//------------------------------// // A Kitty's Last Resort // Story: Wander over Yonder (in) The Return to Equestria // by AngelShy24 //------------------------------// Howdy, everyone! It's me, Wander! Boy, Sylvia and Ah have been through a lot lately! We traveled back to the world of Equestria to join our dear pony pals in a huge gigantic birthday celebration of the beautiful Princess Luna in Canterlot! It was all thanks to a letter that Apple Bloom tried to send to us through space! Isn’t that amazing?! Yeah, it was great to see our friends again and spend more time with them! We even met this weird but awesome draconequus guy named Discord. He was a real hoot! But for Sylvia and Ah, we had no idea that we were bein’ followed by someone this entire time. Someone that has been biding their time and waitin’ fer the right moment to come at us. She even cleverly disguised herself so we couldn’t even tell that it was her! She fooled us and all of our pony friends! Yep, Ah’m talkin’ about Little Bits! Poor little thang went through a lot to find us. But guess wut, she finally did! However… seeing that she trapped Sylvia in a net and knocked out a pony soldier and is holding her weapon at me, somethang tells me that this whole situation may not be exactly a good thing. But hey, it's nice to see an old friend, even if that old friend is a cute, little, cold-hearted bounty hunter who wants revenge against us. --------------------- Deep into the Canterlot Palace… inside of the throne room, the kitty bounty hunter, Little Bits had finally completed her task. Along with a knocked out pony soldier, she had finally captured Sylvia in a plasma net; and she had Wander at gunpoint as she held her weapon up to trap him too. Wearing a sinister smile, she was quite happy to finally win. “I’ve… finawy got you. There’s no way for you to get away this time.” “Ugh, Little Bits,” Sylvia groaned, “You know, I had a feeling that someone was stalking us and preparing to pounce on top of us; but I had no idea that it would be you! When I get out of here, I’m gonna…” Right at that moment, Little Bits pressed a button on her weapon that caused the net Sylvia was in to be filled with electricity. It zapped her for a few minutes causing her to scream out loud. “Siwence, Zbownak!” said Little Bits glaring at Sylvia, “You have no idea how wong I’ve waited for this moment. It took me many sneaky twicks and humiwiating endeavors; but now, it's all going to be worth it once I…” “Little Biiiiiiiiiiiiiits!” Wander shouted suddenly catching Little Bits off guard. “What the…” “Ah can’t believe it's you! It's been quite a while since the last time we saw you! And look, yer even still wearin’ the clothes that Ah gave you! How sweet! Ya know, Sylvia told me that back then when we first met ya that you were trickin’ us and was plannin’ to turn us in fer profit. Ah don’t remember much because… Sylvia said that ya hypnotized me with with yer cuteness, but Ah’m sure you had yer reasons. But come now, we’re at huge, gigantic birthday party! So why don’t ya just free Sylvia, put yer weapon down, and we can all enjoy ourselves together! Wut do ya say?!” Little Bits lowered her weapon and was looking at Wander with a low-eyed look and said, “Reawy?” Then she looked over at Sylvia, “Is he sewiouswy that dense?” “Hey, Wander isn’t dense!” Sylvia protested, “He’s just… a little slow to calculate what’s going on sometimes.” “Ah know you’re… kinda bad and have it out for us really much so,” said Wander trying to reason with the bounty hunter, “But think about it; dosen’t it all feel so stressful? Wouldn’t ya rather put aside our differences and instead become best friends?! Ah know that we would have lots of fun toge… WHOA!” Little Bits had taken out a mini laser and fired a shot right beside Wander’s feet and caused him to jump back. Wearing a dark stern glare, Little Bits told him, “Wet me get this thwough your thick, stupid and incompwehensible wittle empty head of yours. I am not your fwiend, I never was your fwiend, and I never will be your fwiend! All I care about is captuwing you and your stupid howse and tuwning you in to Word Hater for money! And once I do, I’ll have the pweasure of watching him torture the wiving daywights out of both of you!” “Still think she wants to be our friend, Wander?” said Sylvia sarcastically. “Okay. So… maybe she’s not so willin’ to be our friend; but it didn’t hurt to try, right?” Little Bits then fired the other weapon trapping Wander in a plasma net as well. “Well this officially sucks,” Sylvia groaned. Little Bits walked over to Sylvia with a smug smile ready to rub her victory in the Zbornak’s face, “So how does it feel, Sylvia… being twicked and outsmarted again by a wittle kitty cat? It must feel… so humiwiating.” “Laugh all you want, Little Bits,” said Sylvia with a similar smirk, “but how exactly are you planning to get away with this anyway? You’re inside a gigantic palace and surrounded by many magical… and non-magical ponies. There’s no way you can sneak us past all of them without being noticed.” “Well that’s no probwem,” said Little Bits with a little chuckle, “Check this out.” She held up a small remote in Wander and Sylvia’s view and pressed the button. Suddenly, the very ship that came to this world in was teleported inside the room without much hassle. “Is that... your ship?!” Sylvia exclaimed. “Technicawy it's Hater’s. I pwanted a teweport beacon on it immediatewy after wanding in that other town just in case such a situation came up. One push of this button and my ship automaticawy teweports to my wocation. Once any of your pony fwiends hears about this, we will have awready cwash thwough these walls and out into the depths of space! So where’s your big tawk of confidence now, Zbownak?!” “Ya have to admit, she’s smarter than she looks,” said Wander to Sylvia. Little Bits then activated a beacon from the ship that picked up Wander and Sylvia and was bringing them to the ship’s inside. “My pwan was awmost wuined though, I have to admit; thanks to those cwusader dowks. But they’re just hanging awound for the time being. So unwess someone else awready knew of this and comes fwom those doors wight now, no one is coming to save you!” But before Wander and Sylvia reached the ship, a burst of magic caused the throne room doors to swing open. From the other side, Twilight Sparkle was there and could already make out what was going on. “Twilight!” Wander shouted. “Say what?!” Little Bits shouted in shock. “I don’t think you’ll be needing that,” said Twilight as she shot a spell on the ship that caused it to shut down and render it useless. “Noooooooooooooooooooooo! She mawfunctioned my ship! Now I can’t make my escape!” Twilight then used her magic to levitate Wander and Sylvia to her and broke them loose from Little Bit’s trap. “And she was able to cut thwough those pwasma nets?! Well actuawy… I’m not that much surpwised about that.” “You have saved us, Princess Twilight,” shouted Wander as he presented a bow, “We are the utmost grateful of yer heroic act.” “You couldn’t have come at a better time,” said Sylvia brushing herself off, “I am quite relived.” “You’re quite welcome,” said Twilight, “I just wished I knew of this sooner.” Twilight then turned her attention back to Little Bits who was snarling under her breath feeling quite miffed of her plan being ruined once again. “So you’re Little Bits. I’ve heard quite a bit of things about you from these two.” “How did you find out so soon?!” Little Bits snarled, “Only those cwusader bwats found out about this. I was quite sure of it.” “Well unfortunately for you, you’ve been causing quite a stir around Canterlot today; accidentally catching others in your traps while trying to capture these two. My Brother, Captain of the Royal Guards and his troops are aware of your antics and he told me. I originally came in here to make sure Wander and Sylvia were safe only to run into the crusaders who told me what happened. Then I took a guessed of where you were and I rushed here just in time… to stop you.” ‘So much for my wevenge pwan,’ Little Bits thought to herself, ‘How could my pwan fail so miserabwy?! If Word Hater finds out about this, I’ll never hear the end of his stupid gwoating mouth.’ Twilight stood at a ready stance, Sylvia was pounding her fist, and Wander was idly standing by. But no matter what, Little Bits knew she was in a troubled spot. “So… are you going to surrender and come quietly,” said Twilight, “or are you going to try and make this difficult? Because bounty hunter or not, I’d hate to get rough with a little kitty cat.” “I wouldn’t,” Sylvia snickered. Little Bits placed her weapon away and lightly smirked as she said, “I guess it's twue that I would be helpwess against you ponies; but…” She then suddenly put on one of her mesmerizing cute faces while looking at Twilight, “would you weally hurt a cutesy face wike this? Tee hee.” Wander who still couldn’t get enough of her cute act was all starry-eyed as he replied “Aw, Ah would never hurt that adorable wittle face.” “Nice try, kitty cat,” said Twilight who was completely unaffected, “but I took in account of your little hypnotizing cute act. So to be on the safe side, I place a counter spell on me on the way here. You can never be too careful.” “For me, her cuteness is nothing special,” said Sylvia. Little Bits then dropped the cute act and said, “Dwat! Oh well, it was worth a shot.” But she immediately took something out of her bag and threw it at them. Whatever it was exploded and covered a strong, sticky substance all over them. No matter how hard they struggled, they couldn’t get loose. “Ah! We’re stuck!” Twilight shouted, “What is this stuff?!” “My my. Aren’t we in a… sticky situation,” said Wander with a slight grin. Little Bits then leapt over Twilight and the alien duo and landed perfectly on her paws as she attempted to escape towards the doors. “What I wack in stwength and size, I make up in smarts, agiwity and prwecision.” LittleBits then made a beeline towards the throne room doors as the others were still struggling to escape their sticky trap. Sylvia shouted, “She’s going to get away!” “See ya waiter, suckers! There’s no way you’re going to catch this cat!” “Wanna bet?” said a sudden southern voice. Little Bits suddenly screeched to a halt as she saw a small team of 5 other ponies standing in her way; the same other ponies that she saw before. She backed away as they came and tried to run the other way, but she suddenly noticed that Twilight finally got Wander, Sylvia and herself out of the sitcky trap they were in. She now felt trapped between them and the other group. “You girls got here fast,” said Twilight. “We sure did!” said Pinkie, “Can you believe that we all just so happened to be together and looking for you to make our little group of friends complete only to run into those adorable crusader fillies who told us about you coming in here to save our alien friends from a cute little kitty who's being really really bad and that we needed to come and assist you and make sure that she didn’t escape! So… here we are!” “That pretty much sums it up,” said Applejack with a light chuckle. “Yeah; and also, does anypony else notice a royal guard pony trapped in some kind of net?” The pony guard that was knocked out earlier was now awake and was struggling to get out of the net he was in. “A little help here.” “Let me get that for you darling,” said Rarity as came over to him and cut him loose with her magic. The pony guard got up and held his head while gaining his composure. And after seeing what he saw, he knew he had a duty to perform. “Thanks. I’m reporting this immediately to Princess Celestia. Do not let that little menace escape!” “Oh you can count on that!” said Twilight. After the guard left, Twilight and all of her friends; as well as Wander and Sylvia began circling all around Little Bits and closing in from all sides. Was there any way she could escape now? “So this is Little Bits?” said Fluttershy with a smile, “Aw, she’s a lot more cuter than I imagined.” “Don’t be fooled,” said Sylvia, “She’s a lot more ruthless than she looks.” Most of them realized that she didn’t look the same way as she was when they first saw her. Applejack was mostly concerned as she said, “Wait… so if this is the same little cat that mah sister and her friends had, then why does she have a different fur color?” “And where’s her beautiful dress?” Rarity added, “I was so inspired by it!” Wander was being curious as well when he thought about it. “Ah was wonderin’ the same thing! How did ya fooled us with that different appearance of yers?” “I’m not tewing any of you anything,” Little Bits replied in a displeased manner, “It's not weally your business anyway.” “Well too bad for you,” said Rainbow Dash, “Your secret is out, you’re completely surrounded, and… I’m guessing that Twilight did something to that ship of yours; so can’t escape that way either. Oh and by the way, your antics that you did out there led to shooting me and the Wonderbolts with sleeping darts... in our butts! Totally not cool!” Wander suddenly snickered softly trying not to laugh out loud. Sylvia arched her eye at him and he responded, “Wut? She said butts. It's funny.” Twilight then told Little Bits, “I’m sure that you already know that Lord Hater, the guy you’re working with had caused some major havoc in our town trying to capture Wander and Sylvia; including holding one of our pony friends hostage. He paid dearly for it.” ‘So... these six are the specific ponies that Word Hater and Peepers were weferring to,’ Little Bits thought to herself, ‘I should’ve thought as much.’ “So trust me, you don’t want to mess with us. Wander and Sylvia are our friends, and anyone trying to bring them to Hater for money revenge have to go through us.” “Aw, that’s so sweet!” said Wander, “I feel so special.” “Well thank you for tewing me things that were awready OBVIOUS TO ME!” Little Bits screeched, “But make no mistake… I have no pwans stawting a whole fight; but I have no pwans of being captured either. Especiawy not by a bunch a pansy ponies.” “Well that’s no problem,” said Sylvia pounding her fists, “I could do that all on my own.” Little Bits then found herself being levitated in the air by Twilight’s magic and brought to her as she said, “Sorry, but she has no choice. I’m pretty sure that Princess Celestia wants the troublemaker that has caused a ruckus around here to be found and brought to her. But don’t worry, I’m sure that she’ll go easy on you once she sees that you’re just a kitty cat with a nasty attitude.” Little Bits glared at her but then showed a little smirk as she said, “Don’t count on it.” Then quick on the reflex again, Little Bits quickly reached in her bag and pulled out an object too small for anyone to see right away; and before anyone could stop her, she threw it down to the ground releasing a blinding explosion of light that caused everyone to cover their eyes. “Whoa, so bright!” said Wander in excitement. “I-I-I-I can’t see anything!” Twilight shouted. Once the light died down, they all looked around and saw that Little Bits was not in their view anymore. “Where did she go?!” said Sylvia. They all suddenly turned to the throne room doors where Little Bits was just standing behind and sneering back at them. “You may have stopped me, but this is far fwom over! I’ll get my wevenge one way or another.” “Get back here, ya little furball!” shouted Rainbow Dash as she tried to catch her. But at the right moment, Little Bits slammed the doors closed causing Rainbow Dash to crash right into them and slid back down to the ground. “Wow, she’s really good!” said Pinkie, “She outsmarted all of us!” “What did I tell ya;” Sylvia claimed, “never underestimate that little cat. She is a bounty hunter for a reason.” After getting back up, Rainbow Dash opened the doors back up and saw Little Bits in the distance just turning a corner. “There’s she goes! After her!” Everyone began running off in the direction Little Bits went with Rainbow Dash leading the way. “I’ll go on ahead and catch her!” she said as went on ahead towards the hall corner, “There’s no way she can outrun meeeeeeeee!” But as she reached the corner, Rainbow Dash tripped up another trap that caught her in a tie-up bind. She groaned in frustration of actually being tricked by someone like Little Bits. “Um… Rainbow Dash?” said Fluttershy who flew up beside her, “Maybe it's not wise to rush in so quickly when going after this kitty.” “Point made,” Rainbow Dash groaned. Because of her size and fast agility, Little Bits was way ahead of the others. But she knew that she needed to find somewhere to hide out until she knew what to do next. “I need somewhere to hide; somewhere where those idiots won’t think to try and find me.” She then saw a pony guard up ahead who was guarding a door that was behind him; and a mischievous thought came to her mind. “Ooh, that’ll do.” The pony guard was standing at attention making sure he was fulfilling his duty. But then, he was a bit startled as he heard a cute sounding voice say, “Excuse me, mister?” The pony guard looked down in front of him and saw Little Bits looking up at him in a pleading stance and showing her shimmering eyes. The guard couldn’t look away as he felt himself being drawn in by her cuteness. “Awwww. Aren’t you just the cutest little thing I ever did see.” “I’m sowy to bother you,” Little Bits continued, “but there’s a whole gwoup of meanies back there who want to hurt me.” “Oh no, how terrible! Why would anyone want to hurt a little cutie like you?!” Continuing her cute charm, Little Bits said, “Is it okay if I hide behind that door that’s behind you, pweeeeeeeease?” “Well… this door is off limits, but… I suppose there’s no harm for a cute little kitty like you.” The pony guard then stepped to the side and unlocked the door for Little Bits to go through. She looked up at him again and said, “Thank you, vewy much; and don’t tell anyone I’m here, okay?” “I won’t. I promise.” “Thanks for the cover… ya cwuewess fool.” Once Little Bits closed the door, the guard woke up from his trance a few seconds afterwards. He felt as if something weird happened to him. “Whoa… what just happened?” Pretty soon, he suddenly saw Twilight and the others coming his way from down the hall he was on. Twilight came up to him and asked, “Hey! Did you see a little purple cat wearing some weird orange, furry clothing come through here?” “I… I-I’m not so sure,” said the guard while rubbing his head, “I remember… something coming through here, but… I don’t… my mind is a bit hazy.” “Yeah, she’s been through here,” said Sylvia, “She must’ve did her little cutesy act again on him to trick him into not telling us where she is.” “Listen to me,” said Twilight to the guard, “there’s a little kitty vigilante on the loose in here. She’s the one causing the trouble going on here around the city! Go find my Brother and help the others be on the lookout! This cat does not leave this castle… or town!” Quickly bowing to Twilight, the guard responded, “U-u-u-understood, Princess!” “Well look at you go around and giving orders as a Princess,” said Rarity, “You’re really getting into your role.” “Come on, everypony…” said Twilight, “and aliens, she shouldn’t have gone too far. Let's keep looking!” “Yay!” shouted Pinkie feeling pumped, “Let's do this!” “Calm yourself, Pinkie,” said Rarity. As they all continued on, Wander just stood there thinking out loud, “All this for a cute little kitty bounty hunter?” “Wander…” said Sylvia. “I know, I know. But I just hope that she does come quietly in the end.” They both then took off after the others as Sylvia said, “For your sake, I hope so too; but don’t get your hopes up. Little Bits won’t give up so easy.” Lucky for Little Bits, none of them paid any attention to the door that the pony guard had been standing in front of. Little Bits heard everything and realized that her escape plan worked. “Puuuuwfect. Those fools have no idea that I’m even in here; which means I’m safe… for now. So now… I need to come up with another cwever pwan to outsmart those magical ponies.” Just then, Little Bits noticed that there was a stairway behind her that led downward. Of course being a cat, she was curious enough to follow the stairs to see where they led… hoping that she wouldn’t run into any trouble. But once she reached the bottom, she ran into another door that had no doorknob; but instead had a lock that was unlockable by magic. “Well isn’t that great,” said Little Bits to herself, “a door with a wock that I’m guessing can only be opened by Unicorn magic… or at least Unicorn magic that’s stwong enough anyway. There must be something vewy important on the other side.... But what?” Little Bits then just sighed as she leaned her paw against the door and said, “Well, what do I care anyway? As wong as I have a secwet pwace to wecupewate, nothing else intewests me.” Right at that moment however, the door suddenly became transparent and caused Little Bits to fall right through it. She noticed what happened and became confused. “What the… how did… okay.” With caution, she slowly walked through the rest of the now transparent door. Once she went through, she couldn’t believe what she saw. A huge room with many shelves that held different vials of potions. There was a lot of them, and no two vials were the same. “These are a wot of potions,” said Little Bits as she walked around exploring the room, “There’s possibwy a spell for evewy single one. But why would ponies even have potions if they can just use magic? That doesn’t make much sense to me.” Eventually, she came upon a certain section in the room that had shelves embedded in the wall. It contain even more vials of potions, but they were blocked off by a magical barrier that Little Bits couldn’t get through. Now she was more curious than ever. “What are these potions I wonder? What makes these so special that they’re pwaced behind this stwong bawier and the others aren’t?” “Oh… these potions are more special than you think,” said a mysterious voice that suddenly appeared in the room. Little Bits almost jumped out of her fur when she heard that someone was there with her. She pulled out a laser gun and was pointing it all around. “Wh-wh-who said that? Who’s there?! Whoever you are… I-I-I’m not scared of you!” But all the voice said was, “You want to have your revenge, am I right? Perhaps I can help you.” But Little Bits wasn't buying it, “I don’t need anyone’s help! I’ll figuwe my way out of this myself somehow!” The voice spoke once again, “Just admit it; you’re stressed, and completely out of options. You know for a fact that you stand no chance against those ponies; and they won't allow you to get anywhere near Wander and Sylvia. I just bet you were thinking of using some of these potions to try and get the upper hand, weren't you?” Little Bits was still a bit freaked out hearing someone that she couldn’t even see. But she knew that it was right as she placed her weapon away. She sighed and then said in discourage, “Okay… fine; maybe I was thinking that. So what do you suggest I do, stupid voice in my head?” “For you, the best solution is to fight fire with fire; gain some magic of your own.” “Well what if I did? It not wike any of these stupid potions would help me against those ponies; especiawy those fweaking Awicorns.” The voice had a little chuckle as it said, “Well then… I do believe that I have just the potion for you.” Suddenly, Little Bits saw one of the potions behind the magical barrier come out through it on her side. It slowly descended down and was placed in Little Bits’ paws; and she sniffed it catching the wife of a sweet yet unique smell. “Drink this,” the voice said, “and those ponies will no longer stand a chance against you… and your revenge will be certain.” Seeing that she was out of options with no way out of her situation, Little Bits decided to chance this opportunity to ensure that her victory would be complete. “Well… only one way to find out.” -------------------- Twilight and her friends were still searching around the palace for Little Bits unaware of the secret room in which she was at. They couldn’t find her anywhere and they were wondering if they actually lost her. “Geez… that little cat is fast!” said Twilight feeling exasperated, “We've looked all around here and there's no sign of her!” Everyone else was tired from running around the castle as well. However, Pinkie jumped up and shouted, “Come on, everypony! We can't give up yet! We must keep trying!” “That’s easy for you to say,” Rarity whined, “You’re not the one with aching hooves.” “Do ya think that she still even in the palace?” said Wander to Sylvia. “Who knows; but this is a very big place. She could be anywhere!” “Or…” said Fluttershy, “um… she might be right over there.” Everyone suddenly turned towards where Fluttershy’s hoof was pointing; and they were all surprised to suddenly see Little Bits a little ways from them down the current hall. She was looking at them smirking and waving her paw while shouting, “Wooking for me, pony wosers?! Why don't you twy and catch me... if you can!” “Oh no, I'm not falling for one of her traps again!” said Rainbow Dash, “Lets all get her together!” With another chance to catch her, they all took off after Little Bits again. Of course Little Bits still gave chase and was leaving little small hindrances behind her just enough so Twilight and the other couldn’t catch her right away. “Have any of ya’ll noticed of how she keeps pulling out those doohickeys of hers out of that little bag?” Applejack questioned, “How does she fit it all?!” “Maybe it's a circus act!” said Wander. “Ooh, I love circuses!” said Pinkie in excitement. Eventually, their chase led to the final corridor that led to the outside of the palace. Little Bits was making a mad sprint for the dual doors in an attempt to escape. “We have to catch her;” shouted Rainbow Dash, “she's almost at the front doors!” “No need to worry,” said Twilight with a sudden smile on her face, “There’s no way that kitty is getting away.” Little Bits reached the doors and busted through as proceeded to the grounds where she figured she would lose them again. “Ha! See you waiter, suckers!” But as she reached the bottom of the stairs, “Whoa!” she screeched to halt as she suddenly saw a small crowd of pony soldiers blocking her path. An with them were the three other Alicorns that she saw from before. Princess Celestia and Luna; as well as Princess Cadence. “Ah dang.” “That’s far enough, little critter,” said Celestia with a slight scowl. Little Bits turned back around only to see Twilight and the others approaching her from the other side. “See, what did I tell you,” said Twilight, “She has nowhere to run.” “Nice!” Sylvia chuckled, “What are you going to do now, Little Bits?!” Luna was looking at Little Bits with curiosity and questioned, “Is this little cat really the one who has caused all of the trouble that has gone on today?” “It would appear so;” said Cadence, “but how could she? She’s so small and adorable” “She may look adorable,” said Celestia, “but apparently she's a dangerous and crazy intergalactic bounty hunter according to one of our guards.” That very guard was slightly shaking and stated, “Do not trust those adorable eyes! They're a complete lie!” Little Bits realized that she was cornered and had nowhere to get away, “Well… this is a major pwedicament.” However, she stayed surprisingly calm for someone who was completely surrounded. “Little Bits, is it?” said Celestia, “I’m afraid you've been causing too much turmoil around here. Today is a very special day and I will not allow such meddlesome acts to continue, especially your plan to capture our two extraterrestrial guest.” Little Bits didn’t like being talked down to. She was beginning to reach in her bag to grab something, but Celestia reminded her, “And don’t bother with those gadgets of yours. No tricks you have left will help you from this point.” Little Bits then held up both of her paws in the air with a little smirk as she said, “Okay, you all got me. I am one dangewous kitty, but I can’t possibwy take on all of you at once. You’ve all got the best of me, and my pwan is compwetwy wuined…” She then suddenly wiped out the the small potion vile she obtained earlier and held up, “or is it?!” Everyone jumped back and got on the defensive upon seeing what she pulled out. They weren’t sure what she was going to do, but Celestia stared at the vile in Little Bits’ paws as she wonder, “Wait… that’s not…” Little Bits then drunk and swallowed the small amount of the potion in the vile; then smashed the vile down on the ground. “What did she just drink?” said Twilight in a panicked tone. “I don’t know,” said Sylvia, “but get back; who knows what she’s about to do!” “Oh yeah!” said Little Bits, “That… had a surprisingly sweet yet tangy taste to it. Ooh, you ponies are in for it now!” Little Bit just stood there with an excited look on her face waiting for the potion’s effect to happen. Everyone else wasn’t taking any chances and were waiting and preparing for whatever was about to happen. But after more than 10 seconds went by, nothing had happened yet. “Um… was something major supposed to happen just now?” said Fluttershy. Little Bits was suddenly looking a bit sheepish as she said “Just a sec… any minute now.” Nothing was still happening. It was beginning to look like whatever Little Bits drunk was a dud and had left her hanging. “Well… this just got soooooo awkward all of a sudden,” Wander whispered. “Talk about your anti-climatics,” said Sylvia with a smirk. “Well that happen,” said Luna, “Will somepony please contain this cat? And make sure to confiscate that bag of hers too.” Celestia suddenly sighed as she thought to herself, ‘Maybe it's not what I thought it was after all.’ Some of the pony guards started approaching Little Bits upon the orders that Luna gave to them. Little Bits was feeling frustrated that her backup plan had failed her as she shouted, “Ugh! Are you sewious?! Why in the bwue bwazing heck did nothing happen?! That’s the wast time I wisten to a voice inside my…” But suddenly, Little Bits’ jerked a bit and she fell on her paws suddenly groaning and lightly whining as clutched her waist. The pony guards approaching suddenly backed away upon seeing this. It seemed that the potion was finally taking effect. “What’s happenin’ to her?!” Wander shouted. “Nothing good I bet,” said Sylvia. “W-w-what’s… happening… to me?!” shouted Little Bits. Just then, Little Bits’ body began growing in size; but not just a little. She was growing at huge rate. Her backpack’s straps broke off and her outfit tore to shreds. Her high pitch voice suddenly sound more like a low growly voice as her claws flexed out and teeth grew sharper. Once it was done,Little Bits was a giant, hulking purple cat now towering at more than 50 ft over everyone. Everyone couldn’t believe how the situation could change so drastically; and now, the celebration was in major jeopardy. “Uh… girls,” said Twilight hesitantly, “we may have a problem.” “Oh yeah;” said Little Bits looking at herself and then looking down at the others with a menacing snarl, “now this is something! Wanna twy to contain me now, ponies?!” “Well, I can honestly say…” said Sylvia while gaping at the now giant kitty, “I didn’t see this coming.”
