Chapter 9: Last Expo/Heading to the Prison/Obtaining Colonel Blood's Locket/Invintation

Back with Toby's family...

"Everyone, I have some news." Bowser said. "Pinkie and most of the children are lost and nowhere to be found."

This made everyone gasp in epiphany.

"They're missing?" Applejack cried.

"As much as I hate to say it, yes." Bowser replied, as he walked away.

"Well, as long as Pinkie is with them, they will be safe." Twilight said.

"Toby? Will you be alright about that?" Silver Spoon asked.

"Of course I am. You make me feel happy. I could never replace you with another filly friend. You complete me." her 'colt friend' answered.

This made Silver Spoon blush in happiness.

"Good point. In the time being, how about we watch the titans and Nega Titans do the indoor running of the bulls?" Diamond Tiara said.

"I'm not going. I'm going to the Manehatten Museum with Bowser to show him some incredible artworks," 'Toby' said.

"OK. Don't take too long, sweetie pie!" Silver Spoon chirped.


Meanwhile, back with the investigating officers...

They were going to the files of the suspects they interviewed.

"What about this pink mare? She seems too stupid to be stupid. She must be some kind of mastermind genius." Gilda said.

"Maybe your "Turtle" hunch was right. And it seems correct." Will said.

"Except the suspects we interviewed are heading to the Manehatten stage, which happens to be next to the Manehatten Museum!" Iron Will concluded.

"Maybe we're not so... different after... all." the investigators said altogether.

"Come on, guys! We must follow them to Manehatten!" Shade said.

"To Manehatten!" Will commanded.


Back with Bowser...

"What's taking George so long?" he thought.

"Sorry I'm late, Number Two. But it appears we have a time limit." he said.

"Perfect." Bowser said sarcastically.

"Do you the evidence to frame the pink pony?" George asked.

"Yes." the stallion said as he held Pinkie Pie's cupcake.

"Yes! Success!" the criminal chuckled. "Our plan is going exactly as planned!" he exclaimed. Just then, loud rumbling came from above them, "What in the world are they doing up there?!" he asked.


Back with Toby's family...

The audience took their seats and watched their shows. Then it was time for the indoor running of the bulls. The people who were part of the act are the Titans and Nega Titans.

"Wish Mike was here." Applejack thought. "He loved comedy."

The act started as some bulls ran around the stage. The super powered teens all ran for their lives, screaming at the top of their lungs, as they were either trampled or thrown by the bulls. After a while, they ran back stage, "The bulls are out of control!" Stealth exclaimed.

"Who could've foreseen this?!" Dusty demanded.

"I did!" Raiden replied, matter-of-factly, before he looked back out in the arena, "Oh no, here they come again!" he screamed as they all ran away.


Back with Pinkie's group,

After escaping the wrath of George, Joshua led the group through an icy wasteland. They had all turned blue from being cold, except for Icezer. Next, they ventured through a scorching hot desert, then back to the icy wasteland, then back to the desert again, "Anyone else think were going in circles?" Conner asked, as they crawled through the sand.

"I thought you knew the way Pinkie?" Nyx asked.

"It's not that far off," Pinkie replied.

"What makes you so sure?" Silver asked.

"Because of that," Pinkie replied, pointing at a sign, pointing in the direction of the Frostbite Maximum Security Detention Center. With a burst of energy, the children all sprinted in the direction of the prison, leaving Pinkie behind, "Hey! Wait for me!" Pinkie called, as she followed.


Back to George and Bowser,

"Alright, it should be in here," Bowser said, as he planted some explosives on an iron door.

"And I think the walls are too thick for anyone at the expo to hear it," George said, as Bowser cleared the door. With that, George pressed the button on his detonator, setting of the explosives. Once the door was off, a skeleton of a griffon fell out, with a gold locket.

"There it is! Colonel Blood's locket!" Bowser exclaimed.

"Excellent, go get it," George ordered. Reluctantly, Bowser reached for the skeleton, and pulled out the locket. Just then, they heard someone approaching.

"Lets get out of here!" George declared, as he ran out of the room. Bowser left another coin behind, before running off. Unfortunately, his shadows were seen by Shade and Gilda.

"Guys, we saw something! It appears to be heading to the expo!" Shade called on his communicator.

"*BZZT* Ok, we'll see you guys momentarily, but you need to give chase to them," Will replied, as the two ran after the shadows.

"But where are the guards?" Gilda asked.

"I thought I saw some of them at the expo," Shade replied.

"Of course they are," Gilda said bluntly.

Back at the Maximum Security Detention, Toby was at the prison playground, swinging.

"I want my family back. I want to go back to them." Toby said sadly. He failed to see Shadow Mavis behind him, and he screamed when he almost hit her.

"Whoa! It's okay, George. No need to worry. I'm the evil twin of Mavis." she said.

"Oh, right." Toby said. "Mavis must be really depressed after she wore King Sombra's crown when she was kidnapped."

"So, I heard about the talent show that's upcoming. I was wondering if I could be in the front row seat section." Shadow Mavis said.

"Uh, yeah. I'll get permission."

"Great!" Shadow Mavis said, as Toby left. She then got a heart valentine from her jumpsuit, and admired it. It said "To my favorite villainess. From George Cunningham, your Valentine".

"Oh, Georgie. I will always remember the times we spent together. I promise we will fond a way to reunite our family and friends to get revenge." Shadow Mavis said, as she went on the swings.

Toby eventually found Trixie while sweating nervously. "Tr-rixie?" he stammered.

"Yes, Toby? What's going on?" Trixie asked, then put the pieces together. "Oh, looks like little Toby has found another girlfriend, did he?" she smiled mischievously.

"No, it's not that! Some girl by the name of Shadow Mavis thinks I'm George, and well, she thinks I'm George. I don't want to get a lot of people mad at me, but could you please let her get a front row seat at the talent show and don't tell her I'm Toby?"

"OK, Toby. Cross my heart..." Trixie said.

"Stick a cupcake in my eye." Toby finished.

"Good. See you later, Toby." Trixie said, as the two departed.
