Prologue , Part 3 : Captains, Meeting of .
Once they finished their drinks, Hilda checked her watch, before leading him out of the Pub.
"So whatever happened to your old crew?" Gene asked, as they walked down the busy path. Shops and vendors were set up everywhere... not all of them selling... legal things.
"They died," Hilda calmly informed.
Gene blanched.
"Don't worry," Hilda smirked. "They'll get better... I'll see to that."
They approached a shabby restaurant. Although all shops looked dirty and shabby, on this station. The notable thing, about this restaurant, was they made them stuff their weapons in a locker. Taking the key with them.
Gene was hesitant to give up his Caster, but a look from Hilda was all he needed to convince him.
Walking down the stairs, to the main floor, Hilda approached a large booth... with a notable man sitting there.
"You're Malcolm Reynolds!" Gene couldn't stop himself from exclaiming. Even Gene had heard of this guy. Public Schools covered how he exposed the corruption in his Government, before leading a Rebellion to topple it.
Unfortunately, Mal rolled his eyes. Looking at Hilda, he acknowledged, "It's not like you to tolerate green horns."
Hilda shrugged, taking a seat. "He's got a few hidden tricks, makes it worth the effort of teaching him."
There were a few other men sitting with him. Such as a tall/skinny man, in a pinstripe suit... and a balding, even skinnier man, in archaeologist attire.
Jean Luc Picard, former Starfleet officer... and current freelance explorer... could only sigh, as he looked at the "young" woman. "I was sorry to hear about your crew," He acknowledged... "But do you really think this is the way?"
"Wouldn't you do the same for any of yours?" Hilda gave her usual smirk... but this time, it didn't reach her eyes.
"That's not it," The Doctor sighed. "Hilda, they had their very souls destroyed. There is no recovering from that. The reason they didn't respawn with you, is because they no longer exist. You need to accept they are gone."
Hilda suddenly wished Gene wasn't here. These men had raised her... they were some of the few people she could allow herself to feel vulnerable with.
"None of the eternal dragons had any luck. The Galactic Layline will be no different," The Doctor insisted. "Wishing magic has limits."
Gene blinked. "Wishing Magic?" he asked. "I thought the Galactic Layline was just some kind of treasure vault?"
Hilda eyed him, "Wanna back out?"
Gene smirked, "I wouldn't mind a few wishes, but are you sure this thing is benevolent, and not some kind of monkey's paw."
A messy haired teenager, suddenly took a seat. As he explained, "It works like the Dragon Balls, through keylines. Meaning it's very nature is morally neutral. But it will give you what you want, exactly as you want it."
"Harry," Hilda nodded at the young man.
"And how would you know?" Gene glared.
The young man just smiled, "Because I helped build it. Over 6 billion years ago."
Gene blinked, staring at the boy. "You really think I'm THAT gullible?"
Hilda laughed. While Harry just shrugged.
The boy then explained, "I've been out of the Galactic scene for a spell. The Leviathans sealed the Rift into this Dimension, and I got trapped on the other side."
Gene could only stare at the kid... a sense of terror coursing through him... "You're a pony?" He dared asked. But before the boy could deny it, and explain himself...
"Hilda!!!"
Gene gaped as something equally terrifying entered the room. A tiny Equine charged through the bar. Coming straight towards their table.
The young ginger almost grabbed his gun, purely on reflex, only to find it wasn't there.
Suppose it was a good thing he didn't have his gun. It wouldn't do to break the only rule in a free town. A stray bullet could crack a seal of the space station they were on.
Hilda seemed to notice how tense the "space cherry" was, and placed a hand on his shoulder. Obviously to reassure Gene they weren't in danger.
The pony continued to run over to them. An infectious smile on it's face.
It was a pastel orange, with small wings, and a purple mane. She was only a little bigger then Jim, yet was clearly fully grown. These types of ponies never did grow any bigger then a great dane.
Gene gulped. He had heard about these creatures. Supposedly they were overpowered war machines, with the awareness of young children. Because of this, the Space Forces tended to treat them with kid gloves, made of titanium.
A single civilian pony, could easily best a platoon of highly trained space marines, with minimal effort. However, even more terrifying, they couldn't comprehend how powerful they were, nor why other creatures were wary around them...
Although, from what Gene had heard, they were also extremely cuddly, living plush toys. Wanting to "be friends" with everyone they met. With boundary issues that rival a Silgrian.
Ponies were a prey race, that were living in a universe were barely anything could rival them, much less hurt them. Yet they were still jumpy and naive.
Jim would probably jump for joy, if he met this little filly. But Gene was worried letting him near the mare. Ponies were danger wrapped in cutesy floof.
"Scootaloo," Hilda acknowledged. As the pony reached them, and immediately started nuzzling the more seasoned outlaw.
"Hilda!" Exclaimed the pony, again. Before looking at Reynolds. "Mal!" giving him a nuzzle as well. Then moving into the Harry's personal space. Giving him a full-on kiss.
Then just looked at Gene, offering him no nuzzles. "Who the buck are you?" asked the pony.
But before Gene could answer, the gods damned Lord Marshal stepped into the bar. Emperor of that wacked out group of murdering cultists.
Richard B. Riddick, took a seat at the table. He had revamped the religion, to work in cooperation with the god of destruction, Beerus... they mostly targetted threats to the universe... but many of the planets they destroyed, weren't that bad... they just had the potential to go bad. His trade was still genocide, masked behind "God's Plan".
"Riddick!" Mal smiled, as if the killer of trillions was an old friend. "How's Jack?"
"Upset I wouldn't let her come to this meeting... Speaking of..." The mass murderer's glowing eyes turned to Gene.
The young Outlaw did his best not to cower away. "Hilda wants to make sure her new Technomancer doesn't wander off, So she's keeping me close.
"Technomancer, huh?" Riddick smiled... a grin that made Gene wanna keep Jim as far away from this psycho as possible.
Hilda eyed Gene a moment, as if he wasn't supposed to know that was the reason, but it was kinda obvious.
Whatever Hilda wanted. It involved Jim. He was the reason she first tried to kill Gene, and kidnap the boy. And only after that didn't work, did she try to make them both crew... Gene had to admit, he was a liability. His only use was as Jim's nanny.
Harry frowned, "You collecting Quirks again?" He asked, with a good deal of concern. "Thought you would have learned to stay away from that kinda shite."
Hilda eyed Gene, "I need a Technomancer, to keep the Bio-Android in repair."
Harry sighed, "I suppose, but still, taking on someone like that will get you noticed. There are enough mortals trying to kill you. Do you really wanna take on gods?"
"That's what I have you for," Hilda smirked.
Harry groaned, "I don't exactly have time to run interference, between you and whatever deity you piss off. I came here out of respect for our friendship."
Harry Continued, "But I'm not willing to go with you. You're hunting for one of the most powerful wish granting artifacts in existence. You have any idea how dangerous it be, for someone of my power level, to accompany you? My benefactor, sure as his hell, wouldn't tolerate it."
"Harry..." Hilda sighed. "I need this... my crew... their your friends to."
Harry groaned, pinching the bridge of his nose, in a manner similar to his Magical Guardian. Before insisting, while his eyes where screwed shut. "I'm sorry Hilda, but not even the Leyline can restore a shattered soul. I know the limits of my device."
Hilda looked down.
"It's a machine," Harry insisted. "Might be the most powerful piece of techno magic, I ever built, but the damage done to our friends is too great. Omniva, herself, couldn't restore them."
Hilda said nothing merely processing this.
"Ignoring that for the moment," Riddick spoke up. "We now have access to the XGP, the coordinates to the Leyline, and most importantly, The Bio-Android navigation system. We've come too far, to stop now."
Scootaloo agreed, "The Space Forces are already cross with us. Even if they haven't put out any warrants for our arrest, that's only because they don't want a connection between them, and the pirates."
"Wait a Minute," Gene eyed Hilda. "It's a Space Forces ship you were talking about."
"No," Hilda neutrally informed. But said nothing else.
So the Pony took it on herself to explain. "It was built by the pirates, with funding from Starfleet. On the condition they received the blue prints to build more. The ship is such a powerful piece of Technomagic, it requires an Android to act as the Navigation computer... or, at least, a decently skilled Technomancer."
Gene eyed Hilda, "That's why you wanted Jim, to act as some secondary computer."
Hilda shrugged, "There are few reasons. But it doesn't hurt to have a backup." showing no regret. "Regardless, the Space forces still have the first XGP model. They merely gave the pirates the second. That's the one I stole."
Riddick explained, as he did like explaining things. "The pirates constructed, Malfina's secondary programming, in secret. The Space Forces only became aware of the Galactic Leyline, after we stole the ship. It had already been handed over, to a pirate Starship Carrier. It was rather fun storming it."
"Starfleet gave it to the pirates," Hilda assured Gene. "So the Space Forces won't be obligated to reclaim it."
Harry suddenly roared. "The bloody Catrl-Catrl, the Frost Demons, and a bakers dozen other Inter-Galactic governments, are now after the Leyline! This little pleasure cruise of yours, could risk plunging the entire universe into War.
"And now you ask me, no EXPECT ME, to accompany you on some hair brain scheme! That won't even do what you originally wanted it to!"
"Yes Harry... that's exactly what I expect," Hilda calmly informed.
Harry groaned, ruffling his own hair, in agitation.
"Fine! You gods damn bitch! I'll help. Bloody saving people compulsion." Harry grumbled.
"Once we make our wishes," Hilda reminded. "The Leyline will return to subspace, for another thousand years. There will be nothing to fight over. No one WANTS a war."
"Hum," Everyone turned to Scootaloo. "Why don't we just work together?" The Outlaws just looked at her. "I'm serious. We invite the leaders, of every Government, and we make our wishes, along with them. This way, no government gains an advantage over the other. We can even wish all the pirates into the penny colonies."
"Wishing them dead would be easier." Hilda sneered.
Harry glared, "The Ponies don't condone the Death Penalty, outside the most extreme cases. I'm talking genocide, and nothing short of that."
Riddick finally spoke up. "Even the planets I destroy, are the more dangerous ones. The civilizations that threaten the rest of the universe."
Mal snorted, "Even the bloody Irkens wrote out a peace treaty, out of fear of the Necromangers."
Gene... felt numb... as he left the restaurant with Hilda. "...Did I just meet the God Emperor of Mankind?"
"I was wondering why you suddenly shut up," Hilda smirked. "No, Harry isn't the Emperor. But he is something close to him. Don't worry. He won't smite you... just... try not to irritate him. He's got a hell of a temper."
Gene shook his head, "So what now?"
"Now?" Hilda eyed him. "While my friends are getting ready, we'll expand my crew." it be the first step in admitting my friends are truly gone.
Spoilers for my story,

• The crew does end up helping the Doctor free the alien.
• The Doctor gives Mal a children's toy, that looks like an alien, that is programmed to move and talk. So Mal can sell that to his client. Who doesn't realize it's just a Virtual Intelligence, children's toy. Not even a true AI.

The Leader just laughs it off, and Mal is able to calm Simon down, by reminding him of all the men with guns around them.
• Simon treats the leader, while cursing him.
• When Simon and Mal are leaving, The leader offers a job for Mal to smuggle something for him, assuring the Captain it's not people. Mal accepts, but before they leave, The leader advises Mal to "Take his little brother in hand, before his idealism offends the wrong person". Which Mal teases Simon about. After explaining the Man meant giving Simon a spanking.
• After Serenity departs, and Mal confirms the smuggling job has nothing to do with people, they discover an escaped slave has stowed away on their ship. A girl a little younger then Jack, named "Hilda", (the origin story of the character from "Outlaw Star"). Mal, not wanting to alienate the Leader, but also not wanting to condemn the kid to slavery, pays for the child. Then gives her a job as an apprentice onboard his ship. Including the same salary as the other apprentices.
• After a typical Firefly "Job gone wrong", Mal ends up giving Simon his first spanking, for running off the ship and into a trap. Mal gives Simon a heartfelt speech, and acknowledges that he really does see Simon as an annoying little brother, and that the punishment was done in that spirit.

• Simon is mad when he learns Mal also spanked River, but River explains he can't have it both ways. If Simon likes Mal thinking of him as Family, and left River in his care, then he can't complain when Mal decides to correct her own misbehavior. Mal was right. If River gets in the habit of lying about her visions, then Mal can't trust any of them. Simon really doesn't like it, but concedes if he views Mal as family, that comes with some downsides.

• Picard continues his investigation, and discovers the Reavers have a rare gene, that causes their body to mutate, when exposed to the Drug the Alliance used. It's only 1 in 10,000. So the Alliances didn't see the reaction in their own field test.
The Reavers are apparently incapable of reproducing, and will only live for 20 more years, in addition to their savagery, they are a parasitical race. Which will inevitably wipe out the "host", meaning all life in the Galaxy.
• The Reavers, during Picard's investigations, send thousands of ships after Picard, but his own Ship, the Enterprise, is easily able to out run them. However this causes the fleet of Reavers, to turn their eyes on a large fishing world.

He also creates his own space station. That can psychically link to ships. Growing a private dock, for every vessel linked. As well as creating a portal, between each Ship and their dock.

Marauders' Timeline:
• During their 5th year, Sirius' prank goes horribly wrong. Resulting in Lily's death... but she doesn't stay dead, as her Time Lord genes awaken, and heals her injuries. she remembers she is actually Susan (The Doctor's Granddaughter) from the main universe.
Lily, armed with Susan's memories, makes James apologize for tormenting Snape.
• James tells Snape he's researching, to become an animagus... and Remus tells him he's a werewolf. And Animagi can't be infected, and can fulfill a Werewolf's pack instinct.
The Animagus ritual, requires a complicated potion, that needs a drop of blood from the animal you want to become.
Along with runes, placed all over the person's naked body, whom then takes the potion, during a thunderstorm
Snape volunteers to brew the potions, for all of them, but warns that the more magically powerful the animal, the more painful the ritual, in addition to being more dangerous. Snape is even able to get various magical blood samples, through his brewery connections... and James insists on paying for everyone.
Snape brings Lily, and Lucius, into their group, although they both insist they get ministry approval.
The ministry test, is impressed by the potions, although insisted on drawing the runes, himself.
Lucius becomes a Basilisk. While Snape becomes a winged serpent, called a "Couatl"... and James becomes a Griffin. Sirius a hell hound. Lily becomes a Thestral. Where Peter insist on becoming an ordinary rat, as it's the least painful transformation.
Which his friends tease the hell out of him for... until they wake up in the hospital, and learn the med-witch had to remove their memories of the ritual, because the pain caused their sanity to slip, and they needed to reverse the damage.
• After graduation, Lily and Snape become unspeakables.
• Lily creates a blood magic ritual, to make Petunia beautiful. But it requires the person to have magic.
So Snape succeeds, where potion masters have failed for thousands of years. He develops a potion, to treat magical blockage in squibs. Unfortunately, though easy to brew, this potion requires a high number of rare/expensive ingredients. It's enough for Petunia... but for the most part, only the rich can afford it.
• Dumbledore convinces Snape to publish his potion. Even if the Potion can't give magic, just strengthen and clean existing pathways.
• Lily expanded on the idea of "Time Turners", creating a device to push a room outside time. While putting the occupants in temporal stasis, so they don't age, or even need to eat or use the bathroom. With a minute, in the parent universe, actually being an hour, in the Temporal Pocket, once the room's doors close.
A number of rec areas, and even clubs, are also fitted with this rune. So students can rest, play, and study, without being overwhelmed by their large work loads. To play all kinds of games and various sports, set up as temporal pockets, within many of the larger rooms. So the children can have more activities and clubs, then just school work and getting into mischief.
Lily then removes Voldemort's curse, on the Defense Class. All for free, on the condition the Board of Governors use the extra class time, to teach more classes.
Adding: Math, the various Sciences, and literature. She even got them to update muggle studies (with a Muggle born teacher), while adding a "Wizarding Etiquette" class. Plus expanding History to teach all Global events (while firing the Ghost that taught it), and Magical Social Studies (teaching the cultures of all magical beings).
This is all funded by the various companies, the Potters and Malfoys own. With Lucius Malfoy acting as CEO of all Potter Companies, as James doesn't really have a head for business.
• Lucius still joins Voldemort... until he learns the mad man is hunting Tenza... and Lucius son, unknown to Voldemort, is actually a Tenza... Lucius starts feeding information to the Unspeakables, and sabotaging Voldemort from the inside.
• Lily "Susan" Evans marries James Potter, but Lily fears Harry Potter will never be born. As Time Lords can't reproduce with Wizards, and her Time Lord genes weren't supposed to be activated until after Harry was born.
The Draconequus, Discord, steps in, sending a Tenza egg to Lily. To be born as this universe's "Harold Severus Potter".
• Snape marries Lucius, as wizards have had gay marriage for hundreds of years. As Wizarding males can get pregnant. However, Draco is, in reality, another Tenza.
• Years Later, Voldemort is at the height of his power, but wants more, so he takes to tracking down Tenza babies, and absorbing their magical energies. Subsequently, killing the children.
• Peter Pettigrew is Lily's Spy, joining Voldemort on her insistence. With one of the "secrets" Lily has Peter tell the man, is a Prophecy of someone who will one day kill Voldemort, and tricks him into targeting her son, "Harold Severus Potter".
Sirius is aware Peter is a spy, and Lily made sure to explain the plan to him, as well as the Lupin Pack... with the Lupin pack asked to make sure Sirius doesn't do anything crazy.
• It takes Lily a year to craft a number of rituals and runes, but she soon gives Peter the go ahead, to tell the Dark Lord where they are. Lily tries to keep James away, but he chooses to die by her side.
• Lily "Susan" Potter, activates Harry's protections. All fueled by her death. Unfortunately, this means she won't be able to reincarnate herself again. Susan, and her husband James, die that night.
• Harry is adopted by Petunia, who married a muggle scientist, and Harry grows up in a loving home, learning about the various sciences, as well as Magic. Dudley was still born, and rather then being an overly spoiled brat, is quite the protective brother for Harry.
Snape frequently visits, and occasionally takes Harry on outings into the magical world. All while explaining everything about magic. As well as, teaching Harry the finer points of politics, and wizard's etiquette, which Harry will need when he inherits his lordship.

Where Harry is sorted into Hufflepuff, and makes friends across all houses, while exploring and combining magic with the Sciences. Although the keyplot points still happen. Up until the moment Dumbledore gets Voldemort in front of the Mirror.
• Harry, Voldemort, Dumbledore, and Quirrell, are transported to the Equus Verse. Where Voldemort is a Thestral, Dumbledore is a goat, Quirrell is a deer, and Harry is a Draconequus Foal. All appearing outside a the magic mirror, in the Castle of Friendship's vaults.

Harry's tiny legs were hooved. With a furry yellow leg, of a pony, with a black hoof, and black splotches. Then a blue furred deer leg, with a bronze cloven hoof, and bronze foal-like dots on his thigh.
Then one of his arms ended in a dragon claw, a scaly green color, with silver underside, and silver claws. While his other arm was fox like. With dexterous fingers, though still paw-like, on a red furry arm, then a golden forearm and arm pit. He had a Thestral wing, as well as a Dragon wing.
His head was more like an Equestrian pony's, round with a severely shortened snout. With one long fang. A short and unruly black mane. And a lightning bolt scar, above his right eye, which is actually the rune.
Then a slightly curved, short goat horn, and a deer fawn's nub, for horns.
His body was long and skinny, much like Eastern Dragons, but covered in fur, with a scaly underbelly. With a similar tail.
His head and long neck, had a pale greyish blue fur, with cream scales for his lower jaw and throat. While his long body was brown, with a rose red scaly underbelly. Then his tail had black fur, with gold scales, and a white tuff of fur at the tip, like a lions.
• A fight immediately breaks out between the 4 transformed wizards. With the Royal Guard stopping them.
• Luna, the pony Princess of the Night, is summoned to interview the 4 Inter-dimensional beings.
Luna learns Voldemort is a villain unlike any Equus has ever known. So she puts a magic suppressor on him, and begins work on reforming him, as is the pony way.
While taking all 4 back to Canterlot. As Luna explains they have no idea which dimension the 4 came from, so it be "Foal-ish" to try to go back the way they came. As the Portal is linked to all dimensions of the Leyline, they need coordinates.
• Harry is curious about Voldemort, and more importantly the idea of reforming him, and decides to help.
• Voldemort later learns Luna, herself, is a reformed villain. As her mind was corrupted by Dark Magic.
She believes something similar has happened to the transformed Thestral. As his soul is badly damaged, which shattered his ability to feel empathy. Combine that with Voldemort's own tragic childhood. And it's a miracle the Stallion is as well adjusted as he is.
Luna stresses Voldemort is not insane, as his ability to reason is perfectly in place... but his soul is so corrupt, he can't be held responsible for his actions... as it stopped being a choice long ago.
• Luna called Twilight and the Bearers of Harmony, and they use the combined might of their "Rainbow Powers", they gained from the tree of Harmony, to regrow Voldemort's soul... to which, "Tom" (Voldemort's real name) starts weeping at all he has done.
• Tom slowly recovers, which takes over a year of Luna's therapy sessions.
• Meanwhile, Twilight has been working on a way to track the wizards home dimension. Finally able to find it, and Sending them back through the mirror.
• When the wizards return home, not a second has passed between worlds, and they have reverted to their human forms. Having not aged a day since they left.
• Soon there after, Celestia, the ruling "Princess", negotiates trade and an exchange of knowledge. In the form of exchange students.
Summer before 2nd Year :
• Twilight creates a ritual, to give wizards a Pony form. Including pony Subspecies, and any hooved races. This form is in addition to their Animagus form. Which Twilight also creates a less intense ritual for.
With the Ponification Ritual, depending more on personality, and innate magical ability, as to what pony tribe the wizard will become. As opposed to what they might have wanted. Even Squibs can be put through this ritual, and can transform at will... but not muggles.
• Tom delivers himself to the Ministry, to face punishment for his crimes, and deliver memories of all the Death Eaters, and their actions... expecting Azkaban, but Dumbledore explains to the Lords, about the Dark Magic taint, and manages to grant him a pardon, for exposing the corruption in the Ministry. As the Memories got all the Lords, whom were Death Eaters, arrested.
• Scootaloo is revealed to have deformities, in the magical pathways of her wings, making it so she can't ever fly.
• Celestia sends hundreds of the best teachers in Equus, to Hogwarts, whom prepare for next term. Where they will be teaching most of their subjects, as electives, to willing Hogwarts students.
The Magical Crafts, Theory, and Spell Casting Professors, will teach in coordination with the Hogwarts staff, as lab assistants. When they aren't teaching, the two worlds' professors, are to work with each other, and try to find ways to combine their fields. Then teach that to the students.
While the Equus electives will be: the various Sciences, Equus History (going over all 200 continents), and Tribe Powers (For students who have an Equus form. While each race of Equus, has their own unique class, with a professor of that race, to teach their unique powers).
All this doubles the children's work load. But the Wizards temporal pockets, make it no big deal. With children not even getting sleepy from working in the room.
• Without the Death Eaters in the Wizarding Ministry, as they held a large amount of political power, Starlight Glimmer is able to move forward. Rallying the wizards, through their main press outlet, which she purchased with Equestrian gems.
• Starlight is able to get muggle born, whom were descendants of Squibs from powerful families, to reclaim their family wealth and titles. Ruling them all from the shadows.
• Lucius, for Business reasons, writes up a marriage contract between Draco and Diamond Tiara. Marrying his son off, to be the trophy husband of the filly and her herd-mate.
• Princess Luna teaches all werewolves of Earth, to embrace what she calls their "gift". Allowing the Werewolves to keep their minds, without need of a potion. As well as how to turn at will, without pain. To live in Harmony, with the wolf inside them.
• Sirius sleeps with Princess Twilight Sparkle, and so their magic recognizes them as married. An unforeseen side effect of the Pony magic mingling with wizards.
• Feeling bad about not sharing her husband, in a proper herd, Twilight introduces Sirius to Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie... and Sirius, being Sirius, "mate" that very night. The ministry, and their family tapestry, immediately recognize them all as married.
• A Slytherin student, Daphne Greengrass, takes her little sister, Astoria, to a shop in Diagon Alley, where ponies are selling the ritual procedure. As the various Subponies, hope to get new blood into their tribes.
However, Astoria reacts badly to the ritual, due to her blood curse, and she nearly dies. The Royal Guards, who are running the store, are able to stabilize her, before bringing the family to Ponyville hospital to be treated. Where, much to the family's amazement, the ponies are able to treat the blood curse. Even cure it.
• Daphne goes to stay with Rarity, while her sister is being treated. However, when the family comes to reclaim their daughter, a misunderstanding occurs with the Greengrass parents, and Rarity thinks they are courting her. When this is revealed, after much embarrassment, the Greengrass realize they don't mind the idea of entering a "Herd" with Rarity.
• Discord giggles with delight at all the chaos being unleashed, and it is revealed he made the mirror portal. As he was once the Stallion "Starswirl", the Equus Verse cosmic counterpart to the Doctor (So Discord is a lesser version of Q).
Discord explains, He was once a Time Pony mage, whose rituals turned him into this Abomination, while unlocking true godhood. That he was the one to bring Time Turner to their dimension, and he is the reason the ponies never had to face apocalypse creating Daleks.
Discord has been working with the gods of Chaos, Choice (AKA "Free Will"), and even Justice, on both sides of the portal, to manipulate things.
• Scootaloo confesses to her friends, she is really a changeling. Thet that's the reason she doesn't have parents. As her mother is really a Queen, who has nothing to do with her children outside ruling them, and Scootaloo was sent out to harvest love years ago, when she was just a small grub.
That Rainbow Dash knows all this, and adopted her anyway. With Dash being determined to give Scootaloo a proper pony childhood... Scootaloo's hive doesn't mind, as She still sends most of the love she gathers back. And it's not even the first time a Pony discovered a changeling grub, and adopted them.
Scootaloo isn't the same type of Changeling, as Chrysalis, as each Queen is born as a different species of bug, but they lay eggs of that species.
Scootaloo looks a little like Chrysalis, as she has a horn, transparent wings, and fangs. However, she doesn't have holes, with a dark orange Exoskeleton, and a spider web like mess for a mane and tail...
Although, she, like most Changelings, doesn't actually have a gender. So she is not really a "She", but more of an "it" and doesn't really mind being called that. But prefers "She".
Only one royal egg is born out of a million, with each Queen being a unique species of bug horse. There are a few thousand hives, with usually only one per country.
But in recent years, there are no more countries uninhabited by changelings, so the queens have been trying to coexist in the same nation... often failing, with war breaking out.
Chrysalis wasn't actually rounding up ponies, when she attacked Canterlot, but rather she was trying to isolate the members of Scootaloo's hive, that had encroached on her territory.
Twilight Sparkle, had recently learned about the secret war going on in Equestria. And managed to get the two kinds of changelings to have a sit down, and write out a peace treaty. Both groups were being recognized as proper citizens... and Rainbow thought it best if Scootaloo came clean to their friends, before the official announcement.
• Applebloom reveals she was recently turned into a ghoul, due to being cursed by a town of them in the Everfree forest. That she is now an undead pony, with her bow having an enchantment, to make her body less fragile, and look more alive.
• Then Sweetie Belle reveals she is actually a "Clockwork". A race of techno magic robots, that still function much like organic ponies. As they still need to eat and pee, have magic of their own, and can even reproduce, even self repair as if instantly healing.
That the Clockworks were created by the Time Ponies, millions of years ago, just because they could, although they were always treated as proper citizens, and never used for slave labor.
That Rarity, and Sweetie's parents, are also Clockworks. But they all have Hologram projectors. To give themselves a more organic-like appearance.
• The Crusaders all celebrate that each of them is immortal, and they'll never be separated. Then realize Spike is also immortal, being a dragon and all... and so is Harry Potter.
2nd Year :
• 10 thousand of Equestria's best and brightest foals, are selected to go to Earth's various magic schools. However, other students have their parents pay for the privilege. Such as Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, Dinky Hooves, Rumble, Button Mash, and hundreds more.

• Sweetie Belle is discovered by an Earth Unicorn mare, who decides to adopt the filly. Philomena, Celestia's pet Phoenix, later forms a familiar bond with Sweetie Belle. Which Celestia explains to the filly, the Phoenix is prone to do, given Philomena can't bond with Celestia, due to the Alicorn's connection to the Son.
• Draco's herd stumble into the Chamber of Secrets, and Diamond befriends the Basilisk. With it shrinking down, to travel the school with her, as Diamond's familiar.
• As the 3 months of school go by, Snape gets to know Zecora, and begins to fall in love with her. To the point he discusses the possibility of her becoming a wife for Lucius. As Wizards have their own idea of legal poly relationships. To which the wizards agree to try dating.
They soon end up sleeping together, but it isn't for a couple weeks, before they learn their magic bound them as a married couple. Zecora, not wanting to keep the "Stallions" to herself, introduces them to Applejack, and a Bat pony guard the Zebra is friends with. It takes the entire year, before the mares can convince the wizards to form a herd with them.
• Draco gets more used to being a "Trophy Colt" and finds he enjoys not only Diamond's cunning, but the way she pampers him.
• A Changeling named "Elly", is exiled to the Outlaw Verse. As she is a changeling queen, and the other Queens of Equestria don't want to share their territory. Chrysalis gives the young moss-ling, her broodmates, to help her developing hive, but that is the end of her support.
Dumbledore is told of Elly, and ask Petunia to care for her. Giving Harry and Dudley a new playmate.
After some discussion with his herdmates, Harry invites Elly to join.
• On further discussion with his herd, Luna Lovegood is added as well. As Harry feels protective of her. Due to how she is being bullied by her Ravenclaw Housemates.
• Twilight steps in, saying 5 Mares is far too many for one Stallion. That when their herd grows up, Harry won't be able to keep up. That they need to add at least 1 more colt to their herd, to be legally recognized.
Harry's herd respond to this, by asking Neville if he would like to join, but they do so over breakfast, in the great hall. This results in the other Gryffindor 2nd years asking if they can join to... Twilight is shocked they are able to build such a large herd, with so many Stallions. Not even minding that they ended up adding more girls.
Daphne Greengrass ends up joining Harry's Herd, as well.
The boys are Harry Potter, Ronald Weasley, Neville Longbottom, Dean Thomas, and Seamus Finnigan. While the girls are Hermione Granger, Ginny Weasley, Lavanda Brown, Parvati Patil, Luna Lovegood, Elly de Ripp, Daphne Greengrass, Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo.
• Starlight is found by the ponies, helping rebuild / reshape the wizarding government. Twilight manages to convince her to abandon her plans to conquer Earth, and Starlight becomes Twilight's first true "Student of Friendship".
• Spike meets Thorax, a deserter changeling of Chrysalis Hive, and befriends him. Even getting the Crystal Empire to accept the young ling, as a citizen.
• Voldemort's diary consumes the soul of a Slytherin Child, and teen Tom Riddle leaves the castle. None the Wiser.

• Voldemort attacks the ministry, with modified magical guns, the ponies were working on with UNIT.
• Celestia quickly sends aid... to which was revealed to be a ploy. As Voldemort uses the distraction, to destroy the Equus portals around the world.
