Plot
Sigma has revived as a Death Star called the Sigma Star. While incomplete, he can still wipe out entire cities with one laser shot. Mega Man X and Zero fight him, but his other weapons overwhelm them and send them to Equestria.

Trixie willingly enters an Equestrian Death Battle stadium, where X has landed. She starts to fight him with her stage magic and props. Unable to harm the pacifist Reploid, who is obviously holding back, she promptly befriends him. As a result, Death Battle's hosts, Wiz and Boomstick, declare themselves the losers before Trixie opens trapdoors below them and drops cages on them.

As X wants a break from fighting for once, Trixie begins to show him the peaceful, non-violent ways of Equestria. He realizes how useful ponykind's abilities are outside of combat. Meanwhile, Zero is befriending Trixie's friend, Starlight Glimmer, telling her how he had caused the apocalyptic Maverick Wars and wanted to be one of the good guys. Starlight begins to relate to him, revealing that she had previously destroyed Equestria multiple times in two episodes.

X's and Zero's friendship tour is cut short when the Sigma Star appears over Equestria's skies and drops Mechaniloids into both the School and Castle of Friendship to restrain everyone inside. X and Trixie go into the Castle of Friendship to aid the Mane Six in its evacuation. To X's surprise, Trixie makes several quips while fighting off the Mechaniloids alongside him. Meanwhile, Zero and Starlight evacuate the School of Friendship alongside the Background Six. During the School's evacuation, Discord tries to erase all the Mechaniloids with a snap of his finger, but one of them freezes him in thick and heavy concrete to stop him from interfering.

After both buildings are evacuated and the Mechaniloids cleaned up, the Sigma Star completely destroys the School (Discord gets atomized in the resulting explosion) and infects the Castle with the Sigma Virus, turning the Castle into Metal Gear Sigma. Without any artifact to fire an instant-win blast of friendship with, the Mane Six quickly leave the scene. However, Trixie and Starlight had picked up X's and Zero's fighting styles and learned that giant enemies are part of the latter two's routine. X, Zero, Trixie, and Starlight take down the Metal Gear while besting its lasers, missiles, sword, stomps, bites, and machine guns. Near the end of the fight, the four heroes catch the sword and throw the Metal Gear into the air. X and Starlight then fire simultaneous supercharged shots at the Metal Gear, Trixie bombards it with fireworks, and Zero jumps onto it and carves it apart. The Metal Gear explodes and falls to the floor in pieces. Zero then remarks "I always hated that castle. I liked it better when Princess Twilight lived in a library tree", implying that he already knew about Equestria before.

X and Zero reveal that they had previously lost to the Sigma Star, and it followed them to Equestria. After Starlight casts a space flight spell on herself and Trixie, both ponies do a trench run on the Sigma Star, destroy its insides, and blow up its core with fireworks and magic to destroy the Sigma Star from the inside out.

During the trench run, Sigma beams down another incarnation of himself, Sigma Armstrong, who fights with nanomachine armor, punches, kicks, super speed, thrown rocks, and fire pillars. Sigma Armstrong effortlessly defeats X and Zero. Following the Sigma Star's destruction, Trixie and Starlight get X and Zero to safety, then get a power transfusion from them, evening the odds and paying back Sigma Armstrong together. Eventually, Starlight focuses her strongest laser beam on Sigma's face, forcing him to converge his nanomachines there to block the beam so Trixie can stab him through the stomach with a powered-up handsaw, blocking the nanomachines from hardening on that spot. While the nanomachines on Sigma's face are reeling, X grabs both of his fists and performs Shining Finger on both of them, converging the other nanomachines on the fists and also causing them to reel. And finally, Zero carves out, tears out, and crushes Sigma's mechanical heart, causing him to fall and explode.

After the final battle, X, Zero, Trixie, and Starlight start a dance party which plenty of other ponies are promptly shown in.
