Chapter 8: Season Harvest and Toby captured?! Attack the flying fortress!

Back in the Titan lair,

After they bid farewell to their parents as they went to complete their tasks, the children all decided to try to find something to do in the Titan Lair. While he and Mike were playing some video games, Toby looked over to see a depressed look on Seasons face, "Uh, can we pause the game Mike? Season looks like she's down in the dumps," Toby asked.

Looking over to see his little sister looking very sad, Mike then nodded in agreement, and walked over to the honey orange filly, "Hey, Season, are you feeling ok?" Mike asked.

Looking up to see her oldest brother and her first cousin, Season let out a sad sigh, "Well, ta be honest, no. Ah'm feeling guilty for what happened to Serenity," she replied, tearing up.

Pulling his sister into a warm hug, Mike then patted Season on the back, "Shh, its ok, any one of us would've done the same for you," he reassured.

"Yeah, and don't worry, I have a feeling we'll get Serenity back," Toby said, which helped to lift the spirits of Season.

"Thanks guys, I appreciate it," Season said, hugging her brother back, and nuzzling under her cousins chin.

"Hey, its that robot!" The trio heard Kelly's voice coming from around the corner, and went to check it out. When they got to where the commotion was, they saw a large green robot, with piercing red eyes.

"The same robot that kidnapped Vibrant," Toby said. The robot then took notice of both Toby and Season.

"SUBJECTS IDENTIFIED," the robot said, as it moved closer.

"Season, Toby, run!" Mike said, which is what they did, but it was all for naught, as the robot launched some cables at the two before they could escape. Season let out a high pitched scream, which caught the ears of Discord, Fluttershy, Heiru, and Icezer, as well as the other children.

Rushing towards where the screaming came from, everyone gasped to see Season and Toby were captured by the robot, "SUBJECTS CAPTURED. RETURNING TO BASE," the robot said, just as Heiru and Icezer ran to go and save Toby and Season, but they were too late. The robot then used some propulsion systems to fly through the roof, and away from the Titan Lair.

"TOBY!" Fluttershy cried in despair.

"MOMMA!" Toby called, scared of being taken away from his mother.

Feeling frustrated for not saving his new friends, Heiru then pulled out a communicator, "Silver, come in Silver, this is Heiru. A big robot just stole Season Harvest and Toby," he said.

"*Bzzt* 10-4, My group is already in pursuit of James' base," Silvers voice came from the communicator.

"What do you mean?" Icezer asked.

"Lucky Joy and Crystal Charity were gobbled up by James' Chaos creature, according to Brian, and their base is a giant flying fortress," Silver replied, which made everyone gasp.

"A flying WHAT?!" Heiru asked.

"Its true. Icezer, Heiru, get to the two remaining jets, and take to the skies. We'll need all the help we can get with this behemoth," Silver instructed.

"On it!" the two replied, as they rushed to the jet hanger.

"Discord, can we trust you to keep the others safe?" Icezer asked.

"Don't worry boys, I'll make sure to keep them safe," Discord replied, as both titans flew off in their jets.

Later in the skies above Ponyville,

A dark shadow cast over the normally happy town of Ponyville. As the townsfolk looked up, they all gasped to see a humungous flying object. The high class city of Canterlot also took notice of the flying monstrosity, the princesses as well. "Sister, what is that thing?" Luna asked.

"I don't know Luna, but it can't be good," Celestia replied, as she and Luna saw a bunch of smaller aircrafts flying towards the larger machine, firing on it. Upon closer examination of the smaller crafts through a telescope, Celestia could faintly see the boys that Discord brought with him, each flying their own aircrafts.

"Princesses, what are those monstrosities?" the regal sisters looked to see some of the Canterlot nobility looking at them curiously.

"Worry not, our loyal subjects, the smaller crafts are on our side, but the larger one is another story," Celestia reassured.

Meanwhile, in the Mane Carrier,

James was sneering at the teenagers who were attempting to thwart his plans, along with the Power Ponies' enemies, "Don't those flies know when to quit?!" James asked.

"No need to worry James, my mummy minions are working every turret onboard," the Pharaoh reassured.

Looking over at Shadow Mane, High Heel saw her teammates staring off into space. Feeling worried for the stealthy thief, High Heel went over to her friend, "Hey, Shadow Mane, are you alright?" High Heel asked.

Snapping back into reality, Shadow Mane saw a worried look on High Heels face, "Oh, yeah, I'm fine. I was just thinking about something," Shadow Mane replied.

"Would you like to talk about it?" the shoe themed villain asked.

"Uh, sure," Shadow Mane replied, as she and High Heel went to another room.

After the two mares left, there came a beeping from a monitor, "James, Alpha has returned with the targets," Long Face said.

"Good, I shall meet Alpha in the landing bay, in the meantime, can you guys supervise the activity here?" James asked, which everyone nodded, as he left.

Soon after James left, High Heel and Shadow Man came back in, "So, you believe that because of that vision, you have reason to believe that Humdrum is your long lost son?" High Heel asked, which Shadow Mane nodded in confirmation.

"What's this about a long lost son?" Long Face asked.

"Well, when we were defeated by those humans in Ponyville, and as I fell towards Humdrum, I saw a vision of the son I had to give up because I couldn't afford to keep him," Shadow Mane replied.

"I see, so you believe Humdrum is your son?" the Pharaoh asked, which Shadow Mane nodded.

"Hmm, well, if the Power Ponies ever find us up here, then we can ask them of Humdrums side of the story," Mane-iac said, just as they felt a hard jerk, "GAH! Are those pests still firing at us?!" she asked hysterically.

"Minions! Blast those humans out of the sky!" the Pharaoh ordered, which they complied, pressing some buttons.

Outside the Mane Carrier,

While they were blasting different parts of the huge battleship, Echo-Echo noticed something about some of the turrets, and how they were moving. Upon closer examination, Echo-Echo then noticed that they were locking onto their planes, "UH, GUYS? I THINK WE GOT TROUBLE!" the robot teen said uneasily.

"Don't worry, just make sure you keep moving," Silver instructed. What he didn't know was happening next, was that the energy cannons fired, blasting of a wing from each of the jets.

"GAH, I'M HIT!" Francisco cried.

"I am too!" Brian raged.

"Keep calm guys, we should try to find some where soft we can land!" Silver said, as each of the planes began to fall out of the sky.

Meanwhile, with Eris' group,

As they were standing in front of picturesque waterfall, Eris was thinking to herself, 'I was supposed to guard the Master Element, but now I only have one piece of it. What's the point of going on?' she cursed, as another vision entered her mind. It had the same tribal mare from her earlier vision looking on at an alter in fear, as it was ablaze. Snapping back into reality, Eris shook her head, which concerned her group.

"Eris, are you ok?" Raiden asked.

"Yeah, I was just thinking about something. I wasn't able to protect the Master Element, but we can at least gather what's left of it. I wasted too much time moping, so lets get on with the search," Eris said, as the others went on with their search.

A few hours later, the four were searching in an ancient temple, "Hey guys! I think I hit a jackpot!" Stealth called. The others came rushing, and sure enough, there were fragments of the Master Element. They all rushed to gather the pieces, but when they placed their hands and hooves on a piece, they were all engulfed in a bright light. Opening their eyes, they saw that they weren't in the temple anymore, but out in another cave of some kind. Looking around, they could see some sort of alter, with a young red mare with an orange mane and sky blue eyes standing in front of it, with little fairy ponies floating about.

"Please Chaos, the invaders are coming, we have to flee!" the mare cried, which resulted in some sort of indescribable sound coming from the waters, "Yes, I understand, we may flee, but you must stay here, I know that," the mare said, as the fairies started fluttering about, "Oh, uh, don't worry, I'm sure everything will be alright, I promise," the mare said, as the fairies began singing happily, as they took the mare up the stairs to the summit of the alter. Looking around, the mare saw six beautiful gem stones, "The Elements of Harmony," she said, as she reached the summit, where she beheld a large rainbow crystal, which sparkled in the colors of a rainbow, which the mare was able to figure out what it was saying, "Yes, the servers are the six harmony, our friendship intensifies their power. The controller, serves to unify the harmony," the mare said, when she realized something, "Its you! You control the Elements of harmony!" she exclaimed, as a bright light surrounded Eris and the others.

Opening their eyes again, they could see that they were transported in front a large alter of some kind, one that Eris knew very well, "What was all that about?" Filli Second asked.

"I'm not sure, but it might have something to do with the master element. Yes, it has to be! We've gathered quite a few pieces, so I think we got all the ones we need," Eris said, as she rushed to the alters summit. Focusing her magic between her talon and lion paw, the missing fragments appeared, and as she threw them up in the air, the fragments went back to where they originated, and a large rainbow crystal object appeared.

"Wow! Its just like in that vision!" Raiden commented.

"Just about, there's still one piece missing, so we'll have to keep looking," Eris said, just as a picture appeared in the Master Element.

"From what Silver told us on the communicator, that's James' ship," Stealth explained.

"But why would the Master Element show us this?" Eris asked.

"Maybe its a warning?" Filli Second asked.

"Maybe. James must be up to something dangerous!" Raiden said, as he and the others left.

Back in the titan lair infirmary,

Francisco was resting soundly in his bed, while dreaming. He saw Heaven walking through a forest, all happy and calm, until a giant robot came along, and forced the little girl to run in the opposite direction, and towards her brothers. Upon seeing their sister in danger, the titans went on the attack, Silver unleashing a psychic wave, Brian using powerful fireballs, Icezer launching a beam of cold energy, Heiru using a concentrated beam of ghost energy, Stealth throwing a nature bomb, Echo-Echo using sound blasts, Raiden throwing thunderbolts, and Francisco slashing with a special rift. The combined attacks were able to destroy the robot, only to reveal more on the way. The titans smiled at the new challenge, and went on the attack, just as Francisco woke up, just barely hearing dream Heaven say, "YAY big bwothers! You beat those big meanies of wobots!" Sitting up in his bed, Francisco looked around, seeing Discord, Heaven, Fluttershy and Twilight all looking at him with concern.

"What happened?" Francisco asked.

"You were shot down by James' battleships turrets. But you were able to land safely along the shores of the lake," Fluttershy explained.

"Unfortunately, James got away, but your brothers are doing better than we expected," Discord said, pointing towards the others, as they watched the TV in annoyance at the news story.

"And I'm sure you heard that Toby was kidnapped by his own father along with Season Harvest? Twilight asked.

"Yeah, but we won't rest until we bring the two of them home, along with the other four, right guys?" Francisco asked his brothers, who all nodded in determination.

"Right, but for now, you really need to rest," Fluttershy said, pushing Francisco back down on his bed.

"But we can't sit idly by while that jerk is out there, doing who knows what," Brian argued.

"Brian, Fluttershy's right, Francisco should stay behind and get some rest," Silver said, placing a hand on his brothers shoulder.

"No, I feel fine! I'm going to the hanger to modify the jets, so we can counter those turrets," Francisco argued, as he got out of bed, and left the room.

"WAIT! You can't move around just yet!" Twilight yelled.

"Give it up Twilight, once Francisco has set his mind on something, there's no changing his mind," Silver told the princess, who shakily nodded with reluctance.

"But, he's still injured!" Fluttershy said.

"Don't wowwy! My bwothers are wewwy stwong!" Heaven reassured.

"By the way, when did you and your group get back Twilight?" Silver asked.

"Well, it was sometime after we got your message, so my group decided to head back, so we can put our heads together on this," Twilight replied.

"Alright, lets head to hanger, and see if Francisco is done with those modifications," Icezer said, as everyone left the room to go to the hanger.
