As this was going on a vendor was passing by with his empty cart full of hay being pulled by a horse ( ironic isn’t it?) Franky took note and ran over to him.“Hey can I borrow this?” Before the vendor could respond Franky unhooked the horse from the cart and set the vendor on the horse and slapped it to send the vendor and the horse on their way down the street.“Leg Transformation: Franky Tank,” Franky shouted during the transformation, “hop in!” He commanded after hooking himself into the harness. Zoro, Luffy Sanji, Usopp, Nami, Twilight, Dusk, Rarity, Elusive, the apple twins and unkown to the 12, 3 little girls and two boys, one from earlier hopped into the back. “Does anybody know where they went? Wait why are you guys here?” Franky asked to the unexpected visitors, save for the stow aways. “We helped build the area.” Applejack gesturing to her and her brother. “We designed the technology in those houses.” Dusk said gesturing to him and his sister. “Most of our top paying clients live there.” Rarity said speaking for herself and her brother. “Oh so you guys know the place, good you’re valuable.” Franky said after listening to their explanations. “I wonder who took our ship.” Usopp wondered out loud. “There’s only one family I know that would take things that are valuable that happened to be left alone.” Elusive said. “Who?” Franky asked. “The Rich-Spoon Family, they happen to take things that people leave alone, like your ship.” About half an hour earlier … The Rich-Spoon family was enjoying their vacation in their overly sized blimp over the mountains near Ponyville. “Daddy, look something pretty down there.” Diamond Tiara said she was referring to the Sunny-Go. “Hmm oh yes sweetie I’ll have the men pick it up as soon as possible.” Filthy Rich said pulling out his phone and calling his men to pick up the ship. Since Filthy was obviously the richest person in the area he had a lot of workers on his pay role, going from guards to scientists and everything in between. “Yeah a new toy!” Diamond and her stepsister, Silver Spoon yelled out in joy. “Aw look how happy they are dear?” Platinum Spoon said seeing how the girls reacted to something new coming home to them. Half an hour later … “Come on we have to hurry before these people come back.” A worker on Filthy’s pay role said to the rest of his team of men. “How do we move this thing?” One of his teammates asked. They had been there since five minutes after the order, looking for way to move the sunny-Go. “I just don’t know.” One man said sounding like he was about to give up until he leaned on the lever next to the steering wheel. Making it move down then the back of the ship started to whir around then they shot off into the sky which happened to be in the direction of their boss’ house. Back to our infiltration team … “Hold on you know our names but we don’t know your names, but you guys know ours.” Usopp pointed out. “Oh, how rude of us I’m Rarity this is Elusive, Dusk, Twilight, Applejim, and Applejack.” Rarity called out in a left to right order. “In order to do this there are some things you need to know…” Dusk started listing all of the aspects of the heavily guarded mansion. “Ok good, now let’s set a plan.” Nami said starting to set the plan. “Phase 1: since they’re rich they’ll probably have guards on the outside Sanji and Usopp take them out and find us a way inside the mansion. Phase 2: Once we’re inside Luffy, Jim and Twilight can go in and locate the Sunny-Go through a monitor room. Phase 2: Elusive, Franky and Usopp retrieve the ship and we all regroup at the front. Oh Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji those Neo-bots will probably take form of the best fighters so don’t use your strongest moves until you have to fight them.” “You can come out now.” Luffy said. “How’d you find out?” Scootaloo, Applebloom, and Sweetie Belle asked in unison. “Oh and you can come out too.” Sanji said. “How?” Pipsqueak and Rumble asked coming out of his hiding spot near Elusive. “What are you kids doing here?” Twilight asked the five. “Well we saw you kicked the mess out of Blitz’ stomach,” Scootaloo said gesturing to Sanji. “So we figured it would be fun to follow you guys around.” Applebloom said. “After hearing the plan we can be useful.” Pipsqueak said. “How exactly can you be useful?” Nami asked not wanting the plan to fail. “Well those two girls who live there have a huge crush on the both of us.” Rumble said. “Yeah we can distract them so they won’t be in the way.” Pipsqueak gave reasoning to their assistance. “How can we get you two in?” Dusk asked. “They said that we can come over when we like.” Rumble said. “Ok, we let them go in first then we go. What about you three?” Nami said. “Well those girls bully us but they do have some weird cousins that have a crush on us.” Sweetie said. “Well who are they?” Rarity asked. “Snips likes me, Snails likes Applebloom, and Featherweight likes Scootaloo.” “Kay they can go in at the same time.” Nami said. At the Rich-Spoon Mansion … “Come on Silver when is the toy going to be here?” Snips asked impatiently. “Soon Snips sheesh.” Silver responded. “Hey what’s that?” Snails asked pointing at the sky. “I think that’s our toy.” Diamond answered. “Well it’s coming at us real fast.” “RUN!” BOOM! The Sunny-Go crashed down on the front lawn of the mansion. “Good job men take it inside.” Filthy said. “Yes the toy’s finally here!” Featherweight said in excitement. “Sir it seems that there are some vehicles inside that the kids can play with.” The team leader said. “Good” Filthy said with getting a better than he expected. Back to the infiltration team … The five kids have just entered the mansion to distract the kids that have a crush on them. “Sanji, Usopp go!” Nami said. Sanji grabbed Usopp by the nose and flew over the wall. When they got over the wall there 20 guards were waiting for them on the other side. “ 50/50 Sanji?” Usopp asked. “Yeah.” Sanji said before he jumped into a crowd of 10 guards, “Party Table: Kick Course!” he then did a hand stand, stuck his legs out, and spun taking down ten guards. “Pop Green: Bamboo Shoot!” Usopp said as he shot seeds that grew bamboos launching ten guards in the air. “Human Drake!” human shaped roots shot up and brought done the guards on top of their heads. “Okay they’re inside let’s go.” Nami said. They went inside then Twilight, Jim, and Luffy went to the first monitor room which was on the right using his devil fruit power to take down the guards, which shocked Jim and Twilight. “How in tarnation did you do that?” Jim asked. “It’s my devil fruit power.” Luffy responded. “What’s a devil fruit?” Twilight asked. “I’ll tell you later. But for now we have to find the Sunny-Go.” “There it is, it’s in the farthest corner of the mansion.” Jim said. “Franky you got that?” Luffy asked. “Yeah check to see if the mini racers are out.” Franky responded. “What?” “They’re mini versions of the Sunny racer.” “Oh it looks like the kids are riding in some of vehicle with numbers on the sides.” “What are the numbers?” “Hmm 400,000,000; 120,000,000; 77,000,000; 30,000,000; and 16,000,000 wait aren’t those our bounties.” “Yes they are it’s so we can differentiate the racers I need to call the kids.” To the kids … In Luffy’s racer Pipsqueak was driving while Diamond was holding onto his arm. Same thing was happening for Rumble and Silver in Nami’s racer. At the same time the girls were staying as far away from the boys as possible in such a size. They were imagining that were in a race. Before they left the wagon Franky had given each of them a transponder snail that fits in their ears. The transponder snail started to ring in their ears and they answered. “Kids the little vehicles you’re in need belong to us we need you to take them back to the ship it’s in the room at the end of the hallway, don’t go until we give you the okay and think of away to lose those other kids don’t bring them there.” Franky gave orders to the five little kids. “Okay.” They said in unison. “Who was that?” Snips asked Sweetie Belle, in Zoro’s car. “Just the pit crew they said we need to go the pit soon.” Sweetie responded. “Who are you talking to?” Snails asked AB in Sanji’s car. “Just the raceway control says we need to go to the pits once we get the okay.” AB responded. “Hey Scoots who was that?” Featherweight asked already given her a nickname, while driving Usopp’s car. “Nobody.” Scootaloo replied with a hint of disgust in her voice. “Who was that dear?” Silver asked while caressing Rumble’s cheek to set the mood. “Pit crew chief says we need to pull over soon.” Rumble answered. “Pipsy who were you talking to just now.” Diamond asked Pipsqueak using a nickname to call him by. “No one m’ lady. Say can we pull over for snacks?” Pipsqueak asked to start to put his plan into play. He was going to tell his friends once they pulled over. “Everybody pull over for snacks and drinks.” After that they pulled over for snacks and drinks then Pipsqueak was going to reveal his plan to his friends. “So until we get the okay we need to eat slow and once we do run to the cars and leave to the room with the ship.” Pipsqueak said finish revealing his plan. “Kay we got it but Featherweight and Snips are eating fast as a rabbit can run.” AB said with concern. “You two need to find away to get them out if start to drive early.” Pipsqueak said gesturing to Sweetie and Scootaloo. Back to the infiltration team … “Kay they got the plan,” Franky said “now we need to clear the way to get the Sunny-Go, Usopp, Elusive let’s go.” The two hopped in the cart and rode it down the hallway all the way to the left. “Jimmy let’s go.” Luffy said as they ran down the hallway to the right. “Nerdy unicorn boy you come with me.” Sanji said as they ran down the hallway second from the left. “Twinkle, come with me.” Zoro said as they ran down the third hallway from the left. “It’s Twilight!” Twilight said to correct him. “What about us?” Rarity asked. “Well they’re rich also they must have a vault full of money and you must know where it is.” Nami said. “Oh, you naughty girl it’s in the hallway to the far left.” Rarity said gesturing to the hallway Franky and the other went down. “We hook up the wagon to my mini racer and go get as much as we can get as much treasure we can get.” Nami said then they ran down the hallway Franky and the others went down. Everyone was going ham on the guards they faced just breezing right through them but Zoro, Sanji and Luffy were doing especially well.
