ACT FIFTEEN
The dragon growled as it approached the helpless victims, its teeth were drooling most horrifically.
Poor Twilight and Spike were the only ones safe on the other side of the rock-formations, but were completely helpless to save their friends. The locket-device wasn’t even nearly ready!
Rarity began to whine and cry, “I can’t die now! I’m too beautiful!”
Despite the circumstances, Applejack was horribly annoyed with Rarity’s screaming, “Is it over yet?” she groaned.
Pinkie reached into her pocket, pulling out a cupcake, “I was saving you for something special.” she said to it, and then hastily gobbled it down as her last meal! “Mmm… tasty…”
“Ah, man… this is so not the way I imagined it’d end for me.” Flash said, “And I never got to say to Princess Twilight that I… I…”
While he was pondering and everyone else concerned about the danger they were in, Rainbow suddenly felt inside her pocket, “The dog-whistle?” she remembered pocketing it and Garfield’s shades while escaping the zeppelin.
She narrowed her eyes and stepped forth, “Hope this works!”
“What are you doing?” asked Celestia. That’s when Rainbow took such a huge and deep breath and blew into the whistle as hard as she could.
The dragon lifted its head and roared painfully…
…Spike covered his ears and howled from the unbearable noise!
“It’s workin’!” cried Applejack “He must have super heain’! He can’t stand the noise!”
Rainbow blew and blew until she was red in the face before she let go and was panting stressfully to regain her breath.
The dragon was angrier than ever and prepared to attack again, but Pinkie snatched the whistle and blew hard into it again, annoying the beast!
“Here’s our chance!” cried Sunset “…Run!”
The gang managed to run past the dragon to safety while he was still distracted in annoyance, but in its gropes it swung its tail hard, Pinkie fell over and accidently threw the whistle into the lake where it sank to the bottom.
“Oh, no! Not good!” she cried.
The dragon roared angrily at everyone.
“DEFINITELY NOT GOOD…!!”
The dragon flew up high and aimed another powerful blast, “Watch out!” shouted Celestia, and the teens all jumped out of the way as the blast hit, opening yet another rift, and unleashing more Equestrian plant monsters that got stuck in the narrow holes, leaving less space to run to than before!
“They can’t last much longer!” cried Spike
“I’m working as fast as I can!” snapped Twilight.
“It’s not going to be fast enough!”
Fluttershy suddenly tripped on a fallen long and fell to the ground, and the dragon loomed over at her.
“FLUTTERSHY!!” shouted Sunset, and she rushed over to help her, but the dragon swung his tail, just barely missing her, but the force knocked hard into several of the girls.
Fluttershy looked up at the snarling dragon, was so frightened that she couldn’t even scream, but just when she thought she’d had it…!
A whole load of bright lights shone on the dragon; right its eyes blinding him softly.
Everyone turned and saw none other than the Murakami students. “You didn’t forget about us, did you?” Dick playfully asked. He and the others weren’t alone either, standing behind them were a whole squad of people from Jump City, including the police!
They had all seen the zeppelin go down over the outback, and they all saw the dragon as well--much to their disbelief-- and they felt there was danger involved. So everyone rallied together, and now, here they all were… especially the Murakamis, ready to help their friends!
“Most excellent timing!” said Applejack “Now we got us a whole army!”
More lights were shone at the dragon’s face by all the cars and big search lights people had brought with them, blinding the dragon further and it growled most mournfully
The police had already lined up with powerful guns and bazookas, “Ready men…?” the Captain called.
“No, stop!” shouted Sunset “You can’t kill him, that dragon is Garfield!”
Terra’s stomach churned, “…Garfield?!”
“Say what?!” snapped Vic.
“Hold your fire!” shouted the Captain, and his men lowered their arms, “Will somebody explain to me what’s going on here?”
Even the citizens of Jump city wished to know the answer, especially when the planet monsters finally managed to stretch the rifts wider and slither their way into the world, frightening everyone into running about.
“Oh, brother!” groaned Applejack. Not that she could blame the people anyway, but still, “So much for our army, but at least we got Garfield stopped.”
The poor blinded dragon couldn’t stand the bright lights in its face, and just stood where it was, stunned and groaning softly.
“Oh, the poor thing…” said Fluttershy, and she couldn’t believe she just said that.
Suddenly, one of the big search lights shining on the dragon was shot out by a bullet.
“What was that?” snapped Flash. That’s when more lights were shot out.
“The lights!” cried the police Captain “Who’s doing this?!”
No one could see out anywhere in there darkness-- the Ambers and the Dionnes, survived the crash of their chopper, and followed the dragon that had all the magic within him to the dark lands. They were standing high atop the large tower on the lands away from the crowds where no one would see them because of the darkness-- here they shot out the lights from afar with snippers.
“Perfect shot!” hissed Jason.
“Okay, Dad; remind me what we’re doing again?” asked Jackie. Her father sighed, “I already explained to you, by blowing out those lights, the dragon will run amuck again, hopefully frightening all the people away, and by then, hopefully he’ll be tired out so we can capture him and once again extract the magic for ourselves, and even if he kills everyone out there… it doesn’t matter!
Do I need to tell you again, or do you want it in writing?!”
“Take it easy, dear.” said Janene “Just keep shooting the lights.”
“Their almost out…” Joseph said as he held up his snipper, and shot out the last light.
The dragon was free from the brightness, and spread hos its wings, roaring loudly as thunder crashed!
“Arm yourselves men!” shouted the Captain.
“No, you can’t!” cried Dick.
“It’s okay…!” one of the cops called back, “We’ve reloaded with knockout gas… Get clear!”
Everyone began to run south, away from the dragon. Once everyone was clear, the cops fired the capsules from their bazookas, releasing powerful capsules that burst and released clouds of knockout gas all around the dragon until it was completely enveloped in the smoke.
All then went silent! Everything was totally quiet except for the sounds of the thunder and the eerie winds.
“Did it work?” asked Raven.
“Hard to say…” replied Kato.
There was still not a sound, not even a big thud to let them know the dragon collapsed.
Twilight and Spike looked up from the rock formation that they hid behind. “Do you think they got him?” asked Twilight.
Spike couldn’t tell, until he lifted his ears, and could hear the soft, unmistakable growling! “GET AWAY FROM THERE!!!” he shouted at everyone!
Much as most of the citizens were surprised to hear a dog shouting actual words, the dragon let out a huge roar, leaping high up out from the fading smoke clouds, and flew up high!
“I don’t believe it!” shouted Rainbow “There must’ve been enough gas to knock out an army of men.”
“An army of men, maybe…” said Terra “But a huge hulking dragon like that-- not nearly enough!”
The dragon opened his huge mouth ready to unleash another series of blasts.
“LOOK OUT!!” Dick shouted, and everybody ran about as the dragon unleashed a hoard of blasts. Striking the lake water… blasting away the forest, forcing the wolves to flee the lands forever!
Several more blasts were fired, and more plant monsters began to appear within newly opened rifts, and one of them grabbed Kori by her ankles and held her up, upside down!
“Kori!” shouted Dick.
“HELP ME!!” Kori screamed. Dick furiously ran up to the plant monster, grabbing a thick solid branch on the way. “Let her go!” he snarled as he began to strike the vines hard, “Put her down!”
The monster snarled at Dick and lunged at him, forcing him to run about to avoid getting hit.
“Dick!!” cried Kori.
Vic motioned to Dick to run to him, “Yo’ man… over here!” but more vines came at him forcing him to run the opposite way.
Vic wasn’t about to let some vine creature get his friends, and he looked back at his car and got an idea, but it pained him to actually do it. “Get ready to catch her!” he called to Dick.
“Wait! What are you doing?!” Rainbow called to him, but she and the others could already see as Vic started the engine and revved hard on the gas, “YEEEEEE-HOOOO…!!!”
“VIC!!” Dick shouted as he watched the car zoom straight at the monster huge stem-like body. As he got closer, he stroked the car’s dashboard, “Sorry about this baby… I’ll miss ya…!” and he quickly leapt out the door, rolling along the ground, and his car SLAMMED hard into the beast.
The monster growled and roared painfully and keeled over, letting go of Kori causing her to fall!
“KORI!!” dick shouted as he dashed forth and caught her in his arms, falling to the ground.
“He got her!” cheered Pinkie.
“I think we can see that.” groaned Raven.
Poor Vic could only look grimly at his smashed ride, his baby…! It really hurt him, but he knew he could rebuild her.
“Kori… are you alright?” Dick asked softly. Kori softly looked up at him and smiled lovingly “Yeah… thanks, Dick.” They were lost in each other’s eyes, and their faces softly moved in closer, only for another plant monster to lunge for them, ruining the moment again. “AH, COME ON!!” cried Dick.
He and Kori ran for it, only to run right into the dragon who roared at them viciously!
The villains watched anxiously from the tower, “Yes… I think he’s finally going to get them!” cried Jamie.
Jillian suddenly realized that Dick and Kori and the dragon were standing at in a straight line away from the tower where they all stood. “Um… I don’t mean to be a downer, but… what if he hits us?!”
All of them gasped at such a thought.
“Um… maybe we should get down?” suggested Jackie.
“Yes… that’s a good idea.” her father said with a hint of panic in his voice.
The dragon prepared to fire another blast at Kori and Dick, but Sunset and Celestia rushed over and knocked them out of the way just as the dragon fired and hit the base of the tower causing it to crumple.
“Oh, no…!” cried Janene.
The tower was beginning to teeter over.
“Hang on everyone!” shouted Joseph as the tower fell over and crashed into a pile of rubble.
“Hey look!” cried Fluttershy.
The villains, having miraculous survived the crash, all crawled up from the wreckage, their clothes all tattered, and they were all bruised and covered in dirt.
“Where did they come from?” the police captain wondered.
The villains, finally having had enough and unable to deal with any more stress and life-threatening risks on themselves, in an act of total instantly, they begged for the police to arrest them all, even confessing that they all were responsible for the chaos and messes.
Despite the confusion, the police complied and arrested all six of them, throwing them into the cruisers.
“I can’t believe it!” cried Terra “All this time, Jackie and Jillian were plotting against us?!” No doubt, her friendship with them was through, but that still didn’t change the current chaos!
Another rift was opened and more plant-monsters had emerged. There was pretty much almost no place to run to avoid peril from the beasts.
“I got it fixed!” Twilight suddenly shouted, holding up a newly refined device.
“Awesome!” cried Rainbow “We can get our magic back now.”
“Um… I don’t think it’ll be that easy.” said Vic, and he noted how the dragon kept flying around and falling so hard. Somehow it had to be held still long enough for Twilight to get a clear shot, especially with all the plant-monsters around as well!
“Hey, that’s it!” cried Pinkie “maybe we can try to get the plants to ensnare Garfield in the vines. That’ll hold him steady… or it might just makes things worse.”
“It’s risky, but it just may work.” said Dick.
Sunset agreed, and then called to all the people who came, and she explained the plan, “…I know it sounds risky, but it may just help.”
You can bet, most of the people thought she was crazy!
“Forget it!”
“Yeah, I’m outta here.”
“I don’t even know why we bothered to come in the first place.”
Celestia then spoke up, “Listen to us!” she snapped “If you run away, what then? The monsters will just chase you, and they’ll continue spreading chaos and fear everywhere unless you help us here and now!”
Unable to agree with that, the people agree and set the plan into action…!
While the Equestrians and the Murakamis distracted the dragon, making it chase them around, the people of Jump City spread out in groups to get the plant-monsters to chase after them, and lead them all into one place, dead in the center of the field!
“Okay, let’s do it!” shouted Sunset. Her friends all agreed and teased the dragon into chasing them to the center of the field.
“Down!” shouted Sunset and everyone hit the dirt hard so the dragon flew right over them and straight into the gaggle of plant-monsters. The snarling beasts wrapped their vines round the dragon’s wrists, ankles and neck, practically trying to strangle it.
The dragon roared as it struggled to break free. It looked so tragic all bound up like that, the Equestrians and the Murakamis almost hated to see it, feeling Garfield was struggling to break free just like he had struggled all his life, through all the pain and horrid things he had to endure.
“Garfield!” Terra peeped.
Sunset then called out, “NOW, TWILIGHT!!”
“Here goes!” shouted Twilight and she opened the device which glowed brightly and fired a beam towards the dragon, enveloping it in a bright flash.
The plant creatures were frightened by the light and hastily retreated back into the rifts from whence they came…!
The dragon roared loudly as it felt itself getting weaker, and its massive body began to shrink as the magic was drained in a spectrum wave that went into Twilight’s device.
Finally, Garfield appeared in his normal form and collapsed on the ground.
“Garfield…!” Terra cried as she dashed over to him. “Hey, wait up!” said dick as he and the others dashed over with her to the fallen boy.
As for the Equestria girls; Twilight then aimed the device at her six friends, “Here you go guys!” and she gave them all their magic back in form of six colored beams of light that enveloped them in bright flashes.
Terra scooped him up in her arms, “Garfield…? Please be okay!”
“Come on, man. Wake up!” cried Vic.
Even the goths were hoping he was alright.
Garfield suddenly began to awake. He felt very woozy, like a herd of elephants had walked all over him. “What’s going on? Where am I?” he groaned, and as his vision cleared he saw the Murakamis looked down at him, “What are you all doing here?” he asked “The last thing I remember… I was on the zeppelin… and I got shot… and then…!” Before he could continue… a bright flash caught his attention, and the awe of everyone else!
Rarity… Rainbow… Fluttershy… Pinkie… Applejack, were levitating in midair, with pony ears, real pony tails, and wings, and all enveloped in colored glows.
In the middle was Sunset, in her shining form, and she glowed with a white and gold light.
The Murakamis were just like everyone else; completely speechless, even Garfield couldn’t deny what he was seeing, despite still feeling a bit woozy from his ordeal. “…I don’t believe it!”
“Now, my friends…” Sunset called to the girls, “Let’s seal up those rifts, and end this nightmare.”
The girls all nodded in agreement, and the five of them held hands, forming a ring around Sunset, and homed in on all the positive thoughts they could think.
“Powers of friendship… unite your magic!” shouted Sunset, and one by one, the other five shouted out their elements.
Rarity: “Generosity!”
Rainbow: “Loyalty!”
Fluttershy: “Kindness!”
Pinkie: “Laughter!”
Applejack: “Honesty!”
The girls began to move in circles around Sunset, giving her their magic, and Sunset flew up, up, up, and unleashed a mighty wave of brightness, that swept across the land, closing all the rifts, and in the midst of it all… the storm clouds actually began to lift letting the sunlight in on the lands for the first time ever!
Garfield could not believe anything he was seeing, but it was all there. “It’s… It’s real!”
