well, our boss is going to have a little talk with Bucks when we send him back up." Twilight mentioned as they set the boxes down on the elevator floor.
"Oh what a coincidence, because my business is with that guy." The man mentioned. "Well actually someone hired me to do business with him."
"Why? Does he owe money to someone?" Flash asked as Twilight hit the elevator button for the basement.
"Something like that…" This man replied with a smirk, but when the elevator doors were about to close, a hand quickly stopped them before a woman with hot pink skin and pinkish white hair stepped in. She was wearing a fur coat and a hot pink dress as sunglasses covered her eyes. "Oh great…" The man muttered with annoyance as he knew this woman.
"Sorry, but I'm late." This woman spoke as she walked in and stood next to the man and Flash.
"It's no problem, we could have held the elevator for you." Flash assured this woman before she looked at him when she lifted up her sunglasses.
"Well, aren't you a gentleman?" She said with a seductive tone as she smiled.
"Oh my god, you're Verosika Mayday." Daisy said as she recognized the woman. "I'm a really big fan of your songs."
"Oh well, it's so nice to meet a fan when I'm out from work." Verosika mentioned with a smile.
"Even if you're a washed up skank." The man muttered to himself which made her quickly look at him.
"What was that?!"
"Oh nothing." The man replied as Verosika leaned in close to him to get a better look.
"You look strangely familiar to me." She mentioned with a brow. "Have we met somewhere before?" Before the man could say anything about that, the elevator soon reached the basement as the two teens picked up the boxes and carried them out of the elevator. "What are we doing down here? I need to be in the parking garage where my car is."
"Don't worry, will drop these boxes off and get Bucks before we--" Twilight was cut short when they heard a loud noise coming from down the hall. This piqued each of their curiosity as they all walked towards where they heard the sound before opening a door and entering a room filled with plastic mannequins. "Bucks! Bucks are you here!"
"The manager is pretty mad at you!" Daisy called out as they walked deeper into the room before the door they walked through before suddenly slammed closed on its own. They quickly ran over and tried to open it but it was somehow locked.
"Okay, who the fuck is here?!" The man called out with an annoyed tone. "If this is some kind of joke, it's not funny!"
"I'm with him, I got places to be!" Verosika called out as they wandered about before one of the plastic mannequins started to move its head and look towards them. They heard the creaking of the plastic moving as they quickly turned and saw the plastic mannequin started to move towards them.
"Okay, where this is, you had your fun!" Flash called out before they started seeing more mannequins moving. "Knock it off already, we get it!" None of the mannequins was even replying to them as they all moved closer to the group.
"Okay that's it!" The man shouted as he reached into his suit and pulled out a gun before aiming at them. "I ain't playing no games here, so cut the shit!" The three teens were shocked that he pulled out a gun as Verosika recognized the gun and glared at the man.
"Blitzo!" She growed.
"Yeah, hi, nice to see you again you whore, but now is not the time." Blitzo replied to her before he looked at the team. "By the way, the O is silent." He then glared back at the mannequins. "Now you better stop or I'll--" He was cut short when one of the mannequins raised its arm and cut the gun in half, which shocked the entire group. "Okay, I'm starting to think this is no joke." The group soon got backed up into a corner as Daisy had a frightened look on her face before each mannequin raised their arms up. She then let out a scream when she felt something grab her hand before they looked and saw a man with bright green skin, short black hair with blue streaks in it while he was wearing a red and green jacket.
"Run, all of you!" He shouted as he pulled Daisy out of the way and the others ducked under the mannequins' arms when they chopped the pipes behind them. They followed the man out of the room as the mannequins chased them down. The man led them to another elevator as he quickly opened it and they all went inside. One of the mannequins managed to reach in when the elevated doors started to close before the man grabbed its arm and started jerking it. Eventually he ripped off the mannequin's arm allowing the elevator door to fully close.
"You ripped his arm off." Flash told the guy.
"Yup, just as I thought, plastic." The guy said before he tossed the plastic arm over to Daisy.
"Okay, very nice trick there buddy." Daisy told him after seeing it was a plastic arm. "Now who the hell were those guys, a bunch of punk teens? Is this a punk teen thing?"
"Why would they be a bunch of teens?" The guy questioned her.
"I don't know!"
"Well you were the one who said it, not any of us." The guy pointed out.
"He's got a point." Blitzo told her as Verosika sort of nodded in agreement.
"'Cuse… that many people dress up as mannequins and just to scare people, they have to be a bunch of teenagers." Daisy explained as the guy smiled.
"Huh, it actually makes sense." He told her. "Well done, but they're not a bunch of teenagers, they're not even human. Just as those two aren't human either." He added as he gestured to both Blitzo and Verosika.
This had the two off guard while the three teens looked confused. "Look, maybe you hit your head or something but we don't even know what you're talking about." Blitzo told him.
"I do know what I'm talking about and I do know that you're an imp from the greed ring from hell, just as she's a succubus from the lust ring." The guy told them. "I can tell by the way the two of you smell."
"Look, whatever you're saying or whoever they are down there, I'm sure Bucks has already called the police by now." Twilight spoke up which caught the guy's attention.
"Who's Bucks?"
"A coworker." Twilight answered as they reached the first floor of the building.
"They killed Bucks." The guy said as he walked out of the elevator while the group looked shocked.
"Wait, you mean those things already killed that fucker?!" Blitzo exclaimed.
"That's funny, you can't just see sick things like that!" Daisy told the guy as he pulled out some sort of device from his jacket.
"If you don't mind, look away for a bit." He told them as he aimed his device at the elevator button before pressing the button on the device. It let out a buzzing sound when it lit up and as they were going to say something, the elevator button sort of sparked before the man walked away from them. "There we go. Now they won't be able to follow us."
"Wait, who are they?!" Flash called out before they followed the guy. "You said they weren't human! If they aren't human then what are they?!"
"I told you, plastic." The guy replied. "Living plastic creatures, to be more precise. Right now, they're being controlled by a relay device up on the roof. Now that would be a problem, if I didn't bring this with me." He said as he reached into his jacket and pulled out a rectangular remote detonator bomb as he showed it to them. "So! I'm going to go up on the roof and blow the whole thing up. I might die in the process, but don't worry about me." He told the group as he opened the back door exit and pushed them all out. "You go on and live your lives, you know the whole having ice cream thing. As for the two of you, go back to hell and have a nice time now that extermination day is canceled forever so you don't have to worry about dying by extermination angels. Also, don't tell anyone about this because if any of you do you'll end up getting them killed." He quickly shut the door as the group looked at each other and confusion for the guy reopened the door with a smile. "I'm the Professor, by the way. Who are all of you?"
"Flash Sentry."
"Twilight Sparkle."
"Daisy Glimmer."
"Verosika Mayday."
"Blitzo Buzkso, the o is silent."
"Nice to meet all of you, now run for your lives!" The Professor told them as he held up the detonator before closing the door. The group looked at each other before walking away from the mall.
"Well hopefully Moxxie and Millie took care of the other two." Blitzo muttered.
"You were hired to kill Bucks yourself, weren't you?" Flash asked him. "Because you seemed pretty upset when the Professor told us that they killed him."
"Yeah, him and two other guys." Blitzo replied. "Me and my team were paid to do so and we came here to do it. But my job was done for me and we nearly got killed ourselves by plastic people." Daisy looked at the top of the mall when they were across the street from it as she wondered what the Professor meant.
"Yeah but I still need to get my car from the--" Verosika was going to say before the entire Mall blew up and startled the group. They were shocked and surprised that the professor actually blew the place up. "On second thought, I've been meaning to get a new model…" She said through her teeth with a slight anger in her tone. The three teens then turned to look at the two adults but they were certainly gone. With Sirens coming down the street, the three teens decided to head out as they past by a brown box with green lights blinking between two buildings.
The three of them soon met up with the rest of the Rainbooms at Sunset's place as news about the mall exploded was on TV and Daisy was on the phone with her mother. "Mom, I told you, I'm okay!" She repeated herself. "Me, Twilight, and a guy named Flash were outside the mall when it happened."
"I seriously can't believe the whole place blew up and now most of us are out of jobs!" Rainbow complained.
"Just glad all the animals in the pet department work taken to the vet before it blew up." Fluttershy mentioned before she looked at Twilight and Flash. "How did it exactly blow up?"
"We don't know." Twilight lied. "We were outside when it happened and it just blew up."
"We're just glad you didn't die there, darlings." Rarity mentioned.
"Us too." Flash said before Daisy hung up her phone and plopped down on the couch.
"My own mom tried to give me an interview with some reporter for money, and I told her no and I'll find a new job soon." Daisy told them with a sigh.
"Well, maybe you can come by my house tomorrow and we'll look for a new job together." Twilight offered before she took out her phone. "Let me give you my number so I can text you my address." After giving Daisy her number, she got a text from her mom asking her if she was all right. "I better get home. My parents are probably wondering if I survived that explosion."
"Yeah me too." Flash agreed. "I guess I'll have to look for a present for my mom somewhere else." Each of the girls soon left Sunset's apartment while Daisy was looking at the mannequin arm the professor ripped off before tossing it into a dumpster. Little did she or the other two know something was moving around in the dumpster when she threw the arm away.
The next day, Daisy came over to Twilight's house as they both were looking for a new job as Twilight's mother, Twilight Velvet made breakfast for them. "Here you girls go." She said as she placed a couple of plates of pancakes in front of them. "And you sure you don't need any help finding a job?"
"Yeah mom, we're good." Twilight assured her mom. "He's just going to work and me and Daisy will be fine."
"Okay." Velvet said it before she gave her daughter a kiss on the cheek. "Behave yourselves, I'll see you this afternoon." She soon left the two alone before the two of them heard the doggie door suddenly open and close from the back door.
"Do you have a dog?" Daisy asked her.
"Yeah, but my dog's Spike is upstairs taking a nap." Twilight mentioned as she went over to the back door and inspected the doggie door before she gasped when the door flipped on its own. Daisy wandered next to her as they wondered what was behind it before Twilight carefully pushed the doggie door back and they saw a familiar face, the Professor. They quickly gasp as they were shocked to see him here before they both stood up and Twilight opened the back door. "What are you doing here?!"
"I was going to ask you both the same thing." The Professor replied.
"I live here." Twilight answered before gesturing to Daisy. "She came over to look for a job."
"Well why would you do that for? The Professor asked Daisy.
"Because a certain someone blew up our last job." Daisy mentioned as the Professor pulled out the device they saw before while he had a baffled look on his face.
"That's odd…" He said as he pressed the button on the device as it buzzed. "I must have picked up the wrong signal again. Neither of you are made of plastic are you?" He questioned as he tapped both of their foreheads. "Nope, boneheads. Goodbye then!"
"Oh no you." Flash told him when he suddenly came up behind him and pushed him inside. "We have questions and you got answers."
"Flash, what are you doing here?" Twilight questioned when she saw him.
"He came to my house and said he was tracking a signal." Flash answered as he pointed to the Professor. "He wouldn't tell me what signal and he just disappeared. So I thought he might come here to you, but didn't expect Daisy to be here."
"Well, I guess he could ask him some questions that we're all thinking about." Daisy mentioned. "Lucky we're not at my house otherwise my mom would try to seduce him."
"I wouldn't count on that." Professor mentioned as he walked in and Twilight closed the door.
"Do you want some coffee?" She offered him as he looked around.
"I might as well, but just milk with it, thanks." He told her as the three teens walked into the kitchen.
"I still can't stop thinking about what happened last night." Flash whispered to the two girls as the professor picked up a magazine on the table. "Seriously, I think we should go to the police. All four of us, considering both Blitzo and Verosika just disappeared on us last night."
"That won't last." Professor said to himself as he read a page in the magazine with a smirk. "He's gay and she's an alien, so won't work out at all."
"And we can't exactly blame him considering he was just helping, or even if it was a joke or not…" Twilight mentioned as the Professor picked up a book and quickly flipped through the pages.
"Huh, I did not expect her to marry the werewolf." He muttered as he put the book down before picking up some letters.
"But it said on the news that a body was found in the mall when they put out the flames." Daisy told the two. "That could have been Bucks…"
"'Twilight Velvet.'" The Professor read the name on one of the letters. "This planet and the names they give." He muttered before putting down the letters and noticed his reflection in a mirror on the wall. "Oh well, I could have done worse. Although look at the ears." He said as he wiggled his own ears.
"I mean he was nice and all, but he didn't deserve death." Twilight told the two about Bucks as the Professor picked up a deck of cards and started shuffling them. "Anyway, if we were going to go to the police, especially my brother considering he's a policeman, what are we going to tell them?" The Professor shoveled the cards again and they accidentally flew out of his hands.
"Maybe we should have him explain everything?" Flash suggested as he pointed to the Professor.
"Maybe no." Professor replied before he heard pattering behind the couch. "What was that? Do you have a cat or something?"
"No, I have a dog and he's upstairs asleep." Twilight told him as the Professor went to investigate what it was. But the moment he looked behind the couch, the plastic arm Daisy threw away yesterday jumped up and grabbed him by the throat as it started choking him. "And besides, that's not the point." She added as the professor struggled to get the arm off of his throat. After pouring the cup of coffee into a coffee mug, the three teens walked out of the kitchen to find the Professor struggling on the couch with the plastic arm around his throat.
"I thought I threw that away." Daisy muttered as Twilight set the coffee mug on the table.
"Look, we didn't get your name last night." Flash mentioned. "You're Professor…?" Professor managed to get the arm off as it quickly flew up and grabbed Daisy by the face. She shrieked as she tried to get it off before the professor quickly ran up and tried to help her.
"Don't just stand there you two!" He shouted at both Flash and Twilight who were stunned to see the plastic arm moving on its own. "Help me get it off her face!" They both quickly rushed over and started jerking on the arm to get it off Daisy's face. The group soon fell on to the floor as they struggled to get it off her face before Flash and Twilight managed to get Daisy onto the couch before the Professor pulled out his device and pressed the button on it while aiming it at the arm. He pressed the button a few times before pressing the device on the palm of the arm before it suddenly stopped moving. "It's okay, I stopped it. See? Armless." He tossed it over to Flash as the two girls gasp but it didn't move.
"You think?" Flash asked before the Professor took the arm back and started to walk away from them. The three teens started to follow behind as they weren't done with him. "Hang on, you can't just walk away from us!"
"Yes I can! I'm doing it right now. This is me walking away!" The Professor called out as he walked out the door. "See ya!"
"That arm was moving on its own, and it tried to kill me!" Daisy pointed out.
"Ten out of ten for observation, little miss." The Professor replied.
"You can't just walk away and not tell us anything!" Twilight told him as they started to walk down the street. "That's not fair. You have to tell us what's going on."
"No I don't." The Professor replied before Daisy ran up to him.
"Okay, then we'll go to the police and tell them everything." She told him. "You told us that if we tell anybody about last night, we will get them killed. So it's your choice: Talk or we tell."
"Is that supposed to sound tough?" The Professor questioned with a brow. "Doesn't work on me."
"But who are you?" Twilight questioned.
"I already told you, the Professor."
"Yeah, but Professor who?" Flash asked as the Professor let out a chuckle.
"If I had a dollar for every time I heard that question." He mentioned. "Just the Professor."
"The Professor?" All three of them questioned him.
"Yup."
"Okay, but you have to at least tell us something because we saw some things." Daisy pointed out. "Are you some sort of secret agent or something?"
"No, I was just passing through." The Professor replied. "I'm a long way from home…"
"But how come these plastic things are coming after us?" Twilight asked him.
"Oh so suddenly the entire world revolves around one of you now." The Professor sarcastically. "You all were just an accident. You got in the way, that was it."
"It tried to kill her!" Flash pointed out.
"No, it was after me, not her." The Professor corrected. "You see, last night at the mall, I was there before you three and those two demons just came in and almost ruined the whole thing." He explained. "This morning, I was tracking this down, while it was tracking me down… So the only reason it fixed on each of you is because all of you met me."
"So what you're saying is that the entire world revolves around you?" Daisy questioned with a brow.
"And if that plastic arm was coming after us, because we meant you, does that mean it will go after both Blitzo and Verosika?" Twilight asked next.
"Well, yes to the first question and not sure about the second one." The Professor answered both of them. "I'm not really sure if the signal can reach hell itself."
"So, you're being serious about all this?" Flash questioned him.
"Sorta, yeah." The Professor replied. "I met a few demons myself on my travels and I accidentally went to hell myself. Nearly forgot who I was for a whole six months due to the demonic and angelic energy then went into my body, but at least I stopped a holy war that was going to break loose and I might add, canceled extermination day forever with the help of the princess of hell."
"Okay… but what about all this living plastic stuff, does anyone else know about it?" Daisy asked.
"Nope, no one."
"So you're just on your own?" Flash asked him.
"Well, who else is there?" The Professor asked them. "I mean, all you do is eat fries, go to bed, and watch television, while all that underneath you there's a war going on and you don't even notice it." Daisy quickly took the plastic arm away from him as she looked him in the eye.
"Okay, then start from the beginning of what's going on." She told him as they continued walking. "I mean if we're going with the living plastic thing, and we don't even believe that, but if we do… how exactly did you kill it?"
"You see, the thing that's controlling it projects life into the arm." The Professor explained. "All I did was cut the signal."
"So it's like radio control?" Twilight questioned.
"Thought control actually." The Professor corrected before he noticed the looks on each of their faces. "Are you three all right?"
"Yeah, but who exactly is controlling it?" Flash asked next.
"That's a long story."
"But what's it all for anyway? Daisy asked him. "I mean, window shop dummies? Is someone trying to take over the American shops or something?" This caused all four of them to chuckle in amusement.
"No!" The Professor told them. "In fact, it's not a price war at all. They want to overthrow the human race and destroy you. Do any of you believe me?"
"No." All three of them answered.
"But you three are still listening, right?"
"But, who are you really, Professor?" Flash asked, causing the Professor to stop and look at the three.
There was a bit of silence for a moment before he let out a sigh. "Do you remember what we said earlier, about the Earth revolving?" He asked them as they nodded in response. "It's like when you're a kid. The first time any adult tells you that the world's turning but you can't just believe it everything around you is just standing still to you." He told them as he walked up to them. "But I can feel it. The turn of the Earth. The ground beneath our feet is only spinning at a thousand miles an hour. And the entire planet itself is hurtling around the Sun at 67,000 miles an hour and I can feel it, or all falling through space, the four of us, and every single being on this planet. Clinging to the skin of this tiny little world, and if we let go…" He stopped for a moment before he looked at them. "That's who I am. Now forget about me, all three of you." He told them before he took the plastic arm from Daisy and waved goodbye with it. "Go home."
The Professor then walked away from them as they watched him make his way over to a brown box with green lights and circuitry on it. They soon started to walk away as they thought about what he said before the winds started to blow and they heard a noise coming from the brown box the Professor went to. They quickly ran back but saw that the brown box was gone and they knew that the Professor was no ordinary man and they had to figure out who he is.
Meanwhile in Hell at the office building where I.M.P. is located, Blitzo was at his desk and was lost in his thoughts about the Professor. He wondered how he was able to figure out that he and Verosika weren't humans, but mostly how he knew about the extermination day being canceled. His thoughts were interrupted when he heard a knock on his door before Moxxie walked in. "Sir, you've been in here for a while now, is there something wrong?" He asked him.
"No…I mean yes… honestly Moxxie, I don't know." Blitzo replied with an irritated look. "I think Fizzy's lover may need to check his crystals because I think we got a broken one."
"What do you mean, sir?" Moxxie questioned with a brow. "The crystal works great. We completely blend in with the humans on our last job."
"Yeah, but someone called 'The Professor' instantly knew I wasn't human." Blitzo mentioned, which completely surprised his employee. "Yeah, I was off to kill one of the guys we are hired to kill at the mall, I was in an elevator with three teens and that bitch whore Verosika. But the moment we got down to the basement, a bunch of mannequins started attacking us before this guy showed up and just saved us I guess. But then when we got to another elevator, he said he knew that me and her weren't humans by the way we smell."
"And he said it in front of the three teens?" Moxxie asked him.
"Yeah, but I doubt they believed him." Blitzo replied. "What bugs me more is that he knew that the extermination day was canceled forever, and he knew about the extermination angels."
"But that was months ago." Moxxie pointed out before he realized something. "And you said this man called himself the Professor."
"Yeah, why?"
"Well, on the day the extermination day was canceled, I heard rumors that someone with that exact name was there to stop some overlord who wanted to start a holy war." Moxxie explained. "He called himself the Professor himself. No first or last name, just Professor."
"You fucking serious right now?"
"Yes, and I believe a couple of sinners knew him when they were alive." Moxxie added. "One of them is here in the pride ring while the other is in the lust ring." After hearing this, Blitzo gets up from his desk with a determined look.
"Moxxie, tell Millie and Loona we're going to meet one of these two who knows this 'Professor' right now!" He ordered before he left the room without even letting Moxxie ask why.
Meanwhile in the lust ring, Verosika was alone at a club where a few succubuses or succubi, along with a few sinners were having some intimate fun together, or enjoying a nice show by watching strippers dancing. A bartender then placed her drink order in front of her as she had an irritated look on her face. "Damn that human and everything else." She cursed under her breath. "You can't blow up a person's car with an entire Mall and just disappear. Professor…" A female avian sinner overheard her and looked towards her way when she said that last part. "Professor of what exactly, blowing up someone's car?"
"Excuse me, but did you say 'Professor'?" The avian sinner asked Verosika and got her attention. "Did he give that first or last name or did he just say the Professor?"
"Just the Professor." Verosika replied before she realized something. "Why? Did you know him when you were alive?"
"Yes, but let's not talk out here." The avian sinner whispered as she looked around. "Let's go to one of the private rooms and we can talk about him there."
Meanwhile up on Earth, Flash drove his car up to a house with both Twilight and Daisy in the passenger seats. "You sure this is it, Twilight?" He asked her.
"I'm positive." She replied as she looked at the house. "After a couple of failed attempts of looking up the professor, the one website shows a picture of him and the guy who has it lives here with his family, one kid, a wife and his father who used to fought in the war. He seemed very eager to talk with us when we mentioned we saw him."
"Well then, let's meet this guy and hope he's not a internet lunatic." Daisy said before they got out of the car and walked up to the front door. Flash rang the doorbell before a boy with blue skin and yellow hair opened the door.
"Hello, is your father, Picture Date, here?" Twilight asked the kid. "We've been e-mailing about the Professor."
"Dad! It's the three teens that saw your website!" The boy called out before a man with greenish blue skin and brown hair walked up to them.
"Hello, I'm Picture." The man introduced himself to them. "Nice to meet all of you."
"Nice to meet you too." Flash replied with a smile.
"Who's at the door, honey?!" A woman's voice called out from inside.
"It's something to do with the Professor! They've been reading the website and they want to talk with my father!" He replied before he looked back at the three teens. "Come in, my father is just upstairs." They went inside and he closed the door behind them before going upstairs and entered a room where an elderly man with indigo skin and gray hair sat in bed. "Hey dad, they want to know about the Professor." Picture told his elderly father as they entered the room and got his attention. "This is my father, Grand Blade."
"Oh, you three meet him, have you?" Blade asked the three teens.
"Well yeah, two times actually." Daisy told Blade. "The first time was at the mall before it got blown up and the second was at Twilight's house."
"Oh, so he's been busy as always?" Blade questioned with a slight chuckle. "Tell me, does he look like the picture that is on my son's website?"
"Yes, actually he does." Twilight answered before she looked at Picture. "That photo that's on your website, that's only a zoomed image. Am I right?"
"Yeah, it is." Picture replied before he pulled out a suitcase from a closet. "I wish I could have sent you the whole thing but some people might have intercepted it. Gotta keep a lively mind, this Professor keeps popping up all over the place. Political diaries, conspiracy theories, even ghost stories." He pulled out a small table before setting the suitcase on it and opening it up.
"Not only that, but he never tells people his real name." Blade added. "He doesn't tell them his first or last name. Just 'the Professor' and nothing more. Now what we're about to tell and show you, know that the title itself isn't passed down from parent to child, it's not inheritance at all."
"Now, like you said, the picture on my website is a zoomed image." Picture told the three teens as he pulled out a file. "I sort of tracked it down to the Washington Public Archive just about a year ago. These are the original." The three teens looked and saw the first photo with the Professor's face circled before he showed them another picture that was zoomed out before showing another one that Twilight was shocked to see.
"Was…was this taken on November 22nd 1963, the day President Kennedy was assassinated?" She asked them in shock.
"Yes, it was." Blade answered which surprised the other two teens before Blade reached over to his nightstand and opened a drawer as he pulled out another photo. "This was taken when I was just a young man and the man standing next to me and the woman is the Professor." He pointed towards a man wearing a twine coat and a sweater vest, but due to the picture being black and white, it was hard to tell what his skin and hair looked like. "Back then, his skin was yellow while his hair was orange."
"Are you think that's the same man that we met?" Daisy questioned with confusion before Flash noticed something in the background of the photo.
"I think he is, just look in the background." He told the two girls as he pointed towards a familiar large box behind the three. "It's that box he walked up to before it disappeared."
"It disappears here and reappears in a different place." Blade told them. "Like him, that box is full of surprises."
Back in hell, the I.M.P.'s company van was parked outside of a building while Loona was leaning against it and was on her phone. Inside, Blitzo with both Moxxie and Millie were sitting on a couch as a sinner, wearing an old britain soldier uniform, carried a train with four cups and a pot of tea. "I didn't think the immediate murder professionals would actually come to my front door." He said to himself as he sat down the tray and started to pour the tea into the cups. "Hope no one in hell is out to get me down here."
"Oh no, we used to do something like that but not anymore." Millie mentioned as he passed her a cup of tea. "Nowadays we only kill people in the human world, but only to the ones who want to pay back the ones who wronged them."
"Well, if you're here to discuss something and want to Revenge on someone in the living room, I assure you that I have no intentions."
"Look, I'll just cut right to the chase." Blitzo spoke up. "We heard that you know some professor guy, both here and when you were alive. On our last job I met a professor who blew up an entire mall after running into some weird living mannequins or something." The sinner stopped what he was doing after hearing the word professor. "He knew I was an imp, even though I had a disguise on. He even knew that I was from the greed ring."
The sinner let out a slight chuckle before he smiled at the three. "If you knew what you are, then that means you ran into the Professor." He mentioned.
"So you do know him, Mr….?" Moxxie spoke up but trailed off.
"Please, call me Slasher." The sinner told him. "As for the Professor, I never thought I'd meet him again for a long time until the day Extermination day was canceled. That was him there, on the day Hazbin Hotel was rebuilt." All three of them looked to where he was gesturing and saw a photo of Charlie Morningstar, with her girlfriend, her father, the staff of the hotel, Slasher, an avian sinner, and a man with pale red skin, one night that was red while the other was golden yellow, and with red and yellow hair. They also noticed he was wearing a black coat with a red shirt.
"Huh, he looks completely different from the first time I saw him." Blitzo mentioned.
"When I was alive and I first met the Professor, he looked completely different." Slasher mentioned. "He was a tall man with curling light brown hair and a bit of purplish blue skin. It really feels like he's always changing."
"What do you mean he's always changing?" Verosika asked the avian sinner as they were in a private bedroom and she told this sinner about the Professor and she told her everything she knew about him.
"I know it's hard to believe, but when I first met the Professor with my sister when I was alive, he was sort of a short man with long curly night blue hair and bright blue skin while he was wearing a long coat and a scarf on his neck." The sinner told her. "Then one day, as he was trying to stop some mad man from doing some evil plot, he fell and was on the brink of death. But for some reason, he didn't die and he just changed right in front of us. A different face, a different skin, hair, and even a personality. But it was still him."
"How is that even possible for someone to change completely and literally?" Twilight questions both Picture and his father as she, Flash, and Daisy were told something similar.
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you." Blade replied. "I didn't understand it myself when he explained it, but it was very extraordinary to see in person how he survived just by changing into a different person."
Back in hell, Loona was still waiting for the other three to come out before her ear flickered when she heard something slowly rolling towards her. She looked around to find the source before the sound got louder and she quickly looked over and saw a bin just next to the van. She wondered what was going on until she saw it moved closer. "Okay, I get the shit." She groaned as she walked up to it. "If you jump up the moment I open this, I will bite the shit off your…" She trailed off the moment she opened the bin and saw nothing inside.
This baffled her as she looked on the sides to see if there were any strings attached but it's all none. The moment she put the lid down, she tried to walk away but the plastic on the lid of the bin stretched and was sticking to her fingers as it pulled her back. "What the fuck?!" She tried to pull harder away from the bin as it started to move and let out a small roar. She tried every ounce of strength she had to get away before it suddenly flung her into the air and opened wide before she landed inside just before the lid closed on her. It then let out a loud burp before everything went silent.
"But, how is it possible that he's able to stay alive but become a different person?" Daisy questioned Blade leaning in closer up to them.
"Because he is an alien." He whispered. "It was hard to believe at first because he looks human, but he is an alien…"
"But there is one thing for certain." Slasher continued to tell Blitzo and his two employees. "If he's back on Earth, that means there's a danger that threatens us all…"
"...and he's here to save us all." The avian sinner told Verosika. "I'm sorry I couldn't tell you more about him because there's so much about him that is such a mystery. I guess that's why people always call him Professor Who." Verosika thought for a moment before she took out her phone and started to dial up a number, one she never thought she had to use in her entire life.
Flash, Twilight, and Daisy walked downstairs as they said the goodbyes to both Picture and his father before walking out of the house. "Do you think he was telling the truth about the Professor?" Flash asked the two girls with curiosity. "About him being an alien and stuff?"
"I…I don't know." Twilight replied with a baffled look. "Honestly this is just too much to take in. I mean he's an old man and sometimes old people exaggerate things a bit. So it's kind of hard to tell if he's telling the truth about the Professor being an alien."
"Then why don't we ask the Professor himself?" Daisy suggested when she saw a familiar face across the street. Flash and Twilight were confused by what she meant until they looked to where she was looking and saw the Professor leaning against a pole with both a smirk and a brow at them.
"Well he's a complete nut bag!" Blitzo complained as he, Moxxie, and Millie walked out of the building and over to the company's van. "I mean seriously, what does that even mean he's an alien when he looks exactly like a human?"
"Well sir, he does sound like an old man so I guess he was exaggerating a bit." Moxxie mentioned as they entered the van with Loona already sitting in the front seat, only she had a weird grin on her face while there was something off about her fur and hair.
"Maybe, I am really curious as to how this Professor guy knows about hell being real." Millie said before Blitzo's phone rang and he instantly picked it up.
"Hello?" He asked before his eyes widened from whoever was calling on the other end. "Oh great, look Verosika, I'm not in the mood for any-What?" He stopped when he listened to what she was saying. "You're kidding right? We just talked to someone who knew the Professor in the human world. No, really. You want to talk it over with some drinks? All right then come on but you're buying." He hung up the phone before he looked at his employees and adopted daughter. "Looks like we're going for a round of drinks."
"Drinks…" Loona said before she started stuttering as she repeated the word.
"With your ex?" Millie asked with a brow. "I mean this is the first time she ever called you and stuff even though you both broke up."
"Yeah, yeah, let's just see what she wants to talk about." Blitzo mentioned before he started the van and drove off.
They soon arrived in the lust ring as they were at a bar with Verosika as all five of them were sitting at a table. "So, why exactly did you bring us out here?" Blitzo questioned her as she let out a sigh.
"Look, I just can't get that Professor guy out of my head." Verosika told them. "Not only did he blow up my car along with that mall, but he also knew we weren't human. Earlier today I met a sinner that knew him when she was alive and everything. She told me some weird things like him being an alien and when he almost died he comes back to life but with a different face and everything."
"Funny, that's exactly what Slasher told us." Moxxie mentioned.
"So, you two along with three human teens met this Professor at the mall?" Loona questioned both Blitzo and Verosika.
"Yeah, we already established that." Blitzo told her before looking at Verosika. "The guy said he was here, and we even saw a picture of him. He looked completely different from the guy we saw."
"And the sinner who told me about him said he was wearing a long coat and a scarf when she and her sister first met him." Verosika replied. "I think she said it was somewhere back in the 70s or 80s…"
"That far back, really?" Millie asked her in surprise by this news.
"You know, if I was someone like this Professor guy, I would have a motive for being there for a reason." Loona mentioned. "Besides blowing up an entire mall."
"Well, that just sounds ridiculous." Verosika replied. "Can we please just not talk about the mall thing? Because I know this is going to sound crazy, but this Professor guy sounds dangerous to me."
"Huh, what do you know, something we both can agree on." Blitzo spoke up.
"Well who knows what he is, boss. Leader, commander, daddy…" Loona's voice started to sound weird like a malfunctioning robotic voice before she smiled. "I mean if we are talking about him, you can tell me about what the Professor is planning."
"How the fuck should we know, we only met the guy just yesterday." Blitzo replied.
"And are you feeling okay, Loona?" Moxxie questioned with suspicion before someone walked up to them with a bottle of champagne.
"Your champagne, ma'am." A familiar voice said as he offered it to Loona.
"We didn't order any champagne, dude." She told the guy as he just walked around the table. "Where's the Professor?"
"Sir, your champagne." The man offered Blitzo the champagne as he stood between him and Verosika.
"Look, it's not ours." Blitzo told him without even looking at him.
"But just hold it for later." Verosika told the guy before looking at Blitzo. "Why is your hellhound so interested in this guy?"
"I need to find out how much he knows, that's all." Loona quickly replied.
"But why?" Millie asked her.
"I just do, now where is he?"
"Doesn't anyone want this champagne?" The guy questioned as he was still standing next to Blitzo and Verosika.
"Look pal, none of us ordered any…" Loona was going to scold him before she finally looked up and saw the Professor standing between them with the champagne bottle. "Now I got you." She said with a grin as the Professor was rapidly shaking the champagne bottle while the four demons finally noticed and were surprised by him.
"Oh don't mind me, I'm just here to toast the happy family." The Professor told them before he aimed the cork right at Loona. "And it's on the house!" He declared before he popped the cork and the cork was sent flying at her forehead before it literally went right into her head. They watched as her head was stretching around before she spit the cork out of her mouth. "Plastic."
"My turn." Plastic Loona said before she stood up and both her claws transformed into blades which she used to cut the table in half. Verosika, Blitzo, and his two employees quickly stood back from it before Flash and Twilight, both wearing hoodies over their heads, grabbed Plastic Loona by the arms.
"We got her, Professor!" Flash called out as she struggled to get free of the two. The Professor then quickly grabbed her into a headlock as it looked like he was trying to pull her head off. After a bit of jerking with her head, the Professor soon pulled her head right off her body as it fell to the floor when the two teams finally let go of her arms.
"Don't think that'll slow me down." She told him as an imp screened when they had talked before her body got back up. Suddenly the fire alarm was set off before a familiar voice shouted at the other demons.
"Very one, get out now!" Daisy shouted as every demon scattered and ran away from the plastic headless hellhound.
"You four, with us!" The Professor told the three imps and the succubus as all of them started to move towards the back of the building while the plastic creature started smashing things around it. They told any staff in the kitchen to get out while they continued to make their way out the back. Twilight uses her levitation magic to knock down a few shelves in front of it to slow it down before the into the back door and quickly close it behind. The professor quickly took out his device and used it to lock the door as Moxxie went over to a gate and tried to get it open.
"It's locked!" He shouted as it wouldn't budge.
"Hey you, Professor whatever, use that techno dildo thingy!" Blitzo called out.
"It's a sonic screwdriver, not a dildo." The Professor told him casually.
"Whatever, just use it!" Verosika shouted.
"Nope, let's go in here instead." He told them as he and the three teens locked up to the brown box before he took out a key.
"I'm not hiding inside of a box that's small, especially with a skank like her!" Blitzo mentioned as he pointed at Verosika.
"The feeling is mutual!" She spat back as the Professor unlocked and opened the door.
"It's better than staying out here where that thing can get you." Flash mentioned before the plastic creature started banging on the back door.
"Trust us, you want to come inside this thing." Twilight told as the four of them entered the box.
"Now hang on just a second here, you can't just rip the head of my daughter off and expect us to do whatever you say!" Blitzo shouted at them as he went into the box but instantly came out with a shocked look at his face. His two employees and Verosika then saw him go around and jump on top of the box with a baffled look on his face.
"What's wrong, Blitz?" Millie asked before he jumped down and looked at them.
"You have got to see this." He told them before the plastic creature managed to chop through the door before all four of them went inside the box.
"Won't nothing follow us in…?" Moxxie asked but trailed off when they saw that the inside of the box was much bigger than it was on the out. Not only that, but it looked very much advanced as well.
"Oh, don't worry about that." The Professor told them as he used his sonic screwdriver on the head before placing it on the console. "The assembled hordes of Genghis Khan couldn't break down that door. Believe me they tried. Now be quiet for just a minute while I'm working." The four demons still couldn't believe their eyes before Daisy walked up to Verosika with a surprised look.
"You really are a succubus." She mentioned before Verosika nodded in response. "One of my favorite pop song singers is a succubus from hell."
"And you're a human who managed to get to hell without even dying." Verosika pointed out without even looking at Daisy.
"So, why did you take her head off?" Twilight questioned the Professor as he was hooking up the plastic head to some wires on the console.
"Well, the arm was too simple, not enough to track the signal." He replied. "But the head's perfect, especially one that was imitating a hellhound. I can use it to track the signal back to the original source, the one that's been controlling the plastic." Once the plastic head was hooked up, he turned to the three imps and succubus with a smile. "Now, where do you all want to start?"
"The…The inside of the small box is much bigger than it is on the outside." Blitzo mentioned.
"Yup."
"So, you really are an alien?" Verosika asked him.
"Yup."
"It really surprised us too when we found out." Flash told them.
"Is that okay with you?" The Professor asked them.
"Kinda…" Blitzo replied.
"Sorta…" Millie answered while scratching the back of her head.
"Maybe?" Moxxie guessed.
"I don't know." Verosika spoke up. "I mean the four of us are demons and even I'm having a hard time believing this. Is this like your spaceship or something?"
"It's called the Tardis, and yes." The Professor answered. "That's T-A-R-D-I-S. That stands for Time And Relative Dimension In Space." None of them spoke a word as they still had shocked looks on their faces. "That's okay. It's just culture shock. Happens to the best of us."
"Look, just answer me this: did they kill her? Loona, my adopted hellhound daughter." Blitzo asked him. "Did those plastic things kill her? Is she dead or alive?"
"Oh…I didn't think about that."
"You didn't…?!" Blitzo was about to shout before he took a deep breath and let it out. "She's my adopted daughter and you pulled off a plastic head of her. They made a copy of her, and he didn't even think that she's dead or alive?!"
"And add to it you're just going to let the head melt?" Verosika added.
"Melt, what are you talking about?" The Professor questioned her.
"Professor, the head's melting!" Twilight called out as the plastic head was slowly melting on the console.
"Oh no, nonononononono! Don't melt on me yet!" The Professor shouted before he started pressing some buttons and flipping switches around the console.
"Now what are you doing?!" Moxxie asked him as the thing inside the tube in the center of the console started moving up and down while they heard a noise coming from it.
"I'm following the signal!" He answered as he continued to flip switches. "While the head is melting, the signal is fading! Give me a minute." He then started to look at a monitor while the place felt like it was shaking. "Nonononononononono! Come on come on we're almost there girl! We're almost there! Here we go!" Suddenly the place stopped as the Professor quickly ran towards the door.
"Wait, the thing is still outside!" Millie called out before they followed him out but saw they were no longer in hell, but somewhere in the city of London.
"Great, I lost the signal and I was so close!" The Professor complained in frustration.
"We…We're in…" Verosika stuttered in shock. "How are we out of hell?!"
"It disappears there and reappears here." Twilight told the four as she, Flash and Daisy stepped out of the TARDIS. "Surprised us too when you were no longer at our hometown and ended up in hell."
"And none of you would understand if I explained it to you." The Professor added.
"But if we're up here, what about the headless thing that's still on the loose in hell?" Millie asked.
"It melted itself along with the head." The Professor told them as he walked past them. "Are you just going to keep asking questions all night and day?"
"Great…I can't believe she's gone…" Blitzo mentioned with disbelief before the Professor looked at him with a confused look. "Loona, my daughter. Can't believe you forgot about her when I literally told you about her not too long ago!"
"He really is an alien if he doesn't care." Verosika mentioned with her arms crossed.
Look, if I did forget some pup called Lulu..." The Professor started.
"Loona!" Blitzo quickly corrected him.
"...it's because I'm trying to save the life of every stupid ape on this planet, all right?!" The Professor finished.
"Okay one, hurtful about the ape thing." Daisy told him. "And two, she seems really important to him."
"She is!" Blitzo shouted.
"Well so is this planet!" The Professor told them.
"Well if you are an alien, how come you're able to speak English?" Moxxie questioned him.
"Oh please, it's a very basic language to learn." The Professor replied.
"But what about the box thing?" Verosika asked while gesturing to the TARDIS. "What's that all about if it's your ship?"
"We were actually wondering that too." Flash mentioned.
"Well, it's a chameleon circuit, it disguises the TARDIS but it broke a long time ago and it stuck like this." The Professor told them while he smiled at his TARDIS. "And I actually like it like this, I really do."
"Okay, now can you tell us about the living plastic thing?" Twilight spoke next. "What does it have against us?"
"Oh it's got nothing against all of you." The Professor simply replied. "It actually loves you. You got such a good planet, lots of smoke and oil, plenty of toxins and dioxins in the air. It's perfect for it. Just what the Nesting Consciousness needs."
"Is that what's controlling the living plastic?" Flash asked him.
"Yes, its food stock was destroyed in the war, its protein planets rotted away." The Professor added. "So, it came to Earth to make it its dinner."
"Well, let's find this thing and take it out." Blitzo suggested as he and his two employees pulled out weapons.
"Those things won't work on it." The Professor told them before he pulled out a vile of some sort of blue liquid. "But this will, antiplastic."
"Antiplastic?" They all questioned him.
"Antiplastic." He repeated well tapping the tube. "But first, I've got to find it somewhere. And since we are close, it's somewhere in this city. How can you hide something that's so big in a city so small?"
"Wait a minute, hide what exactly?" Verosika asked with a brow.
"The transmitter the Nesting Consciousness is using." The Professor instantly answered. "The Consciousness is controlling every single piece of plastic on this planet, and apparently both in heaven and hell, so it needs a transmitter to boost the signal."
"So what does it look like?" Flash asked him.
"What a transmitter of course!" He answered as he started pacing around. "It would be round and massive, somewhere smack dab in the middle of London. It would be a huge, metal, and circular structure like a dish, or a wheel, radial, it's probably close to where we're standing." He told them as he stopped and stood in front of something he was describing across the water. "It must be completely invisible so that way I wouldn't be able to find it." The seven of them were looking behind him as he was confused as to what they were staring at. "What? What are you looking at?" They pointed behind him and he turned around but couldn't see what they meant. "Seriously, what are you looking at?"
"Look again and think for a moment." Twilight told him before he turned and saw the giant ferris wheel that fits perfectly what he was describing earlier.
"Oh, that's incredible." He said with a grin before they quickly made their way over to the giant ferris wheel.
"All right, we're here." Blitzo said as they arrived just beneath it. "Now where the fuck is this thing?"
"I just think about it." The Professor told them. "Plastic all over the world, including hell and heaven, every artificial thing waiting to be alive. Every window shop dummy, phones, wires, and cables."
"Even breast implants?" Millie asked.
"Millie!" Moxxie exclaimed.
"What? We were all thinking it!"
"Still, we found the transmitter." The Professor mentioned as he was looking at the giant ferris wheel. "The Consciousness must be somewhere underneath it." An idea then came to Flash as he quickly pulled out his phone and turned it on. "What are you doing?"
"Well, if this Consciousness is using that Ferris wheel to transmit its signal, then it must be interfering with phones and stuff." Flash explained as his phone was making a gurgling noise while he was moving around. "So I just thought that if I have my phone on and if I move closer to where the Consciousness is hiding…" He said as the noise got louder when he moved closer to the water before looked down and saw a hatchet near the stairs. "...it would lead us down there!" The others rushed over and saw the hatchet as the Professor smiled at him.
"Well aren't you being clever tonight." He told Flash before they went down the stairs to the hatchet. Once they got down, the Professor turned the valve to open it up as they saw some sort of orange red light emanating from inside. They carefully climbed down the ladder as they followed the professor when he opened a door and entered a big room where they saw a big vat of some sort of substance. "The Nesting Consciousness. There it is, inside the vat, a living plastic creature."
"Well what are you waiting for? Daisy asked him. "Take out that Antiplastic stuff and let's get out of here."
"I'm not going to kill it." He told them. "I'm here to negotiate with it, give it a chance. The Antiplastic is just in case." They started to walk down some steps before he looked over the railing and down at the vat. "I request audience with the Nesting Consciousness under peaceful contract according to Convention 15 of the Shadow Proclamation!" They heard gurgling coming from the vet as the professor smiled. "Thank you! If I have permission to approach!" Blitzo then noticed a familiar hellhound at the bottom of the staircase as she looked a bit shocked.
"Loony!" Blitzo called out before he rushed down the steps and over to her as the others followed behind him. "You're okay! You're alive!" He exclaimed with relief as he quickly hugged her.
"Shut the fuck up!" She whispered harshly to him as she grabbed his lips. "The thing down there… It…It can talk…"
"I can't believe that thing didn't kill you." Verosika mentioned.
"Yeah, I thought that was a possibility, it needed her alive to maintain her copy." The Professor mentioned when he walked past them and continued down.
"You knew that and you didn't tell us?" Daisy questioned him.
"Do you think we can keep the scolding outside, thank you?" He asked before he went down as they looked over the railing when he walked closer to the vat where the nesting consciousness is. "Am I addressing the Consciousness?!" They heard gurgling coming from it as the plastic started to rise up a bit. "Thank you! If I might observe, you infiltrated this civilization by means of warp, shunt technology! So, may I suggest with the greatest respect, that you shunt off?!" The Consciousness growled at that pun before shaking its head. "Don't give me that! It's an invasion, plain and simple! Don't talk about constitutional rights!" It started making more noises before the Professor started shouting again. "I am taking here! This planet is just starting! These stupid little people have only just learned how to walk! But they're capable of so much more! I'm asking you on their behalf, please just go!"
The others listen to what he was saying before Daisy saw plastic mannequins coming up behind him. "Professor, behind you!" She called out but it was too late as they grabbed him. He struggled to get free from them before one of the mannequins pulled out the vial of the Antiplastic.
"I swear I wasn't going to use it!" The Professor told the Consciousness in a panic. "That was just insurance! Honest!" It started growling again as he struggled to get free. "I wasn't going to attack you! I'm here to help you! "I'm not your enemy, I promise!" It growled again as a worried expression appeared on his face. "What are you talking about?!" They looked up and saw that they had his TARDIS down here with them. "No! No, no, no! Please, no! Yes, that is my ship!" It growled again as it sounded angry before the professor looked at it with a solemn expression. "That's not true! I should know because I was there during that time! I fought in the Time War! It wasn't my fault! I couldn't save your world, I couldn't save any of them! Not even my own!"
"Professor, what is it doing now?!" Twilight called out.
"It's the TARDIS!" The Professor shouted. "The Nestene Consciousness' identified it as superior technology! It's terrified! And now it's going to the final base! It's starting the invasion! Get out of here, all of you! Run now!" Twilight quickly took out her phone and texted her friends to be careful and help others that might be in trouble while Daisy took out her phone and called someone.
"Mom?!" She called out when her mother picked up.
"Oh, there you are. I was just about to call you Dude you can get compensation, I told you so. I got this document thing off of the police, don't they meet just yet--"
"Mom, where are you right now?!" Daisy quickly questioned.
"I'm in town right now."
"No, go home right now!" She quickly told her. "No time to explain it, just go home now!"
"Honey, your…up…I'm ju…a bit gonna…shopping…I will…at ho…" The call was breaking up before the call ended.
"Mom? Mom!" Daisy shouted with a worried tone before they saw electricity coming from the Nestene Consciousness before it went up and through the ceiling.
"What is that?!" Verosika exclaimed.
"That's the activation signal!" The Professor answered with a worried tone. "It's transmitting now!"
Above ground, the activation signal surged through the ferris wheel before it started to spread across the sky with wavelengths. In a store, the plastic mannequins started moving before it broke down the glass window and moved towards the people. One mannequin aimed its arm right at a man before its fingers went down and shot him in the chest, killing him. People started screaming as the plastic mannequins started to go on a rampage. A few of them were about to kill a woman with ruby red skin and pink hair before a familiar blur zipped in and got her when the mannequins started blasting.
Rainbow Dash then placed the woman behind a large vehicle before a diamond shield dome was placed over them and a few other people. The rest of the Rainbooms were checking to see if everyone was all right as the mannequins started blasting at the dome. "What in tarnation is going on here?!" Applejack exclaimed.
"I don't know, but it looks like Twilight was right to inform us about being on alert." Sunset mentioned with a worried tone. "Where is she right now?!"
Back in London, the Professor struggled to get free before he looked up at the group. "Get out of here!" He shouted at them. "It's not safe here! Just go!" Soon the ceiling collapsed and blocked the way up the stairs.
"We can't! The stairs are blocked!" Twilight called out.
"And we can't use our crystals to get out of here because we have no idea what effect they will have on humans!" Moxxie shouted before the group ran over to the TARDIS.
"It's locked!" Flash shouted when he couldn't open the door. "The Professor has the key!"
"We're all gonna die!" Millie cried out in a panic as they saw there was no way out. The Professor continued to struggle to get free as Daisy, Twilight, Flash, Blitzo, and Verosika looked around as they thought for a moment.
"TiMe LoRd!" They all heard the Nestene growling as they looked at the Professor. Some plastic mannequin was closing in on the group before Verosika clenched her fist in anger. When one of them was close enough, she suddenly spun around and kicked its head off before knocking its body into the others.
"That's for making him blow up my car!" She shouted as Blitzo took out a few guns and shot a few others back while Twilight used her levitation magic to look a few of them up and throw them across the room. Flash and Daisy quickly went over to some rope as he tossed Daisy an ax.
"Great ready, because this is payback for destroying our job and trying to kill us all." Daisy said as she chopped off some chains before pulling them down and doing them to flash. He then used the chains to swing over as the Professor flipped the mannequin that was holding him into the vat just as Flash knocked the mannequin holding the vial down into it with it. The vial of Antiplastic soon landed onto the Nestene Consciousness and Spilled Out onto it. It squealed in pain as Flash swung back and landed next to the Professor.
"Now we're in big trouble." He mentioned before they quickly regrouped with Moxxie, Millie, and Loona just as the entire place was exploding and the transmission started to fail.
Back in Canterlot City, Rarity struggled to keep the shield up as the mannequins continued firing at it but they suddenly noticed the mannequins were struggling to stay up before they each fell to the ground.
The Professor soon took out his key as they all entered the TARDIS. Soon the TARDIS was making some sort of whooshing sound as it was fading away until it was gone just as the entire place exploded.
The TARDIS soon reappeared in a park in Canterlot City before the door opened up and Loona ran out to get some distance from it before sitting down on the ground. The others then walked out as Daisy had her phone out and called her mom. "Mom, are you okay?" She asked when her mother picked up.
"Daisy, whatever you do, don't go outside, it's not safe!" She heard her mother warned with a worried tone as Daisy had a relieved smile on her face. "There are things, they were shooting and these girls with some sort of abilities just saved us but we weren't going to hold out for long and…" Daisy hung up the call as Blitzo walked over to Loona.
"It's okay, Loony, you're safe now." He told her before she punched him in the face.
"I'm fine, I just need some time to breathe, okay?! She shouted as the Professor stood in the doorway of his TARDIS.
"Nestene Consciousness, easy." He said with a smile and a snap of his fingers.
"Hey, we did all the work while you struggled with a mannequin." Flash pointed out. "You would be dead if it wasn't for us."
"Yeah, I would be." The Professor agreed with him. "All of us were if it wasn't for the five of you. Thank you."
"Yeah, just promise to never blow up any other buildings that have my ride in it." Verosika told him with a brow.
"Okay, I'll be off now." The Professor told them before he gave another look at them. "Unless of course… I don't know, you all would like to come with me?" He offered before placing a hand on the door frame of the TARDIS. "This box isn't just a box they can just disappear and reappear anywhere in the world you know, it goes anywhere in the universe. Plus it's free of charge."
"And get myself probed or kidnapped again?!" Loona questioned before flipping him off. "Fuck that!"
"Plus you don't even know what's out there." Moxxie added.
"I think this whole living plastic thing was enough for one day, thank ya." Millie mentioned.
"Those three are not invited." The Professor told Blitzo, Verosika, and the three teens. "What do you think? I mean you could stay here if you like. You know, feel your lives with work, food, sleep, or you could go… well anywhere."
"Is it always this dangerous?" Twilight asked him.
"From time to time, yeah."
"Yeah, I think I'll pass." Flash told him. "Got stuff to do."
"Me too." Twilight added.
"Plus me and her still have to find a new job." Daisy mentioned. "Plus I have to find my mom and stuff."
"And I've got a business to run and stuff." Blitzo spoke up.
"Yeah…and I got my whole pop star career so…" Verosika told him.
"Well, okay." The Professor said with a shrug. "I guess I'll see you around." He went back inside his TARDIS as he closed the door behind him. The wind then swirled around it as the light on top of the TARDIS lit up as it started fading out of existence before it disappeared.
Verosika then looked at the three human teens. "You're not going to tell anyone about us, are you?" She asked them.
"Even if we did, I doubt they'll believe us." Twilight mentioned. "Especially about what happened today." They each were about to go their separate ways before they heard a familiar sound before they turned to see the TARDIS coming into existence and reappearing in the same spot.
The Professor then opened the door as he looked over at them. "Did I forget to mention that it's also a time machine?" He asked them, which really piqued their interest before he went back inside but left the door open. They thought for a moment before Twilight pulled out her phone and texted her friends that she's going on a trip and asked Fluttershy to look after Spike for her.
"Moxxie, you're in charge until I get back." Blitzo quickly told him before he, Verosika, Twilight, Flash, and Daisy quickly ran over to the TARDIS and went inside before closing the door behind them. The TARDIS then started to phase out of existence before disappearing, beginning the start of a grand journey with an alien known as the Professor.
