//------------------------------// // Chapter 9: Equestria Land Madness // Story: My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Don't Deal with Magic // by Pinkie Pie Sweets //------------------------------// At the Equestria Land entrance, Vignette is waiting for Rarity and her friends to arrive. She turns her head to inside the amusement park to see it empty, well almost. There are a few mysterious beings exploring the park. Just then, the purple van comes entering the parking lot, and parks at the front line close to the park. Coming out of the car are the main seven, the cup brothers, and Hilda. Soon the girls lead the three Inkwell residents to the park. Vignette types on her cellphone while she wait. She knows that they'll come, but she wishes they will hurry. Suddenly, she hears a familiar call, "Vignette! Yoo hoo!" Vignette happily turns her head, and happily calls out, "Rarity!" Vignette and Rarity walk to each other and give each other hugs and kiss each other over their shoulders. "Thank goodness you all are here. I know they haven't cause much trouble because the place is closed to get ready for tonight's event, but they're still roaming around the park," Vignette says. Sunset questions, "Rarity told us that you saw a train full of ghosts, a rat in a can, a bird in a birdhouse, a clown that transform into a carousel, and a genie." "That's exactly right," Vignette says. Twilight turns to Cuphead, and says, "Well Cuphead, it sounds like Dijimmi the Great, Beppi the clown, Wally Warbles, Werner Wermam, and the Phantom Express." "Seems like it. And that means trouble can't be far from behind," Sunset adds. Confused, Vignette asks, "What are you talking out?" The gang look at each other with concern looks, "Uh!" "You want the long or the short?" Pinkie asks. "Just make it brief," Vignette answers. "Equestria Magic hit my Cuphead video game and many characters from the game come out of the game and around Canterlot City. the ones you say are from the video game and we're trying to find them before the Devil and his men try to steal their souls. Plus, the casino you saw belongs to the Devil," Pinkie explains. Then happily introduces, "By the way, this is Cuphead, Mugman, and Hilder Berg." "Hello," The three reply. "Wait, you mean that you're Cuphead and Mugman?" Vignette surprisingly asks. "Yep," Mugman answers. "We sure are," Cuphead says with his thumb up. "OMG, this has to be the best thing that this magiz ever did! And you both look so adorable," Vignette happily says. "Thanks," Cuphead says. "Thank you," Mugman replies. "Uh Vignette, I know that your excited about meeting them, and probably want to take a picture of them for your SnapGab account… but we got bigger problems to deal with. What those guys been causing trouble?" Applejack firmly says. "Uh no. they haven't caused any trouble at all," Vignette answers. "Glad to know that they aren't endanger," Fluttershy replies. "Yeah. But the Devil's men can't be far behind. We need to get them out of here before they show up," Rainbow says. Sunset nods her head, and says, "Rainbow's right. And we still need to head to the casino to check it out." "We'll meet back here in two hours, agree," Applejack says. "Agree," The gang reply. And so, Rarity and her group follow Vignette in the park to get the residents out before the event and the bad guys show up. At the same time, Sunset and her group are going to find the casino Vignette is talking about. The first place, Vignette decides to go to that is close by is the building where the floats are. Rarity and the others gasp in surprise to see a giant wooden birdhouse on the top. Mugman says, "That's definitely Wally's birdhouse alright." "Well now that we found him, how exactly are we going to get him and his birdhouse down?" Applejack questions. "I wish I knew darling," Rarity replies. Suddenly a loud, deep, thundering voice asks, "Did someone say the word 'wish!'" Suddenly a strange white smoke appears, and changes to a red man wearing a turquoise with a yellow lining on the inside, a turquoise turban with a red gem and a yellow feather on the front, black and cream wrist bands on each of his wrist, light blue pants and lamps on his feet. He has a cob pipe in his mouth. Luckily, this genie is who Mugman recognize, "Dijimmi, you're just in time. We need to get Wally's birdhouse off of the roof." "Of course Mugman, I'll just get him down in a second," Dijimmi says. Dijimmi waves his hands around, and uses his magic to lift the birdhouse off the roof, and brings it back down to the ground. "Thanks," Mugman replies. "It's no trouble," Dijimmi says. He then crosses his arms and legs as he floats in the air. Then he asks, "So Mugman, who do I owe the pleasure of seeing you today? Along with your new friends." Mugman turns to the girls, and says, "These are my friends Twilight, Rarity, Pinkie Fluttershy, Applejack, and Vignette." "Hello," The girls reply. "It's a pleasure to meet you lidies, I'm Dijimmi the Great. The granters of all your wishes. Three for each master," Dijimmi says. "That sounds fun," Pinkie says. Then she wishes, "I wish to have a yummy ice cream sundae." "Your wish is my command," Dijimmi says. Dijimmi uses his magic to make an ice cream sundae appear. "Thanks," Pinkie happily says, taking the treat and start eating it. Hilda giggles, and says, "Your friend has a big appetite." "You can say that again," Rarity says. Hilda turns to Dijimmi, "Dijimmi, have you seen the others?" "Well, Beppi and Wener should be at the snack bar getting something to eat. In fact, they're right over there," Dijimmi says. The gang look ahead to see Beppi and Wener are eating some food at one of the tables. Suddenly, they hear yawning, and a red feather bird stick his head out of there. Wally Warbles has awaken from his nap. "What's all that noise? I was having a good nap," Wally says with a yawn. "Sorry to disturb you, but Mugman is here with some friends trying to find us and get us home," Dijimmi says. Wally yawns, and says, "That sounds nice." "Still, we better get you guys out of here before the Devil's army finds us," Twilight says. Suddenly, they start to hear a strange sound, like something getting banged. "What in the world is that sound?" Rarity questions. "I don't know. It sounds a little loud," Vignette says. Then Pinkie screams, "And there are white balls and a giant black ball heading right towards us!" The others look up ahead to see small white balls are bouncing right towards them along with a giant black ball. "What in the hay is that?!" Applejack exclaims. "Whatever it is, I don't like that smile that black one is giving off, "Vignette says. The gang look to see the giant ball is showing yellow eyes and a teeth like smile. What's more, there is a number eight on it. "Guys, that's no ball," Vignette worriedly says. "That's Mangosteen!" Mugman confirms. The ball laughs, and says, "Look out everyone, here I come!" Everyone scream and run out of the way. The group run from the bouncing white balls and railing black ball. The gang look back to see the ball rolling at them. They then turn ahead to see something else in front of. The see a roulette table. She spins around and the white balls out of her wheel. "I think we know where the balls are coming from," Fluttershy replies. "Yes. Pirouletta is the one with the white balls. But I do admit, she is a very nice dancer," Rarity says. The roulette stops and bow in reply, and says, "Thank you." She then begins to dance right towards them. "Um, I think we should tango on out of here," Pinkie says. Then the gang make a run for it. Just then, they find a stack of three different color poker chips. And three different glasses. A rum glass with a lid on it, a martini glass that has an olive, and a whisky glass with a red nose. "Great. Now Chips and the Alcohol drinks are here," Applejack says. "Run!" Pinkie screams. Then the group make a run for it. Just then, Whisky spills the drink creating a wave of alcoholic beverages. Rarity turns her head back to see the beverage, and screams, "Look out!" Before the other can turn around the whiskey whisk them away. And are being carried somewhere in the park. On the roller coaster. Wally is able to gather Beppi and Wener at the roller coaster where the Phantom express is. He explain to them that Mugman here with his friends and are being chased by the Devil's crew. "So Mugman and his friends have got into trouble and Dijimmi's with them," Wener says. "That's right. We need to find a way to get back home," Wally says. Beppi giggles, and says, "I don't think we need to leave this soon. I'm having a blast here. It's too bad no one is here to see it." "Beppi, I think the situation is serious. I also think that we're in trouble," Wener says. Wally looks ahead, and says, "And it seems that Mugman and the others are being washed right towards us." The three turn their heads to see the others are being washed by strange water. Soon, Mugman and the others have reach the roller coaster and take deep breaths as they are trying to get up. However, they are trying to spit out the whisky taste from their mouths. "This taste disgusting!" Applejack says in disgust. Vignette spits the stuff, and adds, "It's bad!" "This take awful and bitter," Pinkie adds. "We shouldn't even been drinking this stuff," Fluttershy adds. "And they're soaked right into my clothes," Rarity adds. Dijimmi stands up, and says, "Don't worry my lady, I'll get us all cleaned up." Dijimmi uses his magic to create a cloud and rain all over the hang getting the alcoholic drink off to them. Then makes a giant hair dryer appear, and dries them off with it. After drying the gang, the girls hair puff up a little. Then he conjures up brushes and combs, and fixes the girls' hair. Soon, everyone are nice and clean. "Thank you," Rarity says. Mugman sees the others, and says, "Hi Beppi. Hi Wener." "Hey kid, heard you're having some problems," Wener says with a cigar in his mouth. "You have no idea," Applejack says. Bepp happily says, "At last, I have some kids to entertain. Any of you like to see my magic trick?" "Beppi, now isn't the time to perform any magic show. The bad guys can show up any minute," Fluttershy says, looking a little worried. Pinkie turns her head around, and shows a scared face, "Yeah. I think they're coming sooner than they think." Everyone look to where Pinkie is looking, and gasp to see The Tipsy Trop, Magosteen, Pirouletter, and Chips Bettigan are heading right toward them. Annoyed Vignette questions, "Like don't those guys give up?" "They're the bad guys. They won't stop unless we make'em, "Applejack says. "Then let's take them out," Beppi says. "Now you're talking," Pinkie says with a smile Twilight, Rarity, Pinkie, Fluttershy, and Applejack nod their heads and hold out their geodes, activating their magic. They look ahead to see top of the Tipsy Troops are spilling their alcoholic beverages at the girls. Rarity uses her magic to create diamonds to prevent them from getting wet, and the drinks goes past them. Once that is done, Beppi, Wener, Dijimmi, Wally, Mugman and Pinkie use their abilities to fight back. Bombs, confetti explosive, horseshoes, feathers, and other attacks are hitting the Devil's men and knocking some of them down. Pirouletta then spins in a circle, launching multiple white balls at the group. Twilight then uses her magic to stop the white balls. Then throws them back at the bad guys. Magosteen then rolls straiht at them, hoping to knock them down. Applejack then uses her magical strength to stop the giant pool ball. Then lifts it up into the air. With a smirk, Applejack says, "Ready to bowl you give grown ball?" "No," Magosteen nerovusly answers with a gulp. Applejack then throws the giant pool ball like it's a bowling ball. Magosteen rolls so fast, that he ends up knocking the other villains over like bowling pins. But that's not the end of the battle. They soon hear the sound of the train whistling. Everyone turn to see the Phantom Express is ralining off the tracks, and ram right at the five minions. Sending them flying into the air. Beppi whistles as he looks up into the sky, "Talking about taking a flight." "You can say that again," Pinkie agree. After defeating the bad guys and saving the park, everyone gather at the front to talk what they need to do next. "Well, I'm happy to say that we found everyone on the isle," Twilight says. "But we still need to figure out a way to get back home," Mugman says. Fluttershy pats the young cup on the head, "Don't worry Mugman, we'll try to get you all home and hopefully we'll do that before the Devil cause any trouble." "Relax Flutters, I'm sure we'll get everything fixed up before the Devil can do any damage," Pinkie happily says. Suddenly, someone screams, "HELP!" Everyone turn to see Cuphead, Hilda, and Rainbow are running as fast as they can. It's like they're running for their lives. What's more, they notice someone is missing. The three continue to run until they reach to the front of the giant group. "Rainbow, what in the hay have gotten into you three?" Applejack questions. "Yeah. You look like you three got chased by a monster or a ghost," Pinkie replies. Then Twilight asks, "What happened at the casino?" "And where is Sunset? Isn't she with you?" Rarity adds. The three take deep breath as they try to calm down. "We… we were able to find the casino… and we saw the Devil and King Dice inside," Rainbow says, taking deep breaths. "We found out what he is doing, and King Dice was able to find us. But the worse part…." Hilda adds. But Cuphead exclaims, "But Sunset got captured! We tried to save her, but King Dice got to her! She's the Devil's prisoner now!" "What?!" Everyone exclaim. Twilight comes over, and asks, "What happen?!" The three look at each other with scared looks, and decide to tell everyone the whole story.
