In no time, the trio were right in action, hovering quietly above the corridor ceilings at the same time evading Ahuizotl’s henchponies.
“Where are we supposed to go?” inquired Greenie.
“We need to get to Ahuizotl’s throne room,” answered Fearless. “I wanna see what he’s up to now. As far as I know, he’s on a feverish quest on conquering Equestria.”
“You remind me of a great nemesis Princess Twilight Sparkle told me about,” added Thunder. “She, too wants to take over the universe!”
“Is that so? Then I hope that he’s not affiliated with her!”
They continued moving on until they spotted light coming from a corner.
“I guess that’s it. The throne room!” declared Fearless.
After making sure there was nopony around, they descended from the ceiling, and walked quietly towards the light.
“Jeepers! There he is!” whispered Greenie when they peeped through the wall. They could see Ahuizotl briefing with his henchponies, at the same time taming his wildcats.
“… and when I deal with Fearless Fray later, I will search for Daring Do,” said Ahuizotl in a mad tone. “And when I’m done with Daring Do, the whole of Equestria shall be mine! ...”
“Gosh, he really is mad,” said Thunder.
“Time to put a good show,” said Fearless, determined.
“Now then, if I can find the whole of Daring Do’s house, how can I search for her secret thing that makes my dream come true?” asked Ahuizotl.
“Oh really?” interrupted Fearless, stepping into the room. “Does my house look like a safe vault to you?”
“Wait, how did you…!”
“You’d thought I wasn’t as smart as my mom, huh?”
“Ughhh…” roared Ahuizotl. “Get him!”
As the henchponies advanced towards Fearless, Greenie and Thunder snapped up to his side.
“Let’s do this!” said Greenie.
“I ain’t no weak fighter!” replied Fearless.
With that, the trio did an all-out combat with the henchponies. Despite having strong built, yet they couldn’t keep up with their agile speed.
“I didn’t think they could be this much,” Fearless told Greenie amidst the battle. “Without you I’d be overwhelmed already!”
“Seems like you get what I said just now,” replied Greenie, and they continued.
Thunder was the smallest among the three, yet he was as fast as his sister.
“Over here, suckers!”
He was right in front of Ahuizotl, who was in an attempt to grab hold of him. As the henchponies raced towards him, Ahuizotl readied his hands, trying to get him. But Thunder dodged sideways, causing the henchponies to knock Ahuizotl down. As Ahuizotl fell, he toppled the throne chair, revealing a red gem.
Greenie and Fearless turned to his direction when they heard the crash.
“That’s the one!” Fearless called to Thunder. “Smash it and the whole place will be down!”
“No, wait, don’t let them do it!” screamed Ahuizotl as he struggled to get up.
But Thunder had already pulled out the gem. He tried to make his way through the mob, attempting to hand the gem over to his sister and his senior.
“Catch it!” yelled Thunder as he sent the gem hurtling towards them.
But another henchpony caught it. He tried throwing it back to Ahuizotl, but Thunder managed to catch it back. He threw it to them again.
This went on and on until Thunder successfully passed it to Greenie and Thunder. It landed right in front of them, but their hooves got it at the same time, shattering it.
It was when all hell broke loose.
The fortress trembled, with stones and rubble raining upon them.
“Good job,” said Fearless to Greenie. He called to Thunder. “Let’s get outta here!”
At once, a section of the ceiling gave way and the trio zoomed through the hole to escape through it.
Ahuizotl could only watch the three pegasi escape before the whole building collapsed into him and his henchponies. In less than a minute, the fortress was completely obliterated. A few seconds later, Ahuizotl popped out of the rubble.
“Fearless Fray, just you wait! I still have my plans!” he yelled before passing out unconscious.
Greenie, Thunder and Fearless managed to fly for a safe distance before coming to a rest at a tree.
“You remind me of somepony my mom used to tell me,” Fearless told her. “The name’s Rainbow Dash, she’s got a rainbow-colored mane, just like you.”
“Oh, you’re talking about my mom?”
“You’re her daughter?” Fearless rolled his eyes. “This is ridiculous! You’re blowing off my mind!”
“We got our minds blown, too when you said you’re Daring Do’s son,” added Thunder.
“Seriously,” admitted Fearless. “The world is too small to even know our connections.”
They spent the night on the tree until dawn broke across Equestria. They then headed towards Fearless’ home.
When they reached the house, Fearless opened the door and stepped inside. Surprisingly, who should be somepony else, was no other than Daring Do. She was well asleep on her work desk. Fearless proceeded towards her.
“Mom, mom?” called Fearless.
Daring opened a sleepy eye. “Fearless?” she asked, her face turned from sleepiness to surprise.
“I… I’m sorry mom,” he confessed with tears, hugging with his reunited relative. “I just realized what I did. I promise not to be rebellious again…!”
“It’s alright, I forgive you,” replied Daring. “You’re still my son, after all.”
This made Greenie and Thunder feel homesick.
“Oh gee,” said Thunder with tears. “I’m starting to miss everypony, even Mom and Dad in Ponyville now.”
Then Daring Do turned to the siblings.
“So,” began Daring Do, smiling at them. “You two are related to Rainbow Dash, huh?”
“Err, well,” stammered Greenie. “Actually…”
“Mom, they’re her children,” finished Fearless.
“*gasp* Oh my, I am surprised,” cried Daring as she shook hooves with them. “You really resemble Rainbow Dash a lot, kid,” she said after noticing Greenie’s rainbow-colored mane.
“Well, you can say.”
“I suppose you must have encountered with him when he left me yesterday. If that’s so, then I thank you all for teaching my son a lesson,” said Daring.
“They made me go back to the right path, Mom,” explained Fearless.
“It’s a great pleasure,” said Thunder. “Can I ask you something?”
“What is it?”
“May I have your autograph?” asked Thunder, producing the book Daring Do and the Quest for the Sapphire Stone he had been bringing along the journey.
“Oh my goodness, you’ve became my fans as well,” cried Daring. “Wait for a moment, please.” She took the book from Thunder before entering into the workplace, then returned a while later, with something wedged in the book.
“Open it and see what’s inside!”
Thunder opened the cover. There, on the first page was Daring Do’s autograph, with the words “Thank you for visiting!”, and a very valuable gemstone.
“Th-this is gorgeous,” gasped Greenie.
“Hay yeah!” exclaimed Thunder. “Now it’s time for Pizza to feel jealous!”
“I’m sorry to say we gotta go now,” said Greenie. “We are missing home right now.”
“Oh, that’s alright,” said Daring. “But do come and visit us someday! Give my regards to your mother!”
“And we’ll come and visit Ponyville if we can!” bade Fearless.
With that, the siblings headed home for Ponyville as the morning sun of Equestria rose higher.
