Journey Into Space: A My Little Pony Movie


 * (We pan down to the ocean in a Japanese painting as majestic Japanese music plays, then fades into the real thing as fish jump out and in the ocean, then the camera moves into a boat where it sails between the mountains, then it continues to sail until it stops in a peaceful village where ponies, weasels, ostriches and sea turtles live in peace.)


 * [NEIGHPON, 30 YEARS AGO]


 * (As the Japanese music increases we zoom in to the ancient palace where the Stallion Emperor comes out with a colt Onyx Star to enjoy the view.)


 * Colt Onyx Star: Baba, will I become ruler when I grow up?


 * Stallion Emperor: Son, when you grow up you will rule Neighpon and more.


 * (We pan to some weasels cropping vegetables with young Adonis and his three followers helping him, then we pan to bamboo forest where the ostriches and a young Azar and Ivo are picking bamboo for the Stallion Emperor's dinner, and then we pan to the dock where sea turtles and young Nike are tying the boats, then we pan to the ocean view where alien ponies' spaceships are coming as evil music plays and all of the ponies, sea turtles, weasels and ostriches are watching, even the Stallion Emperor)


 * Stallion Emperor: (gasps) Groff!


 * (The spaceship hatch opens and three spaceships come out to reveal Groff and his two minions, Maxil and Zio and they're heading towards the village, then Groff fires a laser, which destroys the dock and some of the sea turtles and the invasion continues as the ponies, weasels, sea turtles and ostriches scream and run for their lives. Zio fires his laser, which creates an ginormous tsunami and destroys the village and some of the residents, except for the temple. The Stallion Emperor and his soldiers are preparing to attack.)


 * Stallion Emperor: Son, go!


 * (Colt Onyx Star runs away into the destroyed village along with young Adonis and his weasel followers, young Nike and young Azar and Ivo as the battle starts. The Stallion Emperor fires his horn at the spaceship, but Maxil fires at the temple, which it got destroyed and killed the Stallion Emperor.)


 * Colt Onyx Star: Baba! No!


 * (The laser activates a portal to a black hole in space as colt Gerald uses a strong fort around him and his new friends, which Groff blows all of the ponies, weasels, sea turtles, ostriches the Stallion Emperor and the temple away into the portal, making them fall black hole and it engulf all of the residents, the Stallion Emperor and the temple.)


 * Colt Onyx Star: BABA!!! (cries)


 * Groff: (laughing maniacally)


 * (As the spaceship flies back up into space, colt Onyx Star, heartbroken, runs away with young Adonis the three young weasels, young Nike and young Azar and Ivo, then the scene fades into them sitting in a cherry blossom tree nearer to where Equestria is as colt Onyx Star is still crying over his father's death and his destroyed home)


 * Colt Onyx Star: Well, guys, we lost our home and I lost my father, because of that mean ol' Groff!


 * Young Adonis: Don't worry, Onyx, we'll find a better life someday. Just wait and see.


 * Colt Onyx Star: You know, you're right, Adonis. We'll have a better life someday.


 * (As thunder rumbles, a growl from an animal is heard off-screen, and the young guys hear it)


 * Colt Onyx Star: Hello?


 * Young Adonis: What's that sound?


 * (All of the sudden, the Chimera from Somepony to Watch Over Me comes out of the bushes and it's roaring)


 * Young Nike: A chimera!


 * (The chimera attacks Colt Onyx Star and his friends as it try to hit Colt Onyx Star, but it missed him, slicing the cherry blossom tree and it falls down, then the chimera corners Colt Onyx Star and his friends, but as the chimera is about to slice Colt Onyx Star and his friends, Celestia and Luna's moms appear, blasting the chimera far into the woods)


 * Celestia's Mother: Are you alright?


 * Colt Onyx Star: Yeah.


 * Luna's Mother: Where do you live, where are your parents?


 * Colt Onyx Star: My home, Neighpon, just got destroyed, and my father, the Stallion Emperor, is killed and sent into a black hole by Groff and his army of alien ponies.
