Talking: "..."

Thinking: '...'

Applejack was busy helping the other ponies repair the hole, those mecha beasts so happily made. "Let's get 'er done everypony!" The orange mare stated when it was close to finishing.
"Nicely done darling." Rarity stated, but using her magic, she offered some snacks to the blonde mare with the brown cowpony hat.
Applejack nodded in thanks, rubbing her fore hoof against her head. "Aw shucks, ya'll are making me blush." She replied eating one of the triangle daffodil sandwich Rarity's magic was holding out.
Rarity cringed slightly at Applejack's messy eating, but took out a handkerchief and dapped the piece of sandwich off the cowpony's face. "I really wish you wouldn't be so messy darling." She stated sighing.
Applejack rolled her eyes, but watched her sibling Apple Bloom and her friends carry tools for the other ponies, they also brought in snacks like good working fillies. "They're still tryin' for their cutie marks I see." She chuckled slightly, watching the three fillies.
"Mhm, seems Sweetie Belle is having fun too, I'm so happy that in dark times I can still see my dear sister smile." Rarity stated softly, closing her sapphire colored eyes.
After awhile, the cutie mark crusaders headed outside, disobeying the older ponies order. "You sure this is ok?" Sweetie Belle asked, scared.
"Totally, we might get our cutie marks for sure this time!" Scootaloo grinned as she used her scooter to move around outside on the darken lands.
Apple Bloom gulped, since she didn't want to see Applejack mad at her. 'I sure 'ope this is worth it...'

When the three fillies reached some mountains, they rested for a bit, mainly Scootaloo since she had been driving them, hoping not to run into some mecha. "So far so good girls." The orange filly stated, drinking some juice she had brought along. Without knowing it, Red Shadow was watching them from the side lines, thinking up a nasty trick to really get the upper hand on her so called 'pests'.
"Perfect, just a little more little ones, once you reach the forest, it'll all be over." The black mare smirked flying to the area on her mecha Pinkie Pie.
"Yippee, more ponies to play with!" The pink robot cooed happily, yet stayed in stealth mode to avoid being spotted.
Sweetie Belle felt shivers down her spine. "Hey girls, can we go home, I'm starting to miss being back at the base, where it's safe." The white unicorn filly stated, with her beautiful lime green eyes looking around.
"Don't be such a scaredy pony, where's your sense of adventure?!" Scootaloo asked, being cocky. Yet she too could feel her heart racing in fear, but her pride of wanting to impress her hero Rainbow Dash didn't allow her to go back now. "Think of how proud everyone will be when we get our cutie marks!"
Apple Bloom nodded, but was with Sweetie Belle on this one. "C'mon Scoots, we outta go back." The yellow earth pony stated, with her red hair standing on end.
Scootaloo sighed, but smirked a bit. "How's this, we got to that forest for a bit, then we go back, promise." She stated hopping onto her scooter, raring to go.
Red Shadow smirked seeing the fillies come into the dark green forest, she soon jumped down with several mecha ambushing them. "Should've listen kiddo." The earth pony stated before laughing.
"Ah!" Sweetie Belle screamed, yet Scootaloo growled standing in front of her two friends, like a strong leader would do.
"Such a brave filly, yet it's meaningless!" Red Shadow roared stomping her hoof, causing the three fillies to scream, as they were hit with some kind of gizmo. "Now you're going to be my triumph card, Cutie Mark Crusaders Cerberus!" She laughed as the three fillies fused into one mecha being with three heads, large wings, and sharp claws.

Rarity and Applejack were both looking for their kid sisters, worried. "Where could that filly be?" The orange earth pony stated looking around.
"Sweetie Belle, darling, where are you?!" Rarity shouted, but soon heard a terrifying roar. "Oh dear, what was that?!"
Red Shadow smirked finding their base, thanks to the Cerberus's memories. "Oh princess, come on out now!" She called on the back of her new creation. Twilight Sparkle growled standing at the top, but her eyes widen seeing what Red Shadow was riding on.
"What have you done?!" She snapped, but couldn't stop the others from seeing it. 'Rarity, Applejack...' She thought seeing her friend's faces.
Rainbow Dash's eyes widen, but faintly could hear the little orange filly's voice. "Help... Us... Dashie..." Scootaloo called from the middle orange head before the Cerberus roared again.
"Sweetie Belle..." She choked out with tears falling down her white cheeks. "You monster!" Rarity shouted seeing the left white head of the Cerberus.
"Apple Bloom..." Applejack breathed seeing the yellow right head of the Cerberus. 'Don't worry Sugercube, I'll save ya'll... I promise.'
Lykaios walked over, causing the others to gasp. "Don't do it!" Rarity pleaded knowing what Lykaios can do. "Please, that's my one and only sister!"
Red Shadow laughed. "Well now, if it isn't the beast who destroyed many of my mecha followers." She stated but smirked. "Well Twilight, here's what I have to say. You're going to die here, so welcome to hell!" Red Shadow laughed raising her hoof, causing her army to attack.
Twilight had no choice but to send in her army, yet Applejack and Rarity were busy with the Cerberus, while Rainbow Dash and herself went after Red Shadow.
