//------------------------------// // Chapter 9: Finding Crusaders and Cosmic Powers indoctrinated // Story: MLP: FIM: The Vengeance of Kul'as // by Hairy Konquerer //------------------------------// Terry had finished cleaning up the confetti and dumped it in a trash can, only for it to transform into Sneak, who shook off the confetti annoyed. "So C. Can our wishes be anything?" Cesar then took out several documents, one having 'we the people' in bold on top and another saying bill of rights as he found the one he was looking for. "Actually there's the red tape, very light pink tape." Cesar then rematerialized in front of the group with a blank rule slate behind him. "#1. I can't kill anyone." A guillotine came down and sliced him in half. "So don't bring it up. #2. Making other fall in love is a no-no form the get go." Cesar turned into a pair of lips that kissed Twilight. "I'm con FlashLight either way. #3." Cesar rose from the ground rotted with chains. "I can't resurrect the dead, it wasn't a fun idea. I don't like doing it!" Cesar changed back to normal bowing to them. "It's yours other then that." Rarity was about to say something when Luna stopped her and whispered into her ear. "Let me show you a trick I learned." Luna then walked up showing a face of disappointment. "Red tape? So you powers are weaker now? I can raise the moon, and yet he can't raise the dead." Cesar then looked at her with a deadpan. "All right everyone, let's go find the Elements younger sisters and figure out what happens from there." Luna began to walk but stopped immediately as Cesar's now gigantic foot stood in front of it. "Excuse me?" He asked. "Are you looking at me, did you open that gem? Did you wake me up? Did you bring me here? All just to tell me you don't need me? I don't think so! You're getting your wishes, he's getting his wishes, everyone in this room is getting their wishes so SIT DOWN!" Cesar screamed. The Mane Six, Chrysalis, Ricky and Terry complied and sat on a plane that materialized around them. "You emergency exits are on your all around you, keep your hooves and wings inside at all times and like news when it's 11:00, we are OUTTA HERE!" With a shout of those last two words, the plane rocketed out of Luna's room, creating a large hole with debris in it as it rocketed into the distance. Marty dusted himself off as he brought out a vacuum. "I guess I'll clean this up." "You do that." Sneak replied scuttling away. "With you helping me with the new wall." Marty finished grabbing the Parawolf by his back leg holding a dustpan. "Oh dang." Sneak muttered. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The plane began to touch down in the fields of Sweet Apple Acres as Cesar voice could be heard over the speakers. "We are now approaching our destination please stay in the cabin until the plane has come to a complete stop." The plane stopped and the group walked down the stair that materialized to let them get out. "Thank you. Goodbye now. Goodbye." Cesar repeated until Luna was the last to get off and the plane disappeared and Cesar reappeared in front of them. "Well how do you like that, Elements of doubt..." He said with a smile. "Very nice." Luna responded. "Now onto my three wishes." Cesar gasped. "Do my ears deceive me? You are down by ONE lady!" He yelled pointing a finger in Luna's face, to which she moved it out of the way with her magic. " you brought us here yourself. I made no wish of the sort." Cesar raised his finger but it drooped along with his jaw as he realized that's exactly what he did. "All right, but no more freebies unless you might die." Cesar turned seeing Pinkie Pie crestfallen and walked over to her. "Why so glum pink chum?" "I'm happy but it's just, I'm jealous of your powers." "Why not wish for your own?" "Because I know how the deal works. I become a genie but end up being a prisoner of whatever I'm trapped in." "Then just wish to be free too. We got an upgrade, ASTRONOMICAL GALACTIC POWERS!" He said in a grand and booming voice causing a thunderstorm around him before he made it instantly disappear and appeared in a small living room. "Medium moderate living space. But before doing so you must uphold..." Cesar pulled out a handbook and tucked it under his armpit as a majestic light shone behind him. "THE CODE OF THE GENIE!" Pinkie merely blinked then smiled. "Ok. If it's to help others, then sure, I wish to be a free and all powerful genie." Cesar facefaulted but then got up and held his hand out. "Pull my finger." Pinkie looked at him with a deadpan but a smile too. "We're gonna be great friends aren't we?" Pinkie then complied but nothing happened except for a small spark that stung her hoof. Pinkie looked around her body but felt the same. "Did you jip me out of a-' Pinkie's eyes then went impossibly wide as her pupils took in vast knowledge. She saw everything, the creator of the whole universe ponies ever knew, all of Pony history, even the Kul'as War, from both the perspective of Ponies and Kul'as. She even saw the reason the world moved he way it did. Pinkie then exploded in a display of fireworks before putting herself back together. She looked exactly the same, save for how she was now coming up to Twilight in height. Her tail moved in a non-existant wind like a puff of smoke. Pinkie Pie looked at her tail jaw literally agape now. "So awesome." She squeaked out. She then flew off laughing crazily as she rained cake down as if Discord went bad again. Cesar merely looked on with a proud smile under his mask. "I've got a good feeling about that pony." He said confident. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twilight and Chrysalis walked through the fields and were shocked(At least Twilight) that the CMC treehouse was now twisted and the size was no on par with the Apple Family Barn. Twilight looked closely and saw that there was someone locked in a cage inside and ran for it, seeing Mayor Mare locked inside. Using her magic she easily tore off the door and Mayor Mare got out. "Twilight do you think you can explain to me why Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo and Apple Bloom foalnapped me then locked me up in a cage so that repulsive starfish could swoop in for control. And why the Queen of the Changelings is behind you?" "Long story, I'll try and explain it all later but right now Equestria is in danger, again, and We need to save it." Twilight then flew up to the top to get a better view of the area. She looked over the edge and saw nothing that could tell her where the crusaders when something shot a cannon ball barely missing her. Twilight looked behind her and was shocked at what she saw. "Girls? Wait don't tell me you're working for that...burlap starfish... thing." Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo stared at her with evil grins but their eyes as like when Discord hypnotized the elements, then suddenly three things began to scurry around in their manes before hopping up, revealing themselves to be Parawolf's just like Sneak. "We're not working for Oogie we're playing." The one in Apple Bloom's hair said, looking much like Sneak but more devilish looking. "And winning." The one in Sweetie Belle's hair added, looking like a mini female wirewolf. "Want a round Twily?" The fat mini wirewolf on Scootaloo's head. "As if you had a choice!" They said in union enveloping all three of them in separate Wirewolf bodies. Twilight stood at the ready as something began to rustle in the trees before Wirewolf like Bats bursted out of them as Smash, Crash and Cannon sang to a metallica esqe. song. "La la la la la la, la la la la la, la la la la la la, la la la la la! Hail to Mr Oogie, you will never win, When you face the booby traps, they will do you in!" Crash took over as Twilight shot down a few of the bats attacking her and dodged laser shots from them. "First we brought our master back, to get revenge on no good Jack, we knew Twilight would try to fight, So we brought bad guys who attack!" Twilight added herself into the mix, the music turning into a classicla esqe version of the song. Stop! I've had enough of you! Your malicious plan is finished, through! We'll undo all the chaos here, you instilled through using fear! The trio took over causing the music to slip back into it's rock. "Hail to Mr. Oogie put you through the test, Keep you guessing all the time, never let her rest." Each of them began to transform into something as their body parts shifted around. "Then Mr. Oogie Boogie Man." Smash began. "Can take your world over then." Crash continued. "He'll be so pleased I do declare." Cannon finished. They all combined creating a large barreled cannon then fired at Twilight who managed to create a portal to send it back at them. "THAT HE WILL COOK YOU RARE!" They then dispersed stood down Twilight to end the game quickly. "Now that Oogie is the king we'll get away with everything you will not scold us for or pranks to new King Oogie let's give thanks." Cannon sung. Twilight then took to the air, gathering magic in her horn. Don't be foolish, I will send your plan to smitherens, Then you'll face the price as Rainbow Dash beats you both black and green." "Hail to Mr Oogie, this is so much fun, we make mischief day and night are work is never done!" The Trio Sang. "I won't give you any chance, to straighten out your act, you'll never get away with this and that you freaks is faaaaact!" They began to assemble into their cannon form ready to fire. To which Twilight towards them as they began to charge. "I've had enough of this disgrace, so take me to the hidden place, where innocents sit locked in a cage, or you will face my rage!" Twilight rammed straight into them sending the blast into them, causing them to explode, the Crusaders landing safely in some hay on the ground while the Trio stood in a pain dazed while the Element of Honesty descended down for Twilight to grab.
