Lightning got some food from passing peddlers with bread and food carts, and Krysta snacked on bugs that came into the tree. Still, the two of them were growing very bored and irritable, but they still couldn’t lose sight of Zecora. If she got away, they’d never find her again. Lightning even took moments to come into the hospital and ask, “Is she doing any better?” to which he would get the same reply, “She’ll wake up when she’s ready.” Some of the staff was getting pretty annoyed with this, so Lightning stopped asking them. “Come on, Zecora. Please wake up!” he would mutter to himself. Meanwhile, at the prison tower, The Sirens gathered the minions before them. “The time has come.” said Adagio “We’ve perfected our magic and singing.” “Now only can our singing control objects, it can be used to battle as well.” added Aria. The Sirens demonstrated by singing and humming. Adagio levitated one of the Lingos way up, up, and then dropped down hard on the floor. Aria and Sonata fired powerful lightning like blasts from their very voices, straight at three more Lingos, blowing them into ashes. The minions all winced in astonishment. “Amazing!” exclaimed Bronc. “Incredible!” added Keto. The Sirens stopped singing, but they suddenly looked a little woozy. “Are you okay?” asked Marla. The girls straightened themselves up. “We’re all right.” said Adagio “This is one small side-effect we have with these new powers.” Aria rubbed her eyes “It can affect our energy flow, which is why; we will need to find stable source of energy and power to keep us stable.” “Like… energy from the humans.” added Sonata. Marla thought it over and she had an idea.“I think I know just the humans we can use.” (Que Intro) Another day at the hospital for Sunset… She checked up on patients to see that they were comfortable and tended to. She read stories to children, filed reports for all the doctors and nurses. Dr. Penny even allowed her to assist with checkups she gave to other patients, especially children who were scared of coming to the doctor, especially for immunization shots. “Oh, it’s okay…” Sunset would say, “There’s no need to be scared. It may pinch for a second, but it’s really good for you.” Her words soothed the child so well that the little girl didn’t even feel the needle prick her. “There, all done.” said Penny. “Wow!” cried the little girl. Penny and Sunset smiled, and the happy little girl skipped off. “Well, that was the last one.” said Penny “Thanks for your help Sunset.” Sunset nodded with a smile, but then her features changed, “Um… I know I ask this a lot, but…” Penny gave her a concerned look, and soon they were both in the room of Sunset’s comatose friends, and Penny checked on their conditions. Their pulses were fine, and their blood flows were slow, but that was natural. They just still weren’t conscious, and it had been five whole months since they were first knocked out. Penny was checking Rarity’s heartbeat. “Hmm…” she said with slight enthusiasm. “What is it?” asked Sunset. “I think they’ll wake up any time now.” replied Penny. Sunset’s heart gave a leap. “Really?!” she cried softly. Penny nodded, “Come here…” and she then offered Sunset to listen. “Wow…” Sunset murmured as she heard Rarity’s heart beating strong and steadily. “That’s the sound of a good healthy heart.” said Penny “When you hear that sound it means the patient is doing really fine.” “That is so neat.” said Sunset. Penny smiled, “Hey, why don’t you check all of them.” Sunset found this all most exciting, and rather fun, the most she ever had at the hospital before. She checked the hearts of all her friends, and they were all good and strong. She even looked at the blood pressures. “Diastolic elevation: below normal, not by too much. Systolic pressure: normal.” Penny smiled and nodded at her “You sure seem to know all this stuff, Sunset.” “Well, I’ve been watching you and the other doctors and nurses closely.” Penny did take notice of this ever since Sunset first began her volunteer work, and had been watching her closely. “Sunset… have you ever thought of being a doctor yourself?” “Huh?” said Sunset. She had never thought of that before, “To be honest, I never actually thought what I’d ever be. I never had time to think of it either.” She thought of it deeply, and she began to imagine herself all-grown up, and as a doctor, giving checkups to children, tending to those who were sick, and what was more she had a little of her magic to help heal those who were hurt. dakari-king-mykan.deviantart.c… She couldn’t stop smiling at the idea. “Well, if you’re ever interested, I could take you on a work-student, and help you study.” Penny offered. Sunset agreed to think about it and would talk about it with the others. Meanwhile, in Africa, Lightning was finding it harder and harder to stay awake, and Krysta… she had already fallen asleep in the tree, and she didn’t notice inside the room of the hospital was empty…! Zecora was not in her bed! The nurse came along to check on her and found this as well. “Oh! Oh, goodness!” she cried, and she went off to alert the staff, and her voice through the open window woke Krysta up. “Huh? What the…?” She then could see and hear the people talking inside. “Gone?! She can’t have gone.” “She’s not here, and no one saw her leave.” Krysta flew right out of the tree and over to where Lightning was napping under a tree across from the hospital. “Lightning…! Lightning!” she squawked, and she pecked at him a bit, waking him up in an instant. “Krysta, what are you…!” “She’s gone!” cried Krysta “Zecora’s gone!” “What…?!” Lightning snapped as he bolted upright, and he would have dashed to the hospital, but Krysta already told him, “The doctors don’t know where she is either.” “UGH!!” Lightning growled, and he felt ready to yank his hair out of his head “Idiot!” he grumbled to himself. “We blew it!” groaned Krysta “All that waiting for nothing.” Lightning angrily pounded the tree with his fist, and a small slip of paper that was stuck to the tree with a small needle was knocked loose and fell into his arms. “What’s this?” Krysta fluttered onto his should, “It looks like a small set of directions.” They both looked at the small paper, which showed a small map leading away from the hospital, out of the village and into the plains, and finally stopping at what looked like a great big rock in a very lonely and barren place. “Who left this here?” Lightning wondered. “Do you think… it was for us to find?” asked Krysta. Lightning had no clue, until he looked at the back of the paper which was marked with a great big Z. Lightning and Krysta were both in a mix of thoughts. Could Zecora have left it for them? There was only one way to find out…! They soon set out across the trail to the outback, following the map exactly, but then came to an area where they were supposed to turn and head off the road, the plain ahead looked rough and badly uneven; not safe to drive on or an accident would happen. “Guess I better get out and walk.” said Lightning. Krysta agreed, and hopped onto his shoulder as he started across the plain. The evening sun began to beat down on Lightning, and he felt hot and sweaty. “I’m beginning to think this was a bad idea.” groaned Krysta. “Speak for yourself.” said Lightning. He checked the map again, “That big rock should be around here somewhere.” Then suddenly, “Whoop…!” he found it, by tripping over it. Krysta fluttered in midair, “I think you found it.” Lightning could only groan. At least they had found the rock, “But what happens now?” asked Lightning. Krysta didn’t know, and there were no instructions or anything on the map, and here they were in a lonely place far from the town. “Great! Just great!” groaned Lightning “I think we’ve been tricked.” Just then, his foot hit something on the ground near the rock. It was a small metal chain. “What’s that for?” asked Krysta. Lightning didn’t answer, but just pulled on the chain and saw that it was attached to, what appeared to be, a trap door that opened wide to a secret underground place. Before Lightning and Krysta could think or react, someone called out to them from inside… “Enter dis place you may, But tell no one of dis secret way.” “That voice!” cried Lightning. “Those rhymes!” added Krysta. Not wasting another second, Krysta hopped on Lightning’s shoulder, and Lightning crawled in through the door, which was a giant slide that he slid down, slamming the door shut on the way, and he landed softly on a soft pile of cushions. They found they were in a deep burrow, perfectly decked with candles and lanterns to light up the place. There was a ting-a-ling sound of beads hanging on the walls and the opening from the slide. There was also a huge cauldron in the center of the room along with shelf-after-shelf of books, parchment, and jars of strange and mysterious things-- mostly powders and liquids, and even more vials of that black hair tonic Kasko had mistaken for oil. …And there SHE was, sitting at a table with some fresh tea and biscuits prepared. “Zecora…” said Lightning. “Yes, I am, just the same. Who are you? What is your name?” “I’m Lightning Dawn. I’m the Cosmic Comet Ranger. You and I have crossed paths before.” He held out the knife she had given him, which made her realize he was the one she had helped back in the jungle, but also the same guy she had helped years ago when he was bitten by that snake. She nursed him back to health, and then helped him track down the bad guys he was after. “I remember you also helped me, And even though I could not see I could hear your every word, …of you and your little bird.” Krysta’s eyes budged, “You know I can talk?” Zecora nodded, “This to no one I shall tell, For you have helped me to get well” She explained herself for all this secrecy… That many sought her out, asking for her help. They were usually men of greed and wickedness, only seeking to find treasures and riches, and ways to gain power. Some of these men even threatened to kill her if she didn’t help them. Poor Zecora knew she couldn’t go on like this. Fortunately she found the burrow they were in now, and was able to convert it into a secret home, away from crowds and she could be in peace, and only lend her services to those who were truly deserving of it. When she snuck out of the hospital, she knew Lightning and Krysta were waiting for her, needing her help. So she scribbled the little map for them to find her secret place. “You have proven most indeed, you do not seek my wisdom in greed. Come and tell me… …While he eat and have tea.” Lightning and Krysta were astonished, and they sat down to the tea and snacks, and Lightning explained to her his needs. “Evil aliens from another dimension have invaded our world. We’ve been trying to locate their secret lair so we can stop them for good.” Krysta nodded and added, “Our computers and tech can’t pinpoint the alien tower, so we thought maybe you could help us find it.” Zecora sat silently with her eyes closed. “Are you all right?” asked Lightning. Zecora didn’t answer. What she was really doing was sensing his heart deep within, and suddenly she opened her eyes and smiled proudly. “What your heart is speaking is true. If it means to save the world, I will help you.” “Yes!!” Lightning and Krysta exclaimed softly. Little did any of them realize that not too far away from the spot, as the sun set, someone was approaching Lightning’s parked jet, and his shadow in the moonlight resembled that of afamiliar, monstrous shape,and he snickered wickedly. Meanwhile, Sunset was still working when the gang dropped by. “Hey, Sunset.” said Buddy “We were passing by and thought you’d want to come out for lunch.” “I wish I could, but we’re a little short-staffed here today. Most of the nurses and doctors haven’t come in yet.” replied Sunset “Eh, it’s a slow day anyway, and they’re always on call and can be here quickly. …Besides, I’m actually studying now.” “Studying?” asked Rainbow “Studying what?” Sunset told the others, not only about their friends waking up soon, but the idea Dr. Penny suggested to her. “I think it’s a great idea.” said Fluttershy “I think you could be a great doctor.” Rhymey agreed, “You are kind gentle, like a doctor should be, And you’re willing to help out others, see?” Sunset smiled, and it was becoming easier to make up her mind. Suddenly, there was a sound of an ambulance rushing in, and two paramedics, one man and one woman, came rushing in with someone on a stretcher. “We need some help here!” shouted the man. “Whoa!” cried Sunset, and she sounded the silent alert for someone to come quickly. Until then, having seen things like this before, she dashed up to the people, and asked, “What’s this one’s problem?” The two paramedics hesitated, “We… uh, found him hurt and unconscious… in an alley.” said the female. Doctor Penny heard this as she came in, and she lifted up the blankets on the stretcher to see the young, short stumpy man, indeed looked injured. “Where’s my staff when I need them!” Penny groaned, and then she enlisted help with the rangers. “Help me get him to the E.R!” The rangers all helped wheel the stretcher down the halls, leaving the paramedics to snicker to one another, as they were actually Marla and Bronc in human disguises, and Keto was the one driving the ambulance, while the real driver and the real paramedics were tied up and gagged in the ambulance as well. “This is going better than we planned.” chuckled Keto. His comrades agreed, “Now for the next step.” said Marla. “And the rangers will be far too distracted to do much to help out this time.” added Bronc. “Let’s go get what we came for.” A few other doctors and nurses saw the friends rushing down to the E.R with the patient and joined them all. “You’ll have to stay out here…” Dr. Penny called to the rangers. Even Sunset wasn’t allowed inside while they did their work. “Oh, I hope they can help that poor person.” said Fluttershy. The others all hoped so too. Inside, the team of nurses and doctors lifted the patient from the stretcher onto a bed. His injures looked really deep and extremely painful to the touch. The man groaned and whined painfully. “Get me 3 C.Cs of sedatives!” ordered Penny “We’ve got to numb his pain and let him rest so we can treat him.” “Yes, Doctor!” cried the nurse and she prepared a hyperemic needle, but before she could get it to Penny, the patient bolted upright, surprising everyone. “The only ones needed that will be all of you!” he growled, and then he transformed, revealing himself to be a monster. He was all black and blue, and looked all scabby and bruised, but that was his actual scaly skin, and he wore a big white coat, and had a doctor’s mirror band over his eye right eye. “Dr. Pain is in the house!” he snickered. The people screamed and panicked… Which alerted the rangers outside, and they rushed over to the E.R “What’s going on?” asked Buddy, but the doors burst wide open as the people dashed out and ran down the hall. “What the?!” snapped Rainbow The monster laughed, and alerted the team of his presence. “We’ve been tricked!” growled Sunset. Pain laughed at the rangers, “Time to take your medicine, Rangers!” and he held up a huge weapon, a kind of bazooka in the form of a giant hypodermic needle. “Say Aaaaa…!” The rangers all stood, feeling a little frightened, but suddenly, Dr. Penny crept up on the monster and slammed him hard with a bedpan, knocking him back and forcing him to shoot into the wall, blasting a huge hole to the outside. “This is a hospital!” Penny snarled, “I’ll not have you disturbing the other patients!” “Why you…!” the monster thundered, and kicked the wheeled-stretched right over her. “LOOK OUT!!” cried Fluttershy. Penny swerved, but the stretcher crashed into table of trays, sending all the tools on it flying, including the hypodermic full of sedative into the air… and the needle landed straight into Penny’s shoulder! The rangers all gasped. “Hey! Are you okay?” called Rhymey. “Does this LOOK okay to you?” sneered Penny, and she pulled the needle out of her. “This is going to put me out for… I’d say eight hours.” “Eight hours?!” cried Sunset “But you can’t…! The other patients need you!” Dr. Pain laughed wickedly, “Aw, that’s just too bad, because this doc has an appointment… with destruction of the city!” and he bolted out the hole in the wall and headed into town. “We’ve gotta go after him!” said Buddy. The other rangers agreed, but Dr. Penny suddenly began to drop off due to the sedatives taking effect on her. “Dr. Penny!” cried Sunset, but Penny was already way out like a light. Not even an earthquake could awaken her after the shot she had taken. Sunset lifted her up and lay her down on another stretcher bed, and covered her warmly with the blankets. “This is bad!” said Sunset “The hospital’s understaffed, and we’ve got patients that need tending to. I can’t just leave here, not right now.” The rangers realized her problem, and so Buddy suggested, “You stay here and try to contact the hospital staff. We’ll go take care of the monster.” Before Sunset could respond, the other rangers dashed out through the hole in the wall and chased after pain. At first, Sunset was stunned, but she shook herself back to her senses, and the first thing she did was call up Celesto at the base and informed him of the situation. “We’re short-staffed here, and there are other patients that need tending to.” “Calm down, Sunset.” Celesto said to her “Use the hospital’s emergency-code to contact all the other doctors and nurses. I can send you a few of our Doctors from the base, but you need to help look after things until they arrive. Once that’s done, join the other rangers at once.” “Right.” agreed Sunset. She dashed to reception and contacted as many of the doctors and nurses she could, but it would still be a short while before any of them would arrive. Even when Celesto’s team arrived from the base, and with what little staff the hospital had. A patient was buzzing from his room. It was an elderly man who was having a heart-attack, and all the other doctors were already bustling about tending to other patients and wouldn’t be able to answer to the call. Sunset knew she was given strict orders to go and help the other rangers, but knowing a man was in serious trouble and no one else could help him, she dashed down the halls for the old-man’s room, and she could see he was indeed struggling while clutching his chest… finally he passed out! “Whoa!” Sunset cried “Okay, okay! Don’t panic! You’ve seen this before.” She proceeded towards the elderly man, and began to press down hard on his chest with her hands, “One, Two! One, Two…!” she did that several times, and then she listened for the man’s breathing through his nose. He was starting to breathe, and it looked as if he was fine, but to make doubly sure, and remembering what Dr. Penny had told her…! She grabbed a stethoscope that was hanging from the wall, and listened to the man’s heartbeat. It was slow to start, but began to pick up, and it was beating as strong and steady for a healthier heart. Sunset sighed in relief, and the man looked up at her, and though he was weary from his ordeal and couldn’t see he was merely addressing a volunteer due to his blurry vision, he smiled at her and said wearily “Thank you …Doctor.” Sunset couldn’t believe what she had just done, it felt so frightening, yet at the same time it felt so incredible! But she had no time to endure this, especially not when someone else down the hall was calling, “Help! Help me!” Sunset raced out of the old-man’s room, and came into another room where a young boy whom had two broken legs had fallen out of bed due to his support harnesses breaking loose. He was cry in extreme pain, which told Sunset his legs had hit the floor hard. “Take it easy now, I’ll help you.” and she helped the boy get back into bed, but he was still crying and screaming in pain. “It hurts! It hurts!!” he wailed. Sunset remembered seeing what Dr. Penny did in this situation too. She grabbed a hypodermic and filled it with a clear liquid that she knew was a pain killer. “This is will make you feel better, I promise.” she said to the boy, and she gave him the shot. In almost no time, the pain killers worked and the boy settle down as he felt the pain going away. “I did it again.” Sunset said to herself with astonishment in her eyes. Then would you believe, there was yet another call down the hall for help. Sunset went to see to it too… Meanwhile, the monster began to terrorize the town by firing his hypo-cannon all over, making explosions-- blowing holes in the streets, holes in more buildings, and even knocking some of the people off their feet. The monster laughed at all the destruction he was causing, “Looks like some people forgot to pay their medical bills.” he joked, but he suddenly got blasted from behind, “What the…?” He turned and saw the four rangers, morphed, and holding their weapons out. Buddy assumed the role of team-leader in Sunset’s absence. “Your little destructive binge ends here.” he sneered at the monster. Pain laughed, “Well, I’m run out of patience, so I’ll summon my nurses!” by nurses, he meant Lingos, which were actually wearing funny pink aprons and nurse caps. “Give these sick rangers their medicine. Attack…!” “Ugh! They never quit do they.” groaned Rainbow. “Let’s take ‘em!” shouted Buddy, and he and the rangers leapt into action, and wielding their weapons strongly, they managed to make short work of the Lingos, but it gave the monster the opening he needed, “This won’t hurt a bit…” he teased as he fired his cannon at the rangers, making a big explosion and knocking them about, “It hurts a lot!” Rhymey groaned as he sat upright, “Please say, Is everyone okay?” “We’re fine…” said Fluttershy “But he’s sure tougher than he looks.” “Where’s Sunset already?” complained Rainbow. Buddy wondered this too, and contacted the base. “Have you managed to contact her?” “She’s still at the hospital, I was just about to call her again.” replied Twilight, and she switched off the radio to call up Sunset. Celesto, not knowing of the situation, was growing cross with Sunset. “I gave her specific instructions.” he grumbled. “Uh-oh…” said Spike “…Sounds like someone’s in trouble.” Sunset had just finished treating a young woman who had burns on her arms and the side of her face. The wounds were now gauzed and the woman thanked Sunset for helping her. Sunset smiled. She had helped many patients successfully, but finally one of the doctors came into the room. “What’s going on here?” he asked, and he looked at Sunset “What are you doing?” “It’s all right…” replied Sunset “I was just helping her. No one else was around.” The doctor was amazed that Sunset did all that herself, though she was not a licensed physician, he gave her a proud smile and took over for her. The other doctors and nurses Sunset had phoned had finally arrived and the hospital was better staffed, but Sunset was still amazed by how many patients she had helped, and all by herself too. She was suddenly snapped out of her thoughts when Twilight called her over her com. “Sunset, come in! The other rangers need you! Get going!” “Oh!” cried Sunset. In all her running around and helping the patients she had complete forgotten. She quickly dashed out of the hospital. “It’s Morphin’ Time!” “Morphing Sequence, Ready.” “Starfleet Magic… Power On!” Dr. Pain laughed as he fired his cannon again, but Fluttershy leapt in and blocked the shot with her shield, and then Buddy leapt forth and lassoed the cannon with his whip, trying to yank it away, but the monster maintained a firm grip. All the rangers lined up behind one another and offered more pull to their force, but even still the monster was able to maintain his grip. “Looks like someone didn’t take their vitamins.” he hissed at them. “Come on, guys! Pull harder!” wailed Buddy. “Heave…Ho! Don’t let go!” cried Rhymey. So the rangers continued to pull and struggle, while the monster continued to a pull, “I’m afraid it’s hopeless…” the monster called to them, and he managed to point his cannon straight at the rangers, “I’m calling it!” The rangers gasped as the cannon was ready to be fired, when suddenly, Sunset leapt into the scene, and using her Star Scepter, shot straight at the cannon, making a small explosion. The cannon flew up high and smashed hard onto the ground, breaking in pieces. “You should check your diagnostics better.” “Sunset…! Great timing.” said Buddy. Sunset nodded at the team and apologized for being late. The monster was outraged, “You busted my hypo-cannon! You’re going to pay for that!” “I don’t think so.” said Sunset “Time for a monster-ectomy! Ready, guys...?” The rangers acknowledged, and brought their weapons together. “Weapons Combine…!” “Star-Slammer… Ready!” The monster growled as the rangers stood ready.“STAR-SLAMMER… ULTRA-STRIKE!!” The monster got slammed hard and began to flare up. “IS THERE A DOCTOR IN THE HOUSE!!” he shouted as he exploded and was imprisoned. Keto wouldn’t be able to make the monster grow now. “Monster captured! Mission Complete!” The other rangers rejoiced. He three minions peered round a corner, and rather than being outraged at the loss of Dr. Pain, they simply snickered at one-another. “Those rangers still haven’t a clue.” said Marla. Bronc agreed, “That monster was just a distraction, and we got off with all that we needed.” Keto snickered, “Let’s get back to the tower.” Then he and his comrades vanished and were gone. The rangers went to their base to deliver their capture, and upon arrival, Celesto wanted Sunset to explain the reason why she was late to the battle. The others wanted to know why as well. Celesto stood with his arms folded, but a rather calm expression on his face, “Well, go on…” he said “You were tending to patients at the hospital.” “That’s right.” Sunset said with a downed expression, “I just couldn’t leave them there with no one to help them.” “THAT’S why you were late?” Rainbow asked in shock. Fluttershy thought it so sweet what Sunset did. “You really helped all those patients by yourself?” Celesto cleared his throat, silencing the others, and then he looked at Sunset deeply. “Sunset… what you did was very dangerous and highly unorthodox.” he scolded. “You are not a licenced physician, and tending to all those patients while unsupervised could’ve lead to great danger to those people.” “I know…” Sunset sighed. “And as if that weren’t bad enough,” Celesto continued “You left your fellow rangers to face the monster themselves when they really needed you to come sooner. If that monster had gotten loose on the city, everyone could’ve been hurt.” Sunset felt more ashamed than ever. “And I’d just like to add one more thing…” Celesto said, and he slowly lifted Sunset’s head to look at her deep in the eyes, and he smiled at her, “…I’m amazed.” Sunset and the others all looked confused, and while Celesto admitted that this didn’t excuse Sunset’s insubordination, “… You did show exemplary skills and helped many people who needed it desperately, and I’m proud of you for that.” Sunset began to smile. “But always remember that ranger-duty is always the most important, and should always be on call to help your team when they need it.” Sunset agreed and promised not to let something like this happen again, but the events that transpired that day helped her make up her mind. “So you want to be a doctor?” asked Spike. “Why not?” replied Sunset “I’ve already got a knack for some of this stuff, I just proved it today, and Dr. Penny did offer me to study with her.” “Well, I think you’ll make a great one It can be exciting for you and lots of fun.” said Rhymey. “I think so too,” agreed Fluttershy “I’m studying to be a vet, and I think it is fun.” Sunset thought this all just amazing, all the support she was getting. But this happiness was all to be dashed when Celesto received a call on his cell-phone from the hospital. “What?!” he snapped “Are you sure of this?” The team all wondered what was so bad, and when Celesto hung up, he told them, “…Our friends are missing!” Everyone gasped. “Missing?!” cried Buddy, and Celesto confirmed this, “The doctor informs me they aren’t in their beds, and they were never transferred and definitely hadn’t awakened.” Twilight hacked into the hospital’s security system. “I got something!” she said, and everyone huddled around her and watched the screen. The images showed their friends still unconscious in their beds at the time the monster was loose and Sunset was helping other patients. She and the other doctors and nurses were too busy tending to other serious needs of other patients… when suddenly. “Hey! Those are the three paramedics that brought Dr. Pain in.” said Sunset, and she and the others suddenly feared they had been tricked more than they had realized. This was correct when the paramedics transformed. “Marla… Bronc… and Keto!” cried Rainbow “I don’t believe it!” The next thing everyone saw was the villains’ teleporting their friends away, obviously taking them to their lair at the Prison Tower. The team was livid, shocked, and extremely worried! Fluttershy felt tears coming her eyes, “They… took… our friends!!” she cried. Buddy angrily stomped his foot and pounded the table, “They set us up!” he growled “It was just a ruse to get to our friends!” Celesto could not believe this happened, and he and the rest of the team couldn’t even begin to imagine what the villains wanted with their friends while they were still in comas.
