Mystic Equestria Girls

by Shadow Master

Dignity (V)

After Vignette used her magical smartphone to snap a picture on them; Twilight, Sunset, Pinkie, Shadow Dragon, Flash, Flare Tiger and Icy got sent to unknown location. They were being struggling and held to the patient beds by Mecha Versions of Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Aqua and Terrorcreep, who tied them up with tightened belts. The scientists and technicians prepared the machinery and weapons as they're preparing to turn them into mechanized versions. Cobblepot was there to watch everything.

"Y-You won't get away with this!" Shadow Dragon snapped angrily.

Flash growled, "When our friends will find you, they-!"

"They will be my master's new war machines," Cobblepot mocked before laughed out loud, "And I can promise you that, mate. You all will pay for letting Maul get away with this."

Twilight groaned, "I can't believe Vignette is working with the terrorists."

"Oh no, little lady. That useless and talentless PR Manager couldn't do anything right, can't even performed on the stage and design some parades. She's the embarrassment and hopeless for this. She has no idea of what's really going on," Cobblepot admitted amusingly. He chuckled, "Until now when she got the magic phone. She sent you to another place, where no one and especially your friends can find us now. Everything will be ready soon."

"Damn it…" Sunset snarled in frustration, "We have to find a way to get out of our predicament."

Cobblepot smirked before chuckled, "You can't. It's over now."

Icy sighed, "Only hope others are alright and find us soon…"

"Yeah. Things are getting hairy now," Flare Tiger said in concern and fear, "Just hope others get over their problems soon. We really need help."

While the scientists and technicians are busy dealing with preparing and turning everyone into mechanized versions, Twilight secretly moved her right hand towards the pocket as she was pressing a device, which was blinking in red lights for couple of times.

Back to production warehouse, Vignette used her magical phone to take a picture of Rarity, adding another to her collections.

"Sorry, Rare, guess you're not so 'rare' after all." Vignette mocked amusingly. She then looked up and found Rarity is still standing there. She annoyed exclaimed, "Okay, that was your cue to disappear!"

Vignette used her magical phone to snap picture on Rarity. The white-colored teenager summoned the Diamond Forcefield Barrier to block the beam.

Rarity smirked, "Hmmm. Never underestimate a good accessory!"

Vignette tried to fire her magical phone at Rarity, who blocked the beam again. The PR Manager groaned, "Stop un-magique-ing my magique thingy!"

Vignette did it again, prompting Rarity to block it. She grunted, "I can't believe I listened to you over Saber, Applejack, Tailtech and even Shorty! And you ruined my relationship!"

Rarity summoned and blasted her Diamond Beam Blast at Vignette, blinding her for the moment. She then ran off at once. Just as recovered, she found her former friend has escaped. This infuriated and annoyed her.

"Hey! U-G-H! Whatevs! I don't need you anyway." Vignette grumbled. She turned and glared at her designers and workers. She shouted, "Attention, people who work for me! I am now the lead costume designer because our former lead costume designer is being H.B.W. Herself, but worse! Now pretend I just gave you an inspiring speech and get back to work!"

The designers and workers yelped and panicked as they quickly moved out and performed their works at once. The last thing they need is get on her bad side.

---

After leaving the production warehouse; Applejack, Saber and Tailtech were searching and looking for Shorty across the carnival. They hoped they can talk some sense into him and make him reconcile with Rarity for saying horrible things to her. They're now at the canteen.

Tailtech spotted Shorty was storming straight to the entrance. He called his team to follow him. They all called him while chasing after him. He stopped and turned back.

"What do you want now?" Shorty asked angrily.

"Shorty, you have to come back with us," Saber pleaded in concern, "We need you and your expertise to help us find our friends."

Tailtech nodded, "Yeah. I can't do this by myself."

"And also, you owe Rarity an apology," Applejack added. Everyone glared at her. She groaned, "What? He really should. She doesn't deserve a slap."

Shorty scoffed, "She deserved it. And in fact, she doesn't want to listen to me or even actually care about her friends since her work is more important than us. And not to mention, Vignette is her real best friend, not all of us."

"That is not true," Applejack snapped back, "She's just stressed and tensed with her works."

Shorty wasn't convinced as he remarked, "Does that excuse of ignoring and abandoning her own friends? Or even ignoring our warning and concerning."

Applejack gulped, "W-Well…"

"It doesn't matter now, Shorty. Right now, we need your expertise and genius to help and find our friends before it's too late." Tailtech said in concern. He took his bag-pack down to find and get his Magical Detector. He continued, "We need to thinker it now. Or maybe trying to access and locating their cellphones. It might work."

Shorty scoffed, "You don't need me, Tailtech. You're already a genius. You can handle this problem by yourself. I'm leaving."

"Shorty, don't. Don't do this," Saber pleaded.

"I already did. Don't try to stop me because I am still angry," Shorty said dryly, "Goodbye, everyone."

Shorty turned and walked away from his friends. He exited out of the carnival while the rest of his friends do nothing but watching him to leave the place.

"I can't believe he leave us…" Tailtech said in disbelief.

Applejack groaned, "Damn it, Shorty. How could you just leave us like that?"

"APPLEJACK!" Rarity's voice called.

Applejack, Saber and Tailtech turned and looked back, where they found her running towards them. She was panting heavily while recovering and calming herself down.

"Don't go," Rarity pleaded in exhaustion tone. She sighed while looking around as she asked, "W-Where's Shorty? Please tell me that he's still around here."

Saber shook his head in ashamed tone, "Sorry, Rarity. He left…"

"W-What?" Rarity asked in disbelief and shocked. She sighed in upset tone while putting both hands on her face, "W-What have I done…"

Applejack approached and patted her best friend's shoulder as she comforted, "It ain't your fault, Rare. You're just stressed."

"That doesn't excuse for not listening to his and your warnings." Rarity disagreed in frustration. She sighed, "You were right. I got carried away and let this stupid parade become the only thing that mattered to me! And I let Vignette manipulate me with false flattery into forgetting what really matters – my friends and my boyfriend too. But I ruined everything. I broke his heart for choosing Vignette over him."

Applejack gave Rarity a comforted hug while shushing gently, "It's okay, Rarity. It's okay."

Saber sighed in concern, "I hate to ruin you girls' comforting moments, but we need to find our friends now."

Rarity gasped in concern, "Right! Our friends! Vignette has them all trapped in the internet! She confessed! We have to get them out! We have to save them!"

"But how? We don't even know where we can find them? It's not like we get some kind of distressing beacon?" Tailtech asked in concern with scoff. To everyone's surprise, he and his friends heard beeping noise. Taking out his cellphone's screen revealing the signal beacon, he looked surprise and remarked, "Huh. What do you know? We get the signal beacon."

"Well, where are they?" Applejack asked in concern and worried.

Moving his cellphone's tracking beacon around, Tailtech found it pointing on northeast. He moved towards it, followed by his friends. And to their surprise, the cellphone's tracking made a loud beeping noise as it was pointing at the large warehouse. They all looked at each other in concern before nodded firmly. Everyone readied with both of their weapons and geodes as they're readied to burst in and attack whoever holding their friends.

Using her Superstrength Geode, Applejack slammed the door hard, allowing Rarity to jumped in and summoned the Diamond Barriers for blocking against the blasts from enemy troops. Saber unleashed Wind Storm to blow and knock couple of Mecha Troopers off. And at the same time, Tailtech used his Typhoon Blaster in Stun Mode to stun on most of scientists and technicians, and even the mechanized versions of their friends. Cobblepot yelped in fear as he was about to escape, but Pinkie gave him a trip, making him falling to the ground hard. Tailtech quickly stunned him before he could escape.

"About time you got here!" Shadow Dragon exclaimed in frustration.

"Sorry," Tailtech apologized. He and his friends helped and freed their friends from the patient beds. He continued, "Long story short – trying to bring Shorty back but he rejected it because of what happened earlier. Rarity joined us after finding of what's really going on from Vignette."

Flash sighed, "Yeah. We felt the same way too. We tried to corner and capture her until she surprised us with her real magical phone."

Pinkie groaned, "No kidding. I do the surprise, not her!"

"Still, what about our friends?" Sunset asked while looking at mechanized versions of Fluttershy, Terrorcreep, Rainbow and Aqua. She continued, "We can't just leave them like this."

Saber looked through some of stunned scientists, looking for a device that was controlling his friends. He found a small controller as he deactivated and shutdown on it. This caused some electrical shocks on four mechanized friends before deactivating and dropping machinery parts and weapons form their bodies. They all groaned and moaned painfully. Their friends approached and helped them to get up.

Saber smirked cockily, "You're welcome."

Rainbow groaned, "I'm gonna feel that in the morning."

"I'm with you," Aqua said in pain, "What happen?"

"Long story," Saber admitted sheepishly.

Twilight glared at unconscious Cobblepot as she remarked, "One thing we can agree about is that this guy is no friend of ours or even Vignette. He works for someone trouble."

Suddenly, both Blazefist and Laxtinct teleported out of nowhere while landed on the ground hard. They both groaned and moaned in pain.

"What the-?! Blazefist? Lax?!" Aqua asked in surprise and disbelief. She grabbed and held them both up, "Where the hell have you two been?! Do you have any idea what kind of trouble we were in?!"

Laxtinct chuckled uneasy as he admitted, "Sorry. We were kinda busy keeping an eye on Indigo's dating with Thunderlane. And I kinda find it cute for them too."

"Yeah. Cute," Blazefist grumbled a bit. He sighed, "But admittingly, he's really good and kind to her. Guess he's okay for her."

"Unbelievable…" Aqua groaned as she dropped both her husband and her brother-in-law to the ground hard.

"Still, did Vignette take picture of you guys?" Twilight asked in concern and worry.

Blazefist nodded in embarrassment, "Yeah, she did. She said we got in her way and send us here. But seriously, she was using the Equestrian Magic on us?!"

"Most of us actually," Icy corrected dryly and firmly.

"And not to mention, we're almost turned into machines!" Flare Tiger exclaimed in frustration.

Rarity hissed in concern, "I can't believe Vignette would align with Cobblepot for this."

"She isn't," Sunset disagreed. Everyone looked at her. She explained, "She doesn't know what's going on. Cobblepot was just using her to teleport here and make us into machines."

"Why would he do that for?" Blazefist asked in concern.

"Let's ask him," Saber said firmly and dryly. He grabbed and held Cobblepot by his collar. He spoke, "Speak, Cobblepot. Why would you kidnap us and turned into war machines?"

Cobblepot scoffed, "As if I need to tell you! You don't scare me. You're just dumb people and kids."

Almost everyone gave an annoying and angry glare at Cobblepot, who looked nervous and worried about their looks. They all armed and readied with both geodes and weapons as they're about to threaten and scared him.

Cobblepot gulped, "Maybe I should rephrase that word…"

"Should have, asshole," Laxtinct said angrily yet softly while readied with his war hammer, "Can we try this again without us beating you up?"

Blazefist cleared his throat, "Lax, I'm supposed to be bad cop."

Laxtinct shrugged, "Sorry. I'm so not in good mood now."

Cobblepot panicked, "Machine Dragoon wanted to turn all of you and the rest of this town into war machines, so he can take over this place and start the invasion to take back his place from Maul."

"Machine Dragoon?!" Everyone asked in concern.

"And Vignette does the dirty work for you all?" Rarity asked dryly. Cobblepot nodded nervously and fearfully. She groaned, "Oh dang it!"

Almost everyone gasped in concern, Flare Tiger grumbled, "Somehow, I'm not surprised by that."

"Where is Machine Dragoon now?" Saber demanded firmly and seriously.

"He's hiding one of the parade floats," Cobblepot admitted in fear.

"Guys, this is bad!" Sunset said in concern, "Vignette has no idea what she has gotten herself into now especially Machine Dragoon is in one of them, ready to come out and attack."

Rarity gasped, "Our friends are in that crowd! Sweetie Belle is in that crowd! We've got to stop her!"

"You do realize if we stop the parade, no one will see all your hard work." Applejack said in concern.

"Applejack, really?!" Saber asked in disbelief.

Applejack sighed, "What? Those floats were her works."

"It's okay, Applejack," Rarity reassured Applejack as she continued, "Someone reminded me that none of that matters without my friends."

"Then, what are we waiting for?! Let's move it!" Shadow Dragon shouted firmly, "I would like to be the first guy to kick her bitching attitude."

Saber nodded, "I second it. She's gonna be sorry for kicking Shorty out."

Twilight groaned, "You do realize thar Vignette was corrupted by Equestrian magic, right?"

"Does that give her an excuse to be a bitch?" Shadow Dragon asked in annoyance. Twilight was about to argue her but stopped as she found everyone shook their heads. She groaned in defeat. He scoffed, "That's what I thought."

Everyone quickly rushed out and headed straight to the parade street to stop her at once. They even brought and dragged out Cobbeltpot, who is still in cuffs. And hopefully, they can find and defeat Machine Dragoon before it's too late.

---

The crowd was gathered at the main street, where they're witnessing and applauding for the arrivals of parade floats including the candy float with the performers dressing in blank shapes suits-like, wild west float with a cowboy and seahorse-like dragon hopping around, and also the decorated rock'n'roll Rainboom Float with Vignette singing happily yet badly while five of Rainboom holograms played their instrument blandly.

The crowd was completely shocked and horrified especially they really can't stand with her very bad singing voice and even music lyrics.

Vignette: Be yourself, but better

Or don't be yourself at all

Follow Vignette on Snapgab

That's V-I-G-N-E-T-T-EEEEEEE!

Just as she finished her song, Vignette looked at the crowd. She was deeply shocked and disbelieved to see them jeering and complaining about her singing voice and bad lyrics as well. They all wondered whose idea of putting her on the stage and made Mane Seven look bad.

"This crowd isn't cheering enough for my taste." Vignette complained in disappointment. She then readied with her magical phone. She glee slyly, "Luckily, that can be tweaked with the flick of a finger. Say 'cheese', everyone!"

Almost the crowd including five Cutie Mark Crusaders, Spike, Wheelie and Brains were confused and uncertain of what Vignette's doing.

And just before she could take the picture of the crowd, the Rainboow Float got knocked and rammed into something or someone just stopped it. This made Vignette almost fall to the ground. She looked down and found Applejack was holding the float up. She then looked up and found Rarity and her friends were standing before. They all armed and readied with their weapons and geodes for the fight. Cobblepot was there, with his hands in cuffs, sitting on the ground.

"Sorry to rain on your parade!" Rarity exclaimed with determination.

Dropped the float to the ground hard, Applejack winked and smiled at her best friend, "Nice one!"

Rarity smiled in approval. She looked up and glared at Vignette as she demanded, "But I'm afraid this evening is cancelled. Now turn off your phone and hand it over!"

The crowd murmured in shock and confusion. They didn't expect the real Mane Seven and their friends would dare to demand the social media star to do something for them.

"Are you honestly asking a social media star to hand over her phone?" Vignette demanded.

Everyone remained firm and serious as Applejack spoke up, "Yeah. She is."

"Vignette, this has to be stopped now," Saber said firmly.

Vignette was annoyed and angry by their defiance. She tried to convince Rarity while showing her to the hologram, "Rarity, this is the version of your friends that will be popular. I have the metrics to back that up." Everyone was unamused and annoyed by her claim. She groaned, "Doesn't matter if they're real. It's what you show people online. This is your chance to be everything you've always wanted!"

"No!" Rarity disagreed, "It's a chance to look like everything I've always wanted! What I really want has been right in front of me the whole time! My friends!"

"Right. That is until you screw it up and break up with your boyfriend," Laxtinct added dumbfoundedly. Everyone especially Rarity glared at him. He whistled innocently, "Not that is important now."

"Just give up now, Vignette. Don't make us hurt you," Saber insisted firmly.

"Please say 'no'. So, I can hurt you very badly," Shadow Dragon said dryly while readied with his Darkness Blade. Everyone groaned in annoyance by his thinking. He groaned, "Aw come on! I can't be the only guy, who wants to make her pay for annoying us and also letting Cobblepot turning us into machines!"

Rainbow hummed thoughtfully, "He's kinda right about that."

"Agreed," Terrorcreep supported.

"What are you talking about?" Vignette demanded in confusion.

"Cobblepot is using you to take picture and transferred almost all of us to warehouse for turning into war machines," Sunset explained seriously, "And now, Machine Dragoon is hiding inside one of the floats! You have to stop this now!"

Cobblepot panicked, "She's lying! Don't listen to her!"

Aqua, Terrorcreep and even Rainbow gave some punches on his guts while exclaimed, "Shut up!"

Vignette groaned, "Would someone tell me of what's really going on?!"

BANG! Vignette yelped in concern, feeling the whole Rainboom Parade Float was shaking wildly and crazily, causing her throwing off and landing on the Rainboom and Dragon Strike Force. They moved aside, allowing her to slam on the ground. The crowd murmured in concern and fear as they're witnessing all the floats were shaking wildly and madly, scaring the artists and performers to jump out and ran for their lives.

As the floats came together as one, they began unusual transformation and combination into one large familiar mechanical humanoid dragon-like with weapons. He roared out loud like a Tyrannosaurus Rex.

"What the-?!" Vignette exclaimed in shock and fear. Machine Dragoon used his tractor beam on her phone, magnetizing and dragging it towards his large left claw-like, which glowed brightly. She demanded, "Hey! That is my magic phone!"

Machine Dragoon growled at Vignette, "Wrong. It is mine."

Vignette gulped in fear, "Okay. It's yours, mister."

Cobblepot quivered in fear, "M-Master, I-!"

"You have failed me, Cobblepot," Machine Dragoon snarled in anger. He roared out loud, "Enforcers, attack! Commanders, deal with the interlopers!"

As commanded, the army of Mecha Troopers, Dragoon Tankers and Griffon Jetfighters emerged out from the carnival and food stands. Sevenstrike emerged out from the crowd, followed by MechaInfinite moved out from his so-called 'Dragon Ride', and Sixshot emerged out from the haunted mansion.

Three commanders all charged and attacked Mane Seven and Dragon Strike Force while the civilians including Vignette panicked and ran for their lives. The army of Machine Enforcement moved out to capture and moved them before their master, who is using the magical phone to customize and turn people into machines. The heroes have to protect and save them from harm. Machine Dragoon chuckled sinisterly and amusingly while watching the event.

After leaving both his team and ex-girlfriend behind, Shorty is inside the public bus as it was heading back to the town. He turned and looked outside of the window as he was still upset and angry with Rarity's choosing Vignette over her friends and even him. While looking at the window, he noticed some black smoke emerging out from the Equestria Land while realizing something is off.

---

The Mane Seven and Dragon Strike Force were struggling to save the civilians while fighting and fending off the enemy commanders. Aqua, Rainbow, Terrorcreep, Fluttershy, Rarity and Icy were battling with Sixshot, who skillfully and swiftly dodged and evaded the attacks while firing his blasters at them. MechaInfinite charged and attacked Blazefist, Laxtinct, Saber, Applejack, Pinkie and Tailtech who were running from him while battling with him. Shadow Dragon, Twilight, Sunset, Flash and Flare Tiger were dealing with Sevenstrike, who firmly and fiercely parry off the attacks.

And at the same time, the heroes tried to reach and attack Machine Dragoon, who remained calm and firm while watching the battlefield and using his magical phone beam to turn some people into mechanized version. And more of mechanized people including Cutie Mark Crusaders, Indigo Zap and Thunderlane charged and attacked them, outnumbering and overwhelming them.

Laxtinct panicked while hammering couple of Mecha Troopers, "No way we can keep up with this!"

"Tell me about it," Tailtech agreed while firing his Typhoon Blaster's Stunning Mode on the mechanized civilians, "Machine Dragoon's turning all the civilians into machines and attacking us. They're overwhelming us!"

Rainbow screamed as she sped around and knocked both Mecha Troopers and Griffon Jetfighters, "No thanks to Vignette! When I get my hands on her-!"

"Rainbow! Not the time to put a blame! She doesn't know about it. She's innocent and would never harm anyone because she's famous," Rarity scolded Rainbow while using her Diamond Barrier to block and deflect the blasts. She then found Vignette was running while pushing and throwing civilians at the Mecha Troopers. She groaned, "I stand corrected."

"Guess Shorty wasn't wrong about her," Icy said coldly and dryly, "It's always all about her. She's a real bitch."

Terrorcreep scoffed while swinging his Thunder Dual Axes on Griffon Jetfighters, "I'd be first to take her blood!"

"Can we deal with this matter after we take care of the giant machine monster?!" Applejack asked angrily and firmly while lifting and throwing the Dragoon Tank at couple of Mecha Troopers.

"Easy for you to say!" Pinkie panicked while firing her Party Cannon at Dragoon Tanks.

Engaging Sevenstrike in a duel, Shadow Dragon glared at Machine Dragoon's transforming people into Mecha Warriors. He grunted, "We need take him out now!"

Blazefist nodded, "Deal with the commanders then we'll get him."

Everyone nodded firmly and seriously as they quickly and fiercely engaged and fought back against Machine Enforcement Commanders and their army. They're still outnumbered and overwhelmed by them especially from mechanized version of people. Both Mane Seven and Dragon Strike Force struggled and unable to hold it much longer.

Vignette was still running for her life until she got tripped and fell to the ground. She found three more of Mechanized People arrived and tried to capture her. Three of them got stunned and shocked before dropped to the ground. Everyone stopped at once. They all turned and looked back, where they found Shorty was armed with his Flame Volley Blaster.

"Hello…" Shorty greeted calmly yet seriously and firmly.

Everyone gasped in surprise, "SHORTY!"

Just as Mecha Troopers and Mecha Civilians charged and about to attack Shorty, the scientist opened fire his Flame Volley Blaster on them, stunning and shocking most of the civilians and Mecha Troopers. He even almost tripped and fell to the ground hard while shooting the last three of them.

Shorty sighed, "Close call…"

Everyone called out in surprise and happy, "Shorty!"

Just before Machine Dragoon and his army could do anything; Blazefist, Saber and Aqua unleashed and combined their powers of Firestorm Phoenix, Hydro Canon and Tornado Beam Blast to blow and knock all of them off. They all regrouped and met up with Shorty.

"You came back!" Rarity exclaimed happily.

"Only because… I forgot my laboratory keys!" Shorty exclaimed in irritation, shocking and making everyone facefaulted in disbelief while Laxtinct yelped in embarrassment as he felt some keys from his back pocket. He sighed, "Forget about the keys. How bad the situation here?"

"Get me outta here!" Vignette yelled at Shorty's ear, making him annoyed and fired his stun gun on her. She yelled in pain before grunted, "Why…"

"Coz you're really annoying and pain of the neck for everything," Shorty said bluntly. He looked at some civilians, who were turned into mechanized versions. He sighed, "I'm guessing you're responsible for this mess?"

"Technically, she didn't," Rarity corrected Shorty before pointed at Cobblepot, "He did."

Shorty groaned, "I don't believe it. It's still her fault. And her damn mess. How do we turn everyone back?"

Pointing at Machine Dragoon's turning civilians into machines, Tailtech explained, "Taking Machine Dragoon down. He has the magical phone and cyberforming device on the left tractor claw to turn and customize everyone into mecha people."

Shorty sighed firmly, "Ok. We take care of the commanders and the soldiers first, then we deal with Machine Dragoon head on. Tailtech, Icy and me will stun the Mecha People. Rarity, Applejack and Saber, cover us. And luckily, I brought reinforcement."

The army of Imperial Phoenix Soldiers, led by One-Eyed Anger and Bullhound arrived at the scene. They're all armed with their stun blasters.

"Right!" Everyone agreed firmly and seriously.

Rainboom and Dragon Strike Force regrouped before split up and engaged the enemies head on. Shorty, Tailtech and Icy used their stun guns to sun couple of Mecha People while Rarity provided the barrier to protect them, and both Applejack and Saber were engaging some Mecha Troopers, Dragoon Tanks and Griffon Jetfighters. Riverstrike, Thunderbolt and Water Tiger Soldiers helped firing and stunning the enemies as well. The rest of their friends battled with three commanders.

Sixshot was dealing with Aqua, Rainbow, Terrorcreep and Fluttershy. Four of them barely dodged and evaded the attacks. Aqua launched Water Torpedo Shards at the Mecha Commander, who swiftly and quickly dodged and evaded the attack while firing his twin blasters at her. While they're both distracted, Rainbow dashed and attacked him from all sides until he swiftly knocked and tripped her to the ground. He almost about to slam his sword on her if not for Terrorcreep's using geode of illusion to trick him to see doubles of her, making him to shoot and miss his real target while Fluttershy rescued her. Both Aqua and Terrorcreep, armed with their weapons, charged and engaged Sixshot, who recovered and fought back against them both, with his long sword. And at the same time, they also have to deal with more of Mecha Troopers and Griffon Jetfighters. Both of them did their best to fend the winged mutated commander, who was too fast and swift for them to fight until he jumped and kicked them off. Just as before he could finish them, a flock of birds and bats dived and pecked him while Rainbow dashed and attacked him. Sixshot recovered and unleashed a powerful shockwave to knock them off. Just as he was about to finish her off, Fluttershy hold him with the Bear Strength, allowing Terrorcreep and Rainbow dismembered his limbs and Aqua struck her Tsunami Blade through his chest, killing him at once.

MechaInfinite roared madly and wildly as he was chasing down on Blazefist, Laxtinct, Flare Tiger and Pinkie, who were taking cover behind the restaurant buildings. Two brothers fired and unleashed both Fireball Shots and Stone Gatling at him, but did not feeling anything before firing his Gatling Blaster at them. Pinkie tried her Party Cannon at him from sides, trying to save them, which got him to turn and fire missiles and Gatling Blaster at him. As MechaInfinite was busy attacking both sides, Flare Tiger sneaked behind him while climbing to the top, where she attacked him with her blasters and Lion Claws. This annoyed and angered him as he tried to shake her off or even grab her while dealing with three interlopers. Formed up into his Rock Armor, Laxtinct charged and rammed him against the wall while punching on him for couple of times. He moved aside, allowing Blazefist to unleash his Firestorm Phoenix, burning him alive. The creature felt the flames burning and melting his metal as he scowled in pain and agony. He was about to fire his missiles until Laxtinct launched Pinkie up high, where she threw couple of explosive muffins into missile launcher compartment, causing him to explode into pieces.

Shadow Dragon, Twilight, Sunset and Flash surrounded and prepared to engage Sevenstrike, who is armed with his long sword and has two auto-turrets aiming at his targets. He fired auto-turrets at them. They all barely dodged and evaded the blasts. He charged in and attacked four of them. They all barely dodged and evaded the attacks while fighting back against him. As he was swinging his blades at them, Sunset used her War Fan to block and deflect the attacks while allowing Flash and Shadow Dragon dashed in and fiercely attacked Sevenstrike, who swiftly and quickly dodged and evaded them while parried them off. As the boys did their best to fend off the warrior, Twilight levitated and thrown couple of rides at him, throwing him off guard while allowing both Shadow Dragon and Flash to get in and attacked him head on while Sunset blocked and deflected his attacks. Just as two boys slammed and clashed their blades against Sevenstrike's blade, he firmly pushed the blade against theirs before kicked him. He then blasted and shot his blaster at Sunset, who quickly dodged and hid behind the bench. Twilight quickly levitated and rammed the dumpster at him, allowing both Shadow Dragon and Flash swung their kicks on his back before Sunset punched him straight to the electrical box, which shocked and electrocuted him badly till his death.

Both Mane Seven and Dragon Strike Force have defeated their enemy commanders, enemy troops and Mecha Civilians. They all regrouped and readied to fight Machine Dragoon, who is armed and readied to fight them now. Riverstrike led his army to keep their eyes on Mecha People.

Machine Dragoon growled calmly, "This fight is far from over…"

"You're right. It is far from over," Sunset said firmly. She looked at both Mane Seven and Dragon Strike Force, who nodded firmly and seriously. She narrowed her determined eyes, "Let's Pony Up!"

As commanded, both Mane Seven and Dragon Strike Force activated their geodes as they all transformed and have their own battle armors. They're all armed and readied for the fight against Machine Dragoon, who growled calmly while armed and readied with his weapons.

Machine Dragon scoffed, "Time to end this game…"

Machine Dragoon unleashed Mega Cannons on his enemies. They all barely dodged and evaded the blasts. He then tried to use his Magical Phone Customization Beam on them, which Rarity summoned her Diamond Barrier to block and deflect the beam while firing her Diamond. Blazefist fired his Firestorm Phoenix to block and deflect the attacks, allowing both Aqua and Saber to strike on both sides of his. They both launched Tornado Beam Blast and Water Torpedo Shards on him. Laxtinct and Applejack charged and struck their Earth Fists and Super Strength Punches on him while Rainbow Dash dashed in and jumped to give the rapid kicks on his back for couple of times. Machine Dragoon activated and slammed his Drill Buster on the ground, unleashing earthquake and knocked them off. He was about to slam his feet on Rainbow, but blocked and held off by Fluttershy's Bear Strength and Twilight's levitating and throwing more of objects and stuffs at him. Shadow Dragon then unleashed Chaos Hyper Blast at him off.

Just as Machine Dragoon recovered, Shorty, Tailtech and Pinkie fired their weapons while Icy summoned and fired her Frozen Shards at him. His armor remained strong and impenetrable before shrugging it off before swung and knock his tail at them off. Terrorcreep flew up to his head, where he summoned and struck Thunderstorm to strike on his head, injuring him further. Sunset, Flash and Flare Tiger gathered all of the fireworks before launching and firing straight at Machine Dragoon, who roared in pain and agony. Both Mane Seven and Dragon Strike Force charged and attacked him fiercely and determinedly. The mechanical dragon-like unleashed the barrage of Mega Cannon and Drill Buster to knock them out to the ground.

Machine Dragoon roared out loud, "This is far from over. Submit now!"

"Never! We're not out yet!" Rarity defied firmly.

"Then, you will die now!" Machine Dragoon declared while readying and loading up his Mega Cannon and Magical Phone Customized Beam, "You should have given in when you had the chance…"

Rarity remained firm and determined, "Think again. You overgrown mechalizard!"

Machine Dragoon smirked slyly as he unleashed the power of his Mega Cannons and Magical Phone Customized Beams at Mane Seven and Dragon Strike Force. Rarity quickly summoned a larger Diamond Barrier to block two attacks as long as she can. However, due to two immense powerful attacks, they're damaging and causing some cracks on the force-field barrier-like. They're about to breakthrough and hit them.

"That's not gonna be good," Rainbow remarked in concern.

Blazefist nodded, "Yeah. Once the beam hit us, we'd be turn into machines."

Laxtinct gulped in fear, "Game over…"

"Do something!" Rarity exclaimed in concern as she struggled and strained with using her Diamond Barrier to withstand the powers. She grunted, "I can't hold it much longer!"

"Just hold it long," Shorty said firmly and seriously. He readied and loaded up with his Flame Volley Blaster in sniper mode. He then targeted and aimed at Machine Dragoon's left claw, which was firing his Magical Phone Customized Beam. He took a deep breathe, "Just need one shot."

Shorty fired his Flame Volley Blaster sniping mode, shooting straight at Machine Dragoon's left claw. It not only damaged and exploded his left claw, but also causing a devastating blow of magical powers. He screamed and roared in pain and agony, feeling wild magic powers slowly crawling and creeping up to him and the rest of his whole body. He tried to attack his enemies, but he was completely covered in digitalized form, and was also paralyzed as well.

Machine Dragoon grunted, "N-No! What is happening to me?!"

Shorty sighed, "That's what happened when you use too much of magical phone's customizing people into machines, courtesy of the most talentless and hopeless employee of yours."

"I am not a bad guy!" Vignette protested weakly and painfully, "I don't even know what's going on! Honest!"

"Either way, Machine Dragoon, game over!" Rarity declared firmly and seriously.

Like their fight against previous enemies, both Mane Seven and Dragon Strike Force lifted up in the sky as they all held each other's hands, charging and powering up their geodes and magical powers. They then unleashed and fired their United Friendship Blast straight at Machine Dragoon. This destroyed and exploded him into pieces, along with Vignette's magical phone. It is now in pieces. And at the same time, the destroyed phone has restored and turned all of Mecha People back to normal. They all muttered and murmured in confusion and uncertain of situation.

The citizens turned and looked at Mane Seven and Dragon Strike Force, who were standing before them. They have no idea of what's really going on, but they spotted Machine Dragoon's corpse, making realized that they're alive and safe. They cheered out wildly and happily as they're alive and survived. The heroes cheered while hugging and giving each other a five happily and wildly, though Shorty refused to do it with Rarity. This shocked and concerned her.

Grabbing her damaged phone, Vignette turned and looked at Rarity as she demanded, "What have you done?! Now how can things ever be perfect?!"

Rarity sympathetically spoke, "I love nothing more than someone telling me I made a perfect outfit, but I'd say you got a bit carried away."

Vignette hummed in concern, "I-I… guess so."

"You guess so?!" Everyone demanded in disbelief and annoyed.

Saber demanded angrily, "Are you telling me that you created virtual holograms of our friends and almost sent an entire crowd of people to Machine Dragoon's warehouse for turning them into machines, and even used that phone of yours to do that?! And you're telling us 'You guess so'?! Don't you even realize or think of your action and the consequence you've made?!"

The crowd muttered in disapproving about Vignette's behavior and action. Cobblepot tried to escape but held by Water Tiger Soldiers. Vignette noticed it as she felt ashamed and concerned about the situation she has make.

"But, B.Y.B.B…" Vignette said in concern and fear.

"It's not a bad thing to want to be better, but not at the expense of other people." Rarity said calmly while looking at her friends, "And especially not your friends."

"Friends?" Vignette asked in surprise before sighed in shame, "I have three million followers, but no real friends. How pathetic is that?"

Rarity could not help but feel sympathetic as she extended her hand out, "Hmmm. You've got one. If you want."

Applejack nodded, "Make that two."

Just as Vignette could reach out her hand, her got cuffed by Shorty, who was still annoyed and angry at her. Everyone gasped in shock and concern of what they saw.

Pinkie facepalmed in disbelief, "Aw come on! Really?! Did you have to add that in, writer?! Can't you just give them a slack?!"

"Shorty! What are you doing?!" Rarity asked in disbelief and concern.

"Arresting her," Shorty answered dryly and firmly, shocking his friends, "After all, she commited a very serious crime, along with her accomplice – Cobblepot."

"But Shorty! It really wasn't' her fault!" Rarity protested.

Applejack nodded, "Yeah. She really didn't know what's really going on. She didn't know that Cobblepot worked for Machine Dragoon."

"Really? Then, I'll list down for all the mess she made so far," Shorty asked angrily and firmly, "She stolen and sold most of my ideas including Equestria Land to Cobblepot. She even took lots of credits from most of designers, who quit their jobs because of her big ego, lack of creativity and has no common sense. She even snapped pictures on all of us and done some stupid customization because she doesn't like it. And the worst of all, she lets Cobblepot and Machine Dragoon roboticized us into Mecha People with her stupid magical phone and its customization mode. Does that excuse for her action?"

Everyone was shocked and worried of what Shorty has said. They are now uncertain and awkward to say about it.

"That's what I thought," Shorty remarked sternly.

"Aw, come on! Can't you cut her some slack?!" Pinkie begged, "I mean we did give some for the Dazzlings, Gloriosa, Bella and Wallflower."

Shorty glared at Pinkie as he explained "Not everyone can just walk away with the crimes they've done. Unlike Ms. Daisy and Wallflower, they never done anything to harm innocents. Bella is performing the community service. The Dazzlings escaped from the prison. As for Vignette, she does it without hesitation or even conscience. She is no exceptional."

"Shorty, please." Rarity pleaded sincerely yet upset. She sighed, "I'm sorry… For everything…"

Shorty glared at Rarity, "It's too late to apologize, Rarity. I don't want to hear another word from you again. Vignette is going to jail."

"Shorty, come on," Saber scolded Shorty.

Applejack nodded seriously, "Yeah. You're being unfair to Rarity."

"Am I?" Shorty sternly asked Saber and Applejack. He scoffed angrily, "Rarity should have listened to our warning than hanging her so-called friend. After all, we're not important to her."

Rarity was hurt of what Shorty has said as she pleaded, "Shorty, I…"

Shorty interrupted firmly and dryly, "Not a word. We're done."

"Don't I get to say anything?" Vignette asked in concern. Shorty glared at her. She sighed, "Sorry I asked."

Shorty pushed Vignette to the Imperial Phoenix Soldiers, who then escorted and moved her to the prison truck. Both One-Eyed Anger and Bullhound also boarded on their vehicles. The Imperial Phoenix Unit moved out and headed straight to the prison. Shorty exited out of the carnival. He firmly turned and looked at his friends especially Rarity, who looked upset and hurt for one last time. He turned and boarded the public bus before it moved out.

Watching her ex-boyfriend leaving her and the team behind, Rarity sighed in shame and upset as she turned and hugged Applejack, who hugged back in comfort.

"Rarity, I'm sorry. For all of this…" Applejack apologized in shame.

"Don't, Applejack. This is on me. I did this, not you or anyone else especially Shorty." Rarity said in tears. She then looked at her, "Applejack, don't hesitate to tell him. Just do it before it's too late."

"Rarity…" Applejack said in surprise and shocked.

"So, what do we do with this?" Pinkie asked in concern while looking at the big mess of Equestria Land. She sighed, "It's a big mess. And no parade…"

"And what's going to happen here?" Fluttershy asked in concern.

"They're not gonna close it, aren't they?" Rainbow Dash asked in fear.

"No." A familiar voice spoke. Everyone turned and looked at Asami and Ciel arrived at the scene. She continued, "But the carnival will definitely need some serious repairs. I called some friends of ours to fix it. And plus, Thunderbolt will take over and manage it. For the moment now, we should leave this place."

Ciel nodded, "Yeah. We all need some time off."

Everyone chattered and muttered in agreement about the situation. Not only Mane Seven and Dragon Strike Force are leaving the carnival, but also the crowd as well since the Equestria Land is now in bad shapes due to their fierce fight against Machine Dragoon and his army.

Both Asami and Ciel accompanied Rarity and Sweetie Belle to their home. They thanked her to the escort. Just as her younger sister entered the house, she was about to enter.

Asami spoke, "I saw and heard what happened. I'm sorry for what Shorty has said."

Rarity sighed, "Don't apologize, Asami. You have nothing to do with this. We both make terrible choices. I wish I could have done something better."

"Well, hopefully, things will get better," Ciel admitted in concern, "He'll get around. I hope."

Rarity hummed in uncertainty, "I hope you're right, Ciel. Because I don't think he and I are back together again."

Rarity calmly turned and entered the house. Both Ciel and Asami looked at each other before sighed in frustration and concern about the situation. They turned and left the place now.

---

Applejack did not follow with her siblings going back home as she and Saber walking down to the downtown's slope, leading straight to their hometown. Ace was still inside his master's pocket after some serious fight they have to go through.

"Today sure is a big mess…" Saber teased a bit. He turned and found Applejack remained silence. He cleared his throat, "Sorry. I was joking. You know, to cheer you up after what has been happening."

Applejack sighed, "I know. I'm just worried about Rarity and Shorty."

"I know me too. But there's nothing we can do now."

"Maybe we should. We're their friends. We should help them."

"We can't. They have to figure this out. For now, they need some space and grieve out from this."

"I guess…"

Saber noticed Applejack's upset and worried looks. He spoke, "Applejack, I know this is not what you're hoping for. But it's for the best."

"It's not that," Applejack answered calmly. Giving some thoughts of what Rarity has told her, she sighed as she looked at Saber, "Saber, there's something I should have told you, a long time ago."

Saber looked surprised and shocked as he asked, "Huh? What is it?"

Applejack looked nervous and uneasy especially her face is blushing in red. She stuttered nervously, "I… I… Saber… I… You…" Saber looked surprised and confused. She took a deep breathe before saying out, "I love you, Saber."

Saber was shocked and surprised by Applejack's declaration of love as his face was blushed in red. Applejack looked embarrassed before looked away as she has the feeling that it might not end well for her.

"Applejack, you really love me?" Saber asked in surprise. Applejack nodded nervously. He approached and gave her a warm hug, surprising her the most. He spoke gently and sincerely, "I love you too, AJ."

Applejack formed some tears in surprise, "R-Really? Do you mean it?"

Saber nodded firmly, "Yeah. Sorry for not saying it out loud."

Applejack sighed as she hugged him back, "Don't say that. I'm glad you and I did. I love you too."

Saber and Applejack leaned towards each other as they gave each other a warm and passionate kiss on lips. The clouds formed up, covering the night and moon. It then poured down the rain on them. They both continued hugging and kissing each other passionately and warmly. Ace awed happily to see them loving each other. They hoped that they'll be together and not break up until their graduation…
