Episode Twenty: Mystic Isn't Your Color

"This crossover of My Little Pony and Total Drama contains scenes of extreme stunts performed by animated teens or ponies. Do not try any of what you see here at home. Seriously, you could get messed up."

-----------------

Chris: Last time on Total Drama Equestria, teams pay a visit to Canterlot where yours truly hit a little challenge blocker. Things got complicated when two of our future contestants, Max and Scarlett, hold most of the eliminated contestants hostage though Twilight and Ben took care of that problem quickly. Although Chef and I wasn't there for the full details, everyone else figure out that one of the swords, needed for the five magic swords to remove a wall in the questers' path, which is called the Majestic Sword of Truth, is on an island called Pirate Skull, which is surprisingly in Katie's children book.

Pinkie: Not for long!

Chris: Long story short, the Royal Sisters, Chef, Discord, Twilight, Ben, the Final Seven, and I decided to take a trip to the Pirate Skull Island, along with the stowaways known as the Cutie Mark Crusaders, Spike and Phobos. After a swimming in the Beautiful Briny Sea, we ended up on the island where yours truly 'referee' to be a volunteer in the Pirate King Tobias's soccer game, much to the dismay of non-sports player Noah. Also joining in are the future contestants Amy and Samey.

Celestia: Chris, it's 'Sammy'.

Chris: Actually 'Samey' is more fun to say! Anyway, Samey became friends with some of the ponies and girls and the soccer game is on.

(We see clips of the soccer game, especially those showing Chris getting run over a few times.)

Chris: (annoyed) Okay, not cool, dude! After the soccer game, yours truly pull a fast one on Tobias and got off the island before he could rip us apart. But of course, Noah's actions of hurting B last episode causes the princesses to disqualified him from the game.

We see Chris in the armory, smiling to the camera as he spoke, "We are now down to six, and things are going to get a bit tricky. We're hitting the Mystic Realm for a mission to recover another sword. Will we succeed? And why is Celestia so freaked out? Find out more on this episode of..." As Chris finishes the intro, we pan away from the castle. "...Total...Drama...EQUESTRIA!"

JUSSONIC AND TOONWRITER PRESENTS...

AN ORANGE RATCHET PRODUCTION...

We see an intro like in every season of Total Drama as well as 'My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic'. Twilight Sparkle and Spike yelped upon popping up cameras in their balloons, but ignored them as Rainbow Dash flew around and started charging towards the town of Ponyville, where the pony versions of our favorite Total Drama players were currently residing.

Down below, we see Beth and Brady talking a little bit as Cody was seen looking at two pictures, wondering which one he should choose. Twilight Sparkle and Spike landed nearby as they passed by Gwen and Trent, who were laughing together as Geoff came along.

Twilight smiled as she saw her friends and Ben (the latter seemed to be holding Scott and Alejandro down on his hooves), as Josh was smiling in interest and Blaineley was instantly jumping up and down in excitement.

Dear mom and dad, I'm doing fine
You guys are on my mind
You asked me what I wanted to be
And now I think the answer is plain to see
I want to be famous

Rainbow Dash was seen smiling as she, along with a floating Bridgette, was seen charging over towards Heather, who seemed to be hiding something in her bag, causing her to sneer at the two. Leshawna could only roll her eyes as Sam and Dakota were seen laughing with each other.

I'm really having lots of fun;
But we are really on the run;
I have to be brave on the soul,
But I only have one important goal,
I want to be famous!

We then see Pinkie Pie blowing up some balloons as Harold was watching, Duncan and Courtney could only smirk as they were holding some water balloons... but then the two yelped as Izzy suddenly swung down, holding some dynamite, throwing it at the couple, whose eyes widened hard.

We then see Rarity posing seductively as Katie and Sadie were seen squealing, Katie pulling a surprised Noah over from his comfort zone as she hugged him tight. Noah couldn't help but smile a little bit, as he clung back onto Katie, but Ezekiel were seen laughing a bit as Eva was strapped to a chair, trying to squirm her way out of a make-up session with Rarity.

I have to be in this game,
In order to claim some fame,
Everything hangs in the balance of life,
As we take everything in strife,
I want to be famous!

We later see Applejack kicking some apples off the tree as Sierra was busy helping out on the farm, Brick ordering Lightning, Staci, Cameron, and Jo to run laps around the area, though Jo and Lightning were a little less than pleased to run around.

We then see Fluttershy and Dawn feeding an apple to Angel as he gobbled it down. DJ and B were seen gathering a few bears around the area as Sasquatch as Owen and Anne Maria were seen being carried around by a pack of zebras, both of them yelping as they were trying to call for help.

I want to live close to the sun
Well, pack your bags cause I've already won.
Everything to prove nothing in my way
I'll get there one day

Cause I want to be famous

We then see Twilight and Lindsay both wearing their crowns as they were smiling, Tyler coming near Lindsay as Mike, Zoey, and Justin (the latter of which seemed beat up) held the Cutie Mark Crusaders and Nyx as the entire Total Drama contestants, the Mane Six, Discord, and Ben Mare posed for a quick picture as Spike and Phobos took the picture.

Spike then rolled the paper as he used his dragon magic to blow it over to Celestia.

Nanana'nanaana nana nana
I want to be, I want to be; I want to be famous

Inside the throne room of Castle Canterlot, as Celestia and Luna waited, they noticed the letter coming in as it formed, and they were about to look inside...

I want to be, I want to be, I want to be famous

...when Chris and Chef popped in and took the letter, Chef accidentally ripping up part of the letter as Chris blinked in embarrassment. Celestia and Luna could only groan as the camera popped over to seeing the entire gang in their normal human forms gathering together and whistling the last bit of the song, unknowing that in the background was a mysterious figure with a glowing red eye peering in from the window, the screen fading to back, as the last eerie notes from the song 'Chim Chim Cheree- East Winds' played.

Episode Twenty: Mystic Isn't Your Color

It was another morning in Equestria. The season is almost close with six players left. Today is a special mission for them as well as their friends. If it works, the heroes will be one step closer to stopping Tuerto.

At the hotel, Katie and Bridgette is having breakfast. The former said, "Can't believe it. I didn't think we would make it this far."

"Me either, dude." Bridgette remarks with a chuckle. Then she looks concerned. "Are you worried that Noah's gone?"

"Nah. I know he would want me to move on, despite being voted off. I will win this game...and get back at Scott for his wickedness."

"There you go!"

------------

Bridgette: I am proud of Katie. She is moving up since Season 1. I know she will do well. Noah will be rooting for her.

------------

Katie: So far, I've proven that I can be independent without Sadie around. And if I can prove that I don't need Noah, no offense for him, then I can do it.

-------------------------

Back at the library, Twilight and her friends get ready. They fear that they will be in trouble should any one of them get caught trying to make off with the next sword needed.

"I hope our Mystic Pony friends forgive us for what we must do." Fluttershy said worried.

"I know they would." Applejack said with a nod. She looks around. "Dang, 'dis place is quiet wit'out 'de Pegasus team around."

"I know. It's now just me, Ben, Nyx and the Dragons now." Twilight said as she packs up her things. A knock came at the door. "Come in!"

Dawn came into the library, followed by Ezekiel. The girl spoke up, "Are you all ready?"

"Sure am. I hope Chris and the princesses have a plan."

"I'm sure that they do, eh." Ezekiel said with a smile. "We may not like Chris but we’re understanding him better."

Twilight sighs, looking in a mirror, mumbling, "I can only hope that we're doing the right thing in stealing the sword from under the Jade Emperor's nose."

-------------

Ezekiel: Boy, with the idea of having another challenge in the Mystic Realm, we can hope it's enough to get the sword and scram.

------------

Dawn: (pause) I sense something bad is going to happen. I hope we aren't making a big mistake here.

---------------

Later, Ben Mare, the Mane Six and Final Six (ha, get it?) were near the spot where Celestia and Luna have said to meet them. Twilight nodded as she looked over towards her friends. "Okay, here's what we have to do. We go in, do the challenge while Chris steals the Majestic Sword of Balance then we go out. We return BOTH swords to the Jade Emperor when we're done."

"Right," The Final Six (along with another person standing nearby) nodded.

"Great. Wouldn't..." Twilight paused as she just NOW noticed there was another person standing next to Lindsay.

The person she happened to be looking at was a black haired girl in a pink princess outfit, dressed similarly to Snow White. Twilight blinked as she asked, "Uh, I'm sorry, who are you?"

"Why, no need to fret, my little talking pony. I bear you no harm." The black haired girl smiled as she patted Twilight on the head.

Twilight blinked... then she started to purr a bit as she nuzzled near the girl. "That... feels... so nice..."

"Lindsay?" Dawn, Bridgette and Katie then turned to Lindsay, who just gave a little smile.

"Okay, okay, I summoned Snow White here... but I couldn't help it. The minute I saw her picture, I knew I wanted her autograph!" Lindsay jumped in excitement.

"I appreciate the gesture, Lindsay, but as I've mentioned, Snow White is a different princess. I'm actually Ella." The girl smiled as she started to pop her leg up in fashion.

"Well, she does seem nice." Rarity said, still in her male voice.

"My, what a nice stallion you are." Ella smiled, patting Rarity on the head. Rarity was annoyed.

"I'm a girl. Celestia CHANGED me into a boy because I mocked her right in front of her." Rarity said, annoyed.

"I must admit, I only started watching Total Drama when World Tour came on, but I knew I wanted to get on this show." Ella smiled. "And to imagine, you all sing! This is my dream come true!"

"You like singing?" Scott gagged a bit.

"Of course; the only reason I watched World Tour was the songs." Ella smiled. "I was usually bored with the whole strategy and game talk, so I just skip to the songs. I even sang along to all of them."

"The Stuck to the Pole song," Bridgette asked in horror.

"Yep," Ella nodded.

"We Built Gwen's Face?" Katie asked.

"Yep."

"Boyfriend Kisser," Dawn asked.

"Yep."

"You even sang along to 'This is How We Will End It?'" Ezekiel asked.

"Even that," Ella smiled. "I loved ALL the songs that were in World Tour, and from what I've looked at from the footage of the season, I sang along to the songs you did too..."

"Even the ones where we went to the Mystic..." Bridgette started... then paused as she turned to Lindsay, smiling evilly. "Oh, Lindsay, I love your thinking."

"Well, I figured, she's a good singer, so why not?" Lindsay smiled. "Plus, her singing summons nearby birds and animals. Sing something."

"Thank you, I think I will." Ella smiled as she sung a long note... and boom, just like that, a few non-sentient deer and birds came over to Ella as she patted them all, even the ponies were hypnotized by Ella's beautiful voice.

"See? Told you," Lindsay smiled.

"Oh God..." Chris sighed as he, Celestia and Luna appeared. "If I knew her singing would hypnotize animals, I wouldn't have put her in the cast."

"Opinions to yourself, Chris; Remember," Celestia asked.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chris: Yeah, after seeing what power Ella has with her songs... I may have to consider a no-singing rule come Season 6...but again, we'll have to wait and see where it goes...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dawn: I think Ella's very sweet in what she does; If we ever have to work together again... I wouldn't mind having her along on our group.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

"Well, in any case, are we all set to go?" Celestia asked.

Everyone nodded as Lindsay said, "Can we appear last?"

"I don't see why not?" Celestia said as she, Luna, Chris, the Mane Six and Ben Mare disappeared.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the Mystic Realm, where Mystic Tao and Lightning Wisdom were waiting, Mystic Tao sighed as he said, "I wonder what game Chris has in mind. I hope it's less cheating and embarrassing..."

"But Mystic Tao, don't we usually THINK up the challenges for this part of the Realm?" Wisdom asked. "I was the one who thought up the Mystic Realm Xiaolin Showdown Challenge, and you offered the dragon challenge!"

"Yes, yes, but I was having trouble with a third challenge." Mystic Tao sighed. "Well, maybe once the players get here, they'll give ideas."

"I'm just having a positive day, today, though!" Wisdom smiled as he looked around at the sky as Celestia and Luna appeared with Chris, Ben and the Mane Six, then both teleported off. "I don't see how anything can go wrong on a day like this!"

All of a sudden, Wisdom and Mystic Tao heard the sounds of seven people imitating drum rolls as Celestia and Luna came back with Lindsay, Dawn, Bridgette, Scott, Katie, Ezekiel and Ella as Ezekiel was wearing a marching band hat and twirling a baton as he lead the five girls, along with Scott who was banging on a real drum, towards the two Mystic Ponies.

"Ah..." Mystic Tao smiled.

"OH s***," Wisdom screamed, "NO, NOT ANOTHER ONE, PLEASE! I BARELY LIVED THROUGH THE LAST ONE!"

It was too late as Ezekiel threw the baton, which landed on Wisdom's head, making him dizzy as the five girls started holding imaginary horns and tooting them as they started marching around Wisdom, who was now starting to cry, regretting that he ever wanted to be associated with this cast.

(To the tune of 'You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown' from 'You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown')

(Lindsay, Dawn, Katie, Bridgette and Ella)

It's a good world, Mystic Realm,

It's the kind of a break that we need,

There are fighters, biters,

And a sense of honor that

Are very rare indeed!

Scott and Ezekiel then did a little 'Oh, Yeah!' on a couple beats.

It's a good world, Mystic Realm,

And we have a new challenge right here,

We went to this world thrice,

It must be really nice,

It's a world we hold dear!

Wisdom groaned as he got up as Lindsay said, "This is a world."

This is a world full of warriors

And every little tyke,

We will march right down to our path on the road,

The girls, led by Scott and Ezekiel, literally knocked Lightning Wisdom down as they started marching up the road a bit.

(Ella)

Or ride along on a smaller bike

Wisdom got up dizzily as he tried to turn around, but yelps to see the marching Total Drama people turning around, ready to knock him down again.

(Lindsay, Dawn, Katie, Bridgette and Ella)

There's bravery and Chinese food,

It's what the Mystics eat,

You can walk around this old world,

The five girls, along with Scott and Ezekiel knocked Wisdom down again as they marched backwards. As Wisdom got up, he turned to see Ella helping him up as she started to sing.

(Ella)

And they also talk about their little heroic feat.

(Lindsay, Dawn, Katie, Bridgette and Ella)

Oh, it's a good world, Mystic Realm!

By now, a crowd of Mystic Ponies have gathered around as they were now enjoying the song, much to Lightning Wisdom's misery. As the girls started to go through the 'las' a little bit, Chris whispered to Celestia and Luna, "Is there any possible way to get that sword... today?"

Luna sighed as she whispered. "I'm afraid it's not easy. I don't want to break Tao's heart. He trusted us of not doing something stupid. And trust me... taking the sword at once isn't a good idea."

"Then we better make this quick..." Celestia whispered.

Ezekiel and Scott then pointed as they said, "Oh yeah!" on the beats. Lindsay, Bridgette, Katie and Dawn then started carrying the poor Lightning Wisdom as he was now forced, once again, to join in the song.

It's a good world, Mystic Realm,

Dragons, weapons and now something new,

What a day, yes it is,

We can really do all this,

All the time, all the day, not a clue,

What is all new, Mystic Realm?

What is all new?

As soon as the song ended, everyone applauded as Mystic Tao smiled. "What an enjoyable song."

Lightning Wisdom could only glare at the Final Six, with Ella, as he said, "You just LOVE to torment my life, don't you?"

-------------------------------------------------------------

Lindsay: (smiles) Man, do we just LOVE to make our entrances grand!

------------------------------------------------------------------

Bridgette: Come on, you didn't expect us to NOT come in with a song, did you?

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Scott: Even though they don't like me and I don't like them, at least we can find even ground to do the musical numbers. It's just great.

----------------------------------------------------------------

As soon as the crowd started to disperse, one pony was still standing amongst the crowd, applauding a bit. He was a black Alicorn in a blue cape, a blue royal outfit, a yellow fez and yellow hooves. Celestia then did a double take as she seemed to recognize the Alicorn, "Azure Phoenix?"

"Bravo, bravo." Azure smiled a bit... then did a little straightening up. "I mean, pretty good, but let's be serious now."

Azure then notices Celestia and smiles a bit. "Well, well, Celestia, old friend. It's been ages."

Celestia blush a bit as she said, "Likewise, Azure."

"What are you doing here, Azure? Aren't you on your way to the 'Battle of the Clans'?" Mystic Tao asked.

"Battle of the Clans," Ezekiel asked. "What's that?"

Tao turned and opened his mouth, before Azure covered Tao's mouth.,"Nothing that would concern you, unfortunately. Anyway, you wouldn't be interested; it's for Mystic Ponies only."

Ella sighed as she said, "Oh gee, and here I was hoping that..."

All of a sudden, music started up as Ella started to sing, to the quick tune of 'America the Beautiful'.

(Ella)

Mystic Ponies are honorable

In every sense of word

"What is she doing?" Azure said, as if very hypnotized by the sounds of Ella's beautiful singing.

"...You can't be serious." Wisdom groaned as he watched Tao, Celestia, Luna and basically all the ponies falling under the spell of Ella's beautiful singing.

Love is friendship, oh beauty says,

Just let your voice be heard!

Please tell us about this battle,

'cause you all have warm hearts.

Please give us all what we should know,

It's not like they're black arts!

As soon as Ella was done singing, Azure blinked as the other ponies snapped out of it, Celestia turning to Ella in shock as Azure blinked. "Uh, what was I doing?"

"Oh, you decided to tell us about the Battle of the Clans, after you decided we were so trustworthy." Ella smiled.

Celestia paused.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Celestia: I was thinking about doing a flirting moment with Azure... but actually, Ella's singing works just fine...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scott: Her songs... hypnotize animals? I guess they do have that attractive nature... (Pause) This is just crazy to believe!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Odd, but if you say so..." Azure Phoenix said before coughing. "You see, the Battle of the Clans means a duel between two opponents from different clans. First person to survive the battle wins."

"You mean the Xiaolin Showdown thing?" Celestia groaned. "We already had something like that."

"What? No, no! This is entirely new!" Azure Phoenix said.

"Yeah... no," Everyone shook their heads. "No. We already had a battle showdown."

"Wait, really?" Azure Phoenix said. "Well, hmmm... s***."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lindsay: As much as the Mystic Ponies are nice to see... is fighting REALLY their only activity? They need to be a little more creative...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bridgette: Come on, Mystic Realm, you can be MORE creative than THAT! 'Let's rehash the fighting challenge', that's what you thought? Come on!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Azure paused. "Tell you what, why don't we come over to my house and we'll talk about other activities that the Battle of the Clans has..."

"All right, sounds good." Celestia said as everyone nodded.

"You guys go ahead." Chris said as everyone was taking their leave. "This is my... obligatory day off anyway, so if you don't mind, I'd like to take a walk around the Mystic Realm."

"Oh?" Azure asked. "May I suggest the Mystic Museum? There are many artifacts that lie here, any weapons used by the Jade Emperor... but be careful, it's like a maze."

"I think I will check that out, thank you." Chris smiled as he started to go along his way.

Wisdom frowned suspiciously as he started using his telepathy, "Seeker!"

"Huh, what," Seeker's voice was heard in confusion.

"Chris is heading towards the Mystic Museum. I need you to keep an eye on him! I have a feeling something is up!" Wisdom told Seeker through telepathy.

"Okay, got it!" Seeker's voice said.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Katie: Well, it wasn't too bad, so we all arrived at Azure's house, and Chris should be looking for the other sword right now...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A little later, at Azure's house, we see the Final Six, Celestia, Luna, Ben, the Mane Six, Tao, Wisdom, Ella and Azure sitting down as Azure was pausing to think.

"Got any ideas?" Tao asked.

"Nothing that's springing to mind..." Azure said as Lindsay was looking around, as she noticed a sword.

"Oooo... pretty..." Lindsay said as she was getting near the sword.

"NO!" Azure frowned as he stopped Lindsay with his magic. "Sit!"

Lindsay sat down as Dawn asked, "She doesn't know any better."

"Whether she does or not, doesn't matter. Removing a Mystic Weapon by anybody except for a Mystic Pony is illegal!" Azure frowned.

"Ever since the whole 'Lightning stole the Nose of Thunder' incident, we didn't want to be careful." Wisdom explained.

"Oh, right, that incident..." Katie sighed.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dawn: Should we tell the Mystic Ponies that we FOUND an old weapon of theirs thought to be lost long ago? (Pause) Well... not quite yet... first, we wait.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Now... what to do, what to do..." Azure took a moment to think. "New activity, new activity..."

"Well, what usually happens BEFORE the Battle of the Clans?" Ella asked.

"Well, not much... we do have something called 'Running of the Bulls', but that's more of a 'passing activity' while the stage is being set for the Battle itself..." Azure said.

"Ah, that is it!" Tao smiled. "Why not have the Total Drama Final Six compete in the Running of the Bulls."

"Yeah, why not," Twilight smiled.

"That's original, it's new, and it's not a rehash of a previous challenge in this current game." Ben Mare said.

"Running of the Bulls?" Scott frowned.

"Isn't that where people are being chased by bulls and are worried about being hit by the horns?"

"Yes, of course." Tao smiled.

"Usually, you have to run five miles from a starting position all the way to the arena. The one with the less injuries will usually get awarded with a cookie or something; we work out the details later on." Azure said.

"In that case, the one who doesn't get hurt TOO bad by the bulls will win invincibility this round!" Celestia smiled.

"That works!" Azure smiled. "Then it's settled, we better come along over to the bull pens. I'll show you where our local bulls are."

Everyone smiled and nodded as they started to go off. Ella was about to go off, but then noticed something towards where Azure was sitting. Underneath the pillow that Azure was sitting on, she noticed some sort of paper. Ella turned around, "Excuse me, Mr. Phoenix, is this your paper under your pillow?"

Unfortunately, Azure was a little too far away for him to hear Ella as he was heard talking to the others, "Say, Ben, have I ever told you how Celestia and I met?"

Ella sighed as she looked over towards the pillow.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ella: ...Wait, am I allowed to use this, even though I'm not competing and I'm just a guest star? Well, I don't know what the rules are, but I'm doing it anyway. Being a kind-hearted person, I thought it would only be right that I pick up Mr. Phoenix's paper and return it to him.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ella then paused as she looked towards the pillow and lifted the paper, but it felt attached to something. "It's stuck."

Ella grunted and pulled... then a ripping sound was heard as she had got the paper out from under the pillow.

"Got it," Ella sighed... as she looked at it. "What is this, anyway?"

Ella then looked at the sofa tag as she started to read it. "'Warning: Do not remove tag under penalty of law. Penal Code 7756, so and so..."

Ella's face drained of color as she was now shaking with fear. "It's... it's against the law to remove..."

Ella was shaking nervously.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ella: (shaking with fear) Oh my goodness, I just remembered what Azure Phoenix said... and he said 'Never to remove anything from the Mystic Realm unless touched by a Mystic Pony'... and I did the unthinkable! I removed a tag from a pillow! (Takes a deep breath) Okay, okay, keep cool... don't snap under pressure. So I tore a tag off... what harm could it do? They can't arrest me just for tearing off a tag... can they?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Ella, come on!" Bridgette called.

"Uh, coming," Ella said as she started to put on a smile, as she started to skip, trying to act like nothing's wrong.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, with Chris, he smiled as he entered the museum. He gasped as he looked around the areas. "This place... is amazing."

"It certainly is." a familiar voice said right next to him.

Chris looked at the person next to him, but didn't react at first... but then jumped as he did a double take. Topher was walking around the museum, looking up at the ceiling as he said, "You know, that chandelier looks really good... would be a nice fit in my house..."

"Say..." Chris paused as he seemed to recognize Topher. "Aren't you..."

Topher paused as he turned and gasped. "Chris? MY IDOL! YOU ACTUALLY CAME! WHAT DO YOU DO? ARE YOU STILL CONSIDERING ME AS CO-HOST? Oh, who am I asking, you're Chris McClean!"

"Hold up, deep breaths." Chris groaned as he stopped Topher before he could go all fan-boy on him.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chris: What I don't need, a fan boy following me around... (Pause) Hmmm... actually, maybe he could be of use to me...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

"What are you even doing here, anyway?" Chris frowned, talking to Topher. Last he recalled seeing Topher, he was sent back to the real world.

"Well, after Beardo's visit to the Pony world, Chef... well, he accidentally left the portal open when that purple haired ego kid got sent through, so me and the others decided that rather than sit around in a boring warehouse, waiting for something to happen, we would take a look around Equestria so we know what the details are and to know where to go." Topher said. "So, yesterday, we went exploring Ponyville, and the other day, we went exploring in some aspects of the Everfree Forest... we met that zebra there, Zecora, very nice zebra."

"Wait... you teenagers ACTUALLY went into Ponyville yesterday, and we didn't get notified on that?" Chris frowned as he suddenly noticed that Jasmine and another teenager, a brown haired boy with a white shirt, orange vest, jeans and a green hat were seen talking to each other as they were looking around.

"Well, yeah. What did you think we did during those days? Sit around in the real world, waiting for something to happen?" Topher asked. "We wanted to explore, Chris. Today, we just decided to explore the Mystic Realm. So many possibilities with this world, though most of it is related to fighting for some reason..."

"Don't remind me..." Chris paused. "Say kid, is it all right if I ask for your help?"

"Name it, Chris!" Topher smiled.

"I'm looking for a sword. Not just ANY sword but..." Chris started.

"Looking for swords, huh? Leave that to me! I've just been to the sword room, so it'll be a snap!" Topher smiled as he started to walk off. "Follow me, please."

As Chris followed Topher, little did he know was that a familiar small dragon was seen following them. Seeker frowned as he used telepathy. "Wisdom, I got sight of Chris. Seems your suspicions are right. I'm going to keep following for a while... but I have his conversations on telepathy dial."

"Right." Wisdom's voice was heard.

As Seeker flew off, we later see the group of eight more teenagers joining Jasmine and the boy. Jasmine looked around at the group as she looked at a list she wrote. "Okay, okay, let's start off our role call. Amy?"

"Present." Amy smiled as Sammy groaned.

"Beardo," Jasmine read.

Beardo looked up as he started barking like a dog.

"Okay, you're here." Jasmine nodded. "Okay, okay, Dave."

"Right here." a young black haired, brown skinned boy with a blue shirt and brown pants nodded.

"Ella..." Jasmine read.

"Not here, thank goodness fer that." a blonde haired fat girl in pink frowned.

"Quiet, Sugar. It's not your turn." Jasmine said. "Anyway, Jasmine, that's me, is here. Okay, Leonard?"

"Three Spell, three spell!" A young boy in a green wizard's suit and a fake beard said as he waved a stick around.

Dave groaned as he said, "I hope I don't get stuck on his team in my season..."

"Okay..." Jasmine looked over. "Max."

"I'm here, and ready to-" Max started.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're evil, we get it." Jasmine rolled her eyes, as did everyone. Pretty much, everybody knew about Max from the start (how could they not? The minute he walked into the room, he just said he was 'evil'... and was awful at it.), "Heard it all; Anyway, Rodney, you here?"

"Yes, ma'am," An orange haired boy in a white shirt and blue overalls gave a smile, as if lovesick.

Jasmine paused, wondering if there was something wrong with Rodney, as she saw him give that lovesick smile to Ella the other day. Jasmine shrugged it off as she moved on with the list, "Samey?"

Sammy, hearing the fake name, just groaned. Of course, Amy just had to beat her to this one. "Here..."

"Scarlett?" Jasmine asked.

"All present and accounted for." Scarlett, now back to normal, wearing her glasses and hair ribbon again, had said.

Jasmine nodded. "Shawn?"

"Uh, r-right next to you," Shawn, the orange vested boy, shook nervously.

"Of course, Shawn," Jasmine said, looking down at the shaking, paranoid boy, "Sky?"

"Right here," A black haired Asian girl in a white shirt, purple belt and black pants nodded.

"Sugar," Jasmine started.

"Right here, puddin'," Sugar laughed.

"Topher?"

Silence.

"Topher?"

Silence again.

Jasmine sighed. "Great, we can't keep our eyes off him for more than three seconds, he ran off exploring on his own AGAIN!"

"What do we do?" Dave asked.

"Let's just continue this tour of the museum for now, maybe we'll find Topher on our way." Jasmine sighed.

Everyone nodded as they decided to follow Jasmine.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"And that's the story of how me and Celestia met." Azure Phoenix smiled as he, Celestia, Luna, Ben, the Mane Six, Wisdom, Tao, Lindsay, Bridgette, Ezekiel, Katie, Dawn, Scott and Ella (the latter seemingly behind Lindsay as if afraid to make eye contact with the Mystic Ponies) walked along the road.

"I hope somebody kept that story in the episode." Ben said. "That sounded pretty cool."

"Well, in case it didn't, there's always the Aftermath Show." Dawn said.

"What?" Azure blinked... before arriving at their destination. "Oh, look, we're here!"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ezekiel: This looks like something... that can be very interesting to watch... from somebody's perspective...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The group arrives at the bull pens where Azure began to speak, "And now, it's time for the Running of the Bulls."

"Ooh! Ooh! I know what we're doing!" Lindsay exclaimed, waving her hand in the air. "We gotta be ahead of the bulls, right?"

"Correct, but also, anyone who is stampeded by the bulls is eliminated." Azure explains to the players calmly. "Last player standing wins invincibility."

"Great, so we get knocked down by bulls." Scott remarked with a shrug, "Sounds reasonable."

"You are allowed shortcuts but be careful, not all routes are good." Azure warned the players that, although there were shortcuts in the area, not all of them could be usable.

-------------

Bridgette: While we're getting ready for this, Ella appears to be freaked out.

-------------

Bridgette noticed a nervous look on Ella's face. She asked her in concern, "Ella? What's wrong?"

"Oh, nothing, nothing." Ella said nervously to Bridgette. "It's nothing to worry about..."

----------------

Ella: It IS something to worry about. I am going to be in trouble with the Mystic Ponies and law! Oh, dear. Why did I ever take that tag off?!

----------------------

Pinkie: Ever notice we have been doing this since January? And our movie Rainbow Rocks is out? And what's with the Hate Plague? Why am I spoiling things???

-----------------

"Now all non-players please leave the road at once." Azure said to those not playing this challenge.

Everyone who wasn't playing the bull running challenge left the road almost immediately.

"This is going to get brutal." Dawn said seriously as she stood in the road, ready for the Running.

"Remember, it's not the stampeding that hurts, it's the horns!" Ezekiel exclaimed to the others in concern. "And I mean it, eh!"

"Yeah, well, you all just stay out of my way!" Scott exclaimed cruelly to the players.

"Oh, we will." Katie said sternly to her enemy.

"Open the doors!" Azure called out to the Mystic Ponies. They didn't waste time as they opened the doors.

Behind the gates of the bullpen are a couple of mad bulls, snorting and ready for anything. The players decided to quickly run off to give themselves a head start. The Running of the Bulls has indeed begun!

As the non-players watched on, Ella nervously spoke to Luna, "Excuse me, Princess?"

"Yes, Ella, what is it?" Luna asked Ella, keeping her eye on the event.

"Suppose this friend of mine accidentally committed some sort of...bad thing in this place? Now, she...err, my friend didn't mean to do it. Would this friend get into trouble if he or she were to confess to the crime or be forgiven by apologizing?" Ella asked Luna, trying her best to make it look like this was another person committing the crime, but not her.

Luna blinked a bit, replying, "That I do not know, Ella. That's for the Mystic Ponies to decide. If it's something valuable, then it may be a serious matter. If not, there's no reason for your friend to worry. Why do you ask?"

"Nothing," Ella said meekly, looking away. She's worried that Luna was catching on that she did something terrible.

"Hmmm..." Luna said, giving a concerned look.

--------------

Chris was already going through a part of the museum with Topher eagerly speaking, "Listen, Chris, I got some neat ideas for next season."

"Actually, Topher, we got some ideas already and we may called it Season 5.2." Chris explained to Topher while rolling his eyes. "Don't ask me why. The producers are probably not satisfied over the results of All-Stars."

"Okay, no prob! So, uh...what are you plans for opening things up?" Topher asked Chris anxiously. "I am thinking of a parachute where players get some or not."

"Look, instead of talking about challenges, you look around for the sword with me." Chris said impatiently to Topher. "We could've passed it by and not notice."

"Oh, well, you could use one of those radio guides." Topher explained, making Chris blink a bit. "I mean, you listen to a handheld radio with headphones and it's like listening to a guide without one around. They got some at the entrance."

"Then why the heck didn't you say so before?" Chris asked Topher impatiently. They could've avoided this whole runaround in the first place!

"You didn't ask!" Topher exclaimed, making Chris groaned a bit.

"Fine, let's get this radio guide." Chris groaned as he and Topher headed off.

Seeker, unknown to the two still, was still hiding, keeping an eye on them. He didn't know what Chris was up to, but it's obviously not good.

As the little Dragon followed, he failed to see the rest of the cast of Season 6/5.2 coming in, Jasmine spoke up while listening to the radio guide, "All right, these paintings were made in the first regime of the Jade Emperor."

"Excuse me, Jasmine?" Dave asked, waving a hand up. "Is there any hand sanitizers? I think I just touch something disgusting."

Jasmine rolled her eyes, commenting, "We will stop by the restrooms when we find them if you're so darn picky, mate."

"You know, she's big and got brains." Rodney said to Shawn with a grin.

"Brains," Shawn yelped as he covered his head. "No zombies! Keep them away!"

"Ugh, what's with him?" Scarlett asked Max, who paid no attention to her.

"Never you mind, sidekick! We must be prepared for the plans for the next season...when I think of any! BWA HA HA HA HA," Max exclaimed, laughing like a mad villain much to Scarlett's annoyance, especially when she twitched by the "sidekick" part.

----------------------------

Scarlett: (pissed) Grrr! I swear, if he keeps calling me sidekick way too many times, I'm going to lose it!

--------------------------

Beardo: (pauses then makes some rapping noises)

--------------------------

"I will be thrilled if there's a book of spells in this place." Leonard said with a grin. "They can be pretty useful."

"Yeah, sure," Dave remarked dryly to Leonard.

--------------------------------

Dave: (frowns) pretty useless!

----------------------------

"Ha; Once the game has come, Ah will trample all over yew losers!" Sugar exclaimed to the group with a devilish smirk.

"Yeeeah; I like the Southern accent with Applejack better." Jasmine, overhearing Sugar, remarked dryly.

---------------

Back at the Running of the Bulls, the players ran as fast as they could to dodge the bully.

"Come on! We can't let these guys bully us around!" Lindsay exclaimed to her fellow players happily.

"Ugh! Lame pun," Scott exclaimed while dodging a bull that almost got him.

The players run, run like mad, dodging the bulls. So far, it looks like to the ponies that no one is being run down.

"My, it appears these players are running for humans." Azure said in amusement to the others. "This may end up being a tie if this keeps up."

"Or maybe a six way battle." Pinkie exclaims, bouncing up and down. "Or a seven on three like the new movie Rainbow Rocks!"

The others look at Pinkie oddly, wondering what she's on about. Applejack, narrowing her eyes, ask, "What yew talking about?"

"Oops! Didn't happen in this point of time! Ignore that."

"Ignoring."

"So Princess Celestia," Ella said, getting Celestia's attention. The princess notes that she is getting nervous. "Does the Mystic Ponies really punish anyway for taking something from this place?"

"Well, that depends on the item at hand. If it's powerful and vulnerable, then yes. If it's less, then there's no reason to worry...unless it's a very serious law." Celestia explains to Ella clearly. She gave a look of curiosity to her. "Why you ask?"

"Nothing, nothing! Just curious."

"Ella, if there's anything you wish to tell me or anypony else, we are right here."

Ella begins to look a bit nervous. She wants to trust Celestia...but who's the say that she won't get angry and tell Azure Phoenix as to what's going on?

---------------

Celestia: (concerned) Ella appears to be acting...a bit odd. I may have to keep an eye on her just in case.

-------------------

Pinkie: I was referring to our rock battle between us and the Dazzlings in Rainbow Rocks. Ironically, that battle happens a long time in the future especially since Tirek didn't show up yet in this point of time and Twilight didn't get a new castle! (Pause) Hmmm. I guess this is why I don't talk about future stories much.

---------------------

Back at the museum, Chris was able to get one of his radio guides, putting the headphones into his ears.

"Okay, now this should get me there faster." Chris hums a bit, turning the radio guide. He listens in, saying, "Okay...now how to get this to work."

"Just press a button!" Topher exclaims helpful as he shows a remote that works with the radio guide. "Just press one and it should take you to the artifacts."

Chris press a button for the weapons gallery. He smiles while the host and his fan heads down an aisle. Seeker meanwhile kept on spying, pondering why Chris wanted a radio guide. Perhaps it's to find what he's looking for.

"Well, those two will get up pretty dang early to fool me." Seeker remarks as he follows the two in secret.

In a room of the museum which talks about legend, Jasmine kept on talking...though Sky paused a bit, losing interest. She speaks to Dave, "So Dave...is it true that you're a germ freak?"

"Are you kidding? I want to stay clean no matter what!" Dave complains to Sky in concern. "If I get one germ, I would die!"

"Oh, you're being paranoid. No worries, I betcha when we get into the game, I can help you...depending if we're on the same team or not."

"I don't know. I haven't got luck with ladies either. If one breaks my heart, I would lose it."

Sky just giggles, patting Dave on the back to assure him. The boy felt a bit comfortable. Whenever he is touched, Dave normally freaks out. This time, he felt better, maybe because of Sky.

"Relax. You will do fine, in both the game and ladies." Sky said to Dave, making him blush a bit.

--------------

Dave: That Sky girl is a nice one. (Smiles) I hope we end up on the same team together. Hmmm, I wonder if she wishes to be more than friends or not.

-------------

Sky: For anyone who wonders, I got a boyfriend...who tends to be a bit of a jerk. I am planning on dumping him as soon as possible. I just hope nothing happens that causes Dave to be mad at me.

-----------------------

Back at the Running of the Bulls, the audience cheers on wildly for the players. So far, they appear to still be standing. One must wonder how long it would take before one would fell.

Ella on the other hand isn't concerned about that. She is scared of the fact that she herself removed a tag of all things! What if someone notices it missing and find the tag on her? Ella could be in big trouble!

"Oh, they wouldn't really punish me...would they?" Ella mumbles a bit to herself in worry.

"Come on! Someone fall already!" Rainbow exclaims impatiently. So far, not one player has fallen. This is getting boring!

With the bulls, Scott was running as he looked in the corner of his eye. Dawn didn't seem too far from the bulls' wrath. Scott then whispered in his ear, "Say, you guys think you can rig this a bit without making it look like it's me doing it?"

"Already on it," Shadow Dragon's voice whispered through the earpiece.

As everyone kept running, a mini black hand came out of nowhere and slapped a bull on its butt. The bull's eyes widened as he started charging faster.

Dawn heard a bellow from behind her, but didn't have time to run fast or have her psychic mind process what to do as she was already trampled down.

"Ooo, and Dawn is down for the count!" Azure said, shaking as Wisdom walked off. "Where are you going?"

"Getting better reception," Wisdom said as he started walking. In truth, he wanted to hear the conversation between Chris and whoever this Topher is through Seeker's link as he wanted to see what Chris was up to.

Lindsay looked around as she turned to Ella, "Hey Ella! Do you think you can sing to calm the bulls down to run a little slower?"

Ella paused nervously as she said, "Well, you did summon for help, may as well use it."

Ella then started to sing her 'la's again... but because she was so scared and nervous, and her mind was on other things, it started to go off-key as the bulls weren't hypnotized, they were now charging faster in anger.

Lindsay yelped as she was trampled.

Ella gulped as she called out, "Sorry!"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lindsay: What happened to the beautiful voice we heard from the start? That isn't the Snow White I remember!

-------------------------------------------------------

Scott: (laughs) Wow, just wow! I didn't even NEED to do anything with THAT one! That was too good!

-------------------------------------------------------

Ella sighed as she started to go off for a bit and pace. "Oh gosh, this tag thing's even affecting my singing. What do I do?"

Ella then snapped to attention as she smiled. "Hey... m-maybe I can sew the tag back on, and they'll never know I did it!"

Ella started to run off... but accidentally tripped over her own feet trying to run as she fell unconscious for a bit as she heard her own voice saying "What harm can it do? What harm can it do? What harm can it do?"

------------------------------------

DREAM SEQUENCE

Rock music started playing as there was a black and white background with some red decorated in the background as a familiar looking princess, in black and white, but her pink dress showing off in color sneaking into Azure Phoenix's house, coming near a pillow, all with a sneaky look. She paused and smirked as she lifted the pillow, revealing a small tag saying 'Do not remove'. Ella smiled evilly as her eyes shifted as Ella's singing was heard.

Ella: It starts with just a little thing,
No one would miss at all.
What possible, perceivable harm can it do
To break just a little law?

Ella then tore the tag off as she made a silly face, the background disappearing as a police spotlight shined on her.

What harm can it do?
What harm can it do?
What harm can it do?

Ella gasped as she started to run, tag in hand as the spotlight followed her alongside a brick wall.

Meanwhile, inside Twilight Sparkle's library, Nyx was seen sleeping as she peer one eye opened and jumped out of bed.

Bedtime's every night at nine,
But out of bed you creep!

Nyx gave an evil smile as she started to sneak towards the door... until she looked up to see Twilight and Ben frowning.

You play real quiet until you hear,
"You're supposed to go to sleep!"

Twilight and Ben's voice was dubbed over Ella as she said that last line. Nyx smiled nervously as she ran back to bed and jumped in, falling asleep.

What harm can it do?
What harm can it do?
What harm can it do?

We then see Ella again as she looked around at a lot of rules surrounding her, some like 'Stop!', 'No talking in class', 'No Parking 10 to 6', and some other odd ones like 'Grimmore must be in character, you cannot make him out of character despite the fact that in the rules of Orange Ratchet, everybody has to act crazy at some point- VISION King' and 'No making Nyx like Richard Nixon'.

Rules are made for a reason,
Always some we hate,
But they help us all get along together,
Laws are made to keep us straight!

Ella then started to run as fireworks went off. She yelped as she saw a wanted poster of herself. She tore it off to reveal another wanted poster. This kept going for a while as she kept ripping off wanted posters of herself only to find another one standing right there.

In another area, we see Jade playing with a truck as suddenly, Ella took the truck right out of her hooves with an evil expression.

You borrow something from a friend,
A doll or maybe a truck,
They saw you take it,
They want it back!

Ella then started to run off as all of a sudden, she heard police sirens coming towards her as she gasped. There Azure Phoenix, Mystic Tao and Lightning Wisdom were, all in police uniforms, frowning as they walked towards Ella.

Oh boy! No toy! Oh yuck!
What harm can it do?
What harm can it do?

"Ella, you're a wanted girl!" Azure said, putting the cuffs on her.

Ella looked at her handcuffs in worry.

END DREAM SEQUENCE

As Ella was lying on the ground, dazed a bit, nobody paid her any mind as they kept watching the Running of the Bulls...

"Well, so much for Ezekiel..." Pinkie said wincing a bit as she saw Ezekiel being trampled.

"Well, Katie, Bridgette and Scott are left now..." Twilight said. "So far, Scott seems to be playing fair."

At the bulls, Katie and Bridgette were seen running together as Bridgette whispered, "We have to make sure Scott doesn't win this one!"

Katie nods.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Katie: We're being focused on Scott right now, I don't know WHAT his plans are, but whatever they are, it won't work, whatever they are!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, back at the museum, Jasmine was leading the group towards an area with a large hole as Scarlett asked, "Why is there a large hole just in the middle of the museum?"

"Rumor has it the museum was attacked at one point. This large crater served as a new exhibit." Jasmine said. "They say if you lean in close, you might hear something, but then again, maybe not..."

All of a sudden, Jasmine yelped as she heard a scream from below. Jasmine groaned. "Okay, who fell in?"

Everyone turned towards the hole as they looked down and saw Max inside. Max then defended himself as he said, "You said 'if you lean in close'! And there's nothing in that hole! Hmph!"

Everyone just rolled his eyes as Scarlett said in a deadpan voice, "I say we leave him in there."

"I have to agree, but we do need him... we need to stick together after all." Jasmine sighed.

"But how do we get him out?" Sammy asked as everyone looked down.

Everyone then heard gnawing sounds. They all turned to see Sugar chewing up what seemed to be a huge chain. Sugar frowned as she spat the chain out. "Looks like Ah can't chew through chains!"

Dave gave a little face in disgust... then paused as he started to think up an idea... he then gave a smirk...

-------------------------------------------------------

Dave: And now watch, my master plan, in action!

------------------------------------------------------

A few moments later, Dave was near the front as he lowered the chain down. Everyone was lined up towards the chain as Sugar was whistling a bit. "Okay, Max, pull the chain, and we'll pull you up!"

"Hey, I give the orders here!" Max yell from up above. "And I order you to do what you just said!"

Amy and Sammy, who were near the edge, frowned a bit as Amy said, "Something strange tells me I was better off being run over by those girls..."

"What makes you say that?" Sammy asked.

From below the hole, Max pulled the chain... a little too hard as Dave yelped, falling down, causing everyone to trip and gets dragged down the hole.

"That." Amy frowned as she was dragged with Sammy down the hole. Shawn yelped as he let go of the chain and jumped out of the way.

From down below, Max yelped as Dave landed on him, followed by Jasmine, Leonard, Sugar, Sky, Scarlett, Amy, Beardo, Sammy and Rodney.

Rodney then got up a bit as he latched onto Sammy's hand. Sammy sighed as she shook herself. All of a sudden, Sammy noticed Rodney giving a love look to her, but Sammy just blinked.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Rodney: Wow... I never knew Samey was so pretty at the moonlight... (pause) But now how am I going to explain to Jasmine about falling for someone else?

---------------------------------------------------------

Sammy: That look that country boy gave me looked like a look of love... but there's no way he actually LIKES me... (Pause) Does he? (Pause) Oh, I hope he does...

--------------------------------------------------------

Dave frowned as he looked around, "Oh, great! Now we're ALL stuck down here!"

"Uh, not ALL of us mate." Jasmine said as she pointed up towards the opening of the hole.

Everyone looked up to see Shawn, shaking nervously. "Uh, wait for me!"

Shawn was about to climb down the hole, as Dave got up and shook his head, "No, no, Shawn, Shawn! Stay up there!"

"B-but what about the-" Shawn began.

"You can help us if you stay up there!" Jasmine called.

Shawn paused as he looked down towards the people in the hole.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Shawn: They say in a zombie outbreak, you only have to fend for yourself... but if there are still survivors, be wary, yet try to be helpful.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Shawn climbed back up as he looked down.

"Okay, Shawn, go look for something to get us out of here!" Dave called.

Shawn shook a little. "Well... o- all right. I think I may have seen something in the room next door."

Shawn then started to leave as Sky smiled. "Thank goodness ONE of us is up there."

"Yeah, I was worried we'd be stuck here forever." Dave sighed in relief.

"That Shawn may be strange, but at least he can be helpful..." Jasmine smiled a bit.

"I got something!" Shawn's voice called as everyone looked up.

Shawn came back and held up a vase. "Here we go!"

Everyone (except for Sugar and Leonard)'s eyes widened as Dave said, "Wh-what?"

"That's a pretty vase there!" Sugar smiled.

"Maybe it can be transformed into something!" Leonard smiled... as he paused. "If only I had some spell..."

"I thought it was a nice vase too." Shawn smiled.

"Uh, yes, Shawn; It's a nice vase. Really good," Jasmine smiled a bit as she paused. "But actually, we were hoping you'd get us something 'longer'."

"Longer?" Shawn paused then gave a chuckle as he put the vase to the side, "Oh, of course; How silly of me!"

Shawn then ran offscreen for a moment, before coming back to the hole, with a long novel.

Jasmine paused as Dave gave a smile of frustration. Sky calmly said, "That's a good thought, Shawn, but you can't POSSIBLY think that that's long enough!"

"You'd be surprised." Shawn said. "I read this book one time, and it was certainly the longest thing I've ever read..."

Shawn then dropped the book as Amy looked at it. "Oh yeah, I've read that book. It lags a bit in the middle..."

Dave groaned. "Oh, of all the things this museum should have, why doesn't it have any rope?"

"Well, there is this rope that's next to the hole." Shawn said, picking up some rope that was from nearby.

Dave then gave a face of frustration as he glared at Shawn.

Jasmine smiled as she said, "Good one, Shawn! Now help us all out of here!"

Shawn blinked. "ALL of you?"

"Well, yes, Shawn." Sky said, looking around at the others. "ALL of us."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sky: Honestly, I don't know why he's so paranoid or worried. Maybe it's his quirk.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Shawn paused as he started to count the people that were in the hole. Shawn nodded as his head disappeared. Everyone looked at each other in confusion, wondering what Shawn was doing. Then they started hearing snipping of scissors. Sugar smiled a bit as everyone's eyes widened. Oh no, he wasn't...

Everyone's suspicions were right as Dave's mouth dropped open, seeing eleven smaller ropes, not enough to go down the hole, were seen being lowered.

"And eleven," Shawn said, putting it down. "Okay, now you can all get out!"

"Oh, sweet," Sugar smiled.

Jasmine blinked as she shrugged. "Well, I guess he is trying..."

Dave then growled in frustration, "Oh good grief! Shawn, TIE THOSE ROPES TOGETHER! Can you tie a knot?"

Shawn looked down in worry. "Well... I cannot."

"Oh, you can knot." Sky smiled.

"No, I cannot knot." Shawn shook his head.

From down below the hole, Amy blinked as she asked, "Not knot?"

"Who's there?" Sugar smiled, turning to Amy.

Amy glared, "Sugar!"

"Sugar who?" Sugar smiled.

"No, Sugar, I-" Amy just growled.

Scarlett frowned as she called, "Shawn, you need more than two knots!"

"Not possible!" Shawn shook his head.

"Oh, so it IS possible to knot those pieces!" Max said, pointing upwards.

Shawn picked up two of the ropes as he said, "Not THESE pieces!"

"Yes, Shawn. Knot those pieces." Sammy called.

"Why not," Shawn said in confusion.

"Because it's all for naught," Leonard sighed.

Shawn groaned. "Sorry fellas, I can't tie a knot..."

Shawn then smiled. "Oh, but I know something I CAN do!"

Shawn then started collecting rope pieces as he turned around.

Dave was starting to have doubts now as Jasmine said, "Whatever Shawn has thought up, must be a clever idea..."

"I can tie a bow!" Shawn said as he showed the ropes he knotted together into a bow.

Jasmine paused as she said, "Well, at least he's trying."

Dave then screamed as he was bashing his head on the wall, "FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, SHAWN!"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jasmine: Shawn is nice, and at least he's trying to help... but I think we should give him clearer instructions on what to do next time...

--------------------------------------------------------------------

"Shawn, you may as well just call law enforcement to help us out." Jasmine explained.

"I think it may be for the best." Sky said.

"Well, all right." Shawn nodded as he pulled out a phone and started dialing. He held it to his ear. "Hello, Pony Law? My friends are stuck in a hole in the Mystic Museum, could you send someone over and help me get them out? Yes, eleven people. Thank you."

Shawn then hung up the phone. "They said they'll be there in a half hour..."

"Sheesh," Max frowned. "We want out of there now!"

"Say, can't that Ella girl summon animals through singing?" Sammy asked as she was sitting down. "Maybe she can summon a hawk or something to get us out of here..."

Dave was still recovering from his slight head banging against the wall when he heard Sammy's idea. "Wait a minute! That's it!"

Dave then looked up towards the hole as he yelled up, "Shawn, we need you to go find Ella, just in case law enforcement doesn't show up!"

Sugar frowned a bit. "Why do we need that pretty princess' help?"

"Oh, you just find her bad because she's prettier than you." Jasmine muttered as she looked up. "Yes, Shawn, go find Ella and bring her here! Have her sing and summon animals to get us all out!"

"Wait... you mean... go out in this world... b-by myself?" Shawn said, looking out, shaking.

Jasmine paused as she sighed. "Shawn, listen to me..."

She then grabbed the edge of the hole as she got out of there and sat down next to Shawn, as if trying to make him brave. "I know it's tough out there, but there are times when you need to be brave."

"I-I don't know..." Shawn said as Jasmine hugged the boy.

"It's nothing to worry about. It's just a land of ponies... what possible bad thing could happen?" Jasmine asked.

Shawn paused... as he smiled, "All right. I'll go find her out there!"

"Attaboy, Shawn!" Jasmine smiled. "Get going out there! It may be dark, it may be a strange world, but we have our full confidence in you! Be brave, Shawn, and we will wait for you right here!"

Shawn laughed. "Okay, Jasmine! I'll do it!"

As Shawn started to run off, Jasmine smiled as she called, "Get help, Shawn! We're all helpless down below, so we will await your return with Ella! I have confidence in you! We all do!"

Jasmine then jumped back down the hole as she sat down, comfortable... then she looked around at the flabbergasted faces of everyone.

"JASMINE," Sky and Dave practically yelled.

Jasmine blinked, "Uh... what?"

"I-I can't believe..." Dave said, trying to find words on what had just happened, with Sky groaning... before realizing why Jasmine couldn't just do what she did before as she looked towards Sugar.

Sky then quickly finished Dave's sentence. "...how great your speech was!"

"What?" Dave squeaked as everyone just applauded.

"I can't believe it, either!" Sugar smiled.

"Moved me to tears..." Max applauded, before shaking himself, "Er, evil tears!"

Sky then whispered to Dave, "I think she knows she can get us all out, but Sugar's too fat to lift... I think we're better off waiting."

Dave paused.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Jasmine: Yes, I realize I could have helped everyone out of the hole, but let's face it, Sugar's too fat to carry, I think it's better we wait for either the police or Ella to come over...

---------------------------------------------------------------

Back with Lightning Wisdom, he was trying to listen in to the conversation taking place between Chris and Topher.

----------------------------------------------------------

Seeker was there too as he examined everything closely, Chris and Topher arriving at the weapons room.

"Okay... uh, what sort of swords is here in this place?" Chris asked.

"Well, uh, let's see here..." Topher said as he pulled out his phone and started taking pictures of each individual sword, with him and Chris in the picture. "Sword of Squash... Sword of Salmon... Sword of Suffering... Sword of Sadness... Sword of Serebii... Sword of Succotash..."

Chris just groaned as he followed Topher, nearly getting impatient.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Lightning Wisdom frowned as he kept listening in when he heard Topher say, "...Sword of Sunlight..."

---------------------------------------------------------

Topher then stopped by a silverish sword with a golden left angelic wing and silver right demonic wing on the handle, "And the Majessssstic Sword of Balance."

"The Majestic Sword of Balance," Chris smiled in interest. "That's the one I want!"

"The Majestic Sword of Balance," Seeker said through telepathy.

----------------------------------------------------------

"MAJESTIC SWORD OF BALANCE," Lightning Wisdom's eyes widened as his ears twisted around, "Oh no!"

He started running around in a panic, and then tripped over a chair with an epic, crazy look on his face.

Mystic Tao frowned as he noticed that Wisdom knocked his chair that he summoned down. "Wisdom, do you have ANY idea how much that chair costs!"

"Later! Chris is trying to steal the Majestic Sword of Balance! I have him on telepathy the whole time, and it turns out he's stealing the sword to wake up Grimmore!" Wisdom said.

"What?" Tao said as he turned to Azure Phoenix. "We need to tell Azure!"

As Wisdom and Tao went over to Azure, they started to whisper into their ears as Azure's eyes widened. "WHAT?"

Ella was getting close to getting up around that time as she heard some of the conversation.

"This is horrible!" Azure frowned.

"I know! This crime is frowned upon!" Tao said.

"Well, that criminal won't get away with it!" Azure frowned.

Ella's eyes widened as she hid, gulping. Did they KNOW about the tag? From the sounds of things, they did...

"Well, it seems ALL Total Drama and their visitors are now held responsible!" Tao sighed. "Come on!"

Ella gulped. It seems to her that the three won't give up until they find who tore the tag off... she quickly had another sequence as she thought, "What harm can it do? What harm can it do? What harm can it do?"

DREAM SEQUENCE

At Jade Palace, everyone had been gathered before the Jade Emperor and the Mystic Council on the stairs. Ben approached to Jade Emperor and bowed before him. Jade Emperor bowed back. Ben then decided to give the Majestic Sword of Balance to the Jade Emperor, THEN the tag that Ella torn off.

Jade Emperor smiled at Ben before he looked up. He glared at nervous and worried Chris and his friends, especially to Ella, who gulped, "Of all the foolishness, this is the worst you've ever done! This will not be accepted!"

Everyone shook nervously as Ella looked around. The Jade Emperor frowned as he said, "One of you has torn this tag off of a pillow! Do you know what this tag could be capable of?"

"Uh, well..." Chris started.

"ENOUGH!" Azure frowned. "You fools had no idea of what you are toying with! That tag from that pillow must not be removed, because otherwise, you will destroy the entire universe!"

"How were we supposed to know that? Nobody told us that!" Chris tried to explain.

"Yet you put our lives in danger because of this tag! Therefore, unless somebody confesses to WHO tore the tag off this pillow; you will not go on without the punishment! First, The Total Drama is forbidden from coming and using Mystic Realm forever!" Tao frowned.

"Second, all of you, unless the culprit REVEALS him or herself, will be punished. But we only allow the Humans who considered the possible danger, along with Royal Sisters, Discord and Equestria Ponies not be involved of it. Not execution but beating for 1,000 times!" Wisdom glared.

"Let the punishment commence! This will teach you or any of you for tearing a tag off..." Azure said, pulling a whip.

Ella shook... as she finally broke down, going all crazy. "I DID IT! I TORE THE TAG OFF! I DID IT! I DID IT!"

Everyone stared at Ella in shock as she started shaking like crazy. "I'M GLAD I DID IT!"

Ella then laughed like crazy as she said, "AND I'D DO IT AGAIN!"

Azure stared in shock, as he frowned. "Very well, then everyone will not be punished... Ella, you are to be punished, but beatings are not for you... YOU WILL BE SENTENCED TO TARTARUS FOR NINE THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED AND NINETY NINE YEARS!"

Ella paused. "Oh, is that all?"

"Be lucky you did not get life." Tao frowned.

---------------------------------------------------------------

In the land of Tartarus, Boris, Lorcan and Tadaka were talking.

"I've tried to kill a kid that was Nightmare Moon in order to impress Twilight Sparkle." Boris explained.

"Well, I tried to murder ponies for killing my brother." Lorcan frowned.

"Well, I gained help from the God of all evil in the lands of Equestria, and I killed all my Pokémon in a Nuzlocke Run." Tadaka explained. Tadaka then turned to the newcomer, Ella, who was now in chains and wearing an orange jumpsuit. "What are you in for?"

"Uh... I tore the tag off a pillow." Ella chuckled nervously.

Boris, Lorcan and Tadaka gasped in fear as they started to run and yell up to the sky, "HELP! LET US OUT OF HERE! THIS GIRL IS DERANGED! SHE'S A PSYCHOPATH!"

"MOMMY," Tadaka started to cry.

END DREAM SEQUENCE

Ella shook nervously. "I don't want to go to Tartarus! I got to sew that tag back on!"

As Ella started to run off, she didn't notice that the Running of the Bulls was about to finish.

Scott nodded as he whispered into his earpiece, "Try to get them out!"

"Got it..." Shadow Dragon's voice whispered.

Once again, two black hands appeared and slapped the bulls' butts as their eyes widened.

Bridgette and Katie's eyes widened as they try to run faster, but they could only go so fast before they got run over.

Scott laughed as he crossed the finish line, the bulls being blocked off.

"I got it! Yes! I got it!" Scott laughed as Katie and Bridgette were teleported over to where the others were.

Katie groaned. "Of course he got it..."

"And with that, Scott wins invincibility!" Celestia called.

"Celestia, Luna, you all have to come with us! Chris is stealing the Majestic Sword of Balance!" Azure frowned.

"Wait... what?" Celestia gulped.

"He's going to release Grimmore from his trap, and you know what we do to people who take any Mystic Weapons..." Wisdom frowned.

Celestia paused. "Uh, Azure, Wisdom, Tao, there's something I feel you should kn-"

"Come on!" Wisdom said as Azure, Tao and himself started to run off to the museum.

"WAIT!" Celestia said. "What Chris is doing isn't a bad thing! There's something you need to know!"

"What do we do now, sister?" Luna asked as the Mane Six, Ben, and the Final Six looked in worry.

"Come on, we better get going..." Celestia sighed as they all started to run off.

"Say, where's Ella?" Lindsay looked around.

"No time, let's just go!" Ben said as everyone started to go off.

--------------------------------------------------------

Katie: The Mystic Ponies are acting like us taking the sword is a bad thing...

-------------------------------------------------------

Lindsay: Ella not being herself, Scott winning invincibility... what else could go wrong?

-------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, with Shawn, he was nervously looking around when he noticed a group running. "Hey, excuse me, but..."

Celestia and her group stopped as they noticed Shawn coming up. Celestia blinked as she realized, "Oh! You must be from the future new season, too! What are you doing here?"

"I'm looking for Ella! We need her help!" Shawn said.

"We don't know where she is, sorry." Bridgette shrugged. "But maybe we can help you!"

"My friends, the new contestants, are trapped in a hole in the museum! We were exploring, and almost all of us fell! I called the police to get them out, but I don't know if they're going to arrive." Shawn explained.

"We're on our way to the museum ourselves! Maybe we can help you get them out!" Katie said.

"Great!" Shawn said as Celestia nodded.

"Come on, we don't have a moment to lose!" Luna said as they were on their way.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Bridgette: This Shawn guy... he seems nice, but I can tell he seemed paranoid...

---------------------------------------------------------------

Dawn: We made friends with some of the new contestants, and we've yet to meet the others, so the least we can do is help them out!

------------------------------------------

By this time, the police had arrived when Mystic Tao, Lightning Wisdom and Azure Phoenix came over.

"Come on!" Azure said, ignoring all the police that were there.

-------------------------------------------------

"Think you can grab that sword for me, Topher?" Chris said, after getting all the glass broken up.

"Anything for you, Chris McClean," Topher smiled as he reached for the sword.

"Thanks, Toph." Chris said as Topher was about to touch the sword.

"Oh no; Not that," Seeker said as he rammed Topher down to the ground and frowned. "No no no no no, NOT ONE TOUCH!"

At that time, Azure, Tao and Wisdom arrived as Wisdom frowned. "What were you thinking, McClean!"

"What?" Chris said.

"You cannot touch that sword! The Majestic Sword of Balance can sense the person or pony's true self: light or dark. If the person has greater darkness within him, it will destroy the world and engulf the world." Mystic Tao explained.

"What are you talking about?" Chris frowned.

"That Majestic Sword of Balance was not only the most powerful and great weapon! But also one of the Keys in unlocking Grimmore's Seal, along with Sword of Heaven's Light and Sword of Underworld's Darkness! And if one was not careful in using that power, you will destroy the entire universe!" Azure yelled.

"What? How was I supposed to know that?" Chris frowned. "Nobody told me that!"

"But Tao, Azure, Wisdom, Chris wasn't going to use the sword to free Grimmore!" Celestia said as she came in.

"Wait... what?" Azure, Tao and Wisdom said in shock.

"Look, I'm sorry we didn't tell you before, but we NEED that sword to get some magic words out combined with another one of your Mystic Weapons." Luna said as she and the Mane Six and Ben came in.

"Yes, it's true. The Magnificent Sword of Truth combined with the Majestic Sword of Balance is supposed to give us five magic words to remove a wall." Ben explained.

Tao raised an eyebrow, "The Magnificent Sword of Truth; Impossible. That Mystic Weapon was lost for years!"

"Well..." Chris said as he pulled it out from behind his back. "It's been found now..."

Tao, Azure and Wisdom stared in shock... as Tao said, "M-maybe we were wrong... but you still have to be punished..."

"Just say you gave us the punishment and be done with it." Chris said as he put the Magnificent Sword of Truth down and picked up the Majestic Sword of Balance... which started shaking all of a sudden.

"Chris, you better hope you know what you're doing!" Azure said, not liking the ground shaking a little.

Chris then put the Majestic Sword of Balance atop the Magnificent Sword of Truth... which stopped the shaking of the Earth, but the swords were now lifting together as they started to emit some noise.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back from below the hole, everyone looked up to see Shawn, along with the Final Six coming down.

"Oh, hi, guys!" Sammy said, waving.

"Hey!" Lindsay smiled. "How did you get down there?"

"Fell in." Jasmine said. "Thank goodness you're here..."

"Indeed." Scarlett frowned.

Katie gulped as she noticed Scarlett was normal. She then turned, "Uh, guys, did any of you know Scarlett was e-"

All of a sudden, the noise started to emit from the other room as the Season 6/5.2 contestants couldn't make out what Katie was saying. Dave yelled, "What? We can't hear you! There's too much noise!"

"You guys aren't who we're looking for, but maybe you can help us out!" Sky said. "From what Topher, Jasmine, maybe Beardo, Max, Scarlett, Amy and Samey have said, you're all looking good."

"What? We can't hear you! There's too much noise!" Bridgette called.

"We're going to lower down in a chain! We'll get each of you out!" Dawn called.

"What? We can't hear you! There's too much noise!" Sugar called.

Katie sighed as she stood up for a moment... as a blue box that served as the confessional appeared out of nowhere. Katie then walked inside.

Jasmine wondered why Katie went in the confessional... and the minute she thought of the confessional, it came down to her as Katie opened the door, and walked out. "I said, we're going to lower down in a chain to get each of you out!"

"Oh!" Sugar said...

Dave paused. "Wait... the confessionals you use, you can think them and they pop anywhere, even when people are using them?"

"Pretty much," Katie said... as she paused. "Oh..."

Katie looked up at the hole. "Scrap the chain idea; we're using the confessionals to get them out."

"What? We can't hear you! There's too much noise!" Scott yelled.

---------------------------------------------------------

(We see Katie getting Sky and Dave inside.)

Katie: Here you go... (The confessional doors opened up as Sky and Dave hopped out. A few moments later, Amy and Sammy walked in, Katie tripping the former as Sammy smiled.)

Sammy: Thanks again...

Katie: Anytime, here you go... (The doors opened as Sammy dragged Amy out.)

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jasmine: Creative way to use the confessionals, ever!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Everyone stood back as the five magic words started to form.

"Here they are, the five magic words!" Chris smiled as everyone looked up, and read them... then blinked. "Holy light rules, dark drools."

Azure blinked. "Holy light rules, dark drools? What kind of magic words are those? It sounds like something two kids would think up in Bible class!"

"Doesn't matter, we got the words." Chris said as he tried to pull the Magnificent Sword of Truth off the Majestic Sword of Balance. "Hey, Ben, give me a hoof, would ya?"

"On it," Ben nodded as he started helping Chris.

At that time, Lindsay, Katie, Bridgette, Dawn, Scott and Ezekiel had walked inside with the newer future contestants (minus Ella, who was still missing) as they noticed Topher recovering from being pinned by Seeker.

"There you are!" Jasmine said as Topher joined up with them. "Where have you been?"

"It's... a long story." Topher shrugged.

Celestia then noticed Scarlett within the group as she started to say, "Did any of you know that Scarlett is ev-"

However, the noise was continuing to emit as Max called out, "What? We can't hear you! There's too much noise!"

Celestia sighed. Maybe it'll be saved for another day...

-------------------------------------------------------

Celestia: Maybe it's for the best that the others find out Scarlett is not who she is for themselves... even if it takes an entire season...

--------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, outside the Mystic Museum, Ella was seen walking nervously. She had gotten lost trying to find Azure Phoenix's house, so she didn't sew the tag back on. What's worst, she was shaking with fear, knowing that Azure would be mad about the missing tag.

Ella took a deep breath as she started to think to herself, "This is getting ridiculous! They wouldn't execute me or beat me or put me in Tartarus or jail for tearing a tag. I'm probably just overreacting. It's not like the police are looking for..."

As Ella sighed, she started to lean towards a car... then yelped as she noticed she was leaning towards a police car.

"THE POLICE," Ella screamed as she started to run inside the museum. "THEY FOUND ME! HELP! HELP!

-----------------------------------------------------

Back inside the weapons room of the museum, pretty much all the Total Drama gang and the ponies were helping Chris and Ben trying to unstick the swords, but, Chris grunted. "It's stuck!"

"That's what happens when you clash two Mystic Weapons together, they tend to stick a little. They're magnetized!" Tao explained.

"You got to turn that noise off!" Celestia called.

"We need something to get those swords unstuck!" Sugar stated...

All of a sudden, Ella ran into the room as she was screaming, "HIDE ME! I'M TOO YOUNG TO GO TO PRISON!"

Ella, however, didn't see where she was going and crashed into everyone, which started a chain reaction, causing some pillars to fall down, some weapons to fall off, and the ceiling to come crashing down a bit as Shawn yelped.

"Well, back to the hole!" Shawn said as he started to run off, but Jasmine pulled him back.

Chris and Ben jumped in fright, which caused both swords to come apart. Ben nodded as he looked at the Majestic Sword of Balance and nodded.

"Whoops..." Ella chuckled nervously at the mess as everyone just looked at her.

"Well, that's one way to get them unstuck..." Azure shrugged as the Jade Emperor came in.

"What is going on?" Jade Emperor asked as he noticed his sword and another sword... as the Jade Emperor smiled, "The Majestic Sword of Balance... and the Magnificent Sword of Truth; Together at last."

Chris and Ben smiled as they handed over the two swords to Jade Emperor, Ben bowing. Jade Emperor then pulled a pose with both swords as he smiled. "Good to wield them both again. I can handle the Majestic Sword of Balance, but I'm better with BOTH weapons in hand... considering the Magnificent Sword of Truth, no longer lost!"

As the Jade Emperor put the swords into his holsters, Ella came up to the Jade Emperor in worry as she started begging, "Please, you can't do this to me! Please! I'm sorry! I don't want to go to Tartarus! I don't want to go to jail! I can't live like this! Get me an attorney! Get me an attorney named Murray! Please, please, don't send me down below or beat me or put me in jail! Please!"

Everyone just blinked in confusion as the Jade Emperor held his hoof. "Little girl, please, calm down. What did you do?"

"I tore the tag off of Azure Phoenix's pillow! After he said that anything belonging to a Mystic Pony should not remove!" Ella cried. "And now, the police have come for me!"

Everyone stared blankly at Ella... before Azure started giggling. "You... you thought that that was- you were... you were... you were..."

Azure Phoenix then started laughing crazily (sort of like Roy Rooster's laugh from 'Garfield and Friends') as Ella just looked over in confusion, wondering why Azure was laughing.

"Ella, those tags are EVERYWHERE around the world and dimensions." Celestia explained. "And those tags don't really matter unless you're in a furniture store and it hasn't been bought for! Point is, tearing a tag off a pillow or sofa or couch ISN'T a crime unless it hasn't been bought!"

"That's right, Ella." Sky explained as she sat down next to her. "Just because a tag says 'do not remove under penalty of law' doesn't mean it's entirely against the law."

"She's right, little girl." Jade Emperor explained. "You're not going to jail or Tartarus or get beaten. I guarantee it. Besides, if we were to punish humans with beatings, that would just make us freaking monsters and unredeemable!"

"Right, and who would actually SIDE with somebody who gives punishments to people that were unredeemable?" Twilight rolled her eyes.

Tao frowned. "I still say we should at least beat SOMETHING... Chris was trying to steal the sword in the first place!"

All of a sudden, three bears dressed in the same white shirts with red bow ties and a blue B on them, and straw hats, known as the Buddy Bears, came out of nowhere as they started to dance and sing to their theme song.

Buddy Bears: Oh, we are the Buddy Bears, we always get along,
Each day we do a little dance and sing a little song,
If you ever disagree, it means that you are wrong,
Oh, we are the Buddy Bears, we always get along!

The moment the Buddy Bears made their exit, everybody paused at the sudden randomness that just occurred. They decided not to question that as they turned towards each other, resuming their conversation, Chris said, "Just say you gave us the beatings, it won't make a difference anyway..."

"I guess..." Tao sighed.

As soon as Jade Emperor nodded, he turned to the others, "I'm sorry we keep causing you trouble. Mystic Ponies may fight with honor, but we take thing REALLY seriously at times. I apologize if we did anything that offended you humans."

"Oh, they didn't bother us... though I can't believe they would beat humans!" Bridgette frowned. "For goodness sake, the BIBLE, the freaking Bible..."

"We know, we know, religion did this and people get beaten, but we just like following Chinese rule." Mystic Tao shrugged.

"Well, regardless, you're all free to go..." Jade Emperor said. "Thank you for my swords back, sorry for the misunderstanding..."

"That's all right." Celestia said. "Though I don't think we'll be coming back to the Mystic Realm after a while... not with our friends around, so until the Mystic Realm can tone down the violent aspects, we probably won't be stepping foot into it again..."

"Probably not until a possible sequel, anyway," Pinkie pointed out.

"Come along, we better get going..." Celestia said.

Topher frowned as he felt around his pocket. "My phone! My pictures with Chris! That stupid dragon confiscated my phone!"

About a minute later, Seeker suddenly appeared with a sign as he put it down and hammered it up, enunciating each word every time he hammered the sign. "DON'T! TOUCH; THE; MYSTIC; WEAPONS!"

He hammered the sign after the sentence as Seeker nodded. He then disappeared as he said, "And I'm keeping the phone as evidence for a crime!"

Topher frowned, "Hmph!"

"We better get going." Celestia said. "We had a long day..."

------------------------------------------------------------

Lindsay: All in all, a pretty stressful day, but I'm glad everything worked out in the end!

-----------------------------------------------------------

Dawn: I don't know what's going to go on at this point, but hopefully, we can win this fight...

---------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, all the way back at the Everfree Forest, the Total Drama questers have gotten the call as Heather answered it.

"Yes?" Heather asked.

"We got the words!" Celestia said from her phone dial. "The magic words to remove the wall are 'Holy light rules, dark drools'."

The ten questers just stared blankly as Sam said in a flat voice, "What?"

"Holy light rules, dark drools?" Leshawna frowned. "What kind of words were tho-"

As if answered, the wall suddenly started going down as it revealed another two paths. Leshawna stared in surprise as she said, "Well, that works. Thanks, Celestia. Now we can move on."

"Anytime," Celestia nodded. "Good luck with the quest! Come back soon!"

"Right," Heather said.

"Oh, hey, find a place to rest when nightfall comes, and call in!" Geoff's voice said. "We're doing our next Aftermath show and we're going to need you to be viewed through the cameras so you can talk and be part of the Aftermath Show!"

"Ten-four," Gwen nodded as she hung up. "Well, same teams?"

"Yep," Everyone nodded.

"Great." Gwen said as she turned to Heather, Trent, Leshawna and Eva. "Heather, if you'd lead the way to the right path?"

"No problemo." Heather said as the five started towards the right path, carrying the copy of the book.

"We better go get Sierra before we get going." Cody said as he looked around. "She's our lookout right now..."

"Good, comrade!" Brick nodded. "No man or woman behind, after all..."

All of a sudden, Sierra came rushing by as she yelped, "Six people coming this way! It's that crazy bird and the Weums!"

"What?" Brick said in shock as he, Sam, Sadie and Cody turned... to see Tracy and the Weums standing right there, the littlest Weum just waving.

"RUN AND SCREAM!" Sadie screamed before the group started to run. They knew they wouldn't do good against the Weums or Tracy.

The leader Weum giggled a bit as she said, "Look at them all run, scared. They may be not the toughest, but they're entertaining."

"I shall fiwe a warning to them!" Tracy said as he pulled out a machine gun and started shooting.

"Aw, don't hurt them!" The littlest Weum said.

"I don't think he's going to hurt them, Weum Five." the glasses wearing Weum said.

"Seriously, can we go by our real names?" the bird winged Weum said.

"No. That would ruin the surprise." The leader Weum with the cat tail said.

"I'm fighting back!" Sam said as he started to collect rocks and started to throw them.

The six 'enemies' yelped as they started to duck down. One of the rocks hit the bird winged Weum as she growled. "Ouch! That's it! RIB-"

"Weum Two, don't be a hero!" The leader Weum frowned as she pulled the bird winged Weum back.

"Fine..." Weum Two frowned. "Let me be hit by rocks. That's the way to go, huh? I should be at home, sipping a drink, but no!"

"Come on!" The leader Weum sighed as she pulled Weum Two over.

Brick then came back and pulled Sam over as they started to catch up to Cody and Sadie, who had already ran off.

"They got away again!" The wolf-tailed Weum sighed. "Typical..."

"Maybe not ALL of them..." Tracy smirked as he noticed shaking bushes...

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, back in Equestria, we see Ella smiling as she was now singing to the birds happily. Lindsay smiled as she passed by Ella. "I'm glad to see you're feeling better."

"Now that I'm no longer a wanted criminal, I feel rejuvenated!" Ella smiled.

"You want to hang?" Lindsay smiled.

"Sure!" Ella smiled. "We only have a few minutes before we go back anyway..."

Little unknown to Lindsay and Ella was that a familiar fat pink wearing blond girl was frowning at the friendship between the two.

-------------------------------------------------

Sugar: Ah'm telling you now, if me and those two end up on the same season together... I'd be findin' a way to break that friendship!

--------------------------------------------------

Back at Ponyville, the team players and their friends arrive, preparing for the elimination.

"And once again Scott is staying." Katie remarked bitterly.

"Which means any one of us is next, eh." Ezekiel said in concern. It's true. With the bad guy safe, either him, Dawn, Katie, Lindsay and Bridgette are vulnerable.

"Which means the game is over for one of us." Dawn said in concern.

---------------------

Dawn: I know it's going to be me. I fell first in the challenge. (Sighs) Scott is once again going to be my own downfall.

----------------------

"Come on! We can't let it get us down!" Pinkie exclaims, hugging her pals. "We can have a going away party to cheer you all up!"

"What good would that do? Scott is staying." Lindsay said in a moody tone, "If he wins, we're doomed."

"Exactly. I'm gonna go all the way, and you're all dead, especially the mystical freak!" Scott said evilly, referring to all the losers, and especially Dawn.

"Okay, that does it." Pinkie said, giving out a stern look as she lets go. The mare can't bear to let her friends be depressed like this, and let Scott get away with insulting them, "Twilight?"

"Yeah," Twilight asked curiously as she came over. Pinkie whispered into her, making the Alicorn's eyes widen before smirking. "Oooh, sounds like fun."

"What? What are you up to now?" Scott asked, giving a suspicious look, making the two smirks devilishly. "What?"

Twilight suddenly zapped Scott. The villain yelped as he found himself half-frozen in a huge ice cube.

"Hey!" Scott exclaimed in alarm and annoyance, struggling. "Let me out!"

"Hey, look! A Scott-sicle," Pinkie joked to her friends.

Most of the others laughed a bit. This cheered them right up.

"Ho ho. Very funny!" Scott scowled in annoyance.

"Hey, Cutie Mark Crusaders," Rainbow giggled to the CMC, who came by. "Wanna try for more cutie marks?"

"Yeah," The Cutie Mark Crusaders shouted eagerly.

"How about Cutie Mark Crusader Catapult Launchers," Rainbow asked, motioning to the stuck Scott in the ice cube.

Getting the idea, all the CMC glared at Scott with devilish grins.

"No, no, no!" Scott yelped as the girls picked him up and headed off quickly.

----------------

Rainbow: (grins) Oh, yeah. Who said that I can't give any bad ideas, huh?

------------------

"So how about that party," Pinkie asked her friends, arching her eyebrows a bit.

"Sure!" Bridgette exclaimed with a laugh. "I mean, hey, we need some laughter before one of us goes, right?"

"Last one to Sugarcube Corner has to buy!" Rainbow teased as she flew off quickly.

"Not me!" Lindsay, Katie, Bridgette and Dawn shouted in unison as they zipped off.

"Whoa, whoa, hang on, wait up!" Ezekiel exclaimed, trying to catch up.

------------------

Dawn: Yeah, losing to Scott is bad. (smirks) But it's worth seeing him get punished. Hee hee hee.

-------------------

It was once again another ride to Castle Canterlot. The players, Mane Six and Ben has arrived, preparing for another elimination. One of the six will be out of the game for good tonight. Who will it be?

As the Mane Six, Ben and the future season Players waits in the stands, the players stood in front of Chris, Discord and the princesses. Celestia spoke up, "Despite our little incident in the Mystic Realm, things turn out rather well."

"Scott, what happened to you?" Luna ask Scott, noticing that he is damp. The boy has been launched into the lake by the CMC's catapult. And after he was fished out, the jerk has to go through Tartarus just for his feet to be warm up.

"Don't ask!" Scott snaps to Luna in annoyance, ignoring the giggles from everyone else who knew. "What are you laughing at?!"

"Well, Scott is immune tonight. The rest of you are fair game." Chris said as he holds up a tray with five remaining cupcakes, one that Chris tossed to Scott, "Time to boot someone out!"

Celestia looks at the list, looking carefully, then she looks up, speaking, "Lindsay." The girl was tossed her cupcake which she caught. "Katie."

"Yes." Katie said as she was tossed her own cupcake.

"Ezekiel."

"Gee, look like I'm getting closer to the Final Four, eh." Ezekiel said, smiling as he caught his own cupcake. "This is what, a first for me?"

"And there's Bridgette and Dawn left. Only 1 of these two will make it to the Final Five." Chris said to the watching Dawn and Bridgette who are anxious to see who would make it.

"The final cupcake of the night goes to..." Celestia pauses as everyone else waits anxiously, impatiently, or something else altogether. "...Bridgette."

Dawn looks disappointed as Bridgette grabs the final cupcake of the night. Noticing her down look, the girl pats her friend on the back, saying, "It's okay, Dawn. You did well. B must be proud of you for making it this far."

"Yeah, I hope so." Dawn said with a nod. Even though she lost, the psychic girl did her best.

"Of course, this means that the Alicorn team is out of the running." Fluttershy said sadly. Only 3 members of the original Earth Pony team and 2 members of the original Unicorn team are left.

"So, time for intern ship?"

"Actually, the next Aftermath show is due any moment. You will come to work once it's over." Chris said to Dawn with a smile, giving her the creeps. Then again, what Chris doesn't do that gives her the creeps?

The Season 6/5.2 cast takes their leave with Dawn to prepare for the Aftermath Show. As Discord summoned a portal, Sky smiles while asking, "You know, I hear the Aftermath Show is really good...

"How come they didn't do one for Revenge of the Island OR your last season," Dave ask Dawn, arching an eyebrow at this.

Dawn, as they were going towards the portal leading to the Equestria Girls world, explains, "Those seasons were too short..."

Topher, about to walk in the portal, said, "Well, at least everything is all good, then. We're not appearing until next season..." Discord then summoned a portal below Topher's feet once again as Topher suddenly fell, screaming as a thud was heard. His voice is heard below the portal. "And I may as well be glad I haven't appeared yet!"

Chris chuckles a bit as he turns to the camera while motioning to the Final Five, "And thus, five players remain! Who will be booted out again? Who will make it to the Final Four? And will Tuerto ever be taken care of? Find out next time on..." As he finishes, we pan away from the castle. "...Total...Drama...EQUESTRIA!!!"

----------------------

Brick's group is kept on running until they arrived in a part of the forest. At least the group got away from those weirdoes now.

Brick breathes in as he spoke, "Okay, at least we escaped in one piece."

Cody nods, checking the sky while commenting, "Yep, and nightfall has come..."

"We better start calling in so we can at least have an Aftermath Show participation..." Sadie said as she prepares to call in. The Aftermath Show is about to begin and the groups should participate.

"Right..." Sam said in agreement,

Cody looks around. He begins to worry as the colt spoke, "Wait a minute... where's Sierra?"

All four of them suddenly realize they are down by one.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Sierra poked her head out of the bushes where she had hid. She had no idea that everybody had already ran off.

"Hello? Did we win?" Sierra calls out as she carefully steps out of hiding. All of a sudden, Sierra felt a hand grabbing her mane. Sierra gasped as she saw... the leader Weum staring at her. "Let go of me! Cody! Help," Her horn started to glow.

The leader Weum quickly negated Sierra's Alicorn magic by grabbing her horn as the leader Weum stared at her. Sierra tried to lift her arm to get the watch to dial up, but the leader Weum let go of the horn, grabbed the watch from Sierra's wrist, and smashed it into the ground, stomping on it as the leader Weum then went back to grabbing the horn.

Sierra, scared as the leader Weum stared at her, listens as he said, "Look into my eyes."

Sierra pause then points out, "Uh... I... I can't see your eyes. They're covered up in that black hood."

Leader Weum pause, realizing that the Alicorn is right. Still, the leader said, "OH... well... just pretend you can see my eyes. They're hot pink, and they can hypnotize you."

Sierra nods, getting the idea. She spoke, "Oh, all right. I guess that works."

Leader Weum pause then ask, "Are you doing it now?"

"Yes, I'm pretending I'm seeing your eyes."

"Look into them!" The leader demands in irritation. Sierra screams as the Leader Weum stares deeply. "You are now one of us; One of us; One of us!"

Sierra went into a deep trance as if hypnotized, the other Weums surrounded the Alicorn as Tracy seemed to be reading for a book that read 'How to change Horsey back to Human' as he seemed to be doing some work. The wolf tailed Weum seemed to be holding what looked like a shot needle as she came closer.

Weums all chant eerily, "One of us; One of us; One of us!"

Sierra gave a blank stare as she was slowly turning back into a human, in her hypnotized state. Who KNOWS what will happen to her now?

-----------------

We see clips of the next episode, as the announcer spoke, "We are getting closer to the end, so why not one more Aftermath Show for the road?!"

Applejack, human version, frowns as she ask, "Heck, if 'dis gonna be another Alejandro bashing episode?"

We see Alejandro, tied up, yelps as the CMC throws pies at him.

"You got it! Mostly everyone reunites, with special guest appearance by Sunset!"

"So how are things at Canterlot High doing for you?" Geoff asks while interviewing Sunset.

"They're doing fine." Sunset said, lying through her teeth. She yelps as the audience boos, throwing stuff at her. "Hey!"

Principal Celestia yells at the crowd through a megaphone, "No throwing at the stage!"

"Also, a musical performance by the Rainbooms!"

We see the band Rainbooms playing as the audience cheers them on.

"What will happen? Find out on the next episode of 'Total Drama Equestria'. Be there!!"

"It's going to rock the house!" Vinyl cheers on.
