Later that very same day, following their little excursion to the Miami Dolphins Stadium, Ace Ventura and the Equestrian Heroes found themselves in his car driving down the highway. Shortly after Ace uncovered his little clue in Snowflake’s tank, he wouldn’t tell the others ‘what’ it was or ‘why’ it was so important in the first place. ‘Why’ that was… they weren’t sure.
“So… Ace,” Spike spoke, from the back. “Whywon’t you tell us what it is that you found?”
“It’s on a ‘need to know’ basis,” Ace responded.
“Well, we ‘are’ your partners in this whole thing,” Rainbow snarked. “I’m pretty sure we fall under the ‘need to know’ part!”
“Where are we even going anyway?” Rarity asked.
“You said you wanted to head over to the police department, didn’t you?” Ace replied, with a smirk.
“And we’re only doin’ that now because…?” Applejack asked.
“I have my reasons.”
Eventually, Ace pulled right up to the police station and skidded the car to a stop in one of the parking spaces (Much to Spike and the girls’ shock). Pushing through the front door of the facility, Ace confidently strolled into the precinct with his companions following behind him. As they walked, the girls (And Spike) could hear a few cops snickering and making comments.
“Lassie must be missing,” One cop joked to another.
“My, how rude!” Rarity whispered.
“Don’t worry about it Rarity,” Twilight whispered back. “Let’s just get the information on Snowflake, ask about Phantom Dragon, and we’ll be underway.”
“I do hope we find him,” Fluttershy spoke worriedly. “I can’t stand the thought of him out there, all alone and afraid. He must be so worried.”
“When you say ‘him’, do you mean Phantom-Dragon… or Snowflake?” Spike asked curiously.
“… Both.”
“Ahh don’t worry Flutter Butter!” Pinkie replied, placing an arm around her friend. “We’ll find them, or my name isn’t ‘Pinkamena Diane Windowshade Cabrera Chesterfield Pie’.”
“… You never told us that was your full name,” Rainbow pointed out.
“I did now…”
As they walked, an older-looking rotund cop, Aquado by name and one who rather dislikes Ace, stepped up behind them.
“Hey, Ventura!” He called out. “Make any good collars lately?”
“Or were they leashes?” Another cop joked.
The police officers all burst out laughing over the joke they made at Ace’s expense. Spike and the girls just rolled their eyes and shook their heads. As for Ace, he just gave his own sarcastic laugh as Aguado potted a bug upon the group. The big man abruptly stepped on the bug, much to Fluttershy’s dismay.
“Homicide, Ventura!” He mocked toward Ace. “How you gonna solve this one?!”
While all the cops kept laughing, Fluttershy quickly raced forward and knelt before the squashed bug. True, it was a small insect and no doubt there were millions of these species. But still… it hurt her immensely to witness a little creature harmed in such a way.
Meanwhile, Ace turned back toward Aguado after sarcastically laughing.
“Good question, Aguado,” He responded. “First, I’d establish a motive. In this case, the killer saw the size of the bug’s dick and became insanely jealous.”
The other cops reacted with shock, along with Spike and the other Equestria girls.
“Then I’d lose thirty pounds… porking his wife!”
“Oooh!!!” The girls and Spike leaned back.
Aguado, suddenly losing it, swung a fist toward Ace. However, at lightning speed, Fluttershy jumped up and grabbed Aguado’s arm. She proceeded to twist it behind his back, with Aguado cringing his pain. She forced his face toward the ground where the dead bug laid before him.
“How dare you hurt an innocent little bug like that?!” She spoke loudly and angrily. “It was a harmless little creature that did absolutely nothing to you!”
“I wholeheartedly agree!” Ace nodded. “Now kiss and make up!”
That’s when the others felt it was time to intervene as they came up and quickly pulled Fluttershy off of Aguado.
“Alrighty Fluttershy, y’all done made yer point,” Applejack told her.
“But he just…”
“We saw what happened,” Rainbow interrupted Fluttershy. “We know you love all kinds of animals, but we need you to remember the task at hand. We can’t find Phantom or Snowflake if we’re in jail.”
Eventually, Fluttershy calmed down and Ace led them all away while Aguado picked himself back to his feet. Eventually, they approached the desk of Emilio Echavez, a young energetic member of the homicide division. Ace, with a silly impish expression on his face, turned toward the others.
“If you’ll give me a moment, there’s something I gotta do!” He spoke devilishly.
“What are you doing Ace?” Twilight asked suspiciously.
Ace gave no answer as he crept behind Emilio and, for some odd and no apparent reason… he turned and grabbed hold of his rear to make it look like it was talking.
“Excuse me!” He spoke deeply. “I’d like to ass you a few questions!”
Rainbow, Spike, and Pinkie tried so hard to contain their laughter over the humor, while Rarity was rather appalled by such a display. As for Twilight, Fluttershy, and Applejack, they merely turned away out of embarrassment (Applejack tipping her hat over her eyes). Emilio turned back and rolled his eyes over his friend’s antics.
“It’s not a good time, Ace,” He spoke. “If Einhorn sees me talking to you, or your ass, I’m gonna be history!”
“I think I can keep him under control,” Ace reassured. “But you’ll have to tell me who’s working the Snowflake case.”
“Hey man, I can’t say anything. My hands are tied.”
Not liking the answer he received, Ace turned back around… right back to ‘Mr. Ass’.
Billy Gunn?
NO… Not ‘that’ one!!!
“Alright, that’s it; now it’s my turn,” Ace/Mr. Ass spoke. “Five minutes along, that’s all I need.”
“Alright Ace, you’ve made your point,” Twilight sighed.
Just then, a cop approached Emilio’s desk with a hint of fear upon his face.
“Look alive, Einhorn’s on her way down.”
This caused Emilio to grow concerned as well as Spike and the girls tried to convince Ace to quit his antics.
“Seriously Ace, this is quite immature!” Rarity said.
“What’s wrong Rarity?” Ace/Mr. Ass spoke. “Afraid I’ll make a stink?”
Rarity quickly backed away with her jaw dropped in disgust, as Ace kept trying to get information out of Emilio. Until at last, he finally relented.
“Alright, Aguado is working the case man,” Emilio sighed in defeat.
“Aguado?” Ace spoke, with an eye roll. “Good call.”
“That guy is such a poor excuse for a cop,” Rainbow chuckled. “He’s pimple juice; the poster child for lead paint chip eaters.”
It was then Emilio first actually took notice of the group of teenagers.
“And… who are these kids exactly?” He asked Ace.
“My new assistants,” Ace responded simply. “They’ve agreed to help me work the case.”
Emilio turned back toward the group, who all nodded their heads in agreement.
“That’s true Mr. Emilio, sir!” Twilight agreed. “We’re here to help Ace any way we can in finding the missing dolphin.”
“But y’all are kids!” Emilio said skeptically.
“We may not look like much sir,” Fluttershy spoke. “But I happen to have a knack for finding animals.”
“And Applejack over there is quite the expert at herding animals,” Spike added.
“It’s true!” Applejack nodded.
“So if there’s anything you can tell us about the case, we’d be super-duper happy and very appreciative,” Pinkie smiled. “I’ll even bake you a cake!”
“I’m sorry to tell you, but we don’t exactly have a whole lot of information,” Emilio responded. “We’re a little busy with murderers, robberies, and drug dealers. A missing dolphin isn’t exactly a high priority.”
“What you’re saying is… you ‘have’ the information, but you can’t tell us,” Rainbow emphasized, staring daggers. “Or you won’t… we can play hardball too, you know?”
The elevator was getting closer and the fear in Emilio’s gaze only increased by the second.
“Ace, gimmie a break will ya?” Emilio begged.
Meanwhile, Ace nonchalantly sat back in a chair, popping a sunflower seed into his mouth and cracked it loudly.
“Tick tock Senor Emilio,” Pinkie clicked her tongue.
“Okay, okay!” Emilio answered quickly. “We checked all the local animal rights groups, taxidermists, and we’re running a check through DMV on all recent van rentals. So far, nada.
“Any unusual bets being made?” Ace questioned.
“Ace, it’s the Super Bowl, of course there’s bets being made.”
I can vouch for that one…
“What’d you find out about the tank?” Ace questioned further.
“Nothing weird,” Emilio answered. “Just the tire tracks and the exit route. The guard didn’t see anything.”
“That’s it?” Applejack asked, raising a brow. “Are ya sure?”
“That’s it!” Emilio answered nervously. “I swear. Now Ace, please go away!”
“You know something?” Ace asked impishly. “YOU’RE NICE!”
Ace got up and left the room, as the Equestrians watched. Just as Emilio sighed with relief, Ace popped back in.
“What about crazy Philly fans?” Ace asked.
*DING!*
The elevator bell rang. Out stepped police lieutenant Lois Einhorn, mid-30s, with a slender build, a great pair of legs… and a bad attitude.
“Holy Testicle Tuesday!” Ace shouted.
“Dude!” Spike shouted, staring at Ace. “Was that really necessary?”
“What the hell is he doing here?” Einhorn asked Emilio.
“I came to confess,” Ace replied humorously. “I was the second gunman on the grassy knoll.”
“… I don’t get it,” Twilight spoke.
“Spare me the routine, Ventura,” Einhorn rolled her eyes, annoyed. “I know you’re working the Snowflake case. May I suggest you yield to the experts on this one? We’ll find the porpoise.”
“Wheww… now I feel better!” Ace replied, with mock relief.
Ace turned to go when Pinkie Pie looked up at the ceiling, smiled mischievously, and raised her fingers.
“Three… two… one…” Pinkie counted, pointing at Ace.
“Of course, that might not do any good,” Ace continued. “You see, nobody’s missing a porpoise. It’s a ‘dolphin’ that’s been taken. The common Harbor Porpoise has an abrupt snout, pointed teeth, and a triangular thorasic fin.”
“The Bottlenose Dolphin, or Tursiops Truncatus, has an elongated beak, round, cone-shaped teeth, and a distinctive serrated dorsal appendage,” Fluttershy added, then turned away. “But… I’m sure you already knew that.”
Fluttershy again hid her face behind her hair, a piece of which she fidgeted between her fingers. Ace, meanwhile, turned toward Fluttershy with a look that screams ‘Alrighty then’…
“That’s what turns me on about you,” Ace replied. “Your attention to detail.”
*Growls* Watch it, buddy…
Einhorn leaned closer until everyone could see the heated scowl upon her face. If looks could kill, Ace would ‘surely’ be six feet under by now.
“Listen, pet dick!” She growled. “How would you like for me to make your life a living hell?”
“Well, I’m not really ready for a relationship Lois but thank you for asking,” Ace smirked. “Hey… maybe I’ll give you a call sometime, lieutenant. Your number still 911? Alrighty then!”
Einhorn huffed and was about to leave when Twilight Sparkle quickly stopped her.
“Excuse me, Lieutenant Einhorn ma’am,” She interrupted.
“What do you want?!” Einhorn practically spat in response.
“Um well, you see… it’s about our friend. He’s currently missing and we…”
“If you want to file a missing person’s report, talk to internal affairs,” Einhorn responded.
“That’s the problem ma’am, he kind of went missing… outside of this area.”
“Then unfortunately, there isn’t anything I can do about that,” Einhorn spoke, walking away again. “Now if you’ll excuse me—”
“Oh please Miss Einhorn!” Rarity begged. “We need to find him; we can’t go back home without him. At the very least, could you tell us if you hear anything about him? His name is Phantom Dragon.”
All of a sudden, Einhorn froze in her tracks as she slowly turned back around.
“Well… I suppose I can have my men keep an eye out,” She answered. “However, I won’t make any promises. This is a big city, after all… people go missing every day.”
“I understand, we just hope that…”
“I said we’ll do what we can!” Einhorn spoke loudly. “Now please leave the precinct immediately… or else!”
She quickly turned heel and made her way out of the area as quickly as possible. With that, Ace departed from the room with the Mane Six and Spike following behind. They emerged from the precinct and piled back into the car one-by-one. With the police unable, and also unwilling to lend a hand in finding Snowflake or Phantom Dragon, they realized they needed a new course of action.
“What do we do now?” Rainbow asked. “Those bonehead cops aren’t going to do buck at all to help us!”
“Rainbow, language!” Rarity scolded.
Rainbow merely brushed her off and huffed in annoyance.
“Ah know one thing fer sure,” Applejack told them. “That there Einhorn sure knows something ‘bout this whole humdinger.”
“Are you sure?” Twilight asked.
“Course ah am. When we was askin’ her ‘bout Phantom Dragon or Snowflake, ya could see she was clearly trying tah hide something.”
“She certainly did seem on edge,” Spike agreed. “Even I could tell she was doing everything possible just to avoid the question.”
“Well don’t you all worry nothing,” Ace smiled. “Because I still have a few Aces up my sleeve.”
He proceeded to reach right up his sleeve and pulled out a few pictures of himself as a joke. Pinkie Pie was the only one who really seemed to enjoy the joke as she laughed.
“Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!” She laughed. “That is so funny!”
“But seriously, do you have ‘another’ plan?” Twilight asked, straight to the point.
“Of course I do!” Ace nodded. “We gotta go see a buddy of mine. He knows any and ‘all’ things related to finding animals. Buckle up!”
The remainder of the group wasted no time in buckling themselves up as Ace floored the gas pedal and peeled right down the highway en route towards their new lead in this case.
<>
Later that night, the gang pulled up before a wild thrasher club and walked inside. An incredible thrash band was on stage cranking, as a whole bunch of kids jumped wildly into the mosh pit. Everyone walked inside and saw a burnout at the bar, whose head circled insanely to the music.
“Well this is definitely not where I expected we’d end up,” Twilight spoke truthfully, looking around.
“Oh yeah, now this is my kind of place!” Rainbow said excitedly. “Crank up the jams bro!”
Ace proceeded to approach the guy thrashing his head around wildly.
“Excuse me?!” He shouted. “Is Greg here?!”
The burnout’s head thrashed on with the guy having no acknowledgement of Ace.
“Thank you!” Ace shouted again.
Ace made way for the basement stairs with everyone else following closely behind him. As they walked, Spike stopped abruptly as he felt a shooting pain in his head. He quickly clutched his head and started to stumble. Twilight quickly rushed up to check if he was alright.
“Spike, what’s wrong?!” Twilight asked in concern. “You alright?”
“Ahh—it’s—it’s nothing,” He replied shakily. “Whoa… yeah, I’m okay.”
“No, you’re not,” Twilight responded. “I can tell those headaches of yours are getting worse!”
“Don’t worry Twilight,” Spike responded, holding his head. “The music’s just too loud. Just gimme a minute and I’ll be alright. I promise.”
Twilight Sparkle, while certain Spike was just covering up as he always did, nodded her approval, and waited for Spike to catch his bearings. Eventually, the headache slowly started to recede… but then something really weird happened. All at once, Spike started hearing… ‘voices’ inside his own head.
You don’t need her!
You’re stronger than her!
Burn her to a crisp!
Fry her!
Spike merely shook his head quickly until the voices quickly went away. Once he was calm, he turned back toward Twilight.
“Are you alright now?” She asked.
“Uh—y-yeah, all good,” Spike responded, with a small smile. “C’mon… we’re wasting time.”
Twilight narrowed her eyes for a moment before turning around, following the rest of the group to the basement. Spike soon followed after while clutching his head. Ace descended toward the stairs until he stopped upon a large steel door. Ace banged on it three times and a voice was heard from inside.
“What’s the password?!”
“New England Clam Chowder!” Ace responded.
“Is that the red or the white?”
“Ugh!” Ace groaned. “I can never remember that part!”
“White!” Pinkie answered enthusiastically.
The door started to slide open as Ace and the others faced Pinkie with surprise.
“How did you know that was the password?” Rarity asked.
“I didn’t!” Pinkie responded, smiling.
With a shrug, Pinkie skipped along inside while everyone stared after her for the longest moment. But eventually they followed her inside, not even bothering to reward that with further questions. Inside the room it resembled some giant lab of some sorts with Green Peace ‘Save the Whales’ posters abound. Greg a.k.a. Woodstock, a laid back, ex-hippie with long gray hair, sat upon a very impressive computer set up. Ace and he have their own distinct banter.
*Thud*
A thud above drew Pinkie Pie to look above. Part of the ceiling was made of metal grating, so one could see the bottom of the dance floor. A guy’s face got smashed into the grate. In which case, it was the burnout from the club.
“Aw… poor man must’ve partied himself too hard,” Pinkie shook her head.
“Hey Woodstock!” Ace greeted.
“Hey! St. Francis! How’s it goin?” Woodstock responded.
“Super and thank you for asking. Hope you’re having a nice day.”
“Do you?”
“Don’t I?”
Woodstock soon took notice of the rest of the group.
“Who’s the rest of these little birdies?”
“We’re new colleagues of Ace,” Twilight responded. “We’re helping him find the missing dolphin.”
“Well ain’t that great?” Woodstock responded, joyfully. “Nice to see kids taking an interest in helping the animals. Not like those damn spring breakers that come here and pollute our ecosystem.”
“And… what are you up to, Mr. Woodstock sir?” Fluttershy asked curiously.
“Just watching the fishies, little bird,” Woodstock responded.
*BLIP!*
A sound from the computer screen drew Woodstock to roll his chair over to observe. He gestured for Fluttershy and the others to come over, which they did. It showed a map with several ships on the ocean. He quickly tapped in some commands and the ships started sailing in all directions.
“You see those blips?” Woodstock asked.
“I certainly do,” Fluttershy nodded.
“That’s a Norwegian whaling fleet. I’m sending them new directional coordinates… they’ll find Jimmy Hoffa before they find any Humpbacks.”
“Groovy!” Ace smirked.
“Jimmy… Hoffa?” Spike asked curiously.
“Some labor union leader who served as president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters,” Pinkie answered. “Disappeared back in the seventies and was declared legally dead by 1982. He was believed to have been murdered by the Mafia… but that part remains up for debate.”
The rest of the group turned toward Pinkie Pie in confusion, but as usual refused to reward that with any further questions.
“It’s a wonderful thing you’re doing,” Fluttershy smiled. “Helping those poor whales and all.”
“I certainly try my best.”
“Hey, would you mind If I try something Woodstock?” Rainbow requested.
“Go ahead,” Woodstock gestured.
Rainbow Dash approached another monitor. More computer graphics popped up on the screen, as Rainbow rapidly tapped the keys.
“What’re you doing?” Twilight asked suspiciously.
“Changing the formula for this ‘Purina’s Puppy Chow’ thing,” Rainbow replied, facing Applejack. “Too much filler, you know what I mean?”
“I’m very attracted to ya right now,” Applejack smiled.
“Are you?”
“Ain’t I?”
“Get a room, you two…” Spike shook his head.
“Can you still tap into all the aquatic supply stores in the area?” Ace asked.
“Of course I can,” Woodstock replied. “Why?”
“I want to trace the sale of any equipment for transporting or housing a dolphin with the past few months…”
“C’mon, Ace. I thought you might have a challenge for me…”
Woodstock started hacking away as large lists started popping up along the screens.
“Okay then, try to remember the sixties!” Ace suggested.
“Wow! Good one!” Woodstock smirked. “Let’s see… Marine winch sling, feeder fish, 20,000-gallon tank…”
They all kept looking through the screens, seeking anything that might be a possible clue. All of a sudden, after a few moments, something caught Woodstock’s eye.
“That’s it!” Woodstock pointed. “I fund the culprit.”
“Who is it?” Fluttershy asked curiously.
“… Sea World,” Woodstock answered dramatically.
“… Really?” Rainbow raised an eyebrow.
“Hang on, hang on…” Woodstock tapped a couple keys. “Well, what do we have here? That’s a lot of equipment for a civilian.”
The printer spat out some data and Woodstock ripped off the page, handing it to Ace.
“Ronald Camp? The billionaire?” Ace questioned.
“Billionaire and rare fish collector,” Woodstock nodded.
“RRREHEHEALLY!” Ace smirked.
“I’m guessing you’re not a fan of this Mr. Camp?” Rarity pointed out.
“You got that right missy,” Woodstock nodded. “That, my friend, is the face of the enemy. Always tryin’ to get his hands on endangered species…”
“How terrible!” Fluttershy gasped.
Newspaper articles rapidly fill the screen. One showed a picture of Camp and some Dolphin players.
“Hold on, this guy’s connected with the Dolphins?” Twilight observed.
“Camp donated the land the new stadium’s built on,” Woodstock informed. “And look at this, he’s throwin’ another, ‘I’m the richest man in the universe’ party.”
Ace and the rest of the group faced each other as it has become apparent that they just found themselves a new lead on the case.
“Well, that’s certainly something worth looking into at the very least,” Twilight told them.
“I completely agree Twilight,” Ace nodded. “Looks like we’re partying tonight ladies and gentleman.”
“You had me at party!” Pinkie squealed with delight. “Ooh! One of us should remember to buy some chips and dip!”
“I hate it to break it to you Ace darling,” Rarity pointed out. “But if you really think about it, this man has a great deal of money and I’m certain he only throws the most riveting parties for the elite. How do you propose we get in?”
Ace thought about the question, as a smile spread across his face.
“Hmm… looks like it’s time to get myself a date.”
Ah, the butt talking, that never gets old.
I really liked the part where Fluttershy twisted that asshole's arm. Next time they meet, she should give him the Stare. I can just imagine him pissing his pants.
Einhorn definitely knows something.
And uh-oh, Spike is getting worst. Definitely Gears 5 vibe going on here.
Mr. E don't tell me the dust will turn Spike into Spikezilla again.
Lois Einhorn... yes folks, if you ever had that one boss who makes it very clear that they do not like you, even if you weren't the 'worst' employee in your jobsite... this is that boss in a nutshell. But it's plain to see that Einhorn may know more about this case than our heroes realize... 'two' cases in this scenario. Whatever that may be, our heroes will need the additional means of uncovering every possible piece of evidence that may connect with these mysterious disappearances. And luckily, Ace has a few close friends with the skills to pull up all the possible dirt as possible... especially given he's all for animal protection himself.
As for Spike... oh yes, something's happening with him and it's more than either headaches or possible teenage hormone behavioral ordeals. I think we all know how this started too... course, only the more intuitive members may catch on to what I'm referring to without me having to play 'Daddy' and tell them the answer.
11313464
Eh... not my favorite kind of humor, but that's Jim Carrey being... well, Carrey.
11313473
It just goes to show why you should be wary of Fluttershy when pushed to some measure of extremes. Turns out she's much stronger than she appears to be.
11313480
And what do you know? Somebody actually started to catch on to a 'slight' possibility.
*sigh* Someone's downvoting the comments... again.
Discord's Theatre, Galaxy Branch
Sunset Shimmer: A bit secretive aren't we?
Ahsoka Tano: We all have our secrets.
Han Solo: Ain't that the truth.
Lando Calrissian: Kid does have a point.
Postwar: For once.
Sunset Shimmer: (Offended) Hey!!
Postwar: Come on, this is Rainbow we're talking about.
Sunset Shimmer: (Wanted to say something, thought about it, and...) Okay, good point.
Petro: Oh sure, now he wants to take them to law enforcement.
Mando: If he didn't go there, he must've done it for a reason.
Postwar: Your theories Mando?
Mando: Two things. Either he did something illegal.
Galen Marek: What's the other?
Mando: He's a joke to his fellow law enforcement.
Postwar: Every precinct's got them. Some folks are never respected or appreciated.
Sunset Shimmer: Speaking from experience?
Postwar: Before my time with the CA.
Sunset and Postwar sighs and shook their heads, but couldn't help but smile.
Sunset & Postwar: Classic Fluttershy.
Leia Organa: She really is compassionate about animals.
Luke Skywalker: The galaxy needs more people like her.
Everyone, especially Sunset and Postwar, looked baffled:
All: Pinkamena Diane Windowshade Cabrera Chesterfield Pie?!
Sunset Shimmer: I didn't know she had three more names. (Looks at Postwar) Did you know she had three more names?
Postwar: I had no idea.
Sunset sighs and rubs her forehead:
Postwar: Brining back bad memories of your bullying days?
Sunset Shimmer: You have no idea.
Postwar, out of instinct, hugged her:
Postwar: That's all in the past. Especially your dark days when you came to the galaxy. But you've got good people here helping you, so you shouldn't brush it off. You've got a good heart and you always will.
Sunset couldn't help but smile and hugged her new friend.
Zatt: She really loves animals.
Gungi growled in it's native tongue, wishing that he had met Fluttershy.
All: Oooohhhh.
All: Ooooohh.
Leia Organa: He really knows how to lay it down, doesn't he?
Postwar: Speaking from experience? (Leia looks at him with a glare)
Ganodi: Whoa.
Byph: I think I like this version of her.
Postwar: She may be shy when it comes to talking to people, but when it comes to animals and her friends' safety and concern, she's like a regular angel of protection.
Sunset Shimmer: That she is. (Sunset remembers fondly of her and her Fluttershy.)
Galen Marek: Agreed. They have higher priorities right now.
The girls rolled their eyes whilst the guys snickered at Ace's antics.
Sunset Shimmer: You actually find this funny?
Postwar: Trust me, it takes a certain person to make you laugh at the most unexpected times.
Sunset Shimmer: (Remembers Pinkie Pie and all the times she made her laugh, whilst she couldn't help but smile). Yeah, they kind of do.
Leia Organa: He is got to be kidding.
Postwar: Think of it like an interrogation technique, only like this.
R2-D2 beeped a couple of times.
C3-PO: I agree, there are better ways to ask for information than this.
Katochi: Who's Einhorn.
Ganodi: I think the person's like a commanding officer or something.
Postwar: Tell that to Pinkie Pie.
Han Solo: She tends to act like a child. Then again she does make things exciting.
Leia Organa: I thought you didn't like them.
Han Solo: Hey, I got to know them first and it turned out they weren't half bad.
Chewbacca growls in agreement in his tongue.
Lando Calrissian: He's not wrong there.
Postwar: You can't expect to lead anyone if they can't properly do their part and not have some respect to your fellow man. If you don't then you're no better than the folks you fight.
Petro: (Looks at him surprised). Wow, that's deep.
Postwar: Technically they're full adults. It's not their fault their magic makes them look younger when they turn human. (Whispers to Sunset). Though I'm surprised you didn't age when you went back to Equestria.
Sunset Shimmer: (Whispers to Postwar) I'm a bit surprised myself. Guess that tends to happen when you stay on one world for too long.
Postwar: When it comes to a home team wanting to win to raise moral for other folks, everything, is a priority.
Luke Skywalker: Indeed, if you can't, you can't expect others to do their part if their morale is very low.
Leia Organa: So much for being informative.
Cal Kestis: You can't exactly expect to go in without any full information.
Postwar: Gambling can be a dangerous enemy. Right? (Looks at both Lando and Han, who had both sheepish looks). You know it reminds me of that story in China about a golden dragon.
Sunset Shimmer: Oh yeah, I know that story. Especially the moral of it.
Huyang: The moral.
Sunset & Postwar: Greed will imprison us all.
Postwar: It is one of the seven deadly sins.
Luke Skywalker: Exactly what happened to the Sith before Darth Bane came to be.
Postwar: That's like trying to figure out how Pinkie Pie's mind works.
Sunset Shimmer: Tell me about it.
Postwar: Pff, if you're an expert than I'm Boba Fett. (Gets a chuckle from a few and a fist bump from Galen)
Cal Kestis: I'm surprised there aren't many people like them that are knowledgeable about animals.
Mando: Most folks only care about money than others. (Gets a look from the others). Don't go there.
Everyone groans in disgust:
Postwar: No offense dude, but she's not your type.
Zatt: Wow, this guy's not afraid, is he?
Postwar: Oh he is, he just does a better job at not showing it.
Ganodi: Real ray of sunshine, isn't she?
Lando Calrissian: You get some folks with a lot of fire.
Everyone looks at her suspicious.
Postwar: You all see that? (He knows but will not say anything)
Sunset Shimmer: She definitely knows something.
Ahsoka Tano: Agreed.
Galen Marek: Glad we're not the only ones who noticed.
Postwar: Like any detective, one also needs to know one's body language in order to understand them better.
Leia Organa: Where did you learn that?
Postwar: A certain Dark Knight taught it to me and a few others.
Postwar: We all need a laugh every now and then. (Makes a few silly faces in front of Sunset, making her and a few others laugh)
Han Solo: What's that place supposed to be.
Postwar: It's almost like a Canteena, but very different.
Lando Calrissian: They could fix their music a little though.
Han Solo: Whoa, what's wrong with him?
Luke, Sunset, Ahsoka, Cal, Galen and Postwar groaned a bit as they held the sides of their heads, as if they felt something.
Sunset Shimmer: (Looks at the others). You guys feel that?
Luke Skywalker: I sense a darkness growing in Spike.
Postwar: I was afraid of this. Ever since he got blasted by the Legion, something felt off.
Sunset Shimmer: (Looks at Postwar) And you didn't tell them.
Postwar: Hello, Benefactor?
Sunset Shimmer: Oh yeah, right.
Byph: Passwords are really trickey.
Petro: Yeah, tell me about it.
Sunset & Postwar: (Rolling eyes whilst smiling), Classic Pinkie Pie.
Leia Organa: This guy likes to be prepared.
Mando: Wish there were folks like that to help me out. They never inform you fully on the job until it's too late.
Katochi: Wow, now I really wish there were folks like him to look after the animals in the galaxy.
Postwar: Don't we all? (Everyone nods in agreement)
Petro: How the heck does she...?
Sunset & Postwar: It's Pinkie Pie, don't question it!!
Ahsoka Tano: What is she doing?
Cal Kestis: I think we'll find out soon enough.
Everyone chuckles at that.
Mando: People are always too scared to take any real challenges.
Postwar: Yeah, the Mandalorians sure do. I even remember Sour Sweet and the others had donned Mandalorian armor.
Sunset Shimmer: (Looks at him surprised) They did?
Postwar: What, it wasn't just Princess Twilight and her friends that tried to look for you, the Rainbooms and the Shadowbolts tried to find you, even Wallflower.
Sunset was surprised by this, then looks away.
Sunset Shimmer: (Inner thought) I really do owe them big time.
Han Solo: You get those?
Postwar: You get collectors of everything.
Sunset Shimmer: Trust me, you really do.
Grogu also wailed in worry, with Postwar petting his head.
Leia Organa: Glad I don't have to do that.
Postwar: Because of...you know.
Leia looked down in sadness, nodding in confirmation, with Sunset holding her hand to support her, which the former Princess appreciated.
Some rolled their eyes on her statement.
Lando Calrissian: The lady's got a good point Ace.
Ganodi: Looks like someone's got a plan.
Katochi: A very mischievous plan.
Postwar: Who doesn't come up with one?
Sunset Shimmer: Not many that we know of.
awesome!

Well that's not creepy at all
I never liked Einhorn. She may be in charge, but she's a total jerk. She's also very rude to Twilight and her friends.
Einhorn knows something about Phantom, and she doesn't want the others to know. And those cops. I hate cops like that who make jokes at others and act like because they're the law they can treat others with disrespect. People like that shouldn't be cops since they'd just abuse their authority. And Spike's starting to hear voices in his head, and they're telling him to do stuff he would never do.
11313542
Amazing work, P.W. Keep up with amazing progress.
11313551
Thanks very much. We do what we can to provide for our supportive fans.
11313564
Yeah... almost makes you not want to go to work if you realize your boss is that... well... you know?
Thankfully, the bosses I work with at my library are nothing like that.
11313596
As if police officers didn't have that bad enough rep already. Course, this wasn't the first time they showed lack of respect with their colleagues. Remember the 'Zootopia' fiasco?
11313634
Thanks Dramamaster, appreciate it.
Well she's clearly in on both disappearances. Can only wonder what's going on with Spike there. I also realize how much of a clash the girls are in a modern-day police station, not just in looks but in personality, of course that's the beauty of it. On a side note I like how the animated series retained Woodstock and a few other minor characters.
I'm worried about Spike, those headaches and voices are not good, in my experience. Anyway, Einhorn definitely knows something...and this Camp guy sounds like he'll be their best lead. I just hope he lives up to his name
Get it?
...I'll see myself out
11313636
Yeah, I know what you mean. My boss is really kind to me. we usually talked to each other during lunch and having a nice time.
What’s wrong with Spike?
11313703
He is suffering from the effects of the black smoke that was thrown at him during the events of Wrestlemania.
11313714
I skipped that one; I'm not a huge Scooby Doo fan as I used to be, the Live Action movies I will watch for nostalgia's sake but other than that I don't care much for SD nowadays.
Extra Cut
Me: What reasons?
Ace: You'll see
Extra Cut
Me: Definitely both.
Extra Cut

Probably a brain dead hacker.
11313635
Welcome
Im worried about Spike, something is messing with his head, awesome chapter with so many laughs, brilliant
11314029
Something is definitely stirring within Spike. Hopefully our heroes will catch on before it's too late. Other than that, this was a pretty funny chapter.
Isn't it supposed to be HIS wife?
11314311
Well Drama, not only you and Mr E approved a good chapter, but now we have our first suspect.
I had high expectations for this chapter, but it has been better than I expected. The ass talking, another characteristic of Ace (Francis?) Ventura. It seems that the police and Ace don't get along, either because of his particular personality or they just make fun of him because he deals with animals. Lois Einhorn is no exception, but her reaction when Snowflake and Phantom Dragon are mentioned is strange, why? And I'm starting to worry about Spike, I hope those voices aren't because he has schizophrenia. The cockroach... I saw it coming, but not like that. Not that I like bugs, but that cop deserved it for being smart.
Returning to the case, Ace and our heroes meet Woodstock, another animal lover who knows a lot when it comes to wildlife crime. Now they have a suspect, billionaire Ronald Camp, who loves having endangered species. How will they get in? And when will Ace tell them what that stone is that he found?
11314503
We're glad to offer you a stellar chapter to read, we did our best with it. Maybe it's because Ace doesn't quite trust the Equestrian Heroes just yet... or his mindset makes him seemingly absent-minded. But that stone is definitely going to be a vital clue to this case and if he sees them as his assistants in this case, he's going to need to let them into his theory as to what this case is leading up to. But for now, they do have a suspect possibly connected to this crime. Even if he's 'not' the guy responsible for the kidnapping, he may offer some clues that could prove most useful for the crew.
A small break in the movie
As the audience awaited what was to come I reviewed the new security systems I installed with Zecora.
Myself: " Ok. The new Anti shape shifting mat is placed in the entrances, if any shape shifter enters or leaves in a form not their own they will glow and be returned to their original forms.
Thanks for that paint Zecora."
Zecora: " Do not thank me for the safety of this establishment is plain to see. If you have not retrieved the recipe for potion this solution would not be in motion."
Myself: "Indeed next comes these cameras and audio recorders from Velma of Mystery Inc and finally a watcher for both the inside and outside."
I whistled and in a rush came in Fluffy the same three headed dog from Hogwarts.
Ocellus: " Fluffy!"
The five of us ( including Fluffy's other two heads) turned to find Ocellus emerging from the corner. Was she spying on us the whole time?
Fluffy remembered Ocellus and was very happy to see her again as he approached her and gave her a big lick from each head and she laughed trying to get him to stop.
Once everyone calmed down I asked Ocellus why she was here and she said she wanted to apologize for attacking me and I told her it was ok because I would have done the same in her place. Afterwhich I left everything to Zecora and escorted Ocellus back to the others.
As Ocellus and I reentered the room the remaining Yong Six came up asking if things were okay.
Smolder took one sniff and asked why she smelled like a dog and Ocellus said, " Let’s just say three old friends were happy to see me."
Now back to the movie.
Shining Armor: " A solider is only as good as his comrades. "
Gilda: "In other words he's winging it."
The Audience knod in agreement. As they watched Ace and the Mane Six enter the police station.
Celestia: " How disgraceful!
" Ooooh!!" Said some of the young ones too.
I never liked Einhorn, when I used to work with Ace, she would constantly breathe down our necks, I understand she's just doing her job, but it just felt like she hated us for no reason. I even have her on a little list of people I despise.
11318292
That's why she's suspect number 1, there's more to her then we think we know.
11318597
Tom: (in riffing mode) So now that you’re back, Do you want to take care of the commentaries for The EG branch now or should I continue?
11319348
You better take of it, cause my older brother's death days is coming up and I got a mom who is starting to act like a freak.
11319688
(In riffing mode) So that’s a yes?
11319868
It means that you are still doing the commitment.
Gilda: " Something stupid I guarantee."
And just like that the kids and Garble started laughing. Even I found it funny.
Apple Bloom: " No they're not! They're typing."
Sugar Belle: " No sweetie, when a pony or other creature says ' Their hands/ hooves/ claws are tied' it means they're busy with other stuff."
Shining Armor stood up in response, an old soldier's hobbit you can say.
Celestia: "Those kids! Are more capable then your entire force."
Luna: "They even put your Day Guard, my Thestral and Cadence's Crystal soldiers to shame."
Garble: " Oh the old know but not tell plot.
Classic in many stories."
The others looked at h and he said, " Yes I read occasionally! Where do you think I get my inspiration for my poems."
Silverstream: : " Impressive!"

Animaniacs, no bet.

Canterlot Mall Theater, Discord's Branch
Sunny Flare: That's part of working together.
Rarity: It looked like orange amber. I do have an eye for gems.
Sci-Twi: What is wrong with him?! He's driving like a maniac!
Rainbow: or Vin Diesel.
Pinkie: It's all about family, girls!
Rarity: I agree with myself, Such Rudeness.
Pinkie: That's weird.....
Flash: THAT's Weird to you?
Pinkie: Yeah,.…...because My full name is Pinkamena Diane Lampshade Cabrera Chesterfield Pie.....Who gives their child “Windowshade” as their middle name?.….It makes no sense…
Everyone and the pets just slap their foreheads and shake their heads.
Applejack: Such disrespect for the freelance detective!
Sci-Twi: My brother's in the Police force and i used to visit it with him and nobody there was this rude.
Pinkie: Yeah, Everybody knows that police officers are completely sympathetic to people of all kinds.
Everybody then looks at each other then awkwardly return to looking at the screen.
Everyone: Ewww.
Fluttershy: (GASP!)
The Pets and Spike growl and chitter angrly at him.
Fluttershy: That was so cruel and despicable and i feel as bad as my other self.
Everyone: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!
Pinkie: BUUURN!
Indigo: OOOOH, SNAP!
Lemon Zest: Aw, Nah he DID-NNNNNNN'T!!
Applejack: Flutters, Is that what you would have done if you were there?
Fluttershy:..........nnooooooooooooo........
Rainbow:....ok, you're starting to scare me...
Snails: That is my kind of humor!
Snips: (laughing) I know, Right? ASSK you some questions!
As the boys and Spike were laughing, the girls except Pinkie and Rainbow were just shaking their heads in disgust.
Pinkie: Aaawwww, I wanted his autograph!
Sci-Twi: Who's Autograph? What are you talking about?
Pinkie: OOOOOOh,....BUM! Ba Bum Bum!
Sci-Twi: He's a disgrace to both the badge and title of 'Officer'. And i would know!
Pinkie: Tell that to Scooby-Doo and Us, Jack!
Flash: Yeah, we can be just as capable of solving a mystery as anybody,.....except Aguado.
He and Microchips high-five after the slam.
Sour Sweet: (Sweetly) You got a limited time set....
(Sour) So, Spill the beans or else it's your job!
Suddenly, Spike and the other pets and animals including Slappy started to go mad and begun to bark, growl, yowl and chitter angerly at the very sight of the lieutenant.
Sci-Twi: Whoa, Spike! What's gotten into you?
Wallflower: OW! No! Slappy! What did we say about Slapping me to express anger towards others-OW! NO!
Fluttershy: You know, They say animals can be a big judge of character!
Trixie: So Trixie has come to the conclusion that this Einhorn is not a good person.
Sunny Flare: But Why is the true question?
Fluttershy: and it also helps for when they swim with their Echo location at night.
Sci-Twi: I can't believe i'm about to say this,....But she's as cruel as Cinch!
Sugarcoat: Possibly even worse!
The other shadowbolts nod in agreement.
Trixie: Trixie never cared for her or this 'Einhorn'.
Both Applejacks take note by reading her face and reactions.
Applejack: I can vouch for me too. She's definitely hiding something about Snowflake and Phantom.
Rainbow: I admit she seems like a jerkbag, but how could you possibly know that?
Applejack: Her face and body language said it all. She was getting all tense and tried to road block Ace and company from continuing the Snowflake case. And right when Princess Twilight mentioned this Phantom guy, she was practically stopped in her tracks and got touchy when she said she would handle it.
Rainbow:........well,....that was actually a good conclusion.
Sci-Twi: Impressive!
Pinkie: I know, right?! It's both literally and figurative! HAHAHAHAHAAAA!
Lemon Zest: Dude,.....This...... totally...... ROCKS!
Indigo Zap: You can say that again!
Pinkie: This Music really energizes my Chakras! Cannibal Corpse is the BEST!
Rainbow: (thrashing her head) I can feel the guitar in my SOUL!!!!
At the same time, Spike started to hear a weird sound and music which made him start to tweak out and since the music from the band on stage was so loud, no one notice him.
Pinkie: White!
Everyone looked at her.
Sci-Twi: And How did you know?
Pinkie: I didn't either. I just really like White clam chowder and i was just craving it just now at the mention of it.
Sci-Twi: ah.....never mind.
Pinkie: He's resting.....
Scootaloo: Must be a heavy sleeper.
Apple Bloom: Nice one!
Sandelwood: I have never related more with anyone else in my life! I'm getting such good vibes with him.
Microchips: And I gotta say, he's got quite an impressive lab.
Sci-Twi: Jimmy Hoffa was a ruthless union organizer and head of the teamsters in the 50s and 60s, known for his ties to organized crime and his mysterious disappearance!
Pinkie: Good recap, Twi! Also, Jimmy Hoffa wasn't a diaper wearing baby.
Sugarcoat: He was once like the rest of us and we would have probably gotten our answer from the movie soon. We're not in school right now.
Sugarcoat: See?
Pinkie: Hey Rainbow, Do you think it's weird that your counterpart and AJ's counterpart are an item?
Rainbow: What? Why would you say that?
Applejack: It's none of our business both here and in their world.
When Pinkie just shrugs and looks back at the screen, both Rainbow and Applejack were now blushing awkwardly and in embrassment.
Flash: Beside, Einhorn, we just got another suspect on our list.
Snips: Hey, Snails. Are you thinking what i'm thinking?
Snails: I think so, Snips. But why would Be More Chill the musical be made into a movie?
Trixie:......I can't believe you used to be my supporters.....
Wallflower: Trust me. Take it from me and Juniper’s experience as part time reporters, This is going to be a high class party for the best of the best in the business.
Juniper: Exactly! This one is not just some party where you can just waltz in and expect to get off scot-free. You would need connections to get you in something like this. How in the world are they going to get in this manor to investigate this guy?
Sci-Twi: And i think i know how they are getting in the party.
Spike: Now, I don't speak Ace or detective, but me thinks there's going to be a plan.
Pinkie: Time to crash a suspect's party!
Next>>>
Everyone: " No he doesn't!"
Gilda: " This is not gonna end well but the most information you can find is in places like this."
Silverstream: " Well he's very friendly. "
Gallus: " Yes very friendly!"
Gilda: " Good! A lead.
Okay Drama and Mr.E.
Here’s what I’ve gotten thus far:
1. Ponyville Branch
Massager: Slowly improving. Dialogues need spacing. Grammars needed work. (<<Previous and Next>> links are missing). Didn’t label their branch.
Wolfram-and-Hart: (specializing the guest-stars) MIA (Missing-in-action)
2. Equestria Girls
Someone else is working on it, besides Shadowshion.
Dialogues need spacing. A few grammar errors.
3. Galaxy
Like you said Drama, PostWar has shown remarkable work of storytelling, solid reactions, and excellent writings that is engaging to the readers.
4. Future G5
Kathmlp: Improving. (<<Previous and Next>> links are missing). Didn’t label their branch.
5. Extra Cuts
Needs more storytelling to engage. (<<Previous and Next>> links are missing)
