Chapter 25: The Big Brawl, Part 2
*Main theme*
The view was black for a moment as Chase groaned in pain.
"Chase? Chase! Answer me!" Twilight shouted, her voice muffled to her husband as he began waking up as he blinked several times.
His family and friends that spoke also sounded muffled to the alicorn stallion.
"Buddy!" Sokka said.
"Bro, wake up!" Sunray said desperately.
"Wake up, Chase! Open your eyes!" Jade cried out worriedly.
Chase's vision became cleared. He was still lying on the ground, covered in bruises and scratches. He saw the rest of his family, Sokka, and Clay staring at him with concern.
He groaned in pain as he struggled to get up.
"Guys?" Chase asked while struggling to get up.
"Oh, thank goodness you're okay, honey!" Twilight said, hugging her husband with all her might as tears fell down from her face, making him wince.
"It's good to see you too, sweetie!" Chase said as his bones cracked a bit. "But please! Let go! Let go! Back stiff!"
Twilight immediately let go of her husband.
"Sorry, Chase." Twilight apologized as she blushed a bit.
"What happened?" Chase asked.
"The Quinkan, Kai, Wuya, and Tai Lung left the place." Santos replied as he showed his son that everything was still a blaze.
Then Chase remembered that they were one pony short.
"Wait, wait!" Chase said as he looked around frantically. "W-Where's Nyx?"
Twilight, Trini, Antonio, Jade, Sunray, Santos, Clay, and Sokka shared worried looks with each other as they turned to him.
"They took her, Chase." Twilight said with worry in her voice as tears streamed down from her face.
Chase was shocked by this as he held Twilight close to him as his wife cried softly in his chest, worried for their daughter.
All that worry and sadness in Chase began to replace raw anger in him. He knew Zhao had done this plenty of times to torment him, but with Nyx in his grasp, he finally had enough of the Quinkan leader causing so much misery around him and his family.
This was a whole new level for him.
"Then we need to stop him by forming an army of our own." Chase said firmly to his family.
"How?" Antonio asked concerned. "It's the end of the world as we know it. And I don't feel fine about it."
"Guys!" Spike's voice shouted as the nine ponies turned to see the rest of the Mane Sixteen arriving as quickly as they could to them.
"Thank goodness you're all alright!" Rarity said with relief.
"Are you okay, honey?" Fluttershy asked as she hugged Sokka.
"I'm fine, sweetheart. We all are." Sokka assured his wife gently while hugging her back as Clay and Applejack hugged each other with relief as well.
"What happened?" Rainbow asked with concern.
"Kai, Tai Lung, Wuya, and the Quinkan have taken us down. And they've got Nyx." Sunray explained.
"They've got Nyxie?!" Pinkie asked in horror.
"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go rescue her!" Rainbow said with determination.
"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!" Dojo said, jumping on her face as she cringed in surprise. "Are you out of your mind?! We can't take on an army that big! Zhao could be unstoppable now!"
"Guys, Dojo's right. With the Quinkan that strong, there's no telling how we're gonna rescue Nyx and save the world." Jade said with worry.
Chase nodded in agreement.
"Which is why we have to form an army of our own." Chase said firmly. "Let's get back to the castle so we can get patched up."
The rest of the Mane Sixteen tensed up before they became nervous.
"Uh, yeah, about that." Dojo said with concern.
Chase, Jade, Sunray, Twilight, Trini, Santos, Jewel, Sokka, and Clay became confused.
"What did you do?" Chase asked in concern.
(Scene changes)
It wasn't long until they were back in the Castle of Friendship when Chase, his family, and two friends were surprised to see all of the citizens of Ponyville were in the foyer.
Chase was the first to recover.
"You guys brought everypony in town here?!" Chase exclaimed in surprise.
"We didn't know where else to put them. Every building except the castle is burning to the ground from the flames of the Sanzu River." Fluttershy explained.
Twilight felt hesitant before she conceded with Chase and the rest of their family.
"Alright, but we better keep them safe from the outside. There's no telling if Zhao has any of his soldiers spying on us." Twilight said with a concerned look.
"We better get ready too. We have a fight to gear up." Chase said with a firm look on his face, determined to get his daughter back. "Head to the throne room, guys. We gotta find out where Zhao has Nyx."
The others nodded as they, minus Twilight and Chase, went to the throne room leaving the alicorn couple alone.
Chase gazed out a window to see the sky that is now a fierce red color as flames continued to burn the rooftops of the houses. Twilight joined her husband as she tucked her head under his chin and he held his wife with much needed comfort.
"What're we gonna do, honey?" Twilight asked with worry for Nyx. "I'm so worried for our baby girl."
"Me too, Twilight." Chase said as he let a few tears fall from his eyes. "I've already lost one member of my family, I'm not losing another. We're gonna get Nyx back no matter what happens."
Twilight nodded in agreement as the royal couple continued to hold each other while gazing out at the fiery destruction the Quinkan caused.
(Scene changes)
Nyx was still unconscious as moaned tiredly as she struggled to open her eyes as some blurry figures were standing over her.
When her vision became clear, she saw Wuya and Tai Lung smirking down at her evilly. They were inside the Blue Dragon hideout in Manehatten.
Seeing them made her gasp in horror and shock as she struggled to break free, only to find that she was bound in chains.
"Had a nice nap, you little brat?" Wuya mocked gloatingly with a wicked smile. "Hope the chains weren't too uncomfortable."
"Oh no, these chains were very nice. One of my favorites." Nyx said sarcastically with a glare before she snapped angrily. "Not really!"
She struggled to break free from the chains, but to no avail.
"You won't get away with this, Wuya and Tai Lung!" Nyx shouted angrily.
"Hmm, I'll tell you what. As soon as Master Zhao has the power of the five Dragon Guardians, we take over the world just like we did many years ago, and you lose your precious family again like last time, I think we'll get away with it." Wuya said with a mocking smile.
Nyx glared at the two angrily.
"All of that power will make him more insane than he already is!" Nyx said angrily.
"That is just the idea, Nyx." Zhao said as he made his presence to the alicorn filly, making her gasp in surprise. "You see, I have been waiting for a millenia to find more power in order to destroy the world. The power of the five Dragon Guardians are the most magical energies this realm has ever known and that's just the beginning. Soon, all of Equestria will be under my banner and I will transform this world into the next Netherworld with all five of the powers."
Nyx felt more horrified by this.
"I will take her to the Temple of the Ninja Tribunal with me and the rest of the Quinkan. Stay with Kai, Draco, and the Blue Dragons." Zhao instructed Tai Lung and Wuya sternly. "I have business to get the Zeo Crystal."
"Yes, master." Wuya and Tai Lung replied back before they went off screen somewhere else.
Zhao turned to smirk down at Nyx as the alicorn filly glared at the Quinkan leader.
"You are coming with me, Nyx." Zhao said, grabbing the captive filly by the chains as she struggled to break free, but still failed to do so. "Those chains won't do you any good. Struggle all you want, it shall not help you."
The Quinkan leader drags Nyx off screen somewhere else as she continues to struggle in order to break free yet she continues to fail.
(Scene changes)
Back at the Castle of Friendship, the Mane Sixteen were gathered in the throne room as they continued to find out where the Quinkan had taken Nyx held captive. And were no close to solving it.
"I don't get it. Of all the ponies, why would Zhao want Nyx?" Clay asked in confusion. "She's just a kid."
"A kid that is an alicorn, honey." Applejack remarked with a glare.
Clay smiled sheepishly before they continued to look at the map.
"I know that Nyx is very powerful for an alicorn filly, but she doesn't seem like the type for Zhao's personal goal to rule Equestria." Starlight said as she approached Twilight and Chase with concern. "I mean she's good with martial arts and was born an alicorn princess from her birth parents who were jiu jitsu masters from the past, but why would Zhao want her held hostage?"
"She could be his next supply of power to terraform Equestria into the next Netherworld." Rarity said with worry while looking at the map. "Even if Zhao has the ability to channel enough magic by absorbing them, what would he want as well?"
"We're not sure, Rarity." Santos said. "For all we know he must be keeping her hostage until he's getting the other part of his plan."
"But we don't know that for sure." Twilight said concernedly as she used her magic to clear the map clean, making the locations disappear. "I just want my baby back."
"We all want her back, honey." Chase said reassuringly to his wife. "But right now we need to formulate a plan to stop the Quinkan from destroying the world."
"We'll just have to think of something to find out where his next location is gonna be." Jewel said with a firm look.
That's when the doors opened, causing everypony to turn and see Dojo standing at the entrance of the throne room.
"Well, lucky for you guys, I know exactly where their next move is going to be." Dojo said as he climbed on the map with a familiar book Chase and the Elite Ninja found in the Crystal Mountains when they stopped Dojo in his Dragonquin form.
"Where?" Chase asked in confusion.
Dojo replied by opening the book to show the Temple of The Ninja Tribunal hidden deep in Manehattan.
"He's going for the Zeo Crystal hidden deep in Manehattan." Dojo said with confirmation.
The others were surprised by this, but they were also confused.
"Uh, Dojo, for a moment." Rainbow said with sarcasm. "Pretend that I don't know anything about creepy dimensional worlds, ninja clans, spirits, or berserk magical energy and just tell us what exactly this Zeo Crystal has to do with the Quinkan getting to it."
Dojo glared at her.
"You need to study more." Dojo said in annoyance before recomposing himself. "The Zeo Crystal is an ancient gem that the original Elite Ninja fought the Quinkan with the help of the five Dragon Guardians before the ancient beasts infused their powers to create the ultimate magical energy gem and keep it safe from harm. And this crystal is also located at the bottom of the lake in Manehattan."
"What are you saying?" Trini asked the serpent.
"What I'm saying is that it's the Temple of The Ninja Tribunal, the original Elite Ninja built a thousand years ago with the help of the five Dragon Guardians. Something terrible has Zhao set on stealing the magical energy from the dragon flames and Nyx is obviously the key to opening the gates. If Zhao absorbs all that much power to create a huge army of the Quinkan from the Zeo Crystal, this attempt would bring about the end of the world and now it looks like it may actually happen." Dojo explained with dread.
Silence could only be heard in the throne room until…
"WE'RE DOOMED!" Pinkie shouted in worry, startling everypony in the process, as she began to sob. "Oh we are so doomed! No more cupcake baking for mehehehe! We're doomed, ponies! DOOOOOOOMMED!"
"CALM DOWN, PINKIE!" Sunray snapped, shutting Pinkie up. "We just gotta make sure that Nyx won't get hurt."
"Hold on, ya'll! Hold it!" Applejack asked with worry. "Are we actually just gonna surrender to some twisted Quinkan monster so he can start tearing up Equestria?!"
Everypony, minus Chase, his family, and Twilight, began to shout frantically and worriedly.
"Okay, everypony calm-calm-" Chase said trying to calm everypony down, but they were still shouting. Then he couldn't take it anymore. "QUIIIIIEEEEET!"
His royal Canterlot voice stopped the gang as they turned to him in silence while still feeling worried.
Chase took a deep breath and began to speak.
"Look, I know this is hard for us to handle, but we can't give up yet." Chase said with a calm yet firm look on his face. "I'm not going to let this happen when my family and I went to that horrible future timeline where Zhao took over Equestria. Nyx is being restrained by him and we're gonna need all the help we can get."
"But from who though?" Fluttershy asked, scared.
Chase felt hesitant at first before he spotted the journal that he and Twilight kept in touch with Sunset Shimmer.
"I know exactly who's gonna help us save the world. Maybe even four to be precise." Chase said, making Twilight gasp in surprise.
"Wait, honey." Twilight said with worry. "I don't know if we should let Sunset Shimmer into Equestria, I mean, think of what would happen if she and Princess Celestia were to come face to face. She hasn't written us a note since her last adventures from the Friendship Games and the Camp Everfree incident she sent us."
Chase opened the journal to show the latest messages Sunset Shimmer sent to the royal couple.
"Twilight. We don't have a choice." Chase argued with her softly. "We need her and others to help us stop the Quinkan."
Twilight was hesitant to do this before she took a deep breath.
"Alright." Twilight conceded. "And who are the others we need?"
Chase looked at the pictures of the Dragon Lands, the Crystal Empire, and a familiar cave in a jungle. He smiled with determination.
"I know exactly who we're gonna call." Chase said with determination.
(Scene changes)
In the human world, at Canterlot High, Sunset Shimmer and her friends were busy enjoying the sunshine while doing some of their usual busy activities. Sunset is currently writing a letter to Princess Twilight and Prince Chase in her journal while the others are getting their lunch.
From the latest events in the human world, Sunset and her friends were competing in the Friendship Games against a school rival named Crystal Prep Academy. It was when they met Princess Twilight Sparkle's human counterpart who she was studying the last two events of magical attacks from the Fall Formal and the Battle of the Bands.
Human Twilight's principal Cinch was notoriously demanding to win the games and ordered the girl to unleash the magic, which caused her to turn into a demon. She began to open portals to Equestria until Sunset managed to open her heart for friendship. Along with that, Principal Cinch was resigned for pressuring Twilight so much and for making her students cheat against Canterlot High until she left the scene.
After that, they went to Camp Everfree where they saved it from being turned into a hotel spa by Filthy Rich's human counterpart as well as obtaining magical geodes from Gloriosa after she was turned into Gaia Everfree, thus turning the camp into her personal creepy plant dome, thus saving the camp.
Anyway, back to the story.
As Sun writes, she said in her thoughts.
"Dear Princess Twilight and Master Chase,
How are you guys doing? I thought I might let you know that we've been handling everything pretty good except I can't seem to keep my mind on anything other than our new powers, and the rogue magic that's loose in this world, and how scary but exhilarating it all is, especially if they might be Quinkan related, but we haven't seen them in the world at all. Just some rogue magic. How does it work? How can we be prepared for it? When will it show up again? Well, you both see the problem. With the weight of all Equestria on your shoulders, you must have some advice on how to…"
Sunset stops writing to see that she has run out of room on the page. In fact, this is the last page in the journal. Now, she has no more space to write in her book.
"Oh man." Sunset says in frustration.
"What's the matter, Sunset?" Pinkie asks, as she sat next to her
"Oh, I just ran out of pages in my journal. That's all," Sunset answers.
Then she makes a sulk look on her face as Rainbow walks by.
"Chillax, SunShim." Rainbow said cooly
"Um, who's "SunShim"?" Fluttershy asks.
"That's Sunset's nickname," Rainbow says, taking her seat and after taking a sip of her drink. "I just made it up!"
"For sweet apples' sake. We're not ready to have other nicknames." Applejack says, looking annoyed.
"Yet, darling. Yet," Rarity says.
"There's more bothering you than just journal pages, isn't there, Sunset?" Twilight asks, knowing there's something on her friend's mind.
"Um…" Sunset says, worried to speak up.
"C'mon! Share your troubles. It might help soothe your stressed nerves," Pinkie happily says, leaning against then rubbing her cheeks on her face.
Sunset rubs her cheek and tries to not look nervous.
"Uh, I don't wanna take any of the fun out of our big night…" Sunset Shimmer said, not wanting things to get ugly.
"I said spill it, SunShim!" Pinkie shouts, getting to Sunset's face.
"Okay, okay," Sunset says, slowly pushing Pinkie away from her. She then turns to her friends, and explains her troubles, "It's just that things have been calm around here, magic-wise."
"And that's bad how, precisely?" Rarity questions.
"It's not. It's just that instead of enjoying the fact that things are calm, I'm constantly thinking about things going wrong, even when they aren't," Sunset explains, not feeling very calm about it.
"Ooh, like... like what things?" Fluttershy asks, starting to get worried.
"I don't know. I shouldn't even be thinking about any of this stuff right now. And neither should any of you," Sunset answers.
Pinkie notices that Sunset's book is vibrating and picks it up.
"Look! Twilight's writing you back!" Pinkie happily said as she held it up shouting loudly. "Hey, everybody, Sunset's getting an Equestritext!"
Sunset reaches up, and tries to take it from Pinkie. Luckily Sunset is able to take it back from Pinkie and sits down.
"What's it say?" Applejack asks.
Sunset reads the message and becomes surprised and horrified by what she was reading. Then she gasped in horror.
"What? What's wrong?" Human Twilight asked worriedly at Sunset's expression.
"It… It says that Twilight, Chase, and their friends were attacked by Zhao's Quinkan army. The Sanzu River has already risen and is now burning everything insight. And Kai's taken Chase and Twilight's… adopted daughter held captive." Sunset explained before she read the last part of hearing the horrified news of Nyx being kidnapped.
The others became horrified by this. Hearing the message, the girls know it can only be one thing.
"Do you think they need your help for this?" Fluttershy asked worriedly.
Sunset felt nervous about this.
"I don't know if I should." Sunset said with fear in her voice. "I mean if I go back, how will Princess Celestia react when she sees me?"
"Hold on, Sugarcube." Applejack said as she approached her nervous friend. "Twilight and Chase wouldn't have sent you that message if you couldn't reply back. It sounds like they need your help more than ever."
"Applejack has a point, darling." Rarity said, agreeing with Applejack. "Twilight and Chase sound like they need you to stop Zhao quickly."
Sunset felt nervous about this before she took a deep breath and nodded slowly.
"You're right." Sunset said with a smile as she put her bag on her shoulder. "I'll be back in time for us to grab lunch and go see a movie. I'll see you guys soon."
The six girls shared a loving hug for Sunset Shimmer for her journey to Equestria as she walked towards the Wondercolt's statue, which was still missing the horse that is supposed to be on top. Still holding her bag, Sunset looks around to see that not many people are around the campus besides her friends.
She doesn't want too many people seeing the portal. Sunset walks through the portal, and is heading to Equestria. She flies through a vortex of rainbow colors.
(Scene changes)
On the other side of the portal, Princess Twilight and Master Chase are in the library of her castle waiting for Sunset to arrive to help them fight the Quinkan. Twilight was pacing in front of the portal with an anxious look on her face while Chase waited patiently.
Suddenly the portal glows, and Sunset walks outside of it resuming her unicorn form. She tries to walk on her two hoofs.
"Twilight! Chase!" Sunset said happily as she walked to them on her hind legs, but stumbled a bit before she went back on all fours.
"Sunset Shimmer!" Twilight and Chase said joyfully that Sunset came.
The three share a hug after so long they've seen each other. Then they broke it.
"I got your message regarding the Quinkan, guys." Sunset said with concern. "What's happening?"
Twilight and Chase looked at each other with concern.
"Uh, you might wanna look outside the window." Chase said, gesturing to the window behind Sunset Shimmer as she turns to look outside, only to widen her eyes in horror once she saw the town of Ponyville in flames as the sky turned red.
"This is really bad, isn't it?" Sunset asked horrified.
"Yup." Twilight said. "Come on, all of the others are waiting for us in the library."
Sunset nodded as she followed Chase and Twilight from behind, making their way to the library.
(Scene changes)
In the throne room, the rest of the Mane Sixteen, minus Jewel and Santos, were getting ready for the battle to stop the Quinkan. Jewel and Santos were instructed to wait for the other three allies that they had sent messages to. That's when the doors opened as Twilight and Chase entered inside.
"Well, guys. Look who showed up to help us." Chase announced as he and Twilight moved aside to reveal Sunset Shimmer walking inside with a nervous expression.
"Uh, hi, everypony." Sunset said nervously since she was seeing the pony versions of her friends at Canterlot High.
"So it's you again." Rainbow said with a glare, still remembering the time Sunset still Twilight's crown in the Crystal Empire a while back.
"Easy, Rainbow." Jade said sternly to the blue pegasus. "If Twilight and Chase said that Sunset has reformed, then we are treating her as our friend. Not the enemy."
"I know, but seeing her again still has some doubts." Rainbow said, not really convinced.
"Look, guys. I know that when I came to the Crystal Empire, I stole Twilight's crown all because I was an evil mare that wanted revenge on Princess Celestia." Sunset said feeling guilty as Twilight and Chase stood by her side with comforting looks on their faces for the new arrival. "But I just want you to know that I've already changes since Twilight and Chase helped me see the light. I just want to see if I can ask you guys for your forgiveness."
The others felt hesitant until Applejack made her decision as she approached Sunset, who became nervous.
"Well, if Twilight and Chase say you've changed, then I guess yer alright with me." Applejack finally said with a friendly smile.
"Me too! I always want to make new friends!" Pinkie Pie said excitedly as she hugged Sunset tightly, making her wince in pain.
Pinkie released her as Rarity, Spike, Fluttershy, Rainbow, Clay, Sokka, Jade, Sunray, Trini, and Antonio approached them with smiles on their faces, even if Rainbow was a little skeptical for Sunset first.
"Yes, darling." Rarity said with a genuine smile. "If you've truly redeemed yourself, then I want to be your friend as well."
"We all do." Fluttershy added with a soft smile on her face.
"Eeyup." Clay said in agreement.
"Well, just for Twilight and Chase's sake, I'll give you a chance." Rainbow said with a smile.
"We don't hold grudges against each other that long." Sunray added as Trini and Antonio nodded in agreement.
Starlight approached with Dojo on her back.
"So you're Sunset Shimmer Twilight and Chase told us about." Starlight said with a smile on her face. "I'm Starlight Glimmer."
"Yeah, they've mentioned you." Sunset said, smiling. "So you're their pupil?"
"Yup." Starlight said as she felt sympathy for Sunset. "I know how you feel about being evil. I had that since I was on Zhao's side when my old friend Sunburst got his cutie mark and I didn't get mine either." Then she smiled. "But they've managed to help me see the light and I've turned over a new leaf."
"Me too." Dojo said as he climbed on Starlight's head. "I've been under Zhao's powers for a very long time until Chase and his Elite Ninja helped change me back to my original form."
Spike walked up to Sunset Shimmer.
"We've already forgiven you, Sunset." Spike said with a smile.
Sunset smiled at them and all of her new friends that have forgiven her for her past actions.
"By the way, if you're going into battle, you might wanna see if you could use your magic since it returned to you. Let's see if it has." Chase said as he held an apple in his right wing.
Sunset felt hesitant before she took a deep breath.
"Okay." Sunset said nervously. "Been awhile since I was a unicorn."
As Chase held the apple in his wing, Sunset then tried using her magic and with success, her horn managed to glow red before she held the apple with her magic. The others were smiling excitedly at the sight as Chase smirked proudly and Sunset stopped using her magic.
That's when Santos and Jewel came into the throne room.
"Mom, Dad." Chase said as his father and mother came up to the group. "Have our friends come in?"
Santos and Jewel smiled.
"Yup, they've just arrived." Santos said as they moved out of the way to reveal their dragon turned Wingquin friend Grazer, Dragon Lord Ember, and Thorax the friendly changeling came in.
"Thorax!" Sunray said happily.
"Ember!" Jade exclaimed in joy.
"Grazer!" Antonio said excitedly.
"Hey, guys." Ember greeted her friends with a smile. "Did we come in at a bad time?"
"Not at all." Spike said as he ran up and gave Ember a hug, making her blush a bit as she hugged him back in return.
"So is it true? That Zhao's taken Nyx held captive?" Thorax asked with concern.
"Has it really happened?" Grazer asked as well with a worried look on his face.
"Yeah. He's taken her to Manehatten to find the Zeo Crystal." Chase confirmed with a determined look on his face. "And we need your help to get past his army so that we can prevent him from reaching the Temple of The Ninja Tribunal."
"Lucky for you guys, we've got your back." Ember assured her allies with a smile.
"And we will not let Zhao destroy the world if he begins the Age of Ragnarok." Grazer added with determination.
"And good thing they won't be doing this alone." A voice came from behind the group, making them turn to see Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadance, and Shining Armor walking into the throne room.
"Princesses? Cadance? Shining Armor?" Chase said in surprise. "What are you doing here?"
"We've heard of the attack in Ponyville and that Zhao has taken Nyx to Manehatten." Celestia explained. "We've come to aid you and your group, Chase."
"And we were not going to just sit at home to let you handle all of the fun." Luna said with a smirk.
Cadance and Shining Armor approached Chase with brave smiles on their faces.
"We'll be right beside you every step of the way, Chase." Cadance assured her brother-in-law.
"But what about Flurry Heart?" Chase asked with concern.
"Don't worry, we've left her with Sunburst so he can look after her." Shining Armor answered.
Chase, Twilight, and the rest of the group smiled in appreciation to the four. It was then that Celestia saw Sunset Shimmer as she was nervously bowing her head in shame of the Princess of the Sun.
"Sunset Shimmer." Princess Celestia acknowledged with a firm look as she stood tall.
The group made space as Sunset approached her former mentor.
"Princess Celestia." Sunset spoke as she looked down in shame. "I know I didn't leave you on good terms, and I wasn't the most well-behaved student. And to top it all off I just ran from you the last time I was temporarily here. But I just had to come back and see you. Especially since Twilight and Chase messaged me. I had to let you know I am so sorry for all I've said and done to you, Chase, and Twilight. I just hope one day you can forgive me."
Sunset was suddenly taken aback, as she found herself being embraced by the Princess of the Sun who was shedding tears of happiness.
"I already have." She answered.
"You have?" Sunset asked in confusion.
"Twilight and Chase told me all the good you've done for the students of Canterlot High, as well as the doppelgangers of her friends there," Celestia began, "You even showed Twilight's own counterpart how strong friendship can really be. And to have helped them save their entire world from destruction, you've proven you truly have become better than you were before. I am very proud of you."
Sunset smiled with tears in her eyes.
"I missed you so much, Princess." Sunset said softly while hugging Celestia in return.
"And I've missed you too." Celestia held her close.
The group smiled at such a touching moment, while Antonio, Dojo, and Pinkie were bawling up a storm.
"Alright, you guys." Sokka said to the three with an amusing smile on his face. "That's enough."
"Okay, let's get started. We asked you all here because everything going in Equestria, the fire, the sky turning red, the Sanzu River almost rising, it's all done by Zhao and his Quinkan army." Chase said, addressing everypony and creature in the throne room. "He has his plan on getting the powers from the five Dragon Guardians from the Zeo Crystal in the Temple of The Ninja Tribunal hidden deep at the bottom of the lake in Manehattan. And whether we like it or not, we have to get in there to stop the Quinkan from rising the Sanzu River."
"I don't know if I can take on an army that big." Thorax was the first to speak with a nervous look. "I'm not that much into violence. Zhao's army being stronger sounds more terrifying than ever."
"Well, it doesn't look like we have much of a choice." Chase said with a firm look. "It's gonna require all of us to get past Draco and his Blue Dragon gang before we take on Zhao's Quinkan soldiers."
"So, what's your plan, Chase?" Ember asked with a curious look.
"Zhao has Nyx in his grasp so he'll likely use her as the key to open the gates. Therefore we have to get her out of his claws before he can harness my daughter's power to do that." Chase instructed.
"So we'll get past the Blue Dragons then attack Zhao himself." Sunray added with a smirk.
"It's not going to be pretty. All of the armies will be tougher than we ever thought." Twilight added with caution in her voice. "Which is why we need to stop them from attacking the world."
"Twilight is right." Santos agreed with his daughter-in-law with a firm look. "You must all be prepared for the very worst. We face Zhao, the greatest evil monster to ever walk Equestria. This will be the fight of our lives."
Everyone nodded in agreement, ready to fight for Equestria.
(Scene changes)
We cut to the scene of Manehattan at the docks as Electroquins were there, using their powers on four Dragonquins, charging them with all their might.
The Dragonquins roared as they felt the magical electricity going through them. Kai was also with them observing the scene with an evil smirk on his face.
It was then that Zhao was walking up to him with two Uberquin soldiers dragging Nyx as she was still in chains.
"Have the Electroquins transferred all the stolen magic we've collected into the Dragonquins?" Zhao asked Kai with a firm look as he stood next to Kai.
"They are just finishing up the final touches so they can raise the temple, Master Zhao." Kai informed his master.
Zhao smirked sinisterly.
"We have kept our plan well hidden from Chase Young for nearly several months." Zhao said with a calm yet devious tone in his voice. "The waiting is over. The opportunity to equalize our Quinkan forces to go toe to toe with the mighty Elite Ninja is at hand. Nothing must interfere."
"And we will do everything in our power to insure that it does not?" Kai asked his mentor calmly.
"Of course you will." Zhao answered evilly.
"Wait 'til I get outta here, I'm gonna kick every tail on your-" Nyx was about to finish when Kai beat her to it.
"Weak threats won't do you any good, Nyx." Kai said sinisterly with an evil smile. "Especially for a puny alicorn filly like you."
Nyx glared at the anthropomorphic yak angrily.
"Besides, once all of the five powers from the Dragon Guardians are in my possession, this world will be nothing more than a mere memory." Zhao said sinisterly as the Electroquin finished up transferring the magical energy into the Dragonquins.
"And just in time." Kai said as the Dragonquins roared as they sparked up with dangerous orange magical energy around them as the surges danced around them. "It is done."
Kai whipped his two kyoketsu-shoge and cracked the whip at the four Dragonquins, making them fly in the air before they hovered just a few feet away from the docks above the water.
Then all at once, the four beasts opened their mouths to fire at the water with powerful magical orange energy beams, striking the water as bubbles began to form in the center.
Zhao smirked sinisterly as Kai grinned wickedly at the sight. Nyx was staring in shock and awe of what she was seeing.
Then all of a sudden, as the Dragonquins continued to fire at the water, something big was coming out of the water, indicating that they were actually using the beams to get something large.
Suddenly, rising out of the water was a very big temple with a dragon serpent statue on the doorway. Infact, there were several other dragon statues mounted around the temple.
"Perfect." Zhao said sinisterly to Kai as he grabbed Nyx by the chains, causing her to gasp in fright. "This one is coming with me and the rest of the army. Take the rest of our soldiers with you so Chase and Twilight won't get in my way."
Kai bowed in reply as he smirked evilly at Nyx, who glared at him, and went to find Draco with the Electroquins following from behind. Then some of the Quinkan soldiers arrived as Zhao took Nyx with him as the rest of the Quinkan soldiers followed behind their master.
Zhao made a huge leap over the water while he still held Nyx in the chains and landed on the stone stairs that go to the doorway. The Quinkan soldiers had jumped off the docks and landed behind their master. Zhao and his army walked up the staircase and up to the huge stone doors leading inside.
"Now, Nyx. Open the doorway." Zhao said with a sinister smile as he took Nyx out of the chains and held her by the wings, making her grunt in pain.
"I won't do it!" Nyx denied with an angry look on her face.
"If you will not do it for yourself, perhaps you will for your precious family you love so much." Zhao said with an evil smile on his face as he held a firm grip on her and used his magic to electrocute her.
Nyx screamed in pain as she felt the dangerous magical energy from Zhao harming her as the Quinkan leader smirked in amusement. Once Zhao stopped using his magic on Nyx, the alicorn filly glared at him and regretfully lit her horn, using her magic to fire a beam at the stone doors.
Then Nyx began to open them with full force as she shut her eyes with regret with tears streaming down her eyes. Once the doors were fully opened, the temple revealed the inside part with stone stairs in the foreground.
Zhao smirked evilly.
"It is time." Zhao said sinisterly as he continued to hold Nyx in his grasp while walking inside the temple with his Quinkan soldiers following him.
(Scene changes)
Meanwhile, high in the sky, Chase, Twilight, Rainbow, Cadance, Celestia, Luna, Grazer, Dojo, Sokka, and Ember were flying in the air, flying to Manehattan to stop the Quinkan. Rarity, Fluttershy, Applejack, Clay, Shining Armor, Thorax, Spike, and Pinkie were riding on Dojo.
Chase and Twilight were full of determination to get Nyx back from harm.
"Anything, Dojo?" Applejack asked while hanging onto the Dragon Guardian.
"Zip. Notta. Fungus." Dojo replied back while glaring in the direction they were focused on.
"Well, please hurry! If Zhao gets the dragon flames from the Zeo Crystal, life as we know it will no longer exist!" Sokka said with worry.
This immediately made Dojo stop for a moment while hovering in mid air as the others who were flying with him stopped as well.
"Sokka, you shouldn't have done that." Sunset advised sternly.
"I get it!" Dojo snapped with an annoyed look, turning his head to the passengers on his back. "It's important! I'm doing my best! The additional pressure? I DO NOT NEED!"
The others were left stunned for a moment before they glared at Sokka annoyingly.
"Sorry." Sokka meekly said with a nervous smile.
"We all know you're doing your best, Dojo." Starlight said gently. "But we have to find Nyx before she gets herself hurt by the Quinkan."
"Ah, forget it, Starlight." Dojo said solemnly as he focused ahead to the direction in Manehattan. "It's just that alicorn magic or Quinkan energy are easy to track. But an alicorn filly's? I don't know if-"
Suddenly Dojo was cut off when he sniffed something. He widened his eyes in surprise.
"Wait, hold on." Dojo said as he continued to sniff around for something. "I got something!"
This got everyone's attention on him as Chase and Twilight had their attention on Dojo with anxious looks.
"Is it Nyx?" Twilight asked with worry.
"I… I think so… just let me…" Dojo said as he continued to sniff around the air before his eyes widened in surprise and he smiled. "Bingo! It's coming from the docks!"
"Alright, what are we waiting for?! Let's follow that magic scent!" Rainbow said with a determined smirk.
"Hold on tight!" Dojo said as he began to lead the way as his passengers held on to him while the rest flew behind the Dragon Guardian.
It wasn't long before they hovered above the city and when Dojo spotted something inn the distance, his eyes widened in shock.
"Something wrong, Dojo?" Clay asked with concern.
"More than you think, Clay." Dojo said nervously while quivering.
"Is it really that bad?" Twilight asked, concerned as the others had the same worried look on their faces.
"You know how bad things are now?" Dojo asked horrified.
"Yeah." Shining Armor replied back, not liking this with a nervous expression on his face.
"Have the Quinkan tracked the temple?" Cadance asked with a worried look.
"You ain't seen nothing yet!" Dojo replied back as he pointed in the direction of the Temple of The Ninja Tribunal. "The Temple of The Ninja Tribunal has already been risen! That can only mean one thing!"
"Oh, this is just great!" Chase said in exasperation.
"Then we must hurry before Zhao gets the Zeo Crystal." Princess Celestia said with a determined look on her face.
"Agreed." Princess Luna agreed with a determined look on her face as well. "There's no telling if he's already got to it."
That's when Pinkie felt her body vibrate, gaining everyone's attention to her.
"What's the matter, Pinkie?" Sunray asked with concern.
"My P-p-p-p-pinkie sense is going-ing-ing-ing off!" Pinkie said with a nervous look on her face.
That's when Ember smelled something in the air.
"Wait! I think she's right!" Ember said with concern. "A Dragonquin is right on top of us!"
As if that was heard, a Dragonquin flew out of some clouds from underneath the group with a loud roar as they screamed in surprise.
Soon they recovered as the Dragonquin hovered a few feet above them with a snarl as the others gazed at it in horror.
The Dragonquin roared as it fired a beam at the group, but they managed to move out of the way to the docks as the beast chased after them.
On the ground level right by the warehouse, Draco, his Blue Dragon gang, and half of the Quinkan army were waiting for them.
"We've got them." Draco said with a wicked smile on his face as he turned to ten Electroquin charged up with electricity sparking around them. "Take them down."
The Electroquins growled as they fired magical electric beams at the heroes, making them gasp in surprise.
"Scatter!" Chase shouted as the group dodged the beams.
Chase and Twilight landed on the ground on all fours. Trini, Antonio, Sunray, and Jade slid off of Dojo as they too landed on the ground on all fours. The six glared at the army of villains before they lit their horns, stood on their hind legs, their aura hands appeared on their front hooves, dished out their weapons, and held them in a fighting stance.
Sokka and Clay joined them as they dished out their respective weapons. Soon the rest of the group joined them as they too glared at the army.
Then they all charged at each other as Sunray and Clay whacked two of the Protoquin away with their weapons. Sunset shielded herself from a blow from one of Blue Dragons with a magic shield coming from behind her and then blasted him right in the face and sent him right into the ground. Chase and Jade stood back to back as they whacked a couple of the Blue Dragons away after blocking strikes.
Twilight put her tanto blade away just as two of the Pyroquins charged at her from the front and back and she jumped in the air and did a perfect split kick. She smiled.
"Hey, guys! I got a perfect split kick!" Twilight called to her husband and sister-in-law.
"I missed it!" Chase said as he punched away another Blue Dragon. "Let me see it again!"
Twilight did another split kick on another two Blue Dragons. Starlight blasted away another Blue Dragon.
"One more time, Twilight. I didn't get a chance to see it" Starlight said with a smirk. Twilight did it again to another two Blue Dragons and Starlight called out, "That was awesome!"
"Took the words right outta my mouth!" Rainbow agreed with an exciting smile.
"Nice job, Twily!" Shining Armor added with a smile as Twilight returned it before they and the others continued the battle against the Blue Dragons and the Quinkan.
(Scene changes)
Inside the Temple of The Ninja Tribunal, Zhao was leading the other half of his army into a really big chamber as he held Nyx captive still.
Once they made it into the chamber, they noticed a really big pedestal in the background. On it was the Zeo Crystal giving off a rainbow color.
Zhao smirked sinisterly as he walked forward to the gem with his army following behind.
"Keep this young one here." Zhao instructed as he dropped Nyx to the ground, making her grunt in pain and two Pyroquin soldiers restrained her from escaping.
"Let me go!" Nyx shouted as she struggled to break free and glared at Zhao. "You'll never get away with this, Zhao! This is low, even for you! I've never seen you look this evil, horrifying, and insane!"
This made Zhao chuckled amusingly as he turned to her with a wicked smile on his face.
"Oh, believe me, Nyx. This is only just the beginning." Zhao said as he turned to the Zeo Crystal and walked in front of the magical gem. "Now that the Zeo Crystal is all mine, I will enslave every living creature and plunge the world into eternal darkness! Evil can be most rewarding."
He places his right hand on the gem and infuses his powers with it. Suddenly, the crystal began to glow orange as it sparked dangerously. Zhao smirked evilly with his sharp teeth showing his insane side.
"At last!" Zhao said as the crystal began to hum loudly. "The prophecy has been realized!"
Then the crystal shot an orange magical beam into the air, striking the stone ceiling in the process.
(Scene changes)
The battle was still going on outside of the warehouse as Chase blocked a punch from Draco before he kicked the Blue Dragon leader to the ground.
Suddenly, he and the others heard humming coming from the temple when all of a sudden the orange magic beam struck the air as it hit the clouds.
The clouds began to swirl before they shot lighting bolts and increased their circling, creating a typhoon in the process as well as turning the sky completely orange.
All of the ponies in Manehattan are seeing this as they stare in awe of the Temple of The Ninja Tribunal and the sky becoming orange in the process. Then lightning bolts struck a few buildings, causing the civilians to scream in horror and began to run amok.
"What's going on?!" Shining Armor asked as he shielded himself from the wind as the others did the same.
"The end of the world!" Dojo replied back as lightning continued to flash brightly. "A thousand years of darkness!"
"Zhao must've found the Zeo Crystal!" Starlight said as she blocked the brightness from the lightning.
"Nyx is in there!" Trini shouted with worry for the alicorn filly.
"We gotta get her outta there!" Chase said with a determined look.
"Then go, Chase and Twilight!" Celestia said to Chase and Twilight as the alicorn couple turned to her. "Find Nyx and stop Zhao! Immediately! We will continue the battle against his army!"
"But what about you guys?!" Twilight said with worry.
"Don't worry, we'll take care of this!" Shining Armor assured his sister as he and Cadance fired some magical beams at five Electroquin soldiers.
"But you guys can't handle this on your own!" Spike said with worry.
"Then it is a good thing they are not alone!" A voice came from behind the group, making them turn to see Pakku, Bumi, and Iroh at the scene with the rest of the White Lotus clan behind them armed with weapons of different kinds.
"Pakku! Bumi! Iroh!" Chase shouted in joy as the others felt relieved to see their allies came to their aid.
"We heard you might need some assistance." Bumi said with a smirk.
"Good, cause we could use all the help we can get." Ember said with relief.
"Go, Chase!" Luna said to Chase as he turned to her. "Rescue your daughter! Save the world!"
Jewel and Santos nodded in agreement.
"Go, son!" Santos to his son. "Find your daughter! We'll help them stop the Blue Dragons."
Chase nodded before he turned to the rest of the Mane Sixteen.
"Let's go, guys!" Chase said as he went to the Temple of The Ninja Tribunal with the others following him from behind.
(Scene changes)
Inside the temple, Zhao watched what had transpired to him for achieving his goal as he smirked evilly.
"Finally. After all these years, this world will be mine!" Zhao said as he laughed sinisterly.
Nyx glared at him hatefully.
Then the Quinkan leader approached her as his Pyroquin soldiers continued to restrain her.
"You have been most useful to me, Nyx." Zhao said sinisterly as he lowered his gaze to the alicorn filly's level. "Perhaps I should let you live after all. You'd make a fine slave."
"Never!" Nyx shouted in anger. "My family will come for me and kick your butt!"
"We will just see about that." Zhao said as he stood to full size. "This world now belongs to the Quinkan now! Witness the end of your kind once and for all!"
"Not if we can help it, your royal nutcase!" Chase's voice shouted from behind Zhao's Quinkan army, making them and Nyx turned to see the rest of the Mane Sixteen at the entrance of the chamber with a glare they sent to the evil monsters.
"You!" Zhao shouted angrily.
"Aha!" Dojo said mockingly. "Bet ya didn't see that one coming, Zhao!"
"You are all too late." Zhao responded back with a sneer as he pointed at the Zeo Crystal continuing to fire the orange magical beam into the sky. "The Zeo Crystal is already mine!"
Chase glared at him before he turned his attention to Nyx as she took notice of her father.
"Daddy!" Nyx cried out.
"Nyx!" Twilight and Chase shouted to their daughter with relief yet concern.
"Give her back to us, Zhao!" Jade shouted angrily. "Or else are gonna get ugly!"
Zhao only smirked sinisterly.
"Do you honestly think I am going to give her up?" Zhao asked mockingly as he smiled evilly. "Nyx has already been of use to me and she still will."
Then he extended his long blades from his left gauntlet.
"This victory is mine at last!" Zhao declared before he pointed his left claws at the heroes. "DESTROY THEM! LEAVE NO ONE ALIVE!"
The Quinkan soldiers charged at the Mane Sixteen and they quickly found themselves in a fight for their lives.
Sunray jumps to the upper level and uses his bō to knock down any Protoquin who follows him. An Uberquin bashes the support pillar underneath him and Sunray leaps into the air, landing on the ground as the pillar is reduced to rubble. The Uberquin then grabs a huge chunk of the pillar and takes aim at the unicorn stallion before it tosses the chunk at Sunray. Sunray jumps out of the way and lands near Jade.
Some Pyroquin soldiers charged at Pinkie, who fired her confetti cannon at the monsters as they were blind from the confetti. Taking this chance, Rainbow came flying in at full speed and began to circle around the Pryoquins, blinding them more with her speed.
Once she was done, Sokka and Clay came in and kicked the Pyroquins to the ground. Fluttershy, facing her fear, and Spike were facing four Protoquins as they charged at them when the monsters were caught in blue, red, and purple aura.
Twilight, Sunset, and Starlight were using their magic to capture the four Quinkan soldiers before they blasted them to the pillars as the monsters roared in pain.
Rarity then used her magic to blast two Electroquins aside while not noticing three Uberquin soldiers closing in on her. That's when Antonio kicks the first two in the chests and he kicks the other in the face, sending them to the ground.
Nyx was still being restrained by the two Pyroquin soldiers until Chase and Twilight came to her aid, knocking the monsters away with flying kicks.
"Mommy! Daddy!" Nyx shouted in joy as her parents came to her and they shared a loving hug with their daughter.
"Oh, my baby!" Twilight said with a relieved smile as tears streamed down her eyes. "We were so worried about you."
"Thank goodness you're alright." Chase added with relief until Zhao stepped in and swatted the three alicorns aside, making them grunt in pain.
They quickly recovered as they faced Zhao as the Quinkan leader walked in front of them with an evil glare.
"You've been more than a minor annoyance for the last time, Chase Young!" Zhao said as the three alicorns glared at him. "This world will belong to me when I have you pathetic ponies out of my way!"
"It's you who is the pathetic one, Zhao!" Chase shouted angrily, lighting his horn, standing on his hind legs, aura hands appeared on his front hooves, dished out his katana swords and held them in a fighting stance.
Zhao charged at Chase as he did the same and they clashed blades with each other for a bit. Then the Quinkan leader tried to swat Chase aside, but the alicorn stallion jumped backflips out of the way.
They both attacked with their respective blades at such speed it almost seemed like blurs. Neither was giving an inch, as the two seemed evenly matched. Chase and Zhao clashed their swords multiple times, Chase gave a kick to knock Zhao back before coming up from the side and trying to strike the Quinkan leader across the face.
Zhao ducked and used Chase's momentum to vault the alicorn master over his own body and send him rolling across the ground. Chase quickly recovered and thrusted forward again with his katanas, which Zhao snapped off with a quick swipe of his claws. Zhao then made multiple strikes with his claws, making Chase use his agility to avoid every slash and strike that was near him.
Then all of a sudden Zhao grazed Chase by the shoulder, making him shout in pain and got kicked in the chest by the Quinkan leader that sent him to the ground. Zhao approached him as he grabbed Chase by the chest with his left hand, lifting him up in mid air.
"Your life ends now, Master Chase Young!" Zhao declared as he extended two long blades from his right gauntlet. "This will be the very last time you stand in my way!"
The others saw this as they became shocked and horrified.
"NO!" Sunray shouted in fear by what he is seeing.
"CHASE!" The group shouted as Jade, Sunray, Trini, and Antonio came to the alicorn stallion's aid.
Antonio and Trini race towards Zhao, who spins around and hits them, sending Chase to the ground in the process. Jade and Sunray runs at Zhao, kicking him to the ground.
"Chase!" Twilight shouted in fear and worry for husband as she and the rest of her friends immediately came to Chase's side.
Chase got up slowly as he turns to the group.
"I'm okay." Chase assured the group before he glared at Zhao, who got back up on his feet glaring at the group of ponies and Spike.
"Twilight, you take the others and Nyx with you. We'll all meet outside with the rest of our allies soon enough! Got it?" Sunray instructed.
"But what about you guys?" Twilight asked with concern as Nyx rode on her mother's back.
"We still gotta take care of the Zeo Crystal." Chase said as he turned to his wife. "Don't worry, honey. We'll be back. Just get Nyx and the others to safety."
Twilight felt hesitant at the moment before she nodded in agreement.
"Come on, guys." Twilight ordered the group, who complied as the rest of the Mane Sixteen, Dojo, and Spike ran out of the chamber to the exit of the Temple of The Ninja Tribunal.
Chase, Jade, Sunray, Trini, and Antonio were the only ones left standing in the chamber as they glared at Zhao.
"Pitty that your friends have left you and your family, Chase." Zhao mocked sinisterly.
"You're forgetting I have my family by my side, Zhao!" Chase retorted as he and his family got into a fighting stance of their own.
Then they charged at Zhao and tried to fight him, but he dodged everyone of their attacks before he knocked the five down, making the grunt in pain.
Soon Zhao approached the Zeo Crystal before he unleashed his long blades with both of his gauntlets and sliced the gem, destroying it in the process as the orange magic beam stopped. But the sky was still orange as lightning continued to strike the air as well as a few buildings outside. Some of the pieces fell down around Chase and his family as Zhao took two pieces in his hands as he smiled wickedly.
All of a sudden, he began to absorb all of his powers and some of the magical energy from Zeo Crystal into him. Once he stopped absorbing the magic into him, he felt all of the magical energy flow through him as he smiled evilly.
"Finally, the power of the Zeo Crystal is finally mine!" Zhao said sinisterly as he turned to face his five enemies. "This is the end of the line for you pathetic ponies! Now you will taste the true power of the Quinkan! Farewell!"
Zhao blasts a powerful orange magical beam at the five as they brace themselves for this could be their end. But when the magic blast reached them… something blocked the blast as a rainbow shield surrounded the five ponies, making them see it in awe. Zhao and his Quinkan army were stunned by this.
"What?! What trickery is this?!" Zhao demanded angrily.
The rainbow energy shield then dissolves as it swirls around a bit before it engulfed the five ponies as they gasp in awe. A bright light shined around them and when it died down, it revealed that they were now enhanced by magical chi
Sunray was surrounded by a bright red aura with red glowing flame markings along his side and a trio of claw marks on the top of his head.
Antonio was surrounded by a bright yellow aura with yellow earth markings along with two claw marks on his right eye.
Jade was surrounded by a bright purple aura with purple water markings and two claw marks on both her cheeks.
Trini was surrounded by a bright blue aura with blue wind markings and a single claw mark line on her head.
Finally, Chase was surrounded by a bright black aura with black lightning markings and a claw mark going down in a diagonal line on his head to his chin.
The five ponies gazed at their forms in awe.
"Whoa!" Chase said in amazement. "I've never felt anything like this!"
"Wow!" Trini said in excitement. "This is great!"
"Alright!" Jade said with a smirk.
"Cool!" Sunray said with a grin.
"This is awesome!" Antonio shouted in excitement as well.
"Wow! This is incredible!" Chase said, smirking at himself.
Then they smirked at the Quinkan and Zhao as they glared at the five ponies.
"So you have the power of the Five Dragons as well." Zhao said with a glare. "But it won't be enough to save you."
Suddenly, Chase and his team felt something touch their aura hands as they looked down to see that they each had a shining light in their palms. Once it cleared away, the five ponies had new weapons in their hands.
First, Jade had a navy-purple bow and arrows.
Second was Antonio, who now wielded a yellow three-section-staff.
Third was Sunray as he held a kusarigama-weapon, with a scythe blade on each end of a connecting chain.
Next was Trini as she held a blue spear-like weapon.
Finally, Chase held a black a long katana in his hands with a white blade.
"Awesome weapons!" Antonio said with excitement.
Zhao glared at them angrily.
"Enough of this!" Zhao shouted as he pointed at the five ponies. "Destroy them!"
The Quinkan army charged at the five ponies, who got into fighting stances. Two Protoquin soldiers charged at Chase, but with his confidence in him, he kicked the first one to the ground and sent a powerful punch to the other.
Trini was facing off against five Pyroquins as they charged at her, but she leapt into the air and twirls, flattening them with her weapon. She lands on the ground with a smirk.
"Now this is so cool!" Trini said.
Standing on top of some rubble, Sunray's body lights up as he faces several Uberquin soldiers.
"It's tail kicking time!" Sunray shouted as his body spins like a buzzsaw as he rolls over the water, cutting down the Uberquin soldiers in his path.
Antonio and Jade were fighting off Electroquin monsters, and then they power up before leaping high. Jade fires several bows at the Electroquins as they dodge them until Antonio whips his weapon around, smacking the monsters in the process as they fell to the ground.
Finally, Chase was facing off against ten of the last Quinkan soldiers in the army as they charged at him. Then his body lights up and used his long katana to send a power wave of lightning at them, knocking them to the ground.
Soon the Quinkan army was down as the five ponies turned to face Zhao, who glared at them angrily.
"Alright, guys! Let's see what these weapons can do!" Chase shouted as they engaged their powers and he fired his katana directly at Zhao, striking him full on. "Center yourselves!"
The five ponies aimed and fired their weapons at Zhao. At first it seemed like it pushed him back, but it didn't work as he smirked evilly.
"It's not working!" Jade shouted as the five ponies continued to fire at the Quinkan leader.
They ceased their powers as Zhao jumped to the ground level as he smirked evilly and insanely.
"Whoa! What a hot head!" Chase said as he and the rest of his family stood their ground.
"What's the plan, Chase?" Sunray asked while glaring at Zhao with the rest of their family as they held their weapons in fighting stances. "That barely fazed him!"
"We gotta lure Zhao outside and use our powers to summon the five Dragons!" Chase replied.
"Alright! I was hoping you'd say that!" Antonio shouted in excitement.
"Let's give him our best shot!" Chase shouted as they charged at Zhao.
Chase was the first to strike with his long katana at Zhao, but the Quinkan leader blocked with ease and swatted the alicorn stallion aside, making him grunt in pain. Jade came in next, only to get punched aside by Zhao as she shouted in pain. Then Zhao kicked Trini to the ground as she grunted in pain. Antonio came in and tried to attack Zhao, only to get knocked back with a powerful back slap. Sunray came in to help his family, but Zhao swatted him to the ground as the unicorn stallion grunted in pain.
Chase, Jade, Antonio, and Trini regrouped as Sunray held his aching right shoulder in pain as he was at the mercy of Zhao.
"Sunray, get up!" Chase shouted as Zhao extended two long blades from his left gauntlet, ready to finish Sunray off.
"Oh man, I can't move!" Sunray cried out while clutching his right shoulder in pain.
"Come on, you can do it!" Chase encouraged his younger brother.
"Hey, your army's getting up!" Sunray taunted Zhao weekly, making the Quinkan leader see his army rising up. Then Sunray fired his weapon at Zhao, making him grunt in pain as Sunray joined his family. "Made you look!"
Zhao immediately got up on his feet as he glared at the five ponies.
"I've had enough of this!" Zhao said sternly. "Let the Age of Ragnarok begin!"
Then he began to glow brightly as the temple began to shake, indicating it was about to collapse.
"Everypony, out the way we came!" Chase shouted before he turned to Sunray. "Sunray, can you make it?"
"Yeah!" Sunray confirmed his older brother.
"Okay, let's go! Move it!" Chase shouted as he led the way out with Jade, Sunray, Trini, and Antonio following behind him.
(Scene changes)
The battle at the warehouse continued as Shining Armor, Cadence, Celestia and Luna fired magic beams at five Uberquin monsters. Santos, Jewel, Pakku and the rest of the White Lotus clan continued to fight using their martial arts against the Blue Dragons and the remaining Quinkan army.
Eventually, the villains were knocked down as Twilight, Nyx, and the rest of their friends came to them.
"Twilight!" Cadance shouted with relief as she and Shining Armor hugged Twilight and Nyx with all their might.
"Where's Chase and his team?" Shining Armor asked with concern for the safety of his brother-in-law.
"They're still inside the temple fighting Zhao." Twilight explained frantically.
Then they heard a loud rumble coming from the Temple of The Ninja Tribunal as the heroes arrived at the docks to see it crumbling.
"The temple is coming down!" Dojo said in shock.
"Chase and his family are still in there!" Starlight said with worry.
When she said that, Chase and his family came out into the open, jumping away from the temple. They landed in front of their family and friends as they cheered happily for them alive.
"Chase!" Twilight said happily as she hugged her husband tightly. "You're okay! And…" She was then trailed off when she and the rest of the gang gazed at the new weapons the Elite Ninja were holding. "Whoa, what's with the new weapons?"
"Long story. Right now, we got bigger problems to worry about." Chase responded back as a loud roar was heard and the stone doors exploded with debris flying in the air, causing the heroes to move out of the way.
Then coming out was Zhao in his Dragonquin form as he roared loudly, flew into the air, and landed on the warehouse as he continued to roar viciously.
"Oh no! Zhao has absorbed the power of the five Dragon Guardians! Has he?!" Dojo said with worry.
"Yeah, but so have we!" Jade responded back. "We got a plan to take him down!"
"You guys stay here, this requires five of us to take him down!" Chase instructed as he and his team stood next to him.
"Good luck, honey." Twilight said with concern as they others shared the same look on their faces.
"We will." Chase assured the others as he and his team charged at Zhao. "Head for the warehouse!"
"Got it!" Jade said.
"Right behind you!" Trini added.
"Copy that!" Sunray replied back.
"Yahoo!" Antonio said in excitement.
Zhao roared loudly as he fired a beam of magic in the air before he ceased it as Chase and his family stopped in the center, glaring at the monster.
"Let's see what these babies got!" Chase said as he began to focus all his energy. "Are you guys ready?"
"Ready!" Jade, Sunray, Antonio, and Trini replied back as the five ponies began to concentrate with all their powers as unleashed their powers in the air.
Then all at once, Chase, Jade, and Sunray's Dragons from the dreamworld came out as did their older cousins.
Trini's dragon was pale blue with no legs or wings, a single tail, and a bright blue sash on its waist.
Antonio's dragon was pale yellow with scales and white wings.
The five ponies jumped onto their dragons respectively as the five beasts growled and snarled at Zhao's dragon form, who roared back at them as if accepting the challenge they were giving him. He came down on the ground with a growl.
"READY!" Sunray, Jade, Trini, and Antonio shouted at once.
"Let's take care of business!" Chase shouted as they held onto their respective dragons and they charged at Zhao with roars.
"Let's get 'em!" Antonio shouted while hanging onto his dragon.
Zhao roared loudly as Jade and Trini came in at the Dragonquin monster to attack him, but Zhao punched Trini's dragon aside followed by punching Jade's dragon to the ground.
Then Chase, Sunray, and Antonio charged at Zhao as Sunray's dragon punched Zhao in the face, followed by Antonio's dragon tail whipping the evil beast in the chest, and Chase's dragon kicking the villain in the chest as Zhao roared in pain before he quickly recovered.
"Come on, guys!" Rainbow shouted to cheer on the heroes as they continued to face Zhao. "Take 'em down!"
"Get him, honey!" Twilight shouted for her husband to end this.
"Show him who's boss!" Pinkie followed in with a grin on her face as the others continued to watch the battle in awe.
Chase's dragon punched Zhao in the face, causing the Dragonquin monster to roar in pain before he quickly recovered and back fisted Chase's dragon in the face. Chase's dragon staggered back as the alicorn stallion continued to hold onto his dragon while they glared at Zhao's Dragonquin form, who charged at them with a punch.
But Chase's dragon got up and blocked the punch followed by uppercutting the evil beast to the chin sending him flying to the ground. Jade, Sunray, Trini, and Antonio's respective dragons joined Chase's as the five ponies glared at Zhao, ready to end this.
"Okay, guys. Ready to finish this?!" Chase asked his family with determination.
"Ready!" Sunray, Jade, Antonio, and Trini responded back.
"Okay! Time to unleash the flames of our dragons onto this creep!" Chase shouted as their five respective dragons began to concentrate as Zhao's Dragonquin form rose up to see the five sacred beasts ready to fire as their mouths began to fire up.
"DRAGON FIRE BLAST! FULL POWER!" The Elite Ninja said all at once as their five respective dragons fired a rainbow flame at Zhao's Dragonquin form.
Zhao roared in pain as he felt the energy being sucked out of him and he reverted back to his original form as he fell on his back.
Once that was done, the Elite Ninja's dragons fired the same rainbow color in the sky, touching the clouds in the process as it stopped the typhoon. Then the sky began to turn back to its original blue color. The rainbow flame then sent out a powerful wave of magic that returned everything back to normal.

In Ponyville, the buildings continued to burn up until the magical wave went past through the village, reverting everything back to normal. All at once, the ponies came out of Twilight and Chase's castle as they saw everything change back to normal.
They smiled with one another, knowing Chase and his team saved the day.

Back in Manehattan, Zhao struggled to get up as a shadow loomed over him, making him look up to see Chase and his family still on their dragons as they glared at him sternly.
"It's over, Zhao." Chase declared sternly. "You've lost."
Zhao glared back at Chase as his army rose up again.
"This isn't over yet. I will be back one day, Chase Young. And you will be mine." Zhao said as he used his magic to make orange mist appear around him and his Quinkan army.
Once the mist cleared away, Zhao and his army was gone. Seeing that the Quinkan were gone, Chase's dragon roared in victory along with the rest of the Elite Ninja's dragons as they roared in triumph as well.
The others on the ground cheered for the Elite Ninja as well. Pakku, Bumi, and Iroh smiled proudly for the heroes as the rest of the White Lotus clan cheered for them.
Chase and his family slid down from their dragons as the beasts were engulfed by a bright light as they transferred right into the five ponies. Once it was down, Chase and his team had medallions around their necks, courtesy of their five dragons with presenting their respective colors.
Twilight went up to her husband with a proud smile as they hugged each other happily as Nyx hugged her adoptive parents with them returning the favor.
"You did it, honey!" Twilight said happily. "You saved the world again!"
"We all did it, together." Chase corrected his wife with a smile.
"And it is all thanks to you and your team, Chase Young." Celestia said as she, Luna, and Cadance approached the family with proud smiles on their faces. "It would also seem that you have been gifted by the flame of the five Dragon Guardians as well."
"Indeed." Pakku said as he, Bumi, and Iroh approached the Elite Ninja with smiles on their faces.
"So what's with these new weapons we have?" Sunray asked as he and his family held their respective weapons.
"These weapons have chosen each of you for your skills of jiu jitsu." Pakku said as he looked at Sunray. "Banrai, which can shatter mountains with its thunder." Then he looked at Jade's Bow. "Arashi, which can break even tsunamis with arrows of water!" He looked at Trini's Spear. "Byakko; the hungry ghost that calls the cleaving wind!" He looks at Antonio's three section staff. "Inazuma, which commands lightning from the heavens." Finally he looked at Chase's long katana sword. "And Gunshin, commanding the white flame of the Dragon King!"
He looked at the Elite Ninja with a proud smile on his face.
"Congratulations, Chase, Jade, Sunray, Antonio, and Trini." Pakku said proudly. "You five have earned the title of the five Dragon Warriors. These powers you now possess are given to you by the five Dragon Guardians from the previous Elite Ninja and each of them share the element you harness. Jade, you are now the master of Water. Antonio, the master of Earth. Sunray, the master of Fire. Trini, the master of Wind. And Chase, the master of Lighting."
Chase, Jade, Sunray, Trini, and Antonio cheered for their new names along with the rest of their friends while the Princesses smiled at the sight.

In Ponyville, a huge party was hosted for the Elite Ninja for saving day as confetti rained down with ponies celebrating with cake, games, drinks, and lots of other snacks.
While that was happening, Chase and Twilight watched everything with smiles on their faces with Nyx hugging Twilight.
"I am so proud of you, Chase." Twilight said happily. "You've done it again."
"Yeah, and we have Nyx again." Chase said as he patted Nyx on the head, making the alicorn giggle.
"I'm just glad to be back with my family again." Nyx said with a happy smile.
"We're glad you're safe, honey." Twilight said as she kissed her daughter lovingly.
The party continued on as the alicorn family watched the ponies celebrating as well.

A little while later in the library, Chase and Twilight were seeing Sunset Shimmer off as they shared a smile with each other.
"Are you sure you want to go back home?" Twilight asked with a smile on her face.
"Yeah, I think I've worried my friends back at Canterlot High long enough." Sunset said with a sad smile before she recomposed herself. "But thanks for bringing me back to help you guys."
"Well, I hope you'll try to visit us sometime, Sunset. Have a nice trip back home." Chase said with a smile as the three shared a hug and then they broke it.
"Bye, guys." Sunset waved goodbye as she went through the mirror portal back to the human realm.
"Well, that's one adventure we've had today." Chase said with a smile he shared with Twilight.
"Yeah, I agree." Twilight said with a smile as they shared a loving kiss. "And I wouldn't be more proud of you, Master Chase."
Chase chuckled as he and Twilight shared a loving hug with each other.
"Come on, honey. Why don't we go relax for a while." Chase proposed as he and Twilight walked out of the library, closing the door behind them.
This has been a big adventure for them and saving the day again from the threat they faced from Zhao.
