The voyage begins

Chapter 23: The voyage begins

Twilight, Coocoodrill, Rarity, Paramail, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, and Blubayou found themselves at a bustling city dock. When they looked towards their right, they saw ships moving about in the large Buckston Bay. To their left, they saw large buildings in which the smallest was at least twice the size of an average Ponyville building. All of the ponies around were shopping, sailing, and sightseeing.

Despite their peaceful surroundings, the group had to get to Coocoodrill's parent's house. Both Scones and their ship were there, ready to sail. As they made their way through the crowds, many ponies looked at the heavily geared group in bewilderment. Some even took one look at Blubayou and looked away in disgust. Blu tried as hard as he could to ignore the staring. He looked towards Applejack for support, but she only signaled him to simply ignore it. Blue tried to ignore but he couldn't help but notice the group got more space to walk when he moved about.

After a few minutes worth of walking, they encountered a large house by the bay. Next to the house were many docked ships. One particularly grandiose ship in particular looked ready to go. It was painted pure white, had shining golden sails, and was the largest ship of the group. As they went by it, they could see the name S.S Beluga at the side. Rarity put down her heavy pack for a minute and admired the ship.

"My goodness! What a fabulous ship!" The white mare delightfully commented as she continued to be entranced by the sheer design of the nautical vessel.

Twilight took a little time to turn towards her friend to add her two cents. "It has to be. I've read that this ship was made to be a worthy successor of the legendary S.S Cetus. I heard that this boat can manipulate the wind, travel the entire world in a week, and with such stability, seasickness isn't going to be a problem."

Rainbow Dash raised an eyebrow. "How's that?"

"Magic. But anyways, this ship is literally the ship for a cause like this. With a masterpiece like this, we can probably make it to Phobos in less than a day." Twilight let out a light squeal. "Seriously, we're making history here. The Legendary Captain of the Cetus would be proud of such a ship." She then turned to the Green Unicorn. "Isn't that right Coocoo?"

Coocoodrill just tilted his head and looked at her as if she had three heads. "What are talking about?"

Twilight was baffled by how his parents could be such successful sea goers, but their own son had exactly no idea what she was talking about. But she never really knew how long he was in Diamondale after being expelled from the Academy. So she kept her mouth shut about it. But when she looked at Pinkie Pie, the lavender pony could easily tell that the curly haired mare knew the reason why. But rather than dwelling on the subject, Twilight decided to drop the subject and began to walk towards the large house, soon followed by the others.

Coocoodrill knocked on the door and after thirty seconds, the door opened to show two unicorns; a mare and a stallion. The mare was tan with a light yellow mane that was made into a braided ponytail. The stallion was as blue as the oceans with a short black mane but a scruffy beard and mustache. The mare had a ship's steering wheel for a cutie mark while the stallion had a rope tied in a sailor's knot for one. Twilight had a feeling these were Coocoo's parents.

"Hi mom. Hi dad. How's it…" Before the green unicorn could even finish his greeting, his father got him into an affectionate bear hug.

"Welcome home son!" His father happily greeted his child. "We haven't seen you in forever!" His voice was a rough Fillydelphian accent as if he swallowed too much seawater in his lifetime.

His mother playfully ruffled her son's mane. "We missed you so much!" She then turned towards the rest of the ponies.

"Why hello there! I'm Tansand and my husband's Ropeknot! We heard from the Princess herself that you're all off on an important adventure to save all of Equestria from total demise and despair for all eternity!" She noticed everypony's horrified expression, so she changed the subject a little. "But anyways, your little pixie pony friend is with us. We were just having tea." She let out a sigh of pity. "Poor thing's got no mouth to eat."

Twilight, Pinkie, Coocoodrill were relieved to hear that Scones made it to Fillydelphia without a problem. Rarity was still unsure about allying herself and her friends with a Mara that had previously tried to hurt their loved ones.

Rainbow Dash, along with the rest of them had no idea what Coocoo's parents were talking about. "Pixie what?"

Scones walked out of the house and stood behind the two sailors. The Mara then politely greeted all of the Elements with a wave. Rainbow Dash, Blubayou, Applejack, and Paramail were slightly concerned about having a Mara in their group. But each one dealt with it in their own way. Applejack had a feeling that if her cousin Blu can be on their side, so can this Scones fellow. Blubayou considered it hypocritical to be against somepony that was in the same position as him. Rainbow Dash, being the Element of Loyalty, fully trusted Twilight's reasons for having a Mara on board with them (as navigator no less). Paramail was just glad to have another helping hoof for the mission.

Twilight looked at Scones confused and slightly weirded out. "Pixie? Seriously Scones?"

Scones just shrugged and wrote in its notebook and showed it to the eight Elements.

"They said it. Just go with it."

Tansand then firmly took and shook Twilight's hoof. "You must be Twilight Sparkle! You're everywhere on the papers and such!"

As Twilight tried to comprehend being so popular in the papers, Tansand continued to speak. "I am so happy my little boy found a nice girl like you to be with!"

Coocoodrill's and Twilight's eyes immediately went wide open. "WHAT?"

Rarity, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Paramail also couldn't comprehend the concept of Coocoo and Twilight dating. Such an idea was completely alien to them. They just looked at the unicorns with their jaws agape.

Blubayou just looked around, wondering what the big deal was. He did not know the two well enough and from what he saw, it was more of an orderly mare/chaotic stallion partner duo. Although he also noticed some sort of strange older sister/younger brother, strict wife/aloof husband, and even a mother/son relationship with them while he was being interrogated. The amphibipony just shook his head to get the strange thoughts out of his head.

Those two have one messed up relationship! Yeesh! And ponies say I'm the freak!

Pinkie Pie just giggled and began to bounce around the purple pony as she sang. "Twilight and Coocoo sitting in a tree! K-I-S-S-I-N-G! First comes love! Then comes marriage! Then Twi and Cooks have a baby carriage!" She then did a back flip. "And then I can be the token awesome aunt that discreetly gives the kids sugar, thus making it my fault if they grow up being overly energetic. But I bet it won't hurt their education one bit. Hopefully."

Twilght quickly spoke up in borderline panic as she waved her forehooves around and shook her head. "NO, NO, NO! It's not like that!"

Coocoodrill slipped out of his father's tight embrace and also rejected the idea, but a little more casually. "Nah! It's not like that at all. We're only buds." He wrapped a hoof around Twilight. "Besides, us being in love? No way! Too cliché! Somepony else another day!" He shook the distraught mare. "Right Twi?"

Twilight only imagined the hypothetical child between her and Coocoo. Between her unique traits and his unique traits, the foal would be…average. Paramail level average. Nopony wants to be Paramail level average. That's the kind of average you think would make for nice parenting, but then it turns out that they merely live out a mundane life. From what she could tell, even Paramail was disgruntled with his overly mundane life. It took being an Element to make his life more interesting; an Element that hardly anypony knew existed. That child might not be so lucky. Twilight would rather live the rest of her life alone than have an average child. And she didn't even want to think about such a married life.

"Twi?"

Applejack's voice ended her inner nightmare. She then quickly nodded her head to answer whatever Coocoodrill said.

Tansand and Ropeknot understood just fine. They looked at the rest of the mares, who also just quickly shook their heads. The two then just let out a sigh and gave one another the "No grandkids for us" look.

But then Ropeknot noticed something about the group. He spoke up about it. "Wait one second here?" He pointed towards all of the elements, stopping at Blubayou. Blu just gulped, wondering what this was about.

Tansand also looked intently at the group, but finally spoke up about it with concern. "Yeah. Something's fishy about this whole thing."

Blu was hoping this wasn't about him. He didn't want to be labeled a monster by benefactors too.

"Where Fluttershy?" Tansand asked her husband. "You know that absolutely gorgeous mare from those magazines?"

Ropeknot just shrugged. "I don't know. I don't read those things."

Paramail revisited last night's painful memory in his head over and over again. Rainbow saw her friend go catatonic on them, so she spoke up for him. "Well to put it bluntly…"

The teal pegasus suddenly and quickly called out. "She's been taken by evil forces and we gotta save her and all of Equestria! If not, we'll be forced to live in eternal nightmare!" He then began to hyperventilate. "I don't wanna live in eternal nightmare."

As the stallion tried to get his fears under control, Tansand and Ropeknot took a closer inspection at the blue stallion. When they noticed he wasn't your average pony, they used their magic to move the other ponies to make a pathway for themselves towards Blubayou. Before Blu could react, he was held still by Rope Knot's magic as Tan Sand magically summoned a bunch of tools that are used for biological study. Before Blu could even protest, they took him into their home to examine his unique body structure.

Coocoodrill awkwardly turned to the others. "Did I mention my parents are also specialized in marine biology?"

"What in tarnation do they think they're doing to my cousin?" Applejack shouted as she stomped a hoof in displeasure. It took the Rainbow Dash, Coocoodrill, Scones, Pinkie Pie, and Paramail to prevent her from barging right in.

"Let it go AJ." Rainbow Dash told her, struggling to maintain her hold on her. "They're only learning about his…uh…biological functions as an amphibious pony. He can have all kinds of special cells that can help society in general for medicine and stuff. But on a brighter side, they're probably just doing a checkup. You know, give him a biological name. Like Equus Amphibios or something fancy-smancy like that if not fancier. So just cool down AJ, It'll be alright."

Everypony stopped and listened to her little scientific rant. Rainbow just indifferently shrugged. "What? I copied from Baldy during science class."

All the other ponies nodded in understanding. But after ten seconds, Paramail's mouth went agape when he realized what she said. But he could only mutter a small and pathetic "What?" as the cyan mare offered an apologetic and sheepish grin.

Twilight was highly curious of this Hazelhoof pony. She was the only pony she knew who managed to escape Phobos in one piece. Sure her mind was partially twisted, but she must at least have tips for such a journey. She magically lifted Coocoodrill towards her.

"Where's Hazelhoof Coocoo?" The lavender mare said as she put the green stallion down.

Coocooodrill looked around for a bit then spoke up. "Gram-Gram's not around anymore."

Twilight immediately regretted asking her question. She placed a hoof on his shoulder and looked into his eyes. "I am so sorry. I didn't…"

"She's in a retirement home." Coocoo interrupted wondering why Twilight was so saddened all of a sudden.

All Twilight could say was "Oh" as she awkwardly looked away, taking her hoof off of his shoulder. All of the ponies then started to hear noises coming from the house. And they all wished that they didn't hear a thing."

"Is this really necessary now?"

"Of course Blu. We just need to know what species you are. You are a very unique being and we are merely curious. But do try to stay still."

Everypony did not like what Ropeknot just said. Next thing they heard was a yelp from Blubayou as Coocoodrill's parents started examining the amphibipony.

"What kind of gills he got honey?"

Scones had to prevent Applejack from barging into the examination when they heard Blu take a deep breath.

"The freshwater type. Can't adapt to the sea at all. His body mucus would also quickly dry up by the looks of it. Anything about that long tail of his?"

"Adapted for swimming not unlike salamanders. The hairs on the tail are real hard and they form a paddle shape to move side to side. He also has these itty-bitty fins behind his hooves. Probably to help with maneuvering and such along with this fish-like sail for what would be a mane. All in all, this stallion is made for stream lined rivers and lakes. Now what about his legs?"

"What miss Tansand? WHAH! Hey that kinda tickles!"

Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes. "What is this? A fully autopsy?"

Paramail winced in disgust. "Guess so."

"His hind legs are absolutely made to hopping with relative ease Tansand! These legs would make even the giant frogs of the Tikifriki Islands look like slowpokes! I'm betting at least forty foot long jumps for this one. Now about that throat sack of his."

"Is this a normal unicorn greeting?" The ponies then heard a silent croak, followed by an extremely loud croak.

"Throat sack can inflate up to three feet in size. Able to make croaking noises ranging from 15 to 45 decibels. But now, let's see his tongue."

"Wha?" All the ponies heard the disgusting sound of Blu's tongue coming out of his mouth. Rarity now had to hold down Applejack with her magic.

"Roughtly around ten feet long. Adhesiveness I'd say about a seven out of ten. But now Tansand…"

"Are you serious honey?"

"Yes! No we check if he can lay eggs!"

"I don ray ehggs!"

"I sorry what's that?"

Everypony heard Blu's tongue snap back into his mouth as he began to protest. "I said I don't…YIPES!"

Both Paramail and Rarity got woozy and fainted. As everypony else grimaced in disgust, Twilight helped Scones keep a hold of Applejack.

"Yup…doesn't lay eggs." They heard Ropeknot conclude. "So that means…"

"Ropey. Don't even start.""

"…There are females of his kind! Perhaps he is an endangered species of sort! We must see his children!

Applejack finally called from outside, tired of their experiments. "He's just a magically adjusted Earth Pony! Now will you please bring him back outside?"

Ropeknot let out a sigh. "Fine. And I was going to name the species Equus Amphibios."

Rainbow Dash let out a sly grin. "I totally called it."

The ponies then heard hoofsteps going down stairs. When Everypony turned towards the door, they saw Tansand and Ropeknot coming out of the door carrying a shaking Blubayou in tow. He was muttering over and over to himself "I didn't know I had that".

"Alright! That'll do it!" Tansand put down her traumatized test subject right next to Applejack. "So we now know that he's not a sea pony."

Applejack just groaned a facehoofed. "But those don't even..."

"But since you mentioned something about him being a former earth pony." Ropeknot interrupted her. "What shall we call him now?"

As Blubayou recovered from his examination, he found that he had all eyes looking at him for a name. He began to frantically look around the area to help think of a reasonable enough name. He knew he was alone on this idea and had to for once think of something by himself. Screameater used to dictate every moment of his life and since he left his old master, he's always been reliant on Applejack for support. Now it was his time to be independent and make a good name for himself.

Alrighty Blu! Think, think, THINK! You're a might smart guy and you know it! Just think of a nice little name for what ya are! Alright a window made of glass! Now what can I do with that? Glassi, Glastig? No, but I think I'm onto somethin'!

Okay now through that glass window is a fireplace. I see ash in that fireplace. Now what can I do with that at glass? Glash? No too simple. Need something with a bit more "oomph".

Ah! Lookey here! A tin can on top of the fireplace! "Now let's see what I can do with all three words. Ashtinglass, Tinglash, Glashtin? Wait Glashtin! Hmmm? Complex enough yet can be memorized. And now let's add a "Y" instead of an "I" to make it sound more exotic and the WHALAH!

"GLASHTYN!"

All the ponies (and Mara) stared at the amphibious being perplexed by the random name. Both Rarity and Paramail got up and looked at Blu without a clue about what was going on.

"What about a trash bin?" Rarity asked having no idea what was going on. "What on earth are we talking about?"

"Glashtin?" Applejack repeated. "Where'd ya find a name like that?"

Blu just shrugged. "Around. But it's with a "Y" not an "I". G-L-A-S-H-T-Y-N. Glashtyn."

Pinkie Pie started bouncing around the Glashtyn. "I like that name! That's my favorite name! It sounds like a combination of glass, ash, and tin! I wonder how you came up with that name! You must be like super smart and…"

They group heard a stomping and saw that it was Scones. He was holding up and pointing at its notebook while looking quite frustrated.

You guys realize that we're wasting time with this stuff right? Who knows what Screameater is doing right now? Seriously, we gotta get a move on! Does it always take this long to begin an adventure? C'MON! This is ridiculous!

Tansand nodded in agreement and gave her orders. "Pixie's right! Let's load the S.S Beluga and get three unicorns, two pegasi, two earth ponies, a pixie, and a…glashtyn onto it!" She pointed towards the great ship.

As the ponies headed towards the S.S Beluga, Applejack questioned Paramail.

"I've been seeing all these pony parents lately. So I've been wonderin' somethin'."

Paramail answered while still flying straight. "Yeah?"

"What are your parents like?"

The stallion just let out an irritated groan and turned his head towards her. "Only ask about work and grandkids. Through letters no less."

Applejack wasn't really prepared to hear such a thing. So she just said the first thing on her mind.

"That's rough sugarcube."
---------------------------------------------------------
Screameater looked into a scrying gate as he slouched on his throne eating an apple. He was watching the Elements of Harmony get ready to leave to try to defeat him. He merely chuckled as the group got ready for the voyage and saying goodbye to their family members. He then started bawling with laughter as he saw that one of the ponies just got a letter asking how his job was and asking for grandkids.

"Such a hopeless cause." He mocked as he finished the rest of his granny smith apple, spitting out all of the seeds.

He then began to think to himself. Hm? If these pathetic ponies are out to end my reign of terror, I might just have to hurry up with my plan. So first things first, find a queen. Easy enough.

"Trixie!" Screameater called in a sing-song voice from his throne. "I've got something to tell you!"

Not long after, the blue unicorn entered through the obsidian doors, bowed down, and answered her master. "What do you need sir?"

Screameater took a breath as he used a tendril to lift the mare's up. He then looked directly into her eyes, speaking to her in an uncharacteristically soothing voice. Even then, Trixie could feel a hint of nervousness in his voice.

"Well Trix." The dark prince gulped. "I know we've only known each other for like less than a week. But I'm pretty sure that's like…a good chunk of mortal life. And we've…" Trixie could see him blushing, making her feel very uncomfortable. "…kinda made this bond and all and…" He slapped himself across the face and spat it out. "…WELL MAYBE YOU CAN BE MY DARK QUEEN AND SUCH! TOEGTHER WE COULD RULE ALL OF EQUESTRIA WITH AN IRON HOOF!" Screameater brought his forehooves up into the air as he began to laugh maniacally. "WE SHALL BE LIVING THE DREAM WHILE THE REST OF THIS PATHETIC PLANET WILL BE LIVING THE NIGHTMARE!" His laughing then went down several octaves as it began to sound much less natural.

Trixie just gasped in horror. She imagined their future child together. That child would be the most twisted thing in existence. It would have her amazing charisma while retaining the utterly corrupted mind of the father. It would pretend to act sweet, yet would only do it for personal gain. The foal probably would also have bright orange eyes or other traits that would send it straight into uncanny valley. And not the same named valley on this island. She imagined that everypony would be so disturbed by how it looks so much like a pony, but wasn't. She had to speak up about this.

"Wait one second sir."

Screameater settled down, relieved about spitting it out. "Yes Ms. Magnificent? And call me Screameater dear," He brushed her silvery hair with a tentacle, causing her spine to shiver. "You'll make a beautiful alicorn."

Trixie couldn't believe what he just said. "What about Trixie being an alicorn sir?"

Screameater merely chuckled and summoned an illusion on Trixie. But this Trixie was the size of the Moon Princess, had large wings, and had flowing silver hair that reached the ground. She wore silver slippers and a shining platinum crown. The magnificent radiance around the illusion made Trixie fall back in shock; this was her as an immortal ruler of Equestria.

She couldn't even imagine herself with all that power. Her abilities would have no equal. There would be no argument that she would be both great and powerful. But the cost of it would be so much. Equestria would never be the same after this monster's ascension. And she knew that if she became queen, all the ponies wouldn't cheer and love her, they would be afraid of her. They would run at the sight of her, insult her behind her back, and possibly make a vain attempt at a rebellion. She didn't want to be held responsible for ruining millions upon millions of lives.

She then began to think why she even chose to work for this insane monster. She began to show spite for that pitiful amphibious pony that brought her into this situation. Without him, she would not even be in this situation. But for some reason, she couldn't stay mad at him. What if that was all he knew? What if his life revolved around being lied to by Screameater? And she abandoned him over bonding with a single bunny. Now who knows how those ponies are treating him right now. For all she knew, they locked him up in a zoo and thrown peanuts at.

Then Prince Blueblood came to mind. She realized what the implications were for kidnapping royalty and was afraid of the punishment. Blueblood may have been mean (perhaps even possibly sociopathic), but that was no excuse to have him absorbed to live for all eternity. And when she thought about, there were plenty of nobles just like him; he was merely just the most snarky and bitter. She then began to wonder what could possibly make a member of Equestrian royalty so bitter. And if he was truly Screameater's son, how did he deal with over a thousand years without a father? Maybe he was at one point a decent pony. It then struck her. If Cadence was the age of an average pony, that meant that Blueblood could've possibly been a descendent of the prince. She had a feeling that he had a lot of bad things happen to him in his life and tons of pent-up anger inside him. She had pent-up anger many times before due to hecklers and such. But she couldn't imagine hundreds of year's worth of it.

Her mind then focused on the young dragon she took. She remembered replacing it with a cold, vile Mara as she took him to Screameater. She remembered the look of horror in his face as she watched him get devoured by the prince. She recognized him from that time in Ponyville when she tried to perform. He was the least condescending of the hecklers from what she remembered. Surely he didn't deserve such a fate.

The pegasus filly then squirmed into her mind. She was just so innocent, and they just took her from her friends. If it wasn't for the Mara that replaced her, her parents would be worried sick. And thinking of that, she also helped create that abominable golem Anvillain. It was just fine before without a personality to speak of. But now, it acted just like a pony, but it still had no empathy. It was still a monster through and through; it just got a conscience that it refuses to listen to.

On the thought of Anvillain, she began to think about how they both ambushed that pegasi couple on top of Blueblood manor. Those two ponies looked so happy and both of them ended it just like that. Sure she spared the stallion, but Anvillain's humiliation of him was too hard to watch. The yellow mare's tears were also hard to look at, but she had all the right to cry. Trixie began to imagine what those two might have done with their relationship that she helped ruin.

But her biggest failure was creating the thirteenth spawn. When it was a twisted mockery of Blueblood, it acted really nice to everypony around him. But Trixie knew better than to buy it. She knew inside that the Mara who now insists on being called Crimson Prince, was just as vile as Screameater; possibly even more so. But after thinking about her actions, Trixie discovered that she was not much different.

Tears began to seep from her eyes as she dropped to the floor, guilt-wracked about her crimes to all ponykind. She knew that her crimes were unforgiveable. As she laid on the ground, she could only feebly mutter one sentence.

"Trixie's a monster."

Screameater looked at her confused and cleaned an ear, still in a good mood. "What was that dear?"

Trixie looked up towards the alicorn as she continued to weep. "Trixie's a monster."

Screameater stared at her for a moment and then laughed merrily. "OF COURSE YOU ARE DEAREST! IT'S WHAT IT TAKES TO MAKE IT BIG IN THE WORLD OF VILLAINY AND SUCH!" He then used his magic to summon a bunch of wedding gowns of different colors. "Now let's see. Red's like a fiery chili pepper but not classy enough. White's too boring. Grey is too grim and nopony likes a grim wedding. Blue's just…blue."

He then found the perfect bridal gown and displayed it to his future queen. "Scarlet would look perfect on you!" He picked up the glum mare and looked at her face to face. "I can see your tears of joy over this! Think about all of the little ponies screaming out 'Ah! It's the Scarlet Queen of Equestria! Bring her our offerings and beg for her mercy!' Quite a ring don't ya think?"

He then stared at her as tears still continued to fall to the ground. He analyzed how she must have been feeling right now at the moment. He could see her despair and he could smell her fear.

He wrapped his tendrils around her in an embrace as he spoke softly to her. "Now, now. No need to fret dear. Everything shall be alright with you. This fear is normal." His horn then glowed pitch black as he used his evil magic.

Trixie tried to back away, but she gradually found herself in less and less control of her actions. Unspeakable horrors invaded her mind, bringing a sense of dread for the poor unicorn. After much struggling, she fell to the ground.

Screameater just shook his head. "I cannot have a fearful queen I'm afraid. My ideal mare needs to be able to see the horrors I shall bring unto this world without even wincing." He lifted Trixie from the ground, who now had blank eyes and a cold, emotionless face. "But whatever. I'll find a changeling or something suitable as a queen."

"Hey!"

Screameater quickly looked up to see a shocked Anvillain and Crimson Prince just outside the obsidian door. Both minions were just staring at the sight in confusion. Before Screameater could awkwardly explain explain, Crimson spoke up with a smile.

"What awesome spell did you use on her?"

Screameater writhed his tentacles with pride as he answered the two minions. "Well you see. The spell I cast allows me to control the body of my victim to do my very whim." He then made a sinister, sharp toothed grin. "But her mind is trapped in nightmare after nightmare. She is screaming at the top of her lungs but nopony can help her." He licked his lips. "I can just imagine her anguish."

Crimson Prince cruelly cackled with delight. "I totally dig that idea Daddy-O! I can imagine her shrieks right now, begging the visions to stop! Haven't imagined such a beautiful display of pain, suffering, anguish, loathing, depravity…"

"Whoah! Whoah! Whoah!" Anvillain immediately stopped the crazed Thirteenth Spawn in disgust. "You think such visions are beautiful?"

Screameater began to gag on such a concept. "You're one weird sicko!"

Crimson showed no offense and merely shrugged it off. "Meh. To each their own boss."

Trixie's controlled body began to walk around the area, moaning like a zombie and drooling. Screameater enjoyed the effects of the spell and gave her his first order.

"Trixie. I would like you to play bowling with Anvillain and Crimson Prince in front of our prisoner's cell."

Screameater summoned ten rabbit taxidermies and a bowling ball and passed it to the blue mare. She lifted it with her magic and proceeded to go to the exit. Both Anvillain and Crimson loudly expressed their excitement to play bowling with stuffed bunnies as they followed suit, leaving Screameater alone on his throne once again.

"Now to hurry my sister up." Screameater put his hands together as the pitch black aura surrounded his horn again. "A scorpio would do the trick."
