The Gala Fights Back
Locust slammed his hooves atop the makeshift table. He glared right up at the zeppelins, teeth bare and eyes as tight as possible. He breathed deeply and with an aggressive tone, all while keeping his eyes on the airships.
“Who dares to attack the alliance of Queen Chrysalis and Coldnelius Snap?” Locust yelled. “Show yourself, coward.”
A figure emerged from a zeppelin on the front, revealing himself to be King Myrrh. Locust directed his gaze towards the Saddle Arabian ruler.
“I dare to attack your queen and your cult leader,” King Myrrh yelled.
As Locust tapped the table a couple of times, Inferno pulled out a megaphone and handed it over to his fellow changeling, who aimed it at King Myrrh’s fleet and placed his lips to the mouthpiece.
“You have the audacity to attack us when we were on the verge of victory?” Locust said into the megaphone. “Do you know who you are dealing with? I am Locust: Majordomo to Queen Chrysalis and general of the changeling armies. We number in thousands. You cannot beat us. Do you understand you pompous fool?”
King Myrrh just yawned for a good three seconds. He signals to the cannoneer, who points the cannon right at Locust.
“If you think you can best the might of the changelings,” Locust yelled. “Then give me your best shot.”
King Myrrh turned to the cannoneer and said “You heard the squawker. Let him have it.”
With a push of a button, a cannon fires off its ammo straight at Locust at high speeds. Locust stood there with his eyes wide open, all while Inferno, Quickstrike and Waspinator quickly moved out of the way. But just as Locust jumps off the table, the cannonball hits right in front of him and detonates. The resulting explosion sent the changeling flying backwards, and out of control, towards Gold Banks.
“Oh no,” Gold Banks said. “I’m not sticking around here.”
Gold Banks got up and quickly ran back towards the entrance of the castle, with Silver Banks standing there and staring at his cowardly wife. But before Gold Banks could make it to the doorway, she is hit by Locust and knocked to the floor.
“Uggh,” Gold Banks said as she noticed an unconscious Locust pinning her to the ground. “Someone get this abomination off me.”
Silver Banks just nodded his head in shame and turned his attention back to the other changelings, whose faces have dropped down at the sight of the zeppelin’s firepower.
“For once,” Silver said to himself. “I actually appreciate these kinds of rescues.”
Back in the crowd, Inferno looked in horror as what’s left of the table is now nothing more than splinters and broken pieces of wood. He turned his attention towards Sunset Shimmer, Prince Hoofar and Princess Luna.
“You….you tricked us,” Inferno said.
“Those are some mighty fine accusations,” Princess Luna said with a smile on her face. “We were at your mercy until King Myrrh decided to show up and help us out.”
“But that stupid gem of yours told everything to that pompous king about us,” Quickstrike yelled. “You lured us all into a trap.”
“Did we?” Prince Hoofar said. “It could have been too little, too late for them to arrive to save us. Or I could have been rendered out of commission to make a difference.”
“Actually,” Cozy Glow said as she flew up to Prince Hoofar. “He’s right on that last part. After all, we spent most of the gala locked away in some closet, along with a few friends of ours, and Princess Wanda.”
“That is true,” Prince Hoofar said, facing Cozy Glow before turning his face back to Inferno. “But if what you said is true, then your own queen and princess are at their most vulnerable. Quite a shame they forgot to bring an escort of their own to ensure their own victory.”
“That does it,” Inferno yelled. He pointed his hoof towards the zeppelins and yelled out “CHANGELINGS, CULTISTS, ATTACK!”
A number of changelings flew towards the zeppelins while members of the Windigo’s Guild fired at the various airships. Quickstrike was about to take off when Inferno grabbed him, stopping his own predacon brother from departing.
“Our queen and the princess are in danger,” Inferno said. “Find them. Make sure they are safe.”
“At once, bro,” Quickstrike yelled before he turned tail and flew off towards the boundaries of the city.
Inferno turned towards the zeppelins and yelled out “Now do you see? We prepared for this moments, and our Queen will bring you down. Admit your defeat.”
But just as Quickstrike was outside the edge of the castle, he was blasted by a bolt of magic, causing him to fall uncontrollably to the ground. His loud scream caught Inferno’s attention.
“WHO DID THAT?” Inferno yelled. “WHO DARES TO BLAST DOWN MY BROTHER?”
I dare.” Inferno turned his head towards the crowd, where Prince Blueblood glared at the predacon. The Duke of Manehattan’s horn has a small plume of smoke coming out of his horn.
“That was my brother you…,” Inferno yelled before Danged Spell and Golden Lace jumped out of nowhere and pinned the predacon down, barking wildly at him.
“Well maybe you shouldn’t have messed with us, you arrogant cur,” Prince Blueblood said with a smirk on his face.
Waspinator looked around as fellow changelings and Windigo’s Guild cultists fired upon King Myrrh’s airships. He looked and saw some of the guests fighting back against both cultists and changelings. He began to freak out.
“Waspinator not like this moment,” Waspinator yelled. “Waspinator safer inside the castle.”
Waspinator turned tail and flew backwards, darting towards the castle entrance. Buck WIthers got him in his sights and began to crack his whip.
“No sir,” Gad Zookes said, putting his hoof on Buck’s shoulder. “That won’t be necessary.”
“Gad,” Buck Withers said. “Are you crazy? He’s going inside the castle.”
“Observe, my old friend,” Gad Zookes said, pointing to the castle entrance.
Buck Withers watched as Waspinator flew above the drawbridge and through the entrance. But just as the predacon stepped a hoof onto the floor, he was smacked right on the face with a frying pan, knocking him out cold. Emerging from the shadows was none other than Majordomo Kibitz, who held that frying pan with an iron grip.
“Hooligans,” Kibitz said. “I spent all night doing some massive cleaning throughout the castle prior to them ruining it, and this is what they try to pull off? At times like this, I wish I was more involved in thwarting these shenanigans.”
Buck Withers, who looked like he was about to laugh, turned to Gad Zookes and said “So that’s what you meant, Gad. Guess that was definitely for a good chuckle. My apologies for doubting you.”
Gad Zookes smiled and said “It happens.”
Nearby, a number of Grand Gallopin Gala guests, workers, guards and even Wonderbolts were overpowering the Windigo’s Guild and the changelings, all while soldiers from Saddle Arabia leaped from the airships and parachuted downwards towards the two invading groups. One by one, the soldiers landed nearby, armed with shields and magical spears. They used the shields to repel both changeling and cultist magic while they pointed their spears at the foes and fired off blasts of magic.
In the midst of the fighting, Moondancer, Rarity, Starlight and Sunburst were backed up next to each other as changelings and cultists surrounded them. Despite the odds being against them, the four fillies had a sense of confidence in them.
“So,” Rarity said. “You think you can catch up to me in driving these turkeys off?”
“Challenge accepted,” Moondancer said with a smirk on her face.
With no time wasted, Rarity and Moondancer fired upon the encroaching changelings and cultists, with each shot connecting with the invaders. Starlight Glimmer and Sunburst looked at Rarity and Moondancer before they fired back at the changelings and cultists.
“Wow,” Starlight said. “This is actually fun.”
“Let’s not go overboard on this,” Sunburst said. “We’ll wear ourselves out before we know it.”
The four younglings continued to fire upon the changelings and cultists, blasting them away as far as possible. But they continued to gang up on the four kids, causing them to freak out a bit.
“Oh dear,” Rarity said. “I think this is where I acknowledged that we overdid it.”
“So now what do we do?” Starlight asked.
Moondancer turned to Rarity with an evil smirk on her face and said “I got an idea. Pretend one of them called you a you-know-what.”
“A sourpuss?” Rarity replied before her face turned into a devilish grin. She turned to the changelings and cultists before she said “I knew I should have been angrier than I am right now.”
Rarity looked at the changelings and cultists as they grouped up towards them. Her teeth showed with pure anger. Her eyes glowed red with anger. Her horn glowed brightly as magic drew right in, growing bigger and bigger. The changelings and cultists took a long stare at Rarity before their eyes popped out in fear.
“RUN FOR IT!” One of the cultists yelled before they all turned tail and ran.
“THIS IS A WARNING FOR ANYONE WHO CALLS ME A SOURPUSS!” Rarity yelled before she fires off a powerful blast of magic. The changelings and cultist tried to run as fast as possible, only to be overpowered by the powerful blast, which transformed into a powerful explosion and sent them flying.
“Woah,” Starlight said. “All that over emotional energies?”
“You should try it someday if you have those kinds of rude, uncouth jerks,” Rarity said.
“Noted,” Starlight replied with a wink.
Starlight, Sunburst, Rarity and Moondancer let out a playful laugh at each other. As they did, a lone cult member snuck up behind them with his horn glowing a bright, icy blue. But before he could cast any magic, he was hit on the side by a stray blast of magic, knocking him to the ground and catching the four younglings’ attention. They turned to their left to see Prince Blueblood with his horn smoking from firing that magic shot.
“Tell me,” Prince Blueblood said. “Was he afraid to get dirty?”
Moondancer laughed and said to Rarity “You know, I wish this was the Blueblood I got to meet back during the Gala, because that is an improvement.”
“Oh please,” Rarity giggled.
Meanwhile, Applejack, Pinkie PIe, Bright Mac, Big Mac, Buttercup, Granny Smith, Filthy and Spoiled Rich were chasing the cultists and changelings away with the Saddle Arabian Guards and the Hippogriff soldiers by their side. Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo were riding along in Buttercup’s saddlebag while Diamond Tiara giggled with glee in Spoiled Rich’s saddlebag.
“First the Ponyville Providence Fair,” Granny Smith said with a huff. “And now the Grand Gallopin Gala. When will these misfits learn not to interrupt our cherished pastimes?”
“Knowing how they operate, ma,” Bright Mac said. “I’d say they have a knack for doing this for their own amusement, like a trio of troublemaking boys.”
“Oh don’t remind me about them,” Filthy Rich said. “Last I heard they were causing trouble since we kicked them out of La Maresa.”
“The only merit I could see with those three,” Buttercup yelled as she chased the changelings and cultists while wielding a frying pan in her right hoof. “Is that they’re not tied to world-ending evil.”
“Ma, Pa,” Applejack said. “Not to cut into the chatter, but we still got changelings and cultists to deal with.”
Big Mac turned to Bright Mac and Buttercup and said “Eeyup.” This caused Bright Mac and Buttercup to blush with embarrassment.
“Sorry bout that,” Bright Mac said. “We’ll keep focusing on those lunatics.”
Just as Applejack turned to face the retreating cultists and changelings, Pinkie Pie leaped back and bounced on her tail before jumping into the air, flying over the changelings and cultists. She landed right in front of everyone, causing the La Maresa ponies, Saddle Arabia Guards, Hippogriff soldiers, changelings and cultists to stop without delay.
“Pinkie,” Applejack yelled. “What in tarnation are you up to?”
Pinkie stretched her arms out and pulled out her party cannon in front of everyone. Bright Mac, Buttercup, Granny Smith, Big Mac, Filthy and Spoiled Rich, Applejack, the Saddle Aarabian Guards and the Hippogriff soldiers immediately ran to the side as the changelings and cultists just looked at Pinkie Pie and laughed.
“Oh look at this little pony,” a cultist said as he laughed hysterically. “She thinks she can beat us all.”
“What a joke,” the changeling said. “She couldn’t take us all down with that thing.”
As the changelings and cultists laughed hard, Pinkie Pie’s face turned into a menacing smirk as she had her left hoof hovering over the button.
“EAT DIRT, PARTY CRASHERS!” Pinkie Pie yelled with a maniacal laughter before she slammed her hoof on the button.
The party cannon fires off a powerful blast that results in a mushroom cloud of an explosion. The effect of the blast caused the changelings and cultists to go flying off into the distance. When the dust cleared, Pinkie Pie just stood there with her arms on the cannon and a smirk on her face.
Applejack and her folks stuck their heads out from behind a bush and looked at Pinkie Pie. The little apple filly jumped out and marched towards Pinkie Pie.
“Next time,” Applejack said. “Warn us before pulling that stunt, Pinkie.”
“Oops,” Pinkie Pie said as she blushed bright red and rubbed the back of her head. “Didn’t mean to overdo it. My bad, Applejack.”
Within the midst of the chaos caused by the gala guests, the Saddle Arabian guards and the Hippogriff soldiers, Baby Ocellus had her back up to a tree with a number of changelings approaching the bambino. One of them had the crystal levitated with his magic.
“Not even defeat will stop us from punishing you, little traitor,” The lead changeling said as he held the crystal out. “You will face the consequences for abandoning the hive and our queen.”
Ocellus could barely make out a word from her mouth as she sat there helplessly. The changelings continued to approach the baby with anger and spite in their eyes.
But just as the changeling with the crystal was one step closer to Baby Ocellus, Queen Novo came out of nowhere, grabbed the changeling with her beak and tossed him aside. The other changelings attempted to turn towards Queen Novo, only for the Hippogriff queen to stare down the insect-themed equines.
“You will leave this little one alone, and you will NOT BUG HER AGAIN,” Queen Novo yelled. “DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?”
The changelings screamed loudly before they turned tail and ran. Baby Ocellus looked up at Queen Novo, who approached the foal and held her claw out.
“Don’t you worry, little one,” Queen Novo said. “I won’t let your former brethren bother you again.”
“You….you mean it?” Baby Ocellus said. “After all that I did?”
“Young lady,” Queen Novo replied. “After what your so-called queen did, you deserve a better sanctuary.”
Princess Skystar ran up to Queen Novo, who picked up Baby Ocellus and gave the baby changeling a hug. Skystar stood by Silverstream and breathed a sigh of relief.
“Thank goodness,” Princess Skystar said as Silverstream leaped onto her back and cooed. “For a moment, I thought Ocellus was going to be a goner.”
As Skystar, Silverstream, Ocellus and Novo embraced each other, many changelings and cultists were running as far as they could in the front of the garden. Wonderbolts lead by Captain Airazor, Rainbow Dash and Spitfire chased the changelings out of the sky, while Fluttershy led the animals against the cult members with Ditzy Doo and Trixie joining in. They were aided by troops from Saddle Arabia, soldiers from Mount Ares, and the Equestrian Royal Guard led by Commander Thompson.
“RETREAT!” One of the changelings yelled. “EVERYONE FALL BACK!”
The changelings and the cultists ran as fast as they could out of the castle gates and through the city of Canterlot as soldiers and citizens combined drove them away.
Meanwhile, deep within the city, Coldnelius Snap tossed Chancellor Cinch around like a ragdoll, smashing her through pillars of ice that he conjured. She crashed into the ice mound that Firefly was trapped in, shattering part of the ice open. Cinch laid there and looked up at Coldnelius Snap, badly bruised from being tossed around.
“Chancellor,” Firefly yelled.
“I’m alright,” Cinch said. “Just a minor scratch.”
“A minor scratch you said?” Coldnelius Snap said as he stood atop some crates. “You have suffered for your incompetence. My partner is on her way to pick up the Man’s Cub, and finish off your princess. And you, you are in no position to fight back. You have been beaten.”
“No,” Chancellor Cinch said as she laid there. “We haven’t.”
“You haven’t?” Coldnelius Snap said with a loud chuckle. “You must be fooling yourself, governor. In mere moments, Queen Chrysalis will return with the Man’s Cub. We will convert her to our side, and turn her wrath against every pegasi, earth pony and unicorn. You will be cowering to us. Is there anything else you wish to say, you disgrace of a chancellor?”
Cinch looked undeterred. She sat there, looked down below Coldnelius Snap and said “Yeah. You talk too much.”
Cinch fired off a blast of magic from her horn right at the crate near Coldnelius Snap. The Windigo’s Guild leader looked down and just laughed it off.
“That was it?” Coldnelius Snap laughed. “How pathetic.”
“Yes,” Cinch said with a smile on her face. “That was it you fool.”
Coldnelius Snap looked down and noticed the crate was on the verge of exploding. He looked directly at the crate, seeing one word that was on it: “Fireworks.”
“Oh no,” Coldnelius Snap said.
But just before Coldnelius Snap could leap off, Chancellor Cinch covered her face as the crate full of fireworks exploded, sending Coldnelius Snap flying off into the stratosphere of the Canterlot skies.
Chancellor Cinch slowly got up as Coldnelius Snap fell downwards outside of the city boundaries. Firefly jumped out from the ice dome and landed near the Chancellor.
"Are you okay, excellency?" Firefly asked.
"Despite a bruised ego," Chancellor Cinch said. "I'm fine."
Firefly breathed a sigh of relief. She turned to her left to see Magnum still frozen in ice with a shocked look on his face.
"Don't worry," Firefly said. "I'm busting you out."
Firefly turned around and delivered a powerful roundhouse kick to Magnum’s frozen form. The resulting impact shattered the ice around Magnum, freeing the stallion Wonderbolt from his cold prison.
“What happened?” Magnum yelled. “Are we all dead?”
Firefly just giggled and said “No Magnum. The bad pony is gone thanks to the chancellor.”
“Say what?” Magnum said as he turned to face Chancellor Cinch, who just walked up to the two Wonderbolts and brushed off her dress as if nothing serious had happened, despite her injuries.
“Let’s say Coldnelius Snap had to take a trip out of Canterlot,” Chancellor Cinch said as she brushed her hair casually.
Firefly turned towards Chancellor Cinch and asked “But what about the rest of the cultists and changelings? Don’t we have them to worry about?”
“Oh I’m sure of it,” Chancellor Cinch replied. “After all, they….”
But before Cinch could finish speaking, her ears began to perk up. She, along with Firefly and Magnum, turned around to see cultists and changelings running through the streets in a panic. Without a second thought, Chancellor Cinch, Firefly and Magnum jumped into a nearby alleyway as the cult members and the bug ponies ran as fast as possible.
“....are obviously on the run,” Chancellor Cinch said with an odd look on her face.
“Well at least that’s one less threat to worry about,” Magnum said as he wiped the sweat off his forehead. “What a relief.”
Cinch looked down the alley. At the far end, there were no changelings or cultists running as fast as possible. This gave Cinch an idea.
“Come,” Cinch said. “If we hurry, we can arrive at the castle gardens in little time at all.”
Firefly and Magnum nodded as Chancellor Cinch took off with the two Wonderbolts following from behind.
Back at the front garden area of the castle, everyone brushed themselves off and started to pick each other up as the last of the changelings and cultists ran off into the distance. Danged Spell and Golden Lace approached Filthy and Spoiled Rich to help get them up, all while Cozy Glow slowly rocked Diamond Tiara in her arms. Moondancer, Rarity, Prince Blueblood and Prince Hoofar were checking up on Queen Novo, Princess Skystar, Baby Silverstream and Baby Ocellus. Applejack and Pinkie Pie were checking up on Bright Mac, Buttercup, Big Mac, Granny Smith, Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo. Fluttershy, Trixie, Starlight Glimmer, Sunburst and Ditzy Doo were checking the health of all the animals while Rainbow Dash, Spitfire and Airazor were checking out each and every one of the Wonderbolts that were present. Buck Withers along with Lemony Gem and Gad Zookes were addressing the needs of the guests who were injured because of the invasion.
King Myrrh’s flagship landed down on the castle gardens with the drawbridge extended downwards. King Myrrh stepped down from the ship and onto the grass. Prince Hoofar looked up at his father and he looked like he was about to cry.
“Father,” Prince Hoofar said.
Prince Hoofar ran up to King Myrrh, who extended his arms out. The young prince leaped and embraced his father with a big hug.
“Seems I overstepped my promise,” King Myrrh said. “But no matter. The fact that you’re safe says a whole lot for me.”
“I’m just glad you came to rescue all of us,” Prince Hoofar said.
King Myrrh looked up and saw Baby Ocellus, who was right next to Queen Novo. The baby changeling looked up and hid behind Novo’s arm.
“Son,” King Myrrh said. “There is someone I need to talk to.”
Prince Hoofar let go of King Myrrh, who walked towards Queen Novo and Baby Ocellus. The baby changeling had the sense of shame on her face.
“I…I’m in trouble, am I?” Baby Ocellus said.
“No you’re not,” King Myrrh said. “I’m only disappointed that you lied about your identity. But after discovering the reason why you did that, I can understand why. You don’t deserve to live with that sociopath of a queen. You deserve to live a free and full life. And as a matter of fact, I brought in a pair of familiar faces with me that you may recognize.”
King Myrrh stepped aside as Baby Ocellus looked into the flagship. Her eyes brightened up, for two shadows emerged from the ship. When they stepped down on the grass, their form is none other than Ocellus’ parents.
“Mom, dad,” Baby Ocellus cried.
“Ocellus,” Ocellus’ mother said. “We’ve missed you.”
Ocellus flew as fast as possible before she landed right into her mother’s arms. Her father embraced the baby daughter with a hug of her own.
“I’m sorry we forced you to live the life of an orphan,” Ocellus’ dad said.
“It’s okay,” Baby Ocellus said. “I would still have preferred that life than to be at the mercy of a slave trader.”
“What matters more is that we’re together again,” Ocellus’ mother said. “And that’s what matters the most.”
As Ocellus embraced her parents, Queen Novo walked up to King Myrrh, who looked like he was on the verge of crying.
“You seem to be full of surprises, King Myrrh,” Queen Novo said.
“What’s sad about this was that her own parents were held captive by slavers,” King Myrrh said. “Something that I would not wish upon anyone. But at the same time, they are still a target by whoever leads that despicable group.”
“Then allow me and my people to give them asylum,” Queen Novo said. “Down in Seaquestria, they will be safe.”
King Myrrh turned to Queen Novo and said “Then it will be done.”
Queen Novo smiled as Baby Silverstream and Princess Skystar laughed with joy.
Nearby, Princess Luna helped up Twilight Velvet and Night Light with Princess Cadance, Shining Armor, Sunset Shimmer and Abigail Albright nearby.
“How are you feeling?” Princess Luna asked.
“Not so well,” Twilight Velvet replied.
“It’s about Twilight, right?” Princess Cadance asked.
“It is,” Night Light said. “After seeing what Queen Chrysalis did to Princess Celestia, Twilight, Spike and even little Wanda, I don’t know what to say.”
“We’re going to put the Wonderbolts on duty to locate Princess Celestia, Princess Wanda, Twilight Sparkle and Spike,” Princess Luna said.
“Oh thank all of us,” Twilight Velvet said. “Please bring her home. I don’t know what to do without her.”
“Mrs Velvet,” Sunset said with Abigail meowing in sorrow. “Twilight is my friend, as is my sister Wanda. I want them both back as soon as possible, alongside mother. If something did happen, I ……I don’t know what to say.”
“We all don’t know what to say if that despicable queen did bring them down,” Shining Armor said. “Twilight’s my sister, and I care alot for her. And even though I’m not related to Wanda, I also care for her well-being.”
“You know,” Sunset said. “You sound like an ideal big brother for all of us, with the way you share concern for our well-being.”
“I know,” Shining Armor replied. “Twilight is my sister by blood. But I consider you, your friends, and especially your sister, a part of my own family. And as a family, we are one together.”
Sunset just laughed and said “If I had never met Twilight, I wouldn’t have met you.”
“Well now I wouldn’t say that,” Shining Armor chuckled.
Shining Armor reached down and gave Sunset Shimmer a noogie on the head, causing the little filly to giggle. Twilight Velvet and Night Light looked down and smiled a bit.
“She’s been through a lot tonight,” Twilight Velvet said. “With her own mother missing and all.”
“Well if something did happen to Princess Celestia,” Princess Luna said. “Then I am capable of looking after Sunset Shimmer.”
“And you may not have to.” Princess Luna, Night Light, Twilight Velvet, Princess Cadance, Shining Armor, Sunset Shimmer and Abigail Albright turned their heads towards the castle gate to see Chancellor Cinch, Firefly and Magnum walk through and approach the group.
“Chancellor,” Princess Luna said. “Thank goodness you’re alright.”
“You should have seen the Chancellor send that cult leader flying,” Firefly said.
“Easy, Firefly,” Chancellor Cinch said as she held her hoof out. Firefly just blushed with embarrassment.
“Sorry,” Firefly said. “You prefer to be humble.”
As Chancellor Cinch walked up to Princess Luna, the moon-themed alicorn said “So with the changelings and cultists driven out of Canterlot, our next plan is to locate Princess Celestia, Princess Wanda, Twilight Sparkle and Spike.”
“Indeed,” Chancellor Cinch said. “The only group I can think of that can take care of this are the Wonderbolts.”
“And speaking of which,” Magnum said as Captain Airazor, Rainbow Dash, Spitfire and a group of Wonderbolts approached.
Captain Airazor approached Princess Luna and said. “Princess. Is there any unfinished business that you need to take care of?”
“There is,” Princess Luna said as she pointed to a nearby empty carriage. “Princess Celestia, Princess Wanda, Twilight Sparkle and Spike are still out there, no doubt being chased by Queen Chrysalis. We must find them and bring them home.”
Chancellor Cinch turned to Night Light, Twilight Velvet, Princess Cadance, Shining Armor, Sunset Shimmer and Abigail Albright and said “Go with them. Their return is what matters the most now.”
Night Light, Twilight Velvet, Princess Cadance, Shining Armor, Sunset Shimmer and Abigail Albright nodded. They walked up to the carriage and went inside, one at a time. A group of Wonderbolts walked up to the front of the carriage as another group fastened the harness connected to the carriage onto their bodies.
Captain Airazor turned to Firefly and Magnum and said “Are you two still capable of flying?”
Magnum and Firefly flapped their wings as fast as possible, lifting off the ground and hovering in the air.
“Still capable, ma’am,” Firefly said.
“Good,” Captain Airazor said. “You’re with me.”
Captain Airazor turned to Spitfire and Rainbow Dash, who looked primed and ready.
“Spitfire, Rainbow Dash,” Captain Airazor said. “You’ll be with me as well. This will take every Wonderbolt to locate Princess Celestia, Princess Wanda, Twilight Sparkle and Spike.”
Rainbow Dash and Spitfire saluted before yelling out “Yes Ma’am.”
Princess Luna walked up to the side of the carriage and extended her wings. The Wonderbolts attached to the carriage also extended their wings as they looked prime and ready. Captain Airazor, Rainbow Dash, Spitfire, Firefly and Magnum and the rest of the Wonderbolts landed near the carriage, looking like they’re about to take off.
“All Wonderbolts,” Princess Luna yelled. “Let the search begin.”
With the flap of their wings, Princess Luna, Spitfire, Rainbow Dash, Captain Airrazor, Firefly, Magnum and the rest of the Wonderbolts run down the grass with the group pulling the carriage. With a lift of their legs, the group takes off into the air. Night Light, Twilight Velvet, Princess Cadance, Shining Armor, Sunset Shimmer and Abigail Albright looked out the window and watched as everyone appeared to be a mere spec on the ground.
“Do you think we’ll be able to find mommy, Wanda, Twilight and Spike?” Sunset Shimmer asked.
“We will,” Princess Cadance said. “And if that witch did anything to my sister, I’ll make her pay dearly.”
Back on the ground, Chancellor Cinch watched as Princess Luna and the Wonderbolts disappeared into the night sky, pulling the carriage full of relative ponies.
“Dearest Queen Eternia,” Chancellor Cinch said to herself. “Please bring them all home. I beg of you.”
