Doctor Whooves was taking a short break from today's therapy sessions while Inertia, Solute, and Data sat and talked about their days, they waited for several minutes and Paladin, Arcana, and Robin came back after twenty five minutes,
"Are you three ready to continue?" Doctor Whooves asked,
"Yes, I'll go next." Arcana replied, and she began her tale.
Arcana was a resident of Dreaming Paradise who lived in its left side and in a tall tower just like its other unicorns, she was her generation's best magic user and helped train the other students while also acting as the personal bodyguard and last line of defense for Archmage Astral Plane, the place's unicorn ruler, he had a dark blue coat, a long white mane and tail, a long full beard, and purple eyes, he was wearing a blue wizard's hat, a long blue robe, brown knee-length gloves on his front legs, black mid-calf length boots on his hind hoofs, and a blue cape.

Arcana closed her eyes and meditated, she looked for her targets and saw Deliverer, Air Service, Speedy Delivery, Box Mover, Peregrine Falcon, Wind Gust, and Sound Barrier were moving across the world and laying low while Tofu was making red liquid in the back of his traveling restaurant and House Cleaner was in a dirty house with a tent over it and making the red liquid while the other ponies believed he was cleaning the vacant house. She kept watching and saw Brain Surgeon, Medicine Pony, Red Cross, Scientist, Experimenter, Fuel Injector, Liquid, Freezer, Bio Med, Oral Cleaner, Avian Doctor, Ornithologist, Beak Fixer, Bird Cleaner, Marine Biologist, Fire Starter, Serenity, Magic Doctor, and Witch Doctor were giving the other creatures regular medicine for the time, she then looked for Body Sculptor and saw him lifting weights in a gym. She then looked for All Seer and saw him in a mansion standing to Philanthropist's right, he cast a spell with a bright blue aura on his horn,
"Philanthropist, that same rival is trying to buy out the medicine company you're investing in to make better equipment and we buy from again." All Seer reported,
"Again? Keep an eye on him, I'll start making arrangements for his disappearance now." Philanthropist responded,
"Shall I inform Body Sculptor to take care of him?" All Seer suggested,
"No, it'll be messy if he handles this job personally, we need this job to be as clean as possible to draw away any unwanted attention." Philanthropist explained,
"Wait, Philanthropist, an outsider's watching us, Body Sculptor, Tofu, House Cleaner, our doctors, and our delivery ponies." All Seer said,
"I thought so, I'll go ahead and cast a spell to block the outsider." Philanthropist stated, and his horn had a dark blue aura around it and he got ready to cast a spell while Arcana quickly stopped watching her targets, she had a red, blue, yellow, and green aura on her horn and she teleported.
Arcana arrived in Yakyakistan and watched for Deliverer, she saw the border patrol pony was also absent, she looked into the border patrol station and saw no vials of red liquids in it, she cast a spell and looked for Deliverer, she saw him with Speedy Delivery, Peregrine Falcon, and Sound Barrier at Tofu's restaurant and guarding it while posing as customers while Brain Surgeon, Medicine Pony, Red Cross, Scientist, Experimenter, Fuel Injector, Liquid, Freezer, Bio Med, and Oral Cleaner were using their magic to make red liquid in the back of Tofu's restaurant and Tofu was helping them with the cooking process. Arcana got curious and looked for House Cleaner and eventually found him, she saw Air Service, Box Mover, and Wind Gust patrolling a house he was cleaning, she looked in and saw Avian Doctor, Ornithologist, Beak Fixer, Bird Cleaner, Marine Biologist, Fire Starter, Serenity, Magic Doctor, and Witch Doctor making the red liquid inside the dirty house while House Cleaner used a vapor machine to put vapor out through the house's chimney to make it look like he was cleaning it. Arcana watched both areas and they finished around the same time, all of them met at the same place and Body Sculptor came to collect the vials,
"Here you go, Body Sculptor, we're still having a hard time removing impurities from the finished product." Experimenter explained,
"Thank you, Philanthropist is currently spending money for the medicine company to develop better equipment, so wait a bit, let's hope the new equipment they make can remove said impurities, I'll go ahead and take these All Seer now." Body Sculptor responded,
"Judging by the fact he's not here, he must be busy right now." Tofu deduced,
"Yes, he discovered somebody watching him and Philanthropist, they're busy taking out a rival right now, too, he and All Seer are going to make him disappear, family too if he has any, and erase the memories of everybody who knows him or has met him, well, I'll be going now." Body Sculptor said, a transparent image of All Seer appeared,
"Wait, we got a problem." All Seer spoke,
"What is it?" Serenity asked,
"That same unicorn I discovered watching me and Philanthropist is watching you guys now, she knows about our operations, lay low for now, Philanthropist will have golems protecting you guys." All Seer stated,
"Alright, we'll just go on with our jobs like normal, we're ready for Philanthropist to give us more of the rage inducing drug for us to distribute to the other countries anytime." Deliverer said,
"Good, we'll let you all know when it's okay to continue, come on, Body Sculptor, Philanthropist and I need you by our side right now." All Seer replied, and his image disappeared while Body Sculptor ran away,
"Alright, time to lay low, everypony." Brain Surgeon stated, and everyone went their separate ways, Arcana stopped watching and teleported.
Arcana appeared in midair close to Yakyakistan and used telekinesis to hold herself up while also casting a spell to turn invisible, she saw Brain Surgeon's, Medicine Pony's, Red Cross', Scientist's, and Experimenter's workplaces were being guarded by earth ponies made of gray stone, each place had eight of them,
"So those are the golems." Arcana remarked, she teleported herself closer to Brain Surgeon's workplace and looked inside, she heard loud running and saw the golems running to her, the golems at Medicine Pony's, Red Cross', Scientist's, and Experimenter's workplaces also came. All forty golems jumped on Arcana and she grunted from being weighed down by their heavy bodies, she teleported away and the golems ran to where she appeared,
"What the? How can they see me?" Arcana inquired, she shot red, blue, yellow, and green beams from her horn at the golems but they extinguished themselves and became smoke upon touching the golems,
"So they're magic resistant, too." Arcana commented, she cast a spell to look at her targets and saw Philanthropist was casting a spell to let his underlings know her location, she quickly stopped casting the spell and focused. She grunted while trying to push a golem back but it was too heavy, so she teleported out of the pile and saw five beams coming to her, she teleported and saw Brain Surgeon with a light red aura on his horn, Medicine Pony with a white aura on his horn, Red Cross with a red aura on his horn, Scientist with a blue aura on his horn, and Experimenter with a dark orange aura on his horn, she got ready to cast a spell but she grunted when she got tackled and knocked down from above and behind, she looked back and saw Deliverer,
"I got her! Finish her now!" Deliverer ordered,
"Come on, all together now." Red Cross stated,
"Can't just one of us put her down?" Scientist asked,
"No, Philanthropist said since she's a unicorn, she has the potential to do the most harm to our operations when compared to her Pegasus friend and earth pony friend." Experimenter answered,
"Come on, guys, we're wasting time." Medicine Pony stated, and the five unicorns shot their beams at Arcana. Arcana cast a shield around herself and Deliverer screamed while the red, blue, yellow, and green shield burned him, shot high pressure water streams at him, rocks pelted him, and wind gusts cut him, it shot him away while the five zaps got deflected and homed on the unicorns, they had shocked expressions and quickly put up shields that extinguished the zaps,
"That's a highly advanced spell, she isn't an ordinary unicorn, come on, take her down, quickly." Brain Surgeon ordered, and they ran to her. The golems charged to Arcana and they got through her shield unharmed, she tried to buck one but she exclaimed in pain from kicking its stone skin with her hind hoofs, she teleported elsewhere and reappeared as four different Arcanas, one was red, one was blue, one was yellow, and one was green. Red Arcana threw fire out of her front hoofs while shooting it out of her mouth, nostrils, and horn, Blue Arcana shot high pressure water streams out of her front hoofs and horn, Yellow Arcana held her front legs up and made rocks appear, and Green Arcana floated in the air while holding her front legs out to the side and made a tornado appear around herself. She shot all of them forward and the unicorns teleported around and shot zaps at her, the four Arcanas teleported around while Deliverer flew down onto Yellow Arcana and tried began punching her with his front hoofs and wings, she and Red Arcana switched places and Deliverer caught on fire when he touched her. Deliverer screamed loudly while the five unicorns stopped attacking and looked on in shock, Deliverer flew away but he soon turned to ash and fell into the snow.
Brain Surgeon, Medicine Pony, Red Cross, Scientist, Experimenter and the golems went to attack the four Arcanas and they teleported around while they cast fire, water, earth, and wind magic, the five unicorns blocked them with shields while the golems were unaffected, Yellow Arcana tried to control the stone that made up the golems' bodies but could not. She formed back into Arcana and the five ponies began teleporting around and Scientist bucked her in her left blind spot, she grunted loudly and flew through the air a few inches and fell onto the ground,
"Wait, she's weak physically, come on, guys, let's kick her some more." Brain Surgeon said, and they began teleporting and kicking Arcana in her blind spots and behind, she fell onto the ground and struggled to get up after the third kick. Arcana turned herself into a pitch black shadow and their kicks went through her, she disappeared into the ground and Brain Surgeon, Medicine Pony, Red Cross, Scientist, Experimenter, and the golems got attacked by their own shadows, the five unicorns cast spells to undo it and they formed into Shadow Arcana, she changed back to normal and the five unicorns and golems ran to her, she shot a big blast out of her horn and they screamed and got disintegrated while smoke came out of the golems. Arcana panted and cast a healing spell on herself, she then held up the photos of Deliverer, Brain Surgeon, Medicine Pony, Red Cross, Scientist, and Experimenter with her telekinesis and burned them with her fire magic, she saw the golems running to her and she quickly teleported elsewhere.
Arcana appeared near the Dragon Lands and saw Speedy Delivery flying around, she meditated and looked at the country, she found Fuel Injector's, Liquid's, Freezer's, and Bio Med's workplaces, they quickly packed up their things and got ready to leave. Arcana screamed when she suddenly got electrocuted, she looked around the world and saw All Seer and Philanthropist were casting a spell on her together, she stopped watching the world and saw Speedy Delivery, Fuel Injector, Liquid, Freezer, and Bio Med arrive at her location with fifty golems, they ganged up on her and Speedy Delivery began punching and kicking her while the golems rammed her and the four unicorns tried casting spells on her, Fuel Injector had an orange aura on his horn, Liquid had a white aura on his horn, Freezer had a blue aura on his horn, and Bio Med had a pink aura on his horn.
Arcana felt her body becoming softer and turning into mush,
"We got her!" Bio Med hollered,
"Keep going just to be sure." Fuel Injector ordered, and the golems kept piling up on her, Arcana cast a spell to make her body elastic, Speedy Delivery noticed her body stretching out,
"We got a problem." Speedy Delivery said, the unicorns saw Arcana's body stretching out,
"She made her body like rubber." Liquid remarked,
"Not a problem, watch this." Freezer responded, and he used his telekinesis to pull on Arcana's eyes. Arcana screamed in pain while the unicorns pulled and stretched her eyes out with their magic and Speedy Delivery held and restrained her front legs while pressing his body down onto her hind legs, Arcana cast a spell and a big explosion appeared around her, Speedy Delivery and the golems got knocked back, she quickly shot a beam at Speedy Delivery and he screamed while his skin disappeared and he became a skeleton. The four unicorns looked on in shock and Bio Med tried to cast a healing spell on Speedy Delivery but he did not heal, Arcana controlled Speedy Delivery with necromancy and had him ram and pin down Bio Med, she then shot fire out of her horn and blew them up while Bio Med screamed and turned into ash.
Liquid cast a spell to make acid float around himself while Freezer cast a spell to make his body out of ice and Fuel Injector cast a spell to make fire and explosions appear around him. Arcana got ready while Freezer cast a spell to freeze her into a block of ice, Liquid then shot the acid at her and controlled where it flew, he burned a small hole into the ice and began to surround Arcana, she let out loud muffled grunts while the acid surrounded her. She cast a spell to send her soul out of her own body and control her shadow while Fuel Injector had his fire surround her and burn her body, she cast a spell to make her skeleton jump out of her body and break the ice. The three unicorns began casting spells to try to put Arcana's soul, shadow, and skeleton back in her body but they cast spells to deflect theirs, the unicorns began shooting more fire, acid, and ice at her while Shadow Arcana shot lava at the ice to melt it, Freezer screamed and he melted away. Shadow Arcana disappeared into the ground while Skeleton Arcana charged forward and Spirit Arcana flew around, Shadow Arcana appeared in Freezer's shadow and he got startled while trying to freeze her in ice but it did not work, Shadow Arcana cast a spell and blasted him away while he screamed and disintegrated, Spirit Arcana flew to Liquid and he shot acid at her but it went through her, she shot water into his acid and it reacted violently, it exploded and Liquid screamed while he melted completely. Skeleton Arcana went to Fuel Injector and dodged his fire blasts and explosions erupting from the ground, she jumped and knocked him down and he grunted, Skeleton Arcana then shot a big blast at his head point-blank range and he screamed and was soon completely obliterated. Shadow Arcana then blasted the ice her body was trapped in and went back into her alongside Skeleton Arcana and Spirit Arcana, she held up the photos of Speedy Delivery, Fuel Injector, Liquid, Freezer, and Bio Med with her telekinesis and burned them with her fire magic, she then teleported elsewhere.
Arcana arrived near Griffonstone and used her magic but it suddenly got blocked out, she tried again and her horn extinguished itself, bright blue lights appeared around her and All Seer made twenty golems appear around her. They ran to her and Arcana tried to teleport but a dark blue light appeared on her horn and blocked her magic out, she realized Philanthropist has cast a spell to nullify her magic. Vines with thorns grew out the ground and Arcana exclaimed in pain while they wrapped around her and cut her, Philanthropist then used his magic to make a boulder appear above her and fall, she grunted when she got smashed. Arcana pulled on the vines weakly but could not break free, she heard three ponies appear and a fourth pony land near her, wings lifted the boulder and Arcana saw Box Mover with Avian Doctor, Ornithologist, and Beak Fixer watching her from afar,
"Is she dead?" Avian Doctor asked,
"Looks like it." Box Mover replied,
"Good riddance, she already shut down our operations in two countries." Ornithologist commented,
"Good thing we got her before she could do any damage in this country." Beak Fixer responded,
"Well, come on, let's take her to the boss." Box Mover commented, a transparent image of All Seer appeared,
"That won't be necessary, Philanthropist can see her with his magic, he has ordered her disintegrated now." All Seer stated,
"Yes, All Seer." Box Mover, Avian Doctor, Ornithologist, and Beak Fixer said together, All Seer smiled and disappeared. Arcana began biting the vines while enduring the pain of the thorns stabbing into her lips and inside of her mouth, the ponies heard her and the unicorns shot blasts at her, Avian Doctor had a brown aura on his horn, Ornithologist had a white aura on his horn, and Beak Fixer had a red aura on his horn. Arcana quickly moved her front legs up and their beams hit the vines and destroyed them, she grunted while standing up and trying to get the boulder off and the golems jumped on her and weighed her down while she grunted, more golems and Box Mover jumped on the boulder to make it heavier and press her down, Avian Doctor, Ornithologist, and Beak Fixer then shot more blasts at her and she buried herself in the vines to make them shoot and destroy them. They destroyed the vines in the way and Arcana quickly moved her front hoofs to dig into the ground but Beak Fixer quickly held her with his telekinesis and restrained her, Avian Doctor and Ornithologist then shot big blasts at her. Arcana meditated and focused her mind on Philanthropist while he continued casting the spell to nullify her own, she glared and focused on Philanthropist's horn and he began to feel a presence, he got distracted and Arcana quickly cast a spell to disable his nullifying spell, he grunted when an explosion appeared on his horn and smoke came out of it.
Arcana controlled the vines around herself with her magic and wrapped them around Box Mover, Avian Doctor, Ornithologist, Beak Fixer, and the golems, the unicorns cast fire magic to burn the vines while the golems stretched their legs out and broke free, Box Mover screamed while the thorns cut him and Arcana cast a spell to make some of the vines move in the opposite direction while they wrapped around Box Mover completely, she then cast a spell to make the ground erupt and lava burst out under Box Mover, he and the vines burned to ashes. The golems tried to buck Arcana and she teleported around while Avian Doctor tried to freeze her in place, she shot powerful wind gusts out of her horn and Avian Doctor screamed while he got cut into pieces until there was not one part of him left. Ornithologist and Beak Fixer cast a spell and fused together into a two-horned unicorn, they cast spells two times stronger than normal and their zaps destroyed things easily, Arcana teleported and dodged their zaps and they then began mind controlling the birds and bugs around them. They surrounded Arcana and began biting, stinging, pecking, and kicking her, she exclaimed while putting up a shield to block them and Ornithologist and Beak Fixer teleported them into her shield, Arcana shrieked while she tried to swat the birds and bugs away. The golems tried to attack Arcana but her shield protected her, she quickly cast a spell and froze the fusion of Ornithologist and Beak Fixer in ice, she then shot a big beam at them and destroyed them, she set them on fire and the ice melted and evaporated. Arcana held up the photos of Box Mover, Avian Doctor, Ornithologist, and Beak Fixer with her telekinesis and burned them with her fire magic and then teleported elsewhere.
Arcana appeared close to the water near Mount Aris and began looking for Peregrine Falcon, Bird Cleaner, and Marine Biologist, black clouds suddenly appeared and lightning struck and destroyed the ground, Arcana cast a spell to turn the clouds white while the waters rose and tidal waves appeared, more black clouds appeared and lightning struck and electrified the waters, Arcana quickly cast a spell to undo the lightning. Twenty five golems appeared and one punched Arcana from behind, she exclaimed loudly while she flew through the air and slid on the ground, she stood up while casting a healing spell on herself and another golem jumped and body slammed her into the ground, she grunted and teleported. She cast a healing spell on herself and stood up while hearing the golems come and more thunderclouds appeared, Arcana got ready to make the clouds disappear but heard fast flying in the sky, she looked up and saw Peregrine Falcon arriving, she noticed he was a really fast flier but not as fast as Rainbow Dash. Peregrine Falcon soared through the sky and flew down, he tried to ram Arcana but she teleported to behind him and saw Bird Cleaner floating in the sky far away and Marine Biologist under the water, Bird Cleaner had a white magic aura around himself and Marine Biologist had a blue magic aura around himself.
Arcana got ready to fight Peregrine Falcon while Bird Cleaner made thunderclouds appear and Marine Biologist summoned tidal waves, Bird Cleaner shot lightning out of all of the thunderclouds and they either destroyed the ground or electrified the water and Marine Biologist made big tidal waves rise, Arcana tried to cast a spell but Peregrine Falcon quickly rammed her into the water, she screamed while getting electrocuted. Peregrine Falcon landed on the ground while Bird Cleaner and Marine Biologist appeared by him,
"You think that'll be enough to put her down?" Peregrine Falcon asked,
"It should be, water and lightning make a deadly combination." Bird Cleaner responded,
"Then again, this unicorn has magic we've never seen before, let's keep our guards up in case she has any tricks up her sleeve." Marine Biologist suggested, and they watched her carefully. Arcana teleported out of the water and into the clouds, she used her magic to control the water, winds, and lightning and all of them struck Peregrine Falcon, Bird Cleaner, and Marine Biologist, they screamed and Peregrine Falcon flew as fast as he could into the clouds. He looked for Arcana and could not find her, he did rolls and flips to dodge the lightning strikes and flew through the black clouds several times while Arcana teleported around, she made a boulder appear in front of him and he grunted when he flew into it and fell to the ground while Arcana made it fall onto him, she then shot a big beam from her horn and obliterated him and the boulder. Bird Cleaner shot fire out of his horn while Marine Biologist shot water out of his horn and into the sky, Arcana decided she did not have time to deal with them and cast a spell to make freezing rain fall, they shivered and became frozen and Arcana shot a big beam between them and shattered them. Arcana held up the photos of Peregrine Falcon, Bird Cleaner, and Marine Biologist with her telekinesis and burned them with her fire magic and then teleported elsewhere.
Arcana appeared near Kirin Grove and looked around the forest, she heard angry screaming up ahead and saw niriks running around and shooting fire everywhere while ramming and destroying homes, Arcana quickly cast a spell to put them asleep and they turned back into kirins. She flew up into the sky by casting telekinesis on herself and looked for Wind Gust, Fire Starter, and Serenity, fire and water began to get shot at her and she flew to her right to dodge them, she looked and saw Fire Starter with a red aura on his horn and Serenity with a blue aura on his horn. They shot more fire and water at her and she swayed around and dodged them easily until she heard the wind blowing behind her, she looked back and saw Wind Gust flying to her, she grunted when he tackled her down and she teleported away,
"Quick! Find her!" Fire Starter ordered, and thirty golems ran forward,
"You think we'll be able to take her down?" Serenity asked,
"I hope so, at this rate, our organization will lose its operations in every country if we don't." Wind Gust answered,
"Don't just stand there talking, come on, let's look for her together." Fire Starter said, and he and Serenity teleported while Wind Gust flew around. Arcana appeared at the closest train stop to Kirin Grove and healed herself with her magic, dark blue lights appeared in the sky and she realized Philanthropist was casting a spell, meteors appeared and fell to the ground, she used her fire and earth magic to break them apart. She heard lots of running and saw the golems coming to her while Wind Gust flew to her,
"She's over here!" Wind Gust called out, and Fire Starter and Serenity appeared. Fire Starter made the ground erupt and lava flew everywhere while Serenity shot blocks of ice forward, Arcana divided herself into Red Arcana, Blue Arcana, Yellow Arcana, and Green Arcana and teleported around. Red Arcana shot fire and lava at Serenity while Blue Arcana shot water and ice at Fire Starter and Yellow Arcana and Green Arcana tried to stop Wind Gust by making trees appear around him and blowing him back with wind magic, the golems were unaffected. Fire Starter and Serenity saw their fire, water, lava, and ice spells getting canceled out and they cast spells on themselves that changed their bodies, Fire Starter was now made out of magma with a shield of fire around himself and Serenity was now made out of ice with a shield of water around himself, they held their front legs out to the sides and explosions of fire and water appeared while molten rocks and icicles flew everywhere. Wind Gust flew down and tried to ram and tackle the four Arcanas but they teleported around and switched places with one another each time, he exhaled sharply and grunted when Yellow Arcana made a boulder fall on him, she then cast a spell to bury him in the ground, she then went to go fight Serenity while Green Arcana went to go fight Fire Starter.
Red Arcana and Yellow Arcana use fire and earth magic to block out Serenity's ice and water magic while he shot icicles at them and tried to freeze them, Red Arcana's fire melted the ice while Yellow Arcana shattered the ice with floating rocks, Red Arcana shot lava out of her horn and extinguished Serenity's water shield, Yellow Arcana then crushed him between two boulders and his ice body shattered into pieces, Red Arcana then cast fire magic to make his body melt and evaporate. Fire Starter looked on in disbelief while Blue Arcana and Green Arcana used water and wind magic to extinguish his fire shield while Green Arcana was careful not to make the fire spread. Fire Starter opened his mouth and shot fire out while using his magic to make volcanoes erupt around him, Blue Arcana extinguished the flames while Green Arcana used wind magic to blow the lava elsewhere, Fire Starter made more fire appear around himself and he ran forward. Blue Arcana shot water and ice at him while Green Arcana summoned a tornado that blew his flames and the golems away, Fire Starter screamed and fire and lava exploded out of his body, Blue Arcana cast a spell and froze him and Green Arcana's tornado tore him into pieces, his body melted into water and got absorbed into the ground. The four Arcanas reformed into one Arcana and she heard movement underground, Wind Gust came out and he flew up into the sky, he flapped his wings to make strong gusts of wind appear and Arcana shot a big blast at him and he screamed while he got obliterated. Arcana held up the photos of Wind Gust, Fire Starter, and Serenity with her telekinesis and burned them with her fire magic and then teleported elsewhere.
Arcana appeared outside the Changeling Hive's entrance and heard angry snarling inside, berserk changelings came out and attacked other changelings and destroyed property, she cast a spell to put the berserk changelings to sleep and healed the injured changelings,
"Thank you, they just went berserk all of a sudden." a female changeling said,
"Where did they come from before they lost control?" Arcana asked,
"Just past here, a unicorn doctor gave them some red liquid while saying it's medicine, he did say its formula is not perfect yet and there were risks of side effects." a male changeling responded,
"I'll go pay him a visit." Arcana stated, and she ran. She saw a wooden hut up ahead and a dark pink aura appeared around it, the hut broke into pieces and she saw Oral Cleaner surrounded by his hut's pieces with a dark pink aura on his horn. He shot the wooden pieces forward while also shooting beams from his horn, ten golems appeared around him and charged towards Arcana, she tried to hold them up with her telekinesis but her magic got canceled out, Oral Cleaner cast a spell and made a crater appear on the ground to trap Arcana and put a shield up around her, she tried to cast a spell but could not, he then teleported four golems into the shield and they began bucking her, Arcana grunted very loudly and she went down after three hits,
"Okay, we got her." Oral Cleaner said, Air Service arrived and looked inside the shield,
"She's still breathing." Air Service reported, and the golems began jumping and stomping on her, they stopped and Arcana did not breathe anymore,
"Alright, I think she's down, took us long enough to stop her, we're the only non-pony country left operating." Air Service commented,
"Well, it's done, I'm going to have to rebuild my hut, good thing Saddle Arabia didn't get targeted." Oral Cleaner replied, a transparent image of All Seer appeared,
"No, Philanthropist said obliterate her and leave no trace of her, we can't risk the changelings reporting you guys to Equestria's law, too." All Seer stated,
"Alright, I'll do it now." Oral Cleaner responded, and All Seer's transparent image disappeared. Oral Cleaner teleported to inside the shield and he got ready to obliterate her with a big beam, Arcana quickly sprung up and punched his horn with her front left hoof, he exclaimed while he staggered and his magic got messed up, the shield went down and she teleported. Arcana created doppelgangers of herself and they cast fire, water, earth, and wind magic while also summoning skeletons, shadows, and ghosts to help her. Air Service and Oral Cleaner screamed and ran away while the golems got overwhelmed, Arcana and her doppelgangers shot big blasts at them and the two ponies while Oral Cleaner cast a shield around himself and Air Service, two doppelgangers teleported to inside Oral Cleaner's shield and kicked his horn to mess up his magic and put the shields down, one doppelganger shot a big blast at him at point-blank range while the other one shot a big blast at Air Service, both of them screamed and got obliterated and the doppelgangers, skeletons, shadows, and ghosts disappeared. Arcana held up the photos of Air Service and Oral Cleaner with her telekinesis and burned them with her fire magic and then teleported elsewhere.
Arcana appeared close to Saddle Arabia and looked for Magic Doctor and Witch Doctor with her magic, she looked into the country and saw they were not in it, she grunted when she suddenly felt something ram her from behind. She stopped casting her magic and the pony held her front legs to the sides and wrapped their hind legs around her neck, she teleported out of the pony's grip and behind them, she saw it was Sound Barrier, she shot a zap at him but he quickly flew up into the sky and her jaw dropped when she saw a vapor cone appear around him and he flew at blinding speeds with a vapor trail behind him. She created doppelgangers of herself and shot beams at Sound Barrier but he flew very fast and dodged each beam very easily, Arcana and her doppelgangers got hit from behind by a green blast and a purple blast, she screamed while her doppelgangers disappeared. She looked back and saw Magic Doctor with a green aura on his horn and Witch Doctor with a purple aura on his horn,
"Come on, we have to take her out, we're the only country left with our operations still going." Magic Doctor said,
"I'm right with you, let's destroy her now." Witch Doctor replied, and they shot big blasts at her while Arcana teleported,
"Keep her distracted, I'll handle the physical attacks." Sound Barrier stated, and he flew at blinding speeds. Arcana saw Magic Doctor shoot a zap out of his horn and she ducked, it hit a tree and it turned to stone, Witch Doctor shot a zap from his horn and Arcana jumped back but Sound Barrier rammed from behind while she was in the air, she fell and the zap hit her, she screamed when she began to freeze, Magic Doctor began to turn her to stone while Witch Doctor cast electricity to paralyze her. Arcana cast a spell to make her shadow come to life and it cast spells to cancel Magic Doctor's and Witch Doctor's spells, Sound Barrier tried to ram Shadow Arcana but went through her, fifty golems appeared and they tried to attack her but went through her. Arcana released her soul and Spirit Arcana flew around and summoned a tornado. Sound Barrier flew around while Magic Doctor cast a spell to cancel it, Shadow Arcana cast a spell to make gravity stronger and Witch Doctor cast a spell to counter it, Sound Barrier flew a little slower but still had a vapor trail behind himself.
The golems tried attacking Arcana and she grunted while she flew through the air and her soul and shadow went back into her body, she cast a healing spell on herself,
"No choice, I have to use it." Arcana stated weakly, and she began casting dark magic, a purple haze engulfed her horn while her eyes glowed green with purple mist flowing from them. Black crystals appeared and the unicorns and Sound Barrier stopped and looked on in shock, dark crystals got embedded into Magic Doctor's and Witch Doctor's horns and nullified their magic, Arcana undid their spells and shot a big red, blue, yellow, and green blast out of her horn and obliterated them while they screamed. Sound Barrier looked on in shock at seeing there was not a trace of them left, he flew away and Arcana set him on fire with a spell and he screamed until he turned to ash. She held up the photos of Sound Barrier, Magic Doctor, and Witch Doctor with her telekinesis and burned them with her fire magic,
"Okay, all citizen members of the smuggling ring outside Equestria taken care of, now to look for Tofu and House Cleaner." Arcana said, and she watched the world with her magic. She looked around Equestria and found Tofu walking alone and Body Sculptor appeared,
"Tofu, all of our unicorns and Pegasi operating outside Equestria have just been taken out, this Arcana is likely going to go after Philanthropist eventually, he needs you at his mansion to guard it." Body Sculptor stated,
"What? We need to inform House Cleaner." Tofu responded,
"All Seer is telling him the same thing now, and Arcana's not the only one damaging our operations, turns out she has two friends, a Pegasus named Robin and an earth pony named Paladin, Robin has been destroying Police Sergeant's operations while Paladin has been destroying Don's operations, almost all of their underlings have been taken out, too." Body Sculptor reported,
"Shoot, I'm ready to go to the mansion now." Tofu remarked, and a dark blue aura appeared around him and Body Sculptor while Arcana realized Philanthropist has teleported them, she looked at his mansion and saw Tofu and House Cleaner entering it, she finished watching the world and teleported.
Arcana arrived at Philanthropist's two story tall mansion and saw sixty golems in his front yard and waiting for her, she teleported past them and a dark blue shield surrounded the mansion, the golems swarmed her and Arcana cast telekinesis on herself to float up, red lasers shot out of the grass while the black clouds above the mansion shot lightning strikes at her. She moved the clouds with her telekinesis while also destroying the hidden laser guns, the golems jumped and tried to grab her, she noticed they were avoiding stepping on certain parts of the ground, she shot a zap at the parts of the ground the golems avoided and they exploded, Arcana realized there were landmines in the grass and flew around. She flew up higher while the clouds shot more lightning strikes at her, she meditated and focused her mind on Philanthropist, he quickly made the clouds shoot snow, hail, and freezing rain at her, she teleported around and appeared above them, she exclaimed when red lightning strikes from high in the sky came out and almost struck her, Philanthropist teleported the golems onto her to weigh her down, Arcana grunted and began to fall while All Seer used his telekinesis to make a landmine fly to her, she shot a zap at the landmine and it exploded, she focused her magic and mind on Philanthropist and he soon grunted with smoke coming out of his horn, the shield went down and she quickly teleported into the mansion.
Arcana arrived in the mansion and saw security cameras with assault rifles under them, they spotted her and opened fire, she quickly put up a shield while she heard running from behind and the golems knocked the front door down. They went to fight her while she teleported into the room to her left, she saw five more golems in the room and they charged at her while destroying all of the furniture in the room, Arcana ran to the room in the back and came into the kitchen. All Seer used his telekinesis and began throwing the kitchen knives at Arcana, she shot zaps at them and destroyed them and All Seer then began sending the frying pans and cast irons after her, she destroyed them with her magic. She ran into the next room and arrived at a set of stairs with nails in each step, she teleported to downstairs and saw a makeshift lab for making the red liquid and noticed it was made from medicine equipment,
"So that's the trick, huh? Making a harmful drug from tools meant to make medicine and pass it off as medicine that heals others, that's a dirty trick." Arcana commented, Philanthropist used his telekinesis to break the glass vials into pieces and had them fly towards Arcana, she shot a big beam from her horn and destroyed the entire lab and the glass, she teleported back upstairs and went into the room to her left. She arrived in a hallway with the bathroom to her left, four more security cameras with assault rifles opened fire and she destroyed them with telekinesis while five more golems came out of the bathroom and went to go fight her, she ran to the doorway across the hall and came back to the front entrance, she turned to her right and ran, she turned to her right again to go upstairs but stopped when she saw Tofu was guarding it,
"I can't believe just one pony was able to take out Philanthropist's operations outside of Equestria, I won't let you stop him so he can rebuild, it took us a long time to build our operations, I'll stop you with my life." Tofu declared, and he ran to her. Arcana tried to hold him with her telekinesis but Tofu ran fast and got right in front of her, he began punching her in her temples with his front hoofs, she exclaimed loudly while the forces of his punches staggered her, he did a straight punch with his front right hoof at her horn and she exclaimed when it made her reel up on her hind legs, he then punched Arcana in her liver with his front left hoof and she screamed while falling onto the floor. Arcana winced and groaned in pain while clutching the right side of her body, Tofu ran and got on top of her and then tried to rip her horn off with his front hoofs, she quickly teleported away and began casting a healing spell while Tofu sprinted to her. She managed to heal herself and stand up and saw Tofu coming to her, he did multiple straight punches, hook punches, and jabs while Arcana panted and sweated heavily while stepping back to dodge them, he did a very fast straight punch with his front right hoof and punched Arcana in her snout, she screamed while she fell over. She put up a shield and Tofu tried punching through them, she healed herself and teleported to onto the stairs, she put her shield down and shot a big blast at Tofu, he screamed while he got obliterated, she then ran to the second floor.
Arcana arrived on the second floor and beds began flying out of the rooms to her left and right and towards her, she shot blasts at them and destroyed them, drawers and dressers flew out next alongside business suits and she shot and destroyed them while setting the suits on fire, mirrors came out next and she destroyed them with her magic blasts, twenty golems came out with ten coming out of each room. Arcana looked and saw there was a door down the hallway between the two bedrooms and she ran there, four golems and House Cleaner came out of the bathroom to her right,
"I didn't think Tofu would go down so easily, it's up to me then." House Cleaner stated, and he ran towards her. Arcana shot zaps and beams at him but House Cleaner swayed and dodged each one easily, she made doppelgangers of herself appear and shot bigger blasts at him, he ducked under a few of them and ran to Arcana's left blind spot, he punched her in the base of her neck with his front right hoof and Arcana screamed while falling over, the golems then attacked her doppelgangers and made them disappear. Arcana groaned while laying on the floor, House Cleaner then began stomping on the back of Arcana's head with his hind hoofs and smashed her face into the floor, four golems ran to her and began kicking her back while Arcana let out several grunts of pain. She teleported into the bathroom and healed herself, she used her water magic to make it shoot at high speeds out of the sink's faucet, toilet, bathtub's faucet, and shower head, the waters broke the walls and soaked House Cleaner and the golems, House Cleaner exclaimed loudly when he felt the water cutting his body and he screamed louder when Arcana used her magic to heat up the water. She then cast her fire magic and House Cleaner caught on fire, he screamed loudly and ran and rolled around while setting the mansion on fire and Philanthropist quickly put the flames out with his magic while Arcana quickly cast a spell to set House Cleaner on fire again and he got reduced to ashes quickly, Arcana held up the photos of Tofu and House Cleaner with her telekinesis and burned them with her fire magic, she healed herself and teleported to the door down the hall and tried to open it, it was locked, so she tried to teleport but a bright blue force field appeared and kept her out, she shot a blast out of her horn and blew up the door, she then ran into the next room.
Arcana ran into the next room and saw Philanthropist sitting at a desk with All Seer standing to his left and Body Sculptor and four golems in front of them,
"So not even Tofu and House Cleaner were able to take you down, it's up to me then, I'm not like those two, you will learn what it means to cross us." Body Sculptor said, and he and the golems ran forward. Arcana kept her guard up while shooting blasts at Body Sculptor and he swayed to his left at blinding speeds and dodged the blasts, Arcana's eyes widened and she shot more blasts at him but he swayed to the sides so fast, it looked like he was teleporting and dodged them, he ran forward and appeared in front of Arcana instantly and punched her in her sternum with his front right hoof, she screamed while she flew back and put a crater in the wall. Arcana fell onto the floor while groaning and wincing in pain while Body Sculptor and the golems sprinted to her and got ready to stomp and smash her head, she quickly teleported to behind him and shot a big blast at him, he jumped in the air while doing a backflip and kicked Arcana in the back of her neck with his hind right leg, she screamed while she flew forward and All Seer and Philanthropist shot big blasts at her, she put up a shield but the blasts still pushed her back and Body Sculptor then turned around and bucked her forward, she yelped since his kicks were still strong enough to get past her shield.
Arcana got shot back by All Seer and Philanthropist and Body Sculptor and the golems kicked her forward, she teleported to the right and shot a big red, blue, yellow, and green blast at Body Sculptor, he moved to his left at blinding speeds but still got caught in the blast, he grunted loudly when fire burned him, high speed water hit him, rocks pelted him, and wind gusts cut him, the golems tried to ram and tackle Arcana but she teleported to the other side of the room while also making a doppelganger in her last spot and they shot big blasts at Body Sculptor together. He ran to Arcana while enduring the pain but she teleported to the doorway while having a second doppelganger in her last spot continue shooting blasts at him, the golems from the previous rooms came in and Arcana made an explosion appear around herself to make them fly away.
Body Sculptor began stumbling and Philanthropist cast a spell to make Body Sculptor's body change to the same stone material as the golems and Arcana's magic no longer worked on him, she stopped casting her magic and looked on in shock while Body Sculptor ran to her and began punching her with his front hoofs and beat her, Arcana fell onto the floor after about twenty punches to her face, she tried casting dark magic on Body Sculptor but her horn had smoke come out of its tip while she looked in disbelief, Body Sculptor then stomped his front right hoof on Arcana's head to smash it into the floor while he, All Seer, and Philanthropist smiled. Arcana cast healing spells on herself while enduring the pain and then cast a spell on herself to make her muscles grow, Body Sculptor got ready to smash her head but she teleported to elsewhere, All Seer and Philanthropist tried to restrain her with their magic and she teleported around while creating doppelgangers. Arcana cast earth magic to make rock armor appear on herself while also making her shadow, spirit, and skeleton fuse with her body, Body Sculptor ran to her and Arcana punched him in his forehead with her front left hoof while afterimages of her shadow, spirit, and skeleton appeared behind her hoof and made her punch four times stronger while the muscle increasing spell gave her the strength of an earth pony, Body Sculptor's body began to chip and All Seer and Philanthropist had shocked expressions and quickly cast spells to heal him and summon more golems. Arcana and her doppelgangers punched and kicked them and they began chipping at first but soon began having cracks in their bodies and breaking apart, Arcana's doppelgangers threw the golems at All Seer and Philanthropist and messed them up while she punched Body Sculptor in his knees, sides of his neck, and temples, he exclaimed loudly while each punch broke his body more and more, he reeled back and Arcana punched his head into the wall with her front right hoof and then punched him in the very center of his body with her front left hoof and his entire body shattered into pieces.
All Seer and Philanthropist looked on in shock and horror at Body Sculptor's destroyed body while Arcana's doppelgangers disappeared, her body reverted back to its normal size, and she made her rock armor disappear while she walked forward to them,
"Well? Are you two going to surrender now that I took down your strongest henchman? That's usually the case when I see guys like you two, the underlings are powerhouses while the leader is weak and folds like a wet noodle, I'll go easy on you two if you two stand down." Arcana stated, All Seer ran in front of Philanthropist's desk,
"I'll keep her busy, boss, use this time to escape." All Seer ordered,
"No, she can find me anywhere in the world at anytime, she'll simply come after me next if I leave, I'm staying." Philanthropist rebuked,
"Oh, it seems Mr. Advisor can fight after all." Arcana commented,
"Watch me, boss, I'll show you my skills haven't dulled and I won't need your help taking her down." All Seer said,
"Very well, if you wish to fight her alone, I will grant your wish." Philanthropist replied, All Seer cast a spell to put a bright blue barrier between himself and Philanthropist and got ready to fight Arcana. All Seer shot a big blast forward and it divided into twelve beams while spinning clockwise and homed on Arcana, she a big blast at them but the beams went around it and continued homing on her, she teleported to her left at the last second and each beam destroyed the floor, wall, and ceiling. Arcana shot small red, blue, yellow, and green zaps at All Seer and he put up a shield that deflected the zaps back at her, she ducked and they hit the wall while the red zaps created explosions and set things on fire, the blue zaps made the wall wet and corrode, the yellow zaps changed to rocks stuck in the wall, and the green zaps changed to wind gusts that cut anything they touched. All Seer cast a spell to make vines with thorns appear to wrap around Arcana and she burned them with her fire magic, she cast telekinesis on him and All Seer teleported out of the room. Arcana looked around but All Seer was nowhere to be found, she cast a spell to watch the world and looked for him, she was suddenly hit by a big bright blue blast out of the ceiling right above her, she exclaimed and fell to her knees.
All Seer jumped out of the ceiling and landed on Arcana's back, she grunted loudly and he then shot big blasts at her head at point-blank range, she cast a spell to make an explosion happen around herself and shot him back, she then healed herself and stood back up. Arcana shot boulders at All Seer and he teleported to behind her and healed himself, he shot lightning bolts out of his horn and Arcana shot water at All Seer, he got soaked and screamed when he got electrocuted while Arcana covered him in metal and he got electrocuted more. All Seer teleported to Arcana and tried touching her shoulders to electrocute her, she made fire surround herself to make the metal red hot and All Seer screamed and teleported out, he growled while healing himself and then shot lava out of his horn at her, Arcana put up her shield to deflect it and he teleported. He appeared behind her and shot a small zap out of his horn that cut whatever it touched and Arcana teleported out of its line of fire, All Seer scowled and he teleported around and began kicking her in her blind spots, she grunted and flew through the room until All Seer got ready to buck her from behind and she quickly looked over her own left shoulder and shot a big blast at him at point-blank range, All Seer screamed while he got obliterated and the bright blue barrier went down.
Philanthropist looked on in disbelief at seeing that All Seer has lost,
"Well, considering you hid behind that barrier, I'm guessing you're scared when faced with danger, I'll spare your life if you back down." Arcana said, Philanthropist glared at her and threw his desk and chair to his left with his telekinesis,
"So you're going to stand your ground, too, meeting a criminal leader with strong henchmen who will actually fight back is pretty rare to see, fine, seems I'm going to have to fight and take out every single member of your group after all." Arcana commented, and she healed herself and got ready. Philanthropist shot many beams out of his horn at the speed of a machine gun and they set everything they touched on fire, Arcana cast a shield and deflected his zaps, Philanthropist teleported to inside her shield and on her back, he wrapped his front legs around her neck and she gagged, she teleported to another part of the room and Philanthropist teleported to in front of her and did a fast punch with his front right hoof and she grunted while she fell over. She looked up and shot blasts from her horn while swayed around and dodged them, he shot a blast from his horn and Arcana put up a shield and deflected it, he ducked and dodged it while Arcana put her shield down and kicked him in his abdomen with her hind left leg, he staggered while Arcana made a boulder appear above him, it fell and he quickly teleported. He appeared behind the boulder and cast a spell to break it into pieces, they floated around and flew to Arcana, she teleported to her right and the pieces homed on her, she broke the window behind herself and had the glass shards fly around herself, she teleported to Philanthropist and he exclaimed loudly when the shards cut him, he teleported to near the back of the room and cast a spell to make the house's frames bend and trap Arcana.
Arcana stretched her legs out and tried to break out of her wooden and metallic restraints but could not, Philanthropist cast magic chains around her and she tried to teleport but could not, she then tried to put up her shield but could not, Philanthropist shot a big dark blue blast out of his horn and Arcana screamed while her wooden and metallic restraints got destroyed, she crawled and propelled her body into the air as fast as she could while her magical restraints prevented her from casting magic. Philanthropist continued shooting the big blast out and Arcana jumped out of range, he quickly looked at her and shot the big blast at her while she jumped out of range and closer to him, she kept propelling her body into the air and got in front of him, he stomped his front left hoof onto the back of her head and she grunted while he held her down and shot the big blast at her. Arcana forced her head up and bit his hoof, he screamed while he staggered and stopped shooting a blast of his horn, she propelled her body and bit Philanthropist's horn and he screamed while her magic restraints disappeared. Arcana cast a healing spell on herself and then shot white lightning out of her horn and electrocuted Philanthropist, he screamed while he got paralyzed and then summoned lava on him, he screamed loudly he quickly cast a spell to make it disappear and teleported. Philanthropist held his horn up and electrified the entire room, Arcana put up her shield and all of the lightning strikes got deflected and towards Philanthropist, he put up a shield to block them and he growled, he cast a spell and changed himself into fog.
Philanthropist floated around and shot beams in every direction out of his fog form, Arcana tried casting a spell to change him back but he floated away before she could target him, he expanded himself to cover the entire house's interior and then changed himself to smoke. Arcana coughed while falling to her knees and Philanthropist cast a spell that turned the smoke dark blue, Arcana screamed loudly while his magic attack hit her entire body. She put up her shield and tried to deflect the dark blue lights while creating doppelgangers and looked for Philanthropist's face within the smoke, she and her doppelgangers could not find him nor his horn, they teleported out of the mansion and above it, the mansion's roof exploded while Philanthropist's dark blue smoke expanded and flew up to her and her doppelgangers. Arcana tried to cast a spell to turn him back but Philanthropist quickly cast a counter spell to cancel her out, the smoke then shot dark blue blasts into the sky and Arcana and her doppelgangers shot blasts out of their horns and entered a deadlock with Philanthropist, more blasts came out of his smoke body and shot Arcana and her doppelgangers in their abdomens, she screamed while her doppelgangers disappeared and she fell back into the mansion.
Arcana grunted when she fell onto the floor and coughed when inhaling the smoke, Philanthropist shot dark blue blasts out of various parts of himself, she cast a spell and floated in midair, six more copies of herself appeared and she changed to Red Arcana, Blue Arcana, Yellow Arcana, Green Arcana, Shadow Arcana, Spirit Arcana, and Skeleton Arcana. Philanthropist realized all of Arcana's new forms were immune to smoke inhalation and he shot big beams out that divided into twelve smaller beams and they homed on the seven Arcanas, Red Arcana cast fire and lava magic, Blue Arcana cast water and ice magic, Yellow Arcana summoned rocks, boulders, sand, gemstones, crystals, wood, metal, dirt, and vines with thorns, Green Arcana summoned wind, fog, clouds, mist, and smoke, Shadow Arcana cast dark magic and made dark crystals grow, Spirit Arcana cast light and lightning magic, and Skeleton Arcana cast necromancy to summon skeletal fauna. Philanthropist stopped attacking and moving in stunned silence while Arcana's attacks were not working on him, he tried to cast a spell to turn her back to normal but each Arcana cast a spell to repel it and the smoke moved back. Green Arcana cast a spell to control his smoke body and Philanthropist panicked while realizing she can counter his form, she gathered all of his smoke in one area while Spirit Arcana cast a spell and changed him back to normal.
Philanthropist looked on in disbelief at seeing the seven Arcanas and each of them cast their spells while he frantically teleported around and put up his shields, he summoned ten golems and Yellow Arcana cast a spell to make the floor launch them out of the mansion through the destroyed ceiling. He tried shooting zaps and beams at them but only Yellow Arcana and Skeleton Arcana were affected, they put up shields while the other five Arcanas teleported around the room and shot blasts at Philanthropist and he fell over from each zap. Philanthropist stood up while shaking his head and exhaling very sharply, he shot big blasts everywhere while growling and the seven Arcanas were nowhere to be found, all seven of them appeared behind him and shot him in the back of his head together and he grunted loudly while falling over. Philanthropist stood up while growling angrily, he turned around and floated in the air and shot a big dark blue blast out of his horn, Red Arcana shot a red blast out of her horn, Blue Arcana shot a blue blast out of her horn, Yellow Arcana shot a yellow blast out of her horn, Green Arcana shot a green blast out of her horn, Shadow Arcana shot a black blast out of her horn, Spirit Arcana shot a light blue blast out of her horn, and Skeleton Arcana shot a white blast out of her horn, they entered a deadlock with Philanthropist, they remained at a stalemate for several seconds and transparent images of Arcana appeared on her seven forms and their blasts became four times bigger, Philanthropist's blast got pushed back while all seven Arcanas combined together and she appeared in her regular form with her blast growing seven times bigger, Philanthropist was on the verge of getting struck while struggling to hold back Arcana's blast, Arcana's eyes glowed green with purple mist coming out of them and a purple haze on her horn, dark crystals grew on Philanthropist's horn and sealed his magic, he got hit by Arcana's blast and he screamed very loudly while getting obliterated, not a trace of him was left while the back of the room got blown out completely.
Arcana stopped casting her magic with smoke coming out of her horn's tip, she smiled while she looked out the blown out wall and saw Tofu's restaurant and House Cleaner's tent outside, she shot a blast at them and destroyed them, she then teleported outside and shot a big blast at Philanthropist's mansion and destroyed it, she then held up the photos of Body Sculptor, All Seer, and Philanthropist with her telekinesis and burned them with her fire magic, Arcana smiled while realizing all of her targets have been taken out and teleported. Arcana arrived back in Dreaming Paradise and the unicorns clapped and cheered when she arrived,
"Excellent work, Arcana, you have done Equestria a great service, best you lay low for now, Philanthropist, All Seer, and Body Sculptor were adored by the public for their money donations in developing medicines while Tofu, House Cleaner, the delivery Pegasi, and the unicorn doctors were average citizens with no criminal records, you and Robin should lay low here until the heat dies down, Paladin will be fine since the group she took out were known criminals." Archmage Astral Plane explained,
"How long?" Arcana asked,
"Maybe a few months, Robin will have to hide longer than you." Archmage Astral Plane replied,
"Alright, to you young unicorns, give me some time to rest, I'll help you all train when I recover." Arcana stated, and she went to her tower.
Arcana was standing across from Doctor Whooves with Paladin and Robin to her left,
"Wow, you only mentioned the parts where you fought its members and nothing else." Doctor Whooves commented,
"Well, that's really how it happened, I didn't walk around and ask questions like how Paladin did." Arcana responded,
"Just out of curiosity, Arcana, have you or the other unicorns of Dreaming Paradise ever been to Nature Valley?" Doctor Whooves asked,
"Yes, we have a close connection to Mother Nature and her home, we are acquainted with Spirit and the residents of the Void as well." Arcana replied,
"I see, we'll take a break here. Robin, you go next when we resume." Doctor Whooves spoke, Robin nodded and she left his office with Paladin and Arcana.
