The Cutie mark crusaders were very suprised about the big absence they had was nearly imposible for them to disapear for three weeks. Twilight then began to walk towards the little fillies just to stop a meter near them.
"Tell me now my little ponies where have you been all this time?" asked Twilight, the concern was written all over her face. The crusaders were watching between themselves seeing if one of them was going to say some excuse or do something about it.
"Well, tha thing is" said Apple Bloom as she gave two hoof steps foward "the thing is that we cant explain what happened" said Scootaloo in advance of what Apple Bloom would say, in mean time Sweetie Bell gave Babs a nod to begin with her relic to hypnotize Twilight, Babs understood and began to walk to get her hypno relic to enchant the magic word.
"What does that mean!?," asked Twilight suprised by the anwser that she heard, "you four had disapear from Poniville and then out of nowhere you reapeared and say that you have no idea where you were hiding!?" she continued more suprised at the moment.
"You could say that, exactly" replied Scootaloo wit a nervous chuckle as she began to touch her pendant wishing to know how to activate it and how to use it in least.
"listen girls i dont know if you planned this and went off on a adventure or made up some cruel joke upon all your friends and beloved ones but all of you will be comming with me to the library, were you can explain yourself in detail, now follow me please" explained Twilight as she then turned away from them and trotted to the door.
"Now Babs!" shouted Sweetie Bell, as Babs lifted the lamp and pointed toward's Twilight as she chanted the magic word "et docebit!" yelled Babs as she pointed the lamp towards Twilight, the lamp began to glow with a magic aura but then with no reason the lamp didn't do anything and stop it's glow.
"What happened? what was that?" questioned Twilight suprised by the light of the lamp as she trotted towards Babs to have a closer look to the rare object.
"It's nothing Twilight, nothing at all" said Scootaloo blocking the way of the princess as Babs hold a grip on the lamp avoiding to lose it in the hooves of Twilight.
"Enough! girls i need an explanation and need it now!" demanded Twilight as she levitaded Scootaloo to put her aside and reached to Babs, "and what is that thing that you are hiding?" asked Twilight looking towards Babs very serious.
"But what happend?, why it didn't work?" asked Apple Bloom whispering to Sweetie Bell, the three crusaders were behind Babs thinking in what should they do, when Apple Bloom notice something strange in the club house.
"I'm not going to repeat it young lady hand it over" demanded Twilight streching her hoof to Babs, she was about to give the relic to Twilight when Apple Bloom jump between them.
"Twilight where is ma'h sister?" she asked just in time to avoid the delivery.
"She is in the library, very worried for you" responded Twilight lowering her hoof.
"And how is she?" Apple Bloom continued making a grin.
"she is fine, Apple Bloom" Twilight responded suspecting something wrong.
"who is fine, Twilight?" asked Apple Bloom loking towards Twilight expecting the answer that she wanted to hear.
"you know her, Maple Jack your sister!" replied Twilight not knowing what she was into. And that was all Apple Bloom needed to hear as for the other crusaders they all now notices the error in her word's and then they reunited themselve's against Twilight, the princess seemed confused and nervous as for the four crusaders began to go near her.
"Say Twilight, how's Sweetie's sister?" continue the interrogation Apple Bloom smiling even more as the same goes for the other crusader's now that they knew what was happening.
"We-well Flareity is fine too she is in the-" said Twilight nervously as she was interrupted
"Knock it off Azrael!" shouted Sweetie Bell, "you should've known that my sister's name is not that" she continued. The rest of the crusader's sighed in relief that it was just their friend.
"why did you do something like that?" asked Babs now with a serious look towards the false Twilight. the fake princess gave a small chuckle and with a golden aura surrounding her she transformed back in the three horned pony he was.
"It was a test" he replied with his same grin in his face as he trotted to the table with the tea set. The four crusader's seemed confused as they walked towards the table as well.
"what do you mean with that?" questioned Scootaloo a bit angry for that kind of answer.
"can you explain yourself?" asked Sweetie Bell
"Well yes, i can explain," replied Azreal as he began to pour tea to all five cup's and deliver them one by one, "remember that i tould you that those relic's are ilegal?" he then asked.
"Of course we do, you said that we had to be careful," Replied Apple Bloom as she lifted her cup to give sip to the tea she then realized what Azrael planned, "so that's why you did it!" she then exclaimed.
"Very good, so if the farm filly has noticed it then that means that you four have solved it as well, right?" asked Azrael as he claped his hooves in celebration the crusader's now knew what he meant.
"So this was a test to prove how loyal we are to the secret?" asked Scootaloo as she hit the table with her hooves
"Exactly!" Replied Azrael as he take a sip of his tea, "you know, if you aren't careful, all of you will be caught and will have to explain your self about the relic's, thats why i wanted to see how you all can deal with the situation, and i am glad of the result's" he added as he poured more tea to his cup.
"Well, we had to plan to hypnotize her to make her forget or have her our slave to help us to get through the situation" said Babs blowing her mane and drinking her tea.
"but i have a question," said Sweetie Bell lowering her tea, "why the relic didn't work?" she then questioned.
"Yeah, you said this thing would work, and it didn't" added Babs rising the lamp with her hooves.
"The relic does work," replied Azrael "the thing is that it does'nt work on other relic user's" he added.
"I believe that this is something important that you should say from the very begining, don'tcha think?" replied Apple Bloom as she lowered her empty cup in the table.
"Well you now you know," Azrael replied as he refilled her cup with more tea "besides it's not like there are more ponies with hypno relic's or are they?" the red pony added as he finished serving tea to Apple Bloom.
"If you put it that way" said Scootaloo as she finally take a sip of her tea to calm herself. The four fillies then take a silent time to drink their tea as Azrael made appear a plate with all kind of cookie's. In the end of the tea party Azrael then clear his throat to make some anouncement.
"Listen little one's, im going to be gnenrous and say this in order to master your hypno relic's with ease, i have made come four of your filly freind's so that each of you can hypnotize them," said the red unicorn as he walked towards the door, "and on more thing if you are in trouble with your slaves or that the relic can't work well just say my name and i'll be there in a flash just to avoid more problems that you can cause" he added.
"well that seems very handy" sad Babs, "yeah, i like how that sounds" replied now Sweetie Bell.
"And who will be our test subject's?" asked Apple Bloom, "Yeah who are our victims?" aided in the question Scootaloo,
"does it really matter?" replied Azrael as he disapeared with teleportation and a laugh from behind. The Cutie Mark Crusaders were now alone looking to each other in excitment now that they have the power to take control of their sister's, but it was Apple Bloom that had a question in mind.
"How are we supossed to use them?" Apple Bloom questioned as she grabed her relic looking at Babs.
"Niether i know how to use my relic and Azrael said that our test subjects will come very soon" said Scootaloo in worry as she took the amulet in her hoof
"I don't know but i think it could be something obvious" replied Babs as she lifted her lamp.
"Yeah, try putting it on your neck" said Sweetie Bell looking to Scootaloo as she take one candy off the bag.
"Okay then here it goes" said Scootaloo as she placed the amulet in her neck and a radiant glow surronded her.

"Why are we going to that lame club house? it's like theres nothing interesting in there" a voice from a filly was heard as she was trotting in the apple ochard with her head held high.
"For some reason i felt the need to go there and besides we can make fun of those Cutie Mark Cry Babie's" a second filly voice from behind the first one replied.
"Well thats a good reason, but why are they going with us!?" the filly number one pointed towards other two fillies that were behind them one was a mare and the other one was a colt that were trotting from behind.
"For th'ome rea'thon i felt the need to visit my friend Apple Bloom, and i won't let you make fun of her for not having a cutie mark, th'o be kind okay?" replied the third filly catching up to the other two in front.
"Hey, i had the same idea for some reason, i needed to go to the CMC club house and i don't even know why" said the colt from behind, the four fillies were no other than in order than Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, Twist and Rumble they had no idea or reason to go to the club house in thier.minds they thought that something interesting would happen there
"Well isn't this a bit strange that we all four for no reason wanted to go to that lame club house?" asked Diamond Tiara as she stopped her track's.
"well a'th i th'aid i wanted to vi'thit my freind and that i'th a good rea'thon for me" said Twist passing by Diamond Tiara not stopping.
"In some way it is kinda of strange but im not bothered in any way" replied Rumble as he to passed byDiamond Tiara.
"There's no use in reasoning with these loser's, better get going" said Silver Spoon as she and Diamond Tiara trotted together until the four little fillies reached the club house.
"I have never wanted to go to this dumb club house but still i had this feeling that i needed to come her" said Daimond just for the need to confess with the other's.
"So do i" mentioned Silver Spoon.
"Thats odd i always thought that whatever you do, your freind will always be in agreement" said Rumblewith a mocking face.
"Thath true you alwaith do thingth together no matter what" said the Twist smiling.
"Oh quiet you!" shouted Diamond, "well we are here so let's get this over with" she added, as soon they take the first step they observed that from the window of the club house apeared an orange flash the four fillies stopped to what they have seen.
"What was that?" asked the Silver spoon suprised.
"Maybe their doing something interesting and our reason for comming here" replied Rumble with excitment for what it could be.
"well what are we waiting for le'th go" added Twist as the four fillies trotted to the stairway to the door of the club house.
__________________________________________________________________________________________
"They're here" said Babs looking over the window.
"Who's coming?" asked Apple Bloom taking one incense stick out of the box she have.
"It's Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon and i dont think that i know those other two that are coming" replied Babs moving away from the window.
"Don't you think that Azrael knew about our enemies?" questioned Sweetie Bell marbeling with the candy in her hooves.
"Well, he knew about our sister's so this is not suprising at all, or maybe it was all a coincidence afterall we all are classmates" replied Scootaloo as she moved towards the second floor of the club house.
"Where are you going?" asked Babs as she looked up from the ladder.
"I'm hiding i don't want them to see me like this from the very beginning" replied Scootaloo as she hide her head and disapear from sight. *knock, knock, knock* The door sound as for it was the arrival of the four test subjects.
"Hello Cutie Mark Cry babies are you in there?" asked Diamon Tiara banging the door once more
"coming," replied Sweetie Bell as she troted to the door as she openedth door, she recieved their guest with a smile, "welcome, come on in to the CMC club house" she introduced, the four guests entered to the club house two out of four fillies were amazed for being inside fo the first time others were not amused for being here for second time.
"I hope you have something interesting for us to make a waste of time to come here" said Diamond as she walked her way to the table in the center.
"Well as a matter of fact we do, so please wait a little more" replied Sweetie Bell as she trotted towards the other CMC.
"Hey rumble!" shouted Scootaloo as she showed her head from the second floor.
"What is it Scoots?" questioned the little colt.
"Come up here, i wanted to show you something awesome" replied Scootaloo as she moved once again inside.
"Uh, okay" said Rumble as he thought that or a second he saw something strange in scootaloo's eye's, he reached the ladder as he began to climb it.
"Apple Bloom you club hou'th i'th th'o incredible!" said Twist as she trotted near the the yellow filly.
"Wel thank's, hey would you mind and take a look on what i have in this room?" asked Apple Bloom pointing to the door on the bottom of the room.
"Of cour'th not le'th go" replied the beige filly trotting happy to the small room followed by Apple Bloom.
"but i wanted to test it with Twist!" cried Sweetie Bell raising her candy.
"maybe next time Sweetie" replied Apple Bloom as she closed the door and then there were only Sweetie Bell and Babs left in the room with Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon. with a big inhale and exhale Sweetie went towards Diamond.
"hey Diamond Tiara would you like a candy?" offered Sweetie showing her the purple with red spirals candy to the pink filly
"I dont like common candy" rejected Daimond moving her head in disaprovall.
"but these are imported candy from Neighpon" insisted Sweetie moving closer the candy.
"Well then better be good or else" manaced Diamond taking the candy from her hoof and eating it from bite to bite the face of Diamond began to smile as she get like the flavor of such candy.
"It's the best candy i have ever tasted, oh, the flavour, it's like my tounge is in paradise!" said Diamond with excitment and joy, "can i have another?" she continued as she streched her hoof towards Sweetie for more candy.
"I dont know, after all, these candies are so tasty and rare" replied Swetie teasing Diamond showing her another one in front of her eyes.
"Please, i'll do anything for one more!" cried Diamond in a position of beging.
"Let's see then, act like a dog!" ordered Sweetie Bell with a smirk in her face. Without a doubt Diamond Tiara raised her fore leg's and take her tounge out "BARK, BARK!" she shouted, all the pride and dignity flew off the window for Diamond as she only wanted to taste that candy once more.
"What are you doing DT!?" exclaimed Silver Spoon in shock for seeing her friend acting in such manner, "anwser me!" she yelled .
"I can't belive it, it work very well!" said Sweetie Suprised of the results.
"What have you done to her!?" yelled Silver Spoon as she marched towards Swetie Bell for awnsers.
"Diamond, defend me" ordered Sweetie and in an instant Diamond Tiara jumped between the two fillies growling towards Silver Spoon.
"Diamond snap out of it!" cried Silver Spoon as she began to cry in fear, but then the door in the back opened wide as a dense smoke came out of the door as so did Apple Bloom and Twist, Twist seemed strange as she was dragging her hooves and had some sort of dopey face, "Hey girl's, seem's like ya'll are having fun," said Apple Bloom as she saw the conmotion, "now look at this, Twist what will you do?" she questioned to her friend.
"Anything you want me to do Apple Bloom" replied Twist not losing that dopey look in her face.
"Twist, call me mistress" Apple Bloom ordered raising her hoof to her chin, Twist didn't seemed to lose the dopey look in her face.
"ye'th my mi'thtre'th" replied Twist with a dopey smile.
"Close enough," said Apple Bloom moving her hoof from Twist chin and trotted towards Sweetie Bell, "is she a puppy?" she asked pointing towards Diamond Tiara as she still was growling at Silver Spoon.
"Sure is," replied Sweetie with a smile, "look, she even is trained, Diamond Sit" she continued and without hesitation Diamond Tiara turned to Sweetie Bell and Sat as a puppy can only know how.
"That's nu'thing, Twist roll over" comanded Apple Bloom moving her hoof in circle.
"Ye'th mi'thtre'th" responded Twist as she fell on the floor and roll over slowly.
"What is wrong with all of you!?" shouted Silver Spoon in panic for what she was seeing, Befor Apple Bloom could say a word Scootaloo apaered from above.
"hey girl's i don't think this is working," said Scootaloo as she slithered down from the ladder with Rumble around her coils Silver Spoon lead out a scream as Scootaloo positioned herself near the other crusader's, "just look at him, he has this face of satisfaction but it does'nt seem that he will hear me or even obey me" she continued showing the hypnotized Rumble in front of them.
"well have you tried ordering him to do something?" asked Sweetie Bell giving a candy to Diamon Tiara just to keep her under hypnosis.
"Heh, i should have tried that in the first place," said Scootaloo a bit ashamed for not trying that in the first place, "okay rumble i want you to kiss my hoof" ordered Scootaloo as she placed her right hoof in front of him and as a obidient mindless slave he kissed the hoof.
"Eew, gross" claimed Sweetie Bell making a face of digusted.
"What? it feel's like you are in charge and superior to him in many way's" replied Scootaloo very pleased for the strange treatment.
"Well i'd like to try it," said Apple Bloom as she trotted towards Twist, "Twist kiss ma'h hoof were you are" she ordered to the little filly as she placed a hoof in front of her.
"Ye'th my mi'thtre'th" replied Twist as she began to kiss the hoof of Apple Bloom in the ground, Apple Bloom seemed to like the feeling as for her smile grew wider and wider.
"I have to leave this mad house!," shouted Silver Spoon as she turned around and wanted to leave but for some reason she couldn't place the hoof in the ground and walk to the exit, "why i can't move, i can't leave this place?!" cried Silver Spoon, she then gave up on leaving to take a breath as she placed the hoof in the ground.
"Why isn't she leveaing?" inquired Scootaloo as she put away her hoof from Rumble.
"It must be Azrael suggestion in case she avoids our hypnosis that she can't leave no matter what" replied Sweetie Bell as she was petting Diamonds head.
"Why isn't she hypnotized?" now asked Apple Bloom, the three crusader's then turned their heads towards the last but not least crusader Babs as she had the lamp in her hoof.
"What?" said Babs as she blow her mane and trotted near Silver Spoon.
"Why isin't she hypnotized?" questioned Sweetie in demand.
"I just wanted to see her reaction of all this scenery" replied Babs as she raised the lamp towards Silver Spoon.
____________________________________________________________________________________
The grey filly had no idea in what was going to be of her but from what happend to her friend and the other two her destiny wouldn't be difrent, all she can do was to observe, of course the thought of tackling babs and attacking the other three past through her mind but then the same voice in her head made her discard that option. A voice sound through her ear's it was from Babs as she heard the word's "et docebit" and then all her thoughts and options faded away the only thing that remain that make her fell herself was to obey her master in everything she say beacuse she had no will to act or think for herself beacuse her master ws the onlly one to decide her destiny.
______________________________________________________________________________________________
"Comand me master" were the first word's that pronunced the unwilled Silver Spoon with a emotionless face.
"Well, first i want you to forget the last twenty minutes that happened" ordered Babs as she take a look in the lamp that began to glow a purple light that was wandering all over inside the small oil lamp, "as you wish" responded Silver Spoon without a blink.
"this sure proves that these relics work very well and that they have no will to struggle or fight back"said Scootaloo as she lifted Rumble with her coils and gave him another special look at the little colt.
"What now then?, what are we gonna do with these ones?" asked Apple Bloom as she ordered to Twist to prepare the tea.
"It's simple first we entertain ourselves with them and tomorrow we go for the real target!" said Sweetie Bell mischievously as she ordered to Diamond to dance in a corner.
The four Cutie Mark Crusaders enjoy today their power over their mindless victims to see how far they can go being hypnotized beacuse for tomorrow it will be payback time against their sister's.
