The Adventures of Asteroid Angus (Episode 83)

The Adventures of Asteroid Angus (Episode 83) Team Asteroid part 1

Out in the depths of space, an Endo spaceship soared smoothly on it's way. The Endos have plans to dominate Asteroid Angus, and all that stand in their way. As a few Endos stood at a few stations, one Endo got an alert.

Endo 1: Alert, alert. We have detected an intruder onboard the ship!

Endo 2: Scanners show it's not the fireblaster. We are dealing with something else.

Endo 1: Identify it!

As the Endos clicked a few buttons, they couldn't figure out what it was.

Endo 3: Identity cannot be confirm!

Endo 1: WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?!

Suddenly, a pitch black portal opened up.

Endo 4: ALERT, ALERT! Unidentified portal detected!

Then stepping out of the portal was what appeared to be a dark hooded pony.

???: Relax, it's nothing threatening, or at least not much.

The Endos raised their tails and pointed their laser cannons at the mysterious pony.

Endo 1: Identify yourself.

???: That matters not. Your after something bigger, something you've been chasing for years.

Endo 2: Endos don't cooperates with figures we can't identify!

???: Be careful what you say. You might end up backing up the wrong lifeform.

Endo 1: DOMINATE!

The endos fired at the mysterious pony. But to their shock, the pony summoned a smaller black portal in front of him, blocking the lasers from hitting him and going through the portal. The endos stopped firing, and the portal disappeared.

???: Your after the embryos of the fireblaster Asteroid Angus to build a more powerful and improved army.

The Endos were left in surprised, how did this pony know what they were after?

Endo 2: You know what we desire. Explain!

???: Your not the only one who's after Asteroid Angus. I too have business too settle with him. I've been keeping an eye on him, from quite a long distance. I even witnessed his past battles against some of the most menacing threats in Equestria. Including you.

Endo 1: You know more about the fireblaster than we expect! Explain yourself!

???: I've studied him for as long as I can remember, and since you were part of it, I came to you, to make you a deal you won't refuse.

Endo 1: What is this offer?

???: You work for me into luring Asteroid Angus to me, and you get what you desire. Once Asteroid has taken the bait, I shall crush him, and his embryos, better known as Exomedian will be yours.

Endo 3: What kind of skim are you getting at?

The pony snickered.

???: Now listen carefully, this is how we will catch his attention.

Suddenly, a few more black portals opened up, and out came a group of horrifying humanoid figures with wings that looked like bones.

???: With the help of my newly discovered friends. Muhahahahahahahahahaha!

Meanwhile, over at Equestria, it was another quiet night for everypony. Every creature was tucked away in bed, snoozing away. The mane 6 were asleep at their own homes. Over at Twilight's castle, Twilight was sleeping peacefully in her bed. Suddenly, a purple light shined through her bedroom window onto her face, causing her to wake up.

Twilight Sparkle: Ugh, w-what's going on? What's with the light?

Twilight's bedroom door swung opened and in came Spike.

Spike: Twilight! Come quickly, something's happening outside!

Twilight followed Spike outside, where Starlight was standing outside the castle looking up. Many other ponies in Ponyville were woken by the light as some stood outside or at their windows. Twilight and Spike stood next to Starlight and looked up at the purple lights in the sky.

Starlight Glimmer: Umm, do you have any idea what those lights are?

Twilight Sparkle: I don't know.

The rest of Twilight's friends had caught the attention of the purple lights in the sky, along with those who had siblings. As Applejack and her siblings stood on the porch of their house.

Applejack: What in tarnation is going on up there?

Applebloom: Ah dunno.

Big Mac: Nope.

Over with Fluttershy, she was looking out her window, wondering what was going on outside. At Carousel Boutique, Rarity and Sweetie Belle looked out their window at the purple lights.

Sweetie Belle: Rarity, what could those purple lights in the sky be?

Rarity: I don't know darling.

Rainbow Dash looked from one of the clouds.

Rainbow Dash: What the heck?

Pinkie Pie looked out her bedroom window upstairs.

Pinkie Pie: I don't what those lights are, but they sure are pretty.

Suddenly, a pitch black portal opened up in the sky.

Starlight Glimmer: What's that?!

Spike: Is it a black hole?!

Twilight Sparkle: I don't think that's a black hole!

Then emerging from the portal were the bone-winged creatures. Everypony watching gasped.

Spike: W-W-What are THOSE things?!

Twilight Sparkle: Whatever they are, they sure are freaky.

The creatures spotted their targets from different areas and flew down. Most of the ponies backed away. The first one arrived at Sweet Apple Acres, as the apple siblings spotted it.

Applebloom: Ahhhhhh! W-What is that?!

Applejack: Applebloom get behind us!

Applebloom took cover behind Applejack and Big Mac as they faced the creature. But the creature then raised it's hands, suddenly Applejack's body began to glow.

Applejack: Huh? What's happening?!

She then transformed into a glowing white orb and was pulled in toward the creature.

Big Mac: APPLEJACK!

Applebloom: SIS NOOOOOO!

The creature grabbed the orb of Applejack and took off. Up in the clouds, Rainbow Dash encountered her creature, and prepared to fight it.

Rainbow Dash: Put 'em up you crummy pile of bones! I'll smash you into a pile of bones and feed them to the street dogs!

The creature held it's hands out as Rainbow Dash flew towards the creature with a hoof out ready to smash it. But as her hoof collided with the creature's hands, she froze.

Rainbow Dash: Huh?! W-What's going on? I can't move!

Suddenly her body glowed, and she transformed into a glowing orb, and the creature grabbed her. At Carousel Boutique, another humanoid creature broke in approaching the two sisters.

Rarity: AHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Sweetie Belle: R-Rarity, I'm scared!

Rarity: You filthy creature! GET OUT OF OUR HOUSE!

The creature didn't obey, but instead raised it's arms out towards Rarity. Then her body glowed and transformed her into a glowing orb.

Sweetie Belle: AHHHH! RARITY!

The creature grabbed the orb of Rarity and and flew out as Sweetie Belle rushed outside seeing the creature fly off.

Sweetie Belle: GIVE ME BACK MY SISTER!

Over with Fluttershy, the shy pegasus was confronted by another bone-winged creature as it closed in on her.

Fluttershy: NO!

Fluttershy tripped back, falling to the floor.

Fluttershy: No. no! Please!

The creature held it's hands out as Fluttershy's body glowed. She squealed and was transformed into another glowing orb, then into the creature's hands, and then it took off back into the night. Back with Twilight, Spike and Starlight, three more bone-winged creatures were flying straight at them.

Twilight Sparkle: Spike, get behind us!

Spike took cover behind Twilight and Starlight as the two mares charged up their horns. Then they both launched magic beams at the creatures who simply dodged them. The creatures then held their hands out, causing the two mares and dragon to freeze.

Twilight Sparkle: Hey! What's happening?!

Starlight Glimmer: Those things stopped us dead in our tracks!

Spike: TWILIGHT! SOMETHINGS HAPPENING TO ME!

Twilight Sparkle: Huh?!

Spike's body glowed and was transformed into a glowing orb.

Twilight and Starlight: SPIKE!

Twilight Sparkle: GIVE BACK MY FRIEND!

As one of the creatures grabbed the orb of Spike, both Twilight's and Starlight's bodies glowed too as they screamed and transformed into orbs as well, and her grabbed by the other two creatures. With all the friends captured, the bone-winged creatures took flight back in the air and back through the portal they came out of. Then once they all entered, the portal closed, and the purple lights faded away, leaving everypony else that witnessed it all, left in utter shock. The element bearers, along with Spike and Starlight have been kidnapped. The next morning, many ponies reported to Canterlot, to alert the princesses about the disappearance of Twilight and her friends, along with the mysterious humanoid creatures that took them. In the throne room, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna were trying to calm the crowd down.

Celestia: Everypony calm down. I know you all want answers, but I for one have questions of my own.

Applebloom: Those things kidnapped mah big sister!

Sweetie Belle: Mine too!

Mayor Mare: Do you have any idea what those things were that took Princess Twilight and her friends?

Luna: Whatever those things were that took them were certainly not anything from around here, certainly something beyond our understanding.

Golden Gavel: But where could those things have come from?

Celestia: Again, something beyond our understanding.

Dr Whooves: Do you think they might be some kind of aliens from another planet?

Luna: It's sounds a little farfetched, but after some of the passed encounters with these kinds of things, there could be a small chance. But the problem is...

Celestia: We don't even know where they could have gone and taken Twilight and the others too.

???: I think I might have an idea.

The source of a familiar voice caught the hold crowd's attention, and saw it was Asteroid Angus and Tarka Dal standing by the doors to the throne room.

Crusaders: Asteroid!

The crusaders rushed up to Asteroid and hugged him.

Sweetie Belle: Oh Asteroid! It was terrible!

Scootaloo: These creepy looking monsters with wings made of bones came out of nowhere!

Applebloom: And they took Twilight and our sisters!

Asteroid Angus: I'm aware of that.

Tarka Dal: And that is why I'm here.

Celestia stepped forward, her expression both relieved and concerned.

Celestia: Asteroid Angus… we were hoping you might appear. If you know something about what happened last night, please tell us.

Asteroid Angus walked further into the throne room, the large doors slowly closing behind him. Tarka Dal followed close beside him as everypony in the room watched anxiously.

Asteroid Angus: What attacked Ponyville last night weren't just random creatures. They were sent.

The crowd gasped at Asteroid's statement.

Bon Bon: S-Sent?

Tarka Dal: Correct.

Asteroid Angus: Last night, I was contacted by my troops about the incident. We were lucky to catch to glimpse of those creatures right before they disappeared into the portal. Tarka Dal and I did some research on them. It didn't take long to identify them.

Celestia: What may I ask were those things?

Asteroid Angus: Tarka Dal, the hologram.

Tarka Dal: Yes my lord.

Tarka Dal pulled out a small device. Once activated, it displayed a hologram of one of the creatures that took the element bearers. The crowd was creeped out by the sight of it's appearance.

Silver Frames: Oh good heavens!

Lyra Heartstrings: That's freaky.

Sunburst: What is that thing?

Asteroid Angus: Fillies and gentlecolts, what you see here is a hologram of the creatures that took our element bearers. According to the results, they are identified as Angels of Doom.

Everypony: Angels of Doom?!

Sweetie Belle: Angels aren't even the appropriate name for those things.

Asteroid Angus: These abominations kidnapped Twilight and the others, but I have a strange feeling their not in on this alone.

Tarka Dal: We theorize that they might be working for someone.

Scootaloo: Y-You mean like they have a master?

Asteroid Angus: According to the bio, the Angels of Doom are doomsday creatures from space. They have the ability to kill their prey's in just seconds. You could consider them the grim reapers of space. But for some reason, they instead kidnapped our friends for some odd reason, unless someone else ordered them to.

Celestia: You could be onto something there you two. They could've been sent here to bring Twilight and her friends to their master.

Luna: Maybe they want them to tell them where the elements of harmony are.

Sunburst: I doubt it. Don't you remember, they took Starlight and Spike too.

Asteroid Angus: Then it mustn't be the elements they want. It must be something else.

Tarka Dal: But what exactly.

Asteroid Angus: Whatever it is we'll find it. Everypony, I give you my word, me and my troops are gonna find the element barriers, along with Spike and Starlight Glimmer, and bring them back safely!

Celestia: Are you sure your confident about it Asteroid?

Asteroid Angus: Your highness, your speaking to a pony who's travelled the stars plenty of times, I'm certain we got this.

Applebloom: Asteroid's right.

Scootaloo: And the element barriers aren't the only ones who've protect Equestria.

Sweetie Belle: Yeah, Asteroid has helped protected this kingdom plenty of times, even beyond Equestria.

Applebloom: If there's anypony who is an expert when it comes to space, it's Asteroid Angus here.

Asteroid chuckled shyly at his best friends' complements.

Luna: The young fillies are right.

Celestia: Alright then Asteroid, we're counting on you to find Twilight and her friends, and bring them back safely ad unharmed.

Asteroid and Tarka Dal took a bow.

Asteroid and Tarka Dal: Yes your highnesses.

The crowd gave applause to them, hoping they solve this problem as Asteroid and Tarka Dal turned back and left the throne room, with the Crusaders following them.

Asteroid Angus: Tarka Dal, when we get back to the space station, get the Starburster and an army ready.

Tarka Dal: Right away Lord Asteroid.

Applebloom: Asteroid, ah can't thank you enough for taking this opportunity to fahnd our sisters.

Asteroid Angus: Hey, why wouldn't I? Their my friends, and your friends too. And more importantly, some being your sisters. I wouldn't want anything to happen to them that would effect your three. But it's gonna be a huge mission.

Tarka Dal: He's right. I mean, we don't even know exactly where the Angels of Doom have taken them.

But over at the tree of harmony, the elements of harmony have detected their barriers were missing. All six of them started to glow, then each released a small beam of light as they exited the cave and scattered throughout Equestria. However, later on, the mane 6, along with Spike and Starlight were regaining conscience.

Twilight Sparkle: Ugh, my head, w-where am I?

Rainbow Dash: Aww man, my head is spinning out of control.

Twilight Sparkle: (gasps) Rainbow, guys! Your all here too!

Applejack: Ugh...what happened?

Rarity: Wait! That hideous beasts that I encountered! It took me away!

Pinkie Pie: Wait, what hideous creature? You mean the one with those bone-like wings, and a skull-like face with red eyes and stood on two legs.

Fluttershy: Y-Yes, that's the one. Oh it was terrible to look at.

Starlight Glimmer: Wait! It got you guys as well?!

Spike: Wait...where are we?!

The group took to their surroundings and appeared to be locked up in some sort of large cell.

Rainbow Dash tried to fly through the bars but suddenly bounced back with a spark of purple energy.

Rainbow Dash: WHOA!

She tumbled back onto the floor.

Applejack: Rainbow! You alright?

Rainbow Dash groaned and rubbed her head.

Rainbow Dash: Yeah… but those bars are definitely not normal.

Twilight stepped closer and examined them carefully.

Twilight Sparkle: There’s some kind of magical barrier built into them. Whoever captured us made sure we couldn’t just break out.

Rarity: Oh wonderful. We’ve been kidnapped by terrifying monsters and locked inside what appears to be a dreadful dungeon.

Pinkie Pie gasped dramatically.

Pinkie Pie: A dungeon?! Ooo! Do you think there are traps? Or secret doors? Or maybe a giant monster guarding the place?!

Applejack: Pinkie… now ain’t really the time.

Starlight Glimmer: Twilight… do you think they brought us here for a reason?

Twilight Sparkle: They didn’t just randomly grab us… they specifically targeted all of us.

Fluttershy: Do you think they want the elements of harmony?

Spike: That could be why we're here. They might not know where they are so they think forcing it out of us is gonna do the trick.

Applejack: Umm, ah'm not sure about that Spike?

Spike: Why not?

Applejack: Well, how come they took you and Starlight as well? You two aren't element bearers.

Twilight Sparkle: Applejack, your right. It must be something else.

???: That is correct young one.

The source of the creepy voice caught the attentions of the group as they turned to see something emerging from the shadows. It was three Angels of Doom.

Everypony: Ahh!

Fluttershy squeaked in fear and hid behind Rarity.

Rainbow Dash: Wait, your the freak that kidnapped us!

Applejack: T-There are...more than one of you?

Twilight Sparkle: Who are you? And where are we?

???: You are no longer in your world.

Twilight Sparkle: Then where are we?

Rainbow Dash: And tell us who you are?!

AoD 1: We are the Angels of Doom.

Everypony: Angels of Doom?!

AoD 2: We were sent to your world by order of our master who needs you for something he's been longing for for years.

Twilight Sparkle: Your master? And who is in charged here?!

The Angels of Doom stepped aside, and emerging from the shadows was the mysterious hooded pony as he snickered evilly.

???: Greetings Twilight Sparkle. Welcome aboard my vessel. I was hoping you'd wake up.

Starlight Glimmer: It's a pony!

Twilight Sparkle: Who are you?!

???: It matters not. That's for when the time is right.

Rainbow Dash: Aww yeah? Well wait till be bust out of here and force it out of you!

Twilight Sparkle: Rainbow!

???: It's pointless to resist. These barriers are unaffected by your magic.

Twilight shoots at the barriers, but have no effect on them.

Twilight Sparkle: He's right!

Applejack: Ok y'all, why don't ya tell us why ya sent these 'ere monsters after us!

???: Your all here because I need you as part of plan.

Rainbow Dash: Let me guess! Your after the elements of harmony aren't you! And your gonna try and force us to tell you where they are, well tough luck pal, even if you find them you can't control them.

???: (chuckles) Wrong answer Rainbow Dash.

Rainbow Dash: Huh?!

Pinkie Pie: Your not?!

???: I'm not after something, but rather someone!

Fluttershy: Maybe he's after the princesses!

Rarity: And he already has one of them!

???: No, it's not them.

Applejack: Ok ah'm confused.

Starlight Glimmer: If your not after the elements of harmony or the princesses, then who are you after, and how are we connected to this?

???: For many years I've been searching for the one pony I desire. I'm after a pony that I believe your all familiar with.

Spike: And who is this pony your after?

???:...Asteroid Angus.

The group was shocked at his answer.

Everypony: ASTEROID?!

Twilight Sparkle: Why him?!

???: You see Twilight, him and I go a long way back, even before he came to your planet.

Twilight Sparkle: What?!

Rarity: You mean you have a connection with him?

???: Not entirely, in fact he doesn't even know about me. There are some things from his past that he doesn't even know about.

Spike: Ok, this is starting to sound scary.

???: For years I've been searching for that pony all over the galaxy, then one day I was able to locate him thanks to the help of some other lifeforms out there that have encountered him. Over the years I've studied his every move. His strengths, his fighting abilities, and the bonds he's made. I needed to find a way to lure him into my vessel. And that's where you lot come in.

The group gasped at the mysterious pony's statement.

Applejack: So that's it! We're the bait!

Twilight Sparkle: But why is it Asteroid your after?!

???: It's none of your concern, this is between me and him. Not that it'll matter. Because once I have him in by grasp, and the promise I made to my new minions that have agreed to help me for it, Asteroid Angus will be no more, and I will be known as the new ruler of the galaxy! MUHAHAHAHAHAHA!

The mysterious hooded pony turned off and left along with his Angels of Doom.

Rainbow Dash: GET BACK HERE YOU CLOAKED COWARD! WHY DON'T YOU TAKE THAT HOOD OFF AND SHOW US WHO YOU REALLY ARE!

Applejack: That's enough Dash!

Fluttershy: It's not worth it.

Twilight Sparkle: This could be bad. Whoever this guy is, he's setting a trap by using us as bait to lure Asteroid to this place. If that happens, Asteroid might be in danger.

Pinkie Pie: Aww come on Twilight. You've seen Asteroid take on plenty of bad guys before, just like we have! He's got this under control.

Twilight Sparkle: But didn't you hear what that hooded guy said? He's studied Asteroid's abilities over the years. And he knows that we're his friends. And if that's true, then this could be a whole new challenge for Asteroid to tackle.

Starlight Glimmer: If he finds us, let's hope that he finds his way to us and get us out of here.

Rainbow Dash: That is if he knows where we are.

Rarity: Come to think of it, I've starting to wonder, where exactly are we?

As the element bearers along with Spike and Starlight remained in the cell, it sat in a modern looking hallway. But outside, it appeared to be they were onboard a huge starship as it slowly soared through space. Meanwhile, over at the Inferno Star, Asteroid, Tarka Dal and the Crusaders arrived at the control room, where some of their troops were at their stations scanning areas of the galaxy.

Asteroid Angus: Any luck on locating Twilight and the others?

Alien 1: Negative.

Tarka Dal: Keep searching, they have to be somewhere.

Applebloom: Ah hope our sisters are alright.

Sweetie Belle: Me too.

Scootaloo: Especially since they are the element bearers. If anything bad happens to them, that could become a huge problem for Equestria.

Asteroid Angus: We'll find them Scootaloo, I promise.

Alien 2: My lords! You better come have a look at this.

The group approached the alien that called them over who was sitting at a computer.

Asteroid Angus: Status.

Alien 2: The satellite picked up a something moving about around Equestria.

Asteroid looked on the screen and noticed something about them.

Asteroid Angus: Wait a minute, something about them seems familiar. (gasps) Of course, those energy sources come from the elements of harmony!

Tarka Dal: But that's impossible. Have they been stolen?

Asteroid Angus: No, they are still at the tree of harmony. These energys where seeing right now were released from the elements of harmony, and spread out to six areas of Equestria. Tarka Dal, head down there with a few troops and see if you can locate each of those energys of the elements of harmony.

Tarka Dal: Yes lord Asteroid, right away.

Tarka Dal took off to find a few troops to come with him.

Scootaloo: What about us Asteroid?

Asteroid Angus: You three stay here with me?

Applebloom: But ah don't know how long we can wait with our sisters on the line!

Asteroid Angus: Hey, don't look at it that way, your sisters are strong. They've been through tough situations before, and they still have each other's company. So even if they're in a tough situation like they are now, they always pull through. I'm sure they'll make it through.

The Crusaders looked at each other, then smiled at Asteroid.

Sweetie Belle: Your right Asteroid. I believe in my sisters. She and her friends have pulled through

Scootaloo: And when we find them, those monsters will have twice the difficulty to take us down.

Applebloom: Yeah! It's lahke they always say, "Friendship is magic"!

Asteroid nodded. Meanwhile, back at the giant starship, the Angels of Doom and Endos continued their duties under the orders of the mysterious pony. Up on the bridge, where a few Angels of Doom were present, the hooded pony entered.

???: How are the preparations for Asteroid's arrival?

AoD 1: Everything is in order sir.

???: And the prisoners?

AoD 1: The Endos are on lookout.

???: Excellent.

The hooded pony walked to the window of the bridge, looking out at all the stars scattered throughout space.

???: My minions, it won't be long now. Once Asteroid finds his way onto my ship, he will be in for an experience he has never foreseen before. When he finds his way to me, I will strip him of his exomedian and give them to the Endos as promised, and without them, Asteroid will become of no match for me, then I will triumph over him once and for all.

Over with the Endos who were standing guard at the corridor of the hallway where Asteroid's friends were being held captive, one of them received a transmission.

Endo 2: Transmission from base!

Endo 1: Open communications channel!

One of the Endos activated a holographic screen with it's eyes, and appearing onscreen was another Endo.

Endo on screen: What's the status of this pony's plan in finding the fireblaster?

Endo 1: He will arrive on this vessel, and if everything goes according to plan, the fireblaster will be dominated, and his embryos will be ours!

Endo on screen: We have a project in progress. If you proceed with this plan then the project will be of no use to us!

Endo 3: Our main goal is to seek the fireblaster's embryos to build a more powerful army!

Endo on screen: Even if your certain, the project must proceed!

Endo 1: Put the project on hold for the time being. If things go wrong, we will proceed with it!

Endo on screen: Permission granted!

Endo 1: Close communications channel!

The Endo with the transmission shutdown the holographic screen. Later on, back at the Inferno Star, Asteroid and the Crusaders waited desperately for an update. At that moment, an incoming call came from Asteroid's wrist radio.

Tarka Dal on radio: This is Tarka Dal calling to Asteroid Angus, coming lord Asteroid.

Asteroid raised his hoof and activated his wrist radio.

Asteroid Angus: Go ahead Tarka Dal.

Tarka Dal on radio: Sir, I've brought some fascinating news to you. My team and I have located the sources of the energy's that were sent out by the elements of harmony. It appears they have been sent out to a few different ponies.

Asteroid Angus: Ponies?

Tarka Dal on radio: We brought them up here to fill you in on the details.

Asteroid Angus: Hmm, now this I gotta see. Tarka Dal, bring them in.

Tarka Dal on radio: Right away my lord.

Asteroid deactivated his radio.

Applebloom: Six different ponies?

Scootaloo: Who could they be?

Sweetie Belle: I don't know, but I think we're about to find out.

At that moment, the control room doors opened, grabbing the attention of Asteroid and the crusaders. Once the doors opened, there stood Tarka Dal and six familiar faces. A group of ponies that Asteroid has met in the past. Moon Dancer, Spitfire, Cheese Sandwich, Rara, Tree Hugger and Fancy Pants.

Asteroid Angus: (gasps) Wait a second, I recognize these ponies.

Applebloom: Wait, me too.

Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle: Us too.

Asteroid Angus: There's Moon Dancer, and Rara.

Suddenly Asteroid noticed something about them.

Asteroid Angus: Wait a second.

Sweetie Belle: What is it Asteroid?

Asteroid Angus: Of course! It all makes sense now.

Scootaloo: What do you mean?

Sweetie Belle: What makes sense?

Asteroid Angus: You'll see.

As Tarka Dal brought the six ponies in, Asteroid approached to greet them.

Moon Dancer: Asteroid Angus? Is that you?

Asteroid Angus: The one and only. Greetings you six. Welcome aboard my space station.

Moon Dancer: Space station?!

Fancy Pants: This is a space station? I say, what an unusual living quarters.

Spitfire: Alright, I’m gonna ask the obvious question here. Why exactly were we brought into space?

Cheese Sandwich: Yeah! I was in the middle of planning a triple-layer surprise party when suddenly—WHOOSH!—next thing I know I’m on a spaceship!

Tree Hugger: Pretty cosmic ride, man.

Fancy Pants: Fascinating technology, I must say. But I assume this gathering is not merely for sightseeing.

Asteroid Angus: You’re right. You were all brought here because something extraordinary has happened.

Rara: Something… extraordinary?

Asteroid Angus: I'll explain more to you. Tarka Dal, prepare the boardroom, we shall hold a meeting.

Tarka Dal: Right away sir.

Tarka Dal left immediately to prepare the boardroom upstairs. Later on, everypony gathered in the boardroom where they sat at a long table, and Asteroid sitting at the far end of the table.

Spitfire: Alright fireblaster, give us the status.

Asteroid Angus: Hold on Spitfire, we're also expecting two more ponies joining the meeting that I called up. They should be onscreen in a few minutes.

Fancy Pants: I beg your pardon.

Tarka Dal came in.

Tarka Dal: Lord Asteroid, Snowball and Lab Coat are online now.

Asteroid Angus: Good, activate communications channel.

Tarka Dal pulled out a little remote and pressed a button, bringing down a large screen. It turned on, and appearing on the screen was Snowball Sam and Lab Coat.

Snowball Sam (on screen): Asteroid, how's it going up there bro?

Asteroid Angus: Hi sis. Hi Lab Coat.

Lab Coat (on screen): We came as soon as we got your call from Tarka Dal.

Crusaders: Hi Snowball!

Snowball Sam (on screen): Hey girls, how lovely to see you three.

Snowball then noticed the 6 new faces in the boardroom with them.

Snowball Sam (on screen): Say, who are these guys with you?

Asteroid Angus: Allow me to make introductions. Guys, this is my sister Snowball Sam and her mentor, Dr Lab Coat. Snowball and Lab Coat, these are friends of the element bearers. And they are here with us today to help us on a big mission, which is also why I called you two up. So then, let's get this meeting started.

Everypony faced Asteroid as he began.

Asteroid Angus: Now, some of you might've heard the news, but to those who didn't allow me to explain the situation. Last night, Twilight Sparkle and her friends were abducted by a group of lifeforms known as Angels of Doom.

The 6 guests gasped.

Snowball Sam (on screen): Say what now?!

Fancy Pants: Good lord!

Moon Dancer: Twilight and her friends are kidnapped?

Rara: That's terrible!

Spitfire: I smell trouble brewing.

Tree Hugger: Major bummer dude.

Cheese Sandwich: What are we gonna do?!

Asteroid Angus: Calm down everypony, listen carefully. Earlier this morning my troops detected an energy source that spread around Equestria. The same energy signature as the elements of harmony.

Lab Coat (on screen): You mean the same magic Twilight and the others used?!

Asteroid Angus: Correct. And so I sent Tarka Dal and a few of my soldiers out to find the sources of these energy's, and that is when they found you six.

Cheese Sandwich: Us?!

Spitfire: But how are we the energy's of the elements of harmony?

Tree Hugger: Totally, I'm as confused as you all are.

Asteroid Angus: There's a reason to all of this, and I discovered it the minute your guys arrived. When Twilight and the others were taken, the elements of harmony detected that their bearers have disappeared. And so they each sent out a distress call, which were what those energy's were. And that's when they found their way to you.

Moon Dancer: Wait… you’re saying we have something to do with the elements?

Asteroid Angus: Yes.

Rara: But why did they choose us?

Asteroid Angus: Because from what I remember, each of you six share a strong bond with each of the element bearers. Fancy Pants, a high-class citizen from Canterlot who was welcoming to Rarity. Tree Hugger, a mare with a strong connection to nature and positive energy like Fluttershy. Rara, a fillyhood friend of Applejack's who became a famous popstar and formerly known as Countess Coloratuna. Cheese Sandwich, a party planner who plans parties and shares laughter like Pinkie Pie. Spitfire, a loyal captain to the Wonderbolts academy, where she accepted Rainbow Dash as one of her own. And Moon Dancer, a fillyhood friend of Twilight's who shared the same traits as her.

Lab Coat (on screen): Boy your brother really knows how to keep up with bonds.

Snowball nodded.

Spitfire: It's a good statement cadet, but how can we help with this situation?

Lab Coat (on screen): I think I know. The elements of harmony reached out to you guys, because you share the similar traits with each of them.

Asteroid Angus: Lab Coat is right. Moon Dancer. Your intelligence and dedication to learning mirror the spirit of Twilight Sparkle.

Moon Dancer blushed slightly.

Moon Dancer: I… suppose I do spend a lot of time studying.

Asteroid Angus: Spitfire. Your courage and leadership with the Wonderbolts make you the embodiment of loyalty and bravery like Rainbow Dash.

Spitfire smirked proudly.

Spitfire: Well… I do try to set a good example for my team.

Asteroid Angus: Cheese Sandwich. Your mission in life is bringing laughter and joy to others just like Pinkie Pie.

Cheese grinned.

Cheese Sandwich: Guilty as charged!

Asteroid Angus: Rara. You learnt from Applejack to stand for honesty and staying true to who you really are.

Rara smiled warmly.

Coloratura: I learned that the hard way.

Asteroid Angus: Tree Hugger. Your kindness and peaceful spirit connect you deeply with others just like it does with Fluttershy.

Tree Hugger gave a relaxed smile.

Tree Hugger: Good vibes all around, man.

Asteroid Angus: And Fancy Pants. Your generosity and willingness to give others a chance like you did with Rarity, and me too, no matter their background, speak for themselves.

Fancy Pants chuckled politely.

Fancy Pants: Well, I do believe everypony deserves a fair chance.

Asteroid Angus: That explains why we've been brought together. The element bearers are out there somewhere held captive, and the elements of harmony need your help to bring them back.

Cheese Sandwich: Really?

Spitfire: How are we gonna do that?

Asteroid Angus: Don't worry Spitfire, I have a plan on how we could locate them. Years ago I built a super transmitter that connects to a satellite that I launched into orbit that contains powerful advance antennas. We could use that by transmitting the energy's of the distress call that you guys got from them through the transmitter, up to the satellite and locate our friends. Tarka Dal, you head down to the control room and get the transmitter and the satellite ready. As for the six of you, we will need you all to perform a ritual to transmit the energy of the elements' distress call to the satellite so that we can launch it across space to locate the bearers. Meanwhile, Snowball and Lab Coat, I want you two to head up to the space station immediately to join us, we might need your help as well.

Lab Coat (on screen): You can count on us Asteroid.

Snowball Sam (on screen): We're on it!

Rara: Are you sure this will work Asteroid?

Asteroid Angus: I believe it will. The Elements trusted you six with their power, and I trust that magic. If we work together, we’ll find Twilight and the others. I know it.

Sweetie Belle: Asteroid is right. We all might be the only ones who can help Twilight and her friends.

Asteroid Angus: Remember guys, the magic of friendship doesn't just come from the elements of harmony, it comes from all of us. And the bonds that you guys shared with them is what chose you to helping save Twilight and the others. And remember this, a hero can come from anywhere, and this could be your chances to show Equestria that.

The six guests looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

Tree Hugger: I like where this is going.

Asteroid Angus: But your going to need a leader to navigate you through space to find the location of where our friends are being held captive. And that's why you'll need me for the job. So what do you say guys, are you in?

Fancy Pants: As a friend of Miss Rarity, the old saying goes, "One must always put a lady's needs first, that's what a gentlecolt does".

Tree Hugger: Helping ponies, saving the world, spreading good vibes across the universe… yeah, man. I'm totally in.

Rara: Applejack and her friends believed in me when I lost faith in myself. If this is my chance to return that kindness.

Cheese Sandwich: Rescue mission in space?! Oh this is gonna be the greatest adventure ever! I'm definitely in!

Spitfire: As captain of the Wonderbolts, it is in my duty that no Wonderbolt gets left behind!

Moon Dancer: Twilight helped me learn that friendship is worth stepping outside your comfort zone for. Asteroid, you've got yourself a team!

Asteroid smiled proudly at the group.

Asteroid Angus: Alright then, let’s get to work. Follow me!

(music that plays in the background)

Everypony left the table and followed Asteroid out of the boardroom as Tarka Dal turned off the big screen.

Lab Coat: Let's get to the space station.

Snowball Sam: Adventure is calling us!

Snowball and Lab Coat let the computer and prepared to depart for the Inferno Star. Back with Asteroid, Tarka Dal rushed down to the control room as Asteroid and his new team headed to a lower level of the Obelisk below ground level where they arrived in an large chamber where a huge device sat in the center.

Applebloom: We've never been in this room before Asteroid!

Scootaloo: What is this place?!

Asteroid Angus: This is the main signal uplink transmitter room. Guys, gather around the transmitter.

Spitfire: On it!

Moon Dancer: Let's move!

The six guests gathered around the towering transmitter as Asteroid turned to the crusaders.

Asteroid Angus: Girls, you might wanna stand back.

The crusaders did as he told and stood back. Asteroid activated his wrist radio and contacted Tarka Dal.

Asteroid Angus: Tarka Dal, is the satellite ready?

Tarka Dal was at the main computer in the control room typing away, preparing the satellite.

Tarka Dal: All systems go!

Asteroid Angus: Good, stand by.

Asteroid turned to the team.

Asteroid Angus: Alright team, I want you to focus your energy's! Use your memories of your times with the bearer your close to. The memories of the times you had, then release it into the transmitter!

Moon Dancer: You heard him guys!

Cheese Sandwich: Let's do it!

The six ponies closed their eyes and began focusing. At first nothing happened. Then faint glowing lights began forming around each of them.

Sweetie Belle: It's working!

The energy's from the six ponies were transmitted to the transmitter. A brilliant blue light joined the others. Energy from all six ponies swirled together into a massive spiral of color above the machine. After that they opened their eyes.

Fancy Pants: Did it work?

Rara: I think we did it!

Cheese Sandwich: We're all set Asteroid!

A call came from Asteroid's wrist radio.

Tarka Dal (on radio): Lord Asteroid! It worked, the transmitter has now accepted the energy.

Asteroid Angus: Excellent, now for the big part. Tarka Dal...locate Twilight and the others!

Up in the control room, Tarka Dal was finished typing in codes to the satellite.

Tarka Dal: Sending, the distress call.

Once he was finished a large lever appeared as Tarka Dal grabbed ahold of it.

Tarka Dal: Launching the energy, NOW!

Tarka Dal pushed the lever forward, and the transmitter sent the energy of the elements up to the satellite which then launched it across space into six different colored streams of glowing lights. After a far distance, they found their way to the starship Twilight and her friends were onboard. In the cell where the mane 6, Spike and Starlight were still inside, the mane 6's cutie marks began to glow.

Spike: Huh? Hey Twilight look!

Starlight Glimmer: Your cutie marks are glowing!

The mane 6 looked at their cutie marks!

Rarity: She's right!

Fluttershy: What does this mean?

Pinkie Pie: Their not flashing like they usually would when there's a friendship problems.

Twilight Sparkle: I know what it is.

Everypony: Huh?

Twilight Sparkle: It's the energy's of the elements of harmony! They've found their wa to us!

Pinkie Pie: Really?!

Applejack: But how?! We're thousands of miles out in space!...Unless...

Twilight Sparkle: It was Asteroid! He's found out where we are!

Back at the Inferno Star, a signal was brought up on a computer in the control room.

Alien 1: Wait, something's come through! Twilight Sparkle and her friends have been located!

Alien 2: Lord Tarka Dal, the energy's on the elements of harmony have found the locating position of Twilight and her friends!

Tarka Dal: What's the position?!

Alien 1: The satellite is still refining the signal… but we have a lock on the coordinates!

Alien 2 leaned closer to the monitor as numbers rapidly scrolled across the screen.

Alien 2: I'm detecting the energy signatures of the Twilight Sparkle and the other element bearers!

Tarka Dal: Good. Where are they being held?

Alien 2: It's located in deep space, far beyond the outer star systems.

Tarka Dal: So they're somewhere in uncharted space.

Alien 1: Yes sir. The satellite can only detect the Element energy itself. Whatever structure they're inside is masking the rest of the readings.

Tarka Dal: Clever.

Tarka Dal contacted Asteroid through his wrist radio again.

Tarka Dal: Lord Asteroid, we've located them!

Back in the transmitter room.

Asteroid Angus: Guys! Listen to this!

Everypony listened in at Asteroid's wrist radio.

Asteroid Angus: What's their location?

Tarka Dal: We have their coordinates, but the satellite can't identify the structure they're inside.

Asteroid Angus: Meaning we won't know what we're dealing with until we get there.

Tarka Dal: Exactly.

Asteroid Angus: Prepare an army, and get the Starburster ready, we'll be right there.

Tarka Dal: On my way sir, we'll meet you onboard it!

Asteroid ended the call.

Scootaloo: So we found them?!

Asteroid Angus: Yes… but wherever they are, it's not going to be easy getting them back.

Applebloom: You don't know exactly where they are?

Asteroid Angus: We will once we get there.

Sweetie Belle: Then what are we waiting for?

Scootaloo: Yes! Let’s go save them!

Applebloom and Sweetie Belle nodded eagerly.

Applebloom: Yeah! Let’s go get our sisters!

Asteroid Angus: Hold on Crusaders!

Crusaders: Huh?

Asteroid Angus: Girls… I think it would be best if you stayed here on the space station.

Scootaloo: What?!

Applebloom: But Asteroid!

Sweetie Belle: Our sisters are out there!

Scootaloo: We have to help save them!

Asteroid knelt down so he was eye-level with them.

Asteroid Angus: I know how much you care about them. Believe me, I understand. But this mission isn’t like the adventures we’ve had before. This is probably something , which means wherever we’re going… it’s going to be extremely dangerous.

Applebloom began to tear up.

Applebloom: But… they’re our family.

Asteroid Angus: And that’s exactly why I need you to stay here. This station is the safest place for you right now. Besides, you three are one of the most important ponies in my life, and I don't want to lose you three.

Sweetie Belle: So… we just wait?

Asteroid Angus: Well yes, but don't worry, a couple of my troops will keep you updated on what's happening. Girls, we will find your sisters… and we will bring them home.

The Crusaders looked at each other, still worried but beginning to understand.

Applebloom: Alright… we trust you, Asteroid.

Sweetie Belle: Please bring them back.

The crusader gave Asteroid a group hug as he in turn hugged them back. After the hug Asteroid turned to his team.

Asteroid Angus: Alright team… let’s get moving.

The group followed Asteroid as did the Crusaders. Meanwhile back at the starship, an Endo entered the bridge.

Endo 1: Alert, alert! We have been detected! I repeat, we have been detected!

AoD 1: It must be Asteroid Angus!

AoD 2: He has located us?

???: Yes. Just as I expected. That means the next part of my plan shall commence.

The hooded pony then turned to the Endo.

???: And that is where you and your crew come in.

Endo 1: Explain this part of your plan?

???: Here are your objectives.

The hooded pony explained his plan to the Endo. Later, back at the cell the mane 6 were beginning to have hope that Asteroid will find them. Then the door to their cell click, and began to open.

Rainbow Dash: They're back!

Spike: What do they want now?

But to the group's surprise, instead of the Angels of Doom, there was a group of Endos.

Applejack: Wait a darn minute! Aren't those...

Twilight Sparkle: ENDOS!

Pinkie Pie: So they're in on this as well?!

The Endos slowly marched into the cell, their mechanical footsteps echoing across the floor.

Endo 1: Remain still. Resistance will not be tolerated.

Rainbow Dash hovered angrily in the air.

Rainbow Dash: Oh yeah?! And what if we don’t feel like cooperating?!

The Endos raised their tails pointing their laser cannons at her.

Endo 2: You will be dominated!

The Endos each approached a member of the group except for Spike, then they scanned them. Then they finished they stopped.

Endo 3: Confirmed. Identities have been received.

Endo 1: Begin preparations for the next step of the plan.

The endos left the cell and locked the door behind them, sealing the group in once again.

Pinkie Pie: Umm, what was that all about?

Applejack: Ah expected more from them.

Twilight Sparkle: I don't know, but they're definitely up to something.

Rarity: I still can't believe the endos are apart of this as well.

Fluttershy: Which might make it even worse for Asteroid.

Twilight Sparkle: Let's just hope Asteroid's ready for what he's up against.

Meanwhile back at the Inferno Star, Snowball and Lab Coat arrived, and Asteroid and his team were about to board the Starburster and depart to find Twilight and the others. Two of his troops stood by with the Crusaders to look after them while he's away.

Asteroid Angus: Everypony all set.

Snowball Sam: We're ready brother.

Lab Coat: Let's hope we're not too late.

Asteroid turned to the two troops with the Crusaders.

Asteroid Angus: You guys take great care of these three while I'm away, they mean a lot to me.

Alien caretakers: Yes sir!

Sweetie Belle: Be careful out there Asteroid.

Asteroid nodded then turned to the team.

Asteroid Angus: Alright team, follow me. To the Starburster.

(this music plays youtube.com/watch?v=S_qBvZlMaFc&ab_channel=ThunderbirdsAreGo)

The gang took an elevator down to the hanger. As the elevator doors opened, in front of them was a bridge that led to the entrance of the Starburster. The gang made their way across the bridge and climbed the steps boarding the Starburster. As the made it inside they took a seat with other alien troops who were already on board. Asteroid went to the cockpit where Tarka Dal was as he sat down in the seat beside him and pushed a button to close the door to the ship. The hanger door opened up as the lights outside lit up the runway. A light up board appeared down from the ceiling and began countdown.

5,4,3,2,1

The Starburster started it's engines blasting fire from it as it started to move. The ship made it out of the hanger picking up speed on the runway and lifting off into the air.

Fancy Pants: My word. That's fast.

Tree Hugger: Totally.

Asteroid Angus: That's nothing compared to the speed we're about to take.

Moon Dancer: We're gonna go even faster?

Tarka Dal pressed the talk button on the radio and spoke through it.

Tarka Dal: Your attention passengers. Please fasten your safety belts, we're about to jump to lightspeed.

The dix guests gasped.

Cheese Sandwich: Did he say...

Rara: We're gonna travel by lightspeed?

Snowball Sam: You know it!

Spitfire: No way! That's a speed not even Rainbow Dash could reach up too.

Moon Dancer: Fasten your seatbelts guys.

The passengers fastened their safety belts as Asteroid and Tarka Dal fired up the lightspeed engines and the ship took off in lightspeed, the rescue mission was now in commence. And so Asteroid and his team have departed from the Inferno Star and were on their way to save their friends. But new challenges and dangers lie ahead where a mysterious hooded pony is waiting for him. Can Asteroid and his new team confront this new evil threat and rescue the element bearers and their two other friends?
