//------------------------------// // Act 1: Part 1--Bonus 2 // Story: The Land of Equestria Saga Acts 1-5 // by derrick1714 //------------------------------// Unused Series 2 The Land of Equestria Saga Act 1 Part 1 Chapter 8.5 Ch5-8 Uncut Versions  (Well once again we are here, and at this point in time I think it would be best to give you the original basic idea/plot of part 1.) “In a land where Ponies live and talk, our twisted Dummy joins them. Can they learn the truth before he takes control or will all of Equestria become his puppets.” (Season 1-5 only, season 6 isn't here, MLP) (As you can see it was just the idea, the actual planning came about as the chapters were named. Each one either giving a hint or telling exactly what was to happen. However even with those the actual story was going to be made, as it went. Remember that there are even more foes to come soon, I don't even know how I'm going to get Act 3 to work or if it'll just be scraped and a new act 3 planned. Either way first the dummy, then the businessman, then the A.S.I, then the Timekeeper along with two other foes in the same Act as the Timekeeper.Then the final Acts greatest foe, which’ll change the game entirely. Soon……) Chapter 5_Starlight’s Realization Part 1 When Starlight arrived she was told they were all at Twilight's Castle, Starlight then realized that Slappy got her out of the way. Though why was a mystery,since he showed up he has been creepy and villainy. Starlight then remembered what he said "I Thought you needed a friend, turns out you need a cult." Starlight thought back and knew Slappy was too far away from the page to know about that, and that page also had Starlight's Equal Spell.Starlight ran to the carriage, for she knew her timing needed to be excellent or things wouldn't end well. So as she boarded her flight, she wondered what this mysterious dummy wanted and why he felt so dark and creepy. Celestia, Luna, Cadence and Discord were shot by a bolt. Discord remained the same, while the three Alicorn princesses became gray and lost their cutie marks to a picture of Slappy's face. Discord made a joke, and then realized that Twilight and her friends were in danger. Discord turned to Slappy with a mischievous smile and said "Bravo Slappy, but I don't have a cutie mark. Also I'll be taking the elements with me." Discord snapped his fingers and The Mane 6 was all inside a bubble including Spike; Slappy pointed his wand and said "This has been a lot of fun, but I won't allow you to mess up my puppets."Slappy fired a magic shot that went straight through and popped the bubble. Slappy giggled and said "Your move Discord." Before Discord could do anything Rainbow Dash and Applejack were hit, by the time Discord poofed everyone away with a cloud of cotton candy only him and Spike stood strong.Spike looked ready to cry but held it back, "Discord there has to be something we can do?" Discord scratched his head and pulled a meat cooker out of his nose; Discord placed it in The Mane 6's ears and said "Well this doesn't look good." Meanwhile Starlight returned to the throne room of Princess Twilight, and saw Celestia,Luna and Cadence on the floor. Though what sent her crashing down was the grey color and the cutie mark shaped like Slappy's head, she crumbed into a heap and started to mutter "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." Over and over again;Slappy came from behind Twilight's chair and pointed his wand at Starlight,Starlight looked up to a laughing Slappy and saw the beam of magic. When it hither it fazed through, Slappy did a double take and laughed. Starlight got up on all four hooves and said through sobs "That spell was designed by me, and because of that I'm safe even though you've modified the equal sign to be your head instead", Slappy straightened his suit and lunged for Starlight.Starlight quickly ran, and shot magic at Slappy only to see his wand deflect it. Then Starlight fell, Slappy stopped and looked around. He then proceeded to laugh, and when he got back to the throne room the 3 princess were up. Celestia spoke first "You may have our magic but not our free wills." The other 2 agreed and were shocked when Slappy laughed and said "Starlight’s spell makes others equal, but I added something extra the mark of the dummy.All I have to do is activate it and you'll be my puppet slaves, your minds will still be yours but your bodies will be all mine." Slappy pointed his wand and said "From Puppeteer to Puppet, now your wills belong to me hahaha." The wand glowed green and then their cutie marks glowed green,then strings flew from the sky with no apparent beginning and curled around their bodies. First their heads then their legs, their tails and body were next. When the strings stopped they became invisible, and Slappy looked at the princesses and said "Its time this kingdom of ponies gains a king, and for me to finally have slaves hahahahaha." Celestia, Luna and Cadence looked on with worry, while Slappy continued to Laugh. Starlight fell and then found she was staring at a grey Twilight, when she saw Slappy's face on her hip she knew it was too late. Discord coughed and said "Well I knew I smelled a pony their" to which Spike growled "You did this!"...... Chapter 6_The Dummy Alicorns Part 2 Spike growled "This is all you fault, if you hadn't created or at least hadn't written that spell in your diary Twilight and everyone would be okay. She got the remote, she freed the magic and when we thought we had won. Slappy pulled out his wand, gloated and fired." by the time Spike finished he was in tears and crying. Starlight backed up and through a sob said "I'm sorry Spike, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean for my past to creep into the future, I knew that dummy was trouble but Twilight was busy and when she returned she thought I was having a nightmare. When Slappy returned from Canterlot he lied to me and told me Nightmare Moon was back, I fell for it and wasn't there when Slappy attacked.". Now Starlight was crying and continued "By the time I realized his deceit I was too far away, I hurried back and found Celestia, Luna and Cadence on the floor grey. It was like my nightmares had come true, my two greatest mistakes was the town and ruining time and Slappy brought my town mistake back. He tried to use the wand but my spell was made to not work on me,he then tried to lunge at me and I was running from him when you two brought me here." By the time Starlight had finished Discord had blown his nose enough to make the Leaning Tower out of tissues. Then all of a sudden a head appeared over all of Equestria, Celestia said she was grey because she was sick and told the citizens to come to Canterlot for the royal crowning of the new king.All throughout Equestria ponies were mumbling and wondering what was going on,while inside the cave The Mane 6 awoke and strings came out of nowhere and attached to them. They all spoke as one "Thought you were smart didn't you Discord, well I'm the one pulling the strings literally. Now you, Spike, and Starlight are to surrender or all of Equestria will become my puppets, hahaha" The Mane 6 then disappeared along with their strings. Spike looked at Discord who plucked a piece of Rarity's mane out of nowhere and tossed it to Spike, who got fell into a look of puppy dog love. Until he realized where he was, and who he was with; Starlight looked down from the cave and said "We have to do something, they're all heading for the trap and if we don't do something all of Equestria will turn into puppets. Discord laughed and pulled a zipper down out of nowhere revealing his pocket dimension inside Equestria that had all kinds of chaotic things, he turned back and said "I have every confidence you'll win, bye StarkHeight and Spiker." Before Discord could zip it shut Starlight said "What about Fluttershy, she's counting on you to help.You're her friend, and you do love her don't you?" Starlight and Spike smiled a sweet innocent smile. Discord stepped out of the portal, zipped its hut and walked over to them. Discord then made a white glove appear and slapped them, then said "Let's get this over with I have a tea time with Flutters at 3 tomorrow. When the sun rose from the sky everyone was waiting in the chapel to see their new king, meanwhile Discord, Spike and Starlight were heading for the throne room.When they got their Twilight, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Rarity and Pinkie Pie were waiting. They had creepy smiles on their faces, but their eyes were crying. Starlight told Spike and Discord to "Be careful, their bodies belong to Slappy but their minds don't. The eyes are a gateway to the soul,they've been crying because that's all they can do. Discord looked up and saw a shadow with 6 arms, and in the arms were puppet strings. Spike and Starlight looked up too, and realized that the shadow is the puppeteer today. Twilight pointed to a screen, and Celestia was seen addressing the crowd of ponies. Celestia spoke while crying "Today we welcome are one true ruler, a being called a man from another dimension but is also a ventriloquist dummy."All the ponies started laughing thinking it was a joke, but when a creepy giggle started to go through the room. Everyone began to feel afraid...... Chapter 7_The Equestria Puppets Everyone looked around, and then Celestia moved over to the wall with the other princesses except Twilight. The curtain moved and in a chair sat a ventriloquist dummy, everyone stared at it and one person called out"What's the dummy got to do with a king?" The Dummy slowly rose and opened his eyes, he looked at the ponies and said "Who you calling Dummy,Dummy Hahahahaha." The ponies yelped in fear, and those that don't began to wonder why it wasn't glowing with magic. The dummy hopped off his chair, and addressed his ponies "Hello slaves, names Slappy but you can call me The Puppeteer of Equestria." Ponies began to stand and head for the doors, but Slappy wasn't done. He pulled a wand with a green tip out of his suit and fired at the pony closest to the doors, the pony instantly turned grey and his cutie mark became that of Slappy. Strings from above flew towards him, and turned him into a living puppet. He was then floated over to Celestia, Luna and Cadence and pulled off their stickers revealing their Slappy Cutie Marks. Everyone gasped, and those who were standing galloped to their seats. Slappy giggled a chilling giggle and said "As you can see I'm the one pulling the strings,now it's time for the grand event." Slappy pointed his wand to the chandelier and fired, within moments everyone inside the castle were puppets. Slappy turned to the camera and said "For those that couldn't come today,I'm sending my puppets for you hahaha. Oh and Discord, Spike and Starlight you never stood a chance hahahahahahaha." Everyone watching gasped, and started piling stuff in front of the doors; while Discord, Spike and Starlight all looked on in horror. Twilight turned the screen off, and all the mane 6 ran at Discord, Spike and Starlight.Discord made scissors appear, and snapped the Mane 6's cords. Before Twilight drifted into unconsciousness she said "A man is coming, a man with a book.The key to defeating Slappy is 2 days away, the book is coming. Save Doji,please save the book." With the final word, Twilight joined her friends in unconsciousness. Discord snapped his fingers and a portal opened Starlight and Spike looked though to see sweet apple acres, Discord pushed them through and said "I'm staying to confront the dummy, save the man named Doji when he comes." Then they were gone, Discord closed the portal and Slappy flashed inside the room. "Hello Discord, what did you think of my chaos felt good right?" Slappy giggled his creepy giggle and stopped when Discord started laughing, Discord wiped a tear away and said "Your weakness is coming dummy, the words your saying will be nothing but pages in a book soon. Slappy stood with his jaw open, then pressed a button on the Celestia's throne and as Discord fell to a room where his magic was useless Slappy said"Impossible, I burned it when I broke free. I ended up here when my plans failed and Doji bested me over in my dimension, but I suppose I shouldn't underestimate Spike and Starlight. Well bye Discord hahahahaha." Slappy hopped in his seat and looked down at the mane 6; he then used his wand to make new strings appear. As the mane 6 rise, Slappy laughs. Spike and Starlight could only watch as the portal closed, and head Slappy's giggle.Spike looked at the barn and said "Come on we need shelter, it's only a matter of time before Slappy send ponies after us." Starlight nodded an agreement, and thought back to what Twilight said "Save Doji, please save the book." As Spike went to sleep Starlight cast a spell to lock the barn, Starlight then went to sleep and before sleep overtook her she thought one word. "Doji" that one word gave her hope, and Starlight knew the future could be saved. Only one day till Doji's supposed arrival, one day to hide before all madness breaks loose. Starlight was then overtaken by sleep,and dreamed a dream about her two greatest blunders and also her most recent third mistake.   Slappy was heading for the crystal dungeons, with a smile... Chapter 8_Epilogue/The Dungeons Glow Slappy road Candace to the crystal dungeons, and arrived at Shining Armor's cell; the husband to Cadence, and the sister to Twilight. Instead of turning him into a weak puppet, he did something worse. Slappy locked him away so he could see just how much stronger Slappy was, so he could watch his loved ones become Slappy's slaves. Slappy stopped in front of Shining's cell, and said "Hello dummy, are you broken yet?" Shining growled "No you psychotic,manipulative, dark magic infused ventriloquist dummy. I'll die before I let you break me, my sister will defeat you." Slappy called out and Twilight appeared just like Cadence, Shining choked out a sob and said "When I break free you'll be thrown into a wood chipper, and burned until you're nothing but ashes. Slappy then proceeded to enter Shining's cell, and had a fireplace and wood chipper placed. Slappy then had the celled locked and unshackled Shining, Slappy whispered into his ear "Go ahead and try." Shining kicked Slappy into the wood chipper and watches as his wood pieces were thrown into the fire, but slowly black goo came out of the fire and reformed into Slappy on the other side of the cell. Shining's iron spirit broke; he crumbled to the ground with the realization that Equestria was doomed. Slappy left all the while giggling madly, and when he was gone Discord spoke up from his cell.  "Shining Twilight told me, Spike and Starlight something before she was lost. She had a vision that a man named Doji would come with a book, a book that could defeat Slappy. I sent Spike and Starlight away so they could find the man and save the day, all hope isn't lost yet." Discord then laid down and went to sleep, while Shining eyes glowed with new resolve. Before Shining laid down to rest he whispered under his breath "You may have won the battle Slappy, but you haven't won the war." Starlight and Spike had to leave the barn after puppet ponies started to break inside,but once they got to Twilight's Castle the castle repelled The Puppet Ponies.With the day almost over Starlight and Spike prepared the rift area, and waited for the man named Doji. Once night fell Spike fell asleep, then Starlight.After an hour the rift pulsed, and started to close and with it the only hope for Equestria. Coming soon The Play Unused Series 2 The Land of Equestria Part 2 of 2 Will Doji make it out before the rift fully closes? Will the book Doji has be able to trap Slappy? Will the cutie marks be able to return? Find out these questions and more as the story continues with the 2 part story soon… (Now that I look back, I see just how horrible the original short versions were. However these are not the final products, these are bonus ““clips””. So anyway my bonus note ends here, with saying this is a fanfiction, and while the characters you know may act differently, it's right in this universe crossover/fanfiction thing. Part 1 officially ends, and while the name has changed as well as the overall arc I hope you enjoy it. Because as I said in my bio we’ll go full circle soon enough...)
