Dimension: My Little Pony

Planet: Equestria Earth

Specific Location: Appleloosa

Time: Two and a half weeks after the Paradox took over Equestria

"And… you sure this will work?" said Krausk slowly as he approached his ship, which was still guarded by a score of armed cowcolts.

Braeburn and Applejack rolled their eyes simultaneously. This was at least the sixth time he had asked that very question.

"I dunno," said Applejack for the sixth time, "We don't know how all this space magic stuff works…"

"AND we ain't goin' with you, so it doesn't really matter either," snickered Braeburn. Krausk shot him a venomous glance. He typed a code into a keypad on the outer plating of a docking bay by the helm of the large frigate. The metallic door opened with a hiss, and Krausk got in. He then turned around and said, "You space ponies have been both a great help, and no help at all. I've got his now, so screw off."

With that, the door closed. There was a long pause.

Finally, Braeburn snorted and said, "Well… I am a-guessin' that we're done now! Come on, cousin, let's get back to that chariot and Ponyville. I don't wanna miss the excitement that will be soon unfolding back there!"

Inside the ship, Krausk approached the main engine of his ship. A large, intricate, multi-faceted cube that was welded to the main engine was his primary target: the interdimensional jump drive. It had been cobbled together by the greatest minds that Krausk's species had even know, and despite that, almost nothing was known about interimensional travel. Thus, Krausk knew next to nothing about how even fueling the thing up worked.

Sighing in resignation, Krausk pulled on a hazard suit and opened the reactor core of the jump drive. Inside was an array of pointed spikes that were all directed to a single sphere of blackened material. This black piece of mattered that hovered in place was once the densest compound of Edinium know to the Reset Dimension (Orbit). However, now it was burned out totally. With the closest thing he could get to giving a "I couldn't care less now" shrug, Krausk pulled out the black ball of wasted matter and tossed it away as if it was a candy wrapper. He then shoved the whole cube of Imagination Energy in its stead. He then slammed the reactor shut and waddled away while pulling off his haphazard radiation-protection suit. As the last pieces of the hazmat clothing came off, Krausk pulled out a piece of paper where he had copied the coordinates that Desmond had given him. He sprinted through the vast halls of his frigate as he worked his way to the helm of his ship.

"Alright… lets fire this bird up." Krausk said while cracking his knuckles.

After running around, ensuring all posts were in operational order, Krausk returned to the helm and clicked the Manual Engine Startup button on his chair. He then walked over to the helmsman post, and manually mixed the energy flow into the Edinium Propellant.

"Fuel mixture complete, Compressing. Engine startup in forty seconds," said the A.I. main computer system nonchalantly, "Be sure to fire the J.U.M.P. Drive."

The Engines whined, the eight city block long warship shuddering as the super-heated Plasma shot out of the Take-off thrusters.

Sitting down, Krausk began to start up the activation sequence to his ship. Biting his bottom lip until it bled, Krausk prepared for the re-ignition of his baby. Squeezing his eyes tight, Krausk then typed in the activation sequence. To his absolute joy and surprise… the whole ship leapt to life. In fact, the engine registered 500% additional power capacity. The Imagination Energy had supercharged the whole ship.

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" roared Krausk as he began to start up the escape-orbit process. Scurrying like a busy crab across a sandbar, Krausk ran between the different posts in the helm room as he typed in sequences and ran diagnostics and start-up commands. In several minutes, the whole ship was ready for an official lift-off.

The Ship then shot straight upwards at several kilometers a second, the flames of exiting the atmosphere licking its form.

"Gravity turn engaging, thirty seconds," chirped the A.I. as it prepared the simulated orbit.

"Gravity turn beginning initiation, RCS thrusters online. 90-Degree orbital maneuver." the main computer system's A.I. continued, "Apoapsis 128 Kilometers, circularizing orbit. J.U.M.P. Charging."

Sighing contentedly, Krausk sat back in his captain's chair and gave the go-ahead to the ship. With a roar that probably could be heard in Ponyville, the ship's engines roared to full capacity and began to shoot upward. In only a few minutes, escape velocity had been reached, and the ship was on its way. Krausk quickly started up defensive measures as he prepared to be accosted by Phasetrooper orbit fighters. The cannons went on-line, and targeting systems were fully functional. However… nothing happened. As the ship broke orbit and began to speed away from Equestria Earth, Krausk could very well see the countless Sapphire Armada ships that permeated the system, and all of the other systems in a couple hundred parsec radius (or so the scanners told him) and yet not a single ship had moved to attack.

Krausk was confused, but he did not stop to question these strange events. Instead, he typed in the coordinates Desmond had given him, and prepared for an interdimensional jump. Praying to the high heavens that the experimental jump drive did not explode and kill him like similar drives had done to many of his comrades during the beginning of this whole fiasco, Krausk hit the jump sequence. A massive rip in the time-space continuum exploded forth as the fabric of the dimension was torn apart by the jump drive. Heat emanating off the ugly hole in reality, the portal moved across the bows of the ship as it engulfed Krausk. Energy rippling across the helm, the whole thing disappeared.

Fortunately, there was no explosion, and Krausk suddenly found himself orbiting a lush planet. After running quick planet-wide scans, Krausk found that it was Earth. After running a couple of more scans, Krausk found Abbington Falls.

Now, the only question remaining was how the hell he was going to get down there. All the orbit-to-surface dropships and fighters usually equipped with the vessel he was riding had been destroyed. Perhaps he could try a stratosphere skydive. It might work…

Suddenly a large portal opened up behind Krausk. Seizing his rifle Arev, Krausk whirled around, only to be confronted with Doxia.

Doxia looked at Krausk for a moment, and then said, "You are Admiral Krausk. My buddy Meadolax told me about you. Soooo… this is your ship, right? Would you care to share? Heh. See what I did there? Care to share? It rhymes. Ah, that's rich… Anyway, my name is Doxia. I wonder what rhymes with Doxia…?"

Krausk usually would have told any being rambling like that to shut the hell up, but this was not just any being, this was Doxia. Thus, Krausk held his tinge as Doxia chuckled softly to himself for a moment. Then, Krausk cleared his throat and said, "Well… yes… a, er, space pony by the name of Desmond told me to take my ship to you. He said you would know what to do with it."

Doxia nodded his head amiably. "You bet you well-styled hair that I know what to do with it. Come, follow me through this portal."

Krausk nodded, and, without question, followed Doxia through. In an instant, he found himself in the presence of a large, motley group of heroes.

There was the Ninth Doctor, Sherlock Holmes, Rarity, Jetfire, Wild, Franklin Montgomery, Daniel Dragoon, Evan Funsch, Finnian Jones, Discord, Jared DeWhite, and Mattimeo.

"Waitwaitwaitwaitwait," said Wild in high dudgeon, "You paused our heated conversation to bring us HIM? Who the hell is he, anyway?"

Krausk was about to retort angrily when Doxia said, "Oh him? He is Krausk. He has another interdimensional ship. Thus… our problem is solved."

The room immediately descended into silence. After a moment, Krausk said, "Wait… what? Did I miss a memo or something?"

"Oh, my dear lad," said Finnian Jones happily, "You solved a most bothersome problem. You see, we were in the throes of arguing if we should, with our single interdimensionally travelling ship, either go to destroy the Crystal of Harmony, or if we should go and find Kytax. Now we can do both!"

Krausk blinked. He had no idea what was going on, but he was going to take it at face value anyway.

"Well! Now that we're all good, I suggest we get a move on!" exclaimed Doxia.

"Wait a second!" shouted Krausk, "I have no idea what is going on!"

"Oh, it's simple," said Doxia, "You will take a couple of these awesome guys to Amethyst. Mattimeo will guide you to the Kappa Space Bridge, and you will all jump to the Crystal of Harmony's dimension where you will proceed to destroy it. Jared DeWhite and I will take a couple more guys to the Rerenhaw dimension, where we will signal Kytax. We must hurry, time is of the essence!"

"I'm not taking ANYONE until I know what the hell is going on!" snapped Krausk.

Mattimeo slowly walked up to Krausk and got on one knee. Though Krausk never flinched even in the face of dire danger, he could not suppress a small gulp of apprehension as he literally went face-to-face with a being that could literally end a universe in several seconds.

"You do not need to understand, you just need to act, Admiral Krausk," said Mattimeo in hushed tones, "Actions speak louder than words, and that is all you need to know right now. You may not know us, but that does not mean you need to distrust us. We are on the same side, and now we must act as if we were on the same side. Understand?"

Krausk took a deep breath, and then he nodded.

He motioned to the portal (which was still open) that Doxia had opened that connected his ship to Abbington Falls and said, "Well, I haven't got all day. Are we ready to go?"

Doxia nodded dramatically. "I think most of us are more than ready to go! Sooo… who wants to go blow up Paradox's dreams?!"

Daniel, Jetfire, Discord, and Franklin raised their hands.

"We have four takers!" laughed Doxia, "And who is up to go with Jared and me?"

Rarity and Wild raised their hands (and hooves).

Doxia then glanced curiously at Funsch and Sherlock and the Doctor, who had yet to raise their hands.

"I do not think we will be accompanying you, Doxia," said Sherlock, "We have finished the mystery that I myself wanted to solve, so I suppose we will be on our way."

"And I think it is time I moved on as well," said Funsch, "My job here is done."

"I like how you used the royal 'we'," snorted the Doctor, "However, I suppose Sherlock speaks the truth. We should be on our way."

Doxia nodded his head. "Right-o. So I guess this is goodbye. Of course, I was never good at goodbyes, so I will just say this: 'adios amigos!' Okay… now I'm good. Everyone ready?"

The group nodded their heads. Krausk motioned for his group (Daniel, Franklin, Discord, Jetfire, and Mattimeo) to follow him. In a moment, they entered the portal and it closed with a "pop." Doxia then turned to Jared and said, "Right! You mind opening a portal to where we need to go?"

Jared winked and then opened a portal straight to his lab in the abandoned Winniex hangar. Doxia and his group (Jared, Rarity, and Wild) hopped through this portal, and it too closed with a "pop."

All that was left in the room now was Finnain Jones, Funsch, Sherlock, and the Doctor.

"Well, Finnian, I suppose this is goodbye," said Sherlock. He nodded his head, almost amiably, towards Finnian. He then opened a portal to some unknown location, and prepared to exit through it. The Doctor, however, first extended a hand and said, "Well… goodbye!"

Finnian shook the proffered hand warmly. "Goodbye you two! And do think of stopping by once and a while! I am always ready for friends! I can have a cup of hot mocha and a good book ready for either or both of you in two quacks of a rubber duck!"

The Doctor grinned and then exited through the portal that Sherlock had opened. Sherlock, on the spur of the moment, gave Finnian a roguish grin before he himself exited through the portal. This third portal closed with a "pop."

Finnian then turned to Funsch and smiled. "Well, my friend, it was good to talk to you. You lead a dangerous life, so all I can say is watch your backs. Goodbye."

Funsch nodded wordlessly and opened a portal. Then he stepped through it. Yet again, another "pop" resounded as the opening in dimensional fabric slammed shut.

Four pops, and Finnian Jones went back to his regular life.

Sighing contentedly, Finnian went to the Exploratorium to dust a couple hundred bookshelves and catalog countless stories of heroes and villains.

"Okay, so we need to just start this up…" muttered Jared to himself as he quickly made last-minute adjustments to the Winniex Ship.

"I really hope you know what you are doing," said Wild sharply, "I don't want there to be an uncontainable hull breach. It would suck if we all died suddenly, a moment away from victory."

"Please, you're with me, kiddo," snorted Doxia, "There are about two billion six million and eighty-seven ways I could save you all from dying if there was a hull breach. Thus, no worries. You just have to worry that I cannot make up my mind which of those solutions to that problem would be the coolest on the spur of the moment."

Rarity tittered a little bit, and then resigned to quietly smiling. Though she had done almost nothing as a Dimensional Traveler, she enjoyed every minute of being a human.

"Right, well, we're almost ready… there!" exclaimed Jared triumphantly. He took a step back and looked over his handy-work: a fully functional interdimensionally travelling spaceship.

"Nicely done Jared!" exclaimed Doxia happily, "This is a nice break from you trying to invent all of those weird gadgets designed to prove that the President was a bug-eyed alien from Venus!"

Jared muttered something unintelligible about there being documents catalogued in Area 51, but did not respond truly to the friendly jab.

Wild sighed and said, "Well? Are we going to start?"

"Ah yes, the integral part of this whole party," said Doxia, pulling out the contained of Imagination Energy extracted from the Edinium in a way similar to Pinkie Pie pulling out her party cannon from nowhere.

"Now, let us see if this bad boy works!" continued Doxia as he strolled into the Winniex Ship and into the engine room. He quickly opened the Delux Coojon-Core Dimensional Warp Drive's contained door and began to inspect the insides. After a moment, Doxia began to adjust things within the drive at an incredible speed. Hands moving faster than any eye could move, Doxia conjured up tools out of thin air as he worked on the drive's interior. In less than a minute, Doxia had reconfigured the inside of the extremely advanced drive to facilitate the Edinium-drawn Imagination Energy. Taking the container holding said energy, Doxia pushed it inside, and slammed the door triumphantly.

"We're all good to go!" Doxia said gleefully, "Now we can go meet my old buddy Kytax!"

"So, how are we planning to approach this?" said Discord airily as he draped himself nonchalantly across the gunner's chair at the helm.

"How the hell should I know?" snapped Krausk, "Ask Mattimeo! He's the super being thingy after all!"

"I have an answer for that, Discord," said Mattimeo emotionlessly, "Since the Amethyst Armada is blockading the Infernal Realm, and the Sapphire Armada is blockading the Harmony Tree dimension, it is safe to assume that little to no ships are guarding the Amethyst dimension. After all, all ships are supposedly controlled by the Enigma Empire, and there is a Phantom Device is place. Thus, the Paradox will see very little use in guarding it. We will simply entered the dimension, fly straight to the Kappa Space Bridge – I will point out its location once we arrive – and we will proceed to use the Space Bridge to teleport straight to the dimension holding the Crystal of Harmony. Now all we need is a landing team that will disable the Crystal."

"I will do it," said Daniel Dragoon quietly, "I will do it alone. Just in case."

Franklin opened his mouth to argue, but Mattimeo said, "I commend that idea. The Crystal should be treated like a bomb, thus, disabling the Crystal should be treated as if we were disabling a bomb. So, we will send in only one person. Daniel Dragoon, I have confidence that you will be safe, so I agree to your offer."

Franklin sighed. "I second that. Though I would like to go with you, Mattimeo has a point. If you insist on going alone, it would perhaps be the best. But if there is a single sign of trouble, even the faintest idea that there is a Phasetrooper or some other hostile present, and I will be down there by your side, no matter what anyone says."

"Okay," said Krausk, "Now that we have that sorted out… Where to?"

Mattimeo raised a hand and snapped a finger. Suddenly the information required to jump to the Amethyst Dimension through the Phantom Device filled the helm of the ship.

"Forward unto dawn," muttered Krausk as he confirmed the coordinates.

Note: I am not going to post anything tomorrow. It is not because I don't have anything to post, it is because the next chapter has a really nasty cliffhanger that I would not want you guys to endure over the weekend. Thus, we will just end early this week, and we can plow straight through to the part 5 finale. Thank you for your patience!
