//------------------------------// // Cave Ninja Up // Story: Equestria Ninja Girls Minis: Blast to the Past // by Wildcard25 //------------------------------// The mutant duo of Bebop and Rocksteady along with the Dazzlings were once again surrounded by Triceraton Guards. "There gonna vaporize us, dawg!" Bebop cried. Rocksteady held him close, "I love you, Bebop! Hold me tight!" Sonata grabbed hold of Adagio and Aria, "You were best sisters and friends a siren could ask for!" However, the lady Tricereton raised her hand and the guards lowered their blasters. then she turned to one of the guards "Lieutenant Zorg, take the mutants and humans to my command center." "As you wish, General Zera," the guard responded. "No-no-no-no-no, hold up, lady," Bebop waved his hands, then motioned to Rocksteady, "Don't you know this guy? Look at him, he's one of you, of course! He's a cousie-whuzz!" "Yeah," Sonata pointed to Rocksteady's horns, "Don't you see the see the family resemblance?" "Um, da! We is cousins," Rocksteady said, "We are same species of... Alien Horn People!" "Really?" Adagio gave them a flat look. Soon they were tossed into a small cage, "Ah, man!" Rocksteady groaned "Trick no work." "Gee, yah think?!" Aria glared at him. "Shhh, quiet down, girl, they got some kind of plan cooking." Bebop said. "Uh, Zera, was it?" Adagio asked, "Mind telling me what it is you're doing?" "Seeing as how you are in no position to do anything, I'll tell you," Zera began, "Not long ago, our planet was destroyed by our most vile enemy: the Kraang!" "Hey! We hate those guys too," Sonata spoke up, "As Aria would say, 'they're the worst!'" "Newly crowned Emperor Zanmoran declared, that we would hunt down and annihilate every last Kraang in the entire galaxy, and not let anything or anyone stand in our way," Zera continued, "My army and I were sent here to scout out for any possible Kraang outposts. But instead of the Kraang, we discovered this." Zera held up one of the time crystals. "A crystal?" Aria said, uninterested. "These crystals have very unique properties," Zera explained, "When used correctly, they have the power to control the very force of time!" "You mean, you can use them to time travel?" Adagio asked. "The aura of Time will empower us in ways your pitiful minds could never conceive," Zera went on, "Our great race of Tricereatons will reap any time period we want. We can restore our glorious empire and rule the galaxy!" "That sounds great." a Triceraton stationary said to another. "That's sounds terrible!" Bebop whimpered. "For once, I agree with the warthog." Aria said, with wide eyes. "We better come up with plan soon, comrades." Rocksteady said. "Zera, listen to me," Adagio started. "Silence!" a soldier ordered. Zera cut him off, "No, let her speak." "I'm sorry for what the Kraang did to you and your people, but doing this will just lead you down a path we nearly took!" Adagio reasoned, "You don’t have to do this." Zera wasn't swayed "You’re right. We CHOOSE to do this!" "So much for negotiation." Adagio frowned. Later, the Turtles and Rainbooms were heading back to the Triceraton base riding on top of their new dinosaur friends. Leo, Twilight, and Sunset rode Zog. Mikey, Pinkie, and Fluttershy rode Maurice. Raph and Rainbow rode Terry. But Donnie, Applejack, and Rarity just walked. "Alright," said Leo, "Let's go back and get those time crystals." "And free the dinosaurs!" Fluttershy added. "Donnie, if we're going into battle, your gonna need a dinosaur, brah," Mikey said. "I'm cool with no dino," Donnie replied, "I have legs; I can walk." "And Y'all saw what happened when I tried to ride one of those live raptors." Applejack reminded them. "I thought you loved dinosaurs." Raph remarked to Donnie. "Huh, not anymore," Donnie stated, "Not enough to ride'em." "And I for one do not want to get coated in dino slober... again." Rarity frowned. "Now what kind of dino would be perfect for you three?" Rainbow wondered humorously. "Maybe one of those goofy duck-billed looking guys." Mikey joked. Suddenly, their path was blocked by a familiar dino. Rex was back! "Oh, no!" Rainbow exclaimed "Not you again!" "Uh, hey, Rex, heh-heh!" Spike said nervously, "You're not mad about that hole jabbing you in the nose thing, during the TurtleBot fight, right?" Rex responded with a loud roar, "Yep he's totally mad." "Ok, everyone, follow my lead!" Pinkie said and screamed. Everyone else screamed and took off on their dinos, while Donnie and two Rainbooms ran, with Rex chasing after them again. He tried to snap at Donnie's head but the turtle pulled it into his shell, before popping it back out, screaming. As they all ran, Mikey spotted a cave up ahead, "Dudes, into the cave!" and the ninjas and dinos ran inside and Donnie was the last one in after Rex nipped him in the butt. Rex stuck his head inside and roared. But then noticed he couldn't fit in all the way. "Oh, no! We're trapped," Twilight cried. "There's no way out!" Leo added, "This is barely a cave! What've you done, Mikey?!" "It's a two part plan, dog," Mikey held up his two fingers. "Yeah, that was only part one." Pinkie chimed in. "Then what's part two?" Sunset asked. Mikey answered by pulling out a smelly slice of pizza. Raph, Rainbow, and Terry did a three way face palm. "Seriously?!" Rainbow exclaimed. "It's been confirmed," Raph stated, "You really are an idiot!" Mikey ignored Raph and held the slice up to Donnie, "Take it, Donnie. Make peace. No animal, in any time period, can resist Pepperoni, Maple Syrup and Peppermint Sprinkles." Mikey stuck the slice in Donnie's face, "Trust me, Donnie." "He's right," Pinkie pointed to Rex, "Look!" Rex sniffed at the slice a licked his lips "Go to him," Mikey advised, " Peace, Love, and Animals." Donnie gulped and slowly approached Rex. "Well, nice knowing you, Don," Raph said, "Can I have the Shellraiser and the Stealth Bike?" Sunset elbowed him in the arm. Everyone held their breath as Donnie nervously held out the slice "Here T-Rex... Nice T-Rex... please don't eat me!" Rex took the slice in his mouth and ate it. Then he stuck tough and panted like a dog. Even giving Donnie an affectionate lick, much to his disgust. Then he rolled over on his back. He was now tamed. Leo, Raph, and the girls couldn't believe their eyes; Mikey's plan had worked! "No... way?!" Rainbow's eyes widened. "You've... gotta be pulling my bo-staff?!" Donnie said in disbelief. "Didn't see that coming." said Spike. Rex got out of the cave, allowing the others to get out as well. Raph slapped Donnie in the shell, "Go ahead, Donnie. You and the girls climb on." "Ride a Tyrannosaurus Rex?!" Donnie retorted. "Tell me you do not expect us to ride that beast!" Rarity said. "Ain't no way we're ridin' that monster!" Applejack refused, "And there's nothin' that'll change our-" "Oh, no!" both Rarity and Applejack cried. Two Tricereton guards emerged from the jungle. "There! The Turtles warriors!" one said, and they fired their blasters. Donnie and the girls dodged the blaster shoots. "Our minds are changed!" Applejack said. "No time to ride like the present!" Donnie said. "Agreed!" said Rarity, as they flipped up onto Rex's back, then he snapped his jaws at one of the guards and roared at the other. The two Triceratons screamed and fled. Rex gave a roar of triumph. "Yee-haw!" Applejack waved her hat. "Nice Rex," Donnie patted the dino, "Now, let's get that meteorite, and go home." "Whoo!" Raph threw his fist in the air. "Whoa-whoa!" Mikey held up a sign of his hand (courtesy of Pinkie Pie), "We need to gear up first, dudes. You know, like one of those montages in action movies." "Mikey's right," Pinkie popped up next to him "We gotta look the part. And all this must've inspired you to make prehistoric fashion, Rarity." Rarity thought about it "Well, now that you mentioned, darling..." Later, the Turtles were trying to pull some fur off a giant skeleton; Zog came up and helped them. After that, they brought them to Rarity, who had built a sewing machine out of a rock and sticks, that was powered by Mikey running on a makeshift treadmill, with Pinkie holding out a pizza slice for motivation. Leo fished out trilobite. Twilight dug through a pile of bones and picked up a raptor claw. After a coconut bonked Mikey in the head, he used it for kneepads. Soon, the Turtles and Rainbooms were dressed like cave people. "Booyakasha!" Mikey cheered. After that, they built weapons from whatever they could find: Leo had stone katanas and his trilobite shield. Sunset Shimmer had stone kunai. Twilight Sparkle made a kamayari with a stick, a stone spear head, and raptor claws. Mikey and Pinkie Pie had chain weapons out of bones. Raph had stone sais. Rainbow Dash had a traditional spear. Fluttershy had a stick blowpipe with small pointed bones for ammo. Rarity had sickles made from stone blades and sticks. Applejack had strapped stone blades to her wrists. And Donnie just had stick for bo-staff. Then they made saddles, pads, and even masks for each of the dinos, in the Turtles' signature colors: Zog blue. Terry red. Rex purple. And Maurice orange. Once they were ready, each Turtle and Rainboom boarded their dino. Leo gave a battle cry, "He-yah-la-la-la-la-la!" Then the dinos charged toward the Triceraton base. "Got any good escape plan, comrade Bebop?" Rocksteady asked. "You bet I do," Bebop said "Ladies, you charm the guard. Then you knock him out, Rock. Then I'll grab that key-looking rock on his belt. And we use their commlink to try and contact the Turtles T-phones!" "That sounds like a bad plan," Zera looked down at them, "You don't have a comm signal in this period." "Deep, yo! Deep-deep-deep-deep-deep-" "General!" a stationary interrupted Bebop's rant, and pointed to something on the monitor "Take a look at this." "Hmm," Zera narrowed her eyes, seeing a cloud of dust heading for them, "Zoom in." Screen zoomed in to reveal... "It's our friends!" Sonata exclaimed, "The Turtles and Rainbooms!" "The Turtles and Rainbooms have domesticated the dinos?" Zera asked. "That's right," Bebop stated, "And they're gonna kick your horns in!" "The Rainbooms too!" Sonata chimed in. "Da, and we help them!" Rocksteady added. "What should we do, General Zera?" another stationary asked. "Round up the troops!" Zera ordered "Protect the premier! Activate the Robo Spinosaurs!" One of the stationaries typing in activation codes and on the monitor screen, big doors slid open. Bebop, Rocksteady, and Sonata huddled together, cowering. The Turtles, Rainbooms, and their dinos had just arrived, when something big smashed through the wall. The group and their dinos dodged the debris and look up. "What the heck is that?!" Leo asked in surprise. As the dust settled, the first thing they saw was spinning blade spine, and they could see, towering over them was a robot Spinosaurs. It was ten times bigger than Rex! "Looks like they were expecting us," Pinkie said "Oh, we're in a deep deep pile of dino p-" Donnie was cut off as the Spinosaurs roared.
