//------------------------------// // Chapter 23: The Seven Deadly Warriors of New Burbank (part 3) // Story: Rise of the Titans (edited) // by darkmage1997 //------------------------------// Meanwhile, in a driving course, A mysterious figure stood in the middle of what appeared to be a driving course attraction, "Hehehe, which ever of those foolish Fujiyama brothers enters here, they'll be destroyed the minute they set a pinkie toe onto this course," the figure said. Just then, he noticed Raiden, Francisco, Heiru, Celestia, Luna, Chris, Timmy, Drake, Applejack and Pinkie Pie approaching the driving course. "Think this is one of those arenas?" Applejack asked. "Possibly, but it may be unlikely," Raiden replied. "That's where you're wrong!" they all heard the mysterious figure say, "I'm Auto, the best looking of the Seven Deadly Warriors!" Auto said, as he came out of the shadows. He was just a man with a car for a head, "And how unfortunate for you, that you've come here. My arena is the deadliest of all the ones in the park. This is where the signs are possessed, and your driving instructors are zombies!" Auto exclaimed evilly. "You fiend!" Luna said, as she began charging her horn. She was stopped by Celestia. "Hold on Luna. This is their fight, not ours. So we mustn't interfere," Celestia said. Reluctantly, Luna nodded. "And guess what, the cars here are possessed, so when you try to drive them, they attack you!" Auto exclaimed, as a couple cars attack him instead of our heroes, "Oh yeah, the street signs are also possessed, so they trick you into going the wrong way, and you get lost forever!" Auto exclaimed, as he was running around, as his street signs were getting him lost, "And just before your driving test, the zombies blindfold you, so you can't see!" Auto exclaimed, as he was pulled back by the zombies, "These zombies may be chewing on me, but they're coming for you!" Auto exclaimed, before realizing something, "HEY! Have you zombies forgotten who you work for?!?" Auto yelled at the zombies, cars, and signs. "Sorry, but they aren't going to loose," Timmy said, from inside Auto's head. "Hey! Who said you can drive my head?! GET OUTOF MY HEAD!" Auto demanded, but Timmy chose to remain inside Auto's head, "Why you..." Auto cut himself off when an idea popped in his head, 'Maybe I can use this to my advantage,' he thought to himself. "What are you doing Timmy?!" Luna demanded, her eyes bulging at the sight of her son in Auto's head. "I have an idea. How's about we form teams? This little tyke will be my partner," Auto cackled evilly as the doors on his head locked, trapping Timmy inside. "We need to be carful in how we take on Auto. We can't afford to harm Timmy," Raiden said. "Leave that bit to me. You guys focus on Auto," Francisco said, as he used his spacial powers to pull Timmy out of Auto's head. "Timmy, I'm so glad your safe!" Luna exclaimed, "Careful next time!" she said. "Ok Mommy," Timmy replied. "Alright, now that Timmy's out of harms way, we can now attack Auto!" Raiden exclaimed, as he and Heiru went to attack Auto. "I don't think so! Go get them you possessed cars!" Auto ordered to the cars, who all charged at the two brothers. Raiden was able to stop them with just his bare hands, "No, part one of his test he passed. He stopped the cars without hitting the gas! That means I have to give him a perfect score on his parking! Go get them you possessed signs!" Auto ordered. Heiru was the one who stopped the signs by slashing through them, "No, part two, its so grand! He makes signals by using his hands! Another perfect score for turning! Alright zombies, now its your turn!" Auto ordered. The three brothers combined their might to take down the zombies, "NO! Well, attack them all together!" Auto ordered, and one after another, cars, signs, and zombies all charged at the three brothers, "Welp, there's no way they'll survive an onslaught like that, so I'll go ahead and mail away their failed test scores," Auto said proudly. He was stopped by an explosion from behind him. Looking back towards the three brothers, he saw the three of them, standing on top of his henchmen. "Don't go mailing that letter," Raiden said, as his, and his brothers power began to build up. 'N-no way! I never thought they'd be THIS strong! Could it be that I am the only one who never passed the driving test?!' Auto thought to himself. Back with Toby and the gang... Nyx, Sweetie Belle, and the other magic users tried to pry the magic blockers off themselves, but it wasn't working. Toby, Cory, Nathan, and the others tried to find a way to escape, but every time they found one, they get electrocuted by their tags. "This isn't working," Cory finalized. It was then when it dawned on Nyx. "I've got it!" she exclaimed. "So, what's the plan?" Cory asked. "We should escape." Nyx said. "But how would that work? It's not like we can just walk at the front door. We could try to fool them in disguises." Toby agreed. "Yeah, but we can't go all at once. Some of us stay here for watch, and alert us in case someone comes to check on us." Silver Spoon planned. "Group 1 will be Toby, Joshua, Cory, Kelly, me, Silver Spoon, Apple Bloom, and Season Harvest. Group 2 will be Serenity, Trinity, Vibrant Sky, Crystal, Nathan, and Sweetie Belle. Group 3 will be the rest of the kids. Group 1 will tell the guards they need to 'use' the restroom. While in there, Cory will put some microphones on some of John Clark's top henchmen on their necks. If they are not there, then Joshua will ask for some more toilet paper to 'use'. Toby and Cory will trip the henchmen unconscious, and Joshua will wrap them, and will close the restrooms with disabling the locks. Then Group 1 will wear the henchmen's clothes, and will try to see John Clark's latest scheme. Then they will try to get the keys to our cells." Diamond Tiara planned. "Right. As our cells open, Group 2 will go to the kitchen. They will find any weapon of use to ambush more of John's minions. Then during at a few minutes, they will try to make a distraction for the remaining deadly warriors of some sort." Apple Bloom said. "And Group 3 will reunite with Group 1 and Group 2 to team up together to take out John Clark. Then we will send some signals to our family that we are fine." Scootaloo said. "Alright!" the children cheered as they high-fived/hoofed. Back with the battle against Bard, Explosions could be seen, as Bard did his best to keep up with Brian and Icezer's attacks, as the two brothers barraged Bard with ice and fire blasts, "I got to admit, you guys are more powerful than what Master John had told me and the other warriors," Bard said. "Well, you're not too bad a fighter yourself," Brian commented, as he flung another fireball at Bard. Bard retaliated by summoning a fire barrier to block the fireball. "Of course, you're not much of a fighter if you just use defense," Icezer said, as he flung some icicles at Bard, who blocked them with an ice barrier. "Man, these barriers are a real pain," Brian commented. "We can't land a solid attack on him unless we get rid of them," Icezer added. Then, it dawned on him, "I got it!" Icezer said, as he whispered his plan to his brother. "That could actually work!" Brian exclaimed. Bard, along with Rarity and Rainbow Dash had curious looks on their faces. "What are you two up to?" Bard asked. But his eyes widened in fear as the two brothers began to fuse their fire and ice powers together, "No, you can't be serious!?" Bard demanded, as the power between the two brothers began to build up even more. "What's going on?!" Rainbow Dash wondered. "I have no idea, but if I were to guess, Brian and Icezer are combining their powers for an even bigger attack," Rarity theorized. "But I thought those two had polar opposite powers? How can they combine them?" Rainbow Dash asked. Out of nowhere, Pinkie appeared in a lab coat. "Perhaps Professor Pinkie Pie can explain!" Pinkie exclaimed, as she pulled out a chalkboard, "You see, the Fujiyama brothers, as well as many more of the mutants have the ability to combine their powers to form an even stronger attack. This is what is referred to as a 'Unison Raid'. Two Mutants are the required number in order to use this new super strong super power. Normally, as Rainbow Dash said, fire and ice would cancel one another out, but in the case of Brian and Icezer, since the two are brothers, they can easily bypass this logic, and form an attack that possess the forces of fire and ice. The other Fujiyama brothers, along with their friends, like Eliza and Naomi, are able to use Unison Raids as well. For example, if Brian and Raiden were to do a Unison Raid, seeing as they posses fire and thunder attributes respectively, the two powers would double each others attack strength tenfold. And with that, class is dismissed!" Pinkie said, as she disappeared behind some books. "I don't think any of us will ever understand that mare," Rarity commented. Just then, a massive explosion could be heard, which brought hers and Rainbow Dash's attention back to the fight. All around the library, fire and ice could be seen scattered across the floor, as Bard fell to the floor, completely unconscious. "Wow!" was all Rainbow Dash could say. Just then, a wall disintegrated, revealing the prison that Bard was guarding. "Another prison," Rarity said, as Brian smashed up the computer holding all the captured mutants, releasing them. "We're free!" one of the mutants happily cried. "'Dear Diary, today is probably the happiest in all my life!'" another mutant said, writing in her diary. It was then when a girl, and three boys approached the four rescuers. The girl was dressed up like a farm girl, with red hair in braids, and blue eyes. Her attire consisted of a black t-shirt and overalls. One of the boys had ridiculously large eyebrows, and was dressed in an oriental outfit, similar to Raiden's. Another of the boys had pale green hair, and the type of clothing a higher class person would wear. The third boy was the most muscular of the three boys. He had shaggy orange hair and green eyes. "Hey guys, good to see you all again," Brian said. "Well it sure took you long enough!" the third boy angrily yelled. "Don't be rude Lucas," the large eyebrow boy scolded. "Don't worry Simon. Its all cool," Icezer said. "Well, we're sure glad y'all came to rescue us," the country girl commented. "I agree with Cassidy. It was a true stroke of luck when you all came along," the regal dressed boy said, eyeing Icezer with a glare, "So, still talented with your ice powers?" he asked. "I am Carlos, and I bet I can beat you without trying!" Icezer said, butting heads with Carlos. "I wouldn't bet on that, poser!" Carlos retorted. "Are they always like this?" Rainbow Dash whispered to Rarity and the other mutants. "You have NO idea," Simon replied. "You may have best Bard, but you will pose no threat to me," a voice said, as the two brothers, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, and the four new friends were engulfed in black fire, and transported away. "Where'd they go?!" one of the mutants demanded. Back at the fight with Auto, The battle had been greatly tipped in the favor of the three brothers, as Auto struggled to keep standing, 'Man, these outlaws are even more powerful than what Master John had told me. I just hope the others are having better luck than I am,' Auto thought to himself. "Are you ready to admit defeat?" Raiden asked, as he began charging more electricity. "Never! I am a law enforcement officer, trained to deal with mutants like you!" Auto snapped. It was then when an idea hit him. 'Of course! I may not be able win against them in a physical battle, but maybe I can bribe them into letting me win!' Auto smirked on the inside at his plan, "Hold on boys. Lets not fight," Auto said. "What are you on about?" Francisco asked. "I tell you what, you boys give me a shopping list, I'll go get what you want. What do you say?" Auto asked, as the three brothers wrote down their shopping lists, 'Heh, this is perfect, while they're distracted, I can strike!' Auto thought to himself. However, his face was met with three fists. "Here's our shopping lists!" Heiru angrily bellowed. "How can you be done so quick!?!? Take your time making them! At least make them poetic!" Auto snapped back. The three brothers shot each other questioning looks, "Poetic shopping lists?" Raiden asked, quirking an eyebrow. "Well, yeah," Auto replied. He was then met with a series of attacks from the three brothers. "Not happening!" Raiden bellowed, as Auto fell to the ground, completely unconscious. "Besides, how can we even put a shopping list into poem form?" Heiru asked. "That does sound rather difficult," Celestia commented. Just then, a ramp opened up in the middle of the course, leading down to a lower level. Going down the ramp, the group found the prison that Auto had been guarding, "This prison seems larger than the first one," Celestia commented. "Most likely it was used to hold more mutants," Raiden said, as he destroyed the computer holding the mutants. The cells opened up, and all the mutants rejoiced in their freedom. Three girls approached the group. One was wearing a dress that had a spider web design on it. She had pale blonde hair and green eyes. The second girl was dressed in oriental attire, similar to Raiden's outfit. She had dark purple hair and blue eyes. The third girl had tan skin, and had black hair and blue eyes. "Well, this certainly is a surprise," the first girl commented. "Agreed, but nevertheless, we're grateful for you guys rescuing us," the second girl said. "It was our pleasure Claire," Raiden replied. "Are these friends of yours?" Celestia asked. "Yeah, their names are Claire, Maria, and April," Francisco replied, motioning to the girls in respective order, wrapping an arm around April's shoulder. April in turn, cuddled closer to Francisco. "If I were to guess, the three of you have defeated Auto?" Claire asked. "Yeah, and The Sandman," Raiden replied. "But why? The Seven Warriors of New Burbank have been trained to deal with all types of mutant power," Maria commented, as Francisco and April made out with each other, "WILL YOU TWO STOP FOR JUST A SECOND!" Maria hissed. "The reason is in here," Raiden said, pulling John Clark's diary from his hat. "Wow, even Naomi wouldn't decorate her diary this girly," Claire commented, as Raiden opened the diary up to the page that sparked their rebellion. When the girls finished reading it, they were outraged. "Oh, this means war!" April exclaimed. "Master John doesn't have time to play with you kids, but I on the other hand," a girls voice said, as the three brothers, three girls, and the rest of the group were engulfed in black fire. When the flames disappeared, they were all gone.
