An Equestrian Alliance
Chapter 7
Yes, that's right, one of the new universes that will be added to the story is in fact the My Little Pony universe, along with what I call, the My Little Dashie realm. I know that last chapter I said all of the new characters will be revealed in this chapter, but I decided to dedicate this chapter to the recruiting of the first 8 characters. Now about the last 3 new characters in the second universe, I'll explain in the next chapter, just trust me on this, guys. Anyways, enjoy this chapter. I hope you have fun reading this.
Meanwhile, at the Forge of Creation…
Gold had arrived at the Forge of Creation, but he was rather disappointed that he had found not one fallen hero on his way there. "I'd have thought that I would run into at least one person on the way here. Oh, well." Gold said as he landed in front of the Forge. "Geez, this place looks like a dump." Gold said. The Forge looked to be in very poor condition as the once no doubt golden colors of the forge were reduced to a dirty brown and the once shiny metals were rusted and dull. Spiderwebs covered the area and Gold could swear that this place was a home for critters. "Well, might as well clean this place up a little." Gold said as he used his magic to cleanse the Forge of the filth and messiness. "There, that's much better." Gold said. Gold then walked towards the Forge and inspected it. There was still some lava and fire ready for forging and smelting creations but not much. "It is a good thing that I can create a mold for the new glove." Gold said as he crafted a mold that was identical to the size of the Imagination Glove.
After Gold crafted the mold, he realized something. "Wait a minute, the glove is such a unique shape. So unique that, only another human can physically wear the glove." Gold said. The glove indeed was made for a human to wear and no one else had the right hand to wear this. "Daniel was the only real human being, but he has been converted to Lord Age's side. We need another human in order for the plan to work. But, no one else from any of the universes that are here is a human. What am I going to do?" Gold asked himself. Gold thought to himself how the plan could possibly work if there was no human who could wear the glove and use its power. "Well, there is one option, but it could greatly weaken my power." Gold said. Gold didn't want it to come to this but there wasn't much else of a choice. Gold would have to pull a human from another universe into this world. "What other universes does Daniel favor?" Gold asked. Gold went inside the forge and used his magic to create a digital screen of some sort. "Show me Daniel's favorite universes." Gold said to the screen. "Yes, Gold." The screen said. The screen then displayed many universes on the screen. "Let's see. There's the Super Mario universe, the Amazing World of Gumball universe, the Wings of Fire universe, the Zootopia universe, the Lego Movie universe… wait, what's this?" Gold asked as he looked at a new universe he hadn't seen before. "What universe is this?" Gold asked as he read the name of this new universe. "Computer, what universe is this?" Gold asked.
"This is the My Little Pony universe." The screen said. "My Little Pony? I've never heard of this one. Tell me about this universe." Gold said. "The My Little Pony universe is a world where the population mostly consists of ponies. This universe is greatly involved with magic and personalities." The screen said. "Are these ponies, friendly?" Gold asked. "Most of the ponies in this realm are friendly and would not harm anyone. However, like every universe, there are villains who do evil." The screen said. "Who are the main heroes or protectors of this universe?" Gold asked. "The main heroes of this universe consist of 6 ponies: Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash. However, they are assisted by a young dragon named Spike." The screen said. "Show me these characters." Gold said. "Very well." The screen said as it displayed the images of Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and Spike.
As the images of the 6 ponies and the dragon appeared on the screen, Gold felt a sudden sense of joy in his heart. "The colors. What bright, beautiful, and joyful colors." Gold said. Gold understood now why Daniel would be so fond of this universe. No doubt the place where these creatures lived would be just as bright and astonishing. "What area of this universe do these characters live in?" Gold asked. "These characters resign in Equestria, in a town known as Ponyville." The screen said. "So, I take it that Equestria is their home continent?" Gold asked. "Yes." The screen said. "Show me Ponyville." Gold said. "Yes, Gold." The screen said as a projection of Ponyville appeared on the screen. "How can anyone not be in a good when they see this place." Gold said. "Computer, tell me more about these characters." Gold said.
"Twilight Sparkle: One could say she is the leader of her group of friends. Twilight is also considered to be the central main character of the My Little Pony universe. Twilight is a smart pony and very friendly and a well-organized person. She is the Ruler of the Castle of Friendship and the Principal of the School of Friendship. Twilight is a unicorn, making her very skilled in magic and spells. In fact, she represents the Element of Magic." The screen said. "Magic? So, Twilight is skilled in magic." Gold said. Gold then noticed something on the six pony's flanks. "Computer, what are those marks on the ponies?" Gold asked. "Those are Cutie Marks. Cutie Marks are based on the personality or special talent of a pony. Cutie Marks are gained when ponies discover their secret talent or unique characteristic that makes them different from other ponies. Twilight's Cutie Mark represents her magic." The screen said. "I see, tell me about the next pony." Gold said.
"Pinkamena Diane Pie (Better known as Pinkie Pie): One could say that she is the most energetic and most social member of the group. Pinkie Pie is very wild and happy. She never fails to make things fun and exciting. Pinkie Pie is talented in throwing fantastic parties and a skilled baker at Sugarcube Corner, a bakery in Ponyville where she also lives on the second floor at this bakery. Pinkie Pie represents the Element of Laughter." The screen said. "If her element is laughter, why is her Cutie Mark in the form of balloons?" Gold asked. "Pinkie Pie's Cutie Mark displays her special talent to make people smile and laugh with her parties and energetic behavior." The screen said. "I guess that makes somewhat sense. The next one?" Gold said.
"Rarity: One could say that she is the most formal and the most beautiful member of the group. Rarity has a great love of beauty and often likes to be the center of attention. She is very ladylike and also likes to keep everything neat and tidy. She could possibly be kind of a drama queen. Like Twilight Sparkle, Rarity is a Unicorn, thus she too has magic, although not as strong as Twilight's magic. Rarity is a fashion designer and a seamstress in her shop/home, the Carousel Boutique, located as well in Ponyville. Rarity represents the Element of Generosity. While Rarity is usually focused on other things, she will most definitely help her friends or anyone in need of desperate assistance. Rarity is also great at using her feminine charms to her advantage if needed. While it is not so obvious just by looking at her, Rarity can still protect herself if danger threatens her." The screen said. "Hmm, interesting. It seems she's exceptionally skilled in crafting materials for clothing. That could be helpful. Anyways, next pony." Gold said.
"Applejack: One could consider her to be the most hardworking and probably the most compassionate member of the group. Applejack is brave, reliable, strong, mature, and very hard-working, although she can be a bit stubborn and hostile. Applejack is an Earth Pony who works at Sweet Apple Acres with her family. That is also where she lives. Applejack is one to always get the job done and will do it proudly and diligently. Being somewhat of a cowgirl, Applejack has great physical power and is very skilled in athletics. Applejack represents the Element of Honesty." The screen said. "So, this Applejack is the strong one it seems. Her strength would definitely aid the heroes against Lord Age's monsters. Next Pony." Gold said.
"Fluttershy: One could say that she is the shyest but the kindest member of the group. Fluttershy is a Pegasus Pony, a pony that has the ability to fly. However, Fluttershy isn't much of a flyer. Fluttershy is very nice once you get to know her. Despite her shyness, Fluttershy can be quite confident and assertive. Rarely when Fluttershy get angry, it can be a bit destructive, but not very much. Fluttershy has a love for nature and animals and will take care of nature in any way she can. Fluttershy lives in a small cottage near the Everfree Forest. Perhaps Fluttershy's most unique power is what her friends call, The Stare. She will stare at someone and they will somewhat become hypnotized and listen to instructions. Fluttershy represents the Element of Kindness. Fluttershy is also Daniel's favorite pony of the 6." The screen said. "Really, this shy one is his favorite? I wonder why." Gold said. "Daniel favors Fluttershy because he can relate to her more than the others. He used to be extremely shy just like Fluttershy and he too has a great love for nature." The screen said. "I guess that makes sense. It seems that Fluttershy is a great nurturer and skilled in taking care of others. Very nice, next pony." Gold said.
"Rainbow Dash: One could consider her to be the fastest and the most agile member of the group. Rainbow Dash is a Pegasus Pony like Fluttershy, but Rainbow Dash is a much more skilled flyer. Rainbow Dash is a weather pony and helps maintain the weather in Ponyville. She lives in her Cloudominium in the skies above Ponyville. Rainbow Dash is very adventurous, competitive, strong, fast, and self-confident. She can be a bit troublesome and sarcastic at times but she mainly keeps herself behaved. She is very agile and excellent in combat. Rainbow Dash represents the Element of Loyalty, as she is very loyal to her friends." The screen said. "So, Rainbow Dash has the speed and the airpower on her side. Interesting. Tell me about the dragon." Gold said.
"Spike: Twilight's assistant and friend. He is a small pre-teen dragon. He has the ability to fly and has magical fire." The screen said. "That small dragon can fly?" Gold asked. "Yes, he can. He is young thus, he is playful, somewhat childlike, a bit clumsy, but still strong and self-confident." The screen said. "Does this Spike not have an Element?" Gold asked. "Spike does not have any element." The screen said. "I can change that." Gold said.
Gold then shook his head and remembered what he had to get done. "This is nice and all, but how exactly is a pony's hoof supposed to go inside the glove that requires a human hand?" Gold asked. "There is a separate realm in this universe known as the My Little Dashie universe. In this universe, there is a human being who has made friends with the main heroes of the My Little Pony universe." The screen said. "What is this human's name?" Gold asked. "His real name is unknown, but Daniel refers to him as Josh." The screen said. "Describe this Josh to me." Gold said.
"Josh is a young man who lived a lonely life. He dealt with loneliness and depression due to his parents' death. He is a nice man and is willing to help anyone in need." The screen said. "You said that Josh LIVED a lonely life. What about now?" Gold asked. "Now Josh is living in the My Little Pony world with the ponies. He is a happy man again and a father as well." The screen said. "I don't have much time; I need to know everything about this realm and the My Little Pony universe." Gold said. Gold then kneeled down and, in his head, called to his mother. "Mother, I ask you, give me full knowledge of both the My Little Pony universe and every realm of the My Little Dashie timeline. I must know everything about them. It is necessary so I can bring this Josh over here and make sure I'm not affecting anything too badly." Gold said. Then Gold was suddenly filled with the knowledge of the My Little Pony universe and every version of the My Little Dashie realm. "Oh, my goodness!" Gold cried as he held his head. "No wonder Daniel loves this universe! That place is amazing! But, Josh… no, I can't just take him away now. Josh only just got let out of that hospital and is Ponyville awaiting the completion of his home. But, there's no other option." Gold said.
NOTE: I like to see the timeline as the My Little Dashie by ROBCakeran53 and My Little Dashie 2: WHO AM I by ExceRainbowDash. So, when Josh is teleported here, the story will pick up from where the ending of My Little Dashie 2: WHO AM I by ExceRainbowDash left off.
"However, since Daniel didn't summon these characters, if I do it, I'll lose a good amount of my power. I can only do something like that 5 times before I'm completely powerless." Gold said. Despite his god-like powers and his mother being a goddess, he too had limits that had its dangers if he passed them. "Keeping the heroes safe is much more important than my power. I'm bringing them all in. We could use the ponies help later on if needed. But Josh is who I really need. And I'm not letting him and Rainbow Dash be in two different realms again." Gold said. Gold then made a mental note to himself that after he brought the 8 characters into this universe, he would only be able to use extremely powerful magic four more times before he would lose his magic for a very, very long time. "Okay, here it goes." Gold said. As he said a quiet chant and used his magic to summon a giant portal, connecting the World of Imagination and Equestria together. Gold struggled to keep the portal open but after a few moments, he managed to keep the portal steady and it was ready for use. "Perfect." Gold said. Gold then breathed in and out as he made his way through the portal. As Gold through the portal, which seemed longer than it was a moment ago, he noticed how the realm of the portal was filled so many bright and beautiful colors, just like the land of Equestria was filled with such colors. Gold kept walking and as soon as he made it to the portal's exit to Equestria, he blacked out.
Universe: My Little Pony Universe (My Little Dashie realm)
Location: Ponyville, Equestria…
Ugh, what's going on? Where am I? Gold thought to himself as he slowly opened his eyes. The first thing Gold saw when he opened his eyes was the pleasant skies of this new world. Wait a minute, I'm in the My Little Pony universe! Gold thought as he sat upright. Gold then checked if his magic still worked by lighting his fists with fire. "Okay, my powers still work here. Now, where am I?" Gold asked as he looked around his surroundings. "I set the portal to take me to the center of Ponyville, so I should be at the Town Hall." Gold said. Looked up to see that he was indeed in Town Square at Town Hall. "Excellent! The portal worked!" Gold said. Gold then noticed that he was completely surrounded by ponies. It seemed that the whole village had gathered around to see what has going on. "Oh, dear." Gold said. Most of the ponies surrounding him had either scared looks or hostile defensive looks on their faces. "Ponies of Ponyville, I come in peace. My name is Gold. I am a dragon from the island Pyrrhia. I don't wish to harm any of you. I only seek assistance from the characters called: Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Spike, and a human who recently came here." Gold said to the many ponies that were cautiously looking at him.
The ponies said nothing to Gold but they murmured amongst themselves about this strange dragon who seemingly came out of nowhere from this portal. One pony stepped forward and bravely spoke to Gold. "What are you going to do with them?" The pony asked. "I just need them to come aid me and my friends in an ongoing mission to save our worlds." Gold said. "How do we know you're not just some evil dragon trying to kidnap our friends and use them for whatever sick plan you have!" Another pony said. All of a sudden, all of the ponies that surrounded Gold started piling him with questions and accusations. "Wait! Ponies, please calm down! I'm not here to hurt anyone! Ponies!" Gold cried as he grew worried that the ponies would start attacking him or something. Then, the crowd's cries and yelling quieted down until there was complete silence. Gold looked around to see why they had stopped. Gold then watched as the ponies made way for another pony who obviously was royal and important around here. As the pony walked closer to him, Gold realized who this was.
"Princess Celestia! You must be Princess Celestia!" Gold said. Princess Celestia stopped a few feet in front of Gold. "How do you know my name? I don't believe we've met before." Celestia asked. "I know everything about this universe." Gold said. "What is your name?" Celestia asked. "My name is Gold. I come from the island Pyrrhia. I come in peace and only seek assistance." Gold said. "What assistance do you need?" Celestia asked. "I need the assistance of the human who recently came to this world, he goes by the name, Josh." Gold said. Gold took notice that Celestia looked shocked and disappointed to here this. "Is your island in any way connected to the Human World? Because if it is, then I will not allow you take Josh away from here." Celestia said. "My island does not have any connection to the Human World, and I need Josh to help me." Gold said. "I know that is not all of whom you need assistance from." Celestia said. "Yes, I know. I also need the assistance of Twilight Sparkle-." Gold said before Celestia cut him off. "I already heard you earlier." Celestia said. "Oh." Gold said. "Why do you need their help?" Celestia asked. "I'm sorry, I really don't want to do this but I must perform a quick spell on you and every pony here." Gold said.
Instantly everyone except Princess Celestia started yelling and getting angry with Gold. "Silence! I will deal with this intruder." Princess Celestia said. "Wait! Princess! The spell I speak of will only give you and every pony here the knowledge of what is going on in my universe." Gold said. "Don't force anything on-." Princess Celestia said before Gold snapped his fingers and every pony was filled with sudden knowledge of the events going on in the World of Imagination. They all shook and stumbled as they took in the knowledge and looked back at Gold, now wanting to know more about this situation. Princess Celestia shook her head and looked into Gold's eyes. "See, nothing bad happened. Will you please listen to me?" Gold begged. Princess Celestia nodded. "I need Josh because the Imagination Glove can only be worn by a human. Our human, Daniel, was turned evil. That's why I need Josh to come with me." Gold said. "Then why do you need the others?" Princess Celestia asked. "Because I have done research on them, and their powers and skills could really aid my friends that are out there searching for the Cores. Lord Age's monsters may get stronger. I worry that I could lose someone. They will need all the help they can get." Gold said. "Why should I trust you?" Princess Celestia asked. "Because if Lord Age snaps his fingers with the glove on, and the glove has all the cores, everyone in the Imagination Realm will be erased. And in every other universe like this one or my original universe that is stored in Daniel's mind, half of those universes population will be erased." Gold said. Princess Celestia thought of this horrible possible end. "Is there any way to prevent this erasing?" Princess Celestia asked. "Only by creating a second glove, retrieving the cores, and using Josh to aid in defeating Lord Age." Gold said.
"What do you expect me to do if one of the people you wish to take die in that realm?" Princess Celestia asked. "If I fail to return all 8 of them, you will have the right to kill me. As well as taking all of my power. And my power is god-like and stronger that every ponies magic here put together. That is not a challenge or an insult, that is just the truth." Gold said. Princess Celestia thought about this and then looked at Gold dead in the eye. "Very well, I will accept this." Princess Celestia said. Everypony started muttering and asking each other why Princess Celestia would give in. "You will?" Gold asked. "I see that you are not evil and your friends are indeed in a big journey. I trust you and I know you and your team will be successful. I will make sure that Ponyville is well protected while the group is gone." Princess Celestia said. "Are you sure you won't need any extra help? I have a few friends who can help you watch over Ponyville." Gold offered. "No, that will be okay. I appreciate the offer. Do your friends need immediate assistance at this moment?" Princess Celestia asked. "No, but my plan was to have your ponies and dragon ready in case my friends are in danger." Gold said. "That will be fine. I trust that you will use your power to protect everyone." Princess Celestia said.
"I will. So, where are they?" Gold asked. "They are at Twilight's library." Princess Celestia said. "May I go to them?" Gold asked. "Yes, I shall accompany you so I can explain the situation to them." Princess Celestia said. "That will be great. Thank you Princess Celestia." Gold said as he bowed. "You're welcome, Gold. Follow me." Princess Celestia said as she began walking towards the library. Gold quickly caught up to her, not before giving friendly waves to the surrounding ponies who by now seemed comfortable with Gold's presence. As Gold and Princess Celestia made their way to the library, Gold decided to make conversation with her. "So, Princess, how come when I got here, the whole town was already gathered around?" Gold asked. "Well, no doubt when you were creating that portal, the whole town began shaking and the portal's opening was seen slowly opening. I got an urgent letter from Spike telling me to hurry to Ponyville as soon as possible. When I arrived, the portal was nearly opened and I worried that it was humans coming to take Josh or something. I instructed Twilight and her group to take Josh and hide in the library while I figured out what the portal was about. I made sure they made it to the library safely and when I returned to Town Square, the portal was open and you were being yelled at by everypony in Ponyville." Princess Celestia explained. "I'm sorry about scaring the ponies. I know that you haven't had the best experiences with dragons aside from Spike." Gold said. "No need to apologize. They were simply just shocked as it's not every day that a portal suddenly rips its way into our world." Princess Celestia said. "Hopefully I didn't cause any damage. If I did, I will gladly pay for any damage I may have caused." Gold said. "You are a very kind dragon I must say." Princess Celestia said. "Thank you very much princess. You are nice yourself." Gold said. "Thank you, Gold. "Of course, Princess." Gold said.
A short amount of time later, they reached the library. "Be careful, I don't know how they will react to seeing a dragon like yourself here.' Princess Celestia warned. "I can protect myself if they try anything." Gold said. Princess Celestia chuckled as she knocked on the door. "Who is it?" A voice called. "It's me, Princess Celestia." Princess Celestia said. The door immediately opened and Princess Celestia walked inside. Twilight Sparkle was at the door and Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Spike, and Josh were standing in the middle of the room. "Is everything okay in Town Square?" Twilight Sparkle asked. "Yes, everything's fine. The portal has simply brought a friendly newcomer into our world." Princess Celestia said. "Who is it, if I may ask?" Twilight Sparkle asked. "Come on in." Princess Celestia called to Gold. Gold walked through the door and before he could make any sort of friendly gesture or greeting. "LOOKOUT! A DRAGON!" a voice yelled. All of a sudden, Rainbow Dash flew straight at Gold ready to attack him. Before Rainbow Dash hit Gold, Gold stopped Rainbow Dash midflight with some sort of magic spell. "LET ME GO!" Rainbow Dash yelled. "Rainbow Dash, calm down. This dragon is a friend not a foe." Princess Celestia said. Rainbow Dash was confused but accepted it. "Um, hey dragon, can you please let me go?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Sure thing." Gold said as he undid the spell and Rainbow Dash fell to the floor. "Ow." Rainbow Dash said. "Sorry about that." Gold said. "Yeah sure, no problem." Rainbow Dah said as she walked back to her friends.
"Um, who is this Princess Celestia, if I may ask?" Twilight Sparkle asked. "This is Gold. He is the cause of that portal in Town Square." Princess Celestia said. "Oh, um well, hello there Mr. Gold." Twilight said nervously. "It's just Gold and don't be afraid. I am a good dragon just like your friend Spike over there." Gold said. "You know who I am?" The small purple dragon asked. "Well I know about you, but we don't know each other personally." Gold said. "Okay." Spike said. "So, why is Gold here?" Twilight Sparkle asked. "I'll allow Gold to explain." Princess Celestia said. "Thank you, Princess. Okay, I'll get right to the point… I need your help. All your help; all 8 of you. Including you Josh." Gold said. "Woah, how do you know my name?" the human asked. "Let's just say that I know a lot." Gold said. "What do you need our help for?" Twilight Sparkle asked. "My friends in another universe are on a journey and their enemy's monsters may get stronger. My friends will need all the help they can get." Gold said. "Who are these friends?" Twilight Sparkle asked. "Well, uh… Princess, may I do that snap thing I did earlier?" Gold asked. Princess Celestia nodded as she motioned for him to wait a moment as she walked to the group.
"What does he mean by, "The snap thing"?" Twilight Sparkle asked. "Well, earlier when Gold snapped his fingers everypony except for you all, was filled with the knowledge of what is going on in the other universe and about every hero in that universe." Princess Celestia said. "Is that safe for us?" Spike asked. "Of course, nothing was changed besides we were given extra knowledge. It will not hurt, you will however be hit with knowledge so great, you will feel odd for just a moment." Princess Celestia said. "And don't worry, your memories won't be erased." Gold said. "Is this okay with you all?" Princess Celestia asked. The group looked at each other and nodded in agreement. "Go for it. if Princess Celestia says it's safe, then it's safe." Twilight Sparkle said. "Okay, here it goes. Hold on to your heads." Gold said as he snapped his fingers again.
After Gold snapped his fingers, the group all stumbled and began breathing heavily. "Woah! That was way too much!" Rainbow Dash said. "My word, what adventure those guys are on." Rarity said as she held her head. "What in tarnation was that all about?!" Applejack cried as she almost fell over but caught herself. "Twilight! I think my head's gonna fall off." Spike said. "Calm down Spike, just breathe in and breathe out… Oh, my goodness that was… extreme, wow." Twilight said as she breathed in and out. "Ow, my head." Josh said as he rubbed his head. "Are you okay, dad?" Rainbow Dash asked, worried about Josh. "Yeah I'm fine but, um Fluttershy are you okay?" Josh asked. Fluttershy said nothing as she slowly laid down on the floor and tried to relax her mind. "Fluttershy, darling, are you alright?" Rarity asked. "I, I think so." Fluttershy said. "Am I supposed to be feeling something weird or something?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Geez Pinkie how did you not feel that right now?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I don't know, but it looked like it felt odd for you guys." Pinkie Pie said. "Okay you know what? Pinkie, did you feel anything at all?" Spike asked. "Nope. As a matter of fact, I didn't feel a thing." Pinkie Pie said. "I'll never understand you fully, Pinkie Pie." Josh said.
"Are you guys okay?" Gold asked. "Yes, were fine. We can kind of see why you would need our help, but why do you need Josh exactly?" Twilight Sparkle asked. "Because only a human can wear the Imagination Glove. Daniel, our only human was turned evil." Gold said. "We will be happy to assist your friends." Twilight Sparkle said. "Wait a minute, Twilight. Who will protect Equestria while were gone?" Spike asked. "Don't worry about that Spike, Princess Luna and I will protect Ponyville and all Equestria while you are gone." Princess Celestia said. "If I remember correctly, there is a time difference between our universes so you all should have enough time to say goodbye to friends and families." Gold said. "Wait, what do you mean?" Applejack asked. "Ponies, Spike and Josh, this mission will be one that will be more dangerous than any mission you all have ever been on. Unlike a couple of the villains that you have faced before, Lord Age and his servants will show you no mercy. And if you are caught by any one of Lord Age's servants, including his monster minions, they will kill you." Gold said. The group all looked a bit shaken up to hear this.
"But don't worry, I will do everything in my power to make sure that you will all make it back home alive and unharmed." Gold said. "Thanks Gold." Twilight Sparkle said. "Come on guys! We have to go say goodbye to everyone quickly!" Pinkie Pie said as she began bouncing to the door. "She's right, while there is not big serious hurry, we mustn't take up too much time. Those heroes could probably use your help right now." Princess Celestia said. "Oh, well that wasn't my first reason why we have to get this done quickly." Pinkie Pie said. "Um, Pinkie Pie, I don't think we have time for a goodbye party." Josh said. "Josh is right, but maybe you can just put up a sign or something." Gold said. "Oh… okie-dokie-lokie." Pinkie Pie said as she bounced off very quickly to say her goodbyes. "Yep, she sure is the energetic one." Gold said to himself. "Well, come on everyone, let's go." Twilight Sparkle said. "Wait a minute, be fore you all go, let me give you all something." Gold said as he used his magic to create 5 small little circular objects and placed them in front of each pony.
"What are these for?" Rarity asked. "These are teleporters. They will teleport you anywhere in Equestria, to speed things along a little." Gold said. "How do we use them?" Applejack asked. "Just press the large button in the center of the device and in your mind, think of where you want to go and you will be teleported there." Gold said. "Got it." Applejack said. "Um, excuse me, Mr. Gold?" Fluttershy said quietly. "It's just Gold, but yes, what is it?" Gold asked. "What about Pinkie? Won't she need one, too?" Fluttershy asked. "Don't worry Fluttershy, I'm sure Pinkie Pie will be back in time." Gold said as he chuckled. "That's probably true." Josh said. "Josh and Spike, I need you both to stay here, I may need to discuss things with you." Gold said. "Okay." Josh and Spike agreed. "Are you sure, dad?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Don't worry about me, Dashie, I'll be right here, okay?" Josh said. "Okay, dad." Rainbow Dash said. "We'll be right back, Spike. Behave yourself now, okay." Twilight Sparkle said. "You can count on me, Twilight." Spike said. "Thanks, Spike." Twilight Sparkle said. "Well, you should all be on your way." Princess Celestia said. "Remember, there's no need to rush, but don't take forever. And remember, once you've finished, return to Town Square. I suggest that you bring the ponies who you want to say goodbye to, to Town Square. In order to that, you need to be making physical contact with family or friends so that when you teleport, you will all teleport to another location." Gold said. The ponies nodded and pressed the button on their teleporters and warped to their chosen locations.
After the ponies left, Gold turned to Princess Celestia. "Princess, may I ask you something?" Gold asked. "Of course, Gold." Princess Celestia said. "May I… let's say give your ponies some upgrades?" Gold asked. "What do you mean by that?" Princess Celestia asked. "Well, I fear that they could get hurt and even with their magic and teamwork, so I was wondering if I could improve their strength and/or give them some new powers?" Gold said. "I see no problem with that." Princess Celestia said. "Thank you, Princess, I promise they will be protected." Gold said. "I really appreciate your concern for my pony's safety." Princess Celestia said. "What can I say, I've gotten really attached to this place and the ponies here. It would pain me to see any of them get hurt or even… die." Gold said. "I see. Could you give me an example or two about what kind of upgrade you wish to give my ponies?" Princess Celestia asked. "Well, for one I was thinking about giving the ponies who aren't Pegasus the ability to fly by giving them wings." Gold said. "May I ask why they all need the ability to fly?" Princess Celestia asked. "Well, flight could be very useful in the realm of imagination. The land is rough and there are lots of dangers." Gold said. "Are you thinking of giving wings to Josh?" Princess Celestia asked. "Probably not, he will stay with me most of the time and once he wears the glove with the cores in it, he will be pretty powerful." Gold said. "What other kind of upgrades are you thinking of?" Princess Celestia asked. "Well, maybe for Spike, I could enhance his flight strength and increase his physical strength. I could also make his fire stronger." Gold said. "You certainly do a lot of thinking. I will allow these upgrades. I know you have good intentions." Princess Celestia said. "Thank you, Princess." Gold said. "Well, I shall head over to Town Square to await the return of the ponies." Princess Celestia said. "Very well, I'll join you in a minute. I need to discuss matters with these two." Gold said. "I shall see you there." Princess Celestia said as she headed on over to Town Square. Gold nodded as he turned to face Spike and Josh.
"Spike, Josh, I have a question for you both." Gold said. "Sure, what is it?" Josh asked. "Would you be fine if I gave you both some upgrades in your power?" Gold asked. "Like, make us more powerful or something like that?" Spike asked. "Exactly." Gold said. "That's sounds cool! I'm all for it!" Spike said excitedly. Gold chuckled at Spike's child-like excitement. "And you Josh? Will you be fine with that?" Gold asked. "Well, what kind of upgrades are we talking about here?" Josh asked. "Well, since you're a human, you will be quite vulnerable in the other universe, no offense. Anyways, I was thinking for you, I could increase your durability." Gold said. "What do you mean by, "increase my durability"?" Josh asked. "Well, you could take stronger blows from enemies and you won't be severely hurt." Gold explained. "Kind of like increasing your defense." Spike said. "I guess that could be helpful in that place. Yeah, I'll go for it." Josh said. "Excellent. Well come on you two, let's head on to Town Square." Gold said. Gold and Josh began walking to Town Square, while Spike flew above them.
After Gold, Spike, and Josh met up with Princess Celestia at Town Square, they waited about 5 minutes until the ponies teleported at Town Square with their friends and family. Pinkie Pie had arrived first using her super speed ability of excitement to quickly bring her family and friends to Town Square and she had enough time to set up a banner above the portal that said something about a goodbye party for the group.
When the ponies approached Gold, he noticed that they didn't have the Elements of Harmony with them. "Um, don't you ponies think that you will need your Elements of Harmony?" Gold asked. "Well, yes, but the Elements of Harmony were destroyed by King Sombra." Twilight Sparkle said. "Oh, that's right! Darn that King Sombra!" Gold said. Gold then got an idea. "Wait, were the Elements shattered to pieces?" Gold asked. "Unfortunately." Rainbow Dash said. "Are the pieces still at the Tree of Harmony?" Gold asked. "Yes, they are, but why?" Twilight Sparkle asked. "You guys stay right here; I'm going to get those Elements back." Gold said as he pulled out one of the small teleporters and teleported to wear the Elements of Harmony were destroyed. "He sure is a dedicated fella." Applejack jack said. "I wonder what his plan is." Twilight Sparkle said to herself.
Gold teleported inside the Cave of Harmony and instantly he saw the Tree of Harmony was indeed destroyed. "It can't be." Gold said as he approached the tree. As Gold inched closer to the broken tree, he stepped on something sharp. "Ouch! What the heck was-? No, no, no, no, no!" Gold cried as he saw right in front of him, shattered to pieces on the ground, were the Elements of Harmony. "How, could King Sombra have the power to easily destroy these precious Elements!? Come to think of it, why are the Elements of Harmony made out of breakable glass!? If you're going to make these powerful Elements made out of glass, then at least put some sort of clear sturdy casing around them or something!" Gold said. Gold shook out his frustrated thoughts and focused on collecting the broken pieces. After Gold collected all of the pieces and put them inside a small pouch, he had with him, he teleported back to Town Square. "You're back!" Twilight Sparkle said. "I sure am." Gold said as he let the shards of the Elements fall onto the ground. "So, you left to get the Elements back here?" Rarity asked. "What are you going to do?" Pinkie Pie asked. "I'm going to remake the Elements of Harmony and restore their power." Gold said. Everyone gasped as Gold said this. "Wait, you can do that!?" Rainbow Dash cried. "Of course, I can." Gold said. "But Gold won't recreating the Elements of Harmony be too much of a risk? From the knowledge that you gave us, you can only do powerful magic 5 times before you lose your powers for a long time, isn't that correct?" Princess Celestia asked. "Yes, but don't worry, I can still use extremely powerful magic 3 more times." Gold said. "Alright. Oh, and before you begin, you might need these." Princess Celestia said as she used her magic to summon the golden tiara and the 5 golden necklaces that each held their own Element. "Thank you. Okay, everypony hold your ground, this might get really rough!" Gold said as he used his magic to mend each Element one by one.
Gold didn't realize how difficult this was going to be as he struggled with the mending of the first Element, the Element of Honesty. Gold grunted in roared as he struggled desperately to embrace the power that was required to mend this Element. Slowly, but surely Gold began mending the Element of Honesty. The gem reattached itself slowly, piece by piece as Gold continued his spell. "Is he going to be okay?" Fluttershy asked since they could see that Gold was somehow in apparent pain. "Gold! Are you sure you can do this!?" Twilight Sparkle asked. "Don't worry about me! I'll be fine, just don't come too close!" Gold yelled as he continued to struggle to mend the Honesty Element. Everyone just cringed as they watched Gold struggle. After about 5 minutes of the mending spell being activated, Gold finally managed to put the pieces together. After the gem was put back together, Gold placed some sort of sturdy clear casing around the gem and placed it inside one of the golden necklaces and the Element of Honesty was fixed and fully restored in its power.
Gold gently placed the necklace down with his magic and instantly began mending the second Element, the Element of Kindness. "He's fixing the second one now!? He just finished the first one!" Rarity cried. "Gold, you have to rest for a moment!" Twilight Sparkle cried. "If I stop and rest and start the spell all over again, I will waste one of my chances to use extremely powerful magic. I must carry on!" Gold said. "I can't bear to watch him go on like this!" Pinkie Pie said as she covered her eyes. Gold could feel the pain and pressure increase slowly as he carried on with mending the Kindness Element. Gold focused deeply on carefully placing each piece back together slowly and carefully. Gold felt like his hands were about to just explode from the magic that he was using. Once the gem was pieced back together, Gold placed that same clear sturdy casing around the gem and placed the gem inside the second golden necklace and the Element of Kindness was fixed and fully restored in its power.
Gold gently placed the necklace down with his magic and instantly began mending the third Element, the Element of Laughter. Gold roared in pain as the power was getting too unbearable for him to take. Gold knew he had to carry on. He knew that he couldn't give up. Gold gave it his all as he continued mending the gem. Gold breathed in and out as he connected each piece together and making sure not to rush, because one mistake could ruin this whole thig. "I can't take anymore of this!" Fluttershy said as she clung to Rainbow Dash. "Try covering your ears and see if it helps!" Rainbow Dash said. "Why does it have to be this way!?" Applejack cried. A few minutes later, Gold managed to fully put the pieces of the gem back together. Gold put the sturdy clear casing around the gem and he placed the gem inside of the third golden necklace and the Element of Laughter was fixed and fully restored in its power.
Gold gently placed the necklace down with his magic and instantly began mending the fourth Element, the Element of Generosity. Gold roared in pain as he felt himself losing his energy, if Gold kept this up, he would probably pass out. "Guys, we have to do something! We can't just sit here and let him suffer, we have to help him!" Pinkie Pie cried. "Yeah, but how are we supposed to help?" Rainbow Dash asked. As they thought of ways to aid Gold in any way possible, Rarity got an idea. "I can help him." Rarity said. "What!? How!?" They asked her. "If all he is doing is simply putting the gems back together, I can use my magic to assist him. I like to think of it as one of my projects, but more intense than it would normally get." Rarity said as she began slowly walking towards Gold. "Rarity, wait! You could get hurt doing this!" Spike cried. "Don't worry about me Spike. I can do this!" Rarity said as she stepped even closer. "Rarity don't! It's too dangerous for you!" Gold yelled as he saw Rarity approach him. "That may be true, but I'm not going to let you suffer alone!" Rarity said as she used her magic to help Gold put the pieces of the gem back together. As Rarity used her magic, she felt the pain and pressure that came with the mending process. Rarity had to muster up all of the magic that she could so that she didn't get overpowered by the spell. Gold and Rarity yelled in pain as they struggled to piece the gem back together. Spike was biting his claws in fear as he watched Rarity undergo this painful process. After a few minutes of this process, Gold and Rarity finally managed to put the gem back together and while Gold placed that sturdy clear casing over the gem, Rarity helped him place the gem inside of the fourth golden necklace and the Element of Generosity was fixed and fully restored in its power.
Gold and Rarity gently placed the necklace down with their magic and instantly began mending the fifth Element, the Element of Loyalty. "Not again!" Spike cried as he covered his eyes. Gold and Rarity were now really starting to feel more pain. "Rarity! You must back down! This spell is strong!" Gold said. "I told you, I won't let you suffer alone!" Rarity said. Gold admired Rarity's determination to help but he knew that Rarity would hurt after the spell was done. Gold the go an idea. It wasn't much but it would possibly reduce the amount of work needed. "Rarity! I'll fix one half of the gem, and you fix the other half! Then once we've both finished our half's, we will piece the gem together!" Gold said. "Got it!" Rarity said as she pieced one half of the gem and Gold the other half. This plan worked for a couple minutes but eventually Gold and Rarity were losing their energy again. "I don't know if we can hold it much longer!" Rarity cried. "We must keep going!" Gold said. Right as soon as they felt like they were about to lose the spell, they felt a good amount of the pressure be lifted away. Then Twilight Sparkle stepped next to them and she was using her magic to help Gold and Rarity mend the gem. "Oh, thank you Twilight!" Rarity said. "No problem, guys." Twilight Sparkle said as she worked with them to fix the gem. Twilight Sparkle all of a sudden felt the pain that Gold and Rarity felt. "Stay strong!" Gold said. Gold, Rarity, and Twilight Sparkle kept their determination and soon enough, Gold put the gem was put back together, Rarity placed the sturdy clear casing around the gem, and Twilight Sparkle placed the gem inside the fifth golden necklace and the Element of Loyalty was fixed and fully restored in its power.
Gold, Rarity, and Twilight Sparkle gently placed the necklace down with their magic and instantly began mending the sixth and final Element, the Element of Magic. "Don't worry you guys! Just one more to go!" Gold said as they began mending the gem. By now, Gold and Rarity were extremely exhausted and in pain from keeping the spell up for so long. Twilight Sparkle could feel the pain take over and she felt as if she was losing her energy. For some reason or another, the Element of Magic seemed to be the most difficult for the three to mend. Gold knew that if they didn't finish the gem soon, all three of them, maybe not Twilight Sparkle, would fall or faint from the spell. After 5 minuets of struggling, the gem was finally pieced together and Gold placed the sturdy clear casing around the gem, Twilight Sparkle placed the gem inside the golden tiara and the Element of Magic was fixed and fully restored in its power.
After the golden tiara was gently placed on the ground, Gold, Rarity and Twilight Sparkle collapsed on the ground. "Guys!" The rest of the group cried as they ran to them. "Are you guys okay?" Fluttershy asked. Twilight Sparkle and Rarity weakly stood up. "Yeah, were fine." Twilight Sparkle said. "You may be fine Twilight, but Gold and I are exhausted!" Rarity said. Twilight Sparkle looked down and saw that Gold was not moving. "Gold! Gold! Are you okay!? Gold!? Gold!?" Twilight Sparkle cried. "Oh, my goodness! Gold, are you alright!?" Rarity asked. As the group tried to get any sort of response from Gold, Gold weakly opened his eyes and tried to stand. "I don't know." Gold said as he fell back down. "Oh, no! Is he going to be okay?" Fluttershy asked. "Why did you have to be so gosh darn dedicated, Gold?" Applejack asked. "Move over guys, I'll use these joy buzzers to get him up." Pinkie Pie said. "Wait! Pinkie Pie don't-!" Josh cried.
Pinkie Pie then touched Gold and he shot up and started shaking. "Oh, my goodness! P-P-P-Pinkie P-I-I-E-E, ST-T-T-OP!" Gold yelled. "Okie-dokie-lokie." Pinkie Pie said as she let go of Gold. "Ow! Geez, where did you get that?" Gold asked. "Oh, I've always had this." Pinkie Pie said happily. "You alright, partner?" Applejack asked as she helped Gold get into a sitting position. "Yeah, I'm fine now. Thank you." Gold said. "Gold, you did it. You successfully fixed the Elements of Harmony." Princess Celestia said. "No, WE fixed the Elements of Harmony." Gold said as he gestured to himself, Rarity, and Twilight Sparkle. "Thank you two for the help." Gold said. "It was nothing." Twilight Sparkle said. "Actually, it was definitely something, but your welcome." Rarity said. Then they heard cheering and all of the ponies were cheering for the return of the Elements of Harmony. Gold smiled and enjoyed the moment for a few minutes before he got onto business.
"Princess Celestia, may I begin with the upgrades?" Gold asked. "If you're ready, then you may." Princess Celestia said. "Mane Six, Spike and Josh, please step forward." Gold said. The group equipped their Elements of Harmony and moved forward. "I am going to give you all some upgrades. I shall start with you, Spike, please come forward." Gold said. "Oh, boy!" Spike said excitedly. "First upgrade: physical strength increase." Gold said as he sent a spell from his hand to Spike. When the magic hit Spike, he felt like he was 100 times stronger. "Woah, I feel so strong and mighty!" Spike said as he flexed his muscles. Josh and the ponies smiled and shook their heads. "Spike, hit me with all of your might!" Gold said. "Are you sure?" Spike asked. "Show me how hard you can hit!" Gold said. "Here it goes! HIYA!" Spike yelled as he punched Gold so hard that Gold went flying and crashed right through a wall. "GOLD!" They cried. "Oops, too hard I guess." Spike chuckled. Gold then walked back over to them and he used his magic to fix the wall that he broke. "Sorry about that Gold." Spike said. "Don't apologize Spike. I'm very impressed. You will be able to control your strength." Gold said. "Awesome! Do I get another upgrade!?" Spike asked. "You sure do." Gold said. "Bring it on!" Spike said. "Second upgrade: super fire power increase." Gold said as he sent another spell from his hand to Spike.
When the spell hit Spike, he felt like he had eaten about 20 chili peppers. "Alright, Spike, blow fire at me as hard and as hot as you can!" Gold said. "Here it goes!" Spike said as he shot bursts of flames towards Gold. Gold blocked it with his magic, but the fire was really, really hot. Gold could really feel the burn. "Okay, stop!" Gold said. Spike stopped breathing fire and Gold shook his hands from the heat. "Now, your third upgrade." Gold said. "Is there another one after this one?!" Spike asked. "There is one more." Gold said. "I love my life!" Spike said. "Third upgrade: flight power increase." Gold said as he sent a spell from his hand to Spike. When Spike felt the magic hit him, he felt like his wings were much more powerful. "Spike, fly as fast as you can! FLY!" Gold said. Spike happily rocketed himself into the air and once he was really high up, he spread his wings and he realized that he was flying faster and better that he normally did.
"Woohoo! This is so much fun!" Spike yelled as he flew fast around Town Square as his friends cheered. "Amazing job, Spike!" Twilight Sparkle called to him. "That is so amazing!" Pinkie Pie said. "Never thought I'd see him do that." Applejack said. "Meh, but still you're doing great!" Rainbow Dash called. "Incredible Spike! Absolutely incredible!" Gold called. "Thanks guys!" Spike said. "You're doing a beautiful job, Spikey-wikey!" Rarity called. Spike looked at rarity and sighed as he looked at Rarity. However, Spike couldn't see that he was about to crash into a tree. "SPIKE! WATCH OUT! WATCH OUT! WATCH OUT! WATCH! -Ooh, that's gotta hurt." Gold said as Spike began to fall. "SPIKE!" The group cried. Gold quickly flew over and caught Spike midair. "Thanks, Gold. I don't know what happened." Spike said. Gold just chuckled. "Spike, I think you and I both know what happened." Gold said. "I don't know what you're talking about." Spike said. "Good luck with Rarity." Gold said as he took Spike back to the group. "Oh, I forgot you know about that." Spike said. "Don't worry, I won't say anything to Rarity." Gold said. "Thank you." Spike said as Gold set him on the ground.
"Alright Spike, time for your final upgrade. Since you don't have an Element of Harmony, your final upgrade is that I will give you one." Gold said. Everyone gasped at this. "Me?! My own Element of Harmony!?" Spike asked. "Well, not technically but it's the thought that counts." Gold said. "What is my Element?" Spike asked. "I will give you what I call: The Eye of the Onyx." Gold said as he summoned a necklace with his magic. "Wait a minute, is that THE Eye of the Onyx? As in the one that killed an evil dragon in your universe?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Correct." Gold said. "But that'll kill Spike!" Rainbow Dash cried. "Not anymore it won't. You see, I enabled it to only harm the wearer if the wearer is an evil person. Since Spike is a good dragon, he will not be harmed." Gold said. "What will it do for me?" Spike asked. "With this, you can summon your inner beast and all of your upgrades that I have given you, will be super charged. Therefore, you will basically be almost unstoppable." Gold said. Spike put the necklace over his head and he felt the power fill him completely. "Wow! You're the best Gold!" Spike said. "Thank you very much, Spike." Gold said. "Now, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, and Rarity please come here." Gold said.
"I am going to give the 3 of you the ability to fly." Gold said. "Fly?" They said. "Yep, I am going to give you all a pair of wings so that you can fly. You may need to be able to fly in the realm of imagination. Are you all okay with this?" Gold asked. The 3 ponies looked at each other and nodded. "I'm all in for being able to fly. It will be so much fun!" Pinkie Pie said as she bounced around. "I'm totally okay with this." Applejack said. "I agree as well. It will be nice to have a pair of wings that aren't flammable." Rarity said. "Alrighty then, stay still." Gold said as he sent a spell from his hands to each of the 3 ponies. A few moments later, Pinkie Pie, Applejack and Rarity each started sprouting their own pair of wings. They examined their wings and spread them open to get used to the feeling of having wings. "This sure does feel a lot different." Applejack said as she examined her wings. "How do those wings feel for you Rarity?" Twilight Sparkle asked. "They are certainly much better than those dangerously flammable butterfly wings." Rarity said. "Can we test our flying ability?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Well, to save time, let me just do the snap thing and make you 3 know how to fly." Gold said. "Well, that little trick does speed things up a bit. Go for it, partner." Applejack said. "Here it goes." Gold said as he snapped his fingers. Applejack, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity shook their heads and jumped in the air and began to fly. "Ahh, I miss this feeling of being in flight. Except for the burning part that one time, but that is not the case here." Rarity said. "I could get used to this. What about you, Pinkie?" Applejack asked. "This is amazing! I love flying!" Pinkie Pie said as she flew in a circle quickly.
"Alright, just one more upgrade and then we'll be off. Josh, come here please." Gold said. "Yeah, what's up?" Josh asked. "I will give you that durability upgrade we discussed earlier." Gold said. "Got it." Josh said. Gold then sent a spell from his hand to Josh. Josh then felt so strong. "Alright, Josh I'm going to punch you in the face and you'll see how durable my upgrade has made you, okay." Gold said. "But, you're a lot bigger than me. Are you sure that's a good idea?" Josh asked, a bit nervous. "I'm absolutely positive. Now stay still." Gold said as he punched Josh in the face. Josh flinched but he barely felt anything. Sure, there was some feeling of pressure but it was barely painful. "Wow, you are so cool." Josh said. "Thank you, Josh. Now, ponies I'm afraid it's time for you all to say your goodbyes." Gold said. The Mane Six looked very sad to hear this as they knew it was almost time for them to go on a new journey in a strange and dangerous place. The ponies then went and bid their farewells to their friends and family.
(For this goodbye scene, I'm going to focus on the main family members of each pony)
"Now don't y'all worry, we'll be back before you even know it." Applejack said to her family. "But that golden dragon said that this might be the most dangerous thing you guys have ever done." Applebloom said as she hugged Applejack. "Have I ever broken a promise with you?" Applejack asked. "Um, not that I can recall." Applebloom said. "Well, then I promise you that I will come back home." Applejack said. "Thank you, sis." Applebloom said. "Bic McIntosh you make sure that Applebloom is happy while I'm, you got that?" Applejack asked. "Eeyup." Big McIntosh said. "Thanks." Applejack said. Big McIntosh then hugged Applejack. "Stay safe, sister." Big McIntosh said. "I will, brother." Applejack said as she hugged him back. "Make room, Big Mac." Granny Smith said as she joined the hug. "Aw gee Granny Smith." Applejack said. "Don't get yourself hurt in that place." Granny Smith said. "Don't worry Granny Smith, those evil creatures won't be gettin' their hands on me." Applejack said. "Be safe now." Granny Smith said. "I will, Granny Smith." Applejack said. Applejack then heard barking. "Winona! You've come to say goodbye to me. How nice of ya." Applejack said. Winona barked and rubbed herself against Applejack. "Don't worry, I'll be back home soon. You be a good dog and I can't wait to see you again." Applejack said. Winona whined sadly and Applejack petted Winona. "It's okay, I'll be alright." Applejack said. Winona nodded her head and walked back to the rest of the family. "Goodbye sis." Applebloom said. "Goodbye Applebloom. Remember, I promised that I'd come back home. I won't ever break a promise. Especially a promise that concerns my family's happiness." Applejack said. Applebloom nodded as Applejack walked to the portal. As Applejack walked to the portal, she felt herself start to cry. Applejack shook her tears away, and then ran back to her family and they had one last group hug. "Good luck, Applejack." They said. "I love y'all. I'll be home soon." Applejack said as she walked to the portal.
"Don't worry mom and dad, I'll be alright." Fluttershy said as she hugged her parents. "We're going to miss you very much." Mrs. Shy said. "I'll miss you both too." Fluttershy said. "Be strong, and we know you and your friends will save the day, just like you always do." Mr. Shy said. "Thank you. I love you both." Fluttershy said. "We love you too." Mr. and Mrs. Shy said. Fluttershy then approached Zephyr. "Fluttershy, I'm going to miss you dearly! Please don't get yourself hurt in that strange other worldly place!" Zephyr begged as he hugged Fluttershy. "I'll miss you too, Zephyr. And don't you worry, I'll be just fine." Fluttershy said. "If you want, I could help watch over your animal friends while your gone." Zephyr offered. "That would be very kind of you. Thank you, little brother." Fluttershy said. "Of course, big sister." Zephyr said. Fluttershy then turned to her many animal friends, all of them beginning to cry. "Don't you all worry. I'll be back home very soon. I would never just abandon you all. I'll miss you all as well." Fluttershy said. All of her animals walked to her and group hugged her. "I love you guys too." Fluttershy said. "Now, my little brother, Zephyr will keep you all company while I'm gone, okay?" Fluttershy said. All the animals nodded. "Goodbye everyone. I love you all and I'll miss you." Fluttershy said as she headed back to the portal. "I'm not going to cry, I'm not going to cry, AH forget it!" Zephyr said as he began to cry. "There, there Zephyr, Fluttershy will return." Mrs. Shy said. Right before Fluttershy reached the portal, Angel Bunny ran in front of her. "Angel Bunny, what's wrong?" Fluttershy asked. Angel Bunny pointed to the portal, then back to himself, then to Fluttershy then back to the portal. "You want to come with me?" Fluttershy asked. Angel Bunny nodded. "Oh, Angel, that would be so sweet but I don't want you to get hurt and I most definitely don't want to lose you. You stay here with everyone else, okay." Fluttershy said. Angel Bunny nodded sadly. "There, there Angel, I'll be back home and you know that." Fluttershy said. Angel Bunny then hugged Fluttershy. "Aw, I'll miss you too." Fluttershy said. Angel Bunny then hopped back to the rest of the animals and waved. Goodbye Angel Bunny." Fluttershy said as she waved back, then walking to the portal.
"No Rarity! Please don't go!" Sweetie Belle begged as she clung to Rarity. "Oh, Sweetie Belle, please don't make this anymore sad than it already is." Rarity said as she hugged her sister. "Why do you have to go?" Sweetie Belle asked. "Because there are people out there that may need our help. This is a universe threat and we cannot simply just ignore it." Rarity explained. "Why do you have to be a hero?" Sweetie Belle cried as she hugged Rarity tighter. "Rarity, we love you very much and we wish the best of luck to you and your friends." Cookie Crumbles said. "We believe in you Rarity and we believe that you and your friends will save many universes. Again, we love you very much." Hondo Flanks said as they hugged Rarity. "Thank you, mother and father. I love you too and I'll miss you dearly." Rarity said. Rarity then heard a meow and she felt something furry rub against her. "Opalescence, I will miss you dearly as well." Rarity said as she petted Opalescence. They stayed in the group hug for a few moments before Rarity decided it was time to go. "Well, I must be off. Goodbye my dear family." Rarity said. "Goodbye Rarity, we love you." Her parents said. "I love you too." Rarity said. Opalescence meowed. "I love you too, Opalescence." Rarity said. Rarity was about to walk towards the portal, but she felt Sweetie Belle still hugging her. "Oh, Sweetie Belle, I'm afraid it's time for me to go." Rarity said sadly. "I'm really going to miss you! Please come back soon!" Sweetie Belle said. "As soon as I can dear Sweetie Belle, as soon as I can, I will return. Goodbye Sweetie Belle, I love you." Rarity said as she gave one last goodbye hug to Sweetie Belle. "And I love you too, Rarity." Sweetie Belle said. After the two sisters shared their hug, Rarity began walking towards the portal. Cookie Crumbles had to hold Sweetie Belle back a little. Rarity waved one last time to her family and as they waved back, Rarity finished her walk to the portal.
"Don't worry about me mom, dad, Maud, Limestone, and Marble. I will be safe and sound all the way." Pinkie Pie said to her family. "We hope so. I can't imagine what we would do if we lost you." Igneous Rock said. "Thanks dad. I promise I will come back home." Pinkie Pie said. "Will you do me a favor sis?" Limestone asked. "Sure, Limestone, what's up?" Pinkie Pie asked. "You tell that golden dragon that if you even get a scratch, I will personally-!" Limestone Pie said before Cloudy Quartz interrupted her. "Now, Limestone, you know that Gold won't let anything bad happen to Pinkie Pie." Cloudy Quartz said. "He better or else he'll get what's coming to him." Limestone Pie said. "Don't worry, Mom. You know Limestone is just trying to look after her sister." Pinkie Pie said as she hugged Limestone Pie. Pinkie Pie then felt someone tap her. Pinkie Pie turned around and saw her youngest sister, Marble Pie. "Marble! I'll miss you too! Don't you worry about little old me." Pinkie Pie said as she pulled Marble Pie into a small group hug. "I will also miss you." Marble Pie said. "Thanks, little sister." Pinkie Pie said. "Pinkie, please keep yourself safe. Your safety is everything to me." Maud Pie said. "Aw thank you Maud. Come here! Bring it in!" Pinkie Pie said as she pulled Maud Pie into their sister hug. "This is nice." Maud Pie said. "Oh, yes. I almost forgot; your pet alligator wanted to come along to say bye." Maud Pie said as she moved to the side to show Gummy, latched on her tail. "Gummy! You came too! Come here, you silly alligator!" Pinkie Pie said. Gummy let go of Maud's tail and jumped onto Pinkie Pie as he grabbed Pinkie's mane. "Silly alligator. I'll miss you too." Pinkie Pie said. "Goodbye, Pinkie Pie. You save lives today and come home a hero like you always do." Cloudy Quartz said as she pulled them all in a group hug. "Thank you, mom. I love you all." Pinkie Pie said. "We love you too, Pinkie." They all said, with the exception of Gummy, who let go of Pinkie Pie's mane and walked next to Maud Pie. "Goodbye family! I'll miss you!" Pinkie Pie said as she walked backwards to the portal, waving as she walked.
Gold looked over to Rainbow Dash who was approaching her parents. "Um, Josh does Rainbow Dash's parents know about you?" Gold asked. "Well, I've met them, but as far as I know, Rainbow Dash hasn't told them about what happened." Josh said. "So, they don't know that you raised Rainbow Dash for 15 years?" Gold asked. "Rainbow Dash told me that she told them that I found her and raise her for 15 days. They don't know that, that meant 15 years for my time." Josh said. "Then I'm guessing that they don't know that you are in a sense her somewhat adoptive father or other father?" Gold asked. "Dashie said that she's planning on telling them but she is afraid of what they will do or say." Josh said. "I can understand why. She is afraid that she could lose you again." Gold said. "Yeah, that is my biggest fear as well." Josh said. "Are you sure you want to go?" Bow Hothoof asked as he hugged Rainbow Dash. "Dad, even if I didn't want to go, I have to go. There are innocent people who need our help." Rainbow Dash said. "Will you be okay, Rainbow?" Windy Whistled asked. "Don't worry mom, I'll return home without even a single scratch." Rainbow Dash said. "Well, your mother and I wish you the best of luck." Bow Hothoof said. "Thanks. I love you mom and dad." Rainbow Dash said. "We love you too. And we know that you'll make us proud, just like you always have." Windy Whistles said as they group hugged. "Aw, thanks mom." Rainbow Dash said. "Alright, Rainbow, you make sure you give those villains what they deserve." Bow Hothoof said. "Show them what a real Wonderbolt can do." Windy Whistles said. "You know I will." Rainbow Dash said. Rainbow Dash hugged her parents one last time before she turned to head over to the portal. "Rainbow Dash! Wait up!" a voice called. Rainbow Dash turned around to see Scootaloo running to her. "Scootaloo, what's the big hurry-?" Rainbow Dash asked before Scootaloo suddenly hugged Rainbow Dash. "Aw gee, Scootaloo." Rainbow Dash said as she hugged Scootaloo back. "I brought someone who wanted to say goodbye to you." Scootaloo said. "Who?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Your pet turtle, Hank." Scootaloo said as she pointed to a turtle slowly but surely making its way closer to Rainbow Dash. "Hank!" Rainbow Dash cried as she flew over to Hank. "Hey little buddy. I'm so happy that you came to say goodbye." Rainbow Dash said. Hank looked up at Rainbow Dash and rubbed his head against her. "Aw, Hank. I'll miss you too." Rainbow Dash said as she petted Hank's head. Hank then walked over to Rainbow Dash's parents. "Thanks for bringing Hank." Rainbow Dash said. "No problem." Scootaloo said. "Come here, kid." Rainbow Dash said. Scootaloo hugged Rainbow Dash. "I wish I could come with you." Scootaloo said. "That would be nice but this journey is too dangerous. Don't worry Scootaloo. I'll be back really soon. I promise you'll see me again." Rainbow Dash said. "I'm going to miss you, Rainbow Dash." Scootaloo said. "I'll miss you too." Rainbow Dash said as they hugged tightly. "Goodbye Scootaloo." Rainbow Dash said as she headed for the portal. "Goodbye Rainbow Dash." Scootaloo called. "Please come back soon, big sister." Scootaloo said to herself as Rainbow Dash arrived at the portal.
"I'll be safe mom and dad." Twilight Sparkle said. "That's our strong princess." Twilight Velvet said. "Thanks mom." Twilight Sparkle said as she hugged her mom. "Lead your group strong just like you always do. And make sure that you save many universes today." Night Light said. "I sure will, dad." Twilight Sparkle said. "Be safe, Twilight. If you ever need our help, don't hesitate to figure out how to summon another portal so we can help you." Shinning Armor said. "Thanks." Twilight Sparkle said to her brother. Twilight Sparkle then heard a familiar hooting sound. "Owlowiscious." Twilight Sparkle said. Owlowiscious hooted as he flew down to Twilight Sparkle. "Yeah, I'll miss you too." Twilight Sparkle said as she gently patted Owlowiscious. Twilight Sparkle then went back to her family and hugged them in a group hug. "I'll miss you guys. I love you all." Twilight Sparkle said. "We love you too. We will await your return to Ponyville." Twilight Velvet said. "Make us proud." Night Light said. "I sure will." Twilight Sparkle said. Twilight then made her way to the portal. Night Light then started to cry silently. "Oh, come on dad. Please don't cry. That will make it worse than it already is." Shinning Armor said. "I can't help it." Night Light said. Twilight Sparkle turned back around and waved to her parents and brother. "Don't worry Twilight, they will be protected while you and your friends are gone." Princess Celestia said. "Thank you Princess Celestia." Twilight Sparkle said. "You look distressed are you okay?" Princess Celestia asked. "I'm feeling a little scared." Twilight Sparkle said. "Don't worry. Remember, even in the scariest of moments, you are never alone." Princess Celestia said. "Thank you, Princess Celestia. I'll miss you as well." Twilight Sparkle said. "As will I." Princess Celestia said. Twilight Sparkle then hugged Princess Celestia. Princess Celestia smiled warmly as she hugged Twilight Sparkle. Twilight Sparkle then walked to the portal.
"Are you all ready?" Gold asked. "Were ready." The group said. "Alright then, let's be on our way." Gold said. "Wait a minute, Gold." Princess Celestia called. "Is something wrong, Princess?" Gold asked. "Not at all, I just have a couple things to give you." Princess Celestia said. "Like what?" Gold asked. "Well, I would like you to read this." Princess Celestia said as she summoned a large scroll with her magic. "What is this?" Gold asked. "Think of it as a Treaty of Friendship and Alliance." Princess Celestia said. "A treaty of friendship and alliance?" Gold asked. "Yes. A treaty that will bring our universes closer. You have helped us in a big way, and I feel like it is only fair that you know that Equestria will always be ready to aid you in any way. We hope to be friends with your heroes from those other universes. I hope that once you and your team have defeated the evil one, you and your friends from those other universes might consider coming here for a visit." Princess Celestia said. "Wow Princess! This is amazing! I will gladly accept this!" Gold said. "Then use this." Princess Celestia said as she used her magic to summon a pen. Gold took the pen and signed his name on the treaty. "Thank you very much, Princess Celestia." Gold said. "You're very welcome, Gold." Princess Celestia said. "Looks like I also have something for you." Gold said as he used his magic to summon a scroll that also was a treaty of friendship and alliance. "Just like Equestria will always be by our side, I hope that my universe and any other universe will always be by your side to aid and protect you all." Gold said. "I shall accept your treaty." Princess Celestia said. "Then, you know what comes next." Gold said as he used his magic to summon a pen. Princess Celestia signed her name on the treaty and very one cheered. "Thank you, Gold." Princess Celestia said. "You're welcome, Princess." Gold said.
"I have one more thing for you. Take this." Princess Celestia said as she used her magic to summon a device that looked almost identical to Gold's teleporter devices. "What is this?" Gold asked as he held the device in his hand. "If you ever need immediate assistance, press the blue button and a portal will be opened from Equestria to the realm of imagination. We will aid you in whatever way possible. You can also use it to communicate with me by pressing the red button." Princess Celestia said. "Thank you Princess Celestia. Let me return the favor." Gold said as he summoned a similar device with his magic and gave it to her. "It does the same thing that your device does." Gold said. "Thank you." Princess Celestia said. Princess Celestia then raised her hoof up to Gold. Gold interpreted this as a hand-shake gesture. Gold took Princess Celestia's hoof in his hand and they shook hands/hoofs. "We hope you return with your friends soon. It was a great honor to meet you." Princess Celestia said. "It was much more of an honor to meet you." Gold said. Gold and Princess Celestia smiled at each other for few moments before Gold made his way back to the portal.
"Farewell, ponies of Ponyville! We shall meet again!" Gold said he waved to the ponies of Ponyville. They all waved goodbye to Gold and gave their goodbye wishes. "Spike, I know that I upgraded your flying ability, but I still suggest you fly with Twilight because the trip going back to the realm of imagination is going to be a big bumpy ride." Gold said. "Got it." Spike said as he climbed on Twilight Sparkle. "Josh, I suggest you ride on my back." Gold said as he lowered himself to allow Josh to climb on his back. "Okay." Josh said as he climbed on Gold's back. "Um, how do I hold on?" Josh asked. "Oh, I'm glad you asked." Gold said as he snapped his fingers and then a saddle appeared on Gold. "Woah! This is nice." Josh said as he picked up the harness handles. "Use the handles to keep yourself steady and try not to steer me in the wrong direction and PLEASE don't let go." Gold said. "Understood." Josh said as he held the handles tightly. "That goes for you too, Spike. Make sure you hold on tight." Twilight Sparkle said to Spike. "Don't worry I won't let go." Spike said. "Um, wait what would happen if one of us fell off or lost control in the portal?" Josh asked. "I don't know but I don't want to find out, so both you just hold on tight." Gold said. "Okay." Josh and Spike said. "Mane Six, keep yourselves steady and focus inside the portal. I don't want to lose any of you. Alright! Mane Six, follow me!" Gold said he flew into the air and flew away from the portal. "Wait, where is he going?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I'm sure Gold has a plan." Twilight Sparkle said as she flew over to where Gold was, the other ponies following.
"Um, what are we doing all the way back here, Gold?" Applejack asked. "Like I said, the portal will be quite rough to get through. I feel like if we fly in at great speed, we can make it through the portal quicker and we should be able to fight the altitude and wind force levels of the portal." Gold said. "You've done something like this before haven't you?" Josh asked. "Josh, I've done it more than I can remember." Gold said. "Nice." Josh said. "Are you all ready?!" Gold asked. "Ready!" They said. "ALRIGHT! FLY AS FAST AS YOU CAN AND DON'T STOP UNTIL WE'RE OUT OF THE PORTAL! NOW, FLY!" Gold yelled as they all blasted towards the portal at full speed. In a matter if seconds, Gold and the Equestrian heroes flew straight into the portal. All the ponies cheered as the heroes flew through the portal. The portal then started to close fairly quickly. Princess Celestia looked at the portal as it was about to close. "Good luck my little ponies, good luck Spike, good luck Josh, and good luck Gold. May you all return victorious." Princess Celestia said as the portal finally shut and disappeared from Equestria.
And that is the end of this chapter. I'll be honest, this whole chapter was only supposed to be a few paragraphs, but then it had to become its own separate chapter. I hope you all enjoyed it. Now, about the last 3 new characters, don't worry they will be somewhat revealed in the next chapter, and I'll explain that next chapter. I'm already writing chapter 8 so that will be here soon. Thanks for reading, tell me what you thought in the comments, I'll see you all in the next chapter, bye, bye!
