//------------------------------// // Chapter 2: The Land of Dirt // Story: Enough of the Drama Queen // by JusSonic //------------------------------// Chapter 2: The Land of Dirt It took a while for everyone to get ready, but Rainbow, her RDTAU golf team, Rarity, as well as Twilight, Fluttershy, Ben and those going with them are set to the head out to the Land of Dirt with various accomplishments; 1, to help Rarity deal with her drama queen nature; 2, to look for the missing Button Mash; And 3, to convince Smartscar not to turn Ponyville into a base. According to Pipsqueak, the Land of Dirt isn't too far off so the gang can walk. As they do so, Twilight notices Rainbow humming as she's cleaning up her golf club. "Rainbow, we aren't beating folks with a nine-iron or playing real golf." Twilight said to Rainbow with an annoyed sigh. "There's no point in bringing that along." "Come on, Twilight! Why not? It would be awesome to bring these babies along!" Rainbow insists to Twilight eagerly. "We're trying to prove to Smartscar that Ponyville should be turned into a base, not encouraging him to do so. Your weapon of choice is going to make him consider his options big time." "Relax, I know what I'm doing, so does my golf team. We're only doing this to locate poor Button Mash." Nyx and her friends walk alongside each other, looking excited and hopeful. It's been weeks since their friend Button Mash has disappeared and now, they will finally be able to find him. The foals don't know what to expect in the Land of Dirt but as long as they got their friends and each other, the CMC will be able to get through any obstacles. "Land of Dirt, up ahead," Big Macintosh announces to the others, pulling a cart full of supplies for the trip. It probably won't be long but one may never know. "Oh good," Ben said with a grin. "Now according to research, only animals live here so as long as we don't provoke them. This search for little Button will be as smooth as silk." "What's with the factory at Land of Dirt?" Rainbow asks suddenly and a bit confused. Even the Equestrian Ponies are startled to see a factory nearby. That shouldn't be here. "Wait, why is there is a factory in a place with animals?" Fluttershy ask puzzled. "Oh dear; that place appears to be dirty...as well as possible dangers in that place waiting to happen!" Rarity whines a bit, much to her friends' concern. "Rarity....shut up, please." Rainbow groans, putting a hoof to her face in annoyance. "Hey, what gives?" Dinky ask puzzled. "I thought this was an animal zone." Rushstrike chose this time so to speak up to explain. "From what you see, this place belonged to Lord Smartscar's Factory called Smart Brain." Twilight gasped, "Smart Brain?! Oh my gosh; Of course; how could I forget that?!" "English, Twilight." Ben said, pondering what his love is referring to. "Smart Brain is the business company for weaponry and economic factory working, mines, education school, military training, science for biology, chemistry and technology, and a 'real' university, Rainbow Dash." "Oh, that makes sense." Nyx said with a nod. "But does it harms the animals?" "Relax, the factory respect the animals' rights and privacy so we don't bother them with pollution, guns or anything else, nothing bad shall happen." Rushstrike assures Nyx with a smile, assuring her that the factory is non-threatening to the animals living here. "Oh, that's a relief." Fluttershy said with a happy giggle. "And this place is a real university too." Big Macintosh remarks with a nod. "Eeyup!" "What?! How come I didn't hear of it," Rainbow demanded in annoyance to Smartscar. Smartscar rolled his eyes of annoyance, commenting, "No wonder your college is fake." "It's real!" "Then, the license; because I had almost all of them as CEO, Headmaster, Manager and Chief Commander," Smartscar suggest. Rainbow looked confused, not sure what this pony is telling her at first, "The license to prove yourself headmaster, teachers, coach and dean." "Okay... I didn't know that a dean actually needs a license." Rainbow said awkwardly. Smartscar glared at her. "Okay; Fine. Twilight's right! I didn't get it. Okay." Smartscar smirked as he gloats, " It looks like I finally make the fox tell the truth. Perfect." Rainbow groaned, "I hate that guy." Twilight sighed, "Smartscar is truly intelligent and cunning in his strategies. Don't you love it?" At least Smartscar was able to call Rainbow out on her fake college. "Don't forget the smile of his. He's amazing..." Rarity said with a lovingly sigh, much to Spike's worry. This could end up bad. Smartscar turned to a dark tan brown Pegasus with a dark brown mane in ponytail and long tail nearby, he wore cyan Roman armor and his Cutie Mark is a Drilling Lance and Map. He approached Smartscar and bowed before him. "Drillmap, report." Smartscar orders Drillmap sternly. "Mines, military training, weapons and supplies manufactured and education had went well as you had said. I had made the factory in high protection against any intruders and create the perfect spell to counteract every spell the enemies provided." Drillmap explains to Smartscar, much to his satisfaction. At least it's a relief, knowing that his factory is safe from any harm. "Hoo doggy, looks like yew got everything at hoof here." Applejack said impressed. "Right, Ah would like 'ta see something like 'dis in Ponyville." Apple Bloom said in agreement and excitement. "Arthur, your brother runs some sort of tight ship around here, minus the ship part." Pinkie giggles to Arthur in amazement. Arthur chuckled, "You've gotta love my brother's work. He's the best." "And there is more... We have some reports and rumors that our workers had spotted a colt walking relentlessly across this land." Drillmap adds, much to the surprise and hope of some of the ponies. That must be Button Mash! "Button Mash," Sweetie exclaims with a squee. "They must've found him!" "But why haven't he come home yet?" Pipsqueak asks in concern to his friends. "My guess; He either got lost or got captured." Phobos said, worrying his pals. "Of course, that's just me." Smartscar smiled as he declares, "Then, we make our move. Your friend Button will be rescued. And this will be your chance to impress me, Princess." Twilight bowed, saying gently, "Yes, my lord." "And...I will impress with you of my beauty and charm. Then, we both can have a date." Rarity said lovingly. Needless to say, as usual, her friends just roll their eyes, unimpressed. Smartscar rolled his eyes, also unimpressed. He remarks dryly, "I would like to see you try, Rarity." He then heads off. It's obviously to everypony else that the Councilpony isn't interested in her...though not everypony thinks that. Rarity screamed happily, "I don't believe it. He was impressed! THIS - IS - BEST - THING - EVER - HAPPEN!" Everyone looked at her. "What?" Applejack groaned in annoyance, "Just great. Upset, she got dramatic. Happy, she got dramatic. She really need 'ta stop being a Drama Queen." Terrorcreep sighed in agreement, "At least, Arthur is not Dramatic King as Rarity." Jenny nodded her head as she remarks to the Vampire Pony, "Agreed. " Arthur groaned softly, "Not funny, guys." He isn't that dramatic like Rarity...is he? "It's still true, father." Jan giggles to her father, making Arthur groans a bit some more. Why must everypony get on his case about this? Smartscar turned to Drillmap as he makes the next plan of order, "Give me 20 Mystic Soldiers. We do not know of whether we had enemies to deal with." Drillmap nodded his head as he said, "Understand, my lord." ------------------------------- Pinkamena is reading and was done telling Autumn about things and she says surprised, "My you been though a lot have you?" Pinkamena giggles, "Yeah but I am ok now thanks to all my friends." "But I am still surprised about what you made and such you are not much like Pinkie Pie." "I may have some of her traits but I work on making things when I can to be ready for epic battles and to help my friends; right now I am planning to create a brand new weapon but it may take lots of time and such to make it." Autumn Gem smile, impressed. She spoke, "I see, well I am happy you have many who care for you." She goes back to Sombra as Pinkamena says in mind, 'I have everything I need to craft the weapon from remaining bits of the Elements of Harmony and the Rainbow of Light and other parts but I am missing one last piece and it is within the box; this Rainbow power is the last piece I need to forge a weapon so great it can be able to overpower even the mightiest of foes and even help deal with Psycho Pie's Demon friend that is bonded to her; maybe I will aid Pinkie Pie in her fight with her; at least it will be a fair fight.' -------------------- While the gang prepares themselves for an adventure to get Button back, they decided to hang back and do whatever they want. Jan came over, asking curiously to her new friends, the CMC, "So, about being a Cutie Mark Crusader, what does it take to become one?" "Well, yew gotta have no cutie mark...kinda like yew do." Apple Bloom explains. "Ah started out wit' none myself." "We met together at Diamond Tiara's cutie mark party and we decided to work together to find our cutie marks." Sweetie explains to Jan cutely. "What about Nyx? She got a cutie mark and so does Twist." Jan said, noting how Nyx and Twist got cutie marks." "Oh, well, I was and still am a Cutie Mark Crusader when I first met my friends. Even after I got my cutie mark, we changed the rules so that those with cutie marks can help those who don't." Nyx explains with a giggle. "I've made Twist a honorary one." "Right, no sense in keeping out friends," Scootaloo remarked with a chuckle. "Dinky Doo joined us around the same time we met Megan. As for Pipsqueak, although we didn't have colts back then, we decided to start so with him." "Well, that's good. So we go on adventures, tasks, whatever?" Jan ask her friends curiously. "Not often together but we do our best." Pipsqueak said with a giggle. Just then Ben came in, speaking, "Okay, we're ready to go." "Right; Rarity, try your best not to be too dramatic please." Twilight said to her friend making Rarity groans a bit. This is going to be a looooooong trip. ---------------- Soon, the gang began heading out through the Land of Dirt. "We'd best tread lightly." Drillmap said in concern. "We cannot afford to upset the animals, especially their protector Wuzubu." "'Wuzubu'," Pipsqueak ask in confusion. "Yes, a legendary monster that is a combination of Bigfoot and a tree monster from Earth." Drillmap explains. "If any poaches or nasty ponies try to harm the animals. Wuzubu will appear, harming any offenders or chasing them off." "My, I sure hope Wuzubu is friendly." Fluttershy said in worry. "Relax, as long as you respect the animals' territory and not harm them, Wubuzbu will leave the visitors alone." Drillmap assures Fluttershy calmly. Rarity, of course, paid no attention to the conversion, rather to Smartscar. Now it's time for this mare to put on the charms to this handsome Councilpony. "So... Lord Smartscar." Rarity said with a sly smile. "Tell me... your highness. What do you think of my mane?" "Nice." Smartscar commented, not really paying attention to Rarity. "Nice; don't you think my mane is beauty and great?" Rarity asks as if she was slapped across the face. "It's nice." Smartscar remarked, not really wanting to speak to Rarity right now. Rarity looked annoyed before she shook her head. The mare tried again by asking on another subject, "Would you like to see my clothes? Mine are beauty and great." "It's nice." Smartscar said repeatedly. That comment is getting to Rarity's nerve. The Councilpony kept saying 'it's nice' as if as an insult! Rarity groaned angrily, "How about listening to my music? Mine has a great voice. I'm sure you know this group called 'Pony Tones', the musical ponies of Ponyville." "It's nice." Smartscar said once more. Rarity slaps a hoof to her face. Can't this pony say anything but 'it's nice' for once? "What do you think of my family, especially my Sweetie-Weetie Belle," Rarity said in a cutesy like voice. "RARITY," Sweetie exclaims, getting a bit embarrassed by this. "Hoo boy; Rarity is really throwing a lot of pitches." Rainbow comments while rolling her eyes. "An' is plum striking out," Applejack remarks, "Reminds me o' Trenderhoof all over again." "Except it's hard to get this guy's attention," Spike said in concern. "Really; I call my little brother Arthy-Boy." Smartscar remarks with a chuckle. Rarity is relieved that for once, he didn't say 'it's nice'. Arthur groaned, "SMARTSCAR!" Smartscar shrugged while adding, "But it's still nice." "Come now. There must be something you like. Like...Food? Or Drink; Spa; Dresses; Fireworks; Honeymoon; or maybe-" Rarity begins to say, doesn't this pony got anything good to say? "Enough!" Smartscar snaps sternly as he turned to Rarity. The Councilpony had decided that it's time to give this unicorn a lesson in generosity. "I think I was too kind to you. But you, my lady, took advantage of it, hoping that I would be a gentlepony forever because I'm Mystic Councilpony of Earth?! What were you thinking?! There are some who were not kind as Lord Azure and I. And trust me; we tried not to show that because we are allies, not enemies." "I- I-!" Rarity begins to trembles, apparently, she is not used to being talked to like this. Smartscar interrupted Rarity as he continues, "Look. I know you're generous. But please. Stop testing my patience." Rarity sighed, looking down, "I - I'm sorry." Perhaps she is trying too much to get this pony to like her. It's like the mare doesn't remember the event with Trenderhoof at all. Smartscar sighed in annoyance, "Let's find our friend. The more time you wasted, the more delays you'll have to find him. I certainly hope he doesn't get killed." "Button gets killed?!" Sweetie yelps in fear and worry. The filly sniffed softly before she cried and sobbed loudly. The Cutie Mark Crusaders came and patted her gently. Rarity felt worst. She has forgotten the main reason why the gang came here and her delays and foolish attempts to win Smartscar over could cost Button Mash his life! Smartscar groaned, "I say 'I certainly hope he doesn't get killed'. " "You could at least be gentle." Spike scolds Smartscar, a bit disapproved by his attitude. "It doesn't matter. We must move on." The Councilpony comments as Smartscar and Rushstrike headed straight ahead. "Cheer up, Sweetie. He's not killed. We'll find him." Apple Bloom said. "Right, though Smartscar needs to take a chill pill." Phobos remarks dryly. "Yeah, the way he spoke makes him sound so insensitive." Dinky said in agreement. Arthur sighed in frustration, "I told you my brother is hard to be pleased." "What can be done to make that happen? I can't let him make my home as base." Twilight said, trembling a bit. "I'm sure you'll figure it out." Arthur assures Twilight in determination. Jenny nodded her head as she comments, "I agreed. I'm sure that you'll impress him, just like what you did for Lord Azure." "I guess so." Twilight said with a sigh. -------------------- The Organization are once again gathering, having a conversion about the future, especially involving a certain chest. "My allies, as you know, Twilight and her friends are close to opening that chest." The Superior said to his allies calmly. "They are missing one key." "So why are we worried?" Warring Malice ask the Superior, not concerned. "If they're missing one key...." "Don't underestimate, Warring Malice. It won't be long before they find the last key. Once that chest is opened, Equestria will never be the same." The Superior said sternly. "Twilight Sparkle must not be permitted to find her last key." "I say we murder those friends of theirs and destroy those objects!" Rainbow Chaos shouted. "We won't leave them to you just yet, Rainbow Chaos." The Superior said sternly. "We cannot reveal ourselves just yet." "Sir, I believe that our Dark Mystic Pony allies are already in progress." Wilco said, putting a robotic hoof on the chin that is covered by his hood. "But perhaps my work with Dr. Lizardo will...bring results." "Yes, perhaps." Ms. Moon said with an evil smile on her face. "Bring Shadow Dragon with you, I can be convincing when it comes to my colt." "Bother. If I didn't know better, I say you were trying to make forget about dear Iris Crystal." Trix Lulamoon said to Ms. Moon making her glare at him. "I am not doing so. I am merely...trying to help." Ms. Moon explains calmly. "Superior, if I may suggest, we send in something to up the chances." Warring Malice said with a thoughtful look. "Yes, perhaps you may be onto something." The Superior said as Warring Malice got up. "I suppose you wish to challenge the ponies now?" "Yes, you got a chance to come in early, Superior, I felt it's only fair to stop sitting on my flank and do something." Warring Malice explains to the Superior calmly. "Very well, but don't reveal too much." Superior said to Warring Malice in precaution. "Let Twilight and her friends keep guessing." Warring Malice nods as she prepares to leave. Trix in concern flies on next to her, accompanying her friend as she prepares to leave. "Warring, as a favor...don't kill her." Trix whispers to Warring Malice. "I owe Twilight much after she freed me from the power of the Alicorn Amulet and..." "Relax, Trixie, I won't kill her off." Warring Malice assures Trixie with a wave of a hoof. "But I won't go easy on her either." Trix nods as her friend makes a portal appears and disappears. The former student of Celestia must involve Celestia that Warring Malice is on her way. ------------------- The gang continues on their big trip, unaware of an uninvited guest on her way. During this time, Rarity pauses, thinking of the trouble that she causes, thanks to her trying to flirt with Smartscar. It made her guilty that all this time, she has forgotten the true reasons why the gang is here: to convince the Councilpony to not use Ponyville as a base and to find Button Mash. The white unicorn felt guilty for being so selfish. "Everypony, I wish to say... I'm sorry." Rarity said to her friends. "Huh?" Most of the ponies ask a bit puzzled, not sure what Rarity meant at first. "For what," Spike ask his love interest, arching an eyebrow at this. Rarity sighs as she explains, "For getting us into a trouble. I should control my attitude a little bit, especially my... loving personality." "Shucks, it's y'all, right, Rarity." Applejack chuckled, patting Rarity on the back. "Yew couldn't help it. Yew just being yer love self which doesn't belong." "Right, we all make mistakes just like my Double Dare thing that almost got us killed and for spirits to be released by that freaky zebra Blaze." Rainbow remarks to Rarity with a smile. "Right, come on, you're my big sis, what's not to forgive?" Sweetie asks Rarity with a giggle. "It took a big pony to admit she's wrong." Ben said to Rarity with a nod. "I'm glad you learned that. I hope you don't overdo your 'dramatic' and 'loving someone'." Twilight said, satisfied that her friend is learning not to overdo her dramatic nature as well as her loving one. "To get Smartscar, you need to impress him. I don't know how, but I'm sure you'll figure it out. " Rarity smiled as she comments, "I guess you could be right. I'll try." Twilight smiled as she said, "Good. Now, let's get moving." The ponies move onward as they head to where Button Mash is seen. The CMC are excited, they can see their friend again. Suddenly Rarity is heard screaming as Pinkie yelps, "Gah! What? What's wrong, Rarity?" "My mane is a mess!" Rarity whines as she got a brush out her mane, making her friends groans a bit. The unicorn then shrieks as she rush over to hide behind Spike. The mare glances at a huge bug, "Huge bug! Keep it away from me!" "Oh bother!" Rainbow groans, rolling her eyes a bit. "She's overdoing it again." "Gah! There's too much dirt around here. Can someone get me some shampoo and soap?" "Oh for crying out loud," Phobos exclaims, slapping his face angrily. "At this rate, we will never get to Button Mash!" "Yeah, and who knows how long before he gets hurt." Pipsqueak said, worried. He hates to know what Button Mash will be going through right now. --------------- The scene opens up to where a corridor of darkness was opening, an out of it came shadow Dragon who was lead by a member of the Apocalypse Ponies; the member who is known as Wilco. As they soon entered a laboratory where a hiddenr mad doctor resides in. “Concocting another experiment, Dr. Lizardo?” Wilco spoke forth in making a villain of Equestria turn to see….who was dropping in. “Ah, Wilco, my dear apprentice. How have you been? And you brought a Dark Mystic with you for company, how nice.” Dr. Lizardo, hidden in the shadows, smiled off in seeing that they have some company, what a lovely sight. “I am only here, because Ms. Moon suggested to ask Wilco for help in tending to the Mane Six. They have left for the Land of Dirt.” Shadow Dragon explained the situation of why he is here and what is currently happening. “Oh really; and here I thought Wilco’s little organization would continue to watch while the other two Lords had their fun. Oh, how I wish the day my sweet Pinkie Pie be mine.” Dr. Lizardo shrug off to say this issue manner while making some crazy assumption that seem to leave many puzzled by such…crazy behavior. “Doctor….we have come to acquire….Talos!” Wilco spoke in interrupting the doctor’s weird moment to get up to date. “Ahhhh, my next to greatest creation! Next to….you, Wilco,” Dr. Lizardo stops to smile wickedly in seeing what this group has come to acquire. “But I need two things, a power source, AND, the blood of a strong warrior.” He was missing those two things, without them, the work of ‘Talos’ won’t be up. “Stabfruvhmmmm…./ROOUURRRRRRUGHHH!” Suddenly, something was stabbed behind Shadow Dragon that made him roar in pain. And then the Dark Mystic saw something of a wire cable with a needle connected to it, as it was actively moving from under Wilco’s cloak and presented it to Dr. Lizardo. “Will the blood of an Ultimate Dark Mystic Warrior do? Along with….a power source compensated by our dear Demon God, Grimmore.” Wilco exclaimed to say this while also bringing up to be seen…a Copy Crystal that has a copied portion of the Triforce itself inside, thanks to Grimmore’s handy work. “Yes, yes! That will be perfect!” Dr. Lizardo smiled eagerly to take both objects and scurry over to the lab table where a large white sheet was covering a body. “You dare to take my blood for this foolish experiment?” Shadow Dragon snarled off to say from feeling a bit upset by this outrageous behavior. “Trust me, besides having a paranoid affection for Pinkie Pie, he’s my mentor that took me in, made me into what I am now…” As Wilco spoke these words, his voice began to sound much more…angry than before. “All because of Twilight Sparkle….it was ‘her’ that I ended up the way I am.” He sounds like he hates Twilight Sparkle, for the reasons were all thanks to her, that he is now what he is today. “So I’ve been told.” Shadow Dragon raised a slight eyebrow in hearing this claim. Soon Dr. Lizardo had finished installing the power source into the creation’s body and the blood of Shadow Dragon was sipping into it. Then with a flip of a switch, voltage of electricity flown in the body, as magic was enshrouding the character to the point where it showed signs of twitching. Then when the frantic display of a mad scientist was over, the body under the sheet began to move. “Yes…..YESSSSSSS! IT’S ALIVE! IT’S AAAAAAALIIIIIIVE! BWHHAHAHAHAAAAAAHHHH,” Dr. Lizardo was heard yelling out this mad message while giving a maniacal laughter. “Now, there is a NEW Ultimate Dark Mystic Warrior, made by the powers of my science, the strong blood of Shadow Dragon mix from the Element of Darkness. And empowered by the Copy Crystal that holds a large portion of the Triforce inside, which you acquired Wilco. With this….I gives you….TALOS!” The scientist guy was explaining all the necessary features as he soon made the table stand upwards to present his next creation. The scene shows from the backside of Dr. Lizardo as he removed the sheet to let Wilco & Shadow Dragon stare at the beast he’s made. While we are unable to see who this…Talos was, he opened his eyes that glowed bright yellow and the scene shows his shadowy body was admitting a very large & powerful dark aura. “Hmmmm, an impressive display, but will he get the job done, should Swordstruck fail?” Shadow Dragon smiled in actually liking this little evil work, but can this created creature that is now a Dark Mystic, get the job done? “Perhaps, while he prepares the trap for the Mystics, we should send off the ‘other’ secret weapon, along with your other assistant, Winslow?” Wilco spoke in suggesting this next step of their plan to unleash a secret weapon with the assist of another assistant. “Ah, good idea,” Dr. Lizardo spoke in liking that idea, and so they shall do it, “WINNNNNNNNSLOOOOOOOW!” He was heard yelling out loud for someone to hear him and come. Soon coming into the picture was a senile old green troll with a large chrome dome brain that’s bald, four long black whiskers, & has red eyes. He was seen wearing a long white lab overcoat as he was holding a ‘?’ shape stick cane as a walking stick. When he smiled, he was shown seeing rotten gold teeth in his mouth and looks like he has an IQ of 300 just by looking at him. This was obviously Winslow as the devious little brainiac presented himself as being most high & mighty even if he looked like an average small troll, he was still a bit taller than the ponies in the room. “Winslow the Devious Troll, at your service,” Winslow spoke in presenting himself to those that are a part of this evil science group. “Prepare yourself, you’re going on a trip to the Land Of Dirt and have….Fuji, eliminate the targets and acquire the Triforce.” Dr. Lizardo pointed out the orders this troll is to do while he’s at the Land Of Dirt. “Ah-ha; It will be my pleasure.” Winslow laughs in showing a smug look now. “Fuji? Who is that?” Shadow Dragon raised an eyebrow in not recalling such a name until now. “He is our ‘biggest’ weapon to ever be stubble upon, and he serves us….out of loyalty for being his saviors. We had planned to use him in a grander stage of what the Apocalypse Ponies were plotting, but this will make due.” Wilco explained a brief statement of who Fuji is supposed to be, but the rest…is a surprise. Shadow Dragon became intrigue here as Winslow was seen leaving to make preparations of taking Fuji & Talos to the Land Of Dirt where things are about to get really, REALLY messy when they arrive. ------------------------- Within the cave a hour later, Swordstruck waited for a few hours, waiting for the report. A couple of demonic armored Mystic Soldiers appeared and bowed before him. "Well?" Swordstruck ask patiently. He wants to prepare himself to get rid of Smartscar once and for all. Rogue Mystic bows as he explains, "Smartscar has arrived. But he has been guarded very well by some of his units." "It doesn't matter. I will destroy him." Swordstruck said in dismissal. Revenge will be his. He turned around to talk to the 2nd Rogue Mystic. "Tell me... Is our beast ready?" The 2nd Rogue Mystic said as he adds, "All has been set. Destroyer Fuji is ready to attack once Winslow arrives with him. Swordstruck smirked, chuckling, "Good... Thanks to trapping their little friend at Land of Dirt, I had lure my enemy here. It is time to finish him off... for good. Nothing can stop us now. Thank you, old friend. Come, my brave and loyal soldiers, it is time to claim our rights and powers of the Earth Intelligence Force! And this time, Smartscar will fall into our hooves!" Rogue Mystics shouted and cried, "YEAH!!!" This time, nothing will get in their way! From deep within the cavern, a small cage was sighted, along with a giant pony chained to the wall, obviously guarding the cage. Button gulped, "Sweetie Belle... Please, be careful..." ----------------------------------------- A poacher pony smirks as he saw a rare elephant drinking water from a pond. The attacker raises his weapon, preparing to kill it... But then, a shadow appears over him, much to the pony's notice. He turns and screams as some creature grabs him, preparing to punish the poacher. Wuzubu doesn't like poachers...and he has a friend who is captured; Time to get him back soon.
