//------------------------------// // Chapter 8: Embrace the Magic // Story: The Legendary Knights of Friendship // by Shadow Master //------------------------------// Within Mr. T's office, Shadow Dragon and Timber Spruce were siting down on their seats while glaring at each other. Gloriosa Daisy was neared to her brother's seat. Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna stood before them, along with Twilight Sparkle, Sunset Shimmer, Flash Sentry, Nyx and Spike were behind of them. Mr. T looked angry and unpleasant as he took his seat while putting his paperboard down hard. It shocked them off. "Your behavior..." Mr. T said dryly and angrily yet calmly while glaring at both Timber Spruce and Shadow Dragon, "Is unacceptable! What were you two thinking?!" "You're blaming me?!" Timber Spruce asked in shock, "I was just guiding Twilight back to the camp. That's all!" Shadow Dragon scoffed in anger, "Yeah, right. Just try to take my girl away from me." "Will you get off my case, kid?!" "I still don't believe in you!" "You got some serious attitude, kid! Wanna go through that again?!" "Bring it on, jerk!" Shadow Dragon and Timber Spruce stood up and were about to attack at each other. Twilight Sparkle, Flash Sentry and Sunset Shimmer quickly stopped Shadow Dragon while Gloriosa Daisy halted her brother in attacking the students. Mr. T was annoyed and angered by the argument as he raised and slammed his hand on the table. "ENOUGH!" Mr. T exclaimed in anger, causing everyone to stop and looked at him. He stood up while glaring at them, "Your personal feelings for Twilight Sparkle will not go on. I'm sorry. I have no choice but to suspend you both! Shadow Dragon, you're suspended from joining the activity. Timber Spruce, you're relieved from your duty! And above all, you both are forbidden from seeing Twilight Sparkle again!" "WHAT?! That's not fair!" Shadow Dragon and Timber Spruce exclaimed in anger. Principal Celestia hissed, "Mr. T, I don't think that wasn't very necessary to do that." Vice Principal Luna nodded, "I'm sure Shadow Dragon didn't mean it." Mr. T gave his angry looks, "Unless they learn to control their emotions and relationship with her, I cannot allow you go roam freely and ruin everyone's activities. And that is final!" Both Shadow Dragon and Timber Spruce hissed and groaned in anger before sighed in defeated. They both nodded their heads in understanding and agreement. "Now leave," Mr. T snarled in anger, "And don't cause trouble again..." Shadow Dragon and Timber Spruce nodded firmly before glared at each other. They turned and exited the office while ignoring the looks of their friends and staffs. The others sighed in defeat while shaking their heads before left the office. With them left the office, Mr. T remained silent while sitting down on his seats. He smirked darkly while tapping his fingers on each other gently. "Without him, Gloriosa Daisy will be isolated and will lead me to my objective..." Twilight Sparkle and her friends were on their way back to the camp while chatting and discussing about dealing with Shadow Dragon. Twilight Sparkle felt uneasy, guilty and despair about hurting Shadow Dragon's feelings. Sunset Shimmer approached as she was about to comfort Twilight Sparkle, who quickly moved away and headed straight to the docks. Nyx and Spike were about to follow her but stopped by Flash Sentry, who shook his head. Sunset Shimmer sighed while watching her friend's walking away from it. Emerged from the tent, Applejack yawned loudly as she was heading straight to the dock for washing her face. Upon arriving at the dock, she found Twilight Sparkle siting on the dock's edge. The cowgirl was surprise and shock as she quickly approached her childhood friend. "Twilight?" Applejack called. Twilight Sparkle turned back and found the cowgirl stood before. She sat down close to her childhood friend, "Twilight, what's wrong? Did something happen?" Twilight Sparkle sobbed tearfully, "I-I-I-I was so horrible to him!" "What are you talking about, Twi?" Applejack asked in concern. Twilight Sparkle explained to her. She was in shock and concern, "I see. That is really mess up..." "Yes, it was," Twilight Sparkle said in shame, "I wish I'd never come here in the first place. Shadow Dragon and Timber Spruce wouldn't have a big fight in the first place." "Twilight, I can't say this is a better way. But you should try and talk with him." "I don't know if he wants to talk with me again after what I have called to him..." Applejack shook her head as she held Twilight Sparkle close to her, "Twilight, he will. So, try to talk with him. Let him know how you feel. He has to know how much you loved him, no matter what. He is your boyfriend. He'll understand." Twilight Sparkle thought carefully before sighed, "Okay, I'll try. I doubt he would want me be with him." "He will," Applejack said confidently before snickered, "If it doesn't work, then you would use girl's charms and secret weapon." "Huh? What do you mean?" Twilight Sparkle asked in surprise and confusion. Applejack whispered to her, making her surprise and shock including her face blushed in red. She yelped, "You can't be serious?! What about others?!" Applejack winked her left eye, "You can count on me, sister. I've got this." "Are you sure?" "Trust me. You trusted me, don't ya? For old time's sake?" Twilight Sparkle thought carefully of what Applejack has said. She sighed because in her childhood, she has trusted cowgirl for a long time before moving to the city. She always does. She nodded in agreement. Applejack smiled as she helped Twilight Sparkle and moved out. Twilight Sparkle and Applejack meet up with Sunset Shimmer, Flash Sentry, Nyx and Spike who were waiting at tents. Applejack secretly told Sunset Shimmer and Flash Sentry about her plans, which they nodded and agreed to it. Nyx and Spike were confuse and surprise of it. Twilight Sparkle and her friends arrived at Ruby Tent. As they were about to enter, Applejack and Sunset Shimmer halted Nyx and Spike from moving. They went back in. There were some shouting, screaming and complaining within the tent. Nyx and Spike were still confuse of it. Applejack, Flash Sentry and Sunset Shimmer emerged from the tent, along with the sleeping Lance Justicestrike whom the rockstar was carrying while Dragoking was coiling around his girlfriend tightly. "So?" Nyx asked in concern and nervous. Sunset Shimmer sighed while grumbled, "Let's leave them alone. And can you get off me, Dragoking? Seriously, how did Twilight and Shadow Dragon get use to your coiling?" She groaned in anger as she felt Dragoking tightened his coil on her, "Can you get off me?!" Dragoking blew his raspberry at Sunset Shimmer. He slithered down and stayed close to the tent. "I rather not ask," Flash Sentry answered uneasily. He turned and looked at Lance, "I'll take him to Saber's tent. I'm pretty sure that detective wouldn't mind more company." Flash Sentry headed off to Peridot Tent in dropping Lance Justicestrike down. "What about me?" Nyx asked. Sunset Shimmer smiled, "You can sleep with your friends. They don't mind it." "I'll stay here and look after her," Applejack said calmly, "Just in case if Twi needs something." "Me too," Spike joined in before glared at Dragoking, "A dog gotta keep an eye on a snake from peeking on their privacy." Dragoking groaned, "Tattletales..." Sunset Shimmer nodded as she turned and held Nyx's hand, "Come on. Let's go to Sunflower Tent, hopefully they don't mind it." Nyx nodded happily as she followed Sunset Shimmer. They both headed off to Sunflower Tent. Flash Sentry regrouped with his friends after talking with Saber Dragoon and putting Lance Justicestrike inside the tent and slept with them. Applejack sat down on her chair and leaned against the tree as she began sleeping. Dragoking was about to enter, but his tail got stomped by Spike's paws. It annoyed the anaconda a lot. Within Ruby Tent, Shadow Dragon was sitting on his bed while Twilight Sparkle sat on her middle brother's bed. And at the same time, the couples were looking at each other while they remained in silent. They haven't spoke a word since their friends left them alone. They were still thinking of what words to say to each other. Shadow Dragon sighed, "Twilight, I-!" "Shadow Dragon, I'm so sorry!" Twilight Sparkle apologized quickly. It surprised and confuse Shadow Dragon. She cleared her throat, "I mean... I'm sorry. I'm sorry for hurting your feelings when I told you to stay away from me." Shadow Dragon shook his head while looking down in shame, "No, you have the right to say that. I scared the hell out of you and others. What the hell was I thinking and doing?" "Well, you were crazy green-eyed monster, who nearly kill camp consultant to his death if I hadn't snap you out of this." "Geez. Thanks for the reminding, genius." Twilight Sparkle sighed while looking straight at her boyfriend,, "Look, Shadow Dragon. I didn't come here just to criticize your behavior and attitude. I just want to apologize about my action." "Thanks, but I'm still a jerk and I broke the promise," Shadow Dragon said in shame and disappointment, "I try to give Timber Spruce a second chance to befriend. But whenever I see you get so close to him, I gone a bit berserk and protective that I would lose you and never see you again. And I can't shake the feeling that he can't be trusted." "Can't say I'd blame you for this, Shadow Dragon," Twilight Sparkle said calmly and gently. Shadow Dragon shook his head while sighed in defeat. She cleared her throat, "Look, Shadow Dragon, you have to know that I will and always love you no matter what." "Really?" "Of course, silly. I already know that you're doing your best to look after me. I wanna do the same thing for you." And just before Twilight Sparkle could say anything, Shadow Dragon quickly landed his kiss on hers, surprising her. Nevertheless, she returned it to him. They both held and hugged tightly while kissing and interacting their tongues on each other. He even touched and gently rubbed and massaged on her breast while she did to his bottom as they were moaning and groaned happily. Twilight Sparkle gently pushed the confused Shadow Dragon. And just before he could ask, he yelped in surprise. He was looking at her removing her shirt, pants and even her sneakers, leaving her undies only. He was in surprise and shock as his face burnt and blushed in red. His heart start beating very hard and quick. "Well, aren't you gonna do it?" Twilight Sparkle asked while covering herself with bare hands. She blushed at the same time, "We haven't done this for a long time. This is to show you how much I really love you." "Twilight..." Shadow Dragon said in surprise. He sighed firmly as he took his out as well, leaving his undies as well. He approached and held Twilight Sparkle close to him. He then kissed on her forehead passionately, "Believe me, I miss it too. You're ready for this? Did you need-?" Twilight Sparkle kissed briefly on Shadow Dragon's lips, "I already am, Dragon Boy." Shadow Dragon nodded as he leaned and landed his lips on Twilight Sparkle's, who returned it back to him for the moment. While they both kissing, he rubbing and massaging her chest gently; making her moaned happily. She kissed on his right shoulder, slowly moved to his neck while moving him in sitting down on the bed. He held her against his chest tightly before gently shook on hers. She moaned happily as she nuzzled his head gently while holding and hugging him. As Twilight Sparkle holding her boyfriend's head while kissing his lips, Shadow Dragon took her bra out. He proceed in kissing on her chest, making her giggled and moaned happily. She stood up as she removed her bottom undies before his. As he stood up, he lifted her body up by her holding her thighs while she held him round of his neck as they both had their bodies against each other's "Maybe we shouldn't do this," Shadow Dragon said in concern, "Mr. T could-!" Twilight Sparkle shushed before kissed his forehead, "Don't worry, Shadow Dragon. Besides, we've always get into messes anyway. Let's just make the best night of it." Shadow Dragon nodded as he shook his bottom part up, making her gasped in surprise. As he continued shaking, she leaned and shook her chest gently. They both continued kissing and licking each other's tongues and lips happily and passionately. He turned and laid her down on the bed. He climbed over and on top of her before landed his on her. They both continued their making out happily and passionately while moaning and breathing deeply and loudly. "Damn! Keep going! Don't stop! I'm not done with it!" "I am not! Don't worry. I'd never gonna stop!" Shadow Dragon continued pushing against Twilight Sparkle's, making her squealed in bit of pain yet joyfully. She held her boyfriend's back as she moved up and down against his chest. They both continued kissing and moaning passionately and happily. They enjoyed their making love so much. Flash Sentry and Sunset Shimmer were meters away from ruby tent after they have taken Nyx to her friends' tent. Spike gave a wink to them both. They smiled and nodded in agreement. They both headed to Sapphire Tent. They then looked at each other before smiling happily. "Shall we?" Sunset Shimmer asked in amusement as she took her clothes out, "That midnight was interrupted badly." Flash Sentry smirked as he removed his, "No kidding. I need this to be my relaxation." Sunset Shimmer giggled, "Yeah me too." She turned and jumped on her boyfriend, whom just grab and held her up by thighs. She held around his neck. She smiled, "You ready for this, handsome?" "I was born for this, babe." Flash Sentry joked. And just before Sunset Shimmer could do anything, Flash Sentry shook his bottom on hers while she shook her chest against his. They both then kissed each other's lips passionately and happily. After minutes passed, they both headed straight to the bed. He lay her down on the bed. He kissed on her neck and chest passionately and gently. This made her sighed and moaned happily while patting and rubbing his hair playfully. He chuckled a bit as he rubbed and massaged on her chest happily. He then climbed to the head, Flash Sentry kissed on Sunset Shimmer's lips as she returned it to him. Flash Sentry sat up while holding and hugging her tightly and passionately. Sunset Shimmer did the same thing to him. They both nuzzling and kissing each other's bodies and lips passionately and happily. They both also moaned and giggled happily as they enjoyed making it out a lot... Within the interrogation chamber from Fortress of Deity's Wrath, Ripper was injuring, torturing and interrogating Blazefist, Terrorcreep and even Icy. The heroes were badly wounded by him. He approached held Blazefist up high. "Ready to talk, commander?" Ripper asked in amusement. Blazefist groaned painfully while remained firm and silent. He chuckled as he took his kitchen knife out, "Silent as usual. One point for me!" Ripper stabbed his knife through Blazefist's guts hard for five times. He then punched on the commander's face for three times before kicked on wounded part twice. He then held and slammed him on the table hard, causing it to smash into pieces. The commander groaned and moaned painfully while holding tight against his injury. Ripper turned and glared at Terrorcreep. He then held the vampire out, "Are you?" Terrorcreep hissed in anger at Ripper, who shook his head in disappointment while making tsk noise. The killer took a garlic and pushed it into vampire's mouth, causing the latter scream in pain due to his weakness. He even used his flashlights in blinding Terrorcreep's eyes, making him screamed in pain. "Well, I know who's my next prey," Ripper said in amusement as he turned and snickered at Icy before grabbed and held her up, "And I don't need to ask. Where to start to beat the crap out of ya? Punching? Kicking? Stabbing? Or better squeezing and tearing you to pieces?! After that, I'll feed this one to the dogs!" Icy yelped and squeaked in fear while Blazefist and Terrorcreep grunted in pain and shock of what they just heard and saw. Ripper held and began squeezing Icy's face, making her squealed and screamed in pain while her face turned into red and bleeding. Her friends screamed in agony and begging for mercy. "Enough, Ripper!" Surprise and shocked as Ripper turned and found Silverclaw in grabbing and throwing him to the walls hard. Soki stomped and held Ripper to the wall hard and tight. "You've gone too far, Ripper," Soki snarled in anger, "We won't let you continue with this!" Silverclaw nodded, "Interrogating a soldier or prisoner is one thing, but a kid. That's even low, bob. We won't allow this!" "You idiots! You're gonna regret this!" Ripper snarled in anger, "Grand General Vengito will not be please of this! He wants the information now! He needs to know who told them about this!" Soki scoffed as he held and grabbed Ripper up, "You worry about yourself, killer while we worry about our jobs. Now get out!" Soki turned to the door and thrown Ripper out before close it. Silverclaw put some medicine on three captured heroes, Soki joined in as well. "You okay, bob?" Silverclaw asked. Blazefist coughed, "I'll live. Thanks..." "You should really told us of who gave the information to you, then you wouldn't get injured a lot." Soki said in concern. He sighed, "But you wouldn't tell us anyway." Terrorcreep groaned in pain, "You've got that right. Even if we knew who has helped us, we wouldn't tell you!" Silverclaw scoffed in defeat, "I have the feeling that you're telling the truth. We're really wasting our time deom." "All Ripper has done so far was just a game for me. His way sickens me," Soki snarled in anger while clenched his fists tightly. He sighed calmly including relaxing his fist, "We'll be leaving. Our medic will take care of you." Soki and Silverclaw stood up and turned as they were about to leave. Icy coughed heavily, "Wait!" They turned and looked at her. She asked, "Why? Why did you help us? Why did you believe in us? Aren't you suspicious of us?" Silverclaw scoffed, "We trust our guts. Plus, you guys are real good ones, unlike our boss." Soki nodded, "Yeah. We don't like his cause for conquest or even want to destroy the humanity. This leads us to nowhere but destruction." He sighed while crossed his arms, "Humans and mutants have lived in peace since the early 2000. But now it's gonna be destroyed..." "If you knew Nezha's ways were wrong," Blazefist grunted in pain, "Why? Why join him?" Silverclaw snarled, "Trust me, kids. We didn't want to, but we have no choice." "There's always the choice," Terrorcreep grunted in pain, "You don't have to help him just because you're both mutants..." "You don't understand," Soki said in concern, "He has forced us because he has our friends leveraged. If we refused or rebelled, they'll be dead because of us. I'm sorry. There's nothing we can do now." Silverclaw sighed while gestured his guards to come in, "Guards, heal them and take them back to their cells now." "It doesn't have to be this way," Blazefist said firmly, "There's always another way to stop this. And I know your friends wouldn't want you to go through this. You're their heroes. Don't disappoint them..." Icy nodded, "Help us. This is your chance to redeem yourself." Ultimate War Soldiers nodded firmly as they approached and helped three captured heroes before exited the chamber. Both Silverclaw and Soki looked at each other before sighed in shame. And at the same time, they have some thoughts of their captured prisoners' words... On the next day... On the table, Saber Dragoon yawned loudly as he woke up from his sleep. He groaned in annoyance before looked at his computer which consisted of Camp Everfree and searching the location of Fortress of Deity's Wrath. Ace was sleeping inside the empty bowl. He sighed in annoyance. He got a lot of works to do especially finding out of who Mr. T really was. Saber Dragoon turned and found Laxtinct was sleeping happily while hugging sleeping Tailtech. He even found Lance Justicestrike sleeping on his bed. He yelped in surprise of seeing it. "What?! What's Lance doing here?!" Saber Dragoon asked in surprise and confusion. He hummed in recalling the event, "Flash did say something to me when I was sleeping. He say about Twi and Shadow Dragon need some time alone in bed." He shrugged, "Doesn't matter. I need more sleep before I can get back to my work." Saber Dragoon yawned as he lie down on the table again while snoring peacefully. While still naked yet covered by blanket, Rarity was sleeping and muttered happily peacefully on her bed. She moaned upon hearing grumbled and muttered in anger especially typing and beeping noise. She slowly opened her eyes and found Shorty Thinking was researching through his computer, though he has a towel covered around his bottom parts. She yawned loudly as she got up and had her body covered in towel. While Shorty Thinking was working on his project on Artificial Energon, Rarity approached behind of him. She gave him a kiss by a neck, before a cheek. He smiled in amusement. He turned, grabbed and held her on his lap. They both gave each other a passionate long kiss. She turned and faced at the laptop. "Still struggling, my handsome prince?" Rarity asked in amusement. Shorty Thinking nodded while looking at the schematic and gemdust formula, "Yes. The gemdust is the problem. I can't find or analyze its effect or its function. I doubt this will help us solve the Artificial Energon infection. I know the rest are effective to make cure but what does gemdust gotta to do with it?" "Maybe we could test it." "No, it's too risky. There's no telling what Artificial Energon will do to gemdust. I fear that we could be infected." "Oh for the love of my-!" Rarity groaned in annoyance as she took the canister and bag of colorful gemdust up, "Why must you rely on science and logic?!" She readied the canister to drip a drop on the bag, "You have to think outside of the box, just like how I did with my fashions!" Shorty Thinking gasped, "Rarity, no!" Shorty Thinking quickly held and pull the canister, causing Rarity to pull it back. Both struggled in getting the canister away from each other. Moment of struggling, their hands slipped as the canister accidentally spilled on the bag and even Rarity's face. Shorty Thinking gasped, "Noooooooooooo!" Feeling burning and boiling her skin, Rarity touched her face as she felt it was bubbling and mutating. She screamed in pain, fear and agony. Shorty Thinking saw her face was mutating as he was feared. He screamed in fear while panicked of thinking a way to save her. A sudden glare of light blinded him, he adjusted his glassed and turned to its direction. He found a bag of gemdust glowing brightly and colorfully especially the Artificial Energon's slowly dimmed and mutated into normal Energon. It surprise and shock Shorty Thinking. "I-It works?! How?!" Shorty Thinking asked in surprise. Hearing his love-interest screaming, he yelped in concern, "No time! I've gotta make the cure now!" He quickly grabbed and place Rarity down on his bed. He fasten belts on her tightly. He held her face while looking at her eyes, "Hang on, Rarity. I'm gonna make the cure now!" Rarity hissed in pain, "H-hurry! It's pain!" Shorty Thinking nodded as he quickly turned and looked through his computer. He began making the cure by putting a herb leaf, two white irises flowers, small amount of black peppers, a drop of tree sap and honey, a bottle of calcium oxide, a flask of Acetic Acid and small amount of colorful gemdust into a bowl. He then smashed and mixed together before poured into a water. He quickly stirred and mixed them swiftly and quickly as its ingredients slowly dissolved and formed together into silver water-like. Shorty Thinking turned and found Rarity's face slowly formed into a humanoid insect-like ladybug, followed by the body. He gasped in concern as he quickly finish mixing the medicine. With it complete, he poured the formula into medical injector's tube. "I haven't tested it yet but..." Shorty Thinking said in concern. He saw Rarity screeched in anger and agony as her transformation into a ladybug mutant is almost complete. He groaned, "Time's running out! I've got stop it now!" Shorty Thinking injected the cure into Rarity's pulse, causing herself halted in shock and her transformation has stopped as well. He stopped and looked at her in pure shock and concern. She took a deep breathe before closing her eyes. He was in shock and concern while looking at her motionless. "What have I done?!" Shorty Thinking asked in shock and pain before forming tears, "What have I done?!" Continued crying and sobbing in despair, Shorty Thinking landed and covered his head with hands on Rarity's stomach while muttered 'sorry' about it. Unknown to himRarity's body slowly mutated and transformed back into her normal state. She sighed while opening her eyes. While confuse and surprise, she looked around including Shorty Thinking sobbing on her. It shock her. "Shorty?" Rarity asked. "Not now. I've just lost you, Rarity. It's all my fault," Shorty Thinking said in anger and shame. He gasped before looked up and looked at her. She smiled. He gasped, "Y-You're alive?! You're alive!" "Of course, silly, I am alive! Whoops!" Rarity exclaimed in surprise as she being lifted and leaned close to him. Shorty Thinking gave a long passionate kiss on her lips. She kissed him back. They departed. She sighed while holding him by shoulder, "Shorty, what happen?" Shorty Thinking sighed as he has his nose rubbed his lover's, "Miracle happens. We found the cure!" Rarity gasped in surprise. He nodded and continued, "You were right, Rarity. Gemdust is the answers! It's the one we've been looking for! It reverse the Artificial Energon to its regular forms especially infected ones. We did it! We really did it!" He sighed while looking at Rarity, "You are my lucky charm." Rarity giggled happily, "Oh you. So are you to me." Shorty Thinking and Rarity gave a long deep passionate kiss as they were making love. They stopped at once as they heard some noise and calling his name. He put her down as they both quickly covered themselves in towel. He approached and opened the tent as he found Mane Three, Cutie Mark Crusaders and the rest of Dragon Strike Force were standing before them. "Hey..." Shorty Thinking greeted uneasily. "What the hell happen, Shorty?!" Aquastroke asked in concern. Saber Dragoon nodded in concern, "We heard screaming and screeching! Did something bad happen?!" Everyone nodded and chatted in concern. Shorty Thinking sighed calmly while smiling happily. "Miracle happens. I've found the cure!" Shorty Thinking remarked. Everyone gasped in surprise before cheered wildly and happily. He sighed as he opened the gate while revealed Rarity smiling and leaning against his chest. He smiled, "And of course, Rarity and I were sleeping together." Everyone but Cutie Mark Crusaders and Pinkie Pie were in shock as they have their mouths opened wide and shock upon what they're looking at. Laxtinct and Lance Justicestrike gulped, "What the heck?!" "D-di-did you guys... Really-?!" Rainbow Dash asked in shock and surprise. Fluttershy nodded in shock, "Oh my goodness..." "Why are you guys naked?" Sweetie Belle asked in confusion. Pinkie Pie nodded, "Yeah, it like you two were having-?!" Saber Dragoon and Aquastroke yelped as they quickly shushed Pinkie Pie's mouth up at once while Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy covered and shielding Cutie Mark Crusaders' eyes. "Ah... We'd better leave them alone," Saber Dragoon said nervously. Aquastroke nodded, "Yeah! Just do your thing and meet us at the dock. We've got a lot of works to do now!" Shorty Thinking and Rarity laughed uneasily and nervously before nodded in understanding. Their friends left at once. They both turned and looked at each other. "Should we?" Rarity asked curiously. Shorty Thinking shrugged while smiling, "Ah, what the heck! Come on! After that, I'm gonna prepare the cure." Shorty Thinking closed the tent's door at once as he and Rarity were making love happily and passionately. Both Spike and Dragoking were sleeping peacefully and harmonically on the ground. Applejack woke up as she yawned loudly. She took a peek through Ruby Tent. She found Shadow Dragon and Twilight Sparkle were naked while sleeping on the same bed peacefully. She sighed happily in seeing Twilight Sparkle happy again. As the cowgirl closed the tent's door, she turned to the front and found Flare Tiger standing and looking at her amusingly. "Flare Tiger?!" Applejack asked in surprise, "What brings you here?" "Nothing wrong. Just wanna sit down and chat with my partner," Flare Tiger remarked as she approached Applejack. She held and pushed the cowgirl in sitting down the chair. She joined in. She then asked, "So, how's Twilight?" "Wh-what? What makes you think Twilight is here?" "Just my instinct. And you can't fool me" "Well, she's fine, Flare Tiger. She's having fun with Shadow Dragon last night. They're now sleeping. They're both fine now after what has happen from last night." "I see. Looks like they weren't the only ones. Rarity had fun with Shorty Thinking, and now Flash and Sunset joined in the fun." "Wow. Sounds like 'Can you feel the Love Tonight' theme?" "Yeah. It sure is, AJ." Flare Tiger remarked in amusement. She cleared her throat, "Twilight's having nightmare of her and knight, doesn't she?" Applejack yelped, "How did you-?!" "My instinct. And I've got the feeling that something bad is happening." "If it is coming true, then how do we prevent the Darkest Hour Prophecy? Twilight deserve something better than nightmares." Flare Tiger sighed, "I don't know but we have to be there for our friends and stop it, no matter what." Applejack sighed, "I guess it makes sense. We'd better leave them alone. We've got a dock to fix." Flare Tiger nodded in agreement as she and Applejack headed off to the dock at once while leaving both Dragoking and Spike guard the place. At 10 o' clock, Mane Five and Dragon Strike Force met up with Autobots and G.I. Joe at the docks due to Shorty Thinking giving an important announcement. They but Rarity were all shocked and surprised by Shorty Thinking's announcement. They all couldn't believe in it. "Yes. It defines the logic and theory but it's true," Shorty Thinking exclaimed in surprise while showing the canister of Energon Cure to his allies, "This gemdust is really the answer to solve our problem. I tested this morning when... When..." Rarity giggled uneasily, "When I accidentally pour the canister of Artificial Energon on myself, I nearly turned into monster if not for him making a quick thinking." Everyone commented and remarked in surprise and amazement about Shorty Thinking's discovery and creating the cure. "However, we need more gemdust if we ever want to create more cure," Shorty Thinking suggested firmly, "I need a team to come with me. Any volunteers?" Tailtech raised his hand in volunteered, followed by Cade Yeager, Colonel Lennox, Sergeant Epps, Prowl, Drift, Smokescreen, Spirit, Jinx and Tunnel Rat. Shorty Thinking smiled in relief as he led the team in scoured and searched through the forest in getting and collecting more of gemdust. The rest of their friends were working and building on the docks. Using Energon Trackers in matching gemdust's frequency and materials, Shorty Thinking and his team spent minutes in searching it through deep forest. And at the same time, they also collect other ingredients to their list in making cure with gemdust. As they gone deep and deeper into forest, their trackers went off. They quickly followed its direction, which led they straight to a giant hole, which was a few meter away from rock quarry. As Shorty Thinking's expedition team approached to the giant hole, they found a few yet large piles of gemdusts. They were in shock and surprise as they finally found it. Nyx was sitting down on the table while eating her food. She was thinking and worrying about Twilight Sparkle and Shadow Dragon. She prayed and hoped they didn't break up again like last night. Cutie Mark Crusaders and Lance Justicestrike looked concern of her since they heard the story from her. Lance Justicestrike approached and held Nyx in his comfort, "Nyx, everything will be alright. You know that, right?" Scootaloo nodded, "Yeah. Shadow Dragon and Twilight Sparkle will be back together and forget what happen from last night." "How would you know?" Nyx asked dryly. Apple Bloom sighed as she patted Nyx's back gently, "We don't. But as long we help them out, they won't and never break up again." Sweetie Belle nodded, "Yeah! We're always be friends till the end, no matter what." Touched by their concerns and kindness, Nyx couldn't help but smiled at her friends and Lance Justicestrike. She hugged all of them as they returned it to her. As they were chatting with each other, they spotted Optimus Prime was returning from his walk at the forest. They greeted him but he ignored them as he returned to his tent. "That's weird..." Nyx commented in shock and disappointed. Apple Bloom nodded, "He doesn't say hello to us. He looks so much like stoic and angry. Was he always like that?" "No..." Sam said as he and Mikaela approached their friends. He continued, "He wasn't like this before. Something is off with Optimus Prime." "Did something bad happen to him," Lance Justicestrike asked in concern. Mikaela shook her head, "Not that I know of. Optimus Prime has been secretive lately and always talk about doing work while making sure we enjoy our vacay since five months ago. He's hiding something from us." "What are we gonna do?" Sweetie Belle asked, "I'm scared..." "Why don't we follow and find out," Scootaloo suggested. Everyone looked at her. She shrugged, "Well, I don't see anyone got bright ideas." Everyone looked at each other for the moment before sighed in defeat. They headed towards Optimus Prime's tent while hiding behind his crates to spy on him. They spotted Optimus Prime was talking to Sqweeks. "Any word, Sqweeks?" Optimus Prime asked in concern, "I hope the information I took from Megatron could help you much." Sqweeks sighed, "No. I'm still unable to find him, although the information proved to be useful especially the prophecy. I detected the planets are almost in align including Cybertron. We have two more days. I've got bad feelings about this." "This isn't good. We can't let this happen. We must find Black Alpha before the Ultimates does!" "Agree. I hate to imagine of what the Knights are capable of! Not that I have anything against you, Prime." "Just do your best, Sqweeks. Hopefully we can find and defeat the Creator." Optimus Prime said firmly yet darkly. Cutie Mark Crusaders, Lance Justicestrike, Sam and Mikaela gasped softly upon hearing it. Not noticing or heard of them, he continued, I know he's here. And I fear he may use the Knights to destroy all of us and me during the planetary alignment. We can't let that happen." Sqweeks nodded and saluted, "Understood! I'll do my best!" Optimus Prime nodded, "I'll do mine as well." Sqweeks hummed in concern, "Sir, I don't want to suggest it again. But maybe you should tell-!" "No," Optimus Prime denied, "I don't want them to be involved of this. They have been through enough especially the loss and damages of Cybertron. I can't bear to see them suffered and died again. I have to fight the Creator alone. I don't want them to bear my burden again." "Optimus..." "Proceed with the progress now. Time is running out." With his Minicon nodded, Optimus Prime and Sqweek continued monitoring and researching on finding location o both Creator and Black Alpha. Cutie Mark Crusaders, Lance Justicestrike, Same and Mikaela were in shock of what they just heard as they quickly left the base. The children couldn't believe in their own eyes and ears. Optimus Prime has kept all of his friends in dark because of his decision and wanted to defeat Creator by himself. They need to tell their friends about it at once. In Sapphire Tent, Flash Sentry and Sunset Shimmer were still sleeping on the bed peacefully while nuzzling and massaging each other's bodies and heads. Suddenly, Wheelie and Brains jumped and bounced on them for few times, making them wake up at once. Flash Sentry groaned, "Not you again..." "Get up, Sentry!" Wheelie exclaimed in annoyance, "You're not welcome here!" Brains nodded in agreement, "Get lost now!" "Shut up, you two! I need him here," Sunset Shimmer shouted at both Wheelie and Brains. Two Minicons groaned and muttered in annoyance. She turned to her boyfriend, "Sorry about that." "Nah, I'm fine." Flash Sentry said calmly before kissing on her forehead. He sighed, "So, what's next? Check on Twi and S.D.?" "No. They need time alone. We need to do something about our magic abilities." "What's up with that, baby?" "Believe me, Flash. I loved this new magic. I want to know and expand it. And I don't want to ignore it because it's part of me. Not just that, I want to help Twilight to overcome her fears." "Just like Friendship Games, you actually hated it?" Flash Sentry asked in amusement. Sunset Shimmer sighed in defeat. He held and hugged her close to him. He kissed her lips for the moment. He continued, "How about we just do it?" "Huh?" Sunset Shimmer asked in confusion before realized it, "You don't mean... Use the magic?" "Yeah. What else I've been referring to?" "But Shorty said-!" "Shorty's scientist and nerd. What does he knows about magic? Magic is part of you. And I'd say go for it! Besides, this is a perfect chance to prove to Twiley that she can use her magic for good, just like you, babe." Sunset Shimmer thought of Flash Sentry's advice before smiling, "Yeah, you're right. No more hiding. It's time to use more of magic now." "That's my girl..." Flash Sentry smiled as he got up from the bed, "Come on. We'd better go now." Sunset Shimmer nodded, "Yeah. I agree. Let's get dressed." Sunset Shimmer and Flash Sentry got themselves dress up. Wheelie and Brains were watching the event. "Why does the rockstar always gets the girl?" Wheelie asked in annoyance. Brains shrugged, "Must be his lucky charm..." Cutie Mark Crusaders and their friends quickly arrived at the dock. They told the rest of their friends about their discovery on Optimus Prime's secretive and 'work'. Their friends were in shock but disappointed and angered about it especially Optimus Prime. They muttered and chatted in anger about it softly and secretly as they want to give pieces of their minds to Leader of Autobots about his secrets. Nevertheless, everyone continued working and doing their activities. Hound was studying his medic studies. Crosshairs was practicing his shot at distance in throwing his frustration and anger. Crosshairs' sniping and shooting practices irritated Hound a lot. Hound growled, "Crosshairs, you son of the-! Will you cut it out?! I'm trying to study here!" Crosshairs scoffed before turned and glared at Hound, "Well, my bad! I was taking my anger out of it. Thank you very much! This sucks! All of this sucks! All this time, he actually knew that this planet got Creator! And told us nothing about it!" Hound groaned in anger, "Oh believe me! I got pissed about it too! I can't believe that Prime never told us!" "Oh yeah?!" Crosshairs demanded in annoyance, "When I see Mr. Leader of Free Galaxy, I'm gonna put the bullet right into his face!" "Well, good luck with that," Hound remarked dryly, "I doubt you can handle it." Snake Eyes, Roadblock, Arcee, Breakaway, Shane and Tessa were shortening the logs into pile of rectangle woods. Angered and frustrated about the secrets, Roadblock struck and cut the woods to pieces with his bare hands. Snake Eyes noticed it as the silent ninja approached and comforted his ally by patting on his back. Roadblock sighed as he turned and looked at Snake Eyes, "I know. I know. I was just..." He was interrupted by Snake Eyes, who gestured in breathing in and out briefly while suggesting calming down and meditating. He sighed in defeat, "Believe me, ninja. I've got issue of meditating and relax after learning the real secrets behind Optimus Prime's homecoming! I'm so pissed!" Snake Eyes sighed while shook his head in concern. Arcee sighed, "I've always thought we could trust and believe in him. He always told us to do the right thing. But this... I just can't... This is unacceptable." "You tell me, sister," Breakaway groaned, "He lied to us! I never had doubts on him till today." "Guys, calm down," Tessa calmed her friends, "I'm sure Optimus Prime didn't mean it. He has his own reason of not letting us involved of this." "Yeah. Not like he's gonna gone zombie or crazy to kill us," Shane remarked dryly, causing Tessa glared before looked away in anger. He has facepalmed, "Seriously?! What's gonna take to win your heart, baby! Please, don't go break my heart!" Tessa groaned, "Shut up, hotspot." Saber Dragoon, Ace and even Laxtinct were researching on the data they have collected from Mr. T's data bank. Laxtinct yawned loudly while eating his potato chips, "Are we done yet?!" "It would have been if you help me more!" Saber Dragoon remarked dryly while researching and inspecting Mr. T's data bank. Each time he tried to access it, Mr. T's classified data bank denied it. He groaned before slammed his fist on the ground, "Damn it! This is a lot harder than I thought! What are the secrets T is hiding?" "Dude, you're sure it's good idea of doing this?" "I'm sure! I've seen Mr. T somewhere and I must know and confirm my suspicious. I can't ignore this! He's not who he seems to be." "But it's still bad, right?" "No, it's not," Saber Dragoon said dryly. Ace shown the phone, which consisted of Mr. T's old picture frame. He hummed, "I can't help but wonder how and why does he has connection to Nezha and the Ultimates." "A servant? A soldier? A worker?" Laxtinct asked randomly. Saber Dragoon sighed, "Only one way to find out. Hack Mr. T's data bank." Duke, Scarlett, Sam, Mikaela, Bumblebee and Sideswipe were discussing and chatting about what to do with Optimus Prime. "So, what are we gonna do?" Mikaela asked in concern. "Confront him!" Bumblebee radioed in anger, "He must tell us the truth! He! Cannot hide forever! He never told us what's really going!" "I'm with you," Duke agreed, "I'm pretty sure the rest of us want that too. Optimus is gonna tell us whether he likes it or not. He can't hide the truth from us." Scarlett nodded, "We're the team. We were supposed to work together as one, not hiding and doing personal vendetta." "Easy, guys! Let's just talk first and hopefully, he will tell us," Sam suggested. Sideswipe groaned, "You'd better hope you're right, kid. We trust him for a long time..." Shorty Thinking and his expedition team has returned to the dock, along with the bags of gemdusts they found. As they set the lab and tools out, they began working and creating the cure now. Tailtech sighed, "I'm having hard time to believe that you and Rarity have made love from last night led you accidental discovery of gemdust's effects on Artificial Energon. Amazingly great!" "Are you sure the gemdust can cure the infected or Rainbow Energon and its dark?" Tunnel Rat asked in concern. Shorty Thinking gave him a death glare. He yelped, "Just asking. Coz last time you told us that it's just plain, not magical." Smokescreen nodded, "Yeah. And it's not made of Energon." Shorty Thinking groaned in anger, "For the last time, yes, it works! I saved Rarity from being mutated into giant ladybug monster! Yet you still doubt me." He huffed, "I may have hard time to accept magic is also part of reality, but I know when to accept the defeat." Cade Yeager chuckled, "Yeah. I know what you mean. Tessa and Shane have hard time to trust Autobots but they know who is the bad people now." "Tell me about it," Colonel Lennox groaned. Sergeant Epps scoffed, "My mom and dad said - always trust guts than words." "Spiritual or artificial, it matters not," Spirit said calmly and firmly, "What matters the most is that we have the cure." Drift nodded, "Indeed. With them, we can save lives and even the infected ones." "That would be relief of it," Prowl remarked in relief. Jinx nodded in agreement, "Yeah. The world will be in safe hand while the Ultimates will be thrown to the jail for good." "Let's us hope so," Shorty Thinking agreed before turned his attention to his equipment and ingredients. He sighed, "Let us focus on making more cure. We're gonna need them. Lots of them if we ever combat with infected and our enemies." Mane Four, Aquastroke, Flint, Lady Jaye and Ripcord were working on the docks while Rarity, Cutie Mark Crusaders and Lance Justicestrike were working and designing fashions. However, Mane Five struggled in working due to their fears of their new magical abilities. Feared and hesitant, Rainbow Dash walked slowly while carrying pile of planks as she was headed towards Applejack, Aquastroke and Flare Tiger, who were hammering and fixing the dock's planks. Her coach noticed as she was annoyed and irritated by it. "Rainbow Dash, would you hurry up?!" Aquastroke demanded in annoyance. Rainbow Dash was about to run but she interrupted, "Without going superspeed?!" Rainbow Dash groaned before noticed Rarity's doing. The fashionista was sewing on her dress while humming harmonically and happily like singing a song. Cutie Mark Crusaders and Lance Justicestrike were assisting her on it. Rainbow Dash groaned, "You gonna give us a hand here, Rarity?" Rarity sighed happily while sewing her skirt, "Oh, I'd love to, but I really need to get the stitching on this poncho done before it's going to make it into the camp fashion show." She gave a glare at Rainbow Dash, "Though at the pace you two are moving, I don't know that the runway will ever be finished." "Is she serious?" Ripcord asked in annoyance and anger as he was helping Fluttershy tied the ropes tightly on the pole, "She can't even tell difference between runway and dock." Flint groaned as he held the plank down, "She thinks this is a fashion when we're actually in the middle of the forest!" "I rather not find out about it," Lady Jaye said dryly before hammered it down, "Besides, the dock is our gift to the camp and it's gonna get finished. That is if your friend would hurry up and bring us more wood." Applejack nodded while glaring at Rainbow Dash, "Yeah. I wonder why she's slow." "Oh, I can't go any faster! I don't want to end up in the woods again." Rainbow Dash said dryly.She turned and glared at Applejack, "But I'm the only who is too soft on hammering the nails down." Applejack sighed, "I know I said we should try to forget all about this new magic business, but I can't. What if I hammer the board into splinters?" Thinking what Applejack has said, Aquastroke fantasized about her friends including Rainbow Dash unable to control their magical abilities that could led them to troubles and destruction. She sighed in defeat. "At this rate, we'll never get the docks done," Aquastroke said in concern while clenching her fists, "And we really need to do something about your magic abilities. We can't let it distract us too much." Rarity, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash hummed in concern as they couldn't help but agree with Aquastroke's concerns of using magic. Three G.I. Joe remained silent while working on the dock. Flare Tiger sighed, "Come on, everyone. We can still do this. Just relax, forget the problem and focus on working on docks." "Can you believe this?" Lance Justicestrike asked in anger, "They're letting the magic abilities get into their heads." "This is getting ridiculous," Apple Bloom remarked dryly, "Our sisters need to snap out of this." Sweetie Belle nodded, "Just because they have new magic doesn't mean they're gonna be monsters or cause more problems." "Yeah," Scootaloo agreed, "They've got no problem with pony-up. Why should this one be different?" Nyx sighed, "Well, it's time to snap them out now before they'll go crazy like my sister. I really hate to see that again..." As Applejack was about to get another set of nails, she found them no more, "Aw, shoot! I'm all out of nails." "Oh, here you go!" Everyone stopped their activities as they turned to the front edge where they found something horrifying and shocking. Pinkie Pie was holding the box of nails. They recalled what her ability can do, and they really don't like it. She was about to throw it. Everyone quickly screamed and shouted in fear and agony. "PINKIE, NO!" As Pinkie Pie thrown the bag of nail at her friends, they all quickly moved away from it at once. Applejack quickly jumped and landed on the front as the nail packet just passing her by. Flare Tiger and Aquastroke jumped and dived into lake at once. It was about to land on the rest. Rarity quickly summoned her force field in deflecting it, but it also pushed the rest of her friends - knocking Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy into lake, deflecting Cutie Mark Crusaders and Lance Justicestrike on pile of fashion clothes and thrown Ripcord, Flint and Lady Jaye back. The trio knocked Crosshairs, making marksman yelped in shock as he fell and destroyed the docks while accidentally fired his sniping rifle. It sniped Hound's left foot. The medic and commando screamed in pain as he held and wrapped his foot while hopping around. While hopping, Hound tripped and fell on the wood cutting team, which quickly moved aside at once. Shane and Tessa knocked Saber Dragoon, Ace and Laxtinct out from the table, causing the cup of water on laptop in getting electrocuted and blown up. Roadblock and Snake Eyes moved away at once, accidentally knock the scientist group and their equipment got damaged. Arcee and Breakaway jumped and about to land on Bumblebee, Sideswipe, Duke and Scarlett. Duke and Scarlett rolled off to the front, but accidentally dived into lake while Bumblebee and Sideswipe tripped and fell on the courtyard hard. The students screamed and panicked in fear while running away from chaos at once. The School Staffs were shouting and trying to calm them down. Everyone groaned and moaned in pain and agony after a sudden surprise attack by Pinkie Pie. They looked at the nail packet. They found it intact and perfect shape. They all sighed in relief. "What?" Pinkie Pie asked oblivious. She gasped, "Oh, did you think the nails would explode like the sprinkles?" She giggled a bit, "Wow! Glad that didn't happen, huh?" "Glad?! Glad?!" Shorty Thinking demanded in anger while glaring at confuse and worry Pinkie Pie, "I thought I told you all to be careful and not use your magic ability! This kind of stunt almost got us killed!" He turned and gestured the area, "And look at this?! It's a mess especially my lab!" Saber Dragoon nodded as he picked his laptop, "And my laptop! The clues! The information! The evidences! And even trying to encrypt the secrets behind Mr. T! They're gone!" He screamed in anger, "We will never find out of who is T and find our friends!" "I'm sorry," Pinkie Pie apologized in shame, "I-I-I didn't mean it! I just want to help!" "Yeah, your help is real great, girly!" Ripcord remarked dryly, "That almost kills us!" Tunnel Rat and Smokescreen groaned, "Yeah! Now I really hate magic!" "Back off, guys!" Rainbow Dash snarled while readied to fight, "You're messing with the wrong girl! And I mean don't mess with me!" Tunnel Rat and Ripcord groaned, "You asked for it!" And just before Tunnel Rat, Ripcord and Smokescreen could do anything; Spirit held both back while Hound grabbed the rookie. Aquastroke came to Rainbow Dash's aid. "Leave her alone," Aquastroke exclaimed in anger while pushing Rainbow Dash back, "You wanna kick her ass, kick mine first coz I don't let someone mess with me!" "Will you stop treating me like a kid?!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed in anger and annoyance, "I can handle it by myself!" "Rainbow Dash, don't argue with me! I'm trying to look after you!" "Oh yeah?! I can look after myself! I don't need your babysitting, you bitch!" "Watch your mouth, Dash! I'm still your coach! I know what is best for you!" "You're not my mother or my sister! I don't need you now!" Everyone was in shock and surprise of what they just heard including Aquastroke. Rainbow Dash has snapped at her. The coach was speechless of it. Rainbow Dash gasped in realization of her words. "Coach, I..." Rainbow Dash said in shock and shame, "I didn't mean to-!" Shamed and disappointed, Aquastroke looked away from Rainbow Dash while looking ashamed of it. Everyone remained silent while watching the event. They all wondered if the coach and student ever reconciled. "What is going on?!" Optimus Prime demanded as he entered the scene. Everyone turned and glared at him. He looked confuse and concern, "Is there something wrong?" "Well, yeah!" Bumblebee radioed in anger before radioed in Optimus Prime's voice, "You lied to us! After all we have done, you don't know what you brought upon yourself!" While Optimus Prime confused, Sideswipe nodded firmly, "You didn't come home just to have reunion or vacation with us. You came here to hunt and kill the Creator, didn't you?!" Optimus Prime was in shock and concern of it, "H-How did-?!" He turned and found Cutie Mark Crusaders helped Lance Justicestrike up. He sighed, "I didn't mean to deceive you, my friends. But this is my fight and personal matters. It does not concerns you." "It concerns all of us," Cade insisted in anger, "We're doing this together." Sam nodded in agreement, "We all trusted you! We believed in you! We're not just friends, we're family and brothers!" "Yeah. We can help you," Mikaela said calmly. She sighed, "But how can we if you don't trust us?" Calm and firm, Optimus Prime looked around of his surroundings. He found both Autobots and allies were glaring at him. They were all concerned, angered and doubtful of him now. His eyes widened in concern and shock about his action. Nyx sighed while looking at Optimus Prime, "I always look up to you because you're my hero." Optimus Prime sighed before squatted down and patted Nyx's head with a finger, "I'm sorry. I hidden the truth because I do not want to endanger you all in my mission especially dealing with the Creators. I have sacrificed too much of my kind for the good cause. It is enough." Arcee shook her head in disagreement, "Optimus, we sacrificed our lives to do what is right. And you taught us to do the right thing especially you say 'freedom is the right for every sentient being'." Bumblebee nodded in agreement, "Yeah. We will follow you to the end." "You inspired us. We would never forget that," Sam commented. Cade sighed, "Even you have lost faith, we'll keep on reminding of what's important to the team and the family." "But you've gotta trust us and work together with us," Colonel Lennox added, "Just like old times." Optimus Prime thought carefully before sighed, "I understand. I will let you know everything I have known and learned. No secrets. I promised." Everyone sighed in relief as they're glad that Optimus Prime agree to let them know about his discovery and information he has found. Despite of that, they looked around of their surroundings - Camp Everfree was in ruined and mess. "This is terrible," Rarity commented before looking at her hands, "I don't know how to control my magic." She sighed in shame before looking at Shorty Thinking, "Do you think we should get rid of it with your cure?" Shorty Thinking hummed in concern, "Highly unlikely. Your magic is pure natural, not artificial. So, it's impossible to get rid of it." "Then, what are we gonna do with the magic?" Applejack asked, "I wish we could pretend that they're not even here and cause the problem." "Which is why we shouldn't pretend this isn't happening." Sunset Shimmer suggested calmly and firmly. Everyone turned as they found Sunset Shimmer, Flash Sentry and two Minicons arrived at the scenes, "Everyone, we can't just brush these powers aside, because it doesn't seem like the ideal time to get them. It's like asking Mutants to hid and hate their powers, Joes to be mindless soldiers or Autobots to be in transports forever." Flash Sentry nodded in agreement, "That sound very unfair for everyone to give up what makes them special. Do you really want to get rid of it?" Everyone gave some thoughts about Sunset Shimmer's speech. They couldn't help but felt hers were reasonable and inspired enough. "So what do you propose?" Shorty Thinking asked curiously. Sunset Shimmer smiled as she approached to the docks while looking at her team and friends. "We work together and use our powers for good as a team," Sunset Shimmer suggested firmly and calmly. She smiled, "What if it turns out that they could actually make things better?" Wheelie groaned, "I hear song's coming in..." "Just great..." Brains said dryly, "Why am I not surprise about this?" Sunset Shimmer: So you have magic And it's not that great But when it found you You know it was fate Sunset Shimmer began chatting and talking with her friends and team one-by-one about using magic and powers for good. They were surprise but touched and inspired by her. They couldn't help but to agree with her. They all nodded their heads in working together while using their magic and power as a team. Sunset Shimmer: And it might seem scary now But it can be wonderful, too So how about we embrace the magic And make the magic part of you? As Flash Sentry playing his guitar, Sunset Shimmer continued singing passionately while encouraging and motivating her friends, teams and students in building the dock and cleaning the mess at Camp Everfree together as one. Sunset Shimmer: You take a little dash of magic And you let it ignite Mix things up a little bit And it might start to go right Pinkie Pie used her magical explosive sprinkles in making couple of holes on the pile of planks. Using her super speed magic, Rainbow Dash charged in as she built and made them into a chair. Lance Justicestrike began painting on them patiently and enjoyably. Rainbow Dash turned and gave a thumbs up to Aquastroke. However, her coach ignored it as she continued cleaning and clearing by using her Water Mutant Power in taking out the splinters and broken woods out before pouring into the bag, assisted by Lady Jaye and Flint. Rainbow Dash was heartbroken and shocked by it before sighed in shame as she looked away and helped her friends out. Sunset Shimmer: In just five seconds flat How the story has changed All 'cause now you've embraced the magic And it just got better in every way Team consisted of Tailtech, Cade Yeager, Sam Witwicky and Mikaela; Shorty Thinking taught and instructed them of administering and manufacturing the Artificial Energon Cure. Sergeant Epps, Shane, Tessa, Laxtinct, Smokescreen and Tunnel Rat were clearing and cleaning messes. Colonel Lennox, Prowl, Drift, Snake Eyes and Jinx were finding, gathering and bringing back a few of ingredients to the lab in making more cure. Sunset Shimmer: I say embrace the magic No more holding back, just let it out If you can take the magic And learn a little more what it can do Once the magic is part of you Optimus Prime resumed his research and work on searching the location of the Creator and Black Alpha, with the help and assistance of Sqweeks. But not alone as he was assisted by Bumblebee, Sideswipe, Duke and Scarlett. Saber Dragoon and Ace even joined in as they were researching on Camp Everfree's history and Mr. T's secrets from his damaged laptop. Together they worked in gathering clues and evidences of finding solutions and answers they're looking for, despite it won't be easy for them to work on. Sunset Shimmer: What's standing in your way That you can't move today? You've got the strength in you Roadblock, Spirit, Ripcord and a group of strong-armed students worked together in making the pole stand together since it's heavy and strong. Hound joined in by hammering it down gently and softly. However, what shock and surprise them and the rest was Applejack carrying and putting the pole down on the ground. Sunset Shimmer: To make your dreams come true No need to shield yourself From the magic that can help Protect from any harm that might come Rarity, Cutie Mark Crusaders and their younger classmates were painting and designing boxes happily and passionately. The children were having and enjoying painting very much, and they even make a mess at each other. Spotted Derpy was about to fall out from the boat, Rarity quickly summoned and threw her force-field diamond shape-like in saving the student from falling into lake. The children spotted Sandalwoods was about to fall out, but he was held and saved by Crosshairs, who grumbled and muttered in annoyance about the work he's doing. Flare Tiger arrived as she brought couple of trays with various and many foods and cans for everyone to eat and drink as all were taking a break from work. Sunset Shimmer: So you have magic And it's not that great But when it found you You know it was fate Spotting Fluttershy sitting down her seat while wondering about what she can do and missing Terrorcreep a lot, Sunset Shimmer approached as she comforted and motivated the shy one to think and help others. Sunset Shimmer pointed at Arcee and Breakaway putting the signboard on the stand while thinking in adding it. Fluttershy smiled as she has an idea while looking at the vines with flowers. She called the birds in carrying and putting it on signboard. Sunset Shimmer: So if you listen close You might make a new friend And together we can make it! Sunset Shimmer and Flash Sentry witnessed everyone working together as a team in rebuilding, remodeling and beautifying Camp Everfree and even its docks. The camp has become better than before. Sunset Shimmer: I say embrace the magic No more holding back, just let it out If you can take the magic And learn a little more what it can do Once the magic is part of you Both her teams and students gathered and surrounded Sunset Shimmer and Flash Sentry as they witnessed their accomplishment. All of them were proud and happy with it. Sunset Shimmer: Once the magic is part of you Once the magic is part of you Once the magic is part of you Wheelie whistled, "Okay, that was pretty awesome!" Brains chuckled happily, "Magic is so awesome as being Cybertronians!" Sunset Shimmer smiled while looking at her friends and camp, "Look what you managed to accomplish! We did it, not only because of our magic and technology but as the team." The students cheered wildly and happily while four teams chatted happily about their accomplishment. "I hate to admit it," Shorty Thinking remarked in surprise and amazement, "This is actually a good idea you ever come up with, Sunset. No one should ignore or forgotten of who they are and why they're special because it's part of them." He held his hand in front of Sunset Shimmer, "Sorry about yesterday. I was stupid and crazy." Sunset Shimmer smiled as she shook his, "Don't mention it, professor. Everyone makes mistakes." "We still got long way to go to find Black Alpha and the Creator especially our friends and Ultimates," Saber Dragoon said in concern, "We still haven't encrypted the secrets behind the Cybertronian Knights' Dark Prophecy. It might not end well." "Maybe so, but we're doing together as a team," Duke said confidently and firmly. Optimus Prime nodded, "Agreed. All of us will fight and die together as a family and brotherhood, no matter how dire and dangerous the situation is. And I am honor to be with you all." Everyone smiled and nodded in agreement while commented about their leaders' speech about fighting together as one team. "Please, please, please," Rarity pleaded and begging frantically and impatiently, "can we do a run-through for the fashion show on it right this minute?" "Wow, someone's impatient..." Applejack remarked in amusement. "Yeah, weren't you stitching on your poncho?" Sweetie Belle asked curiously. Rarity giggled as she shown her poncho to her friends, "I am now." "And the cure production goes well too," Shorty Thinking commented in amazement while looking at couple crates of Artificial Energon cure. He sighed, "We've made so many of them. We're now prepare for anything." Laxtinct squealed happily as he hugged Shorty Thinking, "I'm so happy! Really happy! I love this camp!" Everyone gave sly and amusing looks at him. He yelped in surprise before departed from hugging the professor, "What?! Because nothing attacks me. That's good enough!" "Get started without me. I've got to go find Twilight." Sunset Shimmer exclaimed happily, "Seeing what we've been able to do here might make her embrace the new magic, too!" Applejack nodded in understanding, "That's a great idea. It's time to show Twilight that there's nothing to be afraid of using magic." Sunset Shimmer nodded in understanding and agreement as she headed off at once. Flash Sentry, Wheelie and Brains followed her at once. They managed to catch up with her as they have their own discussion about today. Flash Sentry patted Sunset Shimmer's shoulder, "Sunset, that was amazing of you. I'm proud of you." "Really" Sunset Shimmer asked in surprise. "Yeah. We're lucky to have someone like you to look out for our friends," Flash Sentry commented. Sunset Shimmer looked surprise and amazed. He nodded, "Yeah. You know, you've changed a lot since we went out. You're so much... nicer. I'm glad you and I got back together." Sunset Shimmer blushed, "Thanks. I'm glad we did." "You know what I'm gonna do next?" Flash Sentry asked in amusement. Sunset Shimmer looked surprise and confuse. He smirked as he grabbed and held her up high, making her screamed and giggled happily. He chuckled a bit, "This! Ready?!" Sunset Shimmer make a soft and gentle growl noise, "I am, handsome." As Flash Sentry held Sunset Shimmer by thighs while having her close to his chest, they have their lips smacks on each other passionately and happily. He then began walking back to the camp. Wheelie and Brains were disgusted by it. "I'd never understand why she liked that jerk," Wheelie remarked dryly, "I don't trust him and his friendly ways. We're her big brothers! We know what is right for her!" Brains scoffed, "Dude, I don't think she cares if we objected it." Wheelie scoffed, "Well, I'm gonna make sure of that! No one messes with Shimmer's Big Brother Wheelie! No bots!" "Don't you mean 'little'?" Brains asked in amusement, causing Wheelie to smack his head. He yelped in pain, "Ouch!" To be Continued... Review and Suggest...
