//------------------------------// // Chapter 4: Troublemakers for hire. // Story: New Family Bond Of Little Brother And Big Sister. // by Neutral Boy //------------------------------// Few hours later after breakfast, Sunset goes to put the dishes in the sink. Washing them up, she was thinking on what to get for Bond Wing at the mall. 'Hmmm let's see, I need to pick out a boys size for him. Only the clothes he does like and not the ones he's distasteful of. I can at least lend one of my old clothing since the one he wore needs to wash & dry.' She glances to see Bond struggling to read one of her books she bought a few months back. 'Note to self: Better give him lessons on book reading and for online devices.' Finishing up washing the dishes, she puts them away to dry off and goes to pick out her clothing. Bond Wing however, who's secretly Zero Two, struggles on reading a book with words on them. 'En, g-garde, n-nintee, w-w-wa-gerte, miq-q-q-qeyto, a-a-aentl-larbz.' Frowning on saying the words right, he drops the book and holds his head in frustration. 'Ennnnah, words are hard to pronounce.' He thought, grumbling to himself. Minutes later, Sunset has gotten dressed and also helped Bond with the clothing she let him borrow. She let Bond Wing give some privacy so that he can put them on himself. Lest she accidentally comes in blushing of seeing his private parts and will mentally scar her from the image until the end of her days in time. "Note to all viewers: If any of you has seen any anime series, either rated E, T, or M, be mentally prepared for the scenes of a male character accidentally walking into a room where a female is changing or unchanging her clothing." Changing up, Bond unlock the door as Sunset saw him on what he was wearing. It was an old outfit clothing she has worn before attending to Principal Celestia's high school. Her eyes lit up of seeing him adorable and gives him a big hug. "Awww! You are just so cute Bond Wing! It's like looking at a mirror of younger me!" She giggles. For Bond Wing, his cheeks went red in embarrassment. 'Eeeewwwww, I look like a total nerd of my arch. . . . arch. . . . . eh I forgot.' Sunset broke her hug and patted his head. "Don't worry, this'll only be my clothing for the day. We'll go get some new clothing at the mall to help fit you at the right size of boys. In the meantime after getting them, how about we go out for snacks and a meal time?" Perking up at the mentions of food, Bond Wing rapidly nodded and she giggled again. "Great, now wait outside for me while I go get my money." She opens up the door for him and goes to get her money while he waits for her. Hearing some movements, Bond turns around to seeing his six loyal minions has arrived back. 'So, you six came back as promised, along with new form puppets and information.' He bends down and asks them questions. 'What did you six find out about them?' {Earlier from last night. . .} While Sunset Shimmer and Zero Two were sleeping together, his six loyal minions split up in different directions. No human nor animals can see then clearing since the rains continues to pour down. The first minions hops around each building of houses and apartments. It has hopped to a garage sale and spots a person at the window with rainbow hair, matching in the picture. "Okay mom & dad, I'll be alright once the rain is clear." Hearing the athlete girl will be alone, it hops over to find her relaxing and watching tv. "Here's some food for you tank." The athlete girl gives her turtle chopped up food. Glances at the human and pet, it sneaks into the window while the girl is changing channels. The minions enters her houses and hops over to her pet, squeezing inside the pet's shell. Tank felt something bite him and drops his meal before plopping down. In mere moments, the possession is complete and remembers some memories of Rainbow Dash. The possessed Tank glances to his owner, glaring at her for being unfaithful & unloyal to her friends. 'Tank is no longer yours, coward. You'll know the suffering of betrayal and it's consequences. But first, I think I'll pay a visit to your young sister since looking into your pet's memories, she's also not innocent either. After that, a little trip to your sports team base.' Second minion slides down on the water toward the sewers. Then, it hops at a water fountain, eyeing up to spot a farm home of where Applejack resides. It hops away from the fountain and bounce on the wet ground until it jumps into an apple tree. Searching around, the little shadow saw four humans awake, including their dog. "Winona, come get your food girl!" It heard a young country girl's voice. *Arf! Arf!* Knowing which target to possess, the minion hops off toward the house. It scoots underneath the window and sees the humans busy with the dog eating. Sneaking around the material tools & foods, the minion draws in closer to the female dog. Winona heard something and growls, but it was too late as the minion has jumped & bit her neck. *whimper* "Winona?" Their dog twitches in paralysis as the minion absorbs her body, completing the possession of the dog. "Are you okay girl?" Applejack walks over to see Winona is fine and only scratching her ear. Shaking her head, she walks back to the kitchen. "It's nothing, she probably got spooked by the storm or something." Unbeknownst to her, the possessed Winona glares at the own. It found some memories of Applejack and Applebloom who's responsible of Sunset's suffering. Along with finding out about something more online of AJ's younger sister and deceiving her big sister. 'Your precious pet is mine now. I'll deal with you two lying, dishonest, traitors later. In the meantime, I'll go mess around your farm schedules and keeping a close eye on your little sis.' The third minion hops & ducks through a few drivers in vehicles driving by in the rain. It tumbles around from the traffic and the slippery ground, colliding towards a wall. Shaking of from the impaction, the little minion jumps around to surveying the area. A shiny place twinkles and it hops toward the building. Looking over at the window spot corner, it sees the two girls in a disagreement. "But Rarity, I thought you were going to help me with my project tomorrow!" The young sister whined. "No butts dearie, my schedule is busy with an order for my guest this week." Older sister examining designs. "Hmph, I'd say fashion my ass in turd shit." Older sister gasps at her sister's words. "I beg your pardon?!" "N-Nothing sister, I'll be up in my room to study as punishment." "That's what I thought you said." When the young girl goes upstairs, the big sister huffs before going back to her work. The minion glances to see a cat nearby munching on cat food the humans gave her earlier. It climbs up the building towards an open window spot. Jumping to the opening, it ducks and spots the young girl pouting in her pillow. Making sure not to be alerted, the minion sneaks around the corners and goes to the opened door, relived that nothing has fallen down to alert the young sis. Hopping down the staircases, it spots the cat finishing up a meal. Glancing to see the older sister still busy on her designs, the minion hops down the stairs before jumping onto the cat's body. The cat yells in hiss and runs around the floor trying to get something of her body. It was futile as the cat felt the bite paralyzing her, making her plop down. Rarity jumps from the noise and thinks something is up with her cat. "Opal darling, mommy's on her way!" She spots the cat yawning, confused on why her cat yelled & hissed seconds ago." "Is everything alright Opal?" Her cat turns to her with a frowning face. *Meow* Rarity sighs and turns away to get back to work. "Honestly Opal, I swear that I don't what's gotten into you sometimes." Unaware for the fashion girl, her cat has been possessed by the minion, taking control over her. In some of the memories, it's confirmed she's one of the friends who hurt Sunset. Along with this fashion girl's sister that's oozing out negativity and seeing her connected with the device she had on in her pocket. The possessed cat silently growls at both the owner. 'So, this is the fashion designer who's not generous enough and prefers on being more greedy too. Well then, how's about I return the favor on messing up her "special" designing hard work and taking away her allowance with my cat pawn? Plus an added bonus on what secrets her young sister has behind her back?' Fourth minion jumps on each rooftops. It hops around more buildings until it spots a building called Sugarcube Corner. Thinking it's where the pink one is at, the minion drops down toward the building's windows. The little shadow saw the pink girl seems to be closing up and the two adults heading out. "See ya later Mr. & Mrs. Cakes!" The young girl waving to them. "Bye Pinkie Dear." It hides away as the two adults head out the front door. As the door closes, the minion slips inside the building easily with the two adults not noticing as they head off somewhere. All of the light were turned off one by one as the pink girl tidies up the place. "You stay on guard, okay Gummy?" The minion hops on the seat, peaking at the girl petting her baby alligator. A cheerful pink girl rummages around the counters cleaning up everything, including the seats. Sneaking under the tables in stealth, the minion avoids the girl and moves toward the kitchen counter. Looking around the place, it spotted the girl's baby reptile stand while watching the girl. The minion jumps up to the reptile and her pet heard something behind him. Gummy turned around and quickly munched on the intruder, but it was a bad idea. The little reptile felt a pain in his throat and planted his body down on his right side. The cheerful girl's body felt a twitch when she notices her Pinkie Senses went off. "Uh oh, I sense a disturbance in Sugarcube Corner." She guards herself and looks around for the intruder. "Gummy, did you see anyone suspicious?" The pink girl runs over to her beloved reptile, seeing him slowly shake his head and blink his eyes. "Oh Gummy, you were suppose to watch out for any intruder. Not letting them get away." She looks around to see if anything is stolen along with the register, but surprised to see nothing is stolen. "Whew, just a false alarm. Although, I do wonder on why they didn't steal anything." Shrugging her shoulders, she walks off to finish up tidying up the place. Not know that behind her, the reptile's pupils grew dark, glaring at the pink girl from looking into some of his memories with her. 'A little reptile under my command. The cheerful laughter girl, yet she knows on what she did was wrong. Who does this girl think she is? Thinking it's okay to be happy when she abandoned Sunset and take away her innocent smile? No matter, I think it's time to give her customers a reality check on who she truly is. Perhaps the owners of this place wouldn't mind if they have one less employee around here?' The fifth minion moves into some tree limbs, hoping on each one. Around it were little animals hiding away in their holes, scared of this evil presence hoping around. Halting to a stop on a limb, it searches everywhere for any signs of the shy girl. It soon spots a white bunny on the ground, hopping away towards somewhere. Picking up the owner's scent from the bunny, it jumps and carefully stealth follows the bunny. A minute later, the bunny is lured at the animal day care center. The minion hides and spots the door opening up, revealing the shy human girl in the picture. The girl with long pink hair saw the white bunny hopping towards her as she picked it up. "Oh there you are Angel bunny!" The minion heard the shy girl. "For shame Angel, I told you to never run off on me. Why didn't you listen?" Seeing the girl closing her door, the minion quickly hops forward and makes it inside the day care. Hiding behind a pot plant, it peeks out to find the girl already has put her pet in the cage. "Now Angel, you behave yourself and think about what you have done. I'll come back to give you a shot while I get you dinner prepared. Oh, I better go check if the oven is done for the shrimp." Fluttershy then goes in the kitchen to check ono her meal. Noticing almost each of the animal pets are asleep, the minion walks quietly to not disturb them. Turning it's head to see her busy in the kitchen, it walks on the walls and spots her white bunny in the cage. The minion jumps off the wall and grabs onto the cage part. Angel flinches that something has impacted the metal cage door part. He saw the cage open up, feeling scared when a shadow creature crawling into his cage. When Fluttershy's timer is done, she didn't hear the cries of her bunny. "Oh, the shrimp is done finally." She turns the oven off and grabs some protective gloves on to pull the shrimp out. Putting the shrimp down by the counter, she pulls her gloves out and back into the cabinet. "The shrimp is good as new, now to go get Angel bunny's meal and shot ready." Picking up the bowl of carrots she has cut, she also grabs the needle shot to go. Walking over to her bunny's cage, she peeks to find him surprisingly resting. "Sleep well Angel, I'll put your bowl of food beside you and give you the shot tomorrow." She opens the cage up and puts the bowl beside him before petting him and closing the cage. When she walks off to go get her meal, the white bunny's right glares at her. The memories this little white bunny heard at school. "A pitiful young shy girl more focused on her animals than her crying human friend. I'm surprised her animal friends didn't give her the cold treatment. Then again, I could use this bunny for my master's plans. Firstly though, time to test out on playing doctor around her animals and evaluate the results. Heh heh heeehhhhh!' Final minion has gone off away from Canterlot toward an Academy not far. Making it to another town or city, it hops on each buildings finding the target. Except, the minion can't remember on which person it's master has shown it of the image picture. 'It seems I have to get creative, but how?' The little shadow glances at the crow bird looking around for scraps of food. 'This pawn can help me find the target.' So the minion immediately jumps on the as it chips of help. It bites onto the bird and it was paralyzed, absorbing into the bird's body before taking control of the pawn puppet crow. 'Time to take a test drive up in the air.' The possessed crow flaps it's wings as it ascends into the air. Controlling the bird's movements, the minion flies forward to fly over the buildings. Looking down, it spots multiple humans out in the open, but no sign of the one yet. 'Hm let's see, nope, not the ugly one. Too tall, too short, too glamorous, too. . . . . . a-ha!' Eventually, the possessed bird spotted the target walking with a young dog. 'Thanks for the ride, bird brain. Also though you need a new wife cause yours cheated on you.' The bird felt a pain removing itself off as the minion descends from the bird. Neither of every humans in the area looked up to seeing a tiny thing head straight down. 'Nighty night, doggy.' The minion falls down closer on the ground until it lands on the girl's dog, biting onto it's back. A purple dog felt the impact and the bite as he growls and tries to get the flea off of him. "Spike? What's wrong?" The girl with the glasses on notice her wasn't walking with and sees her dog biting himself. "Are you getting the fleas again?" Her dog Spike, pauses and turns to her, scratching his ears. "Oh well, I better go call the appointment when I get back home. Come on Spike." She tugs the string of the leash as her dog is obeyed to walk with her. Although, the nerd didn't realize on what landed on Spike as he's already been possessed by the minion and looks into his memory during his time with the owner. 'Interesting, it seems this girl didn't attend to CHS, but rather she's a sister to the other girl matching her hair & clothing. I better keep an eye on this one and the strange item she mostly carries around. It can prove to be a problem with master if she uses it on him.' Zero Two's six minions gave him all of the information, including the three girls and the identical twin. 'I see, so that's what has been troubling Sunset from this current event. . .' He hums in thought, turning around and his minions glance to one another. 'What should we do next master?' One of his minions asked him. Giving an idea, he turns to his minions and they stand in attention. 'Continue your mission of surveillance, make sure to give these five friends, especially their sisters some bad luck of consequences. Find out why these three brats have framed Sunset. For the identical twin however, leave her be, but bring the device to me by distracting her with something she can't ignore. One more thing though before you all go. . .' Hearing Sunset getting ready, he ushers his minions to hide as they go behind the bushes. "Okay, I'm all set. You ready to go Bond Wing?" He looks up and nods his head yes. "Let's get going. I'm sure the mall ain't so busy today, wouldn't you agree." Sunset looks up the place and grabs ahold of his left hand. He slowly walks away, but not before giving a command to his minions. 'If you see any of Sunset's bullies lurking around in Canterlot, YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO.' 'Yes master!' His minions shouted in proudness to not fail him. While his six minions possessing the pets head off, he continues to walk with Sunset towards the mall. 'Next stop, buying books and clothing for Bond Wing.' Her mind says in excitement. The shadow behind Bond Wing is shown with sharp teethes and a large eyeball showing blood in it. 'These lying, traitors, false element harmonious foolish monsters think it's so easy to be deluded of learning the lesson of life, but chose to ignore the promise of believing a young innocent girl. All shall regret of leaving her behind alone and will fell my wrath of eternity's fallen hope and despair. They will all feel the pain that I have felt more than millennium years ago, much more worse. That, I solemnly promise.'
