//------------------------------// // Strange Visitors - Part 2 // Story: My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Invasion of Evil // by Dinodisneylover1 //------------------------------// Sunset and Twilight were finished with the decorations. They left the gym room to join their friends. "Whoa, I'm glad that's finished. Principal Celestia is gonna be so proud of us." Sunset said. "Me too. Wait till the rest see it. Pinkie and Rainbow also placed a few surprises inside and outside the school." Sci-Twi said. Sunset chuckled. "I can't wait to see how that's going to turn out." Suddenly, they saw Rarity and Pinkie. But they weren't alone. There was an old lady dressed in black sitting on a chair. Sunset and Sci-Twi went towards them. "Hey, girls." Sunset said. "Sunset. Twilight. Darlings. Is the gym room ready?" Rarity asked. "It's complete. Now we just need to know if the rest is ready." Sci-Twi said. Sunset paid her attention to the old lady. "Who's this? Family of anyone?" Sunset asked. "Oh heavens, no. Fluttershy brought the poor woman inside. She had a little problem with her heart and asked for a drink of water. Fluttershy and Rainbow went to get some." Rarity explained. "I didn't know it would take so long." Pinkie added. "Oh my goodness." Sci-Twi said and went to the old lady. "Don't worry, miss. We'll help you." "Thank you, my pet. That girl with the pink hair was so kind to me. She reminded me of my stepdaughter." The old lady said and suddenly, unaware to them, she began to frown about the memory of her stepdaughter. All of a sudden, Fluttershy and Rainbow returned with two glasses of water. "What took you so long?" Pinkie asked. "We had a bit of trouble with getting past the students." Rainbow said. "Here you go, madam." Fluttershy said before she gave her the glass of water. The old lady drank the entire glass empty. She sighed with joy when she drank it. "Thank you so much. Sometimes my heart doesn't know what it's doing." The old lady said. "You're in big luck. I was afraid it could have been too late." Fluttershy said. "And because you've been so good to poor old granny. I want to thank you with a gift. I don't have much, I'm afraid. The only thing that I can give you is this apple." The old lady showed the girls a bright red apple. The one she was going to give to Fluttershy. Applejack would have liked it. "Oooooh, tasty." Pinkie said while staring at the apple. "Thank you, madam." Fluttershy said. "And this no ordinary apple. It's a magic wishing apple." The old lady said. "A wishing apple?" The girls asked. "Yes. One bite, and all your dreams come true." The old lady. "Oh wow! Wait till Applejack hears about this. Where is she anyway?" Rainbow asked. "She's in the kitchen helping Granny Smith with the food." Sunset said. "I'll tell her immediately. Don't you all take a bite without me." Rainbow said before she went to the kitchen. "I'm not so sure. An apple is delicious, but a magic wishing apple?" Sunset said. "Are you saying you don't believe it? We can turn into magical anthro ponies, defeated evil creatures from your world, and you don't believe it?" Pinkie asked. "I'm not saying I don't believe it, but a magic wishing apple in a world that doesn't have magic. That sounds a bit strange, don't you think." Sunset said. "Is it really a magic wishing apple?" Fluttershy asked. "Yes, girly. Maybe you can share it with your friends. Do you all have big wishes?" The old lady "Oh, I don't know which wish I want." Rarity said. "I got lots of them. How about putting a smile on everybody's face? Or world peace? Or one big party? Or wait, wait I..." Pinkie said and Sunset covered her mouth. "I don't know what I want. I don't have any big wishes." Sci-Twi said. "You don't?" The old lady asked. "Maybe one or...No. I have nothing." Sci-Twi said. "Everybody has a wish, dearie. There must be something your little heart desires. Perhaps there's someone you love." The old lady said. Sunset also thought about that. "Well...there is someone." Sci-Twi said. "I thought so. I thought so." The old lady chuckled. "Ol' granny knows a young girl's heart." "But if it's a magic wishing apple, why don't you take it?" Sunset asked. "Ah, it's a long story. My granddaughter found one of these apples in a far away land." The old lady lied. If Applejack was with them, she would know it and say it. "One day, she became very sick and died the next day." "Oh my. I'm so sorry." Fluttershy said while tears ran from her cheek. "She only had one wish. That I gave this apple to someone who's in more need of it than she or I are." the old lady said. Pinkie was on the verge of crying while hearing that story. Rarity too. "Your granddaughter must have been the most generous person in the world." Rarity said. "I would love to take the apple in her honor." Fluttershy said before she took the apple. "Thank you, dearies." The old lady said and smiled a bit evilly. Without anyone knowing, two moray eels were watching the girls and the old lady. Each of their eyes began to glow yellow. (Not exactly the right color, don't you think?) (Stop music at 0:18) Meanwhile, Rainbow arrived at the kitchen. "Applejack, you won't believe what I..." Rainbow said. But she couldn't finish her sentence, because she saw something a little disturbing to her. Granny Smith was busy covering a muscled student with grease. And from the looks of it, she enjoyed it. "Um, what's going on here?" Rainbow asked with a raised eyebrow. "Allow me to explain the situation. Principal Celestia asked me to check the ventilation system and such things, because she heard something. Could be rats or something? A funny thing is she heard it talk." the student said. "Then what's the grease for?" Rainbow asked. "Hello. You know how tight ventilation systems can be?" the student said. "I'll make sure he can get through it perfectly." Granny Smith said. Rainbow still raised her eyebrow before she shook it off. "Anyway, where is Applejack?" Rainbow asked. "She should be in the basement, but she hasn't come back yet. She never stays away that long. Strange." Granny Smith said. "I'm going to check it out." Rainbow said. Rainbow goes towards the storeroom. (Music at 2:15) Applejack saw visions of herself when she was very little. A cute little girl with two ponytails. She lived with her grandmother, her brother and her parents in a farm. Her little sister was just born. "Awww. What a cute little man cub. Ssssso tiny. Sssssso innocent." Kaa said. "She sure is." Applejack said. "You and your family seemed to live a happy life. But what is this?" Kaa asked. The next vision is one where her parents were attacked by wolves in a forest. The parents tried to protect their children. The mother told them to run to Granny Smith. All of a sudden, the mother became badly wounded by one of the wolves. The children tried to help her, but she still told them to run. With pain in their heart, they began to run. Applejack held her baby sister in her arms. Her brother followed her. The howls of the wolves could be heard in the distance. After minutes of running, they've finally reached their grandmother at the farm. They told her everything and Granny went as fast as she could to find the parents and see if the wolves have disappeared. But when she arrived...it was too late. Both of Applejack's parents laid motionless on the ground. Morning, a few humans related to Granny Smith went into the forest where the parents were attacked to retrieve their bodies. It was a big shock for the entire family, especially for Applejack and Big Mac. And poor little Applebloom, she never knew them. Applejack cried while holding her baby sister. Alas, the parents were buried at their home. It broke the entire families hard. Applejack looked at the Stetson hat. It was a present given to her by her father. Big Mac and Granny Smith tried to comfort her and began to say a few things. Suddenly, Applejack's face was full of determination and placed her father's hat on her head. (Music at 4:16) The visions disappeared and we see Applejack with colorful spirals in her eyes. But that's not all, her body was wrapped in coils. Kaa had her in his grasp. "Oh, you poor ssssssweet thing." Kaa said and leaned his head closer to her while doing his hypnosis. "You want to get rid of all that pain?" Applejack nodded her head. Kaa wrapped his coils as tight as possible around her. "You can be with me if you want." Kaa said. "I'll keep you close. Make you forget about everything. Let it all go. Trussssssssst...in me." The snake began to open its jaws very wide. Meanwhile, Rainbow Dash came in. "Hey, Applejack. What's taking you so long? Granny said that..." Rainbow couldn't finish her sentence because her eyes went wide with what she saw. The snake was about to eat one of her best friends while she was completely under his control. Rainbow couldn't let that happen. "Hey! Release my friend, you scaly worm!" Rainbow said. She quickly ran towards Applejack and the snake and gave the snake a powerful uppercut against its jaw. The impact made him hit his head against the ceiling and making him lose control of both his hypnosis and his coils. Applejack fell on the ground while the coils fell too. The colorful spirals disappeared. The snake shook his head. "Ohhhh, my sinussss." The snake gave Rainbow a glare and went towards her. Rainbow also gave a glare. But then her eyes went wide, because she was surprised that the snake could talk. When Kaa came towards her, Rainbow went backwards and suddenly hit her back against a wall. "You have just made a sssserious mistake, my friend. A very sssstupid..." Rainbow chuckled nervously. "Haha. I'm sorry. I really am." "Mistake." The snake finished his sentence. Applejack came back to her senses, she looked at Rainbow and Kaa and remembered everything. She slowly climbs out of Kaa's relaxed coils. The snake began his hypnosis again, this time on Rainbow Dash. Rainbow tried to close her eyes, but accidently opened one eye and gained one eye with colorful spirals. "Look me in the eye when I'm speaking to you." Kaa said. "P-please, don't." Rainbow said. "BOTH eyes if you please." The snake said. Kaa forced her to open both her eyes and now Rainbow gained both eyes with colorful spirals. And she suddenly began to make a goofy smile on her face. Applejack saw this and rolled up her sleeves. "You have just sssssealed your doom." The snake said. Kaa began to concentrate on the athletic girl, but he suddenly got grabbed forcefully by the tail. He looked over his shoulder, if he had any, and saw Applejack pulling him towards her. The snake was surprised that a girl could be that strong. He tried to break free from her grasp. Applejack tried to get a good grip on the snake and suddenly her pony powers appeared because she wears one of the medals that she and her friends found at Camp Everfree. Her super strength allowed her to slam the head of the snake against the walls, the ground, and the ceiling to make him unconscious. Applejack also put a knot in his tail. But Kaa isn't a quiter, he prepared his head and tried to bite Applejack. But then the cowgirl grabbed him by the neck and pulled her close to her face. She had to be careful that he doesn't use his hypnosis again. "W-w-what are you?" The snake asked. "You tricked me." Applejack said with a glare. "Oh no no no no no." Kaa said. "Listen here. If you ever do that again, I'll be on you like ugly on an ape. You got that?" Applejack said. The snake nodded quickly. Then Applejack threw him at the opening, making him slam against the door. "That dirty..." Applejack couldn't finish her sentence when she saw Rainbow who was still hypnotised. "Rainbow. Rainbow. Hey, Rainbow. Wake up." Applejack gave Rainbow a few slaps against Rainbow's cheek and suddenly Rainbow opened her eyes. The coloring spirals were gone. "Ah, duh, wha?" Rainbow said confused. But the snake wasn't gone yet. "Just you wait 'til I get you and all of your friends in my coils." Kaa said. But he suddenly got pulled again. It wasn't Applejack or Rainbow Dash this time. The knot in his tail made him stuck. "Hahaha! Hey look, AJ. It's got a knot in his tail." Rainbow said while laughing. "Hey look, it's got a knot in his tail." Kaa mimicked sarcastically. He tried to pull himself free. But when he got free, his coils went against his face like an accordeon. Unamused, the snake slithered away. "I'll make you pay. Just you wait." Kaa said. He came out of the storeroom and slithered away very fast. Some students came by and saw him. "A snake!" Micro Chips panicked. A few more students saw the snake too. Kaa slithered very quickly away until he was gone. In the storeroom, Applejack and Rainbow couldn't help but laugh at the snake's sillyness. After a few minutes, they stopped. "Rainbow, are you alright?" Applejack asked. "I'm okay. How about you?" Rainbow asked. "I'm not sure. I'm pretty upset of what that Kaa did. He showed me images of my parents. Before and when they..." Applejack couldn't finish that sentence. "It's okay, Applejack. It's best not to think about it. You're in luck that I found you or you would have been snake food." Rainbow said. "Thanks, RD." Applejack said before she hugged her. After they hugged, Rainbow remembered something. "Oh yeah. You won't believe this. There's an old lady with a magical apple that grants wishes, and she wants to give it to us and our friends." Rainbow said with excitement. "An apple that grants wishes. Did she escape from an asylum or something?" Applejack said not believing the story. "Oh come on. You sound just like Sunset. If you don't believe what I'm saying, how do you explain how we got our pony powers?" Rainbow asked. "Because Sunset brought magic from Equestria and it effected us. Our world doesn't have any magic." Applejack said. "But what if it does?" Rainbow said. "Come on, AJ. Just come along. Please." Rainbow said with big puppy dog eyes. "Oh no, Rainbow. Them puppy eyes ain't gonna effect me." Aplejack said. "Pretty please." Rainbow said with the same adorable eyes. Applejack tried to resist it, but after a few minutes she gives up with a defeated sigh. "Fine. I'll come with you." Applejack said. "Yes!" Rainbow said. "After we bring the things Granny needs for the party." Applejack said. "Okay." Rainbow said. They both grabbed the things Granny asked for to bring them to the kitchen. Meanwhile, the old lady and the girls where still talking. "Well, aren't you going to take a bite?" The old lady asked. Fluttershy was about to say something, but got interrupted by someone who spoke. It looked like a man who was dressed in brown clothing. He had a beard, a pair of glasses, a long nose, and a cap. And he seems to carry brushes with him. Some students grabbed one and some not. "Does anyone want a brush? It's free." The man said. Then the man saw the old lady like he recognised her or something. He went towards her. "Ah, there you are. I've been looking all over for you." The man said. "Um...miss? Do you know this man?" Fluttershy asked. "Um." The old lady thought. The man took his glasses off and gave her a wink. The old lady recognised those eyes. "He's a...a good friend." the old lady said. "Who are you?" Sunset asked. "I'm the Fuller Brush Man. I work me way through college." The man said with a smile. "A brush seller?" Sunset asked. The man nodded. But suddenly, the human Twilight saw two things that she found very strange about this man. She saw the man's feet that looked a lot more like the paws of an animal. She also noticed something furry at the man's butt. It looked like a tail. "Um, sir?" Sci-Twi asked. "Yes, little one." the man said. "Is it me or do you have paws and a tail?" Sci-Twi asked in suspision. With that said, the other girls looked at the man and saw exactly what Sci-Twi meant. The man and the old lady became a bit nervous when she said that. "Uh, it's a common illness...in my family. Heheh." The man chuckled nervously. "Illness?" Rarity asked. "I've heard of hypertrichosis, but I never heard of an illness that gains you paws and a tail." Sci-Twi said. "Hyperwhat?" Pinkie asked. "The disease that causes your entire body to gain hair." Sci-Twi explained. "Oh dear. I'm glad I don't have that." Rarity said shuddering at the image. "Then I'm sure you also wouldn't like hirsutism." Pinkie said to Rarity. "And what's that?" Rarity asked. Pinkie came closer to her and whispered something in her ear. Rarity's eyes went wide. "Good heavens!" Rarity shouted. "So how do you know each other? If you don't mind me asking, that is." Fluttershy asked. "We knew each other from school. I was bullied by awful children for my disease, but this lady over here and the man who became her husband stood up for me. Since that day we became the best of friends." The fuller brush man said. He looked at you. Grinning while he does. "How am I doing?" He said quietly breaking the fourth wall before turning his attention back to the girls. Suddenly, without anyone noticing, a beautiful brunette in a blue dress came through the school doors. All the students looked at her, but it was all the male students who couldn't help but stare at her. The girl walked through the crowd and some of the boys began to whistle at her. In annoyance, she rolled her eyes. She saw the old lady and the fuller brush man talking with five girls and went straight towards them. "There you are. I've been looking everywhere for you." The brunette said. The girls saw the brunette coming straight to them. "What are you doing here?" The fuller brush man asked. "Keeping an eye on you two." The brunette answered. "Hello. Who might you be?" Sunset asked. "This is Vanessa. She's my daughter." The old lady said. "What?" The girl named Vanessa whispered to her. The old lady gave her a nudge and Vanessa caught the message. "Oh yes. Pleased to meet you." Vanessa extended her hand to them. Pinkie grabbed it quickly and shook it really fast. Vanessa's hand ached from the pressure. She gave Pinkie a glare. "I'm really sorry for what happened to your daughter, miss Vanessa." Sci-Twi said. Vanessa gave the old lady an eye brow. The old lady winked at her. Then Vanessa made a fake sad face. "Oh yes. I'll never forget that day." Vanessa cried in a fake way. To play along, the old lady gave her a hug. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you cry." Sci-Twi said in regret. "It's alright. You only tried to comfort me." Vanessa said while wiping her tears away. "Your mother was kind to give us your daughter's wishing apple. Fluttershy was the one who helped her." Rarity said before showing Fluttershy to them. Vanessa's eyes went wide. "Could you excuse us for just a minute." Vanessa said. The girls nodded before Vanessa began to whisper to the old lady in private. "What are you doing? Maleficent said that we only need to spy on those girls." Vanessa said. "Well, I hope she won't mind if a few of them are gone. Then we have a few less of those girls to worry about, don't you think?" The old lady whispered. Vanessa thought about it. "Fine. But if Maleficent doesn't agree on this, it ain't my fault." She said and paid her attention back to the girls. "Yes. The only one she had left. I hope you treat it right." "Don't worry, we will treat it with lots of respect." Sunset said. The old lady couldn't happen but smile. Imagining each of the girls taking a bite of that apple not knowing what's gonna come next. Sunset brought her attention to Vanessa, and saw something unusual on her. She wore a black cord with a gold nautilus shell around her neck. It seemed to be glowing. Sunset reached for the shell. "That's a pretty necklace you got there. Where did you get..." Sunset said. But before she can touch it, Vanessa quickly grabbed her arm in a vice-like grip, because she saw that Sunset was trying to touch the shell. But it didn't take long before Vanessa realized what she was doing. She released Sunset's arm, and chuckled sheepishly. Sunset checked her arm to see if it was broken or not. The other girls also gave Vanessa an uncomfortable and suspicious look. The old lady and the fuller brush man became nervous. "Sorry, this necklace means an awful lot to me. It's a gift that my husband gave to me. It would be awful if anything happens to it." Vanessa said. "Well, I better move on. I still got lots of brushes to sell." The fuller brush man said. "We better go home too, my dear." The old lady said to Vanessa before turning her attention back to Fluttershy. "Thank you once again, dearie. I owe you my life." "No problem, ma'am." Fluttershy said kindly. With that, the fuller brush man walked further while Vanessa and the old lady left the girls alone. Suddenly, something fell out of the robes of the old lady. Sunset saw it, and picked it up. It was a mirror. "I'll be right back." Sunset said to her friends before she went after the old lady. When she went closer to the old lady, Sunset reached her arm to the old lady's shoulder. "Excuse me, madam. But I..." Sunset said. But once her hand touched the old lady, her eyes went white. (I...I don't even know what I'm going to say about the color this time.) She began to see visions. Visions that she's not familiar with. She saw a beautiful woman with an uncomfortable face dressed in what seems like royal clothes and a crown on her head. The woman walked towards a large mirror in a special room. She spread her arms wide open, and spoke. "Slave in the magic mirror. Come from the farthest space." She said with archaic words. She spread out her arms, and a wind howled behind her while she spoke further. "Through wind and darkness I summon thee. Speak!" A thunderbolt could be seen in the mirror and flames appeared. "Let me see thy face." She finished. The flames disappeared, and a face appeared in the mirror. "What wouldst thou know, my queen?" The face asked also with archaic words. "Magic mirror on the wall, who is the fairest one of all?" The woman said. "Famed is thy beauty, majesty. But hold, a lovely maid I see. Rags cannot hide her gentle grace. Alas, she's more fair than thee." The face answered. "Alas for her." The woman said with a voice as cold as ice while folding her arms. "Reveal her name!" "Lips, red as the rose. Hair, black as ebony. Skin, white as snow." The face answered. The woman gasped in shock, knowing of who the face spoke about. Trying to contain her anger, she said her name. "Snow White." Suddenly, another vision was shown. It showed the same woman known as the queen, but she was sitting on a throne. "Take her far into the forest. Find some secluded glade where she can pick wildflowers." She said ending her sentence with a smile. The person she spoke to was a man. He seemed to be armed with a knife. "Yes, Your Majesty." He said. "And there, my faithful huntsman, you will KILL her!" the queen said. "But, Your Majesty, the little princess!" The huntsman yelled concerned. The queen raised from her throne and rised her hand in the air. "SILENCE! You know the penalty if you fail." She said while pointing her finger to the floor. With no strength to say anything else, the huntsman obeyed while his head hung low. "Yes. Your Majesty." The queen gave him a serious but stern look. "But to make doubly sure...you do not fail." The queen grabbed a little casket, and showed it to the huntsman. There was an emblem of a heart stabbed by a knife. "Bring back her heart...in this." Another vision was shown with the face of the mirror again. (Music at 0:50) "Snow White still lives, the fairest in the land. It's the heart of a pig you hold in your hand." The face said. The queen became furious while looking at the heart. "The heart of a pig! And I've been tricked." She closed the casket and walked away. She walked down some stairs into a dungeon-like area. She opened a door and entered some kind of laboratory with a cauldron in the middle of the room. "The heart of a pig. The blundering fool." Furious, she threw the casket away making a raven tremble. "I'll go myself to the dwarfs' cottage...in a disguise, so complete, no one will ever suspect." She walked towards a bookcase grabbing a book that reads 'Disguises'. She opened the book, and searched through the pages. "Now, a formula to transform my beauty into ugliness. Change my queenly raiment to a peddler's cloak." Finally, she found what she was looking for. A formula named 'Peddler's Disguise'. She read the ingredients while she prepared them. "Mummy Dust to make me old. To shroud my clothes, the Black of Night." She said while she grabbed a test tube with some kind of black liquid, and drops into a glass filled with a different kind of liquid. She released one drop into the glass and the entire liquid substance became as black as the darkness. "To age my voice, an Old Hag's Cackle." She went to a retort with a red liquid. She opened the valve of the bunsen burner, and the liquid began to bubble. But while it does, the liquid cackled like a witch. Several drops ended in the glass with the black liquid. It immediately turned red. She walked towards some kind of brown kettle. "To whiten my hair, a Scream of Fright." She opened the valve, and a white liquid came out of it, changing the red liquid into green. It also released a ghost-like cloud that lets out a terrifying scream. The queen went to a window with bars, and raised her glass. "A blast of wind! To fan my hate!" She summoned a large gust of wind that almost blew away the raven. "A thunderbolt!" A terrifying lightning bolt appeared outside, and the drink began to bubble and release a bit of smoke. "To mix it well." She finished. The queen looked at the glass with the green liquid. "Now. Begin thy magic spell." She drank the entire substance in one gulp, and suddenly she dropped the glass, making it break on the floor. She tried to gasp for air, and her entire world started to spin. Thunder and lightning stroke everywhere. Her black hair turned to white while she was trying to gasp for air. She looked at her hands that began to change. "Look. My hands." Her hands became terrifying and skeletally. The thunder showed the bones in her hand. Green liquid along with darkness and bubbles appeared, and suddenly disappeared. "My voice." the queen spoke with an uncomfortable voice. "My voice." Suddenly, the queen began to laugh maniacally. The whole ordeal makes Sunset shake in fear if we could see her face. She knew that voice. The old lady. "A perfect disguise." The queen turns around and puts her arm down revealing her ugly witch face. She laughed some more. This made the raven flap his wings in fear, and hide in the skull on which he stands. "And now,...a special sort of death for one so fair." She said to the raven while looking through her book. "What shall it be? AH! The poisoned apple. Sleeping Death." The queen chuckled. She began to read the inscription. "One taste of the poisoned apple...and the victim's eyes will close forever...in the sleeping DEATH." She looked at you with a creepy grin. Another vision was shown with a girl biting an apple. The queen diguised as a witch watched with a smile. (Music at 0:46) "Don't let the wish grow cold." The witch said. "Oh. I feel strange." The girl said. "Her breath will still." The witch said while stroking her own hands. "Her blood congeal." With a big smile, she watched the girl fall to the ground while dropping the apple. The witch cackled maniacally, and thunder and lightning could be heard. "Now I'll be fairest in the land!" She yelled and kept cackling. She left the cottage, but suddenly stopped laughing. She saw a herd of animals and seven little men coming straight towards her. She had to run for her life. The last vision showed the old lady climbing up a mountain while the seven little men chased her. When she reached the top, there was no way out. She gasped in fright. "I'm trapped. What will I do? The meddling little fools." She said. She quickly thought of something after she saw a large stick and looked at a big rock next to her. She smiled evilly. She grabbed the stick and placed it between the rock and a hard place. She pulled at it to loosen the rock. "I'll fix ya! I'll crush your bones!" She yelled. The little men stopped, and saw what she was doing. "Look out!" said one of them. The witch kept cackling, and laughed very loud thinking that she would be victorious, but a big thunderbolt slammed between the witch and the rock. It destroyed the cliff, and the witch fell to her doom, screaming while she did. Also the rock fell down. The visions disappeared and Sunset quickly took her hand away. She gasped violently. The witch turned around. Vanessa looked at Sunset too. They both noticed that she was staring wide eyed at the witch while gasping for air. "Is everything alright, dearie?" The witch asked. Sunset was like that for a few seconds before she brought herself together. "Um...you dropped this." She said showing the mirror. "Oh. Why, thank you, my pet." She took the mirror out of Sunset's hand. "To tell you the truth, I really wouldn't know what I would do without that." "Your...Your welcome. Always here to help. Heheh." She laughed nervously. "Come on, mother. We must go." Vanessa said. Sunset kept smiling until they left the building. Now she was really worried. What were those visions? Who is that woman? Did she kill someone? Whatever happened, she now knows that something's not right about that old lady. When she saw those visions, she saw the same red apple that the old lady gave to Fluttershy. Then it came to her. "Oh no. Fluttershy. The girls." Sunset says in panic. Quickly, she ran through the halls, hoping that she wouldn't be too late. The girls were talking amongst each other. "So, are we each gonna take a bit from the apple?" Sci-Twi asked. "I'd rather wait until Applejack and Rainbow Dash are here." Fluttershy said. "I still can't believe it. An apple that can make your deepest desires come true." Rarity said. "See what a little kindness can do?" Fluttershy said. "You said it. A little kindness goes a looooooong way." Pinkie said. Suddenly, Sunset arrived and saw the apple in Fluttershy's hand. She quickly ran to her, and slapped the apple out of her hand. "Don't eat that!" She yelled. The Apple fell on the ground. The girls gasped at what they just saw. "Sunset, darling. Whatever did you do that for?" Rarity asked. "I'm sorry. But there's something about that apple I don't trust." Sunset said. "What do you mean? What's wrong?" Sci-Twi said. Sunset picked the apple from the ground and looked at it. The apple is as red as blood and looks absolutely tasty, but after what she saw she began to have second thoughts. "Twilight? Is Spike still in your backpack?" Sunset asked. "Sure. Why?" "Can he come out?" "Spike? Can you come out?" The little dog came out of Sci-Twi's backpack and took a deep breath. "Finally, a bit of fresh air." It said. Sunset looked at the apple again and than at Spike. "Spike? Can you sniff this?" Sunset asked and showed Spike the apple. The little dog looked at it curiously. He sniffed the scent of the apple, and suddenly his eyes went wide and flinched back. "You're not gonna let me eat that, are you?" Spike asked. "What does it smell like?" Sunset asked. "I don't know. But there's something not right about that apple. It smells like death." Spike said. The girls gasped at this. Sunset was thinking. "It's poisoned." Sunset said. "What?" Sci-Twi said. "I think that old lady wanted to kill us." "Sunset, isn't that a bit rude to say about that poor old lady?" Fluttershy asked. "When she lost her mirror, I brought it back to her. But when I did, I touched her and saw her memories. Memories I've never seen before. There was some kind of queen who was planning to kill someone and then I saw her turn into that old lady. I saw her creating that same apple and poisoned someone with it." Fluttershy didn't know what to say about this. She felt really uncomfortable. "I'm not sure what all that was, but I'm telling you, there's something not right about that woman." Sunset said. The girls looked very worried and confused now. Suddenly, Rainbow and Applejack arrived. "Hiya, girls. Sorry I couldn't come earlier. You wouldn't believe what happened. So crazy. I was in the basement to get more stuff for the party and suddenly, a snake came out of nowhere. It was a big one...and it spoke." Applejack said. "A talking snake?" Fluttershy asked confused. "Yeah, it tried to eat Applejack with one bite."Rainbow said. The girls gasped at this. "But luckily, Rainbow arrived just in time. Or else, I was snake food to Kaa." Applejack said. "Kaa?" Rarity asked. "That's the snake's name. He hypnotised me and showed me memories of the time when my parents..." Applejack couldn't finish the sentence and looked down. Sci-Twi came next to her, and placed her hand on AJ's shoulder. "It's okay, Applejack. We're here for you." She said. Rainbow looked at the apple in Sunset's hand. "Look, AJ. There's the apple I told you about. But where's the old grandma?" She asked. "Nobody's going to eat that apple. It's dangerous." Sunset said. "What do you mean, sugarcube?" Applejack asked. "That old lady tried to kill us with an apple that's poisoned." Sunset said. "What?" Rainbow asked in disbelief. "Talk about a bad apple." Applejack said. "So, nobody gets their wish?" Rainbow asked. "It was a trick to make us eat it." Sunset said. "Sunset said she saw visions and memories of that woman. Something about a queen who wanted to kill someone." Rarity said. Rainbow and Applejack looked at each other in confusion. Suddenly, three small familiar girls ran through the halls, and saw Sunset and her friends. They ran towards them. "Sis. Sis. You won't believe this." Apple Bloom said. The three girls began to talk at the same time. "Easy. Easy. One at a time." Applejack said. With that the girls became quiet. "Now, what's the matter?" "We were playing ball, and suddenly we heard Sweetie Belle scream. We went after her and we fell in the same trap she fell into." Apple Bloom said. "A trap? You aren't hurt, are you?" Rarity looked at Sweetie Belle to see if she didn't had any bruises or scars. "A little, but I'm fine." Sweetie Belle said. "It was a poachers trap. The guy pulled us out of the trap. He had a pet goanna with him." Scootaloo said. "Poachers? Those are nasty people." Sci-Twi said. "But there can't be poachers here, there aren't any rare animals in this town." Fluttershy said. Fluttershy had a grudge against poachers, and the things they did to rare and wild animals. Now she's even more worried. What is a poacher doing here? And with a goanna. She read that goannas are very good hunters. "Have you seen anything strange today?" Sunset asked. "Uh? Only the poacher with the goanna." Sweetie Belle said. "And a lion." Scootaloo quickly said. Pinkie began to tremble at what Scootaloo said. "A l..., li..., li..., li..., li...A LION?!" Pinkie said with a frightened look. Applejack gave the three girls a stern look. "Ah think you three are lying." Applejack said while folding her arms. "No, it's true. I saw it outside in a bush on the schoolground." Scootaloo said while pointing at the entrance door. The girls looked at the entrance door. "A lion? Those animals aren't suppose to be here." Sci-Twi said. "How did a lion even get here?" Fluttershy asked. "Yeah, it doesn't even fit in your backpack. Unless, it's a cub." Pinkie said. "Maybe it escaped from a zoo." Rainbow said. "It could be." Applejack said. Sunset began to place her finger on her chin. 'What is going on here?' she probably thought. "I think we better work further for the party. We can discuss this later." Sunset said. "I think it's also for the best." Rarity said. "Yeah, we got a party to prepare." Pinkie said. With that said, the girls took different directions. Sunset was still thinking about that woman. "I've got a bad feeling about all this." She said to herself. Back at the fortress, the strange doctor who was ordered to improve the Dazzling's necklaces came back with the results. The pendants were wrapped in some kind of strange metal protection, but you can still see the pendants glowing as red as ever. "Here you go, misses. Just like Maleficent promised." The doctor said before he gave them the pendants. The Dazzlings each took their own pendant. "Thank you very much. Doctor XXX?" Adagio asked. The doctor nodded. Meanwhile, Sonata helped Kaa with the knot in his tail. "Thank you, little one." The snake said. "Your welcome." Sonata said. Suddenly, Vanessa and the old lady appeared. They both transformed back into Ursula and the Evil Queen. But also the Fuller Brush man returned, and took off his disguise to be revealed as the Big Bad Wolf. Maleficent appeared. "I told you to keep an eye on those girls, Queen. But instead, you wanted to kill them with the old apple trick." Maleficent said sternly. "I had to. I couldn't allow such beauty to be more supreme than mine." The queen said. "I assure you, Maleficent, that it won't happen again." Ursula said while giving the queen a glare. "I hope so. Because now, one of the girls discovered your trick and suspect something is afoot." Prince Hans said. "But how could she know? She doesn't know anything about me." The queen said. "We must be very careful this time. Tomorrow night is Halloween, and nothing must go wrong." Jafar said. All the villains come together, even the Dazzlings. "I got the perfect plan. But you all have to wait until midnight." Jafar laughed. "And once this world is in our grasp, you three can rule along with us, and have all the servants that your little hearts desire." Dr. Facilier said. "Do you hear that, girls?" Adagio asked her fellow sirens. "Tomorrow night is the big chance to finally get revenge on those rainbooms." "Oh, goodie." Sonata said. "Oh, yes. How exciting. Let's do it!" Ursula said with glee, and laughed very loudly. "Beluga sevruga, indeed. Ursula is gonna take matters into her OWN TENTACLES! Ha! How nice. Those girls will be mine. And then I'll make them writhe. I'll see them wriggle like a worm on a hook." She laughed. "To belong to me. To obey my every whim. Why not. Let's do it." The Dazzlings smiled at this. (Music from 1:51) "This is so exciting. I'm happy." Sonata said. "Tomorrow night. Let's do the job, and take their spirits." Cruella said. "Yes. Perfect." Scar said. "It'll be too late for the cowards." Frollo said. "It's time to say goodbye to those girls." Jafar said. "Starting tomorrow, this world will be ours." Maleficent said, and began to laugh. Soon all the villains, including the Dazzlings, joined the sadistic laughter.
