So Swooty Bell realized that it was like 4 A.M so they decided to go home and regroup in the morning.
David the Gnome somehow made it home faster than anyone else.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!
Anyway he got home and his home was a tree. He entered the tree but HOLD THE PHONE it was really a high tech headquarters of some kind.
David the Gnome turned on the huge monitor in front of him.
"Greetings Special Agent S. What news do you bring to the Collective?" Asked a dark silhouette.
"I have located The Crystal King, and I have made contact with Swooty Bell" Replied David the Gnome.
"Excellent work! The Overlord will be pleased NYUCK NYUCK" Said the other guy.
"I will report soon Agent J" Said David the Gnome and yes I am typing out the full name every time.
"FOR THE HONOR OF OVERLORD DOO!" They said in unison.
----------------------------------------------
Well it was a bad move waiting until morning because that gave Twix Bar and the others time to make it deep into Tartarus.
"I KNOW YOU'RE HERE!" Screamed Twix Bar for the 220th time.
"Want that I should go and be all like shaking down some mooks to get the information you be needin?" Asked Bashful Bernard who is also a gangster now.
"Not yet. I know she's watching us. We just need to be patient" Twix bar said and was totally right.
Marcopolypse watched them at all times, waiting for them to show signs of weakness.
"I think I may feel weak at any second" Said Pinker Play and Marcopolypse got really excited.
"Nope I got my second wind!" Pinker Play you such a buster!
After 12 hours passed, Marcopolypse spoke.
"STATE YOUR NAME, AND GAIN AUDIENCE WITH ME!" Wow that's all it takes?
"I am Snickers, the most powerful Unicorn on Horse Planet" He said, really screwing it up.
"I KNOW WHO YOU ARE! STATE YOUR NAME!" Marcopolypse repeated and oh man she hates doing that.
"I AM KING MOMBA! CRYSTAL KING AND ALL AROUND CRYSTAL ENTHUSIAST!" Was that so hard?
They found themselves being teleported, but a really slow and weird kind of teleported.
"OH MAN OH NO THIS IS SO PAINFUL!" Said Roority after the second hour in mid teleport.
Finally after 4 hours they arrived in the Lair of Marcopolypse, located just beneath the Battleground of Torment.
"Momba, what could possibly bring you here? Do you wish for a quick death, because I can not promise that" Marcopolypse was kinda a B word sometimes BUT DON'T TELL HER I SAID THAT!
"What are you talking about? I just wanted to make a deal with you" Momba was puzzled.
"Why would I EVER have dealings with you? You are my oldest foe! You are the one who defeated me and cast my power into Tartarus all of those years ago! Give me ONE reason not to kill you here and now!" Marcopolypse began to glow red that was a neat trick (just like spinning).
"I have NO idea what you're talking about" Oh man he doesn't remember?
"Oh man you don't remember?" Asked Marcopolypse see that's what I'M saying.
“Nope” And that was the truth.
“I see. It all makes sense now! After I returned to this planet, I could see a change in you. Our battle drove you insane didn't it? Oh I love it! I won after all” Marcopolypse was really loving this.
“Look, I came here after one thing” He was interrupted.
“Is it a Crystal? Asked Marcopolypse condescendingly.
“NO......NO..........it’s a really really BIG crystal” Oh boy.
“How big are we talking? And what is in it for me? And why are you here?” Marcopolypse had got so caught up in the conversation that she forgot that 6 ponies now stood in her lair.
“I offer you great knowledge. I am a dream walker, and one day I learned of something amazing. A crystal the size of a universe!” Momba was drooling while talking about this.
“And why should I care about this?” You tell him Marcopolypse .
“Because the crystal sits at the top of the Universal Gallery!” Now we’re talking!
“I heard Discord mention this place, but what use is it to me?” Marcopolypse was intrigued.
“The gallery is the pathway to all other universes in existence. You would have the power to not only visit them, but using the Crystalline Attractor, you can suck raw elements from the universes!” Momba really knows his stuff.
“Again, what use is this to me?” She was getting impatient.
“What is the most common element in the universe?” He asked her.
“.........You mean?” Her eyes lit up.
“CHOCOLATE!” He proudly announced “Imagine the POWER you could hold! The raw chocolate power of every universe absorbed into your chocolate core!” And he had her!
“Hold on, why would you help me like this?” She is not a trusting Marcopolypse .
“I shall accompany you, and after you gain your power, you will give ME the Crystalline Attractor for my collection” And it all comes together.
“Yes......THIS WILL BE MY VICTORY!” She was getting hyped!
“I only need one other thing from you” Momba said.
“I knew it was too good to be true!” Marcopolypse prepared to destroy him.
“NO, WAIT! THIS WILL HELP US BOTH!” He pleaded and she backed off a little.
“These 5 ponies have a request! They wish for REVENGE against Swooty Bell, the one pony who could stand in our way!”
Marcopolypse looked over the ponies, and a plan was formed in her chocolaty brain.
----------------------------------------------
So the Swooty Bunch has been searching for like hours for Twix Bar in the Neverever forest because no one can remember how to find Tartarus and David the Gnomes map had coffee spilled on it off screen.
“Guys we gotta keep looking until we find that Twix Bar” Said Swooty .
“Maybe we should split up to cover more ground” Said Spine who had an ulterior motive.
“Well ok I guess we can-” But before Swooty could finish, Spine and Changeshape had run off into the forest, leaving Swooty with David the Gnome.
“So, uh, what kinda hobbies does a David the Gnome have?” Asked Swooty.
“I enjoy mushrooms” Replied David the Gnome.
This was going to be a LOOOOOOOOOOONG search.
----------------------------------------------
Spine and Changeshape ditched the search to go get smoothies, but this had no relevance to the story because they went right back to searching.
“So what I don’t understand is why is he a Gnome?” Asked Changeshape, and it sounded kind of racist.
“What do you mean” Said Spine who was trying to sound not as racist.
“It’s just he’s the only Gnome I’ve ever seen, and I lived in the forest for years!” Oh man she used to be the queen of an entire nation! She sure took her downfall well.
“Oh man you’re right! GNOMES AREN’T REAL! HOW DID WE NOT REMEMBER THAT?” Spine get it together!
“It just slipped my mind I guess” Yeah Changeshape that makes sense.
So they walked around and after a while they remembered that the city bus had a stop at Tartarus, so they got on the bus and drove right on over, completely forgetting about Swooty Bell.
To bad that the bus was taking them to the GRYPHON Tartarus, and also that they forgot that Changeshape could have just speed buggied them home because they walked like all day to get back.
----------------------------------------------
Marcopolypse and Twix bar wrote up a detailed plan.
Step 1 - Build a new space vessel
Step 2 - Go to universal Gallery
Step 3 - Take all of the Chocolate
They are mad geniuses!
“Now that the plans are drawn, I shall enact our ‘Kill Swooty’ plan!” Marcopolypse laser zapped the Pony Hair 5.
“FAST SPECTRUM, YOU ARE TO BECOME THE PONY OF SPEED!” Marcopolypse proclaimed.
Fast Spectrum gained the ability to fly really REALLY fast, instead of just really fast..
“BASHFUL BERNARD, YOU ARE TO BECOME THE BEAST MASTER!”
Now when Bashful Bernard throws animals, they explode like bombs.
“PINKER PLAY, YOU ARE TO BECOME THE SUPER DUPER PARTY PONY!”
Pinker Play now has a pony party fortress and a big vat of acid.
“APPLE DAPPLE! YOU ARE TO BE THE LEADER! YOU NOW HAVE THE POWER OF APPLES!”
Apple Dapple now had the power of apples.
“ROORITY!”
And she didn’t say anything else.
“YOU ARE NOW THE FOUR HORSEMEN OF MARCOPOLYPSE, AND ROORITY!” Announced Marcopolypse.
She sent them to kill Swooty Bell.
