The G1 ponies, humans and Spike stood together, facing the array of villains. It was every villain they'd even known: Tirek, Catrina, The Witches from the Volcano of Gloom, Bumble, Squirk, Princess Porcina, Arabus, Grogar, The Flores, Beezen, The Gizmonks, Crunch, King Charlatan, Lavan, Queen Bumble, Somnambula, The Dragon Gang and Zeb. There were also villains they didn't know so well, which were probably from the G4 world.
"Well well well," Tirek cackled. "This will be easy."
"I don't think so!" Firefly growled, glaring at the enemy. Most of them laughed humorously. Firefly bared her teeth.
"Hold on," Megan spoke up. She stared at the enemy. "We don't want any trouble. We just want you to let our friends go."
"And, uh, not destroy the world." Applejack added. The villains laughed again.
"You can't defeat us, idiots," Catrina laughed. "There is many more of us than there is of you."
"We can do this, right guys!?" Firefly asked, punching the air with her hooves. The others looked a little unsure.
"We have to try." Danny spoke with determination. "Our friends need us." He nodded at the others. They nodded back. And then the fight began.
Firefly flew forward, kicking villains out of her way. The Gizmonks, however, jumped onto her and dragged her down. Twilight teleported away from the Dragon Gang, who were chasing after her. But she was getting tired and they were catching up. So Molly distracted them and let them chase her instead. Lavan was terrorizing Applejack and Posey. They raced away from his lava, trying not to get burned. Surprise was carrying Sparkler away from Crunch and Arabus.
"Drop me on them!" Sparkler told Surprise. "I'll have a go at taking them down!" Surprise nodded and dropped the pony onto Arabus. She brought him down; he landed on Crunch. All three of them got caught in a tornado created by Arabus. Surprise flew in and rescued Sparkler before she could get hurt. The tornado started bringing other villains in like the Dragon Gang, the Flores and Queen Bumble.
"I think I know what to do!" Megan spoke up. "Firefly, Surprise - increase the size of that tornado. We'll drag all the villains in!" The pegasi nodded and joined the tornado, their wings beating. The tornado increased and wind rushed through. It was hard for anyone to stand up. The remaining G1 ponies, humans and Spike ran a safe distance away from the tornado and watched as it sucked in the villains like a vacuum. Firefly and Surprise kept it stable. Their allies cheered.
"Now we've got to free the others." Danny spoke up. He turned to Spike. "Come on, Spike. Let's go find 'em." He and Spike raced away, avoiding the tornado. They searched the dark, eerie area that is Tartarus, searching for the G4 characters. They found them in a cage, but the path was blocked by Cerberus.
"What do we do now?" Spike asked, frowning. Danny gasped.
"I've got an idea!" he said. He took off his red cap and waved it at Cerberus. "Here, boy! Catch!" He threw it far away. The dog's eyes lit up with excitement; it chased after the hat. Danny and Spike ran up to the cage carrying the mane six.
"Hey girls," he greeted. "I'm Danny. You remember me, right?"
"Hi, Danny!" Pinkie Pie replied cheerfully. "I definitely do remember you! You're that boy human!" She waved at Spike. "Oh, hey Spike!"
"FREEDOM AT LAST!" Rarity cried. "I can finally leave this awful place."
"You mean we." Applejack grumbled, eyeing her.
"Of course I meant that." Rarity chuckled anxiously.
"I'll get you out of there." Danny told them. He frowned. "Somehow…. Spike, do you know how to open this?"
"It's opening by itself." Spike responded. He was correct: the jar bars were disappearing. The ponies gasped in surprise.
"Because Cerberus is gone, there is no guard, so we can escape." Twilight Sparkle observed. "Fascinating." She paused. "Danny, Spike…. Where are your other friends?"
"Back at the tornado," Danny answered. He grinned, slicking back his hair. "Oh yeah, we caught all the villains in a huge tornado. It was a breeze." He winked.
"Good one!" Pinkie Pie complemented, giving him a high-five. Rainbow Dash did as well. Rarity groaned.
"Come on," Danny told the girls. "Let's get out of here."
The G1 and G1 characters met and reunited in the foyer of the lair, far from the villain tornado. Firefly and Surprise had stopped the tornado; the villains were so dizzy they couldn't stand up. Everyone was safe. For now.
"You're still lookin' cool." Rainbow Dash told Firefly. "Not as cool as me, but up there."
"Likewise." Firefly replied, hoof-bumping the rainbow pegasus. Surprise was showing Pinkie Pie her flying skills. Twilight Sparkle and Twilight were talking about books. Posey and Fluttershy were discussing animals. The Applejacks were conversing about plants. Sparkler and Rarity spoke about clothes.
"Okay, listen up, everyone," Megan spoke up. "It's nice to meet you all, but we should leave before the villains-" She was interrupted by G4 Tirek bursting in, followed by Queen Chrysalis.
"You're not going anywhere." he boomed. He was slightly larger than the other ponies; he must've gotten magic from Tartarus.
"We will stop you." Queen Chrysalis agreed, flapping her insect wings. She hovered above ground.
"Who's the ugly swiss cheese pony?" Firefly asked. Queen Chrysalis glared at her. Tirek fired a bolt of fire magic. Everyone managed to leap out of the way.
"Not today, Tirek." Twilight Sparkle growled. She put a shield in front of her allies and shot a blast of magic at the villains. Tirek defended himself. Queen Chrysalis changed her form and turned into Twilight Sparkle. She began firing magic of her own.
"That's pretty shifty." Danny commented, eyeing Queen Chrysalis. He grinned. "Get it? Shape-shifting?"
"Now's not the time, Danny." Megan sighed. Molly giggled. She faced the villains. Twilight Sparkle was defending everyone. Firefly was glaring at the villains. Sparkler was trying to perform a spell; same with Twilight. Suddenly Megan gasped. She knew what to do. "Everyone," she stared at the ponies. "The unicorns - if they work together - can teleport us out of here."
"Good idea!" Twilight Sparkle responded. She gazed at her fellow unicorns. "We need to circle everypony else. Then we need to combine our magic. We'll teleport to Ponyville. My Ponyville. Think of that Ponyville." The unicorns nodded. They surrounded their friends. The villains were staring at them in surprise. The unicorns lit their horns up; magic flowed throughout the room. It covered the group.
"What's this?" Queen Chrysalis asked, reverting back to herself.
"They're teleporting away." Tirek gasped in realization. He growled. "Stop them!" But it was too late. They had escaped. Tirek roared in frustration. Queen Chrysalis shook her head.
"It doesn't matter," she told him. "We can still go ahead with the plan. They won't be able to stop us."
Tirek nodded, satisfaction appearing on his face. "I agree," he said. "They will fall to us."
The group appeared in central Ponyville. The unicorns high-fived each other. The others congratulated them.
"Nice job, y'all," G4 Applejack told them. "But what now?"
"We train you, duh!" Danny answered, smirking. "I mean, how else are we gonna stop the baddies? With untrained fillies?"
"You callin' me untrained!?" Rainbow Dash snapped, giving him a glare.
"Okay, let's calm down," Megan spoke up. "Danny does have a point. We should be prepared for this. But we'll need to work together."
"We always do that!" Pinkie Pie said brightly. She somehow hugged everyone at once. "Friendship is the true power!"
"Pinkie Pie is right," Twilight Sparkle agreed. "If we work together, we can stop the villains."
"Then let's get right into it!" Danny cheered.
