Chapter 18 – My Little Pony Special

Metal Sonic, his repairs done, entered the lab and headed over to the machine that the other robots were rebuilding. The machine looked amazingly familiar, but he wasn't sure where from. He walked closer and began to work on it with the other robots. The machine seemed to be pretty much finished already though. After around a minute or two, the machine sparked to life and that was when metal remembered what it was! This as the machine that Tails had built. The universe teleporter that had sent him, Eggman and the other Mobians to this world!

Ganondorf walked to Metal's side and looked up at the machine. "Hahaha! Good work robots! Now out of my way!" He commanded. All of the robots stepped aside and cleared a path for Ganondorf to the machine. Metal Sonic didn't move though.

"Master Ganondorf. What do you plan to do with a universal teleporter?" Metal asked. Ganondorf didn't look at Metal, but he did smirk evilly.

"This universal teleporter has given me an amazing opportunity. I am going to use it to find myself. Literally. I am going to enter another universe and find my parallel self. Then I will convince him to join me. The only person that is as evil as me would be myself, after all." He said

Metal didn't seem sure. "What if your parallel self isn't evil. Or what if the world you find doesn't have a parallel you?"

"Then I have my back-up plan. I will use a curse I have to find the largest source of evil or darkness in the area and amplify it, causing evil to flow through it's host! Now enough questions. Keep an eye on that machine and make sure it's set for 10 minutes. With intruders in the base, I can't be gone for longer than that so it will automatically open a portal for me wherever I am. And if the machine is shut down i'll be trapped. So protect it!" Ganondorf ordered. Metal didn't like the sound of this plan but he nodded stepped aside.

Ganondorf stepped up to the portal and outstretched his hand. He gently slipped his hand through and felt himself being pulled in. He allowed it and stepped through the portal. His vision was flooded by flashing colours as he fell through dimensions. He closed his eyes and after a few seconds... he had landed...

"SPIIIIKE!" Shouted Twilight. She was in somewhat of a panic. The princess would be arriving in any minute. Why wasn't Spike awake?!

Finally, the baby dragon appeared at the top of the stairs, rubbing his eyes. He let out a yawn. "Mmph... What time is it?" He asked. Twilight wasn't amused.

Nameplate: Princess Twilight Sparkle & Spike

"Spike! It's nearly midday! I need to head out so I can greet Princess Luna. You need to get to work. You were supposed to clean the library yesterday!"

"Calm down, Twilight" Spike said as he reached the ground floor. "I know I overslept a little, but the library isn't in that bad of a state right now. I'll have this cleaned up in no time! Now you go and get Luna!"

Twilight took a deep breath to calm down a little and smiled. "Thanks, Spike. Don't forget to set up the spare bed. I haven't needed to use it for a while." Spike smiled and saluted before running off to clean up. With that, Princess Twilight Sparkle left the library.

She trotted nervously through the Ponyville market square. The was Princess Luna's first stay in Ponyville. Not only that, but she'd be staying in the golden oak library too. Needless to say, Twilight was pretty anxious.

As Ganondorf pulled himself to his feet, he was in a sort of shock at his surroundings. It was a pretty small village filled with buildings that he doubted he'd be able to enter without crouching or crawling on all fours. But that wasn't the shocking thing. It seemed to not have any inhabitants in sight except for... Equines. And not equines like his steed. These horses were around Mario's height on average. They seemed to be intelligent creatures. They had bags and seemed to have some kind of civilization, but judging on the surroundings, he severely doubted that there was anything evil here.

"OHMYGOSH! What are you?!" Came a voice. Ganondorf began to turn to face the voice and was greeted by a small pink horse with crazy curly hair. "Gasp! Areyouahuman?! Twilight told me all about those from when she went to that other world!" Ganondorf began to answer but as cut off. "That's amazing! I've never EVER seen a human before! I'm Pinkie Pie! What's your name?"

"I am Ganondorf. And i'm here to-" Before Ganondorf could finish his sentence he was cut off yet again.

"Wow! That's a cool name! It makes you sound like some kind of wizard. GASP! Are you a wizard teacher from those books that I forgot the name of?!" Ganondorf was beginning to get angry now. He began to charge up his fist with dark energy for a Warlock Punch.

"This is so Cool! You're gonna HAVE to show me some magic tricks and spells some time! Ooh! Maybe you can show me at your welcome party! Oh my gosh! I need to plan your welcome party!" Ganon couldn't take anymore and he released, swinging his fist wildly at Pinkie pie. But as the fist was supposed to connect, he noticed that the Pink horse was jumping away, talking to herself about a party. Well... it seemed Ganondorf was going to have a hard time finding anything evil in a place like this. Looks like he'd have to break out the Evil Amplifying curse already.

He raised a fist and began charging up his evil magic and after a small incantation, he opened his and a small purple orb of energy floated up and formed an arrow. Ganondorf smirked and followed the arrow.

Twilight arrived at the point that she was supposed to meet Princess Luna at. She guessed that Luna was a little behind schedule since she was supposed to be here already.

"... Maybe I can get Cheese Sandwich in town to help. Oooh! And I can't forget the cake, of course! I wonder what kind of cake Ganondorf would like the most? Duh! Chocolate!" Twilight looked over to Pinkie Pie who was bouncing over to her. "Hey Twilight! You'll never guess who I just met! I saw a human! Y'know, like those things you told us all about?"

"A human? In Equestria?" Twilight couldn't believe this. Why was everything going wrong today? Not that a human in Ponyville would've been bad, but on the same day she was supposed to meet with the princess? And then she saw the shadow of the Lunar Carriage! Princess Luna was here!

The lunar guards flew down, and landed in front of Twilight, bowing before her. Luna Stepped out of the carriage with a smile and stepped over to Twilight. "Princess Twilight! It's good to see you!" She said. Twilight cleared her mind. She needed to focus on one thing at a time. She'd find out about this human after Luna was settled in.

"You too, Princess Luna. But like Celestia and Cadence said, You don't need to address me by title." Twilight said, with a small smile.

Luna nodded. "Of course." She replied. She kept her royal mannerisms though. She had to keep up appearances in public after all.

Ganondorf walked through Ponyville, drawing in many strange looks from ponies and following the small dark magic arrow floating in his hand. The arrow began to glow brighter and Ganondorf looked upwards. And that's when he saw her. A pony with latent darkness within her, almost as powerful as ganon himself, maybe even more so!

Ganondorf smiled evilly and walked faster. He closed in on the Pony, raising the arrow, ready to throw it like a dart. He saw that annoying pink pony not to far away. Maybe if he was lucky, this evil pony would show her powers by killing the pink one.

He hurled the dark magic arrow like a dart and it struck the slightly larger pony in the forehead, melting inside of her.

"Princess Luna?! Are you ok?!" Asked twilight in shock. The magic bolt seemed to fly out of nowhere. She turned and saw a human-like creature striding towards them with a look of pure evil on his face. "O-oh my... what in equestria?!" Even Pinkie was a little scared, now. Luna felt woozy, as if she'd drunk a little too much cider, and suddenly felt a surge of pain through her brain. And then she heard the voices. The voices she thought the elements of harmony had eliminated. She found herself suddenly growing angry.

Luna began to change. Her mane and her entire body grew in size until she was just slightly bigger than Ganondorf. Then, armor began to appear over her body. Her hooves, chest and head were now covered by dark purple armor. Small fangs sprouted from the sides of her mouth and she began to laugh. "Luna? Princess Luna? Not anymore. I'm finally back! I am Nightmare Moon!"

Nameplate: Nightmare Moon

"Hey, Twilight! The Library's all clean and... What the?!" Exclaimed Spike as he entered the scene. He leapt backwards in fear and scrambled up onto Twilight's back. Nightmare Moon cackled wildly and her horn glowed. She fired a beam up into the sky and the moon began to rise, blocking the light from the sun as it did so.

Ganondorf now had to convince her to join him. He walked closer and bowed to her. "Nightmare Moon. My name is Ganondorf. I'm a powerful warlock from another world. And I have a proposition for you. Come with me back to my world, and help me to conquer it! It will be much more fulfilling than taking over a world of nothing but defenseless horses."

Nightmare Moon smirked a little. "Another world? Actually, this world of nothing but ungrateful foals doesn't deserve me! Very well, Warlock Ganondorf. Take me to this other world!" Ganon nodded and with that, 10 minutes had passed. The portal opened up right beside him and he motioned for Nightmare Moon to enter. She did so and in an instant, She had vanished.

"Twilight! We have to get Luna back!" Shouted Spike and Twilight sprung into action. Ganondorf walked into the portal and just as it was about close, Twilight leapt through, with Spike hanging onto her mane, tight. The two of them fell through the swirling portal and could see Ganondorf up ahead. Twilight used her wings to propel herself closer and tried to blast him with a magic beam. Ganon took the hit and turned, surprised to see that the pony had followed him.

Twilight flew right at him but Ganondorf saw the attack coming. He delivered a strong punch to Twilight's face, sending her and Spike flying off to the side and out of the dimensional stream, unconscious from the strong hit...

XXXXXXXX

"Twilight..? Twilight, are you ok? C'mon, Twilight, wake up!" Twilight's eyes slowly slid open. She felt like she'd been hit by a train! She shook her head and her eyes began to focus on Spike who was speaking to her. "Oh, thank Celestia you're ok!" Spike helped Twilight to her hooves and she looked over her surroundings. The two of them seemed to be dead in the center of a dark, dank, metal-coated hallway with pipes overhead.

"Nng... Where are we, Spike?" Asked Twilight. She flexed her wings out a little to stretch and keep them from cramping up.

"I have no idea. I didn't leave you to look around. I had to make sure you were okay! P-plus, it's ay to dark around here for me to explore on my own." Spike replied, shivering a little. Twilight used a levitation spell to place Spike on her back and then to light the way as she began to head down the hall.

"Well, I'm okay now. Let's find out where we are." Twilight and Spike walked slowly down the darkened hallway when they began to hear faint footsteps. "Spike! Can you hear that?!" Spike nodded with a little fear. Twilight began to fly, so she could be sure that she wouldn't be making any loud hoofsteps of her own.

The further they went, the louder the footsteps got until they echoes all around. The darkness of the hallway began to fade and from the same direction as the footsteps came light. Spike was happy to see something lit up finally. Twilight slowed down as she approached the turning and stopped just short so she could peer around the corner. Spike peered around too.

The two of them saw, around the corner, a horde of humanoid robots. The seemed incredibly bulky and brawny but were moving at a somewhat fast speed. "What are they..?" whispered Spike. Twilight wasn't able to give an answer though. The two of them were the only ones in all of Equestria who had seen humans before so maybe they weren't in Equestria at all anymore.

One of the robot's stopped marching along and all of the robots behind it stopped too. The robot's head suddenly jerked to the side to stare directly at Twilight and Spike and the princess pulled the two of them back around the corner to hide. "Do you think they saw us..?" whispered Twilight to Spike. It was around that time that the stomping of metal feet returned. Maybe they hadn't noticed her and they continued..?

Suddenly a large metal fist hurled around the corner and just barely missed Twilight. She and Spike let out a surprised scream and ran as fast as they could back down the way they came. Spike hung on tight and turned to see if they were outrunning the robots, but a horde of Brawn Bots were hot on their heels. "Twilight! Wings!" Spike reminded her. Twilight flexed her alicorn wings out and lifted herself up to add extra speed. It wasn't enough to outrun the robots totally, but definitely created some distance.

"Twilight! What do we do?! We have no idea where we are and it seems like we're being hunted!" Spike seemed terrified, and justifiably so! Twilight didn't have any kind of answer though. She just kept flying. After just under a minute, the hallway led into a large storage room filled with crates and cardboard boxes. In their panic, Twilight and Spike didn't notice the exit of the room and instead dove into a pile of cardboard boxes to hide

"Keep quiet, Spike" whispered Twilight. Spike didn't make a sound. They stayed perfectly still hidden away. The metal stomping slowly began to fill the room and after a couple of seconds, the stomping began to fade away just as quickly as it began and Spike let out a small sigh of relief.

"Think it's safe now, Twilight..?" Spike asked in a whisper. Twilight didn't say anything. She didn't wanted to stay still until she was sure there as nothing else around. Spike looked around at the boxes they were hiding among and he peered through the handle of one of the boxes. It was empty...

Spike found this strange and peeked into another box's handle. It was also empty. Why were all these boxes here if they had nothing in them. He peered into one final box and finally, it wasn't empty, but what was inside took Spike off-guard. "Wahhh!" Spike leapt back off Twilight in fear and Twilight herself jumped at his scream. Suddenly, the box flew aside and an unshaven man in a grey stealth suit and wearing a headband jumped backwards away from them.

Nameplate: Snake

Snake landed with his fists raised in defense and a glare on his face aimed directly at Twilight and Spike. Twilight looked up at him in shock and Spike hid behind the princess. The three of them stayed locked into a stand-off for a moment without saying anything. Twilight was too intimidated to say anything and Snake was too suspicious of them to risk dropping his guard.

Suddenly, a small ringing noise echoed in Snake's ear. He quickly activated his Codec.

"Otacon, Am I hallucinating?"
"Why do you ask that, Snake?"
"Cause, I was taught growing up that mythical creatures like dragons and unicorns didn't exist. But, I'm actually seeing them right now."
"OH! That's Twilight Sparkle! And her assistant Spike."
"Twilight Sparkle?"
"She's an Alicorn Princess pony."
"Princess Pony? Why do you know this stuff?! It sounds like something from a cartoon for little girls."
"Hey! I happen to love MLP, Snake! Anyway, This Alicorn is a student of the ruler of equestria named Princess Celestia. She's also the newest monarch to be crowned in their land. She has a variety of magic powers and skills."
"Magic?"
"Yep, Magic."

"ok, I really need to lay off on the painkillers... But back to the point. Is she dangerous?"

"No need to worry, Snake. She's certainly a good guy."

"Princess pony... ugh. I can't believe this..."

Xx Communications closed xX

Snake dropped his guard slowly, still cautious though. "Twilight Sparkle... Right?" He asked. Twilight began to answer when suddenly, Brawn bots began stomping back into the room from both entrances. Twilight began to step backwards into the corner. "Hey! Pony girl! You have powerful magic, right? Use it!" Snake ordered and he pulled out his missile launcher, firing off a nikita missile into one of the door ways.

She didn't have much of a choice. They were cornered after all. She took aim and fired a beam from her horn at the other doorway, blasting the Robots back down the hallway but not doing much damage to them. Spike climbed up into twilight's back again.

Snake noticed Twilight was only holding the brawn bots back so he pulled some C4 from his belt and threw it into the magic beam. The C4 was blasted back down towards the robots and then Snake detonated it blowing the robots apart. He then pulled a few grenades out and hurled them at the other doorway, blowing more robots up.

"Heh. Showtime!" muttered Snake and he motioned for Twilight and Spike to follow him. He ran down the hallway that Twilight and Spike didn't come from and the princess and her assistant followed.

"Wait a sec!" Called Twilight. "Who are you? How do you know who I am? Where ARE we?!"

"In order? My name is Snake. I got information about you via my Codec. You are in Hammurs Base 3 at the bottom of the ocean" Snake didn't say anymore as more brawn bots began charging towards them. Twilight took charge this time and began to shoot out a barrage of magical bolts, blasting the robots. Snake didn't just leave it to her though. He got right into the fighting, beating down robots all around him.

As the brawn bot horde began to thin out a laser blasted down the hall, hitting spike square in the forehead and knocking him down from twilight's back, leaving him in a pained daze. From down the hall, a very different looking robot rolled towards them. Snake recognized him as ROB, except his eyes were flashing red and sparking a little. Twilight kneeled down and helped Spike up. She wasn't sure if the two of them were cut out for all this fighting. Spike was just a baby dragon after all.

"ROB? What are you doing here?" Asked Snake. ROB turned his head to Snake and fired off another laser blast at him. Snake barely rolled out of the way. "ROB! What's gotten into you?!"

Twilight wasn't to happy that this robot had hurt Spike. She leaned down and fired a magical beam directly at ROB, blasting him into a wall. While ROB was recovering, Snake activated his Codec again. "Otacon! What's wrong with ROB? His eyes are all weird and discoloured."

"Scanning now. Gimmie a second, Snake"

ROB Looked back up at Twilight and lunged at her and Spike. His arms began to rotate fast like helicopter blades and delivered multiple blows to Twilight. She wasn't used to fighting at all, but she was still angry that this robot tried to hurt Spike. Twilight's horn began to glow and she warped behind ROB, and began another rapid-fire of magic bolts.

"Snake! I got it. It's pretty simple actually. An outside force has tampered with ROB. He's been forcibly reprogrammed." came Otacon's voice.

"Can we fix it?" asked Snake. Otacon paused for a moment.

"Hmm... I think so. You need to make sure ROB is held down tight"

Snake looked over at Twilight, Spike and ROB who were busy fighting. "Hey! Pony Princess! I need you to hold that robot down and make sure he doesn't move!" Twilight didn't think twice. She used a freeze frame spell to lock ROB up and then slammed him into the ground to keep him still. Snake ran over and knelt down.

"Ok, Snake. Open the panel on the top of his head. You should see either a bundle of fresh wires or some kind of out of place device." Snake did as Otacon said and opened the panel on ROB's head. Inside, there was a strange round device jammed into the circuits with a logo of a small moustached face with goggles. "Once you find it, just rip it out of there. But make sure you don't break anything else"

Snake pulled a small penknife out and began to shimmy the device out before finally managing to rip it out. ROB's head suddenly began to shake violently and when he stopped, his eyes faded back to their usual colour. "Thanks Otacon." Snake said, turning his codec off. "It's ok, Princess. It's safe to let him move now."

Twilight Sparkle stepped backwards and her magical aura faded, allowing ROB to pull himself up. ROB beeped happily to Snake. "THANK YOU, SNAKE GANONDORF HAD HACKED INTO MY SYSTEMS AND ENSLAVED ME" Twilight and Spike's jaws dropped at the mention of Ganondorf.

"Did you say Ganondorf? As in the evil warlock?!" Twilight exclaimed. Spike's eyes narrowed.

"He's the guy that took Luna, Right Twilight?" He asked, just to confirm it. Twilight nodded.

"Hey. ROB, was it? Can you lead us to Ganondorf? He has a friend of ours that we need to rescue." ROB turned and began to head back down the corridor he came from.

"THIS WAY" He stated. Snake, Twilight and Spike began following him. Twilight just hoped it was possible to change Nightmare Moon back into Luna without the Elements of Harmony...
