My Little Pony Mystic Season 2

by Shadow Master


Episode 18: Shadow Six

In nighttime, ponies were resting and sleeping peacefully and soundly at Ponyville Town. Nothing could ruin their night.

BOOM! Ponyville Bank was engulfing in flames while structure began falling down. Ponyville Fire Fighters have arrived at the scene. They all began pouring and spraying water on the blazing fire of building.

Sunset Shimmer and Starlight Glimmer arrived to the scene as they witnessed a devastating and blazing destruction of Ponyville Bank. They both looked worry and scared.

"Oh no. Not again," Sunset Shimmer said in concern, "This is the tenth time they strike..."

Starlight Glimmer hummed in concern, "Knowing Amon's Dark Lord, he will send another group to attack us again when Princess Twilight and her friends or even Dragon Strike Force weren't around to protect it."

Sunset Shimmer nodded, "Yeah. And this time, we won't able to hold it much longer."

"We have to do something but how?"

"I wish I knew. I wish..."

Starlight Glimmer sighed, "Right now. We've gotta help those ponies now."

Sunset Shimmer nodded in understanding, "Yeah. We'll think about the ideas tomorrow morning. And hopefully, we get it done earlier. I didn't get a good sleep lately."

Starlight Glimmer groaned, "Tell me something I don't know."

Sunset Shimmer and Starlight Glimmer headed off and helped the ponies in dealing with the fire of Ponyville Bank while rescuing ponies from danger. Unknown to them, a familiar demonic fox-hybrid pony standing and leaning against the alley's walls. She smirked amusingly. She then vanished in thin air...


At the Dark Laboratory, Guildenstern was researching, performing various experiments and even inventing his inventions for several projects and army. He then sensed something or someone was contacting him. He turned and summoned the portal communicator out. He found Trickster Fox appeared before him.

"Ah... Trickster Fox, it's been a while," Guildenstern greeted amusingly.

Trickster Fox giggled, "Indeed, it is, Skullface. And guess what?" She smiled and laughed evilly and amusingly, "Another raid success. Ponies are cowering in fear and quivered in their pants now! And soon, Ponyville Town will be easy to take over."

Guildenstern chuckled proudly, "Without Mane Six and Dragon Strike Force, Ponyville Town will be defenseless to fight back. Even they have some small army, it won't be enough to fight us off. Our test"

Trickster Fox nodded, "Exactly. And plus, I could take care of that traitor for good."

" Yes. We should." Guildenstern snarled in concern, "I'm sending Skullcrusher, MechaInfinite and Spiritshadow to assist us. As for you, my little fox friend, observe and find out of what the little ponies up to. If their plans proved to be serious threat to us, get rid of both Sunset and Starlight."

"Of course. But I highly doubt they can do anything to stop us," Trickster Fox said proudly and amusingly, "especially me and little Himiko feeding the information to you all. And don't worry, I'll get the job done."

With the conversation ended, Trickster Fox's portal disappeared. Guildenstern scoffed as he turned and returned to his scientific works.

"Let us hope so. The sooner the better if we want to achieve our objectives..."


In the morning, both Sunset Shimmer and Starlight Glimmer were gathered at the library. They both not only drinking their juices, but also having discussion due to them receiving more complain and demanding letters from Ponyville Town. And not to mention, they really didn't get a goodnight sleep.

Spike hummed happily as he arrived and entered the scene as he brought another set of complain letters. He then spotted the pile of letters on table.

"Another complain letters?" Spike asked in annoyance. Both Starlight Glimmer and Sunset Shimmer nodded in agreement. He groaned, "I hate those Dark Mystic Ponies."

Sunset Shimmer groaned, "Tell me something I don't know." She huffed angrily, "This has gone too far! We have to fight back. We can't let them bully us and take everything they want."

Starlight Glimmer hummed in concern, "Yeah. You're right. But how? We're nothing like Mane Six, Dragon Strike Force or even Team Fighters."

"I know. But we've gotta do something. And we need a team. We don't need the best one. We just need them to be good as others."

"Good point. And it won't be easy either. So, where do we start?"

"How about Military Training Ground?" Spike suggested optimistically, "That place got tons of recruits. Some of them gotta be awesome and strong as others."

Sunset Shimmer hummed, "That's a good idea. We might find some good fighters to help us out."

"Uh, nope. I tried. Most of them are rookies and inexperienced in fighting. Should we add Trixie and Discord in?" Starlight Glimmer asked, "She's a good friend of mine."

Spike scoffed as he remarked sarcastically, "Oh yeah, sure. Let her join the team. The only thing she's good at is panic and run like a chicken."

Starlight Glimmer looked disbelief. Sunset Shimmer sighed, "Spike's right. I read some old newspaper that Trixie didn't even faced the Ursa Minor when she claimed that she did it once. And turns out, she was a fraud."

Starlight Glimmer groaned, "I get it. She's not good in the team. So, what now?"

"One thing I learn from my home," Sunset Shimmer said proudly as she stood up from her seats. She turned and looked at entrance, "Get some ponies audition for talent shows."

"Talent show? Really?" Spike asked dryly.

Starlight Glimmer nodded uneasily, "Yeah. What's talent show gotta do with finding a team?"

Sunset Shimmer smiled, "Trust me. I know what I'm doing. Come on. We've got work to do."

Sunset Shimmer headed off at once. Starlight Glimmer and Spike looked at each other dumbfounded and surprised. Nevertheless, they followed her now.


At the Ponyville Central Park, Sunset Shimmer and her friends set a small stage and a large poster. They then began calling out for ponies to audition and perform their talents for the show. They even gave some flyers to some ponies. And just as they had hope for, more ponies joined and auditioned for performing their talents.

Sunset Shimmer and her two friends sat down on their table, which was set before the stage. They will judge and choose the best ponies for their team.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as they plan. They found some ponies have proven untalented and ineffective as their performances are terrible, unusual and weird such as Derpy was playing her saw musical, Dr. Whooves performed a failure experiment, Lyra Heartstrings and Bon-Bon were too competitive and have a big fight with each other, Filthy Rich explained about his business plan, The Flower Trio screamed fearfully when their plants were in big mess, and not even Bulk Biceps, who is afraid of a mouse.

This does not bode well for them now...


Sunset Shimmer, Starlight Glimmer and Spike were taking a big break at the cafe. They all were drinking sodas, crispy hays and even salad sandwiches.

Spike sighed, "Guess the plan didn't work as we hope for?"

Sunset Shimmer groaned while putting her head down on mushroom table, "Tell me something that I don't know already."

"So, what's next?" Starlight Glimmer asked in concern, "Back to drawing board?"

"Back to drawing board," Sunset Shimmer said in agreement and concern. She took a sip of her soda. She then sighed in defeat, "I'd never thought that finding some talented ponies could be so hard."

Starlight Glimmer shrugged, "What do you expect from this peaceful town, being defended and protected by Princess Twilight Sparkle and her friends for so many times?"

"Good point..." Spike admitted in defeat, "They're always here and saved the day. Wish they could be here, instead of doing business and mission. We could really use their help now..."

Sunset Shimmer sighed, "Me too, Spike... At this rate, Ponyville Town is gonna be invaded sooner or later. And we're hopeless to stop them."

"Somepony, help!" Lucky Clover called upon entering the cafe. He panted heavily, "Akurmashi Monsters are coming here from the sky!"

Sunset Shimmer and her friends looked at each other. They all nodded firmly. Sunset Shimmer and Starlight Glimmer dropped some bits behind for paying their lunch. The ponies and their dragon headed off at once.


Sunset Shimmer and her friends headed to Ponyville Town's outskirt, where they were ready to fight against the invaders. But instead, they found a familiar Pegasus fighting and attacking the Akurmashi Warriors on sky, which was led by a skeletal Pegasus worn a strong Samurai General's armor - Skullcrusher.

And to the ponies' surprise, Indigo Zap easily knocked and defeated the Akurmashi Demon Soldiers one-by-one, thanks to both her speed and using her Naginata. With the minions have been dealt with, she turned and glared at the skeletal general and his remaining minions.

Skullcrusher snarled, "Damn you! You dare stand in our way?!"

"Come on! Is that all you've got?" Indigo Zap arrogantly taunted, "I'm not done yet! Indigo Zap is gonna zapped you all!"

Skullcrusher hissed, "You'll pay for your insolence!"

"Bring it on, bonehead," Indigo Zap taunted amusingly, "My Thunder Blade is gonna kick your ass!"

Skullcrusher roared wildly and angrily as he led his army charge and attack Indigo Zap. Smirk at her targets coming at her, she charged at them in high speed. She swung her Thunder Blade Naginata in knocking and defeating them one-by-one. She has defeated the minions at ease.

Indigo Zap then engaged with Skullcrusher, who raised and swung his strong heavy broadsword at her. But instead, she dodged the attack and flying to the back. She swung her blade in wounding his back. This caused him to turn and swung his sword at her but missed and hit on his back twice. They both have been doing this for five rounds. As she was about to hit another attack by back, he turned and grabbed her by neck.

"You will not get away easily, fool!" Skullcrusher snarled in anger.

Indigo Zap scoffed, "Think again! And feel the Zap!"

Indigo Zap then gave multiple kicks on his chest before kicked him off. Skullcrusher roared in anger as his broadsword glowed darkly yet blazing fire. He gave a powerful swing of his blade - unleashing a dark blazing fire boomerang-like beam at her. As the attack was close to her, she dodged the attack while charged up her Thunder Blade Naginata. She threw it at Skullcrusher's head off his body.

Falling down on midair, Skullcrusher's Head screeched in anger, "I hate it when fools did that!"

Skullcrusher's body went down and followed his head. Upon grabbing his head and put it together, he slammed hard on the ground, causing his skeletal bodies broke into pieces.

Skullcrusher groaned as he put his pieces together, "But I really hate this the most!"

Indigo Zap scoffed and snickered, "Oh yeah! Zap - One, Skeleton Monster gets Zero. Now, that's what I call - a good warm up!" She smiled as she has Thunder Blade Naginata disappeared, "Time to get back to my training if I wanna be a Wonderbolt and beat Rainbow Dash!"

As Indigo Zap flew off, Sunset Shimmer and her friends were amaze and surprise by the event. Suddenly, a group of flying Akurmashi Soldiers flying straight to them in ready to attack. And just before they could do, Indigo Zap flew straight straight and unleashed her Raiding Charge in defeating them at ease. And as she was flying away, Indigo Zap winked and saluted to them.

"Wow. Did you see that?" Sunset Shimmer asked in surprise. Starlight Glimmer and Spike nodded. She cheered, "Oh yeah! We've found our first member! Who is she?"

"That's Indigo Zap. And according to Rainbow Dash, Zap's Blazefist's kid and her fan and rival," Spike explained, "Gotta hand it. She got speed and guts as Rainbow Dash."

Starlight Glimmer nodded, "Yeah, she is."

SCREAM! BOOM! Sunset Shimmer and her friends heard the noise as it came from their hometown. They turned and headed back at once. And at the same time, Skullcrusher struggled putting and piecing his bones together.


Sunset Shimmer and her friends made their way back to Ponyville Town, where they found Lemon Zest and Sunny Flare were helping and defending the ponies at Ponyville Town Hall. Lemon Zest used her strange giant music boxes-like blasters on her shoulders while Sunny Flare was checking and healing the injured troopers and soldiers, with her Nanobots and Medicine on them.

Lemon Zest was facing the group of Mecha Ponies from Machine Enforcement Force. She smirked amusingly and proudly as her sound blasters.

Lemon Zest chuckled and cheered, "Say hello to my little friend! Fire and a hole!"

As the minions were getting close to her, Lemon Zest fired her Sound Blasters in blowing most of them out. As some were close to her, she punched and kicked them while shooting her mini Sound Blaster in firing them off.

Using her Nanobots scanning and checking on injured ponies' wounds, Sunny Flare ordered and guided doctors and nurses of what they can do with the problem. In case they were too busy with the patients, her Nanobots will fly and assist them, with everything they've got.

"Come on, everypony! Do your best!" Sunny Flare ordered firmly as she was wrapping a male pony's wounded hoof, "These ponies need us now!"

Doctors and Nurses nodded firmly, "Yes, ma'am!"

Sunset Shimmer and her friends were amazed and surprised by another group of ponies helping others out. Unfortunately, a giant Dragoon Tank approached and aimed his missiles at them both. And just before he could pull the trigger, five Nanobots flew in as they fired and distracted it for the moment. And then, a powerful sound wave blasted the monstrous tank to pieces.

Surprised by Dragoon Tank's destruction, Sunset Shimmer and her friends turned and found both Lemon Zest and Sunny Flare saluted to them before returned to their duties. Suddenly, a recruit came and informed them that both Sweet Apple Acres and Fluttershy's Cottage got attacked as well. They have to go and help the areas now.


Sunset Shimmer and Spike headed off to Fluttershy's Cottage, since that area was defenseless and only filled with animals. Upon arriving to the area, they were surprised and amazed as they found Sour Sweet engaging with the Timberwolves while defending the animals. The animals were hiding inside their shelters.

Sour Sweet dodged and avoided the Timberwolves' attacks as she swiftly and fiercely swung her Storm Nunchucks in knocking and blowing the wooden wolves to pieces

"You're not gonna hurt those pretties! I've fought tougher monsters than you are! You don't scare me that easily." Sour Sweet taunted proudly before giggled amusingly, "Unless, you're just a little babies."

Her taunts angered Timberwolves to go wild and attacked her head on. Just as she planned for her enemies; she charged, slide down and dodged the attacks swiftly while ferociously and viciously swung her nunchucks in knocking their legs hard. This made the group of wild wooden wolves fell and broken to pieces. Sunset Shimmer and Spike were surprised by her attacks.

SNARL! Both Sunset Shimmer and Spike yelped in concern as they turned to their back and found a Timberwolf is about to attack them. Suddenly, Sour Sweet jumped up high high while swinging her nunchucks. She slammed hers in knocking it to pieces. After finishing the last one, she turned and gave a sinister smirk to both allies and Timberwolves.

Timberwolves yelped in fear as they turned and ran off at once.

"I knew these wolves are nothing but puppies," Sour Sweet scoffed proudly, "Nothing I can handle..."

"Wow... That's something..." Sunset Shimmer said in surprise.

Spike nodded, "That's Sour Sweet. She's a tough and strong pony. So, don't mess with her."

Sunset Shimmer nodded in understanding, "Got it..."

As soon as the wooden wolves made their way back to Everfree Forest, they all got blasted to pieces by MechaInfinite, who was both angered and disappointed about the latest status.


Starlight Glimmer made her way to Sweet Apple Acres, where she found Orc Soldiers were overwhelming and taking over it. As she quickly charged down and assist the Apple Family. She stopped and found Sugarcoat, Big McIntosh and Granny Smith were defending their home and fending the invaders off.

Sugarcoat used her Ocean Trident in swinging and striking at her enemies while blocking and deflecting the attacks off. Big McIntosh punched and kicked them off one-by-one while Granny Smith used her broom in slapping and wrecking them very hard by the heads.

The Orc Soldiers quickly called a powerful Ogre Brute to assist. And just before the monster could do anything, Sugarcoat flew over to his back as she began slashing and striking in his for few times. He roared in anger as he turned and swung his mace at her but missed. They have been at the routine for ten rounds. The brute became and grew exhausted and tired as he continued attacking her. As he gave a final swing at her, she dodged down and then thrust her trident at his neck, causing him to bleed to death.

Seeing their brute was defeated, the Orc Soldiers screeched and panicked. They all began to retreat. She and the Apple Family drove the last remaining monsters off from their home. They all cheered wildly and happily that they defended their home.

"Wow. That's amazing. Nice one, guys." Starlight Glimmer said in amazement as she approached to Sugarcoat, "Thanks for the help, Sugarcoat."

Sugarcoat bowed humbly, "I am happy to assist especially when Applejack is the one, who hired and tasked me to look after her farm."

"Yeah. That is true," Starlight Glimmer nodded in agreement. She then looked at the damaged sights of farm before turned and glared at the Orc Soldiers running and fleeing from battlefield. She hummed in concern, "This is 11th time they strike. But why attack Applejack's home? She doesn't have something worth for them to invade and steal."

"Or perhaps, they wished to send a warning or message that Ponyville Town is defenseless without Mane Six and Dragon Strike Force. They want to conquer it as their base," Sugarcoat said calmly and firmly.

"You maybe right about it. But how do they know when to strike?"

"By my calculation and suspicious of the latest situation, we might have a mole here. They know when to strike during the absence of our leaders."

"Make sense. But who? Who could have done this?"

"I wish I knew..."

"Somepony help!"

Both Starlight Glimmer and Sugarcoat looked up ahead, where they found Sunset Shimmer and Spike were running away from a giant ogre warrior. Sugarcoat armed with her Ocean Trident as she threw it right on the monster's head, causing it to die. This surprised and shocked everyone else. She then firmly and proudly saluted to them.

However, they all have been watched. From the Apple Orchards, Trickster Fox from the apple tree's branch as she was eating the apple. She hummed in concern while showing angry and annoyed looks. A ghoulish shadowy-like pony was with her and he was called as Spiritshadow.

Spiritshadow hissed, "This might be a problem than we thought."

"Agreed. Looks like we've got new players in town. Let's see what they've got first..."


Back at the Castle of Friendship Library, Sunset Shimmer and her friends gathered and have some discussion about what happen today, involving five ponies. They were all surprised and amazed by today's event.

"Did you guys see what I saw," Sunset Shimmer asked in amazement. Starlight Glimmer and Spike nodded in agreement. She smiled, "Those girls are amazing! They handle the situation well, especially fighting those monsters off!"

Starlight Glimmer nodded in agreement, "Yeah! We definitely need them in our team! So, let's go and ask them to join us now!"

"Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow there!" Spike protested in concern. Both unicorns turned and looked at him. He sighed, "It's good that those girls got skills and help Ponyville. But don't you think that we're a bit of rush?"

"Come on, Spike. What's there to be a rush?" Starlight Glimmer asked. She smiled, "We're recruiting the best for a team to defend our home if Twilight and her friends weren't around."

"Plus, Twilight asked me to make some new friends," Sunset Shimmer said calmly, "And I'm gonna do it when we're recruiting those girls into our team. We'll get to know more from each other."

Spike hummed in concern while crossed his arms, "I guess that's true. I'm just worried that they all won't get along."

"We won't know if we don't try," Starlight Glimmer said optimistically.

Sunset Shimmer nodded proudly, "Plus, we're helping and building friendship and teamwork between us and those five girls. And you're gonna help us out. You've got some experiment in friendship."

Spike gulped nervously, "Oh boy..."

Just as they planned, Sunset Shimmer and her friends sent invitation letters to five specific ponies in joining the team. And hopefully, everything went well as they planned.


In Everfree Forest, Trickster Fox gathered three generals and A blue unicorn filly with spiky black mane and short tail with red sashes - Himiko were gathered for communicating with Guildenstern about latest report.

Guildenstern hummed suspiciously, "This could spell some troubles..."

"What are we gonna do about it?" Himiko asked amusingly and playfully, "Go and kill them at once? Is it what we always do?"

Skullcrusher chuckled amusingly, "Good one."

"The sooner the better," MechaInfinite said in agreement, "I'd say blow the castle up now!"

"Still we have no idea of what we're dealing with," Trickster Fox said calmly, "We should gathered more information about them."

Spiritshadow chuckled, "I second it. I would like to terrifying them now..."

"Yes. That'd be a good idea," Guildenstern said dryly and darkly, "We must learn more about this 'new team' Sunset and Starlight has been building. See them if they're threat or not to us. If they are, we must act. Trickster should take the lead."

Trickster Fox smiled, "Leave it to me."

Skullcrusher groaned, "Why does she always take the lead?"

MechaInfinite scoffed, "Yeah. I'd never understand why. I thought strongest warriors should do it, not the weak ones."

"Don't you mean the smart ones?" Spiritshadow said amusingly before chuckled, "We always inspect the situation before we act, morons."

Himiko giggled amusingly, "Yeah. Smart ones are better than morons!"

"WHAT?!" Skullcrusher and MechaInfinite demanded in anger, "Why you little-?!"

"Enough..." Trickster Fox hissed, shushing her units down. She smirked, "Now, let's start the job now. Let's see what this new team can do first."


On the next day...

After receiving the invitation card, Indigo Zap was the first pony to enter Castle of Friendship. Looking at the lobby hall decoration, she was amazed and surprised by the decoration. As she was distracted, she got her back bumped on somepony else, making her yelp in surprise. She turned and found Sugarcoat stood before.

"What the-?" Indigo Zap said in surprise and shock, "Miss Perfect Prefect? What the heck are you doing here?"

Sugarcoat shrugged, "You'd tell me, Private Zap."

"Wow... I cannot believe in my eyes and ears," A familiar voice said. Indigo Zap and Sugarcoat turned and found Sunny Flare approaching them from wall portrait. She smiled, "It's been a while, hasn't it?"

Indigo Zap smirked, "Sure, it is."

"No kidding," The confident voice said. Three ponies turned to the entrance, where they found both Sour Sweet and Lemon Zest entered. Sour Sweet whistled, "Wow. I'd never thought that I'd be seeing you girls here."

Lemon Zest nodded, "Yeah. We'd always see each other but never got a chance to talk until today. So, anypony got some ideas about why we're here?"

"No idea," Sunny Flare shrugged.

Indigo Zap sighed, "All we know that she's really impressed with our skills for beating bad guys and saving lives."

"That's something we don't see everyday," Sugarcoat said bluntly.

"So who really send the invitation letters to us?" Sour Sweet asked in surprise.

"I did."

Five ponies turned to the stairs, where they found Sunset Shimmer, Starlight Glimmer and even Spike descending to the ground. All of them greeted to each other politely and calmly. Five ponies were surprised and amazed that they were summoned by two proteges of Princess Twilight Sparkle, it must be something important for them to do.

"Okay, we're done with greeting and introducing to each other," Indigo Zap said dryly, "Can somepony tell me what the hell is going on?"

Sunny Flare nodded in agreement, "Yeah. So, why are we here for? It's gotta be some serious explanation why we need to be in this team."

"Defending the Ponyville Town. That's the whole idea of recruiting you all," Starlight Glimmer answered happily, "Well, duh."

"Yeah. We get it now," Sour Sweet said amusingly before scoffed, "Obviously..."

"But why us?" Lemon Zest asked in concern, "I mean there must be some ponies else are better on this job than us."

Sugarcoat nodded in agreement, "I second it. You must have a good reason."

"I sure am," Sunset Shimmer said calmly. She smiled, "When I saw how you fight with those monsters and handle the situation, you guys knew what you have to do. You wouldn't have the second thoughts or even being afraid to fight back. And that's why I choose you the team." She giggled a bit, "Plus, I wanna get to know you and make friends with you all. We might make a good team."

Five ponies looked at each other while showing concern and uneasy looks about making a good team with each other. Immediately recruiting them into a team may not be a good idea.

"Look, I know it might not be a dream team," Sunset Shimmer said calmly, "But when we both work and train together, we'll get to know more and become good friends and best team. What do you say?"

Five ponies still not convinced about teamwork, they all reluctantly agreed, "Fine..."

"Great. We start the training now!" Sunset Shimmer exclaimed happily.

Five ponies sighed in concern, "Oh joy...

Starlight Glimmer smiled as she levitated notes and pencil, "This could be fun."

"Or could be worse," Spike said in concern.


Sunset Shimmer, Starlight Glimmer and even Spike led a newly formed team to the training facility, which was located at the southern area within Castle of Friendship. They also hired Metalgear and his Metal Ponies to assist them for training, though the metallic ponies were actually against it due to Starlight Glimmer among it.

Sunset Shimmer and her newly team began their training as they both challenged and battled with Metal Ponies. Using their own weapons at minimum strength, they fought together as a team.

Indigo Zap used her high speed power and swing her Thunder Blade Naginata of charging and raiding Metal Ponies in one straight line. Sugarcoat armed with her Ocean Trident as she blocked and deflected the attacks before struck back at them. Sunny Flare used and controlled her Nanobots in firing their blasters and engaging her enemies. Sour Sweet screamed wildly and happily as she swung her Storm Nunchucks in knocking them off. Lemon Zest fired her Sound Blasters in blowing and knocking them off.

Both Sunset Shimmer and Starlight Glimmer came and assisted the newly team as well. Sunset Shimmer used her newly weapon - Blaze Fan in knocking and unleashed fury flames at Metal Ponies. Starlight Glimmer used her magic powers in blasting and knocking them out, especially she wanted to hit Metalgear for pranked on her too many times.

Despite they have some highly fighting and magic skills, Sunset Shimmer and her newly team weren't able to cooperate and work together. Lemon Zest accidentally fired her Sound Blaster in knocking her team off. Sour Sweet was supposed to hit on one of Metal Ponies but Indigo Zap got it instead. Sunny Flare has trying to send her Nanobots to fight and engage the enemies but distracted and annoying her teammates. Indigo Zap used her Raiding Strike again but this time she missed Metal Ponies and hit her teammates. While fighting her enemies, Sugarcoat tried to assist her teammates but only angered them that they can handle it. This caused them to have a heated argument.

The training lasted for two hours. Metalgear and his Metal Ponies defeated and knocked their opponents at ease due to the argument Sunset Shimmer's team have. The team groaned and moaned in annoyance and pain.

Spike clapped his claws while smiled uneasily, "Great job! That was an awesome teamwork you girls make. Not great as Mane Six. But you did your best. I guess?"

"By 'best' means 'worst'," Sugarcoat asked dryly and bluntly before scoffed, "I knew this teamwork won't work."

"Gee, you think?" Indigo Zap asked dryly and annoyingly, "I could have taken them if some of you stop blocking my raiding attack!"

"You?!" Lemon Zest asked before scoffed, "Yeah, right! My Sound Blaster can do better than yours!"

"Just coz you got some awesome weapons, doesn't mean they're better than my Nanobots!" Sunny Flare exclaimed in anger.

"Shut up, Sunny," Sour Sweet snarled, "None of you are better than me 'cause I got some skills!"

"As if!" Everyone exclaimed in anger.

Sour Sweet snarled, "Make me!"

Five girls began their argument with each other angrily and wildly, making Sunset Shimmer and her friends looked uneasy and concern.

"This could take a while..." Starlight Glimmer said in concern.

"Everyone, stop!" Sunset Shimmer ordered firmly. Everyone turned and looked at her. She sighed, "Look. Girls, this is training, not competition. We're building our trust, unity and friendship as a team. If you keep on like this, then all of us are easy targets for them to attack."

"She has the point," Starlight Glimmer said in agreement, "I mean what happen if you don't help others, then they won't able to come and assist you. Even though all of us have differences, we all have common goals and enemies to deal with. So, put the sock of it and work together."

Five ponies groaned and moaned in annoyance about it. They all sighed in defeat as they nodded in agreement, even though they really don't like it.

"We'll try this again tomorrow," Sunset Shimmer said calmly and firmly, "Hopefully, we can get better before the next battle."

Everyone chatted and muttered in agreement that they will have to improve their skills and teamwork again, despite they have problems with each other.

"While we take a day off," Sugarcoat said firmly, "We should investigate on a mole in our society. He's been feeding the information to our enemies. We should deal with it now."

Sunset Shimmer and Starlight Glimmer yelped in surprise as they have forgotten about a 'mole'. They have to deal with it before more troubles come to Ponyville Town. They also have to ensure their team is ready to face their enemies again.

Unknown to them, one of Metal Ponies has the demonic eyes like he's being possessed or is as he has watched everything from his eyes. Suddenly, he grunted in pain like something emerging out from it, revealing unseen yet transparent evil spirit Spiritshadow immediately leaving the scene. He has all the information he needs.


After observing on Sunset Shimmer and Starlight Glimmer making progress with the team, Trickster Fox had some discussion with her teammates. They have to dealing with their enemies from forming a strong bond of team and discovering 'them' being involved as a mole.

Himiko huffed proudly, "Those girls aren't tough and smart as Twilight's or Shadow Dragon's. They're just big losers. So, we don't have to worry about it."

"Wrong..." Trickster Fox said firmly and dryly. Everyone turned and looked at her. She narrowed her eyes in anger and firm, "It's true that this team is not strong and intelligent as others. They're still a threat to us because they were onto us. We need to get rid of those pests."

"What should we do?" Skullcrusher asked in concern.

"I'd say we could go inside the castle and possessed one of them to get the job done," Spiritshadow chuckled amusingly, "The sooner we get rid of the problem, the better we can continue on our mission."

MechaInfinist snarled, "No. I'd say we go and blown the castle to pieces. Easy as pie!"

"No..." Trickster Fox said amusingly before giggled proudly, "I've got a better idea. And this is going to put a biggest nightmare for Starlight to face, am I right, Guildenstern?"

Himiko looked confuse, "How are we gonna do that?"

Guildenstern smirked, "I like the idea of yours. I'd be waiting to haunt her again..."


In the night time, Sunset Shimmer allowed five ponies to sleep at the Castle of Friendship, so they can work together on their trust and teamwork building. While they were asleep, Starlight Glimmer was in the library as she was doing some researches. She even asked Mystic Tao to give some reports about involved of Dark Mystic Ponies' recent activities, missing items and stolen information.

While studying and checking on reports, Starlight Glimmer observed and analyzed on them cautiously especially when it involved of Trickster 'Da Ji' Fox. She has some suspicious about Dark Mystic Fox since she knew that troublemaker is up to her tricks and never known for her honesty.

"This Trickster may have joined the Mystic Force willingly," Starlight Glimmer said suspiciously and calmly, "But I doubt she did it for redemption. She must be here for a reason." She hummed, "Could she be a mole from the start? If she is, she must be the reason why Dark Mystic Ponies continued assaulting Ponyville Town and even stealing information for them."

LAUGHTER!
 This surprised and shocked Starlight Glimmer. And just before she could ask, something gagged and grabbed her into dark shadows while she struggled in getting out of grip. She then vanished while the lights turned off.

"Now. The stage is set..."


On the next day, Sunset Shimmer and her team were on training again. And unfortunately, they made things even worse again. Because of their competitive and bade attitude, they get into a heated argument with each other again. But the worse is they fought and attacked each other hard and fierce, which Sunset Shimmer struggled in stopping them. This led Metalgear and his Metal Ponies in defeating them at ease.

Sunset Shimmer's team groaned and moaned painfully as they were defeated and lying down on the ground. The amber unicorn groaned and sighed in defeat.

"You know, girls," Sunset Shimmer said in disappointment, "Metal Ponies learned from their mistakes once, they did it better."

Sunny Flare sighed, "You can't blame us for that one."

Indigo Zap groaned, "That's because they're robots." Suddenly, Metal Pony came and gave a big pow on her head. She yelped, "Ow! Hey!"

"Lesson one, Zap. Never insults Metal Ponies 'robots'. They're sensitive," Sunset Shimmer remarked dryly.

Sour Sweet giggled amusingly, "Nice going, Zappy."

"Yeah. You should watch what you're saying," Lemon Zest laughed happily.

Indigo Zap snarled, "Watch it, two-faced freak and music loser! You're the ones need to watch what you're saying, otherwise you get some bites back!"

"Huh?! Hey!" Sour Sweet and Lemon Zest snarled in anger.

"This is pointless," Sugarcoat remarked bluntly and dryly. Everyone looked at her. She continued while adjusting her glasses gently, "I mean. If we can't work together with others, then what is the point of building a team? Ponyville Town will be easily destroyed or conquered."

Sunny Flare sighed, "Sugarcoat does have the point. I think you might need to find somepony else. We might as well go back to our job and forget all about this."

"That is so true," Indigo Zap nodded in agreement, "We don't wanna be a drag for you to take. Sorry, Sunset Shimmer. This isn't gonna work."

"Ditto," Sour Sweet and Lemon Zest said in agreement.

"No. I'm not giving up on this team," Sunset Shimmer refused firmly. This surprised and shocked her newly friends. She continued, "We still can do this. We still can be in this team if we learn to be open-minded and trust each other. Nopony is quitting in my team until we're really done!"

"What?! Sunset, you're nuts about this," Sour Sweet said in shock/

"You can't be serious," Sugarcoat asked in unconvinced tone.

"Yeah. There's no way we can do this," Lemon Zest said in agreement.

Sunny Flare hissed, "We always get so competitive and argument to each other. It's impossible for us to work and be in a team."

"Let's face it, Sunset. We're the jokes," Indigo Zap said in concern, "Why do you believe that we're the ones should be in your team?"

Sunset Shimmer sighed, "That's because you're all not just a teammate, you're all my-!"

"Sunset!" Spike called as he entered the training hall. He quickly approached to her. As he was panting heavily, he passed a scroll to Sunset Shimmer, "Starlight's gone! And here's the note."

Sunset Shimmer took the note as she read it out loud, "If you want your friend back, come to the abandoned mansion now. We'll be waiting for you..."

Sunset Shimmer snarled as she crushed it hard. She turned to her team, "Listen up, troopers. Our friend is in danger! And she needs our help! I know the training we have isn't the best, but today is time to prove them that we're still a team! If any of you want to leave, you can leave now."

Despite the training and argument they have is terrible, five ponies made no move of going because they're not gonna let one of Twilight Sparkle's proteges to be in their enemies' hooves. They all nodded firmly and proudly.

Sunset Shimmer nodded firmly while smiling, "Good! There's gonna be a trap, no doubt. So, stick and work as a team together. They'll be expecting us soon..."

Spike groaned in concern, "We're gonna die..."


Sunset Shimmer and her friends made their way to the abandoned mansion, which was located further away from Sweet Apple Acres. As they arrived at their destination, they quickly took and arms with their weapons while Spike shivered and quivered in fears. They all marched into it now.

As they opened the door, they found empty yet ruined and messy hall and furniture. Though no sign of the enemies, they readied their weapons while cautiously marching through it. During their march, they heard some snarling noise. They looked around of their surroundings in search for signs of monsters.

Feeling slime on her head, Sour Sweet groaned in disgust while touched it. She then looked up and found Shadow Ninjas were attaching to the ceiling. They dropped and attacked Sunset Shimmer's team. But instead, the team retaliated and defeated the enemy ninjas at ease.

"That was easy," Lemon Zest commented.

BANG! The shot hit the ground, causing Sunset Shimmer's team yelped while dropping to the ground. They looked up and found Mitsune Snipers firing and sniping at them down. Lemon Zest quickly fired her Sound Blaster in blowing the monsters off. With the enemies has been dealt with, they all got up while glaring at Lemon Zest.

"What?!" Lemon Zest asked angrily, "I didn't know that saying it make bad things happen!"

"Dude. Everypony knows saying 'too easy' gets us into troubles!" Sugarcoat remarked dryly, "Should have shut up, genius."

"Hey! I did shot those guys up, didn't I?!" Lemon Zest asked in annoyance.

"Well, hopefully, we don't get more surprises again. I hate it." Sunny Flare said dryly. As she turned to the front, she yelped in surprise by Sour Sweet's funny scary face. Her ally laughed amusingly. She groaned, "That is not funny, Sour Sweet!"

Sour Sweet giggled as she held a emerald jewel, "It is when I pull this kind of prank!"

Sunny Flare screamed as she jumped and attacked Sour Sweet, "Give it back, Sweet Ass! That is Rarity's Gift! It was for me only!"

"Make me!" Sour Sweet hissed as she fought back at Sunny Flare, "I'm not afraid."

"Knock it out, jackass!" Indigo Zap groaned as she separated both Sunny Flare and Sour Sweet, "This is not the time to fight! We've got job to do. And it's call 'stop screwing it up'!"

"Like any of you are better!" Sugarcoat exclaimed in annoyance, "I take this job serious!"

"As if!" The girls exclaimed in anger.

And just before the girls could argue, Sunset Shimmer shushed them, "This is not the time to argue! So, shut up and move out!"

As Sunset Shimmer began climbing up the stairs, Spike spoke, "They do have the point about the team." Sunset Shimmer turned and glared at him. He yelped, "What?! I was just pointing out only."

Sunset Shimmer groaned in annoyance as she led her team climbing up the stairs and resume their march. Hopefully, they won't get into a big fight while watching out for the enemies.

As expected, Sunset Shimmer and her team met the resistance units of Mecha Ponies and Orc Soldiers. They've dealt the enemies at ease, but they still glaring and muttered angrily at each other of being distraction and refused to assist during the battlefield. And at the same time, they heard voiced telling them 'not to trust or befriend', 'traitor' and 'weakling'. Nevertheless, Sunset Shimmer managed to calm and make them to work out.

Sunset Shimmer's team continued marching and made their way to a large hall, where they found Starlight Glimmer being tied up on the chair while her eyes and mouth were gagged. She struggled in getting out of it. They quickly approached and freed her.

"It's a trap!" Starlight Glimmer exclaimed in concern.

"We know. And we beat it!" Spike said proudly.

Lemon Zest smirked, "And it's easy too."

BAM! Sunset Shimmer and her friends yelped in surprise and concern as they looked around and found Dark Mystic Ponies emerging out from various doors. They consist of Demon Soldiers, Shadow Ninjas, Orc Soldiers, Werewolf Scouts, Mecha Ponies and Griffon Jetfighters. They were all led by both Skullcrusher and Spiritshadow.

"Why do you keep saying that?" Indigo Zap demanded in anger.

Sugarcoat nodded, "You need to shut up from using that 'word'. It's getting irritating."

Lemon Zest snarled, "Cut me some slack!"

"There's more. I know who is the mole," Starlight Glimmer said dryly. She looked up, "Why don't you show yourself, Guildenstern and Trickster!"

Just as Starlight Glimmer expected, Guildenstern and Trickster Fox emerged out from the ceiling like ghosts phased through solid walls. This shocked and scared Sunset Shimmer and her friends off.

"Trickster Fox?! You're the traitor?!" Spike asked in shock and concern, "I don't understand! I thought you join us for your friend, Himiko!"

Starlight Glimmer snarled, "Yes and no! She joined us to get and steal more information for her masters! And at the same time, she's been leading Dark Mystic Ponies of attacking Ponyville Town when Twilight and others gone for missions!"

"It's brilliant," Trickster Fox said amusingly, "After all, 'Friendship is Magic'. That's what you all do is to help and make everypony friends. How foolish you really are!"

Sunset Shimmer huffed, "Well, this foolish has assemble a team that is gonna stop you and your plans for good!"

"Yeah! And this time, we'll be sending you packing home for good!" Starlight Glimmer exclaimed firmly. She turned and glared at Guildenstern, "I'm not afraid of you, Guildenstern!"

"MAGGOTS!" Guildenstern exclaimed loudly, scaring and frightening Starlight Glimmer off. He chuckled evilly, "It's true that your team indeed has some excellent fighters. But you fools are truly nuisance as your heroes. But not good enough I'm afraid!"

Trickster Fox giggled amusingly, "Well, time to end our game. Can't let you all ruin our plans and master plans. And to be honest, you're fun to play with. Finish them!"

Both Skullcrusher and Spiritshadow chuckled darkly and evilly as they approached while leading his army to attack them. Sunset Shimmer and her team formed a perimeter while armed with their weapon to fight back.

"This just keeps getting better." Sunset Shimmer said in concern.

Starlight Glimmer sighed, "At least, we've know what's really going on. Plus, we've got the team now."

"That's one good news," Sunset Shimmer admitted, "But teamwork is still in working progress."

Starlight Glimmer yelped in concern while has a sweat drop, "This ought to be interesting..."

"Attack!" Skullcrusher ordered wildly.

Spiritshadow chuckled as he held and threw his skulls out, "Prepare to be part of my collection!"

As Dark Mystic Ponies attacked them, Sunset Shimmer's team fiercely fought and attacked enemy troops. Skullcrusher arrived and joined the battlefield as he held and slammed his broadsword at them. Lemon Zest quickly fired her Sound Blaster in blowing him off. Both Indigo Zap and Sugarcoat charged and pushed him back hard while Starlight Glimmer assisted by firing her Unicorn Burst at him off.

As he was being pushed back, Skullcrusher roared in anger as he activated his broadsword in blazing dark fire. He jumped and slammed it of unleashing and blowing the blazing dark flames at them off. They quickly dodged and avoided the attacks. Unfortunately, Spiritshadow has summoned his minions to assist and attack them back, causing them to be split and separated from each other.

Spiritshadow laughed evilly as he commanded and led his minions in attacking and dueling Sunset Shimmer and her team separately. Spike continued ran away from the fight while avoiding being attacked and killed.

Though they're highly skilled and strong warriors, Sunset Shimmer and her friends struggled in overcoming the large numbers especially two evil warriors to deal with. But at the same time, both Guildenstern and Trickster Fox used their shape-shifting in tricking and attacking the team. This make the team to doubt each other and weakening its teamwork and friendship. This has become hard for them to defeat their enemies.

Skullcrusher and Spiritshadow led their army in cornering and surrounding Sunset Shimmer's team in a circle. As their backs bumped into each other, they turned and glared at each other and shouted angrily, 'watch it'.

"You got a lot of nerve for 'helping' me out!" Indigo Zap exclaimed in anger, "I don't need your help now!"

Sour Sweet groaned as she pushed Indigo Zap off, "Back off! You're the one, who started the mess!"

"Look, who's talking, two-faced jackass!" Lemon Zest snarled at Sour Sweet, "At least, I'm not a backstabber for stabbing on my friends!"

Sunny Flare snarled as she kept her Nanobots closed to her, "Show's one to know one! I'm not gonna put my trust in either of you. Only my Nanobots can be trusted! They're better than you!"

"Relying technology means you're weakling and pathetic!" Sugarcoat remarked dryly, "The only pony, who can trust is themselves and their skills! Nothing more! Nothing less!"

Sunset Shimmer groaned in anger as she had it, "That's enough!" She turned and glared at her team, "If you don't put your difference aside now, we'll be defeated and destroyed forever! You must trust and work together now!"

Starlight Glimmer nodded in agreement, "She's right! Dark Mystic Ponies will take advantage and kill us now!"

"You talk too much, Starlight!" Guildenstern snarled, "Now I'm going to do what Amon should have done. Terminate you, once and for all!"

Trickster Fox nodded, "Agreed. Your friends will be joining too! Let's finish this now. It was fun while it lasts!"

Guildenstern and Trickster Fox held their hooves up as they combined and unleashed a dark spiritual powerful blast 'Evil Ghoul Force'! They aimed it right at Starlight Glimmer and five ponies. And just before it could hit or even she noticed the attack, Sunset Shimmer teleported on their side as she summoned Shield Barrier in protecting themselves! Starlight Glimmer joined and assisted her classmate as well.

Unfortunately, the barrier can't hold much longer as it began to crack. And just before Sunset Shimmer and Starlight Glimmer could do anything, the Evil Ghoul Force broke through the barrier and knocked both of them hard. Both of them fell to the ground hard.

Five ponies and Spike were in shock and concern, "Sunset! Starlight!"

"Without their leaders, the team will be easily destroyed," Guildenstern said amusingly, "Finish them, Skullcrusher!"

Skullcrusher chuckled evilly as he approached and raised his broadsword up high. He slammed it right at both Sunset Shimmer and Starlight Glimmer. However, both Indigo Zap and Sugarcoat quickly and firmly halted the attack with their strong weapons. While he was pressing his attacks down, the skull demon general was about to kick them off. But instead, he got his chest got hit and kick by Sour Sweet and Sunny Flare. Lemon Zest fired her Sound Blast in blowing him off. Five ponies shown their firm and proud warrior's face as they all armed and readied to attack.

"What?!" Dark Mystic Ponies demanded in anger.

Sugarcoat snarled while held her Ocean Trident, "We won't let you..."

"Hurt our friends..." Indigo Zap joined in while armed with Thunder Blade Naginata.

Sunny Flare groaned as she readied her Nanobots, "Because if you really dare..."

"We're gonna hurt you..." Lemon Zest said firmly as she armed her Sound Blaster.

Sour Sweet hissed as she cracked her hooves and armed her Storm Nunchucks, "A lot! No more misses nice girls now!"

"What?!" Trickster Fox asked in surprise before laughed amusingly, "Please, tell me you're joking. How could you call her a 'friend' when you refused to accept each other's friendship!"

"That maybe true," Indigo Zap admitted in shame before gritted her teeth, "But when you hit one of my friends, I'm gonna kick your ass!"

Sugarcoat nodded, "That's affirmative! You won't get away from this!"

"We may not be the best team as others," Sunny Flare said firmly, "But that doesn't mean we'll back down easily."

Lemon Zest laughed proudly, "Yeah, dude! We're gonna rock your world!"

Sour Sweet smirked amusingly, "So, get ready to get your ass whooped!"

Guildenstern hissed, "You will regret this! Finish them off now!"

Skullcrusher and Spiritshadow roared wildly as they ordered their minions to attack and engaged their enemies at once. Five ponies looked at each other before nodded firmly and in agreement. Sunn Flare and Spike stayed behind to heal both Sunset Shimmer and Starlight Glimmer while the rest charged and engaged the enemies.

Sugarcoat and Indigo Zap swung their Ocean Trident and Thunder Blade Naginata at the enemy charging one-by-one while watching each other's back. Lemon Zest fired her Sound Blaster at her enemies off. Using both Storm Nunchucks and martial art skills, Sour Sweet was defending Sunny Flare and Spike. While they both were healing Sunset Shimmer and Starlight Glimmer, she used her Nanobots in helping her friends out while protecting them.

Sugarcoat and Indigo Zap engaged Skullcrusher, the skull demon general roared in anger as he swung his broadsword at them both. They quickly dodged by flipping backwards quickly. They then performed Raiding Charge in pushing and ramming him back. He then pushed them back. Both sides struggled yet firmly to overcome their opponent. And just before any of them could react, Indigo Zap slide down while kicked Skullcrusher's leg to be tripped. Sugarcoat then swung her Ocean Trident in knocking him off. And just before the demon skull general could do anything, both girls charged and slammed their weapons him. He broke into pieces.

Skullcrusher groaned as he began forming his pieces together, "I hate when they do that!"

Spiritshadow continued throwing his skulls in summoning and commanding his minions to attack. And unfortunately they weren't able due to Lemon Zest in firing her Sound Blaster in knocking them off. While he struggled, he has to avoid Sour Sweet, who swung her Storm Nunchucks at him for few rounds. As Lemon Zest has defeated most of the minions and send them back to his chest, this has caused him to groan and screech in pain. Sour Sweet took her chance in slamming hers on Spiritshadow's chest of thousand skulls to crack. This wounded and injured him badly.

Spiritshadow hissed in pain, "Damn you!"

As four ponies continued engaging and attacking enemy generals and troops separately, both Guildenstern and Trickster quickly assisted their allies with shape-shifting tricks. However, Sunny Flare used her Nanobots in firing and engaging them swiftly and ferociously. While they managed to dodge and avoid the attacks, but they received minor injuries.

And at the same time, Spike and Sunny Flare managed to heal both Sunset Shimmer and Starlight Glimmer. Both of them regain their consciousness.

Guildenstern hissed, "It appears we might have underestimated them!"

"In that case, time for plan B! All units, escape!" Trickster Fox ordered. The dark portals appeared as her minions quickly make an escape. She smirked while make a contact to her ally, "See you in all, fools!"

Both Guildenstern and Trickster Fox escaped by teleportation. And just before Sunset Shimmer and her team could react, the building started to quake. This shocked and surprised them both.

"This time I'm not saying it!" Lemon Zest exclaimed in concern.

Sunset Shimmer groaned, "They're bringing the house down! We have to get out of here now!"

"Teleportation now!" Starlight Glimmer ordered.

As the whole building began toppling down, both Sunset Shimmer and Starlight Glimmer quickly used their magical horn. Theirs were affecting both themselves and their allies. They all escaped before it could crushed them.


Trickster Fox and Guildenstern teleported outside of the abandoned mansion, where they met up with the rest of their minions. MechaInfinite and his Dragoon Tankers were firing their missiles at the house, which was burning and toppled to the ground.

MechaInfinite scoffed, "Job is done. No more ponies."

"My secret is safe," Trickster Fox said amusingly.

"Think again."

The voice surprised Trickster Fox and her minions. They looked up ahead and found Sunset Shimmer and her team stood before them.

"Impossible?!" Guildenstern said in shock.

"Nothing is impossible!" Sunset Shimmer said firmly and proudly, "As long we have each other, we won't be defeated."

Starlight Glimmer nodded in agreement, "That's right. As Princess Twilight always said, Friendship is Magic!" She turned and faced Trickster Fox, "Looks like you've been exposed, Trickster!"

Trickster Fox groaned in annoyance, "Spare me of your victory. And besides, I'm tired of being a spy anyway. I'm done being a good guy."

"Indeed. We have made some progress for our projects and plans were on the way," Guildenstern said calmly, "And soon, both realm will fall before our master. All hope and faith will be destroyed. Mark my word. You all will not prevail!"

Guildenstern laughed evilly and manically, followed by Trickster Fox. Their evil laughter annoyed Sunset Shimmer's team. The ponies were about to attack but the Dark Mystic Ponies summoned the Dark Portal as they all entered and escaped. They were all disappointed and upset that they didn't stop the enemies but they did save the town...


Back at the Castle of Friendship; Sunset Shimmer, Starlight Glimmer and Spike were having some discussion, regarding the team since five of them refused to cooperate. As much as they liked the girls as the team, they can't force five of them now. They have made their decision now.

Sunset Shimmer summoned her five newly friends inside the Council of Friendship Chamber for their final answers.

Sunset Shimmer sighed, "Listen, girls. I know this team is not what you wanted especially you don't like each other very much. So, I'm sorry for forcing you to join us." She looked down in shame before looked up and gave a firm looks, "But I just want you to know that you're all not just a teammate, you're all my newly friends! I won't forget this..."

Starlight Glimmer nodded in agreement, "I'll let Princess Twilight know about your effort and bravery for saving this town. You all will be rewarded."

Five ponies looked at each other for the moment. Instead of showing hostility and angry, they all smiled proudly and firmly. They turned and faced to Sunset Shimmer and her friends.

"Hey. Whoever told you that we're done with the team?" Indigo Zap asked amusingly. It surprised Sunset Shimmer, Starlight Glimmer and Spike. She scoffed, "Sure we've got some problem and competitive issues with each other. But..."

"That doesn't mean we're done," Sugarcoat said firmly and proudly, "We would like to continue with this team."

Sunset Shimmer was surprised and shocked, "Really?"

"You betcha," Lemon Zest said confidently.

Sunny Flare nodded, "As everyone has said, the more the merrier. Having more friends is indeed fun especially when we work together to save this town."

"Yeah!" Sour Sweet said proudly, "I would like to get another rematch with those guys! Nopony messes with any of us!"

"Wow..." Starlight Glimmer and Spike said in surprise.

"I... I... I don't know what to say," Sunset Shimmer said in surprise.

"Just say 'thanks' and hug us?" Indigo Zap asked amusingly.

Sunset Shimmer smiled happily as she charged towards her newly five friends. She jumped and hugged them happily. They all were surprised yet happy. They smiled and hugged her back passionately. They are now newly formed team.

Spike smiled, "I loved this part. Reminds me of Twilight's making her first new friends."

"Yeah. I know what you mean," Starlight Glimmer said calmly. She turned and looked at Sunset Shimmer, "Since you've got a new team, what do you wanna call them?"

"Yeah, what do you call it?" Everyone asked curiously.

Sunset Shimmer hummed thoughtfully before smiled, "Shadow Six." Everyone surprisingly and oddly looked at her. She continued, "We're not Mane Six. But whenever they or others aren't here, we'll take over and defend the town! We may not be best as them, but we'll be sure give those guys some hell they'd never forget!"

Five ponies, Starlight Glimmer and Spike cheered wildly and happily. Thus, a new team is created to defend Ponyville Town, whenever Twilight Sparkle and her friends aren't available. Shadow Six is born!
