//------------------------------// // Being Rescued // Story: My Little Visitors // by TalB //------------------------------// Megan, Danny, and Molly went to the stable the next day to check up on the Mane 6 only to find out that they were gone and saw the note that they were taken. Danny feeling excited at first said, "I can't believe that Professor N Shroud was here!" Megan replied, "This isn't good Danny, because he came here and took the ponies for his show." Molly asked, "How are we supposed to get them back let alone know where they went?" Megan started to panic and said, "We really need to know where he took, but I haven't gotten clue where he could have gone with them." Danny stated, "I would believe that he is still in town somewhere to set up his remote lab, so he is probably at some abandoned warehouse." "We better get there before he televises it and exposes the ponies to the rest of the world." replied Megan. Meanwhile at Shroud's hideout, he had the Mane 6 tied up as he was ready to dissect them. At one point Twilight thought that she could free them by using her telekinesis to bring over a knife to cut the ropes only to have Shroud stop it and be able overpower her. Seeing what was going to be used had to make them feel as if the only way out was to have the Williams siblings coming over to rescue them. "Did you really think I would let you special creatures escape?" asked Shroud. "It was worth a try." replied Twilight. Shroud then stated, "Once this airs on TV, everyone will finally know that what I have is real and you six are my ticket for that." Applejack asked, "Why don't you just go after Rainbow Dash since it was her in that viral video while sparing the rest of us?" Rainbow Dash then replied sarcastically, "Thank you for saying that Applejack!" Twilight mentioned, "Let's just hope that Megan, Danny, and Molly will be here to rescue us before he exposes us." The three arrived at the warehouse that was being used for the taping. Megan said, "I will go in to get the ponies while you two will stay out here and be the lookout." Danny asked, "How come you get to go in and we don't?" Megan answered, "We can't all go in, and it's usually me who ends up saving the ponies if you remember all the other times this was done." Danny responded, "I can actually help you here." Molly added, "Danny, I think you did enough damage when you made that viral video, because if you didn't, they wouldn't have been exposed and captured in the first place." Megan did what she could to try to save the ponies. However, she wasn't able to stop Shroud and even got tied up herself. To her surprise, she couldn't even believe who Shroud really was. "Are you some kind of cyborg?" asked Megan. "So, you have figured out my little secret in that I'm not really a human or at least I was one." replied Shroud. "I don't care what you are, just let me and the ponies go, and we won't share your secret!" shouted Megan, who was hoping to blackmail Shroud. Shroud explained, "I couldn't care less if you exposed me for being a cyborg. My show has been nothing but a cover up for helping me find special creatures and object that I can use at my disposal. You and those ponies are exactly what I need to help boost my ratings, and the only difference here is that all of you are real, so the viewers will know that this time I will be telling the truth. As a matter of fact, I seem to be detecting some special energy in that locket that you have." "There is nothing special about my locket, it's just a normal locket and nothing more." replied Megan. "Don't lie to me girly, because I can feel the energy that is coming from it." said Shroud. Megan then stated, "I'm sorry I was unable to rescue you." Twilight said, "Let's just up that there is some sort of backup plan." Back outside the other two got worried about what was going on. Molly noted, "Megan has been in there for quite some time." Danny claimed, "Perhaps, we should go in try to rescue them." Molly then stated, "I feel it would be dangerous and normally, we're not even the ones who do the rescuing." Danny replied, "There's always a first time for everything." Danny and Molly decided to enter the building only to find Megan caught as well, which made Danny think of a plan. "If only there was a way to get them all freed without getting caught ourselves." stated Molly. "Maybe we can expose Shroud for who really is so that he can feel embarrassed." thought Danny. Molly asked, "Haven't your videos been the reason they are in the first place?" Danny answered, "However, another video can get them out of this mess." Danny and Molly started messing around with Shroud's stuff while claiming with his phone recording the whole thing in claiming that it was all fake only then to be caught themselves. "Do you kids really think that exposing my show for being fake will actually stop me especially when just about everything that airs on TV is fake to start with?" asked Shroud. "Actually, it wasn't going to be your show that we were going to expose." replied Danny. "Say what!?" asked Shroud feeling confused at the moment. "We can show the whole world your true form as a cyborg especially since I was recording it with my phone." Danny continued. Molly added, "We will make you a deal. You can either let our sister and the ponies go free and we'll keep your secret in return or my brother can expose your true form easily with just one tap by sending the video. The choice will be up to you." Shroud then said, "Alright, I will let them go, but you better keep your end of the bargain." The mad scientist agreed to untie Megan and the Mane 6 just to keep his secret identity, though Megan did take a jab at him for the fact that she didn't like being tied up. "That was some good thinking over there from the both of you." said Megan. "Thanks Megan!" said the both of them. They all got home thinking that they can sneak the Mane 6, but their dad caught them and wanted answers.
