//------------------------------// // Chapter 1: Family Time // Story: To Kill A Young One // by JusSonic //------------------------------// Chapter 1: Family Time Twilight laughs, hanging out with her family in the living room at the castle. They are having a great time as a family, even a royal one of Equestria. Ben is playing keep away with Twilight, throwing Miss Smartypants around. Nyx giggles, trying her best to get it while the two Dragons watch on. Everyone is having a time of their life. But not everyone; For watching the scene via one of the Superior's crystal balls that he 'borrowed' is Boris fuming a bit at this. He shakes his head, feeling a bit...robbed. "That should've been me with Twilight, me in that castle, me having the glory." Boris said to his minions Boxco and Dum-Dum AKA Bocolix and Dumbledore who are drinking apple cider while serving their boss one. "But instead, Ben gets it all." "Well, he was everything you weren't, boss." Dumbledore remarks with a stupid chuckle. Boris glares at his minion, "Oh, sorry." "Oh, you're right, Dumbledore. Face it. Ben will always one up me no matter what. If only there's a way I can make a damn foal out of him." "I can arrange that." The Superior said as he appears, startling the two goons. Boris didn't bother turning around as the father of Trixie continues, "Boris, I will to send you on a...little mission. It's going to be a tricky one since you have been out of action for a while, but..." "Forget it, Superior." Boris snaps to the Superior interrupting the Apocalypse Ponies leader. "I am not in the moon for being your lap dog today." "I can even let Ms. Moon to help you..." "Hay no! Look, as much I appreciate Ms. Moon, she let that Demon Tso Lan possessed her and beat me up. No way am I going anywhere near here for a while!" "Boss, you may want to consider." Bocolix said in concern, noticing a silent look on the Superior's face. "Yeah, the Superior may not like you refusing his order." Dumbledore said nervously while nodding in agreement. "Relax, boys, I can take a hint...but I will come back should Boris...change his mind." The Superior said calmly then disappears from sight, making the goons more nervous. Boris scoffs a bit as he grabs a mug from Bocolix, drinking down the apple cider. As if that idiotic Superior would ever force him to reconsider! ---------------- Entering the stable in the Dark Mystic Realm, T. Moon whistled softly while levitating three buckets of meats to the family pet. She smiled, looking at Dragoking, sleeping on his hays. "Dragoking, breakfast time," T. Moon calls out to the Hydra. Grunted out loud, Dragoking woke up and stretched his long neck tight. He turned and looked at T. Moon. He smiled, and licked on her face for a few times, making her giggled happily. He stopped before T. Moon patted on his head gently. "That's a good boy. Who's your master's good boy?" Dragoking nuzzled her face gently, making her giggle. "Yes, you are, Dragoking. Here you go, tiger meats, just for you." Dragoking's mouth drooled out like a dog. T. Moon levitated three buckets down in front of Dragoking. The Hydra chowed and ate some meats in quick and haste. T. Moon giggled happily; the Apocalypse Pony loves it when he does this. She turned and headed out of the stables. T. Moon passed the Dark Warrior Trio, who bowed before her. She passed them by while the trio acted like themselves per usual. DJ Red chuckled, "Gotta admit one thing, she's one hot chick pony. Kinda reminds me of Twilight Sparkle." "Coz she is?" Clumsy Rat asks his pal stupidly. "Yeah, Shadow Dragon sure got one good lady with him." Shades remarked in amusement. Shadow Dragon is lucky to even have someone like T. Moon with him. T.t Moon returned to her chamber, and found the Superior in there. The boss was waiting for her obviously as if wanting to speak with the member. "Visiting your pet, I see." The Superior spoke making T.t Moon nodded her head. "I need your assistance, as well as the Demon General's." "What would that be?" T. Moon ask her leader curiously, preparing to work on a new mission. "I need you to 'convince' Boris in helping him and you to deal with Twilight Sparkle and her friends at once." T. Moon smiled evilly behind her hood, asking anxiously, "Will I get to see Shadow Dragon?" The Superior chuckled, answering, "No. That would attract the enemies' attention. And we can't afford that. Once the mission is over, you'll visit him." "As you wish, my master. Tso Lan, are you prepared?" Tso Lan appears, saying to his vessel with a cruel snarl of determination, "Head of Twilight Sparkle will be mine to deal with. Nightmare Moon will return to us." ------------ "Aieyah; Gah Ma Gwai Leh (What the heck are you doing?!) We don't have time for nonsense!" A familiar old pony exclaims frantically at some workers who quickly got scolded by him for doing something bad. At the Tea Shop, Tao ordered tea ingredients, books and pictures. Dragon Kick and Jade Adventure ordered dozens of Pepperoni Red Flower Pizza, noodles, rice, Bak Chow, vegetables. The Mane Six, the CMC and Ben arrived at the shop at this time, noting the mayhem that's occurring." "Whoa!" Button Mash, now a member of the CMC since his return from the Land of Dirt, exclaims in surprise. "Has it always been this intense?" "As usual," Sweetie remarks to Button with a giggle. "I wonder what's going on now." Applejack said, scratching her mane a bit in curiosity. "Mr. Tao, what are you doing?" Twilight ask Tao puzzled. Whenever the old pony is this freaked out, something's always up. "He's coming! Tao must make preparation for his arrival." Tao explains while frantically through the shop like a manic. "And my mommy too," Mighty Heart remarks in agreement while doing his best to help. "Awww, Mighty's mom is coming back?" Scootaloo ask with a pouty look. "Haven't that Dragon lady caused trouble the last time?" "Come on, she was worried for her son, Scoots." Nyx points out to Scootaloo, reminding of the incident with Brave Heart. "She's kinda a tough lady version of my mommy." "Only not so ugly," Rainbow jokes a bit, laughing at her joke. She notes the others glaring at her. "What? Okay, bad joke. But seriously, she's Brave Heart's Mystic Guardian, so she isn't all that bad, right?" Ben, deciding to get back to the subject of whom Tao's special visitor is gonna be, ask, "Who was it?" Dragon Kick chuckled happily, "My Uncle Keone or known as Mystic Hard." "And don't forget about Cousin Twintwist, Roughstrike, Techno and Funlaugh! The Teenage Ninja Ponies Four!" Jade exclaims with a smile of excitement. "Of course, I can't." Dragon Kick said with a sigh, "Hopefully, Roughstrike not doing something rough here again." "You're not use to his roughness. And you always get your flank kicked." "Not funny Jade!" "Ooooh! Teenage Ninja Ponies Four'? Sounds like a pony version of the TMNT!" Pinkie exclaims happily, bouncing up and down. "As usual, random," Rainbow remarks with a chuckle, shaking her head at her friend's usual randomness. "Perhaps Tao's family would like the surprise." "What surprise?" Twilight ask Rainbow suspiciously. "Oh, you'll see." "Wow, it must be neat to see more members of the Mystic Pony family here." Pipsqueak exclaims eagerly while smiling. "Right, it will give me more time to see how the Mystic Ponies work." Button Mash said, agreeing with Pipsqueak. "It must be great to see your family again." Twilight said to Tao with a smile. Tao smiled, breathed deeply while responding, "Yes... I can't wait. I have not seen him for 500 years." "500 years," Apple Bloom asks in surprise and amazement. "Great horny toads; 'Dat's a lot!" "Right, it's like the princesses not seeing their adopted mom Megan after so many years!" Dinky exclaims in amazement. "Oh my," Fluttershy said with a light giggle. "That's...nice." Twilight smiled, saying, "I know how you feel. I felt that too when I wanted to see my brother so much. When is he coming?" "About an hour," Tao explains, making the gang yelp in surprise, shock and/or confusion, maybe not in that order. "That is why I must make preparation." "Well, in that case, we will help you out." Ben said as he trots forward to help Tao out. "As a prince of the Friendship Rainbow Kingdom, I must help my friends when they need it." "Right, come on, girls, we got work to do." Twilight said with a smile. The girls and kids cheers as they trot in to assist Tao in the preparation, "And Rainbow? I want to know about your surprise soon." "Oh, getting anxious are we?" Rainbow teases Twilight, making her frown a bit. "I like that; Keeps my fans happy." ------------ Twilight, Ben and their friends managed to help Tao in getting ready for the visitors. They soon got the task done and decide to speak to Chase, hoping to see if he would attend. Ben met his mentor/friend inside his house and made the invite. Chase breathed deeply then answers, "No. I won't be joining you." "Why?" Twilight asked Chase in concern. "I wished to be alone for meditation." Chase explains clearly to Twilight. "But-" Ben started to say, wanting to figure out a way to convince Chase to come. Chase, however, interrupted Ben, "Ben, respect your master, take your day off. I wouldn't want to ruin your day off again when having someone to visit." "I guess so." Ben said with a sigh. If Chase doesn't wish to come, may as well respect his decision. Twilight, Ben and their friends exited Chase's home. "Very odd," Rarity said in concern. "You would've thought that Chase would wish to go." "Yeah, as if he's up to something," Twilight said in concern and suspicion. Even though Chase had yet to do something suspicious or illegal, the Alicorn can't help but had this suspicion of him. "Still, no need to jump to conclusions just yet, Twiley." Ben explains calmly to his filly-friend. "Chase has a good reason for not going and we should respect his decision." "Well, I guess." Twilight said with a nod. She is still giving Chase the benefit of the doubt until the stallion can prove himself a good guy or does something illegal. The Alicorn can wait. Inside of Chase's home, the fake hero transformed back to his Shadow Dragon who breathed deeply. T. Moon appeared before him, speaking to the fact that she overheard her love's converison, "So, why do you refuse? Is it because of your family?" "I rather not see them, even though I wanted it badly." Shadow Dragon mumbles to T. Moon. As much as he wants to see his old family again, the memories and the pain are still too deep for him. T. Moon smiled then kissed Shadow Dragon on his lips, before she spoke, "By the way, I'm on a mission now." "What would that be?" Shadow Dragon asks. Twilight Moon whispered into his ears. He nodded his head in realization, "Interesting. So, the Demon General wants to make his move." ------------------- At the Train Station, Twilight and her friends accompanied Mystic Tao, Dragon Kick, Jade and Mighty Heart, waiting for the train's arrival. The four need some help in greeting their relatives. The train arrived before stopping and opening its doors. Twilight, her friends and Mystic Guardians smiled happily, spotting Mama Heart from before. The other ponies who arrived are news one. There is Mystic Hard, dark brownish but bald Earth Pony with a long white beard and mustache, who wore an orange Japanese sensei's suit and his Cutie Mark is brown rat with a stick and sword, Twintwist, a light green Pegasus with a black spiky mane and tail, who had a blue mask and his Cutie Mark are Twin Swords; Roughstrike, a dark green Earth Pony with a yellow spiky mane and tail, who had a red mask, and his Cutie Mark are twin sais; Funlaugh, a slight bright green Earth Pony with a orange short mane and tail who had an orange mask and his Cutie Mark was Nunchucks, and a tan greenish Unicorn with a gentle short black mane and tail who worn a purple mask and had a pole Cutie Mark named Techno. The good guys watch as they come out from the train. "Mommy," Mighty Heart exclaims as he gallops over to his mother. "Mighty!" The mother in question exclaims. Mama and Mighty Heart hugged tightly. "Oh, my big boy. It's good to see you again! I missed you so much!" "Me too, mommy," Mighty Heart said with a smile. "Dai Go (Big Brother)! Tao exclaims as he bows to his big brother. "Tao-Otto (Little brother Tao)," Mystic Hard said as he bows to Tao right back. Jade greets the remaining cousins, "Cousins Twist, Rough, Techno and Funlaugh!" "Great to see you guys again!" Dragon Kick exclaims with a smile. Twintwist waves to the two, saying, "Long time no see." "Yeah! Finally, need some vacation!" Roughstrike mumbles a bit while stretching his back. "Boy, talk about kicking some bad guys' flanks." "Interesting; so this is the Friendship Rainbow Kingdom, I was expecting some kind of thousands of Royal Guards or something." Techno said as he observes Ponyville. Funlaugh chuckles, "Well, you know what they say, if you can't find them, then don't." Tao's family glared at Funlaugh, with their annoyance and irritation. Roughstrike snaps at his brother, "Fun-fun, that makes no sense. You really need to work on that one, seriously." "Aw, cut me some slack, dudes." Funlaugh said, "I like being witty. And fun, too." "Wow." Button Mash whistles a bit. "That Funlaugh guy makes Snips and Snails look smart in comparison." "The only difference is that he is older and an Earth pony." Nyx said in amusement, agreeing with Button Mash. Tao turned to Twilight and her friends as he begins the introductions, "My dearest friends, please welcome my oldest brother and the Headmaster of Mystic Ninjas; Mystic Keone Hard." "These are our best cousins Dragon Kick and I ever had." Jade said. "The blue mask is Twintwist. The red is Roughstrike. The purple is Techno. The orange is Funlaugh. "They are Uncle Hard's sons. They were the best and strongest ninjas among Mystic Ninjas. They are -" Dragon Kick said as he finishes the introductions of the cousins. The four cousins did some poses, exclaiming, "Teenage Ninja Ponies Four!" Mystic Hard cleared his throat. Both him and his sons bowed before Twilight and her friends, who returned the bowing back. Pinkie giggles, "Awesome! They're like the fan characters of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! Coolest and awesome action packed ninjas!" Funlaugh laughed happily, "You bet it is! We are totally awesome and always beat Shredder! We are so awesome!" Roughstrike groans at this, "Just great, another random pony; just what we need. This is... great." "Oh, oh! One of your four! Say cowabunga, say cowabunga!" Pinkie exclaims, bouncing up and down excitedly. "COWABUNGA," Funlaugh shouted as he did a pose. "Squee," Pinkie exclaims with a happy squee. "Well, say whatever you want, Pinkie is a fun one." Fluttershy said with a grin. "By the way, Tao, I noticed something about you and Mystic Hard. Your language are different." Twilight said thoughtfully. It's true; the two Mystic Ponies' languages are different from one another for some odd reason. Tao and Hard chuckled out loud. The former said, "I can explain that. Our father was Kouma Pony." "And our mother was Ma Pony." Hard add with a grin. "Oh, I get it." Rarity said with a smile. "Your parents are born with different nationalities." "Yeah, that makes sense." Spike said with a nod. "Come, brother, let me and Twilight shows you around her home: Ponyville." Tao said to his brother in approval. "Seriously; I thought the Friendship Rainbow Kingdom is her home." Funlaugh ask Tao puzzled. Roughstrike whacked on Funlaugh's head as he snaps, "Seriously! You really need to read some newspaper about it." Everyone chuckled happily. Rainbow smirks as she flies up, holding some tickets. Hard took them asking, "What are these?" "These are the tickets to my awesome new theme park! Rainbow Dash's Flightsplace Equestria," Rainbow exclaims eagerly, "Opening day's tomorrow!" "Theme park; what theme park," Twilight snaps to Rainbow in alarm. "I thought I told you that we didn't have the budget to help make one." "Oh, my new co-partner made it for me without going through days of building." Rainbow explains proudly. “That was the surprise I got planned.” "Let me guess: Discord?" Ben asks Rainbow though he doesn't really need an answer. "You made a theme park behind my back?!" Twilight ask Rainbow in disbelief. "We meant 'ta tell ya." Applejack said sheepishly. "Well, tell me firsthand next time you want to make something while using my budget!" Twilight snapped in irritation. "We didn't use budget per se, we used magic." Rarity explains to Twilight, trying to assure her that no money was involved. "Besides, the theme park should practically pay for itself." "Well, we shall check this theme park tomorrow," Hard said thoughtfully. "If only to see more of what Ponyville has to offer." "How about startin' with Sweet Apple Acres, me and mah sister's farm?" Apple Bloom suggested with a smile. "Yes, that shall work." Tao said with a slight chuckle. "Meanwhile, Miss Dash, I want a word with you about making a theme park behind my back." Twilight said darkly, using her magic to drag Rainbow off. "Ooooh, Auntie Dashie's in trouble." Nyx said, sensing Rainbow is in big trouble now. "Uh-oh," Button, Sweetie, Pipsqueak and Twist said in unison. -------------- "Owwwwww," Rainbow groans, feeling some of her feathers a bit burned from where Twilight has blasted her. "You didn't have to turn me into a Equestrian Fried Chicken!" "Well, that's what you get for your theme park being built unofficial, Miss Dash!" Twilight snaps as the others chuckle a bit. "Honestly? What if some filly or colt get hurt on one of your rides or a pony gets scammed by one of your midway games?! You think the princess will like it if she finds out and I didn't stop you from making your theme park?!" "That's why I am inviting you and the others to the free day, just to make sure things are on the level. Come on! Just hang with me, just like friends!" "She's right, sorta." Rarity said to Twilight thoughtfully. "And Ponyville could use the bits as well as the rest of Equestria." "Come on, Twiley! Please, please!" Pinkie insists, giving a puppy dog look, making Twilight groans a bit. "Oooooh; Fine; But I will be inspecting everything carefully, Miss Dash!" Twilight exclaims sternly to Rainbow, agreeing to come see this new theme park of her friend's and Discord's, "Very carefully; And no shenanigans!" "What? Me?" Rainbow asks with a sly smile as if trying to hide something. "Yeah, you." Before the conversion continues, the gang heard someone yelling from behind a house, "Unhand me, filthy thieves!" The gang recognizes the voice of DJ Red who snaps, "Hey; who you're calling thief, thief!" "Give us that back!" Tech's voice scowls angrily. Twilight and her friends sneaked behind the house, slowly and cautiously heading to the front. They gasped, seeing the Dark Warrior Trio, Black Tiger and Tech glaring at an silver Earth Pony with a spiky navy mane and a short tail, he had a short black beard, and his Cutie Mark was Rahab Clan Symbol, he is wearing straw hats. "It's those creeps again!" Rainbow exclaims quietly to her friends. "What are they up to this time?" "Oh dear, they appear to be trying to attack that poor pony." Fluttershy whispers right back in worry. "Return what you had stolen from us now! Thief," Black Tiger snaps to the pony sternly. "NOW," DJ Red orders, preparing to assault and take the new pony down. "I told you, I don't have one. Honest!" The new pony insists to his attackers in concern. Clumsy scowls, "Liar!" The gang decided to get in before these creeps even think of putting a hoof on the poor stranger. "Hand it over, or we are going to -!" Shades begin to say but a familiar voice cuts him off. "Do what?!" Twilight demands, making the Dark Warriors Trio, Black Tiger and Tech turned around and see the good guys confronting them, "How dare you harm that poor pony?!" "Right, yew yellow-bellied cowards should pick on something whose could fight back!" Applejack growls in agreement. "Yeah! Go on, pick on someone your own bravery!" Pinkie remarks as she takes her party cannon out, ready to take these jerks down. "Leave him alone now!" Ben demands to the Dark Mystic Ponies, getting his own Master Sword out. The last time that the Equestrian ponies fight these guys, they could barely defeat them. This time should be different hopefully. "Or else what, brat," DJ Red demand. Needless to say, Ben respond by blasting on the enemy's mane, making DJ Red gasped. He groaned angrily while taking a gun out. "I'm gonna blast you to the sky for that! GET HIM!" "I'm outta here! No way, I'm gonna face their Rainbow Power!" Tech screams like a girl, wanting to leave. If the Rainbow Power could defeat Tirek, the wimpy pony prefers to stay clear of it. Black Tiger smirked while saying, "That's what makes things interesting and challenging. Angry Crow Takes Flight!" The villain jumped up high before calling out, "Dragon strikes his Prey down!" Black Tiger slammed Ben to the ground hard, beating him down hard and quick. The hero dodged the attacks as quick as he can while fighting back. Ben kicked Black Tiger's flank to the front before he got back up. The Dark Mystic Pony punched on his head before Ben dodged down. Black Tiger punched on his muzzle, which was blocked by both hooves of his, before twisting and turning the enemy to another side, before kicking on his belly hard. Ben jumped up and punched his hoof onto Black Tiger, who dodged to his left before punching the Earth Pony's muzzle and face for three times and kicked his chest off of him. Ben and Black Tiger continued fighting and battling. Rainbow Dash took out her Magical Nunchuck, Pinkie Pie took her Party Canon and Rarity took out her Eternal Style, they blasted their Magical Blasts at DJ Red, Clumsy Rat and Shades, who quickly hid behind a bunch of rocks while blasting their weapons back at them. Twilight blasted her Alicorn Bursts at the rocks, causing the Dark Warriors Trio yelped and fell to their backs. Clearly, the gang had learned from their previous confrontation and are prepared! Applejack smirked at Tech. He gulped, shouting for help. The Techbots and Strike Techbots appeared and blasted their guns at her. Applejack dodged the attacks and fought back by using the Diamond Lasso against from one to another. Tech sneaked behind, escaping the battlefield. No way is he facing these ponies. However in front of him now are Phobos and Spike, both smirked. Tech screamed loudly, running away from the Dragons, who blasted their Dragon Flames at him. Fluttershy, Nyx and Cutie Mark Crusaders approached the silver Earth Pony, the yellow pony spoke, "Are you okay, sir?" The new pony nods as he explains, "Yes, I am fine. Thank you, my friends. Therefore, I will return you a favor." "Wait; no need ‘ta fight on our account." Apple Bloom protests to the new pony in concern. "Right, just stay and..." Nyx said in agreement but yelps as the silver pony prepares to jump. "Hey, wait!" The silver pony jumped over to Ben's side, who was struggling when he was strangled by Black Tiger. The silver pony quickly punched on Black Tiger's back four times. Black Tiger yelped in pain, letting Ben go. The new pony grabbed Black Tiger and swung him around and around for about five times, slamming him right on the Dark Warriors Trio. The silver pony came over to Applejack, punching and kicking all of Techbots to pieces while dodging the attacks and blasts. He jumped in front of Tech, giving him a glare. Tech screamed like a filly, "I'm outta here!" Tech disappeared in the black smoke. Clumsy yelps, "Hey wait up!" "Don't leave us, you idiot!" DJ Red exclaims frantically. The tide has turned. Time for the Dark Mystic Ponies to get the Tartarus out of here! Black Tiger snarls at his enemies, "We will get you for this!" The Dark Mystic Ponies quickly disappeared in black smoke. The good guys nod, smiling in victory. Those jerks are gone this time. "Man, what jerks." Button remarked, cringing at the memory. "I can see why you ponies had trouble with them." "Right, but why would they wanna attack that poor new pony?" Sweetie asks curiously to Button, pondering why the Dark Mystic Ponies would go after some silver pony. "Let's find out!" Phobos exclaims as the ponies came over to the silver pony, wanting to see if he's okay from what he himself has gone through. "Thank you for that, my friends. My name is Andrew." The new comer pony known as Andrew said, bowing to the group. "And now, I must go to Ponyville or the Friendship Rainbow Kingdom." "Friendship Rainbow Kingdom," Pipsqueak asks, arching an eyebrow at this. "Why, you're here at Ponyville, the Kingdom is at the other end." "Yeah, so what brings you here, mister?" Twist asks Andrew curiously. "To see my son, of course," Andrew explains to the ponies with a nod. "Son; and who is he?" Ben asks Andrew curiously. "Dragon Kick," Andrew answer, making everyone gasped. "Do you know him?" "Do we know him?!" Pinkie giggles a bit. "Do we know him?! Why, he's a good pal of ours!" "Yeah, and Dragon Kick is your son?!" Rainbow ask Andrew in amazement, Andrew nods as he explains, "Yes, Dragon Kick is my son. In fact, I'm Mystic Hard's and Tao's younger brother as well. I was told that I can find them here. Tao acted as Princess Twilight Sparkle's Mystic Guardian. My, my, he sure is a special pony. And I can't wait to meet her, the prince, the daughter and the heroines of Equestria." "Sir, no need to look further," Twilight chuckles to Andrew, making him arch an eyebrow in curiosity, "Because I am Princess Twilight Sparkle." "And I'm Prince Benjamin Maregillian!" Ben introduces himself to Andrew, much to the Mystic Pony's further surprise. "I'm their daughter! Hee hee," Nyx giggles, jumping on her mother's back in happiness. "And we're the heroines of Equestria!" Rainbow exclaims as she puts on a pair of sunglasses, posing with her friends. "Wanna bet?" "Seriously; oh dear, I apologize of that. How rude of me," Andrew said as he bowed. "It is an honor to meet you. Would you like to see my tricks?" "Sure, go right ahead." Twilight said, motioning for Andrew to go ahead. The pony smiles as he holds out a bit, showing it, then made his hooves move fast enough. A while later, Andrew stops and shows that his hooves are indeed empty. "Okay, so you made your hooves disappear?" Scootaloo ask Andrew, a bit unimpressed. "So what's the big deal?" "Hey, my bits are gone!" Rarity yelps as she notices that a bag of bits are missing. "Where are they?!' Andrew chuckles as he took out a familiar bag of bits as well as his own. As the Mystic Pony gave the bag back, he adds, "A trick of the hooves, my friend. Sorry to doing that, I can make things disappear faster than David Cottontail." "Wow; that is amazing." Pinkie said, whistling a bit. "Yeah, this guy could be a regular thief, if it's possible." Dinky said to her friends who nod. "Yeah...but why are those guys chasing him in the first place?" Twist asks her friends in concern. "Come on. If he's related to Tao and Mystic Hard, they obviously wanted to harm him." Button answers with a shrug, "Why not?" "You wouldn't mind taking me to see him, now do you?" Andrew ask curiously, preferring to his son Dragon Kick of course. "It would be an honor." Twilight said to Andrew with a grin, knowing that Tao's family will be happy to see him again. "And of course, I can give you a ticket to my newest theme park." Rainbow insists with a grin to Andrew. She notices Twilight's annoyed look. "What?" ---------- Boris sighs as he got out of the shower and dries himself off. The former hero of Equestria has had a long day so far of practicing. He just wants to sit down and get some rest. But as Boris leaves the house, he saw a familiar mare in a cloak waiting for him: Ms. Moon. The villain frowns as he snaps at her, "You? Look, I told the Superior. I am not going on a stupid mission today!" "Oh, on the contrary, you're about to go on a mission you may never forget, my friend." Ms. Moon said mysteriously to Boris making him frown and scoff, while leaving. "I will forget it right now. You may look like somepony I know but..." Suddenly Ms. Moon appears in front, making Boris gasps as he got yelp in some sort of spell. The mare smirks as some of her familiar essence came out of her. "Remember how Nightmare Moon's former cult got possessed by her essence?" Ms. Moon asks Boris eerily and creepily. "You're about to experience it right now...and I know of a place where you can do your mission in a place full of foals!" Boris screams as the essence goes into him, turning his world black...
