Ra-Ra Rescue in Las Pegasus – Part 1 (feat. Everybody's Kung-Fu Fighting)
The 3 Dudes were later in Las Pegasus, sitting at a table of a cafe, holding papers of the Equestria Daily, covering their faces, before lowering them slightly to reveal their paper thin undercover appearances.
Discord is wearing an orange zoot suit and a mustache, with a matching top hat, Big Mac wore a cowboy hat and a mustache, while Spike simply wore a white fedora with a red feather.
"I hope Flick and the Myrmidons are right about this," Spike sighed. "From what they told us, Rara is next up on Princess Porcina's list of beautiful ponies to kidnap!"
"And what's more, Princess Poricina's planning to make an appearance here in Las Pegasus," Discord added. "She aims to do whatever it takes to upstage Rara and any pony who gets in her way from stealing the spotlight all to herself."
"Eeyup."
"She's quite the attention hog, isn't she?" Discord asked, cueing a rimshot. "Oh yes I did." Puns aside, Discord cleared his throat as he went back on track. "But seriously though, even if she manages upstage or sabotage the show, that will never make her any more beautiful than Rara, let alone Fluttershy."
"Or Rarity," Spike added.
"Or Sugar Belle," Big Mac swooned.
"Besides, let me tell you," Discord began. "She's very hard to look at, and her singing is terrible."
"Well, however she looks or sing, that's not going to stop us from stopping her!" Spike frowned. "Remember! We're here to protect Rara and rescue our friends!"
"Eeyup!"
Somewhere in Las Pegasus
In a secluded area, hidden away from the public's eyes, gazing angrily through a looking glass, is none other but the Dudes' arch-nemesis, Princess Porcina.
"It's those meddling boys!" Princess Porcina snorted in fury. "Of all the places and timing of it all, how can they be here? Ooh! They make so mad with their constant meddling! No matter, they're not going to ruin this moment for me! You three will make sure of that!" She snorted, turning to three vicious figures, who all let out maniacal laughters in response, as they took their leaves.
Suddenly, the sound of cheering and claps caught Porcina's attention as she turns back to her looking glass to see her next target – the young pop star, Countess "Rara" Coloratura.
The mare was walking on the red carpet, surrounded by bodyguards, as she greets her adoring fans with a smile and a wave.
"Hmph! Look at that commoner!" Porcina snorted in jealousy. "What makes her think she's so pretty? A big star? Ha!" With a stomp of indignity, Porcina walked over to a makeup table, where she begins to apply some makeups on her. "I'm prettier! I'm still prettier! I was the beauty queen of Hogtopia! It's these ponies who have no respect for perfection and flawless beauty, such as I!"
"Boys!" Rara shouted excitedly from the looking glass. Turning her head, Porcina watched as Rara and the 3 Dudes ran up to each other and shared a big hug.
"Hey Rara!" Spike greeted. "It's so great that you could make it!"
"Well I couldn't disappoint my publics, can I?" Rara asked rhetorically. "Especially for the children."
"Especially for the children, blech!" Porcina mocked.
"Still, you're kinda putting yourself in danger here," Spike replied. "Especially with Princess Porcina and all of her monsters going on a kidnapping spree as of late."
"Eeyup."
"I'm not too worried," Rara replied. "Not since we've got you boys on the job."
"We'll do whatever it takes to keep you safe," Spike said. "AJ would've wanted that."
"Eeyup."
"We'll see about that, boys," Porcina snorted evilly.
After their talk with the pop star, the 3 Dudes were on backstage, discussing their next course of action, "Okay. Remember, Porcina and her goons will be after Rara," Spike began. "This place could already be infested with bad guys! So we gotta stay alert!"
"Eeyup."
"Don't have tell us twice," Discord rolled his eyes.
"Let's split up. We'll cover more grounds that way." Spike suggested.
"Eeyup."
"But if there's any trouble. We'll signal to each other."
"Signal?" Discord began. "Okay then, how would you prefer it? Would you like something subtle?" With that, Discord showed an example by making a gibberish mumble. "Or something like this?" In a flash, Discord transfigured himself into a seal, and flapped his flippers and barked. "Or how about like this?" With that, Discord turned himself into a crow, "CA-CAW!! CA-CAAAAWWW!!! RIIIIIIIIII-COLA!!!"
Upon hearing the draconequus's loud uproar, several ponies turned their heads, trying to locate the source of that weird sound.
"Um, subtle is more like it," Spike answered, rubbing his sore ears.
"Eeyup."
With that, the boys went their separate ways.
Spike first went to the arcade to check the games and the ponies playing, before he was on his way to check on some of the rollercoaster rides.
"Wow! This place is huge!" Spike commented as he marveled the flashy surroundings of the marvelous resort. "When this is over, I wouldn't mind booking here for a month long vacation."
As he continues with his patrol, Spike happened to pass three show mares dressed in flashy costumes and large feathers. The little dragon couldn't help but stare, feeling himself captivated by their beauty. The three mares were simply talking amongst themselves, when they noticed the little dragon passing them. With a blush of pink, Spike quickly turned his head away, trying to act like he didn't noticed them. However, he couldn't help but sneak another glance at them, which didn't go unnoticed. The show mares simply giggled as they smile and waved his way.
Spike blushed as he bashfully waves back at them, not looking where he was going and bumped into someone.
"OOF!"
"Oh, sorry!" Spike and the pony quickly apologized. "My fault."
When Spike and the pony looked at each other, they could hardly believe their eyes, "Scarlet?!" Spike exclaimed.
"Spike?!" Scarlet Leaves returned the shock.
"What are you doing here?" They asked simultaneously. "What am I doing here? What are you–" The two quickly stopped talking and chuckled, before they took the moment to compose themselves.
"Let's start over," Spike suggested. "Scarlet. Long time no see!"
"Likewise, Spike," The tall country mare replied. "I haven't seen you and the boys since ya rescued my sister and Ms. Jubilee."
"Yeah, we've been busy. We're currently on patrols, keeping this place safe, y'know? What are you doing here?"
"I'm just here for the holidays, with my sister, Amber," Scarlet looked around at the resort. "Ever since those attacks we've had in Apploosa and Dodge City, we're all kind of on edge. So Ms. Jubilee decided to let both me and Amber to take a vacation, and she actually managed to book us a trip here in Las Pegasus."
"Really?" Spike asked, with interest. "How did she do that?"
"She said she has a friend who worked from inside the resort," Scarlet answered. "And she was kind enough to book a room for both me and Amber with all expenses paid, all for a show that me and my sister can perform on stage later, as an opening act for Countess Coloratura. Isn't that lovely?"
"Well, I hate to rain on your parade Scarlet, but you and your sister came here at a bad time."
"What do ya mean?" Suddenly, three figures wearing menacing pig masks jumped out the corner, "What in the–"
"Ah, boogie-booga!" Two of the masked figures shouted, though the third one went on continuously, until he received some glares from the others, that he stopped. "Oh."
"Oh, beat it!" Spike spatted defiantly.
Taken by surprise, one of the figures turned to the other two, "I told you dolts, these pig masks wouldn't work!" He grumbled. "Let's go with Plan B!" With that, the three figures all pulled their masks off to reveal themselves as savage looking beasts, with the heads of fiendish dogs, but the bodies of dark, sickly, savage vultures equipped with sickle shaped claws on the bent of their wings, and on their first toes.
"WHAT THE HAY–" Scarlet and Spike exclaimed.
"Give us the pretty pony! NOW!" One of the raptorians snarled viciously. "Or we'll rip you to pieces!"
Spike felt his knees getting weak, as he felt himself intimidated at the sight of the three fiendish beasts standing before him and Scarlet. A part of him wanted to run, but the heroic part of him refrains him from abandoning Scarlet. He could think straight, and did the next thing out of irrational, fearful impulse, "CAW-CAW! CAW!" He called out desperately, hoping Discord or Big Mac were close by. "Uh, CAW-CAW?!"
"What are you doing?" Scarlet asked. "You're embarrassing us here."
"The dudes and I have a really complicated system going on here," Spike explained. "So cut us some slacks–Yikes!" The dragon yelped, when one of the raptorians snapped his jaws at him.
"Enough games!" The dog-bird began. "Give us the ponies, or–"
"Oh! You like games?" Turning to a nearby Can Knock Down stand, Spike quickly took a baseball ball, and whistled, "Come on boys! Go get it! Come on!" With that, Spike threw the ball into the distance.
With a loud bark, the three raptorians quickly flapped their wings and chased after the ball.
"I can't believe that worked!" Spike smiled, feeling proud of himself. "NOW RUN!" He screamed as both he and Scarlet ran for their lives.
Meanwhile, the raptorians all pounced at the ball, where they quickly entangled themselves in a flurry of feathery tussle, when they suddenly realized, they've been duped, imagining themselves as lollipops.
With an angry snarl, the raptorians all let out a loud bark, as they flapped their wings, furiously chasing after their escaped preys.
Turning back, Spike and Scarlet can see their pursuers are not too far behind, "They're gaining on us!" Scarlet whimpered. "What do we do?"
Thinking fast, Spike pointed, "Quickly! In there!" With that, he and Scarlet made a mad dash into a clothing shop, where both Spike and Scarlet took off their clothes and put them on some mannequins. With that, when the raptorians arrived, they mistook the dummies as their preys and pounced.
Spike and Scarlet soon poked their head out from their hiding spots, "Ok Scarlet," Spike whispered. "You go and get your sister, and I'll distract them."
"You sure you'll be alright, little fella?" Scarlet asked.
"Don't worry. I'm a fast runner," The little dragon reassured. "Just go."
"Okay. But good luck," With that, the mare quickly planted a quick kiss on the dragon's cheek, before she was on her way.
Spike blushed a shade of pink from the kiss, before he shook it off and shouted, "Yoo-hoo~" The three raptorians ceased what they were doing, turning their attention to the little dragon who stuck his tongue out. "Nah nah nah nah! You can't catch me~!" With that, another chase ensues.
Spike was running as fast as his little legs could carry him, looking back to see the three dog-birds are chasing him nonstop, with every pony jumping out of the way and standing clear from the chase. Frantically, Spike looked ahead and made a quick dive through several booths of carnival games, with the raptorians following.
Spike and the raptorians ran through games of Can Knock Down, Balloon And Dart, and Water Gun. Given to Spike's short height, he was able to evade all of the ammunitions from the players, while his pursuers came out with nothing more than black eyes, darts, and wet feathers.
Later, the chase soon took place out of the arcades and back into the lobby, where the raptorians stopped to ask a gentleman reading a newspaper. Upon lowering his papers, the gentleman revealed himself to be Spike with a fake Groucho Marx mustache, nose, and glasses. Despite the paper-thin disguise, the raptorians bought it as they inquired where Spike is. With that, Spike pointed in the wrong direction, which the raptorians bought it, and were on their way, while Spike quickly took his leave in the opposite direction. It was only about ten minutes, when the raptorians realized they've been duped, again.
The chase continues, with Spike making a quick dive into a mirror maze. The three dog-birds later followed, only to find themselves lost in confusing maze of reflections. The three dog-birds were confused and disoriented, as they turned into what they thought was another hall, when it was actually just a reflection, crashing their faces into the reflective walls. To add insult to injury, the dog-birds caught sight of Spike, and they all lunged forward, and once again crashed into another mirror.
Meanwhile, the real Spike was laughing his heart out, "This is fun!" He said, walking towards the exit, but ended up crashing into a mirror. "Ow, my nose."
[End of song]
Somewhere in the resort, Discord and Big Mac both met up in the lobby, "Seen anything strange?" Discord asked.
"Eeeenope," Big Mac shook his head, when Scarlet happened to meet them, with her little sister, Amber.
"Discord? Big Mac? What are you two doing here?" Scarlet asked.
"What are we doing here?" Discord asked. "What are you doing here?"
"I'm–AH! What are we doing?!" Scarlet groaned in frustration at the amount of cartoonish confusion going on. "Spike's in trouble!"
"Spike?" The two boys heard a scuffle going on, which they turned and looked to see Spike, being chased by the raptorians, into a theater.
"SPIKE!!!" Big Mac and Discord shouted.
Spike quickly ran into the backstage area of the theater, where he collapsed on the floor, panting heavily to catch his breath.
"How much more can I keep this up?" He asked, not knowing that the curtain rose up from behind him, and his ears perked up to the sound of ponies exchanging mutters and whispers.
He turned around, and his eyes widened with surprise to see he was on stage, in front of a full house.
Taken by surprise, Spike was shaking his legs as he succumbs to stage-fright, before he looked down to see a hat and a cane hiding behind some props.
Thinking fast, Spike dons up the hat and cane as he started to do a quick dance.
Bugs Bunny Dance
Though surprised to see a dancing dragon, the audience applauded for the little dragon.
"Aw!" One of the mares squealed. "He's so cute!"
"I say, I never knew the young dragon could have such choreography," Fancy Pants commented from the crowd.
From her private box, high above the ponies, Porcina was displeased at what she was seeing, "Ooh! Of all the blundering incompetence!" She snorted, pulling on her hair in irritation, she turned to some pig soldiers. "Don't just stand there you fools! Seize him!"
"Oink! Es-ya am-may!" The soldiers saluted, before they were on their way.
Back on stage, Spike was coming to the end of his dance and started to take his leave on the side of the stage, "Bravo!" The audience applauded. "Bravo! Bravisimo! Encore!"
Spike felt relieved to be over it, when he looked up, and saw the pig soldiers coming after him, dressed in stage crew uniforms, "Oh come on!" He groaned.
With a snap of his finger, Discord started up a new music in the air. Spike suddenly felt the music taking a hold of his body parts, "What the hay?" Out of impulse, Spike's arm snapped a punch, socking a pig in the nose. "Whoa! What's happening to me?"
"Well look at that," Discord commented, crossing his arms over his chest. "The kid's a natural!"
Shaking his hip from side to side, whipping his tails to and fro, Spike was throwing punches to the left and right at all of the pig soldiers, while ducking his head in a bow and rolled to the sides, evading some of their lunge attacks.
"I don't know what's going on," Spike said to himself, but smiled. "But I like it!"
Meanwhile, the audiences all thought it was part of the show, as they all clapped their hooves, cheering, and whistling for Spike.
Two pig thugs jumped at the little dragon, but he spun himself into a tornado, before snapping his leg out into a kick, hitting the pigs in the face. Another pig soldier lunged his arms out to grab Spike, but the little dragon quickly slipped between his legs, and pulled on his curly tail.
"OINK!" The soldier snorted in surprise, before a trap door was opened beneath him, and he disappeared.
"Did I do that?" Discord asked, while doing an impression of Jaleel White, with Big Mac, Scarlet, and Amber laughing.
At that moment, all of the pigs were exhausted and they couldn't take anymore hits from Spike, who ended the show, with a split.
[End of song]
Al the ponies got up from their seat, and applauded for the little dragon.
"Way to go, Spike!" Discord and Big Mac cheered for their friend, when Rara appeared, with most of her makeup half-done.
"What's all the hullabaloo?" Rara asked.
"Can someone help me out here?" Spike asked, stuck in his split pose, tears running from his eyes, as the curtain closes on him. "Ow, ow, ow. My legs."
Back from her box, Porcina was not amused.
"Th-Th-Th-Th-That's not all folks!" Porcina snorted angrily.

Nice homage to some classic pieces of media. Well done.
Um, don't you mean "any more beautiful"? Your current word choice implies that Porcina is at least as beautiful as Rara but not less beautiful than her. "Any more beautiful" implies that Porcina might be as beautiful as Rara but will never be more beautiful than Rara. Does that make sense?
English can be a confusing language to explain.
OOOOOOOOH! The boys are gonna get her good, and I'm going to enjoy it so much.
