Cloudsdale Crisis

Chapter 3: Cloudsdale Crisis

The second that they arrived back in Ponyville Annie and Twilight headed to the Library. After explaining to Spike what was going on they went to find the next Element of Life.

“Why did they have to put it in riddle?” asked Twilight.

“I don’t know.” Said Annie, “They were probably from a different universe than us. One where riddles are spoken all the time…”

“Compassion lies ever floating, never touching the ground, a place where clouds are born.” Read Twilight, “Of course, this one it's so obvious.”

“What do you mean?” asked Annie.

“Cloudsdale. It’s a city that entirely made of clouds.” Explained Twilight, “Plus most of the clouds in Equestria are born there.”

“Are you guys almost done?” asked Spike, “You forget to put back the books that you didn’t need.”

Indeed they were surrounded by books, massive stacks of books.

“Why did there have to be two of them.” Muttered Spike picking up the books, “And why did they have to be the same…”

“Well we should tell everyone.” Said Twilight, “Let’s go to Pinkie’s first… I think she might be a bad influence on your friend.”

“I doubt it, I think she might be a bad influence on Tory and Abed.” Said Annie.

There was an awkward silence…

“Wait, Pinkie’s with somepony who might be a bad influence and she might be a bad influence on them?” asked Spike, “This I gotta see.”

{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}

They got to Sugar Cube Corner to find… they were… well both right.

Abed was dressed like the Inspector, Troy was dressed like Reggie and Pinkie was dressed like Geneva. Not only that but Troy was what looked like to be five cupcakes in his mouth and Pinkie was trying to give him the Heimlich.

“I think we should have cupcake breaks along with bathroom breaks while here.” Said Abed.

Pinkie was able to get the cupcakes out of Troy’s mouth.

“How were you able to do it?” Said Troy.

“Don’t know.” Answered Pinkie with a shrug.

Twilight cleared her throat causing the three to stare at them.

“How long were you there?” asked Troy.

“Less than a minute after I came out of the bathroom.” Answered Abed.

Spike couldn’t help but to burst out laughing.

“Just ignore him.” Sighed Twilight.

“Did you find the next element?” asked Abed.

“It’s in Cloudsdale.” Said Twilight.

“Cloudsdale? What’s that?” asked Troy in the least convincing way possible.

“You know about Cloudsdale?” asked Twilight staring at him, wondering why he was using a tone voice like he was lying.

“No of course not…” lied Troy.

“It’s a city in the clouds.” Said Pinkie, “It’s really awesome!”

“I have to go get the hot air balloon.” Said Twilight, “Can all of you get the others?”

“I don’t know, we just got back a couple hours ago…” said Troy.

“We don’t have time to rest.” Said Twilight.

Pinkie took out maps from somewhere and gave them to Annie, Troy and Abed.

“I’m going to get Rarity and Shirley.” Said Pinkie, “I’m sure that Rarity is giving her an unwanted make over.”

“Oh I want to see that.” Said Troy.

“You’re the only who can get to Rainbow Dash’s house.” Pointed out Twilight.

“Oh… yeah…” mumbled Troy.

And so they all headed to tell the others that they found out where the next Element was.

{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}

Pinkie headed towards Carousel Boutique with Spike.

“So… what were you doing?” asked Spike.

“Playing Inspector Spacetime.” answered Pinkie.

“I see…” said Spike not sure what Inspector Spacetime, and a part of him wasn’t sure if wanted to know.

{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}

They got to the boutique with Shirley backed into a corner.

“I told you I don’t need a makeover.” Said Shirley.

“Oh come now, you can’t like the way your mane is…” said Rarity.

“I’m fine the way my hair is…” said Shirley.

“But it’s so messy and unkempt.” Said Rarity.

“This is just the way it is.” Said Shirley.

“Hi!” called out Pinkie, “They already found the next element!”

“Oh thank the lord!” said Shirley running towards Pinkie.

“I’ll get you next time…” mumbled Rarity, she looked at Spike, “Spike be a dear and watch the shop for me.”

“Okay Rarity.” Spike replied in full on love mode.

{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}

Meanwhile at Fluttershy’s cottage, Fluttershy was feeding her animals, while Jeff laid on her couch staring at the ceiling.

That was when he saw Angel hop towards him.

“What do you want?” he asked.

Angel pointed to Jeff, then pointed outside and started to pretend cry, then made a motion as if he strangling someone then once again pointed at Jeff.

“What?” asked Jeff.

“I think he said that if you make Fluttershy cry he’ll kill you.” Said Abed suddenly showing up.

Jeff jumped, “Where did you come from?” he asked.

“I teleported in.” said Abed, “I figured out how to do it last night. It’s actually quite easy, you just picture where you want to be and you’re there.”

“I see…” Jeff slowly, he was freak out by it.

Angel stared at the strange unicorn then nodded.

“Why would he think I’d make her cry?” asked Jeff.

“Well when compared to ponies, you’re a complete and utter bastard… no offense.” Said Jeff.

“I can’t be that bad.” Said Jeff, “I mean I’m sure there’s scam artist ponies like that one from the Simpsons.”

Abed stared at Jeff, “It’s strange that you would make such a reference.”

“What’s that supposed to mean?” asked Jeff.

That was when Fluttershy came into the room before Abed could say anymore.

“Oh Abed…” whispered Fluttershy, “When did you get here?”

“Less than a minute ago.” Said Abed, “Annie and Twilight found the next element already and wanted me to tell you.”

“Okay.” Whispered Fluttershy.

As they left, Jeff looked at Angel one more time, who did the “I’m watching you” motion.

At Rainbow Dash’s house, she was in a conversation with Britta, about Peirce.

“But his dad was even worse.” Said Britta.

“How so?” asked Rainbow Dash.

Before Britta could say anything there was a knock on the door, Rainbow Dash opened it and saw it was Derpy.

“Morning Rainbow Dash!” said Derpy handing her the mail.

“Morning Derpy.” replied Rainbow Dash.

Britta looked at Derpy, “So that’s Derpy.” She mumbled.

She flew over to the door and was about to reassure Derpy about her disabilities, when she heard a squee, as it turns out Troy had just arrived and was trying to stop himself from squeeing at the cross eyed Pegasus.

“Oh this is Britta and Troy, they’re in town for a while.” Said Rainbow Dash.

“Hey there!” greeted Derpy.

“Don’t worry…” said Britta, “I won’t look down just because you’re disabled.”

Rainbow Dash face hoofed when she said that.

“What’s that supposed it mean?” asked Derpy who was clearly offended at the poorly constructed olive branch.

“Nothing…” responding Britta realizing that she made a mistake.

“What just because I’m cross eyed means I’m disabled?” asked Derpy who was getting angry.

“No… I didn’t mean it that way.” responded Britta.

“You’re the worst, I demand apology muffins and you better have them next time I see you.” Muttered Derpy glaring at her harshly.

Derpy flew off to continue her route leaving everyone in stunned silence.

“What just happened?” asked Troy.

“I don’t know…” sighed Rainbow Dash, “I didn’t know it was even possible to get her angry!”

At Sweet Apple Acres, Annie managed to find Applejack.

“Hey there Annie.” Said Applejack, “Did you and Twi find the next element?”

“We did.” Said Annie.

“All right, let’s go get Peirce.” Said Applejack.

As they headed to the house, Annie asked an important question.

“Did you tell your family about what’s going on?”

“I did…” said Applejack, “And considering the other stuff we’ve fought Granny Smith had Big Macintosh aren’t surprised.”

“I see.” Said Annie.

{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}

They got to the house where they saw Granny Smith was looking at Peirce as he ate a pie.

“This has to be the best pie I have ever eaten.” Said Peirce.

“Awww shucks Mr. Hawthorn…” said Granny.

“Call me Peirce…” said Peirce, “Mr. Hawthorn was my father.”

The two watched as Granny Smith made the moves on Peirce. Applejack tried her best not to vomit.

“Ewww…” muttered Annie.

Annie went over to Peirce and used her new magic skill to tug on his ear.

“Sorry, but we have to go.” Said Annie.

“Not so hard…” muttered Peirce.

“I’m just going to pretend I didn’t see that.” Mumbled Applejack then she followed them.

{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}

They all managed to meet up at the place where the hot air balloon is kept.

“As you may or not know the next element is in Cloudsdale.” Said Twilight, “I’m going to apply the clouds walking spell in the air.”

“Can we all fit in there?” asked Jeff looking at the rather small hot air balloon.

“I’m sure it can fit 9 ponies.” Said Twilight.

“And Gilligan cut.” Said Abed.

Everyone stared at Abed.

“What?” asked Applejack.

“Just ignore that.” Said Jeff.

{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}

The non-Pegasi were crowded and cramped in the basket of the balloon.

“Okay… who’s butt in my face.” Said Annie.

“Oh no… who’s stepping on my tail?” asked Rarity.

“Next time get a bigger hot air balloon.” Muttered Jeff.

The Pegasi stared at the balloon, all of them relieved they didn’t have to be in there.

“I’m so happy I’m a Pegasus right now.” Said Troy.

{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}

Thankfully they got to Cloudsdale without crashing.

“Okay…” said Twilight, “I’m going to apply the cloud walking spell now… I know I should have done it earlier sorry…”

“Look! I don’t believe this cloud walking spell is needed, they can stand on the clouds so can I!” Said Peirce pointing to the four Pegasi in the group.

Peirce jumped out of the basket, on to a cloud and of course immediately fell through it, everyone couldn’t help but to stare at what just happened.

“I’d say let him fall, but we still need him to save the universe.” Said Jeff.

“I’ll go save him.” Muttered Rainbow Dash, thankfully she didn’t have to resort to the Sonic Rainboom.

{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}

After that little ordeal, thankfully Twilight managed to properly apply the Cloud Walking spell.

“Why couldn’t you just place it on me before I did that!” said Peirce.

“You’re the one who thought you could stand on the clouds.” Muttered Twilight.

{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}

Meanwhile in Canterlot, in the Palace specifically the seal, a black blob came out of it.

The blog took the form of a crow then flew out of a window, after all it couldn’t let anyone know of its existence, at least not yet…

{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}

Back up in the clouds in the city of Cloudsdale…

“So where do you think it might be?” asked Annie.

“I think I remember seeing a statue like the one back in the palace near the weather factory.” Saud Rainbow Dash, “But it’s been years…”

“The weather factory?” asked Shirley.

“Why do you sound surprised?” asked Rainbow Dash.

“We don’t control the weather in our universe.” Said Annie, “It happens naturally.”

“Seriously?” asked Rainbow Dash, “And I guess plants grow on their own.”

There was an awkward silence.

“Wow… your universe is weird.” Said Pinkie.

“Our universe is the normal one, this one is the weird one.” Said Jeff.

Before a rather childish argument could happen there were several screams, Rainbow Dash flew over to see what was going on and found a perfect round hole in the cloud. Around the hole several Pegasi were freaking out.

“What happened?” asked Rainbow Dash.

“A weird black bird suddenly landed and caused that hole.” Cried a Pegasus filly.

That was when the crow tried to fly into Rainbow Dash, but Rainbow Dash dodged. The crow landed creating another hole in the clouds.

“Great…” muttered Rainbow Dash.

The bird once again flew towards Rainbow Dash at the same time the others arrived.

“What’s going on?” asked Twilight.

“That thing is caused by whatever it’s called.” Said Rainbow Dash.

“Singularity.” corrected Twilight.

“Whatever.” Muttered Rainbow Dash trying to fly away from it.

Applejack decided to try to lasso it, however when she used it the rope dissolved.

“Crud…” muttered Applejack.

However this only caused the crow to turn its attention onto Applejack, who ran as fast she could.

“Hey!” yelled Rainbow Dash to the Pegasi of Cloudsdale, “Do any of you know where a weird stone ball on a pillar?”

“I have, I pass it on the way to work.” Said a grey mare with a purple and blue mane and tail, “I’ll show the way…”

“Wait…” said Abed, “I have a theory, Twilight can you make a rope made of entirely magic?”

“Why?” asked Twilight.

“Because I have an idea.” Said Abed.

“Go on ahead.” Said Twilight figuring it out.

The grey mare named Peppermint Crunch lead the way to the element.

{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}

“So… do you have a relative named Mintberry Crunch?” asked Troy.

“No…” said Peppermint, “Why?”

“No reason.” Said Troy.

None of the others from Earth currently watched South Park so none of them got the joke.

{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}

Back with Applejack she continued to run hoping that she wouldn’t run out of cloud with the bird tailing her.

That was when suddenly the crow was tied up with a purple rope.

Applejack turned around breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the rope coming from Twilight’s horn.

Applejack saw Abed next to her.

“I came up with a theory, it seems that it dissolves matter.” Said Abed, “I thought Magic might work as magic must be energy. Turns out I was right.”

“Well he is the element of knowledge.” Sighed Twilight.

The bird struggled in the rope, but it wasn’t able to escape.

“We just need to figure out how to get rid of it.” Said Abed, “Now if only we had some kind ghost trap…”

{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}

Meanwhile near the weather factor Peppermint Crunch showed them to the statue which was indeed the next element.

“So who goes first?” asked Annie.

“Peirce.” Said Jeff.

“Oh come on.” Said Peirce.

“We need to see which one fits you best.” Said Jeff.

“Fine.” Muttered Peirce knowing he was just the test subject.

He grabbed the orb, but it electrocuted him.

“I’m sure being a psych major, I’ll be the one to get it.” Said Britta.

“Former psych major.” Corrected Jeff.

Britta touched the orb and she too got an electric shock.

“Okay who’s next?” asked Jeff.

“I’ll try it.” Said Troy.

He grabbed the orb next and there was a bright flash of light and encompassed all of Cloudsdale.

{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}

Where Twilight, Abed and Applejack were the crow dissolved with an unearthly scream.

{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}

Back at where the element was kept, the light died down revealing that it was now a gold necklace with a bright green crystal the shape of wrench.

“All right!” cheered Troy.

“So what’s going on exactly?” asked Peppermint.

“We’ll tell you later.” Said Pinkie.

{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}

The group groups once again met up, and when Abed saw that Troy found his element they did their secret hand shake.

“So I guess maybe we should head back and find the next element.” Said Twilight.

“Do it tomorrow.” Said Jeff.

“Yeah…” agreed Rainbow Dash, “I haven’t been able to get any sleep in the last day.”

“But…” said Twilight.

“Look the Princess said we have like two weeks.” Said Jeff, “I’m sure we have plenty of time…”

“Fine” muttered Twilight, “If anything happens, I’m blaming you…”

{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}

In the seal, Singularity became angry, they had found the weakness of its golems… Magic… hopefully it’s next golem will be able to do its job and kill them… after all one touch can kill a normal pony... it would bring Equestria into nothingness and those Element Bearers couldn’t stop them if they tried.
