Episode 26: Meanwhile, In Maretime Bay...

“Alright guys. This is it. The Xenon homebase. We destroy that. The Xenon are toast.” Hitch said. “You guys ready?”

“Let’s trash some toasters!” Melody exclaimed.

“Alright then. Melody, Crystal, Sky, engage the defense turrets, Trail, Lightning, Lumber, engage the enemy fighters. Pedal, Sprinkle, Mystic. You’re with me to blast the central core from the inside. Spike, You use the Chimera to provide cover for us and pound those capital ships.” Hitch barked out orders.

“Roger!” Everypony said.

“Alright. Let’s kick their flanks!” Birch said.

With that, the kids and Hitch all threw their ships into maximum throttle and blasted towards the enemy.

While Sparkler, Light and Dark went off to Detrot to look for something that could help them get home, Hitch decided to take the rest of the kids to the Net Cafe to introduce them to some of the computer games he had grown fond of. And as he had hoped, the kids were living every second of it.

Sprinkle, Pedal, and Mystic were in anti-fighter corvettes blasting at the enemy fighters. Mystic was on a heading that woulda caused her to crash into Pedal if she didn’t correct her course, but she had planned to pull up. But just as she was about to pull the maneuver, her vision flashed and she found herself staring out of her mother’s eyes and hearing what she heard. And lo and behold, she did not like what she saw and heard.

“Mommy Twi, No!” She gasped as the image disappeared and she returned to her own location.

“Mystic! You just crashed into me!” Pedal exclaimed.

Mystic glanced down at her computer screen and saw that she died. She glanced over at Pedal and saw the same thing. “Oh, Sorry Pedal. I got distracted.” She said.

“You screamed Mommy Twi No…are you OK Mystic?“ Crystal asked as Hitch paused the game.

Mystic took a deep breath. “Pedal. Sprinkle, did you two get a flash from Mom’s memory?” She asked.

“No?” Pedal and Sprinkle responded.

“Well I did…Mom’s watching logs left by Night Mare right now, and Night Mare just revealed that Mommy Twi…she died!” Mystic exclaimed as her eyes watered.

“What?!” All the kids exclaimed. “Died?”

“Yeah…” Mystic closed her eyes and went back into the link, trying to figure out what happened. “Apparently, Mommy Twi loves us so much that when we disappeared, she shirked off all her other duties trying to get us back. And when efforts kept failing, she drove herself to insanity, to the point where she had to go to a mental hospital. And when magic vanished…she…” Mystic stopped, not wanting to go any further as she left the link.

The kids listened, and the looks on their faces were ones of horror. “Oh my Faust. She really…” Melody asked.

“I just witnessed it.” Mystic said.

The horrid looks turned to looks of sadness. The kids all sighed. “Dang. This bites.” Sky said.

“Well…don’t worry guys.” Hitch said, trying to cheer the kids up. “I’m sure the Timegate will bring you back to before Twilight goes downhill.” He said.

“I hope so—“ Pedal said before she got a flash too. “Wait! I got something.” She said. She studied what she was seeing, before smiling. “Good news, they found something! The four Magical signatures we can’t get here, plus an extra one!” She exclaimed.

“Wait, for real?” Trail asked.

“That means we have the means to recreate the accident for real!” Crystal said.

“Oh thank goodness!” Mystic said.

The kids cheered. Happy that they now had a real shot of getting home. Hitch sighed in relief. “Well that’s a way to stomp out the sadness.” He said. Happy that the kids weren’t gonna be sad the rest of the day.


Meanwhile, out in Maretime Bay, Pipp and Sunny flew side by side as they headed for Canterlogic, where, after a quick text to the kids, they hoped to find Flurry Heart, who got out again. Pipp shook her head. “How in the world do Flurry’s parents do it?” Pipped asked. “A regular thing her getting out. Sounds like more trouble than it’s worth.”

“I kinda hope now that my future kids don’t have that ability at Flurry’s age.” Sunny said.

“You want to be a mother?” Pipp asked.

“Mhm.” Sunny responded. “Izzy and I talked about it one time and she seemed pretty enthusiastic about the idea of us having biological kids.” Sunny explained.

“Are you sure she understands what that would entail?” Pipp asked.

“I explained it to her.” Sunny said.

“Good.” Pipp responded.

They came in for a landing at Canterlogic and entered the building. Sunny went up to the front desk and asked if she could put out an announcement that there was a baby on the loose in the building. The receptionist made the announcement and Sunny and Pipp, knowing full well they were probably not allowed to waltz around the building, sat patiently in the waiting area.

“So. Have you ever wanted kids Pipp?” Sunny asked.

“I thought about it. And having a kid or two would be nice. Although I will NOT be the kind of mom my own mom is.” Pipp responded.

“Yeah. She’s kinda cray cray with what she tried to pull with Sky and Sprinkle.” Sunny admitted. “And one or two? How about 11?” Sunny asked with a chuckle.

Pipp laughed. “Oh I definitely don’t have it in me to give birth to 11 kids. Even adoption is a little iffy.“ She said.

“Sparkler and Twilight are amazing for being able to raise 9 kids. And for it to be a possibility to have more.” Sunny said.

“Yeah.” Pipp said. “But not as amazing as you…” She said under her breath.

“What?” Sunny asked, not catching that.

“What?” Pipp asked.

“Did you say something under your breath?” Sunny asked.

“No.” Pipp lied. “I didn’t.”

“…Ok then.” Sunny said.

At that moment, they heard a throat clearing and they turned to see a very, VERY annoyed Sprout holding out an equally annoyed Flurry. “I believe this is yours?” He asked.

Sunny and Pipp got up and Sunny took Flurry from Sprout. “Thanks Sprout.” She said.

“I swear to Faust you bringing back magic is causing more trouble than it’s worth.” Sprout commented as he turned to leave.

Flurry glared at his direction and lit her horn. She lifted up a magazine from a table, rolled it up, and smacked Sprout upside the head with it. “No!” She said.

Sprout yelped when the magazine hit him and he whipped back around. “Hey!” He said.

Flurry just sneered at him and spit at him. Sprout screamed and ran away. Pipp watched Sprout go and giggled. “Wow Flurry.” She said as she took the magazine back from Flurry. “You do not like Sprout do you.” She said.

Flurry shook her head and pouted. Sunny giggled. “Well it’s nice to know that you have Melody’s back.” She said. “Now, wanna go home?” She asked.

Meanwhile, Sprout returned to his little hidey hole and growled. “That brat! How does she keep finding me!” He asked as he approached the top of something covered in a cloth. “Grah! It doesn’t matter. Soon, my master plan will come to fruition, and Earth Ponies will reign supreme after that. Mwahahaha!”
