//------------------------------// // Turtles vs Meanbooms // Story: Equestria Ninja Girls Magical Mayhem // by Wildcard25 //------------------------------// Having convinced Mikey to finally speak up, the group looked around the school for Raph and the others until finally they found them all seemingly looking for something. “Guys, guys!” Mikey called. “There's something I need to tell you... all...” he paused as he and the others noticed they were calling for Leo, Donnie, April, Karai, Shinigami, and Spike. Not only that, but they also saw that Raph, Casey, and Gabby were covered in trash. “Ugh!” Trixie gagged at the state of Raph's group. “And why are you guys covered in garbage?” “Long story.” Raph deadpanned. “What's going on?” Blade asked. “Leo and the others are missing.” Carter answered. “Missing?” Bright Eyes blinked. “Yeah.” Keno nodded. “I've been trying to call them but none of them are answering.” Caitlyn spoke as she checked her phone. “We think something might have happened to them!” Buffy feared. Mikey, Blade, Bright Eyes, Lancer, Wallflower, and Trixie looked at each other. They all had a sneaking suspicion that some certain evil clones might've had something to do with that. But before they could say anything…. “There they are!” They all heard voices and saw Leo, Donnie, April, Karai, Shinigami, and Spike running out of the wooded area with the Wondercolts. “Guys!” Leo smiled. “Where've you been?” Raph scolded. “It's a long story. Why are you covered in trash?” Donnie pointed. “Just what I said.” Trixie leaned over before Raph angrily pushed her back. “Applejack happened to us, that's what!” Casey explained. “First she tricked us into going into a dumpster and then sent us rolling away in it!” “Right after Rarity ran off with all our stuff!” Gabby finished. Karai stepped forward. “Actually, that wasn't the real Rarity and Applejack who did those things.” “Huh?” Raph double took. “And when Fluttershy deceived you guys earlier, that wasn't the real Fluttershy.” Leo confirmed. “What?” Casey raised a brow. “Que?” Gabby was equally confused. Lancer whispered to Mikey. “Looks like they did find out on their own.” Mikey nodded. “What are you guys talking about?” Zach asked. “Yeah?” Keno added. Donnie took a deep breath. “Okay, this is totally gonna sound like something Mikey would say, but someone made evil clones of the Rainbooms. Just like when Chrysalis made evil clones Princess Twilight and her friends.” “That, actually explains a lot.” Raph admitted. Angel raised her hand. “Uh, can someone explain all this clone business, cause some of us don't have a clue?” “Um, well, it's quite an interesting story.” Fugitoid walked up and pulled up holographic pictures and scenes as he explained. “You see, during our last visit to Equestria, we heard about an incident involving Queen Chrysalis, one of the enemies of Equestria, and some evil clones of Princess Twilight and her friends, who Mikey dubbed The Mean 6. Chrysalis had created them to wield the Elements of Harmony, six of the most powerful relics in Equestria, to destroy our friend Starlight Glimmer. Each clone was the exact opposite of their counterpart. Fluttershy's was nasty, Pinkie Pie's was a grump, Rarity's was insanely greedy, Applejack's was a liar, Rainbow Dash's was uncaring, and Twilight's was rude and deceitful. They each crossed paths with their counterparts, during a planned camping retreat, and confusion occurred. And they nearly drove the girls apart. And when they finally made it to the Tree of Harmony, where the Elements were, this happened... He projected a video of what the Tree showed them. “Whoa!” Carter jaw dropped. “Heavy.” Zach whispered. “Si.” Gabby agreed. As Fugitoid ended, Leo continued. “Spike and I along with Flash encountered Twilight’s clone who said harsh things about us.” “She called me mutt, something our Twilight would NEVER do.” Spike snarled, still angered at that. Leo patted his head as he continued. “That was when we knew she was a clone, but Sunset’s clone knocked us out and threw us in the storage closet. Flash snuck out and got help and got us out.” “Shini and I were checking backstage when we saw the clone Rarity hogging everyone’s stuff.” Karai added. “She trapped us with the trap door.” Shini pointed out. “I was suspicious when Pinkie claimed the things we saw her clone do, then me and Donnie saw another Rainbow Dash breaking windows.” April continued. “We followed her to the shed where she got the jump on us and tied us in the shed. Luckily, these guys got us out as well.” Donnie nodded. “Took a bit, but I was able to get everyone to believe me that those weren’t the Rainbooms.” Flash admitted. “So it was evil clones this whole time?” Gabby asked. “They're right.” Mikey spoke, getting everyone's attention. “That's what I wanted to talk to you guys about. I figured it out after Fluttershy was accused, when Lancer suggested there might've been someone who looked and sounded like her.” He motioned to his group as he continued. “So, we all tried to get proof by taking pictures of the evil clones and the Rainbooms then show them to Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna. But the evil clones somehow found out and deleted all our evidence!” Everyone stared at him for a moment before Raph spoke up, sounding angry. “So let me get this straight, you knew that there were evil clones this whole time, and you didn't TELL US?! Not to mention you went behind our backs again!” Donnie was equally angry. “Are you KIDDING ME, MIKEY?! You realize we could have avoided all this if you had just told us from the start?!” “Well, I-“ Mikey tried to explain before Raph shouted at him more. “Forget the Green Man incident and the incident with the CMC, THIS is stupidest thing you've ever done!” “Why didn't tell us, Mikey?! What in your IDIOTIC MIND even possessed you to do this?!” Donnie hollered before Leo stood between them and Mikey. “Because he thought we wouldn't believe him!” he interjected, making Raph and Donnie stop and look at him, as he continued dismally. “Sunset's clone told me when she and Twilight's clone captured me and Spike. Mikey lost all trust in us after we dismissed him about Cozy Glow.” “What?” gasped April. “Dude, seriously?” Casey blinked. “You’re kidding?” Keno sighed. “But we all promised to listen to him?” Karai interjected. “He didn't believe us.” Leo lowered his head. Everyone looked at the party turtle as Shini spoke up. “Mikey?” “Are you serious?” Raph asked. “Mikey, you really didn't believe us?” Donnie worried. “Well none you ever believed me! You didn't believe me about the Kraang! You didn't believe me about Pizzaface! Three times! You didn't believe me about Mom Thing! You didn't believe me about Wingnut and Screwloose! And you didn't believe me about Cozy Glow! So why should I believe you?!” Mikey hollered. Everyone was shocked at what they heard as Caitlyn spoke. “Wait? None of you ever listened to him, despite that fact that he'd been right multiple times before?” “For real?” Zach raised a brow. “Did you guys even bother to check if he was right?” Carter stated. Leo, Donnie, Raph, April, and Casey just looked sheepish as they lowered their heads. “I think that's a great big no.” Applebloom popped up. “Wow. You all suck at listening!” Angel huffed. “That's right, they never listened to me! Because they all think I'm just a goofball who's too dumb to ever be right!” Mikey cried. “Not cool, dudes, so not cool!” Sandalwood folded his arms. “I always believe Pinkie no matter how silly she acts.” Maud mumbled. “Looks like this whole mess isn't ALL Mikey's fault?” Gabby glared. Mikey continued. “Oh, and it's not just that, but I'm still mad at you guys for being jerks to me during the Green Man incident, when Caitlyn ratted out me and Keno, and right now! I know I messed up, but you didn't have to be so nasty to me about it! I have feelings, dudes, FEELINGS!” Leo, Donnie, and Raph all felt guilty about how they treated their own brother. “Ah sewer apples!” Raph breathed. Buffy then stood forward. “Though what are we gonna do now? The girls are in detention, hate each other, and we’re the only ones who know the truth.” “Especially when you guys can’t even trust each other.” Caitlyn then heard Zach cough in annoyance, knowing she’s one to talk. “Which I’m an expert on that.” “And you can't get along with each other when you need to the most!” Bonbon scolded. Leo, Raph, and Donnie looked back at Mikey, who turned away from them with his arms crossed, and looked down in shame. “We really screwed up, guys.” Sighed Leo. “It's no wonder he lost all trust in us.” Donnie added. “Now I feel like a major heel.” Raph huffed before kicking a nearby rock. “Well, it's like I said when he ran away, you never appreciate him.” April pointed out before she sighed in remorse. “And apparently the rest of us don't either.” “If father were still here, he'd be very disappointed in all of us.” Karai clenched her fist. Leo then stepped forward to his brother. “Mikey..., I'm sorry. For everything.” “I'm sorry too, Mikey.” Donnie added. Raph breathed slowly. “And I'm sorry. We can't blame you for losing trust in us.” Mikey didn't reply, or turn around, and his brothers knew it was gonna take a lot more than just sorry this time. Fortunately, Leo had an idea and whispered it to the others. Then he turned back to Mikey. “Mikey, I Pinkie Promise to listen to you from now on.” “I too Pinkie Promise.” Donnie joined in. “And I Pinkie Promise.” Raph grinned. “We all do.” April added as Casey nodded in agreement and Karai and Shini smiled. Mikey turned around as they all preformed the Pinkie Promise. “Cross our hearts hope to fly stick a cupcake in our eye.” Mikey smiled. “Thanks guys. And I'm sorry for not telling you all sooner. I Pinkie Promise never to keep things like this to myself again.” He acted out the Pinkie Promise himself. And with that, all four turtle bros did a high five. Maud then leaned over. “I'm glad that's all settled, but there's still the issue of getting the Rainbooms out of detention as well as restoring their broken friendship.” Leo nodded. “And exposing those evil clones.” “I'm calling them the Meanbooms.” Mikey stated. Normally, Leo would deadpanned when Mikey did that. But this time, he smiled at his brother “Okay, exposing the Meanbooms.” “Yeah, only we have no proof.” Keno remembered. “We did get proof, but it got deleted.” Lancer recalled. “Not to mention we still don't know who created the Meanbooms and why?” Donnie pondered. Wallflower raised her hand. “Well, speaking from experience, maybe it's someone who wanted revenge on the Rainbooms like me and Juniper once did.” “Of course! But the only question is, who would hate the Rainbooms enough to want to drive them apart.” Trixie agreed. “Well, we have faced a lot of creeps here, it could be any of them.” Raph admitted. As everyone thought at the situation, Bright Eyes thought about that until some scenes flashed through her mind. She remembered seeing Sapphire when she and Mikey met her in the halls. Then she recalled seeing the angered look on her face after the Rainbooms exposed her at the Art show and it all became clear. “Sapphire Night. It was Sapphire Night!” Everyone looked towards Bright Eyes as Zach asked. “That girl from the Art Show?” “Call it crazy, but ever since that day I saw her, something felt off about her.” “You might be onto something. She did look pretty upset when the girls exposed her at the Art Show.” Blade recalled. “If that doesn't have suspicious on her, I don't know what does.” Zach grinned. “But we still can't prove it.” April reminded. Suddenly, Apple Bloom snapped her fingers. “Wait a minute, maybe we can!” “What do you mean by that?” Angel asked. “We know how to get proof; we saw it in a movie once.” Sweetie Belle added. “We can get the Meanbooms to expose themselves!” Scootaloo confirmed. “But what about the Rainbooms?” Derpy asked. “Yeah, they all hate each other now!” Bulk pouted. “I'll help the Rainbooms.” Bright Eyes stood forward. “You, Bright Eyes?” Caitlyn asked. “I'm a student at the School of Friendship. I learned all about the friendship lessons Princess Twilight and the girls' counterparts learned. I can use that to save the Rainbooms’ friendship.” “Can't argue with that.” Lancer agreed. Leo nodded. “Okay, let's make a plan to expose the Meanbooms and save the Rainbooms friendship. But first. Mikey, you wanna say it?” Mikey grinned happily before proclaiming. “Let's go save our friends!” In the wooded area, Greedity was near her pile of stolen things, clinging to it and cackling with delight. “Mine mine mine!” She laughed, when she noticed something laying on the ground a few feet away. It was Shini's hypno ball. Greedity grinned widely and lunged for it. “All mine!” But at the last minute, the ball was yanked away, and the crazed clone face planted on the ground. “Actually, it's mine.” And there, leaning against a tree, was Shinigami. Karai then stepped out from behind another tree. “Hello, Greedity.” “You two? How did you get out?” “Us!” Greedity turned around and saw Lyra, Bonbon, and Maud surround her. The two besties each carried their ninja flutes and Maud had on a pair of brass knuckles. “I believe you have some things of ours.” Maud muttered. Greedity rushed back over to her pile and stood over it. “These things are mine! Mine! MINE!” Karai pointed her sword at the clone. “They’re not yours! And you’re gonna pay for what you did to us!” “And you're gonna pay for what you and those other clones did to the Rainbooms!” Lyra added. Greedity double took at what she heard. “How did you know about that?” “You'll find out soon enough, you crazed akuma!” Shini taunted. “Get her!” Karai ordered as the five girls charged at her. Lyra whacked her flute at Greedity, who then wrestled her for her weapon before Bonbon whacked her away, sending her flying at a boulder which cracks into a giant bust of herself. Lyra looked in awe. “I guess those tryouts for the Friendship games really paid off.” “Looks that way.” Bonbon chuckled, rubbing the back of her head. Greedity got up to see Maud gesturing to come at her. Greedity then lunged at her only for Maud to duck down and pick up a rock, causing the clone to miss her. “There you are, Boulder. I was wondering where you were all day.” Maud mumbled. Shinigami then attacked Greedity with her blades, while the clone blocked her attacks with her shields until Shini managed to get shoulder to shoulder with Greedity, like she did with April when they first fought, and pushed her away, making her fall to the ground. Greedity got up and glared at the witch girl, then Shinigami held up Sunset's geode. Greedity gasped and felt around her pockets before she lunged at her. “That's mine!” But Shinigami slipped out of the way, revealing Maud who punched the surprised Greedity right into a tree. “Good punch.” Shini complimented. Maud smiled a little. “She was getting on my nerves.” Greedity then got up and saw Karai, with her back turned, standing near her pile of loot. “Get away from my things!” She charged at Karai when the kunoichi whipped around with a hiss and transformed into her serpent form. Then Karai struck and bit Greedity all over before she whipped her off her feet and lunged at her, her jaws opened. Greedity screamed and braced herself until Karai stopped. “They’re not your things!” The snake girl hissed. Greedity saw Lyra, Bonbon, Shini, and Maud begin to surround her, so she scrambled to her feet and ran away, squealing in fright. “She is definitely Rarity's opposite.” Shini chuckled. Karai morphed back and spoke through her T-phone. “Greedity's on the move!” Meanwhile, Rainbow Ditch was lying on the soccer field purposely ricocheting soccer balls off the goal and hitting nearby cars. But she wasn’t even satisfied. “Augh! Now what? We ruined the Rainbooms’ lives. So now what can I do?” she griped. “How about payback?” Rainbow Ditch looked up to see Donnie, April, Micro Chips, and Sandalwood facing her as Micro Chip and Sandalwood had their scythe staff and Hamato Shield. “So you finally got out of that shed huh?” “Courtesy of us!” Micro Chip boasted. “Oh please I can beat you guys ten times-“ Before Rainbow Ditch could finish boasting, she was suddenly whacked by April causing her to get up. “You have no say in this so shut up and fight!” “Or else what, Aeon puppet?” Rainbow Ditch insulted. “Oh no she didn’t.” Donnie gulped as he backed up a bit followed by Micro Chip and Sandalwood. April sneered before tackling Rainbow Ditch and the two wrestled. “Whoa! Must’ve hit a nerve.” Sandalwood blinked. “You have no idea.” Donnie whispered before crying. “C'mon! She needs help!” At that moment, Rainbow Ditch activated her speed a zipped away from April. Then before the red head had time to react, the evil clone struck her all over with her speed and upper cut her off her feet. “Wuss!” She scoffed before she was whacked by Donnie. But before he could whack her again, she dodged, and speed punched him before spin-kicking him to the ground. “Come on, dude!” Sandalwood told Micro Chip and they charged at her. “Really?” Rainbow Ditch deadpanned before she sped past them, knocking them down. “You guys can't beat me, I'm too fast!” Suddenly she was lifted off the ground. “Hey, what the?” It turned out April had her in her telekinesis. “Not if you're in in mid-air!” Then April tossed Rainbow Ditch up and as she came back down, Donnie used his staff to pole bolt up then he whacked the clone down. Then Micro Chips used the stick of his scythe to whack Rainbow Ditch right into Sandalwood's shield. The clone slid off and plopped to the ground in a daze. April saw Twilight's geode sticking out of Rainbow Ditch's pocket and took it. “Oh look, Twilight's geode. Thank you, Rainbow Ditch.” She teased. Rainbow Ditch shook her head clear and saw they had surrounded her. Then without another thought, she raced off. Donnie then got out his T-phone. “Rainbow Ditch is on the move now.” Flutterbrat was stomping projects in a classroom when the doors swing open. “Hold it right there, Flutterbrat!” Trixie declared as she revealed that she was joined by Blade, Wallflower, Derpy, Lancer, and Bulk and Bulk has his fighting gloves while Derpy has her shuko spikes. Flutterbrat smirked. “Well well well if it isn’t Loudmouth Trixie!” Trixie just scoffed. “You know, I’d almost be offended if I didn’t know you aren’t Fluttershy.” “Big deal! So you all figured it out. Doesn’t matter! Those do-gooders hate each other now!” “Well, we’re going to fix that whether you like it or not!” Blade interjected. “And just what are you gonna do about it?” Flutterbrat chuckled. “Well for starters, this!” Trixie threw a smoke bomb in her face, catching her off guard. As she stood coughing, Lancer rushed forward and swept her legs, then Blade grabbed the clone and threw her across the room into the teacher's desk. “You wanna play?” Flutterbrat sneered as she took out some dissection knifes. “Let's play!” She lunged at Blade, as the ninja dodged the knife swings. “You are definitely Fluttershy's opposite!” Blade mumbled. “I'll save you, Blade!” Trixie rushed forward... and ran into Flutterbrat's fist, knocking herself out. Flutterbrat just laughed. “What a joke!” “But we're not!” Derpy rolled up and kicked Flutterbrat off her feet while Blade grabbed a yardstick. “This’ll have to do until I get my sword back.” He whispered to himself. Blade then fought Flutterbrat who fought his yardstick with a pointer. During the struggle, Blade surged a bit and sent Flutterbrat flying with a little electricity. He pondered while looking at his hands. “Hmm? Looks like I have more powers than Just through my sword.” Suddenly, Bulk grabbed Flutterbrat from behind and held her down. “Gotcha!” But then, Flutterbrat head-bashed him in the face, making him let go, then grabbed his arm and used him to knock the others back before she flipped him to the floor on his front and put her foot to his back while holding his arm. “Who's got who!” She smirked. Then she turned to the others as they got up and pointed one of the knives at Bulk. “Back off, or we'll find out what makes him tick!” “Help!” Bulk begged. Not wanting any harm to come to Bulk, Blade, Lancer, and Derpy stood down, until they noticed something and smirked. “What are you smiling about?!” Flutterbrat snapped. Blade pointed and Fluttershy turned around just as Wallflower hit her in the face with a book, knocking her off Bulk. “Guess being invisible has it's perks.” Flutterbrat growled at the gardener student. “You'll be sorry you did that!” “The only sorry one will be you!” Flutterbrat was then hit with another smoke bomb and when it cleared, Trixie appeared in front of her and crane kicked her off her feet and into wall. When she hit the wall, Applejack and Rainbow's geodes fell out and Trixie picked them up. “Well well, what have we here?” “Rainbow Dash and Applejack's geodes!” Lancer gasped. Blade then pointed the yardstick at the mean clone. “So, you took them! Right before you tried to waste them and Casey and Gabby with the Turtle Taxi, is that right?” Instead of answering, Fluttershy glanced at the open door and quickly dashed out it before anyone could stop her. Blade poked his head out the doorway and spoke into his T-phone. “Flutterbrat on the move!” Bright Eyes snuck up to Principal Celestias office and was careful not to be seen by anyone. She was near the door when it opened and both principals walked out. “I don’t know, Luna. I feel like I was too hard on both Michelangelo and Bright Eyes earlier.” Principal Celestia said in regret. “I suppose you’re right, sister. You know how I get when I’m in the middle of paperwork. But that doesn’t excuse the girls’ behavior.” Luna added. As they walked away, Bright Eyes snuck into the office quietly. Luna looked back to just see the door shutting and just shrugged before walking away. With the door shut, Bright Eyes hurried to Celestia’s desk and the intercom. “Please let this work!” she whispered to herself. Meanwhile, the Rainbooms sat in detention, under Mr Cranky's supervision. All were facing away from each other, as none of them wanted to even look at each other because they were all so mad. Suddenly, Bright Eyes' voice came over the intercom. “Attention, CHS!” “Bright Eyes?” Sunset asked as all the girls and Mr Cranky looked up. “What? How'd she'd get on the intercom?” Cranky grumbled. “My name is Bright Eyes and I have a very important message for the Rainbooms! Girls, I know you're all mad at each other! I know you all saw do bad things to each other! But, is that really the case here?!” The girls all did a double take as Bright Eyes went on. “You all know each other better than anyone! You're all best friends! More than that, you're like family! So ask yourselves, would the girls that you KNOW really do all the bad things you SAW? Cause looks can be deceiving! And, CHS, would the Rainbooms who saved your lives countless times, like when Sunset mind-controlled the school, when the Dazzlings had you all under their spell, when the Triceratons tried to destroy the Earth, and when Kavaxas attacked, would they really do bad things to you all? Well I know they wouldn't! And Rainbooms, these are some friendship lessons that Princess Twilight learned and taught to me and others, that I think you should hear out. "Real friends don't care what your cover is." "Friendship is a wondrous and powerful thing." "And like the path cut through the orchard, there will always be a way through" "The best thing to do is stay true to yourself" "Everypony" or in this case, "Everyone has a special connection with their friends. Maybe even before they've met." "Friendship isn't always easy, but there's no doubt it's worth fighting for".” Hearing everything Bright Eyes said was enough for The Rainbooms to look at each other with tears and regret in their eyes. Applejack was the first to speak. “Fluttershy, I’m real sorry I blamed you for something you would never do.” Rainbow nodded. “Same. And Pinkie? I’m sorry bout everything I said to you.” “I’m sorry for my bad accusations as well.” Rarity pouted. “I’m sorry too. For everything I said.” Fluttershy trembled. “Me too too.” Pinkie trembled. Twilight turned to Sunset. “Sunset, I-“ Sunset nodded. “I know, Twilight. Me too. All of you as well.” Then the girls all stood up and embraced each other in a group hug. “Let's never let anything come between us again!” Sunset promised. “Here here!” They all agreed. “But, then who did do all those bad things?” Fluttershy asked. “That's a good question?” Twilight pondered. Mr Cranky then cleared his throat. “Well you can figure it out while you all get back in your seats!” So the girls quickly sat back down. Liarjack was snoozing in the cafeteria when Raph flipped off her hat and she saw him, Casey, and Gabby glaring at her. “Something I can do for you fellas?” “Save it, Applejack! Or can I call you… Liarjack?” Raph accused. Liarjack blinked. “What? I tell you I’m the real Applejack!” “Sure, you are.” Gabby rolled her eyes before punching the liar on the lip. Liarjack got up as she snorted in anger. “That didn’t hurt one bit!” “Good! Cause we’re just warming up!” Casey smirked. “So y'all wanna tussle huh?” Liarjack cracked her fingers. “Alrighty then!” “Get her!” Raph cried as they charged at the clone and all began to fight. Raph swung some punches and kicks at the clone, until she grabbed both his fists. “Y'all forget I'm a copy of the strong one!” Liarjack boasted as she body-slammed Raph back and forth before throwing him at a pillar. However, Raph landed and pushed off the pillar and knocked her back with a kick. “No I didn't!” Liarjack regained her composure and faced Gabby who glared at her. “¡Los mentirosos como tú siempre pagarán el precio al final!” she stated in Spanish. “I know exactly what you mean.” Liarjack lied. “Yeah right!” Gabby rolled her eyes. Liarjack then fought her while Gabby blocked her punches then sweep kicked her. “Jones!” “Goongala!” Casey responded by hitting Liarjack with a mop. Lierjack got up and grinned, “Say, since we're in a cafeteria...” She picked up the table and held it like a bat. “Why don't you see what's cooking!” she then whacked the three, sending them crashing into the kitchen. Then she walked in only find no one there. “You guys hiding from me?” “Nope.” Before Liarjack knew it, Raph stuck a large pot over her head and Gabby hit it with a ladle, making it ring from the inside. “Agrh!” Liarjack pulled the pot off and held her head, but then Casey appeared behind her zapped her with his taser, making her drop to the ground. As the three glared down at her, Liarjack scrambled to her feet, pushed them back, and bolted out the kitchen door. Raph got out his T-phone and spoke. “Got Liarjack on the run.” Meanset was in the gym mumbling to herself. “Not much to do since my goody counterpart and her so called friends were dumb enough to fall for our deception. I think I’ll go pick some kids for lunch money.” “How about a different idea?” Meanset turned to see Keno, Zach, Angel, and Carter jump off stage with Keno with his sticks, Zach with a hockey stick, Angel with her sticks, and Carter in a fighting stance who continued. “How bout we make you pay for hurting our friends, Meanset!” Meanset just chuckled. “Well well well. You actually listened to Michelangelo for once? Well you’re all too late! The Rainbooms are no more! And the school hates them!” “Don’t be so sure of that!” Angel stated. “We can at least bring you in as proof!” Zach added. “But after you kindly tell us who’s behind it all.” Keno grinned. “Over my dead body!” Meanset snapped before smirking. “But I can fix that for you!” she rushed in to attack the four. “Get her!” Everyone scattered as Keno attacked first, swung his sticks while Meanset dodged, until she grabbed hold of his sticks then jumped up, kneeing him in the face and knocking him to the floor. Carter then fought her hand to hand and until she kicked him back. Zach tried to hit her but she grabbed the hockey stick and used it to throw him over her shoulder. “I know all of Sunset's moves!” the clone bragged, until she was knocked away by a kick from Angel. She got up and glared at girl. “You’re about to find out what happens what happens when you play with the big girls, squirt!” Angel just twirled her sticks. “Better watch out. This squirt strikes hard!” Angel and Meanset then went from exchanging punches to pulling each other’s hair. “C'mon! Angel needs us!” Zach cried as he hurried over. “Zach wait! Angel's got this!” Carter called. “He’s not thinking straight.” Keno facepalmed. Zach then swung his stick at Meanset who threw Angel and grabbed the stick again, pulling Zach towards her, and grabbed him into a headlock. “My hero.” Angel mumbled to herself. “Drop your sticks or your boyfriend's toast!” Meanset demanded. While being held, Zach noticed Fluttershy's geode in Meanset's pocket. “He's not my boyfriend, but whatever you say.” Angel threw the sticks, nailing Meanset in the face, making her let go of Zach, who quickly reached into her pocket and took Fluttershy's geode. “Hey! Give that back!” Meanset tried to grab it, but Zach threw it to Carter. “You want it, come get it, clone girl!” Carter taunted as he took off running out the doors. Meanset growled and ran after him. She followed him outside to the wooded area until he stopped on the path. “Hand over that geode or you'll be sorry!” “Not as sorry as you. Now, Buffy!” Suddenly, the Turtle Taxi burst through the bushes, driven by Buffy, and headed straight at Meanset. She gasped and braced herself until Buffy stepped on the brake and stopped the taxi inches in front of her. After noticing that, Meanset scoffed, “Some attack!” But then she got shocked by the sign and dropped to the ground. “Yes, yes it was!” Buffy grinned as she got out. “Good enough for the Purple Nightmares, good enough for you too.” Carter chuckled. Keno, Zach, and Angel soon caught up and the vigilante looked down at her. “Mess with one member of the Hamato Clan and you mess with us all!” he declared. Meanset sneered before she punched Keno in the jaw then got up and ran off. Angel winced. “Ooo, you alright, Keno?” “Yeah.” Keno nodded before he got out his phone and spoke. “Meanset's running now.” In the science room, Midnight Sparkle was working on a little experiment as she talked to herself. “When I’m done with this, I won’t be taking orders from anyone. I will do things my way and I’ll conquer this pathetic school. Now just one little drop.” She took a vial filled with a blue chemical and was just about to put a drop before a shuriken hit her experiment making it spill to the floor. “NO! Who dares?” she demanded and turned to see Leo and Flash with their swords drawn. “You!” “Hello, Midnight!” Leo glared. “I should’ve known you would have broken free from that broom closet!” “I did have help!” Leo gestured to Flash who nodded. “You may have gotten the jump on me last time, but this time I know you’re not Twilight!” “Overconfident, aren’t we?” Midnight levitated many objects in the room and sent them flying at the two. Leo and Flash scattered and dodged the objects. They even jumped on-board and rode some of the flying objects. “You know, if I'm being honest here, I thought the boss' plan to break up the Rainbooms was rather small minded. Not to say I didn't enjoy fooling those idiot girls!” “Don't talk about the Rainbooms like that!” Flash snapped before dodging a flying chair. “Well, it's true!” Midnight snapped back before she turned to Leo, “Tell me, Lame-o-Nardo, how does it feel knowing you drove your brother away with your ignorance and your very little tolerance for foolishness?” Unfazed by her words, Leo responded by kicking a floating shelf at her. Midnight halted it but left herself open for Flash to kick her back. Then the two leapt at Midnight, only to be levitated up by her magic. “Nice try-yeowch!” Midnight felt a sharp pain and looked down to see Spike had bitten her in the leg and began shaking her leg to throw him off. “Get off, you mutt!” “My Twilight would never call me a mutt!” Spike grumbled through her leg. But while she was trying to shake Spike off, she had dropped Leo and Flash, who rushed forward. Spike let go just as Flash swept Midnight's legs and Leo kicked her into a desk. Spike then saw Pinkie's geode in her pocket and quickly grabbed it in his mouth. “Looky what I found.” He gave it to Leo, who looked at it. “Pinkie's geode. What a surprise.” Then he looked down at Midnight. “I'm not gonna deny it, I felt terrible. I failed at brotherhood. Me, Raph, and Donnie. Which is why we all made up with Mikey.” “Oh joy.” Midnight deadpanned. “And this boss of yours, it wouldn't happen to be Sapphire Night by any chance?” Midnight stared in shock at Leo’s assumption before she got up and bolted out the door. “And we got Midnight!” Leo spoke in his T-Phone before he and Flash ran after her. Meanwhile, Mikey, Snips, and Snails come out into the school parking lot pushing out a tub of frosting. “Okay, boys! Set it right here!” Mikey instructed and they did. “Ow! My foot!” Snips griped before asking. “You sure this'll work, Mikey?” “You sure Meanie Pie likes frosting?” Snails added. Mikey nodded. “Absolutely! Evil or not, Pinkie always love frosting. Quick! Hide!” The three hid just as Meanie walked up to see the tub of frosting. “Looky what we have here. Some frosting someone's gonna use. Too bad! I call dibs! Let's see. What can I decorate with frosting?” she told herself. She looked around before seeing Cranky Doodle's car and smirked. Mikey, Snips, and Snails peeked out from behind another car and watched Meanie empty the whole tub of frosting on Mr Cranky's car then wrote 'Mr Cranky is a Big Dummy'. Then she laughed her head off. “Very funny, Meanie Pie!” Meanie turned around and found herself surrounded by Mikey, Snips, and Snails, who all had their weapons out, and frowned. “Oh, you're the boring turtle who tried to tattle on us.” “And you’re one of the evil clones that ruined the Rainbooms friendship!” Mikey pointed. “And our volcano project!” Snips added. “Yeah!” Snails agreed Meanie just laughed. “Yeah! That was hilarious!” “Wasn’t for us!” Snails muttered. “Well, you guys are now boring! So why don’t you just go bore someone else?” “Well, we got the perfect cure for boredom!” Mikey smirked, twirling his chucks. Meanie gave a wicked grin. “I've got something else in mind!” She threw her exploding sprinkles at the three as they shouted in surprise and ran around, dodging all the explosions. “Dance monkeys, dance!” “Hey, I'm a turtle!” Mikey proclaimed before flipping onto the roof of a car while Snips and Snails crashed into it. The Rainbooms are still sitting in detention not knowing what to do as Cranky sat at his desk when Fugitoid knocked on the door. “Mr. Doodle?” “What do you want, Rust-bucket?” Cranky grunted. Fugitoid frowned before regaining his composure. “Sir, it has come to my attention that these seven here were framed for crimes they did not commend. Therefore, they should be dismissed immediately.” “Have you checked your eye thingys lately? Did you not see the commotion these troublemakers caused? They caused a ruckus!” Cranky argued. “I have proof that it wasn’t the real girls. Caitlyn?” Caitlyn walked up with a couple photos while the CMCs poke their heads out. “Sir, thanks to those three, these are photos where just taken a few minutes ago and that show these seven were framed by some lookalikes." Cranky looked at the photos and, despite being good photos with enough evidence, still looked unconvinced. “You expect me to buy this? For all I know, you could’ve just photoshopped these pictures just to make them look innocent!” Caitlyn glared at his insult. “Photoshopped? WHY YOU OVERBITE TOUPEE LOVING…” “Caitlyn!” Fugitoid grabbed and pushed her back. “I believe that this is grownup talk. Ahem. YOU OVERBITE TOUPEE LOVING MULE!” The CMCs hid their heads as Fugitoid and Cranky argued. “This isn't going very well.” Scootaloo worried. “I told them Mr Doodle was too stubborn.” Sweetie Belle nodded. Apple Bloom however smiled. “Good thing we planned for this.” Back outside, Meanie was throwing more sprinkles at Snips and Snails, laughing as she watched them moving their feet up and down to avoid the explosions. Until Mikey got her with a surprise kick. Meanie glared at him. “You made things boring again!” “I'm about to do worse than that!” Mikey joked. Then the two rushed at each other and fought, trading blows, blocking attacks, and flipping around, looking evenly matched until they got into a grapple. After watching the two fight Snips turned to his buddy. “Come on, Snails, let's go help Mikey!” “Yeah!” Snails agreed and they charged, shouting. “Booyakasha!” Unfortunately, neither noticed some of the frosting on the ground until they slipped on it and slid forward. Meanie Pie and Mikey paused their struggle and looked... Back inside, Fugitoid and Mr Cranky were still arguing when the CMC broke them up. “Hold it!” Scootaloo cried. “We have more proof!” Sweetie Belle stated. “Just look outside!” Applebloom pointed. “Now how could looking outside prove that-“ Mr. Cranky looked outside just as Mikey, Meanie, Snips, and Snails face-planted against the window, making him jump. “What in blazes?!” The Rainbooms gasped when they saw Meanie Pie, especially Pinkie. “That's me! But I'm right here? I'M SO CONFUSED?!” “That makes two of us!” Rainbow raised her brow. “So it was THAT Pinkie who did those stunts on us!” Applejack figured. “Then someone must’ve made duplicates of all of us!” Sunset added. “Evil clones at that!” Twilight gasped. “Way to go, Snips and Snails!” Mikey grinned. “Don't mention it.” Snails groaned, giving a thumbs up. “And look what I found.” Snips held up Rarity's geode. “My geode!” Rarity gasped. “Uh, oh...” Meanie gulped before jumping over Mikey and running away. Back at the detention room, Cranky is jaw dropped at what he just saw as Fugitoid looked at him slyly. “Do you need any more proof or can I rest my case?” Cranky gave in. “Alright! Alright! I’ve seen enough! You seven are free to go!” “Yay! We’re out of detention!” Pinkie briefly chilled. “Now go stop that whatever that was!” Cranky ordered. “C’mon! Maybe we can help Mikey!” Sunset stated. The Rainbooms, along with Fugitoid, Caitlyn, and the CMCs hurried out of the room while Cranky pulled out his phone. “Hello, Matilda? Is that vacation you suggested still open?” As the Rainbooms ran down the halls, the CMC waved each student they passed to follow them which they did. Sapphire sat outside by the statue, drawing something in a sketchbook, when the Meanbooms showed up. “Uh, why are you all back so soon?” “We've got a problem!” Meanset reported. “And it's definitely not because those Turtles found us out or anythin'.” Liarjack lied. “Now we all know that's a lie!” They heard Raph said as he along with the other Turtles and their allies arrived. “Hello, Sapphire.” Blade glared. “You guys?!” Sapphire gasped. Meanie Pie popped up next to Sapphire. “And not just them...” Before she could finish, the Rainbooms, Fugitoid, Caitlyn, and the CMC arrived at the scene. Rainbooms were surprised. “Sapphire Night?!” Sapphire Night glared at the Meanbooms. “You idiots led them right to me!” “That's right.” Bright Eyes joined the group just as the students came out along with Celestia and Luna and saw the Meanbooms and the Rainbooms. Everyone was shocked and confused as Sapphire smirked. “So, you guys figured me out?” “Actually, Bright Eyes figured you out.” Leo pointed as they let Bright Eyes walk up. “You?!” Sapphire growled, remembering the girl who hit her in the hallway. “That’s right! After your failed scheme to sabotage the artworks at the art show, You would want payback at the Rainbooms for getting you disqualified! And what better way than to sabotage their friendship?” Bright Eyes deducted. “Well, all this explains a lot!” Sunset walked up next to Bright Eyes, glaring at Sapphire. “But that doesn't explain how you created evil clones of ourselves?” “Oh, that's easy. With this!” Sapphire held up her paint brush. “You see, after you guys ratted me out at the art show, my paint brush got covered in that Equestrian Magic that's been going round. Basically, everything I draw comes to life. And I'm pretty sure you can guess what I did next...” As Sapphire explained, Greedity looked at the Rainbooms geodes and was entranced by them. “Those geodes will be mine again!” she rushed out but got tripped by Flutterbrat. “Oops! I'd say sorry, BUT I'M NOT!” Flutterbrat mocked. Greedity grabbed Flutterbrat and the two began fighting while Sapphire deadpanned. “I'll admit they're not my best work. But they got the job done.” “And it was easy! You Rainbooms are a bunch of chumps!” Meanset laughed. “Apparently you can't tell your real friends from a bunch of evil clones! Like your counterparts couldn't tell the difference. Just goes to show you're all as naive as them!” Midnight mocked. “We'll show you naive!” Rainbow Dash growled. “You and Applejack already did, Rainbow Ditz!” Flutterbrat smirked, reminding Rainbow that she easily fooled her and Applejack. “And the irony of it all is that Michelangelo was on to us from the start, but didn’t bother to say anything because he doesn’t trust any of you anymore!” Meanset laughed evilly. The Rainbooms were shocked to hear that and turned to the said turtle as Pinkie walked up to him. “Mikey? Is this true?” Mikey nodded sadly. “It was mostly my brothers I didn’t trust, but I didn't tell you girls cause I couldn't be sure who was who." "That... makes sense," Twilight reluctantly admitted. “He then tried to do it on his own by getting photos of them to prove they weren’t the Rainbooms.” Lancer continued. “But one of them was onto us and deleted the photos before we could show Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna.” Bright Eyes added. Hearing that, VP Luna lowered her head in remorse and Celestia patted her shoulder understanding. Then they heard Meanset mockingly laugh. “Now who would be cruel enough to do that? Oh! That would be me!” “Even if the plan was flawed to begin with!” Midnight sneered. Mikey then glared in determination. “Yeah, well they convinced me to tell my bros and we all came up with a new plan! Sort of." Donnie then explained, "We basically revamped Mikey's original plan but made some improvements." As he spoke a brief flashback occurred. "While each of our groups were fighting you evil clones, Fugitoid, Caitlyn, and the CMC each got pictures of all those confrontations." "But we had a feeling Mr Cranky wouldn't believe our evidence," Apple Bloom took up the story. "So we had Mikey, Snips, and Snails fight Meanie Pie right outside the detention room!" The flashback ended as Meanie gasped, "You set me up!" "YOU set ME up!" Pinkie snapped at her clone. Sweetie Belle spoke next, "Then the guys here chased each of your evil clones, knowing they'd lead them right to you, Sapphire!" "And we got the whole school to follow us out here were they would see everything!" Scootaloo finished. "We exposed you again, Sapphire!" Mikey declared. "Now had over that brush!” Leo ordered. Sapphire Night just laughed. “Oh, no, my mutant friend. I'm not done yet.” She turned to the Meanbooms and spoke in sing song. “Oh, girls! New plan... Destroy them! All of them!” She pointed to the Rainbooms and the Ninjas. The heroes gasped as Sapphire used the brush to make the Meanbooms weapons, that looked like deadlier versions of the Rainbooms' weapons. The evil clones laughed wickedly. “Big deal, we got 'em outnumbered!” Raph scoffed. “Not for long!” Sapphire took the page she had been working on out of her sketch book. “You see, I've drawn some of the villains that have attacked Canterlot lately. Here's a sketch that I just finished!” She tossed the paper into the and shot it with a beam from her brush. The paper came back down and turned into a big puddle of ink. Then four figures rose from the puddle and took shape. Soon the figures had turned into the Dark Turtles, who were now actual turtles. Dark Leo grinned evilly. “Miss us?” “Oh, snap! The return of the Dark Turtles!” Mikey gulped. “And we got a score to settle with you soft shells!” Dark Raph snarled, pounding his fists together. “They’re even uglier in our world.” Raph gagged. “I think they can hear you, Raph!” Buffy shivered behind Carter. “Creepy.” Whispered Zach. “We still got'em out numbered.” Casey grinned. “I don't think so! Recognize these guys?” Sapphire took out two more pages and used her brush to bring them to life. It was the Mystics and Stonewall Bloomer! Stonewall awoke with an evil grin. “Remember me?” “Oh no!” Wallflower facepalmed. “Nice going, Case!” Angel scolded. “You just had to open your mouth, Jones!” Keno snapped. “Draw as many as you want!” Karai declared as she and Shinigami threw Blade, Raph, and Casey their weapons back. “Because we won’t back down!” “And we believe that these are yours!” Carter added as he and the others tossed the Rainbooms back their geodes. “And we’ll be happy to even the odds!” Flash stood ready with the rest of the Wondercolts. “Yeah!” Bulk cried. Blade drew his sword and turned to Luna and Celestia. “You two may want to get your students to safety.” “Yeah, we didn’t bring your weapons this time.” Leo agreed. “We understand.” Luna nodded. “Protecting our students should always be our first priority. We wish you good luck. All of you!” Celestia finished up. Then the two hurried and got the students back in the school. “Get them!” Sapphire ordered and all her drawings attacked. “Ninjas, take'm down!” Leo called and the Turtles, Rainbooms, and Allies ran into the battle.
