All the henchmen pull out their staffs and do the same. Imp is the first to charge in. He jumps up in the air and summons his two yo yo’s, curling up in a circle position and rolls down to a group of Henchmen, knocking them down like a group of bowling pins. The Pegasus henchmen dives bomb at him, but is stop when a cord from a mic wraps around them. Sweetie belle pulls them down, making them fall flat on the ground. Scootaloo runs over them and drift, making a sharp turn which resulted into making sparks. It blinded the three earth stallions, leaving them wide open for an attack from Imp’s yo-yo. They all take a moment to rest, but sees that they are not giving up. “They don’t quit-do they!” Sweetie was out of breath at the moment. “Well let them come!” Scoots shouted. “Beside, they will pay for taking my best friend.” She charges in for the next wave but Imp pulls her back with his yo-yo. “Hey wait!” He wraps her around his yo-yo string, desperately trying to pull back. “We don’t have time to fight all of them! I know what Warp is gonna do. We can’t just be fighting all of his henchmen, that he is what he wants!” “Well then how are we gonna go and rescue our friend if they are just gonna keep throwing bad guys at us!” Sweetiebelle ask in desperation. Imp wraps Scoots and Sweetie together, with him in the middle. “Alright I’m gonna charge in through that army of his! Hope you guys don’t have weak stomachs.” “Hey!” Scootaloo shouted. “This is what I was gonna do!” “But my way is better! Now hold on!” The three jump and begins to spin at a very fast rate. Imp is able to take this well but the other two, not so much. Once they hit the ground, they reach to high speeds and begin to plow down the group of henchmen like bowling pins. _____________________ Darla and Doofus begin to bring Applebloom and Twilight to his own Science room at the top of the base. Inside it has a lot of testing tubes, computers, Radar, and so on. The two could help but be amaze by it. As well as Twilight who could believe of all the books on science related things. She could help but drop her jaw and be happy for a little while. “As you see, I have a knack for science. Every sense when I was a kid, I enjoy testing the possibilities of life. In fact my first one was trying to see if I could put a simple little creature with a pony.” He smile deeply. Applebloom couldn't help but be even more scare of him. “OK I’m just gonna say this but um….YOU'RE CRAZY!” Twilight shouted. “So you think you can mess with ponies lives with enhancements! Don’t you know the consequences when doing that to a pony!” He nodded his head side to side. “Well I don’t know. I haven’t gotten a punishment for the things I did. After all those two over there the four that I tested on.” The two are very shocked to hear this. “Believe it or not, it is true” Darla responded. “Just look at me! I’m fabulous!” “That goes for me too!” He keep changing location in fast speed. “I love this power! I wouldn't be myself without it!” He snuck behind Applebloom, causing her to jump. “Now that I said a bit of ramble that I wanted you to hear, please stand on this machine over there.” He pointed to his invention. A giant pod with a huge weird-looking thing with an antenna on top of it, comes out of the ground” “Well Shall we get-” The Alarm quickly set off, giving a blinking red light. “Well it seems that they are here, sooner than I expected.” He takes a deep breath. “Doofus! Put them in pod” “Right of way sir!” He picks them both up and throws them in, closing the door once after. “Do you want us to handle them?” Darla suggest. He nodded his head side to side. “No. In fact I want you two to get out of here.” “But sir!” Darla refuse but he put his hoof on her mouth. “Listen. This is how I wanted to end.” He smile. “Besides, You two have to meet up with the others who are waiting for you at the abandoned castle” Darla is hesitant to leave him but chooses to respect his decision. “Come on Doofus! Lets head to meet the others.” Doofus responded and quickly dash to her side. “Yes your loveliness” As the two head out, Darla stop for moment and looks at him one more time. “Don’t die on us or else I will never forgive you!” The word she wanted to say before she left. Dr. Warp heads to his machine, gawking them. “Well then. Lets get started shall we.” ________________________ The guards and workers prepare for battle. They grab their metal staff and head to their assign position. But during this, one of them heard a racket coming from his work corner. When he puts his ear on the wall, the noise gets clearer until it smash open in front of him. A pile of dust covers the damage with all the guards on the defense. It started to show three shadows of small fillies but didn't notice the Microphone and yo-yo coming out of the dust cloud, Knocking them all down. As it clears up, the three begins to attack. Imp takes on three guards at once. One attacks on the offence and strike head on. Imp blocks every attack and push himself back before the other two strike them down. He spins around, picking up at fast speed to form a tornado. It begins to pull them in, being part of the storm. Scootaloo and Sweetie belle head to take out the group that is coming from the rear. Scoots jump off her Scooter and kicks one of them in the face. Sweetie belle begins to scream as loud as she can, which the others are not happy to hear. “SWEETIE BELLE!” Unfortunately it affects Scoots as well as Imp She stop immediately. “Sorry about that!” The guard shrug it off and begin to attack again. Sweetie belle use her Microphone and grab one of the guards. She pulls him back and launch him back to the guards. Three flying up in the air like bowling pins begins knock out. Imp and Scoots take their chance and punch and kick the three guards. Once done, Scoots notice an elevator. “Hey you guys!” She grabs the other two’s attention. “Lets take the elevator...GAH!” A beam almost hit Scoots. The three took a look and notice that the guards staffs in a different position. The two begin to run for it while they dodge incoming blast attacks. Once they all got to the elevator, Imp quickly press the button before the other guard could run and enter. It begins to move, giving the three a little break. Once it stop, they are surprised to see cages of the pony citizens here. Scootaloo heads to one of the cages and tries to break the locks. “Hey don’t just stand there! Help the others.” With that command, the two begins to do just that. The two head to every cage, breaking the big locks. Soon almost everybody is free but Scootaloo and Sweetie belle notice some group is missing. They look around and notice another lab door. They press the button to open it and is happy to see the group of ponies they wanted to rescue. “Rainbow dash!” “Rarity” The two charge in and break open the lock. Once they are free, the two hug the ponies they care about the most. But they are in a bit of confuse here. “Umm who are you guys?” Rainbow dash ask. “Wait don’t you notice me dash!” Scootaloo shouted. “Ya! Its us-” But a sudden white flash appeared, blinding every pony. Once it clears ups, the rest of the main five sees that they are gone. “What just happen!” Pinkie Pie shouted! “I don’t know. But whatever it is, I be thankful for getting out of that cage.” Apple Jack sigh in relief. “Umm now that we are free, we should rescue twilight and Applebloom” As soon as Fluttershy mention Apple bloom, Aj face change to anger. “ALRIGHT LETS GO RESCUE MY LITTLE SISTER AND BEST FRIEND!” She dash to the staircase but Dash stop her in her tracks. “Wow hold on! First we need to get the citizens of ponyville out of here!” “I’m afraid she is right.” Rarity stands up to Dash's defense “Whether or not, we must trust Twilight that she be able to get out of it and as long as she is there, your sister is safe.” Apple jack couldn't help but see their points. “Lets gets these innocents out of here as fast as we can. Then we will come back and rescue them.” With that in mind, they quickly head to help out the rest of the town citizens, not knowing imp and the others hiding behind the wall. “Well that was close right guys?” The two couldn't respond, being that they are all tied up. “OOPS!” He quickly untied them, only to have very angry responses. “WHY DID YOU DO THAT!” The both shouted in anger. “I’m sorry but you can’t just tell them that you are an Armor fillie!” Imp made it clear as possible but the two are confused about it. “Well why not?” Sweetie belle ask. “Because it needs to stay that way!” His face shows how serious this is. “Its best if you don’t get into so much dilemma.” There was a moment of silence. The two couldn't think of anything to respond but they let it aside as they have one thing to focus and that rescuing their best friend. “Well shall we get going?” The three head up stairs to the next floor. Once they enter, they see that they are in some sort of lab. As they look around in amazement, they started to hear a tapping noise. They look where its coming from, only to see Applebloom and Twilight inside a glass pod. “Applebloom!” The three head to the pod but something wasn't right. She keeps making gesture, pointing at the door, waving her hooves back and forth. At this point Imp notice something is wrong. When he turns around, Its someone who he has dread to face up close and personal.
