NOTE: This is a rewritten chapter. If you're new to The Crystal Heart and then you read the next chapter and you wonder why it's all of a sudden been poorly written, its because I haven't done that chapter yet. This message will be removed when I've rewritten all the chapter I needed to do. Also, this story takes place after season 3

"GUY'S OUR INTELLIGENCE HAS BEEN STOLEN!" Shouted Engineer. Everyone in the RED base (disguised as RED bread) woke up.

"What?" Asked Scout. "Aw, crap". Everyone got out of their bed and rushed to get whatever equipment they could get. "Ok, Engie where they at?"

"Up at 2Fort, just get whatever you can find and ditch your hats, we gotta move!". Everyone ran towards the truck. Heavy got in the drivers seat and turned the cars engine on. He pushed the pedals and drove immediately drove to 2Fort. Another day, another briefcase to steal. What could make this day any different?

Meanwhile

In the magical land of Equestria, they lie under the threat of King Sombra. Around a week ago, the crystal heart, the magical item which kept Sombra away from the Crystal Empire, has been mysteriously destroyed. Now everypony in the a Crystal Empire has been enslaved, including Princess Cadence. Sombra visited Cadence's prison cell.

"Hello Cadence..." He said. Cadence looked through the bars of her cell, unable to use magic because of Sombra's influence over the a Crystal Empire

"Sombra..." She glared. "You won't get away with this..." She muttered. "Twilight will stop you again! She always will!". Sombra began to cackle.

"Cadence, we learn from our mistakes..." He said. "Twilight Sparkle...will die, I've already settled it, NOTHING can go wrong!"

Meanwhile

RED team began their assault on the BLU fortress. They stormed through the building, Spy sapped any sentries, Heavy mowed down Soldiers, Medic healed his comrades and Scout was being Scout. They charged into the intelligence room and swiped their briefcase. Well it was theirs but now it belonged to REDS. They all ran out and headed to their side of 2Fort. They charged back, signalling Sniper to cover them, who was sat on second floor of their base. He watched as they ran into their fort. They ran towards their intelligence room and put the briefcase down.

"Whew". Sweated Scout. "Mission accomplished". Spy turned towards Engineer's sentry.

"Engineer, Demomans a Spy!" He exclaimed. Engineer grabbed his wrench and hit 'Demoman' in the face with it and watched as he merged into a BLU Spy. Everyone began to relax as they returned the Intel back without the Administrator or Miss Pauling knowing about it.

"Well done team!" Exclaimed Heavy, pulling out a Sandvich. "We make a good team!", he began to eat it and recover health that wasn't healed. Demoman began drinking his Scrumpy, but then looked at the briefcase then began to wonder something.

"Lads, do you ever wonder what's in there?" He asked. He reached towards the briefcase, until Spy pulled it away.

"Don't, idiot! We dodged a bullet doing this without them knowing, but if they find out we opened a briefcase, then we'll be in deep trouble!". Demoman snatched it back.

"Aw come on, it's only a peek!" He insisted, before Spy snatched it back.

"We are not opening it!" He shouted. Demoman grinned.

"Fine we'll do this the hard way then!" He said, as they both began pulling each side of this briefcase.

Meanwhile

In a certain treehouse, six ponies were sat there, waiting.

"Twilight, what can we do?" Asked the one in the hat. "Celestia's too busy dealing with things on her side, but what can we do?". Five ponies were staring at the purple pony, who had a horn and a wing, commonly referred to as a Alicorn. She sighed.

"Alright, I've got a idea but I fear it'll be risky" she started. "After I became an Alicorn, Celestia and Luna showed me spells that Alicorns are only capable of doing. I'm about to attempt a summoning spell, which should summon some of the greatest fighters in the universe. How many of them I summon, depends on my magic energy." Everypony in the room nodded at each other and looked at Twilight.

"Alright, darling. Do it" she said.

"W-wait" said one of the ponies, shyly. "What if they aren't ponies...what if they're evil?"

"Like I said, it'll be risky but if we don't do anything Ponyville will fall".

Her horn began to flow and a purple portal opened up in the air. Everypony stood back and began to watch Twilight summon these fighters

Meanwhile

"STOP!" Shouted Spy

"GIMME IT!" Screamed Demoman, as they were both pulling on the briefcase, while the rest of RED team watched.

"They've been going at this for ten minutes now..." Said Heavy.

"Shud wee hulp dum?" Mumbled Pyro.

"Nah, let 'em go at it" said Scout, who was eating a bucket of chicken.

*SNAP*

"YOU IMBECILE, THE BRIEFCASE IS OPEN!" Yelled Spy.

"Bloody hell man, you're the one who shoulda let go!" Shouted Demoman, who was looking through the pieces of paper on the floor. It was mostly Intel on and each side. Demoman kicked something away, which hit Sniper's foot. Sniper picked it up and looked at the item, it was a journal? The title read: 'Equestria' he opened it and looked through the entries. Scout peeked.

"Hey, um what're ya reading?" He asked.

"No idea, mate" something about at this place" he flipped through the pages and skimmed them. "...which is supposedly inhabited by colourful ponies...". Everyone laughed at Sniper and looked at the journal he was reading and began to mock him.

As they all flipped through the pages they began to laugh at the poorly edited images of horses and unicorns. Then a purple light emerged in front of them, they all looked away and saw a giant purple circle.

"One of your failed experiments, I suppose doctor?" Asked Spy. Medic stayed silent.

"Guys..." Began Medic. "It's PULLING ME IN!" He screamed as he was getting mysteriously dragged towards this circle. Engineer grabbed Medics hand. Until he started getting dragged as well. Until one by one they all started to get dragged.

"I don't think it's working, Twilly!" Exclaimed a excited voice coming from the portal.

"I'll have to try harder" said another voice who began grunting. Then the force coming from the portal starting pulling harder at the nine RED team warriors until they were flung towards the portal. They were all travelling through some type of wormhole as if they stepped on one of Engineer's teleporters. The first one to get through was Scout, who fell onto a hard, wooden floor.

"W-where am I?" He muttered. Spy was the next to come through the portal and landed on Scout. "Hey, get off me!" Shouted Scout.

"What? You shouldn't of even been on the floor in the first place!" He argued. Then everyone fell through at the same time, landing on top of each other.

"I feel a larger one coming in next!" Said a voice. Everyone knew what that meant, they all attempted to scramble off each other, unfortunately they failed as Heavy fell through last and landed on everyone.

"OW OW OW, get off us fatty!" Shouted Scout as he rolled off and dragged Scout out by the collar.

"What did you say, little man?" Demanded Heavy.

"Heh heh, nothing! Nothing!" Cried Scout, wriggling free.

"*ahem*, fighters we command you to defeat King Sombra!" Said a voice. They all looked at the source of the voice. There were six ponies in front of them. Heavy laughed.

"HAH! Do you little ponies think you can...you can..." Said Heavy, before fainting.

"Well, he didn't last long, anyway the rest of you, I command you as your conjurer to defeat King Sombra!" Commanded the Pony in front of the group, she was purple and had a horn and wings. Everyone else turned pale.

"THAT FREAKIN HORSE JUST T-T-TALKED!" Screamed Scout. As one by one they all fainted. Except Pyro however, since this was an everyday thing for him.

"Erm, alright...YOU THERE, you are the most powerful warrior in the universe and I command you to defeat King Sombra!" Shouted the purple pony.

"Nu" mumbled Pyro.

"Excuse me...erm what did you say? I can't exactly hear...hey if I just take this mask off-". The purple pony tried removing Pyro's mask, this sent Pyro into a fit of rage as he pulled out his axe and threatened the Ponies with it. The purple ones horn started to glow and shocked Pyro unconscious.

"Twilight, what the hay was that?" Asked the Pony in the hat. The purple one, Twilight Sparkle sighed.

"I told all of you it'd be risky, Applejack" she said. The yellow one, Fluttershy came out of hiding.

"They didn't seem...nice" she said, shyly. The unicorn with the elegant purple mane, called Rarity, stepped forward and poked the unconscious RED team members

"Well, if there's one thing we know only one of them has a good style of clothes, ugh" she gagged, specifically poking Scout due to his 'poor' choice of clothing. The pink, excited one, Pinkie Pie seemed to have a positive attitude towards the whole situation

"OOH OOH WHAT IF WE THROW THEM A PARTY!" She giggled. The blue one with the rainbow mane, Rainbow Dash, walked towards the corner and frowned.

"We probably didn't need them anyway..." She muttered.

"Alright, everypony we have a bigger situation now!" Said Twilight. "We don't know what species these creatures are and whether they're good or bad. Yet I don't want to disturb the princess, so could everyone look around in books for species?" She asked. Everypony began searching Twilight's house, which was basically a library in its own way. Twilight decided to risk the fact that she might be disturbing the princess. "Spike!" She shouted. Spike, her dragon walked into the room. "Spike, write a letter: Dear Princess Celestia, I summoned nine creatures of the same species, however I cannot identify what species or what their neutrality is! Please advise what to do, sincerely Twilight Sparkle."

"Got it!" Said Spike, as he breathed fire on it, which sent the letter to the Princess. Alright, now time to find this book

Later that day

Twilight sighed not being able to figure out what they were. She looked at the 'creatures', who were still unconscious. They all looked like the humans in the world through the mirror at the Crystal Empire, but they seemed a bit...plain in colour.

"Humans" read out Applejack. Twilight looked at Applejack, who was reading a book labelled 'Taboo stories'.

"No, they can't be...they look nothing like the ones I saw in that other world!" Said Twilight, reading out from the book. "Nopony knows if humans exist or not, but it is believed they are dangerous hunters, hunting any animal and killing most things. No, that...that can't be true that's not what-"

As they all read the book, they felt something sharp in their necks. Twilight pulled it out and saw a dart, labelled with the letters: ZZZ

"Oops" said a voice. "That was not medicine!". The six ponies all fell asleep, oblivious to who hit them...
