Now for a good ensemble song with most of the main cast. As caravans of citizens brave the treacherous journey to Fort Applemaddox, (dangerous meaning monsters popping in and out of Equestria), coordinated efforts are being carried out by young and old, S.A.E.M. and P.A.E.M. and other anti-military groups. Meanwhile Applemaddox's forces are being overwhelmed, asking for air support, using their tanks, turrets, infantry, etc., to fight off the hordes. Some fighting even traverses into Equestria and human genetic makeup is never changed, along with its weapons. It's a technology vs. magic bloodbath. Sunset's friends also help out in their own capacities. (e.g. Rarity provides diamond strength armor, and projectiles to immobilize military personnel, Rainbow Dash speedily disarms soldiers, AppleJack tips tanks, Fluttershy provides swarms of insects/scorpions/birds to drive infantry away and clear a path). Picket Gate is now getting large migraines, nosebleeds, and nausea. At this critical juncture (with the Mars alignment, mass violence, and anger) Shattered Gate has now found his opening to awaken. The wings are out, the ears have moved at the top of his head, his hair protruding down. Now he joins the fray to help Equestrian creatures, while the rest of his friends try to contain him. (Ivy Drip's experiments with Fluttershy's feather have only proven that acid could ground him).

During this war, Sunset's friends have now approached the side doors to AppleMaddox's entrance to meet Nebulus Wave and Discord. There is just too much going on with soo many targets (human and monster), that getting by was rather simple. Btw, Shattered Gate's magic is akin to Thano's snap. After he snaps his fingers with one hand and points a target with another, that target becomes instantly incinerated. Next Track: As the Real World Turns.
