Disclaimer: I don't own any characters appearing in this fic.
Meta-Verse Department Agency
In the cafeteria, we see Konata Izumi, Tomoko Kuroki, Tsumiki Miniwa, Kon and Mio Naganohara sitting at a table.
"So apparently we know what Chika actually is." Konata said.
"Yeah, I getcha." Tsumiki said.
"It's still bothers me, master." Kon said.
"I can tell." Konata said.
"At any rate, what are your plans?" Mio asked.
"My plans are to get out and get some fresh air." Tomoko said.
"That's it?" Tsumiki asked.
"What else can I do?" Tomoko asked.
Konata sighed. "Well that's a bummer."
"I know." Everyone except Konata and Kon said.
Chinami Oka came to them. "Hey guys."
"Chinami. What's up?" Tsumiki asked.
"Tilel has been acting a bit suspicious here lately." Chinami said.
"Why?" Konata asked.
"I'm not quite sure." Chinami said.
"Do we go and talk to her ourselves?" Tsumiki asked.
"No. I'm here." Tickle "Tilel" Selvatlos came to them.
"So, what's up?" Konata asked.
"Shadow King returned." Tilel said.
Konata, Tomoko, Tsumiki and Kon looked at each other, then at Tilel. "Where?"
"In Equestria." Tilel said.

Meta-Verse Department Agency
Flandre drove to the Agency, then gets out of the big limo. "Is there a problem?"
Konata, Tomoko, Tsumiki, Kon, Mio, Paiman, Katy Caterpillar, Kiki Caterpillar, Koko Caterpillar, Remon Yamano, Bee no. 5344, Kouko Kaga, Chinami, Tilel, Yuuko Aioi, Mai Minakami, Nano Shinonome, Hakase, Sakamoto, Chika Itou, Matsuri Sakuragi, Nobue Itou, Miu Matsuoka, Ana Coppola, Unico, Ika Musume, Blue and another female are there.
This female wears a white and pink helmet that covers her hair and black eyes. She wears a sleeveless pink dress, pink gloves and pink boots. This is Sweet S.
"We're heading to Equestria." Katy said.
"Equestria? Isn't that where ponies live?" Flandre asked.
Katy nodded.
"Huh. Why there?" Flandre asked.
"Because I feel that the Shadow King has returned, and he's there." Tilel said.
"Do you say? Well then, hop on in." Flandre said.
Later, they're in the limo, driving to Equestria.
"I don't know how, but I wasn't expecting Shadow King to return that soon." Tilel said.
"You thought you stopped him?" Sweet S. said.
"I thought I did. I was wrong." Tilel said.
"Don't worry. I have many enemies of mines coming back all the time." Sweet S. said.
"That is bad, actually." Tsumiki said.
"Not as bad as that Nazi warlord still chasing after us." Sweet S. said.
"Yeah I knew that." Konata said.
"Why do you think Shadow King returned?" Sweet S. asked.
"I have no clue." Tomoko said.
"He must have a reason for doing so." Paiman said.
"I see." Sweet S. said.
"We're reaching there now." Flandre said.
Equestria
They reached Equestria, which is filled with pony residents.
"This is Ponyland alright." Konata said.
"Master, we should be careful." Kon said.
"Don't worry. Last time we have known of a suspicious pony, so I wouldn't say this would cause some problems." Konata said.
"I see." Kon said.
"Who do we talk to first?" Kiki asked.
"Whoever is in charge here." Tilel said.
Kiki nodded.
They reached a castle, and Flandre parked near the entrance of the castle. Everyone has gotten out.
Pony guards came to them. "State your claim of being here."
"I come to you because I fear that an enemy is among us." Tilel said.
The guards looked at each other, then faces them. "Step inside." The guards let them in.
The Meta-Verse Agents begin to move forward. They have walked for a while, then reached the throne room, where a tall pony sat on her throne.
This pony is white and has purple eyes. She has wings of a Pegasus, a large unicorn horn, her mane and tail are blue, green, purple and pink, has a sun based cutie mark and wears a gold crown, gold bracelet and gold hoof boots. This is Princess Celestia.
"I am Princess Celestia, princess of Equestria. You're all outworlders from different realms. Why did you came here?"
"Princess, it is because of a threat that looms here." Tilel said.
"You meaning the Shadow King?" Celestia asked.
"How in the world do you know that?" Katy asked.
"One of my guards had been attacked by the Shadow King. His horrible reign of terror falls along the land, and he won't stop until his darkness covers every of Equestria." Celestia said.
"We're your best bet on stopping him." Paiman said.
"So you outworlders are brave enough to face the Shadow King, I see." Celestia said.
"Some of us did, so we know what to expect." Konata said.
"I see. Well then, carry on, brave heroes. Save Equestria." Celestia said.
"Well do, princess." Katy bows, then turns to face the Agents. "Well then, we have a job to do."
Later, they're out of the castle of Equestria, searching for any trace of the Shadow King. They come upon a house.
"Who lives there?" Tsumiki asked.
"Who knows?" Konata said.
They proceed to go in. Once they gotten in, they saw books flying around. At the end of the house, we see a pony looking through a book.
This pony is purple and has purple eyes. She has wings, a small horn, a star based cutie mark and her mane and tail is purple and pink. This is Twilight Sparkle.
"This is a weird way to do it." Kon said.
Twilight looks up from her book to see the Agents. "Oh. Did not hear you come in."
"What the squid is wrong with this kraken place?" Ika asked, seeing this awkward.
"Well, you see, she has multiple books here, and there is not enough shelf space due to too much being in there, so she made them float around." A dragon came to them.
This dragon is not the size of Grima, but the size of a human child that is purple and has green eyes and has a green stomach and lower face and the bottom of his tail is green. He also has green spikes on top of his head going all the way down to his tail. This is Spike.
"That's another dragon." Ika said.
"Not as bad as other dragons." Spike said.
"Not bad." Konata said.
"Why are you here?" Twilight asked.
"Because of Shadow King." Tilel said.
Twilight cringes at this. "I knew you were gonna say that."
"That name scares you." Konata said.
"Not just the name. Every of it scares me." Twilight said.
"I understand that." Tsumiki said.
"That's why you're here." Spike said.
"Exactly." Katy said.
"Hmm...I don't know how to help on this." Twilight said.
"If you don't know how to help on this, then don't help at all."
The Agents tries to find the source of the voice, but not seeing anything.
"What are you?" Katy sees the thing.
Everyone looked down and saw a small old man.
This man is bald, except for some white hair on the back of his head, a white mustache, a brown sucker nose and big white eyes with tiny black pupils. He has four arms and wears a brown long-sleeve shirt and black baggy pants. This is Myoga, who is a Flea Yokai.
"Man, you're the size of an ant yourself." Katy crouches down to see Myoga.
"That's because I'm the size of a flea, hence why I'm called a Flea Yokai." Myoga said.
"What's a Yokai?" Katy asked.
"Type of demon." Myoga said.
"Hmm. This is gonna be odd, actually." Katy said.
"What's a flea doing in here?" Twilight asked.
"I'm a Yokai! Not just a flea!" Myoga snapped.
"Don't know what those are." Twilight said.
"Very suspicious." Blue barked.
"I'm sorry, what did that dog said?" Myoga asked.
"You mean you can't understand her?" Katy asked.
Myoga shook his head.
"She said very suspicious." Katy said.
"Me? Suspicious? Since when did I became a shady character, huh?!" Myoga walks towards Blue and jumped high and managed to get on her nose. "Why am I that suspicious?!"
"You're a flea." Blue barked.
"I still don't know what you're saying." Myoga said.
Katy sighed. "This is gonna be a problem."
"So Shadow King you say? He's actually in the dark woods of Equestria right now." Myoga said.
"That would be a good place for him to be." Twilight said.
"Are you sure about that?" Konata asked.
"What else can I say?" Twilight asked.
Konata sighed. "Myoga, does he have any followers he had possessed?"
"Well, no, not really. I don't think." Myoga said.
"That's not helping." Konata said.
"That's all I can say. I don't know anything else." Myoga said.
"Anything else, huh?" Mister Mosquito came flying in.
"When did you came here?" Katy asked.
"Heard that you guys have a problem. So I'm here to get rid of this shit mess." Mosquito grabs out his guns and swings them on his pointer fingers.
"You're a gunslinger?" Myoga asked.
"Yes, I am. The legendary outlaw, Mosquito the Kid."
"Yeah, right." Katy said.
"I can picture that alright." Konata said.
"Not you too." Katy said.
"I did know of one thing about Shadow King though, and this what some of the ponies are whispering about." Mosquito said.
"About what?" Konata asked.
"It's about Rarity. Remember Nightmare Rarity? Well, Shadow King has possessed her." Mosquito said.
Break
"You mean, Rarity is Nightmare Rarity again?" Twilight asked.
"So you dealt with this before." Konata said.
Twilight nodded. "I didn't expect her to return so quick."
"What do we do?" Spike asked.
"We have to gather the others. We don't have much time left." Twilight said.
"You have others?" Tsumiki asked.
"I do." Twilight said.
"Alright. Let's see them." Katy said.
Twilight, Spike and the Meta-Verse Agents goes to a house where the former's friends are. Inside the house, they saw that it was party decorated.
"Did someone throw a party here?" Paiman asked.
"You can say that again." Twilight said.
"Who has thrown the party?" Katy asked.
"I did." A pink pony lands on the ground.
This pink pony has blue eyes and dark pink mane and tail, and has a cutie mark that has three balloons. This is Pinkie Pie.
"That's Pinkie Pie. Our party thrower." Twilight said.
"Yikes. She has a lot of things to throw parties at, huh?" Mosquito said.
"I do it on every occasion." Pinkie said.
"Even at random." Twilight said.
"Did someone say 'random'?" Raggedy Ann came to them.
"What in the world are you doing here?" Katy asked.
"Well, I thought of doing a favor for Pinkie Pie here and we thrown a party together." Ann said.
"Ai yai yai." Katy rubs her face.
"Wow. That's one creepy rag doll." Myoga said.
Ann turns to the readers. "Folks, I am officially a part of Pinkie's party gang now."
"Party gang?" Everyone except Pinkie asked.
"Yep. I made her an official member. Mm-hmm." Pinkie said.
"No time for that now. Shadow King returned." Tilel said.
Ann's smile then turned into shock. "How?"
"We found out that Rarity has been possessed by him." Katy said.
"That's why she's Nightmare Rarity." Ann thinks about this. "How did that work?"
"He must have fooled her or something." Konata said.
"That's bad." Ann said.
"I know." Konata said.
"Especially when he got himself involved in this now." Tsumiki said.
"If it's Shadow King we're facing, then leave it to me." A light blue pony flew to them.
This light blue pony has pink eyes, has wings, a cutie mark that resembles a cloud with rainbow lightning, rainbow mane and a rainbow tail. This is Rainbow Dash.
"Rainbow Dash. Our tough companion." Twilight said.
"Tough, huh? How tough is she?" Myoga asked.
"She's competitive." Twilight answered.
"I see." Myoga said.
"Applejack and Fluttershy are outside." Rainbow said.
"Alright. That's where we gather the whole group, right?" Tsumiki asked.
"Exactly." Twilight said.
"Let's go then. We don't have much time to waste." Konata said.
They went outside minutes later, and they saw two ponies. One grabbing apples from a tree, and the other taking care of bunnies.
The first pony is orange and has green. He has a light yellow mane, a light yellow tail, a cutie mark that resembles three apples and wears a brown hat. This is Applejack.
The second pony is light yellow and has blue eyes. She has wings and has a pink mane and pink tail and has a cute mark that resembles butterflies. This is Fluttershy.
"So this is the whole crew?" Katy asked.
"Yep. Applejack, the farming pony, and Fluttershy, the animal caretaker." Twilight said.
"Neat. Katy-sensei would love to have Fluttershy attend her class." Konata said.
"Uh-huh. I might think about it." Katy said.
Applejack was the first one to see the team. "Oh, welcome visitors. How's it goin'?"
"Applejack. It's about Shadow King." Twilight said.
"Yikes. Are we facing him now?" Applejack asked.
"Not yet. We're not fully equipped yet." Twilight said.
"Yeah we are. We have special abilities." Tilel said.
Ann nodded in agreement.
"Special abilities, huh? That's oughta come in handy." Applejack said.
Fluttershy sees the team, but turns to the bunnies.
"That's why she's called Fluttershy." Myoga said.
"She's like that, even though that annoys me a lot." Rainbow said.
"It's reasonable. But she couldn't be shy of a caterpillar like me." Katy said.
"Is that so?" Fluttershy whispered.
"Yes. That so." Katy nodded.
Fluttershy looks at the bunnies for a minute, then sighed. "I'll accept you."
"There's more than just me honestly. I have children." Katy said.
"Children?" Rainbow made a confused face.
"Long story." Koko said.
Rainbow nodded.
"He is coming!" A female came to them.
This female has blonde hair and red eyes. She wears a pink dress with brown long sleeves, metal gloves and brown thigh-high boots. This is Djeeta.
"What's wrong?" Twilight asked.
Djeeta got to them, then panted. "The Shadow King. He's coming here."
"Dammit. Prepare yourselves!" Tsumiki said.
Dark purple clouds appeared in the sky, then out came Nightmare Rarity, then the Shadow King.
"I knew we're gonna face Nightmare Rarity again." Konata said.
"It has been a while, hasn't it?" Nightmare Rarity asked.
"Long time no see, Tilel." Shadow King said.
"What is it you want this time?" Tilel asked.
"I want Twilight, as she is my main objective." Shadow King said.
"It's because I have full knowledge of Equestria." Twilight said.
"That's nuts." Konata said.
Twilight slowly nodded.
"It's time we start this war. And Equestria will be mines for the taking. But first, I need Twilight so that I can get rid of Princess Celestia so I can take the throne." Shadow King said.
"I'm not letting you control just like how you're controlling Rarity right now." Twilight said.
"Is that so? Well then, I have no choice but to get you myself. Nightmare Rarity, destroy the others." Shadow King said.
"Yes, master." Nightmare Rarity flew down to the team.
"What do we do now?" Katy asked.
"I'm thinking here." Ann said.
"Aw, great. We need a plan." Katy said.
"And I'll be your plan." A female holding a chainsaw came to them.
This female has short brown hair and purple-ish eyes. She wears a pink short-sleeve dress, white thigh-high socks and pink laced-up shoes. This is Haruna.
"And who are you?" Katy asked.
"Haruna. Now get back. I'm gonna slice this Shadow guy myself."
"You dare oppose me? Very well. But know this. Consequences will come upon you."
"We'll see about that." Haruna charges at the Shadow King, then she spins around with her chainsaw, but the Shadow King flew away from Haruna, but gets behind her and grabs her, then throws her to a tree.
Djeeta grabs out her and charges at the Shadow King. He grabs the sword, then grabs Djeeta in the neck.
"You can't win. Darkness always wins." Shadow King coughs up black smoke out of his mouth, and it got into Djeeta, possessing her.
"Dammit." Konata said.
Djeeta turns to the team, then she charges at them.
"Look out!" Tsumiki said.
Rainbow charges at Djeeta, and she kicked the sword-wielder with her hind hooves.
Katy shoots her Big Impact Gun at Nightmare Rarity, causing her to be thrown to a tree. "Easy target."
Tsumiki grabs out her rapier and she runs up to Shadow King, then tries to slice him, but he turned into smoke and throws Tsumiki to a tree with full force.
"Djeeta, snap out of it. He's evil. You don't wanna be like him." Tilel said.
"I work for only Shadow King." Djeeta holds her sword up high, then she almost sliced Tilel, but is blocked by Haruna's chainsaw. "What?"
"Easy as pie." Haruna said.
"Out of the way." Djeeta said.
"I'm not letting you be taken control by this freak show here." Haruna said.
Chika grabs out her cards and she threw them at Shadow King, to which hands grabs Shadow King, then pins him to the ground.
"You got him!" Miu said.
"Hopefully." Chika said.
"What do you mean?" Miu asked.
"I mean, I don't know how long they can hold him." Chika said.
Miu nodded. "Find something that is possessing every of them."
"I think it's his powers, Miu." Chika said.
"Really?" Miu asked.
Chika nodded.
"Huh. Well, let's stop him while he's pinned to the ground." Miu said.
"Alright." Chika said.
"Careful." Katy said.
"We will, Katy-sensei." Miu said.
Unfortunately, Shadow King gets out of the cards' grasp and destroys every each one of them with his dark magic.
"Plan b?" Miu asked.
"No." Chika said.
Shadow King turns to Chika. "The daughter of Ego. I heard of you."
"How?" Chika asked.
"I worked for a Celestial one time, but then he vanished me." Shadow King said.
"Arishem." Chika said.
"Yes." Shadow King said.
"Well, well, well. I knew we can see each other back again." Kryptomites came out of the shadows.
"It's you again." Tsumiki said.
"You destroyed the Archon. Now, I work for Brainiac." Kryptomites said.
"He's still alive?" Konata asked.
"He is still alive." Kryptomites said.
"I thought Brody killed him, along with his crew." Tsumiki said.
"Brody was a betrayer alright, but Brainiac and his crew managed to escape." Kryptomites said.
"Damn." Konata said.
"Now, it's time for you all to die, right here, right now." Kryptomites' hands opens up and they fired crystal missiles.
"Aw squid. Watch out!" Ika ran to the side of the house.
The missiles got inside the house, and explodes.
"My party decorations!" Pinkie screamed in horror.
Kryptomites snickered. "I'm afraid your house is hiding something."
"Like what?" Tsumiki asked.
"The Cube." Kryptomites said.
"Wait. The one that Periwinkle was talking about?" Hakase asked.
"So he knew. Yes, the Cube." Kryptomites said.
"I'm not letting you get it." Periwinkle appeared in purple smoke, and so as Hello Kitty.
"Curses." Kryptomites said.
"This ends now." Periwinkle holds up her wand and light came out of it.
Shadow King screams in pain. "You'll pay for this." He disappears.
"We will return." Nightmare Rarity flew into the dark clouds, and they disappear.
"Rarity." Twilight said.
"Well then, is that how that's gonna work." Kryptomites ran to Periwinkle and they both fell to the ground, tackling each other.
Periwinkle manages to grab both of Kryptomites hands, then breaks them.
Kryptomites screamed in pain. "My hands!"
"Tell your friend that the Cube is safe with us." Periwinkle said.
"I'll be back." Kryptomites then goes off into the woods.
"Well that was swell." Konata said.
"He's gone now. But doesn't mean he'll return." Katy said.
"Now, what is this Cube that you're talking about?" Hakase asked.
Periwinkle sighed. "I guess everything has to be revealed, huh?"
"But sir, I-" Hello Kitty gets interrupted.
"It's okay. They need to know now." Periwinkle said.
Hello Kitty nodded.
"It's in the basement of the house. This very house." Periwinkle said.
"Why?" Twilight asked.
"Dororo worked with me, and I told her to hide the Cube." Periwinkle reveals.
"Dororo?" Tsumiki asked.
"The thief?" Katy asked.
"Yes. Her." Periwinkle said.
"Why did she work for you?" Tsumiki asked.
"Because I needed someone capable of getting the Cube from Megatron and keeping it safe. Megatron sends in his bodyguard, Lockdown." Periwinkle said.
"To hunt the Cube down?" Konata asked.
Periwinkle nodded.
"Is it actually called the Cube?" Nano asked.
"Actually, it is called the Allspark. The creation of Cybertron." Periwinkle said.
"The Allspark?" Konata asked.
"Yes." Periwinkle said.
"And it's down in our house?" Twilight asked.
"Yes." Periwinkle said.
"Take us to it." Katy said.
"Alright then. If you're curious." Periwinkle then proceeds to go into the house.
"Let's follow him." Tsumiki said.
Konata nodded.
They have gone into the house, then later, goes into the basement. And what they saw is nothing like they've ever seen before.
"This is the Allspark." Periwinkle said.
Standing right in front of them is a giant metal cube. The Allspark.
