Alright, so. To recap...

After spending an entire night planning on how to eliminate the Mane Six and collect their Elements of Harmony, he decides on the simplest solution: Distract the Mane Six and steal the Elements of Harmony. He then orders the two spies that are stationed in Bright Spark's place to ship him some robotic ponies so he can modify them to look like rival Pegasi racers and program them to challenge Rainbow Dash to a race so the Mane Six would watch the race take place and have his agents steal the Elements of Harmony unnoticed. This works and, after Mane Six discovered that the "rival Pegasi racers" were actually robots when Rainbow Dash accidentally injures one of the racers, later the Red Crystals discovered that the Elements of Harmony were stolen. They suspect that Bright Spark is the culprit and decided to go after him. Alan, pleased by this, proceeds to use the Elements of Harmony to power his most powerful war machine yet so he can kill the Mane Six & the Red Crystals once and for all.

While Alan prepares his killing machine, the Mane Six & the Red Crystals seize an assault on Bright Spark's place. Bright Spark was genuinely confused from this because he didn't do anything evil for the past few weeks, but nonetheless, he sends out his best troops to stop the heroes. In a quick side story, Fork-Bot discovers the HyperTech spies (who were fitted with rather convincing holographic pony disguises, even to his standards) and chases after them while avoiding the wrath of the heroes for now. After the heroic alliance got past Bright Spark's defenses and after a brief boss fight with him (how it will work is your choice), they demand to know where Bright Spark is keeping the Elements of Harmony. Bright Sparks states that this time, he's innocent and didn't steal the Elements of Harmony, but of course, they didn't believe him. They eventually do, however, when Fork-Bot manages to capture the HyperTech spies and show them to Bright Spark, proving his innocence. After a reluctant apology, the Red Crystals & the Mane Six aim for Alan's main base of operations (the tower at a lone island in San Fransico), with Bright Spark joining the heroic alliance as he out to get revenge on Alan. When Alan finds out about this (especially when they're breezing through his supertight security), he panics. He knew that if his machine isn't ready, he will be in hot water. He then proceeds to send out his best forces (which are twice as strong as Bright Spark's).

After the Mane Six & the Red Crystals got through of Alan's forces, they eventually confront Alan himself, who had just finished making the machine. Alan activates the machine and he and the heroic alliance fought. However, before the machine could actually cause any serious damage on the Red Crystals or the Mane Six, Bright Spark appears with his own machine, and fight Alan's machine, something Alan wasn't expecting. The battle between machines begins. While Alan's machine is fighting Bright Spark's machine, Fork-bot manages to sneak around and find a way to regain the elements of harmony. Fork-bot uses the elements of harmony to go super, and destroys the machine, ending the battle. After this, Fork-bot goes towards the Red Crystals and the Mane Six in his super form. However, The Mane Six take control of the Elements of Harmony and defeat Bright Spark & Fork-bot before they can do anything else. The villains are defeated, and the Mane Six reclaim the Elements of Harmony.

Before the Mane Six or the Red Crystals leave, they found Alan injured from the wreckage and found out his secret: due to the destruction of the machine, it has destroyed Alan's disguised, revealing his Inkling form. Alan attempts to change the subject by giving them a "Reason You Suck" speech, telling them that they just can't defeat evil with the power of friendship, stating that friendship is only an "emotional state of ignorance." However, the Mane Six tells Alan that it isn't what friendship is about and briefly explain to him on what true friendship really is. Twilight even offers Alan a chance in redemption. However, Alan harshly rejects the offer, telling them that he is perfectly fine at where he is right now and doesn't care if he will be labeled either a hero or a villain; he will do whatever it takes to bring villainy and any who stood against him to their knees, even if he has to kill heroes like her. He then uses the same trick Dr. Zack did in Deadly Alliance; he ejects them out of his base via an ejection mechanism.
