Having recovered the coordinates from the last spacebridge, [[Shockwave (G1)\|Shockwave]]'s reopened the connection between dimensions, and reports that Megatron's scout teams are converging on their targets: various magical artifacts of great power scattered across the idylliic landscape.

	In nearby [[Cloudsdale]], [[Spitfire (MLP)\|Spitfire]] and the other members of the high-flying [[Wonderbolt]]s discover the glowing spacebridge portal in the sky. Eager to find out what's on the other side of this "magic gateway", the ponies fly through—when they emerge on the other side, they're promptly surrounded by Decepticons and thrown into a makeshift prison.

Twilight fires a beam from her horn; her shot goes wide, however, and strikes the mysterious black stone. At first, the crystal merely absorbs the magic; but as arcane power spreads across its surface, however, it explodes into a mass of living shadow that scatters Megatron's forces, a tower of darkness so large that even [[Optimus Prime (G1)\|Optimus Prime]] and the other Autobots elsewhere on Cybertron take notice. Though the Autobots first mistake the figure for [[Unicron/Generation 1\|Unicron]], the Decepticons realize that this threat is not ''Unicron'', but ''unicorn'': a jet-black pony with glowing red eyes, who introduces himself as [[King Sombra]]!

	Twilight can't believe that Sombra's returned—after all, she and her friends destroyed him last they met—but the evil unicorn explains that they merely dispelled his physical body and allowed him to gradually reconstitute his essence in crystal form. Now that Twilight has graciously provided him with the burst of magic he needed to revive himself, he uses his sinister magic to put her, [[Pinkie Pie]], and [[Fluttershy]] under his control to ensure that the ponies cannot unite the [[wikia:MLP:Elements of Harmony\|Elements of Harmony]] to destroy him.

After his ill-fated alliance with [[Queen Chrysalis]] ended with his defeat and banishment, the Decepticon hatched a new plan: if he can't conquer Equestria directly, then he will simply bring the magic of Equestria to war-torn [[Cybertron (planet)\|Cybertron]] and use its various powerful artifacts to defeat the hated [[Autobot]]s. Having recovered the coordinates from the last spacebridge, [[Shockwave (G1)\|Shockwave]]'s reopened the connection between dimensions, and reports that Megatron's scout teams are converging on their targets: various magical artifacts of great power scattered across the idylliic landscape. While [[Mindwipe (G1)\|Mindwipe]] and [[Skullcruncher (G1)\|Skullcruncher]] investigate the [[Everfree Forest]], and [[Airachnid (G1)\|Airachnid]] and [[Shadow Striker (G1)\|Shadow Striker]] discover an unusual black crystal amidst the icy [[Crystal Mountains]], [[Starscream (G1)\|Starscream]] and his team scout out the pony city of [[Las Pegasus]]—only for [[Thundercracker (G1)\|Thundercracker]] to recklessly blow their cover when he crashes a concert and orders the natives to surrender their magical artifacts. Unfortunately for the [[Seeker (body-type)\|Seeker]]s, [[Twilight Sparkle]] and her friends happen to be in attendance, and the pony princess warns the villains to back off, unless they want to relearn a painful lesson in kindness...		''In a land of magic and rainbows, a [[pony]] and a goblin live happily ever after...'' or, at least, that's what goes down in [[Frenzy (G1)\|Frenzy]]'s new book, a souvenir of his visit to [[Equestria]]. [[Breakdown (IDW)\|Breakdown]], on the other hand, doesn't understand Frenzy's newfound appreciation of pony culture at all, but their argument only draws the ire of their impatient leader [[Megatron (G1)\|Megatron]].

	In nearby [[Cloudsdale]], [[Spitfire (MLP)\|Spitfire]] and the other members of the high-flying [[Wonderbolt]]s discover the glowing spacebridge portal in the sky. Eager to find out what's on the other side of this "magic gateway", the ponies fly through—when they emerge on the other side, they're promptly surrounded by Decepticons and thrown into a makeshift prison. The ponies watch as Shadow Striker and Airachnid return through the portal to report a successful mission... as they unload their crystal, however, Starscream and his team race through the portal with [[Octavia]] and [[Vinyl Scratch]]'s stolen stage in hand, followed by Twilight and her friends! Twilight fires a beam from her horn; her shot goes wide, however, and strikes the mysterious black stone. At first, the crystal merely absorbs the magic; but as arcane power spreads across its surface, however, it explodes into a mass of living shadow that scatters Megatron's forces, a tower of darkness so large that even [[Optimus Prime (G1)\|Optimus Prime]] and the other Autobots elsewhere on Cybertron take notice. Though the Autobots first mistake the figure for [[Unicron/Generation 1\|Unicron]], the Decepticons realize that this threat is not ''Unicron'', but ''unicorn'': a jet-black pony with glowing red eyes, who introduces himself as [[King Sombra]]!

	Twilight can't believe that Sombra's returned—after all, she and her friends destroyed him last they met—but the evil unicorn explains that they merely dispelled his physical body and allowed him to gradually reconstitute his essence in crystal form. Now that Twilight has graciously provided him with the burst of magic he needed to revive himself, he uses his sinister magic to put her, [[Pinkie Pie]], and [[Fluttershy]] under his control to ensure that the ponies cannot unite the [[wikia:MLP:Elements of Harmony\|Elements of Harmony]] to destroy him. Sombra then turns his attention to the assembled Decepticons; though some manage to shield their eyes in time, many more fall under his evil spell—when Shockwave tries to help Megatron to his feet, he's horrified to learn that Megatron has become one of Sombra's slaves! Eager to raise a [[Transformer]] army and turn the metal planet into his new kingdom, Sobra and his slaves take off, and by the time Optimus, [[Arcee (G1)\|Arcee]], and [[Greenlight]] arrive, they find only a few Decepticon stragglers and the remaining ponies.
