This crossover is the inspiration I got from BlackWarGreymon: Warrior of Harmony, published by I-C-U-P in Fimfiction. This for his honor and his story's.
I don't own My Little Pony from Hasbro and Digimon.
Enjoy!
BLACK DRAGON: HEART ELEMENT OF HARMONY
Prologue: Departure
- Shinjuku, Japan, Earth -
This was the home of the DigiDestined, a group of young teens who travelled to a world that ran alongside theirs, the Digital World. In that world the young heroes made friends with creatures that became their partners, they were called Digimon, short for Digital Monsters. Together they fought evil and saved the Digital World many times.
But now they're back home, and it's in danger.
An evil Digimon named MaloMyotismon had possessed a human named Oikawa and was currently causing havoc, and the DigiDestined were there to stop him and his minions. As Oikawa fired his dark blast at one of them, a dark Digimon stood in its way. He was one of the most feared and most powerful Mega level Digimon, for he was responsible for destroying nearly all of the Destiny Stones and he was known for not having mercy. He was over ten feet tall, with demon-like horns on his head. His skin and his chrome Digizoid armour was as black as night, with bits of yellow here and there. He also has yellow hair, a chrome helmet that was a mix of silver and grey, and a black Brave Shield on his back. Finally, he has yellow soulless eyes that can strike fear to any who see them.
Because of his resemblance, some say he was a mockery of one of the Digital Worlds' great defenders. Born from one hundred Control Spires, he was created for evil as the ultimate tool of destruction, but he went independent to find his true destiny. Up to this moment he tried all means to find his purpose in life, even if it meant trying to fight one of the four Digimon guardians, Azulongmon.
He was the Ultimate Anti-Hero.
His name was BlackWarGreymon.
He stood there, taking the full blast of dark energy in the chest. When the attack ceased, he fell to one knee, shocked to know that more damage has been done to him than he realized. Far more.
Seeing that his work was done, Oikawa and his minions turned and fled.
At this point the heroes felt concerned for BlackWarGreymon, to the point where his golden counterpart, WarGreymon, ran up to him to keep him on his feet. Despite the big battle the two had the other day, he wanted to help him in any way he can, but BlackWarGreymon knows it's too late.
His wound was fatal…but he knew what to do.
Despite the reluctance from the defenders, especially WarGreymon, BlackWarGreymon walked away. Feeling his strength and energy fading rapidly, he said his goodbyes to his new friends, and took to the skies.
As he flew, he began to think back to his whole short life. From the day he was created to the day he protected a flower…later only to squish it himself. From his conversation with Agumon to his fights with the DigiDestined. From seeking to destroy the Destiny Stones to his battle with WarGreymon. And everything in between.
Then he began to think of that moment just mere seconds ago, where he saved a life at the expense of his own. It was an act of bravery, an act of good will…an act of heroism. What he did was right for not just himself, also for others and their well-being.
Realizing that was what he wanted, he will not die as a monster, he will die as a hero. With those thoughts crossing his mind, he closed his eyes, screaming from the pain he's feeling as he felt his entire body being hollowed out.
From the ground, the young teens and their friends start to see dark misty trails seeping out of BlackWarGreymons' open wound. Afterwards, his body began to fall apart, scattering into tiny particles of data, and then nothing.
BlackWarGreymon was gone. Forever in this world.
But his plan worked. The energy from his body closed off the link between both their worlds in the area, preventing his executioner, MaloMyotismon from going to the Digital World. Giving the DigiDestined more time to find him and stop him.
BlackWarGreymon may have done terrible things, but in his last act he will be missed.
What the DigiDestined already know was that when a Digimon dies, its data gets reconfigured and comes back as a Digi Egg. When a Control Spire Digimon dies, its data just poofs, disappears into nothing.
But what the young heroes don't know was that what happened to BlackWarGreymon was none of the above, for fate has other plans for him. For his future, his new life and his true purpose was in a completely different world.
- Unknown Realm, Unknown Time -
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
BlackWarGreymons' eyes shot wide open, as if he just had the world's most painful headache or the world's most frightening nightmare. He tried taking slow deep breaths to calm himself down.
That's when he just realized something.
"Wait. I'm…breathing? But I wa…"
He was too shocked and confused to finish his sentence when he looked down at his wound. Only to discover that the wound on his chest completely gone, as if it never happened.
"I'm fine? But how? And where am I?"
He looked around to see that he was floating in what looked like space. If the shining stars, the black void and swirling galaxies were anything to judge by.
'What happened to me? Is this where Digimon go when they die? Then why am I the only one here? Is this a dream?'
He continued to think over what's happened to him. He was so caught up in trying to find answers that he didn't realize a white portal just opened behind him.
"No, it feels too real to be a dream, I am alive."
It was at that moment he began to feel a strange force pulling him backwards. He turned to see the source of the pull, he started to get wary of the unknown vortex.
"A PORTAL! This can't be good!"
He tried to fly away from the white light, but the pull keeps getting stronger by the second, pulling him back. For the first time in his short existence, he panicked.
"NonononoNoNNOOOOO!"
But BlackWarGreymon knew shouting was getting him nowhere, but he was pulled backwards against his will. As his words died down, he was sucked into the portal and the entire world around him turned to pure white.
What happened to him next was something that even HE never comprehended. He was given a second chance, to live his strong and powerful life in another world…and its inhabitants would never expect his arrival. Nor their lives would ever be the same again.
Chapter I: Arrival
- Equestria, Ponyville -
In the magical world known as Equestria, lived a race of creatures that's similar to humans in speech and society. But what makes them different was that they were not humans at all, they were ponies. Earth Ponies, Unicorns and Pegasi make up the different kinds of ponies. And they were all ruled by the most powerful type of pony of all, they were able to use advanced magic and some were capable of even moving the moon and the very sun itself. The Alicorns.
Deep inside the chambers of a giant crystal palace in Ponyville, a young dragon and hero of the Crystal Empire named Spike, was ticking off the checklist.
"Picnic basket, umbrella, quill and ink. Check, check and check. Is that everything Twilight?" Spike asked, looking across the room to the same pony who hatched and raised him.
Twilight Sparkle, once a Unicorn now turned into the fourth and newest Alicorn princess, was searching in her saddle bags to see if something was missing. Her lavender colored fur and her purple mane and tail were instantly recognizable to anyone or anypony who knew her. As an Alicorn she has both wings and a horn. But what's more important was that she was also the Princess of Friendship and the Element of Magic, which was one of the Elements of Harmony. Finally her cutiemark was that of a sparkle of magic that resembled a purple star.
She turned to her number one assistant and gave him a smile.
"Yep, guess that's everything," She said while using her magic to put on the saddle bags. "You sure you can look after the place while I'm gone?" She asked Spike with a hint of uncertainty in her voice.
Spike gave her a reassuring thumbs up. "Don't worry Twi, I got this. Go and have fun."
"I will Spike, see you later," Twilight said as she turned left down a corridor.
"Twilight, the exit is the other way!" Spike called out, correcting her mistake.
To his amusement, Twilight only blushed and smiled in embarrassment as she turned to the opposite direction towards the exit.
'Great, been living here for three months now and still don't know my way around. Must have spent too much time in the library.' She thought to herself while walking towards the huge doors to her castle, only to be burst open buy a speeding pink blur that came to a halt only an inch from her face.
The blur turned out to be the sugar-fuelled hyperactive Earth Pony named Pinkie Pie. She had pink fur, pink poofy mane and tail, a cutiemark of three balloons, two blue and one yellow and she was the Element of Laughter.
Her sudden entry surprised Twilight, nearly giving the Alicorn a heart attack.
"AAHH! Pinkie, you surprised me!" Twilight exclaimed with widen eyes, while trying to calm her fast-beating heart. But her response was a happy grin on the pink pony's snout.
"Oh really? Well surprise! Anyway, I'm just so excited about our picnic. I should turn it into a picnic party! With cake, balloons, confetti, ribbons, my cannon and…"
Pinkie Pie stopped rambling on when she realized she forgot something.
"Oh no, I forgot my party cannon! I need to go and get it!" She shouted with urgency in her voice. Just before she could bolt out the door, Twilight spoke to her.
"Don't forget to meet us in the new clearing."
"Okie dokie!" Pinkie Pie noted before running back to her home, leaving a dust trail behind her.
After clearing her way through the dust, the purple Alicorn closed the palace doors and begun her long walk towards her destination.
'Pinkie's right about one thing, this is going to be exciting.' Twilight thought to herself with a smile.
- Sweet Apple Acres -
Inside the barn of an apple farm, a white Unicorn named Rarity was waiting impatiently. She had purple mane and tail which ended in coiled curls, three blue diamonds as her cutiemark and she was the Element of Generosity.
"Oh, come on Applejack darling, we haven't got all day," She stated with a look of frustration, getting annoyed that she had to wait too long.
Across the barn, Applejack looked at Rarity with a confused look. She was an orange Earth Pony with blonde mane and tail that were both scruffy, a cowgirl hat, three red apples as her cutiemark and she was the Element of Honesty.
"Rarity, why're you in that getup? We ain't goin' somewhere fancy," She remarked while pointing her hoof at Rarity's dress.
"Well nopony has ever been in the new clearing. Never know what you might find," She elegantly replied.
"Huh, if we did find somthin', you don't want to frighten it with that," Applejack joked, making the Unicorn glare at her.
"Well I think not. If we do find something, they would be blown away by my finest creation. I've certainly outdone myself," She boasted while showing off her dress.
"Huh, more like overdone it," Applejack commented while snickering.
Rarity was about to retort back at her, but she began to think that Applejack was right.
"Well…perhaps the dress is too much. I should just go with a hat."
"That's more like it," Applejack voiced with a grin while packing her saddle bag with apples and anything else see needs.
- Fluttershy's Cottage -
Inside the cottage that's mostly inhabited by animals. A cyan blue Pegasus with rainbow colored mane and tail was flying around impatiently, trying to pass the time. Her cutiemark was a cloud with a red, yellow and blur striped lightning bolt and she was the Element of Loyalty. Her name was Rainbow Dash. Apart from being famous for being awesome, she was also the fastest airborne pony in Equestria and can fly so fast, she can pull off a trick very few could do.
The Sonic Rainboom.
In fact, it was pulling off her very first Sonic Rainboom that she got her cutiemark and un-intently led her five friends getting their cutiemarks too.
But now she's bored out of her skull.
"Uh come on Fluttershy, what's taking so long?" She complained.
Soon enough Fluttershy, a yellow Pegasus with long rosy pink mane and tail came out of her kitchen. She has three pink butterflies for her cutiemark and she was the Element of Kindness.
She currently has some animal feed stuck to her hooves, meaning she was feeding one of her animals.
"Sorry for keeping you waiting Rainbow Dash," She apologized in her usual soft voice. "It's alright now, I finished feeding the birds."
"Good," Rainbow Dash chirped while landing in front of Fluttershy. "Are we ready to go now?"
"Oh yes," Fluttershy answered as she turned her head to the dining room. "I'm going out now Angel, have fun." She called to the little white rabbit who was stuffing his face with carrots. He quickly raised his head and waved his paw, saying goodbye.
Fluttershy beautifully smiled as she walked out of the front door with Rainbow Dash.
As the two Pegasi walked along the path they noticed other animals saying their goodbyes to Fluttershy as numerous birds flew over their heads. Most ponies knew that Fluttershy has her talent at understanding what animals say and she uses this to help them if they are in need. Because of this and the fact she has one of the most heavenly and most beautiful singing voices ever, that some of the animals choose to either live with her in the cottage or outside in homes that were ready made or they made themselves.
After the animals said their farewells, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash continued on their way. But the blue Pegasus was confused about one thing.
"Fluttershy, aren't you afraid about this?" She asked her usually timid friend.
"Um…no. Why do you ask?" Fluttershy asked while looking at Rainbow Dash with a raised eyebrow.
"Because the new clearing is deep in the Everfree Forest," Rainbow Dash answered as clearly as she can.
For a moment, Fluttershy's eyes went wide, for she was scared of the forest for a number of reasons. But she calmed down when she remembered the reason why she wanted to go in the first place.
"Well…I am a little nervous, but as nopony has ever been there before, we might find something new. Maybe new species of animals," She said with excitement in her voice.
The cyan pegasus grinned, eager as much as her best friend. "Oh I can't wait!"
- Everfree Forest -
There was only one reason why nopony goes to the Everfree Forest, it's a very dangerous place. Trees can grow so big and so dense that sunlight hardly reaches the forest floor, so even with clear skies it's always dark. The animals who live there rely on no one but themselves and some would kill anything that gets in their way, either out of hunger, anger or just because they can. If wild life wasn't enough, even the weather was different then what the ponies were used to. The Pegasi can control weather by moving clouds and summon rain, but in the Everfree the weather and seasons act all on their own. Very similar to the weather in the human world but to pony kind it's unnatural.
It was only recently that a massive clearing was discovered by the Wonderbolts, deep in the forest. Afterword's news of its existence had spread all over Equestria. Because of its whereabouts it was nicknamed the 'Everfree Clearing'.
Nopony on record has ever been there, that's why Twilight and her friends agreed to go there and be the first ponies to set hoof in the clearing. And what better way to celebrate it than a picnic.
Soon all six ponies met up and went in the presumed direction.
"So Twi, ya got everythin?"
"Yep, I got everything Applejack. You name it and I got it," She said with a confident smile.
"Note pads?" Rainbow Dash asked with a smug grin on her face, knowing it might be the only thing Twilight had forgotten.
She was right.
Twilight gasped when she realized the note pads were not on the checklist.
"Great, of all the things I forget to bring it had to be the note pads," Twilight scolded herself in a rather annoyed tone.
"Don't worry darling, I'm sure you can remember the scenery when we get home," Rarity assured with a dazzling smile in amusement, trying to cheer her up.
Twilight was about to say something when Rainbow Dash interrupted.
"Is it me or there doesn't seem to be as many trees as before?"
The rest of the group looked around and saw that Rainbow Dash was right. Twilight knew what it meant. She smiled in anticipation.
"Good, we must be getting close to the clearing."
The others took note of what she said and continued on their way.
After some time they reached the end of the tree line, and couldn't believe what they saw.
The clearing was more like a valley…a massive valley. Apart from a number of hedges and rocks it was mostly grassland, with all kinds of flowers growing, which were visited by lots and lots of butterflies. The female group was astonished for the area's beauty and peaceful environment.
"Wow," Widen-eyed Twilight said in awe, wishing she had her note pad with her.
"Oh my gosh, this is so cool!" Rainbow Dash excitedly shouted while also looking up to the sky, knowing that this was the perfect place for flying.
"Sweet Celestia," Rarity uttered with an amazed tone while taking in what she was seeing, might give her inspiration for future dress designs.
Fluttershy gasped when she saw a large blue butterfly in the distance.
"I've never seen that kind of butterfly before," She said to herself, smiling brightly at the pretty flying insect.
"Well I'll be. This place is beautiful," Applejack remarked in agreement while looking at the vast open space of land with a pleased grin.
Then Pinkie Pie, with a huge smile spreading on her pink snout, gave them all a brief scare by jumping out of nowhere and shouting.
"Woohoo, best place to have a picnic EVER!"
With that she ran into the clearing with the other five, after calming themselves down, following her.
Sometime had past and they had finally found a spot to have their picnic. While Twilight was setting up the umbrella, Rarity was laying out the picnic blanket, Applejack was preparing the food, Rainbow Dash was flying to stretch her wings, Pinkie Pie was just hopping all over the place and Fluttershy was being greeted by a large blue butterfly.
"Why hello there."
After hearing her voice, the butterfly flew in close and landed on the tip of her nose. The tiny insect legs tickling her nose was making her giggle.
However she stopped giggling when she noticed the butterfly flying off in the distance, and rather in a hurry. Fluttershy was trying to figure out why her new friend left in such a hurry.
'Why did he leave so soon?' She thought, a bit saddened about the butterfly's leave. 'Is it because he had to go somewhere? Because of my giggling?'
That's when she and the others noticed the shy was darkening as black clouds circled above them.
'Because he can sense trouble and had to get away from it?!' She inwardly guessed herself, panic taking over her being.
Twilight had a nervous look on her face, something was off about these clouds. But before she could think of a plan, Rainbow Dah flew straight for the swirling clouds.
"Don't worry I got this!" She declared casually with confidence on her face, thinking this could be a start of a tornado.
Her plan was to fly into it while it's forming and move the clouds somewhere else or just swat them away with her hooves. But her plan backfired, when a powerful gust of wind blew downwards from the clouds. So powerful in fact it literally pushed Rainbow Dash to the ground with a thud.
"Ooww, that hurt!" She grunted in pain, thinking she may have landed on a stone.
"This isn't normal, even for the Everfree!" Twilight shouted while she and her friends were taking cover from the winds.
Suddenly there was a massive flash and all six ponies looked up to see a swirling white light in the middle of the stormy clouds, lightning bolts escaping from them.
"Twilight, is that what I think it is?" Applejack asked her Alicorn friend with her voice leaking in firm caution, her eyes narrowed at sky. Noticing her orange friend's pointed look at the specific spot in the black clouds, Twilight glanced at the same direction and her eyes widened at the familiar phenomenon.
"A PORTAL! This can't be good."
Princess Twilight Sparkle and her friends were enjoying a nice picnic in the newly discovered Everfree Clearing. Until their nice day was ruined by stormy winds, black thundering clouds and a white portal swirling in the heart of it all. All six ponies were holding their heads down, trying their best to stay on the ground and not be blown away.
During this ordeal, Twilight couldn't tear gaze away from the bright portal.
'What is this? Why is this happening?' Her eyes still wide as her heart stopped for a second when another dread question popped up in her mind.
'What's on the other side?'
Almost as if on que, the portal flashed brightly just as an object came shooting out of it. From a distance it looked like a black meteor, but upon closer inspection one could tell it's a different story. The Mane Six couldn't believe their eyes when the black object flew high over their heads and into the Everfree Forest. After it disappeared over the tree line, all the six ponies could hear was a loud impact not too far away. But the tremor from the impact shook the ground violently, forcing the girls to stay low.
After the shockwaves subsided, the Mane Six looked up at the sky, only to see that the portal was gone, the black clouds dissipating and the winds dying down.
However, the six ponies weren't the only ones who witnessed what transpired. In the opposite direction to where the object landed, hiding in the dense trees, a familiar prisoner escapee was watching.
"Most interesting. I definitely felt great power from that thing, hmmm…I have to check it out later, for I have to pay six pesky ponies a little visit," They muttered to themselves, turning their sights on the Mane Six with an evil grin.
The girls eventually got back up on their hooves and shook the dust off their fur while discussing about the fallen black object.
"What in the name of Celestia was that thing!?" Applejack yelled with panic in her voice while Fluttershy picked up the orange mare's hat and gave it back to her.
A scared Pinkie Pie was first to answer the question.
"I don't know what it is. But all I know is that it looked real spooky. Did anypony else found that spooky black thing spooky? Because I found it spooky!"
"I for one have to agree with Pinkie on this. I don't know why but, that thing almost looked...alive!" Rarity stated in a fearful tone, worrying that she might actually be right about the whole 'alive' part.
"Yeah well, whatever it is, I think we can take care of it," Rainbow Dash assured confidently as if she never experienced the whole event. "And if it is alive, we can always kick butt and take names," Rainbow Dash declared with a smirk while flying and throwing punches in the air for emphasis.
Twilight didn't take notice of the others and kept looking to where the object crashed. She narrowed eyes in much seriousness despite feeling uncertain.
"It couldn't have landed too far away, come on girls lets go check it out," The purple Alicorn ordered that said no playing around, walking in the direction of the crash site for investigation.
But just as the others were about to follow, a wave of magical energy flew up in front of Twilight and over the entire clearing. The Mane Six were trapped in a giant transparent red dome.
"What…what the hay is going on!?" Rainbow Dash angrily shouted while flying full speed at the barrier in hopes to penetrate it. But she only bounced away the moment she hit it.
"We can't get out, Twilight what are we gonna do!?" Applejack asked with panic in her eyes, but she got no response.
"Twi?" She then looked over to Twilight, only to see the princess with disbelief on her face.
"I…I recognize this magic…" Before she could finish what she was saying, a voice was her name from behind.
"PRINCESS TWILIGHT!"
The Mane Six suddenly got a cold chill running through their spines. They recognized that voice. Soon they slowly turned around to see the one who was responsible for the barrier.
Inside the magic dome with the six ponies, was a red and black evil centaur. Standing at twenty feet tall, he towers over his captives. The most distinguishing thing about him was his massive horns, filled with magic waiting to cause harm.
Then the shocked six ponies uttered his name in unison. A name that even the princess of the sun herself fears.
"TIREK!?" They shrieked in horror.
- Everfree Forest, half a mile away from the clearing -
With the black clouds gone, the sun can shine its light through the tree canopy and into the forest below. Soon the sunlight fell upon a huge crater, trying to pierce through the dust and dirt in the air surrounding it. The animals, who all got out of the way before the object crashed to the ground, were now gathering around it, curious of what it was.
Soon most of the dust cleared, and the animals found themselves unable to move. For they were looking at something very familiar, but drastically different.
One race of creatures these animals feared were dragons, but they never seen this kind of dragon before. He looked like a black dragon with no wings and tail, but he was wearing black armor and had yellow hair.
A moment later, he started to open his eyes. The second he showed his yellow soulless eyes to the world, the animals quickly ran or flew away as fast as they could.
Yes he looked like a dragon, but what makes him different was that he wasn't a dragon at all. He was BlackWarGreymon, one of the most powerful Digimon ever.
After his vision cleared from all the blurring, he looked at the big hole in the canopy he made upon arrival.
"Urh…Wha-what happened?" He began to look around in confusion. "Where am I?"
After more questions flew around in his mind, he got up and stood tall on his three toed feet.
"This doesn't feel like the Digital world…but it can't be the human world…it feels different."
He didn't know what this world is, but the world he's in was filled with unknown energy. Though he can't see it, but it's there when he felt it. It's this odd energy that BlackWarGreymon was feeling, and for unknown reasons it's enhancing his strength and power.
"Strange…I feel…stronger than before. Could this weird energy be the cause of it?" His yellow orbs narrowed in ponder.
While he continued to wonder, not too far away, fear was in the air.
- The clearing, inside the dome -
Tirek was walking towards the trembling ponies, terrifying them with every hoof step, Twilight was first to snap out of it.
"How…how did you escape Tartarus?" She demanded with a glare, determined to get answers from the evil lord and trying to keep her composer.
"The same way I escaped the last time," He boomed at her question as an answer. "But I don't have time to explain, for I am here for just one thing…"
With that an orange orb began to form in between his glowing horns, and then fired a destructive orange beam of magical energy at the girls, narrowly missing them and impacted the ground behind them. A frown on his face and his glaring eyes that held hints of eagerness, but they also showed much anger and hatred in them.
"…Revenge."
Defiantly Twilight's horn began to glow and fired a purple magical orb at Tirek, to which he only sidestepped out of the way with a bored manner. He then reached down to grab a rock and threw it at Twilight. Before if could hit her, she teleported a safe distance away.
"I may not be at full strength yet, but I still have the power to crush you all!" He shouted.
He then noticed Rainbow Dash flying towards him, intending to smash her hoof in his face. But before she could do that, Tirek used a telekinesis spell to catch the Pegasus mid-flight. After feeling a tiny twinge of pain in his front left leg Tirek looked down and spotted Applejack kicking him, frowning in annoyance at her like an ant. Using his magic Tirek threw Rainbow Dash into the orange Earth Pony, sending them skidding across the ground painfully.
"Try to cause as much harm as you want ponies, for I doubt it would cause me any more trouble than creating this land," He stated in a mocking tone, while Twilight was trying to figure out what he meant by that last part.
"What do you mean by that?" She asked in confusion without losing the firmness in her tone, but her eyes widen in shock and realization when she found the answer. "You created this clearing!?"
"Yes. It was by means to lure you and your friends here, seemed to have worked," He answered with pride in his tone.
Rarity, despite shaken in fear in the inside, was next to speak. "Oh and I bet you were the cause of that storm and that black meteor, just to try and scare us."
Tirek looked at her in confusion.
"What? You think I did that?" He asked with a brow raised.
"Well it can't be Discord, he's gone away on a holiday. Who else could have created that storm apart from you?" Surprisingly and uncharacteristically bold, Fluttershy questioned him in anger despite WHO she actually was demanding to.
Frowning at this Tirek has had enough of their doubtful questions, he's going to make it clear to the Mane Six.
"That storm was not my doing!"
All the girls froze on the spot, not believing what they were hearing. Twilight broke the silence with widen eyes.
"What?"
Tirek began explaining himself.
"While all of you were distracted by the beauty of the clearing, I was about to spring my trap. But I felt a great disturbance, which was that portal. The energy given off by it created the storm and sent that meteor here," While he was explaining, Twilight's eyes kept growing wider. "If Discord's away, then that portals' origin is unknown."
Inevitably, Twilight shakily asked the question.
"Then…then what was that meteor?"
Before Tirek could answer, something hit him on the back of his head.
"AAAARRHHHH!" He cried in massive pain for his noggin.
Turns out while he was talking to Twilight, Pinkie Pie loaded her party cannon with some rocks and fired them at the back of his head.
"Take that you big meanie!" Pinkie Pie yelled before loading more rocks in her cannon.
While holding the back of his head with one hand, Tirek turned to face the pink mare, giving her a death glare.
"YOU WILL PAY FOR THAT, YOU LITTLE BRAT!"
"Uh-oh," Pinkie Pie said with a frightened face.
- Everfree Forest, half a mile away from the clearing -
BlackWarGreymon only took a few steps out of the crater before he started to wobble. The fatigue from his experience taking its toll. He quickly grasped on a tree to stop himself from falling on his face. All the while he kept asking questions to himself.
"Why… why am I still alive? I was made from Control Spires. I'm an artificial Digimon. I should have died. And why am I here?"
After bombarding himself with more questions, he tried to calm down and clear his mind.
Slowly but surely, he came up with one possibility.
"Wait…could my act of heroism be the reason?" The more he thought about it, the more it made sense. "The whole time of me being the villain was getting me nowhere, almost like a dead end. But being the hero for that one moment felt like it was going somewhere. As if…it was…meant to be."
He slowly raised his head, looking deeply at the sky.
"Did fate brought me to this world, so I can have a second chance…of doing just that?"
His eyes went wide when the next question popped in his head.
"Could this be my purpose… my destiny?"
His questions suddenly went to a halt when he heard a loud explosion to the east, which was then quickly followed by equally loud screaming.
Without even thinking, he started to run full speed towards the source of the new sounds.
"I'm going to get my answers," As he got closer, narrowing his yellow eyes when he could hear evil laughing in the distance.
"One way or another."
- The clearing, inside the dome -
All six ponies were now on the edge of the magic dome, huddling together and trembling in fear. Twilight and Rarity's energy have been drained from using too much magic. Applejack and Rainbow Dash were exhausted to the point of collapse and Pinkie Pie was crying over the loss of her party cannon. Because Fluttershy was avoiding most of the fight, she received little punishment from Tirek, but it wasn't enough to stop her from being frozen in fear with her friends.
While the Mane Six were trapped in the state of terror, Tirek was getting closer, but walking slowly to add more fear into the girls. And his smiling, satisfied grin wasn't helping one bit.
"Oh I've been waiting three long months for this, and now it's finally here."
He was now only ten feet away and the girls have never been so terrified in their whole lives. Tears were flooding out of their eyes, thinking that this was the end.
"Please…no…" Twilight pleaded while holding her friends together, not wanting to leave them.
Tirek's response was as cold as stone.
"I show no mercy Princess Twilight," His arms began to charge up with magic.
"After I destroy you and your friends, my revenge would be fulfilled and nothing can stand in my way from taking over Equestria!" He raised his arms over his head which were now fully charged.
"NOTHING!"
Before he could smash his fists onto the fearful ponies, all of them heard what sounded like breaking glass. Tirek then felt the energy in his magical dome fading away…very quickly.
He may be right about one thing, that nothing in Equestria can stop him. But something NOT from Equestria can.
Tirek and the Mane Six quickly looked up to see not only the magical dome being shattered like glass, but also a black blur landing in between them, throwing up dust from the ground in the process.
"What the heck was that!?" Applejack asked with a jump while trying to hold back her tears. But soon she got her answer.

When the two dark beings made eye contact, Tirek had only one thought crossing his mind. With the new arrival thinking of the same thing.
'Well…this is going to be interesting.'/ 'Well…this is going to be interesting.'
