"There has to be another way to take care of this freak monster." Copper said to himself before seeing J run towards Dr. Fusion. "J! No! I dunno what you're doing, but if it's what I think it is, I don't think it's worth it!"

N only shook his head. "J's on the operating table. It is too late, Cyn is taking care of her. Watch out for oil spills! They are really deadly!"

"Hi Sonic! Been a bit. Oh? Who's the fox? And you have two tails? I'm jealous."

"It has! Copper, this is Tails! My Best Buddy Forever!"

"What- What are you??"

[the-starry-traveller]

"...It's done." Copper breathed a sigh of relief. "Hey Empress... sorry about any trouble I may have caused. This war was way above my pay grade and I didn't adjust quickly.

"With that said, I'm more than happy to help with rebuilding and recovery since the war is over, before I head back to my Equestria."

I see...

"Both of you say that, but wait until you step out of the bunkers... Don't forget to collect supplies!"

Twilight points them to the first-aid tent near the palace where Starlight is.

"Welcome to Tartarus, boys. The Capital City of Canterlot lies in flames and ruin. Every inch, every corner, chaos awaits! Also, Canterlot houses like 300,000 creatures, a medium city size. Starlight will show you some training."

It's a harmless prank. Literally. No one gets hurt. They just fall off the eyes when they open and onto the ground.

"I know that, but it doesn't make the pictures prior to waking up less embarrassing."

"Also, hey, Copper. Been a while."

[cutesthuntrixmaknae]

"Woohoo!"

A blue pony was in a free fall in the sky after hopping through a portal in his world. He used his cloak as a glider and started to glide to a safe spot in the city.

Once he touched down, he looked around, seeing a bunch of humans looking at the pony curiously. "Okay... bipetal world." he immediately assumed to himself with a soft nod. He was getting used to knowing which specific world was what.

Zoey was out on stage as the closing crews were packing up from their latest performance. Zoey was on stage, writing out lyrics for their next album while the other two had gone backstage to get ready to go home. She was about to get up and leave when a pony of all things glided from the sky and landed in front of not just herself but the stagehands and remaining fans still around.

"Um okay that's not normal." Of course that wasn't something coming lightly since Zoey was used to seeing and fighting demons, and definitely not normal for the other people around who didn't even know that demons existed.

"..." Copper looked at his new surroundings after arriving through an inter-dimensional portal. "I have to assume they didn't just send me to a different part of Equestria." the blue pony said. "Almost every Equestria is the same... ALMOST."

Then he spotted Stellar, removing the hoodie of his cloak before approaching. "Huh, I remember seeing you somewhere. Don't think we've properly met. Name's Copper Strikes, Mercenary from the Smokey Mountains."

Well, it was certainly... different. It still sort of looked like Ponyville, but only really in aesthetic. The technology level is MASSIVELY jacked up from the original canon, bordering on sci-fi. There were even cars! In this small town! And roads to go with them! Thankfully though, everything was designed to be walkable.

Though... there wasn't the smell of gasoline.

Or petrol, depends where you're from. Regardless, they have a different fuel source.

Indeed, Stellar was just relaxing at the park, very close to where Copper ended up. She had an odd necklace with a very strange energy within its crystal. A pitch black fog-like energy that sparked a fear reflex just from looking at it... but Stellar looking back, with her cheerful smile and open eyes, quickly nullified that fear. Somehow.

"Oh! Hey!" She quickly stood up, adjusting the necklace like it was some ordinary accessory, though she was quite particular about its position. "Been a while! Long enough that my memory's really not helping me here, heh... Regardless, it's nice to see you!"

She trotted up to the stallion, purring quietly. "I'm Stellar Spirit! A lot's happened since we last met, I'll be honest. Like my planet merging with another one because some idiot Doctor thought they could build a spacetime device for evil purposes and not have it be destroyed." She took a quick breath. "And it was unstable. Ain't that great?"

She had to stop herself from continuing to yap, and just sighed. "That's just one of many. I don't wanna talk too much, soooo... how've you been?"

For once, the blue pony didn't fall from the sky after being sucked into a portal. That, however, caught him off guard, making him trip and fall onto the floor. "Ow..." he muttered, before picking himself up. "As much as that hurt, was a welcoming change of... pace...."

He looked around, seeing he was in a lab of some sort. "Oh. Twilight would love this place." he smirked.

(Reference to blue pony below)

The workshop was quick to pick up on the fact that there was an intruder on the premises. Tails had been working on trying to fix something in the greenhouse for Blossom, but his attention was called away as Gamma sent an alert to him. A mad dash to the workshop would soon yield him finding...

A horse? Did Chronos let another one in to mess with him? He sighs simply, clearing his throat to try and regain his composure.

"Uh... hey there, buddy..." He says, slowly approaching. "Not sure who let you in here, but... can't have ya' running wild around here."

The more he looked at it though, the more this creature didn't look like a regular horse. Other than the obvious shade of blue, the proportions of it seemed to be a bit different than what he was used to. Still, he didn't wanna just eject it out, he had to be careful.

"...Who's Infinite?"

Sonic opened his mouth to speak, but remembered he's a Chao, so Silver took over explaining.

"One of the worst guys ever! He controlled a gem called the Phantom Ruby to create hyper-realistic illusions and used it's powers to kill so many people during the great Eggman War! Not to mention he tortured Sonic for six months!"

Sonic nods to all of that.
