Jinx, Discord, and Chrysalis all sat around a large conference table looking at the world map of Equestria and beyond.
Discord pointed at Manehatten and Las Pegasus, “I also want these along with the southern hemisphere of the world.”
Jinx rubbed his chin, “Seems reasonable enough. You get those, I get the northern hemisphere and Chrysalis gets Earth as agreed.”
Chrysalis looked at Jinx, “What of Ponyville, Canterlot, and Avalon?”
Jinx leaned back, “We spilt those 50/50/50.”
Discord nodded as he turned the entire southern hemisphere pink on the map, “I can live with that.”
Zalpha entered the room immediately, “My lord.”
Jinx sighed in annoyance, “What? I’m in a meeting.”
Zalpha looked behind him then back at Jinx, “The Princesses won’t stop crying.”
Jinx sighed, “Just throw peanuts at them again.”
Zalpha shook his head, “that doesn’t work anymore.”
Jinx looked at Discord, “Could you?”
Discord stood and left the room for a minute then came back, “Lips are literally zipped.”
Jinx looked at Zalpha, “Your still here?”
Zalpha nodded, “We got reports from one of our sentinels watching Ponyville. There was a flash of light within the library.”
Jinx nodded, “So he’s back then. Thank you Zalpha that will be all.”
Chrysalis glanced at Jinx, “What’s our next move?”
Jinx smiled, “We merely wait.”

Martin sat on an armchair rubbing the back of his head after several apologies from Spike were said. Martin raised his hand and told him it was no trouble as he told the CMC to go into Twilights room with Fleur, Bon Bon, and Lyra. Martin, Lupe, The Six, and Sortitus sat in absolute silence as they began to go over various thoughts in their heads.
Martin spoke first, “I’ll say what were all thinking, we have to save them.”
Rarity looked at Martin with a blank face, “Martin, Canterlot is a fortress and we don’t even know what they’re planning.”

Jinx sat on Celestia’s throne with a bored expression and ran a hand through his hair while looking at the center of the throne room where the foal aged princesses were suspended in a hanging cage crying softly. He looked to his left then his right, he saw Chrysalis and Discord sitting on their own thrones with more amused expressions as the changelings and brainwashed guards continued to laugh and insult the child princesses. After one of the changelings threw a random carrot at the cage, Jinx stood up with a slight spring in his step as he approached the changeling.
He then grabbed the changeling and brought it eye level with him as he said in an amused voice, “you remind me of the babe.”
The changeling answered with confusion, “what babe?”
Jinx dropped him hard as he answered, “the babe with the power.”
Chrysalis looked confused as well, “What power?”
Jinx did a strange hand gesture in her direction as he responded, “Power of voodoo.”
Discord raised an eyebrow, “who do?”
Jinx pointed at him, “You do.”
The changeling he dropped before looked very confused, “do what?”
Jinx then grabbed him once more and said with a smile, “Remind me of the babe.”
He then threw the changeling into a pile of armour pieces which incited laughter from every being present except Jinx who raised his hands and began to sing,
“I saw my baby, crying hard as babe could cry
What could I do?
My baby's love had gone
And left my baby blue
Nobody knew!”
Somehow the changelings and brainwashed guards read his mind and sang the lyrics with him as a chorus, this insisted more confusion from Chrysalis and absolute amusement from Discord,
“What kind of magic spell to use?”
The thrown changeling raised a hoof, “Slime and snails.”
Jinx replied with, “Or puppy dogs' tails.”
A guard then brought his own suggestion, “Thunder or lightning.”
Jinx then pointed with both hands at the princesses as every head in the room followed his point, “Then baby said.”
The foal princesses made angry gurgling’s in his direction as he smiled and began to do a happy jig as he and the chorus started singing once more,
“Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)
Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)
Put that baby spell on me”
The princesses made more gurgles as Jinx made gestures for some of the chorus to jump when he sang the lines, to which they did,
“Jump magic, jump (jump magic, jump)
Jump magic, jump (jump magic, jump)
Put that magic jump on me
Slap that baby, make em free”
He then approached the cage and spoke with a smirk, “The funny thing about all of this is that your kingdom was ours in a mere few hours.”
Every villain then laughed with mirth as Jinx continued his song,
“I saw my baby, trying hard as babe could try
What could I do?
My baby's fun had gone
And left my baby blue
Nobody knew!”
During this whole performance, Discord decided that since Jinx was in a good mood he would join in the fun, Chrysalis also felt the contagious song and dance reach her as all three villains began to sing in unison with the chorus
“What kind of magic spell to use?
Slime and snails.
Or puppy dog's tails!
Thunder or lightning.”
All three pointed once more at the princesses, “Then baby said?”
More angry gurgles,
Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)
Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)
Put that baby spell on me
Jump magic, jump (jump magic, jump)
Jump magic, jump (jump magic, jump)
Put that magic jump on me
Slap that baby, make him free
Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)
Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)
Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)
Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)
Jump magic, jump (jump magic, jump)
Jump magic, jump (jump magic, jump)
Put that baby spell on me! (ooh)

Martin gestured through the window in Canterlot’s direction as some fireworks went off, “Does that answer your question?”
Rarity chuckled, “I suppose they are a little preoccupied.”
Martin leaned forward only to see Sortitus flinch in pain, “You alright?”
Sortitus straightened up, “Yes, I’m fine.”
Twilight looked at the aspect as he stood, “Where are you going?”
Sortitus sighed, “I…must take my leave, I am sorry. And as I said I can be no help to you against Jinx.”
Martin just smiled, “Don’t worry about it, we’ll manage.”
Sortitus was surprised at this, “You don’t mind?”
Rainbow shook her head, “Nah, you’re in an important position.”
Lupe nodded, “Just be careful, we’ve lost enough friends today.”
Sortitus stood at the door and lingered but then spoke in a quiet tone, “Despite everything I’ve done to your lives…it was for a good reason.”
The aspect of destiny turned back to them and smiled sadly as he left. Everypony was very curious of why he acted that way but soon it was forgotten when Martin began to explain his plan to them in great detail.
When Martin finished his explanation he nodded, “No more standing on the side lines and waiting for evil to make the first move.”
Rainbow Dash flexed her wings, “They took the princesses and kidnapped my boyfriend. I think it’s time we give Jinx and his cronies a working class flank kicking.”
Martin pointed at her, “Exactly, who’s with ME!?”
The rest of the six cheered louder than normal which caused all of the ponies to turn their head to look at the door. Spike stood in the door with a smirk as all of Ponyville looked into the library.
Martin stood, “I’m warning you all now, that this could get dangerous. So if anypony wants out-“
Mayor Mare shook her head, “Those fiends have been on our princess’s thrones long enough. We are behind you all the way!”
A very muscular Pegasus then yelled, “YEAH!!”
Martin smiled, “Alright then,” he then took on a serious look as he looked toward Canterlot, “Lets Rock.”
