Note: Where did all my reviews go? Just kidding, I'll stop that. Anyways, the time for the appearance of Jetfire draws near! The suspense! And guess what? More Dimensional Lords show up!

Dimension: My Little Pony

Planet: Equestria Earth

Specific Location: The Crystal Empire

Time: Four days after the arrival of Doxia

Rarity sighed dramatically as everyone sat around in a large crystal lounge room in the castle of the Crystal Empire. "Oh my," she said, "We've been waiting for ages!"

"One hour, twenty minutes and ten seconds approximately since we left Ruby and Sapphire back at their houses, a day ago" said Doxia. "Come! Join Pinkie, Cadence, and me! We're about to play charades!"

Rarity shook her head. "That would ruin my look."

"Drama queen," chortled Doxia. He then motioned to Cadence, "You go first, m'lady!"

Cadence grinned and got up. She held up two hooves and nodded. Then she began to pretend to be a wolf pack.

"Two words… pack! Ice pack! Six pack! Pack of bacon! That's three words… Pachyderm! Oh, that's one… Um…" Doxia scratched his helmet. "Man… this is tough…"

"Cake! Frosting! Ice cream! Kit kats! Cupcakes!" squealed Pinkie Pie as she hopped up and down in excitement. At this point, Discord and Shining Armor joined in to play.

"Oooohh… this is difficult…" muttered Shining, "Is that a fox? A wolf? A cow? A wolf!"

Cadence beamed at him as she continued to act it out.

"Oh wait… What was the first one then?" mused Discord, "Group? Was it a wolf group? A team?"

Suddenly a voice rang out. "It's a wolf pack, straight out of the Ice Age dimension."

Doxia whirled. There was a portal, and stepping out of it was Dimensional Lord Atraka, Dimensional Lord Mattimeo, and Dimensional Lord Vaporis.

Dimensional Lord Atraka was a little shorter than Doxia, and was dressed in orange full-body armor. His helmet, which was also orange, was masked, and had a visor shaped like a sword, pointing down.

Dimensional Lord Mattimeo was a little taller than Doxia, but also a little less broad as well. He was dressed in white full-body armor, and his masked helmet had a visor shaped like a diamond, and there were triangular markings on either side of his helmet.

Dimensional Lord Vaporis was just about the same size as Doxia, though also less broad. He was dressed in grey full-body armor, and his masked helmet had a visor like that of a motorcycle helmet: long, straight, and pitch-black. He too had the triangular markings on either side of his helmet.

Doxia laughed heartily as he gave them firm handshakes. "Atraka! Mattimeo! Vaporis! My gosh… I haven't seen you guys in ages! That being less than four days for you, Mattimeo."

Atraka strolled around the room, looking about with interest. "So this is the place that the Paradox chose to hide that cursed weapon, eh? Unique. Very… unique. And quite pink, it's almost as if Lauren Faust invented this place." Atraka then proceeded to open up a diagnostic holographic projection as he began to scan the past and present timeline for information.

As he did that, Mattimeo, Vaporis, and Doxia discussed their plans while everypony else stood off to one side, absolutely awed by the group.

"Where's Meadolax?" asked Doxia.

"He finally decided to give up his powers. He is living his life out somewhere as a super-rich merchant in the Marvel Universe now, I think," replied Mattimeo. Doxia nodded and chuckled a bit.

"What's the plan?" said Vaporis, "What is going on?"

"Well… The Paradox got the beacon crystals," said Doxia, rather apologetically, "Their plan was performed flawlessly."

Mattimeo shook his head. "That's too bad… I can only assume then that you have a plan to get them back. They are very important."

"That's what I said!" called Atraka. He then turned back to his holographic projection screen and said, "You know… Quite a few of these alternate My Little Pony timelines have extradimensional beings in them as well. Look at this one! This one has a soldier from Earth Prime here! This one has another soldier! This one has some random dude! This one has an S.W.A.T. officer! Weird… It looks like most of them tragically died so that they could be transported to Equestria to fight Sombra or something. This is ironic."

"Atraka!" snapped Mattimeo, "Stop messing with the alternate timelines, this is important!"

Atraka bowed elegantly to Mattimeo as he said, "As you wish, monsieur Mattimeo. I will do as you say."

"Doxia, you rubbed off too much on Atraka," muttered Vaporis.

Doxia just chuckled. "It was all those beers we had when we commanded the E.D.D. forward guard in the Maelstrom war."

"Beers?" asked Mattimeo, glancing at Doxia, "What are you talking about…? Never mind, that is not important. You want us to help you retaliate against the Paradox so that we can steal back the beacon crystals, right?"

"What are the beacon crystals for, anyway?" asked Vaporis, looking genuinely confused, "Did I miss an agenda or something?"

"No, it's a secret. Only Mattimeo and I are supposed to know what they are, sorry old buddy," said Doxia, apologetically.

"Hey, I'm cool," interjected Atraka for Vaporis. Vaporis just nodded his head wordlessly.

"So, do you know where the beacon crystals are held?" asked Mattimeo.

Doxia nodded, "They are held in the sub-basement Amethyst Facility. Sector 009. Left hangar, if I am not mistaken."

Mattimeo stroked his helmet-covered chin as he said, "Ahhhh… Top-notch security there. That was the place we held the Kanohi Ignika for a time, correct?"

Doxia nodded. "Yep. And now they have the beacon crystals there. We need those crystals, and we are going to get them."

Mattimeo shrugged. "How do you propose we do that? I mean, sure, we as a team could punch through the whole area with ease, but that would make you look more like a criminal than you already are branded, and it will also blow my cover. We need to think rationally about it."

"Rationally-smationally… But I see your point," chuckled Doxia. He stood there stroking his chin for a full five minutes. Atraka just shook his head and strolled over to Rarity.

"My, my… It's a good thing I brought my library card, 'cause I'm checking you out," said Atraka as he sat down next to her and threw and arm around her shoulders. Rarity just gaped, unable to say or do anything out of shock.

Mattimeo faceplamed, and turned his back pointedly on Atraka. Vaporis glanced at Cadence and whispered, "I do not know who he is, nor am I related. Who is that guy, anyway?"

Doxia, who had been oblivious to everything for a moment, suddenly snapped a finger and said, "I've got it. Mattimeo, you can still access the dimension of Amethyst without tripping the phantom systems that hide it because you are a Enigma leader. So, I need you to get into the security system and force it to run debugging program number 98.23 on Sub-basement Sector 009. I wrote debugging program 98.23 as an April Fool's joke about three hundred billion years ago. It will do the debugging for the system like usual, but it will also shut down all forms of security, and will make all screens play a looping clip of 'What Does the Fox Say?' on them. No one is ever allowed down in Sector 009, so no one will notice the latter of the effects, but with the security down, I will be able teleport straight into it without being rejected by the dimensional defense system and without being caught on camera. You are a trusted senior Dimensional Lord, Mattimeo, so you will be able to go straight to the automated security systems and command them to run the program without and other Dimensional Lords suspecting you."

"That is a brilliant plan," commented Vaporis dryly, making a show of ignoring Atraka and his indecent advances on Rarity, "But why do you need the rest of us here?"

"I will need one of you to guard the My Little Pony dimension while I am gone," replied Doxia, "I do not trust that the Paradox will be idle while we steal back the crystals."

"I'll guard it! Me! Me! Me!" exclaimed Atraka enthusiastically.

"If he guards it… then I will stay as well," said Vaporis, giving Atraka a disapproving glance.

Doxia thought about it for a moment, and then nodded. He then said, to Vaporis, "Very well… You and Atraka will guard the My Little Pony dimension while Mattimeo and I go and breach Amethyst."

There was a pause, then Mattimeo said, "There is another issue."

Doxia glanced at Mattimeo and motioned for him to continue.

"We still have to reckon with Dimensional Lord Mapaxa, who has been heavily guarding the Amethyst computer systems since you planted that one virus a week ago, Doxia. He doesn't stand a chance against either of us, but he is skilled enough to withstand a direct attack for at least a couple of seconds, more than enough time for him to raise an alarm. We need a distraction… any distraction. Unfortunately, it looks like we have no men to spare."

Doxia thought about the predicament for a moment, and then beckoned Discord to him. "We have Discord. He can cause a good distraction. Discord, are you up to helping your old buddies stop the mean old Paradox?"

Discord stroked his chink for a moment. Then he said, "Well… yes. I most certainly will. I understand that there might be a bit of an issue with me when it comes to fighting, but a distraction… THAT I can do."

Doxia stretched and straightened up. "Cool. So, I will explain what is going on one more time: Vaporis and Atraka are going to stay here. Mattimeo, Discord, and I will go the Amethyst to steal back the beacon crystals. Everyone else is going to sit tight. Discord, you will be responsible for distracting Mapaxa long enough for Mattimeo to get around him and take him out without raising any alarms. Mattimeo, you will then set off program 98.23 in the Sub-basement Sector 009. With the security systems disabled down there, I can teleport directly into the place and steal the beacon crystals. Remember, Mattimeo and Discord, Amethyst is the most secure place in the Earth Multiverse. The only advantage we have is that you are trusted officer, so we have the element of surprise. Well? What is everyone waiting for? Let's move!"

Dimension: Transformers

Planet: Earth

Specific Location: Middle of nowhere, Wyoming, United States of America

Time: Two years after the events of Dark of the Mon, four days after the arrival of Doxia

Franklin glanced at Alyss nervously. "Are you sure this will even work? I mean… What are the power tiers of the two other travelers?"

Alyss handed him a pair of Dimensional Traveler-grade handcuffs. "I've altered these cuffs, you can break free of them at a moment's notice. As for the power tiers… both are power tier 2s."

Franklin nodded his head slowly. "Okay… Cool. I think we can deal with that."

"We will have no other choice," commented Alyss dryly as she pulled up the traveler database and opened a telepathic link with her former teammates. "I've caught Franklin Montgomery. The rest got away."

After a moment, she turned around and said to Franklin, "They're on their way. Get ready."

Taking a deep breath, Franklin got down on one knee so that his handcuffed hands were a little bit closer to the sniper rifle on the ground. He glanced at Alyss and nodded his head. Alyss returned the nod. Suddenly a portal opened up and two travelers stepped through. One was dressed in grey body armor, the other was dressed in red.

"Is this Montgomery?" snapped the one in red. Alyss nodded.

"I caught him when Grey and I split up, Red," she explained.

Grey pulled up his traveler database and checked the update that had contained the warrant for the Brothers in Arms corps arrest.

"It says here that he is wanted preferably dead. Let us make sure we preform everything for the Paradox's maximum satisfaction," he said airily. He whipped out a gun and aimed it straight at Franklin's head. Franklin flicked his wrists and the handcuffs flew off into the face of his attacker. Franklin then dove to the ground, grabbed his sniper rifle, and rolled. The moment he was on his feet, however, he was blasted back by a kinetic blast from Red.

Grunting in pain, Franklin flipped through the air so that he would land feet-first after blasting backwards. He landed, skidded a couple of meters, and then came to a stop. Whipping out his sniper rifle, Franklin began to shoot at Grey and Red. They threw up an energy shield and Franklin's bullets bounced harmlessly off its surface.

Turning to Alyss, Red shouted, "What the hell are you standing there for? Help us!"

Alyss nodded and turned to face Franklin. Then she suddenly whirled on her former allies and conjured up a spear. She hurled it at Grey. Grey, by some miracle, saw the spear coming and flicked his head out of the way. Unfortunately, he still managed to take the spear in the shoulder. He staggered back with a yell, and began to hurl hails of lacerating energy bolts at his new adversary. Grey and Red went back-to-back, desperately trying to stave off the waves of attacks from Alyss and Franklin.

Franklin continued to back up, firing rapidly at the energy shield that Red still held in place. The shield slowly began to buckle and crack as the shells continued to ricochet off of it. Red suddenly shouted something to his comrade and dropped the shield. Both dove out of the way of a flying school bus, which for some strange reason Alyss had decided to hurl at them, and switched directions and advesaries. Now Grey began to fire crackling lightning bolts at Franklin while Red began to smash away at Alyss's attacks with streams of dark matter. Those two travelers were a good and organized team.

Gritting his teeth as he barely ducked a lightning bolt, Franklin attempted to open a telepathic connection with Alyss. After a pause, she accepted the link.

"What is it, Franklin?" asked Alyss over the link.

"We need to start working together," replied Franklin. He paused for a moment as he ducked under a lightning bolt and quickly did a backflip to dodge the flash of shadow energy that directly followed. He then quickly dove behind a rock and began to retaliate with his sniper rifle again.

"I agree, we need to start working together. I am going to conjure up a meteor large enough to scatter them. However, I will need cover while I pull together the necessary molecules to create it. Can I count on you?" said Alyss as she continued to hurl spears, swords, missiles, vehicles, and other projectiles at her enemies, all the while swiftly conjuring up titanium or steel walls to protect herself from their attacks.

"You sure can. On the count of three, I am going to rush them. I don't usually use my powers directly for attacks, but this time I will make an exception. When I am rushing them, I will couple my sniper bullets with bolts of explosive energy. The overall attack will not be able to hurt them, but it most certainly will be enough to grab both of their attentions. Got it?"

"Understood. Good luck."

Three seconds later, Franklin leapt from his hiding place. With a roar, he rushed Red and Grey, hurling energy bolts and firing off bullets with fairly good accuracy. Grey hurled up a large earthen wall to protect himself from Alyss as he whirled to help Red face off Franklin. Franklin's rush-attack soon petered out in the face of this double retaliation, but it most certainly had gained their needed attention for the required amount of time. Now at a huge disadvantage, Franklin gritted his teeth as he simply dropped his attacks so that he could put all of his energy into ducking, dodging, and flipping through the air to avoid the powerful onslaught. Suddenly, after hurling himself over a long beam of light energy, Franklin tripped over a small rock. He fell face first with a grunt. He immediately tried to get up and prepare to dodge another wave of attacks, but he was too slow. A bolt of explosive energy landed less than a meter away from his face. The blast was not fatal, and it did not possess enough thermal power in it to scar his face, but the shockwave most certainly sent him skimming backwards. His ears ringing, with colorful circles blossoming before his eyes, Franklin was now helpless.

Grey glanced at Red and turned back to the earthen wall he had set up as he said, "I'll leave you to finish him."

Grey dropped the wall, and found Alyss, with a massive block of granite and iron hovering above her head. Alyss flashed her hands down in a sweeping motion, commanding her creation to spiral towards he enemies. Both Red and Grey tried to hurl themselves out of the way, but they were too late. The explosion of earth, iron, granite, and dust sent them flying away from each other. The second Grey hit the ground, he leapt up and prepared to assault Alyss, but he suddenly jerked, as if he had been shocked, and fell over with four bullets in him, one in each appendage. Red, however, managed to throw up an energy shield in time, successfully blocking the bullets meant for him… but now he was hopelessly outgunned. Soon his shield collapsed from being struck by a Boeing 747 (courtesy of Alyss), and he had to whirl to defend himself from a wave of bullets from Franklin. He conjured up a thick steel plate, which he levitated in front of himself. He listened to the sound of the sniper bullets smashing against them, and watched the dents appear. Following this up, he hurled the metal plating at Franklin and whirled to face Alyss once more, only to see a train, conjured out of thin air, barreling towards him. It smashed into him and sent him flying into the air. He was out cold before he hit the ground.

Breathing heavily, Franklin walked up to Alyss and shook her hand. "That was well done, Alyss."

Alyss smiled calmly as she said, "It most certainly was."

Franklin turned around and proceeded to drag the unconscious forms of Red and Grey over to a large rock, where he leaned them against its surface. He turned to Alyss, then, and said, "What are we going to do with them? We can't kill them."

Alyss nodded, and pulled out two pairs of Dimensional Traveler-grade handcuffs. "These will keep them from moving, opening a portal, or teleporting. They will be snug and sound here, in the middle of Wyoming, with no other sentient beings in a five kilometer radius."

Franklin grinned as he slapped on the handcuffs, setting them to "paralyze" mode. He then turned to Alyss and sighed. "Do you want to join up with Daniel and the rest?"

Alyss thought about it, and then shook her head. "No," she said, "I will not be joining you guys. I have my own obligations. And now that I know that the Paradox cannot be trusted, there are few things I must do to ensure he does not continue to ensnare us in his lies. I will be leaving."

"Very well," replied Franklin with a nod, "I understand. I will free these guys later. As for you, I wish you all the luck in the world. Goodbye."

Note: More battle scenes... I am sure that most of you are pleased with a little bit of action after a lot of talking and walking! I am going to make an addition to my guide (more dimensional theory stuff), so keep a lookout for that! Oh, and I would appreciate it if you guys let me know of what you think about the new lords. See you all later, and do not forget to review!
