//------------------------------// // Attack of the Toys // Story: Equestria Ninja Girls Magical Mayhem // by Wildcard25 //------------------------------// "So you knew Fluttershy before any of your bandmates?" Bright Eyes asked Sweetheart as they walked to the animal shelter. "Yep," Sweetheart nodded. "I do volunteer work at the Animal Shelter. But don't tell the others. They think we all met the Rainbooms when we helped Zach and Caitlyn." "I won't say anything?" Bright Eyes promised. "Besides, I've got my own secrets..." she thought about Mikey and the CMC. Then she noticed something. "And speaking of the Rainbooms. " She pointed up ahead. The Rainbooms and the Turtles, in their trench coat disguises, were standing outside the Shelter. Sunset Shimmer was talking to Fluttershy. "Are you sure you don't wanna come to the karaoke party, Fluttershy?" She asked her. "Oh, no, Sunset. I can't," Fluttershy turn down. "The thought of singing in public makes me..." she squeaked and trembled. Raph rolled his eyes. "Typical Fluttershy." "And are you sure you, Zach, and Caitlyn wanna sit this one out too, April?" Donnie asked. "We're sure, Donnie," April nodded. "We thought we'd help Fluttershy out here at the shelter," Zach added. "And after that whole magic singing biz, I think Zach and I have done enough karaoke for a while," Caitlyn said. "No worries," Sunset waved, as she and the others left. "See ya tomorrow." Everyone waved back and Zach took one of the dogs for a walk, with April and Caitlyn joining him, while Fluttershy went back inside. Sweetheart grinned slyly. She hushed Bright Eyes and motioned for her to follow. The pair snuck around and slipped in through the back door. Then they peeked out from behind a doorway and watched as Fluttershy began to sing... [Fluttershy] Do you think the coast is clear? No one to see, no one to hear Me sing out my song I think we're all alone I don't need my name in lights That's not where I set my sights Uh oh, oh no, not me I don't need a stage to sing! I like the quiet, I like the calm To turn it up, to sing along I'm not just shy Look close, and you will see There's so much more to me I'm just fine rehearsing on my own My hairbrush is my microphone Look out now, I'm in the zone Yeah! Can you feel it? I like the quiet, I like the calm To turn it up, to sing along I'm not just shy Look close, and you will see There's so much more to me I speak soft out in a crowd I whisper, "am I being too loud?" But when I close that door The crowd, it just wants more and more and mooooore I like the quiet, I like the calm (oh-whoa-whoa) To turn it up, to sing along I'm not just shy Look close, and you will see There's so much more to me I like my friends, I like my pets (oh-whoa-whoa) I like to rock, do pirouettes (oh-whoa) I'm more than shy I'm more than you can see There's so much more to me "Great song," Sweetheart said. Fluttershy jumped and whipped around to see Sweetheart and Bright Eyes standing behind her. "Sweet Heart!? Bright Eyes?!" She said, in surprise. "How-how much of that did you hear?" "Would it be before, Do you think the coast is clear?" Bright Eyes sang. "Or... There's so much more to me," Sweetheart sang next. "I also saw you sing the last time you thought no one was watching." "Oh..." Fluttershy lowered her head in embarrassment. "What’s the matter?" Bright Eyes asked. "You always sing with the Rainbooms?" "When I’m with the girls I can. But I’m not good at solos," Fluttershy trembled and squeaked again. "I get stage fright!" "I can relate," Sweetheart said. "Please don’t tell anyone you heard me singing," Fluttershy pleaded. "If we do, can the three of us all sing the song together?" Bright Eyes asked. Fluttershy smiled and nodded. A few minutes later, Sunset Shimmer came back. "Hey, Fluttershy!" She said. "I came back to say we decided to go to a movie instead, but..." she noticed that Fluttershy and Bright Eyes were holding hair brushes like they were microphones and Sweetheart had her keytar out. "Were you playing music?" "No!" Fluttershy squeaked. And Sweet Heart hid her keytar behind her back. "Okay," Sunset replied, a little confused. "Well, do you wanna come?" "I guess so," Fluttershy smiled. "You two wanna come?" Sunset asked Bright Eyes and Sweetheart. "Yeah!" Bright Eyes said. "Thanks but no thanks," Sweetheart declined. “Besides, I gotta get home.” Later, The Ninjas and Rainbooms enjoyed the movie only to have to save Mikey and Pinkie Pie who had both got stuck in the popcorn dispenser. After many attempts failed, Juniper lathered them up with butter. “They're all set, guys!” she said. “Alright, everyone, pull!” Leo ordered. They all pulled hard until Mikey and Pinkie popped right out, causing them all to fall back and crash into a wall. As they all got back up, Applejack strictly told the two. “Next time you two want popcorn, Ask!” “Noted!” Mikey and Pinkie Pie answered with their mouths full. As they left the theater, they noticed it was really late and the mall looked deserted. When they came to the main doors, they discovered they were locked. “We're locked in?!” Raph cried. “You gotta be kidding me!” Rainbow shouted as she shook the bars on the doors. “Sorry, guys. The doors are on an automatic time lock. We're stuck here till morning,” Juniper sighed. Raph growled at Mikey and Pinkie. “Argh! This is all your fault, you two!” Sunset Shimmer stopped him. “Calm down, Raph. Yelling at them is not gonna open the door.” “What are we gonna do?” Blade wondered. Donnie pulled out his T-phone. “I better let April, Zach, and Caitlyn know about this.” “What about our parents?” Fluttershy worried. “Worse yet! What’re we gonna eat?” Rainbow added Sunset Shimmer thought for a bit before answering. “Maybe there’s a security guard somewhere around here.” Bright Eyes looked around. “Sooner the better. This place is kinda spooky with no people around.” “I do have some keys that open some of the stores and food courts,” Juniper held out a ring of keys. “Sweet! Then I'm checking out the food court!” Mikey beamed before running to the location. “Me too!” Pinkie followed after him. “I'll go with them to make sure they don't get stuck somewhere again,” Wallflower headed over as well. “Okay. Let’s go to the food court. We might as well get comfortable,” Leo suggested. Everyone agreed and they all headed to the food court. Meanwhile, a security guard was about to check the monitors when he was suddenly knocked out cold from behind by a pair of thieves. A skinny one and a fat one. “Ha ha, nice one!” the skinny thief chuckled. The Fat Thief smiled. “Yeah! Now let's get'm in the closet!” As they stuff the guard in the closet, the fat thief took a bunch of keys from him and taunted. “You won't mind us borrowing your keys, thank you, sir. Now he's gonna have a nice little nap.” “While we rob every register in the whole mall!” The skinny thief finished. The Fat Thief grinned. “Let's hit the toy store first.” As they walked off laughing, they were unaware of the Turtles, Rainbooms, Blade Swipe, Bright Eyes, Wallflower, and Juniper on the monitors. And they were also unaware of an orb of Equestrian Magic floating around. Soon, the two snuck in the toy store. The skinny thief then noticed something. “Hey! Check out these action figures!” “Let's get the money first. Then we'll stop by for a bonus,” The fat thief grunted before giving orders. “I'll empty the register. You keep an eye out.” As the Skinny Thief watched the entrance, the orb of Equestrian magic spread all over the action figures and they all looked at the Skinny Thief. As the Fat Thief emptied the register, he then heard the Skinny Thief scream. “Hey. Everything alright?” he called. The fat thief looked around with no sign of the skinny thief. As he looked around, thousands of eyes are looking right behind him. Back at the Food Court, Leo was watching a video with Twilight on her phone when he perked up. “You guys hear something?” he asked the group. “Sorry. Who could hear anything through those two?” Raph pointed to Mikey and Pinkie who are eating like crazy. “What did you hear, Leo?” Sunset asked. “It sounded like screaming.” “Could it be the security guard?” Rarity pondered. Rainbow frowned. “Why would he scream?” “Maybe it's a ghost,” Fluttershy shivered. Leo got up. “I'm gonna go check it out.” “I'll go with you,” Twilight volunteered and the two headed off to find the source of the scream. Back at the toy store, the fat thief was still looking for his partner. “Hey, buddy, where are you?” he called out. His answer came in the form of a giant stuffed hand grabbing him. Just then, Leo and Twilight entered the store. “You sure that scream came from here, Leo?” Twilight asked as she looked around. “I definitely heard it from- no way!” “What?” Twilight followed Leo who ran over to line of figures. “They have the live action Captain Ryan figure!” Leo geeked out. When he saw Twilight giving him a flat look, he quickly cleared his throat. “Right, got to focus on the scream. I'll look that way.” “And I'll look this way," Twilight pointed As they walked away, the Captain Ryan figure watched them. As Twilight looked around, she saw something and froze. She trembled as she tried to get Leo’s attention. “Uh, Leo, I think some Equestrian Magic found it's way in here!” “Why do you say that?” Leo asked. Twilight pointed and he turned around to see an army of toys and stuffed animals. Meanwhile, a giant stuffed gorilla dumped the Fat Thief next to the Skinny One. “What happened?” the fat thief asked his comrade. “These toys grabbed me and stared carrying me off, until I told them to put me down, so they did. And hey, watch this,” The skinny thief pointed to the toys. “Lift up one hand.” The toys did as they were told. “Now hop on one foot.” They hopped on one foot. “Let me try,” The fat thief smiled then told the toys. “Okay, dance around!” The toys danced as the fat thief smirked. “These toys will do whatever we tell them.” Suddenly, their fun was interrupted by a girl screaming. “What was that?” the skinny thief looked around to see Twilight and Leo backing away from the toys. “Well well what have we here?” “Looks like someone missed the closing time,” The fat thief stated. The skinny thief turned to his partner. “You thinking what I’m thinking?” “That we use our new buddies to keep them distracted long enough for us to grab the cash and leave?” “Yep,” The two thieves leaned out and screamed, pretending to be in trouble. This was enough to cause the two ninjas to look and run to their rescue. Leo and Twilight ran around the corner only to find the stuffed animals waiting for them. “We might need backup!” Leo stated as they dodged some toys. “Good idea.” Twilight agreed as Leo pulled her from a giant teddy bear. The two managed to hide while the toys look for them and Leo pulled out his T phone. “Donnie? Mayday! Get to the toy store! The toys came to life!” he whispered. “Toys? Come to life? Are you sure you’re not paranoid Leo?” Donnie asked through the T phone. Annoyed, Leo yelled. “ITS EQUESTRIAN MAGIC, DONNIE!” Leo then realized what he did as Twilight put her hand over his mouth as the stuffed animals found them and started to pile on them. Their screams could be heard through Donnie’s T phone. “Whoops,” The smart turtle whispered before turning to the others. “Guys! Leo and Twilight need our help in the toy store! It’s Equestrian magic!” “Let’s go!” Sunset cried. As everyone headed to the toy store, Blade turned to Fluttershy, who had Bright Eyes sleeping on her. “Keep an eye on Bright Eyes, Fluttershy.” “Okay,” the shy girl nodded. Everybody ran to the toy store and found Leo and Twilight trapped under a toppled shelf. “What happened?” Karai asked as Applejack lifted the shelf off them. Leo and Twilight explained about the toys and the two thieves. “We better find those punks and fast!” Rainbow declared. “We better split up,” Leo ordered and paired everyone off. After the groups split up, Rarity led Applejack, Karai, and Shini to a spa section of the mall. “I don't know, Rarity? I ain't exactly the spa type,” Applejack looked unsure. “Same here,” Karai agreed. “Oh, come now, darlings. You simply must give it a try!” Rarity smiled. “I think I prefer my natural look,” Shinigami muttered. “Nonsense, dear, now let's go!” Rarity pushes them in, while unaware that an army of dolls were following them in. Rarity smiled as she saw the spa gear. “This should give us an edge against those crazed toys!” “I don't need some fancy dodads to fight plastic,” Applejack huffed. Karai rolled her eyes. “I never needed such equipment when I worked for Shredder.” Suddenly, Rarity let out a huge gasp. They all look at Rarity who looked shocked. “See something you don't like?” Shini asked bluntly. “Them!” Rarity pointed. They all turned to see the dolls all holding makeup equipment before they jumped at them. Screams could be heard outside the spa section and the dolls were knocked out as the girls came out with their hair and make up ruined. “Not again!” Applejack hollered, her face covered in make up, remembering when Rarity tried to give her a makeover for the Fall Formal. Karai's hair was done up in a mohawk and she was on the verge of turning into her mutant form. “It took me years to get this look right!” Shini's hair was dyed magenta," Magenta is not my color!” All three looked at Rarity, who looked worse than all three of them. The dolls had made her look like a clown. “MY COMPLEXION! This time, it's personal!” They all glared at the dolls and chased them into an elevator, when they found it empty, the door closed and it went up, before coming to an abrupt stop. “What in tarnation just happened?” Applejack asked. “Look!” cried Karai. They all looked out and saw the dolls were pushing the buttons on both floors, making the elevator go up and down repeatedly. “I think I'm going to be sick!” Rarity groaned. Karai hit the emergency stop button and the elevator halted. Then shortly after everyone sighed in relief, until they felt a sudden jerk. “What was that?” Shinigami asked. “Give me a boost, y'all!” Applejack said. Karai and Shini lifted her up on their hands and she opened the emergency hatch and her eyes widened. “Well? What's happening?” Karai asked. “They're cuttin' us loose!” Sure enough, Applejack was right. The dolls were using cable cutters to cut the elevator cables. As they snipped the final cable and the elevator plummeted, Shinigami used her chain to snag something and the others held on to her as they were pulled through the emergency hatch and watched as the elevator smashed onto the ground and was demolished. “Next time, I’ll take the stairs,” Shini joked. Meanwhile, Raph, Rainbow, Casey, and Keno were entering the sports department. “They better not mess this place up,” Rainbow glared. “You think any of these are affected as well?” Keno feared. “Very unlikely. According to Twilight, it only affected that toy store,” Raph remembered. Just then, Casey heard something and whacked it, startling everyone, only to find a deflated basketball. “Congratulations, Jones. I think it saw it’s last game.” Keno joked. “I know I heard something!” Casey snapped, before he felt something hit him in the head. “OW!” Everyone turned to see some toys firing soft balls with a ball launcher hitting them and they all took cover. “Our rear’s cut off, sarge!” Keno stated. “What now?” Raph asked. “Time for a new game," Casey pulled out a cricket bat. “Cricket.” “Cricket? No one understands Cricket. You gotta know what a crumpet is to understand Cricket,” Rainbow pointed out. “I’ll teach you guys!” Casey started hitting back at the toys. “Six runs.” The others joined in fighting back and Rainbow Dash spiked a ball right back into the launcher, jamming it. “Ah, yeah! Game set and match!” she cheered. “That all you toys got?” Casey taunted. The toys responded by aiming more ball launchers with bigger balls at them. “You two, just had to open your mouths!” Raph growled. The toys opened fire and the four get pelted and buried. Some of the toys high-five and ran. Shortly after the four burst out and gave chase. In another part of the food court, Mikey and Pinkie were still eating while Blade sat there watching them. “I’ve seen so many wonders in my travels, but the extent of your stomachs is beyond me,” he sighed. Mikey was still eating before he noticed some action figures looking at them and swallowed nervously. He then started poking Pinkie to get her attention. “Duh! We can’t fight on an empty stomach.” Pinkie answered Blade when she noticed Mikey poking her. “What’s up, Mikey? Oh hey, evil toys. AAAAAAAAH!” The Figures began to attack the trio, who jumped behind a counters and Mikey started throwing apples at them. “An apple a day keeps the evil toys away,” he joked. Pinkie grabbed two ketchup and mustard bottles and aimed at the toys. “Nobody move! These things are loaded! I’ll let you have it!” Looking scared at first, the toys continued to march so Pinkie was screaming while squirting them. Blade grabbed a drink hose and started spraying soda at the toys. “Drinks are on me!” he shouted. This was able to stall them long enough for the three to run, with the toys right behind them. As they ran, Mikey and Pinkie Pie grabbed every piece of food they pass by. “At a time like this, you two are still thinking of stomachs?!” Blade asked bluntly. “This food's not for eating, silly,” Pinkie giggled. “They’re for this,” Mikey added as they both stopped. “Booyakasha!” They threw the food and knock the toys over like bowling pins. “Strike!” cheered Pinkie. “Admittingly resourceful,” Grinned Blade. “Yeah, boy!” cried Mikey. But their celebration didn’t last long. More toys began to show up. The three were ready to run again when suddenly they heard a horn. Then, Juniper and Wallflower came riding in, with Wallflower driving a security buggy and Juniper driving a segway. They ran over the toys and stopped near the three. “Come on!” they cried. Blade jumped on with Juniper while Mikey and Pinkie Pie rode with Wallflower. “Nice save, girls!” Mikey smiled. “Thank Juniper. She knew where to find these things and thankfully had the keys,” Wallflower stated. “The truth is we were looking for security. All this going on and he’s nowhere in sight,” Juniper confessed. “Maybe we should look for him after we meet up with the others,” Blade suggested. “Agreed,” nodded Juniper as they continued to drive. “I hope Bright Eyes is okay,” Mikey hoped. Back in the food court, Bright Eyes was still fast asleep on Fluttershy's lap. As she rubbed the young pony turned human’s hair, Fluttershy looked up to see if her friends were back yet. “I wonder if the others have run into any of the toys?” the shy girl thought. Suddenly, she heard a smash and saw the two thieves breaking into another store. “Oh no!” she gasped and then began to shake Bright Eyes. “Bright Eyes, wake up.” Meanwhile, the others regrouped and were surrounded by the toys. “Alright, ninjas! Let's show these toys the meaning of play time!” Leo declared before turning to Twilight. “Got our secret weapon?” “Ready and willing,” she answered. As they fought off the toys, Twilight used her magic tracker to absorb the magic out of them. Karai stomped on one of the dolls like crazy. “And stay down!” Mikey, Pinkie Pie, Casey, Keno, and Rainbow Dash noticed Karai, Shini, Applejack, and Rarity’s state and all laughed. “That's a nice look for girls!” Casey chuckled. “Yeah, looks like those toys really got you!” Rainbow laughed her head off. “Tell anyone about this, and you'll regret it!” Rarity threatened. Mikey was able to stop laughing as he walked up to Shini. “That's actually a good look for ya, Shini.” “While I appreciate your compliment, Michelangelo, this color clashes with my complexion,” sighed Shini. “Well, at least there won't be any more rampaging toys,” Donnie assured. Wallflower looked to the side and her eyes widened. “Oh, no! Look!” She pointed. “Look at what- aaahh!” Mikey screamed. Everyone looked to see a huge army of toys marching towards them. “And... I spoke to soon,” Donnie sighed. “Ah, sewer bunnies!” groaned Raph. Despite the ninjas fighting valiantly, the toys used their size, numbers, and teamwork to their advantage. Some kept them busy, then others stole their weapons and the girls geodes and tied them up tight with cable jump ropes. When they tried to break out, the toys would either hit them with bats they stole from sports store or shock them with tazers they raided from the security office. Even when Karai went snake mode, a lot of the toys dodged her strikes and tied her up before hitting her in the head with a bat, knocking her out as well. Then as she was the last one tied up, a couple military soldier figures took the tracker from Twilight. “No!” cried Twilight, trying to reclaim it but she was tazed and fell unconscious. Later, everyone woke up to find the toys had them all lined up, restrained. “Well this is embarrassing,” Sunset sighed. "Tell me about it!" Karai muffled. The toys had tied up her mouth. Raph growled as he tried to break loose. “Just wait till I get out of here! I’m gonna crush you all so hard it’ll make your warranty sore!” “What are they gonna do to us?” Wallflower feared. Suddenly, They heard a whistle, then they all turned to see a mall train piloted by some teddy bears heading straight towards them and realized they were laying tied to a track! “You’ve got to be kidding?” Karai bluntly said, through her ropes. Blade struggled in vain. “I didn’t get mutated, shunned, and manipulated just to be ended by a child’s play thing!” “Leo! What do we do now?” Twilight asked her turtle friend. “Trying. To. Reach. For my. Small blade!” Leo grunted, trying to reach for it. “Hurry, Leo!” Donnie cried as the train moved closer. “Isn’t this the part where the writer says ‘To be continued’?” Pinkie whimpered. As the train got closer, Mikey screamed and pulled his head into his shell. It was looking like Leo was it’s first victim. “LEO/LEONARDO!” Everyone cried. All Leo could do was scream and brace himself for what appeared to be his fate, when suddenly there came a loud clank, followed by a grinding noise. After a second of nothing, Leo opened his eyes and saw the train was being held back by big toy robots. “Dude?” Casey asked shocked. Leo was more surprised by what was standing in front of him. “Captain Ryan?!” Sure enough, it was the Captain Ryan action figure Leo admired earlier. The figure then nodded while a big stuffed gorilla grabbed the teddy bears off the train controls. “Seriously?” Raph grumbled, knowing he’s not gonna live this down. “Our hero!” Mikey and Pinkie cheered. Then, the army of toys surrounded them ready to attack, but the Captain Ryan figure raised his hand and pointed up as a trumpet blared. Then the evil toys and the ninjas look up to see a bigger army of toys looking down at them from the second floor. The trumpet sound came from a toy radio. Then the good toys jumped down and attacked the evil ones. “Well, that’s a heck of a toy story,” Rainbow said, and everyone looked at her. “Well, someone had to say it.” As the fight pursued, some the good toys freed the ninjas while Captain Ryan, riding the gorilla, chased after the toy soldiers as they ran away with the Magic Tracker. The gorilla smacked the soldiers away, then Ryan seized the Tracker and tossed it back to Twilight. “Yes!” she cheered as she used the tracker to absorb the magic out of all the toys. Captain Ryan gave a salute to the ninjas before he was de-animated. Leo paid his respect by saluting back. “Well this is ironic,” Applejack sighed. “Nearly done in by toys only to be rescued by them,” Donnie agreed. Pinkie Pie was hugging some of the good toys. “I know! They were so brave!” Just then, Fluttershy and Bright Eyes hurried to the group. “Oh. Thank goodness we found you!” Fluttershy sighed in relief. “What happened?” Bright Eyes asked. “We stopped some toys that were fueled by Equestrian magic,” Rainbow boasted. “Though we did have some help,” Applejack put in. “What brought you two here?” Juniper asked. Bright Eyes explained. “Fluttershy saw two thieves robbing some stores, woke me up, and we went looking for you.” Twilight asked Fluttershy. “Were they a fat and skinny guy?” “Uh huh!” “Must be the same guys we saw at the toy store!” Leo stated. “They must have used the toys as a distraction while they rob the mall!” Sunset deduced. Raph cracked his knuckles. “Let’s get them.” “Juniper, you take Wallflower and Bright Eyes and find security,” Leo ordered. “On it!” Leo looked to the group. “The rest of us will stop those crooks!” Everyone nodded then left to their destinations. Meanwhile, The two crooks smashed a register and emptied the money in a sacked, laughing, as the fat thief chuckled. “Easiest heist we ever pulled!” “Yeah. Maybe we should bring those toys along on all our jobs!” The skinny thief agreed. “I'm afraid they’re not gonna be much help!” The thieves turned to see Leo and Twilight standing in the door way. “It's that girl and that trench coat guy again!” gasped the fat thief. “I thought those toys tied you up!” The skinny thief said before the fat thief nudged him. “I mean, not that I would know!” “Save it! We know you two sent those toys to try and off us!” Leo glared. “While you were free to steal from every store!” Twilight finished. The fat thief pointed his bat at Leo. “Ah, so what if we did! What'cha gonna do about it?” Leo answered by pulling out his swords, then sliced and diced the bat, making it fall to pieces out of the Fat Thief's hand. “Let's bail!” The skinny thief threw the register at Leo and Twilight, and while they dodged, the two thieves ran out the door. “They got away!” Twilight frowned. Leo, on the other hand, smirked. “Too bad, they won't get far.” The two thieves kept running until they ran into Raph and Sunset, they turned another way only to find it blocked by Donnie and Fluttershy, they turned and found Mikey and Pinkie Pie. Each direction they tried to go was blocked by the rest of the allies and Rainbooms. “There's more girls and guys in trench coats?!” the skinny thief gasped. Leo and Twilight then appeared behind them. “When I said "us" I didn't necessarily mean her and me.” Casey patted his bat. “Those toys did a lot of messed up stuff to us! So, we're taking it out on you!” “And you two are going to pay for what those play things did to me!” Rarity declared. The fat thief pleaded. “Hey, hey, listen. Maybe we can talk this out, huh? What'ya say?” “Alright, how should we start? In your stomachs or your faces?!” Raph smirked. “How about a third option?” the skinny thief whimpered before the ninjas attacked the two. Meanwhile, Juniper, Wallflower, and Bright Eyes headed to the monitors room and Juniper opened the door as they entered. “There’s no one here!” she gasped. “Is he on break?” Wallflower guessed. “Very unlikely. These guys take their jobs seriously!” Juniper pointed out. Bright Eyes walked up by the closet and opened it and yelped as the unconscious guard fell out. “Is this him?” she pointed out. “I guess those crooks got to him first,” Juniper sighed. “Then he won’t be knowing what is going on,” Wallflower added. Then, an idea came to Bright Eyes. “Hey! That’s a good idea, Wallflower!” “Huh?” Both Wallflower and Juniper asked. “Help me get him on his chair. Then we need to quickly find the others!” Later, the guard woke up with a headache and saw the crooks tied up on the monitors. When morning came and the doors came unlocked, the ninjas were long gone. They met up with April, Zach, Caitlin, and Fugitoid at the CHS statue and explained everything. Zach and Caitlin laughed their heads off while April couldn’t help but chuckle as she patted Donnie’s shoulder. “Are you kidding! You're all trained ninjas and you got beaten by toys!” Zach laughed. “It's not that funny!” grumbled Rainbow. “Oh, I concur. It's hilarious!” Caitlin smirked as she and Zach laughed harder. Even Bright Eyes couldn’t help but laugh hearing what happened while she was asleep. “And I thought the cake incident was funny, but you all got subdued by toys and had to be rescued by them?!” She almost fell over laughing. Pinkie Pie giggled as well. “Well, it is pretty funny when you think about it.” “More like embarrassing,” huffed Raph. “Well, at least I was able to erase all the security footage. So no one will know what happened,” Donnie smiled, knowing their secret was safe. “And we gift wrapped those crooks for the police,” Rainbow added. “Yeah! And just in time for breakfast!” Casey stretched. “Yeah. I could go for some coffee,” Blade yawned. “We can head over to Sweet Apple Acres and I’ll whip us up some breakfast,” Applejack offered. “I’ll help cook,” Fugitoid volunteered. “I just need to change and I’ll be joining you guys,” Juniper mentioned before she headed out. As everyone else headed to Sweet Apple Acres, Mikey and Blade walked by Bright Eyes. “Gotta admit. That was good thinking back there, Bright Eyes. Making sure the security guard didn’t know what really happened,” Mikey grinned. “You really think so?” Bright Eyes smiled. “Indeed,” nodded Blade. “Definitely worthy of a ninja. Princess Twilight would be proud.” Bright Eyes stopped looking depressed. She wanted to believe that but felt Princess Twilight would still not trust her. “Everything alright, Bright Eyes?” Blade asked. Bright Eyes quickly changed her face to a smile. “Oh it’s nothing. Let’s get some breakfast.” Blade and Mikey looked at each other confused, but shrugged it off as all three went to catch up with the others.
