Chapter 2
Once inside, Twilight turns to Mihana and Jessie
“I’m going to take a quick shower; you guys just relax and we’ll get dinner started.” She said to the couple
“Sounds good to me.” Jessie smiled.
While twilight walks to the bathroom, Mihana and Jessie head to the living room, there Twilight's brother's Shining Armor and Spike greet them.
"Hey, guys. What's up?" Shinning Armor says while on his recliner
“We figured we stay for dinner. Uncle Hyde and Uncle J’onn already went back to the hotel.” Mihana explained while sitting next to Spike on the sofa while he’s playing on his phone.
"Cool," Shinning said as he took a sip of his beer. After taking a few gulps, he turns up the volume on the tv for the evening news.
“Reports say There is still no signs of the superhero team, G.O. Force, the world-renowned team was last seen tracking down escaped extraterrestrial criminals after a massive prison break at the infamous “Hades’ Oven” prison. Officials have still yet to release the cause of the breakout. In Local news, eyewitnesses have claimed to see a large bear on the outskirts of town, some have claimed that this bear is responsible for the disappearance of a few campers three months ago, but investigators and park officials have yet to prove these rumors true. Local townsfolk are advised to stay clear of local wildlife and lock your doors at night.” The news anchor said as Mihana watched while thinking of her family and friends.
“So, are you guys part of G.O. Force?” Spike bluntly asks, catching Mihana and Jessie off guard.
“U-Uh…what makes you say that?” Mihana nervously asked.
“You guys have those orb things with you. And G.O. Force has orbs like those.” Spike replied.
“Well, where G.O. Force is from, it’s kinda common for everyone to have an Orb.” Mihana explained.
“You interested in G.O. Force spike?” Jessie asked while looking at Spike’s t-shirt which has the G.O. Force insignia on it.
"Uh, Heck yea! They're all we talk about at school! And don't get me wrong, the new team is ok, but I'm really into the Original eight! Especially the red guy! He's awesome!" Spike excitedly proclaimed.
“Yea…he is…” Mihana softly smiled as Spike was indirectly talking about Mihana’s father.
“Meh…they’re not so great.” Shinning Armor huffed.
"Shiny is just jealous cuz he doesn't have superpowers or a flashy colored suit," Spike said with a teasing smirk.
“They’re just a bunch of masked vigilantes who take the law into their own hands. It's disgraceful." Shinning Armor said with a mean look.
“But Mr. Shining. You don’t really mean that. Think of all the good G.O. Force has done.” Mihana said with a frown.
“Yea…it’s not like the normal police would have done a wonderful job handling those criminals without them," Jessie said after Mihana.
Jessie's comment made Shining Armor look over at Jessie with a mean glare as Jessie returns with a glare of his own. Sensing tension, Mihana thinks quickly.
“Uh, Jessie! W-why don’t you go check on Twilight, see how’s she’s doing?” Mihana suddenly blurred out.
“Fine…” Jessie replied as he got up and walked out the room.
“Your boyfriend has quite the mouth on him.” Shinning Armor says to Mihana.
“He…Just says what he feels…He’s like that sometimes.” Mihana nervously smiles.
----
Meanwhile in the bathroom, Twilight is still in the process of taking her shower. Right next to the shower is a basket of Twilight’s dirt-stained uniform. However, the dirt stain begins to peel off Twilight’s uniform. The dirt falls to the floor as it begins to take shape of a young man, it’s not long before Quicktrap stands in the bathroom.
“Get in, Get the girl, get out. Easy.” Quicktrap says to himself as his right-hand forms into a large claw while walking towards the shower, with Twilight completely unaware of his presence. But just before Quicktrap could go any closer, there is a knock at the door.
“Twilight? Everything ok in there?” Jessie calls from behind the door.
"Yea, I'm fine," Twilight replies as she turns off the water. “I’m almost done.”
“Shit!!!” Quicktrap panicked as he loses his solid form and turns back into the dirt stain on Twilight’s uniform, mere seconds before Twilight steps out.
Twilight grabs and wraps a towel around her hair and naked body before going into her room. Once gone, Quicktrap reforms back into his humanoid form.
“Damn it…not as easy as I thought…hmm…she has a nice body though…” Quicktrap thinks to himself before slapping himself across the face. “Focus Quicktrap! You have a job to do!” he mentally tells himself before disappearing into a pile of sand.
----
A few minutes later, Twilight, wearing a T-Shirt and shorts, and Jessie joins Shinning Armor, Mihana, and Spike in the living room.
“what’s that Twi?” Jessie asks as he sees something glittering in her hand.
"Oh, this? This is my ring, I've had it since I was a baby. Thought you'd guys would like to see it." Twilight said while showing it to Jessie and Mihana.
“Wow Twilight, your orb is pretty.” Mihana said as she marveled at the right. “and what a cute symbol it has” Mihana commented as she sees the pink six-pointed sparkle inside the Orb.
“Hehe, more like a cutie mark.” Jessie giggled as Spike joined him.
“It’s true, Twilight has had that thing since she was born, and it’s stuck with her since. No matter how many times she’s lost it or tried to get rid of it, it always appeared out of nowhere for her.” Shinning Armor says as he got up from his lounger.
“Really?” Mihana said with a sight hint of amazement,
"Yep, so eventually, dad made it into a ring for Twilight," Spike said
“It…it was the last birthday gift he gave me…” Twilight said with watery eyes.
“I’m sorry Twilight.” A sadden Mihana said while holding Twilight’s hand.
“No, it’s ok. He was a great man. And I’ll always love him for it.” Twilight smiled
As Mihana smiled back at twilight, Jessie thought to himself.
“Red said once a person loses their orb, it’s gone for good, and they must get a new one…so what’s the deal with Twilight’s orb?” Jessie wonders to himself.
“Anyway, you two staying for dinner?” Shinning Armor asked while walking towards the kitchen
“Oh no, we just thought we hang out with Twilight for a little bit. In fact, we should be leaving soon.” Mihana smiled.
"Meh, suit yourself." Shining Armor replied.
“Aww, at least stay for a little while longer.” Twilight pleaded with Mihana.
“Yea! Come on! Please!” Spike joined in in the pleading.
"Hyde will be very grumpy if we're late," Jessie said to Mihana.
“Hmm…” Mihana thought for a minute and then looked over to Twilight. “I’m sure Uncle Hyde won’t mind us staying for a little while longer.”
“Yay~!” Twilight and Spike cheered
Unbeknownst to the group, Quicktrap, in his sand form, was hiding under a chair while staring at the group.
"Huh…so those are the outsiders' everyone's been talking about…This may be more difficult than I thought…no matter, they’ll have to leave and I’ll move in…” Quicktrap thought to himself.
-One hour later-
"Wow Jessie, you suck at this game," Spike comments while watching Jessie's video game character die for the millionth time.
“Hey! Shut up! At least I’m trying!” Jessie shouts back at Spike.
“Jessie isn’t the best at video games.” Mihana giggled while helping Twilight with her homework
“Hey, at least he knows the correct way to hold a game controller, unlike someone…” Spike smirked.
“I Held it upside down, one time! ONE TIME! Let it go!” Twilight shouted back, as everyone started laughing.
Meanwhile, Quicktrap has remained in the same spot he’s been hiding in.
“Damnit…don’t these guys have anywhere else to be right now?” Quicktrap grumbles. While no one is looking, Quicktrap moves into the hallway and reforms into his into his humanoid form. “This is taking longer than I thought…and that annoys me.” Quicktrap thought to himself. “I could just talk them all out at once…Sparkle and her brat brother are easy targets, but the other two…I have no clue what their orbits are…and I risk trapping myself…damnit…I told them we should wait a little bit longer…wait a sec…where’s the big brother?” Quicktrap asked himself.
“Don’t. Move.” The voice of Shining armor said as he pointed his police gun at Quicktrap
“Never mind…” Quicktrap grumbles.
“One chance bub, who are you and what are you doing here?” Shinning Armor demanded. However, in a split second, Quicktrap spins around and kicks Shinning Armor hard, throwing him against the wall.
“shit…plan B then…” Quicktrap grunts and disappears in a puff of sand.
---
Jessie is the first to react to the sound of a crash.
“What was that?” Twilight asked as she and Mihana stand to their feet.
Jessie is the first to leap to his feet and race down the hall with Twilight and Mihana behind him.
"SHINNING!!!" Twilight screams upon seeing Shining Armor on the floor. Jessie runs over to him.
“is he?” a worried Mihana asked.
“He’s ok, just knocked out.” Jessie response.
"Twilight? What's going on?" a worried spike asked while peeking from the living room.
“Spike! Get back in the living room!” Twilight demanded while walking towards Spike. As Mihana looked around, Jessie stands back up,
“Mihana…we’re not alone…” Jessie says with a blank nervous look on his face. Mihana’s eyes widen upon realizing what Jessie meant.
Suddenly, a wall of sand explodes, sending Mihana and Jessie back into the living room.
“Wh-What the?!!” Twilight screams while holding on to Spike
“WHAT’ S HAPPENING!?!” Spike panicked.
Once everyone is in the living room, the sand reformed back into Quicktrap’s human form, upon seeing Quicktrap, Twilight gasps.
“YOU! You’re the guy who ran me over!” Twilight pointed out.
“what are you doing here?!” Mihana demanded.
“Look, I don’t want any trouble with you two, just hand over Sparkle and I’ll be on my way!” Quicktrap explained.
“Wh-what?! What does he want with me?!” Twilight asked herself.
“Your alil late for that pal! What do you want with Twilight?!” Jessie demanded while taking a fighting stance.
“I don’t need to explain myself to some punk with dip-shit hair!” Quicktrap spat.
Upon hearing the words ‘Dip-shit hair’ Jessie’s eyes burst into flames, “BASTARDO!!!” Jessie yells and charges at Quicktrap. Jessie lets loose a right hook towards Quicktrap, only for it to be blocked by a wall of thick sand. But this doesn't stop Jessie, as he lets loose another right hook, then left hook, a few jabs, and an uppercut. But each blow is blocked by a small shield made of sand.
"Heh, you're tough I'll give you that, but my defense is impenetrable," Quicktrap smirked as Jessie continued his assault.
While Quicktrap is busy with Jessie, Mihana pulls out her phone and quickly calls Hyde.
“Do you have any idea what time it is? You better be callin’ to say you’re on your way to the hotel!” Hyde yells over the phone.
“Uncle Hyde! We need help! We’re under attack!!” Mihana cried into her phone.
"Wait, what? Mihana, what's going on?! Mihana?!" Hyde yells
“Oh, no you don’t!” Quicktrap says as he shots sand from his fingertips, knocking Mihana’s phone out of her hand and bruising it.
“Mihana! Are you ok!” Twilight says while checking her hand.
“I-I’m fine…” Mihana grunts.
“No more games! You’re coming with me Sparkle!” Quicktrap yells and tries to rush at Twilight.
“Hey, Kitty Litter!” Jessie yells. Quicktrap turns towards Jessie, only to see a left hook fly straight at him, and slamming into his nose. “Heh, wide open with your chin down, my kinda target!” Jessie smiles.
“GAH!!!” Quicktrap groans as he’s sent flying back into the wall with a bloodied nose. “Grr…You son of a bitch!” Quicktrap growls.
----
“Mihana! MIHANA!!!” Hyde yells into his phone, trying to get an answer.
“What’s wrong?!” Blaster asks while rushing into the hotel room.
“Damn it, the kids are in trouble, get the Triggers, we’re going now!” Hyde commands.
"RIGHT!" Blaster says as he heads to a large truck under his bed. There, he takes two ring-like devices, one sliver the other white. Blaster takes the white ring while throwing the silver ring to Hyde.
“LET’S GO!” Hyde calls and races out the door.
“RIGHT BEHIND YOU!” Blaster yells while running after Hyde just as storm clouds were forming outside.
----
Jessie is thrown onto the coffee table, breaking it in the process. Quicktrap stands over him, panting heavily.
“I’ve just about had enough of you!” Quicktrap grunts.
All the while, Mihana, Twilight and Spike hide behind the sofa.
“Twilight, what are we going to do?!” Spike panicked
“I…I don’t know…Mihana…who is this guy?! What does he want with me?!” Twilight asked
"An orbit user…and it's strange, we should have been able to sense him sooner…what's going on?" Mihana softly says. Mihana looks around and sees the door is unguarded. "This way," Mihana whispers while taking Twilight and Spike by the hand and slowly moving towards the doorway.
"Going somewhere?!" Quicktrap yells while not only blocking the doorway but also trapping the three in a pit of sand.
“TWILIGHT! HELP!” Spike screams while trying to get free.
As the girls try to get free, Jessie stands back up and takes out device Hyde has given him earlier. Jessie takes the device and places it on his wrist. But as soon as Jessie is on his feet, Jessie sees that he too is in a sand pit.
"Thought you could escape huh? Well, no one gives Quicktrap the slip!" Quicktrap grunts to Twilight and Mihana. "As for you!" Quicktrap turns to Jessie as sand slowly crawls up his body. "I should have done this in the first place!" Quicktrap spats as sand completely cover Jessie.
“JESSIE!” Mihana screams.
“It’s over for you punk! Sand…COFFIN!” Quicktrap yells as the sand on Jessie forms into solid rock and slowly begins to crush Jessie. “Heh, bye-bye turd!” Quicktrap smirks.
Suddenly, a loud crash is heard as huge cracks appear in the rock sand.
“Wh-What the?!!” A dumbfound Quicktrap yells.
“DORARARARARARARARARARARARA!!!" Jessie yells out as a fury of punches break apart the rock until there is nothing left and Jessie is free. Once Jessie is free, everyone, except for Mihana, is shocked to see Jessie's sudden change in appearance. Jessie now wears a red armored bodysuit, his helmet looks similar to a stag beetle but with a single horn on his forehead. And as shown on his chest plate and shoulder pads, is the image of a bullet with a sinister smile.
Spike’s jaw drops and eye widen as he soon makes a sudden realization. “Twilight! That’s him! From G.O. Force! That’s him! CRAZY BULLET!” Spike shouts.
“I…No way!” a speechless twilight gasps.
“Aw SHIT! NOBODY SAID ANYTHING ABOUT G.O. FORCE!!!" a terrified Quicktrap screams.
Once freed, Jessie pops his neck and cracks his knuckles. “Now…” he says while looking towards Quicktrap. “What did you say about my hair?!” Jessie yells as the eyes on his helmet glow bright red, spikes form on Jessie’s knuckles and the horn splits into two.
“Now Jessie…don’t overdo it.” Mihana calmly says to her boyfriend.
In the blink of an eye, Jessie leaps towards Quicktrap, ready to strike him.
"CRAP!" Quicktrap tries to block with his sand wall, only for Jessie's fists to break through them. "SHIIIIIIT!!!!" Quicktrap cries out.
“DORARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARA!!!!” Jessie cries out as another barrage of fists and punches pummel Quicktrap, with the last one sending Quicktrap flying through the wall and into the hallway. Quicktrap tries to get back on his feet as fast as he can.
"Damn it! Damn it! This is bad! This is Bad!" a panicked Quicktrap cried out. Once Quicktrap is on his feet, he glares at Jessie, who is standing over him. “I-I-I’ll show you…I’ll show you not to mess with ME!!!” Quicktrap yells as he leaps towards Jessie as his right arm forms into a giant sand fist, only to be stopped but a sudden left hook. “GAH!!” Quicktrap grunts as he’s sent flying down the hall.
Jessie looks over to the side and sees Hyde and Blaster at the doorway.
“You guys are in so much trouble!” Hyde yells. As Mihana, Twilight and Spike watch from the newly made hole in the wall.
“Hyde! Blaster! About time you guys!” Jessie said to them.
“Wait…Blaster? As in…” Spike thought to himself.
Before Hyde could say anything, Blaster sees Quicktrap getting back up.
“Looks like sandy isn’t done yet.” Blaster comments.
"Let's do it then," Hyde said while taking out his Orb and the sliver ring-like device, as Blaster does the same.
Hyde and Blaster place their Orbs in a small slot of the devices,
“TRIGGER ON!”
a computer proclaims on both Hyde’s and Blaster’s devices. once inside, the Orbs move to the center of the ring and lights up, as a secondary belt-like device appears on their waists.
"Ready?!" Hyde asks while holding up his silver ring.
“Ready!” Blaster replies while also holding up his white ring.
“ORB SPARK!”
“ORB SPARK!”
Both Hyde and Blaster say while swiping their Ring devices over their belts. The rings soon begin flashing Hyde’s and Blaster respective colors as they then hold them up to their chests. Suddenly a beam of light surrounds Hyde and Blaster.
“ORB SPARK! THUNDERING MIGHT!!!”
“ORB SPARK! SHOOT SHOOT BLAST!!!”
The rings announce as Hyde and Blaster soon appear in their armored Bodysuits. Hyde's wears silver armor that is designed to look like Norse god of thunder Thor, complete with a large Warhammer. While Blaster wears white armor with dark gray outlines throughout his body, His element is shown to have a bycoket cap, making his appearance like Robin Hood.
Twilight and Spike stand speechless with their jaws dropped upon seeing Hyde and Blaster’s transformation.
“OH. My. GOD!!! IT’S THUNDER FIST AND ‘THE’ BLASTER!!! TWILIGHT, IT’S REALLY G.O. FORCE!!!” Spike cried out while geeking out a little. As Twilight remained speechless.
“Hey! Where’s my Trigger?!” Mihana cried out.
"Sorry, but we were in a hurry," Blaster responded.
“that’ll teach you to always have it with you.” Hyde scolded.
“But you gave Jessie his!” Mihana whined.
“You really want Jessie to have his Guardian Trigger with him ‘ALL’ the time?!” Hyde asked Mihana.
Mihana opens her mouth to answer but quickly pauses. "Yea…good point…" he sighs.
“Uh, I’m right here ya know…” an offended Jessie commented.
"Shut your trap, it's GO time," Hyde said as he, Blaster and Jessie took a battle stance just as Quicktrap recovers.
“Teme…” Quicktrap grunts he fires a spread of sand bullets at the trio.
“DORARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARA!!!!” Jessie yells as he deflects the sand bullets with a fury of punches as Hyde swats a few away with his hammer.
"Keep him, busy guys, I'll hit him with the old ‘one hit wonder'" Blaster says as he flips a switch on his bow, changing it into a crossbow.
“GEAR CHANGE!!!”
A computer voice announces. Blaster takes the ring trigger and swipes it over his belt
“ORB CHARGE!!!”
The Trigger proclaims as the crossbow begins to glow a bright white light. With it, Blaster fires off a large rapid fire of emeralds shards. The Shards pummel Quicktrap, once again sending him through the wall and into outside just as a rainstorm was in the process.
Once outside, Quicktrap reverts to his original flesh and blood form.
“Damn it all! How did all this go south so quickly?!!” Quicktrap grumbles while trying to crawl away.
“Going somewhere punk?” Hyde yells out as he, Blaster and Jessie walk over to him.
“Didn’t really think this plan out really good, did ya pigpen?” Blaster asks
Hyde grabs Quicktrap by his collar and held him up, almost lifting him up off the ground. “Who are you?” Hyde demanded.
"Ta-Take it, easy man! I-It's just a job!" Quicktrap pleaded.
"Then why don't you tell us who hired you, and why you guys want Twilight," Jessie asked.
“where did you get your orbit?! Was it that Orbit gun? Like the others?!” Hyde yelled
Quicktrap panicked as he thought of what to do next. With the rain soaking his body, he was unable to turn into sand and attack or even escape, thus leaving him at the mercy of the trio before him. All the while, Mihana, Twilight and Spike watched from inside the house, with Spike taking pictures with his phone.
“This is so cool! Right Twilight?” Spike happily exclaimed.
“uh…y-yea…” Twilight said with a nervous smiled while looking at Mihana, who simply shrugged
“Quit Stalling! And Talk already!” Hyde yelled while shaking Quicktrap.
Quicktrap was freaking out as he tried to think of a way out of his current predicament. “Crap, Crap! How do I get out of this?!” He thought to himself.
Suddenly the rain soon stopped, and the sun shined through the clouds. As the sun shined down, Quicktrap felt his body dry up from the rain. With this opening, Quicktrap smirked and quickly turned into a small dust devil and made his escape.
“Damn it…” Hyde grunted.
“Who was that guy?” Blaster asked Jessie
“Called himself Quicktrap, he said he was after Twilight for some reason.”
“He was after Twilight you say? Huh…” Hyde said as he thought.
Mihana sighed a breath of relief, “It’s over.”
“Wow…” Spike gasped. “That…Was…AWESOME!!!” he cheered.
“Oy…” Twilight rolled her eyes at Spike’s reaction. Suddenly, Twilight’s phone starts to go off, “Hello?” She answers “Oh, uh Hey M-mom What’s…You’re on your way home?...be in a few minutes?!!...N-no I don’t sound surprised…just…excited that’s all” Twilight nervously smiled. “Ok…ok…cya when you get here…love you too…bye.” Twilight hung up her phone and looked around the house. “GAH! MY MOM’S COMING AND WHEN SHE SEES THIS!!!...I’m so dead.” Twilight panicked.
"Quit your whining, we got this," Hyde said while picking up the still unconscious Shinning Armor with Blaster’s help. “Twi, you and Spike go take look out for your mom. We’ll handle everything here.”
“But…But…” Twilight shuddered.
“Twilight, it’s ok. Trust us.” Mihana said while smiling and placing a hand on Twilight’s shoulder.
Twilight, still unsure, sighed and nodded. “Come on spike.” She said as she walked out the door, with the confused spike following her.
Once Twilight and Spike leave, Hyde turns to Jessie. “Jessie…you know what to do.”
Jessie nods as his fist begins to glow a bright crimson color.
-----
Twilight and Spike wait down by the corner of their house for their mother, while also trying to figure out how to tell Velvet what had happened.
“Twilight! Look!” Spike called while tapping Twilight’s arm
Twilight look ahead and saw her mother walking towards them, Both Twilight and Spike swallowed hard and ran towards Velvet.
"Hey, you two, crazy storm we had, huh?" Velvet smiled.
“Uh, y-yea…you could…say that.” Twilight nervously responses.
“Yea, ‘Crazy’” Spike nervously smiled as well.
Velvet notices the worried and nervous looks on Twilight’s and Spikes face and raises an eyebrow.
“what’s up with you two? You act like you just burn down the house.” She says
Twilight’s and Spike’s eyes widen from Velvet’s comment.
"O-of course not mom! I mean, we'd never do anything to the house." Twilight nervously laughs
“Yea… ‘we’ won’t.” Spike quietly mumbles. Twilight than elbows Spike in the stomach. “OH!” he yells.
“Well, let’s get going.” Velvet smirked and began walking towards the house.
“UH! WAIT!” Spike yells “uh…wh-why rush? Why don’t we just, uh…take a stroll around the neighborhood…like we…use too?” Spike smiled.
“Yea! Let’s do that.” Twilight smiled.
“No thanks. I’ve been on my feet all day, I need some rest.” Velvet smiled and continued walking.
Twilight and Spike quickly try to think of something to stop Velvet.
“Aw, come on mom. Nothing says relaxing like fresh air.” Twilight said to her.
“Maybe later, your brother probably has dinner ready.” Velvet replied.
“Oh, come on, it's Shining Armor's cooking we're talking about. Why don't we just go eat out?" Spike commented.
“Spike-kun! That’s rude to say about your brother! now enough foolishness and let’s go home.” Velvet demanded and walked off, turning the corner leading to their house.
Defeated, and with an overwhelming feeling of dread over them, Twilight and Spike slowly followed their mother.
“Mom…I just want to let you know…We’re both sorry about the house.” Twilight said
“Why? I don’t see anything wrong with the house.” Velvet replied.
"Huh?" both Twilight and Spike say as they look at the house. "HUH?!!!" they both yell as they see the house has been completely repaired as if they were no damage to it at all.
“Yep, looks about the same as I felt it.” Velvet said as she walked up to the front door and walked in.
-----
Twilight and Spike followed close behind their mother inside and were even more dumbfounded. Inside they saw that the walls were fine. Not a single hint of a fight was seen.
“But…How?” a dumbfounded Twilight asked herself.
“wow Jes, Spike was right…you do suck.” Shinning Armor said while in the other room.
“SHUT UP!” Jessie yelled out of frustration.
Upon hearing Shinning Armor's voice, Twilight, and Spike rush into the living room to see a wide-awake Shinning Armor, sitting in his lounger, while Jessie is playing the video game from earlier. Twilight and Spike especially take notices that Jessie is back to wearing his normal clothes. Across from them, was Mihana setting the table for dinner.
"Hey, mom!" Shinning Armor called out
"Oh, Good evening Mrs. Twilight and welcome home," Mihana said while bowing to Velvet.
“Why, Hello their Mihana-Chan and you too Jessie-kun.” Velvet smiled.
“Hey Mrs. T” Jessie smiled while putting the game on pause.
A still dumbfounded Twilight and Spike looked around with confusion.
“What’s up with you two?” Shinning Armor asked.
"Uh…Shiny…are…are you ok?" Twilight asked meekly.
“Yea, why?” Shinning Armor asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Well,…it's just…you were…uh…" Spike began to say but quickly stopped when both he and Twilight saw Mihana and Jessie making a grim face while holding a finger up to their closed lips. "Uh…Never mind." Spike smiled.
“Uh huh…” Shinning Armor replied.
“What are you doing?!” Blaster calls from the kitchen. “That’s too much salt! That’s not the recipe”
“Shut up! I know what I’m doing!” Hyde yelled back.
“I’m Telling ya, you’re going to ruin it.” Blaster whined.
"Will you calm your tits! It's just stew." Hyde replied while bringing out a large bowl of beef stew to the table.
"Stew you're going to ruin…" Blaster mumble while bringing out bread rolls.
“what was that?” Hyde asked with a sharp look on his face.
“Nothing~” Blaster replied a coy look on his face.
"Ahem…" Mihana called out to Hyde and Blaster, who was unaware that Velvet was watching them.
“Oh! Mrs. Twilight! We didn’t see you there. How was your day?” Blaster smiled.
“I’m Fine, I have to say, I wasn’t expecting to see you two here.” Velvet said.
“Well, we picked up Twi from School, did the shopping and then came here. We noticed Shining Armor was tried so we decided to help with cooking." Hyde said as he pulled out a chair for Velvet.
"Oh, How thoughtful." Velvet said while taking a seat at the table.
“It’s the least we can do for dropping in on you so suddenly.” Mihana happily smiled.
Velvet smiled as she began to eat her stew, "Hey this isn't too bad." She smiled and ate more while Shining Armor soon joined her.
"Thank you, Old family recipe," Hyde said while giving Blaster a smug look. Blaster rolls his eyes in response.
While everyone was around the table, Twilight and Spike stood still, completely confused by the fact that everyone was acting normal, as if Quicktrap’s attack didn’t happen.
“Well, it’s getting pretty late, we all should be heading back to the Hotel.” Blaster said.
“yep, Mihana, Jessie. Let’s Roll.” Hyde said as he headed towards the door.
“See you later Mrs. Twilight.” Mihana waved.
“Cya” Jessie said as he followed Mihana.
“Twilight, Spike, why don’t you walk our guest out?” Velvet said to the still awestruck siblings.
“H-Huh?...uh…su-sure…” Twilight shuddered while walking to the door.
“But…But…But…” the still dumbfounded Spike said until Twilight grabs him by the arm and drags him out of the room.
----
Once outside, Hyde turns to Jessie and Mihana.
"That was way too close," Hyde said to Jessie.
“Sorry boss. I would have gotten him sooner if I had only sensed him in time.” Jessie responded.
“Wait, he was in the house and you still didn’t sense him?” Hyde asked
Jessie and Mihana nodded to Hyde.
"Just like Fluttershy." Blaster said. "Who knows how many orb enhanced are in this town."
"and if we can't sense them than there must be something big going on here," Hyde said while thinking.
"We need to be extra careful," Mihana says, but before she can say anything more, Twilight rushes in.
“HOLD EVERYTHING!” Twilight yells while catching everyone off guard.
"WHAT WAS ALL THAT?! THE HOUSE?! SHINY?! WHAT?!!!" Twilight screamed until Mihana covers her mouth.
“TWILIGHT! It’s ok, Look. I chanced Shinning Armor’s memories, so he won’t remember that fight.” Mihana explained.
"Wait…you…" Twilight says as she grew to the size of melons.
“It’s part of my Orbit. I can alter the thoughts and memories of others around me…” Mihana said as she looked down. “I’m sorry, I…I didn’t mean to do it without permission…I just didn’t want you to get into any trouble.”
“No, No. It’s ok. I understand. Really.” Twilight smiled. Mihana returned with a weak smile of her face.
“Ok, so I get how you brainwashed Shinning, but how did you fix the house?” Spike asked.
“Oh, that was me.” Jessie flatly said.
“YOU?!” both Twilight and Spike asked in shock.
“Yea, why?” Jessie asked while scratching his nose.
“But…But…the house was a wreck…how-how…did you…” a stunned Twilight asked before being stopped by Hyde.
“Sorry, but you’re going to have to hold your questions until tomorrow. We gotta get going."
“Oh, and one more thing.” Blaster said before walking over to Spike and taking his phone.
“HEY!” Spike yelled while trying to get his phone back. “Give it!”
“Don’t act innocent, I know you were taking pictures.” Blaster said as he went through Spike’s phone and deleting all the picture of the Hyde, Blaster, and Jessie in their armored bodysuits.
“But how am I going to tell my friends that G.O. Force was at my house?” Spike whined.
“yea, that’s the thing…” Hyde said while walking towards Spike. “G.O. Force wasn’t at your house. There was no fight at your house. There were no Orbit users at your house. You. Saw. Nothing…Got it?”
“But. But. But.” Spike whined before both Hyde and Blaster gave him a grim stare down. “O-ok…” Spike said while looking down in defeat.
Twilight pats Spike on the head. “It’s probably for the best Spike.”
“Yea…I guess…” Spike mumbled.
After saying their goodbyes. Hyde, Blaster, Mihana, and Jessie left to return to the hotel, all the while Hyde scolded Jessie and Mihana for being late.
----
Elsewhere, Quicktrap reformed his body and leaned against a wall, completely out of breath.
“Damn it…DAMN IT!” Quicktrap yelled while pounding the wall with his fist.
“What happened?!” a voice shouted. Quicktrap looked over to his side to see it was the same person he was talking to earlier in the day. “Where’s Sparkle?” the person asked.
“There was…an issue…” Quicktrap replied.
“What Issue?” another voice called out.
Quicktrap looked around to see he was surrounded by a group of people.
“Those…visitors…They were members of G.O. Force…” Quicktrap said while talking a sit on the ground.
“WHAT?! G.O. FORCE IS HERE?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!!” one of the members of the group yelled.
"That's to be expected…with all the activity we've been doing, they were bound to show up eventually." Another member flatly says.
“I don’t think so…” Quicktrap commented.
“what do you mean?”
“I don’t know…it’s like they didn’t know I had an Orbit until I revealed myself…I mean, even when I tagged Sparkle, they still didn’t notice my Orbit.” Quicktrap explained. “I thought Orbit users were supposed to sense other Orbit users.”
“They are…” an older voice said.
The group spread apart as an older gentleman walked up the Quicktrap.
“But the fact that they couldn’t sense you might give us an advantage.”
“I would have taken them if YOU had given me a trigger!” Quicktrap spat at the gentleman.
“and I told you to be patient! With your powers, it’s becoming difficult to make stable armor for you.” The gentlemen replied.
“Of course! That makes so much sense.” One of the members said in a happy tone, but suddenly in a low growl, “Only cuz you give us crappy bootlegs…”
“SILENCE!” the gentleman yelled, forcing everyone, including Quicktrap, to stand at attention. “Don’t forget, who gave you all your Orbits.” He says to them while showing the group a Colt 1851 Navy Revolver. “Don’t forget your places. ALL of you.”
“Yes Professor.” The whole group said in unison.
The gentlemen sighed. “Still, even if G.O. Force can’t sense us, they’re still a threat. All of you. Stay focused and don’t bring attention to yourselves.” He commanded.
"Yes Professor." The group said again, before leaving, all except for one.
“Sir…I…I was thinking…with G.O. Force here…maybe…maybe we don’t have to go with the plan…maybe…we could- “
“Dear Child,” The gentleman while holding up the young person’s chin with his fingers. “Don’t forget, it was I who saved you and your sibling from the slums. What would G.O. Force want from a person like you? Now, do as your told and stick with the group.” The Gentleman said before leaving.
“so, what now?” a voice called out as Rainbow Dash stepped out of the shadows.
“I for one…am tired of his bullshit…” the young person said while stepping out of the shadows, revealing to be a young woman with vivid orange hair with light brilliant amber stripes. She grips her Orb with an image of a yellow lightning Bolt in it. She walks away with Rainbow Dash walking behind her. “Come on Dash, I’m tired of waiting. G.O. Force will help us…either they want to or not…”
