//------------------------------// // Operation: A.P.P.E.A.R. Part 5 // Story: Codename: Foals Next Door // by cyberlord4444 //------------------------------// Numbuh 362 looked over the remains of Sector V's treehouse. As the Supreme Leader of the Kids Next Door, she didn't have time to mourn for them, but she could do what she could to ensure that no other Sectors met the same fate. Glancing over to her left, she saw Numbuh 74.239 approaching. "Report." "Whatever this was, it was massive. Preliminary results indicated that over 7 kajilion joules of energy were at work." "Hah, it was probably one of those stupid boys doing one of their stupid experiments and getting himself blown up like a stupidhead," scoffed Numbuh 86. Numbuh 362 sighed, Numbuh 86 was her right hand for a reason, but her dislike of boys could get annoying real fast. "Definitely not, this was the work of something that originated outside the treehouse," Numbuh 74.239 countered. "Well, whatever it is we need to find out who's responsible," Numbuh 362 said, "and break out the root beer, Sector V deserves a proper send-off." "That won't be necessary," said Numbuh 74.239. "What do you mean." "The area is saturated with Trans-Dimesionarialisim energy. From what we've been able to gather, Sector V has been sent to another plane of reality." "Then find out which one and how to bring them back!" Numbuh 362 yelled. As Numbuh 74.239 ran off, Numbuh 362 turned back towards the site, "Don't worry guys, we'll save you, no matter what kind of nightmare you're in." "Party Time!!!" Pinkie and Numbuh 3 yelled exuberantly. After Discord was re-petrified, Pinkie had wasted zero time in setting up a party to celebrate. And once Numbuh 3 caught wind of it, she immediately started to help. The end result was the biggest party anyone had ever seen, although not everyone was enjoying it. "Numbuh 4, what's wrong with you this time?" Numbuh 5 asked. "I thought we'd be going home after beating Discord, but now we're at a girly party with a bunch of girly ponies." "Come on, did you really think it would be that easy? Numbuh 2 needs some time to figure out how we got here, let alone how to go back, just relax and enjoy the party." Numbuh 4 just grumbled, "Fine, but if this party's lame, I'm out." As it turned out, he needn't have worried. While at first glance it looked a bit girly for his tastes, the games were fun, the music catchy, and the food, well let's just say it was the highlight. "Numbuh 5's more of a candy girl, but this cake aint too bad." "You said it," Numbuh 4 replied, before stuffing his face. "Numbuh 4, Numbuh 5, glad to see you're enjoying the party," said Numbuh 1 as he walked over. "Numbuh 5 thinks we should have a party after every mission," said Numbuh 5 "I'll take it under advisement. Anyway, Numbuh 2's already trying to find out how we got here so we can get home, can I count on you to do the same?" "No problem, Numbuh 5 always gets the goods." "Excellent, we need to inform KND Moonbase about this new weapon as soon as possible." "Hey, who are they?" Numbuh 4 said, pointing. Numbuh 1 and 5 turned to see that two new Ponies had appeared. "Apple Bloom told me about those 2," Numbuh 5 said, "those are the Princesses, Celestia and Luna." "And you didn't mention them before why?" asked Numbuh 1. "Because I didn't think we'd meet 'em," Numbuh 5 replied. Numbuh 1 sighed, "Well anyway, is there anything else we should know about them?" "Not sure," Numbuh 5 said as she had another forkful of cake, "the girls didn't know a whole lot about them. All they really knew is that they're a fourth race called alicorns, have butt-loads of magic, are over a thousand years old, and control the sun and moon." Numbuh 1 raised an eyebrow, "Control the sun and moon, really?" "We're on another planet, where magic is real, and fought a mishmash of monster parts who made a battalion of tanks that shot pillows out of nothing with a bunch of lights that came from The Book and turned into weapons, and are now ponies, and that's what you find unbelievable?" Numbuh 1 sighed, "I suppose you have a point." Numbuh 5 grinned in satisfaction before turning to look at the princesses, "I wonder." "Wonder what?" asked Numbuh 1. "If those two are so good with magic, maybe they know how to get us back home!" Numbuh 1 grinned, "Excellent work Numbuh 5, let's question these princesses and get them to send us home." Numbuhs 1 and 5 walked over to the princesses, Numbuh 4 was currently on his 5th slice of cake, who were currently talking to Twilight. "Honestly, when the Elements did nothing, I could have sworn my heart stopped," Twilight said, "if it wasn't for those Element of Victory foals, I honestly don't know what would have happened." "Yes, it always pays to have a backup plan, isn't that right dear sister?" Luna asked, looking like the cat that swallowed the canary. Celestia sighed, "Yes Luna, your summoning spell saved the day, when are you ever going to let us forget that?" "Hmm, remind me sister, how long do alicorns live again?" As Celestia groaned, Numbuh 1 interjected, "Pardon me, but if I understand correctly, are you the one who called us here?" "That I am," Luna said before dipping into a deep bow, "on behalf of my entire kingdom, thank you." "No problem, you actually saved us from a bit of a bad spot, so consider it just repaying the favor," Numbuh 5 said. "While I agree that we were more than happy to help deal with this Discord fellow, we're needed back home as soon as possible," Numbuh 1 said. "Er, are you sure you don't want to stay for the party?" Luna asked, somewhat evasively. "I suppose it would be rude to leave in the middle of this lovely party, but right after we need to get home." "Well, um, you see the thing is," Luna blushed, "I don't know how to send you back." Numbuh 5 stuck her hoof in her ear to clean it out, "Would you mind repeating that? Numbuh 5 didn't quite catch that." "Well, you see, the thing is, I got the spell to summon you from a book, and the book didn't, exactly, have a reverse spell." Numbuh 1's eye twitched as Numbuh 5 covered her ears, knowing what was about to happen. End Transmission "WHAT!?"
