"Well, well you heroes are much more brutal then what I'm use too," Discord said as all the villains from The Impossibles cartoon have been defeated and puff away in a cloud of smoke.
"It's not like they're alive," Rhinx said.
"Well more like them being like robots, or videogame characters, but same thing," Discord said floating over the street with news copters flying around.
"Now bring back Ms. Shimmer!" Mammoth Queen said gripping her axe.
"Sorry but she's a danger to Equestria. Sure after what her mother did to her she does deserve to have some payback but my friends will be trying to stop her from taking the throne," Discord said.
"What?" Mammoth Queen asked confused like everyone else.
"She's actually a unicorn from the magical world of Equestria, like those other magical worlds connected to Earth. Where she's the daughter of one of the former rulers of the kingdom and is the rightful heir to the throne. Here's a clip," Discord said as he makes a screen that showed what the ponies of Equestria saw when their former princess met with her wayward daughter.
Mammoth Queen and the other heroes watched and listen as mother and daughter talked. Hearing how Ms. Shimmer's mother didn't want her, calling her just an accident and only saw her as a tool to save her sister who she banished to the moon. Even willing to kill her, if it meant freeing her sister. Ms. Shimmer's mother cared about no one, only seeing them as tools, all of her love and compassion was only for her sister and had nothing else to anyone else, even her own daughter.
"Wait those this mean that Ms. Shimmer created her company so that she could take back her throne?" Minotaurox asked looking at Korra.
"Pretty much," Korra said seeing how there is no hiding things with Discord around to blab about things. "She's built a multibillion international shipping company so that she has all that she needs to take back what's her birthright."
"Which is why I had to stop her. But as princess Twilight wouldn't like the whole death thing to take care of her, especially after learning that her mentor just saw her as a tool. I stepped in to handle things on my own. So she's trap in the world of the tv world, thanks to my magic and that supervillain's remote," Discord said snapping his finger and the remote that Mammoth Queen held puff away. "There no way to get her out and with how time flys faster in the tv world, she'll have long since died of old age."
"What!" Mammoth Queen growls gripping her axe like everyone else is gripping their weapons.
"Sorry but the princess asked me to take care of Sunset," Discord said. (1)
"You really messed up there," Korra said.
"What do you mean?" Discord asked.
"You trap Sunset in the world of tv shows and movies. Locking MacGyver in the Store Cupboard troupe right there. You put her in a place where she would be able to get what she needs to make her escape," Korra points out not mentioning that Sunset has the magic umbrella that she can use to make her escape.
"You really think she'll be able to figure out a way to escape?" Discord asked.
"She built one of the biggest companies in the world from the ground up from a food truck. You sent her into the tv world of old shows and movies, where she knows it's just a show. So what if it take years for her to do so, she will find a way to survive, becoming immortal or something. She'll be escaping, it's not a matter of how, it's a matter of when," Korra said.
"You have a lot of faith in her," Discord said.
"Of course," Korra said.
Discord snaps his fingers freezing in place Mammoth Queen's axe and freezing the heroes in their places as they tried to rush him.
"Really now? You actually think you could distract me so that the heroes could attack?" Discord mocks.
"Try villain," Korra said.
Before Discord could react he was suck against his will into a box held by Uniscorn who stood on top of one of the buildings. The Infinity Box is a magical item from the fairies worlds that is able to contain anything magical, no matter how powerful. Uniscorn slam the box shut with the powerful chaos spirit trap inside. A portal open up behind Uniscorn and he step through with the portal closing behind him.

Germany -
In the city of Aalen is the main HQ of Shimmer Exports, the executives are doing damage control as the news of their founder and CEO disappearing. Because of the company being a non public trading private company, the mass panic and stock fall isn't an issue. What's the issue is that their founder is using her company's resources to orchestrate a plan to retake her throne in a magical world. Which is having a mixed reaction with the public, having watched the meeting with Shimmer's mother who saw everyone around her as a tool to be used and thrown away when no longer needed, many are supporting her.
The other problem is the different governments learning that the CEO of an international company is the heir to a magical world. Within the hour that news broke out, offers of helping and supporting the claim to Shimmer's birthright began coming in. With the news of magic being real and there are magical worlds, many governments of Earth have been trying to get in the good graces of the different magical worlds.
Not to mention the company's competitors seeing the lost of their rival CEO gone as a sign of weakness. Corporate espionage is big business and with how big Shimmer Exports is with all the legitimate businesses that they have a hand in, there are many competitors out there. And with Shimmer gone, they're making their moves.
"Show of hands of how many people actually knew that she's a magical princess from another world?" Drake Cam who is second in line of being the CEO. He's been with the company since the beginning, working as a delivery guy along side with Shimmer when she first started her delivery service. As well as the only one who stayed on who didn't leave, weren't let go for one reason or other or was just fired.
On the screens in front of him of the other heads of the branches and the people in the boardroom. The hands of Charlene Roberta McGee, Carrie White, Owen Burnett, Azula Ashy, Twilight Sparkle, Adagio Dazzling, Gary Fischer, Goldie and Wendy Rosa, Daenerys Stormborn, Eudial Jak, Ramses De Nile, Sima Yi, Charles Foster Ofdensen and about half the top people of the company raised their hands. Leaving Drake stun seeing how many people knew about Sunset's plan.
"Really? I was with her when she was still operating a chicken fast food delivery out of that restaurant. And she never told me anything?" Drake asked.
"Possible deniably, in case her plans were discovered and legal actions were brought up. You having no idea what she was doing would take over the company and save it from going under," Ofdensen said.
"So that's how it is," Drake said knowing the less he knows the better.
"Once Sunset gets back she can explain things better," Sparkle said on her screen.
"But she's trap in the tv world," Arnold Tod from the American branch said.
"Its Shimmer, she has crawled her way back from set backs," White said.
"That, I can believe," Drake said remembering the first few years when the company started making other deliveries besides chicken.
"But till then you're in charge," Gary said.
"And there are lots of government people who want answers," Adagio said.
"Just great," Drake said not liking what he's going to have to handle dealing with the government agents of different countries. "Well there is always Izak."
"Izak? All he is, is her boyfriend," Gary said causing everyone to look at him. "What?"
"Izak is Sunset's boyfriend?" Azula asked surprised.
"He's very close to her and spends the most time with her," Gary said as besides Sparkle, Shimmer took Izak with her when she went to book worlds to train or to recruit.
"So did I when we first started the company," Drake said.
"Yeah but you are way older than her," Eudial said.
"Yeah but I'm surprise that she pick Izak. She literally has her pick of any guy she wants… or woman," Drake said.
"Ah, I guess that she likes guys like him," Adagio said.
"Wait, I spend the a lot of time with Shimmer and I been with her when Izak joins us on our outings and I never seen any romance between them," Sparkle said.
"Since when would you notice that?" Wendy asks.
"Hey you think I wouldn't notice something like that?" Sparkle asked.
"It took Dona telling you of her up coming wedding with Kevin for you to realized that they been dating and making out in your lab out in the open to realize that they're in a relationship. You were too busy in your work to notice," Goldie pointed out.

Magical world Domino -
A meeting has been called for all the rulers of the different magical worlds to attend, in person or by other means. Many of the rulers are attending the meeting by magic viewing windows, others are attending in person. The reason for the meeting is the revelation that Sunset Shimmer who has already made her mark on the magical world with her wanting to make magic into something that everyone can use. Even quoting a line from the villain in one of the Earth's movies, 'When everyone is special, no one will be.' Of what she wanted to do to magic, and the reveal that the man who raised her was Greg Zarya who is from the noble house of Zarya and would had been heir to the house if it wasn't for the fact that he was born without magic. Giving her a reason in why she's making magic nothing more than a common place item on Earth. And now they learn that she's the heir of the throne of Equestria a magical world of legends, sealed off from the rest of the magical world and according tho the old stories and those who were alive when travel to that world was still possible all say that it's the source of all magic.
In the chamber where the meeting is taking place the ones in person are
King Oritel and Queen Marion, Bloom's parents.
King Radius And Queen Luna, Stella's parents.
King Teredor and Queen Niobe, Aisha's parents.
King Erendor and Queen Samara, Sky's parents.
Queen Elyon Brown of Meridian.
And Arcadia who is the first fairy ever in existence. Along with the Ethereal Fairies who are powerful magical creatures. They are timeless and immortal, existing outside of time.
The rest of the rulers and leaders are attending by magic mirrors. Mavilla is speaking to all of them revealing in detail what she has learned from her investigation of Ms. Shimmer. She and Yun Lin have been spying and learning what they could about the company using private investigators and other sources. Helped by the superhero Wall Flower the world greatest detective, who can go unnoticed by everyone to the point where many forget she's even there.
"Ms. Shimmer has been building up resources and military equipment for years now, using her company to hide it. She has been laundering it all into the Private Military Contractors (PMC) company Geo-Defense, run by her friend Kuvira. A number of the employees of Shimmer Exports have under gone combat training and have skills in magic. All points out that Ms. Shimmer has planned to invade Equestria by using her employees as her army," Mavilla said.
"That's the point of this meeting," Wall Flower said on one of the magic mirrors. "In my investigation many of her employees just seemed to appeared out of nowhere about 4 years ago. I check their records and even went to the places they were told to have come from and found nothing. It's my belief that many of them came from other worlds, namely magical ones. Which explains where Ms. Shimmer has gotten a steady supply of funding, she's been getting items from one world where it's cheap and resell it here on Earth. Many businesses that have sprung up that has connections to Shimmer Exports have been laundering all the goods Shimmer has been gathering. Shimmer has been planning this for years and made sure that she'll be ready to take her revenge."
"Well with what kind of mother she has, can you blame her for doing all that?" Elyon asked having watched the meeting between mother and daughter and was horrified at how much of a monster the former ruler of Equestria is.
"If Equestria calls for aid, we have to honor the ancient magical binding oath our worlds made when we were gifted and taught how to wield magic," the blue Ethereal Fairy spoke.
"What oath?" King Oritel asked.
"The oath that all of your first rulers made. I came to be thanks to the magic flowing from Equesa as Equestria was called back then, as did the Ethereal Faries. The ruler Queen Majesty found us and taught us how to wield magic. We traveled across ancient Earth and taught the people we came across how to wield magic. We help the different human groups to travel to other worlds made possible by magic flowing from Equestria to Earth that branched out like tree branches. War broke out with the ancient leaders invading Equestria to control the flow of magic, which only ended when Queen Majesty stop the flow of magic completely. She made the leaders give her a magical binding oath that all of their worlds must follow any command any ruler of Equestria gives to them. Her first order was that none of them can ever try to claim Equestria as theirs and created the barrier that closed off Equestria," Arcadia explains.
"Wait that's what happen?" Elyon asked.
"Your world didn't take part of the invasion so was spared the oath like some others. But most of the worlds represented here did and if the order comes form a ruler of Equestria you will be compel to obey it," Arcadia explains.
"There is also my investigation I uncovered that the Dazzling sisters band are centuries old. Following their paper trail they moved from one place to another. I uncovered photos of them when the camera was first invented and even old paintings of them. They are the sirens of ancient tales," Wall Flower said causing many to gasp in shock hearing the ancient sirens are still alive.
"The sirens have the power to control people with their voices who aren't protected in some way. They been with Shimmer for years now and would in that time have worn her protection down, letting them control her. If Shimmer becomes ruler of Equestria and she's under the mind control of the sirens. They will be able to simple have Shimmer command us to surrender," Mavilla explains.

The United HeroeZ, New York HQ -
In the meeting room with the current president Victory is talking with the leading superheroes. They have been given the report of Wall Flower's investigation of Sunset Shimmer and her company. The entire thing read like one of the villains out of a Bond film, secret bases hidden in plain sight, laundering money and resources using the exporting company to hide it all and undocumented employees appearing out of nowhere.
"I hate to say it but it looks like all this time Shimmer has been a diabolical mastermind who has been using a export company as cover, a boring, but practical cover to amass an army and the resources to run it," Victory said.
"Yes but she is only targeting her mother who left her to die," Majestia said disgusted by what kind of mother would just leave her child to die like that. "I would be a supervillain myself if I had a mother like that."
"True, all of her activities are all targeted at her mother and taking the throne, making this a civil war. Our hands are tied as while she has build up an army but she hasn't done anything illegal that would let us act against her. Some of the other governments are actually want to support Shimmer's claim to the throne. Making things very muddy," Victory said.
"Do we actually want to be on the side of the heartless former ruler who sees everyone around her as a tool to be used and thrown away when she no longer needs them?" Mirage asked pointing out that being against Shimmer means they're on her mother's side.
"There is the matter that the Dazzling sisters are sirens who mind control people with their voices and they been with Shimmer for years," Knightowl points out.
"How much of what Shimmer has done is of her own will or her being under control of the sirens is up in the air. If she's even under their control. But the problem is that Shimmer hasn't broken any laws in any of the countries she is operating in and because of what her mother is she has lots of support," Victory said.
"Laundering money, resources and building up an army to invade a magical world, isn't against any law," said Courtcase the superhero lawyer. "I checked and there isn't anything we can legally do to stop her by USA law. As for the other countries where her company operates, I have to check."
"Meaning we have to wait and see what she's up too," Victory said.

Above Earth -
A portal opens above the south pole and a cloaked Starfleet starship came out of it. The starship Protostar has been heavily modified making it more powerful then it was originally built for. Upgraded with technologies from many different fictions, all made to work together to make the ship more powerful. Technologies from Doctor Who, Transformers, Dune, Battlestar Galactica, The Jetsons, Star Wars, Tenchi Muyo, Aliens, Bravestarr, Marvel universe, DC universe, Captain Harlock, Coyote Ragtime Show, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Cowboy Bebop, Dragonball, Macross, Galaxy Rangers, and many more. All of whom Shimmer had been to in the book worlds and could already combine them together. The Protostar is no longer a exploration ship but a powerful warship.
"It work," Shimmer said having casted a forcefield around herself and her friends incase it didn't work to protect them from the cold. She flexed her body feeling the suit she's wearing underneath her clothes. Based on the high-tech Batsuit of Batman Beyond she has her own black suit that she wears underneath her clothes. The suit gives her increase strength, endurance, and speed, as well as while being fabric-like material still serves as armor.
Shimmer had tried a number of times of coming back with technology and could never bring anything out of the book worlds. But thanks to the combine magic of Discord's chaos magic and the magic umbrella has finally allowed her to bring things out with her. And not taking the chance that it wouldn't be just a one time thing that would only happen again if the same events happen again, Shimmer made sure to stock up first. And she recruited some more friends to help her.
On the bridge with her is Jaws whose real name is Zbigniew Krycsiwiki, born in Poland, the product of a union between the strong man of a traveling circus and the Chief Wardress at the Women's Prison in Cracow. The relationship and subsequent marriage had been a stormy one and, when it broke up, the young Zbigniew stayed with his mother and attended school and subsequently university in Cracow. He grew to a prodigious height but in temperament he followed his father and was surly and uncooperative, given to sudden outbreaks of violent temper. Because of his size he commanded a place in the university basketball team, but he was sluggish of reaction and his lack of speed was constantly exposed by more skillful but less physically endowed players. After a failed attempt at a basketball career, Krycsiwiki was arrested by the secret police for having taken part in the (fictitious) "1972 bread riots". While he was imprisoned, the police "beat him with hollow steel clubs encased in thick leather" until they thought he was dead, leaving his jaw broken beyond repair. Krycsiwiki later escaped and stowed aboard one of Stromberg's vessels. Eventually he was caught, but instead of turning him in, Stromberg hired a prestigious doctor to create an artificial jaw. After 14 operations Krycsiwiki's jaw was restored using steel components that created two rows of terrifying razor-sharp teeth, although Jaws was left mute.
Along with his wife Dolly who Shimmer saved from the crashing space station they were on. Through the use of advance medical technology of Star Trek, fixed up Zbigniew's jaw and he got his voice back. Both of them learned much in the other world's they have been to and gotten married, sticking with Shimmer.
"Well looks like it worked," John Silver said from Treasure Planet.
"Yes, this time it worked. I'll merged you all with your originals selves," Shimmer said who had created magical clones of all of her organic friends she made while in the tv world. The originals are all in the sleeping pods so it be easier if the magic umbrella still worked the same, even with Discord's magic.
"It's so strange having two sets of memories in my head," Dolly said.
"Tick Tock, you and Robby ok in the hold?" Shimmer ask over the intercom.
"Yes, we're ok," Tick Tock the clockwork soldier from Oz said.
"Everything is still here," Robby The Robot said.
In the hold of the ship are the vast collection of items that Shimmer had gathered from many different worlds.
From the Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow movie, Sunset reprogrammed the robots that Doctor Totenkopf created. Not the first time she did it and now has an army of robots under her command. She made sure not to get any robots that have personalities or being self aware. Besides Tick Tock and Robby who she befriended.
Like how from Fleischer Superman cartoons she got the robots from The Mechanical Monsters. Who have no personalities or minds of their owns, who can be destroyed in mass and she doesn't have to worry about it. And because they're old machines with no digital parts in them at all, they're immune to any computer virus or hacking unless you open them up. And even then the robots use punch cards. (2)
Then there are the magical items from many different worlds.
From the world of Galtar and the Golden Lance, the Golden Lance that looks to be nothing more than a simple short staff. Once activated for battle, it sprouts two long blades on each tip, then splits into a pair of swords.
And a encrusted magic armlet that fires ice if the diamond is pressed and fire if the ruby is pressed, the emerald could summon a dragon in its old world.
From the Pirates of the Caribbean the magic compass that points to what the holder wants.
The Sun Sword from Thundarr the barbarian
A can of powder of life from the Return to Oz movie. Producing the Powder of Life requires four separate pots to be stirred constantly for six years. When the liquid has all boiled away the fine white powder left behind measures scarcely a handful. The powder allows anything sprinkled with it to instantly come to life by saying the magic words: "Weaugh, Teaugh, Peaugh".
The Blue Pearl gives to the person who carries it a strength so great that no power can resist them.
The Pink Pearl protects its owner and anyone they touches from all dangers that may threaten, no matter what the source.
The White Pearl can speak, and its words are always wise and helpful.
Expectacles are magical eyeglasses that reveal the immediate future to the wearer.
The magic umbrella that can take the holder anywhere in the world, by flying there and the user holding onto it. It is a large umbrella, as long as an eight- or nine-year-old child is tall. It is far from new; once covered in thick brown cloth, it has faded with the years to a dull drab (except in the creases). It has been described as looking common and very old-fashioned. Its wooden handle is carved in the shape of an elephant's head, the long trunk was curved to form the crook of the handle. The elephant has small red gems for eyes, and two tiny tusks of ivory.
"Alright everyone just as plan," Shimmer said.

Paris, France -
Inside her room, Chloe was besides herself wondering what happen to Shimmer. The hotel was all repaired after Ladybug used her cure but Shimmer was still gone. News of her boss being from another world and being the heir to the throne of a magical world has already spread. With her in her room is Zoe who is watching with her the news, Tusk and Pollen are eating regaining their energy.
"I'm sure she'll be fine," Zoe said watching the news of how some of the governments are looking into Shimmer Exports.
"Yes she will but how long she be gone is another thing," Chloe said worried about her mentor. "I can't believe that Shimmer's mom just saw her as a tool."
"Mom isn't that great, but compared to Shimmer's mom... Didn't Shimmer had herself tested to see if she had family in America?" Zoe asked.
"She did but it's just her human counterpart. Korra explained that to me when I asked her about it. Turns out Earth and Equestia are mirrors to each other and many people here have a counterpart in the pony world," Chloe said.
"So there would be pony us there?" Zoe asked.
"Might be. But with Shimmer's human counterpart dead here. We might not even be alive in the other world," Chloe said.
They heard a tapping on the window and the sisters turned to see Shimmer outside.
"Ms. Shimmer," Chloe said as she rushes over and open her window letting her boss inside, who was flying using a pair of wings on her back.
The two sisters stood in front of Shimmer who was back and wearing the same tank top and shorts she wore when she was zapped into the tv world. But while they were loose on her when she left, they're now more like underwear on her now. Which did nothing to hide her improved body, the sisters had caught sight of her prefect body before, but now everything was now bigger. Shimmer was already a tall woman but now she's a titan of woman, standing over 9 feet tall, with a very muscular built with a curvaceous body. Shimmer was now more like a goddess of divine beauty compared to what she had looked like before. The bird like red wings on her back helped that look, along with the horn on her forehead. Then there are her breasts that stuck out to the two girls who couldn't help but stare at them as they're just too massive for them not to see, made harder due to the fact that both of them had to look up to look at Shimmer's face. Which were obscured by her massive breasts, due to the two young girl's heads only reaching beneath them. Which Shimmer wore them with such womanly pride that they made her appear even more Queenly and regal.
Shimmer sat down on Chloe's bed that sank underneath her massive body.
"Alright girls, I'm guessing with all the reporters outside and how I heard them asking me about I'm really a princess from a magical world. My secret is out. So girls tell me what happen," Shimmer asked the two sisters who just continue to stare at her.

Author's Notes -
1 - Twilight panicking and making a rash decision that she doesn't think through, is something that she would do as she does all the time in cannon.
2 - The robots that use punch cards and are clockwork would be immune to computer viruses and hacking. How do you hack something that uses punch cards and runs on clock gears.
