> Mystic Equestria Girls > by Shadow Master > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > S1E1: The Claw of Tiger > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aqua worn a dark crimson sports attire with tiger symbol and sneakers. She was very busy and focused on punching hard against the punching bag as hard and firm as she can. Her older brother - Brave Tiger, still on his wheelchair, was helping and training his younger sister for boxing. Since he was injured from his last boxing competition, he has to make preparation for his sister to take his place and win for the boxing's final championship. Rainbow, Indigo and Scootaloo were there and watching her training. All of them were amazed and inspired by Aqua's determination on training. "Wow. I didn't know that Coach Aqua was good at boxing," Scootaloo remarked in amazement. She whistled happily, "She's so awesome!" "Totally!" Indigo exclaimed in agreement, "I wonder if Blaze really did challenge her to boxing." Rainbow scoffed, "If he did, he'd be losing to her." "Come on, sis! Put a heart into it!" Brave snapped wildly and determinedly, "You don't want those losers to beat the crap out of you, don't you!" Aqua grunted firmly as she slammed very hard punches at the punching bag for five times, "Not a chance, bro! Not while I'm still standing, I'm not gonna let anyone win!" "That's the spirit, kiddo! Show them what we're made of! Show them that we Tigers never back down easily from the fight!" "Oh yeah! This tiger girl is gonna show them!" "And the going gets tough?" "The tough gets going! And trust me, bro! I'm gonna show the world that the Tigers are still the champion of boxing competition! You can count on it!" "Booyah, sis! Now, let me hear your roar!" Aqua gave a powerful and thunderous tiger's roar-like as she gave a strong punch at the punching bag. It bounced off and knocked straight to the walls hard. Three schoolgirls awed in amazement and surprise. They then gave a loud cheers for her. "Woo! Nice going, kiddo!" Brave Tiger exclaimed happily, "Looks like you're ready!" Aqua smirked, "Oh yeah! You know me, bro!" "Wow. My little sister is getting impatient," The confident yet calm girl's voice spoke. Everyone turned to the back and found an older yet beautiful woman with short yet curvy brown hair. She worn loosely and sleeveless red shirt-like with purple patterns, red arm sleeves, red sexy-looking skirt with golden flower pattern, red sleeves and golden heels. She is Tigress. She smiled, "I can't remember the last time she wanted to get in the fight." Brave sighed before looked at Rainbow, "The very day she lost her last boxing competition. She got her back hurt because she stopped crazy rival of hers from berserk and attacking her protege." Rainbow laughed uneasily, "Whoopsy." "On the contrary, big bro," Aqua disagreed while smiling happily, "It did help me to change my career and helped some kids to be awesome athletes especially Rainbow Dash. She's kinda remind me of myself." Rainbow blushed in red, "Aw, thanks..." Scootaloo giggled, "Totally! Rainbow is the captain of all sport clubs! Don't mess with her." Indigo laughed a bit, "Oh yeah. I'm also the captain of sport clubs, and also the champion of martial art competition too! No way she can beat me that!" "Oh?!" Rainbow asked amusingly, "Is that a challenge?" Indigo smirked, "If you're not too chicken to take me on!" Rainbow scoffed, "I am so on, rookie!" "Okay, enough with the silly fight," Tigress said firmly and calmly, "It's time, guys! Courage is waiting for us now." Brave smirked while looking at Aqua, "Are you ready for the big challenge?" Aqua scoffed, "Big brother, I am so born for it! Surf's Up!" Brave, Tigress and Aqua gave each other a big high-five slaps on each other's hands before gave a loud thunderous roar. Rainbow, Indigo and Scootaloo cheered wildly and happily. At the boxing ring arena, the crowds went wildly and excitedly for the boxing competition. The referee came to the ring. He stood on it as he gave the announcement. "What's up, everyone! Are you ready for some action pack?!" The referee asked proudly and wildly. The crowds went wild and happy. He smirked, "Great response, folks! We've got tons of boxing competitors, and they're very hungry for the big competition! So, get ready for rumble!" Courage Tiger the young light reddish adult man with brown spiky short mane worn a yellow shirt, dark red-black jacket and jean was sitting down on his seat. He was accompanied by Scarblade - a scarred black samurai-like bodyguard worn a reddish uniform, black tie, black vest and black agent-like suits and jean, black shoes and worn the black hat, and Riverstrike - a white man with long lighter and dark brown hair worn white uniform with bow tie, red vest, black jean and black shoes. "Scarblade, Riverstrike, do you believe that my sister can win this fight?" Courage asked in concern. He hummed in concern, "She hasn't been in boxing competition since the incident." Scarblade smiled a bit, "She can handle it. She's your sister." "I agreed with Scarblade's confidence," Riverstrike said calmly, "She's been through a lot of far worse situations than this. I'm sure nothing can her beat down easily." Courage hummed thoughtfully. He smiled, "I guess you're right." He turned and found his family has arrived to join the party. He approached to them. He looked at Aqua, "Are you ready for making the comeback, Aqua?" Aqua smirked, "I am so ready!" To her surprise, Courage hugged her passionately and gently. She was confused and surprise to ask, "Uh... Courage..." Courage departed from hugging Aqua. He smiled, "Stay alive and don't lose. Make our father proud, Aquastroke." Tigress nodded, "Yup. They don't call our dad - Tiger of Wu for nothing." "Yeah, you've said it," Brave agreed. He patted Aqua's back, "Knock them dead, kiddo!" Aqua smirked, "I'm so ready! Make way for Aqua the Tiger Girl's comeback!" Rainbow, Scootaloo and Indigo cheered, "Woohoo! Go, Aqua! Knock them dead!" Aqua nodded firmly as she headed off and got into the ring. The rest of her family and friends gotten into the V.I.P's seats while Brave Tiger, Riverstrike and Rainbow remained at the ring for help and support. She stretched herself out while readied with her battle gloves for the fight. She smiled and stood proudly for the crowd. She then gave a loud thunderous tiger roar. "Make way for the daughter of Tiger Clan and the return of Tiger Girl - Aquastroke! Get ready for big rumble!" Throughout whole day's long competition, Aqua fought various international competitors. Though they have proven difficulties and challenges for her, she managed to overcome the odds and defeated them. It was thanks to Brave Tiger's bravado speech, Riverstrike's strategies, Rainbow's enthusiasm cheer and her family's supports. She continued pressing forwards and defeated all of them until she reached to the finals. Aqua was ready to face off against her final competitor - a lighter brown colored Stormwar with darker brown with beige streak worn the metallic battle armor boxing attire-like. She is from South Korea. Both Aqua and Stormwar were readied for the finals. With the bell rang, both Aqua and Stormwar charged and began their battle. They both began punching on each other's face and chests, but also they blocked the attacks for few times. Though Stormwar is not strong as her, she's very fast and swift of dodging the attacks while hitting on her weak spots. This doesn't injured her much, but weakened her speed and strength as she missed and unable to give a hard punch at her target. This allowed Stormwar to punch on her chest five times before giving a powerful uppercut punch at her face. Aqua fell on the ground hard, As the referee counted down from one to ten, Aqua groaned as she struggled to move her limbs and get up. Almost counting down to 7, she groaned in pain as she's still on the ground. Looking at her worried and disappointing family and friends, Aqua looked shock before groaned in anger. She gave a loud thunderous roar. She has her both hands to punch on the ring, making her to get up and stand on the ground, halting referee from counting down. And just before two competitors could start the boxing, the bell rang, halting the rumble. Stormwar and Aqua sighed in relief. She turned and returned to her group while her competitor returned to her side. They're now taking a break. Rainbow helped clean her coach's sweats off and even gave her some drinks as well. Riverstrike checked on her conditions and wounds. Brave Tiger made Aqua to look at him for another speech and talk about winning the round. "How are you doing, kiddo?" Brave asked calmly. Drinking up whole bottle of water, Aqua sighed, "Couldn't be any worse than before, bro. So, what's the plan and how's my condition?" "Looks fine so far on the outside. But I suspect that her ability is to siphon out her energy including speed and strength. Thus, this allowed her to take advantage to defeat you. If I'm correct about her, Stormwar's power is lightning that could drain out her energy." Riverstrike said calmly. He hummed thoughtfully, "And the only way to defeat her is you have to evade her punches and keep on hitting without stopping." Aqua groaned, "Easy to say than done, you know, Mr. Know-It-All." "Hey, cut that attitude of yours, kiddo." Brave snapped firmly, "Remember what we're made of?! Remember of why we're the best?! Remember of who you are?! And more importantly, remember our motto, little sis!" Aqua grunted a bit. Rainbow stand up and spoke, "When the going gets tough, the tough gets going! And also, you're Aquastroke - the Tiger Girl and daughter of Tiger Clan! Tiger Clan never lose and always still the champion! And not to mention, you're my inspiration! You're the best coach CHS ever has!" Aqua looked surprise and amazed to smile, "Yeah. You're right." Rainbow helped Aqua to looked at her family, "Look at them! They're counting on you, Aqua! They need you to win for them and the school! Don't you dare to disappoint them and give up!" "Come on! Aqua, keep on fighting!" Tigress cheered wildly, "Your big sis is counting on you!" Courage nodded firmly, "Don't ever give up, Aqua! You can still win!" "Never ever accept defeat," Scarblade said firmly. "Go, Aqua, Go!" Indigo and Scootaloo cheered wildly and proudly, "Tiger Girl, keep on fighting!" Aqua was touched and inspired. Rainbow continued, "There is no way that our Canterlot High School's best coach is gonna lose this fight! Coz she'd never back down without the fight." Aqua shown determination looks, "Yeah! I'd never give up!" Rainbow nodded and smirked proudly, "So, get out there and shown them what the Tigers are made of!" "Hell yeah!" Aqua exclaimed proudly as she got up from the seat. She readied for the fight, "Get ready for final round! Coz the Tiger is gonna win!" Rainbow cheered, "Woohoo! Go get them, Tiger Girl!" Riverstrike whistled, "Amazing. She's truly has the spirit of tiger." Brave smiled, "Yeah. That girl is so awesome." RING! Aqua and Stormwar gave a loud battle cries. They charged and began their fierce boxing at each other. Stormwar began punching at Aqua, who dodged and evaded the attacks as fast as she can, avoiding her energy siphon and drained out while punching her off for few rounds. Though she managed to dodge the attacks, the competitor managed to hit her and siphon some energies out. Nevertheless, Aqua remained standing firm and able to fight back as hard as she can. Everyone cheered wildly and proudly for the boxers to win the fight. Rainbow and her friends cheered and supported for Aqua to win the fight. After few rounds have passed, both Aqua and Stormwar became exhausted and tired from punching. They readied themselves for the final punch. Both of them gave a loud battle cry. They charged and launched their very powerful punch, landing on each other's faces hard. They're both still standing on the ground firmly for the moment. Everyone gasped as they looked surprise and uneasy to wonder of who's still standing. Stormwar grunted in pain as she fell on her back hard. Aqua remained standing still. The referee counted down on the defeated Stormwar. "And we have the winner!" The referee exclaimed firmly. He raised Aqua's hand up and declared, "And the winner is Aqua!" Everyone especially Aqua's family and friends went wild and gave the applaud to her. She is now the Champion of the Boxing Competition. Aqua was shocked and surprised before smiled proudly. She cheered wildly and happily. The referee brought and gave the golden champion belt to her. Aqua raised it up high for everyone to see. She gave a loud thunderous tiger's roar. They then went wild again. Indigo and Scootaloo held each other's hands as they bounced and jumped happily and wildly. Tigress cheered and squealed happily as she grabbed and hugged Courage, who is also cheered happily as well. Scarblade gave the applause. Brave cheered wildly and happily. Riverstrike smiled happily to see Aqua winning the battle. Rainbow smirked as she crossed her hands, "Now that's my coach. The best we ever had!" END... Review and Suggest...

Some were having their lunch at the cafeteria. Others were having fun at both lounge and hallway such as most were playing their video games and various activities, a few were listening to a loud music, some were doing pranks and others were minding their own business. Blazefist was walking down the hallway as he observed the surroundings. He can't help but feel annoyed and disappointed to see how the students behaved, acted and even didn't follow the school rules during either classes and break time. Comparing to his Crystal Prep Academy Days, the students are very serious, discipline and responsible of following the rules well. Suddenly, he then heard some noise and shouts. It came from the cafeteria. Blazefist headed off to check out of what's going on. Something bad is happening. He entered the cafeteria. Blazefist yelped in shock of what he just saw. He found not only the cafeteria is a big mess, but also the students shouting and fighting with each other by using and throwing the foods and drinks at each other. Most of them were happy, laughing and enjoying the food fight. Some were scared and cried tearfully about it. Others were hiding behind and underneath the tables, avoiding the food fight. Seeing what's been happening around here, Blazefist became furious and angered especially a basket of chili was thrown at his face. The basket dropped to the ground. The chilies were covering his face. He groaned in anger and fury like his whole body is in dark red and blazing in fire, causing the chilies boiling up. "ENOUGH!" Blazefist shouted. Blazefist did both blowing a loud whistle and firing his Firestorm Phoenix up in midair. With lazing phoenix flying and blazing up, the students yelped and screamed in fear as they stopped their food fight at once. Seeing the students stopped their food fight, he calmed down himself as his blazing Firestorm Phoenix cooled down at once. He then glared at the students. "Who start the food fight?!" Blazefist demanded in anger. The students pointed at the cornered table. He cleared his throat, getting the students' attentions. They revealed themselves as they're none other than nervous and worried Rainbow Dash, Pinkie, Trixie and Diamond Dogs Gang. He groaned, "I shouldn't have known. Six of you will be cleaning this mess! The rest of you all, clean yourself and get back to the class before I make report to your parents!" The rest of students yelped in fear and worry as they quickly exited the cafeteria at once. Rainbow, Pinkie, Trixie and Diamond Dogs Gang groaned in annoyance and disappointment. The janitor has arrived and passed the cleaning tools to them. They all began to clean the mess they have created. Blazefist sighed in annoyance while has his arms crossed, "This is so serious! Something must be done." Blazefist has requested the meeting with both principals and the rest of teacher staffs at the meeting room. He explained the latest situation including his concerns and reports about the food fight. He even shown some pictures and footages on the board for them to see. The rest of teacher staffs looked worry and uneasy about it. "This is unacceptable..." Principal Celestia said in disappointment. Vice Principal Luna nodded, "Indeed, Celestia. We don't mind letting them to have their own personal activities and devices to do, but having food fight, bullies and even ridiculous competition is something we disagreed!" Most of teacher staffs including Granny Smith, Cheerilee, Spell Nexus, Ms. Harshwinny and Cranky Doddle nodded and chatted in agreement with Blazefist's concerns. "Which is why I brought the excellent ideas I've come up with," Blazefist said firmly and calmly. He smiled, "This idea will be an effective." Principal Celestia hummed calmly, "We're listening, Blazefist." Vice Principal Luna nodded, "After all, you are our school's Discipline Teacher." "Alright. I propose that we have the prefects," Blazefist suggested firmly. The teachers looked surprise and intrigued. He continued, "From my time at Crystal Prep Academy days, we have prefects to patrol and protect the school property. They will keep an eye on the students, as well as making sure that they not only follow the rules, but not cause the problems. If they do, the prefects will send the bad students to detention until that sentence of theirs are cleared. That way, we won't have the problem again. This idea is full-proof and effective." The teachers and staffs hummed thoughtfully of Blazefist's proposal. As they were thinking, they began to like the idea, including Granny Smith, Cheerilee, Spell Nexus, Ms. Harshwinny and Cranky Doddle. They all chatted as they agreed with him. "Is everyone agree with this idea?" Principal Celestia asked. Everyone chatted and nodded in agreement. Vice Principal Luna smiled, "It appears that we have the agreement, Mr. Blazefist. We trust you that you will find worthy candidates to be prefects?" Blazefist smirked, "Leave that to me." On the next day, in his discipline office, Blazefist has gathered the 13 chosen students to be the prefects. He has passed both the new white uniforms with black jacket and tie and black pants, and discipline rule books to them. He cleared his throat as he stood before them. He looked at them firmly. "Alright, cadets! Thanks for coming here. There's a reason why I chose you 13 to this project of mine. So, listen up! What I'm about to say is gonna change your life and require your full dedication to this duty," Blazefist said firmly, "All 13 of you have proven yourselves to be the prefects. You have followed the rules, avoiding the troubles, keeping your friends and classmates in line, being honest with teachers and me, and not to mention, you have reported the mess and case to me to deal with. And best of all, you all stood for both right and help your friends. I am proud that you are the ones I have selected. Make sure that you all read and follow the prefect's guidebook and school rules as well. And who knows? I might appoint one of you to be my second-in-command. I hope that you all will not disappoint and fail me. Any more questions?" Blazefist was looking at 13 Students, who turned out to be Saber, Sunset, Applejack, Rarity, Twilight, Laxtinct, Flash, Bulk Biceps, Micro Chip, Sandalwood, Derpy Hooves, Blueberry Cake and Baton Switch. They all were surprised and shocked by the revelation. They all didn't expect to become the prefects for the school. Rarity raised her hand to ask, "Is this uniform gonna make me look fat?" Derpy smiled, "Do we get the muffins for break?" Blazefist facepalmed while sighed, "Let's start with the training first." Blazefist began his training new 13 cadets to be the prefects. He was strict and stern of making sure that all of them have not only read and studied to follow their school rule books but also discipline themselves and doing their serious job as well. He trained the newly prefects to be more strict, firm and assertive with their duty especially communicating, disciplining and enforcing the students to follow school rules, or they will be given warning about reporting to discipline teacher. He made sure that his prefects have taken action of stopping the students from tardiness or skipping classes, or even started the argument and fight. He also trained them to be more observant, self-awareness and questionable of their surroundings and students' behavior as some can be suspicious and deceiving. However, the students he has chosen and trained have proved to be difficulties. They have different approaches and weaknesses of handling the situation: - Sunset was doubting and concerns of having the authority due to being reminded by her selfish deed under Sombra's tutelage. - Twilight was uneasy about being prefect, as well as worried about her studies and researches, dating with her boyfriend and looking after her family.. - Applejack was feared and concern that she'd be neglecting with her farming duties, and also worried about using her strength. - Rarity was distracted from her duties due to concern with her outfits and trying to design them. - Laxtinct and Derpy were goofing around happily, and easily forgiving the students for breaking the rules too many times. - Flash and Baton Switch were too uneasy about being prefect, and concerns about playing for the band since it's their hobbies and club. - Micro Chip think too much of handling the situation, as well as being talkative that allowed the students to escape. - Blueberry Cake was busy talking with her friends about fashions, cosmetic and boys. - Bulk Biceps was worried about scaring and hurting students as he hated being a bully. - Sandalwood was too peaceful and relaxing from doing his duty. - Out of all thirteen students, Saber has proven himself to be an effective prefect. Thus, he was made as Head of Prefects. This has frustrated and annoyed Blazefist about the weakness he's dealing with. Nevertheless, he did his best to help the students to overcome their weaknesses and become more effective prefects. Over three weeks have passed, the students have overcome their concerns and weaknesses as they have become more confident and assertive. He was proud of it. They're ready for their challenges. And so, Blazefist has sent off all of his prefects to begin their duties. They even worn their prefect uniforms, making sure that students be alert and respectful to them and the school rules as well. The prefects split up and went to different areas during break time. Twilight and Sunset patrol the library. Saber, Applejack and Bulk patrol the cafeteria. Flash, Sandalwood and Micro Chip were looking around at the lounge and hallway. Rarity and Laxtinct checked on the classrooms. Derpy, Blueberry and Baton were keeping an eye on the gym. Whenever the students cause the problems and break the school rules, the prefects quickly went and deal with the situation at once. Whenever they did wrong for more than three times, they all will be sent for detention until their sentence has ended. They halted and ended the fight and quarrel between students at once, stopped the pranks and bullies, taking the names of students and making the reports to the teachers, making sure the students follow the rules, and also keeping an eye on everything. They also made some shifts from each other's places during their lunch. While some students were pleased of the prefects doing their jobs or even happy that they're safe, others were annoyed and frustrated with the prefects for disturbing and ruining their day, particularly Rainbow, Trixie, Pinkie and some of committee and athletes. Blazefist was once again walked through the school's hallway and classroom for checking up on his prefects' progress and latest situation. And so far, he found most of the students have behaved well and followed the rules. Now, the Canterlot High School students have the discipline and taking their studies and rules seriously. He couldn't be more proud and happy to see his proposal finally works well. After a week or three, Blazefist was summoned by both Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna. They wished to discuss and talk with him about his project and latest situation. He entered the office and taken the seat for discussion with the principals. "Thank you for coming, Mr. Blazefist," Principal Celestia said in relief and calmly, "So, what is the situation of your prefects' progress and students' discipline?" Blazefist smiled charmingly and proudly, "Works like the charm, madam. No tardiness. No disorder and chaotic at our school! No damages to our school properties. And best of all, the students got their discipline and follow the school rules carefully. It was thanks to my prefects and training lessons from Strict Stalker and Bladestrike. They're the best." Vice Principal Luna nodded in agreement as she passed the report forms to her older sister, "Yes. Mr. Blazefist does have the point. So far, there is minimum damages to the school properties or even a fight and quarrel between our students either. I must say, Mr. Blazefist's idea was indeed effective." "I agreed, Luna. Thank you for that idea, Blazefist," Principal Celestia said in relief and pleased. Blazefist saluted to her. She continued with frown and concern looks, "Though I wish your methods of training prefects and punishing students for breaking rules, be more... gentle and calm." "Yes. Students did complain about that a lot. Mostly from Trixie, Rainbow and Pinkie. They felt that they being treated as common prisoners than students." "We really appreciative of you enforcing the school rules and student's discipline. Next time, try to be gentle, and not harsh. This is Canterlot High School, not Crystal Prep Academy, Blazefist. We don't put fears to make them obey the rules. Understand?" Though annoyed by the comments, Blazefist sighed as he thought of what she has said. He nodded firmly, "Will do, madam. And you're right about my methods. Thank you for telling me this. I'll make sure that I'll go easy on them." He cleared his throat, "But I make no promises if they do break the rules more than five times. I'll have to punish them by cleaning toilets and school property as punishment." Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna sighed but agreed with his concerns of students' keep breaking the rules especially if it's Rainbow, Pinkie and Trixie. They nodded, "Understand, Mr. Blazefist. Carry on." Blazefist stood up and saluted, "Yes, ma'am!" END... Review and Suggest... Main Casts: Josh Keaton: Blazefist Nicole Oliver: Principal Celestia Tabitha St. Germain: Vice Principal Luna, Rarity, Derpy Minor Casts: Ashleigh Ball: Rainbow Dash Andrea Libman: Pinkie Pie Kathleen Barr: Trixie > S1E3: My Little Transformers > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- At Canterlot High School's underground lies a hidden secret laboratory, Tailtech alone working and inventing on his own project, involving mechanical endorskeleton-like. He added the blasters, knife, battle mask-like with scanning and informative monitor-like. He also even added the Transformium in the endorskeleton-like for transformation and battle. After that, he looked back at the monitor, which has the pictures of both Autobots and Decepticons for design reference and color scheme to fit his inventions. After looking through it, he began to draw out the designs of how his creation's looks will be like, with the help of metal crafting machine . His project has taken him for three weeks to complete it. He has completed the work. He was looking at the newly form of endorskeleton robot on the patient bed. The mechanical being is covered in black colored futuristic armor-like with yellow colored lines and green emerald on the chest with two spotlights on each sides, has armored gauntlets, squared shoulder pads and knee pads, the jetpack boosters with bluish mechanical wings-like, his hand has four fingers and his rounded head with emerald-like jewel on his forehead, has greenish eyes, battle mask to cover his mouth and his mechanical spiky ears are like elf's. Project is complete. However, the robot remains immobile and unable to move at all. Tailtech hummed calmly while looking at the robot carefully. "He looks perfect and effective. Almost look like the Transformer," Tailtech commented, "That's good. But something is missing. But what?" "Hey, Tailtech!" Pinkie greeted happily, shocking Tailtech off. She squealed happily, "Whatcha you doing?" "Working on my project," Tailtech answered. Pinkie turned and looked at Tailtech's project. She gasped, "Wow! He looks like a Transformer! Amazing! Does he have the name or something?" Tailtech sighed, "Not yet. I still can't get this thing to move. I was thinking that he should have electrical energy to power him up. That should able to help him out." "That would be cool. But don't you think that you should have a big battery or Transformer Battery to power up." Pinkie giggled happily, "Get it? Transformer needs Transformer Battery to power up! That sound funny. Coz they're both related." Tailtech groaned in annoyance, "Yeah, funny." He then heard his stomach growling, making him annoyed and Pinkie giggled happily. He sighed, "Either way, I should take break and get my lunch. I'm starving." Pinkie smiled and nodded, "No kidding." She and Tailtech turned and walked away. She asked, "How long you've been doing this project?" "Almost a month." "Are you kidding me?! Without food or drink?!" "Of course, I did have some food and drinks. Just couple of chips and crackers, and even some soda to give me some thinking." "Tailtech, you're crazy." "Not crazy as any mad scientist or Guildenstern." "Well, at least, not mad as Twilight in her 'Mad Twience Song' when she tried to create and built a Frankenstein's Monster or Robotic Dog." "Don't remind me." Tailtech gasped in realization, "Pinkie, you're genius!" "I am?" Pinkie asked in surprise. Tailtech nodded happily, "Yeah. Maybe Twilight can help me out of how to make my project come to life and movie, without using battery. Besides, they died easily." Pinkie nodded happily, "Good point!" Tailtech and Pinkie arrived at the lift entrance. They both entered the lift. It closed and lifted them both to the ground level pf high school. And at the same time, the lab turned off the whole lights and air condition, leaving the robot behind. However, hidden within the pipes, lies a mysterious bright light within the shadows. It slowly drop and descend. It headed straight to the robot. It revealed itself to be a shard. As it touched the forehead, the shard electrified and shocked the robot, causing the latter move. And at the same time, the shard slowly merged together with forehead's emerald. It then stopped from moving. Nothing is happening. Suddenly, the robot lifted its head up. Its eyes glowed in greenish color. It's like coming to life. At the cafeteria, Tailtech and Pinkie grabbed their own food and drinks. They went and find Twilight as they required her assistance and help for making his robot alive. They found her near to the window as she was helping and teaching Applejack about math calculation, which her childhood friend wasn't really good at. Both of them approached and talked with her about the project. The revelation surprised Twilight. "Wow! Really?! You created a robot?!" Twilight asked in surprise. She scoffed a bi, "And I thought that I was the only girl able to create the robot, even though it's a dog." Applejack smiled slyly, "Impressing Shadow Dragon or Timber Spruce? From what I can tell, Shadow Dragon doesn't take well with dogs. Are you trying to cheat on him?" "Applejack! Don't you know me?!" Twilight scolded Applejack for being offended, "Honestly, I am deeply offended, you know." Applejack giggled as she nudged Twilight's elbow, "Relax. I'm just kidding, partner." "So, will you help me out?" Tailtech asked hopefully. Twilight smiled, "Of course, Tailtech. I just need to grab some equipment to power your robot up and of course, the A.I. chip. Then, he will be a walking and living robot." Tailtech smiled, "Thanks, Twi. You're the best." "After that, I'm gonna throw a best birthday present for that robot," Pinkie cheered happily. She hummed thoughtfully, "Who knows? I may gonna use him for some party plans!" "Pinkie Pie! That robot is for research, not toy!" Tailtech scolded angrily and annoyingly. Tailtech led and guided his friends to the secret underground lab. Upon their arrival, the laboratory's lights turned on at once. They have found the lab was a big mess, along with the missing robot from his patient table. "What?! No!" Tailtech exclaimed in shock and concerns, "W-Who have stolen my Project: Android?! H-How did they get in my lab?!" "Maybe we should check on security footage," Twilight said calmly, "It might have the answer." Tailtech nodded in agreement as he and his friends headed to the security room. Tailtech turned the security monitors as they all watched the videos after they have left the lab. Through the footage, they've noticed and found the android has been activated and awakened by itself due to the mysterious shard has electrocuted and given him a life. They watched carefully of what he was doing. The android looked around of his surroundings as he was very curious. Thus, he decided to check and test them all, which some weapons and tools either surprised and scared him. He then came across to the Armor Guardian sections, where he spotted and faced the giants. They scared him, making him to turn and ran off, trying to escape. Fear has consumed him, the android screamed and panicked, accidentally activating and firing his blasters on his surroundings. He quickly calmed himself down as quickly as he can. He then made his escape before he put himself in grave danger. "I-I don't believe it. The android has his own freewill?!" Tailtech asked in shock and surprise, "How is it possible?!" Twilight shrugged, "I have no idea. There must be something left there. If we can find it, then we know what it does to your android." "Like this?" Pinkie asked happily as she shown the shard to her friends. "What is that?" Applejack asked. Twilight gasped, "That's the Allspark's Shard!" "An Allspark?!" Tailtech asked in surprise. He gulped, "Oh no! It must have enough energy powers to give that android the life and freewill! This is not good!" "What do you mean by that? Didn't you say that you wanted him to have his own freewill?" Applejack asked. Tailtech sighed, "Yes! But there's a bad news about him having freewill and wondering around our home. The TRF could mistaken him as the Transformer. He could get killed." "Oh. Right," Applejack said in concern. Tailtech hissed, "We have to find and get him back here before anything bad could happen to him!" "Don't worry! I've got this," Twilight smiled as she shown the Magic Tracker, "Shorty gave me this, just in case if we're dealing with magic or Transformer case." She activated it. She found the blue signal beeping and moving around at the Ponyville Town. She smiled, "I've got his location!" "Let's go and save that poor android before it's too late!" Pinkie said heroically. Tailtech and his team turned and headed to the lift. They have to find and rescue the android before he gets himself killed. Tailtech and his team traveled through Ponyville Town. They looked around and searching for the android. They even asked some people and residents if they have seen him or not. But so far, they have found nothing. Where could he have gone too? BOOM! BANG! Tailtech and his team turned and found a large smoke emerging out from the downtown. They turned and looked at each other. They nodded firmly as they quickly headed off to the location. Upon their arrival, Tailtech and his team have found the android they were looking for. He was hiding inside the Flim-Flam shop, where the brothers were hiding and taking shelter from the surprise attacks. But adding more complication, Transformers Reaction Force soldiers were there as they were firing their blasters at the shop. The android is scared and worried to fight back. They have to get in there and stop the fight. Tailtech and his team hid behind the cars. They took the peek and looked at the event as they were thinking and making the plan of saving the android. "So, what's the plan?" Pinkie asked hopefully. Tailtech hummed thoughtfully and carefully while observing the surroundings especially the android, "If possible, we could use distraction and tricks on them. We need to mislead the TRF to another location, so we can rescue him." Applejack nodded, "That's good. But how?" "Faking another Decepticon's attacking," Tailtech said slyly. Twilight, Applejack and Pinkie looked confuse and concern. He continued, "You three are gonna help me out. So, here's the plan." Tailtech explained and told his friends of how he and his team can help and save the android. They all nodded firmly. Three girls turned and headed off to another location. Tailtech remained behind to watch the battlefield while waiting to give the signal. As the battle rages on, TRF halted their attacks. They approached to the shop while armed with their blasters at it. "Come out now and surrender, Transformer! You've got nowhere to hide," TRF Lieutenant exclaimed firmly, "Let the hostages go!" Inside the shop, Flim and Flam looked at each other for the moment before turned to the worried and scared android. They both nodded firmly and slyly. They both screamed and shouted at the android, who is more confuse and worried. They used both baseball bat and golf bat in attacking and scaring the android off at once. The android got drove off and tripped to the ground hard. The TRF Soldiers have surrounded while aiming their blasters at him. He quivered and shivered in fear. "Got nowhere to run now, freak," TRF Lieutenant said firmly. Seeing the TRF Soldiers are ready to finish his android off, Tailtech shouted via loudspeaker, "HELP! HELP! Decepticons' attacking the Canterlot City! HELP!" At the Cantelot City, three girls were ready. Pinkie activated her magic powers by using and throwing the confetti and sweets to the sky. They then exploded. Twilight readied and activated the smoke bombs and fireworks. Applejack grabbed and thrown them to the sky before they all exploded. The fireworks and magical sweets have exploded in midair. Three girls smiled as they have done their parts. They quickly escaped the scene before they get caught. BOOM! The TRF Soldiers turned to the south, where they found pinkish colored explosion and firework exploding. They were in shock and worried of it. They will turn to the south and finish it off. They turned and glared at the android, but they found him missing. TRF Lieutenant groaned, "Damn it! We'll get him next time! Let's move to the Canterlot City now!" Transformers Reaction Force packed and loaded up their gears and weapons on their military trucks. They all drove off and headed to Canterlot City. Flim and Flam Brothers were shocked and confused of the android have disappeared. And just before they could do anything, something electrical and shocking have been activated as something de-cloaked and revealed Tailtech and the android. Twilight, Applejack and Pinkie have arrived and regrouped with them. "We did it! The plan worked!" Pinkie cheered happily. Twilight nodded, "Thanks to our teamwork. Pinkie's confetti and sugar explosion, my experimental smoke bombs and fireworks, and of course, Applejack's strength to throw them high have attracted the TRF's attention to Canterlot City for good!" Applejack smiled, "Yeah. They have gone to there for good, thanks to you, Tailtech." "It was nothing," Tailtech blushed a bit. He turned and looked at the android, "Hey, you okay?" The android nodded, "I am fine. Thank you for helping me. Why did you help me?" "Because you're my creation," Tailtech answered calmly, "Plus, machines and Transformers are living creatures, just like us. You don't deserve to be destroyed." "Really? Oh my..." The android said in surprise, "Thank you, I suppose." Tailtech nodded, "No problem. Let's get out of here." "Not so fast!" Flim demanded firmly. Tailtech and his friends yelped in concern. He continued, "Did you forget something else?!" Flam nodded, "Yes. You owe us a insurance for our shop! Your stupid Transformer has cost us a lot of money to rebuild it!" "What?!" Applejack asked angrily, "You can't do that to us!" "Yeah! The android didn't even start the problem!" Pinkie said firmly. Twilight nodded, "Yeah. Why did you keep the android inside?" And just before Flim and Flam could explain, the android's eyes glowed in green and revealed the holographic forms of Flim and Flam tricking and manipulating the android of stealing the money while they were distracting the customers to some boring and useless junks. This made Tailtech and three girls annoyed and angered. "I-It's a lie!" Flim exclaimed in concern. Flam nodded, "Yeah! Your robot malfunction! None of them are true!" Tailtech glared at Flim and Flam and said, "My inventions never malfunction. And besides, Saber warned me not to trust you because you two are con-artists. So, let us go or things may get messy." "What would that be?!" Flim and Flam asked in unison, "You can't prove the world that we did it." The android activated its missile launchers. It turned and aimed at Flim and Flam, who got shocked and scared. Instead of firing at them, he turned and fired at the shop. It exploded and all of its items have been destroyed. The brothers screamed in agony and shock to see their shop being destroyed. They then cried tearfully and angrily that they have lost their shop. "Good job, Metalgear," Tailtech commented. His friends turned and looked at him. He shrugged, "What? He needs a name. And it's perfect for him. Besides, I'm gonna help and teach him about our world and self-defense for himself. He'll become my perfect assistant." "Metalgear? I like it," Metalgear said happily. He bowed humbly, "I'd be glad to have you all teach and help me, as well as I help you, in-return." Tailtech nodded happily, "After all, it's what friends are for." "Friends?" Metalgear asked in surprise. He smiled, "I like it." END... Review and Suggest...

Shadow Dragon, Flash and Saber were staring and looked at Terrorcreep, who was angrily and annoyingly sitting down on his chair. Three of them were looking at his dark gloomy appearance and dressing code. "Well?" Terrorcreep asked in annoyance and anger. "We've got some serious work to do," Flash commented, earning Terrorcreep to glare at him. He yelped, "Wow! Easy there! Don't try to suck my blood. Seriously, you'd think that wearing that suit is good enough for the Canterlot's Special Dance Party?" Shadow Dragon thought of Flash's comments as he nodded in agreement, "Flash's right. You really need to change that suit." Terrorcreep groaned, "Not a chance. This suit is the magical enchantment. It was given by my mother because she knows I won't able to stand during daylight. I will not change it." "Calm down, TC. There's no reason for you to get panicked," Saber said calmly, "And besides, the Dance Party only starts during the night. So, you've got nothing to worry about." Shadow Dragon nodded, "Saber's right. Just this once. You should try another suit for her." "Yeah. Do it for her. It's only one night," Flash supported. Terrorcreep was annoyed and irritated by his friends' constant insistence. He sighed in defeat, "Fine. Just this once." Shadow Dragon gently gave a fist bump on Terrorcreep's shoulder, "Cool! Let's do this." "Trust us, you're gonna love it!" Saber said firmly. Terrorcreep groaned, "I'm gonna regret this..." Shadow Dragon handled with Terrorcreep's hair, making his as best and cool as gentleman's handsome hair. Flash looked through the suits as he helped and choose which one to fit for Terrorcreep. Saber trained and taught him about dancing and gentleman's manners. This has annoyed and irritated him a lot to do such things. At the Carousal Boutique's dressing chamber, Fluttershy has asked Rarity to help her with creating and designing the best dress for the shy girl to wear. Twilight and Sunset were there to help the designer as well. It took them whole day to get the perfect yet beautiful dress done for tonight. They have succeeded it. Rarity passed and gave the dress for Fluttershy to try and wear from the dressing room. Rarity, Twilight and Sunset waited outside as they hoped that Fluttershy liked the dress. After minutes of getting dress, Fluttershy emerged from the dressing room. She revealed herself for wearing a golden ball gown with a simply designed bodice with wrapped off-the-shoulder sleeves, long yellow opera gloves, and her skirt has three long layers with couple of classic silver rose and singing bird patterns on it, and yellow high-heeled shoes. Rarity, Twilight and Sunset awed in amazement and surprise of what they just saw. Rarity has outdone it once again. "Incredible!" Twilight commented. Sunset nodded, "That would knock Terrorcreep off. He's gonna be shock to look at it." "So, Fluttershy? What do you think?" Rarity asked. Fluttershy looked at her ball gown as she couldn't help but admire it, "It's beautiful, Rarity! I like it. Thank you so much." Rarity awed happily, "You're welcome. And thank you for asking me to help you." "Well, we'd better get ready for tonight. It's our big night," Twilight commented. Sunset nodded in agreement, "You know this felt Deja Vu again except this time, no more Sombra and She-Demon ruined the date." Rarity sighed in annoyance, "Tell me about it. I rather not remember that event again. Hopefully, it doesn't ruin our dance party again." "Agreed," Fluttershy nodded, "But forget about it. Let's make the best night for our boys!" Twilight, Sunset and Rarity nodded and cheered, "Yeah!" In the evening, Rarity asked her parents' permission for providing them the limo, driving and traveling to Canterlot High School for dancing party. Upon their arrivals, four girls emerged from the limo. Twilight worn her blue midnight-themed ball gown with sparkling stars. Sunset worn her Everfree ball gown and Rarity worn her pure pinkish royal theme ball gown. The girls looked up and found both Saber and his three friends stood before them. They all have worn their black suits and white uniforms. Twilight and Sunset giggled and commented of how handsome Shadow Dragon and Flash are. The boys smiled proudly and happily to them. Terrorcreep has a combed hair down while worn a dark navy suit with yellow lines, black vest, white uniform, dark blue pants and black shoes. He stood before Fluttershy as he smiled at her. The shy teenager was amazed and awed by his gentleman's appearance as she blushed in red for the moment. She then smiled at him, making him smiled back at her. Three gentlemen bowed before the ladies, who returned by bowing down a bit before their boyfriends. The boys raised and bend their right elbows before the girls. The latter held the former's as they all marched into the ball gown. They all marched into their high school. Saber and Rarity looked at each other as they smiled happily to see them enjoyed the night. They followed them for joining the party. Fluttershy, Terrorcreep and their friends entered the gym, where the Canterlot's Special Dance Party held. It has some decorated and sophisticated yet fun and happy themed party for everyone to enjoy. Most boys worn black or colorful suits, and same goes to the girls, who worn the beautiful and colorful dresses. They then met up with the rest of their friends for chatting about the recent events and missions, and even having their dinner. They all enjoyed the night well. Fluttershy: Tale as old as time True as it can be Strangers we maybe Yet common we've shared Unexpectedly At the DJ Jockey Booth, both DJ-Pon3 and Octavia Melody shifted their hip-hope music into more calmer, gentle and passionate musical, attracting everyone including Mane Seven and Dragon Strike Force to get up and join the dance. They all quickly got up and join the dance including both Terrorcreep and Fluttershy. Terrorcreep: Just be a little brave Small, to say the least Both a little shy Neither one prepared Both Terrorcreep and Fluttershy were a bit shy and worried about their dance. Nevertheless, Shadow Dragon and Twilight helped and give them a push to star their dance. While still nervous and uncertain, they nevertheless give it a try. They both smiled at each other as they both began to hold each other's hands and performing ballroom dance. Terrorcreep and Fluttershy continued dancing passionately and happily while looking at each other. They recalled of their first meeting till today. Terrorcreep and Fluttershy: Angel and her Demon Flashback: Few years ago before present... After their parents have died in accidents, young child Fluttershy and her little brother Zephyr Breeze were alone at the alley. They worn dirty and torn clothes. They both struggled to get some help, money and food they could find to survive. They have no relatives or anyone else they know of have come to claim them. They were alone now. While Fluttershy and Zephyr were still asleep inside the box, they suddenly heard a loud ruckus and noise from outside. They came from it and exited the alley, where they have found a young Terrorcreep bumped on them to the ground hard. While they were confuse and uncertain, he shushed at them before dragged and moved them to dark cornered area. And at the same time, some angry gang was running and passing the small alley by. Young Terrorcreep sighed in relief that he is safe. As he was about to leave, the sun blinded his eyes, making him to back off. Luckily, young Fluttershy and Zephyr helped and taken him to their 'home', where they used dirty cloth with water to tended his eyes gently. To his surprise and confuse, young Terrorcreep wonder of why they helped him despite he's a mutant. Nevertheless, young Fluttershy simply smile at him and treated him gently and warmly. Zephyr even make some jokes, hoping to make him laugh, though it annoy him. Suddenly, young Fluttershy and Zephyr have their stomachs growled, making them both blushed in embarrassed. Young Terrorcreep couldn't help but smile a bit, and gave them two loaf of breads. They were shocked yet relieved and happy that the vampire mutant is willing to share his food with them. Three of them shared and ate the bread together happily. Terrorcreep and Fluttershy: Ever just the same Ever a surprise Ever as before Ever just as sure As the moon will rise Terrorcreep, Fluttershy and Zephyr stayed close together and helped each other a lot as friends and family. They struggled together to stay alive and overcome their struggles. While Fluttershy gave her innocent pouty eyes and pleaded for either food and money or even shyly to sing and dance on the stage, Zephyr tried to sneak and pickpocket the money from random people. When things went wrong, Terrorcreep came to their aids as he fought and fended off before they make their escape. While Fluttershy and Zephyr weren't happy with thieving and stealing, they both knew that is the only way to survive. With Terrorcreep standing beside with them, they will be safe from harm. Then, one day, the trio came across to both pre-teen Scar Brilliance and Arthur Warfate. Fluttershy pleaded both for food and money, which they brushed it off. Zephyr tried to pickpocket on two boys, but got caught and grabbed by Scar. He was about to punish them both until Terrorcreep jumped and attacked them ferociously and quickly. Before they could escape, the trio got surrounded by a group of Sovereign Lion Black Ops troops. They got cornered and trapped by them. Both Scar and Arthur approached to them. Terrorcreep was ready to fight them off. Instead of demanding the arrest on them, Scar raised his hand before them as if he was offering them a job, which shock and surprise them.

Though Terrorcreep got his job for Sovereign Lion Black Ops, both of his friends also need to earn their jobs and money than relying heavily on him to do it. Fluttershy volunteered for taking care and protecting the animals. Zephyr did his best of scrubbing and wiping clean and dry on men's shoes. They worked very hard to earn the bits. And during weekends and vacations, three of them spent some quality time together for either playing games, watching movies, training in exercise, studying together, camping on the forest and having a night walk.

He was still wearing his black sleeping T-Shirt and crimson shorts. His bedroom was filled with typical teenager boys' stuffs and hobbies such as laptop with Wacom Tablet and photo frame from Camp Everfree on the writing table with fixed drawers that are filled with arts materials and tools; several shelves are filled with American Superheroes and Japanese Masked Heroes toys, props and gadgets; the walls are filled with some movie posters - Kuuga the Warrior, Power Ponies, Transformers, The Spirit of Sanada and Superhero League of Justice; three bookshelves for history books, comic book, manga, photo albums, PS3 and the video games discs, and also animation DVDs; wardrobe for his casual clothes, military uniforms and superhero movies, and a large statue of Kuuga. Shadow Dragon snored loudly yet peacefully as he was still sleeping peacefully and quietly until the sun rises and shines on him through the window. He groaned in annoyance as he rubbed his eyes hard. He got up and glared at the sun shining. He groaned in annoyance as he returned to his sleep while covering on his body. Shadow Dragon: Wake up in the mornin' And I pull the covers over my head Hey-oh (Week is starting, week is starting) 15 minutes later, the digital alarm clock went off, making him annoyed to hit the snooze button. He groaned as he got up for the moment. He stretched himself for the moment before went back on his bed. Shadow Dragon: I gotta get it movin' But I'd rather stay here instead Hey, hey (School is calling, school is calling) At the Sparkle Resident, Twilight was sleeping peacefully and happily in her own bedroom. Her digital alarm clock went off, she hit the 'off' button. She yawned a bit before she got up and stretched herself. She then packed up pillow and blanket nicely and properly on the bed. She smiled happily before headed off to her bathroom. As Twilight approached to the bathroom's sink, she brushed her teeth, washed her face and even washed, rinsed and dried up her long hair. Twilight: My hair's a disaster, don't know what to do Shadow Dragon continued sleeping and snoring on his bed peacefully while ignoring the digital alarm clock. Suddenly, someone grabbed and held him up by his sleeping T-Shirt's collar. And at the same time, he got whacked on his forehead. He yelped in pain. He looked up and found Tao was glaring at him while Mighty was holding him up. Tao pointed at the alarm clock, which is now 8.15am. It shocked Shadow Dragon. He quickly has his arms and head inside the shirt. He dropped to the ground. He headed off to his bathroom for showering, gelling his hair and getting dress. Twilight: But I need to move faster to make it through Twilight has done grooming her hair and getting dressed up. She packed up her books and stuffs in her bagpack. She headed towards the door. She's ready for going out to school. Twilight: This crazy morning has got me confused Shadow Dragon got himself dressed and packed up with his books and stuffs in his black bag, Black Samurai Morpher on his right wrist, and has his hair gelled into his usual spikier. He climbed down the stairs at once. Mighty thrown the bag of Meat Buns at him. He said goodbye to his father and the assistant before exiting the shop. Twilight: (Clock is racing, time is wasting 9:00 to 6:00, brain is phasing) As soon as Shadow Dragon and Twilight exited their home, the storm appeared and rained its water dropping on them. They're both annoyed and disappointed as they hated having bad day on Monday. Nevertheless, they have to get to the school, and they can't afford to be late. Twilight took out and used her umbrella to travel under the rain. She was heading off to the bus stop station. Shadow Dragon got into the garage, where he kept his motorcycle in. He got both his helmet and jacket on. He got on his motorcycle as he ride off at once. Shadow Dragon and Twilight: Everywhere that I go Everything that I do I can't shake these Monday blues 'Cause some days, I can't find the way As Twilight was walking across the street, the school bus suddenly rushed and passed her, and at the same time, it splashed the puddle on her. Twilight got herself and her dress wet and soaked. Shadow Dragon and Twilight: Out of this haze, hope I'll be okay While she was recovering from getting splashed and wet, Twilight found the school bus closed its door at once. It's heading off. She tried to catch up with it, but the school bus is far away from her location. As if it didn't get worst, the storm unleashed a powerful wind blow at her. Twilight is unable to get a hold on her umbrella, forcing it blown and floated away to the sky. Twilight: Just can't seem to get it right A cloud is hanging over me Hey (Rain is falling, rain is falling) Luckily for her, Twilight got the backup umbrella to use. Knowing that school bus has left and gonna be late for school, she got no time to lose as she headed off at once. Twilight: I wish it was the weekend 'Cause you know that's where I'd rather be Hey, hey (Friday's calling, Friday's calling) Shadow Dragon was riding his motorcycle as fast as he can. He's late for the school He can't afford to be late. He quickly stopped at once before the traffic jam. He found TRF Soldiers were checking on vehicles, making sure they're not the Transformers. He was annoyed and irritated about security checkup. And not to mention, he found his cellphone's clock, which shown 8.30am now. He realized that he doesn't have much time. He has to get to the school. Shadow Dragon grunted as he turned to his right and found empty alley. He turned his motorcycle and rode it off at once. Unfortunately, that attract wrong attention from TRF Soldiers, whom suspecting he was carrying the Transformer as his transport. They all went after him at once. Shadow Dragon: I wonder what things won't go my way Or if I'll ever make it through the day I hope this feeling won't lead me astray (You'll get through it, you can do it With your pals, there's nothing to it) Shadow Dragon and Twilight must overcome the obstacles and do whatever they can to reach to the school before it started. Shadow Dragon was still riding his motorcycle through the alley, but found at the end, it was blocked and guarded by the TRF Soldiers. They armed and aimed their blasters ta him. He yelped as he turned and rode off to left side, which led him to the market street. Thankfully for him, it's not very crowded. He did his best to outrun and evaded the TRF Soldiers and police officers from chasing after him, blockading his way, and shot him down as well. After minutes have passed of chasing routine, he managed to escape them thanks to his geode's power that allowed him to increase his spiritual speed. He sighed in relief as he can get to school in time. Twilight ran through some problems as her boyfriend has. She got the construction site blocking her way, making her to take another way. She tried to use the shortcut to the alley, where she was chased after by couple of stray dogs. And then, she has to passed through some people. She came across to the box, where she patted the orange kitty's head before headed off.

Twilight: Just when I feel like it might come crashing down Shadow Dragon: I can count on my friends to help me turn my mood around! Both Twilight and Shadow Dragon looked up and found each other standing on the statue's side. They both smiled happily to see each other arrived at the destination. Parking at the park zone, Shadow Dragon climbed down from his motorcycle. He approached to Twilight as he gave her his gentleman's 'allow me' gesture. She nodded as she held his hand while holding the umbrella over both of them. They then marched into the school now. Shadow Dragon and Twilight: (With my pals, there's nothing to it!) Both Shadow Dragon Twilight chatted and joked about how crazy Monday is. They looked up and found Sunset and Flash were arguing and shouting at each other about how late they were due to the former's driving problem and her boyfriend's instruction of taking shortcut, which mislead them to wrong direction. Shadow Dragon and Twilight laughed a bit as they approached and calmed down their couples by saying that they shouldn't let the bad day happens to them because they got here and each other as well. While annoyed about each other's mess, both Sunset and Flash smiled and agreed that they let bygone be bygone before headed off to their class. Shadow Dragon and Twilight: Everywhere that I go With everything that I do I'll say goodbye to the Monday blues 'Cause I've got my friends with me And the sunshine is all I see However, both couples weren't alone as their friends were too late for school as well. They too have bad days as well. Rarity had bad hair day and her make up was a mess. Shorty looked very sleepy and tired due to him sleeping late for working and upgrading on Armor Guardians.

Twilight, Sunset and Applejack were discussing and chatting about history. Rainbow was sleeping and snoring after the detention. Fluttershy was talking with the birds about fixing their homes. Pinkie was busy planning with parties. Rarity was trying to design the best fashions for her friends. Shadow Dragon, Flare Tiger and Flash were discussing about the history. Suddenly, the door was opened as someone has marched into the classroom. They all turned and looked at the front. And to their surprise, Bullhound entered it while looking around of his surroundings like he suspected that there's trouble or problem around here. After the inspection, he sighed calmly. He turned to the students. He smiled and waved to them while smiled happily. "Hi!" Bullhound greeted happily. "Bullhound?" Twilight asked in surprise, "What are you doing here?" "Bullhound," A firm yet calm voice called as the familiar man, who has worn dark purplish-blue mixed colored shirt with long sleeves, dark vest, black jean, black shoes and a long black coat. He still has his spiky and curved hair. He looked at Bullhound, "I told you and Schemetrick that is unnecessary for security check." Bullhound hissed in concern as he bowed before him, "Forgive me, Mr. Secretary. I was just doing my security job since Rhino Armor is looking after Master Strikespell." "I know. But please, this is school, not military base. Wait for me at the limo with Schemetrick, and don't try to do anything stupid," Azure Phoenix said firmly and calmly. Bullhound nodded a bit as he was about to leave. He spoke again, "And also, Bullhound. I am no longer Mr. Secretary anymore. I relinquish that title to my son already. I am now retired as civilian." Bullhound sighed, "Yes, sir." Bullhound turned and left the classroom at once, leaving his master behind. Mane Seven and their friends whispered and have private discussion. "I didn't know Azure Phoenix is gonna be here," Rarity said in concern. Sunset shrugged, "Me neither. We have to be ready for anything Azure Phoenix's gonna throw at us. I have the bad feeling that he's not gonna go easy on us." "Yeah. I have felt that pain before. It wasn't great," Applejack said in concern, recalling of her messing with him. She turned to Twilight, "You were his prized pupil. Surely, you must know something." Twilight sighed, "It's not gonna be easy. He likes talented people and he hated liars and lazy people for not performing his duty. If we follow him and his instruction, everything will be fine. If not sure of the question or history, he will find a way to solve the problem. But you slack off too much, he will punish you hard." "You must have been through it a lot," Fluttershy said in concern. "True. But he never mistreat and abuse me so much," Twilight said calmly and happily, "In fact, he has helped me a lot when I was a little girl. He was the best mentor I ever had." "She's right," Shadow Dragon agreed, "After all, he and his family are known to be talented and skilled military commanders and administrators. They are direct descendants of the most powerful historical figure Cao Cao." Flash sighed, "I can't imagine of someone else to picture that." Azure Phoenix turned and faced to the the students at classroom. He cleared his throat as he can begin his teaching to students now. "Good morning, class. I apologize my bodyguard's overprotective nature for protecting me. Either way, I came here as your substitute history teacher. Mr. Spell Nexus is having a heart problem now. He will be recovered next month." Azure Phoenix said calmly and firmly. He took his seat while facing to them, "Next three weeks, we'll be having some tests. I hope you're prepared and have knowledge of history. There can be no failures. Now, let us begin with Chinese History." Some students nodded firmly as they prepared their pens, textbooks and papers for the lessons. Other students including Rainbow, Pinkie and Flash groaned in annoyance and frustration about it. Azure Phoenix noticed their attitude. "Rainbow Dash. Pinkie Pie. Micro Chip. Flash Sentry. Trixie. Lyra Heartstrings. Bon-Bon. Blueberry Cake. Bulk Bicep. Derpy. Brawly Beats. Curly Winds. Heath Burns. Thunderlane. Do you have something against me?" Azure Phoenix asked dryly, making the chosen students worried and scared. He turned and glared at them, "I'm waiting, you two. What do you have against me?" "No, sir! Nothing!" The students exclaimed in fear and worry. Azure Phoenix slammed his fists on the table and demanded, "Don't lie to me! I want answers now, not lies!" Everyone dare not say anything. He again slammed his fist on table, "SPEAK UP!" Trixie yelped in fear and exclaimed, "Because history is boring and pointless! Why must the Great and Powerful Trixie must learn this subject?! They're just stupid books!" Everyone including Twilight looked worry and uneasy about Trixie's answer about why she hated history. Azure Phoenix remained calm and firm while thinking of her answer. He then laughed amusingly and happily, shocking and scaring off the students. "Okay. Now I'm freaking out," Rainbow said in concern. Pinkie nodded in concern, "Me too. I don't think I like his laughter." "Whatever it is, it's not a good sign," Sunset said in concern. Twilight gulped, "Hopefully, he's not gonna punish us harshly for that reason." Azure Phoenix slowly calmed himself down from laughing. He then cleared his throat, "An intriguing answer you have, Trixie." Everyone was in shock and surprise. He cleared his throat, "I believed that all of you share same answers as hers? Pointless reading? Boring? No animation? No movie? Don't care about the past? No comic books to read? What does it have to do with my future and my life?" Everyone chatted in agreement and concern of what Azure Phoenix has thought about them. He smiled and laughed for a while. "As I expected... Though you have your own personal opinions and criticism about history, all of you are still wrong." Azure Phoenix said calmly and firmly. The students were confuse and uncertain about his answer. He continued, "There's a great reason why history exists and important to the world. Give me the correct reason." Twilight gasped as she raised her hand up. Azure Phoenix sighed in annoyance, "Except Twilight Sparkle. No cheating or requesting help." Twilight looked annoyed and disappointed that her former mentor did not chose her to answer. Shadow Dragon, Applejack and Sunset snickered at her disappointment, making her glared at them. They then whistled innocently. "Well?" Azure Phoenix asked firmly. Everyone remained quiet while looking worry. He sighed, "Such a disappointment. I'll answer for you then. 'Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it'. I'm sure you have heard of it from movies and TV Series." Students nodded firmly happily. Azure Phoenix continued, "But do you know who invented that quote in the first place?" They shook their heads as they do not know. "Jorge Agustín Nicolás Ruiz de Santayana y Borrás from España," Azure Phoenix answered calmly, confusing yet intriguing the students. He continued, "But here, our home, he is called George Santayana - the Spanish Scholar who studied and specialized the philosophy, poem, essay and novels. A man, who create that legendary quote for the world to learn, understand and remember his legacy for generations. Its meaning is to teach us not to repeat or create the same mistake or legacy as our predecessor has once did. We learn and improvised it. We make our own path." Students looked surprised and amazed by Azure Phoenix's answers. The former Secretary smiled secretly and amusingly that he has peaked their interests. Azure Phoenix feigned sigh of disappointment, "But since none of you are interested of history, I supposed the meaning is pointless and best forgotten." "Wait!" Fluttershy called. Azure Phoenix turned and looked at her. She asked, "I... I like history. And I'm curious and confuse too." Azure Phoenix smiled, "Say what is in your mind?" "If we were supposed not to learn and not to repeat what history has it, does it affects everything else other than war and history?" Fluttershy asked, "Because some media franchise like my favorite shows - "The Littlest Pet Shop'. The original fans liked the original show but hated the new one. Not me. I like it. It's like they don't want to change." Everyone chatted and nodded in agreement with Fluttershy's statement. "Excellent question, Fluttershy," Azure Phoenix said calmly, "In fact, Fluttershy, that is the best example and answer I ever heard." "Really?" Everyone asked in surprise. Azure Phoenix nodded, "Most of you have watched the original media franchise. You liked them so much. But when someone decide to recreate that franchise, they create new direction for the media franchise while following its original source. Some of you like this concept while others don't. And do you know why?" "Because they hate changes?" Sunset answered curiously and worriedly, recalling her first experience of coming to the Human Realm. "Correct, Sunset," Azure Phoenix agreed, "People hate changes. They don't want the original to be recreated into new one. But why do they hate the new changes?" "Because they're used to it like it's their belongings or home?" Applejack asked. "Is it because they're not ready to move on from the original?" Rarity suggest. "Because the fans find the new ones to be insulting and ignoring the importance of the original?" Rainbow wondered. Pinkie gasped, "Is it because people think something terrible is coming, so they decided to stay and coop inside the house, and never ever come out again?! Just like Hunchback of Notre Dame or Wizard of Oz! Or maybe, they could start World War III?!" Everyone looked at her in shock and confusion. She looked confuse, "What? I was answering his question." Azure Phoenix smiled, "Correct again. People hate changes because they are not ready to move on, make the same tricks again, following the legacy and create their own path. It was because of that mistake, people are doomed to repeat it. And the most infamous incident and tragedy ever happen to us is September 11 Attacks." The students chatted and muttered in concern and upset from hearing that incident. He nodded, "Yes. Our country's greatest mistake is that we let our guard down and thought there was no reason for anyone to attack our country. We were wrong, and so we learn from our mistake and make amends it. What is the greatest result from learning that experience?" "Boston Marathon Bombing?" Flash asked. Azure Phoenix looked at him firmly. He continued, "Because the terrorists tried to bomb again at our home, thinking that they can win again. But instead of making us giving up, we stand up and strike back. We find and hunted down the terrorists, and bring them to justice. And so far, it was only a family that involved of the mess." "Well thought, Flash Sentry. That is correct!" Azure Phoenix confirmed. The students chatted happily and amusingly. None of them didn't expect the history could be so interesting and amazing to talk about. "Learn from the news?" Shadow Dragon asked. Flash scoffed, "One. But my dad told m the story. He was the cop. He was involved of investigation and hunting down the terrorist. He partnered with Tommy Saunders." "The terrorists were arrogant and ignorant to think that they could repeat the same tactic in making our country suffered and gave in to our greatest defeat," Azure Phoenix said firmly, "They were wrong. We learnt from our mistakes. We remained vigilant and strong, and more important, we fight back. That kind of determination led us to our greatest victory. It maybe small, but it's memorable moment because we have never repeat the history again. That is the greatest result." Everyone awed in amazement and surprise about the history lessons Azure Phoenix has provided. The former Secretary smiled proudly as he has reached their interests in history. "Do you see it? Now do you know why history is very important to us?" Azure Phoenix asked calmly, "No matter how small or big event and career you have, you must learn from your predecessor's mistakes and legacy, so you either create or remake that to carry on and transform the legacy into legend. The world will not forget of what you have achieved. The Present learns its Past to become the Future." The students chatted and gave the round of applause about Azure Phoenix's history speech. Twilight smiled happily as she has always admire her former mentor's speech and lessons. She truly happy to have someone like him. "He really knows how to make the flare," Flare Tiger commented. Shadow Dragon smirked while crossed his arms, "Of course, he knows. He's one of best commanding officers among the military. He is the descendant of Cao Cao." "Are you ready for the history lessons?" Azure Phoenix asked firmly and calmly. Everyone nodded as they even Rainbow prepared their textbooks and stationary tools. He smiled proudly, "Let us start with the Three Kingdoms of China. We will focus on both historical and its fictional parts. This will be part of the exams. Be prepare and pay attention. Do you understand?" "Sir, yes, sir!" The students exclaimed firmly. Azure Phoenix smirked, "Good. Let us begin with the difference between historical and fictional." Azure Phoenix wrote down the board as he began to teach and explain to the students about the history lessons. They all followed his examples, and even questioned him about the history. He happily comply and answered to it. For almost three weeks, Azure Phoenix did his best to teach and help the students to understand the history from Western Civilization to Eastern Civilization including his ancestor's civilization in Three Kingdoms of China Era. He is determined to make sure the students do not fail their test. Whenever he found some lazy and slacking students, he shouted and slammed his fists on the table, to get them up and focused on their studies. More than three times of making mistakes, he will punish them by having detention or cleaning the toilets as their punishment. Whenever students are struggling to understand and study some part of history, he came and assisted them one-by-one through different styles and tricks to help them to deal with it. When it comes to the intelligent and hardworking students, he was proud and happy about it as he wouldn't bother to help and test them especially if one of them is Twilight. Once they finish their studies, Azure Phoenix tested them and their knowledge by asking different questions. If one or two students failed to get right answer, he will punish them by having detention or cleaning the faculty. But if they have succeeded and get correct answer, he rewarded them for having early break and lunch. While it has proven difficult and challenging for Canterlot High School students; they nevertheless did their best to learn, study and understand the history before answer it. Watching his students have disciplined themselves and studied very hard, Azure Phoenix is proud of their efforts. After three weeks have passed, the exams have arrived. Canterlot High School students are ready for them especially the history test... Two weeks later... Spell Nexus has recovered from his heart problem, and returned to the school as the history teacher. Azure Phoenix, Schemetrick and Bullhound were invited to the school for witnessing the results of students' history test. Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna were there as well. They're now inside the classroom, where the students including Mane Seven, Shadow Dragon, Flash and Flare Tiger were. As Spell Nexus passed the resulted test papers to the students, all of them especially Rainbow, Pinkie and Flash have shown nervous and worried about the tests. They weren't sure of what to expect or hope for. Nevertheless, they opened and looked at the papers. All of them gasped in shock and surprise of what they just saw. Though not most of students get 'A+', they still passed the history tests from 'Grade A - C' only. Azure Phoenix smiled proudly and firmly, "Congratulation, Students of Canterlot High School! You have passed your history test! You have learned your history and avoided the consequence of failures. Well done! And therefore, for your reward, I invite your classmates to join my Crystal Prep Academy for the trip of my old home - China. They're opening newly and improved version pf 'Three Kingdom of China Museum'." Canterlot High School students gasped and cheered, "Thank you, sir!" The students cheered and chatted with each other about passing their history test, and now they have their own reward for trip to China. "Well done and thank you so much, Azure," Principal Celestia said in relief. Spell Nexus nodded, "Indeed. I don't know how you did it, but you got them passed their exams. Not a single one failed." "No need to thank me. I'm honored that your students did not fail," Azure Phoenix said calmly. Schemetrick smiled, "Azure Phoenix knows the best. After all, he was Twilight's former mentor. He always know where to hit the right button." "Yeah," Bullhound cheered, "Master Phoenix is always the best!" "Not truly the best," Azure Phoenix said calmly. He smiled proudly, "I'm just doing my job. Nothing more. Nothing less." END... Review and Suggest...

The entire neighborhood could hear that scream from Virtue Dragon's Barn. The scream even woke the entire family up as well, including his uncles and cousins from farming works. Applejack, Pinkie, Rarity and Shorty have arrived at the barn. They all looked worry and uncertain about one of their friends. "What the hay was that?" Pinkie asked in confusion. Applejack, "I have no idea. We'd better check this out now." "Certainly hope nothing bad has happen," Rarity said in concern. Shorty sighed, "I'm pretty sure it's not that big deal." "IT'S A BIG DEAL!" Saber screamed in fear and shock. Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie and even Shorty were in shock and worry. Saber ran around while looking through his files, detective tools and books, and he even picked and threw them aside to find something he was looking for. "Okay, that is something..." Shorty commented. Applejack spoke, "Saber, what are you looking for?" Saber screamed in fear, "ACE, Where are you?!" "You mean that hairless rodent?" Rarity asked in disgust. "A naked mole rat with highly artificial intelligent, genius!" Saber snapped in anger. He then whined and screamed in despair while continued his search, "ACE! ACE! ACE! Damn it, buddy! Where are you?! Speak to me!" "Aw, Candy Corns!" Pinkie snapped in concern, "If it were my Gummy, I would have been sad! Just like in the Movie Theater when I watched the movie." "You should be thankful that five little CMCs were there to help you out," Shorty commented. Pinkie nodded happily, "Yeah. I forgot about them." "But Pinkie did have the point," Rarity said in agreement, "Any pets of ours gone missing would make us sad forever!" "Yeah," Applejack agreed as she approached and patted Saber, "We'll help you out, Saber. We'll get him back. You can count on that." "Really?" Saber asked happily. Applejack nodded, "Of course. I mean, We're Apples to the Core." "Yeah, you're right. Let's find and rescue Ace now!" Saber said firmly. Applejack, Rarity and Pinkie cheered happily and wildly. Shorty cleared his throat, "Do you remember where's the last time you were with Ace?" Saber hummed in deep thoughts, "Let me think..." His friends waited patiently as he was still thinking and wondering when was the last time he was with Ace. He gasped, "I think I know where he was!" A whole morning, Saber and his team headed off to Canterlot City to begin their search for Ace. Remembering the very places that he and his naked mold rat hangout the most, they went to Animal Shelter, Sweet Snacks Cafe, Ponyville Park, The Beach and Dragoon Police Headquarter. They also questioned some people if they see and heard of Ace and what happen to him, and they also investigate and find some clues that could helped him find the naked mole rat. However, their investigation and search for Ace has gone for naught. No one knows what happen to the naked mole rat. It has upset and disappointed Saber. Knowing that they can't go on with empty stomach, they decide to take a break. They went to the most famous Mexican Restaurant - 'Stoppable's Nacho-Tacos', locating near to the Spa. While his friends were eating their lunch, Saber hasn't touch his own nachos with cheese sauce or even taco. They all noticed him not eating his own lunch. "Darling, your food is getting cold," Rarity said in concern, "You should eat them while it's warm." Saber sighed, "Not hungry, guys." "He's still upset and miss Ace," Pinkie said obviously. "You think?" Shorty asked in annoyance. He cleared his throat, "Saber, we will find and rescue your friend. You have our word." "Yeah. We won't let anything bad happen to him." Applejack said calmly as she touched and held Saber's hand, "You know that." "Besides, you can't go find and rescue him when you have an empty stomach," Pinkie joked while making some funny faces. Saber laughed a bit, "Yeah. I guess so. You're right about that." As he and his friends continued eating their lunch, Saber noticed a familiar character wearing the golden shades as he has arrived and entered the alley. The detective raised his eyebrow, suspecting that the suspect has something to do with Ace gone missing. Shades has arrived to the end, where the rest of his friends were with the black van. Shades helped Clumsy and DJ Red brought and put the last couple cages of cute and innocent animals into the van. Both Black Tiger and Tech were contacting with Swipestrike, who looked calm and firm. "We've caught the last cages of animals," Black Tiger reported, "We'll meet you all at the rendezvous points, sir." "Nice, boys. You'd better make sure that no one follows you," Swipestrike said firmly, "I hated to see that our project get mess up again. You know I hate it." Black Tiger scoffed, "Do not worry, master. We will not fail." Tech nodded, "Yeah! All thanks to my brilliant idea." Black Tiger muttered 'Mighty Lion pounced his Prey to Silence' punched Tech to the walls. Swipestrike groaned in annoyance, "Just get the cargo to the rendezvous point." "Yes, sir!" Black Tiger saluted. "Thanks to my brilliant idea?" DJ Red annoyingly asked Tech, "Really?" Clumsy nodded, "Yeah. We did the most of job!" "You barely do anything," Shades commented. "Hey! Genius's in the house, you know?!" Tech asked in annoyance. "Just shut up and get the job done before we're gonna have some meddling kids," Black Tiger snapped in annoyance. "Like now?!" Saber's voice demanded. Black Tiger and his team looked up and found the detective and his team stood before them. He narrowed his angry eyes, "Where is my naked mole rat?!" Black Tiger snarled, "Why do you think we have that rodent?" "I don't know, but you pissed me off for kidnapping him!" Saber snapped in anger, "Get ready to get your ass kicked!" "So be it," Black Tiger said angrily, "Bull's Face turned into Red! Rhino charged and chased off his predators! Black Tiger gave a battle cry!" Black Tiger roared wildly as he charged and rammed at Saber to outside. Both of them began to fight with each other wildly and determinedly. DJ Red, Clumsy and Shades activated the electrical stunned titanium swords-like pole. Tech summoned and commanded his soldiers to attack them as well. DJ Red gave some groovy dance while showing off his swordsmanship skills to Rarity, who is confuse and uncertain, though she was annoyed about it. And just before he could do anything, she summoned and slammed her Diamond Force-Field in knocking him out. Clumsy screamed wildly as he launched some punches at Applejack, who easily blocked and defected the attacks. This has caused the thug to screamed in pain after the punch. She then gave a powerful punch on his head, making Clumsy dizzy and fell on the puddle hard. Shades screamed as he tried to take down Pinkie, who playfully poked and played a tag with him. This has caused him exhausted and tired for few rounds. Tech laughed evilly as he and his army of Techbots surrounded Shorty while arming and aiming their blasters at him. And just before they could do anything, Shorty activated a small grenade, causing a powerful EMP's Shock-Wave on them. All of Techbots got shutdown. And just before Tech could escaped. Shorty gave a hard punch on him to get knock out. Saber and Black Tiger continued fighting with each other for few rounds. Saber is unable to fend off his enemy due to him was quick and fierce as well as his annoying battle cry. This caused him the idea. "Striking Elephant's Fist!" Black Tiger exclaimed as he was about to slam his punch at Saber. "The Dragon said-" Saber said calmly while waiting the moment to strike. As Black Tiger was closed to launch the punch on him, the detective purposely tripped him and slammed on the walls hard. The martial art warrior was recovering. Saber slammed a powerful punch on his face to get knocked out. He smirked, "Booyah!" After defeating Black Tiger and his team, Saber checked and looked through some cages as he searched and find Ace but found nothing. And at the same time, Shorty alerted the police force to come and arrest the criminals, as well as delivering the animals to shelter and the owners. "Still no sign of him," Saber said in disappointment. Applejack patted Saber's back, "Don't worry, Saber. I'm sure he must be somewhere nearby." "On the bright side, we saved the animals," Pinkie said cheerfully. Rarity nodded, "Indeed, darling. I'm sure Ace would be proud of it." Saber hummed thoughtfully, "I guess so. Wherever he is, we'll find him." "Uh, guys..." Shorty called. Everyone looked at him. He looked shock and worry as he shown his phone's message, "I think where he is." After hearing the news of what happen to Ace, Saber and his team immediately returned to Virtue Dragon's Barn. They went to the backyard, where they found Ace was sitting and sunbathing on his beach chair while eating his nachos, which was on top of table. Skysoar was there as well. He was checking in his paperclip/ "ACE!" Saber called happily. Ace looked surprise as he turned and looked at his master. He grabbed the naked mole rat. He hugged him happily. "I was so worried that I've lost you or you ran away from home! Don't ever do that again! Understand?!" Ace was confused and uncertain to shrugged, "Okay?" Saber sighed, "I'm so happy that you're alright, buddy." "So, what happen to him?" Applejack asked. Rarity nodded, "Where did you find him?" "Find him? He was with me for health checkup and health test," Skysoar said calmly, shocking and surprising the group. He continued, "I already told and reminded Saber about it. Since he slept late from his investigation case again, so I called and tell Shorty about it." Everyone was in shock as they turned and glared at nervous and worried Shorty. Saber groaned and growled in anger as his face was burning up in red. "Awkward..." Pinkie remarked nervously. Shorty gulped, "Saber, let me explain!" Saber screamed, "I'm gonna kill you!" Shorty screamed in fear as he quickly ran off. Saber chased after Shorty for not telling him about Ace's taking health check. The rest of their friends and even Ace shrugged and laughed amusingly and happily at Shorty's usual forgetfulness that cost him a big trouble again. Ace sighed, "Aieyah..." END...

After receiving the lick by the dog's lick, Fluttershy giggled happily, "Who's a good girl?" She patted the dog's head gently, "Almost done, Winona!" Winona panted happily as she stood still, allowing Fluttershy to wash the soap out. After that, she used hair dryer for blowing her drying her fur off, thought causing hers to get fluffy. The door suddenly opened. Fluttershy turned and found Applejack, Sunset and Icy entered the saloon. She picked and put the dog down. Winona shook her fluffy to normal fur. The dog barked happily as she trotted towards Applejack to grab and held her up. And at the same time, the dog licked her master's face. "Wow! Winona looks cleaner than a whistle!" Applejack commented. "Now she's all ready for the photo shoot." Fluttershy said happily. "Uh, photo shoot?" Sunset asked in surprise. "For the charity calendar." Icy explained. "We're making it to raise money for the local animal shelter. Fluttershy's been doing it. She enjoyed it a lot." Fluttershy nodded, "It's gonna feature all of our pets." Fluttershy shown Sunset to the animals' line up and sitting down on the red pillows.

"Wow, that's great! I wish I could contribute, but—" Sunset commented but stopped as she turned and found Applejack patted Winona happily. She sighed, "I don't have a pet." Icy nodded, "Me too. And too bad for Shorty, he hates pet because he doesn't like animals messing up with his lab." "Oh!" Fluttershy said in concern before gasped, "Do you want one?" "No, no. I wouldn't even know what to get." Sunset declined. Icy nodded, "Yeah. Maybe I'll check it out by myself." On the next day, both Mane Six and Dragon Strike Force brought and gathered their own pets at the music room for photo shoot. Shorty wasn't there since he's allergic to cats. Cutie Mark Crusaders were there as well to watch. Sunset and Icy joined the party as they were sitting down while watching the event. As both girls were watching their friends' playing with the pets, they can't take their eyes off and awing happily to see how cute and cuddly the animals are. Twilight and Nyx were grooming Spike's appearance. Applejack and Apple Bloom were training Winona. Rarity was teaching Sweetie Belle about brushing gently on Opal's furred tail. Rainbow and Scootaloo were feeding Tank. Pinkie, Laxtinct and Tailtech were hugging their pets, though two are stuff and robotic animals. Angel was patting her rabbit. Shadow Dragon was training his anaconda. Aqua was scratching and tickling her dog. Blazefist held Zuko on his hand. Terrorcreep fed some strawberries to Naughty. Saber and Ace were enjoying their cheesy nachos happily. Flash was playing with newly pet cat named Impact, given by Twilight when she found the same animal from last Monday. "Okay, everypet, get ready for your big close-up." Fluttershy said calmly. All the pets quickly gathered and sat down on the backdrop cardboard of colorful rainbow with clouds. They all smiled happily as they're ready for to get the shot. Icy squealed happily, "I can't take it. I want to have pet too!" Sunset nodded, "Me too! Fluttershy!" Everyone turned and looked at her and Icy. She continued, "We've changed our mind! Will you help us... choose a pet?" Fluttershy gasped, "I thought you'd never ask!" Fluttershy took both Sunset and Icy to the animal shelter for finding and adopting the animals as their own pet. Both of them awed in amazement and surprise of what they just saw. They can't wait to find and adopt them. "Welcome to the animal shelter!" Fluttershy introduced happily, "Oh, I just know there's gonna be the perfect little pet for you somewhere in here!" Sunset and Icy approached to the large container cages-like, which contained of various small and furry animals like hamsters, rats, mice, guinea pigs and some shrews. Fluttershy approached and picked the light brown colored Arctic Shrew up. "They're just so cuddly. Don't you think, you two?" Fluttershy asked happily. Icy gasped as she took the shrew from Fluttershy. She commented, "It is! It really is! She's cute and perfect! I like her! She's so fluffy and furry for me to touch!" She awed happily as she nuzzled her shrew's fur, making it squeaked happily. She smiled, "My little Olaf!" "Eh, not for me. Maybe something a little less... furry?" Sunset said uneasily. Fluttershy nodded as she led both Sunset and Icy to the aquarium, which contained of various types of fishes. One of them was a yellowish colored goldfish with red stripes on fins. "How about a betta fish?" Fluttershy suggested, "No fur at all. And this one's got beautiful fins." Icy nodded happily while looking at the fish, "And it has the same stripes as you are. It's perfect for you." "Very funny, Icy," Sunset commented. She sighed, "It would be cool to be able to hold my pet." Fluttershy nodded understanding as she too knows how she felt about wanted to touch and feel close to the pet. She gasped in realization, "Ooh, I know just the thing!" Fluttershy guide and led Icy and Sunset to another aquarium tank, which consisted of various scaled reptiles and lizards. Sunset was amazed by the species while Icy looked disgust as she kept her shrew close to her. "Uh, Fluttershy. No offense. I don't think reptiles are good for her," Icy said in concern. Fluttershy giggled, "Don't judge the book's cover. Remember the anaconda? People thinks it's a terrifying and deadly snakes. It's true, unless you provoke it to attack you. Many people proven that snakes can be pets including Shadow Dragon. And besides, Sunset decides which animal she wanted to pick." Icy hummed, "I guess you're right." Sunset stopped at once as she came across to golden lizard with black spots. She gasped and awed in amazement and surprise of what she was looking at. "Hey there, little guy." Sunset greeted happily. The lizard slowly turned its head to Sunset. All it ever did is smile charmingly at her. And to her, she saw something gold bright colors in her. It makes her to smile happily, "Well, aren't you just a little ray of sunshine!" Sunset turned to Fluttershy, "I'll take him." Fluttershy nodded happily while sniffled a bit as she's proud and happy that her two friends have found and adopted the pets. After finding and adopting the pets, three girls returned to the Canterlot High School's Music Room. Fluttershy readied with the camera to take the shot on all of the pets including Olaf and Ray, who were shy and a bit of distance from them. Their owners smiled, awed and commented happily to see their pets got along well. Both Olaf and Ray turned and looked at Fluttershy. The shy girl smiled at them, "Oh, don't worry. You can scoot in a little, sweetie. They won't bite." Both pets were still shy and uncertain until the owners came and held them up for the moment. Icy patted Olaf gently, "Everything will be fine, Olaf. You can count on me." "It's okay, Ray. I'll take care of you, okay." Sunset said calmly as she has the lizard climbed on her little finger. She has her face gently nuzzled with his, "Promise." Icy and Sunset returned both Olaf and Ray to the group, and this time, they're close to other animals. And just before Fluttershy could snap the photo, Angel jumped on surprised Spike's head, along with Dragoking coiled him and Winona up tightly and close to him. He also smiled widely and happily, at the same time. And at the same time; Naga, Opal, Impact and Pabu leaned on them from behind. Naughty and Zuko landed while showing off their wings proudly. Ace, Tank, T-Pup, Ray and Olaf hopped and made some funny faces. The photo has been snapped on it. Fluttershy took the photo out from her camera. She shown it to her friends. They awed happily to see how cute, friendly and close their pets are. A great photo for the charity calendar, indeed. END... Review and Suggest...

They're playing their favorite heroes - Flash played the Paladin, Sunset played the Warrior Princess, Fluttershy played the Sorceress, Rainbow played the Thief, Indigo played the Assassin and Sour Sweet played Barbarian. They went through lots and lot of battlefield, fortress, dungeon and even castle's palace levels. They chatted and shouted happily and wildly as they played very hard on the video game. They're now at the Final Level, where their avatars are facing off the final boss - Tirek himself. As Sunset and her team played their final level against the monster, they heard someone's humming happily and harmonically. It shocked and surprised the team. They looked back and found Laxtinct looking at the mirror. He worn some dark green T-Shirt with giant rock on yellow symbol with red pattern jacket, dark brown short pants and black shoes. He even surprisingly combed his hair into gentleman's. He smiled at the mirror while making the charming pose. "Yo, Baby! What's up?" Laxtinct said charmingly and calmly. He turned and looked at the teenagers, "What do you think? Do I look cool and handsome or something?" His friends looked uneasy and confusing of what they just saw. He looked worry, "Too much?" Sunset, Flash, Fluttershy, Rainbow and Indigo yelped and exclaimed frantically, "Oh no! It's okay! It's fine! Nothing bad or worse! You look cool! Just be cool, man! Nothing bad happens." "Cool. Thanks," Laxtinct said happily. He turned and headed towards the door, "Gonna be the best date ever." "Date? You have a date, bro?" Indigo asked in surprise. Laxtinct nodded happily. Rainbow laughed, "Are you kidding me or something?" "Nope, I'm not," Laxtinct said calmly and happily. "But you'd never date anyone before," Fluttershy said in concern. "Yeah. So, who's your lucky girl?" Flash asked amusingly. Sunset giggled, "I bet that she's sweet as angel or mermaid..." Laxtinct yelped, "Yeah. Funny thing you mention about it." He then cleared his throat, "Anyway, I'd better get going. Don't want my honey baby to be late! Later!" Laxtinct quickly headed off at once. This leaves the rest of his friends both suspicious and amusing about him and his mysterious 'date'. "You're thinking what I'm thinking?" Rainbow asked amusingly. Fluttershy gulped, "I don't like what you're thinking about what I'm thinking." "I'm cool with thinking exactly what I like about your thinking," Indigo said happily. "I think we all agreed with what we're thinking about," Sunset said playfully. "Uh? What?" Flash asked in confusion while rubbing his head, "What a headache." Sour Sweet sighed in annoyance, "We're gonna spy on Indigo's bro and his date." "Well, why did you say so?" Flash asked in annoyance, "Thinking... Thinking... What a headache..." Sunset giggled, "That's what I like about you. Being funny." As Laxtinct walked down happily to the street, Sunset and her friends followed him from behind while hiding behind some building, trash compactors, mail boxes and lampposts. They also did their best to avoid him spotting them. But the fun about following him is that Laxtinct is very clueless and has no idea that he's been followed. Laxtinct arrived at the restaurant Sweet Snacks Cafe. He then hummed happily while leaning against the walls. Sunset and her friends were hiding behind the car. They then took a peek and looked at what he was doing, and also who is the person he's dating with. And to their shock, a familiar yet air-headed enemy of theirs has arrived. She worn light navy-purple colored shirt with skirt, glimmering pinkish sleeveless jacket, black long sleeves with fingerless glove, long socks and purple high heel. "Laxie!" Sonata cried happily. Laxtinct gasped, "Sonata! He approached and hugged her happily. He then gave her a deep kiss. They both giggled happily. He smiled, "Ready for big date!" "Oh yeah, handsome. Did anyone follow you?" "Nope. You?" "Nope. Nothing is gonna ruin our date. Not a chance!" "Let's get in." Laxtinct led Sonata into Sweet Snack Cafe for their date. Sunset and her friends were in deep shock and confuse of what they just saw. "Did anyone see that?" Rainbow asked in shock and confusion. "Who the heck was that?" Indigo asked in confusion, "Why are we freaked out?" "Sonata Dusk - one of the Dazzlings," Sunset explained, "And she's a bad news. If she's here, then that means her friends are here too." "Yeah. But I don't see them yet," Flash said in concern as he looked around of his surroundings. "So, they're the bad guys?" Sour Sweet asked in annoyance. Everyone sans Indigo nodded. She hissed, "I hate bad guys!" "Me too. What should we do now?" Fluttershy asked in concern, "Sonata could hypnotize him to follow her!" "No, she won't," Sunset disagreed. Everyone looked at her. She continued, "Remember her jewel of song is destroyed. Meaning she can't hypnotized him. Even if she wanted to, Mutants are immune to magical creature's hypnotize." "And not to mention, she's ditzy as Derpy," Rainbow commented. "So, we just leave him alone with her?!" Indigo asked in concern. "No, we follow her," Sunset said calmly, "If she did something funny, then we'll take her down for good." "I just hope he's alright," Fluttershy said in concern. Flash patted Fluttershy while smiled, "Don't worry. He'll be fine. He's been in tough situation before. He can handle it." Sunset and her friends kept their eyes on Laxtinct and Sonata while they followed them from distance and hidden areas. Sunset and her friends watched and found Laxtinct and Sonata were having enjoyable and pleasant lunch and snacks of pizza, tacos, nachos, garlic bread and big bottle of coke. They then headed off to arcade for playing some various video games - dancing and showing off their moves, playing shooting guns, racing the karts and some classic games. They went to the karaoke for singing and fun, and he even helped her to sing properly and gently. They also watched some movie - comedy-romance movie. They even had some ice-cream and cakes. She enjoyed having fun time with him. And so far, the Siren hasn't done anything sinister and threatening to Laxtinct since she has been nice and playful with him for quite some time. Not to mention, she's hardly a villain at all. But she hadn't done anything wrong... At late evening, Sunset and her friends followed Laxtinct and Sonata to the Central Park. The couple all sat down and leaned to the trees. They're all looked at the full moon. Sunset and her friends hid behind the bushes. "So far, they hadn't done anything wrong..." Rainbow said calmly and firmly. Indigo snarled, "If she did, she's gonna get the ugly sight from me." "But this is Sonata, she seems nice," Fluttershy commented. "Well, you could never tell how bad it can go wrong," Flash said in concern, "And not to mention, worse as her buddies." "Hopefully, you're not talking about us, Twi's Boyfriend," The sarcasm voice spoke. Everyone looked back and found Adagio and Aria emerged from the shadows. They glared at the group. "Adagio Dazzle and Aria Blaze..." Sunset said dryly, "It's been a while." Adagio scoffed, "It is. Not since the Imperial Phoenix's Fortress." "And also, they screw up our jewels of song..." Aria remarked dryly. "Well, you were the bullies, who attacked our school and turn our friends on each other for powering up your powers," Fluttershy remarked dryly, "And not to mention, you helped Dark Curse." "So, what the heck are you doing here?" Rainbow asked dryly. Indigo snarled, "Yeah. Are you here to attack my bro?!" "No. Keeping an eye on him. Making sure he doesn't attack her!" Aria said dryly. Adagio nodded, "She maybe an idiot. She's still my friend and family. I won't let any of you harm her, even if it is a big fight!" "Fine by me, bitch! I prefer some fights!" Indigo snapped. Rainbow nodded, "You said it, sister. No one mess with our family!" "Fight can be ugly," Sour Sweet snarled a bit as she crunched her tin can, "Trust me. Don't make us ugly." Aria groaned, "You wish!" "Hold it!" Flash said firmly. The girls looked at him. He sighed, "You two wanna look after Sonata while we want to look after Lax, right?" "Your point?" The girls asked dryly. Flash sighed, "How about if any of our pals did something funny, we take down our own and teach them for messing up their dates?" The girls glared at him. He gulped, "How about it?" The girls gave some thoughts of what Flash has said. They nodded and answered, "Alright..." Flash sighed, "Close call..." The group hid behind the bushes while looking at the couples. Laxtinct leaned against the tree while Sonata was on top of him. They chatted and laughed happily. And at the same time, Laxtinct tickled and kissed her happily, making her giggle. "Wow. That's best date I ever had!" Sonata said happily, "Thanks, Lax!" Laxtinct smiled, "No problem. It's what boyfriend do." "Yeah. I'm surprise that you didn't tell your buddies about us." Sonata said in surprise, "About me. I mean I'm the bad guy." "Bad guy?" Laxtinct asked in shock and concern, "You kidding me?! No way!" "Come on, Lax. I may an air-headed, but I'm not dumb. The police have been looking for me and my girls. But you found me. You could have send me and my buddies to jail back." "Not a chance, baby! You and your sisters deserve freedom. You don't belong to prison." "Really? Why? How do you know that where I belong to?" "Because I know you better," Laxtinct said calmly, surprised Sonata. He continued, "And besides, you're very nice and kind girl I ever met. I don't care what people think about you. You're my girl. You belong here. You and I are together as couple. I'd never ever sent you away." Sonata was touched and inspired by Laxtinct's speech. She cried tearfully and happily. She jumped and hugged him, "Thank you so much, Lax. You're the best!" Both Laxtinct and Sonata gave each other a deep passionate kiss. The girls awed happily to see the couples kissing each other. Flash smiled, "Guess everyone's cool with it?" "Yeah..." The girls said happily. END... Review and Suggest... Main Casts: P.J.

The parents including their older sisters have allowed them to join and participated the event. They all chatted happily and excitedly about new event they're about to perform. "Oh! I can't wait to start it!" Apple Bloom said happily. Sweetie Belle nodded, "Me too! I've always want to do my part in Iris Crystal's Charity!" "Yeah! It's gonna be awesome!" Scootaloo exclaimed happily, "Anyhow... Who is Iris Crystal again?" "Are you serious?" Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle asked in annoyance. Nyx giggled, "Well, Iris Crystal was Shadow Dragon's first girlfriend and also my sister's best friend and teacher. And did I mention that she's Princess Celestia's kiddo?" Jade scoffed, "Who doesn't know that part? Why do you think she named the event after her?" "Make sense," Nyx joked, "I mean. Iris always like to help people out no matter what." "Then, let's make her proud!" Apple Bloom cheered. Sweetie Belle nodded, "We're gonna make the best out of Iris Crystal's Charity!" "You've said it!" Scootaloo agreed, "Guess what we're gonna call?" Cutie Mark Crusaders cheered as they jumped and gave each other a high five, "Cutie Mark Charity Helpers!" Diamond Tiara shushed at Cutie Mark Crusaders, "Quiet, girls! It's gonna start! "Yeah! We've gotta listen to some instruction," Silver Spoon said in agreement, "Can't afford to make a mess out of our assignment! It's gonna start!" Cutie Mark Crusaders yelped, "Oh! Sorry!" The young students turned and looked at the front, where Principal Celestia, Vice Principal Luna, Cheerilee, Flare Tiger and other staff members were standing before them. The principal approached to the microphone stand as she's making announcement. "Welcome, young students to the most important and unforgettable event - Iris Crystal's Charity!" Principal Celestia announced calmly and happily, "We're honored to have so many young students to join the event. You all already know what this event is for. So, our mission is to make the awareness and inspiration for poor and poverty. We help many people as much as we can, no matter how difficult and challenging it gets because we want them to be happy and reliable. We give them hope. And also, Miss Cheerilee will be in-charge of the event as usual, with the little help of her new assistant - Miss. Flare Tiger. I will let you both to take over now." As Principal Celestia stood back, Cheerilee smiled and spoke up, "Alright, students. I'm passing you all some assignments for you to follow. And remember, if you have any problem with it, we'd be happy to help you out." Flare Tiger whistled, "Alright, everyone! Let's get started!" The students cheered wildly and happily. Cutie Mark Crusaders were excited and happy for it as well. They can't wait to start working on it. The students went across to the neighborhood for different assignments, given by Miss Cheerilee and Flare Tiger. Some students did help out some of neighbors by doing some chores and works. Others helped and collected some unwanted clothes, stationary stuffs and tools for poverty. A few bought and brought some food and money to the poor. Most also helped and taken care of some disable people with the problems they have. They all enjoyed having fun of helping people out. Cheerilee and Flare Tiger went around to check and making sure the students are performing their works well. Cutie Mark Crusaders went around of the town while looking at their assignment. They wondered of what they can do with it. "Wow. They've got so many choice to do," Sweetie Belle commented. Scootaloo hummed in concern, "So, which one we should do? It's hard to choose." "And not to mention, it's a teamwork too," Apple Bloom said in concern, "And of course, we don't have much time." "Like that's gonna be easy," Jade said in skepticism. "We'll figure something out," Nyx said calmly, "We always do. First thing first, let's try the stuffs we're supposed to do." Cutie Mark Crusaders smiled, "Yeah!" Cutie Mark Crusaders have split up and did the assignment all by themselves. Apple Bloom handled with lawn mowing at her cousin's places. Sweetie Belle sang harmonically at the stage. Scootaloo was performing some food delivery across the town. Jade handled with collecting some unwanted clothes and toys. Nyx handled with creating awareness for the world to notice and help the people out. However, the assignments have proven too much for them to handle especially when they're on their own. Flare Tiger has noticed them doing their assignment. She can tell that they're having trouble with it. She hummed thoughtfully as she might able to help them. Cutie Mark Crusaders regrouped and met up at the clubhouse for discussion and planning since their solo mission didn't go so well. "So much for the assignment..." Apple Bloom said in concern. Scootaloo groaned, "Tell me about it. Do anyone else have the bright idea?" "Not really..." Jade admitted in concern, "Looks like we blow it off. So, what's next?" "I wish I knew..." Nyx and Sweetie Belle said in concern. "Mind if I cut in?" Flare Tiger's voice asked happily. Cutie Mark Crusaders turned and found the senior has arrived at the scene. They greeted her happily. She smiled, "Okay. Do you know your mistake?" "Not really?" Cutie Mark Crusaders admitted in concern. Flare Tiger giggled while smiling, "I'll give you a little hint. What common do your sisters have?" Cutie Mark Crusaders were confused and uncertain of what Flare Tiger's questions. They gave in some deep thoughts about it for the moment. After some time of thinking, they gasped in realization. They knew the answer. They gathered and circled around for some discussion. After their discussion, Cutie Mark Crusaders have decided to work together to finish their assignment. They worked and built a wagon that attached to their scooters and bicycles. The wagon consisted of various tools and gadgets. Since they've got what they needed for their assignment, they're ready for it. Cutie Mark Crusaders headed off to some neighborhood's houses and gardens for cutting and mowing the lawn. They then performed some tricks and talents at the stage for the neighbor to see. They then did some food delivery to the places. They also collected as much as clothes and items for charity. They made some awareness posters and flyers, and even doing tricks and talents. And unlike before, they worked well together on their assignment. Flare Tiger noticed it as she smiled happily to see Cutie Mark Crusaders working together again. She's happy and proud of it. After whole day of working on Iris Crystal's Charity, the students gathered up at the Canterlot High School's lawn. They all chatted and cheered happily that they done well with the charity. Principal Celestia and her staff members were gathered as well. She stood on the microphone stand for making the announcement. "Iris Crystal's Charity has been concluded! Congratulation to you all! You have done well!" Principal Celestia said proudly and calmly. She turned and looked at the money tester, which shown very high. She smiled, "We have gained enough money to help and support the poor and poverty! You all should be proud of yourself for helping the people." Everyone cheered wildly and happily especially Cutie Mark Crusaders. Flare Tiger approached to the group a she smiled at them. "Nice job, everyone." Flare Tiger said proudly, "Looks like you're following your sisters' footstep. They'll be proud of it." "Thanks, Miss. Flare Tiger. But we couldn't have done it without ya," Apple Bloom said happily. Sweetie Belle nodded, "Yeah. You're always be there for us, just like our sisters." "I just did what anyone could do," Flare Tiger remarked. "Maybe. But you're still the best," Jade commented. Scootaloo nodded, "Yeah. We're gonna keep this up together." "So, ready for next adventure?" Nyx asked happily. Cutie Mark Crusaders jumped and gave a high five, "Yeah!" Flare Tiger laughed happily, "Don't worry, partner. I'll keep an eye on you all. You can count on that." END... Review and Suggest...

Cheerilee Chantal Strand: Diamond Tiara Shannon Chan-Kent: Silver Spoon > S1E11: Science Date > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Instead of her usual white formal-like fashion dress, Rarity worn her new dress - blue sleeveless shirt with mini-skirt that has diamond patterns, dark purple skirt, dark purple fashion heels and her right hand has golden bracelet as she was leaning against Carousal Boutique's walls. She was waiting patiently and calmly. She hummed happily in the tone of 'Dance Magic'. She turned and found DJ-Pon3 was happily listening to her music. "Oh! I can't believe this is happening! I am so excited!" Rarity said happily. She turned and looked DJ-Pon3. She squealed happily, "Shorty's taking me out for date! Can you believe it?! My tutor and I are on the date!" DJ-Pon3 was busy listening to her music. Rarity sighed happily, "I have a hard time to believe that he and I are dating! I mean, how rare do you get to see a geek and fashionista like us to get a date?" DJ-Pon3 didn't answer as usual. Rarity squealed, "Not ever! And I have to be perfect and beautiful if I want to impress my boyfriend! Geek loved the most beautiful and popular girl like me. And there is no doubt that he will bring me to the most beautiful landscapes and places I enjoyed for our great romance! I can't wait to see it! I know it's gonna be the best!" "Do you always enjoy monologuing about yourself?" Shorty asked amusingly surprising Rarity to turn and look at him. He worn white suit with black bow tie and red rose. He laughed, "It's kinda embarrassing, you know?" Rarity giggled uneasily while blushed in red, "Sorry. I'm glad you make it. Love your suit. It makes you less geeky." "Gee. Thanks for the 'insult'..." "I meant compliment, Shorty. But you're very handsome boy in my eyes." "Okay. I'm fine now," Shorty smiled amusingly. He then looked at Rarity's dress, "Is this your new dress, Rarity? You design it?" Rarity smiled amusingly as she posed and showing off her dress, "Oh yes, it is, darling. Do you like it?" "I love it," Shorty commented, "Ready for the date?" Rarity giggled, "Yes, I am. So, what should we do now?" Shorty smiled, "You'll love it. Trust me." Rarity has a fantasy of her romance with Shorty such as enjoying expensive formal restaurant, watching artworks and fashion shows, watching movies, trying out some clothes, having fun at the carnival and entertainment shows, and so on. But she didn't expect her date to be different than her fantasy. Shorty has different ideas of date for him and his girlfriend. He has taken her to his interests - eating fast food restaurant, went to science and technology fare for learning and discovery, went to historical museum for learning, went to library to check on books and buying them as well, also went to some hardware shops for buying more tools and metals, and so on. While Short has indeed enjoyed his day, Rarity was not as she was purely disappointed and upset that her date is not what she expected. But the last thing she wanted is hurt her boyfriend's feelings. So she has to follow him and make him happy as much as she can, even though she might not like it very much. "Oh joy..." Rarity remarked sarcastically, "I enjoy it..." Shorty took Rarity to the Central Park, where they were taking a break and relaxing after a long day. They're now sitting down on the bench. Shorty looked very happy while Rarity was disappointed and annoyed over the date. "I can't believe this is not the date I was expecting..." Rarity said in annoyance. "Thank you, Rarity. I'm glad you enjoy it very much," Shorty said happily. He took a deep breathe in and release it out, "And now get ready for the final event." Rarity sighed, "Oh joy. I wonder what kind of event is that." "Trust me. You will enjoy it. I promised. Get ready, Rarity," Shorty said calmly as he looked at his watch, "5... 4... 3... 2... 1... Now!" BOOM! Rarity yelped in surprise as she and Shorty looked up and found the night sky is filled with more exploding fireworks by big and small. They both awed in amazement and surprised by the fireworks. It was truly beautiful and amazing for them to watch. "Oh my... It's beautiful..." Rarity remarked in surprise. Shorty smiled, "Glad you like it, Rarity. And thanks for standing by my side for my interest, even thought you hated it." "Y-You knew it?!" "Of course, I do. You're my girlfriend. I know you too well." "So, you're not mad at me for being a liar and bored to death about your science?" "Nah... I'm used to it a lot," Shorty said calmly, "But you, you've always support your friends and even me, despite that you might get bored or hate it a lot. That's what I loved about you." Rarity blushed as she awed and hugged Shorty happily, "Oh! Shorty! Now I know why I loved you! You're the best!" Shorty smiled, "I know. Tomorrow morning, we're gonna watch your favorite movie and fashion shows." "Deal! Give me something special in-return, darling!" "What would that be?" "You and I know the answer too well." Rarity grabbed and held Shorty closed to her for them to kiss deeply and passionately under the full moon and exploding fireworks. END... Review and Suggest...

They then found Mane Seven giggled happily and amusingly while they're still lying down on the wet floor. It surprised and confused the team. "EPIC FAIL!" Mane Seven laughed happily. "Okay, did I miss something?" Flash asked in confusion as he helped Sunset out, "What was that?" Laxtinct nodded, "Yeah. Why are you lying down on the fail?" "What's with 'Epic Fail'?" Shadow Dragon asked curiously as he helped Twilight, "Sounds like you enjoy failing. That is so not like you." Twilight giggled, "Actually, we were talking about our embarrassing moment we have for this year. We got so distracted while not watching where we were going and get tripped by the wet floor." Sunset nodded happily, "Yeah. So, what's your embarrassing moments you have in your life?" Mane Seven chatted and nodded in agreement about it. Hearing the kind of questions, Dragon Strike Force and Flash looked shock and embarrassed. They hated to talk about it as well. They recalled their embarrassing moments in their lives... Flashback In the forest, Shadow Dragon was training and performing some of his Mixed Martial Art Moves by himself. He performed various of them very well. He is now on top of three logs-like pillars. He was on top of tallest log as he was in Crane Technique Position, one of the most effective yet challenging Karate Moves to perform. He took a deep breathe and released it calmly and firmly. He opened his eyes as he jumped and kicked off by left before land on the log while lifting his right leg up. But instead, he tripped and slipped off on its platform edge while falling down on the ground hard. This resulted him some backaches and head's back got hit hard. Shadow Dragon yelped and screamed in pain while rubbing his head. Dragoking laughed amusingly at him. Flash and his band were practicing and playing their music happily and wildly for their next performance. They chatted and commented to each other about their practice and song have gotten better. They decided to practice again. As they played their instruments and songs, the sounds got oddly off. They were confuse and uncertain as they kept on trying to get the right notes while wondering why it's getting worse and off. They then got into argument at each other about the mess they make up. Unknown to the group, Adagio was at the music studio as she snickered evilly for pranking on Flash Drive band. In his discipline office, Blazefist has gathered all of the prefects. Principal Celestia, Vice Principal Luna and Spell Nexus have arrived to the office. They carefully inspecting, checking and reviewing how presentable, serious and formal the prefects are. They gave good reviews about the prefects, making Blazefist pleased and satisfied about his work. They then come across to Rarity, who worn stylish and glimmering purple colored prefect uniforms while performing her dancing moves. Principal Celestia and her staffs turned and glared at Blazefist, who is annoyed and embarrassed by Rarity's attempt for showing off her fashion again. Aqua blew a loud whistle, making sure that her students were doing their soccer practice at the soccer field due to next month's competition against Crystal Prep Academy. The training has been going for weeks. The students became exhausted and annoyed by her training as they decided to make her chill off. While she was busy teaching her students about new tricks and formation; Rainbow, Pinkie, Micro Chip, Sandalwood, Zephyr Breeze and Curly Winds readied and dumped the canister of lemon juice on her. Everyone laughed happily at her, and even Rainbow Dash. Aqua groaned in anger as she removed the canister while glaring at her students, who quickly ran off at once. She angrily chased after them at once. Shorty, his sisters and Tailtech were working and repairing the Armor Guardians' armors and weapons at the secret laboratory. And at the same time, they were listening to radio's music as the means of keeping them focus on their works. However, Shorty and Ciel enjoyed listening to a gentle and calm meaningful song while Tailtech and Asami preferred some rock'n'roll music. Each team hit the radio's buttons in getting the right music to listen, causing them to argue and shout at each other for changing while working on their project. Incidentally, Tailtech has accidentally wielded and held close to the fire sprinkler, causing it to go alarm and rained on them. While the group get wet, their works got soaked and electrocuted to go black out. At Virtue Dragon's Barn, Saber and his cousins were working and farming on the farmlands. They all enjoyed working it. Then, one of his cousins - Heavy has suggested of doing some competition: first person of getting the job done, everyone will do whatever the winner wanted to do.

Kindy was watering the plants. Terrastrike was painting on the resident and its barn. Heavy was collecting the eggs from chicken. As Saber and his cousins were working on their farm, Terrastrike and Heavy got heated up with the competition, causing them to get in trouble - Terrastrike has painted on the bull's face while Heavy accidentally plucked the chicken's feather. This has caused the animals gone wild and crazy to chase them off. They bumped on the rest of their cousins to shout and fight among themselves until they caused a big mess and the barn's destruction. They're in trouble. Terrorcreep met up with Fluttershy at the cafeteria for their date. While they both were busy talking and chatting about the animals and bats, Aria sneaked past by some students as she changed the strawberry cake to red colored garlic cakes. She then quickly returned to the group. As Terrorcreep and Fluttershy ate their dessert, the vampire yelped and spitted it out due to him eating the garlic cake. He yelled and screamed angrily as he felt his throat hurt and sore. She went after him as she tried to calm him down. At the same time, Aria laughed at them. Icy volunteered to cook the dinner for Laxtinct and Sonata at her home. Both the couples were reluctant and uncertain if they wanted to eat her latest cook. After she finished cooking, she set up the burnt and messy cooked of spaghetti for them to try. They looked scared and worried upon looking at the food. They quivered and shivered in fear as they took a big bite on them. They yelped in shock and disgust. They headed off to the bathroom, where they vomit out the disgusting food. Icy looked confuse and uncertain of what just happen. Flare Tiger was babysitting and teaching Cutie Mark Crusaders during the camp as camp counselor or dean mother. As she was keeping an eye on them, the children got into trouble, getting her a lot of problems such as got chased by the animals, putting out the fires, messing up with the wrong people, scolding them for playing video games, trying to make the best stories but only bored them, and so one. After a week has passed, Cutie Mark Crusaders enjoyed the camp while Flare Tiger looked exhausted and defeated before falling on the ground hard. All of them are marked as 'Epic Fail'! Flashback Ends Dragon Strike Force was embarrassed by the thoughts of embarrassing moments they have to deal with. Mane Seven looked at them amusingly and slyly. "Absolutely nothing! We've got nothing to hide!" Shadow Dragon exclaimed in concern, "Right, guys?!" Dragon Strike Force yelped and nodded in agreement, "Yeah!" Mane Seven were unconvinced, Twilight giggled slyly, "Okay. Whatever you say, Shadow Dragon. Just watch where you were stepping..." Shadow Dragon scoffed, "Very funny..." As Shadow Dragon was about to move, he accidentally tripped and slipped by Dragoking's body. He fell on his friends and others on the wet floor again. Instead of annoying and angry, all of them laughed amusingly and happily about their latest embarrassing moment. "EPIC FAIL!" END... Review and Suggest...

Master Zhao Long - a white adult at 50s with light green-cyan mixed colored spiky short hair worn worn black Kung Fu robe scolded angrily at Shadow Dragon about Flash's behavior and attitude on his dojo, making the latter bowed to the ground in shame and humble. Master Zhao Long returned to dojo for continuing his training with the students. Shadow Dragon and Flash got into a heated argument. The member of Dragon Strike Force scolded angrily at the guitarist's lack of discipline and respect to both his master and other students. Flash blamed his own best friend for not standing up for him. They both split up and went separate ways for time out. Angrily and annoyed by his best friend's not standing up, Flash approached to the water fountain. After some thinking about his action, he sighed in defeat. He has realized his mistakes and mess he has make, putting Shadow Dragon in a difficult situation. He lamented of his mess as he flipped his coin into it, hoping and wishing that he could repair his mistakes. Flash turned and found Trixie struggled of holding and carrying cargo of her magic tricks and tools especially the crystal ball was shaking and moving around on top of it. It fell off from the top. Luckily, he grabbed it in time. He smiled weakly as he placed and put the crystal ball inside the magic top hat. Trixie was surprised yet relieved to smile that she has someone to help him out. Flash: The truth that we have come to know Starts out small, but watch it grow Trixie: Taking time to help each other Brings us close to one another While carrying her cargo, Trixie was walking down the hallway of shopping centers. She then came across to the pillar, which has the Missing Poster, involving of Angel and Naughty being missing. She then turned to movie theater, where she spotted Fluttershy was sending out and giving flyers to bypass. Terrorcreep met up with her after looking around at the mall for their missing pets. She cried tearfully as she approached and hugged her boyfriend, who hugged her back. Feeling sympathy and pity for both Fluttershy and Terrorcreep about their pets, Trixie decided that she should help them out since Flash helped her out. She approached to both of them. Using her witch's hat, she performed some tricks within, making Angel and Naughty to appear before them. Both of them gasped in surprise before grabbed and hugged their pets passionately. And at the same time, they thanked Trixie for helping them out. Fluttershy and Terrorcreep: Beginning now starts something new Good deeds done out of the blue Put your kindness to the test You'll be amazed what happens next Fluttershy and Terrorcreep were heading back to the pet shop. Laxtinct and Pinkie, who were running away for their lives due to them being chased by Blazefist. The Discipline Teacher was angry at them for using his credit card to buy their expensive cupcakes. As Blazefist was chasing after his friends, they got bumped on the couples hard. They fell on the ground hard. And at the same time, the cupcakes hit on Bulk Bicep's cap. It exploded, causing his cap to disintegrate. Bulk Biceps gasped in shock upon looking at his top head, which is bald and burnt marks. He cried tearfully about his hair. The group felt bad and shame for making his hair bald. Fluttershy gave some thoughts of helping him out. After some thinking, she whistled out loud, causing the squirrel appeared and jumped on his head. Though it was not a wig or cap to cover his head, Bulk Biceps smiled happily as he gave both Fluttershy a deep passionate hug. Fluttershy: One small word can brighten the world around you One big smile can change someone's day Approaching to the fashion store's glassed, Bulk Biceps looked at his reflection as he patted on the squirrel gently and calmly. He then spotted Twilight, in technician uniform, struggled moving the trolley of technology and computer cargo. Suddenly, the trolley lots its left wheel, preventing her to move them to her shop in time. Luckily, Bulk Biceps has decided to help Twilight out. With his great strength, he helped and carried the boxes out while giving her a wink. Knowing what he was doing, Twilight guided and led Bulk Biceps back to the shop. Bulk Biceps: A helping hand goes farther than you can dream Good vibes, so many different waves After arriving at computer shop, Twilight guided and instructed Bulk Biceps of where he should put the cargo is. She then spotted DJ-Pon3 arrived at the shop. She approached and shown her damaged DJ Jockey to Twilight. Twilight smiled gently and calmly as she levitated and summoned some tools in checking, analyzing and repairing the DJ Jockey, with the help of her magic. After a while of fixing it, DJ Jockey was fixed. She passed it to DJ-Pon3. The DJ smiled happily about it while giving a thumbs up to her. DJ-Pon3: Moments that you don't expect Spirits down, you're in the depths Twilight: The world feels like it's lost the light But little things can make it right At the Carousal Boutique shopping center, Rarity and Sunny Flare, dressed in her fashion dressing code, struggled with getting customers' attention to come and visit the boutique. She even took a glance at the DJ Booth, where DJ-Pon3 was supposed to come and play the music. Without the music, the business may go out of business soon. Luckily, DJ-Pon3 has arrived in time while started playing the music. This attracted the customers to come in and checked out on the fashions. She gave a thumbs up to Rarity and Sunny Flare, who both were happy and relieved that business can go on. Rarity: Think of all the lives you've touched They come 'round and twice as much DJ-Pon3: Friendship makes the world get lighter Blur the lines and make it brighter Rarity and Sunny Flare were taking their break as they headed off for getting some drinks from Auntie Orange's Smoothie. They were on their way back to the shop. They came across to the sport shop, where Rainbow and Indigo were competing for packing up the shoe boxes in pyramid positions. Both of them have finished up their work in time. Rainbow and Indigo were busying arguing and insulting each other of who is the winner. Cutie Mark Crusaders bought the canoe. They were charging out of the shop, causing both pyramids of shoe boxes to fall down. Both of them yelped in shock as they tried to hold them from falling. Lucky for them both, Rarity summoned her Force Field Diamonds in blocking and holding the pyramid of shoe boxes from falling. And at the same time, Sunny Flare summoned the drones to move and rearranged them in pyramid positions. Both Rainbow and Indigo gave thumbs up to Rarity and Sunny Flare for helping them out. Rarity: One small word can brighten the world around you One big smile can change someone's day Rainbow: A helping hand goes farther than you can dream Good vibes, so many different waves Sunset has finished her shift for the Sushi Restaurant. She has worn her Japanese Sushi Chef robe. She exited out and headed off to meet up with her friends. While she was walking down the hallway of shopping centers, she got tripped and fell to the ground hard. She turned and found her right slipper got broken. It shocked and upset her. Rainbow and Indigo have arrived before their friend. They helped her to sit down on the bench. They then shown some of shoe box for her to try. After couple of them to tryout, Sunset chose the black sport shoes with star pattern. She smiled happily as she gave her friends a warm hug for helping them out. Sunset: It only takes a moment to make someone's day Good vibes, good vibes Rainbow: It keeps us growing stronger, so let's hear you say Good vibes, good vibes After paying the bill to her friends, Sunset headed off to meet up with her friends. She then heard some grunt noise. She turned and entered the dojo, where she found Shadow Dragon angrily gave multiple punches on the Wing Chun Wooden Dummy. His fists are bleeding out. She became worried about him as she quickly stopped him at once. She then questioned him about it, which he answered sadly and shamefully about his argument and fight with Flash. Sunset shown her sympathy and worried looks as she gave some thoughts. And she has the idea. Sunset dragged and led Shadow Dragon out to find Flash. They came across to the water fountain, where Flash was sitting down sadly and shamefully. They both approached to him. Sunset patted his hair gently. Flash looked up and found Shadow Dragon and Sunset stood before him. He was surprised to see them both. Sunset passed the Sushi Package to Shadow Dragon, who sighed calmly and passed it to Flash. He gave a sad smile while apologized for his action. And in turn, Flash smiled and forgave his best friend while apologized for his mess. Both Shadow Dragon and Sunset sat down on the water fountain. Three of them began having lunch. Soon, the rest of Mane Seven and Dragon Strike Force have arrived and joined them for lunch, along with Trixie, Bulk Biceps, DJ-Pon3, Sunny Flare and Indigo Zap. All of them enjoyed eating their lunch happily. Everything is fine now... All: One small word can brighten the world around you One big smile can change someone's day A helping hand goes farther than you can dream Good vibes, so many dif-fer-ent waves END...

Sunset informed her friends of the situation about possible Elemental Geodes. Both Mane Seven and Dragon Strike Force agreed to help out with the mission. Inside the secret laboratory, Shorty and his sister - Ciel were building and inventing on the small device-like with a single antennae and the screen has the meter with an arrow. They even tried to synchronized the crimson colored geodes into both computer and device. They were finishing up with tightening the screw on it. "There we go. That should do it," Shorty commented as he took out his goggle. He sighed, "I think it should work." Ciel smiled, "It'll work. With the help of Sunset's Geode energy signal, we should able to locate, identify and match any kind of magic. The Magical Detector will help us find them." "True, indeed," Shorty agreed calmly while looking at the Magical Detector, "Now, all we need now is do some trials on this device before we could use it on the mission." Ciel nodded in agreement, "Yeah. So, where do we start?" DING! Blazefist, Sunset, Rainbow and Asami Gear - a young lighter reddish teenager with dark crimson long curly hair with orange stripes worn a reddish long shirt-like dress, blackish coat, dark reddish pants and black boots have arrived at the scene. And to the scientists' surprise, they found the geode glowed brightly, causing the device became active with meters going wildly and making beeping noise. "Hey, guys!" Sunset greeted warmly. She then noticed her geode was glowing and the device was shaking out wildly. The geode floated a bit for the moment before flew straight at her hand. She looked surprised and impressed, "Wow! Looks like your device's working well. Right?" "Sort of, I think," Shorty admitted in surprise. He turned and looked at Sunset's holding the geode, "Apparently, your geode activated itself when you're close by. It then sent straight back to its original owner. Kinda like a homing signal." "So, therefore, it could work on other Elemental Geodes. They could be activated themselves when we're close to them," Asami added in, making Shorty nodded in confirmation. She whistled, "Wow. That's impressive. Now, the question is how can we activate their homing beacon? They could be anywhere." "One way to find out," Ciel suggested calmly as she turned her attention to the computer. Attaching and connecting the wire to Magical Detector, she then accessed and checked on her monitor screen. It revealed worldwide map, slowly revealing a red dot on the Amazon Rainforest. She whistled, "Looks like it works. And surprisingly, just one only." "If it's anything like Elemental Elements from back home, then it means the time of Chosen One must go and find it," Sunset theorized calmly. "Who is it?" Blazefist asked firmly, "We can't just bring everyone there. Some of them have to be home for the job and school." And to everyone's surprise, the Magical Detector's screen glowed in red as it beams the crimson laser at Blazefist. "Guess that answers your question, Commander," Asami commented in surprise. "Well then, I'm heading out to the Amazon Rainforest now," Blazefist said firmly and calmly, "The rest of you stay behind." "Yeah, no, Commander," Sunset protested, making Blazefist to turn and look at him. He continued, "I'm coming with you." Rainbow squealed happily, "Cool! If she's going, then I'm going too!" "What?! What makes you two think that I'd be bringing you with me on this mission?!" Blazefist asked firmly and seriously, "You two have studies and co-curriculum activity to deal with. So, give me one good reason why you two need to come with me." Rainbow scoffed, "You need some speed, agility and awesomeness like me! I'm 20% cooler!" Sunset groaned a bit, "That is not the reason, Rainbow Dash. You need a magical expert, who knows and understand on how to use the geodes. And not to mention, I've got all the information from Twilight of how these geodes works." "And may I added a little detail, you're gonna need someone fast enough to take out the soldiers and traps," Rainbow added playfully. Shorty hummed thoughtfully, "Their reasons... Logical. If you think about it, Blazefist, you maybe a Mutant of Fire, but added in the Elemental Geode, there is no telling what kind of power you may possessed and how you can control it. It would be best that you would bring some units with you especially Sunset." Asami nodded, "They have the point. Plus, taking the plane to another area may cost a lot. And also, both Shorty and me have prepared a special transport for you to use." Shorty nodded, "On one condition, I pilot the gunship. The last thing we need is someone mess it up badly..." "Hey!" Rainbow protested in annoyance. After giving some thinking of their suggestion, Blazefist sighed in defeat, "Fine. Don't make me regret about it. The sooner we get it done, the sooner I can get back home to watch Indigo's entering the finals for tomorrow. Can't miss it." "Don't worry, you won't regret it, Commander," Sunset playfully saluted. Ciel smiled, "I'll stay here and monitor the situation." As suggested, Shorty and Asami presented their newly built of advanced and armored blackish gunship-like armed with twin rotor blades and a rotor tail to fly, missile launchers, pair of forward cannons, twin turbo lasers and laser armored turrets. It was called 'Dragon Armor Strike-I'. They both piloted the gunship while Blazefist, Sunset and Rainbow have boarded the passenger's seat. The Dragon Armor Strike-I flew straight to the Amazon Rainforest of South America, where they believed that the Elemental Geode is located. Dragon Armor Strike-I has descended and landed on the opened space of Amazon Rainforest. Blazefist climbed down from the gunship, followed by Sunset and Rainbow. Both of them were wearing Daring Do's Cosplay suits, which annoyed him. "You wanna tell me why you even wear Daring Do Cosplay?" Blazefist asked in annoyance. Rainbow looked disbelief and annoyance with a scoff, "Uh, hello? Have you read or watch the Daring Do show, buddy? When there's adventure, she goes with it!" She sighed happily and calmly while taking a breathe, "Can you smell it? I smell adventures! And I am part of it!" Sunset laughed a bit, "Believe it or not. This is my first time to go another place than just Canterlot City. Plus, at least, there's no pressure of saving the world. A bit too much." "Come on. It's fun," Rainbow commented happily. Blazefist groaned, "We're not here for fun. We're here on the mission. So, stay focus, alright?" "Alright. You don't need to get worked up for nothing, you know?" Rainbow complained in annoyance. "Look, Blazefist, you don't have to worry about it. We'll find and get the geode. Count on it," Sunset said confidently. Blazefist sighed, "That doesn't make me feel any better..." "You know. You really lighten up," Sunset said dryly, making the Commander glared at her. She yelped, "Uh, sir..." "Yeah, right..." Blazefist remarked dryly. "I'll be here waiting." Shorty said firmly. He turned to Asami, "Asami, you sure you can handle it? This is no game." Wearing the black battle suit with red patterns, Asami smiled calmly as she patted her older brother's shoulder, "Wally, you need to relax. I'll be fine. I have three heroes to look after me. I'll be fine. Plus, these guys need my expert to locate them." Shorty sighed, "I supposed so." He turned and glared at Blazefist, Sunset and Rainbow. He snarled a bit, "You'd better look after her or else..." Blazefist, Sunset and Rainbow looked uneasy and nervous while chuckled a bit. They all nodded in agreement that they'll looked after her during their trip. They all then headed off to find and locate the Elemental Geode. While following Asami's Magical Detector, Blazefist and his team have been travelling through the jungle while cutting down the vines and bushes for nearly 15 minutes. And at the same time, they were keeping their eyes out for both wild animals and enemies. But so far, there was nothing... Rainbow groaned in annoyance, "Are we there yet?" "No," Blazefist said firmly and dryly, "We're not here for some adventures." Rainbow grumbled, "I know that. Just want to have some fun, that's all." Blazefist and his team came across to strange scary and monstrous statues. They all halted at once while inspecting and checking on the surroundings. "Looks like we've come across to the first trap!" Rainbow exclaimed happily. Blazefist groaned, "Don't be ridiculous. Most of the traps are ancient and out. There is no way they're functioning in this time of era." And just before Blazefist could move, Sunset halted him at once. She took out her old book. She threw it straight to the front by 3 meters ahead. When it hit the ground, its weight made the floor creak sound, causing the statues to launch multiple arrows out from their mouths and eye-holes. This shocked Blazefist to disbelief about the ancient traps are still functioning. Sunset turned and gave a nod to Rainbow, who looked excited and happy. By using her geode's power, she charged and sped through the trap while dodging and evading the arrows piercing and shooting her down. By the end of the path, she found an ancient contraption of controller. She looked and observed carefully. After studying it, she pulled down on the far right lever, causing the trap to shut down. Returning to the group, Rainbow commented playfully, "Told ya! And there say fiction doesn't apply on reality." Blazefist groaned, "Lucky shot. We got rid of the trap, and continue our journey." "Don't bet on it. Still got plenty more to deal with," Sunset said firmly and calmly. Blazefist groaned, "Oh joy..." Blazefist and his team continued their mission, searching for the Elemental Geode. Unfortunately for them, Rainbow, got excited and wild with the adventures, got herself and her friends into a lot of troubles and problems such as going to wrong ways, picking a fight with the locals, gotten into various traps such as rolling boulders, falling into a pit, evading the spikes from both sides and even flying arrows, and they have to deal with some fierce and wild animals. They managed to evade and escaped them barely, thanks to Blazefist and Sunset, who both often gotten into argument of handling the situation. Nevertheless, they continued their travel until they reached their destination... Exhausted and tired from travelling and evading the traps, Blazefist and his team have arrived at the large Aztec Temple-like. While looking at the Magical Detector, it was pointing at the tallest temple. They all sighed in relief as they have finally found and located the geode. "Looks like we have found it," Asami said in relief, "All we need to do is climb to the altar." Rainbow giggled happily, "I wonder what kind of a trap or guardian we'd be dealing with." Blazefist groaned, "Rainbow, please be quiet for once about your crazy adventures. I'm pretty sure we won't come across to it." "I wouldn't be sure of that," Sunset said firmly. Blazefist turned and glared at her. She looked confuse and uncertainty, "What? I'm just saying." Blazefist scoffed, "Don't push your luck, kid." Blazefist headed off, leaving the rest of his teammates confused and uncertain. Sunset looked at Asami and Rainbow, who responded by shrugged in uncertainty as well. Nevertheless, they followed after him, making sure that nothing could get him into trouble. After climbing the stairs for almost two hours, Blazefist and his team arrived at the top of altar, where they found a similar geode like theirs, glowing brightly and blazingly like a fire. "Looks like we've found it," Rainbow cheered happily. Blazefist sighed as he was about to get the geode. She yelped as she halted Blazefist's hand, "Are you crazy?! Don't you know the rules of being archaeologist?! Don't take the stuffs until you're certain that there is no trap!" "Rainbow's right. I have the feeling that the trap could be set if we take the geode out," Sunset agreed in concern. She searched through her bag, "Gotta be something to replace it." Blazefist groaned, "Oh! Damn it! Enough with fantasy!" Blazefist quickly grabbed and picked up the geode, alerting and scaring rest of his teammates to prepare themselves for any sign of trap. For a second, nothing happened. "See? Nothing happens?" Blazefist said calmly. Suddenly, he and his teammates heard a loud bang and something make a creak noise. They turned to the front as they found the stone door slowly opened by lifting up and revealed the giant boulder. He groaned, "I hate it when I'm wrong. RUN!" As commanded, Blazefist and his team screamed and panicked in fear as they ran for their lives by sliding down the stair's bars to the ground. They continued running through the same route they came through, but the giant boulder is rolling and chasing after them. "The big boulder is coming after us!" Rainbow exclaimed in fear. "Damn it! Blazefist, what were you thinking?! Can't you just listen to us for once," Sunset asked angrily and annoyingly, "I know we're just students and kids, but we're not that stupid! Plus, everyone should know not to take anything so priceless and important from the altar, which trigger the trap! Seriously, what is up with you?" Blazefist sighed, "You're right. I'm sorry. As Commander, I should be leading and handling the situation, not you girls. But instead, I put you all in danger. You girls managed to overcome it well. I really messed up. I'm sorry." "That's what bother you?" Sunset asked in disbelief, "Come on, Blazefist. We're the team, not leaders. Don't you trust us?" After some thoughts, Blazefist turned and looked at Sunset. He sighed in defeat, "I do. Do you have any plans to get out of predicament?" "Would be better of to use the geode now?" Rainbow suggested. "We don't even know what it can do?!" Asami exclaimed in concern while contacting her brother. Sunset sighed, "It's better than nothing." Hate to disagree with her, but Sunset was right. As soon as they arrived back to the first trap, Blazefist quickly turned and faced at the rolling boulder. He armed himself while holding the geode tight on his right palm. As it lowed brightly, Blazefist gave the battle cry as he launched and unleashed a powerful phoenix-like flamethrower, flying and ramming straight at the boulder. After making the impact with the boulder, the blazing phoenix-like rammed and broke it into pieces before it dispersed into nothingness. Seeing what he has done, Blazefist and his team cheered out wildly and happily. "Now, that is awesome!" Rainbow cheered. "Yeah, it is," Blazefist said in relief. He turned and looked at Sunset and Rainbow, "Thanks for the help. I guess I need some serious remind that there's no 'I' in the team. And of course, the leader needs to listen to his friends, even though it's crazy." Sunset nodded, "Yup. What are friend for." Blazefist and his team heard the loud booming noise. They turned and looked back as they found Dragon Armor Strike-I is coming to the area. They all waved at him, letting Shorty knows that they're down at the first trap. As expected, the gunship lowered down the ropes for them to use and climbed back up inside. With everyone's back on the gunship, Dragon Armor Strike-I took off and returned back to their home. They have found and retrieve the Elemental Geode of Fire. END... Review and Suggest... Main Cast: Rebecca Shoichet: Sunset Shimmer Ashleigh Ball: Rainbow Dash Josh Keaton: Blazefist Sam Riegel: Shorty Thinking Stephanie Sheh: Ciel Seychelle Gabriel: Asami Gear > S2E2: Partner > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Season 2 Episode 2: Partner Inside the Canterlot High School, most of the students were chatting while some were checking and picking up something from their own lockers. Twilight was humming peacefully and happily while picking some books from her locker. As she locked her locker, she found Shadow Dragon leaned against the locker. "Hey, Twi," Shadow Dragon greeted warmly with a smirk. Twilight sighed in annoyance with her rolling eyes, "If you're thinking about us being the partners together again, then you've got another thing coming to you, mister." "Wow. Are you still mad at me over last year's project?" "As a matter of fact, I am. Just because you don't like science, doesn't mean that you have to do something drastic and ridiculous to skip the project like talking about a live predator and prey in front of some kids?! I mean, seriously, who on Earth thinks like that?!" "Well, it was awesome to see how predator tackle the prey. Plus, Dragoking loved being on spotlight, you know." Shadow Dragon commented nervously and a bit of playfully. Twilight groaned while crossed her hands a bit. He sighed, "Come on, Twi. I promised that I'll do better for this term. You can count on it." Twilight hummed suspiciously, "I don't know..." "Did I ever tell you that you're the most beautiful girl in this world?" Shadow Dragon asked calmly and sincerely, "You're the only one, who stole my heart." Twilight scoffed, "Shadow Dragon, please, don't try to charm me again. That isn't you. However, I will reconsider about it." "You're the best!" Shadow Dragon exclaimed happily as he hugged his girlfriend happily. "On one condition, mister," Twilight said dryly while glaring at him. Shadow Dragon nodded nervously. She continued, "If we fail, then you're gonna take Spike out for a walk and feed him too!" Shadow Dragon groaned, "Do I have too? You know that I'm not cool with dogs." Twilight snarled a bit, "Shadow Dragon..." Shadow Dragon groaned, "Fine. Better than doing math. Numbers. What a headache..." Heard the bell ringing, Twilight sighed, "Come on, 龙师傅, we've got class now." Just before Shadow Dragon could react, Twilight dragged and pulled him as they're heading straight to science class now. Twilight and Shadow Dragon have arrived and entered the science class, where most of her classmates including Rarity, Sunset, Flash and even Derpy. Most of them were chatting happily and calmly about the upcoming science project for them to do. The door was opened and revealed a lighter brownish man with his dark chocolate spiky hair combed down in his 30's worn a white shirt with dark blue vest, greenish bow tie and blue pants and trench coat as well. He called himself 'Dr. Whooves'/ "Good day, students," Dr. Whooves greeted warmly, "I see everyone's present in my class. Well then, by all means, we should begin the science project very soon. It's an important credit to your academy result, dear students." The students chatted calmly and firmly. Some were excited while others were annoyed and disappointed about it. "Now, now, students. For this project, you will be paired together. So, some of you might be indecisiveness and uncertain of whom to partner with" Dr. Whooves said seriously and firmly, with a smile, "Luckily for you, I'll decide who you will be partner with." Dr. Whooves listed down students paired including Rarity partnered with Derpy and Shadow Dragon and Sunset are partners. "Lastly, Twilight Sparkle and Flash Sentry will be the team," Dr. Whooves added firmly. Flash looked surprise and happy while looking at Twilight. She looked uncertainty and worried about partnering with him. Quickly raised her hand, Twilight asked, "Dr. Whooves, is it too late to change your partner?" "No changes, Ms. Sparkle. I've already decided," Dr. Whooves said firmly, "So, you'd best start getting to know your partner, or you fail." Twilight sighed in concern. Flash smiled warmly, "Relax, Twilight. I've got your back. We'll ace this project. Count on it." Twilight gulped, "That's what worries me..." After the science class, Twilight has arrived and returned to her locker as she was searching and collecting some stuffs and books from it. Twilight looked uneasy and worried about having new partner - Flash Sentry. She was told that he was known to be the best rockstar in high school, as well as skilled and good in sports. This makes her uneasy and uncertainty of whether he's good at science because of what she has seen and heard from school and others that they're known to be intelligent people. She is very uncertainty about trusting Flash to work with her over science project. "Hey, Twilight," Sunset greeted warmly as she, Rarity and Shadow Dragon approached to her, startling her best friend. She asked in concern and surprise, "You okay?" Rarity also noticed Twilight's looks as well, "Indeed, darling. Is there something bothering you?" "Huh? What makes you say that?" Twilight asked in surprise yet uneasy, "I'm fine." "Are you worried about Flash being your partner?" Sunset asked curiously and suspiciously. "Isn't that obvious?" Twilight asked in concern. Shadow Dragon scoffed a bit while crossed his arms, "It is. But come on, Twilight, aren't you a bit unfair to him. He's a good friend, you know. Plus, you haven't even started the science project, with him." "I know that, but I'm certain that he's not a science material like someone I know of," Twilight commented, making Shadow Dragon annoyed. "That's what bothering you?" Sunset asked amusingly before giggled, "Twilight, don't underestimate him, just because he's a rockstar. He and I were partners in most of science lab. And to be frankly, he's quite good at it." Rarity nodded in confirmation, "I agreed with Sunset. He scored mostly C's or B's for science. It is best of you not to judge him, Twilight. He's more to him than meets the eye." Twilight, still unconvinced and concern, said, "Somehow, I don't think I'm convinced by it." "Twilight, come on, try to work with him for once. You may never know. He could be the partner you could be looking for," Shadow Dragon insisted playfully. He cleared his throat a bit, "I mean science partner, not lover." "Hmm... Let me think about it," Twilight said thoughtfully before scoffed, "Not a chance." Shadow Dragon, Sunset and Rarity groaned a bit about Twilight refused to work with Flash. She really needs to work with someone, who is not necessary to be a scientist or smartest student. Flash has arrived at the scene. "Hey guys," Flash greeted happily. Everyone greeted back to him. He nudged Twilight from her back, "Hey, partner, ready to start science project? I'm pump for it. So what kind of project we'd be working on?" "Uh, I haven't thought of it yet," Twilight said uneasily and nervously. Just before Flash could suggest, she cleared her throat, "Oh! Look at the time! I'd better get going! I'll let you know when I have the idea of what kind of science project we'd be doing. See ya!" Twilight headed off at once, confusing Flash. Shadow Dragon, Sunset and Rarity groaned in annoyance by Twilight's stubbornness. "Was something I've said?" Flash asked in confusion. Almost four days have passed, Twilight did her best to avoid and evade Flash, to make sure that he doesn't mess up with her project or even wanted to hurt his feelings as well. Shadow Dragon, Sunset and Rarity tried their best to encourage her to talk and work with him, instead of ignoring him. Twilight continued ignoring their advice as she has gotten herself into more problems as she struggled of finding and getting the right project to do but some students have already working on it or the experiment proved to be difficult for her to handle. She's really in pickle as she can't find the project to do. Inside her house's basement or also known as her laboratory, Twilight was looking through some books, finding and thinking some ideas of what project she can do, without getting Flash involved. She groaned in frustration as she couldn't think of anything or even find from her computer. Twilight hummed thoughtfully, "There must be something challenging and interesting for me to try and show the world that I can achieve it. But what?" She then looked through the computer's screen, searching for project. She gasped in surprise, "Time-Space Machine? That's a great idea! Just imagine if I built that machine to travel through time, and I even get to see what kind of future or maybe get to know the full history too!" "Don't you think that's a bit dangerous?" Flash's voice asked curiously and concern, shocking startling Twilight. She yelped in concern as she turned and found worried Flash. He chuckled uneasily, "Sorry. Your mom let me in when I told her that we're science partner. Guess I should have tell you that." "Oh. I see." Twilight said uneasily and nervously as she pushed Flash out, "Listen, I haven't think of the idea yet. So, why don't you go home and start playing guitar until I find the right project for me-! I mean us to do!" Annoyed by her constant lying and pushing him away, Flash groaned as he quickly slammed his right foot down, "Oh no! You're not pushing me away from our science project just because you think of me being a rockstar with no brain for four days!" Surprised by Flash's deducing her deception, Twilight stopped and looked at him in shock, "Y-You knew?" While crossed his arms, Flash turned and glared at Twilight, "Yes, I knew, Twilight. I am angry of how you treated your own science partner when we're supposed to work together." Feeling shame for her treatment, Twilight sighed, "You're right, Flash. I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have avoided and make excuses from working with you. I thought you're just a guy, who loved playing rock and roll music, and not very... Very..." "Bright?" Flash asked suspiciously, making Twilight uneasy and guilty. He sighed, "Twilight, I maybe a rockstar guy, but I'm not stupid. Plus, science and math are my thing too when I was a kid. So, I expect both of us to work together on our project. Okay?" "Okay, Flash. I'll make it up for this inconvenience treatment." "That'd better be. As for time-space machine, I think it's bad idea because if anyone learn and may accidentally mess up with past and future, it could spell disaster and mess it up." "Hmm... I hate to admit it. That's a good explanation. Learn from the movies?" "That. And also, I read a novel about time machine too." "So, what kind of project we can do? I mean I don't want us to do just some simple minded project. No offense." "I don't mind doing challenging, but safety is important too, you know. You can never tell what kind of danger you may get yourself into." "That's a very good explanation too. So, what is the safest project we can do? At least, something challenging for us to do?" Flash hummed thoughtfully as he leaned against the desk while his right hand extended to stand on it. Unfortunately, his hand slipped and tripped the apple down hard. Both him and Twilight looked at the apple fall on the ground hard. They both looked at each other. "You're thinking what I'm thinking?" Twilight asked curiously. "Gravity Project?" Flash asked curiously. Twilight nodded, "Exactly. Wow. You're good at this." "Nah. I scored at least C's and B's," Flash commented calmly. With their project chosen, both Twilight and Flash began working on it, building and inventing a machine that could generate and control the gravity. Unlike before, both of them are studying and working together on how to make the machine work, as well as testing some trials on it. Other than working on their science project, both Twilight and Flash often hang out with their friends and chatted happily of other interests such as books, movies and their relationship with their lovers. After a week passed, most of the students have worked and completed their science project. They brought their projects to school for Dr. Whooves to inspect and graded them. He hummed thoughtfully while inspecting and analyzing the projects. Most of them were impressive while others weren't. Dr. Whooves checked on both Sunset-Shadow Dragon's Science Project, which revealed to be a soda volcano, which sprouted out some soad. He hummed amusingly, "Impressive. A simple but effective classic project. Brings me back of my old memories." Approached both Rarity and Derpy, Dr. Whooves checked on their project - a solar system. He hummed calmly, "Well done. Good to see someone have time to make a solar system." He then noticed a muffin near to Earth, "Though I am not certain of why there is a muffin near to our planet?" "She insisted," Rarity pointed at Derpy, "She's very persuasive with muffin." Derpy smiled, "I loved muffin." She then showed muffin to Dr. Whooves, "Want muffin?" Dr. Whooves chuckled uneasily as he took a muffin for him to eat it. He then approached and checked on Twilight and Flash's science project, which revealed to be a weighing machine with buttons and lever, and has fruits on top its platform. "That's interesting," Dr. Whooves said curiously, "So, what is this?" Twilight and Flash looked at each other as they smiled warmly and confidently. Both of them pulled the lever down, causing the weighing machine to shake and levitating couple of fuits in midair. This shocked and surprised everyone else. "Spectacular! Artificial Gravity Project! Now, this is indeed science!" Dr. Whooves exclaimed happily as he wrote down on his pad, "A Plus for effort! Well done!" Twilight and Flash gave each other a high-five. Everyone cheered and gave the applause to them making the best science project. Sunset gave a wink to Twilight, "Told you that he's good." Twilight nodded, "Agreed." She turned and looked at Flash, "Thanks for helping me out, Flash. And very sorry for judging you harshly." Flash smiled warmly as he patted Twilight's shoulder, "No worries. Try not to judge people until you get to know more about him. Plus, we're friends." "Yeah. Lesson learned. Think you can help me something?" Twilight asked, making Flash turned and looked at her. She asked, "Think you can teach me about playing guitar?" Flash chuckled, "Sure, no problem, partner." Sunset whistled, "Looks like Twilight's hooking up with Flash. Just hope they became the thing." Shadow Dragon rolled his eyes in annoyance, "Very funny, Sunset. Very funny..." END... Review and Suggest...

You've been selected for the mission." Shorty's voice reported through the com-link, "And here's the oddest thing, the geode is somewhere in some kind of pear farm, owned by someone called 'Grand Pear'. Possibly, the owner of the farm. Hopefully, he's quite cooperative to handover the geode to you." "Got it. Thanks for the tip, Shorty," Saber said calmly and firmly to his com-link on his right ear as he and Applejack have exited out of the airport. Shorty's voice sighed, "You know it would be easy if you can use the gunship to get there." "And get some unwanted attention, professor? Don't think so. Maul or the Dark Terrorists are out there, waiting to strike and take over this world, you know." "Reports confirmed that he and Demon Generals are still at war with each other. Probably hating each other's guts for being better successor to Dark Curse. I highly doubt that they would be aware of the situation, you know." "You know what they say, Shorty. You can never know," Saber said calmly. "True, I suppose. I hope you're not going alone on this mission," Shorty's voice said firmly yet concern, "You're gonna need some help for this one." "Already have one. Don't worry, I go this." Saber said calmly while patted Applejack's shoulder. Turning off his com-link, he turned to Applejack, "Thanks for following me, AJ." Applejack nodded a bit, "Sure, no problem. I'm kinda surprise that you pick me, not Sunset or Twilight. I mean they're the expert on the magic, not me." Saber smiled calmly, "True. But you are magical expert too, you know. Plus. I do need someone to help me get some talk with Grand Pear." Applejack hummed in concern, "I'm not sure that I'm the right girl for this job, partner. What makes you think of that?" "One thing I know about him, he's related to you," Saber said calmly and confidently, "Or should I say, your maternal grandfather?" Applejack gasped, "Huh?! H-How did-! What?!" The taxi arrived at the airport's entrance. Both Saber and Applejack boarded inside the car. It drove off at once, per his instruction to Pear Farm now. They both continued their discussion. "How did you know about Grand Pear being my grandfather?" Applejack asked in surprise, "I mean the only person who knows about this is mine, Rarity, Twilight and her family." Saber smiled amusingly, "I'm a detective. Remember, Applejack?" Applejack blushed a bit in embarrassment. He continued, "Since he's your grandfather, I thought it would be great for you to talk with him and let us find the geode." Applejack hummed in concern with sad looks, "If only that is easy." "Huh? What's up?" "Truthfully, I'd never meet or see him before in my life. In fact, Granny Smith told me that Grand Pear got mad and disown my mom when she got married to my pops. And it's very hurtful to talk about it for both my ma and Granny Smith. So, I didn't want to ask more or even suggesting about visiting Grand Pear." "I see. I forgot that one. Apples and Pears were rivals and competitors over whose fruit the best in fruit competition. They'd be mad to find out about one of them married to another. Can't imagine of that one." "You have no idea. I don't think that it might not work if Grand Pear sees me or even I mention me being his granddaughter to him." "True. But if Shorty's detector confirmed that location, we need to get that geode. We both know how dangerous it can be in someone's hands. I hated to imagine if it's on your grandfather's." "I know what you mean. So, what is the plan?" Applejack asked in concern. Saber hummed calmly, "Well, the only thing we can do is to tell him that we're some kind of contractor or apprentice wanted to learn more about the fruit." "You mean lie to him?" Applejack asked in disbelief. She groaned a bit, "T-That's not right. I can't do that especially not to my grandfather." "I know, Applejack. But we need to get the geode before someone could get hurt," Saber said firmly and calmly, "So, we have to lie and twist the words for us to get inside. I doubt that he'd be able to figure out of who you are. Remember, you'd never see him before, so I believed that he doesn't know you." "I don't know..." Applejack said in concern and uncertainty. Saber patted Applejack's back, "Hey, come on, AJ. One little white lie wouldn't hurt him. Right?" Still not unconvinced and disliked the idea, Applejack sighed reluctantly, "Fine. As long we don't get him involved of anything especially magic, he hasn't seen what's been happening at Canterlot Town." Saber winked at Applejack, "No worry, kiddo. It'll be fine. Count on it." After three hours of driving, the taxi has arrived at the Pear Farm. Both Saber and Applejack got out from the taxi before paying the driver. They both turned and looked at the hallway of pear field. Both of them were surprised and impressed by how beautiful and healthy the trees are. As they both continued walking and passing by the field, they come across and greeted couple of Pear Family members. Saber smiled and greeted warmly and calmly to them. To Applejack, she felt awkward and uneasy to wave at them due to her first time to come and visit her maternal family. Eventually, Applejack and Saber have arrived at the well-decorated traditional farm house. They found an old man in light amber colored with white and light gray hair with grayish gamboge highlights in his 70' worn a patterned shirt with collar, greenish scarf around his neck and blue jean was sitting on his rocking chair. He was playing his guitar while humming calmly and softly. To Applejack's shock and surprise, she recognize the melody well. This almost brought tears to her eyes. After playing the music, the old man opened his eyes and noticed the visitor standing before him. He yelped in surprise, "Oh! Hello there! Sorry, didn't see you there." "It's okay, sir. We didn't want to bother you when you're playing the music," Saber apologized calmly and firmly. The old man chuckled a bit, "Much obliged, young man. That song belongs to my sweet little girl - Pear Butter. She was one of the best kids I could ask for..." His remark shocked and surprised Applejack. He cleared his throat as he approached while raising his hand to Saber and Applejack, "Where are my manners, silly old me? My name is Grand Pear, owner and landlord of this land. And you are?" "Saber." Saber greeted back while shaking Grand Pear's. He turned and looked at Applejack while looking and speaking nervously and awkwardly, "And this is, uh, my girlfriend - Buttercup." "Huh? What?!" Applejack asked in shock. Saber cleared his throat a bit. She yelped before blushed nervously yet awkwardly. She cleared her throat as she shook her estrange grandfather's hand, "Sorry. Yeah, I'm Buttercup - Saber's girlfriend." Grand Pear chuckled a bit, "Don't be nervous, missy, I'm just a harmless nice old man. Buttercup, huh? I've heard that name from somewhere before." Applejack looked uneasy and worried and before she could speak. Saber spoke up, "I'm pretty sure that lots of people like to use that name." "True enough," Grand Pear said calmly, "So, what can I do for you both?" Applejack was nervous to speak, "Well, I-!" Saber spoke up, "We were hoping that you could help us something." "Really? What can I do for you?" Grand Pear asked calmly and humbly, "I'm happy to help you out." Saber smiled, "That'd be great. We're here for documenting about you and your Pear Farm. We were told that your fruit are the best in the world, better than the Apples." Grand Pear scoffed a bit, "That is not true, young man. Truthfully, I believed that Apples are almost same as the Pears." "Really?" Applejack said in surprise. "Yes. Sadly, I regret that I'd never get that chance because of my pride and selfishness," Grand Pear said regretfully. He sighed, "I don't think I'd like to talk about that. It's unbearable of what happen from that time." Applejack looked guilty and shame to say, "I... I'm sorry to hear that, Grand Pear." "Well then, I'd be happy to help you with documents about Pear Family," Grand Pear said happily and warmly, "How about we start with the history? And then, we can start with how to grow and take care of good healthy pear especially using them for bakery and drinks. And of course, I'd be happy to share you with my secret. It would be great." "Uh, sure..." Applejack said uneasily yet touched, "Thanks." Grand Pear got up as he approached and entered his house. Both Saber and Applejack followed him from behind. "If we can tried to smooth with him, he might lead us to the geode," Saber said calmly. Applejack looked uneasy and worried, "This feels wrong. Saber, I don't like lying to him especially taking advantage of him, just to get the geode." "I know, AJ, but if we just leave him to Grand Pear, there's no telling what kind of harm he might put himself and his family into." Saber said seriously, "We have to get it before it's too late." Still hated lying, Applejack sighed in defeat, "Alright, let's do this." Saber and Applejack followed after Grand Pear as he introduced his Pear Family's Foundation and History behind the pears. He even showed his family photos especially having Pear Butter when she was a kid till college students. Looking at pictures especially the one with Grand Pear and Pear Butter smiling over the birthday cake shocked and surprised yet brought tears to Applejack. Eventually, Grand Pear showed and taught Saber and Applejack about how he and his family watered and grew the pear trees. He even shown them about how they cooked and baked with the pears. He even let them trying and eating them a lot. He also showed them of what his family do other than just dealing with pears such as having picnic, family outing, riding horses, playing music and so on. And at the same time, he even talked about how he and Pear Butter enjoyed it. Every time Grand Pear talked about him and Pear Butter do, Applejack was touched yet sad by the story as she started to doubt she could lie to him anymore. Grand Pear decided to take Saber and Applejack to a tree house in the middle of the field. He claimed that he has a something to show to them. They finally get to see and get the geode. While Saber is getting excited yet calm, Applejack is uneasy and worried about it. During their walk, they both have their secret chats. "Saber, I don't think I could keep up with this," Applejack said in concern. Saber shushed at Applejack, "Hang in there, AJ. We're almost there. Once we know where it is, then we get it out of here." "T-This is wrong. We can't just do this to him especially he's my grandfather." "I know but we have to get the geode before it could hurt or he could hurt others. We have to do this. After this, by morning, we get out of here." Applejack looked upset about it, "I guess so..." Upon arriving at the tree house, Grand Pear climbed up to the clubhouse as he was searching and looking for something. After finding it, he climbed down from the clubhouse. He then showed lighter greenish geode with wind symbol. This surprised Saber and Applejack. "Here it is. My precious stone," Grand Pear explained humbly. He sighed, "I found it from three days ago when something hit inside the clubhouse. I wasn't sure what it was but when I touch it, I saw her. I saw Pear Butter and her children and even the Apples standing besides me. I have been there with them for my whole life. It was a like dream, where I truly belong to. It was happy time." "Grand Pear..." Applejack said in surprise. Grand Pear sighed, "Truthfully, I didn't get the chance. I was so angry and selfish to understand and accept my daughter's decision to stay with the Apples. If only I could see her or the children, I want to tell how sorry I really was and really want to be there for them, If they could give me the chance." Saber sighed, "I'm sorry to hear this. Maybe that-!" "Enough." Applejack protested, shocking Saber but Grand Pear remained still. She sighed, "I can't do this anymore. Grand Pear... There's something I need to tell you. Something I should have told you the truth." "You're Applejack, right?" Grand Pear asked calmly, shocking Saber and Applejack. "Huh?! You knew?!" Saber and Applejack asked in shock. Grand Pear turned and looked at Applejack. He chuckled a bit, "Yes. The moment I saw your eyes, I already know that you're Applejack. You have your mother's eyes. And of course, I know one person use that 'Buttercup'. That was the nickname that your father gave to her." Applejack looked guilty and shame, "Grand Pear, I am really sorry. I shouldn't have lie to you. I should have told you the truth about who I really am and why we were here." "Please, don't blame her, Grand Pear. It was me. I make her to tell a lie to get the geode," Saber defended Applejack. "I don't blame you two for this. I mean, why would you want to talk to her estrange grandfather after he disown his own daughter. He was nothing but cruel and selfish man, who doesn't deserve happiness," Grand Pear said in guilty with tears. He sighed, "I don't deserve it." "You're wrong," Applejack protested, shocking Grand Pear. She continued, "Sure you were upset over mom's decision, but you only thought what is best for her because you didn't trust the Apples. But the Apples treat her well especially my pops really love her so much and takes care of her and us so much. In fact, my mother would be happy if you would, at least, come and visit us for once." "Do you mean that much?" Grand Pear asked. Saber smiled, "Trust us, Grand Pear. They would love having you around to be part of their family if you could visit them." Applejack held her hand out, "Please, Grandpa Grand Pear, I already know how much you missed and loved my mom. Now, I would like you to get to know more about me and family." After some thinking over Applejack's offer, Grand Pear sighed calmly as he took out the geode as he passed it to Saber, "Well, no point to keep dreaming about what could have been." He turned to Applejack, "You are right, Applejack. It is time that I stop feeling sorry for myself. I would like to get to know more about my grandchildren." Applejack couldn't help but smiled happily as she hugged Grand Pear, "Thank you, Grandpa." Grand Pear sighed, "No, thank you." "Hate to ruin this moment," Saber said in concern while pointed to the front, "Did you guys know about the twister?" Grand Pear and Applejack looked up ahead, where they found a large twister is heading towards him and his home. "Not again!" Grand Pear exclaimed in concern and fear. He continued, "I don't understand the weather report said that there shouldn't be twister in this area for three days. But why? Why now?" Suspicious when looking at the geode, Saber hummed, "I think I know. This geode may have been given you the dream you wanted but the side-effect for living in there is to destroy the present now, so that you can continue dreaming." "How can we stop it?" Applejack asked in concern. Holding tight on his geode, Saber sighed, "I hope I'm right. Take cover!" Applejack held her grandfather tight as they hide behind the stone. Saber Dragoon stood before the twister. He armed with his Twin Dragoon Sabers while placing the geode on his weapons. It glowed brightly, causing his weapons to glow as well. Saber took a deep breathe while positioned himself for the battle. As the twister was getting close to the Pear Farm, he gave the loud battle cry as he unleashed and launched powerful Wind Storm in dragon form. It charged and struck down the twister into nothingness. The clouds returned to normal in night time. This shocked and surprised Grand Pear and Applejack. "It work!" Applejack exclaimed happily. Grand Pear whistled, "That's some magic. Does this happen to you and your home a lot?" Applejack laughed a bit, "You have no idea." "That takes care of it," Saber said calmly as he sheathed his sabers. He turned to Grand Pear, "Sorry for the cause of problems and lies, Grand Pear. We never meant to bring troubles." "It's no problem. I'm glad that you stop this problem and bring my granddaughter to see me. I am happy," Grand Pear said calmly. He smirked, "Now be honest with me. Were you two really couples or just make it up? I can't tell of that but I do know that she likes you a lot, young man." Saber and Applejack blushed in red as they protested, "What?! No! This is mistaken! Just a lie! She's not my girlfriend! Come on! Saber's my friend only! We're just friends!" Grand Pear chuckled amusingly, "Well now, it's getting late. Would you like to join us for dinner?" Applejack smiled, We'd be happy, Grand Pear." Saber chuckled playfully, "Yeah. No kidding. We're so hungry." While they're laughing happily and warmly; Grand Pear, Saber and Applejack headed back to Pear Farm House for their dinner and also get to know each other as well. END... Review and Suggest...

They were all looking at the chart of fun they can do. "Okay, CMC, got any bright ideas of what we can do now?" Apple Bloom asked happily. "How about we try do the skateboarding?" Scootaloo suggested, "We can do that from the skateboard park. It'll be awesome and fun too!" "Uh, no, Scootaloo. We did that last week. And Uncle Kicker and Rainbow Dash weren't thrill to see us playing the skateboard without safety equipment," Jade protested, making her friends to sigh in annoyance. She gasped in realization, "Hey, how about we follow and try to get some pictures of what those teenagers doing especially the embarrassment photos?" "That's a terrible idea, Jade. Don't you remember the last time we did that? We cyberbully a lot of people and even Sunset because of our sisters didn't get to spend time with us, That wasn't very good of us." Sweetie Belle said in guilt tone, making the rest groaned shamefully. She sighed, "How about building some Mecha Armor Suits? I heard they're the best." "No way, Sweetie Belle, we can't go through that again. Last time, we tried to help Lance fix his Mecha Armor Suit, we sort of broke them a lot," Nyx said in disappointment, making everyone sighed in annoyance. She shrugged, "It doesn't look like we have some good ideas. Anything we tried, we make things worst." Apple Bloom sighed, "Yeah. Doing something fun is a lot harder than we thought. Our sisters and their friends got fun for being superheroes for whole time. Wish we could be like them." "Yeah... No kidding. I am so jealous. Worst..." Cutie Mark Crusaders commented dryly and disappointingly. The arrogant voice groaned angrily, "When I get the hands on you, you're gonna wish that you stay in the cage, panda!" The shouts shocked and surprised Cutie Mark Crusaders to take a peek outside of Sweet Apple Acre's fences. They found Tech was looking around of his surroundings. He was grunting and grumbling angrily and annoyingly about 'the panda'. He then headed to the north. This makes the Cutie Mark Crusaders intrigued and interesting of it. "You're thinking what I'm thinking?" Apple Bloom asked playfully. Most of Cutie Mark Crusaders nodded happily, Jade scoffed, "Pretty obvious, isn't it?" "CMC is on 'Rescue Panda'!" Cutie Mark Crusaders cheered wildly and happily. "One question," Sweetie Belle asked calmly, "How are we gonna find a panda?! I mean does anyone have ever see a panda before? I sure I hadn't." "It's just a bear. How difficult to find the little guy?" Scootaloo commented. "Uh, no. Panda is not really brown bear. It's a black-white big bear," Jade explained. Scootaloo looked at her. She sighed, "I came from Hong Kong, remember?" "Oh, right. Sorry," Scootaloo apologized. "Well, better hope that we don't get mix up with raccoon and red panda," Nyx commented dryly. "So, where do we start?" Apple Bloom asked. Heard some rustling noise, Nyx looked outside of the window as she found bushes was rustling, "There!" Cutie Mark Crusaders climbed down from the tree house. They approached to the bushes, where they moved it in two. They found a small panda cub, who was whining softly and fearfully. They all awed happily when looking at the panda. "Aw. That is so cute," Sweetie Belle commented as she picked a small panda cub up. She awed, "So, this is panda? She's not just cute. She's very cute!" "Look! Her name tag," Jade suggested as she read the collar tag, "It's in Chinese. Her name is 'Penny Ling'. Owner: Master Zhao Long? Where have I heard that name before?" Nyx hummed thoughtfully, "Me too..." "Well, if she has the owner, then we get her back to her owner," Apple Bloom said firmly, "Any idea where to find him or her?" Jade read before commented, "Wow. It's in the mall! Should be easy." "That's one thing I don't get. Why would those thugs want the panda?" Nyx asked in concern. Scootaloo shrugged, "No idea. But gotta move and find her owner before we get caught by them." "She's right. Let's move it," Apple Bloom said firmly. While Sweetie Belle was holding Penny Ling on her hands, Cutie Mark Crusaders came out from the backyard's door. To their shock and concerns, they found Dark Enforcers stood before them. "Well, hello there, I believe that is my panda," DJ Red said amusingly. "So, be good little kids, hand it over now," Shades said seriously. "Why do you want this panda? She's just a baby!" Sweetie Belle shouted angrily. "Like we ever tell you," Tech said sinisterly. "That's because that panda is a Kung Fu Master," Clumsy Rat answered, causing his colleague groaned in annoyance. He looked confuse to ask, "What?" "Really? This Panda can fight in Kung Fu Style?" Scootaloo asked in surprise, "You're kidding?" "No, we don't. Now hand it over or else." Black Tiger snarled as he positioned himself in fighting stance. He snarled, "Hungry wolf pounced on five little lambs, so he can take its fresh meat for-!" And just before anyone could do anything, Penny gave a loud roar as she jumped off from Sweetie Belle's hands. She gave some fierce thrust of punches and swift kicks at them, knocking them out at ease. She landed on Sweetie Belle's grip. The action shocked Cutie Mark Crusaders. "I did not see that coming," Jade commented in surprise. "Now we know why they want panda. Let's make the run for it!" Apple Bloom exclaimed in concern. She noticed Dark Enforcers groaned as they slowly recovered. She yelped, "RUN!" Cutie Mark Crusaders nodded in agreement. They all ran off at once. Noticed them running, Dark Enforcers gave chase after them at once. After barely escaping the Dark Enforcers, Cutie Mark Crusaders ran as fast as they can while holding tight on the panda cub. Arriving at the alley, they all then hid inside the trash compactor. Dark Enforcers have arrived at the scene. They found nothing. So, they split their forces up, leaving Clumsy Rat behind. Apple Bloom: Everybody loves Kung Fu Panda, She's one super cute and cuddly panda But she's really one tough fighting panda Cutie Mark Crusaders: (Tough fighting panda) While Clumsy was about to have a smoke, Penny Ling emerged and gave a powerful Karate Chop on his head, knocking him out. Cutie Mark Crusaders emerged out from the compactor. And unfortunately for them, Dark Enforcers have returned and chased after them. The little girls all ran off at once. Scootaloo: So, you don't wanna mess with her Cutie Mark Crusaders: (Don't mess with her) Cutie Mark Crusaders arrived and entered the toy shop. They searched and looked around of their surroundings, trying to find a place to hide. They eventually come across to the pyramids of stuffed animals. Sweetie Belle passionately held and hugged Penny Ling as she and her friends jumped into it for hiding. Sweetie Belle: She's the cutest animal I ever seen, I really wanna hug her! Spotting where they were heading, Dark Enforcers have arrived and entered the toy shop. They looked around of their surroundings, searching for them. Realizing where they were hiding, they charged and jumped into the pile of stuffed animals. Eventually, there was some fighting within there as Dark Enforcers got defeated and thrown off to the cupboards of toys. Cutie Mark Crusaders emerged out from the pile. They all cheered happily and wildly while giving each other a high-five. Even Penny Ling did the same thing. They all then ran off at once. Dark Enforcers recovered and chased after them at once. Jade: She's got some serious moves, I could learn some of them. Who knows? She could be my master. Nyx: We can't just let her do it alone Not only do we have to fight, But we have got to win. Cutie Mark Crusaders ran down to the park as they continued running away from Dark Enforcers, who are not far from behind of them. And so, they tried their best to hide from them. Sweetie Belle holding Penny Ling pretending to be statues spilling water out, Apple Bloom was pretending drawing on board, Scootaloo was cheering out loud for skateboarders, Nyx and Jade were playing see-saw. Cutie Mark Crusaders: Everybody loves Kung Fu Panda, She's one super cute and cuddly panda But she's really one tough fighting panda (Tough fighting panda) Unfortunately, Dark Enforcers managed to locate them. Black Tiger snarled and glared at Jade and Nyx on see-saw. DJ Red and Clumsy Rat surrounded Sweetie Belle and Penny Ling on the water fountain. Tech was about to ambush Scootaloo. Shades was standing besides Apple Bloom. Sensing her friends in danger, Penny Ling reacted by attacking them head on with her Kung Fu Style, defeating and knocking them out. They all then ran off at once. Cutie Mark Crusaders: So, you don't wanna mess with her (Don't mess with her) Managed to slip passed the thugs, Cutie Mark Crusaders have arrived at the cafe as they're taking a break from running. They were exhausted and tired. While drinking their drinks, Penny Ling performed some Kung Fu moves, which impressed and amazed them to like her move style. Eventually, her performance gotten the attention of people. Nyx: She's so natural, She's the Master of Kung Fu Jade: Maybe she learn from her owner! While everyone was cheering and applauding for Penny Ling's performance, Dark Enfoercers have arrived at the scene. They were about to capture the panda and Cutie Mark Crusaders. Luckily, the spectators blocked and shooed the thugs, giving Cutie Mark Crusaders and Penny Ling the chance to escape. Apple Bloom: Who knows how far it goes? Sweetie Belle: Gotta keep on moving and running, Scootaloo: Till we find and give her to owner Cutie Mark Crusaders: But, sometimes we've got to go Go on and be our own hero.

Most of them were badly damaged and in progress of repairing them. However, he looked tired yet frustrated and annoyed as he has yet completed his repairs on them since the Incident at Camp Everfree. Shorty screamed in frustration as he slammed his head against the computer's keyboard hard. Rarity and Asami, still chatting about the fashion shows and the mysterious 'Flanksy', have exited out from the lift. They both then found Shorty's head was on the keyboard, suspecting that he has failed on something again. They both approached and checked on him. "Shorty, are you alright?" Rarity asked in concern. "No. I'm not alright," Shorty exclaimed in frustration. He lifted his head up while looking at his computer screen, "After many weeks since Camp Everfree, I still haven't finish the repairs on our suits! It's much difficult and frustration to get them done." "Wouldn't be easy if you asked Ciel and Asami for help?" "I did. But unfortunately, the materials and chemical she listed down is very rare and expensive to find and buy. And even if I wanted her help now to find them, she got issues with her traumas. And also, Asami wasn't very good with robot and nano technology. No offense." "None taken," Asami commented calmly. She scoffed a bit, "But I'm not useless." "I see," Rarity said in surprise and concern, "Well, clearly that we need to find an expert, who can help us find these rare materials." Shorty sighed, "Yes, I agreed. These rare materials are Cybertronians, and the chemical are also very high volute and advance as well." "You know if you need Cybertronian's help, why not ask Cade for help," Asami suggested. Shorty hummed thoughtfully, "That's an excellent idea, Asami." He turned to the computer screen as he made the calling while typing the keyboard, "Better make sure that it wasn't traced to them by TRF." BEEP! The call responded with Cade's voice, "Hello?" "Mr. Yeager, I may need some help," Shorty said calmly and firmly. Following Cade's instruction; Shorty, Asami and Rarity used the Dragoon Armor Strike-I Gunship, flying and heading straight to Scrapyard, where he and the rest of Autobots were hiding away from Transformers Reaction Force. And at the same time, the gunship was in invisibility mode, preventing both their enemies and TRF spotting and locating them. Upon arriving at their location, Dragoon Armor Strike-I descended and landed on the ground. Shorty and his friends emerged out from the ship. They met up with Cade, Bumblebee and Hound; who were standing before them. Both sides greeted to each other warmly and calmly. "It's great to see you again," Cade greeted calmly, "Come on. Just follow us. We know an expert that can help you with repairs on Armor Guardians." Shorty smiled, "Good, Mr. Yeager. Lead the way." "Can I ask a question?" Rarity asked curiously. Everyone turned and looked at her. She bluntly asked, "Why would you choose scrapyard? It's filled with junks and mess. It's smelly as well." Cade smirked slyly, "Isn't it obvious? It's the least place that everyone suspected of." "He has the point," Asami agreed calmly, "Nobody cared about this place because it's junk and mess. And it would be waste of time for anyone to search for the Autobots. And of course, no one especially fashionista would like it either." Rarity groaned in annoyance, "Sorry I asked..." Shorty and his team followed Cade and his Autobot Friends as they were all headed straight to the expert, who can help them with finding the materials and chemical. Arriving to the end of corner, they found a large obese grayish blue colored Transformer with large and long beard, who mas muttering and checking on his items. "Hey, Daytrader!" Cade called out. Daytrader was alerted by the call. He continued, "You've got your first customer!" Excited and happy to hear 'customer', Daytrader squealed happily, "Alrighty! Finally it's happening! My own first customer for me to make business! I hope you folks like it because I've got the best of the best! You won't regret it!" Cade suspiciously and annoyingly glared at Daytrader, "You'd better be. Because if I find out Shorty got problem with materials, I'll have Hound to blow your joint!" Daytrader yelped in fear, "Easy with death threat! I'm not doing anything stupid! Honest!" Hound scoffed, "Something tells me otherwise..." Daytrader cleared his throat, "Anyhow, so what can I get for ya? Whatever material you need, I've got the best! Name them!" Shorty sighed calmly and firmly as he gave the long list for the Junkion to check out. He hummed calmly and proudly while reading the list, "Wow. That's some lots you've got there. There are some of them I've seen and got them, but others could be the problem and messy too." "So, you can get them?" Shorty asked hopefully. "Of course, I do," Daytrader nodded calmly and playfully while gesturing with making money, "But with the right price." Shorty and his friends sighed in annoyance. Cade groaned in annoyance while holding his wrench. Both Hound and Bumblebee, armed with their blasters, aiming at Daytrader, making the Junkion yelped in concern and fear. "Care to renegotiate again?" Hound asked in annoyance. Bumblebee nodded and radioed, "Trust me, bob! Don't piss us off." Daytrader cleared his throat, "I mean it's free and no warranty! They're very good and best for you to use. Count on it!" Shorty and Rarity smiled happily and in relief that they get the materials and chemical for Armor Guardians. Asami was suspicious and uncertain about the situation. After gathering enough materials and chemical, Shorty and his team returned to his secret laboratory. Both he and Rarity were working and repairing on the first Armor Guardian - Slingshot Archer. It took them almost three days to fit and welded the materials and parts together with their own Mecha Suit, and even inserting the chemical and firepower to the suits. Climbing down from the catwalk's ladder, Shorty and Rarity sighed in relief while taking a breathe from repairs. They turned and looked up, looking at the perfect sight of Slingshot Archer. "We did it. We finally repair it," Rarity said in relief. Shorty nodded, "Yes. We did." He approached to the computer panel, "Well, time for some testing. And hopefully, it's working well." As Shorty pushed some buttons on keyboards while moving the handlers, Slingshot Archer did not respond well. This shocked and confused him and Rarity. Continued pressing some buttons on the computer's keyboard, the monitor screen revealed 'malfunction' and 'warning' signs, shocked and annoyed him a lot. He grunted in frustration, trying again to type keyboard or even moving the handler. Nothing responds, causing him to scream in anger while slamming and wracking the keyboard hard. Rarity was alerted and worried as she quickly grabbed and held Shorty back from hitting the computer. And suddenly, Slingshot Archer's parts fell apart and dropped to the ground. They all looked shock and disbelief of what they just saw. "I can't believe it..." Rarity said in disbelief. Shorty groaned, "I needed that! How dumb can I be?!" "How could this have happen?" Rarity asked in concern. "Daytrader!" Asami's voice shouted. Rarity and Shorty turned and looked back, where they found her leading Cade, Hound and Bumblebee dragging and bringing Daytrader in. She continued, "I have the feeling that the materials he sold to us was nothing but cheap junks. So, I told Cade about wanting to check and get the right one." "WHAT?!" Shorty and Rarity asked angrily and annoyingly. Cade turned and glared at Daytrader, "I warned you, didn't I?" "Blast time!" Hound remarked as he armed himself with blaster, "Blasting on your head now!" Daytrader yelped, "Wait! I can fix it! Honest! I can do it!" Everyone was suspicious about letting Daytrader to repair the Armor Guardians. Nevertheless, they have to keep their eyes on him, making sure he doesn't have other tricks up to his sleeve or else. "I'm keeping an eye on you, junk bot," Shorty said dryly and angrily, "These are my family's invention." Daytrader chuckled uneasily and nervously, "By Primus's Sake..." Almost a week have passed; Daytrader brought more materials, chemicals and firepower to secret laboratory. He then helped Shorty, Rarity, Asami and Cade on welding and repairing the Armor Guardians. And at the same time, they're keeping their eyes on him, making sure that he doesn't trick them by swiping materials to cheap or even sabotaged them. Hound and Bumblebee, armed with their blasters, ready to attack him if he tried to trick them again. Week has passed, all nine Armor Guardians are fully repaired and restored inside the large containers. Shorty and his team sighed in relief as they're looking at the giant armored robotic suits before them. They were proud and happy for their success. "Would you look at that?" Hound commented happily, "Quite new and shiny." Bumblebee gave thumbs up, "Yup. The best one we ever built!" Shorty sighed, "No kidding. Finally. Months after months, we finally get the job done in time. The Armor Guardians are perfect and ready!" "They sure are," Rarity said in agreement. She turned and looked at Asami, "All thanks to you, Asami and our friends." Asami smiled, "Happy to help. I knew a conman when I see one. No one con us gets away with it." Cade nodded, "Happy to help." Daytrader grumbled, "No one appreciates my effort..." "So, how about we give it a test run?" Rarity asked curiously, "Just make sure that Armor Guardian doesn't faulty." Shocked and surprised by Rarity's suggestion, Shorty smiled, "Good idea. Let's check it out." Both Shorty and Rarity worn their pilot suit. They boarded and piloted Slingshot Archer as they've been launched to the sky, where they began their test run such as flying around in the sky, summoning the Diamond Barriers and even testing the targeting shots. They both cheered happily as their test field has proven to be success! END... Review & Suggest...

Fluttershy asked nervously and worriedly. She wasn't alone as Fluttershy was hiding behind Terrorcreep while looking and staring at the old and historical Bran Castle of Transylvania, Romania. The Bat Mutant was looking at his right handed gauntlet's screen, revealing of Shorty's face. Sunset and Laxtinct were there as well for accompanying them on the mission. Shorty sighed, "I am certain, Fluttershy. My scanner never lied. This is the place." "Great. Thanks for sending us to the Land of Monsters, Shorty!" Laxtinct complained angrily and annoyingly, "Seriously! Why can't you send us to Gamestation Store or maybe Amusement Park?! Would be perfectly safe?!" Annoyed by Laxtinct's complains, Shorty groaned, "Don't blame me! I don't decide when and where the geode is located! It happens by itself, okay?" Sunset nodded, "Shorty's right. If it's anything like what happen to Twilight and her friends, then it could be the same here." "And also, Transylvania is not a monster land, Lax," Shorty reminded Laxtinct firmly, "It's just a normal and peaceful historical land of Romania. Nothing to worry about." "Uh, hello! Didn't you watch the movie?" Laxtinct asked in annoyance, "This land was owned by Dracula! King of all monsters and vampire! No telling when he wakes up and strike us! Like now! Tonight!" "Don't be an idiot, Laxtinct! Dracula is just a fiction!" Terrorcreep snapped in anger and frustration. He sighed calmly before turned and looked at Shorty, "Anything else that I need to be aware of?" "Nothing much," Shorty answered calmly. He hummed as he looked through his computer screen, "But I do get some reports and rumors that Bran Castle was being haunted." "HA! I KNEW IT!" Laxtinct exclaimed in fear and shocked, "THIS PLACE IS HAUNTED! WE'RE DOOM!" Shorty sighed in annoyance, "As I was saying, the Bran Castle was rumored of being haunted because the monsters, appeared out of nowhere, scare and chase people out from the castle. They even hear some eerie and creepy voice from them, and keep saying 'You are not Worthy' repetitively. They believed the castle was cursed by Vlad III to get his revenge on the people for his defeat and death. Some think it's the work of Dark Terrorists." Sunset and her friends looked scared and worried. She gulped, "Okay. Now that is scary. Scarier than Timber Spruce's Gaea Everfree makeup story." "What do you think of it, Shorty?" Terrorcreep asked seriously. "Hmm... If you asked me, I'd say it was the prank," Shorty said firmly, "But you and I know one thing for sure." "The Elemental Geode of Thunder..." Sunset said seriously and firmly, "It must be defending itself against anyone else from finding and taking it." "That's one possible theory I could think of," Shorty said calmly. He sighed, "Either way, watch yourself out there. No doubt that geode won't go down without the fight." "After what happen from last two? No kidding," Sunset said in agreement and concern. Shorty nodded, "Good luck out there." After ending the transmission, Terrorcreep sighed calmly as he armed himself with his Dual Thunder Axe, preparing to move in. He was held by Fluttershy, who looked scared and worried. "You're not serious about going in?!" Fluttershy asked in concern. "I am..." Terrorcreep said firmly. "Dude! Didn't you hear what Shorty said?!" Laxtinct asked in disbelief and worried. Terrorcreep groaned while glared at Laxtinct, "Are you kidding me? Are you honestly that stupid?" "HEY?!" Laxtinct exclaimed, feeling offended. "Whether this is haunted or prank, we have to get the geode before it could hurt someone else," Sunset said seriously, "We can't risk it." "Finally! Someone with logic mind," Terrorcreep said firmly and relieved. He turned and found Fluttershy looked worry and scared. He sighed, "If it makes you feel better, you stay close to me while search for the geode." Fluttershy gasped in surprise as she hugged Terrorcreep, "Okay! Thank you for caring about me! I promised that I won't drag you down!" Terrorcreep sighed, "That's what worries me..." Laxtinct groaned, "This gotta be the bad idea..." Terrorcreep and his team marched into Bran Castle's entrance, beginning their search and hunt on Elemental Geode of Thunder. After entering the Bran Castle, Terrorcreep and his team were walking the hallway, filled with old portraits, old antiques, treasures and armored Romanian Knights. However, it was filled with darkness and with no lights at all. And also, there were no guards within during the nighttime. It was too quiet now. This has made them uneasy and worried. "I hate to say it but Laxtinct's right," Sunset shivered in fear and concern, "This is a bad idea." "Gee! You think?!" Laxtinct asked in annoyance. "I'm getting scared now," Fluttershy said fearfully while hiding behind Terrorcreep's back. Upon hearing the creaking sound, Laxtinct yelped in fear, "Maybe it's good time to get the heck out of here while we still can!" "No," Terrorcreep declined, shocking and scaring Laxtinct. He narrowed his firm eyes and declared, "We will not leave here until we find and get the Elemental Geode of Thunder. We can't let anyone else get it." Laxtinct groaned a bit, "Dude. I don't know if you're really brave or dumb enough for not being scared of this castle being haunted." Terrorcreep groaned, "When will you ever be quiet about 'haunted'? In fact, I don't recall about you being afraid when you faced off the monsters. Unless you bribed them..." Feeling insulted, Laxtinct exclaimed angrily and annoyingly, "Are you kidding me?! Why the heck would I wanna bribe those guys to lose to me?! They were gonna eat me alive! It freaks me out to fight them, you know?! And it was no joke, I tell ya!" "Right..." Terrorcreep remarked sarcastically. "Come on, Terrorcreep, be nice!" Fluttershy calmly scolded Terrorcreep, who was annoyed. She continued, "You shouldn't make fun of Laxtinct. He's your friend. And he really did his best to fight the monsters and save the day." Terrorcreep groaned, "Please don't lecture me about friendship, Fluttershy." "Okay, guys, enough with the fight," Sunset said firmly and calmly, "This place is getting on everyone's nerve now. So, why don't we make a quick search and get the Elemental Geode, and then we get out of here? How about it?" Laxtinct groaned in frustration, "Do we have to?" "Not like a choice, Laxtinct," Sunset said in concern, "If we just leave it alone, no telling what kind of damage it could cause to this place or people." Fluttershy shivered in concern, "I hate to imagine it..." "That is why we make haste before it's too late," Terrorcreep said firmly and seriously, "The last thing we need is someone freaks out and said-!" Laxtinct screamed, "MONSTER! Big Monster!" Terrorcreep groaned in annoyance, "Idiot. I was being sarcastic." "I'm serious! There's really a big monster behind you! It's her!" Laxtinct exclaimed and panicked in fear. Terrorcreep and his team turned and looked back as they found a familiar figure that Timber Spruce described from his camp story. They all looked shocked and scared of what they just saw. They couldn't believe it. "N-No way..." Sunset said in disbelief. Gaea Everfree gave a loud screech and roar at Terrorcreep and his friends. They all screamed and panicked in fear. They all make run for their lives. Laxtinct was the last one to run, unfortunately, he got his head grabbed and coiled up by the tighten weeds of Gaea Everfree. He struggled to break free while screamed for help. "You are not Worthy..." Terrorcreep, Fluttershy and Sunset made their escape to the library, where they were taking a deep breathe and resting from running. "Never thought we have to face the real 'Gaea Everfree," Sunset said in shock and concern. "I know. But I thought it's just a story," Fluttershy said in concern. She then noticed someone missing. She gasped, "Where's Laxtinct?" Sunset and Terrorcreep were shocked to find out that Laxtinct was missing. Vampire Mutant groaned in anger, "That idiot! He abandoned us!" "No. He wouldn't. He would never run away and leave us behind, unless..." Sunset disagreed while giving some thoughts about the event, "He was captured by Gaea Everfree!" "Oh no! We have to go back now," Fluttershy said in concern. "By the time we returned, he's already gone. The only way to save him is we find and end geode's power," Terrorcreep said seriously and firmly. He sighed, "One thing I don't understand. How? How can she be real? Timber Spruce said it's just a makeup character to protect his sister." "That's a good question. No myth or folklore has anything about her, unless..." Sunset said thoughtfully. After putting pieces together, she gasped, "Of course. I should have figure it out! The only reason why she's existed because she's what Laxtinct is afraid of! And she was created from-!" "You are not Worthy..." Suddenly, Sunset got herself gagged and grabbed by dark crimson claws, shocking and scaring Terrorcreep and Fluttershy. She screamed in shock yet agony and fear. They both looked up and found Demon Sunset appeared from the shadows. She laughed insanely and evilly as she dragged her screaming good counterpart into shadows. Terrorcreep and Fluttershy weren't able to save her. "Sunset! Noooooooooo!" Fluttershy screamed in concern, "No! No! No!" Scared and worried for his girlfriend's safety, Terrorcreep grabbed and held her up, "Fluttershy, we have to go! Now! No doubt that they'll be more to come!" Hated to leave her friend behind, Fluttershy reluctantly agreed and followed Terrorcreep. They both headed off to another area for safety. Terrorcreep and Fluttershy have arrived at the ballroom. They both panted heavily and calmly, trying to catch some breathe. While the Vampire Mutant remained calm and collective as he can, his girlfriend looked sad and scared over her friends being captured by strange monsters. "Not again... Not again... We've just left them..." Fluttershy cried in fear and shocked, "We've left them!" Terrorcreep sighed as he armed himself with his Dual Thunder Axes, "We have to keep moving. The sooner we get the geode, the sooner we'll find them." "Weren't you paying attention?! Didn't you see it?! We have to find them now before something bad happen to them!" "Fluttershy, we need to focus on the mission now!" "We can't just leave them!" "Fluttershy! Think about it! If we just go and find them now, who knows what kind of monster will come after us?!" Terrorcreep snapped angrily and firmly, "I will not risk your life for rescue mission! We will focus on this mission first! That's an order!" Fluttershy shook head angrily and protested, "No! Damn the order! I won't abandon them! I don't want to lose them! I don't want!" And just before the couple could continue their argument, the blackish swirl appeared on the ground of Fluttershy. It began dragging and pulling her down into the whole. She screamed in fear and agony, alerting Terrorcreep to pull and hold on her tight. He grunted as he struggled to hold a grip on her. Unfortunately for him, Terrorcreep can't get the grip on his girlfriend as Fluttershy got slipped and dropped into the black hole. Before he could dive, the black hole dispersed and disappeared at once. This shocked and scared him. "Noooooooooo!" Terrorcreep screamed in shock and sad, "Fluttershy!" While screaming in anger and sad, Terrorcreep dropped to the ground as he slammed his fists on the ground for few times. He even cursed out loud angrily over the loss of Fluttershy. He then heard some evil and sinister laughter. He then looked up, where he found a familiar pale vampire mutant with dark blond combed hair worn 18th century dark blue colored suit with black-reddish cape and golden bat symbol, worn red mask, black boots and black gloves. "Hello, son..." Myotis said amusingly. "You!" Terrorcreep snarled angrily and darkly as he armed himself with his axes, "I should have known it was you!" Terrorcreep screamed in anger as he charged and swung his axes at Myotis, who firmly and calmly dodge and evade the attacks for three to five times. And just before he could do anything, his father summoned Crimson Lightning in striking at him, giving ten strikes on his head and chest before knocked him off. He then summoned and launched his Shadowy Mist, blinding him even more, allowing him to give some punches on him before kicked him off. Terrorcreep grunted in pain as he struggled to get up. Unfortunately, couple of vampire bats attacked and taken some bites on him. He screamed in pain and agony. Myotis approached and stood before him. "What is the matter, boy? Afraid?" Myotismon asked amusingly. Terrorcreep grunted and groaned in pain, "I'm not afraid of you!" "Is that so? Why do I sense your heart rising? Could you be afraid of something? Or someone?" "I have nothing to lose! I'm not afraid of anything!" "Is that so?" Myotis asked amusingly while thinking calmly. He smiled, "Ah. Now I remember. I killed her. Ever since the death of your weak mother, you never want to have friends and love in your life eternally. You feared their death will be on your hands, not mine. But she came." "You leave her out of this!" Terrorcreep snapped angrily. Myotis chuckled, "But unfortunately, she got involved. And look what has happen to her? You failed and let her died. You feared her death, don't you?" Angered by his mockery and desired to kill him, Terrorcreep snarled for the moment. And at the same time, he gave some thoughts of what his father has said. He cannot deny it. "You're right, father. I do have fear. Fear of being close to friends and love, and to lose theme again. I'd never wanted that to happen again. But she came." Terrorcreep admitted in defeat. He gave his serious and firm looks while slowly standing up from the ground, "She's not like any human else. She never see or treat me like a monster, instead she sees me a person. She befriend me. She helped me. She cared me. She loved me, as I loved her." Terrorcreep glared at Myotis, causing the bats stopped attacking and biting him. He narrowed his eyes firmly, "I do anything to protect and save her, no matter the cost. Grizzly Wings!" As commanded, Terrorcreep turned all of his vampire bats at Myotis, who looked shocked and scared of what he. They all flew and attacked him, biting and devouring him into nothingness. The moment the bats dispersed, it revealed the dark cyan colored geode on the ground. The vampire mutant approached towards it. He lowered down as he was about to grab it. Instead, it shined and blinded him as everything dispersed in bright white light. "You are Worthy..." "Terrorcreep! Wake up!" Terrorcreep groaned in pain, slowly opening his eyes and waking up from his unconsciousness. He found Fluttershy, Sunset and Laxtinct were with him. He was shocked and surprised to see them here and alive. And just before they could do anything, he gave them a warm hug, surprised them all. He then departed from hugging them. "I thought you were killed," Terrorcreep said in shock. "So did I," Fluttershy agreed in surprise. "I might have theory," Sunset said calmly, "The geode is responsible of making what our nightmares come true and scare us away from this place to protect itself from being taken and used until the rightful owner come." "The hell?! You're kidding me!" Laxtinct asked in disbelief, "That geode is crazy! It knows I hate that stupid camp!" "Well, I'm glad that's over. Thank to Terrorcreep's courage, he overcome and taken charge of that geode. The last thing I want is thinking a nightmare of being stage fright..." Fluttershy commented in concern. Terrrocreep held Fluttershy close to him, "As long you have me, Fluttershy, there's nothing for you to fear..." Touched and relieved by his comments, Fluttershy gave Terrorcreep a warm and passionate kiss. He returned it to her as well. Sunset smiled warmly while Laxtinct was groaning and moaning in frustration over scary monsters. END... Review and Suggest...

They were meeting up with Tigress - older sister of Aqua, and also Riverstrike - a friend of the family. Aqua and her team met up with Tigress and Riverstrike at the airport's entrance. The sisters cheered and hugged each other happily and wildly. "It's so good to see you again, Aqua! How have you been?!" Tigress asked happily. Aqua giggled, "Well, been better. No more stress now." Tigress sighed while patted on Aqua's back, "Good to hear. The last thing I need is my sister almost losing her life during 'saving the day' career." "Don't worry, sis. I'll be fine," Aqua said confidently, "Either way, I didn't just come here for family visits, you know." Tigress nodded seriously and firmly, "I know. And what you're looking for is definitely here." "Indeed. However, the situation of dealing with Elemental Geode is much dire and serious," Riverstrike said in concern yet calmly, causing uneasy to Aqua ad her team. She asked 'how serious'. He answered, "You have to follow us and see it for yourself. You will not like it." Aqua and her team looked worry and uneasy yet serious. They knew how dangerous the magical geode can be. They have to find and get it before it's too late. Aqua and her team followed Tigress and Riverstrike. They all climbed and boarded on the limo's middle seats. The driver drove the car off. They're heading straight to the Elemental Geode's destination. Rainbow sighed while sniffing the air, "Hawaii... Good to go the place of sports and paradise. Man, I love vacation and away from torture." "You mean 'studies'," Shadow Dragon asked amusingly. He sighed, "You'd do anything to get away from studies." "Oh yeah?" Rainbow asked amusingly with a scoff, "Says to the guy who wanted to take a break from boring astronomy studies." "Give me a break, Dash. That study is boring. I mean seriously worse than dealing with physics and chemistry." "Uh-huh. Keep telling yourself." "So, what do you know about the Elemental Geode? What happen?" Aqua asked seriously. Riverstrike sighed, "Since two nights ago we receive word from you, I've sent the best men to find and locate the Elemental Geode. Scarblade and Hammerrod have found it at the western shore. When they tried to take it, the geode responded by unleashing powerful tidal wave in knocking them off. The last thing they've seen is that the geode flew to further to the western sea. Anyone tried to follow and take that geode, it will unleash non-stop tsunami wave. Those waves almost hit the bay and city, but instead thrown our ships back here." Aqua and her team were in shock and concern. Tigress nodded, "Yeah. It's protecting itself until the right owner come for it." "Sounds like my job," Aqua said firmly. "Still how do we get the geode?" Shadow Dragon asked in concern, "You did say that geode will use the tidal wave in pushing anyone back from getting it." "True. But there is a way," Riverstrike added calmly, "But it is risky but it is the only plan to get it, without putting our units in danger." "What would that be?" Scootaloo asked curiously. "Surfing..." Riverstrike said uneasily. Aqua and her team looked shock and disbelief. Rainbow asked, "Seriously? You're kidding me, right?" "No, he's not," Tigress said firmly. She the grunted in pain while rubbing her ankle, "And truthfully, I tried to surf and get it but got my ankle hurt." "Tigress, you shouldn't have done that," Aqua said in disbelief and upset, "I told you that dealing with magic is dangerous. You shouldn't have gotten involve with this." Tigress sighed in annoyance, "I know. But come on, it wouldn't hurt to let your big sister join the fun and help out. And who knows? I might be the one to do it." "Please, don't do that again. Okay?" Aqua said in annoyance. Tigress groaned, "Fine. I won't. Sister's promise." Looking outside of the window, Riverstrike has narrowed his serious and concern eyes, "We're here." The limo halted for reaching their destination. Aqua and her friends emerged out from the limo. They're now at the harbor, where thousands and more ships have parked. And at the same time, they were looking ahead, where they found a bluish colored beam lighted in the middle of ocean while causing some minor waves across the world. This shocked and scared them. Rainbow nodded, "So, you want us to surf there to get a geode?" Scootaloo hissed, "That sounds dangerous." "You've got a better idea?" Riverstrike asked in annoyance. After some thinking, Aqua and her team shrugged as they have no idea. He sighed, "Thought so. And no, we've tried to use the plane. Surprisingly, the geode unleashed the water tornado on us." Shadow Dragon sighed, "Guess we do the surfing. Anyone knows how to surf? Coz I'm suck." Aqua smirked, "Don't worry. Rainbow, Riverstrike and I will handle it. After all, I was the best in surfing." Aqua and her team including Tigress and Riverstrike have boarded speedboat. They all sailed off to coast, heading straight to the lighted beam in middle of the ocean. Upon arriving to their destination, the speedboat halted at once. They're now facing at the walls of large waves, which are protecting the geode within. Aqua and her friends worn the swimsuits and swimming trunks. Aqua worn blackish surfing swimsuit with shorts. Rainbow worn a blackish shirt-like swimsuit that has rainbow in lightning shape and pinkish shorts with black stripes. Scootaloo worn an orange swimsuit. Shadow Dragon worn a crimson swimming trunks only. Tigress worn blackish swimsuit with reddish-greenish stripes. Riverstrike worn a white singlet and a brownish pants. "You sure that surfing is the answer?" Shadow Dragon asked in concern. "What's the matter? You scared?" Rainbow asked amusingly. Shadow Dragon groaned, "Who isn't?! I mean, look at the walls! Whoever dare to surf or go inside, the waves will drown them down before they could reach it. There must be another way to get inside." Riverstrike sighed, "As I have said before, there is none. Surfing is the only way to get inside." "If my ankle hadn't sprained, I would have join you guys," Tigress said in disappointment and frustration. She sighed as she looked at her sister and Rainbow Dash, "Well, all I can say is that we wish you all luck." Aqua nodded a bit, "Yeah. I could use all the luck I need. You ready, Dash?" Rainbow scoffed as she placed a cap on her head, "I'm so on!" "Me too! I wanna join!" Scootaloo cheered as she prepared her surfing board, but was halted by Shadow Dragon. She groaned, "Hey! What's your big idea?!" "Too dangerous, Scootaloo! This is not a game!" Shadow Dragon scolded Scootaloo. Aqua sighed, "He's right, Scootaloo. Best that you stay out of this." Scootaloo was in shock and displeased to protest, "But-!" "Sorry Scoots, this is for your own good," Rainbow interrupted while patted Scootaloo's head. She smiled, "Tell you what, kid. If any of us got wiped out, I need you and SD save our butts. Can you do that?" After thinking of what Rainbow has suggested, Scootaloo nodded happily. She turned and approached Aqua and Riverstrike. Both of them held their own surfing board of tiger and Hawaiian Mask. She picked up her own magenta colored with rainbow in lightning shaped. She smirked amusingly and proudly. "Ready?" Aqua asked happily. Rainbow smirked, "I am burning, coach! Bring them on!" "Remember. Be weary of the tidal wave. The geode will do everything to protect itself from being harmed," Riverstrike said firmly and calmly, "Be careful." Aqua nodded, "Got it. Let's do this. Surf's up, people! We're going in!" As commanded; Aqua, Rainbow and Riverstrike jumped off the speedboat. While boarded on their own surfing boards, they all swam towards the wall of tidal wave. The tidal wall's waves formed and launched small first wave at them. Taking a deep breathe, they dived down to evade the first wave. As they emerged out, they found second tidal wave formed slowly into large one. Aqua and her team quickly turned to the front. They began peddling as hard and fast as they can. The wave slowly lifted them up. This alerted them to quickly yet firmly to stand up while balancing themselves on the riding and flowing wave. Though they can feel the wave were very rough, they were able to balance themselves while surfing in zigzag formation towards the end of the wave. However, it did not end there. Aqua and her team continued surfing and overcoming two to three more big and bigger wave as they're getting closer to the wall. They often performed funny and cool pose when they surf over the wave before landed on the wave again. They have arrived at the wall of tidal wave, which began roughing wildly on them, and it about to swallow them up. They make the fast pace by surfing through the wall of rough waves. Though the waves have proven to be rough and wild, Aqua and her team did their best to remain calm and balance while surfing in straight formation through the swallowing wave. Both Aqua and Rainbow reached to the end, but Riverstrike didn't as the wave has swallowed him up. As soon as he emerged from the ocean, he was rescued by Tigress and her team. Encountering another large wave, Aqua and Rainbow dived down into the wave. As it was carrying them, they slowly emerged out from the ocean. They balanced themselves while surfing in zigzag formation through the swallowing ocean again. As they reached to the end of wave, they surfed towards to its top. They swooped up high to perform their style. Aqua performed by holding and lifting her surfboard over the wave. Rainbow perform swirling and hovering five times. As they landed on the largest wave, Rainbow tripped and fell into the ocean while screaming in agony. Aqua gasped, "RAINBOW! Nooooooooo!" Quickly getting out of ocean, Rainbow gasped for air while coughing out. She looked up to her coach. She waved her cap at her, "Don't worry about me! Get the geode! Hurry!" Though worry for her apprentice and student, Aqua knew that Rainbow was right. She has to get the geode as soon as possible. She continued surfing zigzag and straight formation in fast pace, avoiding falling into the ocean or getting swallowed up. The speedboat arrived towards Rainbow. Shadow Dragon and Riverstrike helped her get out. Tigress and Scootaloo checked on her injury while Riverstrike placed the tower around her. So far, she was alright and did not get injured herself. "Looks like it's up to Aqua," Shadow Dragon said in concern, "Think she can handle it?" Rainbow sighed, "Better hope she does. Or else, we'd be next to get swallow up!" While skilled in surfing, Aqua struggled to handle with the roughing and wild tidal waves as they're rushing up and trying to swallow her up or knocked her out. She almost got herself tripped when accidentally hit on left side of surfboard. She managed to balance herself. She then charged and surf straight to the tidal wave's swallowing. As the wave was getting close to her, she made a swift and quick zigzag formation. Upon reaching to the end of the wave, she surfed and flew off the wall of tidal wave. Spotting the floating geode in the middle of walls of tidal wave, Aqua then dived straight towards it. Upon grabbing it, she dived into the ocean. It then exploded in cyan colored lights, causing the wall of tidal wave down hard. The sky returned to normal. This shocked and alerted her friends. They all shouted and called out of her name. Emerged out from the ocean, Aqua gasped for air before looking at her palm. She has the Elemental Geode of Water in her palm. She sighed in relief. She then waved to the speedboat, which it was approaching towards her. They then helped her get off the ocean. Riverstrike checked on her while Tigress cover her sister with the blanket. "So, did you get it?" Scootaloo asked hopefully. Aqua smiled as she shown her palm with the geode, "Mission accomplished!" All of her friends cheered wildly and happily for Aqua's success. Tigress gave her younger sister a comfort and warm hug. "That's my sister! The best surfer in the Tiger Family," Tigress commented proudly. Rainbow smirked, "Not only that. She's the best coach." Aqua smirked as she grabbed and gave Rainbow a noogie on her head, "I couldn't agree more, kiddo!" Aqua continued giving a noogie and messing up her hair, causing Rainbow struggled and screamed happily and wildly for help. Everyone else laughed at the scene. They have successfully retrieved the Elemental Geode of Water. END... Review and Suggest...

Shorty was chosen as well on the same day. Using and following his Magical Detector, he was heading straight to Principal Celestia's mansion, where he found her and Twilight were talking near to the garden. He approached to them. "Oh. Shorty, good to see you here. Have you come to assist Twilight with gardening?" Principal Celestia asked in surprise. "Well, not exactly," Shorty admitted in concern. He showed his Magical Detector, "In fact, I was sent here to find the geode." "Geode? The same magical jewelry that caused Camp Everfree?" Principal Celestia asked in concern. Shorty cringed in concern, "Yeah. That would be it. My detector believed it's somewhere around here. The sooner I get it, the better to avoid damages." "I see. That's thoughtful of you," Principal Celestia said calmly, "Though you wouldn't mind helping Twilight to take care of the garden while you're looking for geode." Shorty hummed thoughtfully, "To be frankly, I haven't thought of that. But I wouldn't mind." "Thank you, Shorty," Principal Celestia thanked Shorty humbly. She turned and looked at Twilight, "And I should thank you for looking after my garden while I'm away on vacation, Twilight. I really appreciate it." Twilight smiled happily while showing off her watering can, "Don't worry, Principal Celestia. I will make sure that your garden will be perfect shape and scenery." Principal Celestia giggled a bit, "I'm sure you do. Now, I must go and pack up my stuffs for my vacation." Principal Celestia handed over her garden keys to Twilight. She then headed off to her mansion for packing her clothes for vacation. Shorty approached to Twilight as she said, "I wasn't expecting you to be here, Twilight. I didn't think you have interest in gardening." "By next week, my class will be learning about botany. So, I thought this will be the perfect chance to expand my knowledge!" Twilight explained happily, "I'm so excited! I even brought my own watering can!" "Of course, you do. But you do realize that Principal Celestia has the gardening tools, right?" "Yeah, well, I'd prefer to try with mine first before using others. The last thing I need is making a mess or breaking stuffs." "So, true. Glad someone understands how I feel when it comes to my tools and personal stuffs. Won't appreciate it if they're badly damaged." "That is so true." "Hey. Should we get started or what?" Spike asked impatiently and annoyingly. Twilight giggled, "Okay. We're going in now." "You can start your planting and watering," Shorty said firmly and calmly while preparing his Magical Detector, "I'm gonna start searching for the geode." "Let's get to it!" Spike cheered. Twilight, Shorty and Spike marched into the garden house. Twilight placed her watering can on the table. She took the broom as she happily sweeping and gathering the leaves into one area. Spike was sitting close to the table, accompanying and watching her owner gardening. Using his Magical Detector, Shorty searched around the garden house, finding the Elemental Geode. Unknown to them, the strange magic brownish aura was flying and entering the watering can. It glowed in brown sparkling colors. Twilight Sparkle: Give a little and you Get a little and you Care a little and it starts to show After sweeping the leaves, Twilight put the broom against the wall. As she approached to her watering can, she gave Spike a gentle pet. She then approached to couple of flower pots, which she watered them happily. Twilight: Growing things is easy If you just give it room to grow And just before Twilight could move on, she noticed something about the flower pots, consisting of white, reddish horn-like flower, rose and yellowish flower. They were glowing in greenish colored. And at the same time, they stretched out like they've just awaken from their slumber. "Oh!" Twilight gasped in surprise. She laughed a bit. She approached to them to greet them, "Well, hi there, little guys! How are you doing?" Four flowers curiously looked at each other for the moment. They then began singing and dancing happily and calmly. Twilight joined them as well. After they finished with their own song, she then watered them happily. Singing Plants: Give a little 'cause ya Care a little and ya Try a little and it starts to show Growing quick is easy when you just Get some room to grow "Wow! Singing plants! I didn't know that they're very alive! This is amazing!" Twilight commented happily. She turned to Shorty, who is at the corner, checking on bags of fertilizers. She called out, "Shorty, you need to see this!" "Busy, Twilight! I'm sure you can handle it well," Shorty said firmly while busy using his Magical Detector to scan on the bags. He hummed in concern while looking at his detector, "Why would this thing keep insisting that geode is around here? Something's not right." Twilight shrugged amusingly about Shorty missing his chance to see and study the talking and singing plants. Regardless, she continued singing and dancing while watering the plants happily and passionately. She even patted gently on them as well. Spike even nuzzled and befriended a rose in flower pot. Twilight Sparkle: Starting small but growing taller All ya need's a little love A little care A little for you, a little for you And maybe just a little more over there The more water she gave to the plants, the more of them have come to life. They then sang and danced happily and passionately. As Twilight was watering some flower pots, a small yellow one pushed the watering can to pour some water on it. Shorty was busy using his Magical Detector to scan and search around the fertilizer bags, plants and trees, though he's having trouble with his scanner as it continued beeping loudly and wildly. Twilight even noticed that some of the plants that she watered have slowly grown taller and bigger than before. Singing Plants: Give a little 'cause ya Care a little and ya Tip a little and ya make it more Growing big is easy when you just Get a little bit more! Twilight was shocked and worried of what she saw. The plants continued growing taller and bigger due to her watering can pouring water on them. She even noticed that more of plants were rudely nudging and demanding her to water them more. Growing worried and scared, Twilight nervously and reluctantly watered them. Shorty was busy checking on his Magical Detector, wondering why it beeping out loud and even showing the scanner that geode is around here. He grew frustrated and annoyed with his scanner. He even tried to bang and shook it hard, making sure it function properly. Twilight called, "Shorty! I need help now!" "What could you possibly need my-!" Shorty asked in annoyance as he turned to the front. He was interrupted when he found more plants were dancing and singing. Some of them have even grew into more humanoid. He yelped in shock and concern, "What the heck?! What happen?!" Twilight gulped in concern, "I don't know. I was just watering them, and the next thing I know, they come to alive and started singing!" "But how?!" Shorty asked in concern. He then looked at his Magical Detector and the plants. He gasped, "Oh no! The plants are being controlled and influenced by the geode!" "Where is it?!" Twilight asked in concern. And just before Shorty could answer, the first female reddish humanoid plant-like with giant lip and greenish leaf-like long hair grabbed and was drinking the watering can. Reddish horn-like flower stolen and grabbed it for drinking. Twilight quickly grabbed her watering can at once. She slowly back away from it. Plant Soloist 1: Gettin' a little isn't quite enough to satisfy Plant Soloist 2: I'd like a little more, please Can you help me? I'm a-dyin'! The humanoid cactus singing out loud, scaring Shorty off. Slowly backing away from the singing cactus, he suddenly got grabbed and hugged tightly and passionately by a humanoid fatty bushy tree with leaves. Feeling suffocated by the tree's hug, he grunted and struggled to escape the grip. Luckily, Spike jumped and took a big bite on tree's trunk, freeing Shorty out. Cactus: Please, I'll be your best friend You can tell me all your woes Tree: Shove over just a little bit I need some room to grow! Twilight, Shorty and Spike did their best to distanced and moved away from the singing plants. They're becoming aggressive and demanding for watering can to water them more. And at the same time, they're becoming taller and bigger. They even tried to grab and use the watering can, causing some fight between them or even pushing and knocking Twilight and her friends. Twilight managed to keep the watering can close to her. Plant Soloist 3: Come on, Twilight, help me out I'm thirsty, I need love Plant Soloist 4: Over here, I need some Plant Soloist 3: Hey, bud, you don't gotta shove! Managed to escape the singing plants, Twilight and her friends got rammed and knocked on each other hard. They grunted in pain while recovering and getting up. They then found themselves surround by more plants. They continued singing and demanding the watering can to water them. They even tried to grab and pull it away from Twilight. Singing Plants: Help us, Twilight, we need more That's the water we adore Just a little extra taste Don't let a droplet go to waste The singing plants continued singing wildly and aggressively while trying to get the watering can. Twilight, Shorty and Spike became scared and worried. "If we don't do something, they're gonna tear everything and us apart!" Shorty exclaimed in concern, "We have to find the geode, shutting its power down!" "But where?! Where could it be hiding?!" Twilight asked in concern. "I don't know! This stupid detector isn't helping me out!" Shorty snapped angrily as he threw down his device to the ground hard. He then noticed it continued beeping out loudly when he was pointing at Twilight's watering can. He gasped, "Of course! Damn it! It was right under our nose!" "My watering can?! The geode is inside it?!" Twilight asked in disbelief. "We'll talk about it later! We need to cut of the source now!" Shorty exclaimed in concern. Twilight grunted, trying to pull the watering can away from the vines, "I'm trying! What do we do?!" The vine grabbed and held a grip on Spike's body, making the dog whined, "TWILIGHT! HELP!" Shorty hissed while thinking of a way to solve the problem. He then looked up and found the sprinkle. He activated and armed with his Flame Volley Blaster. He aimed at the sprinkler. "I'm hope I'm right!" Shorty exclaimed in fear and concern. Shorty fired his Flame Volley Blaster at the sprinkler, causing it spread and rained its water upon both plants and watering can. All of the magical plants have transformed and returned to normal. Spike dropped and fell on Shorty's hands. All of them were very wet. They sighed in relief that they have stopped the plants from growing. "That was close. How did you know that it would work?" Twilight asked in surprise. Shorty sighed, "No. Just going with my guts. Since the watering can was contaminated with magic power, the only way to counter it is to overflow the watering can's and plants with our world water. That should return to normal for now." Twilight nodded in understanding. She then looked at the watering can, where she found a geode inside. She tried to take it but get shocked and electrocuted for the moment. She passed it to Shorty. After taking a hold on watering can, he took out the brownish colored geode out. "Who would have thought that a geode like this could cause a problem?" Spike asked in shock. Shorty sighed, "Well, this is Elemental Geode of Wood. It gives lives and heals everything especially healing and growing the plants." Twilight groaned a bit, "Hopefully, the other Elemental Geode don't cause much problem. Three more lefts - Earth, Ice and Metal." "Oh, and Twilight and Shorty?" Principal Celestia called as she arrived to garden house. She smiled, "Just be careful not to over-water the plants. Have fun!" Principal Celestia happily left the garden house at once. Twilight, Shorty and Spike were disbelief of what they saw. "She's kidding, right?" Spike asked in disbelief. END... Review and Suggest...

He turned and headed off to his class. As he was walking down the hallway, he noticed something or someone ahead of him. He found Sunset grunted and moaned painfully while holding her earphone tight against her ears as she struggled to walk properly and normally. She dropped her knees to the ground while holding tight on her head. Some students were passing her by. Concern for his friend, Tailtech rushed towards Sunset at once. He was about to ask and help her out. She then screamed in pain while making lots of 'lalalalalalalalala' noise. "Wow! Sunset, what's with you?!" Tailtech asked in concern. Sunset groaned in pain, "Tailtech, please! Stop thinking!" "What?! Why?!" "I'm hearing everyone's thoughts! I'm hearing them all! It's driving me crazy!" "Sunset, can't you shut it up or something?!" Tailtech asked in concern. "I... I can't! Tried it! Big headache!" Sunset groaned in pain. Tailtech hissed as he was giving some thinking to solve the problem. She hissed in pain while holding tight on her head, "Seriously! Not helping! Your complicated theories and analysis in your head is giving me more headache! And seriously, you ate the pepperoni pizza with jellies and cookies?! Gross!" "Hey! Privacy!" Tailtech complained in annoyance and frustration. He hummed thoughtfully, "Sunset, I might have the idea to help you out. And you're not gonna like this one." "You're gonna use your new invention - Magic Stun?!" Sunset asked in annoyance. Tailtech was shock and worried by her able to find out of his invention. She groaned, "I can read minds, you know!" Tailtech looked embarrassed and annoyed, "Right. I forgot..." "Just do it," Sunset said in annoyance, "Before I'm going crazy!" Tailtech nodded fearfully as he took out his mini blaster-like armed with a canister of Magic Cure. He blasted it at Sunset, who yelped in pain and agony, feeling the electrical stun surging on her. As soon as the energy dispersed, she dropped to the ground while her hands held down firmly. She was breathing slowly. "How do you feel?" Tailtech asked. Sunset groaned, "Lousy. I don't hear anything. Thanks." "That blast has only temporary deactivate your magic for the moment. The power was meant to prevent you or other from being mind-controlled or go rogue," Tailtech explained calmly and firmly, "Not sure how long its effect last. Sorry." "Better than nothing, I supposed. For now, gotta get everyone to music room to solve my power surge problem," Sunset said firmly and calmly. While making phone calls on the rest of their friends, Sunset and Tailtech headed off to the music room for discussion over the geode's overpower. Sunset and Tailtech made their way to the music room, where both Rainbooms and Dragon Strike Force were gathered except Rainbow Dash. They chattered in concern, wondering why Sunset and Tailtech called them. And at the same time, they seemed to be uneasy lately as well like something bad happen to them. "Hey, Sunset. What's going on?" Twilight asked in concern, "Is something wrong with you?" "And what's with earmuffs?" Aqua asked in confusion. "I'm fine. I just having some headaches," Sunset said in exhausted tone with groan, "Well, the earmuffs don't work. I'm now hearing everything everyone's thinking without even touching them! Is anyone else experiencing a sudden... uh... surge in their powers today?" Both Rainbooms and Dragon Strike Force looked uneasy and worried while remained silence for the moment. And just before she and Tailtech could ask, Sunset's eyes glowed in white like her magic has been activated! Flashbacks: Through her mind-reading powers, Sunset is looking through the memories of all Rainbooms and Dragon Strike Force. And to her shock and surprise, she wasn't the only person to have her power to go out of control and surge. 1) Fluttershy was walking down the Canterlot Town's street. She then heard some wild noise. She looked back as she found birds, dogs, cats, rabbits, reptiles and more were making lots of noise while following her, shocking the people to see it. She was embarrassed by it. 2) Twilight was riding her bicycle, with Spike on her basket. To their shock and confusion, they were glowing in purplish colored as they have been levitated and ridden across the sky. They both got scared and worried. 3) Applejack approached and tried to open the locker, getting her stuffs. But instead, she break the locker's door apart due to her uncontrollable strength. Everyone was shocked of what they just saw. 4) While entertaining and talking with her customers in the boutique, Rarity has inevitably activated and used her Diamond Bearers in pushing and knocking them off. She was embarrassed and disbelief of what she just saw. 5) At the school cafeteria, Pinkie was playing the bouncing apple. The fruit was glowing pinkish colored uncontrollably. It got exploded and spilled its juice on her, DJ-Pon3 and Bon-Bon. She was confused by exploding apple. 6) Shadow Dragon was training himself against the Wingchun Training Dummy firmly and seriously. As he slammed his punch against the dummy's chest, his fists glowed in darkness, which caused powerful force of dark powers in pushing and destroying it into pieces. 7) While working on both school works and documents, Blazefist got stressed and frustrated with the works. His body glowed in red as the blazing flames. He screamed out, inevitably unleashed and spread the flames burning down the office. He was shocked. 8) Saber and Ace were eating their tacos and nachos happily and wildly. Suddenly, a feather flowing down upon his noise. Feeling tickled by it, he sneezed out loud, causing a powerful blow on everyone away from him. 9) Aqua was exercising and swimming across her large pool. Unaware, her body glowed brightly, causing the pool wobbly and wildly forming into whirlpool and tidal waves, which almost flooded her home. 10) Shorty was testing on the Armor Guardians, along with Ciel and Asami. To their shock and disbelief, they found that laboratory covered by the growing vines, flowers and trees. 11) Terrorcreep was listening to his music peacefully and quietly. But he was interrupted by Zephyr Breeze and Laxtinct's pranks, prompting him to lose temper. Lightning, appeared out of nowhere, struck down upon them. Flashback Ends Sunset snapped back to the reality. She was filled with disbelief yet amazed by what she saw. "So you have!" Sunset asked in surprise. Her friends looked surprised by her remarks. She apologized, "Sorry. I just heard all of your thoughts. Can't help it. " "Yeah. It hurts a lot to fix the mess," Laxtinct muttered angrily and annoyingly, "Replacing the expensive Training Dummy, putting out the fire, drain out the flood, fixing the property damages, cutting off some weeds and not to mention, patching up my butt from crazy lightning! That really hurt!" Icy nodded, "Trust me. Lax's very pissed. And not to mention, expenses is not very good too." "Sorry..." Dragon Strike Force apologized uneasily. Twilight hummed thoughtfully, "Fascinating. I wonder what's causing it." "That's what I would like to know," Shorty said in concern, "It's been out of control for a week." Suddenly, Rainbow arrived and entered the music room before everyone. And at the same time, her geode was glowing in blue. She shouted happily, "Hi, guys! I just ran here from the soccer field in three seconds! Wait, hold on!" And just before anyone could ask, Rainbow ran off at once. But in one second later, she returned to her group. She has the backpack with her. "Forgot my backpack!" Rainbow exclaimed quickly and happily. She took a bite on her sandwich. She yelped in disgust, "Yuck! This needs mustard." And again, Rainbow ran off and returning to the group, bringing the mustard. Everyone was annoyed by her running and returning to the group. "Super speed is where it's at, am I right?!" Rainbow asked excitably and happily. Pouring the mustard on her sandwich, she ate it happily, "It's like, I can't stop because I've been getting so much done!" Though annoyed by Rainbow's arrogance, Twilight turned and looked on her geode, which was glowing brightly. She was in shock and surprised by it. She wasn't the only one, as the rest of her friends have the same reaction on their geodes. "Okay. Freakier..." Pinkie commented in shock. "Any idea of what's really going on?" Applejack asked in concern. Icy hummed suspiciously, looked at Rainbow, "Why do I get the feeling that Rainbow's fault at this?" "What?" Rainbow asked in confusion. "Mind if I borrow it, Sunset?" Twilight asked calmly. Sunset nodded as she passed the geode to him. She suggested, "I may have a theory about what's going on with our magic." "Me too," Tailtech added, "In fact, I might have the idea of solving the problem too." With the help of all geodes; Twilight, Tailtech and Shorty began working, researching, analyzing and experimenting on them. They all then writing down theories and information over the geodes' being overpowered suddenly. They even worked on the Magic Stun for neutralizing their powers should they and their friends ever be turned or mind-controlled by the enemies. Eventually, they managed to write down the information and charts on chalkboard. Twilight, Tailtech and Shorty began explanation over the geode's powers. "Our geodes are all connected." Twilight explained, "So the more each of us use our magic for everyday tasks, the more all of our powers become supercharged and go... haywire!" "In other words?" Shadow Dragon asked in annoyance and bore tone. Twilight groaned as she gave him a smack on his head. He yelped in pain, "What the hell, Twilight?! I don't get with science, you know!" Twilight groaned, "Well, you could at least try to learn, instead of keep failing it!" Shadow Dragon groaned, "Wouldn't kill you if you be gentle for one moment..." "Since Rainbow was using her super speed for everything, all of us experienced an uncontrollable boost." Sunset explained calmly. Everyone awed and nodded in understanding of what Sunset has explained. They all turned and glared at Rainbow, who looked nervous and worried. She laughed nervously and fearfully about the situation. Aqua groaned, "Honestly, Rainbow Dash! One of these days, I really gonna hit you very hard for your dumb ass!" "Aw, come on! I said 'whoopsie'!" Rainbow said in annoyance. "Okay, so how do we avoid these problems?" Blazefist asked in concern. "And avoid more damages too!" Laxtinct exclaimed in frustration, "Bad enough that I keep getting punishment when it's hardly my fault, you know!" "We said we're sorry, Lax," Saber said in annoyance, "Damn it. Don't get so sensitive over this." Rarity hummed thoughtfully, "Well, so long as we use it in moderation, our magic should stay under control?" "And our geodes will go all glowy if it's about to get whack-a-doodle-doo?" Pinkie asked happily and funny. Shorty nodded a bit, "It seems that way." "But what if it goes wrong? What if our power go out of control? What if-?" Fluttershy asked in concern. She whimpered fearfully, making Terrorcreep held and hugged her close to him. She cried tearfully, "I don't want to hurt my friends..." Laxtinct whimpered fearfully, "Please tell me that you have the backup plan!" "That's where I come in," Tailtech said firmly and calmly as he shown his blaster, "Unlike Magic Cure, Magic Stun should temporary neutralize and cut off magic power for the moment. And based on my calculation after Sunset's being neutralized from one blast, it takes at least 10 minutes only. By multiple blasts, it will take extra more 10 minutes." "That sounds safest way," Applejack said calmly. Saber nodded, "It seems that way. I wouldn't want to have some crazy dreams if it goes out of control." Twilight nodded, "It seems that way." Both Rainbooms and Dragon Strike Force chatted and nodded in agreement about the idea. "Hey, Rainbows!" A lax and calm voice called. Both Rainbooms and Dragon Strike Force turned to the entrance, where Zephyr Breeze was standing and leaning against the door. He smiled calmly, "There you are. Do you wanna go to the mall with me?" Rainbow yelped in fear, "Uh, I forgot I have to be at a..." She was about to run but held down by Aqua, who gave her angry and dark looks at her, making sure that her personal student doesn't try to use the powers again. She yelped in fear when she looked at her coach, "uh... a thing." "So, is that a yes?" Zephyr Breeze asked happily. Suddenly, a lightning zapped on him by butt. He yelped in pain and agony while rubbing on his, "Jeez, man! Just said 'no', you know! Dang it. I'm supposed to be overprotective little brother, not that vampire jerk! Jeez! I sometimes hate his guts!" Zephyr Breeze turned and left the music room while muttered and grumbled in annoyance. As soon as he left, everyone laughed at the scene. Rainbow and Fluttershy were embarrassed. Terrorcreep was annoyed and angered over Zephyr Breeze's pranks on him from last time. On the next day, Sunset was using and wearing earmuffs for another tests at the hallway with more students around. And so far, she hasn't heard anything from anyone's in her mind. She took it out for another try. But nothing again. She sighed in relief. "So?" Tailtech asked. Sunset sighed with a gentle smile, "Perfect. Perfectly fine." END... Review and Suggest...

Goes the Weasel! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shorty and Ciel have detected and located another Elemental Geode from their computer. It came from Camp Everfree, where Rainbooms and Dragon Strike Force made the shocking discovery of geodes and battled with Nezha and his Ultimate Warriors. Laxtinct, Saber, Pinkie and Applejack have been sent off to the camp to find and get the geode. Upon the arrival at the Camp Everfree's entrance, they met up with Gloriosa Daisy and Timber Spruce. The camp consultants were surprised and happy to see them. "Great to see you guys around," Timber greeted warmly and calmly while shaking their hands. He hummed curiously, "Say, may I know where's Twilight? I was hoping to see her again." "Sorry. She and Shadow Dragon are on the date," Applejack said calmly. She then gave him a stern glare, "Don't even think about making a move on her, mister." Looked nervous and worried, Timber gulped a bit before laughed nervously, "Who? Me? No! I wouldn't think of that! Honest!" Gloriosa sighed as she pushed Timber aside, "Don't mind my brother. So, what can I do for you?" "We were hoping that you can help us out," Saber said firmly and calmly. Gloriosa Daisy looked curious and concern as she nodded to help them out. He continued, "We think that there's another geode has landed around here." The news shocked and concern Gloriosa and Timber. Both of them looked at each other in concern as they didn't expect to have the geode appeared in their area again. "Don't supposed that you know where we can find it?" Applejack asked calmly. "I certainly hope that you're not hiding and using it again," Saber said firmly and suspiciously, "After what happen here before." Gloriosa looked down in shame. Timber protested firmly, "Hey! Just because she used the geodes before, doesn't mean she's doing it again. I can be damn sure that I make sure it won't happen again. Not on my watch." "It's okay, Timber," Gloriosa said firmly and calmly to her brother, "They have the right to be worry and suspicious of me since I did cause the mess. But I assure you that Timber and I have not seen or used the geode. If we did find it, we would have called you." Saber hummed thoughtfully, "I supposed so..." "Okay, enough with suspicious," Pinkie declared firmly, "So, why don't we focus on finding the geode before it cause the problem? The sooner we get it, the safer for everyone." Laxtinct nodded, "Yeah! I wouldn't wanna get stuck here again! Hate it when it comes to freaky Gaea Everfree!" Everyone was annoyed and irritated by Laxtinct's constant complain about Camp Everfree. "Still hate it?" Timber asked in annoyance. Everyone nodded in confirmation. He sighed, "I'll help out. Just to make sure that he doesn't do anything stupid again." Gloriosa sighed, "Sorry. I can't go. I need to meet up and discuss with the superintendent about the school's using the camp. But I'm sure that you'll find it in time." "Don't worry. We'll find it. Count on it," Saber said firmly and calmly. Timber guide and led Saber and his friends to the forest, searching and locating the Elemental Geode. Gloriosa returned to her camp office, meeting up and discuss with the superintendent of school. Travelling and walking through the forest, Saber and his friends were still following Timber, searching for the geode, with the help of Magic Detector So far, nothing but woodland creatures making wild noise as they were eating their foods, chatting to each other, having fun and so on. "Anything?" Applejack asked in concern. Still looking at the device as it was beeping softly and arrow pointed on every direction. Saber sighed, "No. I'm not getting anything. Signal's weak." "The curse of Gaea Everfree..." Laxtinct said fearfully and eerily, making everyone uneasy and disturbed by his tone. "Seriously? He's still afraid of my makeup believe monster?!" Timber asked in disbelief. "Eeyup," Pinkie nodded, "He still hasn't gotten over that since Camp Everfree. He got nightmares of her and Camp Everfree for every night." Timber groaned a bit, "And I'm supposed to be the guy get to blame for his nightmare?" "I wouldn't put it that way, Timber. I'm sure that Lax will get over it," Saber said calmly and firmly. Suddenly, his Magic Detector went off, alerting him to look at it. It was pointing on the west. He hummed, "Looks like we found it." Laxtinct sighed in frustration yet relief, "It's about time!" "To the west!" Pinkie cheered. Saber and his team rushed through the forest, following the Magic Detector's pointing to the west. Passing through couple of bushes and small trees, they have arrived at the large and clear open field with trimmed grass. And just before anyone could do anything, Laxtinct was the first person to scream while falling into a hole. Everyone looked at the hole. "You okay, Lax?" Pinkie asked. "What does it sounds like?!" Laxtinct's voice shouted angrily. He groaned, "Eew! I think I might have stepped on some kind of poops! Gross!" Pinkie groaned in disgust, "T.M.I." "Speaking of too much, look ahead!" Saber exclaimed in shock while looking up. Everyone looked up and found the field was filled with large holes. They all were in shock and disbelief about it. "Wow. Were you looking for treasure?" Pinkie asked in surprise. "No... I haven't been here for last two days," Timber said in shock and concern, "In fact, I'd never think a mole would do that..." "More like Magical Creature did this..." Saber said suspiciously while using and looking at Magic Detector's pointing on the holes, "I have the feeling that he's somewhere inside there." "Wait?! The Magic Mutant is inside here with me?!" Laxtinct's voice asked in disbelief. He then screamed, "Get me outta here! Help! Help! Heeeeeellllllppppppppp!" Everyone cringed in pain and fear to hear Laxtinct's screams of fear. "Seriously, that guy's needs to chill about nature. It's not really that bad," Timber said calmly, "So, any idea of how we find our little friend?" "There!" Pinkie exclaimed in surprise while pointed at third hole, near to the lake. Everyone looked up and found a crimson weasel was chittering and eating his nuts. She awed, "It's a weasel..." "I was expecting a mole..." Applejack said in surprise. "Mole, weasel or woodland, that weasel has what we're looking for," Saber said firmly. He approached and taken a hold on weasel. He hummed firmly while looking at geode that is around and attached to its neck, "Alright, weasel, you've got something that belongs to me." Weasel make a loud squeak noise, alerting Saber and his friends. And to his surprise, he felt himself quake and shaken wildly and crazily. It even kicked his transforming from flesh to stone-like feet on his face. It jumped and dived into a hole. Everyone was shocked of what they saw. "Wow! I did not expect that." Pinkie commented in shock and surprise. "That explains of how he dug so many holes," Applejack said in surprise. "Either way, we need to get that weasel before it cause more problems," Saber said firmly. Using his com-link, he contacted Laxtinct, "Lax. I need you to find that weasel in the tunnel while we get ready to pounce and get it." "WHAT?! Are you kidding me?!" Laxtinct's voice asked in shock and disbelief, "Oh no! No way! I am not gonna stick my neck around, just to find some stinking geode! The last thing I need right now is-!" Saber groaned, "Laxtinct! Stop being a brat and get that geode! Just do it, will ya?!" Laxtinct's voice groaned, "Fine! If I died here, I'm gonna kill you for this!" Laxtinct muttered and mumbled angrily as he began searching and hunting down for his geode from the weasel. Saber turned and looked at his friends, "While Laxtinct is trying to get that weasel, we should get ourselves ready for it to come out. It's not gonna get away with the geode!" Everyone nodded firmly and determinedly. They all approached to the holes, armed themselves with nets to catch the weasel. Inside the tunnel, Laxtinct was digging and crawling through the networks of tunnels, searching for the weasel. And at the same time, he was mumbling and muttering angrily about going through the underground tunnels and finding the weasel especially he still hates going to camp. While still mumbling angrily, Laxtinct accidentally bumped into something furry and fuzzy. He looked up and found the weasel's in front of him. And just before he could do anything, the weasel screeched out loud as it pounced around, causing the pillars emerged and smacked him up and down against the ceilings. It then ran off at once. Laxtinct groaned in pain, "Oh no! You're not getting away with it! Come back here now!" Laxtinct screamed angrily and annoyingly as he chased after the weasel through the network of tunnels. However, he often encountered several problems he has to face such as mudslide, rock slides, walls slam, throwing couple of mud on his face, got spikes poked on his back, got stuck on the tight and small tunnel that forced him to break through and so on. Grew tired and angered with the weasel's prank, Laxtinct screamed angrily as he summoned and threw couple of rocks and boulders, digging and tunneling the tunnels to be big enough for him to travel. And at the same time, he used his Rock Hammer in slamming and attacking the weasel, who only did is running for his life while using Elemental Geode of Earth powers in pushing and repelling him back. Both Laxtinct and Weasel chasing and fighting with each other has caused lots of commotion and damages to the tunnels. The ceilings were shaking and quaking wildly as it slowly formed some cracks and lines. They were about to break and collapse. Saber and his friends were still searching and looking through the holes of the field, finding and trying to get the weasel. And to their shock and concerns, they felt the ground was shaking and quaking wildly and crazily. They even see the ground was forming cracked lines around the field. This shocked and scared them to panic and run for their lives. Saber and his friends have managed to escape before the field break apart and formed a large hole. They all panted and breathed heavily while looking at the sink hole. They all wondered if Laxtinct's alright. Suddenly, a fist pierce through and raise from the ground, slowly revealing Laxtinct got out, bringing along with both geode and unconscious weasel. He then gave loud scream of agony and fear. "Laxtinct, you're alive!" Pinkie cheered happily. "Nice work, Lax," Saber gave thumbs up to Laxtinct, "Looks like you've got the geode!" Laxtinct screamed crazily and wildly, "I'd never ever going to the camp! AGAIN! I REALLY HATE CAMP! I HATE CAMP!" "Wow. He's still having got over that," Timber said in annoyance. Applejack sighed, "Well, that's Laxtinct for ya..." END... Review and Suggest... Main Cast: P.J.

You've gotta be kidding me?!" With another Elemental Geode of Ice located; Sunset, Pinkie, Rarity, Aqua and Icy were dispatched to find and retrieve it. They've now arrived at the Arc de Triomphe. Rarity was taking a selfie on herself, Sunset and Icy in front of the Paris's Monument. Aqua sighed, "Out of all places, it has to be the Paris?" "What's wrong with that?" Pinkie asked in confusion. She giggled, "Going to Paris is amazing! And fun! And not to mention, you get to eat tons of best bread and cakes you ever had!" "You also get to see the best monuments and landmarks like here - Arc de Triomphe, Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame and more," Icy commented happily. She sighed, "I love these places!" "And don't forget, darling, fashions!" Rarity cheered happily. She sighed happily while imagining of various fashion dresses she worn. She continued happily and dreamily, "Just imagine the dresses I could wear for life!" "And don't forget, feel the love of Paris," Sunset added happily and calmly, "Too bad that we didn't bring our boys here for romantic dates." Rarity nodded happily, "True that, darling." Pinkie groaned while thinking about getting her love, "For you guys, maybe..." "Girls, we're here for the mission, not having fun," Aqua asked in annoyance. The rest of her friends sighed in defeat while nodded in understanding. She sighed calmly as she looked at her Magical Detector, "According to the detector, the geode should be around somewhere here." "Chillax, coach. We'll find it. Count on it," Sunset said calmly. Rarity giggled, "For now. We enjoy shopping and fashion now! I might get the idea of designing new fashions!" "And don't forget, eating the best sweets and bread ever!" Pinkie cheered happily. Icy squealed happily, "I am so in!" "Why do I even bother?" Aqua asked in annoyance, with her eyes rolled over. She sighed dryly, "Alright. While we're at it, we keep an eye on the geode. I have the feeling that we'll come across to it." "All alright..." The rest of girls responded with annoyed tone. "Shopping time!" Rarity exclaimed happily, making her girls cheered and squealed happily and wildly. Rarity and her friends ran off for shopping at once. Aqua gave the annoyed and irritated looks with a huff sound. She then muttered about 'shopping' and 'fancy stuffs' while going after the girls, making sure they don't get themselves into troubles again. Aqua and her friends were travelling and sightseeing around the Paris while keeping their eyes out and searching for the Elemental Geode. And at the same time, most of the girls were having great time at Paris such as taking selfies and pictures on monuments, landmarks and arts, looking at some artworks, sightseeing on landmarks, wearing and buying some fashions and jewelries, having and enjoying some fun at the park, even visiting Tom & Sabine Boulangerie Patisserie for taking snacks, even befriending and helping the bakers' daughter named Marinette, a 14-years-old French-Chinese girl with blue hair in two pigtail style worn a dark gray blazer with rolled-up sleeves, white t-shirt with black stitching and a flower design below the collar, pink rolled up jeans and pink ballet flats with dark red soles on her fashion school project with her friends and more. Aqua, annoyed and irritated, forced to carrying their stuffs and shops, as well as paying some damages that the girls have caused. But they're still unable to locate the Elemental Geode of Ice yet they haven't see any sign of troubles from either the enemies or locals from using it. No sign of them at all. Rarity and her friends were walking down the streets as they were chatting and discussing happily about the fun they have. They enjoyed their 'holiday' at Paris. Aqua was behind them as she was carrying tons of shopping bags and souvenirs on her back. Aqua groaned in frustration, "This is so not my day..." "Chillax, Aqua, just enjoy the fun," Sunset commented happily, "And even Rainbow Dash does have fun with shopping." "Her? Shopping? Yeah, I don't see that," Aqua remarked dryly. She sighed, "Besides, we were supposed to keep our eyes out for the geode, you know." "Don't worry, darling. I'm certain that we will come across to it sooner or later," Rarity commented happily. Pinkie nodded, "Yeah. What's the worse thing could happen?" BOOM! BANG! A large rounded table got thrown out. And at the same time, customers screamed and panicked as they all got out from the restaurant. Aqua and her friends were in shock of what they saw. They turned and glared at Pinkie, who innocently looked away and whistled out loud. Nevertheless, Aqua and her friends went inside the restaurant, where they found some of customers and waiters were trapped inside the frozen walls while others were shivering and quaking in fear to hide underneath the tables. They all quickly hide behind the large counter to see what happens around. They even found the culprit, who is responsible of using the ice powers. She is an older yellowish colored woman with dark blue-cyan colored funky hair worn sparkling fashion singer shirt with shinning stars-like skirt with purple long pants and funky shoes, was sitting down on the table. She's in transparent freezing ice queen state-like. A waiter - an orange-brownish colored guy with chocolate colored funky afro-style, worn a waiter's suit was playing an accordion frantically and fearfully. "Whoa..." Pinkie remarked in surprise while looking at the waiter, "He's so handsome..." "Somebody sure got issues with dinning," Aqua commented in surprise. "That's not just somebody! That's Sapphire Shores!" Rarity exclaimed in surprise. She hissed in concern upon looking at her in state, "Oh my. She doesn't look too good." "I'm guessing the Elemental Geode of Ice," Icy said in concern. "We need to get it away from her. The last thing we want is her creating the Ice Age on France," Sunset said firmly and seriously, "So, any idea?" "Tackle her head on," Aqua said firmly. "That would be bad idea," Rarity said in concern while pointing at the freezing state. "We could try to talk with her?" Icy suggested. "That' even worse idea," Aqua protested, "I have the feeling that the geode's corrupting her to listen to reason, and even willing to give it to us." "Well, that must be something we can do," Sunset said in concern, "What do you think, Pinkie? Got brilliant idea?" But no answer. Aqua and her friends turned and found Pinkie was nowhere to be found. This alerted and shocked the team to be worried. They looked around to find her. And to their disbelieving shock, they found her bouncing around and talking to the guy. "Hey there," Pinkie greeted warmly and friendly. "Uh Hey?" The waiter greeted nervously. "I'm Pinkie Pie! What's your name?" "Uh... Cheese Sandwich. Yeah, Nice to meet you, Pinkie." "Say. I was hoping that I wasn't bothering you or something. Maybe after the work that you and I could go and-!" "Pinkie, I'd love to chat but I'm busy now," Cheese said fearfully and frantically while playing the accordion, "This customer is really in bad mood." Pinkie giggled, "Bad mood? This is nothing! I can do better than that!" Cheese hissed in concern, "You don't understand! She-!" "Waiter! When can I have my own desert?! I'm getting impatient!" Sapphire Shores demanded angrily and annoyingly. She turned and glared at Pinkie, "Who is this?! Some clown?!" "I'm no clown, but I do want to make people smile and not get grouchy and upset because she missed the desert!" Pinkie commented happily. "Why you?!" Sapphire Shores growled in anger. And just before she could use her ice powers, she found Aqua and her friends have arrived and stood before her. She groaned, "Who are these?! What the hell is going on?!" "Madam Sapphire Shores, please don't do this! Don't kill our friend! She didn't mean to disrespect you!" Rarity pleaded frantically, "In fact, she's trying to help you!" "Yeah! Pinkie's really good at jokes and entertainment! She's happy to help you out," Sunset insisted calmly. "Why should I?" Sapphire Shores demanded dryly, "What do you want? You're after something. I want to know why?" "If we tell you, you wouldn't do it," Aqua said in concern, making Sapphire Shores suspicious and unconvinced, "We just want the geode. Nothing else. We promise that we won't ruin your lunch." "Do you honestly think I would give you this jewel?" Sapphire Shore demanded while holding the geode. "Hey, how about this? If we do something a favor, then you can give us the geode? Deal?" Icy asked in concern. Sapphire Shores hummed thoughtfully, "Well, get me the best of the desert you can come up with, then I might reconsider." "Okay! No problem! I'm the best cook!" Icy cheered happily, "I'll do it!" Aqua and her friends were alerted by Icy's volunteer. Pinkie exclaimed, "No! I mean I'll do it! I'm good at this! So-!" "No. I want you work with this waiter and make the best musical act," Sapphire Shores said dryly, shocking the group. Before they could protest, she spoke up, "I ain't gonna take no for this request. Or else..." "Damn it. Not good," Sunset said in concern. "Sunset, Rarity, help Icy. Make sure she cook the 'good' one," Aqua said firmly and calmly, "I'll stay with them. Make sure she's cool off." Though not convinced and dislike the idea, Sunset and Rarity have no other choices. They went with Icy to the kitchen, began working and making the best desert they could afford. Aqua remained behind to keep an eye on Sapphire Shores, making sure that she doesn't lose her temper and use her geode's powers. Cheese and Pinkie did their best to make the musical act as long as they can. Almost 15 minutes have passed, Cheese and Pinkie became very tired and exhausted from making the musical as they're running out of ideas now. Sapphire Shores has grown impatient. Aqua readied herself with Elemental Geode of Water to unleash the Tidal Wave ability on her. Just in the nick of time; Icy, Sunset and Rarity have arrived, with the large vanilla cake with various kind of ice-cream to the table. They then moved it on the table before her. Sapphire Shores looked uneasy and worried upon looking at it. The rest of her friends also has the same reaction as well, and they do not like it. "Bon Appetit!" Icy exclaimed happily. Sapphire Shores hummed suspiciously while looking at the biggest desert Icy has cooked up with. She shrugged a bit as she took a scoop for her to try and eat slowly and calmly. "Please, tell me that she followed the instruction of making ice-cream cake," Aqua said in concern. "Nope," Rarity admitted in concern. Sunset hissed, "She mixed all kinds of desert." "The hell!" Aqua exclaimed in concern before sighed, "We're so screwed!" GASPED! Everyone was alerted by the gasp. They turned and looked at Sapphire Shores, who looked shock and disbelief. They do not like it. But instead, she quickly eat the cake with various kind of ice-cream wildly and crazily, making everyone speechless and disbelief about it. They couldn't believe of what they just saw. As soon as she finished her desert, Sapphire Shores sighed in relief before took a napkin to wipe off her mouth. Sapphire Shores sighed, "Hmm... That's gotta be delicious desert I ever had. Here you go you deserve it." Sapphire Shores passed the geode to Icy gently, causing the surroundings in frozen state into normal state including freeing people from their imprisonment. She returned to normal. Aqua and her friends sighed in relief. Pinkie and Cheese even gave each other a warm hug before kissing each other. They yelped as they quickly departed from kissing. Pinkie giggled uneasily, "Sorry. So, about the date? You're free?" Cheese hummed while looking at his watch. He smiled, "Yeah, sure. I'm free." "I cannot believe of what I just saw," Rarity said in surprise. "Tell me about it," Aqua agreed, "I don't know what scared me the most - Sapphire Shore's temper or Icy's food." Sunset shrugged, "Icy's food." "Huh?" Icy asked in confusion. END... Review and Suggest...

Most of them worn cosplays of their favorite characters from the shows such as Power Ponies, Daring Do, Little Pets and so on. Some even chatted and discussed about their personal opinions and interest on the shows. A few were enjoyed the activities such as watching shows, buying and shopping, playing games and many other activities. Sunset, Rainbow, Tailtech, Blazefist and Indigo were also part of the audience. Rainbow was wearing her favorite character's cosplay - Daring Do, Sunset was dressing up as Black Spider-Girl and Indigo was wearing a blackish suit with greenish samurai armor and kabuto helmet-like. Tailtech was wearing a scientist suit-like. "Aw man! I can't believe we're here! This is so awesome!" Rainbow cheered happily. "Tell me about it!" Indigo agreed happily and wildly. She whistled out loud, "Oh yeah! Mecha Samurai is in the house! This is gonna be fun!" Sunset turned and looked at Tailtech and Blazefist, "I'm kinda surprised that you two decide to join comic-con. I mean you two aren't exactly-!" "Oh, Sunset, I am the fan of some comic books," Tailtech said calmly and happily. He showed off his scientist suit, "Why else I worn the 'Doctor Time' in the first place?" "Doctor Time? Is that even a real show?" Rainbow asked in annoyance. Sunset hummed thoughtfully, "Apparently so. I did read that show was 1970s. I think." "Lame..." Indigo remarked dryly, "Science geek show. Boring..." "What about you?" Sunset asked Blazefist. "Just hanging around," Blazefist answered firmly yet teasingly, "After all, I'm just here for my kiddo to have some fun at comic con. And who knows? I might come across to something I really like and buy." "Yeah, right. A commanding officer like you really like some fiction stuffs," Rainbow remarked amusingly and teasingly, annoyed Blazefist. She turned and noticed Sunset was carrying and holding the bag of papers, binder and stationary stuffs. She asked, "Hey, Sunset. What's with stationary stuffs? Delivering them to some kids?" "Nope. I'm entering the comic book competition," Sunset answered calmly and proudly. She took out a comic book and continued, "Ever since I published it on websites and school, the Hasbro Company themselves invite me to join the competition! Can you believe it? I was invited by the toy company for the competition!" While reading the comic book, Rainbow gasped in surprise while showing the comic book to her friends, "No way! You based the superheroes on us?! That's so awesome!" "Yup. I call it 'Super Magical Girls'," Sunset declared proudly. She sighed, "I'm proud of my artwork." Blazefist was the last one to pick and look at the comic book. He hummed in concern, "Not sure if that's good idea. It's supposed to be low profile." Sunset scoffed as she rebuffed, "Relax, Blaze. This is just a comic book. They'll probably think it's just for entertainment. And besides, no one would believe that we're the real deal. They would think that I based them on myself and friends for fun to have superpowers." "She does have the point," Tailtech said thoughtfully, "I mean what are the high chances of anyone finding out?" Blazefist sighed, "Fine. Just make sure that no one knows about your secrets. Got it?" Sunset saluted with a wink, "Got it, Commander. Enjoy the Comic Con, sir." Blazefist groaned a bit as he and Indigo headed off to the Mecha Samurai convention for checking out and buying some action figures, CDs and even posters. Rainbow headed off to find and get the autograph from A.K. Yearling. Tailtech and Sunset were heading off to check out on 'Doctor Time' convention while heading straight to Comic Book Competition. Sunset and Tailtech have spent for almost one hour and half of checking out and enjoying the 'Doctor Time' Franchise for fun and even learning about the history and education. Eventually, they have went to the Comic Book Competition Center, where almost hundreds have been gathered and crowded. Some have registered to join the competition. Others were there to watch it. While Tailtech went to take his seat, Sunset went up ahead to sign and register herself for the event. As she was writing down on her registered paper, a familiar person has arrived on the right side of counter to register his. "Sunset?" The familiar voice asked in surprise, alerting her. Sunset turned to her right, and found Shadow Dragon stood before her. Both of them greeted to each other warmly. He smiled warmly, "I didn't know that you're also in comic book competition." Sunset giggled a bit, "Well, I would say that I would like to put my skills to the test." Shadow Dragon laughed amusingly, "Wow. That's interesting. I would like to see you try, Sunset. Believe me. I'm not just martial artist, but I'm also a cool artist. I won't go down easy. Got it?" Sunset scoffed, "Oh yeah? We'll see about that, pal. And believe me, I'm a better artist than you are." Shadow Dragon smirked confidently, "I wouldn't bet on it, girl. Game on?" Sunset smirked as well, "Game on, buddy." Shadow Dragon and Sunset headed off to begin drawing and designing their own comic. Tailtech was watching the competition from the spectator seats. He was soon joined by Blazefist and Rainbow. And to his surprise, he found Twilight and Spike on his left side. "I'm guessing you're here to support S.D.?" Tailtech asked amusingly. Twilight nodded playfully, "You've guessed it. He does loved drawing comics." "No surprise. Sunset also got interest in the comic as well," Tailtech commented playfully, "I wonder who will win this?" Twilight giggled amusingly, "You may never know. Time can tell..." With the referee hit the bell hard, the contestants including Shadow Dragon and Sunset have unleashed their imagination and drawing out of the comic books wildly and determinedly. Most of the boys drew out the superhero, action, fantasy and science-fiction genre comics. Some of the girls did with cute and cuddly animals, and even romantic genre comic books. A few did the opposite interests. Others did differently such as comedy, historical, drama, horror, mystery and so on. Based on her and her friends as well as her magical adventures; Sunset drew out the origin of how Super Magical Girls meet and befriend, teaming up and working out their difference, and fighting against the humanoid Insect-like Queen, who lead her hive to conquer and control the world to feed out of humanity's emotional for them. Shadow Dragon was drawing out on his favorite superhero called Kuuga the Warrior, involving him struggled to overcome his darkest emotion while facing against his arch-nemesis Death Warlock to defend the citizens from him and his Warlock Warriors at the darkest hour. During two hours, Shadow Dragon, Sunset and many more contestants were determined to draw and finish their comics, no matter what and how. After the two-hours comic competition, Sunset and Shadow Dragon regrouped with the rest of their friends. They all have their own lunch and drinks for half-an-hour. And at the same time, they were chatting and having fun. The judges were checking and judging on which comic books are the best to be part of Top 30 Participants. After their lunch, Sunset and all of her friends returned to Comic Book Competition, where the judges and announcer are making announcement of who is the winner. And so far, 28 out of 125 participants won the competition. Sunset and Shadow Dragon were not among them yet. They're both becoming nervous and excited to get their own award. "And the second place goes to..." Announcer announced in suspense, making everyone nervous yet excited. He smiled and declared, "Sunset Shimmer and Shadow Dragon for both 'Super Magical Girls Origin' and 'Kuuga's Darkest Hour' for the best action sequence!" Everyone gasped in surprise and shock. Sunset and Shadow Dragon were both surprised yet amazed and disbelief of what they heard. As the crowd went wild, they both approached and climbed on the stage, where they both received their medals. Though the announcer provide one medal, Shadow Dragon solved it by cutting in halves for him and Sunset to share. The crowd has once again cheered wildly and happily. "Not what I'm expecting but awesome," Sunset commented. Shadow Dragon nodded, "Yeah. But it's an honor to draw the comic besides you." Sunset smiled, "The honor is mine, S.D." "And now, the winner of this year's comic book competition goes to..." Announcer announced in suspense tone firmly while looking at the letter. He smiled, "Indigo Zap for her Mecha Samurai's Cyber Adventures for the best story line of her origin to become the superhero! She is now crowned as the King or Queen of the Comics!" Sunset and most of her friends were in shock and surprised by the announcement while Blazefist and the crowd went wild again. Indigo climbed on the stage, where she received the award. She made her victory pose and cheered out wildly before the crowd. "I didn't know she join the competition," Rainbow said in surprise. Blazefist smirked, "You'd never ask." He cheered out loud, "Way to go, Indigo!" Indigo cheered wildly and happily before the crowd. Sunset and Shadow Dragon looked at each other for the moment before they laughed out happily and amusingly. END... Review and Suggest...

Most of them were having lunch. Some were doing their own activities such as reading books, playing sports, training and having fun. Others were just resting, relaxing and do nothing. Twilight, Fluttershy and Nyx were giggling happily and playfully over Pinkie's Babysitting Adventure. As they approached to the shy girl's locker, Fluttershy opened its door, where she found frightened and worried Spike hiding inside the locker. Three of them looked shock and surprised to see him inside. "Spike?!" The girls asked in surprise. "What are you doing here?" Twilight asked in concern, "You know you're not supposed to be here!" Before Spike could explain anything, the student screamed and panicked in fear and agony while shouting out loud 'snake' or 'giant snake'. Spike yelped in fear as he quickly closed the locker's door at once, hiding inside. Twilight and her friends were confused of the event. Before they ask, they then found Dragoking hissed and screeched angrily and wildly, slithering across the hallway while scaring and driving students away from him. "Dragoking?" Fluttershy asked in surprise. She noticed the mutant anaconda's being angry and annoyed. She asked, "Is there something-?!" "SPIKE!" Dragoking screeched out wildly and angrily, scaring the girls off. Dragoking slithered away, searching and hunting down on Spike for angry reason. Twilight, Fluttershy and Nyx were dumbfounded yet shocked and disbelieved of what they just saw and heard. They turned to the locker, where its door opened and revealed nervous Spike. "I guess I've got explanation to do?" Spike asked uneasily. Twilight, Fluttershy and Nyx nodded firmly. He sighed in defeat, "I might have accidentally stolen and eaten his all of snacks." "WHAT?!" The girls asked in shock and disbelief. "Spike! Are you out of your mind?!" Twilight asked in annoyance, "You know better than sneaking and eating his food! Snakes don't like anyone steal their food." Spike groaned, "I know. But his fish sticks and pork steaks were nice. I've gotta try it." He sighed, "I guess I might have gone overboard." "You think?" Nyx asked in annoyance, "Have you tried to apologize to him?" "Are you kidding me?! The second I go near him, he would try to eat me alive than letting me explain!" Spike answered fearfully and frantically at his friends' faces. He panted heavily before sighed, "I can't do it! I really can't!" "Like it or not, you have to apologize to him for stealing his snacks" Twilight suggested firmly. She sighed, "I'll go find and get Dragoking. Assuming he's not in crazy mood to coil me up for him to lick my whole body. I don't know what scares me the most - a snake eating me alive or being a pervert." Twilight left her friend behind as she went and sought out Dragoking. Spike looked uneasy and scared while shivered and quivered in fear. He groaned in frustration before having his paws to cover his head. "If it makes you feel better, I'd be happy to be there for you," Fluttershy suggested. Nyx smiled, "If it goes wrong, then me and Crusaders are happy to help." "Hope you don't mind us around," The squeaky voice spoke up, alerting Spike and his friends. They looked up and found Wheelie and Brains lying on the locker. They waved at him. The blue Minicon smiled, "We've got something that will get you out of the mess." Brains chuckled happily, "It'll be the blast, doggy!" Spike hummed thoughtfully as he's giving some thoughts of who can help him out from his sticky situation. Who should he choose? What is the result of the ending? If Spike chose Fluttershy... Fluttershy was carrying and holding Spike on her hands, accompanied by Nyx and two Minicons. The young child was holding a plastic container of food. They were heading straight to cafeteria, where most of students dare not enter it. They were quivered and shivered fearfully and frantically about going in. Spike gulped fearfully, "This is a really bad idea." "Don't worry, Spike. We'll be standing by your side," Fluttershy said calmly while patted his head gently, "We won't let Dragoking eat you alive." Spike sighed, "That's what I'm worried about." Spike, Fluttershy and their friends marched into the cafeteria. They found the area is very messy, filthy and wet with food and drinks lying around. Dragoking was slithering and coiling himself around as the snake was grumbling and mumbling angrily and annoyingly. They then found Twilight just returned to them. She looked very messy and dirty. Twilight sighed in annoyance and frustration, "I managed to calm that snake down. He sure have a quite the temper. assumed that you have a better plan?" Spike gulped, "More or less..." Fluttershy smiled warmly, "It'll be alright. Count on it." "I hope you're right," Twilight said in concern. Spike and his friends marched straight towards Dragoking. Sensing their approaching via feeling the vibration on the ground, the mutated snake raised his head as he turned and glared at them. He screeched out loudly and angrily, preparing to attack the dog. Spike yelped as he covered himself to brace for the attack. Fluttershy stood firmly and glared at the snake, causing him to halt at once. Dragoking looked nervous and uneasy when looking at the shy girl's angry eyes. "Mr. Dragoking, I'd appreciate that you will not try to attack and kill him! Because if you, you're gonna have some serious timeout! Do you understand, mister?!" Fluttershy asked angrily, making him nervously nodded. She sighed calmly before said sincerely, "Good boy. Now, Spike has something to say." Fluttershy put Spike down on the floor, along with Nyx putting the container as well. They're all standing behind the dog. He is now facing at Dragoking, who was glaring and hissing at him. Seeing the mutated snake's angry eyes has make him nervous and worried. Spike gulped fearfully, "Here goes nothing." He sighed a bit as he approached to Dragoking while pushing the container before the snake. He continued, "Hey, Dragoking. I know you're still pretty mad and won't forgive m easily. But I'm really sorry for eating your snacks. So, I decided to make another snack for you. I hope it will be good enough." Spike bowed to the ground. Though still unconvinced, Dragoking was surprised and amazed by the dog's willing to apologize. The snake slithered towards the container. He opened it as it revealed pack of sausage, friend fish and even mash potatoes. He was amazed and surprised by the view. He took a sausage for him to try it. As he took a bite, he eat and chewed slowly and gently to taste its food. He yelped in surprise as he was amazed and touched by it delicious food. Just before he could eat it, Dragoking turned and looked at Spike, who is still bowing to the ground. Using his tail, he lifted the dog's head up. The snake smiled at him warmly, while pushing and moving contained to him. This surprised Spike. "You forgive me?" Spike asked in surprise. Dragoking nodded and smiled warmly, "Friends... We're friends." Spike sighed, "Thanks. I promised that I won't steal your food." Dragoking smiled and nodded happily. He and Spike began eating and chewing the food happily and warmly. Fluttershy and her friends smiled warmly and happily to see them working out with their problems and become friends again. Fluttershy sighed in relief, "Thank goodness that everything went out alright..." If Spike chose Wheelie and Brains... Wheelie and Brains brought Spike outside of the school's lawn, where they're discussing and planning of how to deal with Dragoking. The dog was more nervous and uneasy before "Okay, pal, if you wanna get away from that big mutant Snake, then you're at the right place," Wheelie bragged happily and amusingly. "So, I don't supposed that you've got 'brilliant' plan?" Spike asked in unconvinced tone. Wheelie smirked, "Don't worry, baby puppy. We've got everything under control." Brains chuckled playfully, "Yeah. You won't regret it, buddy." "Why do I get the feeling that I might regret it?" Spike asked in concern with groaning. He sighed, "So, what can I do?" Wheelie gave the paper to Spike, "Follow the list while me and buddy will be working on the project to deal with D.K. for good." Spike raised his left eyebrow with unconvinced look and tone, "You're kidding?" "Time's running out, doggy! The crazy snake will be here to take you down!" Wheelie snapped in annoyance, "Better get going, little doggy!" Spike groaned in frustration as he went off to complete the list that Wheelie has listened while he and his Minicon went off to deal with the 'project'. An hour has passed, the dog has returned to the school's lawn. He looked exhausted and tired yet beat up like some people were beating him up. He was carrying the bag on his mouth. He grumbled angrily and annoyingly. He arrived at the lawn, where Wheelie and Brains were working on strange purple colored pinata. Putting down the bag, Spike panted heavily, "Okay, I'm here. I did what you ask. So, what are we building?" "We're done!" Brains exclaimed happily, shocking and confusing Spike. Showing the dog-like pinata before Spike, Wheelie smirked, "Tadah! Our project! The Spike Pinata! What do you think, buddy? Perfect?" "Huh?!" Spike asked in shock and disbelief. He looked at the bag as he asked, "What the heck did I just do with the list?" "For our fun," Wheelie and Brains answered happily. Spike groaned in annoyance, "I shouldn't have known! Never ever trust the perverted Minicons..." "Well, either way, we're ready!" Wheelie exclaimed happily as he took the bag from Spike's. He chuckled happily, "Either way, let's make final adjustment for our snake guy." Wheelie and Brains placed the dog pinata in the middle of lawn. They and Spike quickly hid behind the bushes, where they're watching the event. "So, what exactly we're doing?" Spike asked in concern. "Watch and learn, buddy," Wheelie said happily and calmly. Brains gasped, "Here comes the big boy!" SCREECH! Spike, Wheelie and Brains were alerted by the noise. They then found Dragoking pounced and coiled the pinata tightly in his grip. As he was tightening up his coil, the pinata burst and broke into pieces, revealing crimson watery around him. He was shocked and disbelieved of what he just saw. Instead of proud and happy, the giant mutated anaconda cried tearfully and shamefully. "That's your plan?!" Spike asked in shock, "Scared him?! Make him upset?!" "Actually he was supposed to be happy," Wheelie shrugged uneasily, "I mean snakes are happy to get their revenge." Spike groaned in annoyance about Wheelie's plan. He emerged out from the bushes. He approached t Dragoking, who was still crying tearfully. He poked the snake, getting his attention. He looked surprise when he was looking at the dog. "Hi..." Spike waved uneasily. He sighed in shame while looked down, "I'd never want the prank on you. I'd just want to hide from you because you have the bad temper. But sorry for the lunch and pranks. You can tackle me or finish me off if you want." To the dog's surprise, Dragoking coiled up Spike in his grip. The snake nuzzled and patted him. This surprised and amazed him. Wheelie and Brains were surprised of the event. "That was unexpected..." Wheelie commented in surprise. Brains nodded before looked at the bag, "Well, we've got the ladies' assets especially Sunset's. We're gonna make the best model out of this one." Wheelie chuckled, "Good thing that she's not on our back." "Want a bet?!" Sunset's angry voice asked, shocking and alerting two Minicons. Wheelie and Brains screamed and panicked frantically and fearfully. They were running away from angry Sunset, who was using the rolling pin to wrack them both. Spike and Dragoking watched the event. They looked at each other for the moment before they laughed out loudly and happily. If Spike chose Cutie Mark Crusaders... Nyx took Spike with her as they both were heading off to Cutie Mark Crusaders' hideout. She even called her friends to help them out as well. They gathered inside the clubhouse. "Okay, Crusaders, we have a serious emergency! Spike's in grave danger! He needs out help!" Nyx exclaimed firmly. Cutie Mark Crusaders gasped in shock and concern. She continued, "He's been hunted down by Dragoking for stealing and eating his food!" Cutie Mark Crusaders gasped in shock and concern. Jade hissed, "Dude! That is wrong. Everyone knows that stealing food from snake is not a good idea." Scootaloo hissed in concern, "Yeah. He'd do anything to get his revenge." "Gee. Thanks for reminding me..." Spike remarked annoyingly. He sighed in annoyance, "I need your help." "Don't worry, Spike. We'll help you out," Sweetie Belle said firmly and determinedly. Apple Bloom nodded, "Yeah. We won't let that snake get you!" "Which is why we're here," Nyx said firmly and determinedly, standing on the stage, "So, do any of you have the idea?" And just before anyone could answer, Cutie Mark Crusaders and Nyx heard the loud hissing and screeching noise, shocking and alerting them. "Uh-oh!" Cutie Mark Crusaders exclaimed in shock and concern. Spike yelped, "He's here! He's gonna eat me!" "Run for your life!" Nyx shouted in fear. Cutie Mark Crusaders and Spike screamed and panicked in fear and frantically. They all quickly exited out the clubhouse. They're running for their lives from the angry snake, who was chasing and going after them. As they come across to the small town, they split up, heading to different direction. Spike went with Nyx. Dragoking went after them both from behind. Nyx and Spike met up with Apple Bloom, who quickly took him and moved to another direction. He did the same thing with Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo and Jade. Whenever the dog meet up with another member of Cutie Mark Crusaders, he went and headed off to another direction for couple of rounds. This confused and annoyed Dragoking a lot to chase after them. Eventually, they're running away from Dragoking came to the end when Cutie Mark Crusaders and Spike arrived and rammed at each other in the middle of junction. They're all groaned and moaned painfully. They then found shadow loomed over them. They looked behind and found Dragoking was standing before them. Spike cried frantically, "Please! Don't kill me! I'm sorry for stealing and eating your food! I promised that I won't do it again! I promised! Please don't eat me!" "Uh, Spike, Dragoking was gonna apologize to you," Fluttershy's voice spoke, shocked and surprised Cutie Mark Crusaders and Spike. She and Twilight were on the scene. She continued, "We calm him down and told him that scaring Spike and taking revenge won't make him happy." Twilight nodded, "Definitely. So, Spike would be making up by cooking and making some food for him. That would be fair punishment, wouldn't you agree?" Spike chuckled uneasily, "That would be good enough. Sorry for eating your lunch." Rolled his eyes in annoyance, Dragoking sighed, "Fine. Sorry too..." "Thanks for the help, girls," Spike thanked. Cutie Mark Crusaders nodded happily. Nyx smiled, "Happy to help, Spike. After all, we're family." END... Review and Suggest...

They're using the Dragoon Armor Strike-I Gunship, flying and heading straight to Great Sphinx of Giza, Egypt. They landed their ship at the outskirt. Shorty and his team then entered its entrance of Great Sphinx's small entrance. Using their flashlights, they were searching and looking for the last Elemental Geode. They've been travelling for two hours within the historical pyramid, and found nothing. Rainbow Dash groaned in frustration, "Tell me that we're getting warmer. And please, no jokes about the climate! I am so not in the mood." "Really? Why would you come here?" Tailtech asked in annoyance, "Please don't say that you wanted out of history class." Rainbow laughed uneasily, "That would be it..." "Still, why here? Isn't this place supposed to be where Sun Harvester is hiding?" Shadow Dragon asked curiously. "No. The Harvester comes from the Great Pyramid of Giza, not Sphinx," Shorty corrected Shadow Dragon firmly and calmly, "And also, it's bigger and shaped as the pyramid." BEEP! Asami looked at her Magical Detector, "Looks like we're getting close to the area. And whatever it has plans for us, best be prepared." Ciel nodded, "Based on our studies on most of the geodes, we learned that each of them have one unique ability - Twilight's Levitation, Sunset's Psychic, Applejack's Super Strength, Rainbow's Super Speed, Rarity's Diamond Barrier, Fluttershy's Animal Communication, Pinkie's Explosive Sweets, Shadow Dragon's Aura Power, Blazefist's Overheat, Saber Dragoon's Storm, Terrorcreep's Nightmares, Aqua's Tidal Wave, Shorty's Healing, Laxtinct's Earthquake and Icy's Freezing Power. So, there is no telling what kind of the last geode has." Tailtech hissed, "That's what I'm afraid of. No telling what kind of power could damage." "I'm pretty sure we can handle it," Shadow Dragon said confidently. Rainbow nodded, "Yeah. We've got this. We beaten couple of monsters and villains. This is so nothing." "Don't push your luck. It's always best to be prepare for the worst," Shorty said firmly and calmly. He and his team stopped as they're now facing a large metallic door-like. He hummed in concern, "As I had expected." "Uh... I'm no tour guide but shouldn't this door be concrete blocks or something very old?" Rainbow asked in concern. "No, it shouldn't be," Asami agreed in concern as she used the Magical Detector to scan and check on the door. It made a loud beeping noise. She hummed, "This is definitely it." Noticed some scribbles on the walls, Ciel said in concern, "There's more! It's instruction. 'Be warn! Should you dare to claim the geode, the mind over swords shall guide you to claim the Chamber of Traps'." "What the heck does it mean?!" Rainbow asked in annoyance. Shadow Dragon sighed, "I'm lost too." "It's obviously test for Tailtech to overcome," Shorty said firmly. He hummed in concern, "But you can't do it alone. Mind won't be enough to overcome it." "You'll help me?" Tailtech asked hopefully. Shorty nodded as he gave the earphone to Tailtech, "I'll be eyes and ears. But you'll need a partner to help you out." "I've got fighting skills and Darkness Powers. Count on me, kiddo," Shadow Dragon said confidently. Rainbow scoffed, "I was thinking that speed is everything. I should be helping out." "Three minds are better than one," Asami commented. Ciel nodded, "Asami's right. If we combined our intelligent together, we can overcome whatever traps the chamber set up for us." Tailtech hummed thoughtfully, "I have to be smart to overcome this problem. It won't be easy..." Tailtech gave some thoughts of how he should proceed and handle the situation. Whom would he ask for partner to assist and help him to overcome the traps? Will he succeed or fail his mission? If Tailtech chose Rainbow Dash... After choosing Rainbow Dash as his partner, the pair marched and entered the chamber, where they're facing the complete empty chamber. Nothing but made of metals. This shocked and confused them both. "Really? This is the Chamber of Traps?" Rainbow asked in annoyance, "I was kinda expecting to be some kind of epic and dangerous traps! It would have been awesome!" Tailtech hummed in concern, "Just because it's empty doesn't mean it's not dangerous." Shorty's Voice spoke through their com-link, "Tailtech's right. It's best that you should be high alert and be prepare for the worse. There is not telling what kind of traps might have. There are the list of..." Rainbow grumbled in annoyance to hear Shorty's explanation. She turned her attention to the front, where she noticed the glowing geode ahead. She gasped in shock and surprise to see it. She couldn't have sworn that the chamber was empty. Nevertheless, she will get the job done in time if she get it now. "Hey, I'm gonna get that geode now," Rainbow shouted happily. "Huh?!" Tailtech asked in concern as he was distracted to listen to Shorty. He found Rainbow charged and sped through the walls. He even noticed the geode's glowed brightly. He yelped in concern, "Rainbow Dash, watch out!" The Elemental Geode of Metal glowed brightly as it blinded Rainbow's eyes. As soon as the light dispersed, she found herself skidded across the sinning solid yet slippery and wet floor. And at the same time, she even found traps were activated such as walls emerging and slamming, flamethrower, wind storm, water balloon shooting on and even fruit catapult on her. She yelped and screamed in fear as she struggled and barely dodged and evaded the traps as fast as she can, though got hit by fruits and water balloon for couple of times. Tailtech hissed and cringed to see her getting hurt a lot. After barely escaping the traps, she's close to the Elemental Geode of Metal on the stage. And just before she could reach it, the floor was vibrating wildly, making her nervous and scared. It then catapulted her off back to Tailtech's side. She groaned and moaned painfully. Tailtech sighed, "And that's why you don't charge in without thinking or even checking first." Rainbow groaned in pain, "Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Just give me a break." Tailtech turned and looked at the chamber, where they slowly disappeared and faded into metallic walls. He hummed thoughtfully and analyzed the situation, "I might have the idea." Tailtech explained to Rainbow of how she can get pass by the traps, and even get the relic as well. After the moment of discussing and planning, both gave a high five. Tailtech climbed and held on Rainbow's back as she began running straight to the Elemental Geode of Metal. The geode was glowing brightly as he's expected. They both quickly worn their radioactive goggles to prevent the light blinding them. They then saw the floor is slowly forming shinning solid floor with wet and oil on it. Rainbow then climbed and ran on the walls to dodge the slippery floor. More traps were activated. She jumped and hopped from one wall to another, evading and dodging the traps springing on them. Arriving on the stage, she was about to land on the floor. He quickly took out and fired his Typhoon Blaster on it, damaging the gears and prevented the trap to use against them. Rainbow has landed on the floor. She then put Tailtech down. He approached and took the grab on the grayish color of Elemental Geode of Metal. It glowed brightly, blinding them both. As soon as the light dispersed, both of them found everything is back to ancient walls. This shocked and surprised them both. "Wow..." Rainbow said in surprise. She squealed happily, "That is so awesome!" Tailtech hummed curiously, "I guess that taking the geode turned everything back to normal." Rainbow laughed happily while raising her fist before the young one, "We'd make a pretty awesome team, TT." Tailtech nodded as he made fist bump with Rainbow, "We sure did." "Tailtech? What is the status?" Shorty's voice asked in concern. Tailtech smiled, "Mission accomplish, Shorty. We've got the geode." Rainbow cheered out wildly, "We rock the world!" If Tailtech chose Shadow Dragon... After choosing Shadow Dragon as his partner, the pair marched and entered the chamber, where they're facing the complete empty chamber. And to their shock and surprise, they found a strange white scrawny manikin was standing still in the middle of the room. Both then looked at each other, with concern and uneasy looks. "What's the status?" Shorty's voice asked firmly. "We've found a manikin standing in the middle of chamber," Shadow Dragon reported to his com-link, "And he's just standing there and do nothing." "Do nothing?" Shorty's voice asked in surprise. "Yeah. He's doing nothing," Tailtech confirmed, "Please be advise." Shorty's voice hummed in concern, "I advise you to proceed carefully. Sometimes doing nothing means he's up to something. Whatever it was, do not try to pick a fight with it." "Shorty, he's just a manikin," Shadow Dragon said confidently, "He can't do anything." "Trust me on this, Shadow. You do not want to mess with it," Shorty's voice insisted firmly. Shadow Dragon muttered and mumbled in annoyance about Shorty's concerns about manikin. Tailtech laughed uneasily as he went and followed him from behind. As they were about to pass the manikin by, it then moved and grabbed them both. It swung around and around before throwing them back against the walls. They both groaned and moaned painfully. "What was that about?" Tailtech asked in concern. "No idea," Shadow Dragon groaned in pain. He noticed the manikin gestured him to come and fight it. He groaned in annoyance, "But that thing is so gonna get it!" Shadow Dragon managed to get up as he charged and engaged the manikin in a fierce fight. He tried to swung and slammed his punches at it. It easily dodged and blocked the attacks quickly and swiftly for couple of rounds. As he thrust his punch by face, it dodged down and tripped his leg to fall down hard. It jumped and slammed its knee against his stomach, making him yelled in pain. He then gave it a headbutt before pushed it off. He managed to get up as he engaged a fierce fight with the manikin, who easily and firmly dodged and evaded the attacks while fighting back at him for couple of rounds. Tailtech was about to help him but noticed something amiss on the manikin. He looked closely on it carefully. He then studied and analyzed it, hoping to find its weakness. Shadow Dragon struggled to fight the manikin, who continued dodging and evading the attacks for couple of rounds. Eventually, it grabbed and blocked the attacks for fives times. It then swung and thrust a punch on him for fives times before kicked him off by swiping kick. He got thrown back to Tailtech, who was studying on him. Shadow Dragon grunted in pain, "Thanks for the help, pal." "Sorry. I was trying to find its weak spot. And I got it," Tailtech commented proudly, shocking and surprising Shadow Dragon. He smirked, "Okay, here's how you do." After Tailtech explained the plans to Shadow Dragon, the latter looked uneasy and worried about it. Nevertheless, he nodded firmly as he agreed with the plans. He approached to the manikin, who was ready to fight. Instead of fighting back, he seated down and formed lotus formation as if he was meditating. It was shocked and surprised to see him not to fight back. It tried to threaten and mocked him to fight back. Instead, he remained silent and meditated quietly and calmly. Tried to threaten and scared him for a lot of times, the manikin became uneasy and frustrated as it was blow up its fuse. Unexpectedly, it literally exploded into pieces, leaving the geode on the ground. Opening his eyes to find the manikin is destroyed, Shadow Dragon got up from the ground. Tailtech approached to him. "Did not expect that," Shadow Dragon commented in surprise. Tailtech smirked as he took the geode from the ground, "The manikin was designed to annoy and fight anyone for its amusement. So, the only way to beat him is do nothing." "I don't get it." "Shorty said do not try to fight with it. And he's right. So, we ignore him." After some thinking of what his friend's meaning, Shadow Dragon chuckled a bit, "That's a good one. Kicker always said that 'The Greatest Victory is the Battle not Fought'." Tailtech smirked, "He's not wrong about that. We outsmart it." He contacted his friends, "Mission accomplished." If Tailtech chose Asami and Ciel... After choosing Asami and Ciel as his partners, three of them marched and entered the chamber, where they're found the chamber is filled with darkness. This shocked and make them uneasy. "Somehow, this is not gonna be easy as I thought," Asami said in concern. Tailtech sighed, "It never is. And whatever is inside, it's not gonna be good." "Shorty, advice?" Ciel asked, "The chamber is dark." "That can't be good..." Shorty's voice said in concern, "Be on guard. No doubt that there's an ambush in it. If you could somehow turn the tide, you might have the chance to find and get the geode." "Light the way?" Tailtech asked in concern. Shorty's voice sighed, "That's affirmative. Asami, Ciel, watch yourself out there." "Got it," Asami and Ciel replied. Tailtech sighed calmly, "Here we go..." Activated and using the flashlights to shine through the darkness; Tailtech, Asami and Ciel began marching and walking. While shinning their flashlights around, they kept their eyes out for any sign of Elemental Geode of Metal or even possible traps. Unfortunately, they couldn't find anything but empty of darkness. This frustrated and annoyed them. Suddenly, Asami got shot from behind. CIel was about to help her sister but got tripped and fell to the ground. Tailtech got punched by face. Three of them got attacked by unknown enemy troops. They're all struggled to get up and engage the ambush as they can't see and find them. They all stuck and remained close to each other, keeping their eyes out for the ambush, though they got hit and struck hard. "Dang it! If we don't do something sooner, we'd be dead," Ciel said in concern. Tailtech groaned, "How on earth can we deal with it when everything is so dark?! I mean three flashlights aren't enough to shine everything!" "Flashlight! That's it!" Asami exclaimed in realization. She grabbed two flashlights and even Typhoon Blaster from her friends. She mixed and mashed three flashlights and Typhoon Blaster and battery-like protons together. This confused and uncertain her team. She sighed as she readied with her new armored blaster, "I hope this works!" And just before anyone could ask, Asami blasted the Typhoon Blaster's lights and energy-like ball to the sky, creating and unleashing sparkling and shinning lights within the dark chamber. It even blinded and disintegrated the ambush. The chamber is lighted, and leaving the Elemental Geode of Metal standing and levitating in front of them. "Wow." Tailtech commented in surprise as he approached and get the geode, "How did-?" "Light the darkness, duh…" Asami commented playfully. Ciel laughed happily and relieved, "Glad to have you, sis." She contacted Shorty, "Shorty, we've got it." Shorty's voice sighed, "Nice work, kids."

The usual recess for the students for chatting, eating and drinking and doing their own activities. Flash, one of Blazefist's Prefect Squadron, was doing his job as prefect. He has caught a student named Crimson Napalm. He was writing a report on him. Crimson Napalm groaned, "Come on, man! Lay off! I mean, seriously, isn't it a bit too much?!" "Sorry, dude. I'm just doing my job," Flash said seriously and firmly while writing down on his notepad. He then placed it on the student's shirt. He continued, "Please, make sure that you get a clean haircut. The last thing you need is Mr. Blazefist to come after you again." Crimson Napalm scoffed, "You should look at the mirror before you say anything, dude." Though irritated and annoyed by the comments, Flash remained calm and firm as he gestured the student to move along. Crimson Napalm grumbled and muttered angrily as he walked away from him. "He does have the point, you know." The firm commanding voice spoke, alerting Flash to turn and found Blazefist stood before him. The prefect saluted firmly to him. He spoke calmly, "At ease, prefect." "What can I do for you, sir?" Flash asked calmly and firmly. "Nothing much, Sentry. Just need you to deal with your haircut, trooper," Blazefist said calmly, shocking Flash. He continued, "As the prefect, you need to be more professional and formal with both attire and appearance especially your haircut." "You're kidding me, sir?" "I'm dead serious, Sentry. As far as I'm concern with your appearance, you need to change your haircut. Otherwise, these students won't take you serious or even felt being unfair that you're the only one, who gets to keep this. The last thing we need is some complaints, making things more complicated and awkward." Flash sighed in annoyance, "Fine. I'll change my haircut." Blazefist smiled as he patted and ruffled the student's hair, "Good to hear, Prefect Sentry." "How on earth can I get a cool and professional haircut?" Flash asked in concern. "I'm sure you will figure it out," Blazefist said calmly. He turned back as he found three students working on something intriguing. He smiled, "I'm pretty sure your friends can help you out." Flash turned to the front, where he found students were working on their hair. Shadow Dragon was putting some gel on his hair, making sure his is very sharp and good. Sunset was humming happily as she was brushing her hair happily and calmly. While looking at the magazine, Rarity was trying and making various kind of hairstyle that is suitable for herself. Flash hummed thoughtfully, "You could be right. But which one who can help me out?" If Flash chose Shadow Dragon... After the school hours was over, Shadow Dragon and Flash heading out and walking down the Chinatown Street. They have arrived and entered his home - Tao's Antique Shop. They both were now at the study room, waiting for Mr . Tao to come out and help them out. "Thanks for helping me out, man. I don't know who else I can count on to solve my problem." Flash thanked his best friend. Shadow Dragon smiled proudly, "Hey, it's no problem. After all, we're friends." "Cool, man." Flash said in relief. He hummed in uncertain while looking around of his surroundings, "Still, SD, wouldn't you just lend me your gel to fix my hair problem?" "I could, but, I don't think this gel may work on you." "What do you mean?" "Let's just say that the gel I've been using is no ordinary gel. And it's not manufactured product also." Flash gulped in concern, "I hate to ask. What kind of gel?" "Magical Gel!" Mr. Tao's voice shouted as he and Mighty Heart arrived at study room. They also brought along couple of potions and ingredients on tray. He continued, "These gels have different kind of magic that makes your hair much more magical and special such as Shadow Dragon's hair being spikier and sharper as dragon's fangs." Shadow Dragon smiled as he touched and patted his hair gently, "Yup. It sure is." "So, why can't I use his? It would make me look good," Flash asked in confusion. Suddenly, Mr. Tao gave a whack on his forehead hard. He yelped in pain, "Ow! What was that for?!" "The Dragon's Fang Gel is for Shadow Dragon only! If you use his, there is no telling what kind of side effects you might have! The last thing you ever want is you getting bald or worse, turned into a mutated dragon!" Mr. Tao scolded angrily and firmly. He sighed calmly, "That is why Mighty and I are gonna study your hair scalp, and mix with our potions and ingredients, hoping that we might get the right one. So, therefore, whatever you do..." "Yeah?" Flash asked hopefully. Mr. Tao screamed out loud, "DO NOT RUSH UNCLE WHEN HE'S WORKING!" Flash yelped in fear while nodded in understanding. Shadow Dragon chuckled nervously and worriedly about it. Mr. Tao plucked and put few of hair strands into the small flask. Both he and Mighty began working and researching on his hair while experimenting and mixing up with the ingredients to get the right potion for magical gel. Once they get the potion, they then allowed him to use it on him. Unfortunately, most of the magical gel that Flash used came with unfortunate side effects such as turning him into a lizard man, blown by the explosion, got hair on fire, attracted animals to chase after him and so on. Flash groaned in frustration as he was calming himself down. He sighed, "I don't know if I can do this..." "Just one more gel. I'm sure this one will be it," Shadow Dragon said confidently. Flash sighed, "Somehow I doubt of it..." Mr. Tao whacked Flash's head, "Do you want Mr. Tao fix your haircut problem? Yes?" Flash nodded uneasily and nervously. He then shouted while shoveling small bowl of the bluish gel, "Then, use this last one before uncle lose his temper again!" Flash nodded fearfully and nervously. He turned and looked at the gel for the moment. He remained uneasy and worried. He turned and looked at Shadow Dragon, who confidently nodded in agreement. He sighed as he took and placed some on his hair. He then braced himself for the worst. Instead, he felt gentle breeze and calm on his head. Flash smiled as he began gently scrubbing and making his hair smooth and gentle as much as he can. Two minutes have passed, Flash revealed his new haircut, which is smooth and straight spiky haircut. He hummed calmly while looking at the mirror. "I like it. What do you think?" Flash asked. Shadow Dragon smiled as he gave thumbs up, "That fits you well." "Indeed. This gel is called 'Breeze Wind'. Fit for your hair and personality as being free and adaptable to changes. One more thing," Mr. Tao said firmly and calmly. Flash turned and looked at him. He shouted, "Do not doubt uncle again! Understand?!" "Yes, sir! I will take good care of your gel. Promise!" Flash exclaimed fearfully as he kept the Breeze Wind Gel close to him. He sighed while looking at Shadow Dragon, "Is he always like this?" Shadow Dragon laughed uneasily, "That's how he is. That's my dad..." If Flash chose Rarity... Rarity squealed happily, "This is perfecto! Truly perfecto!" Rarity has brought Flash to the Casual Boutique when he asked for her help to solver his haircut problem. Flash hummed in uncertainty, "I don't know, Rarity. You sure you know what you're doing. I mean you're fashionista. You work and design the dress, suits and costumes. Have you ever done with hairstyle or haircut before?" "Darling, please!" Rarity scoffed as she pushed Flash towards the makeup drawer with mirror. She put him to sit down on his seat. She continued with pride, "I've done something I'm not very good like cleaning the whole house with bare hands, being superhero to fight off monsters and even dating a scientist boyfriend of mine, which kinda defy the logic." "In other words, you'd never done it before?" "Well, it's a first time to do. And don't worry, darling, I can handle it." Still doubt and uncertain of Rarity's ability, Flash sighed in reluctance, "Fine. Just try not to make anything so embarrassing. I don't want to have a long braided hair. So not my type. Make sure it's spikier and awesome kind." Rarity smirked, "Don't worry, darling. I've got this." Rarity began working on Flash's haircut. She was cutting on his hair, putting some gel on it, blowing hairdryer on his and also messing and make-shifting with hair. She has make various types of haircuts for him - mohawk, mid taper, undercut, afro, comb over, slicked cut and so on. This annoyed and disappointed him a lot that none of them fit in him. He now has the buzz cut. "What do you think?" Rarity asked. Flash sighed, "Not good and awesome." Rarity groaned in frustration as she slammed her head against the walls for couple of times, "This is so frustrating! Boys! What's up with ridiculous haircut?!" Flash groaned, "I can hear that, Rarity. Don't you think the girls have ridiculous haircut too?" Rarity gasped as she turned and glared at Flash, "Do not insult me of my hairstyle, mister! Girls are very sensitive and particular with hairstyle! You cannot just make a simple ponytail or even cut them to shorts. Who does that?! You need inspiration and idea to get the right haircut!" She gasped in realization, "IDEA!" Flash gulped, "Oh boy! What are you-?!" Flash yelped in fear as Rarity began working on his haircut by cutting, putting some gel and even messing his hair for the moment. Aftermath, Flash's hair is now smooth and straight spiky haircut. She turned him to face at the mirror. "What do you think?" Rarity asked hopefully. Flash hummed curiously, "I like it! That is so me! Thanks, Rarity. Sorry about doubting you." Rarity smiled as she gave Flash a warm hug, "No worries, darling. It's what friends do. Plus, I do intend to win the hair-styling competition!" Flash groaned in annoyance, "I should have know about this..." If Flash chose Sunset... After telling Sunset about his haircut problems, she agreed to help out Flash with it. They were walking down the Canterlot Town streets. They have arrived at the barber shop. They're now were waiting and sitting on seatig rows. "Ah. So, why we are here?" Flash asked in confusion and uncertain, "I thought we're gonna solve my haircut problem?" "Uh, yeah, we are." Sunset answered in confusion and uncertainty. Flash was confused. She continued, "What? You'd think I would give some magical potion or doing some kind of awesome haircut for you?" Flash looked awkward and embarrassed by Sunset's question. He whistled innocently, "Maybe?" Sunset sighed, "Flash, not everything needs magic to solve some everyday problems like doing chores, farming, fixing and maintenance, playing video games, cooking and so on." She then showed her small cuts and bruises on her hand. She continued, "I have the proof that I don't need magic to deal with everyday problems. But hey, I even get haircut from here too." "Seriously? You get haircut from here?" "Well, yeah. What? You think I did the crazy haircut on myself? Please! I'd having crazy haircut with crazy psycho looks. Or worse, getting bald or mohawk! I hate that! Plus, I'm sensitive with my beautiful hair." Flash sighed as he patted on Sunset's hair, "You still beautiful. Even you might get a bad haircut." Sunset scoffed as she nudged Flash's shoulder, "Very funny, funny man. Let's see if you get some bad haircut! And trust me, you're gonna get a cool haircut." Touched and relieved by his girlfriend, Flash shrugged happily, "Well, I'll give it a shot. What's the worst could happen?" "Don't worry. It would be good and best one," Sunset said calmly. "Welcome to Iron Will's Haircut Shop! You've just come to right place for getting the best haircut in the world! Give the word, and Iron Will make the best haircut you need! No refunds if you don't like it! Make sure you get it right." The large blue muscular man with short dark navy mohawk and long hair wearing grayish singlet and black long pants, and apron. His voice shocked and scared Flash off for the moment. He approached and gave a friendly fist bump to Sunset. He smiled, "Good to see you, Sunset. Need a haircut?" "Nope. Flash does," Sunset commented playfully. Iron Will chuckled happily, "Don't you worry. Iron Will make the best haircut you ever seen!" Flash gulped, "Somehow I'm gonna regret this one!" Flash yelped in fear as Iron Will grabbed and put him on the chair. With the help of his assistants, he began working on his haircut by cutting, putting some gel and even messing his hair for the moment. Aftermath, Flash's hair is now smooth and straight spiky haircut. He then looked at the mirror. Sunset whistled as she paid the money to Iron Will, "Nice work, Iron Will. Gotta say. It's the perfect masterpiece!" Iron Will chuckled as he took the money, "Iron Will aim to please. Come back again." Flash whistled while looking at the mirror, "Gotta say. This is so me. Thanks, Sunset." Sunset smiled as she gave a nudge on his shoulder, "No problem. It's what girlfriend do. Just keep in mind." Flash sighed amusingly, "Right. Not everything need magic to solve everyday problem." Sunset smiled warmly, "Good boy." END... Review and Suggest...

They were chatting and discussing, wondering about what kind of surprise that Shorty and his sisters have stored for them. Some were excited and happy about it. Others were nervous and worried. Eventually, Shorty and his sisters have arrived via entering the control room's door. They even brought along the rectangle box-like with tarpaulin sheet covering it. "Greetings, everyone. Thank you all for coming here," Shorty greeted warmly and calmly. He turned and looked at his sisters. They both nodded firmly and calmly while holding tight on the plastic cover. He smiled in relief before cleared his throat, "Now without further all due. Allow me to present you all to my latest inventions! Our new battle suits!" As signaled, both Asami and Ciel pulled down the tarpaulin sheet down as they're revealing the blackish battle suit-like with armored chest, shoulder pads, battle gauntlets, knee pads and boots. Everyone awed at the battle suits' designs. Some were impressed and amazed by the designs while others were not. "So, it's a suit?" Rainbow asked in unimpressed with her crossed arms, "Seriously, Shorty. Don't you think we already have own suits when we used the geodes?" Pinkie nodded playfully with a giggle, "She has the point. And probably, the next few Equestria Girls Specials, we're gonna have new suits sooner or later!" Aqua approached and gave Pinkie and Rainbow a pulling ears very hard, making them yelped and yelled in pain. She groaned and glared at them, "You both need to learn how to listen and try first, then comment later. Or else, you're asking for troubles." "Sorry, coach!" Rainbow and Pinkie yelled in pain. Sunset hummed in concern, "They may have the points. Why do we need them? I mean we're gonna use the geodes and the transformation sooner or later." Shorty smiled calmly, "I'm glad you asked. Allow me to explain, this battle suit is not designed for some kind of fashion shows, but actually serve as both host and amplifier for geode's powers and transformation." His explanation shocked and surprised his friends. He continued, "That's right. By using the geode on your battle suit's collar, it helps you to handle and control its powers to fight and engage the enemies at battlefield. As for the transformation, it will power up your suit into battle armors-like and still armed with your elemental powers. And of course, it allows you magically to summon and use your own weapons to fight them. Interestingly, the battle suits won't be destroyed easily and also quite flexible." Applejack hummed, "That's nice and all, but how good is the suit?" Twilight nodded in agreement, "Have you tested it?" "Uh, no..." Shorty admitted sheepishly, making everyone groaned in annoyance. He continued, "But, with you all here, we can try out and see how good it really is? If there is a flaw, I will fix and improve it. So, who would like to try it?" "I'll be the one," Aqua volunteered, "I'm the toughest girl you can count on." "Can I try it? I would like to play with it!" Pinkie asked happily. Applejack nodded, "I wouldn't mind to try it first. I wanna see how strong with this suit is." Shorty hummed thoughtfully, "Who to choose?" If Shorty chose Aqua... Asami and Ciel helped Aqua to suit up. She grunted and grumbled a bit, feeling tight on her suit. She then found her suit's blank colors turned into blue colored, surprising everyone. She was impressed and amazed by it. "Blue is definitely my favorite color," Aqua commented happily, "Alright, I'm ready to surf." Shorty smiled, "Glad you like it. But let's test it out first. To training room if you don't mind, Aqua." Aqua nodded calmly and firmly. She exited the control room's as she climbed down the stairs and arrived at the training room. The room is completely blank with squared shapes on walls, ceilings and even floor. She took a deep breathe before armed herself for the fight. "Okay, Shorty. I'm ready! Give me the best shot!" Aqua challenged proudly and determinedly. Shorty's voice spoke, "Alright. Just remember, Aqua, the suit is just a prototype. I want to test its function and ability. Try not to go overboard like Rainbow Dash." "Hey! I can hear you!" Rainbow's voice exclaimed in annoyance. Aqua smirked confidently, "No worries, Shorty. I've got this. Bring on the baddies." As commanded, Shorty began pressing some buttons on his control consoles, summoning and launching the holographic forms of Dark Mystic Troopers. They all armed and aimed their blasters at Aqua, who remained calm and confident. As she stretched her hands out, she summoned her Tiger Claws. She charged in as she fought and battled against them fiercely and determinedly. Suddenly, she felt something shot at her from back. She turned and found more of Dark Mystic Troopers sniping and shooting at them from their distance and hidden blocks. She smirked confidently, causing her geode to glow brightly. She swung and deflect the blasts off while firing and shooting both Water Shot and Water Torpedo Shards at the soldiers. And at the same time, she fought and defeated most of enemy troops on the ground. As Aqua fought and battled the enemy troops bravely and determinedly, she soon find herself overwhelmed by more of her enemies. She grunted in pain as she struggled to fight and push them back as hard as she can, despite the Elemental Geode of Water was on her side. Eventually, she got swarmed and swallowed up by the large army of Dark Mystic Troopers. Everyone, inside the control room, gasped in shock and concern of what they just saw. And just before they could do anything, they saw a bright light glowing among the swarms of Dark Mystic Troopers. It then blasted off the blue colored beam to the sky while repelling and knocking them off, followed by the flooding. Within the blue light, it revealed Aqua, still in her battle suit, worn her dark bluish battle armor with chest plate of Tiger Clan Symbol and trimmed fur on edges, loincloth around her waist, armored gauntlets and boots, and tiger-like battle helmet is now armed with armored and fierce tiger claws. Her eyes were glowing in bright light. Everyone awed in amazement at the sights. Upon glaring at her enemies, Aqua gave a loud battle cry, causing the ground shaking and summoning tidal wave out, flooding and overflowing the whole chamber with enemy troops struggling to escape it. They all soon dissolved and faded away. Witnessing her enemies gone, Aqua slowly made the flood dissolve and submerged to the ground. And at the same time, her armor disappeared and returned her to normal. She took a deep breathe from fighting the enemies. Aqua smiled confidently, "How do I do?" "Incredible! Well done, Aqua. The battle suit's function works well!" Shorty's voice exclaimed happily, "Thank you, Aqua." Aqua sighed, "Happy to help, Shorty..." If Shorty chose Applejack... Wearing her battle suit, Applejack's now inside the training room. She then placed the geode on her suit's collar. Still waiting and feeling the power, she hummed in confusion and uncertainty as she doesn't feel any different. "Shorty, you sure that it's working?" Applejack asked in confusion, "I don't feel anything." "Be patient, Applejack. It will come around. It takes some time," Shorty's voice said calmly. Still unconvinced that her powers would come, Applejack sighed, "Fine. So, what's next?" "We're gonna take it slow, Applejack. The last thing we need is to have you get injured from your training," Shorty's voice said calmly and firmly, "We'll go from dumbbell to barbell to heaviest of all. Are you ready?" Applejack smiled while clenching her grip of fists, "I'm ready. Let's do this!" "Just don't push yourself. Let's begin!" Shorty's voice responded firmly. As commanded, the dumbbell appeared before Applejack. She scoffed confidently, grabbing and lifting up the dumbbell up for the moment. She put it down. Suddenly, more of dumbbells with different kind of sizes appeared. She smirked with a scoff as she began lifting them one-by-one at ease. Soon, they all were replaced by barbells with different kind of sizes. She lifted them at ease. However, she came across the difficulty. Starting with 15kg, she struggled to lift it up. Thanks to her geode's glowing, she managed to lift it up at ease. She then lifted up with the rest of barbells. Shorty continued sending more different items, furniture, tools, transports and more heavy items. As Applejack lifted them one-by-one again, her geode continued to glow brightly in orange color. As she struggled to carry a military tank, Applejack gave the loud battle cry, causing her geode to glow brightly. She was engulfed by bright orange light as she undergo the transformation. Her battle suit is now filled dark blue colored armor in Texas Style with crimson skirt, brownish gloves, golden boots and armored battle hat. She screamed out loud as she lifted the bus up high for the moment. She panted heavily before putting it down. "Nice work, Applejack! I've got the results. It works perfectly," Shorty's voice reported in relief, "And thank goodness that your back didn't get hurt." Applejack smiled while dusting off her gloves, "This is nothing. I haven't broken a sweat. I can do this everyday." "Well, better hope it's not the gigantic Cybertronian that you have to carry," Twilight's voice joked amusingly, "It might break your back." Applejack groaned, "Very funny, Twilight. Very funny..." If Shorty chose Pinkie Pie... After wearing her battle suit, Pinkie was bouncing and hopping around happily and playfully. She cheering and squealing out wildly. "Okay, okay, okay, Pinkie. No need to get excited," Shorty's voice said firmly and calmly, "This is just a test, not party. Try not to ruin the suit. It's a prototype. Okay?" Pinkie giggled, "Don't worry, Shorty. I'll take care of it. And then, we party hard!" Shorty's voice sighed, "Yes. We'll party later. Shall we get started?" Pinkie squealed happily and wildly, "I am!" "Just remember, Pinkie. Your power is creating explosion from some sweets," Shorty's voice said calmly, "Though it is your strength and power, there is a weakness in it. You won't able to find and use the sweets against the enemy." Pinkie groaned, "Party Popper..." "Fortunately, the battle suit is able to help you summon and create the explosive sweets at the enemies." "Really?" "Simple. By using your imagination, the battle suit would able to assist the geode's power to create explosive sweets to engage the enemies. But just remember, this suit's design for your geode's powers. Are you ready?" "Bring on the baddies!" As ordered, the army of Dark Mystic Troopers appeared and aimed their weapons at Pinkie. She screamed and panicked in fear and agony. She ran off for her life. They all chased after her at once. Her friends were in shock and disbelief of what they just saw, though they remained confident and hope that she would able to overcome it. As Pinkie was fearfully running for her life, she did her best to activate her geode's powers by imagining about the sweets she enjoyed. Her hands glowed brightly in pink color, summoning the sweets she liked the most. And at the same time, it the created explosive energy within the sweets. Seeing her powers have been activated, she turned and threw them at couple of Dark Mystic Troopers. They're all got hit exploded into pieces. She gasped in surprise and happy before forming sinister smirk while armed with her magical explosive sweets. Dark Mystic Troopers screamed and panicked in fear, running for their lives. Pinkie charged and chased after them as she was firing both Party Bazooka and Explosive Sweets at them. The more she used against them, the stronger and brighter the geode glowing in pinkish lights. Eventually, Pinkie's battle suit transformed into bluish armored dress with pinkish heart shape, purple blue colored armored gauntlets and boots, and has a yellowish large ribbon on her back. As she imagined the largest sweet on her hands, Pinkie unleashed the largest explosive sweet. She threw it upon them, unleashing powerful and deadly explosions. It engulfed everything within its pinkish light, blinding everyone. For the moment later, the bright light dispersed and returned to normal. Returned to normal, Pinkie was standing with dancing pose on top of defeated Dark Mystic Troopers. "TADA!" Pinkie declared happily. She then noticed something amiss. She found the whole training room was destroyed. She even found the control room was badly damaged as well. Her own battle suit was badly damaged as well. She looked awkward and embarrassed by it. She giggled uneasily, "Might have gone overboard..." Shorty's voice screamed in anger, "PINKIE PIE! I NEEDED THAT!" END... Review and Suggest...

Dragon Strike Force and Cutie Mark Crusaders headed off to handle their own school works and club duties. Seeing her friends helping and working together with her, Sunset began to recall the adventures and battles she has been through since the day Princess Twilight saved and reformed her for better. All: Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah Ah, ah-ah Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ahhhh Flashback: Since the day she was defeated by Princess Twilight and her Human Friends, Sunset was reformed and started befriending with Mane Six, Dragon Strike Force, Cutie Mark Crusaders and even Flash.

Twilight took out the SD Card from the camera, trying to insert it to her computer. Applejack helped and held Fluttershy up to get some boxes from top of cupboard.

They both smiled at the progress on publishing Year Book. They then gave each other a nuzzle on noses and faces. They both were about to give a passionate and romantic kiss. Sunset: In these pages, you'll last forever BAM! The loud bang has not just alerted and interrupted Sunset and Flash from kissing, and also the rest of their friends from working on Year Book. They all turned to the cornered window, where they found a young mint colored teenage girl with brown chocolate eyes and dark curly forest-like hair worn lighter and darker brown sweater with long sleeves and dark blue jean was sitting on the floor hard. The young girl groaned and moaned painfully while rubbing her butt due to her falling down from her computer chair. Sunset and Flash quickly approached to the teenage girl, checking on her now. "Hey, are you alright?" Sunset asked in concern. "I'm fine. Thanks for asking, Sunset," The girl commented softly. "You must be new around here," Flash said calmly and warmly. He and his girlfriend helped getting the girl up. He shook her hand, "The name's Flash Sentry. I'm Vice-President of Yearbook Committee. This is Sunset Shimmer - the President and Editor-in-Chief of the committee. So do you want to join? We could always use extra help." "Actually, Flash, she's been in committee all year," Sunset corrected with nervous and blush looks. "Really? She has?! Since when?!" Everyone asked in surprise and disbelief, "Who is she?!" The girl sighed in annoyance, "Here we go again. I'm Wallflower Blush. I've been in this committee since last year. And I've known you all since fifth grade." Almost everyone was clueless and uncertain of her claim, trying to think and recall whether or not they did meet her or not. Wallflower sighed, "Why do I even bother to say that again?" "Don't worry, Wallflower. This year is gonna change," Sunset said calmly while patted Wallflower's head. She shown the Yearbook and continued, "With this Yearbook, I'll make sure that everyone will never forget you." Wallflower smiled warmly, "Thanks, Sunset. You're a really good friend." "Well, I owe you a lot for comforting and helping me a lot since that day," Sunset said calmly. "Hello! That was my role, not hers!" Wheelie exclaimed angrily, "So, who is this bitch?!" "Wheelie! Language!" Sunset scolded angrily, scaring Wheelie. Wheelie groaned, "Sorry. So, who is she really?" Wallflower sighed in annoyance and frustration by people's asking the same question. Just before she could say anything, Sunset moved to the front as she began introduction for her. Sunset introduced Wallflower to her friends, "Everyone, this is my first friend - Wallflower Blush. She's the only student, who's willing to befriend me, and she gave me the second chance. And also, she's the founder and president of the Gardening Club. I was a member of that club too. I helped her out a lot with her gardening and studies while she helped me out when I was down and rejected by everyone else. I owe it to her." Wallflower blushed in red, "I-It was nothing. I didn't do anything special." Sunset scoffed as she patted Wallflower's shoulder, "Don't be ridiculous, Wallflower. I'm grateful of you being my friend." Wallflower has again blushed in red. Everyone awed happily for seeing her to blush as they considered it to be cute. "So, how come you didn't introduce her to us?" Twilight asked curiously. Rarity nodded, "I agree. I'm surprise that you didn't mention her to us." Wallflower blushed again while covering her hair on her face. Sunset sighed with nervous giggle, "Well, the thing is Wallflower is very shy and timid to meet people. I tried to encourage and ask her to meet you all. But she's... busy with... gardening..." Applejack scoffed amusingly as she turned to her friends, "Ain't she a quiet one?" "Yeah. And we know some pretty shy people." Rainbow asked amusingly, making her friends giggled amusingly, "Am I right?" Fluttershy looked surprise to ask, "We do? Who?" "Wait a sec! If she's your first friend, then what am I to you?! Chop liver?!" Wheelie asked angrily and annoyingly. He groaned, "My life is ruined!" "Of course not, silly Minicon," Sunset protested gently as she approached and held the Minicon up. She gave him a nuzzle by cheek, "You'll always be my best and closest friend I ever had." "REALLY?!" Wheelie gasped in shock yet happy. Sunset nodded. Feeling his optics swelling with tears, he cried out with tears of joy, "I'm not crying! I'm not crying!" Spike whistled, "Wow. Robots do cry..." Wallflower cleared her throat as she passed a piece of paper to Sunset, "Anyway, I counted up all the votes for the yearbook Superlatives." "Thanks, Wallflower," Sunset said warmly and calmly. The rest of her friends gathered around while looking at the vote result paper. She read it out loud, "'Most Likely to Succeed', 'Best Smile', 'Class Clown.'" She then gasped in surprise, "Ooh! We won 'Best Friends'! Applejack, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Twilight Sparkle, and me!" Pinkie squealed happily as she grabbed and hugged all of her friends, "I always knew I liked you all, but now it's official! In yearbook form! The people have spoken!" Fluttershy noticed a paper on the small table. She picked and lifted it up. She saw the picture of herself and Terrorcreep were dancing happily and passionately under the moonlight. Fluttershy awed happily, "I remember this one. This one is very special to me. That was the night we dance under the moonlight. I love it with all my heart. It was the best night." "YUCK!"Wheelie and Brains groaned in disgust. Sunset groaned in annoyance as she gave both of them a whack on their heads. They yelped in pain, "OW! What did I do?!" "Yup. That night you and Terrorcreep have been voted as the 'Best Couples of the Night'," Twilight commented playfully and happily. She groaned a bit, "Though I wish Shadow Dragon and I won that event..." Applejack laughed a bit while patted Twilight's back, "You'll get that chance for another time." "Applejack's right. It's just a competition." Rarity said calmly, "You and Shadow Dragon will get it next time." KNOCK! Everyone turned to the door. Fluttershy approached and opened the door, revealing Terrorcreep behind it. "Terrorcreep!" Fluttershy greeted her boyfriend. Both of them gave each other a warm hug. As they departed, she asked, "How is your day? I hope you're doing well with your dramatic act for your upcoming theater." Terrorcreep scoffed, "It was nothing special. Just the usual. So, are you done with some boring old yearbook? There's nothing special about it." Everyone gasped in shock and disbelief by Terrorcreep's remark. Did he just insult the yearbook? "Boring old yearbook?! Nothing special?!" Sunset asked angrily. Sunset then grumbled angrily and annoyingly like she wanted to punch at Terrorcreep. Luckily, Flash and Wallflower held her down tight, preventing her to do so. They then tried to calm her down. The vampire looked confused yet annoyed. Fluttershy and her friends sighed with his attitude and remarks towards the yearbook. Applejack groaned, "Now ya gone and done it!" As soon as Sunset calmed down by Flash and Wallflower, she then approached to Terrorcreep as she began explaining of why she's upset and annoyed by his remark towards the yearbook. "The student body has entrusted me with the responsibility of gathering their memories into the pages of this book." Sunset said firmly and seriously, "In thirty years, we might not remember everything, but we will remember what's in the yearbook. And of course, I promised Wallflower that her name, her face and her works will be in it. They will remember about her! I will make that happen." Touched by Sunset's sincerity and dedication, Wallflower blushed in red, "Aw, Sunset. Thank you..." Terrorcreep groaned, "Ridiculous..." Annoyed by her boyfriend's remark, Fluttershy nudged his shoulder and scolded, "Be nice, Terrorcreep!" "Well, I'm entrusting you not to put us next to 'Best Muscles'. Every time you close the book, it'll be like we're kissing Bulk Biceps!" Rainbow complained in annoyance. She then noticed Wheelie making funny kissing while Brains was showing off his muscle. She groaned, "That was not funny, boneheads!" "It sure is!" Wheelie and Brains cheered with crackling laughter. "I don't know about you, but we could use a break from this work," Flash suggested. He groaned, "And of course, not to think about 'kissing his muscle'. Who does that?" Rarity grunted in disgust as well. She cleared her throat, "Oh. Uh, why don't we take our picture at the beach on Saturday? Everyone's bound to look adorable." "And we can bring our guys there as well," Twilight added happily. "OOH!" Wheelie and Brains awed pleasingly with snickers. Heard the soft laughter, everyone turned and looked at Wheelie and Brains, who has weird smiles with perverted looks. They all know what they were thinking next. And they really hated it a lot. Sunset gave two Minicons a stern glare, "Don't even think about it, misters. Or else, I'll be sending you both to do pet sitting." Wheelie and Brains groaned in annoyance, "I hate it when she does that." Pinkie squealed happily, "Beach day! I'll make my world-famous fun-in-the-sun cupcakes." She then whispered to both Terrorcreep and Fluttershy, "The secret ingredient is edible sunscreen! It's SPF fun-hundred!" Fluttershy was disturbed and disgusted by her suggestion. Terrorcreep sighed in annoyance, "I hate beach..." "Why is that? You can't swim?" Flash asked curiously. Terrorcreep groaned while crossed his arms, "The sun's burning my skin if I just wear a stupid swimming trunks. And not to mention, I hate sands for blinding my eyes and dirty on my feet." "Dude. Try to relax," Rainbow commented amusingly, "We'll bring extra sun lotion. Or ask Shorty to whip up the super sun lotion for you." "Agreed," Sunset nodded in agreement. She turned and looked at Wallflower, "Wallflower, would you like to join with us?" Wallflower looked surprise and asked, "Really? Y-You want me... To go to beach... With you all?" "Yeah. Do you want to?" Sunset asked hopefully and sincerely. Wallflower hummed in thoughts with blush, "Well..." Suddenly, the door was opened. Everyone turned to the entrance, where they found Trixie marched into the room. She looked annoyed and angry like she's not satisfied with something they did. "The Great and Powerful Trixie demands to speak to the yearbook editor immediately!" Trixie demanded. Sunset sighed as she approached to Trixie, "Unfortunately for me, that's me. What do you want, Trixie?" Snatching the Superlatives paper from Sunset, Trixie was reading and checking on it. She scoffed in anger, "Ha! Just as I suspected! I was not voted "Greatest and Most Powerfullest"! Explain yourself!" "Trixie, that wasn't one of the Superlatives." Flash explained firmly. "Hmm. Neither was 'Biggest Meanie'," Trixie said amusingly with thoughts. She took the red yearbook from the table. Looking through it, she revealed the page with the picture of Sunset being mean and rotten brat to Sunset and her friends. She continued, "but that didn't stop you from winning it our freshman year." Everyone looked uneasy and nervous about Sunset being 'meanie' from middle school time. It wasn't pleasant for all of them. "Come on, Trixie, that was different. The whole school voted for her." Flash defended Sunset. Pinkie nodded, "She was soooooooo mean." "Not helping, Pinkie," Fluttershy said firmly. She approached and patted Sunset's back, "Whatever happens before, it stays in the past. You've earned the right not to be remembered that way." "Thanks," Sunset thanked Fluttershy. She turned to Trixie. She gave a stern glare at her, "We're not having a 'Greatest and Powerfullest' Superlative. Sorry." Trixie groaned, "Oh, you're the one who'll be sorry, Sunset Shimmer! When you least expect it, I'll have my revenge, and then I'll disappear! Like this!" She took out her smoke bombs, "Behold! The Magician's Exit!" Before Trixie could throw the smoke bombs, she got her forehead hit by a pen. And then more of stationary stuffs thrown at her. She yelled and screamed in pain and agony as she panicked and ran for her life, escaping the computer room at once. They all turned to their back, where they found Wheelie and Brains armed with various stationary stuffs. "And stay out!" Wheelie shouted angrily. Sunset gave a stern glare at him. He looked confuse and asked, "What?! She's annoying!" Sunset sighed while shaking her head in annoyance. She turned to Wallflower, "So, you want to join us?" Wallflower hummed in concern "I... I don't know." "Trust me, Wallflower. It'll be fun. Plus, the more friends the merrier," Sunset insisted calmly and sincerely. After thinking of Sunset's suggestion, Wallflower hummed, "I'll think about it. Thanks." "Alright, everyone, we'll finish the yearbook next week," Sunset gave firm order. Everyone chatted happily as they shut down the computers and packed up their stuffs. They all exited out of the picture room. Sunset then locked up the room. Mane Seven, Flash, Terrorcreep and two Minicons turned to left and headed off to meet up with Dragon Strike Force, Lance and Cutie Mark Crusaders for dinner and fun. The sad and lonely Wallflower was alone to watch Sunset and her friends to go off. She sighed in upset tone. She turned and headed off to right directioon, leading straight to the darkest hallway. After meeting up with the rest of Dargon Strike Force and having dinner with them, everyone was heading back home. With the help of Sideswipe's Car Mode, both Sunset and her Minicons returned to their apartment. While Sideswipe was sleeping under the garage, both Sunset and her Minicons were inside the bedroom. Wheelie and Brains were tucking themselves in their small metallic beds. They're sleeping peacefully and quietly while pervertedly dreaming about seeing girls in their swimsuits and bikini. And at the same time, Sunset was writing down on her journal, delivering the message to her pony friend - Princess Twilight Sparkle of Equestria. "Dear Princess Twilight, I thought you'd be happy to hear that the girls and I were voted 'Best Friends' in the yearbook today. After all, if you hadn't forgiven me, I'd still be the arrogant student I was when I left Equestria. You gave me the second chance I didn't deserve, and I'll never forget it. Your friend, Sunset Shimmer." With that, Sunset closed her journal before putting it on the table. As she turned the lamp's light, she turned herself in for a peaceful sleep. However, a strange yet crimson colored film reel-like was floating and flying across the town. It wasn't just one. There were more of them including other colors - yellow, orange, white, cyan, pink and lavender, coming from residents and town. All of them were heading straight to Canterlot High School, spinning and spiraling around its top part. They all then flew and submerged into the forest, where a strange yet colorful sparkling lights glowed brightly. On the next day, Mane Six have arrived and settled down at the beach, just as they planned from yesterday. The beach was packed and busy with beachgoers chatting and having fun there. The girls worn their own swimsuits – Twilight's was dark navy swimsuit with bikini and a sparkling star on it, Rainbow worn her surfing suit, Applejack's was a blue swimsuit with greenish and white stripes, Rarity's wearing a purple bikini with blue sarong covered her waist and a blackish hat, Pinkie's is pinkish-whitish swimsuit and Fluttershy worn a blackish scuba diving suit with blue stripes. Twilight was working and testing on her hoovering drone with camera for taking picture of her pose. After taking the picture, the drone flew straight to her for grabbing it. She smiled proudly and happily. "Group picture, practice run #36-A, attempt seven — success!" Twilight exclaimed happily. She then noticed her drone was wobbling and flying out of control. She tried to grab and get a hold on it as long as she can. She then noticed Applejack stared at her. She grunted and laughed uneasily, "Your eyes do not deceive you. I finally invented a selfie-sensing camera. It hovers into position whenever it detects a selfie opportunity." Applejack looked nervous and uneasy as she commented, "I prefer to take selfies myself... ie." While looking and analyzing at five white towels, Rarity hummed thoughtfully, "Which beach blanket should we use for the photograph?" "You mean the white one? Or the white one?" Rainbow asked in confusion. Rarity gasped as she lectured about the towel's colors, "This is toasted oat and linen lamb's wool. Eggshell, warm frost, pale nimbus, and..." She sighed while glaring at the last one, "Well, that one is white, I suppose." Rainbow rolled her eyes in annoyance, "Yeah. That's the one I was talking about." And just before Rarity could say anything, a gust of wind gave a gentle breeze on her and Rainbow but also blow one of white towels. Spike was busy digging the hole on beach while Pinkie was busy preparing her scuba diving gears. They both noticed the towel was flying and passing them by. "I got it!" Pinkie and Spike cried out. Pinkie and Spike chanted 'I got it' out loud while chasing after the flying towel. Unfortunately for them, they accidentally tripped and tangled on each other to fall on the ground hard. And at the same time, the towel fell on the shore. It was soaked wet with seaweeds and water plants. Pinkie and Spike sighed, "I don't got it." Suddenly, both Pinkie and Spike noticed the towel slowly standing up with strange breathing noise. This make them uneasy and scared as it was heading towards them. Pinkie gasped in fear, "Ocean monster! Ocean monster!" Pinkie and Spike panicked and ran behind Rarity and Rainbow. Everyone turned and looked at the towel-covering-figure marching towards them. It then has hands to remove the towel off. It revealed to be Fluttershy wearing and using scuba mask and breathing filter. She opened it up and speak. "Quincy the sea turtle says the tide's coming in. We should take the picture soon or risk having damp ankles." Fluttershy said in concern. She sighed, "Oh, he's so thoughtful." "Speaking of thoughtful, where are the others and my boyfriend?" Rarity asked in concern yet annoyed, "Shorty better not stuck in the lab, playing his new toys with his sisters and Tailtech again." "I hope Blazefist and Aqua don't get some last minute request to do from the school or Strikespell," Rainbow complained in annoyance. She groaned, "Man, that guy really need some serious time off…" "Hmm… You're not the only one. Saber's first person should be here," Applejack said in concern while looking around, "I don't see him…" Pinkie hummed in concern, "Has anyone seen Lax, Flare and Icy? I hope they brought some good food here too. No offense to Icy, but she really need to work on it." "This is strange… Shadow Dragon should be here too," Twilight added in concern as well. She then tried to call him but got her call unanswered. She looked confuse and worried, "Weird. He always answered my call, no matter how busy he gets." "Hey, Fluttershy, what about your boyfriend? Did he say he's coming or not?" Rainbow asked curiously. Fluttershy sighed, "I don't think he will. He does hate beach. I can't blame him that." "What about Sunset and Flash? Are they on their way?" Spike asked. Twilight hummed thoughtfully as she dialed down on her phone, "Good idea, Spike! I should check on them now." "Hey girls!" Sunset's voice called. Mane Six turned to their back as they found Sunset, Flash, Wheelie and Brains have arrived. Sunset worn a blackish bikini with small golden beads and yellowish sun on her swimming bra and has sunset themed sarong cover her lower torso while holding the bag with Wheelie and Brains on it. Flash was wearing a blackish swimming trunk with red and white stripes, and also wearing red Hawaiian Shirt. "Those are your friends?" Flash asked curiously. Sunset looked surprise and confused to ask, "Uh, yeah, Flash. They are. Did you forget or something again?" Flash blushed in red with cleared his throat, "Sorry. Just double checking. That's all." Sunset hummed in concern, "O… kay." She then noticed the drone was hovering around. She gasped, "Oh. Twilight, you got the Selfie Sensor working? Want get started?" "We'll do that later. We need to talk," Twilight said in concern as she and the rest of Mane Six gathered around with their friends. She continued, "We've got problem." "What's wrong? Is something wrong?" Sunset asked in concern. "Yes, Sunset, something's not right today," Twilight said in concern. Sunset was confused and uncertain. She continued, "When I woke up this morning, I greeted my family as usual and told them that I'm gonna meet up with the rest of you and my boyfriend. But for some reason, they behaved oddly and differently like I'm a stranger to them. After that, they're back to normal. Sort of." "Yeah. It happens to my side too," Applejack agreed, "I know Granny Smith can be forgetful sometimes but but forgets her own granddaughter? My own brother and sister almost slam like making an Apple Cider from basket. Then, suddenly, they're back to themselves. I think." "Me too!" The rest of Mane Four agreed in concern. "Huh. That's weird. Nothing wrong with my side, other than Minicons peeking on my clothes again," Sunset commented curiously yet annoyingly. She hummed thoughtfully, "Flash behaved strangely when I went to his house. He also acted strangely like forgotten about me and today's plans. Flash blushed in embarrassment, "I said I'm sorry." Sunset then noticed something or someone missing. She asked, "Has anyone seen Wallflower Blush?" "Who?" Everyone asked in confusion. Sunset sighed, "The girl you all met from yearbook committee. She is the one whom I promised that I'll help her get everyone remember about her. The very timid girl, who loved gardening." "Aw!" Everyone exclaimed in realization. They then answered, "Sorry, no. Nothing." Sunset sighed in disappointment, "Guess that she's too shy to come. I'll have to think another way to help her come out from her shell." "Not that's important, darling, but we have another problem," Rarity added in concern, "None of our boyfriends and their guys come today." Pinkie nodded as she tried to dial her phone, calling Laxtinct, "And also, we tried to call all of our friends but they didn't answer or call back. Sunset, something bad is happening to them." "I didn't bother Terrorcreep since he hated beach a lot," Fluttershy said timidly. "But still, what could this mean?" Rarity asked in concern. She gulped, "You don't suppose it's magic, don't you?" Rainbow hissed, "Hopefully not…" "I don't know. But we'll get the bottom of this," Sunset said firmly. "Speaking get the bottom of this," Spike said in surprise, spotting something behind Sunset, "I spotted Lax, Flare and Icy! They're over there!" Everyone turned and looked back as they found Laxtinct, Flare Tiger and Icy were chatting happily with each other. Laxtinct was wearing mint greenish swimming trunk. Flare Tiger worn a crimson swimsuit. Icy worn icy blue colored cutie swimsuit. Icy was making sand castle. Flare Tiger was collecting couple of shells on her basket. Laxtinct was relaxing and leaning on beach chair. Mane Seven and their friends gasped in surprise yet relieved, though annoyed that Lax, Flare Tiger and Icy didn't call them. They approached them at once. And just before they could do anything, Pinkie jumped and slammed on Laxtinct to the ground happily. "Laxtinct, you're okay! I thought something bad happens to you," Pinkie exclaimed happily. She then grabbed and held Laxtinct up. She shouted, "Where the heck were you?! Why didn't you call us?!" Laxtinct looked confused and scared, "What?! What are you talking about, missy?!" Pinkie gasped, "MISSY?! Did you call me 'missy'?!" "Yes…" Laxtinct answered fearfully. "Dude, don't you know your own best friend?!" Rainbow asked in disbelief, "You and her have always been best at making everything funny and fun. I mean you guys are literally the best funny buddies we ever have!" Laxtinct gulped fearfully, "Uh… No. Don't remember that." Mane Seven and their friends were in shock and disbelief by Laxtinct's answers. Flare Tiger and Icy turned their attention on them. "What's going on? What do you all think you're doing?" Flare Tiger asked. Icy nodded, "Yeah. Let Laxtinct go, big bullies!" "Bullies?!" Rarity demanded in shock and disbelief, "Why I would never-?!" "Flare Tiger! Icy! It's us - your friends!" Fluttershy insisted in concern, "Don't you remember?" "Do you know them, Flare Tiger?" Icy asked in concern. Flare Tiger shrugged, "I maybe random and funny girl, but I ain't stupid. I'm pretty sure that I'd never seen them before." "Seriously?! None of you remember us?!" Applejack asked in disbelief. She hummed in concern, "Am I missing the joke here?" Twilight shrugged, "I don't know. I really don't like where this is going." "Seriously, guys. Who the heck are you all?" Laxtinct asked fearfully and worriedly, shocking and scaring Mane Seven and their friends. Looking at Laxtinct, Flare Tiger and Icy being confused and uncertain while wondering of who they are have scared Mane Seven and their friends. "What is wrong with them?" Fluttershy asked in concern. "Amnesia?" Rainbow answered uneasily. "All of them?!" Rarity asked in disbelief, "I find it to be preposterous…" "But normally, amnesia means forgotten and unable to recall everything and everyone from past and now," Twilight explained in concern. She then looked at Laxtinct, Flare Tiger and Icy, "Somehow, I don't think it's short-term memories either. And I don't believe that everyone has the same effects." "No kidding." Wheelie agreed, "Not like we can just check and look through his memories to find out." Sunset gasped, "Wheelie, you're genius!" And just before anyone could ask, Sunset grabbed and held Laxtinct's hand tight while activating her geode's powers. She is now entering Laxtinct's memories, hoping to find out of what's really going on. Flashback Sunset is now looking through Laxtinct's memories. And most of them are completely identical from the event Mane Seven and all of their friends have been through. However, she noticed something different and unusual about them such as camping trip at Camp Everfree, battling mutated Nezha Vengito, teaming up with Autobots-G.I. Joe and Decepticons-Cobra against the Ancient Cybertronian Knights, the aftermath of Friendship Games, and musical showdown against The Dazzlings. To her shock and disbelief, Sunset found Mane Seven are fading away and disappeared from the scenes. Flashback Ends After looking through Laxtinct's memories, Sunset gasped in shock as she immediately and frantically let go of Laxtinct's hand. She then fell on the sandy beach hard. Twilight and Applejack helped her to stand up. She was filled with shock, horrified and disbelief of what she saw. "Sunset, what's wrong?!" Twilight asked in concern. "What did you see?!" Fluttershy asked in concern. "His memories… About us… Gone…" Sunset said in disbelief and horrified. Mane Seven and their friends gasped in shock. They turned and stared at the confused Laxtinct, Flare Tiger and Icy. She continued, "It's like we've been... erased!" Realizing and worrying that Laxtinct and his friends aren't the only ones to lose memories about her and her friends, Fluttershy gasped, "Terrorcreep. Not him too…" To Be Continued… Review and Suggest… > Remembrance (II) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mane Seven, Spike and even the Minicons were deeply shocked and disbelief while Flash became much more nervous and uneasy than before. All of them couldn't believe in their own ears of what Sunset has said. The memories of them have been erased from Laxtinct, Flare Tiger and Icy's minds. "T-That's impossible…" Twilight said in shock and disbelief. Applejack nodded, "I know. They can't have forgotten about us. Right?" "T-This can't be. This can't be real! This has to be a bad dream," Rarity exclaimed in fear and concern, "Wake up, Rarity! Wake up!" Suddenly, Rarity yelped in pain, feeling her skin being pinched. She turned and glared at Pinkie, who laughed and whistled uneasily while looking away. "Sunset, this has to be a joke! It has to be!" Rainbow exclaimed in concern, "Coz if it isn't, I don't wanna think of the worst thing happen to us!" Fluttershy nodded, "Please, tell me it's not gonna be permanent." "I don't know. I really don't know." Sunset said determinedly. She turned and looked at her confused Laxtinct, Flare Tiger and Icy. She clenched her tight fist, "But I'm gonna find out." Sunset was about to reach out to her friends. Fearing of what she might do next, Laxtinct, Flare Tiger and Icy yelped as they quickly backed off and moved away from her. She groaned in frustration. Suddenly, she has some thoughts before turned and looked at nervous and worried Flash. She realized that he was behaving strangely and differently since this morning. He realized of what she's thinking. Flash panicked, "Sunset, wait! I can explain!" Sunset quickly grabbed and gotten a hold on his hand. She is now in trances, entering and venturing within her boyfriend's mind and memories. To her shock and disbelief, she also found out that the memories of Mane Seven are slowly fading out including Flash's romantic date and love times with her. Shocked and hurt, Sunset let go of her boyfriend's hand. She slowly backed while disbelieved and heartbroken to look at Flash, who looked guilty, shame and scared. Mane Six approached to her. "Sunset? What did you find?" Twilight asked. Hurt and heartbroken, Sunset has tears flowing down on her cheeks as she said, "Flash also has forgotten about us too, and even me." "Oh no…" Fluttershy said in shock. Rarity approached and gave Sunset a warm hug, "Oh, Darling…" "Man. That is mess up…" Wheelie and Brains commented in shock and concern. Flash sighed while rubbing his head, "Sorry. I'm very sorry, Sunset." "Wait! If he has forgotten about us, then how come he followed us here?" Rainbow asked suspiciously and confusingly. Pinkie hummed thoughtfully, "Rainbow's right. Why?" Mane Seven awed in surprise yet realization. Despite forgotten about them, Flash was willing to follow them. "Why?" Sunset asked in surprise while wiping tears off. "When you texted me about reminding me to go to beach with you, I was kinda confused and worried about it. I checked and read my diary. I slowly remember a bit about you, all the adventures and date we've been through. It makes me realize that you and I were close. So, I decided to go along with you." Flash explained calmly. He sighed, "I was gonna tell you, but I didn't want to scare and hurt you for not remembering. I'm sorry." Sunset sighed in relief as she touched and patted Flash's face, "Aw, Flash…" "But what about Spike, Sideswipe, Wheelie and Brains?" Applejack asked. "I agreed with you all. They remember us. How?" Rarity asked in surprise. "Beats me?" Spike, Wheelie and Brains shrugged. "I am so confused…" Rainbow remarked in uncertainty Rarity sighed, "You're not the only one, Rainbow." Twilight groaned, "There must be rational explanation behind this mess. We need to find out how and why our friends have forgotten about us!" Applejack nodded, "Definitely. But we need to find out and check on our friends making sure they're alright, even if they have forgotten about us." Spike sighed, "Yeah. They didn't answer or call back…" Pinkie bounced and approached to Laxtinct, Flare Tiger and Icy. Three of them yelped in concern and fear as they remained vigilant and back off from her. "Guys, come on! You've gotta help us!" Pinkie insisted in concern, "Tell us that they're alright! Or maybe give us the hint where they are?" Laxtinct gulped, "Sorry. No can do. Besides, I don't even know you all. So, how do we know that you're all can be trusted?" "Please, Laxtinct," Fluttershy pleaded with her sad yet pleading eyes at Laxtinct. She begged, "I have to know where Terrorcreep is." Laxtinct yelped upon looking at her eyes. He quivered and shivered in fear as he tried to resist. Flare Tiger and Icy were insisting him to keep his mouth shut. Unfortunately, both Fluttershy and Pinkie gave the biggest yet cutest pleading eyes to him, making him yelled and panicked in fear. Laxtinct panicked and screamed in fear, "All of our friends got some serious job to do! Shadow Dragon's helping his master at the dojo. Aqua is at the school – coaching some students. Saber's helping out his family at the barn. Shorty and Tailtech were working on upgrading the weapons and arsenals. My brother said that he's got business to attend. And I have no idea where Terrorcreep is! He's gone silent since this morning! That's all I can say!" Sunset and her friends were in relief and happy to get some answer. Flare Tiger and Icy sighed while shaking their heads with his big mouth. Fluttershy was upset to find out that Terrorcreep wasn't found at all. Rainbow gave her a warm and comfort hug, reassuring her that they will find him. "Looks like we've got the answer," Wheelie said in relief, "What say we go and find them now!" Brains nodded, "Yeah. Get the gang together." "Hold up, guys. We still have no idea of how did they end up with forgetting about us…" Twilight said in concern, "Unless…" Sunset gasped, "It involved magic!" The rest of Mane Seven and their friends groaned in annoyance. Spike sighed, "Why am I not surprise about this? It's always the magic problem." "Now we know that it's the magic cause of everyone forgotten about us," Fluttershy said in concern. "How did you know about 'magic'? Only us and the government know about this." Icy asked suspiciously, Sunset and her friends lifted up their geodes to Icy. She gasped, "It can't be. How can you all have them?! They can't have the magic like ours." "You're kidding me?!" Rainbow asked in shock, "You all saw what Sunset did! She just looked through Laxtinct's and Flash's memories!" Flare Tiger and Icy looked at Laxtinct, who just shrugged in confusion and uncertainty. The amber teenage cowgirl took a look at Sunset and her friends' geodes again. "I'm still no convinced," Flare Tiger said firmly and seriously, "They're all look like some cheap knockoffs. Not that I can recall anything." Rarity gasped in disbelief and annoyed, "Cheap knockoffs?! Why I'd never-!" "Don't, Rarity. I don't think they're gonna listen and believe us," Applejack said seriously while looking at how serious and vigilant Laxtinct, Flare Tiger and Icy are. She hummed in concern, "Besides, we need to deal with this new 'magic problem' now." Sunset nodded, "Applejack's right. We need to know what we're dealing with." "But how?" Pinkie asked in concern, "It's not like we get some help from someone, who knows about magic. We handle it by ourselves." Giving some thoughts of what Pinkie has said, Sunset gasped, "Pinkie, you're a genius!" "I am?" Pinkie asked in surprise. "I know who can help us!" Sunset said confidently, "We'll be right back!" Sunset headed off at once. The rest of her friends followed her at once, hoping to know what she's attempting to do. "Don't hurry back, darling!" Flare Tiger mocked amusingly. "Hey! That's Rarity's line, not yours! It was not in the script!" Pinkie exclaimed angrily. Flare Tiger shouted back, "It's adaptation, dummy!" Pinkie groaned, "What is with somebody keep changing and making stories different than the original one?! Can't they keep it the same for once?!" "PINKIE!" Everyone shouted in annoyance. Pinkie groaned, "Coming!" Sunset and the rest of her friends have arrived at the underneath of the lifeguard's office. And just before anyone could ask, she took a familiar book, shocking everyone else while Flash was confused. Twilight gasped, "Of course! Good thinking, Sunset!" "A book? For what?" Flash asked. "You're kidding me?!" Wheelie asked in annoyance. "Wheelie, he forgot. Remember?" Spike asked in annoyance. "Oh, Yeah… My bad…" Wheelie said sheepishly. Rarity asked in concern, "Darling, are you certain that she can help us? What if… I don't know… She could have forgotten us, like others." "She can't be! She can't forget us!" Fluttershy protested, "She's the only one, who can help us with this problem now! There's no one else." Rainbow sighed, "Well, if we don't find out, we'd never know. It's a long shot." "I know," Sunset agreed in concern. She took a deep breath as she prepared to write down on the book, "Here goes nothing. Dear Princess Twilight, this is gonna sound crazy, but... you remember us? Are you, me and our human counterparts… friends?" Pinkie pleaded fearfully, "Come on. Please answer…" "If she doesn't, we're so dead," Brains commented in concern. After writing down on the book, everyone waited patiently yet tensely for the answer. And so far, no reply, making them worried and scared that she might not able to help them until… The book lighted up with magical glowing light with words appearing, shocking and making everyone relived and happy. "Of course, I remember! Our human counterparts and us are friends!" Princess Twilight's voice replied as the words were written out in pages. Everyone sighed in relief while cheered out happily. She continued, "Are you girls okay? What's going on?" Sunset replied back, "Kinda hard to explain. Might be easier in person. Well, not 'person', so to speak..." Her friends were shocked and surprised by her reply as they realized that Sunset's going back to Equestria to talk with Princess Twilight and get some answer behind the rest of their friends' missing memories of them. After getting dressed up, Sunset and the rest of her friends headed straight back to the Canterlot High School via the bus. Sideswipe, in his vehicular mode, was following them from behind. Arriving at their destination, they're now near to the horse statue. "Sunset, why not ask her to come here, instead you going back there?" Rainbow asked in confusion. She continued, "It would be a lot easier for us to explain and she can help us out. After all, she has the answers for this mess." "And if she doesn't have one?" Sunset asked calmly, making Rainbow uneasy and sheepish to think. She sighed, "Besides, Equestria might have the answer I'm looking for. So, Princess Twilight and I have to do some serious research to find it." "Then, what are we supposed to do?" Pinkie asked curiously. Rainbow scoffed, "That's easy. We go out and find our friends. Talk and knock some sense into them. And then, we go find and take down whatever cause this mess in the first place!" "No," Sunset protested firmly, shocking her friends. She continued, "Whoever removed their memories of us could also do the same to you all. I can't risk you all to find and deal with him. The last thing I ever want is my friends to lose themselves…" Rainbow shuttered in disbelief, "But-!" "No, she's right. It's too risky for us to find him. He might be suspecting us coming after him," Twilight said in concern. She hummed, "Still, it wouldn't hurt us to find and check on our boyfriends." Fluttershy nodded, "I'm still worried about Terrorcreep. If what Laxtinct said is true, he could be in danger. I have to be sure that he's alright." "It's still dangerous. Someone could be spying on us right now," Sunset said in concern and fear. Her friends sighed in disappointment. She hummed thoughtfully, "Alright, I supposed it wouldn't hurt to check on them. But you need something to prevent your memories from being erased." Sunset took and passed greenish emerald-like to Twilight. Pinkie awed in surprise, "Ooh! What's that?" "Magical Barrier Emerald," Sunset explained calmly, "This will help and protect you from any kind of magic attacks including your memories from being erased. Still, you need more protection if they find out about this." "Leave to Sideswipe and us! We'll keep them safe," Wheelie said confidently. Brains nodded, "Yeah. You can count on us." Rarity sighed, "Somehow, I'm not convinced by these two…" "Don't worry, Sunset. We can handle it," Applejack said firmly and calmly, "Get some answers from the princess." Sunset nodded firmly, "I will. I'll be back soon. Be safe." Mane Six waved goodbye and wished Sunset luck. Flash approached and gave his 'girlfriend' a warm and gentle hug. She hugged him back. As they departed, she marched and entered the statue's base, entering the portal. Mane Six and their friends headed off to find their boyfriends, checking and making sure that they're alright. And at the same time, they have to keep their eyes out for the person, who is responsible of their friends' memories erased about them. Through the portal, Sunset has arrived at the Castle of Friendship's library. Though as pony, she stood like a human. She spotted Princess Twilight standing before her. She was smiling happily to see her friend returned home. "Twilight!" Sunset exclaimed happily. As she was walking down the steps, Sunset yelped in surprise as she lost her balance of standing still. She almost fell on Twilight, who quickly held her before bringing down. "Sunset?" Princess Twilight asked in surprise. "Oops!" Sunset laughed nervously, "I was trying to hug you." Both ponies gave each other a warm and gentle hug for the moment. They then departed as they're now having some serious discussion. "So, what's been happening?" Princess Twilight asked in concern. Sunset explained the situation that she and her friends were facing and dealing with. She hummed in concern, "This is bad, Sunset. It's way beyond anything I've ever heard of. Although..." "What?" Sunset asked in concern. "I just had an idea. But I'm not sure that if you want to do it." "I'll do anything to help my friends get everyone back, Twilight." "There is one pony who might be able to help," Twilight explained calmly, "but I don't know if you two want to see each other after the last time you returned back to Human Realm for making up your mess." Realizing of whom Twilight was referring to, Sunset looked concern and scared to say, "Oh…" While searching and checking on their boyfriends and friends' conditions, Mane Six stayed close together, so they won't get picked up and have their memories being erased. Spike was inside Twilight's bag pack while Wheelie and Brains were inside of Fluttershy's. They're now at Kung Fu Dojo, Canterlot Mall. They then spotted Shadow Dragon was teaching and training some of the students on martial art skills. Master Zhao Long was supervising and overseeing the training sessions. And just before the girls could do anything, Twilight rushed and gave her boyfriend a warm hug, shocking and alerting him and others. "Shadow Dragon! You're alright! I was so worried about you!" Twilight cried tearfully. Departing from hugging him, she asked, "You remember me, right?" "Uh… No, I don't." Shadow Dragon admitted in concern yet suspicious. This shocked and made Twilight heartbroken. He demanded firmly, "Who are you? How do you know my name?" "I-! You-! You don't remember me?" Twilight asked in heartbroken. Shadow Dragon shook his head firmly. She sighed with sad looks. She turned away from him, "Sorry for bothering you. I… I just want to check on you." "Why? We only just met…" "If only you knew that isn't true, Shadow Dragon. But can you do me a favor?" "I… I don't know…" "Please, all I ask is you try to remember me. Try check on the photos or reports about us. Can you do that?" Still not certain yet concern of his request, Shadow Dragon sighed, "I'll check it out. But I need your contact." Twilight nodded as she wrote down her phone contact number on her 'boyfriend's hand, "Of course. Please call me that you remember about me." "I'll try," Shadow Dragon nodded. Twilight returned to her friends. Just before they could ask, she cried tearfully in sad and hurt. This prompted Applejack to hold and hug her warmly. They then moved at once. And at the same time, Shadow Dragon could only glance at them while wondering of who they are yet why he was conflicted and confused about it. Mane Six and their friends arrived at Canterlot High School's soccer field, where Aqua was training and coaching the students on playing soccer. Rainbow sighed happily to see her coach's alright and coaching. They then took a break from training. The students chatted happily and calmly while drinking their drinks. Aqua was stretching and warming down. She then spotted Rainbow approached her. "Hey there. Looking for signup or something?" Aqua asked curiously. "Well… I…" Rainbow said in worried yet nervous while rubbing her head gently. Aqua looked at her curiously. She sighed, "I don't suppose that you and I can have one-on-one playing soccer?" The students gasped in surprise and shock by her proposal. Mane Six groaned in annoyance by Rainbow's thinking. "Really? Aren't you confident?" Aqua asked in surprise yet intriguing. Rainbow nodded firmly. She smiled, "Alright, kiddo. You asked for it. Don't try get cocky." Rainbow smirked a bit, "No worries. I won't." Aqua smirked, "First to score 5 points. Starts now!" Throw the soccer ball out, Aqua quickly kicked it off to the field. She charged straight to the field, prompting Rainbow to go after her coach. Both of them played the soccer fiercely and determinedly. They both tried to tackle or get over each other's defense and scoring the goal. They're both equally matched and scored the same scores. Aqua has the soccer ball on her legs, but her path was blocked by Rainbow. While keeping an eye on the ball, the coach smirked as she kicked it through the athletic girl's middle. She then ran over her before charged straight to the goalie. And just before Aqua could score, Rainbow jumped and thrust her kick at soccer ball. She then ran off at once while being chased by her coach. Reaching to the goalie, Rainbow halted at once before kicked it up high. She then jumped and performed back flip to kick the ball straight to the goalie, scoring the score. Everyone went wild. Rainbow smiled happily as she turned and looked at Aqua, who was both shocked and impressed. Aqua whistled, "Wow. That's something. You've got some moves, kid. Kinda remind me of something…" "Really?" Rainbow asked hopefully. "Yeah. You kinda remind me of myself when I was a kid." Aqua exclaimed proudly, disappointing Rainbow. She smiled, "I got some serious moves. It was awesome. So, maybe you should join the club." Upset to see her coach didn't remember her move, Rainbow sighed, "Maybe." Aqua patted Rainbow's back, "Think about it. I'd be happy to have you on my team. After all, Canterlot Wondercolt could use your talents. I'd be happy to train you." "Yeah, sure." Rainbow nodded disappointingly. She sighed, "Thanks, coach." Aqua smiled warmly. She turned and blew the whistle, alerting and prompting the students back to the line. She continued coaching and training them. Mane Six were about to talk with Rainbow. She just ran passed them. And at the same time, she was crying tearfully. She was hurt and heartbroken that her coach couldn't remember her. Fluttershy approached and gave her best friend a warm hug. Mane Six were now inside the school hallway. They approached to Shorty's Locker. Rarity took out her access card, swinging against the locker's card slides-like to access it. To her shock and disbelief, she has been denied. She kept swinging to access it, much to her frustration. This makes the rest of her friends nervous and worried. Suddenly, a security camera popped out from the wall. It glared at Mane Six. "What do you think you're doing?!" Shorty's voice asked angrily, "Are you trying to break in?!" "No! We're trying to access to your lab," Rarity explained firmly. "Ridiculous! I don't remember I gave an access cards to anyone else than my friends. In fact, I wouldn't give an access card to some spoiled brat like you!" "Excuse me?! Did you insult me?! Did you call me 'spoiled brat'?!" "Isn't what you are?!" "I'll have you know, Mr. Shorty Thinking! If not for me, you wouldn't able to create 'Anti-Magic Cure' for some wild magic from Camp Everfree!" "That's absurd! I don't recall that. You're bluffing!" Shorty's voice exclaimed in annoyance, angering Rarity. He continued, "I don't know who you all, but I don't appreciate your rude behavior at my lab. So leave now before I call the security." Boiling up in anger, Rarity screamed in anger, "That does it! Somebody needs to teach you a lesson!" Rarity screamed in anger while trying to bang against the locker. This prompted her friends to pull and drag her away from it before she could cause some troubles. "Man, someone got issues," Tailtech's voice commented, "And I meant you, Shorty." Shorty's voice groaned, "Shut up, Tailtech." Saber was at the stable as he was showering farm animals and also cleaning their stables. He then approached to the Red Hare's stable, where he found Applejack stood before him. "Uh, can I help you?" Saber asked in surprise. "I think you mean 'can I help you'?" Applejack corrected him. She cleared her throat, "You wouldn't mind me helping you?" "Sure. By all means, Red Hare can be very stubborn and troublesome when it comes to bath. He hates it." "So, I've heard." Using the hose, Applejack shot its powerful water on Red Hare, making the horse neighed in annoyance and frustration but held by Saber. They both then put and brushed some soap on him before washing and cleaning him properly. He was sparkling clean. Saber whistled, "Wow. He's clean as the whistle. Thanks for the help." "Sure," Applejack said calmly. And just before Saber could go, she spoke, "Saber. Can you help me with something?" Saber turned and looked at Applejack, "Sure. What is it?" "If I told you an honest truth, would you believe in me?" "I don't understand. What's exactly is your honest truth?" "Saber… You and I aren't some random strangers. W-we were close friends and family," Applejack said firmly and calmly. It shocked and confused Saber. She continued, "I know you won't believe it but it's the truth. I'd never lie to anyone especially to you. You and I were very close. I… I care for you like a brother." Still shocked and disbelief by Applejack's claim, Saber turned and ran away from her. Applejack was shocked and hurt yet expected. She did her best to hold her tears while not thinking of going after him. Twilight approached and gave her best friend a warm and gentle hug, prompting to cry and hug her back. The rest of her friends sighed to see her upset. Mane Six and their friends have been gathered at the Central Park for more discussion about the latest situation they're dealing with now. They're disappointed but much more upset and heartbroken to find out about their friends and boyfriends have truly forgotten about them. Feeling worried and sympathy for them, Flash spoke, "I'm sorry about this, girls. I really am." Mane Six remained silent. He cleared his throat, "But at least, they're alright, right?" "Not everyone," Fluttershy said tearfully, "There is no sign of Terrorcreep. And even we did find him, he would have forgotten about me…" "Not to mention, there's no sign of our bad guy too," Rainbow grumbled, "I really wanna punch his face." Twilight tried to access her computer but it made some 'deny noise'. She groaned in frustration, "Damn it! I can't access to the Imperial Phoenix Database. My User ID has been denied like I'm not part of it." She snarled in frustration, "I mean! Can you believe it?! Me?! Denied?! I am the best student and apprentice to Azure Phoenix?! And no one denied me to access it!" "Could be worse, Twilight," Applejack remarked calmly. "But that's not the worst of all," Twilight said in concern. Using different kind of access, she spoke seriously and concernedly, "When I used Blazefist's Access, I couldn't find any information about us! No birth certificate! No of our geology records! No school records! No job records! And our websites we created gone! It's like we don't exist." "WHAT?!" Rarity asked in shock as she looked at the computer screen. She screamed in agony and dramatically, "Noooooooooooo! Of all the worst thing that could happen! THIS! IS! THE! WORST! POSSIBLE THING!" Pinkie groaned, "What are we gonna do now?!" "To be honest, I have no idea. If Saber's with us, we could have solved this mystery of our problems, in no time." Twilight said in disappointment. She yelped in realization. She turned and found Applejack upset. She hissed, "Sorry, Applejack! I-!" Applejack sighed, "It's okay, Twilight. To be honest, I would have thought that he'd be suspicious and realize that something amiss and help us out. I mean he is the 'detective', after all." "So, that's it? We give up?" Wheelie asked in disbelief. He scoffed, "Some hero you turned out to be!" Brains nodded in agreement, "Yeah. No kidding. Thought you've got some serious idea." "You've got?" Spike asked in annoyance. Wheelie and Brains shrugged. He groaned, "Sure wish we had some great help to solve this mess." "Funny. I was about to ask the same thing too," The firm and serious voice spoke. Mane Six and their friends looked up and found Blazefist stood before them. They were shocked and surprise yet uneasy about him. They wondered if he remembers about them or not. "Hey, Blazefist," Rainbow greeted uneasily. She gulped, "What's up?" "So, you know my name?" Blazefist asked suspiciously, making the girls uneasy and worried. He hummed, "I knew it! Glad that you didn't lose your memories." "Really?!" Mane Six and their friends asked in surprise. "How?" Twilight asked in surprise. Taking out and passing the documents to the girls, Blazefist nodded, "Yeah, I do. These are the documents I kept in my house's safe. I've also double check on any mission we're doing or to make sure I record all the details of my team and students. And also, I have the picture of my team and yours in it too." "Cool!" Rainbow exclaimed happily. She looked surprise, "Wait! You kept the picture in the safe? Why would you do that?" Blazefist explained calmly, "For family protection, duh." He cleared his throat, "Anyway, you want to find Terrorcreep? I've got his coordinates!" "You do?!" Fluttershy asked hopefully. Blazefist nodded as he took the computer from Twilight. He then typed on the keyboards, accessing and zeroing the coordinates of Terrorcreep's. Everyone looked at it. They all looked confused yet curious. "Uh? Where is that?" Rainbow asked. Rarity hummed, "It is close to Manhattan, but a bit further from here too." Fluttershy gasped in realization, "I know this place! I know where he is!" Back to the Equestria, Princess Twilight and Sunset headed straight to the Canterlot Castle. They're meeting up with Princess Celestia and Princess Luna for their help and assistance. They're now inside the hallway to the throne chamber. And just before they could enter, the doors opened in two, revealing Jade Emperor, Nezha, Death Tactic and five Elite Mystic Royal Guards marched out at once. But not before they bowed in respect and humble to Princess Twilight and Sunset, they returned the bow to them. As Jade Emperor and his bodyguards were leaving, Nezha stopped as he glared at both of them. He raised his eyebrow at Sunset while sniffing on her. Princess Twilight cleared her throat, "It is very rude to sniff on my friend, you know?" Nezha scoffed, "Well, I'm keeping an eye out for my family after what the Humans have done to me. And you should do the same with your Human Student of yours." He hummed suspiciously while looking at Sunset, "There's something different about her. She smelled like mortal pony. Odd…" "Don't you have your project to work on?" Princess Twilight asked in annoyance. Nezha groaned, "Whatever. I still think that your 'Festival of Friendship' will never work!" Nezha grumbled as he turned and headed off to return and accompany his grandfather and others. They're returning to Mystic Realm. "Twilight? Why is he still here?!" Sunset asked in concern, "Didn't I tell you how dangerous he can be?" Princess Twilight sighed, "I know, Sunset. I've warned the Princesses and the Emperor about him and his possible yet dangerous ambition. They waved my concerns away. They told me that they'll make sure that he won't go too far. Plus, the Emperor is too powerful for him to handle." Sunset sighed shaking her head, "Twilight, he will find a way to exterminate mortals especially the Humans. Just be prepare to take him down." "I will. We'll handle him." Princess Twilight said calmly as she open the door, "Let's go. We have the teacher to meet with." "I hope she's willing to forgive me," Sunset said in concern. Twilight smiled, "Sunset. She has forgiven you. After all, to her, you're like a daughter to her." Sunset smiled warmly and relieved by her friend's cheering up. Both her and Twilight marched into the entrance, where they're facing the Royal Sisters, who are sitting on their seats. Princess Celestia gave the stern glare at them while Princess Luna remained silent to see the scene. Seeing her former mentor's glaring at her, Sunset became nervous and uneasy. Standing before the Royal Sisters, Princess Twilight nervously smiled and spoke, "Sooo, Princess Celestia..." She gave a nervous laughter a bit, "You'll never guess who's back! Actually, maybe you can guess, 'cause she's right here. But, um..." Princess Twilight stopped as she found Princess Celestia remain firm to glare at Sunset. She gulped fearfully. And just before she could say anything, Sunset moved to the front, facing her former mentor. Sunset sighed a bit before continued, "Princess Celestia, the last time we saw each other, I was your snide little pupil who betrayed and abandoned you." "I wouldn't have said it that way." Princess Twilight whispered nervously to her friend. She then cleared her throat, "What Sunset means to say is-!' Sunset interrupted, "I mean that I come before you a changed pony, humbly asking for forgiveness, guidance, and knowledge." Princess Celestia remained silent while looking at Sunset. She then climbed down the stairs while approaching to her. The amber unicorn gulped in fear and worry to face her now. "Or I can just go, and you never have to see me again." Sunset said fearfully. And just before Sunset could react, Princess Celestia held her student's face to look at her. Instead of her stern and stoic glare, she gave sad and sympathetic smile, "I've missed you, Sunset Shimmer. I've already forgiven you since the day Princess Twilight freed you from Human Sombra's control." Touched and happy to see her teacher forgave her, Sunset sniffed a bit, "I... I'm so sorry." Both Princess Celestia and Sunset gave each other a warm and passionate hug. Princess Twilight squealed happily to see them hugging together. Sunset then explained the situation to the Royal Sisters. Princess Celestia looked concern and uneasy to say, "I am not familiar with the exact spell that could have erased your allies' memories. But it sounds like Equestrian magic is at work in your world." Princess Luna hummed a bit, "Hmm. Indeed. The toilings of this nefarious enchantment could portend unimaginable catastrophe if left unchecked." Hearing Princess Luna's speaking has make Sunset stifled her giggles. This prompted Princess Twilight to slap her wings at her waist, despite her also giggled. Princess Luna noticed their behavior. "I'm just used to hearing you say no student parking in the faculty lot." Sunset laughed nervously, "Heh-heh." "This 'faculty lot' you speak of sounds like a place of great power." Princess Luna remarked seriously. Amused by Princess Luna's remarks about 'faculty lot', both Princess Twilight and Sunset gave a soft giggle about it. She has no idea of what it really does. "I don't suppose that we go to library for research and get some answer?" Princess Twilight asked curiously. "Indeed, Twilight. But…" Princess Celestia said uneasily, alerting Princess Twilight and Sunset. She continued with nervous looks, "I'm going to have a visitor soon. But don't worry, she's going to help us out with this. Her wisdom has some funny ways to show." "Her wisdom? Funny ways to show? What is that?" Sunset asked in confusion. Realizing of whom Princess Celestia was referring to, Princess Twilight gulped, "Oh no! Please, not her! Anyone! Azure Phoenix! Tao! Ice Queen! Anyone! But not her!" "Who, Twilight?" Sunset asked in confusion. BANG! The door was opened in two, revealing the appearance of Yuko the Black Witch in her reddish casual small shirt with long sleeves and grayish-black pants. She gave the loudest cheers. "Surprise! Your very odd Godmother is in the house!" Yuko cheered out wildly and happily, "Who's ready for the party?!" Princess Celestia and Princess Luna cheered and greeted her warmly and happily. Princess Twilight groaned in annoyance before slammed on the floor hard. Sunset was confused and uncertain. "What's going on?" Sunset asked in confusion. Twilight groaned, "My worst nightmare!" Yuko noticed a Sunset standing beside Twilight. She jumped before her. She grabbed and held Sunset's cheek very hard, "Why hello there, my little human from the Human Realm! Who is the cutest little baby here?!" "Cutest?! Little?! Baby?!" Sunset asked, feeling offended. Princess Celestia giggled, "That's my former student – Sunset Shimmer." Yuko gasped as she dropped Sunset down. She then gave the glare at worried and nervous Sunset, "You mean this cutest little baby is actually a spoiled and rotten brat that caused you a lot of pain to the ass?!" "That would be her," Princess Celestia confirmed. "Young lady, I have a thing to say to your face," Yuko said seriously and dryly at Sunset, who gulped in fear. She cheered and squealed happily as she hugged Sunset tightly, "You're indeed the cutest baby I ever seen in my life! I loved babies especially the humans! I love the humans! They're the cutest being I ever seen! I loved pinching their faces and even dressed them whatever I want!" Sunset groaned in pain, "I can see why you're scared of her! She's so scary!" Princess Twilight sighed, "You have no idea…" "Ms. Yuko, I'm glad you come for the usual tea time but we need your help," Princess Celestia said seriously, earning her godmother's curious looks. She continued, "This involved of a spell that erased the memories of Sunset and her friends from everyone's mind." Yuko gave her serious and dry looks, "I see. In that case, I will help." "Really?!" Sunset and Princess Twilight asked in surprise. Yuko nodded firmly, "Yes, I am. And I have the answer to your problems. It will save and return the lost memories to your allies and loved ones." "Wow… I didn't expect that…" Princess Twilight commented in surprise. "Huh? Why?" Sunset asked. Princess Twilight answered, "Because she hasn't been serious since my friends and I started to hunt on the Elemental Elements." Sunset looked shock and concern to say, "Wow… Looks like I'm about to get some answers now…" With the help of Blazefist's assistance, Mane Six and their allies travelled to northern direction. They left Sideswipe behind, waiting for Sunset's return. They arrived at their destination – the forest of scary and dead trees and bushes. It scared and shocked the girls. Took them for three hours to travel, they're all arrived at the ruined yet scary and haunted mansion. Mane Six and their friends quickly get inside the mansion. They're taking some breathe and relax from being scared. "That was terrifying!" Rarity exclaimed in fear. She then looked around of her surroundings. She hummed in concern, "What is this place?" Twilight nodded, "I'd never seen this place before." "Yeah. But unlike some friendly haunted house, it's gotta be scary and freaky I ever seen," Pinkie commented in shock and fear. "This mansion used to be owned by the rich and noble family called The Vlad Family. It's where Terrorcreep and his parents belong to," Blazefist explained firmly, shocking Mane Six sans Fluttershy. He continued, "And it is also where the family dies too including his mother." "Dude, what happen?" Rainbow asked in concern. "Myotis happened." Blazefist answered bluntly, "He abused Terrorcreep a lot, trying to make him the most ruthless and cruel Head and Tactician. Eventually, Lady Angela was furious with him and reported to the Lord Vlad about this. He disowned and exiled his own son for abuse and even secretly working with the terrorists. You already know what happen next and why Terrorcreep wanted to kill him." "Damn it…" Applejack commented in shock. Rainbow noticed Fluttershy being silenced. She asked, "You seemed to be quiet lately. Aren't you shock and scared about this?" "A bit." Fluttershy admitted, "I already know about this when I first met Terrorcreep." "How did you meet him?" Wheelie asked curiously. Brains nodded, "Yeah. You and him did become the couples." "We did," Fluttershy confirmed. She sighed, "After my parents died in accident, both me and Zephyr became orphans and alone. We have a hard time to survive and get some money for ourselves. We then come across with Terrorcreep." "Thar's after the Vlad Family was destroyed?" Pinkie asked in concern. Fluttershy nodded fearfully, "Yeah. He wasn't sure if he wanted to trust and befriend us after what mean people done to him. But I show him kindness, and he is willing to befriend and help us to survive for a long time. We became very close friends and told each other stories. Then, one day, we almost get caught by Sir Scar Brilliance and Arthur for stealing their money. Terrorcreep helped save us and challenge them." "I heard that before," Twilight said in understanding, "They recruit him to be part of their black ops. And in-return, they provided him and your friends for food, clothes, home and education." Fluttershy nodded. Rainbow smiled as she patted her best friend's back, "And that is where we met at the school." "And you're certain that he is here?" Rarity asked in concern. Fluttershy nodded, "Yes, I am." "I just don't get it. Why come back here?" Applejack asked in confusion, "I mean it did bring bad memories to him." "Not sure. But I'm sure that we'll find some answers. Let's find him now," Blazefist ordered firmly, "And hopefully, he can help us with our memory problems." "That's assume he doesn't kill us first…" Flash commented in concern. Spike nodded, "Yeah. Vampire Mutants are not known to be very nice and patient." Mane Six and their friends split up, searching and looking for Terrorcreep within the haunted mansion. And so far, they have found nothing. Eventually, Fluttershy and Rainbow are now at the second level. They then entered the messy room, which is filled with ruins and damages of bed, drawer, chairs, toys, shredded books, tool, materials and more. "Wow… What a mess," Rainbow commented in shock, "Rarity would have criticized this big mess…" Fluttershy approached to the large family photo frame, which was shredded. She sighed, "After what Myotis has done to him, I don't think he would forgive him. He wants revenge on him." Spotted something shinny near to the balcony's entrance, Rainbow approached to it. Arriving to the entrance, she spotted the golden locket on the table. She picked it up while looking at it. "What the heck is this?" Rainbow asked curiously, "Some kind of locket?" "Locket?" Fluttershy asked. She gasped in concern, realizing of what Rainbow was referring to. She turned to her friend's direction. She spotted her friend's holding the locket. She even spotted shadowy figure behind her. She shouted, "Rainbow! Behind you!" Rainbow turned back as she yelped in shock and concern. She saw a furious Terrorcreep with cuts and blood on him. He hissed angrily at her. And just before she could say anything, he charged and slammed a punch against her guts. He then kicked her off while getting the locket back. Rainbow fell on the ground hard. Fluttershy helped getting her up. They're both facing at the angry Terrorcreep. "T-Terrorcreep?" Fluttershy asked in concern. Terrorcreep snarled angrily, "Who are you?! How dare you come here?! What are you doing here." "Wow, easy, TC. We're friends. Remember?" Rainbow asked hopefully. "Don't lie to me. I have no friends…" Terrorcreep said dryly and angrily. He then grabbed and held tight on his locket. He growled, "Do you have no idea what you could have done?!" "Sorry! Okay! I didn't know it's yours!" Rainbow shouted in concern. "Terrorcreep! It's not Rainbow Dash's fault! She doesn't know about it!" Fluttershy exclaimed in concern. Refused to listen to them, Terrorcreep armed himself with his Thunder Dual Axe. He swung and slashed against the cupboard, scaring both Fluttershy and Rainbow off. "Get out!" Terrorcreep screamed in anger and furiously at Fluttershy and Rainbow. They both tried to calm him down but barely dodged his swinging axes. He shouted again, "GET OUT!" His scream has shocked and scared Fluttershy to cry in tears before run off at once. Rainbow went after as she has to make sure that she's alright. Terrorcreep slowly calmed himself down. And at the same time, there were some tears flowing down on his cheeks. He noticed of it. He was full of confuse and concern. He wondered why he was crying. The rest of Mane Six regrouped back to the middle of hall after they heard some loud screams. They looked up at the staircase, where Fluttershy was climbing down and running straight out of the entrance. This shocked and concern them a lot. They're all shouted and called her name. They all went after her at once. Running few meters away from the haunted mansion, Fluttershy went deep into dark forest as far away from it. She quickly halted at once. She found herself surrounded by the Orc Soldiers. They're all growling and snarling as they prepared to finish her off. Now how can she escape this? "You know. When you say you give me the answer," Sunset said dryly and annoyingly. She screamed out angrily, "This is not what I have in mind?!" It revealed that Sunset and her pony allies were now at the Pizza Restaurant. They have ordered the large cheese pizza with carrots, capsicums and mushrooms on it. Yuko and Royal Sisters happily enjoyed eating the pizza while Princess Twilight and Sunset were very annoyed about it. "I thought we were heading to library for getting some answers," Princess Twilight said seriously yet annoyingly, "Not having lunch!" Sunset nodded, "Yeah. I thought you're serious about this situation." "I am," Yuko said calmly yet amusingly, "We're just waiting for someone to come here. She has the answer we need to know." Princess Twilight and Sunset groaned, "She is crazy…" Yuko picked another slice of Pizza. And just before she could take a bite, she felt a breeze on her mane. She smiled warmly as she looked up and found Celtic stood before them. "Celtic…" Yuko greeted calmly. "You?!" Princess Twilight asked in shock, "What's that wife of Lelouch Skarr is doing here?!" Sunset yelped in shock, "WHAT?!" Celtic scoffed as she picked up and ate the slice, "Lady Yuko invited me here." "Are you crazy?!" Princess Twilight and Sunset exclaimed in disbelief and shock. Yuko sighed while rolled her eyes, "Calm down, you two. There is no reason of you to be panic and go crazy. Though she's the enemy of ours, she would not harm me, regardless…" "Why?" Princess Twilight asked suspiciously. Yuko smiled, "That's for you to know the basics." Princess Twilight groaned in frustration. Princess Celestia patted her former student's back gently, "It's okay, Twilight. I am certain Yuko has the reason why she trusted her. If she has the information, let us listen to her. After all-!" Princess Twilight sighed, "I know. Wisdom has funny ways to show…" "So, why did you invite me here?" Celtic asked in annoyance while eating couple of pizza slices. She hummed happily, "I haven't eaten these things for years! I missed them!" Yuko smiled warmly, "Glad you like it. Now back to the business. Sunset has explanation to tell you." "What would that be?" Celtic asked Sunset. The unicorn explained the situation to her. She hummed suspiciously, "So, it finally makes its appearance." "Excuse me?" Sunset asked curiously. "I know what has done to your 'allies'. This work is done by none other than 'Memory Stone'." Celtic said seriously and firmly, shocking Sunset and her friends. She nodded firmly, "With it, anyone could erase any memory from anypony. Even fragments of memories." Sunset gasped, "Fragments like... memories of me and my Mane Six's existence?" "Yes," Celtic confirmed seriously. "How did you know about this?" Princess Twilight asked suspiciously. "Because I created it," Celtic answered bluntly, shocking the group. Princess Twilight and Sunset glared at her suspiciously. She took a big sip on her drinks, "Don't look at me. I've got nothing to do with you. Believe me, why would I be bother about you? You're not worth of my time." "I suppose it is true…" Princess Twilight nodded in agreement. "So, why did you create that stone? For war against the Mystic? World domination?! Destruction?!" Sunset asked suspiciously. "For removing any kind of embarrassment and humiliation moments." Celtic answered bluntly, shocking everyone sands Yuko. She scoffed, "What? I was a teenager. I want to be perfect with my looks, personality, reputation and beauty to the world and my beloved husband." "That is very wrong…" Princess Twilight remarked in disbelief. Celtic sighed, "Unfortunately, somebody sees it as the weapon to defeat the enemies. So, they used it to fight and defeat the enemies while conquered most of the land. I was very annoyed and furious about it. So, I decide to hidden it, somewhere in the Everfree Forest until the war ended." "She's very sensitive about it," Yuko commented playfully, annoying Celtic. Princess Celestia gasped in realization, "I remember this before!" Everyone turned and looked at her. She continued seriously, "Star-Swirl told me about this before. It involved the Seven Trials of Clover the Clever. And it has something to do with the Memory Stone." "Really?" Princess Twilight asked in surprise. Princess Celestia nodded firmly, "Yes, Twilight. This was before the founding of Equestria. Winter Breeze, one of Star-Swirl the Bearded's apprentices, found and repaired the Memory Stone. Like Celtic has said, she used it for her personal matters until she decided to use it for her ambition. She wanted to become the recognizable pony for her achievement by stealing ponies' ideas and projects before erased their memories." "Clover the Clever became aware of this. He went after her?" Princess Twilight asked. "Yes, Twilight. Clover the Clever knew the sorceress had to be stopped and the Stone destroyed, so he chased her across land and sea." Princess Celestia explained firmly and calmly, "But every time he got close, the sorceress would erase his memory and escape. But he kept finding her." "How?" Sunset asked curiously. Princess Luna hummed thoughtfully, "If I recollect carefully, Clover the Clever secretly wrote everything down in the scraps of parchment, so he'd know what had happened and where to go next. Like a trail of bread crumbs." "Clever! Ohhhh. Clover the—" Sunset commented but stopped at once, knowing the pun. She grunted a bit, "Yeah, got it. What happened next?" "That part we're not certain." Princess Luna admitted in concern, "We assumed that after he has defeated and captured Winter Breeze, Clover must've hid it to keep anypony else from finding the Memory Stone." Princess Celestia gave some concern thoughts, "I believe I have a theory. Clover believed some ponies could abuse it for their personal gain, so he sent the Memory Stone to somewhere very unknown and never reach it." Princess Twilight gasped in realization, "The Human World!" "And someone is using it to make everyone forget about me and my friends?" Sunset exclaimed in concern. "But who?" Princess Twilight and Sunset asked in concern. Sipping very loud on drinking her soda, everyone turned and glared at Celtic. The white unicorn was annoyed by it as she commented, "What?! I'm drinking! Besides, it's already cliffhanger. Duh?" To Be Continued… Review and Suggest… > Remembrance (III) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Back to the Human Realm, Fluttershy found herself surrounded by few numbers of Orc Soldiers. They're all snarled and growled at her while armed with their weapons, preparing to strike at her. She quivered and shivered in fear to face them. As one of them was about to swing and strike his sword at her, Rainbow charged and rammed him off before swung and slammed her Mystic Magical Spear at them. She wasn't alone. The rest of her friends have arrived and joined the fight against the enemies. Using her Levitation Spell to levitate and thrown them aside, Twilight swung and struck her Star Sparkle Sword at them. Applejack, used her Super Strength, punching and kicking them off. Rarity summoned and used her Diamond Barriers to protect her friends from harm. Pinkie fired her Party Launcher and Sweet Grenades at them. Flash swung and slammed the club at them. Wheelie and Brains fired their mini-guns at them. Activated his Overheat Rage, Blazefist charged and engaged the enemies firmly and aggressively. Fluttershy used her Animal Ruby via Bear's Strength, Cheetah's Speed, Rabbit's Agility and Mantis's Blades to fight against them. While Fluttershy used her Bat Screech at the Orc Soldiers, one of them jumped and slammed her from behind. He even took out and thrown the ruby aside. She gasped in fear, finding herself at the mercy of enemy soldier. As he raised his axe high up, she quickly braced herself for possible attack. Instead, a flying axe was thrown and struck on his forehead, killing him. Fluttershy was surprised to see a flying axe. As she turned and looked back, she found Terrorcreep has passed by while grabbing one of his axe. He charged and engaged the Orc Soldiers at once. He swiftly and quickly swung his axes in defeating and killing them off. He used Illusion Spell to fool and confuse them. And he also used Elemental Geode of Thunder such as Crimson Lightning, Thunder Fangs, Thunderstorm and Thunder Balls. Despite his speed ability and thunder power, he still received some cuts and wounds from the enemy soldiers' attacks during his fight. Regardless of how strong and fast the Orc Soldiers have proven, Terrorcreep refused to stand down and kill almost all of them. Witnessing how fierce and strong Terrorcreep is, Orc Soldiers panicked and ran for their lives at once. Mane Six and their friends sighed in relief as they have survived the worst. They turned and looked at the Vampire Mutant, who panted heavily and weakly. He groaned in pain before falling to the ground hard. This alerted and shocked everyone. They're all approached and checked on him. Blazefist placed his two fingers against his neck, checking on his pulse. "Damn it. Is he alright?" Rainbow asked in concern. Blazefist sighed, "Wounded, but still alive." Pinkie sighed in relieved, "What a relief…" "Fluttershy, what happen just now? Why did you run away from him?" Rarity asked in concern. Applejack cracked her fists firmly, "I swear if this guy did anything bad to you…" "I'll explain later. Right now, we need to treat his wounds," Fluttershy said firmly and calmly. Twilight nodded in understanding, "Leave it to me. My magic will carry him back to the mansion." Twilight used her geode's power to levitate and lift wounded Terrorcreep up. Mane Six and their allies then headed off straight back to the mansion for both shelter and treating the vampire's wounds. Mane Six and their allies have returned to the mansion. Blazefist, Rainbow, Applejack and two Minicons were guarding and patrolling at the entrance. Fluttershy, Twilight, Rarity, Pinkie and Spike were gathering and preparing the medicine, bucket of warm water and towels for treating Terrorcreep, who just woke up from his unconsciousness. Twilight, Pinkie and Spike were looking through some medicine and bandages. Rarity poured out warm water into the bucket, allowing Fluttershy to rinse the towel on it. With warm towel's readied, she turned her attention to Terrorcreep. She found him trying to lick his wounds. "Don't do that," Fluttershy protested in concern. This earned the Vampire Mutant snarl at her. The rest of her friends slowly backed off. The last thing they need is his temper. As she tried to put a warm towel on his wounds, Terrorcreep moved his wounded hand around from her touching his. This frustrated and annoyed her as she's trying to reach his wounds. Fluttershy groaned in frustration, "Terrorcreep, would you please hold still?!" At the right moment, Fluttershy managed to place her warm towel on his wounds, causing Terrorcreep to yell in pain. This shocked and scared the rest of her friends to move and hide behind the wardrobe. Terrorcreep screamed at Fluttershy, "That hurt!" "If you hold still, it wouldn't hurt as much!" Fluttershy scolded him. Terrorcreep glared at her, "If you hadn't run away, this wouldn't have happened." "If you hadn't frightened me, then I wouldn't have run away!" Fluttershy snapped back at him. Annoyed and irritated by snappy comebacks, Terrorcreep exclaimed defensively, "Well, you and your friend shouldn't have touch my stuffs!" "Well, you should learn to control your temper." Fluttershy scolded him again, "How many times do I have to tell you about this?! So, don't throw your tantrum at someone over your stuff, mister!" Terrorcreep was about to scold back but couldn't come up with it since he started the mess, though he doesn't recall of her lecturing him about controlling his temper. Her friends looked amazed and surprised by Fluttershy's standing up to her amnesia boyfriend's temper. They did not expect that. "How does she do that?" Pinkie asked in surprise. "And I always thought the beauty tamed the beast works on the fictions," Twilight commented in surprise. Terrorcreep remained firm yet silent while looking away. Fluttershy rinsed her warm towel again. "Now hold still. It might sting a bit," Fluttershy said gently. Terrorcreep sighed while nodded firmly. As she gently placed her warm towel on his wounded, she then looked at him and spoke compassionately, "By the way, Terrorcreep, thank you for saving my life." Surprised by her kindness to thank him, Terrorcreep turned and looked at her. He sighed calmly, "Y-You're welcome." He hummed thoughtfully, "Why? Why did you help me? How did you know my name?" Fluttershy sighed a bit, "It's a complicated story. Something that you won't believe me easily." Terrorcreep narrowed his curious eyes at her, "Try me." Touched by him wanted to know about their history, Fluttershy smiled warmly, "Well, we both met when we were 8 years old…" After finding out about the Memory Stone, Sunset grew more concern and uneasy. She feared that her friends will be next to lose their memories. Sunset hissed in concern, "I should be getting back to my world. I have to tell them of what I have found. And hopefully, they don't get caught and forgotten about me." Princess Twilight nodded in concern, "The Memory Stone. I should stay here and do more research about it. Canterlot Library should have the answers we're looking for." "Oh, yes, it does," Princess Celestia agreed calmly. She then formed sly smirk, "We'll be finding them from the restricted section." "There's a... a reh... a reh... a reh..." Princess Twilight said in hyperventilating tone. Sunset patted Twilight's back gently, "Breathe, Twilight." Princess Twilight panted heavily and madly before slowly breathed calmly. Celtic rolled her eyes amusingly, "And I thought my little sister is crazy over books." Yuko giggled playfully, "I know, right? Crazy family?" Celtic smirked, "Crazy family…" Seeing Princess Twilight has calmed herself down, Sunset asked, "Feeling better?" "Yes, I'm fine," Princess Twilight replied. She sighed, "I'll search the restricted section top to bottom until I find a way to get your allies' memories back." Sunset hummed in concern, "If that's even possible." "Oh, it's possible! Even if I have to reorganize the whole library by subject. Or maybe chronologically!" Twilight exclaimed confidently. Everyone looked at her oddly. She cleared her throat, "I'll figure it out." "Thank you. All of you." Sunset thanked her pony friends. "This is quite a contrast from the last time we parted ways." Princess Celestia commented, making Sunset uneasy and guilty. She approached and gave her former student a gentle pat, "But you are not that way anymore. With every choice you make, you prove yourself to possess a kind heart." Sunset smiled warmly, "I guess I had a good teacher." Princess Twilight blushed a bit, "You were a good student." As Sunset and Princess Twilight laughed happily, Princess Celestia was annoyed as she demanded angrily, "Are you saying I wasn't a good teacher?" Sunset and Princess Twilight panicked and exclaimed in apologetic frantically and fearfully, realizing that they have offended Princess Celestia on the wrong way. At the very moment, Princess Celestia laughed at them, joined in by the rest of her friends. Realizing of what she did, Sunset and Princess Twilight joined in the laughter. "Princess Celestia has a sense of humor?" Sunset asked in surprise tone. She giggled a bit, "Looks like I'm not the only one who's changed." Princess Twilight nodded, "Yup. I think lots of things have changed." "Speaking of change, I don't suppose that you're taking me and Celtic back to your world," Yuko said playfully, shocking everyone sans Celtic. She smiled, "After all, I could use some vacation." Celtic nodded, "I agreed. After all, the work we have suffered. We truly need some timeout." Their reasons have made Sunset and three princesses uneasy and worried of not only about Yuko's going to Human World for a vacation, but also bringing along the wife to Chaos Herald of Melancholy. "I'm not sure if this is a good idea," Princess Twilight said in concern. Princess Luna nodded, "Sunset already has a mission to perform as you both are aware of this. So, she might not have time to watch over you, godmother Yuko especially that witch." Celtic rolled her eyes in annoyance, "I already told you before that I would never harm her." "How do we know you're not lying?" Princess Twilight asked suspiciously. Yuko was a bit irritated yet understanding as she spoke, "Because I know her for a long time. I trust her. I cared and loved her so much…" The revelation shocked and concerned Sunset and the Princesses as they didn't expect Yuko to speak up about her 'relationship' with Celtic. "I still do not think this is a wisest decision, not after the stung she pulled on little Flurry Heart," Princess Celestia said in concern yet annoyed. Upon receiving a whack on her head, she yelped in pain, "Ow! What did I do?" "For doubtful of your own godmother! Doubt me?! Shame on you!" Yuko scolded Princess Celestia. She scoffed, "You should know better that I don't easily get deceived and beaten easily." "And of course, do you know what and how the Memory Stone look like in the first place?" Celtic asked dryly, shocking everyone. She scoffed, "I'm the only one, who knows what it looks like." "Hmm… You've made some valid point," Princess Celestia said firmly yet concernedly. She turned and looked at Sunset, "It's your choice, Sunset. I trust your judgment." "I still don't think it's a good idea." Sunset said in concern, noticing Yuko and Celtic giving pouty looks. She sighed, "But I guess it won't hurt to try…" Yuko cheered as she approached and hugged Sunset happily, "Thank you so much, Sunset! You're the best!" "Trust us. You won't regret it. You'll find and get the relic," Celtic cheered playfully, "We're gonna have so much fun." "Plus, we get to meet your new Human Friends," Yuko said playfully, "Hmm… I wonder how my human appearance will be like?" Twilight sighed in annoyance, "This might not end well." Sunset groaned, "Tell me about it…" Back to the Human Realm, Fluttershy has finished treating and rolling the bandages around his wounded hand, and also telling the story about her to Terrorcreep. Rarity has finished sewing and repairing the black coat. Pinkie and Spike were playing rock-paper-scissor for fun. Twilight was looking through at her computer, hoping to find some answers how did everyone got their memories erased or even hacked and accessed the network database. After hearing the story, Terrorcreep looked disbelief and uncertain as he's still processing it, "T-This… This is unexpected. So, you and I were together for a long time?" "It's true," Fluttershy nodded in confirmation while showing her cellphone to reveal the pictures of her and Terrorcreep. She continued, "Here is the proof of what we have been through especially the dates and personal love matters. And of course, I taught you some manners and responsibility, and even giving you the education." Pinkie giggled, "That's a good one, Fluttershy. Almost acting like a big sister to him." Fluttershy sighed, "Well. He has to act professional when he's the tactician of the team." Terrorcreep hummed in uncertainty and concern, "It's still so hard to believe about this. And yet, I felt like it was very true such as my tears over hurting you or even you stood up to me when I lost my temper." "Possibly the feeling of true love," Rarity commented pleasingly. She sighed, "How romantic." Twilight groaned with the hint of jealousy, "I cannot believe that my boyfriend can't recognize or even think about me. He and I are so gonna have the talk. Honestly, why can't he be like Terrorcreep?!" "Twilight, you're being overreacting again," Spike commented dryly, "The magic mess up his mind and heart. Remember?" "That's a rhetorical question, Spike," Twilight answered dryly, making Spike confused. She groaned in annoyance, "It means I know the obvious answer to the question I asked." Spike rolled his eyes, "Right…" Terrorcreep hummed thoughtfully and curiously, "Perhaps, you're right. Do you even know what cause this in the first place?" Rarity sighed, "Alas! None of us do." "Hopefully, Sunset has the answer. No telling how long the effects last on our friends," Twilight said in concern. "Hey, guys! Sunset's back!" Rainbow's voice called out. Fluttershy and her team turned to their back. They're all headed down the stairs and meet up with the rest of their friends at outside of mansion's entrance. They're all found Sideswipe's car mode has arrived. Sunset came out from the car as she greeted happily to Mane Six and even gave them a warm hug. "Man, glad to see you're back, Sunset," Rainbow said happily. Flash sighed while hugging Sunset, "Yeah. I missed you." "Yeah. Good to be back, guys," Sunset said in relief. She then noticed Blazefist and Terrorcreep. She gasped, "Cool! You've managed to get them both. I'm guessing that others don't believe in us?" "Yeah. That would be big problem," Pinkie admitted in concern. "Well, Blazefist is the first person to figure out of what's going on," Rarity explained calmly, "And he helped us find and get Terrorcreep to our side. Fluttershy did the work." Fluttershy nodded, "Yeah. He didn't believe in us, at first. It was his heart to convince to believe in us." Terrorcreep sighed, "It's true. Hard to believe a vampire like me has the heart." Spike, Wheelie and Brains shrugged, "I know. Can you believe it?" "So, did you find anything of what caused everyone to forget about us?" Twilight asked in concern. "I do," Sunset confirmed. She then explained firmly, "It was the Memory Stone! It erased our own friends' memories magically, either a portion or piece." Applejack gasped in shock, "Like us!" "Exactly," Sunset agreed, "So, we have to find it first. Twilight, can you ask Azure Phoenix or Strikespell to help us out?" Twilight sighed, "Unfortunately not. My access to Imperial Phoenix has been erased. And worst, all the information about us are erased!" "What?! I didn't think the Memory Stone could work on machine?!" Sunset asked in shock and disbelief. Wheelie cleared his throat in annoyance, "Excuse me, Sunset. We remember everything." Brains hummed thoughtfully, "Someone must have placed virus or hacked to do it." "That's not possible," Twilight said in disagreement, "No virus or even anyone could hack Imperial Phoenix. The firewall is very strong and efficient to prevent anything to infiltrate and hack it. It's impossible." "Forget the computer, Twilight! We need to find and get the stone first," Applejack said firmly, "Hopefully, it can reverse the problem." "I'm afraid it doesn't work." Celtic's voice said seriously and firmly. Mane Six and their friends looked up and found two more figures emerged out from Sideswipe's car mode. Yuko was revealed to be an older woman with youth looks and long black hair wearing blackish-whitish colored long dress with flower patterns on bottom, has two long sleeves on arms. Celtic was shown to be a teenager with her long hair back tied up worn shirt with reddish shirt colored with sleeves, white skirt, long black pants and reddish boots-like heel. "And you are?" Applejack asked suspiciously. Rainbow nodded, "Yeah. Never seen you around." "My… my… And I thought your pony counterparts are very rude and impatient when it comes to finding and getting answers so badly," Yuko commented. She then laughed, which annoyed the Mane Six and their friends. She smiled playfully, "You and them are the same." "I beg your pardon?!" Rarity asked, feeling offended. "Shouldn't you introduce us to your friends?" Yuko asked playfully. Celtic nodded, "You don't wanna be rude to us and them." Sunset groaned a bit, "Everyone, this is Yuko the Great Black Witch and Mystic Councilpony of Wisdom, and this witch is Celtic, who is a jerk for working with Chaos Herald." Everyone yelped in concern and worry, "You're kidding me?!" Sunset sighed, "I wish I was…" "Before anyone tried to accuse me being the bad guy. I'm not here to pick a fight or anything. Just wanna spend more time with Yuko," Celtic said firmly and calmly. She smirked, "And of course, I know how and what the Memory Stone looks like too." "She created it." Sunset added dryly, making everyone gasped yet annoyed. "So, you're responsible for erasing our friends' memories?!" Rainbow asked angrily. Pinkie groaned, "Yeah! Shame on you!" "Do us a favor, Celtic. Reverse the magic now!" Twilight demanded angrily. "I can't…" Celtic muttered annoyingly. Everyone demanded 'why not'. She explained dryly and annoyingly, "The Memory Stone is designed to steal and store the memories within, not return and restore it to the owner. And plus, even if I want to restore their missing pieces, Memory Stone has stronger magic to black and prevent my magic to reach them. You can try technology if you want, it won't work either." "In other words?" Applejack asked in concern. Celtic sighed, "Let me speak plainly to you Humans. You can do nothing about getting their memories back." She smiled playfully, "Best Be Forgotten." "Are you kidding me?!" Everyone asked in annoyance and anger wile tripping and falling to the ground hard. "Why on earth would you build that?!" Rarity asked angrily. "To erase awkward and embarrassment, duh," Celtic answered bluntly, shocking everyone. She scoffed, "I was a teenager, dummy." Rainbow groaned, "She is the worst…" Twilight sighed, "Agreed. She's not very helpful either." "It doesn't matter now. Now, we need to get the stone now," Sunset said firmly, "Princess Twilight will do research and find more answers to restore our friends' memories." "I told you that it will not work," Celtic answered firmly. Sunset turned and glared at Celtic, "I know. But I'm confident that Twilight will find and get the answer. She always does." "Unless you have a good idea to reverse it," Twilight asked in annoyance. Celtic scoffed and shrugged, "No, I don't. I only made the stone for my personal matters, and not for war." "We're wasting time. Let's go and find the stone by tomorrow dawn," Blazefist said firmly. "Agreed. We cannot let anyone use it," Terrorcreep said determinedly. "Not so fast. We won't be doing that," Yuko disagreed, shocking and confusing them. She smiled warmly and happily, "Celtic and I have got plans to do for tomorrow. We're gonna enjoy one happy day for our big vacation!" Celtic nodded happily, "Indeed. So tomorrow, we will find it." "Are you serious?!" Everyone asked angrily and annoyingly. "Do you want us to help you or not?!" Yuko asked angrily, making everyone nodded. She then shouted out loud, "Then, let us have our vacation, dummy!" "Do not ruin it!" Celtic added, "And you all will be our tour guide. If you won't do it, kiss your friends' memories goodbye!" Everyone groaned in frustration and annoying with Yuko and Celtic for thinking about vacation than the mission. But they know that they need their help because they know what the Memory Stone looks like and how to evade them. They have no choice but to obey and follow them… Princess Celestia and Princess Luna took Princess Twilight to the Canterlot Library's Restricted Section via headed to its deepest end corner. They levitated and pulled down two books that has their cutie marks. The bookshelf slide aside, revealing the entrance to the underground. This surprised the Princess of Friendship a lot. Three of them climbed down the stairs, followed by walking through the hallway of darkest ancient ruins-like with torches lighted on. They have arrived at the entrance. As they opened and marched into, Twilight gave the prolonged gasp of shock as she witnessed another but more ancient and traditional library section, filled with not just books, but also ancient artifacts and fireplace. "Oh-my-gosh-oh-my-gosh-oh-my-gosh-oh-my-gosh-oh-my-gosh! So many books all unread! Ancient historical artifacts!" Twilight exclaimed in disbelief and shocked before wheezed wildly and crazily, "I just... I thought...! I can't...!" Princess Celestia sighed as she patted Twilight's back, "Calm down, Twilight. Remember why we are here." Twilight took a deep breath before released it, "Sorry. I got excited about it." She cleared her throat, "Let's get down to business." On the next day, Yuko and Celtic were starting and enjoying their vacation, accompanied by Sunset and her friends as their tour guide. They're showing both of them around their town, and also giving them the activities and entertainment they have around such as shopping malls, carnival, movie theater, playing both sports and arcades and so on. Despite their efforts, Sunset and her friends get annoyed and frustrated with Yuko and Celtic's playful pranks and criticism. And not to mention, they're also worried and scared that they do not have the time to find and get the Memory Stone. Sunset and her friends are now at the food court. They're all taking a break from tour guide. And of course, they also wanted to vent out their frustration and annoyance about Yuko and Celtic's attitude. "How long do you think we should follow them?" Terrorcreep asked impatiently. Rainbow groaned, "No idea. But this is a waste of time, you know!" "I know, Rainbow. But even we want to search for the Memory Stone. Where do we start?" Twilight asked in concern, "And better yet, who would do this? Why us?" Applejack sighed, "She's right. And also, we don't even know what Memory Stone looked like." "Yeah. It would have been easily if they just tell or show us," Pinkie complained. "That's not the only thing we should be worry about," Sunset said seriously while glaring at Yuko and Celtic. Turning back to her friends, she continued, "It's Celtic we should be worry about." "Wow. What got you on your bad side, yo?" Wheelie asked in surprise tone. Brains nodded, "Yeah. What the heck she did to you?" "It's not what she did to me. It's who she is," Sunset corrected firmly. She sighed, "Guys, I don't wanna be a jerk or bias but we're dealing with Chaos Heralds especially if it's relative and children to them. They can't be trusted." "That's a bit harsh," Fluttershy said in concern. "It's a fact, Fluttershy," Sunset said strictly firmly. "You seem so tense about that since the day we found out about Lady of Shades is Kyuubi Lilith," Rarity said in concern, "Would you like to explain about this?" "Sure. Why not," Sunset said in concern with a sigh, "Chaos Heralds are the powerful and ancient dark warriors for serving Demon God as not only their commanding officers and warriors but also they were his creation and children. Plus, they're pure evil and monsters too. Kyuubi Lilith is one of them." Everyone was shocked and worried to hear about it. Twilight gulped, "That's something. Kinda like Seven Deadly Sins? Who knew?" "And you think Celtic's one of them?" Rarity asked in concern. "No. But she's a wife to Lelouch Skarr, Chaos Herald of Melancholy," Sunsets said firmly and seriously, "With her being around means trouble, guys. She's up to something. And the Memory Stone is what she's going after." Twilight gasped, "You don't suppose that she's using it for evil?" "Obviously." Rainbow remarked dryly, "Everyone knows that when you're related to evil, they're so very evil." Sunset nodded firmly, "That's what worries me. And we can't let her get it before she could cause the problems around here. She could be helping her husband and other Heralds to take over this world since they can't take over Equestria!" Blazefist hummed thoughtfully, "You could be right, Sunset. She purposely followed you here, so she could get the Memory Stone. But to do so, she needs to distract us. Yuko was the perfect candidate to do that, giving her the chance to escape and get it. She can take over this world." "And how they dare use the vacation as distraction! No one does that!" Pinkie exclaimed angrily. Applejack hissed, "Worse. Now that we're too exhausted and tired. She could make her escape and get the stone!" Sunset slammed her fist on the table, "Not our watch! We're not gonna let her get away!" "How many times do I have to tell you? I am here for a vacation with Yuko!" Celtic shouted angrily, alerted everyone else. They turned and found her and Yuko stood before them. She huffed angrily while drinking her Smoothie, "Wow. You mortals are very narrow minded indeed." "Narrow minded?! Bite your tongue!" Twilight exclaimed in anger. "Yeah! Like this!" Pinkie agreed as she pulled out her long tongue to get bitten. She yelled in pain, "Yowch! It bites!" Blazefist sighed, "Figurative speech, Pinkie. Not literally." "Is she serious?" Terrorcreep asked in annoyance. Rainbow sighed, "You have no idea…" "How can we be certain that you're not telling us the truth?" Sunset asked in annoyance, "And don't you dare bring Yuko in to back you up! I want the truth from you! Alone!" Looking at Yuko, she shrugged in uncertainty and worried. Celtic sighed, "So, what can I do to make you believe that I'm telling you the truth?" "The Memory Stone! What it looks like?! Where is it?!" Sunset demanded impatiently and angrily, shocking her friends. She then grabbed and held Celtic against the walls. She demanded, "I'm not kidding and in the mood!" Everyone yelped and panicked in concern. Both Flash and Twilight quickly grabbed and pulled Sunset away from holding Celtic against the wall. They all exclaimed and calmed her down. "Sunset, cool off!" Flash insisted firmly, "It's gonna help us!" Twilight nodded, "Let's listen to what she has to say first. Okay?" Sunset breathed firmly and calmly, "Fine." "If I were you, I'd tell her," Wheelie and Brains insisted firmly and calmly/ Dusting off from her clothes, Celtic sighed dryly, "Fine. I'll tell you. In fact, I was gonna tell you after I get my Peperoni Pizza." "Wait. You eat Peperoni Pizza?" Applejack asked in surprise, "You do realize that the pizza has the beef and chicken in it, right? I mean you are a pony, right?" Fluttershy nodded, "Yeah. Ponies are herbivores." "One, I'm not really a pony. I'm a Mystical Being. Two, I'm the wife to Lelouch Skarr. So, I can eat any kind of meat. And three, pizza especially peperoni are my favorites." Celtic commented playfully, shocking the group. She cleared her throat as she took out the paper. She continued, "Here's the blueprint of Memory Stone. That will help you to know what it looks like." "And the location?" Twilight asked. Rarity nodded, "You do have the tracking device on it, right? I mean Shorty does the same for all of us." Celtic groaned, "No. I did not put tracking device on my Memory Stone! Plus, after what those idiots done with my stuffs, I confiscated and hidden it! And if you're wondering if my magic can sense and bring it here, no, I cannot." Applejack sighed with rolling eyes, "I supposed this is better than nothing." "Yeah…" Sunset agreed before giving glare at Celtic, "But I swear to Princess Celestia that if you ever-!" "You want to waste your bloody time with blaming me or solving the problem?" Celtic asked in annoyance. She groaned in frustration with tears flowing down on her cheeks, "Was it very hard for me to spend time with Yuko for one day?! Just one day?! Won't it kill you for a simple vacation?!" Everyone was shocked by what they just saw and head. Celtic really wants the vacation to spend time with Yuko?! It was unexpected. Yuko held Celtic back while patted her shoulder gently. She sighed, "It's alright, Celtic. I think they understand." She turned and gestured them to move, "I'll handle this since you've got what you need." Yuko then moved and guided Celtic off to another place. Though they have what they needed, Sunset and her friends can't help but feel guilty and shame about it. "I think we kinda overdid it," Pinkie said in concern. Applejack nodded, "Celtic really does want to spend time with Yuko so badly." "I kinda feel bad for ruining it," Rainbow commented in shame. "I still don't understand why Yuko and Celtic care for each other. But yeah, it was bad of me to screw it up," Sunset said in shame, "I really want to make it up. But…" "We need to find and deal with the Memory Stone first before it could do some damages," Blazefist said firmly and calmly. "He has the point," Flash agreed in concern while rubbing his head, "Trying to remember what we did sure gives me a headache…" "I might have the suggestion," Fluttershy spoke up. Everyone turned and looked at her. She continued, "Why don't some of us stay and keep an eye on them while the rest go and find the Memory Stone? And who knows? We might come across with it." Everyone was surprised by Fluttershy's suggestion. As they gave some thinking, they couldn't help but agreed with her idea. "That might work. Guess we split up," Blazefist said firmly and calmly, "Sunset, Twilight, Flash, Applejack and Spike are with me to find the Memory Stone. Fluttershy and Terrorcreep take the rest and keep your eyes on Yuko and Celtic. Let's move it." Everyone nodded and chattered in agreement. They then split up. Sunset, Blazefist, Flash, Twilight, Applejack and Spike headed off to find the Memory Stone. Fluttershy, Terrorcreep, Rainbow, Rarity, Pinkie, Wheelie and Brains went after Yuko and Celtic, making sure that they're alright. Blazefist's Team was heading down the hallway, searching and keeping their eyes out for any sign of suspicious people or the Memory Stone. And so far, they have found nothing. They all then halted at once. They found Trixie stood before them. "Oh no. Not now…" Applejack grumbled. "Ah-ha! Trixie has found you at last!" Trixie exclaimed happily. Flash groaned, "Trixie. I already told you before! The answer is 'no'!" "Wait! Hear me out! I am confident that you're gonna chance your mind!" Trixie insisted. Though everyone was annoyed and impatient, they're willing to listen. She took out something for her bag. She revealed the poster that has her posed in magical position with flying cards around her and smoke bombs around her. She exclaimed, "Behold! Canterlot High School's Greatest and Powerfullest Student! If a seven-scale mockup doesn't convince you, I don't know what will." Blazefist hummed while looking at the poster, "Not bad with the poster, though the title need some workout. Everyone knows that 'powerfullest' is not even a word." Sunset groaned, "We don't have time for this. We need to find the Memory Stone now." "She does have the point," Twilight agreed, "And also, we already rejected her superlative yesterday." Applejack nodded, "Yeah. No kidding." "Excuse me?! Who are you?! You're not even part of Yearbook Committee either!" Trixie demanded impatiently, "And also, what are you talking about? What Memory Stone?" Sunset sighed, "I don't expect you to believe in us. But it was that stupid stone that make everyone forget about me and my friends." "A stone that could make everyone forget all the bad tricks I've done...?" Trixie asked in surprise, "Which is no tricks. Your puny rock pales in comparison to the Great and Powerful Trixie!" Applejack groaned, "Trixie, nobody cared about your tricks." "Nobody asked you!" Trixie exclaimed angrily and annoyingly. She then sighed calmly, "But seriously… Did somebody really erase everyone's memories of you all?" "That's affirmative," Twilight confirmed. "And even though none of us know you all, you're saying we all do?" Trixie asked in surprise. Applejack nodded, "It's true, Trixie. But like Sunset has said, we don't expect you to believe in us." "Are we friends?" Trixie asked curiously. "No. Not really. You weren't nice but also rude and bossy too," Sunset answered uneasily. She sighed, "But you're not really a bad person either." "I see…" Trixie nodded in understanding. After some thoughts, she smiled, "Let me help you find the Stone." Everyone was shocked by Trixie's willing to help them. Flash commented, "Wow. I didn't expect her to believe in us." "What's in it for you?" Sunset asked suspiciously. Trixie shown the poster, shocking yet annoying her and her friends to realize of what she wanted. She groaned, " No way. Absolutely not!" Applejack sighed, "We already told you before." "Suit yourself." Trixie shrugged playfully, "But if I were you, I wouldn't reject all the help you need especially there are some people, who believed in you." Twilight hummed thoughtfully, "I hate to admit it, but Trixie has the point. With her smoke bomb tricks or distraction, we could escape if we ran into trouble, even though she can be a loudmouth." "Hey!" Trixie exclaimed angrily and annoyingly. Still distrust her and her capabilities, Sunset sighed in defeat, knowing Twilight was right. She spoke, "Alright, Trixie. We'll do it. Don't make us regret." Trixie squealed happily, "Trust me. You won't." Sunset groaned, "I'm starting to…" "Could be worse…" Spike joked. Trixie yelped in concern, "A Talking Dog! There's a talking dog here!" Princess Twilight, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna have spent one day at the Canterlot Library's restricted section, researching and studying various books, hoping to find more information about Memory Stone. Fortunately, she has located Clover the Clever's scroll about the Memory Stone. While she was reading the scroll, Princess Twilight came across to the end of its section, which has the missing piece. "What?! The missing pages?" Princess Twilight asked in shock and disbelief. She screamed in frustration, "Why?! Why?! How could you do this to me?! I've always been good to you, library!" As Princess Twilight slammed her head against the table, Clover the Clever's chest fell off and dropped to the ground, causing it to break. Just before she could pick it up, she spotted chest's top compartment broke and revealed a torn paper. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna arrived at the scene. This make her gasped in realization. "This is it! The last piece was in a secret compartment!" Princess Twilight exclaimed happily. She magically levitated and read it. She gave the shock and worried looks while looking at the Memory Stone stood in between three large rocks, "Clover the Clever buried the Stone! This rock formation must be somewhere in the other world. But it doesn't say how to get your memories back." Noticing something amiss in the missing page, Princess Luna spotted some faded words on it. She spoke, "There's something behind it." As Princess Twilight flipped the page, she read it out loud, "'Perhaps if I had destroyed the Stone right away, some of my memories could have returned. But when the sun sets by the third day after a memory has been taken, it is erased forever.'." Princess Luna gasped, "Then, that means all of Human Allies will be forgotten of Sunset and her friends!" Princess Celestia hissed, "You must warn Sunset Shimmer at once." Princess Twilight nodded as she levitated her Communication Book, "I'm on it!" Fluttershy's Team searched for Yuko and Celtic, making sure they're alright and not upset with them. And at the same time, Terrorcreep hummed suspiciously and thoughtfully. This attracted Fluttershy, Rainbow, Rarity, Pinkie and two Minicons. "Terrorcreep, what is it? Was something bothering you?" Fluttershy asked. Terrorceep sighed, "Yes, Fluttershy. It's Celtic and Yuko." "You're not suspicious about them, are you?" Rainbow asked in concern, "I mean we're all agreed to help them out with their tour, not to be suspicious of her again." Rarity nodded, "I agreed. It was very rude of us to do that to her." "I know that," Terrorcreep said firmly, "However, I just don't understand why is Celtic wanted to spent time badly with Yuko. And why is the Great Black Witch willing to protect and trust her? That's what I want to know." Rarity hummed in concern, "He does have the point. They both seemed to be very close. What could it mean?" Rainbow shrugged a bit, "No clue. Master and student?" "Unlikely," Terrorcreep disagreed, "I believe there's more to this than we think." Fluttershy hummed thoughtfully, "You don't suppose that they're-?" "Maybe…" Terrorcreep said in uncertain, "But if we want to know more about, we should find them first. Then, we'll talk with them." Wheelie sighed, "Assuming that it doesn't go awkward." Brains nodded in agreement, "We did piss them off." "True. But we can apologize to them. Then, they'll forgive us," Fluttershy said calmly and sincerely. Rainbow hummed, "I hope so. Hopefully, those witches don't turn into freaky monsters to eat us up." Terrorcreep sighed as he gave Rainbow a whack, "Don't be ridiculous!" As Fluttershy's team have arrived at the mini Ferris Wheel-like, they're all spotted two ladies sitting on the bench. They both were talking calmly and sincerely. Celtic was crying tearfully while Yuko was patting her back. And just before Fluttershy's Team could do anything, they spotted Yuko gave a gentle kiss on Celtic's forehead while hugging her. This surprised them. They quickly hid behind the flower pot to see the event. "You should not have done that…" Celtic said seriously yet tearfully, "You're not allowed to do that, not after what I've done." "I don't care, Celtic. I've always love you with all my heart no matter," Yuko said firmly and calmly. She continued, "I do not care of the rules. You are my daughter, and I am your mother. You should remember that, dear." Celtic sighed, "I know. I also missed you so much, mother…" Yuko and Celtic continued tearfully hugging each other warmly and passionately. Fluttershy's Team was in shock and disbelief of what they have just heard. They're also could not believe it either – Yuko and Celtic are mother and daughter?! How?! "Wow. That was unexpected…" Brains commented in shock. Wheelie nodded in agreement, "This is about to go crazy now…" To be Continued… Review and Suggest… > Remembrance (IV) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fluttershy and her team were in deep shock and disbelieved of what they have discovered behind Yuko and Celtic's relationship. They're all could not believe it. They're all quickly hid behind the bench, pretending that they're sitting down and relaxing. "I-I didn't expect that," Rainbow commented in disbelief, "Those two are mother and daughter?! How?!" "No idea…" Pinkie commented in shock. She groaned, "But can we at least get a straightforward story for once in life time?! Is that so hard to ask?!" Everyone facefaulted in annoyance. Rarity groaned, "Not the point, Pinkie. There's one thing I don't understand is that why did she betray and become the wife of Chaos Herald in the first place?" "That's a good question…" Terrorcreep agreed in concern, "Something did happen to them." "But how?" Fluttershy asked curiously. "Why don't you ask them to find out?" The sarcastic voice suggested. "Oh! That's a good idea!" Wheelie cheered. Brains chuckled, "Yes! We should do that! Good ideas, girls!" "Uh, Brains, none of us suggest that," Rarity said in concern. Realizing that they've been spotted, Fluttershy's Team turned back and found Yuko and Celtic were staring and glaring at them. They yelled in shock and fear. "You know it won't hurt you to ask," Yuko said dryly. She sighed, "Call your friends here. Then, we'll discuss." "Uh… Sure. That would be good idea. I'll get to it." Fluttershy giggled uneasily as she dialed and called her friends now. After Trixie joined Sunset's team, they were gathered and have some discussion at the food court. They're all have some drinks, and sitting on the large table. "A food court full of suspects, a group of seven detectives, and only one Memory Stone. Seems impossible, but so does pulling a rabbit out of a hat, and I do that all the time. Let's talk motive." Trixie narrated calmly yet dramatically, "Who here hates you all enough to erase everyone's good memories of you?" Everyone groaned in annoyance by Trixie's drama. Blazefist groaned, "Trixie, we never said somebody 'hate' us. And we have others than just seven detectives." Sunset sighed, "As far as we know, we have no clue of who did it." "I doubt anyone have the grudge against us," Applejack added, "though Dark Terrorists are our number one suspect. Not sure about the Decepticons and Cobra." Twilight hummed in concern, "I don't think it's them. Dark Terrorists are still at power struggle. Decepticons and Cobra have disappeared since Camp Everfree." "Scratch that," Flash commented, "So, what's next?" "We make everyone talk about the Memory Stone," Trixie suggested arrogantly, making everyone facefaulted hard. She blinked in confusion, "What?" Blazefist sighed, "Trixie, we're not gonna tortured and interrogated them for answer. As far as I know, I don't believe that these people are suspects." "He has the point," Twilight agreed, "I mean these people don't seem to bother or care about us. If they do, we would have spotted one of them behave strangely." Trixie groaned, "Everybody's critic." "So, what's next?" Spike asked in concern. Applejack sighed, "Hopefully, our friends have a better luck with talking to Celtic about misunderstanding." RING! Everyone was alerted by cellphone's ringtone. Sunset picked it up and responded to the call. While listening to her friends' reports, she gave the shock and disbelieved looks of what she has heard. "Okay, Fluttershy. Meet us here. We'll talk about them," Sunset said calmly and firmly. She turned and looked at her friends. She sighed, "You won't believe of what I've just discovered from Fluttershy and others." "What?" Applejack asked in confusion. Sunset hissed, "It's about Yuko and Celtic. We're about to find out of what's really going on." Fluttershy and her group including Yuko and Celtic met up with Sunset's team at the food court. They're all brought their own drinks and snacks. They're now having discussion about Yuko and Celtic. As both of them explained about the situation, Sunset's group was filled shock and disbelief of their relationship, though Trixie has no clue due to her joined the group late. "T-That can't be right…" Twilight said in shock, "You two are mother and daughter?!" Yuko and Celtic nodded in confirmation. Applejack stuttered in shock, "B-But how?! I mean, you two are different." "It's complicated and long story," Celtic answered bluntly, "But you're all must keep this a secret. The last thing I want is my mother to get into trouble." Yuko nodded, "Indeed. No one must know about this. I've kept this secret for a long time." Though uncertain and confused by Yuko and Celtic's concerns, Sunset and the rest of her friends nodded firmly as they agreed to keep their relationship in secret. "As you're already know about me being eldest daughter to Yuko," Celtic said calmly. She looked down with concern and nervous, "But…" Yuko sighed, "Yuko is an alias. My true name is Athena…" Most of everyone was confused and surprised by Yuko's true name. Sunset was in shocked and disbelieved by the revelation. "Athena?" Twilight asked in surprise, "As in, Goddess of Wisdom from Ancient Greek?" "It's more than that…" Sunset stuttered in shock, "She's actually one of the Mystic Guardians. As in, she's the Equestria's Goddess of Wisdom." "HUH?!" Everyone asked in shock and surprise. "No freaking way!" Wheelie asked in shock, "That's like meeting the Prime!" Yuko and Celtic nodded in confirmation that that everything is true. They then proceeded with narrating their stories of how the mother and daughter got separated from ancient time. Flashback: Millions years ago, Yuko or known as Athena the Mystic Guardian of Wisdom has given the birth of her first daughter – Celtic. As her daughter was growing up, the Mystic Guardian raised and cared for her. She also taught her over history, science, magic and so on. She also trained her to be a strong and firm fighter. As she reached the age of 20, Celtic became the heir to Athena, and also become the Commander of Wisdom Seekers. Many Mystic Guardians and Mystic Warriors have highly and sincerely respected her for providing the advice to them and leading the army against the enemy force. "As you already know our relationship, both mother and I were very close to each other. She has raised me, taught me, cared for me and always support me a lot. Eventually, I became not only her heir, but also the Commander of Wisdom Seekers." Celtic narrated calmly and firmly, "Everyone respected and admired me a lot for both displaying my wisdom and battle performance. They often called me 'The Wise Princess'." While Athena and Celtic continued leading their army engaging and battling Chaos Heralds and their army, they find time to spend together for either working or enjoying their vacation. For years, they have remained close and inseparable together. "No matter how busy we are with the war against the Chaos Heralds; we both always find a time to spend together for either vacation or even battlefield." Yuko narrated, "We remained close for a long time until…" Celtic and her forces were sent to a small remote village for protection and military base of operation. Unfortunately, her forces are outnumbered and outmatched against the invasion. Nevertheless, they continued the fight as long as they can. During her battle at the small remote village, Celtic was badly wounded and injured as she was being surrounded by the Chaos Heralds and their soldiers. She has suffered casualties – losses of her battalions and the village. She was then captured and thrown into the prison, where she was being tortured and interrogated by her enemy for information of the Mystic Ponies. Despite the suffering she has, Celtic remained firm and determined to endure it as long as she can. She has strong belief that her mother would come and rescue her. "Until I was defeated and captured by the enemies during one of the fierce battles. I was sent to the enemy base for torturing and interrogating me for both information and details about my forces. I refused to give in and prayed that my mother would come and rescue me." Angered and furious with her siblings' decision, Athena stomped out and left the War Council Building. She has sent out her forces to find and rescue her daughter. She even gone out to do so. Despite the effort she has make, Athena and her forces have failed to find and rescue as they were forced to turn back and returned home after months have passed. "But I wasn't able due to my siblings refused to send forces. They believed that you were killed. I didn't believe it. I tried to lead and send my forces to find and rescue you but we ended up being defeated and forced to retreat." When Celtic was transferred to the Hollow (or known as Hollow Shade in Modern Era), she encountered and met young Lelouch Skarr at the palace's entrance. He was intrigued and mesmerized by her beauty and personality. She was surprised and amazed by how handsome and young he is. Nevertheless, she remained hostile and has her guard up for anything he did. "While I was still waiting for my mother's rescue force, I got transferred and moved to another location – The Hollow, home of Lelouch Skarr. Unlike any Chaos Heralds or the generals that I've encountered, he treated me warmly and sincerely like I'm his friend." Almost ten years has passed, Celtic has been imprisoned inside the Hollow. Instead of being treated as prisoners; Lelouch treated and taken care of her very kind, warm and humbly like she's one of his officers. Eventually, she has lowered her guard as she began her friendship and get to know more about him. Both of them have done various kind of activities such as reading books, working together to work and govern the land, training soldiers, helping and protecting villagers and many more. They often shouted and argued with each other over the decision and work they make. Both of them began falling in love with each other. At the Hollow Palace's balcony, Lelouch and Celtic were sitting on the decorated furniture. As Lelouch proposed the marriage ring to Celtic, she happily jumped and hugged him passionately and warmly. And at the same time, they both gave each other a long kiss under the sunset. During their Demonic Ritual of Marriage; both Chaos Heralds and their own army gathered at the hellish and demonically world, filled with sharp rocks and blazing hellish flames across the hallway, and even added some smelting pool and dead flowers on pots. Lelouch and Celtic, worn their demonically version of formal marriage suit and dress, stood and bowed humbly and firmly before the Demon God himself. As the demonically God raised his hand above her, his has glowed darkly and blasted yellowish beam on her, causing her yelled in pain and agony to feel the power on her. Aftermath, the beam dispersed, causing Celtic dropped and fell to the ground. She was grabbed and held by her newly wedded husband. As he helped her to stand, she revealed her eyes to be demonically eyes. She has become the Demon. As the Demonically Ritual of Marriage commenced, both Lelouch and Celtic married and became husband and wife. They approached to the hardened rock-like bed that is filled with demonically serpents and dragons within the smelting pool. As they sat down on it, they stripped out their suits and dresses, leaving them nothing. Lelouch and Celtic quickly holding and hugging each other, beginning their kiss by lips, neck and around their bodies while nuzzling and messaging wildly and happily. Witnessing their marriage and very first mating, Chaos Heralds and their minions gave cheers and applauds to Lelouch and Celtic. Celtic sighed, "Despite the hostility and suspicious I have for him, I lowered my guard down to get to know him, befriend him and then falling in love with him. It was then that I decided to marry him and become Demon." Receiving the news about her daughter has sold herself to Chaos Herald, Athena screamed in anger as she destroyed everything that is related to her and her daughter including the portraits. She and the rest of her siblings resumed their fierce war with Chaos Heralds at the end. With most of Chaos Heralds and their army defeated and destroyed, Lelouch was imprisoned within the form of statue and trapped beneath the Hollow. Athena confronted Celtic, who shown guilty and upset as she was forced to fight her. Despite of what she has done to her, the mother refused to fight and capture her own daughter. This allowed Celtic to escape before she get caught. "Because of that, I severed my ties with her for betrayal and turn on me and Mystic Guardians." Yuko said seriously and firmly, "But at the end of war, despite my furious and disappointment with you, I let you go and disappeared. I could not bring myself to hate and hurt you because you're my daughter." Over the years have passed, Athena went on to become the Mystic Councilpony of Wisdom, under the guise of 'Yuko the Great Black Witch' and continued her service to Mystic Realm for years. And at the same time, she secretly finds time to meet and spend time together with her daughter, without anyone finding out about it. "I appreciate it very much. So, we both decided to have secret meeting and vacation, and also distance ourselves from our allies. And of course, we avoided letting anyone know about this. The last thing we need is getting into troubles with them. We've been close together for a long time." Flashback Ends… After hearing the story from Yuko and Celtic, Sunset and her friends couldn't help but feel sympathy and pity for them both. It was truly tragic to hear it. Fluttershy quivered sadly, "Oh my… That was very sad story…" "Yeah!" Pinkie cried out loud with tears, "Too sad! Too sad!" "I… I don't know what to say…" Sunset said in shame, "I'm sorry for judging you harshly." "Don't be…" Celtic said dryly, "I don't expect anyone to forgive me easily after what I've done. After all, I am the beloved wife to Chaos Herald of Melancholy. So, it would be hard to trust me." "No kidding…" Blazefist agreed firmly. He sighed, "But I do know what it feels like to be apart from the very family you care about. I would do anything to be there for them, even if she's a criminal." Yuko nodded, "Now, you understand my predicament." "So, what's next?" Rainbow asked in frustration, "I've got nothing now." Rarity sighed, "Indeed. We know what the Memory Stone looks like but we have no idea where to start." "That's a good question," Sunset said in concern. Suddenly, she noticed her bag's glowing in red. She quickly took out her journal, realizing that Princess Twilight's sending the message to her. She hissed, "It must be Princess Twilight! She must have found something!" "Who?" Trixie asked in confusion, "Why call Twilight 'Princess'?" Twilight giggled uneasily, "Funny story, Trixie." Sunset opened her book and read it out, and even looked at the picture of rock formation. Twilight's voice spoke, "Sunset, we think the Memory Stone was buried under this rock formation. And if you don't destroy the Memory Stone by the time the sun sets on third day, all those memories will be erased forever." "Forever…" Pinkie spooked creepily. Everyone glared at her in annoyance. She giggled uneasily, "Sorry." "Damn it!" Applejack cursed as she slammed her fist against the table, "This can't be happening!" "No way! By tomorrow, everyone would forget about us if we don't find and destroy it?!" Rainbow asked in concern. Rarity screamed in fear, "THIS! IS! THE! WORST! POSSIBLE! THING! EVER! HAPPEN! TO! US!" "Apparently…" Twilight said in concern. She turned and looked at Celtic, "I don't suppose that you knew about it?" Celtic shook her head, "Nope. When I created the device, I never tested it but used it for my personal matters." "Of course, you do," Twilight remarked dryly with her rolling eyes. She then noticed Sunset's shaking hands, which were holding the book. The amber teenager has shock and disbelief looks. She asked, "Sunset, what's wrong?" "Did something happen?" Fluttershy asked in concern. "G-Guys… I know this rock formation," Sunset stuttered in fear and concern. Everyone was in shock. She quivered, "I know where to find it." "Really?!" Everyone asked in surprise. "Where is it?!" Applejack asked hopefully. "That's from Wallflower's Garden." Sunset answered in shock and hurt, "It's from the Canterlot High School's." Mane Six, two Mini-Cons and Spike gasped in shock and disbelief to hear it. This confused Yuko, Celtic, Blazefist, Terrorcreep, Flash and even unamused Trixie. "You're kidding me?!" Wheelie and Brains asked in shock. "The shy and timid girl we met from Year Book Committee Room two days ago?!" Rarity asked in shock and concern. "You think she has the Memory Stone?!" Rainbow asked in anger. "But why? Why would she do this to us?" Fluttershy asked in hurt and disbelief, "We haven't done anything wrong to her." "I don't know." Sunset admitted in concern while closing and putting down her book. Clenching her fists, she hissed in upset, "But we're going to find out." "Are you sure?" Twilight asked in concern, "I mean she is your friend." "I know." Sunset said firmly yet sadly, "But I have to be sure that she's not responsible of using the Memory Stone against us. She's too nice and innocent to do this." "If she is?" Applejack asked. Sunset sighed, "We have to stop her and get the Memory Stone before she could do more harm." "Then, what are we waiting for?" Wheelie asked impatiently, "Let's go and get her!" Brains chuckled slyly, "Yeah! Can't wait to crack her up!" Sunset groaned, "First thing first, we're not gonna crack her up. We're just gonna talk with her only. Okay?" Wheelie and Brains groaned, "Fine…" "What about us?" Celtic asked curiously, "Don't suppose you need us to handle this?" "No," Sunset declined, shocking Celtic and Yuko. She continued with sincere smile, "You both deserved the vacation after so many years of separation from each other and also the war you once have. We'll handle this. It won't be the problem." "Are you certain?" Yuko asked. Sunset nodded, "Yes, we are." Yuko sighed, "Very well. We appreciate your kindness. Just remember one thing, Sunset, your friend may not be the only one wanted this but she holds the key to your true enemy. He's the true cause of this from the start." "Huh? What?" Sunset asked in surprise. "Do anybody get it?" Rainbow asked in uncertain. Twilight shrugged, "Sorry, Rainbow. I also don't get it too." "All we can say is be mindful and not to jump the gun," Celtic said seriously and calmly. She sighed, "Anyway, my mother and I are going to try this rollercoaster since everyone keep commenting on how good it really is." Yuko nodded, "Remember what I told you." Yuko and Celtic got up from their seats. They then headed off to rollercoaster now. Sunset and her friends looked at each other, wondering if they understand Mystic Councilpony of Wisdom and her daughter's warning. Instead, they gave shrugged as the answer. Sunset and her friends left the Canterlot Mall. They're all heading straight to the garden, which is located at the back of Canterlot High School. And it was also the very same place, where Clover the Clever has hidden Memory Stone there. While looking around of their surroundings, Trixie spotted a sharp rock on her right. She whistled them to turn to her. She pointed on her direction. She then headed off. They're all followed her from behind. They moved and pushed the bushes aside until they arrived at the middle of garden, which has the same rock formation as Princess Twilight has depicted. But now, it is now decorated and surrounded by more various beautiful flowers and some rocks around them, and its middle has some bluish flowers and top of them is colorful weeding-like plants. Sunset and her friends awed in amazement and surprise by the garden landscape's design and decoration. And at the same time, Terrorcreep was sniffing around the garden like he's been detecting some kind of scent. Must be bad, no doubt… "Wow. It is beautiful," Fluttershy commented. "It sure is," Blazefist agreed while looking around of his surroundings, "Wallflower must have been very good at gardening, isn't she?" "She is," Sunset confirmed. She looked down in upset, "It's very upsetting and disappointing that no one wants to do the gardening. She maybe a president of the Gardening Club but she's all alone to handle this. I'm the only member to join and help her out in her Gardening Club." "Aw. That is so sad," Pinkie commented sadly. "Wow. You and her must have been good friends," Flash commented in surprise. Sunset sighed, "Yes, we were. She's the first friend I have since the Fall Formal fiasco." "Do you think she has the Memory Stone?" Twilight asked in concern. Rainbow cracked her knuckles, "If she does, I am so gonna-!" "Rainbow, cool off!" Sunset scolded Rainbow. She continued, "We don't know if she knows and used it. If she did, she must have a reason to do it." "Do what?" The gentle yet soft voice asked, alerting everyone. They turned and looked at Wallflower, who was confused and worried. She asked, "Uh, can I help you?" And just before Trixie could ask, Sunset asked firmly and seriously, "Wallflower, do you know who I am? Or any of my friends?" "Of course, I do. You're Sunset Shimmer. You're my friend. I know your friends since grade 3 except Twilight, who just join us after the Friendship Game. Why wouldn't I be-?!" Wallflower paused at once, realizing of what she said. She found Sunset and her friends were in shock and surprised. She gulped, "Uh oh!" "Ah-Ha!" Wheelie, Brains and Spike exclaimed in anger. "So, you're really behind this! I'm gonna-!" Rainbow exclaimed in fury. Blazefist grabbed and held her back. She groaned, "Let me at her! Let me at her!" "Calm down, Rainbow! Don't jump the gun yet!" Blazefist said seriously. He glared at Wallflower, "I'm sure she has explanation to do." "Better be good one," Rainbow remarked dryly, "Or else…" "I wish I could but now is not the time," Wallflower said in concern and fear, "You're all have to get out of here before he comes back." Everyone was shocked and confused by Wallflower's statement. Sunset, was not in good mood, approached to her friend. "Not until you tell us of what's really going on, Wallflower," Sunset said firmly. Wallflower looked scared and uneasy as she backed off a bit. Frustrated and impatient with her friend, she then grabbed and held Wallflower's hand, "Better yet, I'm gonna have to look through your memories to find out!" Using her geode's ability, Sunset's eyes glowed brightly in white as she ventured into Wallflower's memories to find out of what's really going on and if she's truly responsible for erasing everyone's memories about her and her friends. Flashback: For a very long time since she entered the Canterlot High School, Wallflower did nothing but standing near against the wall and doing nothing during the Fall Formal. She was very timid and shy to talk with anyone or even performed dancing and singing as well. Three days after the Fall Formal, Wallflower shyly and nervously walking across the hallway while unable to talk with anyone else. She then spotted some bullies especially Trixie and her Illusionists berated and insulted her about being 'Sombra's Pet' and 'She-Demon'. Mane Five were nowhere to be seen or even be there for her. As soon as the bullies left her alone, she sighed in upset while leaned against the wall before dropped to the ground. She cried tearfully yet softly. Though she knew Sunset is a big bad bully and also being Sombra's pet, Wallflower couldn't help but feel sympathy and concern for her. She approached to her slowly and calmly. Seeing the shadow looming over her, Sunset sighed, "Please, just leave me alone. I get it. I'm the bully that I don't deserve to be treated to be good." Wallflower was annoyed a bit before sighed, "I was gonna asked if you want to join my club." "W-What?" Sunset asked in surprise. Wallflower nodded, "Yeah. My Gardening Club could use some new members to help out with gardening. I'm the only president and member in it." "Oh. I'm so sorry about it. I don't mind joining but you sure that you're okay with me? I mean people will harass you for letting me in." "Yeah, I'm okay with it. And besides, no one bothers about me. So, you should be safe from them for the moment. You're okay with this?" Sunset smiled warmly, "Yeah, of course. Plus, you could use some help." Touched and happy with the answer, Sunset and Wallflower shook each other's hands warmly and happily. They both became good friends. Ever since she joined the gardening club, both Sunset and Wallflower became very close friends for gardening, working on their homework and even having fun together such as watching movies, playing music and going to beach for almost a year. However, ever since the Battle of the Band and Friendship Game, Sunset did her best to help out her friends, Autobots and G.I. Joe to stop the enemies from destroying the world. The students and teachers cheered and gave the applause to them for saving the world. The students even asked them about their problems, and they helped out. The more time Sunset spent with her friends, the less time she has with Wallflower. Despite her newly rising of popular among the school, Sunset did her best to find some time to help her out with gardening and hanging out with her. And at the same time, she tried to encourage her to hang out with her friends but the shy girl made excuses of not able to come and do it. Prior to Camp Everfree, the students were gathered at the Canterlot High School. All of them were climbing up into the bus. Sunset was talking with Wallflower, near to the school entrance. "Come on, Wallflower, can't you just come and join us? It will be fun," Sunset insisted. Wallflower shyly and nervously rubbing her hand, "Sorry, Sunset. My dad needs some help. You know, being a mutant walking plant with fire powers, he needs some good water and soil to make sure he doesn't dry out." Sunset sighed, "Wallflower, your dad can handle with watering himself. Plus, he doesn't get dry out easily." "Sorry, Sunset. I can't. I really can't." "Wallflower, I'm not forcing you. I'm trying to help you to make more friends, so you won't be alone. Plus, the gardening club could use more members since I'm gonna be busy with other works. "I know, Sunset. I really wanted but I'm scared and worried to do it like what happens if they don't like me and my gardening. I'm sorry, Sunset. I need more time to deal with this." Disappointed with Wallflower's unable to make friends, Sunset sighed, "I-I understand, Wallflower. But please, try make some friends. It helps you more sociable and get some help with gardening." "I… I'll try," Wallflower answered shyly. Sunset headed off to the bus, meeting up with the rest of her friends. It is now heading off to the Camp Everfree. With everyone left for Camp Everfree, Wallflower was alone walking around the Canterlot High School. She then come across to the woodland forest. Upset and frustrated that her only best friend left her, she kicked the pebble hard on right. She then noticed a sharp rock behind the bushes. She walked through it until she came to the middle of the forest, which has three rocks. It shocked and surprised her. Spending almost a week, Wallflower has planted and decorated the rock formation with some new flowers and weeds on it. While she was digging out some dirt, she came across a strange ancient pouch. She opened it up, revealing a Memory Stone and ancient paper about it. She was in shock and surprise about it. Two days ago, Wallflower was inside her home's room, thinking over Sunset's invitation and also of her friends being there. She was looking at the Year Book, which has the picture of Sunset being mean. "Why can't those girls and Mini Jerks just leave me and Sunset alone? I mean I am her only first and best friend for being there for her." Wallflower asked in upset tone. She sighed while looking at the year book, "After all, you're Sunset Shimmer. Everybody loves you now. I wish everything is back the way it was. Just you and me while no one cares about you…" After getting some ideas, Wallflower turned and grabbed her bag as she is leaving and heading to another area. Heading to the Canterlot High School's garden, Wallflower arrived in the middle of rock formation, she took out both Memory Stone and scroll. While reading it carefully, Wallflower held on the Memory Stone, which is magically glowed in greenish color as it was preparing to unleash its spell. "It's just you and me, Sunset. Everyone can forget about how nice you are," Wallflower said dryly yet sadly with tears, "It's wrong but you're the only friend I have." "I'm afraid that we have other plans, child…" The mysterious calm yet cold voice spoke, spooking her. Seeing the shadow looming on her, Wallflower yelped in shock, "Huh?!" As Wallflower turned around to see the intruder, everything went buzzed wildly and blank. "WHAT?! What happen?!" Sunset's voice asked in concern. Flashback Ends… Sunset was in shock and disbelief as she let go of Wallflower's hand. The rest of her friends came and checked on her. They're all turned and glared at her. "So, is she the one?!" Wheelie demanded. Spike growled, "I would like to bite her!" Rainbow groaned while cracked her fists, "I am so gonna kick her ass!" Wallflower panicked frantically, "Wait! I didn't do it! Really!" "Likely story," Twilight said suspiciously. "Everyone, stop! Don't! She didn't do it!" Sunset exclaimed out loud, alerting everyone to turn and looked at her. She continued with shock, "She didn't do it." "What?!" Twilight, Applejack, Rarity and Pinkie asked in disbelief. "No way! No way!" Rainbow exclaimed angrily, "The rock formation?! She's the only one who remembers us?! It has to be her!" "Everyone, calm down!" Fluttershy shouted angrily. She sighed, "I'm sure there's explanation." "I didn't do it. And even if I did, I would have turn all of you against Sunset, not making everyone forgotten about you seven." Wallflower admitted in shame, shocking everyone. They turned and looked at Sunset, who nodded in confirmation. She continued, "It was someone else. He told me that he wants the revenge on you guys for ruining their revenge and vision." "Who did?!" Pinkie asked impatiently. Blazefist nodded, "That's what I would like to know too." "Get down!" Terrorcreep commanded firmly. And just before anyone could do anything, Terrorcreep dashed and pushed Fluttershy aside before someone swung and struck the knife at her. Everyone yelped in shock and concern as they quickly backed off at once. They armed themselves for the fight. And to their shock, the attacker was Cranky Doodle Donkey. "Mr. Cranky Doodle?!" Everyone asked in shock. Cranky chuckled, "So, you've discovered our little secret. I warned him that you would figure it out but the smart-ass always think his strategy is better than cruel way. So, I have to get rid of you." Rainbow screamed in fear, "I know Mr. Cranky is cranky but I didn't expect him to get evil!" "Why would he do this?!" Pinkie asked in concern. "I don't think it's him," Blazefist said suspiciously and seriously, "I believe he's an imposter!" "No, it is him," Terrorcreep said seriously, with his angry and determined narrowed eyes while holding tight on his Thunder Dual Axes. Fluttershy gasped, "Terrorcreep! Don't!" Cranky smirked, "I'd like to see you try, Batboy!" Cranky screamed out wildly as he charged and struck his knife at Terrocreep, who remained calm and firm to stand still. At the very last moment, he moved aside before punched and hit on his gut before slammed him to the ground. "What are you doing?!" Applejack asked in shock and concern. "Apprehending the criminal," Terrorcreep said firmly. While holding Cranky against the ground, Terrorcreep has his hand to grab and peal something out from his neck. It revealed to be mutated greenish leech-like with sharped legs and sharp mandibles. This shocked and scared Mane Seven and everyone else. Smelling the leech's scent carefully, Terrorcreep growled, "Here's the criminal we've been looking for." "What the hell is that?!" Rarity asked in shock and fear. Twilight screamed in fear, "It's a leech! Mutated leech!" "Not just Mutated Leech…" Terrorcreep snarled suspiciously, "It's Ripper!" "Ripper?!" Everyone asked in shock. "Who?!" Trixie asked in confusion. "Ripper is the murderer and one of Ultimate Warriors," Sunset said seriously yet concern, "I thought you killed him." "I thought I did until I recognize his scent," Terrorcreep said seriously and firmly while glaring at the leech, "I didn't realize that the man I killed is nothing but decoy for him to use." "And Cranky?" Pinkie asked hopefully. To her surprise, she found Cranky snored happily and peacefully. She giggled a bit, "What a relief." Terrorcreep glared at Ripper, "I'm gonna finish him off." "Wait! I have a better idea," Sunset said seriously and firmly. She grabbed and held tight on Ripper's Mutated Leech Form. She glared at him, "Alright, Ripper, you're gonna tell me of what I wanted to know!" Ripper screeched out in fear, feeling his whole body being held tight in grip. Sunset's eyes glowed in white as she's now entering his mind now. Flashback: Couple of months ago, Mane Seven and their allies were engaging and battling with Ultimate Warriors. Terrorcreep was facing at Ripper, who was holding Fluttershy as his hostage while amusingly attacking and injuring him. And just before he could finish him off, the shy girl quickly activated her Animal Ruby to access her Bear Spirit. She bit on his hands and stomped on his legs, injuring him. Terrorcreep charged as he swung and cut off his enemy's hand, freeing girlfriend. He then decapitated Ripper's head off. As Terrorcreep made comfort to Fluttershy, the true form of Ripper emerged out from the decapitated head. He screeched in fear as he quickly ran for his life. Aftermath, Death Tactic was arrested and send towards the prison truck. Ripper's Leech Form approached to the security guard, where he jumped and latched on him, controlling his next victim. He turned and looked at another security guard, who revealed to be Sushi Tsunami. They both smirked amusingly. With both Ripper and Sushi climbed on the prison truck's, they then drove off at once. Death Tactic smirked pleasingly that he has escaped the imprisonment. While driving the prison truck, Ripper groaned, "And now our master plan is ruin. So, what's next?" "We will withdraw to our new hidden base and plan our next attack," Death Tactic said calmly, "We just need more time. And next time, we will rise and take our revenge! And one day, the humanity will fall, for our departed Grand General!" "Good to hear..." Ripper said amusingly. Over couple of months; Death Tactic, Sushi and Ripper have laid low and hidden for a long time while keeping an eye on the situation especially the magical artifacts and geodes. And so far, Mane Seven and Dragon Strike Force have responded and taken care of the situation especially finding and getting the Elemental Geodes until the very day Wallflower has uncovered Memory Stone. This attracted the former Grand Admiral's attention. Death Tactic and his trusted allies arrived at the Canterlot High School's garden. They all spotted Wallflower's holding the Memory Stone. They then slowly approached to her from behind. "It's just you and me, Sunset. Everyone can forget about how nice you are," Wallflower said dryly yet sadly with tears, "It's wrong but you're the only friend I have." "I'm afraid that we have other plans, child…" Death Tactic said firmly. Seeing the shadow looming on her, Wallflower yelped in shock, "Huh?!" As Wallflower turned around and found Death Tactic stood before her, Sushi quickly used her Water Manipulation to grab and hold tight on Wallflower. Ripper passed the Memory Stone and scroll to him. He smiled at it. "The Memory Stone?" Death Tactic asked amusingly while reading the instruction scroll, "An ancient Equestrian Artifact is capable of removing everyone's memories, and even some pieces? How interesting." "W-What are you gonna do to them?!" Wallflower asked in concern. "Erased their memories for good, obviously," Sushi said sinisterly. Ripper chuckled, "Good one. This will give us the chance to take care of them." "No. I will not fight and kill them when they're amnesia. There is no honor to defeat your opponent for this pathetic revenge," Death Tactic disagreed. He smiled calmly as he held tight on Memory Stone, "But I have a better way to deal with them. I want them suffered the way we have since the destruction of Ultimate Warriors. All will be forgotten about them. Now, Memory Stone, heed my command. Erase the girls' existence from this world's memories!" As commanded, Memory Stone shot its powerful beam to the sky, where it blasted multiple beams across the world. It affects almost everyone including Dragon Strike Force as they're losing the memories about Sunset and her friends. All of them have been extracted and stored inside the Memory Stone. "Perfect…" Death Tactic remarked in pleasant tone while looking at the Memory Stone. He turned and looked at Ripper, "If you find out about this, Sunset; then you are too late. I know you have defeated and captured Ripper for getting information of what happens. By the time you've discovered this, it is too late for you to escape." "What was that about?" Ripper asked in confusion. Death Tactic smiled, "Let's just say that I have set up the contingency plan. Or better yet, our little girls will spring the trap." "W-What?!" Sunset's voice asked in shock and concern. Flashback Ends… Returning back to reality, Sunset looked shock and scared while looking at Ripper. Everyone turned and looked at her, wondering if she's alright or not. "Sunset? What did you find?" Flash asked in concern. "We have to get out of here now!" Sunset exclaimed in concern. Suddenly, the ground was quaking and shaking wildly and crazily. This even shocked Sunset and her friends as well. Couple of giant watery tentacles emerged out from the ground. They all grabbed and held a tight grip on all of them sans Wallflower, who backed away from the scene. Ripper panicked and screeched in fear, crying out for help. Death Tactic and Sushi have arrived at the scene. The witch was using and controlling her water manipulation to hold grip on her enemies. The former Grand Admiral helped picking up and placing him against the unconscious soldier's neck. This awakened him from his unconsciousness. The newly host for Ripper donned his uniform, mask and hat. "Finally, took your bloody time," Ripper grumbled angrily. "Shut up, idiot," Sushi snarled at him. She turned and looked at Sunset and her friends, "Looks like your plan works, Admiral." "Indeed. You have fallen to our traps," Death Tactic commented proudly. Sunset groaned, "I shouldn't have known that you were behind this! And if I have to guess correctly, you were responsible for using virus to control and erase our background and history, making sure that we really don't exist." "Jerks!" Wheelie, Brains and Spike snapped angrily. Death Tactic smiled proudly, "Indeed, I am. My artificial intelligent virus works perfectly, courtesy of K.S.I. It has erased everything. And no one believed you." "Guess again, admiral," Blazefist said dryly. Terrorcreep nodded, "Indeed. Despite not able to remember much, we trust these girls." Fluttershy smiled, "Aw…. Thank you, Terrorcreep." Death Tactic scoffed a bit, "Minor setbacks. With you all aside, we can proceed with our plans." "You won't get away with this!" Sunset said determinedly and firmly. Flash nodded, "Yeah! We're gonna stop you from making your plans! Whatever it was!" Death Tactic smiled while holding the Memory Stone, "Simple. With this artifact, I will erase the world's memories for good. The humanity will be no longer control and rule the world. They will be our slaves for good. Our kind will remember Nezha as the hero and our savior." He scoffed a bit, "Not that it matters. You will be forgotten about this." "Over our dead mind, jerks!" Rainbow snarled. "She's right! We won't let you!" Twilight snapped firmly. Rarity growled, "We will stop you even if we have to dug ourselves out of our graves! This will be the last thing you ever remember!" Applejack sighed, "Really, Rarity?!" "It doesn't matter. Goodbye for now," Death Tactic said calmly as he held his Memory Stone, aiming at his enemies, "Let's just... forget this ever happened!" Just before anyone could do anything, Death Tactic aimed and blasted his Memory Stone at Sunset and her friends. It created powerful bright light to blast and blind all of them. Sunset and all of her friends groaned and moaned in pain, slowly regaining their consciousness and waking up. They soon found themselves in the old dungeon-like. They're all in chains and shackles. All of them were in shock and confused. "W-What the?!" Rainbow asked in shock and concern, "How the heck did we end up like this?!" Rarity screamed in fear, "Prison makes me look fat!" "I haven't even done anything wrong!" Trixie cried. Blazefist groaned, "But more importantly, where the heck are we?! Why are we in the prison?" "No idea." Terrorcreep admitted in concern, "But I really don't like it." "Do any of you remember how we end up here?" Fluttershy asked in concern and worry. Sunset hissed, "I... don't remember." To be Continued… Review and Suggest… > Remembrance (V) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unable to recall what has happened, Sunset and her friends have been imprisoned in the dungeon. All of them grunted and struggled to break the chains. Unfortunatelu, the chains proved to be strong and hardened; and not even Blazefist's Fire, Applejack's Strength, Pinkie's Explosive Sweets and Terrocreep's Thunder could do it. They're groaned in frustration and annoyance, stopping to break free from the chains. "Damn it!" Flash exclaimed in frustration while struggling with the chains. He grunted, "How did we end up here?!" "Why are we the prisoners?! We haven't done anything wrong!" Rarity whined in upset. "Yeah. I thought we were supposed to find Wallflower Blush at the school garden?" Pinkie asked in confusion. "Trixie demands the lawyer now! You have no right to silence Trixie! She hasn't done anything wrong! But Trixie swears it! She has nothing to do with these nobodies! Honest Trixie speaks the truth!" Trixie exclaimed and panicked in fear, "Trixie demands to be freed now!" "Wow. Thanks for the help, Trixie." Rainbow remarked dryly. "Forget about this," Twilight said firmly, "If we don't get outta here and figure out who has the Stone, in a few hours, it'll be too late to restore everyone's memories. We'll lose our friends forever." Applejack groaned, "You don't have to tell me twice, Twi!" "But one problem! How are we supposed to catch someone who can erase our memory every time we get close to catching them?" Trixie asked in annoyance. Sunset hummed thoughtfully over Trixie's question. She remembered the discussion she has with her pony princesses. She said confidently, "By being clever!" "I hate to break it to you, Sunset. But how is that gonna help us to solve this problem?" Terrorcreep asked in annoyance. Blazefist sighed, "He does have the point. We didn't have a camera to record the event." "Maybe…" Sunset admitted in concern. She then noticed a piece of paper inside one of her boots. She took it out. She unfolded the paper. It revealed 'Ask Wheelie and Brains'. She gasped, "That's it! Wheelie! Brains! Have you recorded the event as I instructed?" "Well, duh! We do," Wheelie confirmed, "And of course, we remember the event." "You're kidding me?!" Rainbow asked in annoyance, "Why didn't you say so?!" Brains scoffed, "Coz Sunset told us not to say anything until she gives the word. She told us to play dumb that we got our memories erased too." "Seriously?" Trixie asked bluntly. Everyone looked at her. Sunset blushed in embarrassment, "Sorry, guys. Didn't want to risk it. Or else, the suspect could dismantle them into pieces or even put virus to kill them. So, they have to play dumb and confused that they've also got their mind erased like us." "Because they're Cybertronians. Magic don't work on them," Twilight concluded Sunset's reasons, "Really clever but risky. They could have dismantled the bots." "Every mission comes with risk, Twilight. I risk my life for joining and trusting you for this investigation, even though I'm doubtful and skeptical," Blazefist said firmly and seriously. He looked at Wheelie and Brains, "Show us, guys." Wheelie and Brains cracked up their fingers. The mad Mini-Con transformed into his laptop. Wheelie took out a chip from his back as he inserted it into his friend's laptop form. It then revealed all the events that is happening from yesterday. They have learned and found out the identity behind the suspects now. Everyone was in shock and disbelief of it. "It was Death Tactic," Sunset said angrily, "He knew that I would figure it out and go after Wallflower for this, so he set a trap to erase our memories. I can't believe we fell for it!" "And I can't believe that Ripper is a mutated leech," Terrorcreep grumbled angrily. "I can't believe that it wasn't Wallflower," Rainbow complained, "If it was, I would have beat her up! For ruining our lives!" "Rainbow Dash!" Fluttershy scolded firmly. Rainbow groaned, "I was just saying." "You know I kinda surprise that he ignored the bots," Twilight commented in surprise, "I thought the former admiral would have figure out that Wheelie and Brains are Cybertronians and immune to magic. He would have dismantled them. So, why?" Applejack shrugged, "Probably think that they're same as us." Twilight hummed in concern, "Maybe." "I have a question!" Pinkie asked. Everyone looked at her. She asked, "What happen to Wallflower Blush?" "Name's not ringing a bell." Trixie commented. "I almost forgotten about her," Sunset exclaimed in concern, "Where is she?" "I'm right here, you know…" Wallflower's voice called. Everyone turned and looked at the corner, where she was chained against the wall. She waved awkwardly and shamefully, "H-Hi…" Rainbow groaned, "Wow. You've got a lot of nerve for you to show around here! Because of you, our friends are gonna forget about us by sunset! And the worse is that Death Tactic is gonna make the world forgot and make the mutants rule the world! I hope you're happy!" "Yeah. All this to make everyone turn on Sunset, so you and her can be the only friends together! You bastard!" Wheelie snarled. "Rainbow! Wheelie!" Twilight snapped firmly. Fluttershy spoke angrily, "That is not nice and rude! You can't just-!" "No. They're right." Wallflower said in shame. She sniffed a bit, "She's right. If I hadn't found that Memory Stone, then none of this could happen." "I don't think it makes any difference," Blazefist disagreed, "They would have found and use it, with or without you." Wallflower shook her head in disagreement while sobbing, "Still it was no excuse. All I ever want is Sunset be with me because she's the only friend I ever had. And you girls took her away from me. You all spend a lot of time with her for hangout, club, fun and even saving the world. I just want her be with me! That's all I want." Everyone could help but feel sympathy and pitiful. Sunset sighed, "Oh, Wallflower…" Wallflower sighed as she took out the paper of student photos including her missing picture. She began singing about herself being sad and alone. No one has ever notice, greet or even befriend her since she was reenrolled into school. She also recalled her fond memories she shared with Sunset for the rest of her life. Wallflower: You don't see me fitting in I'm sitting here alone Right beside my shadow Always on my own Wallflower: If I could share my wildest dreams Maybe they would see I'm more than just a wallflower There's so much more to me Wallflower: I'm invisible, invisible A droplet in the mist Invisible, invisible It's like I don't exist Everyone especially Sunset couldn't help but feel more pitiful and sympathy towards her. All she ever wanted is people notice and acknowledge her existence. Wallflower: Right beneath my picture This is what you'll read A laundry list of nothings Not likely to succeed Wallflower: A yearbook with blank pages That no one wants to sign A memory forgotten Until the end of time Wallflower: I'm invisible, invisible A star fading in dawn Invisible, invisible Won't be long before I'm gone Won't be long before I'm gone… After singing about her struggles, Wallflower turned and looked away from Sunset and her friends. She's too ashamed and upset to face them over the Memory Stone. While most of them were sympathy and feel sorry for her loneliness; others such as Rainbow, Wheelie and Brains were too annoyed and upset with her involvement. Trixie hummed thoughtfully, "She's kinda right about you all." "What was that?!" Rainbow asked in annoyance. "Is that supposed to be a joke?!" Wheelie asked angrily. "Actually, the Wise and Moralizing Trixie was making a point." Trixie said firmly and calmly. She turned and looked at Sunset, "You said that Wallflower is your first friend, right?" "Of course, she is." Sunset said firmly. Trixie hummed, "Is she even your best friend from the start?" "What do you mean?" Sunset asked in annoyance. "I mean you spend a lot of time with your best friends more than your first friend." Trixie said firmly and sincerely, "You did say that you care for her, but have you ever been there for her? Have you supported and encourage her to be more socialize and make more friends? Have you ever thought about her feelings in the first place?" "What's that supposed to be mean?!" Rainbow asked in annoyance. After thoughts of what Trixie has said, Sunset shown concern and worried yet sad looks as she said, "You're right…" "Wait?! What?!" Wheelie asked in shock. "What do you mean, darling?" Rarity asked in confusion. "I'm a horrible friend. That's what Trixie mean," Sunset said in shame, shocking everyone including Wallflower and Trixie. She sighed, "I haven't been a good friend at all…" "T-That's not what I mean!" Trixie insisted in concern. "Come on, Sunset! Don't be ridiculous! That's not true!" Applejack protested. "It's true," Fluttershy agreed, "You're a good friend." Twilight nodded, "Sure you get upset and angry but because you worked very hard to protect and keep us safe from dangerous magic. You helped a lot of people." "Not all," Sunset disagreed. She turned and looked at Wallflower, "I'm sorry, Wallflower." "For what?" Wallflower asked in shock and disbelief, "You didn't do anything wrong! I did! In my mind, I wanted you to be with me as a friend and not with the girls! I was so selfish that I wanted to make Memory Stone to erase your friends' memories to forget how nice you were. Because of that, Death Tactic has it and now using it to make the world forget and thinking that mutants rule while humans are slaves." Sunset shook her head in disagreement, "No, Wallflower. Because I wasn't there for you, I didn't help you out much. I should have encouraged you to talk and befriend with more friends than letting you be. Then, you wouldn't feel so lonely and sad for your life. I'm really sorry, Wallflower." "Sunset…" Wallflower said in surprise. She then sobbed and cried in tears, "I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry! I'm really so sorry!" Since she's close to Wallflower, Fluttershy moved and held her close to her for comfort. The timid girl cried and sobbed in tears. Brains groaned while crying, "Why is crying make me sad?!" Wheelie screamed with tears, "I don't know! I can't stand it too!" "I hate to break the tearful conversation but we have other bigger things to worry about," Terrorcreep said firmly and seriously, "Like how the hell we get out of here?!" Blazefist grunted, "He's right. We don't have much time now." "How?" Applejack asked as she struggled with breaking the chains, "I can't get them off!" "The chains are the designed to prevent our powers to activate and break them out," Terrorcreep explained firmly. He grunted as he used a pin to pick the lock, "It won't be easy to pick them out." Rainbow groaned, "We'll never get out of here!" "Have you ever tried 'asking'?" Celtic's voice asked amusingly. Everyone gasped in shock and surprise. They looked at the prison cell door's window. Through the window, they found Yuko and Celtic waved at them. They called out to their names in surprise. Sunset asked, "H-How did-?!" "We followed you all the way here," Celtic answered teasingly. "Really?!" Pinkie asked in surprise, "What about your vacation?" "It can wait," Yuko said calmly, "For now, we help you out. Time is running short." "Well, we can't get out of these chains. They're very strong to withstand everything we've got," Blazefist said in concern. Yuko smirked slyly, "I wouldn't be sure of that." Lifted her finger up, Yuko gave a gentle blew on hers. She then placed it on the door's lock pad, which exploded. The door was opened. Celtic chanted firmly and calmly, unlocking the chains and freed Sunset and her friends out. They all cheered happily that they're freed. "T-Thanks." Sunset said in relief, "I don't know what to say." "Go and save the world before it's too late." Yuko said firmly. Sunset and her friends quickly moved out at once, finding and hunting down Death Tactic before he could activate and use Memory Stone on the world. Blazefist make contact to his team, hoping that they responded to him and deal with the enemy at once. Upon his arrival to Canterlot High School, Death Tactic, Ripper and Sushi Tsunami emerged out from the van, along with his personal Elite Guards. They're all armed with their blasters. They're now approaching to the school. "It is time to fulfill Lord Nezha's ambition. Nothing can stand in our way." Death Tactic said firmly, watching the sun slowly setting down. To his shock and surprise, he found Shadow Dragon and his team stood before him. He asked, "What are you all doing here?" "Arresting you, Death Tactic for removing our memories of our girlfriends and friends we knew about," Shadow Dragon said firmly and seriously, shocking Death Tactic. He continued, "Blazefist told us of what really happen and what you really planned with Memory Stone!" "What?!" Death Tactic asked in shock and disbelief. Thinking of how Blazefist was able to remember the event and called his team, Death Tactic realized of what's happening. Turned and glared at Ripper, he gritted his teeth, "Ripper, you imbecile!" "He's lying! He has to be!" Ripper protested in fear. "Don't think so," Blazefist's voice disagreed, attracting Death Tactic and his forces to turn and look back. He continued, "It's over, now." Death Tactic narrowed his angry eyes, "Just as I suspected. You did not dismantle the Minicons as I have instructed!" "B-But, sir! They lost their memories too! They didn't react or even take us out," Ripper protested. "They're robots, idiot! They can't be affected by magic!" Sushi snapped angrily. "Why don't you give us back the Memory Stone? Then, you and your buddies can get out," Sunset said firmly and seriously. "I don't think so. I refuse to concede defeat. I am close to achieve my lord's ambition," Death Tactic said firmly and seriously, "Tsunami! Ripper! Finish them off! Do not fail again!" "Yes, admiral!" Sushi Tsunami and Ripper exclaimed firmly. Sushi Tsunami summoned and unleashed the Tsunami Strike at Sunset and her friends. Rarity quickly summoned the Diamond Barrier to block the attacks. Ripper and some of his Elite Guards charged and attacked Shadow Dragon and his team, who got surprise and engaged them at once. As his forces are dealing with Mane Six and Dragon Strike Force, Death Tactic and his five Elite Guards brought a large mechanism with a tube-like and satellite on top as they marched straight into the school. Blazefist looked up and found them getting away. "Damn it! They're getting away! We have to stop them!" Blazefist said firmly, "I'm going after him." Terrorcreep nodded, "You're gonna need some help." "We're gonna give you some backups," Sunset said firmly, with the rest of her friends agreed as well. Sushi Tsunami hissed angrily, "You're going nowhere, fools!" Sushi Tsunami continued pouring Tsunami Strike against Rarity's Diamond Barrier, which slowly form cracks and breaking her defense. Pinkie threw couple of explosive cupcakes at her, shocking and blinding her for the moment. Rainbow sped up and charged straight at the Ultimate Warrior, giving the latter a hard punch before kicking her off. Blazefist, Terrorcreep, Sunset, Flash and Fluttershy moved out at once. They headed straight to the Canterlot High School. The rest of Mane Five are now engaging and fighting off Sushi Tsunami, who summoned her Tsunami Scythes. She screamed in fury as she swung and struck at Mane Five, who barely dodge and evade the attacks. She continued swinging and slamming her scythes at them. Rarity used her Diamond Barriers to block the attacks and protect her friends from harm. Applejack jumped and slammed a punch at her face to the ground. The Ultimate Warrior summoned and launched her Hydro Pump to knock her off. Rainbow charged and gave her couple of punches from directions. And just before the daredevil could kick her, Sushi Tsunami used her elastic water to grab and slam her around before thrown straight at Applejack. She turned her attention to others but got hit by couple of explosive sweets and pebbles by Twilight and Pinkie. This annoyed and irritated her to summon and blast her Water Shot to knock her out. She got trapped within the Diamond Barriers by Rarity's Magic. She screamed angrily, summoning her Water Torpedo Shards to break out and knock her out. Sushi Tsunami summoned her water elastic whips to grab and coil up Mane Five. They tightened the grip on them, squeezing very hard and chocking them very hard. She then summoned her Tsunami Blades, preparing to finish them off. At the very last moment, Pinkie managed to throw some explosive sweets on face, blinding her to free them. Rainbow charged and gave some punches on her before kicked her off. Applejack grabbed and swung the lamppost at her off. Twilight levitated and thrown her straight to the electrical generator, giving her powerful electrical shocks. Sushi screamed in pain as she tried to use her water tentacles to attack but pushed and held back by Rarity's Diamond Barriers. The generator has shocked her to death. Dragon Strike Force battled and engaged Ripper and the Elite Guards. They firmly and determined defeated and killed the guards. Ripper laughed insanely and wildly as he swung and thrust his twin knives at them. They all dodged and evaded the attacks at once. Aqua and Icy gave the Ice Punches on his face and guts. Flare Tiger jumped and kicked him off. Saber blasted his Wind Storm to blow him off. Shorty summoned his Vine Whip to grab and slam him to the ground. Tailtech took out his Stun Gun, giving electrical shocks on Ripper's back. The Mutated Leech emerged out from the host's neck. He was about to escape but got trapped and imprisoned by Laxtinct's Walls of Fortress. Shadow Dragon jumped as he slammed and struck his Darkness Blade on the leech's back, killing for good. Both Mane Five and Dragon Strike Force regrouped. Though the latter unable to remember the former, they're all cheered happily and wildly that they have won. As Sunset and her friends were battling the enemies; Yuko, Celtic, Trixie and Wallflower were inside the van, watching the event. Wallflower hissed, "We've gotta help them now!" "Absolutely not," Yuko disagreed, "We agree to Sunset that we watch over you, making sure that you don't get into trouble." Celtic nodded, "The last thing they need is you get hurt!" "They do have the point. I mean, both of us are not fighters," Trixie said in concern. Wallflower groaned, "Damn it…" After reaching to the top of Canterlot High School, the Elite Guards were setting up the large mechanism on the rooftop. Death Tactic was holding the Memory Stone, preparing to insert it to machine and begin his master plan. "Death Tactic! Stand down now!" Blazefist ordered firmly as he and his team arrived on the rooftop. He continued while holding his Falcon Spear, "It's over now! Give up now!" "Give us back the Memory Stone!" Sunset demanded firmly. "No!" Death Tactic refused, "I will not fail to Nezha again. I will complete it. It is time for the Old Order to be replaced!" "Over our dead body!" Blazefist exclaimed determinedly. "That's something we can agreed," Terrorcreep said firmly. He turned and looked at Fluttershy, "While we handle the guards, take down the machine." Fluttershy nodded firmly as she and Flash stayed behind at once, ready for their friends' signals. Blazefist, Terrorcreep and Sunset charged and engaged Death Tactic and his Elite Guards. Three of them bravely and determined fought and engaged the enemy soldiers. And at the same time, they have to fight off the former Grand Admiral. Blazefist swung and slammed his Falcon Spear to knock and killed the Elite Guards. He launched both Fire Shots and Phoenix Firestorm at them as well. Terrorcreep swung and struck his Thunder Dual Axes at them, as well as unleashing both Thunder Fangs and Crimson Lightning at them. Sunset and Death Tactic were facing at each other. Armed with her War Fan, she charged and engaged a fist fight with him. With his Chameleon Stealth Style, he firmly and calmly blocked and deflected the attacks for couple of times. As soon as she thrust a punch on his face but blocked by his firm grip, he then activated and unleashed Shock Paralyze to stun her for the moment. He then blasted Wind Storm to blow her off. Terrorcreep jumped and struck his Thunder Dual Axes at Death Tactic, who firmly moved back. He swung and struck his dual blades at the Grand Admiral, who calmly and firmly dodged and evaded the attacks for couple of times. He then struck back at him twice. Armed with his Falcon Spear, Blazefist prepared to engage Death Tactic, who summoned and wielded his spear as well. They both swung and struck the spears at each other for couple of times before clashed again for the moment. And just before the commander could do anything, the admiral struck a punch on his guts before using his knee to kick on his face. He then swung and struck his spear in knocking and giving cuts on him for few times. He then kicked him off. Sunset and Terrorcreep helped Blazefist to stand up. Three of them charged and engaged Death Tactic, who firmly and calmly fight back. Seeing their friends are fighting off the enemies, Flash and Fluttershy quickly sneak pass by them and approached to the machine. They found five guards were guarding it. They charged and engaged two teenagers, who quickly turned and ran away at once. As they kept on running around the large dome, they returned to the machine. They all halted before it. "What now?" Fluttershy asked in concern. "On my signal," Flash said firmly. Elite Guards have returned and charged straight at him and nervous Fluttershy. At the very last moment, they're getting close to them. He shouted, "Move!" Flash and Fluttershy moved aside at once, allowing the Elite Guards to knock and ram at the machine. He picked up the grenade and threw it at them. It exploded, destroying the machine and killing the enemy. And at the same time, it also destroyed the edge part of rooftop, causing everyone to fall. Mane Five and Dragon Strike Force gasped in shock and concern, witnessing the debris of rooftop are falling upon them. They quickly make the run for their lives. While still running, the debris fell and slammed on the ground, causing powerful shockwave to knock them including Sunset and her team away from it. Yuko, Celtic and Wallflower have seen the event. The timid friend groaned in frustration as she refused to stand and do nothing now. "I've had it!" Wallflower said firmly, "I'm gonna help them now! Don't stop me!" And just before Yuko and Celtic could do anything, Wallflower quickly stomped on their feet, making them yelped in pain. She then pushed Trixie against the window hard. She quickly opened the door and went to help Sunset and her friends. They grunted and grumbled in pain, slowly getting down form the van. They then went after her now. Sunset and her friends groaned and moaned painfully as they slowly recovering from the fall. They turned and looked up as they found angry Death Tactic, who has tattered uniform and cuts on his face, was holding tight on the Memory Stone. This alerted and scared them. "Since you wanted the Memory Stone back so badly, then I shall grant your wish!" Death Tactic exclaimed angrily, He armed and aimed the Memory Stone at Sunset and her friends. He shouted, "I shall erase your memories forever!" "Nooooooooooo!" Fluttershy screamed in concern. As Death Tactic fired his Memory Stone at Sunset and her friends, Fluttershy jumped in front of them as she took the hit instead. This shocked and scared them. "FLUTTERSHY!" Everyone shouted in concern. Feeling the Memory Stone's attacking her mind, Fluttershy groaned in pain, "I-I won't let you take everyone's memories especially Terrorcreep again! Fluttershy screamed in pain as the large portion of her memories involving her friends, family and the event she has been through of her life dragged and pulled out from her mind. They're all slowly entered and stored within Death Tactic's Memory Stone. Shocked, scared and hurt as everyone including Wallflower, Trixie, Yuko and Celtic can't help but watch her suffer to lose her memories. Feeling everything has been taken out, Fluttershy nearly dropped to the ground. With the last portion of Terrorcreep memory pulling out, she took a last glance at Terrorcreep with tears, "Terrorcreep! Don't forget me!" With the 'Terrorcreep Memory' pulled out and stored within the Memory Stone, Fluttershy groaned in pain as she fell to the ground hard. Hurt and heartbroken to recall the loss of his mother to mad father, Terrorcreep screamed, "Nooooooooooooooo!" Looking at the Memory Stone, Death Tactic hummed curiously yet calmly, "Brave yet foolish. Love is truly worth 'dying for'. She proven that very accurately." Everyone groaned and snarled angrily at Death Tactic for making mockery on Fluttershty's sacrifice of her memory to save her friends and loved one. Just before anyone could do anything, Fluttershy grunted in pain as she slowly got up from the ground. Instead of her usual self, she looked frightened and uncertain while looking around of her surroundings. "W-What is this place?! Where am I?! Who am I?! What's going on?!" Fluttershy asked fearfully and frantically. Everyone was in deep shock and disbelief to see her act like this. She truly has forgotten of what has happen. She cried and sobbed tearfully, "P-Please tell me! Please tell me…" Recalling what his girlfriend has done for him, Terrorcreep decided to repay the debt to her. He approached to her as he gave her warm and comfort hug, confusing and surprising her. Fluttershy turned and looked at Terrorcreep. She asked, "W-Who are you?" "I'm your friend," Terrorcreep answered firmly yet gently with a smile. He gave a kiss on her forehead, "More importantly, someone important in your life too." Sunset and the rest of her friends gathered around Terrorcreep and Fluttershy. They all smiled genuinely and warmly towards her. "And so are we," Sunset said calmly, "Like Terrorcreep said, we're also important in your life too." Twilight nodded, "You're our special friend. Nothing will change that." "You may not remember us..." Applejack said calmly. Pinkie nodded, "But we'd never forget of what you did for us..." Rarity added, "The sacrifice you made for us..." "The courage you have shown us today," Blazefist said proudly and firmly. "You have never give up on the people you care," Flash said sincerely. "The best thing you ever did!" Wheelie and Brains cried in tears. Rainbow kneeled down and gave Fluttershy a warm hug with sad tears, "Fluttershy, I love you for who you are. You will always be…" "Our friends!" Mane Six, Dragon Strike Force, Flash and Minicons declared proudly. Though confused and shocked by their declaration, Fluttershy can't help but smile and her eyes poured in tears of joy and relief. She gave a warm hug to both Terrorcreep and Rainbow. "Such lovely and sentimental moments you all have," Death Tactic remarked dryly. He armed and aimed his Memory Stone at Mane Six and their friends. He scoffed, "Pity that it must be erased…" "Nooooooooo!" Wallflower screamed firmly as she jumped and taken a hold on the Memory Stone. While struggling with getting it from Death Tactic, she growled at him, "I won't let you ruin Sunset's friendship again! Let it go, you monster!" Death Tactic groaned impatiently and frustratingly, "I've grown tired of this, human!" Impatiently grabbed the gun, Death Tactic aimed and shot on Wallflower's lower abdomen. The force has thrown her off straight at Sunset and her friends. "Wallflower! Nooooooooooooo!" Sunset screamed in fear. She groaned in anger while glaring at Death Tactic, "Death Tactic…" Death Tactic scoffed, "I'm surprise that you cared for her, despite what she has done." "I'm mad, but I care and forgive her," Sunset said firmly and seriously while holding injured Wallflower close to her. She narrowed her angry eyes at Death Tactic, "It's called 'Magic of Friendship'. It's something that you and Nezha could never understand." Death Tactic gritted his teeth in fury, "Wrong. I understand it well. And you took my friend and my trusted allies away! I won't forgive you!" "Maybe if you had been a good friend, he would still be alive, asshole!" Sunset snapped back. She held tight on Wallflower "Like how I should be to Wallflower. Next time, I'll make sure she deserves better than this! She deserved friends." "We agreed," Twilight said firmly and agreement. As if being called upon, both Geodes of Harmony and Elemental Geodes activated its powers and lighted up brightly, blinding everyone's sights. Mane Seven and Dragon Strike Force have their clothes transformed into their Super Magical Warriors Mode. Blazefist's Suit is crimson-blackish Phoenix Armor Suit, Aqua's cyan colored Tiger Armor, Saber worn greenish-yellowish colored Dragon Armor, Laxtinct worn brown colored muscular Tortoise Armor, Terrorcreep's navy-black colored Bat Armor, Shorty's white colored Rhino Beetle Armor, Tailtech worn orange colored fox themed armor, Icy worn lighter blue Penguin Theme Armor and Flare Tiger worn blazing yellowish and reddish lion themed armor. All of them armed themselves and faced at Death Tactic, who is shocked and disbelief of what he's witnessing now. "No! No!" Death Tactic exclaimed in denial, "This is not happening!" Sunset narrowed her angry and determined eyes as she declared, "You have magic you do not understand! But it is nothing compared to the Magic of—!" Pinkie interrupted, "Yeah, yeah, we get it. Light her up, ladies!" As commanded, both Mane Seven and Dragon Strike Force held each other's arms, powering and charging up their super powerful beam. Death Tactic was about to fire his gun again, but Trixie threw some smoke bombs at him, causing him to be blinded and coughed. This allowed two teams to unleash and fire their beams straight at the Memory Stone, which slowly formed cracks. It exploded and knocked Death Tactic straight at the school's stairs. And at the same time, all the portions of everyone's memories floated around and returned to owners, restoring their forgotten memories including amnesia Fluttershy. Both Mane Seven and Dragon Strike Force slowly descended and dropped to the ground. They all groaned and moaned in pain, just recovered from regaining their stolen memories. They slowly get up from the ground. They then looked at each other. "T-Terrorcreep?" Fluttershy asked hopefully with tears. Terrorcreep smiled with tears, "Fluttershy! You remember!" Both Fluttershy and Terrorcreep rushed and gave each other warm hug, followed by kissing by lips warmly and passionately. Same thing happened to the rest of their friends as well. Flash and Sunset hugged each other warmly. Shadow Dragon held and hugged Twilight close to him. Rainbow cheered as she jumped and hugged Aqua, who got surprised yet happy to hug back. Blazefist approached them as he gave them a pat. Shorty apologized to Rarity, who rebuffed angrily over his attitude towards her. Nevertheless, she gave him a kiss, which he responded to kiss her back. Applejack jumped and hugged Saber to the ground hard. Laxtinct and Pinkie gave each other a high-five. The rest of their friends cheered wildly and happily that they're got their memories back. "I remember everything, Sunset! We really did date after the Battle of the Band!" Flash cheered. Sunset smiled warmly, "I'm so happy to have you and the rest back, Flash." "We're so sorry for forgetting about you, Twilight," Shadow Dragon apologized in shame. "It's alright. It's not your fault," Twilight said warmly and calmly. Everyone chattered and muttered in shame while apologize to Mane Seven, who responded that everything's alright. They all turned and faced at Death Tactic, who is badly injured and burnt by the Memory Stone's explosion. Death Tactic coughed painfully, "N-No…. No… No…." "It's over, Death Tactic. You've lost," Sunset said firmly, "Give up!" Death Tactic armed and aimed his gun at Sunset and her friends, who armed themselves for the fight against him. Wanted to kill them so badly, he was shaken in fear and shame to do it. Instead, he placed the gun under his chin and pulled the trigger, shooting his brain out from his head. He then dropped and fell on the stair hard. He has committed suicide. "Okay. That is very dark," Pinkie commented in shock and scared. "Well, he deserves it." Wheelie remarked dryly. Brains nodded, "Yeah! Justice is served!" Blazefist sighed, "Well, at least, it's over now." Forgetting of someone again, Sunset gasped in concern, "Wallflower!" Sunset turned and approached to Wallflower, who coughed and groaned in pain while covering and holding tight on her wounded lower abdomen. The rest of her friends came as well. "Wallflower!" Sunset exclaimed in concern while holding her friend's hand, "Hang on tight. Help's here now!" Wallflower grunted in pain with tears, "I… I… I-I'm-!" "Don't talk too much. Save your energy," Sunset said calmly and gently. She turned and looked at Shorty, "Shorty, can you save her?" Shorty checked on Wallflower's wounds carefully. He sighed in concern, "I can treat the wounds, but I'm not sure about the legs. The nerve system for her leg has been severely cut. And even if I did restore it, I don't know if she can walk." "No! You have to treat the wounds! Please, she can't live like this!" Sunset pleaded. Shorty looked away in shame as he has no other option to heal her leg paralyze. She hissed, "Please, is there anything we can help her?" "We can," Celtic said firmly as she and Yuko approached to them. She continued, "But Wallflower has to be the one to agree with it." Everyone was confused. Yuko continued, "I still sense her guilt and shame in her emotion. She felt she doesn't deserve the treatment after what she has done." Sunset turned and looked at Wallflower. She continued, "Wallflower, please stop blaming yourself for this mess. It's not your fault." Wallflower sighed, "But it's no excuse for my selfishness. I don't deserve this." "You deserve better," Sunset said sincerely while touching gently on timid girls' face. She continued, "A Great and Powerful friend helped me realize I wasn't there for you. You will always be my friend, Wallflower. No matter how insignificant or invisible they feel." Wallflower was touched by Sunset's gentleness. She sighed, "I've made my decision. I know what I needed the most." Yuko smiled warmly, "We're listening, child." A week later after the Memory Stone Incident, Yuko and Celtic have helped out Wallflower, and returned home and to their affiliation. Both Mane Seven and Dragon Strike Force, and also the rest of the students have received the Year Books. They're heading straight to the Canterlot High School's Garden. The garden is now filled with some new members including Derpy and Rose. The students were tending and planting new plants around the garden. Sunset and her friends greeted the new members warmly and calmly. Eventually, they found Wallflower, who is now sitting on her automatic wheelchair, chatting and talking with the members about the plants. "I've got a yearbook delivery for Best Gardener!" Sunset called. Wallflower turned her wheelchair to look at her friends. She rolled it towards them. She smiled warmly, "Hey guys!" "Hey Wallflower," Everyone greeted warmly. Kneeling down before Wallflower, Fluttershy asked calmly, "How are you, Wallflower? I hope you're alright with this." Wallflower smiled warmly, "I am. Thanks for asking." "You know, Wallflower, you could have accepted Yuko's help to heal your wounds," Twilight said calmly. Flash nodded in agreement, "Yeah. You can walk again." "I know, guys. But I wanted this. I deserve it." Wallflower said in shame. Sunset was about to speak. She interrupted, "I know what you're gonna say, Sunset. But it's okay. I wanted this. I'll live with it. In fact, she already helped me already." "Like what?" Wheelie asked in surprise. Wallflower smiled, "To have wonderful friends like you. And I'm a bit more sociable now, thanks to her. She granted my wish." "At the cost of your legs," Sunset said in shame and concern. Wallflower patted her shoulder gently while showing her gentle smile. She sighed, "Well, if you're happy, then I'm happy. And don't worry, this time, I'll be there for you." "I know you will." Wallflower said warmly, "Say, you said you're bringing the year book here?" Sunset smiled as she passed the Year Book to Wallflower, "Yup! Here it is, Wallflower." Wallflower opened the Year Book. She went through the pages until she come across to her Gardening Page, where she found the picture of her profile and works in the page. And to her surprise, she found more signatures around it. She looked at Sunset and her friends. They're all smiled warmly and sincerely at her. Felt pride and joy in her heart, Wallflower's eyes watered and poured in tears of joy. She approached and gave Sunset a warm hug. The latter returned it to her, followed by the rest of her friends. "I demand to speak to the yearbook president!" Trixie shouted firmly, alerting Sunset and her friends. They're all turned and looked back. They found her marching towards them. She showed her Year Book, which contain the page on her poster. She asked with mischievous smirk, "How did this get in here?" Sunset teased playfully with smirk, "A yearbook president never reveals her secrets!" Amused by Sunset's joke, everyone then gave out heartily and happy laughter about it. "I still don't get it why she has to help that bragger," Spike complained. Wheelie groaned, "She helped us out. So, Sunset helped her out." "If you ask me, Friendship has strange ways to make friends with anyone especially the bad guys," Brains grumbled. On the next day, both Mane Seven and Dragon Strike Force were gathered at the beach. They're all were having fun together this time. Rainbow and Aqua were surfing wildly and happily. Pinkie, Wallflower, Flare Tiger, Icy and Tailtech were building a sand castle. After putting sun tanned lotion on her skin, Rarity was reading her magazine while lying on her chair. Blazefist was swimming around the shore. Laxtinct was snoring and sleeping peacefully on the beach chair. Twilight, Shadow Dragon, Saber and Applejack were playing the volleyball. Fluttershy was snorkeling around the shore. Terrorcreep was reading book under the shelter's since he can't handle the sunlight when his torso was left exposed. Spike was chasing after some crabs. Wheelie and Brains were sneaking around to take a peek on the girls. Sunset was busy writing down on her journal, sending the message to Princess Twilight about the news. "Dear Princess Twilight, you can add a new ending to the archives. The Memory Stone is no more. Yuko and Celtic had a great vacation too. Thank you for your help. Give my best to Princess Luna, Ms. Yuko, Celtic and, of course, thank my second-best teacher Princess Celestia. Make sure she knows you're kidding when you say that, though. And also, tried not to be hard on Celtic because there's more to her than meets the eye. I'm happy to say everything is back how it used to be." Sunset sighed happily as she closed down her book. Suddenly, she got lifted up by Flash, who gave mischievous smirk, making her nervous and worried. And just before she could ask, he headed straight to the beach's shore, where he threw her off into water. She emerged out and gasped for air. Flash laughed at Sunset, who was annoyed and irritated by his prank. Smirked of the idea, she splashed the water at him. He yelped by surprise. He laughed back as he splashed back at her. Sunset and her friends were having great time at the beach.

Both Humane Seven and Dragon Strike Force are now at the beach for their relaxation and fun. Wallflower is also joining them as well. At the beach's seashore, Sunset was playing a new game in her cellphone called 'Treasure Hunt' while walking down the beach. Still busy playing a new game, she yelped in surprise, feeling something hard she just kicked. She looked down and found a glassed bottle with a strange scroll within. She picked it up while inspecting the bottle carefully. "No way…" Sunset said in disbelief. Sunset quickly get up and headed off to find her friends. She found Twilight, Pinkie Pie, Saber and Wallflower. Twilight was busy building and sculpturing sand statue of Spike. Pinkie was relaxing and tanning on her beach chair. Saber and Ace were stretching out calmly and firmly. Wallflower was collecting some shells in her bucket. Sunset approached to her friends. Saber was wearing yellowish singlet and bluish trunk while Wallflower worn brownish-beige colored striped swimsuit and sitting on her wheelchair. "Check this out! I found an actual real-life message in a bottle!" Sunset exclaimed happily as she shook the bottle for the scroll to come out. "Ooh! Is it a love letter? A secret recipe?" Pinkie asked excitedly, "Or, wait. Someone's trapped on a deserted island? We have to save them!" Wallflower gasped, "For real?!" "Nope. I just like to speculate it!" Pinkie joked happily. After getting the scroll out, Sunset looked at it. She gasped, "It's a treasure map." Saber, Twilight and even Ace looked at the map carefully. The naked mole rat whistled, "Treasure map! Yeah!" "It looks just like this beach." Twilight said in surprise. Saber hummed curiously, "What a coincidence." "Amazing! Let's go!" Pinkie cheered. Wallflower hummed in concern, "I don't know. Is it dangerous?" Sunset approached and held on the wheelchair's handler. The amber colored teenager smiled at her friend, "Don't worry, Wallflower. We've got this. We won't let baddies hurt you. Plus, consider this to be your first adventure." Everyone chattered and nodded in agreement with Sunset. Though still worried and scared, Wallflower also knew that her friends will be there for her now. She nodded reluctantly to accept her friend's offer Following the map, Sunset and her team walked across the beach, though they have encountered some difficulties such as Sunset and Wallflower have to go through the logs, Twilight and Saber were running for their lives from stray dog, and Pinkie has to get over the cranky crabs. They're now running across the scorching sand that almost burnt their feet. After managed to overcome the difficulties, Sunset and her team have arrived at the beach walkway that leads to the beach storehouse. Spotted something underneath the walkway, Ace whistled, getting their attentions. They looked at him. He made frantically noise while pointing at his direction. Looking at where he was pointing, they found a treasure chest under the walkway. "There it is!" Sunset exclaimed excitedly. As she and her friends approached to the treasure chest. Rubbing her hands, she asked, "I wonder if it's filled with loot!" As Sunset opened the treasure chest, she then found something inside. She picked it up. The item revealed to be another large bottle jar-like containing of another scroll. "Another treasure map?" Wallflower asked in surprise, "Isn't treasure chest supposed to be filled with loot or jewels?" Saber hummed curiously, "Or maybe, that's what the pirates want us to think. They must have hidden the real one somewhere around here." "So, why the leave another map behind?" Twilight asked curiously. "It's genius!" Pinkie cheered happily. Twilight and Wallflower were confused. She squealed, "Don't you get it? They left the map behind for someone so smart to understand the next clue!" "Right…" Twilight commented uneasily. "No. Pinkie's right," Sunset said excitedly. She read the map out loud, "'Follow the trail to the top of the MFBO and look for the X at the end of the...'" She gasped in realization, "It's a code!" "Wow. Must be smart pirate!" Pinkie exclaimed happily. "If only we had a..." Sunset said in concern while checking on the chest. She gasped as she took a next item out, "decoder ring!" "Well, that's convenient." Twilight commented. "Too convenient," Wallflower said in concern, "Why would a pirate left the decoder ring behind." Saber shrugged, "We'd never know till we find out where it leads us to." While using the decoder ring on the code, Sunset muttered, "'Follow the S-H... SHELLS to the... PIER and look for the X at the end of the R-A-I... RAINBOW!'" Wallflower asked, "Where can we-?!" Pinkie gasped while pointed ahead, "Look! There's a trail of shells!" Sunset and her friends looked up and found the trail of shell lead to the stairs. They all cheered and laughed happily. As they followed the trail to the top of stairs, they all arrived at the pier. It was crowded with people to relax and chattering. It is also filled with storehouses and shops. They all looked around of the surroundings. Twilight hummed curiously, "This is the pier. Now where's the-" Pinkie exclaimed in surprise, "Rainbow!" Everyone turned and looked at where Pinkie was pointing at – a snow cone motorcycle with rainbow colored snow cone on rooftop. The driver rode it out at once. They then found a sushi truck and has a floor mat with x-mark. "'X Marks the Sushi'?" Twilight asked in surprise. Wallflower hummed curiously, "Why would it leads to sushi truck?" "One way to find out." Sunset said calmly. She and her friends approached to cashier at the sushi truck's counter. The cashier worn a pirate hat, eye-patch on left side and has a parrot on left shoulder. She asked, "Excuse me, do you know anything about a treasure map?" Alerted by the question, Cashier or her name is Carrot Bun got up and acted like a pirate, "Aargh! Congr-argh-tulations! Ye mateys followed ye map to find the bounty of X Sushi!" "I've got a funny feeling about this," Wallflower said in uneasiness. Ignoring her friend's uneasy, Sunset asked, "What's our treasure?" Carrot Bun smiled and answered, "Twenty p-argh-cent off any hand roll, plus all-ye-can-eat wasabi! Aargh!" Everyone sans Pinkie, Saber and Ace was in shock and surprise. Twilight asked, "That's it?" "The treasure is a sushi truck! That's amazing!" Pinkie exclaimed happily. Just as instructed, Sunset and her group bought the sushi hand roll. They all happily eating their food. Twilight hummed happily while eating her sushi hand roll, "Mmm... Mmmm... I like it." "Like it? I thought you'd be disappointed…" Wallflower asked in surprise. She turned and looked at Saber and Ace, who were eating theirs. She hummed suspiciously, "You knew what the treasure map lead to, didn't you?" Twilight and Sunset turned and looked at Saber. He shrugged playfully, "I have no idea what you're implying." He poured out more of wasabi on his sushi. He chuckled a bit, "Plus, I finally got free wasabi for my sushi. Do you have any idea how much that costs? Dang it. Japan's cost cheaper than here." Wallflower groaned a bit. Sunset giggled while patted her shoulder, "It's okay, Wallflower. I'm glad he took us there for lunch. I haven't had eaten since this morning." "You're not disappointed about not getting the treasure?" Wallflower asked in surprised. Sunset sighed, "I admit it, Wallflower. I was expecting to get the treasure. But going out adventure with your friends is a true treasure and fun. Don't you think?" After giving some thoughts, Wallflower couldn't help but smiled happily, "Yeah. It was kinda fun. Thanks, Sunset." Feeling her tongue burning after eating the wasabi on her sushi hand roll, Pinkie yelled in pain and agony, "Ah... ah... tho thpithy!?" Unable to hold it, Pinkie yelled and breathed fire out, surprising her friends. She went off and headed straight to the water fountain, where she drank and gurgled the water. The people was shocked and surprised by her. Coming out from the water fountain, she sighed happily from it. After watching Pinkie got herself burnt from wasabi of sushi hand roll, Saber sighed, "And Pinkie said that she can beat me in the spiciest competition. As if." Everyone then giggled and laughed out happily and amusingly of Saber's jokes and Pinkie's trying to eat the sushi hand roll with wasabi. It was indeed fun for them.

However, one of them did not seem to enjoy it very much especially with the sun shine on him. Inside the cabin, couple of teenagers are dealing with one of their friends. Shadow Dragon, Aqua, Flare Tiger and Laxtinct were pushing and moving Terrorcreep out while Twilight, Applejack and Sunset were dragging him. Unfortunately, he was too stubborn and annoyed to resist their urges. Fluttershy looked worry and uneasy about it. "Uh. Maybe this is a bad idea," Fluttershy said in concern. "Damn it, Terrorcreep! Would you quit being stubborn and go out to the beach?!" Flare Tiger grumbled in annoyance. "Yeah! How can you just say 'I hate beach' for all the time when you never get the chance to try it. I mean the sun is great for everyone, you know!" Laxtinct agreed in frustration. He then grumbled, "Actually, I preferred you to stay out of my vacation. The last thing I want is someone screw it up badly." Terrorcreep groaned, "You just answer that, idiot." "Hey! What's that supposed to be mean?!" Laxtinct asked in annoyance. Shadow Dragon sighed, "He mean he can't handle the sun's light. He's a vampire." Laxtinct looked dumfounded and surprised as he answered, "Oh! I knew that!" "No. You did not." Terrorcreep grumbled. "So, why are we trying to drag him out again?" Sunset asked in confusion, "I mean he hates the sun, right? We shouldn't force him to do this." "About time…" Terrorcreep said in annoyance. Aqua sighed in annoyance, "Well, Fluttershy doesn't want to miss out her beach without her boyfriend. It wouldn't be fair for her." "It's okay. I'm okay with that," Fluttershy answered timidly. Twilight smiled proudly as she showed her lotion bottle, "Actually, I've been making a new sunscreen lotion, with the help of Shorty and Tailtech. This one will have some serious increased sun protection and prevents him to get burnt easily." "Cool!" Laxtinct commented in surprise. "Have you tested it, Twilight?" Fluttershy asked in concern. "Uh, nope," Twilight answered uneasily, making everyone facefaulted. She cleared her throat a bit, "But I'm confident that it will work." Everyone is still uneasy and worried. Applejack spoke up, "Come, everyone. Give her a chance. I mean her inventions have never fail, has it?" Everyone gave some thoughts and chattered about it. She smiled, "I'm sure her sunscreen lotion will work." Everyone turned and looked at Terrorcreep, who looked confused yet annoyed by their glance especially his girlfriend's pleading eyes. As much as he hated the sun, he couldn't say 'no' to his girlfriend. Terrorcreep sighed, "Fine. I'll try it. But if I get burnt up badly, I'm coming after your blood, Twilight. Permenantly!" "Terrorcreep!" Shadow Dragon, Aqua and Fluttershy scolded angrily and firmly. Twilight giggled uneasily and fearfully, "Sure! No problem! Got the message!" Terrorcreep sighed, "Now. Do you mind? I need to make some change." Everyone chattered and nodded in agreement. They all exited out of the cabin, giving him time to change his suit. For the moment later, the vampire emerged out from the cabin. He is now wearing blackish swimwear-like suit with grayish pattern on sleeves and trunk's side. Sunset whistled, "That was hunky." She got her left shoulder nudged by Fluttershy, who is annoyed by her comments. She giggled uneasily, "Sorry, Fluttershy." Terrorcreep sighed in annoyance, "I'm ready for hell." And so, eight friends headed off to the beach shore now. Terrorcreep is also wearing his blackish coat for its strong and effective protection on him from the sun's lights. They have now arrived to table set, which has an umbrella. The vampire quickly headed off and hid under the umbrella's shades, avoiding the sun. "Okay. We are here. Where's the sunscreen lotion?" Terrorcreep asked impatiently. "Dude. You really need to chill," Laxtinct commented. He then earned Terrorcreep's whack on his head. He yelped in pain, "Ow!" Checking on her bagpack, Twilight took the sunscreen lotion bottle out. The bottle has the picture of Bulk Bicep kissing his muscle with 'Protection Infinity' word on it as well. She passed it to Terrorcreep. "Here you go! The Infinity Sun Lotion," Twilight answered calmly and warmly. He smiled and continued, "The lotion contains very effective and specific ingredients such as the aloe vera, sunflower, honey, bird's nest and of course, pineapple." "Pineapple?" Flare Tiger asked in surprise, "Why would you need pineapple for?" Twilight shrugged, "From what I've read, the pineapple has good juice and vitamins. So, it should have strong protection for him." "And the picture? Why do you have Bulk Bicep's picture?" Shadow Dragon asked suspiciously. Twilight sighed as she patted Shadow Dragon's head, "Relax, Shadow Dragon. I'm not trying to make you jealous or anything. I need some good advertising picture. Bulk Bicep's kinda work well for the bottle." Shadow Dragon was still unconvinced yet annoyed, "Uh-huh…." Terrorcreep groaned, "I cannot believe that I'm going to do this…" "Try it, Terrorcreep," Fluttershy said warmly and calmly, "It'll be fine." Seeing Fluttershy's pleading eyes, Terrorcreep sighed in defeat, "Fine." Terrorcreep poured out the Infinity Sun Lotion's cream on his hands. He then placed it around his body and even face. Though he felt the lotion's wet on him, he felt nice and gentle on it. "This feels good," Terrorcreep commented in surprise, "So how long do I have to wait for it to dry?" "Won't be long. Three… Two… One…" Twilight answered calmly while looking at her watch carefully. She and her friends looked at Terrorcrep, whose skin is covered in hardened white colored like a stone. She smiled, "There you have it! You're now protected from sun's UV light." Laxtinct whistled, "He's white." "How do you feel, TC?" Aqua asked calmly. "Feel very cold and hard like a stone," Terrorcreep commented while stretching his body and hands. As soon as he emerged out from the umbrella's shades, he has stepped out to the sun's light. To his shock yet surprise, he doesn't feel burning up. He gasped, "I-I don't feel anything. I don't feel my skin burnt or turned into crisp." "Well, what do you know?! It worked?!" Flare Tiger and Laxtinct exclaimed in surprise. "Woohoo! Way to go, Twilight! Looks like your lotion works!" Applejack cheered. Fluttershy jumped and hugged Twilight warmly, "Thank you so much, Twilight for the help." "Guess you know what this means? Beach time!" Sunset cheered. Shadow Dragon nodded, "Let's do this!" Everyone cheered wildly and happily that they can finally go and have fun at the beach. And at the same time, both Fluttershy and Terrorcreep can finally have a good date on the beach. Sunset and her friends have spent almost whole afternoon at the beach. They're all done tons of activities such as playing volleyball, racing, scuba diving, swimming around the shore and even building the sand castle. They're especially Fluttershy and Terrorcreep were all enjoying it very much. After two to three hours of having fun, they're all now taking a break. The girl lied down on the blankets while the guys were stretching out a bit. "That was fun," Laxtinct commented in relief, "Good thing that Terrorcreep didn't go berserk and lose his cool." Flare Tiger nodded in agreement, "You could say that again, Lax." Fluttershy sighed, "Well, I have my fun with him. I'm happy that he finally comes out and enjoy the beach." "I still hate it," Terrorcreep complained a bit, gained everyone's glare at him. He chuckled a bit, "But spending time with Fluttershy is very rewarding. I'm glad you provided me the lotion." Twilight smiled, "It was nothing." Suddenly, she spotted some cracks on Terrorcreep's hands, Aqua asked, "Uh, Terrorcreep. There's something on your hand." "Not just there. I saw some cracks on your face too," Shadow Dragon said with a gasp. Everyone looked at Terrorcreep. They all gasped in shock and concern. They're looking at his skins, which are now having slowly formed and created more cracks across his body. Everyone can't help but feel uneasy and worried about it. "Is this the part where he screams in pain and agony about his skin get burnt up?" Laxtinct asked in concern. As on cued, his protective lotion skin cracked and turned into dust, exposing his black skin. Terrorcreep gulped in fear and worry as he looked up. His whole body felt some intense heat and slowly formed smoke as well. Suddenly, his body was lighted up in flames. And it is burning him alive. Terrorcreep screamed in pain and agony while panicking and running around to get rid of fire. This shock and alerted the rest of their friends as well. They then grabbed couple buckets of water as they tried to put out the fire but it only gets bigger and worse for him. "Put it out! Put it out!" Terrorcreep panicked in pain and fear. "Everyone, stand back!" Aqua commanded firmly. Everyone moved aside, while leaving Terrorcreep screamed and panicked in pain and agony. She sighed regretfully, "Sorry, TC. This is gonna hurt. A lot." And just Terrorcreep could do anything, Aqua screamed out loud as she charged and gave a punch on his face, shocking and alerting everyone to see it. And at the same time, her first summoned and formed the spreading ice-like around his body. The vampire is now trapped within the ice crystal. Unfortunately, he is in bad shape as his body was completely burnt and crisped. "What the?!" Everyone asked in shock. Aqua sighed, "Sorry. My Ice Punch is the only thing that can save him from getting burnt up." "So much for lotion," Shadow Dragon commented in concern. Twilight awed in guilt, "I am so sorry, Fluttershy. I guess it works for two to three hours only." Fluttershy sighed, "It's okay. You did your best." She turned and looked at Terrorcreep, "Now I'm worried that after this, he won't be coming back to beach again. He was so close to come here." "There must be something we can do about it…" Applejack said in concern. Everyone hummed thoughtfully while thinking a way to help Terrorcreep. Laxtinct gasped, "I have the idea. It's the best one!" Everyone turned and looked at Laxtinct. Shadow Dragon sighed, "Somehow it might be worst." Sunset and her friends hid Terrorcreep in his frozen prison under the umbrella for recovery and sheltered from the sun's UV light. They all stayed close together with him until evening. Aqua broke him free from his icy prison. He is completely healed, and no longer has burnt and crisped marks on him. They then told him their next idea of how to get him enjoy the beach. Around in the evening, eight friends were listening to the music while dancing happily and calmly. Terrorcreep and Fluttershy were dancing in tango style. They both smiled and laughed happily to have such fun. "Well, looks like it's working well, Lax," Aqua commented. Shadow Dragon nodded, "Yeah. Can't believe your plan works." "Hey! What's that supposed to be mean?!" Laxtinct asked angrily, feeling offended. Sunset waved to calm her friends down, "Hey. No need to get upset. As long as everyone enjoyed the beach, then everything's okay especially for the couples." Twilight smiled warmly, "I couldn't agree more." Applejack awed, "Don't they look very cute?" Everyone chattered in agreement while watching Terrorcreep and Fluttershy were having fun. After the long dancing, both Terrorcreep and Fluttershy gave lovely glance at each other before giving each other a passionate long kiss under the moon's light. It was the best beach day ever for the vampire… END... Review and Suggest...

Byrne: Laxtinct Jennifer Hale: Flare Tiger > S3E3: The Fastest Swimmer Alive > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- At the beach, Aqua was relaxing and sleeping peacefully while lying down on the bench chair. After long weeks of overseeing and coaching her students' progress in sports, she decided to get a good rest at the beach, without being bothered until… "I'm the best swimmer, Zappy!" "As if! I am the best swimmer, Crash! Everyone knows that! You should ask Blazefist!" "No way! Everyone knows that I'm good at swimming! After all, I was trained by Aqua! She's the best swimmer and surfer in the world! So, you do not wanna mess with me!" "So what?! My bro did much better than you think, punk! He's the best swimmer. After all, Crystal Prep Academy did win most of Friendship Games!" "The hell it is! I am the best swimmer!" "I am!" "I am!" Hearing the argument from two people, it's driving Aqua crazy and mad as she's unable to get some peace and quiet for her sleep. She groaned in frustration as she got up from the bench chair. She marched out, following the noise of argument. Aqua arrived to her destination, where she spotted Indigo Zap and Rainbow were arguing and shouting at each other. Fluttershy and Applejack were holding Rainbow while Sunny Flare and Lemon Zest held Indigo back as well. Blazefist mediated and calmed down the two of them. Indigo worn blackish surfer suit with cyan pattern and symbol of lightning on her middle of suit. Sour Sweet worn white and greenish colored bikini. Lemon Zest worn yellowish colored swimsuit. Blazefist was wearing blackish surfer suit with blazing flame pattern around him. "Would somebody tell me what the hell is going on?!" Aqua demanded angrily and furiously, scaring almost everyone else. Blazefist panicked and stuttered in fear, "O-Oh! Hey honey! Good to see you around!" "Yeah! What are you doing here?" Rainbow asked in surprise, "I thought you were sleeping." Indigo nodded in agreement, "Yeah. You did say that you want to take a break from coaching sports." "I was…" Aqua grumbled angrily and annoyingly, with angry vibe on her head, "Until two couple of brats were making noise! A very loud noise!" Sweatdrop in embarrassment, everyone yelped in concern, "Sorry about that." Aqua sighed, "Well, since I'm up and here, wanna explain what is this about?" Rainbow and Indigo scoffed in annoyance while looking away. Blazefist, Applejack, Fluttershy, Sour Sweet and Lemon Zest sighed in annoyance about it. This surprised and confused Aqua. "Well, we were talking about who's the best swimmer," Applejack commented dryly. Fluttershy nodded, "But Rainbow and Indigo gotten into argument about you and Mr. Blazefist for being the best swimmer." "Yeah. It was wild and crazy, man if we didn't stop and hold our friends off," Lemon Zest added, "Wow. Guess everyone wasn't kidding about these two being trained by the best." "Yeah. I'm astounded," Sour Sweet answered sweetly before gave sour looks. She grumbled, "Not. As if…" "All this about who's the best swimmer?" Aqua asked in disbelief, "This must be a joke." Blazefist sighed, "Tell me about it. They haven't reach the conclusion at all…" "Yeah, no kidding!" Rainbow agreed. She turned and glared at Indigo, "I'm telling you again that my coach is the best swimmer!" "Not a chance, Crash! My bro is!" Indigo snapped angrily, "Why don't you just admit that mine is the best?!" Rainbow groaned, "As if!" Rainbow and Indigo were about to start the fight but they got held back by their coaches. Everyone sighed in annoyance about their crazy fight. "Okay, enough with this," Aqua said firmly and seriously, "In fact, I don't give a damn about who's best swimmer. I just enjoy swimming. It's kinda my hobby. That's all." Blazefist nodded in agreement while crossed his arms, "I'm with her. In fact, Indigo, I trained you to be a swimmer, so that you can save yourself and others from getting drowned. And my training is not for competition, got that?" Rainbow and Indigo groaned a bit of disappointment, "Got it…" Seeing two girls disappointed of now showing who is the best swimmer, Aqua sighed in annoyance while rolled up her eyes, "You know what? Why don't you two race together?" Everyone was confused and surprised. Blazefist hummed, "You're not suggesting them to have a swimming competition around this beach?" "Why not?" Aqua asked playfully, "They wanna see who's the best swimmer. After all, we did train them." "I don't know. This might not be a good idea especially in the beach. We might as well have a competition in the pool than here." "Hey, come on, honey. It's just a race. It wouldn't hurt them." "And also, shutting up these two about this," Applejack added, making the rest agreed. Lemon Zest sighed while setting up her headset, "Yeah. Somebody would like to have some peace and quiet in the beach…" Blazefist sighed, "Fine. I supposed it won't hurt to have a race." Everyone cheered wildly and happily. He groaned, "I am so gonna regret this…" Blazefist, Aqua and the rest of young girls were gathered at the shore. Both Rainbow and Indigo were stretching and warming up, preparing to start the swimming competition. Either of them can't wait to start and prove one of their coaches is the best swimmer for training them. "Okay, here's how it goes. We start swimming from this shore to that large rock. Go around it and come back here." Aqua explained while pointed at the large rock, which was about 20meters ahead. She smirked, "First one to score 5 times wins the race. Does that sound challenging to prove which one of us the best swimmer?" "Cool…" Rainbow and Indigo remarked in amazement. Blazefist hummed in concern, "I don't know about this. This sounds too much." "They could get hurt," Fluttershy said in concern. Lemon Zest looked at the large rock, "Not to mention, that rock looked very sharp and bigger too." "You worry too much. I can handle it," Rainbow commented determinedly. Indigo nodded, "I've done much more dangerous than this. This is so nothing." "Cocky, aren't they?" Applejack remarked in concern. Sour Sweet scoffed while crossed her arms, "You think?" "Don't worry, Blazefist. I've got this," Indigo said confidently and proudly to concerned Blazefist, "No way I can be beaten that easily." Blazefist hummed in uneasy tone, "I know. But that doesn't make me better." Seeing Indigo upset, he sighed as he patted her head gently, "Just be careful, okay? Indigo smirked confidently, "You got it, coach!" Rainbow gave thumbs up to Aqua, "I've got this, Aqua." Aqua smiled, "I'm sure you do. Show them what a tiger made of." Both Rainbow and Indigo positioned themselves on the beach shore. The rest of their friends stayed behind them. "On your mark… Get set… Go!" Sour Sweet shouted out loud. Rainbow and Indigo rushed off straight to the sea. 3 – 5 meters ahead, both of them dived and began swimming very fast and swift yet wild. They're both heading straight to the large rock as their coaches have instructed. The rest of their friends cheered and applauded out loud for their friends to win it. Due to them being trained and coached by both Blazefist and Aqua, both Rainbow and Indigo have proven themselves to be fast and swift enough to swim towards the large rock. They make a big roundabout of before making their way back to the shore. They did the same routine for 3 times. Their own friends cheering and supporting them to win. "Gotta admit it. We really did well for training them the best," Blazefist commented amusingly. Aqua scoffed a bit, "Of course. After all, they're our students." "Now the question is how will be the victor?" "I certainly don't think it's you for sure." "Hey!" Blazefist shouted playfully, feeling offended, "Is that supposed to be challenging?" Aqua smirked teasingly, "Maybe, Mr. Blaze." Both Rainbow and Indigo are on the final round now. They're giving out the best they have now. They have just swum around the large rock. They're now making their way back to the shore. However, they have suddenly becoming tired and exhausted yet continued swimming due to them have used up their energy to swim for almost 5 rounds from shore to the large rock. While continued swimming; Rainbow, grown tired and exhausted, accidently slap and drag Indigo's leg down. This has caused both of them to lose their balance and unable to swim properly as if they're about to get drown. The rest of their friends gasped in shock and concern of what they just saw. "Oh no!" Fluttershy exclaimed in concern. "We've gotta help them now!" Lemon Zest exclaimed frantically. "Thank you for being obvious!" Sour Sweet shouted in fear. "Come on! Let's go now!" Applejack exclaimed firmly. And just before four of them could do anything, both Blazefist and Aqua rushed and dived into the ocean. They both swam straight towards drowning Rainbow and Indigo. Both of their students unable to get themselves and submerged into depth. They both dived down at once. They gone straight towards both Rainbow and Indigo as both of them continued submerging down. And just in time, both coaches managed to grab and caught up on their students. They swam back to the surface. While holding tight on Rainbow and Indigo, both Blazefist and Aqua swam all the way back to the shore in time. Blazefist and Aqua both performed some CPR on their students for almost five times. The rest of their friends watched helplessly and hopelessly. Both Rainbow and Indigo coughed out, waking up at once. They breathed and panted heavily and frantically. They were patted and comforted by their friends. Rainbow groaned, "Man, what happen?" "You both almost drowned," Blazefist explained, "Luckily, we saved you guys in time." "Now, I remember! This is your fault, Crash!" Indigo snapped at Rainbow. She continued, "if you hadn't drag me down, we wouldn't be drowned!" "Hey! That wasn't my fault for getting tired!" Rainbow snapped back, "Maybe if you had noticed, we wouldn't be in this mess!" Indigo snarled angrily, "Why you!" "Enough!" Aqua snapped firmly, "It doesn't matter now. As long you're both alive and alright, then everything's alright. Got it?!" Blazefist nodded, "Yeah. But we do learn that swimming ocean too far might not be good idea." Rainbow and Indigo sighed in annoyance, "Fine…" "Well, at least, we know who's the fastest swimmer in the world," Lemon Zest commented playfully. Fluttershy nodded, "I agreed." "Who is it?!" Indigo and Rainbow asked hopefully. "Both of them, duh," Sour Sweet answered with a scoff. "Yup. Both Aqua and Blazefist are the best swimmer," Applejack commented, "They really coached you guys well." "I knew it! I was right!" Rainbow and Indigo exclaimed happily. They turned and glared at each other, "Hey?! What do you mean you're right?! I was right! You're not! My coach is the best swimmer!" Rainbow and Indigo have gotten into a fierce argument again about who's the best swimmer. This annoyed and frustrated everyone about this. "I thought A.J. and Dash have the worst rivalry to deal with," Blazefist commented dryly.

She planned to teach and coach them about how to surf through action and showing off, amazing everyone else. "Alright. And that's how you do it," Aqua said firmly and proudly while crossed her arms. She cleared her throat before giving stern glare, "A little reminder also. When you get wipeout in middle of your surfing, don't get back up. Just get back to the shore. Trust me on this, everyone. Do not try it. It'll get you killed. I guaranteed it." Everyone including Fluttershy quivered and shivered in fear by Aqua's instruction and warning about surfing. Aqua then shown her happy smile, "Okay, then. Enjoy the fun." Students cheered out wildly and happily. They're all rushed straight to the sea. Most of them swam towards the upcoming wave. They all began surfing on it. Aqua, Rainbow, Applejack, Saber, Tailtech, Indigo Zap, Sunny Flare and Sour Sweet were cleaning and waxing off the surfboards. They're preparing to surf. Fluttershy looked nervous and uneasy about it as she decided to drop out. "You sure you don't want to try it, Fluttershy?" Rainbow asked excitedly. She then showed her own cyan colored surfboard that has cutie mark on it, "You can use my board." Applejack smirked confidently while holding her apple and wave themed surfboard, "You'll be hangin' ten in no time. Twenty, even." "Or maybe you should try mine," Indigo said cockily while showing her blazing phoenix themed surfboard, "Mine's bring the best luck of surviving the worst." Rainbow scoffed, "Mine!" "Mine!" "Mine!" "Mine, Crash!" "Mine, Zippy!" Rainbow and Indigo shouted and argued with each other angrily and wildly, making everyone annoyed and irritated about it. They're at the crazy mad rivalry. Despite everyone wanted to help her out with surfing, Fluttershy looked very nervous and worried about surfing. "Fluttershy, you seemed to be nervous," Sunny Flare said curiously while looking at Fluttershy. She continued, "I think better question is why are you here?" "Uh… Supportive?" Fluttershy answered nervously. "Really?" Sour Sweet asked sweetly. And just before Fluttershy could answer, she snapped sourly while holding tight on her shoulders to shake her off, "Don't lie to me! Tell me the truth before I blow my gasket!" "Everyone, cool off!" Aqua said firmly while moving Sour Sweet aside. She sighed, "If Fluttershy doesn't want to surf, just leave her be. After all, she did say supportive to my lesson. So, let her be. After all, no one's forcing everyone to do this if they got no guts for this." "Thank you, Mrs. Blaze," Fluttershy said in relief. She smiled warmly, "I appreciate you all trying to help me, but I'll leave that to the experts like all-!" "Hey, who's that?" Sour Sweet asked curiously while pointed out. Everyone turned and looked on left side. They're all found Zephyr Breeze, wearing his orange swimming trunk, necklace and shades, stood before them. He was holding brown colored surfboard with symbol of wave. "Who's ready for a lesson in the fine art of the crush?" Zephyr asked cockily. Lifting up his shades, he winked at everyone, "Afternoon, ladies." "Oh no…" Almost everyone said in disbelief. "Who the hell are you, wananbe?" Sour Sweet asked in annoyance. Fluttershy sheepishly answered with a blush, "My brother – Zephyr Breeze." "No offense, Zephyr," Saber chuckled a bit uneasily, "Since when do you surf?" Zephyr chuckled, "Since always. I mean, look at this deck." He then looked at his own surfboard, "Gladys. She's my pride and joy. She and I have been together for what seems like a lifetime." Almost everyone wasn't convinced by Zephyr's declaration about him surfing with Gladys for 'lifetime'. "Somehow, I doubt it," Tailtech commented dryly. "Definitely a lie." Saber agreed while crossed his arms. He continued, "Look, Zephyr, let's face a painfully reality. There is no way that you-!" Feared of being exposed, Zephyr placed his finger to silence Saber, "Waxed her this morning?" He then shown his shiny surfboard to friends, "Yes, it's true. See that shine? She's ready to seize the waves, so to speak." Sour Sweet hummed while looking at his surfboard, "Hate to admit. It does look very sparkling and shinning. I think I'm in love." Looking at Sour Sweet's looks and body especially wearing bikini, Zephyr whistled while smiled charmingly at her, "Hello, beautiful. Glad you like it, babe. The name's Zephyr Breeze. What's yours?" "Sour Sweet, handsome. Did I ever tell you how I like your bicep? It looks very macho on you. It touched my beautiful and sexy body. Can you touch me, love?" Sour Sweet asked charmingly yet seductively while wrapping her arms around nervous and stoked Zephyr. It shocked everyone else. As nervous Zephyr held Sour Sweet close to him, he was about to kiss her lips. He yelped in pain, feeling something hit his bottom. He fell on the ground hard. Sour Sweet gave the sour looks, "Touch me again, I'll freaking kick your ass for big time! Got it?!" "Got it…" Zephyr said weakly and painfully. He whistled out loud, "What a girl. Really like her." Rainbow groaned in disgust, "Yuck. That is so gross. Does she do that to anyone else before?" "Not that I know of. But yeah. Gross." Sunny Flare commented in disgust. "Okay. Enough with this!" Aqua said firmly and proudly as she grabbed her blue tiger themed on Hawaii, "Let's hit the water then!" Alerted by Aqua's command, Zephyr asked in shock and fear, "What's that now?" Rainbow smirked as she grabbed her own surfboard, "Come on, Zephyr! Show us what you and 'Gladys' can do!" Tailtech smirked, "Unless you're too chicken to do it…" "Tailtech!" Fluttershy scolded Tailtech. "Well, if he has the guts…" Sour Sweet asked sourly before giving sweet talk while gently patting his face, "I'm sure I'd be impressed and give you the true love kiss." Applejack cheered, "Let's do this!" Almost everyone cheered wildly and happily while Zephyr is nervous and scared. Fluttershy tried to stop her brother but all of them rushed straight to the ocean. They're jump up and laid down on their own surfboards. They swam swiftly and quickly towards the upcoming wave. Passing by the large rock, Aqua and the rest of her group came across to the wave, which slowly formed to large one. "Wow…" Saber commented in surprise, "Looks like a big one!" Aqua smirked, "There she is. The Big Cowabunga! Love this the most. Just like back home. Everyone, ready for it?" "Whew! How would you tackle it?" Applejack asked Zephyr. Zephyr gulped in fear, "Me? Uh, well, to be honest, I think it's best to start smaller. You girls probably aren't rea—" "Here it comes!" Rainbow cheered wildly while pointed at the big wave. Indigo smirked, "Oh yeah! This is gonna be awesome!" "Surf's up, everyone!" Aqua cried wildly and happily. Everyone gave the wild and crazy cheers. They all went to the big wave. They began surfing across it while performing crazy and wild moves. Everyone was excited and happy as they enjoyed surfing a lot. Zephyr yelped and panicked in fear as he struggled with it. "Oh man! This is amazing!" Sunny Flare cheered. "Tell me about it!" Sour Sweet exclaimed happily, "I'm so glad we're in!" "Too bad that I'm gonna win this!" Rainbow exclaimed happily. Indigo scoffed while hopping across the wave, "As if! I'm gonna win, Rainbow Crash! This girl is gonna kick your ass!" Rainbow smirked, "Not a chance!" "This is so crazy!" Tailtech exclaimed in shock and surprise while balancing on his surfboard, "The waves today are just killer!" "Tell me about it." Aqua agreed, "Just remember, keep balancing. And remember, if you get wiped out, then get back to the shore. Don't stand around or else worse happens." "Yes, ma'am!" Everyone cheered. Saber smirked, "Alright! Keep surfing! Don't stop now or you get wiped out!" Zephyr Breeze screamed in fear, "That's what I'm afraid ooooof! Aah!" Accidentally slipped off the surfboard, Zephyr fell into the wave while screamed in fear and agony. Everyone was alerted by the cry. They were in shock and concern about him now. And just before anyone could do anything, Aqua jumped off her surfing board while diving into the ocean. She swam straight towards the drowning Zephyr. She quickly grabbed and held him on her back. By using her Elemental Geode of Water, she blasted her Water Torpedo Shard down, pushing her straight to the surface. Both of them gasped for air while coughed out loud. Luckily; Saber, Applejack, Rainbow, Indigo and Sour Sweet arrived and helped them both out. They placed them both on the surfing board. They're swam all the way back to the shore. Arriving to the shore, Aqua and the rest of her group were resting and recovering from their surfing. Both the coach and Zephyr were covered by blanket. They all listened and learned why he got wiped out during the Big Cowabunga Wave. They're now furiously and annoyed by his truth. Aqua slapped at Zephyr's face very hard, causing him yelled in pain. He cried, "What the heck?!" "For your stupidity and arrogance!" Aqua snapped angrily, "Why the hell didn't you tell anyone!" Saber nodded while crossed his arms, "She's right. Surfing in that kind of big wave like that is very dangerous. And not to mention, no basic training on how to surf on the board! And not to mention, no basic training on how to surf on the board! You could've got hurt!" Zephyr whined in pain, "I did! My pride, that is. Wounded." Zephyr gave his innocent smile. Almost everyone groaned in annoyance to hear Zephyr's whining and stupidity. This caused Aqua smack on his head very hard. "Until you learn the basic, you're not coming back to the group for surfing!" Aqua snapped firmly and angrily. She then grabbed Gladys, "I'll keep this one with me, making sure you really learn the basic." Zephyr groaned, "B-But who's gonna teach me? I don't even know where to start." "Is he always like this?" Tailtech asked in disbelief. Saber sighed, "I'm surprised that Terrorcreep didn't try to suck his blood out." "He did try. A lot." Fluttershy said dryly. She sighed before giving a sly smirk, "But I tamed him immediately, with my charms and little something called 'discipline for reward'." Applejack giggled a bit, "Somehow I figured that your beauty did the work. Fluttershy winked playfully, "It did." Aqua turned and looked at the rest of her students. Most of them immediately back away from her. Rainbow, Indigo and Sour Sweet were the only ones did not move. Three of them yelped in concern and fear, realizing that they could be next as Aqua looked carefully on them. Rainbow groaned, "Looks like I'm gonna be his damn instructor." Indigo scoffed, "As if. I mean you do hate him." "I hate his attitude. Never hate him," Rainbow said firmly and annoyingly, "Plus, I've got something that he doesn't wanna mess with." Indigo smirked, "Right. Like you can be good instructor." "Sour Sweet, you'll be his instructor," Aqua said seriously and firmly, shocking the world including Sour Sweet. Zephyr cheered happily. Sour Sweet panicked in fear. She continued, "Before you tried to say 'No, I don't wanna, coach', I have the reason. You've got sweets and sour attitude. And you have no problem of putting him in place until he learns his place." "Meaning what?" Sunny Flare asked curiously. Tailtech hummed curiously, "You don't supposed-!" "Yup. She can kick his ass anytime she wanted. But only if her ever done anything inappropriate or slacking off from his training," Aqua said sternly and firmly. This makes Zephyr nervous while Sour Sweet pleased. She then passed the Gladys to her, "And of course, you can keep this. Sour Sweet cheered as she grabbed and held surfing board, "Yes!" Zephyr whined a bit, "No way…" "Unless you work hard, you won't get it back," Aqua said seriously and sternly, "I expected the results by next three months. Got it?" Sour Sweet and Zephyr sighed, "Yes, ma'am." Rainbow scoffed, "This is gonna be fun." "I wonder how he'll survive her," Applejack asked teasingly. "We'll never know," Indigo joked teasingly. Though upset about him being kicked off from the surfing board, Zephyr smiled happily as she held and hugged Sour Sweet close to him. He gave a kiss on her forehead, "So, instructor, when do we start?" Sour Sweet swung and slammed her fist right on his gut. Zephyr yelped in pain before dropped to the ground. Everyone yelped in concern and winced to see it. "Starting with you stopped from flattering me to have Hula Dance, punk. A little reminder. I'm only doing this for Gladys." Sour Sweet said sourly. She turned and looked at the surfing board. Patting on it, she whispered softly, "He doesn't deserve you." END... Review and Suggest...

They were using metal detector, looking for some specific machinery and materials. Shorty worn crimson swimming shorts and white singlet. Tailtech worn yellow and blue colored swimming trunks. Asami worn blackish swimsuit with red pattern. Still searching around the shore, Shorty called out, "Find anything?" Tailtech picked some spare parts from his metal detector, "Nothing much. Just some parts only. Nothing useful." "Don't worry, Tailtech, I'm sure we'll come across it," Asami said calmly, "All we need is just be patient and slowly look around the shore. Who knows it might be-!" "Complete disaster!" Rarity's voice shouted in fear, shocking and scaring Shorty and his team off. "Are you okay, Rarity?" Asami asked in concern. Rarity bawled out loud yet dramatic over her situation, "My earring's gone! A one-of-a-kind, irreplaceable work of art! I should know. I made it. I was reapplying my SPF when I realized my ear was... naked! I don't know what to do! It meant so much to me! And... and..." Annoyed by his girlfriend's dramatic, Shorty sighed, "If you want our help, just ask." "Oh, would you mind?" Rarity asked hopefully. Asami nodded, "Yup. After all, you're my brother's girlfriend. Plus, we're in process of finding and gathering some metals and machinery." Rarity smiled warmly, "Thank you, darlings." Tailtech groaned, "You seriously want us to help her to find a silly earring?" "Like it or not, she won't stop her dramatic until we find it," Shorty said in annoyance, "Believe me. I can't stand with that." "Point taken," Tailtech agreed in annoyance yet understanding. Shorty, Rarity, Asami and Tailtech used their metal detector, scanning and scouring across the shore. They all listened carefully to their headphones, making sure they're on right spot. "Any luck?" Shorty asked. "Not so f-" Tailtech was interrupted when he heard his metal detector made some beeping noise. He exclaimed in surprise, "Wait! I got something!" Rarity gasped hopefully, "Could it be?!" Tailtech started digging the hole out of the sand. He then picked something out. Instead of the earring, it was an ice skate, which annoyed him. "You're kidding me…" Tailtech asked in disbelief. To her surprise, Asami's metal detector made loud beeping noise. She shouted, "Hold your horses, everyone! I'm getting something!" Everyone turned their attention to her attention. She quickly dug the sand out again. She picked the item, which turned out to be silver horseshoe. She groaned, "False Alarm." "This is gonna be difficult than I thought…" Shorty grumbled a bit. Rarity cleared her throat as she said nervously and uneasily, "Well, not to worry. We've got plenty of time." "Then, we'd better start looking," Tailtech commented. Shorty and his group have spent whole afternoon, searching and finding the missing earring across the beach. Though they have detected some metals, none of them is earring but various kind of junk and old machineries. "I can't believe this!" Rarity exclaimed in disbelief as she threw her headphone at couple of junks. She groaned, "We've combed the entire beach and found nothing! Nothing! I'm sorry I've wasted your entire day." "On contrary, Rarity, we did detect and locate lots and lots of old machines and materials we need for our projects," Asami commented warmly and calmly. She sighed, "After all, it was our intention." "Then again, it's also waste of time to help find hers," Tailtech grumbled. Shorty scoffed while nudged Tailtech's elbow, "Cool it, Tailtech. At least, we did what we were looking for. "But the sun's going down." Rarity said in disappointment. She sighed, "I guess it's a lost cause." Hated to see Rarity despaired over her stuffs, Asami spoke up, "Hold that thought!" Asami approached to the mountain pile of junks and machineries, began digging and searching through them for a specific item. After minutes of searching, she come across the golden earring. She then approached to Rarity. "Rarity, here it is," Asami said calmly, passing the golden earring to Rarity. She continued, "It's not exactly what you wanted, but it's still earring." "I appreciate that, Asami. But thank you, three of you. I had a wonderful day just the same. Uh, I'll just take one last sweep." Rarity commented as she picked the headphone. As she placed it around her head, suddenly, a familiar earring dropped out from her hair. It dropped on the floor. Everyone looked at the silver earring with sapphire gem and pinkish ribbon. They all turned and looked at Rarity. "Guh. Ooh! Found it! Heh-heh." Rarity answered nervously and fearfully. "Are you kidding me?! It was on your head for whole time?!" Tailtech asked in annoyance as his face burnt in red. Asami groaned, "Rarity…" "What?!" Rarity asked in annoyance yet innocently, "How am I supposed to know it was on my head for whole time?!" "That is true. Your hair is very thick," Shorty said calmly yet thoughtfully. He turned and looked at the ocean before looking at his assistants. Both Asami and Tailtech have sly looks. They turned and looked at worried Rarity. He continued, "I think you seriously need some bath now." "Now, see here! I don't think it's-!" Rarity was interrupted as she was being carried by Shorty, Asami and Tailtech. They headed off towards the shore. She cried out and demanded 'put her down'. As soon as they reached their destination; Shorty, Asami and Tailtech thrown Rarity off into shore's water. Rarity yelped in shock, coming out from the shore. She spilled some of it out. "How do you feel now, Rarity? Feeling better?" Tailtech asked playfully. Asami nodded, "Hopefully, you can see your earrings on your ear now." Rarity groaned in annoyance, "Peachy…" "Next time, check before making dramatic for no reason," Shorty scolded firmly yet teasingly. "Understood…" Rarity grumbled dryly.

Both Pinkie and Flare Tiger dressed as crab mascots. Rarity and Icy were dressing up the crabs. Rainbow was handling the customer service. Laxtinct was working on supplies for themselves, customers and crabs. Fluttershy was hosting the event. “Thanks for helping with the Crab Adopt-a-Thon, everyone.” Fluttershy thanked her friends. “Oh, not a problem. My whole life has been leading up to this moment!” Rarity said happily as she was putting some dresses on the female crab, “Voila! Crustacean couture!” “Rarity, that is one beautiful crab,” Flare Tiger commented happily. “Ooh-la-la! Let me help!” Pinkie said happily as she picked up the tiara. She struggled of putting it on the crab, which was very picky and fighting back at her. She groaned as she decided to stop, “Actually, how about I help us away from the crabs?” Icy giggled a bit as she patted two crabs gently, “I told you that crabs are very crabby and picky when it comes to clothes. You need to be patient with them.” Pinkie grumbled, “Easy to say than done.” “Aw man!” Laxtinct exclaimed in concern as he was looking at the ice box. He groaned in frustration, “We just ran out of ice-cream! There’s nothing left in it! Looks like we gonna need more now.” Pinkie gasped in realization, “I could get us a snack! There's still an hour until the shaved ice stand closes!” Everyone chatted happily to hear about Pinkie volunteered to get some dessert for them. She smiled happily, “Cool! I promise I'll be back before it starts!” “I should go with you!” Icy called out “No need. I’ve got this,” Pinkie said happily. “I’d better go with you, Pinkie. Two heads are better than one.” Laxtinct said happily. Pinkie and Laxtinct headed off to the shaved ice stand, where they bought eight of colourful dessert for themselves and their friends. Laxtinct paid for the dessert. They all looked at them. “Oh! Sparkly.” Pinkie commented happily. Just as Pinkie and Laxtinct were about to leave, they then found mother and son were eating their colourful shaved ice. Unfortunately, the boy tried to lick it, but accidentally his has pushed it off to the floor. This make him almost want to cried. Luckily, Pinkie passed one of hers to him to enjoy. The boy thanked her happily. “Well, at least, we’ve got seven of them. After all, there’re seven of us, right?” Pinkie asked happily. “Yup,” Laxtinct agreed. And just as Laxtinct and Pinkie were about to leave, one of the seagulls dived and grabbed the ice shaved cone. This shocked and alerted them to cover and protect them while shooing and scaring them off. Unfortunately, two or four more have grabbed two more shaved ice. “Stupid seagulls!” Laxtinct exclaimed angrily, “Always hate those birds!” “Well, we still got four more. We can share, right?” Pinkie asked optimistically. Laxtinct shrugged, “Hope so.” Just as Laxtinct and Pinkie climbed down the stairs to the sand, their feet were burning up by scorching desert. They yelled and yowled in pain while hopping panicking and fearfully. They then jumped back on the stairs. “Stupid sand! Always hate it to be heat up!” Pinkie snapped angrily, “Should have brought the sandals with us.” “Now what?” Laxtinct asked in concern. He then looked around of his surroundings, trying to find a way to get back to others. He groaned, “There must be a way out.” Spotting the bouncy ball rolling towards her, Pinkie gasped, “Follow me!” Pinkie hopped on the bouncing ball. Laxtinct followed and held on her shoulders from behind. They both began rolled the ball out at once. They arrived at the formation of umbrella stands. They then jumped and bounced on them, one-by-one. Almost reached to the shore, they quickly jumped and grabbed on the floating kites. They’re now heading back to the rest of their friends. Reaching to their destination, the kites’ knotted lines got snapped, throwing them off the balance. Laxtinct and Pinkie screamed in fear as they were holding tight on them. They both slammed on the ground hard. The rest of their friends yelped and cringed to see it. Though two of ice shaved cones got covered in sand, only one is left. “Nailed it…” Laxtinct said painfully as he and Pinkie slowly get up. “You made it!” Rainbow exclaimed happily. Pinkie grunted, “Barely! You'll never believe what I had to do to get these back un-melty.” “Right on time. I hate to say it, but these crabs are getting awfully...” Flare Tiger said in concern while looking at the agonized and cranky dressed-up crabs. She hissed, “...crabby!” Inspecting some crab’s behavior, Fluttershy hummed in concern, “Aw. They're hot, poor things. If only we had a way to cool them off.” “No kidding,” Rarity commented, “There must be something we can do.” Pinkie and Laxtinct looked at the ice shaved cones before looking at each other while giving some thoughts. It’s the last one. Despite they wanted to help their friends, they couldn’t stand and watch the crabs get suffered. They both sighed in defeat. As Pinkie approached to the crab’s sand castle, she asked while showing the last ice shaved cone, “Do you... want this?” The crabs happily and desperately nodded. Pinkie placed the ice shaved cone in the middle of them. They approached towards it. They all made scuttling and snipping noise as they’re eating it. Laxtinct sighed, “So much for getting the dessert for everyone.” Pinkie nodded shamefully, “I'm sorry, everyone. We wanted to have enough to share.” Rainbow smirked, “No worries, Pinkie. Icy and I got this.” Held Icy on her back, Rainbow dashed out to the ice shaved stand to get more. In a few seconds, they returned. They brought the fresh new ice shaved cones. And at the same time, Icy used her Ice Breeze to keep them cool. Pinkie and Laxtinct opened their jaws in disbelief while accidentally dropped the box down. Though a bit of embarrassed, they laughed out amusingly. They were joined by the rest of their friends. They all then enjoyed eating their dessert now.

As Pinkie was holding her phone; she and her friends - Sunset, Twilight, Fluttershy, Wheelie and Brains got themselves together while looking and trying to fit inside the phone’s screen for selfie. Four girls were holding on each other while Sunset held Wheelie and Brains, who both perverted rubbing her chest. This annoyed her a bit but she decided to let it slide. Pinkie smiled, “Say, ‘cheese sandwich!’” As instructed, the girls and two Minicons smiled happily and warmly. Pinkie pushed the button, ignited the phone to snap on their photo. They all then looked at the screen. They awed happily at it. Pinkie smiled, “Okay, once more with Gruyère!” Noticed something amiss on Pinkie’s phone screen, Twilight spoke while pointed at it, “Wait. What's that splotchy thing in the background?” Everyone looked at the phone’s picture. They found a strange shadowy serpentine-like figure in ocean background. “What the hell?!” Wheelie asked in surprise. Sunset and her friends turned and looked at exact location, where they spotted shadowy figure behind the large horse-like rock. But they found nothing at all. This shocked yet intrigued them about it. “It's a sea monster. We just caught it on camera!” Sunset exclaimed happily. “You’re kidding, right?” Brains asked in disbelief. “Brain’s right,” Twilight said calmly and firmly, “I'm sure there's a logical explanation.” “A sea monster?! I gotta see it to believe it!” Pinkie said excitedly. She squealed out happily while hugging Sunset, “But I already believe it!” Both Sunset and Pinkie made squee and smile happily, making the rest of their friends uneasy and embarrassed about them. They then spotted Shadow Dragon and Flash were looking around of the beach. They then called for the boys. They responded back to them. They meet with the girls. “So, what’s going on?” Flash asked curiously. Pinkie showed her phone to him. He looked at it closely, “Uh… What am I looking at it?” “It’s a sea monster! We caught it in our phone!” Sunset exclaimed happily. Both Shadow Dragon and Flash were stoked by the event. They both looked at each other as they’re not sure if they wanted to believe it or not. “By the way, what are you guys doing?” Twilight asked. Shadow Dragon sighed while crossed his armed in annoyance, “Looking for that stupid snake of mine. He slithered somewhere on the beach.” “Again?” Twilight asked in disbelief, “What is he up to now?” “No idea.” Shadow Dragon admitted in annoyance. He then turned and looked at Fluttershy, “Hey, Fluttershy, think you can find Dragoking?” Using her geode’s power, Fluttershy held her ear out to listen carefully. She hummed in concern and uncertain, “I heard something. I’m not sure if it’s hime. But it’s muttering about ‘looking for food’ or ‘I’m hungry’.” Twilight, Flash, Wheelie and Brains looked uneasy and worried. Sunset and Pinkie looked excited about the news. They all asked in unison of excitement and fear, “There’s really a sea monster?!” “Somehow I doubt it,” Shadow Dragon grumbled a bit. “I’m not very sure,” Fluttershy admitted, “It’s hard to hear it clearly.” Wheelie groaned, “That doesn’t make it feel better.” “Something's out there, and I'm gonna find out what it is.” Sunset said excitedly and happily while looking at the ocean, “Who's with me?” “Okay! Now that’s making me feel worst!” Wheelie exclaimed in shock and fear. Pinkie cheered happily, “Ooh! Over here!” Fluttershy added while putting her snorkelling goggles on, “I'll go. Maybe I can hear it better underwater.” “I’ll follow Fluttershy. Don’t want her to wander off,” Flash volunteered. He approached to Sunset as he gave her a warm kiss on lips, “Just need some sweet kiss luck.” Sunset giggled a bit, “Good luck, handsome.” “You guys go ahead. I'll do some investigating of my own around the beach.” Twilight said calmly as she looked at lifeguard house like she has the idea of how. She turned and looked at Shadow Dragon, “What about you?” Shadow Dragon scoffed a bit, “I don’t give crap about sea monster. I’m still looking for that snake. Hopefully, he’s not thinking about eating people. If he does, I’m gonna give him some big smack.” “Yikes. Hate to be in his snake skin,” Sunset joked, “Let’s get going, everyone!” Everyone split up. Both Fluttershy and Flash headed into the ocean, began their search for sea monster and Dragoking. Sunset and Pinkie went and get some snorkelling gears. Twilight headed off to lifeguard house. Shadow Dragon continued walking and searching for his snake. “She’s crazy!” Wheelie commented in disbelief, “Everyone’s crazy over sea monster!” Brain sighed, “Well, better than dealing with Seacon or Dread. I wouldn’t mind following Sunset for our safety and seeing her good body with bikini on.” Wheelie awed with blushed of pure red, “Ooh! Good idea, Brain. You’re the genius!” Both Wheelie and Brain headed off and went after Sunset at once for helping her out and secretly looking at her body as well. Twilight is now at the lifeguard house, using her binocular to thoroughly look and search around of her surroundings and even the shores as well. Unknown to her, Timber Spruce, now a lifeguard, sneak and move close to her side. “Whatcha lookin' for?” Timber asked charmingly. “Answers!” Twilight answered dryly and firmly, shocking and confusing Timber. She lowered down the binocular. She turned and looked at him. She smiled to reassure him, “Don't worry. I'll let you know when I have them.” Timber shrugged a bit, “Sure. If you need anything, you know who to call.” “And he’d better stay away from my girlfriend if he knows what’s good for him!” Shadow Dragon’s voice shouted angrily and annoyingly, scaring Timber a bit. Timber groaned in concern, “Geez. Is he always like this?” Twilight sighed, “He’s protective of me and making sure that I don’t get into trouble. Plus, he’s avoiding my big brother.” Timber quivered in fear, “I hate to think about crazy protective your brother is.” Sunset and Pinkie have prepared their snorkelling gears. Sunset has removed her towel, revealing her blackish bikini. This made Wheelie and Brain awed and drooled happily while looking at her beautiful body. This annoyed and irritated her to glare at them. This made them looked away at once. “Honestly…” Sunset grumbled in annoyance. She sighed as she put up her goggle, “Hurry! We have to move quickly so it doesn't get too far away!” “We’re ready!” Wheelie and Brain cheered happily. “I'm ready too!” Pinkie cheered happily. Just as Sunset and her Minicons were about to move out, she gasped in realization before screamed out, “I'm not ready! Where's my floatie?” Sunset groaned, “There's no time!” Wheelie and Brain screamed in fear while holding each other tightly, alerting Sunset and Pinkie. They turned to the Minicons, who were pointing at the ocean. They all found a shadowy figure slowly swimming towards the shore. Just as Shadow Dragon returned to the lifeguard house, Twilight was still using the binocular as she spotted something approaching towards the shore. “Oh, no! My friends!” Twilight exclaimed in concern. She quickly pushed the binocular to Timber. She ran off at once. Timber and Shadow Dragon went after her. She called out, “Sunset Shimmer! Pinkie Pie! Watch out!” As Twilight and the boys met up with Sunset, Pinkie and the Minicons; the amber teenage girl exclaimed happily, “We saw it! We saw the monster again!” “I know! I saw it, too!” Twilight exclaimed in concern. Sunset nodded excitedly, “See? I told you! It was real!” “Hate to point out the obvious! It’s coming for us!” Wheelie screamed in fear, “It’s gonna eat us!” Pinkie, Wheelie and Brains screamed in fear and panicking as they’re all held and hugged each other tightly. And at the same time, Timber screamed as he hid behind Twilight and Sunset’s back. Shadow Dragon summoned his Darkness Blade, preparing to fight. Suddenly, the shadowy figure slowly emerged out from the shore’s water. It revealed itself to be Fluttershy and Flash. They both were covered by seaweeds around them. Fluttershy was holding the floatie on her head while she and Flash were holding a familiar black snake coiling around them both. “I think we caught our ‘monster’.” Fluttershy said teasingly while bringing down the floatie. Flash nodded in agreement, “Plus, we found out what Dragoking was doing. He was looking for his snacks in the ocean. Apparently, he almost got drowned if not for Pinkie’s floatie.” “Yummy! Snack!” Dragoking hissed happily as he was eating and swallowing his fishes. “My floatie!” Pinkie exclaimed happily. She laughed a bit, “Foiled again.” Shadow Dragon scoffed, “Figures. Always about the food. That’s all he could think of.” Sunset was a bit disappointed as she shrugged. Both Wheelie and Brain sighed in relief before falling down on the ground. And at the same time, everyone turned and looked at Timber’s still hiding behind Sunset and Twilight. This prompted Shadow Dragon and Flash glare at him. “What did I say about staying away from my girlfriend,” Shadow Dragon asked angrily. Flash nodded, “Yeah. I mean, seriously! You’re way older than us. You couldn’t even man up and face a monster?” Shadow Dragon nodded, “Yeah. You’re lucky it’s Dragoking, not a sea monster.” “It’s also a good thing that he was there to protect the girls,” Flash commented, “Because if anything happens to Sunset, you hear it from me and the Bots.” Everyone looked at Timber. He looked a bit embarrassed and uneasy about him not standing up to ‘monster’. He quickly backed away while whistled embarrassingly and nervously. Twilight and Sunset sighed while shaking their heads about Timber’s being coward to face the monster. Fluttershy passed the floatie to Pinkie. She awed happily while holding her floatie, “Oh! I knew you would come back to me.” Shadow Dragon approached to Dragoking. The blackish anaconda has just finished his snack before made a loud burping noise. He sighed in annoyance while patted gently on his pet. “What am I gonna do with you, Dragoking?” Shadow Dragon muttered amusingly. Dragoking burped, “Snacky…” END… Review and Suggest… Main Casts: Tara Strong: Twilight Sparkle Rebecca Shoichet: Sunset Shimmer Andrea Libman: Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy Tom Kenny: Wheelie Reno Wilson: Brain Minor Casts: Matt Lanter: Shadow Dragon Vincent Tong: Flash Sentry Brian Doe: Timber Spruce Dee Bradley Baker: Dragoking > S3E8: Build the Sand Castle! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the early afternoon, the beach was fully crowded by the people and children. Some of them were lined up to at registering counter. Most of them were sitting on the couple of benches for sitting down. A few registered participants including five Cutie Mark Crusaders were preparing and setting up their sand castle tools for the event. Most of them chattered and muttered happily about the 'Sand Castle Contest' as they all couldn't wait to start it. Cutie Mark Crusaders have their own swimsuits – Apple Bloom worn greenish swimsuit with yellow pattern on middle and has apple icons around it, Sweetie Belle's bikini is a lighter purplish-pink colored, Scootaloo's a blackish diver suit with magenta streaks on shoulders and legs, Nyx worn a dark magenta swimsuit with blue-white stripes within, and Jade's green and blue colored swimsuit. Apple Bloom has brought sand castle tools such as spades, pails, scooping spoons, funnel, spackle knife, melon baller, brush and so on. Sweetie Belle and Nyx were drawing and designing out the sand castle on the paper. Scootaloo and Jade sighed calmly before they stretched themselves out for the moment. Humane Seven, Shadow Dragon and his family, Lance, Juniper, Saber, Shorty, Aqua, Indigo and even Spike were among the spectators, watching and cheering out for the young ones. "Sand Castle Contest is here!" Scootaloo cheered happily, "Ooh! I can't wait to get started!" "Me too!" Jade agreed excitedly, "We're gonna build the best and greatest sand castle the world ever seen!" "You said it, Jade!" Sweetie Belle agreed while showing her draft to her friends, "This kind of design is gonna win that trophy!" "Don't forget the tools! My family always have the best ones!" Apple Bloom cheered proudly and firmly. "Best important of all, we've got some serious supports!" Nyx exclaimed happily while waving to her family and friends. They waved back to her as well. She smiled proudly, "With you guys and them, we're gonna knock them dead! We're gonna win this contest!" "YEAH!" Cutie Mark Crusaders cheered happily and proudly while giving each other high-five. "Yeah, right! Like that's gonna happen," The familiar voice exclaimed arrogantly, alerting Cutie Mark Crusaders. They turned and looked back. They found Diamond Tiara in her blackish swimsuit and Silver Spoon worn her yellowish swimsuit. She continued, "The only one who's gonna win it is us!" Silver Spoon nodded in agreement, "Yeah! There's no way you all can beat us. We have the best tools to build the best sand castle you'll ever seen! Trust me. You'll lose!" "I wouldn't bet on it yet," Scootaloo said confidently and firmly. "Yeah. I'm with Scoot! This ain't over until the fat lady sings!" Jade said firmly and determinedly. She gave some second thoughts, "Or is it something like 'this is just the beginning'." "Either way, we're the ones gonna win this," Apple Bloom said determinedly. "Yeah, right. You're gonna win the last place," Diamond Tiara said arrogantly, "While we win the fist." Silver Spoon smirked cockily, "Yeah. So, do us a favor. Give up before you get embarrassed in the event." Sweetie Belle scoffed, "You're gonna have to make us." Nyx smirked, "And trust us, only one of us is gonna walk away with that trophy. It's gonna be us, and not you." Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon gave their cocky smirk, "You're on." Cutie Mark Crusaders and Snotty Duo gave each other a determined and competitive glaring at each other. They're determined to win this contest and also proving that one of them is the best at building sand castle, no matter what. As all the participants including Cutie Mark Crusaders and Snotty Duo prepared themselves with their tools and design of sand castle, they're in position to start the race. As the referee blew the whistle, the participants charged in and started building the sand castle. And at the same time, the crowd went wild and cheered for them. Cutie Mark Crusaders' families and friends are supporting for them as well. The participants worked very hard for building and making the sand castles of their own version - Middle Age Castle style, cities, villages, statues-like, landscape and so on. Cutie Mark Crusaders and Snotty Duo worked together yet determined and very hard to accomplish their goals. As Sweetie Belle shown her design draft and also explained of how it worked, Apple Bloom and Scootaloo handled with gathering the pails of sand and then putting them on the ground, which allowed Nyx and Jade to sculpture and customized the makeshift pail-like sand into different kind of shapes. Through speed and strength of determination, Snotty Duo pilled up the buckets before customized and sculpture their own version of sand castle. The work of building sand castles has taken them to complete for almost an hour and a half. The referee blew the whistle, making the participants to finish up their sand castle in time. They then stood besides their sand castles-like or various kind of sculptures. The judges patiently and carefully looked through all of them one-by-one before they wrote down on their writing pads about the results. They then come across Snotty Duo as their artwork is sand sculpture of themselves for making v-for-victory pose while standing on the stone. They even came across to Cutie Mark Crusaders' whose design is Canterlot Castle-like design and the banner on it. The judges talked with each other firmly and calmly about the sand castles and sand sculptures. Almost all participants and spectators were silent yet impatiently and excitedly about the results. After the discussion, the judges stood on top of the stages as they're making the announcement now. "And the winner goes to…" The judge said calmly and firmly, keeping the suspense and making the crowd including Cutie Mark Crusaders and Snotty Duo nervous and uneasy. He then answered, "Pipsqueak, Dinky Doo and Twist for making the best classic sand castle design and Star Swirl the Bearded sculpture as well!" The crowd and participants went wild and gave the round of applause for the winner. Pipsqueak, Dinky Doo and Twist cheered happily while dancing around wildly. They approached and received the trophy from the judges. They then raised their trophies up high for winning it. Cutie Mark Crusaders and Snotty Duo were in shock and surprise of what they just heard. "No way!" Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon cried in disbelief and disappointment. Scootaloo sighed in disappointment, "Aw man… We lose." "Well, at least we have our fun," Nyx complimented. Jade scoffed while crossed her arms, "I supposed so. But it would be better if we beat Snotty Brats too." "Well, you snooze, you lose," Sweetie Belle commented. Apple Bloom nodded, "True. Not like we get second place." "Second place goes to Cutie Mark Crusaders! Third place goes to Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon!" The judge added on, surprising both teams. They both received the award from the judge. He continued, "That would be all. Congratulation to all participants for making the sand castle and sculptures! Job well done!" The crowd went wild again while photographers were taking photos of the winners and the event as well. Cutie Mark Crusaders couldn't help but feel proud of their victory, despite them being placed on number 2. To their surprise, they found Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon raised their hands out before them. "Nice work, Crusaders. You get number 2 and better than me as well," Diamond Tiara commented reluctantly yet humbly. Silver Spoon nodded, "Yeah. Good job to you. Wish we could have done better." Though still surprised yet uncertain and skeptical by Snotty Duo's comments, Cutie Mark Crusaders smiled warmly as they shook their hands back. "Yeah, thanks," Scootaloo thanked warmly. "It was nice of you to say something nice to us," Sweetie Belle commented. "Well, don't get use to it. Next time, we'll be sure to win!" Diamond Tiara said determinedly. Silver Spoon nodded, "Yeah. So, be sure that you get an 'A' game for next competition because we'll be too!" "Wouldn't dream of it," Jade scoffed. Apple Bloom nodded, "Don't worry. I'm sure the next game. One of us is gonna win the number one." "Count on it!" Cutie Mark Crusaders and Snotty Duo exclaimed firmly and determinedly. Nyx giggled uneasily yet nervously, "Geez, girls. It's just a game."

Baby Turtles (Mystic Version) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Another day on the beach as Flare Tiger, Icy, Fluttershy and Cutie Mark Crusaders were having another relaxation yet fun day. Both Fluttershy and Icy were relaxing on the beach chair. Flare Tiger and Cutie Mark Crusaders were playing volley ball. Rainbow’s pet – Tank was sleeping peacefully and quietly since Scootaloo told her that she will look after it. As everyone was enjoying their relaxing beach day, Fluttershy heard a distressed cry in her ears. She gasped in concern as she got up at once. Everyone stopped their activities and turned to her, wondering what spooked her. “Is everything okay, Fluttershy?” Icy asked in concern. “I don't think so. I hear crying.” Fluttershy admitted in concern. With the help of her geode, she listened and sensed carefully of what kind of animals that gave distressed cry. She continued in concern, “From a bunch of baby sea turtles. They just hatched and are trying to find their way to the water. But they're lost.” “Oh, no!” Icy exclaimed in concern. “Oh. Those poor baby turtles,” Sweetie Belle said in concern. “Ohhh... How could I ever find a bunch of teeny, tiny turtles on this great, big beach?!” Fluttershy asked in concern. “Dug the sand out?” Jade suggested playfully. “Yeah! It would be quick for us to find the baby tortoises!” Scootaloo exclaimed happily. “Turtle, not tortoise!” Nyx corrected Scootaloo. “Is there a difference?” Scootaloo asked in annoyance. Apple Bloom flicked on Scootaloo’s head, “It’s different, genius. Turtles and Tortoises got different legs and different place to live, duh.” “So, how are we exactly gonna find them?” Icy asked in concern. Scootaloo spotted Tank was still sleeping. She picked him up and suggested, “Maybe Tank could help us?” Everyone groaned by Scootaloo’s ignorance to their explanation, prompted Jade to whack on her forehead. She yelped in pain while rubbing it. “What was that for?” Scootaloo asked in annoyance. “We just explained a minute ago, doofus. Tank and the baby sea turtles are not the same,” Jade said in annoyance. Flare Tiger hummed thoughtfully, “But they’re somewhat related species. I mean, they’ve got same bone structures, shells and lived on both land and water. Plus, they’ve got some kind of family instinct. So, Tank should able to find them, right?” Fluttershy gave some thoughts as well, “Maybe… But it's worth a try.” “Alright, everyone! Roll to the Rescue!” Nyx cheered happily, prompted her friends to cheer as well. Flare Tiger picked and held Tank, acted like a compass and gave the firm order, “Lead the way, Tank!” Tank saluted firmly. Fluttershy and her friends marched out as they followed the tortoise’s head movement, pointing the direction. They spent an hour or two of searching for the baby sea turtles. Eventually, they’ve arrived and passed by the large rocks. Just moving behind the large rocks, Tank spotted the baby sea turtles digging and emerging out from the sand. He quickly pointed at them. “There they are!” Icy called out. Fluttershy’s Team halted at once, looking at the sea turtles. One of them emerged out from the sand. It gave a gentle sneeze, making them awed happily for looking at how cute they are. “You did it, Tank!” Flare Tiger exclaimed happily as she put the tortoise down. “So, what do we do now?” Sweetie Belle asked. Fluttershy smiled as she answered while looking at the surroundings, “We just need to help them get to the water safely. But also, we need to deal with some obstacles like over this sand dune, past those rocks and crabs, beyond that abandoned sandcastle city, and around that dangerous shipwreck!” “That sounds easy enough,” Scootaloo commented confidently as she was about to grab the sea turtle, “We'll just carry them to safety.” “We can’t!” Fluttershy protested in concern, stopping Scootaloo from grabbing the baby sea turtle. She continued, “They have to make the journey on their own so they can imprint and return to this beach when they lay their own eggs someday.” Scootaloo groaned, “That’s gonna take it too long! Not to mention, they’re very slow.” “Well, not if you tried to scare them off. You can’t rush things, you know,” Jade scolded Scootaloo. “So, what’s next?” Apple Bloom asked. “I’ll be taking the baby sea turtles,” A cocky and arrogant voice spoke up. Everyone looked up at the top of sand dune. They found Tech, who worn blackish swimming trunks with smiley faces. He scoffed, “Since no one wants to take them.” “TECH?!” Everyone exclaimed in disbelief. “What the heck are you doing here?!” Apple Bloom demanded angrily. Nyx groaned, “What are you up to?!” Tech smirked cockily, “Isn’t it obviously? I’m gonna make them turtle soup.” Everyone gasped in shock and disbelief. Icy groaned, “You can’t do that! Don’t you realize that sea turtle are endangered species and you want to eat them?!” Tech scoffed while crossed his arms, “So what?! Animals are stupid and endangered species. They’re for us to eat, duh. So, why save them?” Fluttershy gasped in shock before gave angry looks, “First of all, the animals are living beings like us! They’re worth to be saved and treated equally! Secondly, even if some of us enjoyed eating meat, we will never go that far when some species are endangered species! Finally, I won’t let you take and eat the babies! You’ll have toi go through me!” “All of us!” Flare Tiger declared firmly, along with the rest of her friends. Tech laughed out amusingly and madly, “Yeah, right. Like you girls are so sissy enough to take me.” He cleared his throat as he pushed the red button of his remote controller, summoning the squadron of Techbots. He continued, “Now step aside and let me get my turtle soup!” Fluttershy and her team remained firm and determined as they refused to move aside. Icy spoke up, “You already heard her, punk. She said ‘no’!” Tech scoffed, “Fine by me. Techbots, attack!” As commanded, Techbots charged and attacked Fluttershy’s Team. Icy quickly summoned her Walls of Ice to block and deflect the attacks. Looking at the Cutie Mark Crusaders, Fluttershy gave the order, “Girls! Remove everything! Protect the baby turtles! Make sure they have to reach the shore!” Understanding that Fluttershy and her friends are buying time, Cutie Mark Crusaders nodded firmly and determinedly, “Got it!” Cutie Mark Crusaders headed off at once to deal with the obstacles. Fluttershy, Icy and Flare Tiger charged and engaged Tech and his Techbots. Using her Animal Ruby, Fluttershy used the spiritual power of Squid’s slippery, Crab’s claws and Sea Turtle’s defense to fight them. Icy used her Icing Skated Blades to fight them, along with firing her Ice Beam and Frozen Shards at them on sky. Using her Time Spell for halting the time, Flare Tiger punched and kicked them off. They have defeated and destroyed all of Techbots. They turned and glared at Tech, who laughed nervously before panicking and running off with his life. And at the same time, Cutie Mark Crusaders removed the obstacles as quickly as they can. Scootaloo and Jade dug out the sand dune and also shoveling the crabs out. Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle and Nyx took down the boulders one-by-one as fast as they can. Scootaloo and Jade knocked down the sand castle. Sweetie Belle easily removed the toy ship. “Good job, girls. The path is clear.” Fluttershy commented happily. Cutie Mark Crusaders giggled happily about the compliment. She then looked at the shore. She smiled, “Go, baby turtles! Be free!” Everyone waited for the baby sea turtles to arrive and entered into the sea. But nothing happened. To their shock and surprise, the baby sea turtles were nowhere to be found. “Um… Where’s the adorable tiny turtles?” Icy asked in concern and surprise. “Wait a sec! Where’s Tank?!” Scootaloo asked in fear. Fluttershy and her team returned to the site of baby sea turtle hatched and emerged out from the sand. They found the site is empty and no sign of them. Sweetie Belle hissed, “Oh boy… This is not good…” “Hey, guys! Look! The trail!” Jade exclaimed while pointed at the trail on sand. Fluttershy’s Team followed the trail, passing by the tall grasses. And to their surprise and amazement, they’re looking at Tank leading the baby sea turtles to another side of shores. “Wow! Tank’s leading the babies to another shore! He knew there’s gonna be serious fight and danger!” Apple Bloom exclaimed in surprise. “Smart Tortoise,” Flare Tiger commented. Fluttershy’s Team arrived at the shore, meeting up with Tank and the baby sea turtles. Fluttershy kneeled down before the tortoise. “Well done, Tank!” Fluttershy congratulated Tank. Some of baby sea turtle approached and nuzzled him She giggled, “They think Tank's their mommy.” “That is so cute,” Nyx and Sweetie Belle commented. After saying the goodbyes to Tank, the baby sea turtles entered and swam off into the sea. One of them waved goodbye to him. The tortoise smiled proudly and happily before shedding tears a bit as he’s gonna miss them and prayed for them to live happily and peacefully in the sea. END... Review and Suggest...

Shadow Dragonw as training both Spike and Dragoking, making sure they’re in best shape. Applejack was eating apple as she has just arrived to meet up with others. “Can’t wait to try out with substitute lifeguard work. It’s gonna be fun,” Applejack commented happily. She then spotted the magazine on the beach chair. She picked it up while giggled a bit, “Should have known that Rarity left her Canterlot Beat magazine here! I wonder where she’s off to.” Twilight shrugged a bit, “She said about trying to find some more accessory for her new looks.” She sighed, “I’d swear if she keeps on doing that, sooner she’s gonna lose them and get into unnecessary troubles.” “True enough,” Applejack agreed with a giggle. She took the seat on beach chair while reading the magazine. She hummed amusingly, “Well, well, what do you know? It even has a pop quiz!” “A quiz? On what? But I haven't studied!” “Relax, Twilight. This pop quiz is not related to our school studies. No need for you to get wrapped for nothing as always!” “Hey!” Twilight grumbled, feeling offended. Applejack giggled a bit, “Anyhow. The pop quiz is about our friendship. ‘Score your friendship levels: Are you BFFs for life?’ Think we can score for this?” Twilight smiled confidently, “Isn’t it obvious? I’m in! Bring it!” “Alright. Question 1: What’s your best friend's favorite food?” Applejack quoted out from the magazine. Twilight and Applejack gave some thoughts carefully of remembering their own friends’ favorite food. “Salad?” Applejack answered while Twilight spoke, “Apples?” “Actually, mixing fruit juice and salad are kinda my favorite food. Apple is second favorite food,” Applejack answered calmly, “Yours is salad, right?” Twilight shook her head, “That was my third favorite. But my real favorite is Cheeseburger and Fries.” “Really, Cheeseburger? Never thought you would enjoy eating fast food,” Applejack commented with a joke. She cleared her throat while reading the magazine, “Next question: ‘Favorite part of school.’ It's... hmmm...” Twilight and Applejack thought carefully again about what their friends’ favorite school. They smiled proudly as they know the answer. “Sports/Library?” Twilight and Applejack answered in unison. “Not really in sports, but I enjoyed woodshop,” Applejack commented happily, “I do need to repairs for my home. What about Library? Did I get it right?” Twilight shook her head in disagreement, “Going to library is second. Using computer for both research and work is the best part.” “Okay. Guess it’s still zero-zero. Looks like we’re even,” Applejack joked, “Last question: ‘What is your friend's biggest fear?’” Twilight and Applejack gave some thoughts before answered in unison, “Um… Apple Farm being stolen/Failing the exam?” Twilight shook her head in disagreement, “I’m more scared about me being taken over by evil spirit.” “Well. Apple Farm being taken away is the second worst thing to think about. What I’m scared the most is that I get seasick.” Applejack answered uneasily. “Seasick? Really?” Twilight asked in disbelief. “Yeah. Last time, I went by boat with my stomach full, I almost throw up at Big Mac. Boy, he was very angry with me for that.” Applejack said in uneasy tone with a giggle. She cleared her throat, “Looks like we flunked.” “FLUNKED?!” Twilight asked in disbelief as she snatched the magazine from her best friend. She looked through it, “Are there no more questions?!” “Twilight, calm down. It’s just the quiz. There’s no need for you to get worked up,” Applejack said calmly. “Don’t tell me how not to get worked up?!” Twilight snapped in annoyance and frustration while looking through the magazine. Finishing playing with the pets, Shadow Dragon returned to his friend’s side. He then asked, “Hey, guys? What’s Twilight doing?” Applejack sighed in annoyance, “She’s going crazy with pop quiz again.” “Ah ha! Found it! ‘Are you both the Perfect Couples Level’?” Twilight exclaimed happily upon her finding. She smiled at her boyfriend, “Are you ready?” Shadow Dragon sighed, “Twilight, I don’t think-!” Twilight interrupted, “Question 1: What is your lover’s favorite hobby?” She squealed happily, “This is so easy! Martial Arts!” “Nope. Mine is Arts. Martial Art is my second favorite.” Shadow Dragon disagreed, shocking Twilight. He cleared his throat, “My guess about you is mostly reading and studies.” Twilight shook her head in disagreement, “Nope. That’s my second favorite. Mine is going around the around and learning!” Shadow Dragon was in shock and disbelief. She cleared her throat while reading the magazine, “Still zeroes. No worries. Second question – what’s your favorite music.” Twilight and Shadow Dragon hummed thoughtfully, “Pop Song/Classics?” “Not quite. Mine is something about Hip Hop and Pop Style. Pinkie shown me that kind of music. I kinda like it,” Twilight said happily, “And you?” “Rock and Roll,” Shadow Dragon answered. “Still zero…” Twilight said in disappointment. She sighed, “One last question – what’s your lover’s favorite scenery?” “Is it…” Twilight and Shadow Dragon answered in unison, “Dojo/Science Lab?” “Dojo? Really?” Shadow Dragon asked in annoyance, making Twilight giggled uneasily. He sighed, “Mine is Spring’s Cheery/Peach Blossoming Trees. They’re the best and beautiful things I ever seen. Yours?” “As much as I loved science, I’d prefer snowy field,” Twilight answered teasingly, surprising Shadow Dragon and Applejack. She looked at the magazine. She shown her disbelief and shocked looks, “This can’t be it! This can’t be!” Shadow Dragon groaned while shaking his head, “Twilight, would you just calm down? It’s just a silly quiz.” Applejack nodded, “Yeah. Just because we failed the pop quiz, doesn’t mean that we’re not friends and couples. We still are.” Twilight hummed thoughtfully, “You both are right! It's deeply unscientific. I'll do my own calculations to empirically prove my relationship with you two are still together…” She then gave her determined and scary looks, “foreveeeerrrrrrrr...” Seeing her scary looks made both Shadow Dragon and Applejack nervous and scared while looking at each other, “Here we go again…” “You guys just have to do that, don’t ya?” Spike asked in annoyance. Dragoking shrugged, “Could be worse…” Twilight has spent hours of researching and studying on books of mathematic, physics, chemistry and science; trying to prove that her relationship with Shadow Dragon and Applejack are together forever. And of course, they helped her out as well Applejack provided apple juice for her and Shadow Dragon to drink. Whenever she has a headache, Shadow Dragon assisted her by massaging her head and shoulder, making her more relaxed. Spike and Dragoking nuzzled and comfort her warmly and calmly. Taking the break, they have play volley ball together with Dragoking and Spike. Despite their help, Twilight also helped them out by buying lunch for them to eat. After hours of studying and calculating her ‘relationship’, Twilight wrote everything down on the sand of the calculation, equation and symbols. She studied the equation carefully to conclude her answer. “I’ve got it!” Twilight exclaimed happily. Just before she could explain, the waves washed in and wiped out most of the equation. This shocked and alerted the rest of her friends. “Twilight, your relationship equation!” Applejack exclaimed in concern. “That's all right. Our relationship is unquantifiable!” Twilight answered happily. Everyone looked confuse and uncertain of Twilight’s answers. Spike spoke, “Uh, Twilight, not everyone understands your mathematic answer?” Twilight giggled before gave both Applejack and Shadow Dragon warm and comfort hug. She smiled, “It just means it can't be measured.” “Oh!” Applejack said in understanding before laughed a bit. She then hugged Twilight back, “I coulda told you that!” Shadow Dragon nodded while hugging his girlfriend back, “Tried not to think too hard, okay?” “No problem,” Twilight answered playfully with a wink. “Think she can do that?” Dragoking asked in annoyance. Spike shrugged, “Probably not.” END… Review and Suggest… Main Casts: Tara Strong: Twilight Sparklke Ashleigh Ball: Applejack Matt Lanter: Shadow Dragon Cathy Weseluck: Spike Dee Bardley Baker: Dragoking > S3E11: Turf War (Mystic Version) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Another day for everyone to enjoy at the beach such as children making sand castle and some were splashing on the ocean's water. Timber Spruce, a local camp consultant from Camp Everfree, is now working as the lifeguard at the beach. He hummed happily while lying down on his beach chair. To his surprise, he found Applejack, who worn green T-Shirt with Lifeguard Icon and red shots, arrived at the scene. She then stretched out and warmed up calmly and firmly. "Ahoy, Applejack! Whatcha doin'?" Timber asked casually. Applejack smiled while stretching out, "I'm the substitute lifeguard today, and I'm ready to dive in headfirst. What's the plan?" Timber shrugged as he got out from his beach chair. He then walked down the ramp while said calmly, "Well, there's not much to do so far, so just take a load off." Applejack smirked, "That's not my way. Gotta be prepared." "Oh. Heh. Me, too. It's just that my time at Camp Everfree taught me to trust in myself and be confident—!" Timber was interrupted by baby's cries. He gasped, "Someone in need! Timber to the rescue!" Just as Timber arrived at the shore, he was surprised as he found Applejack was holding and carrying the baby on her arms while returning to the shore. She approached to the mother, who was scared and worried for her child's safety. "My baby!" The mother exclaimed in relief as she received her baby from Applejack. She asked warmly, "Oh, how can I ever repay you?" "Just doin' ma job, ma'am." Applejack commented while tipping her hat. She approached to Timber. She commented while giving fist bump against Timber's shoulder, "Uh, I got here first, so I just took care o' savin' that kid for ya. You're welcome!" Timber grunted, "Ow! Heh. You didn't have to." Suddenly, Timber and Applejack heard someone's scream. They turned back to the ocean, where they found Lyra's losing her balance to stand on her surfing board. She just returned from surfing and unable to control her movement. "Oh! I'll handle this!" Timber exclaimed as he ran straight to Lyra. She almost fell off the surfing board if not for him to grab and held both of her hands. He smiled at Applejack, "See? This is the kind of lifesaving instinct I developed at Everfree." Applejack rolled her eyes in annoyance. She then heard someone yelped in shock and concern. She turned back to the beach, where she found another woman's ice-cream was about to fall on the sand. She used and threw her hat to the ground before the pinkish ice-cream fall. Applejack approached towards the woman. She picked her hat up before flip upside down for putting back the pink ice-cream on the woman's ice-cream. Applejack smirked as she turned and glanced at Timber, "See, this is what hard work can do." Impressed and amazed by Applejack's determination, Timber gave his cocky and confident smile at her. She smiled cockily at him. Just as they regrouped at the middle of beach, they gave each other a rivalry glare as if they're on competition. "ACE! WHERE ARE YOU?!" Saber cried in distress. Timber and Applejack turned and approached to Saber, who was shouting while looking around of his surroundings. He looked distressed and scared. "Saber, what's wrong?" Applejack asked. "It's Ace! I can't find him!" Saber exclaimed in concern. Timber smirked as he patted Saber's back, "Don't worry, Saber. I'll find him." Applejack scoffed, "No! I will find him! I know how to find out!" "He's a naked mole rat! There's no way he could stay on daylight. He must be underneath the sand. I bet we can dig out the sand to find him." "A mutated naked mole rat, Timber! He can stay in day and night time! So, the only way to find him is give him the food he likes." "What do you mean the food he likes?! Naked mole rats don't get hungry!" "I know Ace more than you!" "As if! I know naked mole rats than you!" Saber groaned as he shouted, "Would you guys knock it off and help me find Ace?! I can't imagine how scared and lonely he gets if we don't find him!" Applejack and Timber hissed in shame, "Sorry!" Suddenly, three of them heard shouting and screaming for 'help'. They turned and looked at the ocean, where they spotted Bulk Bicep panicked and struggled to swim and balance himself. They even found Ace's on top of Bulk Bicep's hat. He screamed for help while waving the white flag for help. "ACE!" Saber shouted in concern. "Got it!" Applejack and Timber exclaimed in unison. Both Applejack and Timber dived into the ocean. They swam towards Bulk Biceps. Saber followed them from behind, making sure that they don't do anything stupid. Upon reaching Bulk Biceps, Applejack held on his left while Timber grabbed on his right. "I gotcha!" Applejack shouted. Timber grunted, "I've got you!" Both Applejack and Timber grunted as they were pulling Bulk Biceps' hands while swimming towards their own direction. This made him cried tearfully and sadly while Ace screamed in fear. "Why are you crying? We're savin' you!" Applejack shouted. Bulk Biceps cried, "It's just I hate to... see you fight!" Timber grunted in disagreement, "We're not fighting." "Really?" Bulk Biceps asked curiously. "From what I've seen, it does look like you're both fighting," Saber scolded upon arriving to the scene. He huffed angrily, "Look at what your rivalry did! You almost ripped Bulk Biceps apart, and Ace nearly gonna fall and drown if he hadn't hold on it tightly. You guys are lifeguards, so your job is to help and save the lives, not screwing around with your rivalry." Both Applejack and Timber looked ashamed of what Saber has said. He sighed, "You're right. We're kind of fighting. But we're also saving you." Applejack nodded, "Yeah. With my elbow grease and Timber's know-how, we actually make a pretty good team." "Seems that way," Saber commented, "Ready to work together?" Applejack and Timber smiled, "Deal." Just as three of them were swimming back while holding on Bulk Biceps' shoulder, he suddenly stood up while holding three of them on his arms. He then walked all the way back to the shore. They're all shocked and surprised by his sudden action. Ace jumped and landed on Saber's palm. Both of them cooed happily to be reunited. "Thanks, guys!" Bulk Biceps said happily. Suddenly, a woman yelped in concern, alerting everyone else. Timber smirked, "Race ya?" Applejack nodded, "Yeehaw!" Applejack and Timber headed off to rescue another civilian. Saber shouted, "Remember! No crazy rivalry during your mission!" "We know!" Timber and Applejack cheered. As soon as Timber and Applejack continued running; Saber, Bulk Biceps and Ace gave secret smirk to each other. "Ya think they'll be alright?" Bulk Biceps asked in confusion. Saber shrugged while patted Ace, "Who knows? By the way, Bulk, thanks for the help. That was pretty good act for a guy, who can't swim." Bulk Biceps smiled, "Happy to help. I'm happy that they're still good friends."

They're now cheering and pleading them to sing on stage. Though embarrassed and flustered about singing, Lance helped and dragged Juniper up on the stage. He passed her the keytar. He, her and the rest of their band began playing the instruments while singing passionately and happily. The crowd watched the event in awe and happy. Chorus: Like a river flows that's the way it goes You're the one I'm falling in love with you Like a river flows that's the way it goes You're the one I'm falling in love with you Like a river flows that's the way it goes You're the one I'm falling in love with you Juniper and Lance: Like a river flows that's the way it goes You're the one I'm falling in love with you By the end of their song and instrument, the crowd went wild and applauded for Lance, Juniper and the band. They all taken a bow before the crowd. And at the same time, Juniper couldn't help but feel proud and happy about singing and dancing especially working together with Lance.

Main Casts: Ali Liebert: Juniper Montage Jesse McCartney: Lance Justicestrike > S3E13: The Guys' Night > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Just a normal and ordinary school day, the students were chatting and having fun during their lunch time. Twilight, Fluttershy, Applejack and Rainbow were chatting and laughing over Zephyr Breeze's failed attempt to charm and ask Sour Sweet for a date. Suddenly, they stopped as they found Shadow Dragon, Terrorcreep and Saber were chatting secretly and quietly, which they nodded in agreement and firmly. They were a bit of suspicious and weary of it. The girls decided to check it out. "What are you guys up to?" Rainbow asked, scaring the guys. "NOTHING!" Shadow Dragon, Terrorcreep and Saber shouted in fear and concern, making the girls suspicious. "If it's nothing, then you wouldn't tell us," Applejack asked curiously. Fluttershy nodded in agreement, "Whatever it is, we will support and help you with this problem." "So, what is it? Something dangerous?" Twilight asked curiously. "Nothing dangerous!" Shadow Dragon said firmly and calmly, "We're just talking about Saber's latest dish about mixing with taco. He said it would be the blast!" Though he wasn't sure if it's a good idea, Saber played along and lied though he has itchy nose to rub off, "Yeah! I'm working on something new dish! I'm sure it will knock them dead!" "Really?" The girls asked suspiciously. "Really!" Shadow Dragon and Saber confirmed. Terrorcreep groaned as he pushed and moved his friends ahead, "Let's just keep going, fools! We're wasting time. Let's just deal with this problem tonight." Shadow Dragon and Saber grumbled and complained by Terrorcreep's pushing them away from the girls. They all becoming suspicious and weary of their excuses. "What are they up to now?" Rainbow asked. Applejack nodded firmly, "Yeah. They definitely come up with excuses. They're hiding something." "I don't remember Terrorcreep ever enjoyed taco or nacho," Fluttershy added in concern. Twilight huffed a bit while crossed her hands, "Whatever it is, we're gonna find out tonight. They're not getting off that easily. We're gonna have a stakeout tonight. Are you with me?" Rainbow, Applejack and Fluttershy nodded firmly and determinedly as they're concerned with the boys' doing. As the sun setting down, Twilight and her friends met up at Mr. Tao's Antique Shop. They all worn black jumpsuit to blend in with the night and hiding behind the parked cars. They were waiting while peeking and keeping their eyes out on Shadow Dragon and his friends, though they would get bored and irritated that they have to wait for long. By 8pm, Twilight and her friends were still waiting and spying on Shadow Dragon and his friends. To their surprise, Mr. Tao's Antique Shop's door was opened and revealed Shadow Dragon, Saber and Terrorcreep. The boys looked around of their surroundings as they nodded firmly and calmly. They quickly moved out at once, heading to the south. "They're on the move," Rainbow reported. Twilight nodded, "Yeah. Time to find out what the boys really up." Twilight and her friends headed off and followed the boys from behind. And at the same time, they have to stick and hid behind large compartments and the shadows, avoiding from being spotted and found by them. They have to find out what the boys really up to. After nearly half-an-hour of travelling, Shadow Dragon and his friends arrived at the town's outskirt, where the crowd, cars and motorcycles were gathered. Most of the people were chattering and partying happily while others have prepared and boarded on their cars. Shadow Dragon, Terrorcreep, Saber and even Tailtech were among them. Tailtech was helping to tinker and make sure that their vehicles are alright and ready for the race. Shadow Dragon boarded on his black motorcycle. Saber gotten into his greenish-colored Pontiac Solstice Car. Terrorcreep have gotten into his navy-colored motorcycle. They're readied for the race. "All set and ready, guys!" Tailtech cheered happily. "Got it," Shadow Dragon said firmly. He turned to Terrorcreep and Saber, "Think you can keep up with me?" Terrorcreep scoffed, "Are you?" "Don't get cocky." Saber said playfully and amusingly, "Just have the fun, okay? And screw ups. Got it?" Shadow Dragon and Terrorcreep groaned, "Yeah, yeah, yeah…" "Racers, start your engine!" The Announcers declared firmly. Tailtech smiled, "It's time, guys. Knock them dead!" Shadow Dragon, Saber and Terrorcreep nodded firmly and proudly. Just as they and other racers started their engines, the referee armed with his checkered flag. Just as he counted down from three to one, he swung down his flag, signaling the racers to start the race at once. They all drove off across the long road. The crowd went wild again. Twilight, Rainbow, Applejack and Fluttershy were in disbelief of what they saw. They couldn't believe that the boys were actually street racing. "Can you believe those guys?" Rainbow asked in disbelief. Applejack nodded while crossed her arms, "Yeah. I can't believe that they're street racing. What were they thinking?" "Apparently not. It's no wonder they don't want to tell us," Twilight grumbled, "When they're done with it, we're gonna give them some serious talk to them about lying and keeping this from us." "Yeah," Applejack and Rainbow agreed firmly and seriously. "I'm sure they have the reason for doing it," Fluttershy said kindly, surprising the girls. She continued, "We should give them the benefit of doubts. They're actually good friends, not really did anything bad." Though still doubted and annoyed by the boys' lies, the girls knew that Fluttershy was right. They should give them the benefit of doubts. They decided to watch the show and pray that the boys win the race. Twilight and her friends continued watching the street racing. Shadow Dragon, Saber and Terrorcreep managed to keep up and overcome most of the racers. And at the same time, they also avoid from being clashed and knocked by them, though they get competitive with each other, wanting to win the race. After going through three laps with difficult backed turn, roadblocks and challenging; Shadow Dragon, Saber and Terrorcreep were ahead while getting competitive with knocking each other as they're trying to reach the finishing line. Upon arriving at it, three of them managed to reach and race through it. The crowd went wild and cheers for him as well. Though annoyed that they didn't win it; Shadow Dragon, Saber and Terrorcreep gave a fist bump to each other for winning the race. As soon as the crowd dispersed; Shadow Dragon, Saber, Terrorcreep and Tailtech were at the stage, meeting with the announcer. "That's some race," Twilight commented playfully yet angrily, shocking and scaring the boys. They turned and looked at her and her friends. She continued, "That must be some fun." Applejack nodded dryly, "So, wanna tell us why you race for this?" "You know that street racing is illegal," Fluttershy added in concern. Have the feeling that the girl would demand the answer; the boys sighed in annoyance. Before they could explain, the announcer arrived and meet up with them. He also brought bruised and unconscious Zephyr Breeze before them. "Zephyr Breeze?! What are you doing here?" Fluttershy asked in annoyance. "That troublemaker caused me lots of bucks! I would have forced him to do some serious paycheck if not for your friends!" Announcer snapped angrily as he pushed Zephyr at Rainbow, who got fall to the ground. He turned and glared at the boys, "Make sure he stayed away from my race!" "No problem," Terrorcreep nodded firmly. As soon as the announcer left, Shadow Dragon and his team turned and looked at their friends. Rainbow grumbled as she managed to get Zephyr off her. "Now you know." Shadow Dragon answered calmly. "Sorry for not telling you girls. Didn't want to worry you," Saber admitted in concern. Terrorcreep nodded, "Yeah. Zephyr asked me not to tell you what he did because he's trying to impress Sour Sweet again." "Of course…" Fluttershy said in annoyance, "Always trying to charm the girls." "Still, you should have told us. We could have helped," Applejack said firmly. Twilight nodded, "Yeah. Then, we wouldn't be worried. Next time, try to tell us about it." "Sorry," The boys apologized. "Either way, glad that is over. So, don't suppose this is what you guys do for nighttime?" Rainbow asked curiously, making her friends annoyed with her. "This?" Saber asked in annoyance, "Nah! Street race is overkill." "Agreed," Terrorcreep agreed, "Plus, I prefer flying than riding and driving cars." "So, what do you guys do for the night?" Rainbow asked curiously. Shadow Dragon scoffed while winked amusingly, "That would be telling. Plus, you girls wouldn't like it." "Really?!" Twilight asked in annoyance.

Armed with his Typhoon Blaster, he quietly and stealthily sneaked and hidden behind couple of crates as he was approaching to the warehouse. He climbed to the top of pyramid of crates. He looked through the window, where he found Shadow Dragon, Aqua, Laxtinct, Rainbow and Pinkie were tied up and hanging upside down. He also even found Sevenstrike, MechaInfinite and Sixshot, and the army of Mecha Commanders and Troopers. Recalled of the event, Tailtech blamed himself for misleading his team to the empty warehouse that they believed to be Dark Terrorist's arsenal stores. But instead, they were ambushed and captured while Shadow Dragon managed to push him into the ocean to save the young one. Tailtech hissed in concern and worried of what he was looking at. He doesn't like the odds now. But he has to do something to help and save his friends before they get killed. Tailtech took a deep breathe while looking and analyzing the situation. And at the same time, he has to not to think about the danger and losing to the enemies as well. He also believed that it is his time to become a hero on his own. After some serious thinking to handle the situation, he then moved out at once by climbing on top of the rooftop. He opened up the window as he ventured inside and prepared to face them. Tailtech: I'm gonna be a brave hero, just like my friends! I'm gonna do something awesome like no hero was before I'm working on my courage, so I can laugh at the danger! I wanna be more than sidekick! After getting inside of the warehouse, Tailtech climbed down on the pyramid of crates to the ground. Loaded up and armed with his Typhoon Blaster Sniper Mode, he aimed and silently fired on couple of patrol units that was guarding on isolated area or top of the crates. After that, he climbed down from top of crates to the ground. He then found two Mecha Troopers spotted him. Just before they could alert their allies, he quickly fired his rifle on their heads, shutting them out. He quickly moved out and deal with other patrols at once. Tailtech: I've gotta be strong I've gotta be brave I've gotta be smart Now it's time to go hero! Well aware and weary of the situation, Tailtech remained firm and calm to deal with it. All he has to do is deal with the patrol and guards before rescuing his friends as the last thing he need is complicate the situation. He has stealthily hide behind the crates and the shadows while waiting for them to come towards him or busy looking elsewhere. This allowed him silently knocked them out of unconsciousness by hitting on head or killing them by sniping on their heads. Despite the challenges he has to face, Tailtech refused to back down and did his best to dwindle the enemy troops before he can help his friends. He has succeeded removed most of the units. He then headed off to the middle of warehouse, where Sevenstrike and his allies were gathered as they're still torturing and interrogating Shadow Dragon and his friends for more information. Still outnumbered and outmatched against the enemies, Tailtech gave some thoughts of handling the situation. Tailtech: Enemies got me outnumbered I can't afford to be afraid and do nothing! My friends have trusted me so much since I was rookie I wanna be more than sidekick! Just as MechaInifinite armed with his flamethrower to threaten Laxtinct and Pinkie, couple of soldiers got shot from left. This prompted him to ceased and led his soldiers to go left. Suddenly, more shots from the right. This alerted Sixshot to lead his warriors and went to the right. This left Sevenstrike alone with little soldiers to guard their prisoners. To everyone's surprise, Tailtech emerged out from the center while raising his hands up for surrendering. Just as two Mecha Commanders approached to deal with him, he took out his Silent Pistols to fire and shot on their heads, silencing them. He then threw an EMP Detonator before them. They activated and shocked Sevenstrike and his soldiers. This allowed Tailtech quickly fired and sniped at his enemies including Sevenstrike. They were all defeated and killed. Tailtech: Everybody look left Everybody look right Everywhere you look I'm Standing in the spotlight Just as Tailtech helped and freed his friends, they all complimented warmly and proudly of him for handling the situation. They suddenly got surrounded by MechaInfinite, Sixshot and their soldiers, who have returned from their scouting and searching for the enemies. They all charged and attacked them at once. Tailtech and Pinkie armed with their Typhoon Blaster and Party Cannon to fire and shoot down most of the enemies. They also fight off and engaged MechaInfinite, who fiercely and angrily fired his cannons at them. Shadow Dragon, Aqua, Rainbow and Laxtinct charged and fought against the enemies. They also fought and battled Sixshot, who firmly and calmly deflect and block the attacks while fighting back as well. Chorus: Now show them what you're made of! Don't let the bad guys tell you what you can't do! It's gonna be Tailtech's biggest moment! Shadow Dragon and his friends have defeated and killed most of the troops. They're now facing off and fighting against MechaInfinite and Sixshot, who have proven to be tough opponents for them to deal with. Nevertheless, they refused to be beaten and continued fighting. As Tailtech and Pinkie continued firing and shooting their blasters at MechaInfinite, the Godzilla-like Mecha wasn't even fazed as he charged and fired his cannons at them. They barely dodged and evaded the attacks until Laxtinct swung and slammed his Earthquake Hammer at him by guts, knocking him off. This allowed Tailtech and Pinkie to fire full powered of their weapons to blast him off. Rainbow charged as she swiftly and quickly attacked Sixshot, who managed to counter all the attacks she has make before kicked her off. He turned and faced Aqua, who firmly and fiercely swinging her Tiger Claws at him as he barely dodged and blocked the couple of attacks. Just as she thrust her claws, he blocked it. Shadow Dragon jumped and kicked him off. He and Aqua fiercely engaged Sixshot, who did his best to dodge and evade the attacks while fighting back until Rainbow went to her bask, where she swiftly and fiercely attacked him off. She then kicked back at MechaInfinite. Realizing their troops have been defeated and they're outnumbered, MechaInifnite and Sixshot grunted in anger as they have to withdraw, bringing Sevenstrike corpse with them as well. They all quickly went to the dock, where they boarded into military speedboat and made their escape. Tailtech and Chorus: I wanna be more than sidekick! I wanna be more than sidekick! And now I'm a hero, just like my friends! After witnessing Tailtech singlehandedly defeat the patrols and rescued his allies, Shadow Dragon and his team helped throwing him up and down while cheering up for him. He couldn't help but feel proud and happy of his accomplishment. He is indeed more than a sidekick. He's a hero like his friends. END… Review and Suggest… Main Casts: Kate Higgins: Tailtech > S3E15: Stressed in the Show (Flash's Ending) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fall Play was around the corner. Many of the students including Mane Seven and Dragon Strike Force are getting involved with it such as building and painting the backdrops for the play, designing and creating many kinds of props, sewing and making clothes and also rehearsing their acting and singing for the upcoming event. The event was handled and directed under Shorty Thinking and Sunset. In the afternoon, Shorty and Sunset brought Twilight, Rarity, Fluttershy, Rainbow and Flash were rehearsing for the upcoming play. Everyone seems to be enthusiasm and excited with the rehearsal except Twilight, who seems to be distracted and tired as well. Rarity used Southern Belle Accent for her role while making a dramatic pose, "Mother, I fear I do not share your dreams of coal. Instead, my heartbeat calls for me to dance!" After her line, everyone waited for Twilight to speak hers now. To their surprise and concern, she didn't respond. "Ahem. Heartbeat calls for me to dance?" Rarity repeated her lined. Twilight didn't respond again. She shouted, "To dance!" "Oh, sorry. Uh..." Twilight apologized. She then read her script, "But Selfie Soot, my sweet summer child, without your help, I'll never mine the mine in time." She suddenly panicked and exclaimed frantically in fear and stressed, "Or run lines with Flash Sentry in time, or help Applejack build a stage in time, or practice my monologue in time, or find time for time and time!" Everyone was alerted and shocked by Twilight's stressed behavior. Shorty and Sunset got off their seats while approaching to her now. "Uh, am I missing a page?" Rainbow asked in confusion while going through her script. Flash shook his head, "You're not, Rainbow. It's her stress again." "Um, when was the last time you took a break from the play?" Sunset asked. Twilight exclaimed frantically and stressfully, "Take a break! Break a leg! Break a take!" Rainbow whispered to her friends, "I think she's broken." This prompted Fluttershy to nudge her friend's arm. She yelped in pain, "What? I'm just saying." "Breathe, Twilight." Sunset said calmly while holding her friend's shoulder, "You just need something to take your mind off the play a little while. We're here for you. Right, everyone?" "Of course!" Rainbow exclaimed happily. "Let one of us help take your mind off it." Fluttershy suggested. Flash nodded firmly, "You can count on us to help out." Twilight gave some thoughts of whom can help her out with the stress of hers. Who will be the lucky guy or girl to do that? After some consideration, Twilight chose Flash to help her out since they're both now partners in science and also playing as the parents to Rarity's character – Selfie Soot. They both now at the music room, where Flash was checking and testing out his electrical guitar, making sure they're working well. "Okay, Flash, I'm here already," Twilight asked curiously and firmly, "So, how are you gonna help me feel relaxed and not get stressed too much." After setting up his electrical guitar, Flash played it a bit with soft tone, "Well, we're here to play some songs for the Fall Play, obviously. I promised Sunset and Shorty that I get it done by the end of the week." "Are you kidding me?" Twilight asked in disbelief and stressed with a headache, "I thought you said that you wanna help me with my stress problem!" "I am." Flash answered calmly, making Twilight confused. He explained, "Whenever I get stressed, I played some music to calm my stress and nerve down. Or better yet, listening to music also make your stress disappeared." "Really?" "What? Don't tell me that you'd never done it before?" "To be honest, I'm more of reading books than doing some outdoors. And may I remind you that I'm a vocal. I'd never play any instrument in my life. I'm sure you know that, Flash." Realizing what Twilight was talking, Flash gave a facepalm on his head, "Of course. I forgot." "Still, are you sure that playing or listening to music will help me stress down?" Twilight asked in doubts. "Sure," Flash smiled confident, "It's simple. I need you to listen carefully to my music and song. If you find any music that I conduct and play peaceful and great, you'll fall asleep peacefully and quietly. You ready?" Twilight sighed while shrugged a bit, "Since I'm here, might as well try it out. Here goes nothing…" Just as Twilight sat down on the staircase, Flash began playing his guitar for her to listen carefully. He played it in different kind of tunes such as smooth and gentle as the melody, electronically hard and fierce as heavy metal, gentle and harmonically as the classic, popstar and hiphop style of tune. Twilight listened to almost all of them. She sighed warmly and calmly as she couldn't help but feel peaceful and happy to hear them, though some tunes a bit rough for her to enjoy. She gave some criticism on how the music should goes, which he agreed to make some changes on it. Though it was serious works, Twilight didn't seemed to be stressed or bothered about it. Flash came across to 'Beauty of the World' song, which soothed gently and harmonically towards her ears. Twilight sighed happily as she actually like the song before falling to her sleep on the staircase. After playing the music, Flash found her lying down on the staircase. He slowly and gently picked Twilight up with his hands. He placed her on the sofa chair for her to relax. She slept soundly and peacefully. He sighed in relief that he finally succeeded to get her rest for good. He then heard the door opened. He turned and found Sunset and Shorty entered the music room. "So, how is she?" Sunset asked. Flash smiled with thumbs up, "Sleep like a baby. Told ya that I can make her sleep." "What a relief," Shorty said in agreement, "And the soundtrack?" Flash smirked as he picked up couple of soundtrack CDs, "All are in. Ready for the show." Shorty nodded, "Excellent. Good job." "Just doing my job, sir," Flash commented confidently. Twilight yawned out loud, alerting Flash and his friends. Sunset cleared her throat, "I think we should put earphones to listen to music. We don't wanna wake her up." Shorty and Flash nodded in agreement and firmly. The scientist student brought his laptop with him. Just as he turned it on, they placed the CDs into it. Playing the soundtracks, they all used their earphones attached to it for them to listen carefully. And at the same time, Twilight was still sleeping peacefully and soundly.

And today it was packed with many customers including Twilight, Rarity, Rainbow Dash and even Icy were there. "Whoa! This place is packed!" Twilight commented. Icy nodded, "Yeah. For almost 1950's Diner, it did a pretty good job of staying alive and making good business." Pinkie arrived at her friends' dining table. She greeted, "Welcome, girls!" She passed the menu to her friends, "Be back soon!" Pinkie headed off to another customer. "Huh? What was that?" Icy asked. Rarity sighed calmly, "Knowing Pinkie. Her sixth sense alerted her that her customers need some help." "Her sixth sense?" Icy asked in surprise. Rainbow nodded, "Totally. Whenever she sensed something off with customer's food, she goes around and help them out. Right about now! Check on your new boyfriend, Twilight." Twilight groaned, "Flash and I aren't the couples, genius. Shadow Dragon still is mine. And it wasn't even funny. He and I are just lab partners and rehearsal actors. Besides, I don't even want to annoy and upset Sunset for taking him away from her." Rarity shrugged a bit, "Of course, darling. We're just teasing." "Haha…" Twilight remarked dryly and annoyingly. "Maybe I should check this out," Icy commented, surprising her friends. She shrugged, "Who knows? Maybe I can do that too." "Yeah, right. No one can do a trick like Pinkie's," Rainbow commented. Icy scoffed, "We'll see." Icy got up and went after Pinkie, who just approached to Flash Sentry at the last corner. He was eating his sandwich calmy. She approached to him. Icy was behind her as she was observing and learning on how to use the sixth sense to detect customer's food and help them out. "Big test?" Pinkie asked. "Yeah. How'd ya know?" Flash asked in surprise. "When you're stressed, you always order grilled cheese. Be right back!" Pinkie exclaimed with a gasp. For the moment later, she brought Twilight to Flash, surprising him. She explained, "Here! Twi can help you. She's basically a genius at everything. Especially math." Flash was embarrassed to see Twilight as the last thing he wants is trouble. He quickly waved in protest with friendly and calm tone, "Oh, no, it's... no big deal." He cleared his throat a bit, "Heh. I mean... only if you have time." "Well… I suppose I can help. We're just study partners. That's all," Twilight suggested nervously. Flash nodded in agreement, "Yeah. We're just friends. After all, we got our girl and boy to date with." "Definitely." Twilight agreed. After helping Twilight to sit down, Pinkie headed off at once. Icy immediately went after her at once. "So, uh... what're ya workin' on?" Twilight asked. "Here," Flash answered calmly as he placed his mathematic book on the table for her to show. Pinkie approached to Blueberry Cake with her yellow dress, who was busy eating her hamburger. She felt the poke. She turned and looked back as she found the waitress and Rarity stood before her. "Hi! I wanna introduce you to my friend Rarity." Pinkie happily introduced Rarity to Blueberry Cake. Seeing the customer's dress is stained with beef meet and sauce, Rarity gasped, "Oh my!" Blueberry asked in annoyance, "Uh, why?" Pinkie pointed at Blueberry Cake's dress. She explained, "That's why!" Pinkie moved aside and let Rarity to handle the situation. She headed off not. Icy followed her from behind at once. "Don't worry, darling. I can fix this! Do you have glitter on you?" Rarity asked calmly, making Blueberry Cake giving her thoughts about it. As Pinkie was skating and passing by some customers, Icy managed to catch up to her. "Oh! Hey, Icy! What can I get ya?" Pinkie asked. "Not much. Just wondering if you can teach me," Icy asked. Pinkie looked at her. She explained, "Your friends told me about your sixth sense. And I saw it with my own eyes. You managed to figure out the people's problem and solve it so easily. You're amazing." "Nah. It's just my hunch." "So, can you teach me? I wanna learn!" "Um… I don't know…" Pinkie said in uncertainty, "Having this kind of 'sixth sense' isn't easy as you think. Trust me. I've made plenty mistakes and lots of practice before I made this far." Icy groaned in disappoint, "I wanna learn." She then made a pouted eyes to Pinkie, "Please…" "Oh no! Not the pouty dog eyes! Why do kids have to use that against my weakness!" Pinkie asked in disbelief and annoyed. Icy continued begging her. She sighed, "Fine. I'll help out." "YES!" Icy cheered, "So, what am I supposed to do?" Pinkie sighed, "Okay. I need you to smell the scent. Tell me what you found out." Icy nodded as she sniffed out the smell, she reported, "I smell chlorine. And soup?" "Aw, candy corn!" Pinkie exclaimed in concern, "That means the Crystal Prep team lost the game! So, as punishment, they drink soup for their lost!" "Wow. That sounds bad…" Icy said in concern, "So, what's next?" "Follow my lead," Pinkie said warmly. She and Icy approached to the end of corner, where four Crystal Prep Athletes sitting gloomy and upset over their defeat. She asked, "Eating soup after the big loss at the swim meet today?" Crystal Prep #1 nodded, "Yeah. Losers don't deserve nachos." Icy couldn't help but sympathize he and his team. She spoke up, "That's not true! You guys really did your best. So, you've lost one game doesn't mean you should give up. You just have to keep on trying again and again until you win." "Really?" Crystal Prep Male #1 asked hopefully. "Yeah. Hold on for the moment!" Icy said firmly. She headed off to get something. She brought the nachos box to the table. She explained, "First, you totally deserve nachos for trying! And second..." After moment later, Icy brought Rainbow to the table again. She continued, "...this is Rainbow Dash! She's the captain of every single team at Canterlot High!" Crystal Prep Students awed and commented in surprise as they didn't expect a Canterlot High student would help them now. Pinkie nodded, "She's the best at turning today's loss into tomorrow's win!" Rainbow smirked confidently as she approached and talked with Crystal Prep Students, "Okay. Here's the game plan for next week." Pinkie and Icy walked away from their friends. They continued their discussion. "Not bad, rookie," Pinkie commented. Icy giggled nervously, "Really? I felt nervous about it, even though I'm not a psychic like you. You're amazing!" Pinkie scoffed in disbelief with waving it off. Her boss – Sunny Sugarsocks, from inside the counter, spoke up, "The kid's right. You're an amazing employee! You always know exactly what everyone needs." Pinkie was confused. Sunny Sugarsocks pointed at three customers that Pinkie and Icy have helped out. Rarity helped made and gave a new dress for Blueberry Cake to wear, who was dancing and spinning around happily. She even helped pour some glitter around her. After some serious studies and mentored by his friend, Flash wrote down the answer in chart graph for Twilight to check up. She nodded firmly and proudly that he's ready for the test. Crystal Prep Students were eating their nachos while listening to Rainbow, who was instructing and showing what can be done with swimming. "It's just a gut feeling, you know?" Pinkie remarked playfully. Suddenly, her stomach growled, making Pinkie snickered a bit. Icy giggled, "Pinkie, you're so random…" "True enough. But the best," Sunny Sugarsocks remarked happily as she brought exquisite and creative yet expensive ice-cream sundae on the table. She asked, "Hungry?" Pinkie, Icy and Sunny Sugarsocks happily enjoyed eating their ice-cream. They deserved the best break for helping the customers.

They cannot afford to make mistakes for the upcoming play. Seeing almost everyone including Cutie Mark Crusaders have dressed and readied with their props, Sunset sighed firmly while holding tight on her earphone as she gave the command. "Go! Go! And go!" Sunset signalled firmly. Everyone nodded firmly as they followed her command at once. Just as the disco music was played, Cutie Mark Crusaders moved to the stage at once. They firmly and passionately dancing while using their shovel and pick axes. Everyone including Shorty, Flash, Twilight, Pinkie, Micro Chips, Bulk Biceps and even Laxtinct, who was busy cleaning and mopping the floor. Just as she listened to the song while watched the scene carefully, Sunset tapped her pencil on her paper pad holder while looking at it, wanting to make sure that she's on schedule. "Ten seconds to set change. Stage crew ready?" Sunset asked firmly. Snips and Snails grunted in frustration while trying to handle and manage with ropes as they nodded a bit. She counted down, "In five, four, three... Pyro!" With signal being given, Scott Green used and activated the fog machine, covering up the whole stage, prompting Cutie Mark Crusaders moved to their right and leaving the scene. Sunset smiled happily that everything is in order. "And... bring in Shiny City!" Sunset ordered. Snips and Snails grunted as they struggled with pulling down the ropes, bringing out the Shiny City scenery. And at the same time; Nolan North, Golden Hazel, Sophisticata and Indigo Wreath are moving while dressed as mining worker carrying tools, wagon of crystal and train props. While the actors passionately moving out and headed straight to the end of stage, the Shiny City scenery seemed to be stuck in middle of movement. Everyone turned and looked at Snips and Snails, who still struggling and unable to bring the rope down. Unfortunately, they don't have the strengths before dropped on the floor hard. Everyone awed in disappointment with the effect. Shorty wasn't pleased of it as he got up from his seat to check on them. "Would someone tell me what's going on?!" Shorty demanded as he arrived at the stage. "Uh… I'll check on it," Sunset said firmly. She approached to Snips and Snails. She sternly remarked, "Guys, the effect is ruined if we don't get the set across the stage in time with the dancers." Snips groaned, "Ugh! But it's like moving a ton of bricks that's been built like... like a city!" Shorty sighed in annoyance, "And whose idea of asking two Grade-5 kid of handling this?" "Trixie's idea." Sunset answered. Shorty looked at her with his raised eyebrow. She gulped, "She said they're very efficient and hardworking." "But not very smart and strong," Shorty said seriously, annoying Snips and Snails. He said firmly, "You really need to come up with a better solution." Sunset nodded in understanding, "I know. I know, Shorty. There's gotta be a better way to move this thing." "Don't worry, Sunset. I've got an idea!" Twilight volunteered. Pinkie cheered and waved happily, "Ooh! Ooh! Pick me! Me, too! Pick me, pick me, pick me!" Laxtinct raised his hand, "I could give it a try!" Shorty hummed thoughtfully, "Your call, Sunset since this is your management." Sunset hummed thoughtfully as she wondered which one will handle with the effect. Who can she trust with? After serious consideration, Sunset chose Laxtinct to help and assist with the effect. She brought him to the backstage, where she and Shorty were discussing and talking with him about handling the set effect. "Alright, Lax, you're up for this?" Sunset asked firmly. Laxtinct shrugged a bit. She groaned, "Laxtinct, this is a serious work! You have to take this serious!" "I know! I know! I know! I'm just nervous!" Laxtinct exclaimed in concern and worried, "I'm never good at being pressure." Shorty sighed while facepalmed, "Well, you were never good at managing the pressure. Besides, you're the only guy with strength and big enough to handle with the set. At least, you're older than Snips and Snails." "HEY!" Snips and Snails snapped, feeling offended. Laxtinct groaned in concern, "Alright, I'll try." "Good. When I give the signal, you bring the Shiny City together with the cast members." Sunset said firmly and seriously, "Remember that. Got it?" Laxtinct nodded, "Got it." "Good. Don't let us down," Shorty said sternly. Everyone returned to their position and redo their rehearsal again. Laxtinct readied with pulling the rope down, waiting for the signal. "And… Bring in the Shiny City!" Sunset ordered. Laxtinct quickly pulled the rope down, which resulted moving the Shiny City scenery too fast and soon to the end. She groaned in annoyance, "Laxtinct, that was too soon! Together with the cast members!" Laxtinct hissed in concern, "Sorry!" Once again, everyone returned to their positions again. Just as Sunset gave the signal again, the cast members marched out at once, but without the Shiny City scenery. This shocked Sunset to looked at Laxtinct, who was waiting to make a move. "Laxtinct!" Sunset scolded firmly. Laxtinct yelped, "I was waiting for the cast members to move!" "They already move!" Sunset snapped in annoyance. This made Laxtinct embarrassed and nervous of what he did. She groaned while facepalmed, "This gonna take a while…" Throughout the rehearsal, the crew and cast members struggled of getting the right timing and right moment with Shiny City scenery moving together due to Laxtinct keep making same mistakes such as sleeping on the job, got the rope jammed with machine, damaging the props, chasing off Snips and Snails for insults, Pinkie bothered him and so on. The montage of Laxtinct's not getting right with moving the Shiny City scenery at the same time with the cast members. Shorty shouted, "Damn it, Laxtinct! Can't you get it right this time?! We're running out of time!" Sunset sighed, "He's right. Laxtinct, you need to do exactly what I said. Follow the cast members, okay?" Laxtinct groaned, "I don't know if I can do this." "You have to," Sunset said firmly, "Laxtinct, I wouldn't choose you if I didn't have faith in you." "Sunset." "You can do this. I know you can." Touched by Sunset's words, Laxtinct nodded firmly, "Got it." "One more time…" Sunset said firmly. Everyone returned to their positions again, despite how annoyed and frustrated with it. Just as she timed it, she shouted, "Now! Bring in the Shiny City!" As signaled, the cast members marched out while performing their dance movements. And at the same time, Laxtinct pulled down the rope, bringing and moving the Shiny City scenery prop, aligning with the casts till the end. With that, everyone cheered out happily that they finally got it right this time. Shorty sighed, "About bloody time!" Sunset jumped and hugged Laxtinct warmly, "Way to go, Laxtinct! I knew you had it in you!" Laxtinct chuckled a bit, "Well, I've had some help from my friends." END… Suggest and Review… Main Casts: Rebecca Shoichet: Sunset Shimmer Sam Riegel: Shorty Thinking P.J.

She planned and designed the set in her blueprints. She then singlehandedly measured the woods and materials she required before began working and constructing a living room set. Just as she looked through the blueprint, Sunset arrived and entered the construction set. “Oh, I'm so glad we picked you to be the set designer, Applejack.” Sunset commented. Applejack rolled her eyes, “I'm the only one who applied, so…” “And the plans look fantastic. Just one thing. One little, kinda huge, important thing.” Sunset said in concern and uncertainty. She looked around of her surroundings – the set was half-finished. She asked, “Is this gonna be built in time?” “Absolutely! Construction's the quick part.” Applejack said confidently while hammering down on the nails to the set, “Like I always say: ‘Measure twice, cut once. But only after you measure three more times.’” Sunset shouted, “Glad that's not my job! I'd be afraid I'd hammer my finger or something!” “What?” “I said I'd be afraid I'd hammer my finger or something!” “What?!” “I said-!” Got distracted to hear what Sunset was telling her, Applejack accidentally hammered on her hand, making her scream in pain. This shocked and alerted her to get Nurse Redheart to come, checking and treating her friend’s injury hand. For few minutes have passed, Nurse Redheart has treated and bandaged up Applejack’s hand. “You're going to be fine.” Nurse Redheart asked. Applejack sighed in relief. She continued, “Just stay away from lifting, hammering, cutting, anything set-building related.” “But the play's this Friday!” Applejack said in concern. Nurse Redheart packed her stuffs before leaving the scene. She looked at Sunset, “Don't worry, Sunset. I still got thi— Ow!” “How about we get you an assistant set designer?” Sunset suggested. “I guess I could use a hand.” Applejack agreed while thinking of three individuals – Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie and Saber Dragoon. She hummed, “Who can help me out with this?” - After some serious consideration, Applejack chose Saber Dragoon to help her out since he’s her childhood friend and also good at construction and farming as her. Both of them are at the table, where she placed the blueprint for him to look through. “Thanks for coming by, Saber. I don’t know what would I do without ya,” Applejack said in relief. Saber smiled, “Well, we’re friends. We’re supposed to help each other out.” “Yeah. Of course.” Applejack said warmly. She then shown the blueprint to Saber. She asked, “So, what do you think of my idea? Think you can handle it?” Saber hummed thoughtfully while looking at the blueprint, “Hmm… That’s something. This sure got lots of work to do. This could take some time.” Applejack smiled confidently, “With you and me teaming up, I’m sure we can get the things done in time.” “Uh no, AJ. You’re not gonna do anything. You’re staying put!” “B-But you can’t do it alone! Like you said, it’s a lot of work for you to handle.” “Which is why I call my cousins to help me out.” Saber smiled warmly. As if signaled, his cousins have arrived and entered the gym while bringing their tools and materials. He asked, “Think we can get it done by Friday?” Applejack smiled, “Definitely. Let’s get the work done!” Acted as the instructor, both Saber and Applejack instructed and explained the plan to Saber’s cousins on how to construct the set. Rogue, Twinkle Star, Terrastrike, Heavy and Jasmine Jade began working and constructing on the set now. Discussing with Applejack, she and Twinkle Star were checking on which materials to use while measuring its length and heights before marked on it. This allowed Rogue to cut down and prepare the materials like woods, pipes, manila paper, and more props. Jasmine Jade loaded up and passed them to Saber, Terrastrike and Heavy. They now began working and constructing the set seriously and firmly. While firmly and seriously working on the set, Heavy held the wooden plank up for Terrastrike to hammer the nail against it. Unfortunately, he accidentally hammered on his thumb. He screamed in pain while sucking on it. Heavy then snickered at him. This caused and annoyed him to hammer on his foot. The young Preteen yelled in pain while holding his foot, hopping around madly and crazily. Terrastrike laughed at Heavy, who got annoyed and irritated. He jumped and attacked him wildly and madly. Their fight has caused some serious damages to others and ruined some part of the works, and almost injured Applejack if not for Twinkle Star saved her in time. Terrastrike and Heavy continued punching and kicking at each other while shouting angrily and annoyingly as well. Saber cleared his throat while glaring at them. They stopped at once while looking at him. “If you don’t get your act together now…” Saber said sternly before screamed angrily, “I’m gonna make sure you guys clean the horses’ pops for days!” Terrastrike and Heavy screamed and panicked in fear, “No, sir! Sorry, sir! We’re good!” Terrastrike and Heavy panicked fearfully and frantically as they returned to their works and repaired the damages they have done to the set. “Works like the charm,” Saber commented playfully. Rogue groaned, “Always hate when he does that.” Twinkle Star nodded, “True. But he always figured out on how to get everyone work together as one. So, we’d better get back to work.” “Yeah. Hopefully, Terra and Heavy don’t cause too much of damages,” Jasmine Jade said firmly. Saber and his cousins resumed working and building the set as soon as possible. Applejack and Twinkle Star helped instructed and pointed out the weak points that they need to work on. After three hours have passed, Saber and his cousins have completed and fixed the set. The set is now filled with colorful crystallized background with city blocks, on both sides with purple-red colored background with musical notes, party balloons and large chunk of crystals, and on the ground has the crystallized dancing floor pad. Applejack awed in amazement and surprise of what she was looking at. “T-This is amazing! This is exactly what I imagined!” Applejack exclaimed happily. She then hugged surprised Saber, “Thank you, Saber! You’re the best!” Saber chuckled a bit, “Yeah. You’re welcome. I do my best.” “Ooh!” Everyone awed amusingly while snickered a bit. Saber groaned, “Shut up, guys! Or else, I’ll make you guys clean toilet!” “As if!” Everyone shouted angrily and annoyingly, “Saber got crush! Saber got crush! Saber got crush!” Everyone then laughed it out loud while chanting for Saber got crush on Applejack. Both of them blushed in red while looking away, though they might have harbor some feelings for each other.

The students and their parents including Dragon Strike Force have been gathered at the school gym, where the stage play is about to start. All of them were chattering and muttering about the event while some talked about other things. Suddenly, the curtains have been raised with the spotlights lighted on the stage. The crowd went silence. The play revealed the old home set-like with Rarity as Selfie Soot wearing a blackish gown-like with apron while Flash and Twilight played as her parents wearing old miner suits with wrinkle marks. Rarity, with her American accent, spoke out, "Ma, Pa, I have got to leave this humdrum, do-nothin', lump-of-coal town. I'm goin' to be the best disco dancer that Club Amethyst has ever seen!" "Bury those silly dreams in a slag heap, Selfie. Only fools try to make it big in Shiny City." Twilight, using her old lady's voice, shouted while swinging her old pot out that almost hit Flash, who dodged down. She yelped, "Sorry." Flash hissed, "No worries. Just glad I didn't lose my head." Rarity as Selfie Soot looked upset and sad as she entered the new set of coal mine alone. "How will I ever become a disco dancer when all I know is coal, coal," Rarity cried dramatically with fake tears, "coal?!" As signaled, Rainbow Dash, as the Fairy Bootmother dressed in blue robe with witch's hat has the large old boot-like around her, has been lowered down by the large crane-like with rope. She was above before Rarity. Using her stiltedly voice, Rainbow grumbled, "Your canary tears have summoned me, my child. It is I, your Fairy Bootmother." The crowd made 'ooh' interesting tone. And at the same time, some of Dragon Strike Force stifled their laughter at her in her Fairy Bootmother dress. Annoyed by her friend's laughter, Rainbow continued her role with stiltedly voice while waving her wand prop, "Do not despair, for all coal turns to diamonds." As signaled, Sunset quickly moved the coal aside and replaced it with crystallized boots-like with sprinkles. Rarity gasped happily. While grabbing and holding it up, she cheered happily about it. The crowd gave the cheers and applause about it. The play continued for nearly an hour as the ending is closing in. Rarity and the rest of cast members were performing dancing while walking across the stage, along with moving Shiny City by Twilight's robot. Fluttershy looked very nervous and uneasy about her ending while reading her script. Applejack approached and checked on her. "How's Coal Miner #2 doin'?" Applejack asked. Fluttershy gulped, "Thinking of calling in sick?" "Don't be nervous. It's only one line. All you have to do is ring that bell and say, 'The mine is closed.'" Fluttershy gulped as she answered softly, "The mine is closed." "Yeah, that, but… maybe a little louder?" Applejack suggested. Suddenly, the crowd gave the applause for the play. She smiled as she took the script while pushing Fluttershy to the stage. She cheered, "Ha! Go get 'em!" All the casts including her friends have been gathered at the stage. Flutteshy approached to the bell stand. The stage went into dark before the spotlight appeared and shinned on her. She was nervous and worried. While giving deep breathe, she mustered her courage as she prepared to ring the bell. While Applejack watching the event, Snips and Snails were busy pushing and moving each other. They unintentionally knocked on the nearby tied-up rope at the wall. It released and dropped the bell from its stand to the ground hard. The crowd gasped in shock and concern of what they saw. Her friends also felt the same as well. "Fluttershy needs our help!" Applejack exclaimed in concern. Fluttershy whimpered in fear while standing before the crowd. What can she do now?! Who will help her now? Is it Applejack, Twilight or perhaps Terrorcreep? Refused to see his girlfriend get humiliated in front of the public, Terrorcreep transformed into his bat form at once. He flew off at once, flying straight to the stage. And at the same time, he has to hide behind the cast members and sets. The last thing he wants is caused some panic among them and the crowd. Reaching his target, Terrorcreep's Bat Form dived straight towards the bell. He grunted in pain as he struggled of picking the bell up due to how heavy it really is. But her has to try or else she would be embarrassed. "The things I do for love…" Terrorcreep muttered in annoyance. With all of his might and strength, Bat Terrorcreep managed to lift the bell up. He then lifted all the way to above Fluttershy's head. Terrorcreep made 'psst' noise, getting Fluttershy's attention. She was too nervous and distracted while trapped in her stage fright. This annoyed him made a screech sound, shocking and surprising. "T-Terrorcreep?" Fluttershy asked in surprise. "Ring the bell!" Terrorcreep answered firmly. He grunted in pain, "C-Can't hold on the bell for long!" Fluttershy gasped in realization. She cleared her throat while ringing the bell, "The mine is closed!" The crowd went wild as they cheered and applauded to Fluttershy for giving the sendoff for ending the play. Terrorcreep sighed, "About time!" To his shock and surprise yet exhaustion, Bat Terrorcreep's wings has stopped. He yelped in concern before screamed in fear before dropped on the floor, along with the bell. And at the same time, he transformed into his humanoid form. Everyone looked confused and surprised of what they just saw. Terrorcreep groaned, "That hurts…" Fluttershy smiled as she gave him a kiss, "Thank you, Terrorcreep. Terrorcreep sighed, "What a relief…" END… Review and Suggest… Main Casts: Andrea Libman: Fluttershy Matthew Mercer: Terrorcreep Minor Casts: Tabitha St. Germain: Rarity Tara Strong: Twilight Sparkle Vincent Tong: Flash Sentry Ashleigh Ball: Rainbow Dash, Applejack > S3E20: Happily Ever After (Blazefist's Ending) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- After one hour and half of Fall Play, the crowd went wild while giving their cheers and applause to the students for their stupendous act and story. They even throw some bouquet of flowers to them as well. While most of the students enjoyed the reception, Cutie Mark Crusaders didn't seem to be happy. Something bothered them. As the curtain closed down, everyone gathered at the backstage. The Dragon Strike Force met up with Mane Seven for discussion and chatting about the play. "Well done, everyone," Blazefist commented, "You guys outdid yourself with the play. Better than my younger days." Applejack smiled, "Hoo-wee! What's the lowdown on the after-party hoedown? I'm ready to throw down!" Rainbow nodded, "Is it gonna be the best night ever or what?!" Cutie Mark Crusaders sighed as they answered in upset tone simultaneously, "[Apple Bloom] Supposed so. [Sweetie Belle] Perhaps. [Scootaloo and Jade] Eh. [Nyx] Maybe…" Blazefist, Applejack, Rarity and Rainbow noticed something off with the Cutie Mark Crusaders. "Whatever is the matter, girls?" Rarity asked, "I thought you were excited for the soirée." "We were." Sweetie Belle admitted, "We even put together a super special slide show of all the great memories we made while doing the play." Scootaloo sighed in frustration, "But Mr. Cranky Doodle says parties are not an 'appropriate appropriation of his expensive projector'." Rainbow hummed thoughtfully, "Maybe one of us can turn that heart of coal into a diamond!" Everyone sighed in annoyance. Blazefist remarked, "Figures that you would come up with this." Cutie Mark Crusaders gave some thoughts of whom can help them to convince Mr. Cranky Doodle to give them the projector. But who? After careful consideration, Cutie Mark Crusaders chose Blazefist to help them with convincing Mr. Cranky Doodle about the projector. They were now on their way to Mr. Crank Doodle's office now. "Thanks for the help, Mr. Blazefist," Jade thanked warmly. Nyx nodded, "Yeah. I thought you're gonna say 'no' to us." "I was," Blazefist admitted firmly and seriously, shocking Cutie Mark Crusaders. He continued, "But seeing how honest and passion you guys are, I believe that you guys deserve it." "Aw… You're the best, Mr. Blazefist!" Apple Bloom remarked happily. "Leave the talking to me," Blazefist said firmly and calmly, "I'm sure Mr. Cranky Doodle can be reasonable of letting us to use it." Blazefist and the Cutie Mark Crusaders arrived at the classroom, where Mr. Cranky Doodle was working and marking the exams. He knocked the door, which Mr. Cranky Doodle asked them to come in. And they did. "Mr. Blazefist?" Mr. Cranky Doodle asked in surprise, "W-What can I do for you?" Blazefist took the seat before his colleague. He spoke, "Sorry for bothering you, Mr. Cranky. Hope you have time for our discussion." "O-Of course! I've got plenty time. What do you need?" "Would you mind me lend us the projector? We would like to use it." Cranky Doodle was surprised by Blazefist's request until he looked at the Cutie Mark Crusaders. He sighed, "They asked you, didn't they?" "Yup. So, do we have the agreement?" Blazefist asked calmly. Cranky Doodle shook his head, "Sorry, sir. Afraid I can't do that. "Why is that?" "I can't let the children use it for some slideshows. They might damage it. Badly." "Are you saying that I will damage it?" "Wait! You mean you're using it? For them?" "Yes, indeed, I do. After all, I've used the projector for countless times. Surely, you can trust me on that, don't ya?" "Well, of course, what about those kids? Surely, you can't just let them go near and use it?" "Come on, Mr. Cranky. I doubt that they would do that, unless they're up to now good," Blazefist said playfully and sternly at Cutie Mark Crusaders. They all shook their heads firmly. He smiled, "See? They won't dare to do anything from my back." Mr. Cranky Doodle was having doubts a bit before sighed, "Fine. I'll let you use. But I'll be back to check on it. Making sure it's not damaged." Blazefist nodded as he shook Mr. Cranky Doodle's hand, "It's a deal!" Cutie Mark Crusaders cheered out loud and happily about the news. They owed Mr. Blazefist a lot for helping them. At the musical room, the students and cast members have gathered for chatting, partying, singing and dancing wildly and happily for their Fall Play Success. Cutie Mark Crusaders were on the stairs, chatting with each other happily. Blazefist has already set up with the projector to show some slideshows involving students' acting, rehearsal, working and designing the sets, dresses and many more. Everyone enjoyed watching the show. They all chattered about it. "Enjoying the show?" Blazefist asked calmly "Yup, Blazefist! We do!" Apple Bloom said happily. Nyx nodded, "Yeah. Everyone's enjoying the slideshow. It's the best!" "We owe you, Mr. Blazefist," Sweetie Belle thanked. Blazefist smiled, "You're welcome. After all, you guys deserve it for all the hard works you've made for the Fall Play." "Still, you think Mr. Cranky Doodle would come and check?" Scootaloo asked curiously. As if her question has been answered, Mr. Cranky Doodle arrived and entered the musical room. She groaned, "Never mind." Approaching to Blazefist, Mr. Cranky Doodle asked, "Well?" "As promised, no damages to the projector. As promised," Blazefist said firmly while patted on the projector, "Working it fine." Mr. Cranky Doodle sighed, "Fine. Since I'm done with my work and now here, I might as well start partying!" Mr. Cranky Doodle approached to the dancing floor as he began dancing wildly yet slowly. Everyone clapped their hands for him. "Wow. He's enjoying it," Jade commented. Sweetie Belle smiled. "Sure is." Blazefist smiled, "Like I said. Everyone deserves a break for their hard works."

At the Production Studio Building, a very-light-yellowed-colored female in her early 30's with grayish crimson-to-light magentaish gray hair with light gray streaks worn a headband with flower white sleeveless shirt with purplish stripe, blue short jean, a sleeveless trench coat and brownish colored high heel boots, was performing her selfie shooting on herself while commenting happily. Her name is Vignette Valencia. "Experience the world like you've never seen it before, at the one, the only, Equestria Land!" Vignette exclaimed happily while looking at the production building's garage opened up. Just as the orange-colored parade ride with purple curtains has four people dressed in grayish jumpsuit with four different shapes emerged out, this shocked and annoyed her of what she just saw. "Stop! Cut! Cut!" Vignette ordered angrily. She turned and glared at her designer with grayish-purple colored bun-like with red streaks as she demanded, "Why is everyone dressed like they're not dressed?!" Designer with Russian Accent answered dryly, "Because you keep changing your mind about the costumes, Vignette Valencia." "Do you know what it means to be in charge of public relations for this park?" Vignette asked in annoyance while holding her phone. She continued, "It's my job to make sure the world knows how amazing Equestria Land is gonna be. And in two weeks, when there's fifty thousand people here for opening day, the last thing they'll see before they leave at night will be this light parade." She then looked at her staff workers' costumes, "And, by extension, your costumes, which apparently do not exist as of this moment! B.Y.B.B. Be yourself, but better. Do you even have a philosophy?" Russian Designer scoffed while counting down her fingers, "G.W.I.Q. Guess vhat. I qvit." The Designer turned and walked away from Vignette. The Public Relation Officer was annoyed and irritated with her. Suddenly, she got the call from her phone. By looking at the screen, she yelped in fear and concern before answered it. "H-Hello?" Vignette asked in fear. "VIGNETTE VALENCIA! YOU IDIOT!" The grumpy voice shouted angrily and annoyingly, "I just received the report that my best designer quit! You wanna bloody explain about this?!" "Sir, I can explain. The designer you hired turned out to be very poor and useless. She gave us the worst costumes!" "No! You gave the worst order and communication of how costumes worked! You didn't bloody give her time to finish! Again! I swear to my Mama Penguin's heart that you really cause more problems than help! Why I hire you for?! I'd never understand! You're nothing but a problem!" "Please, sir! I can fix this! I'll make sure that we get the job done in time!" "You'd better be, Valencia! If I don't get more customers for my new theme park, my temper and firing you would be the least of your concern! My superior would be coming after you!" "No, Mr. Copplebolt! I won't let it happened!" "Then, what are you waiting for?! Get a new designer now, you useless whore!" As soon as the phone's contact silenced, Vignette shown her annoyed and angry looks before screamed in frustration, "I need a stress salad!" The staff worker panicked as one of them went off to get it. Vignette approached to the table with umbrella, where she took a seat. Her worker arrived and brought the 'stress salad' before her. He even put some pepper on it before leaving her. "Where am I gonna find a new costume designer for the light parade with only two weeks left?" Vignette asked in frustration. She sighed in frustration as she ate her stress salad, "If only I could put a filter on real life to make everything the way I want it." Unbeknownst to her, a purple-colored swirling magic flow and arrived behind her back. It descended and touched her phone, which turned its cover from the happy smiley with crimson colored shirt-like with white polka-dots into angry and annoyed looks with sharped triangle style and polka-dots-like triangle shaped. Looking at her phone, Vignette smiled, "Only way to feel better is getting ten thousand likes with the perfect salad pic." Just as she picked her phone up, Vignette aimed her phone's camera-like at her stress salad. When she took the picture on it, it magically digitized and disappeared from sights. She looked surprised and shocked of what she saw. She noticed something off with it. While sliding her salad picture with others such mash potatoes and fruit salad-like, she was surprised and confused about it. "Hey, did somebody install a new app on my phone?" Vignette asked in serious tone. While pressing the button on her phone, its camera beamed the lights out as it magically created the fruit-like salad before her. Vignette was astonished and surprised. She then touched the bowl, which gave electrical buzz noise. Vignette smiled, "Oh. 'Cause I like it!" Unknown to her, the security camera has been recording the event. Inside the dark room, 'Cobblepolt' hummed amusingly while looking at the security footage that has just recorded Vignette's discovery of magical phone. He dialed on his phone, calling his 'superior' about his finding. "Boss Machine Dragoon, I've got something that you might like," Cobblepolt commented calmly and amusingly. He made squawky chuckle noise, "The Magic is in our turf now. This time, our Equestria Land is gonna be busy very soon! You'll get some fresh meat." "Excellent…" Machine Dragoon's voice answered in pleasant tone. Inside the Canterlot Mall, Applejack and Rarity were sitting down on table set at the crowded cafeteria. They both seemed to be nervous and worried while looking at their phones like they were hoping something happen. "Anything?" Rarity asked in concern. Applejack shook her head, "Nothin'. You?" Rarity sighed, "Nuh-uh." Suddenly; Shorty, Saber and Tailtech were walking and passing by the cafeteria. They noticed Rarity and Applejack were sitting there while looking at the phones. They all approached and checked on two girls, wondering why they were upset and nervous about. "Somebody has unspilled beans at this table," Saber asked curiously, "So, what is it?" Applejack sighed calmly, "Rarity and I applied for summer jobs at the new theme park." Hearing the word has shocked him, Shorty asked in disbelief and worried, "Equstria Land? You both really want to work there?" Applejack nodded happily, "Yup. We applied to work side-by-side as caramel apple girls." "Wow! This is unexpected!" Tailtech exclaimed in amazement. He then found Shorty was annoyed by it. He cleared his throat, "I mean it's cool and okay." "Yes. It's not that I'm nervous, but…" Rarity nervously and uneasily. She then looked at her friend, "Applejack, you're perfect for the job. And, well, my résumé is less apple-centric." Applejack chuckled a bit, "We'll be together. I got a good feelin'." Looking at her cellphone, Rarity huffed in disappointment, "No missed calls while we were talking about caramel apples." She hummed thoughtfully, "Shall we practice answering our phones and sounding calm?" "I rather you guys not." Shorty said firmly and sternly, shocked his friends. "Huh?" Everyone sans Tailtech looked confused to ask. "Dude. What's your deal? Got problem with Equestria Land?" Saber asked firmly. Shorty huffed while looking away, "You don't want to know. And hopefully, the theme park won't be bothered about replying to the girls." Suddenly, both cellphones rang out loud, making the girls screamed in alert. He groaned, "I stand corrected." "Is that what I think it is?" Tailtech asked curiously. Rarity nodded, "One new e-mail!" "It's from the park!" Applejack added. Rarity and Applejack exclaimed in unison to each other, "You open yours first! No, you open yours first!" "How about you girls open it together?" Saber suggested. Both Applejack and Rarity nodded happily. He counted down, "Same time. One, two, and three!" Signaled, Rarity and Applejack opened their email while reading theirs calmly and silently. They both looked surprised and happy of what they just read. "Oh. They said I'm overqualified for caramel apple girl." Rarity said in disappointment. Shorty smiled in relief while the rest looked worry and feel sorry for her. As she continued reading, she gasped in surprise, "They want me to be lead parade costume designer!" "WHAT?!" Everyone asked in disbelief and surprise. "You haven't even started, and you already got promoted!" Tailtech exclaimed in surprise, "Quoting Rainbow – 'That's gotta be a record'." Reading her email carefully, Applejack sighed in relief, "I not only got the job, but also the manager of managing and handling the sales for caramel apples! This is amazing!" Saber patted Applejack's back, "Way to go, AJ. Looks like you finally got the job." Shorty rolled his eyes in annoyance, "You couldn't get a job from somewhere else than Equestria Land?" "Shorty, why do you have against with Equestria Land? It's just a theme park," Rarity asked in concern. Shorty huffed, "Let's just say that place is nothing but trouble. Someone else in there ruin my life. I'd never forgive her. Trust me. You do not want to go and work there." "Honestly, Shorty. I don't understand why you couldn't tell us your problem," Rarity said firmly and calmly, "Applejack and I are going to the Equestria Land for the job we applied for. Costume Designer and Caramel Apple Manager, here we come!" Applejack nodded, "Yeah. We can't let this opportunity pass." Saber smiled, "Then, go for it. All of us will be supporting you all." "Yeah! Good luck with your new job!" Tailtech said happily. "Thanks, everyone," Applejack said happily. Rarity turned and looked at annoyed Shorty before sighed, "Look, Shorty, I'm not gonna berate and scold you for not giving me the reason. But the least you could do as my boyfriend is to wish me luck." Shorty sighed in defeat before giving a peck on her cheek, "Good luck with your new job. Just be careful of whom you trust at Equestria Land. The employers and employees especially the PR are opportunistic and cunning because they'll do whatever it takes to get what they want." Concerned with Shorty's warning, Rarity sighed a bit, "Alright, I will. But I expect you to tell me your true reason about your grudge against Equestria Land." "Maybe… Another time…" Shorty said firmly and calmly, "See ya. I need to deal with my work." Shorty turned and walked away, heading back to his laboratory for his work. Rarity and Applejack looked at Saber and Tailtech. The detective shrugged while mutant kid sighed while shaking her head. While walking towards the entrance, Shorty gave his deep thoughts, "I wish I could tell you the truth, Rarity. But knowing you and anyone else, you won't believe me. Vignette Valencia stole and used my concept idea for her personal gain. I'd never forget that." On the next day, both Rarity and Applejack, bringing their résumé with them, arrived at the Equestria Land. Passing through the ticket entrance, they met up with Vignette Valencia. Equesrtai Land Workers were sweeping and cleaning the place, making sure they're ready for the customers' arrival to enjoy and have fun with it. "My name is Vignette Valencia," Vignette introduced herself while leading new employees to the production studio, "and to answer your first question, yes, I'm that "Vignette", but no, I do not think I'm better than you just because I have three million followers on Snapgab." "Say what?" Applejack asked in confusion. Rarity huffed softly yet surprised, "You're up to three million now? I mean, yes, uh, yes, I-I am familiar with your online repertoire." She turned and looked at the confused Applejack. She said calmly, "Don't worry, darling, I'll explain it later. In fact, I can teach you how to use 'Snapgab'. It might come in handy for your farm." Applejack shrugged a bit, "If you say so, Rarity." Vignette smiled at Rarity, "I have a good feeling about you, Rare and AJ. Oh, you have to let me call you 'Rare'. It's the perfect name for lead parade costume designer and caramel apple manager. Not a…" She then read the file while looking at Applejack, "Um, caramel apple girl. That fits for AJ. You are good at this as manager, right?" Applejack smiled and nodded proudly, "Yup. I've done plenty work from the apple farm. And you can tell that my name is in it. Managing and handling the business is like working at the farm." Vignette giggled a bit, "Something like that. But Good for you, AJ." She turned to Rarity, {I don't even know why you applied for a job like that. Not with a Snapgab feed like yours."" Embarrassed, Applejack looked away to hide her face. Rarity cleared her throat a bit, "Well, we both were close friends since fresh school. We thought we could work together for this job, but we didn't expect about these jobs. We're beyond for it." Applejack nodded, "Yeah. Thought we can get these jobs after our graduation from college or university." "I see…" Vignette nodded understandingly. Approaching to the table, she continued, "Obviously, I looked you up. Great pictures, by the way. That gingham and linen sundress caught my eye, and your follower count is [faux French pronunciation] im-press-ive. For someone just starting out, of course. But I can already tell you've got magique inside." "Oof. Magi— You can?" Rarity asked in surprise. Vignette nodded happily, "The light parade is the most important event in the park. Over a hundred cast members, and you are gonna make them look perfect." Rarity sighed nervously. Applejack smiled as she patted on her back, "Don't you worry, Vignette! Rarity will get it done perfectly! There's no one else can do a better job for your light parade. It will be the best one you ever had." "Thank you, AJ," Vignette said in relief. She turned and looked at Applejack, "You know, I was thinking about using cool nerd chic for caramel apple girl but my boss said it's the worst idea because they don't mix. What do you think?" Applejack hummed in concern, "Well, I don't mean to be very blunt and rude, but he's kinda right. It doesn't fit for 'caramel apple girl', and of course, he or she might not have good understanding about apples. No one knows them but me." "Really? You do?" "Well, yes. I work for the Apple Farm, and we specialized the apple cider too." "Ooh! I like those drinks. They're my favorite! No wonder my boss insisted to have a farm girl for this job," Vignette commented playfully and happily. She cleared her throat, "I suppose I could leave that job to you. Think you can handle it as the manager?" Applejack smiled, "Not a problem. It's kinda like working on apple farm." "That's good to hear. I'd better go and see Mr. Copplebolt for another work," Vignette said calmly. She turned and looked at the table that has warning poles, "Oh. And before I forget, don't put anything on that table. Especially your phone. No reason. Just a super-important rule I made up, 'kay?" "Okay, I supposed…" Applejack said uneasily yet confusing. Rarity cleared her throat, "No worries. We'll handle it." "Good. See ya," Vignette said happily before heading off now. And at the same time, Rarity and Applejack looked at each other as they smiled warmly and happily, wishing each other luck for their new job. Two weeks have passed, inside the secret laboratory; Shorty, his sisters and Tailtech were finalizing with rebuilding and cleaning up nine of the Armored Guardians, making sure they're cleaned and functional for the possible upcoming battle against either Decepticons or giant monsters. They all sighed in relief for finishing up their works. They're sitting down on their seats. Ciel sighed in relief, "Looks like we finally did it." Asami nodded in agreement, "Yeah. It's a big success. We have finally rebuilt and restore the Armored Guardians. They're ready for the next big fight." "Yup. Took for almost half a month to complete it but we did it," Shorty said warmly and happily, "Thanks." Asami and Ciel smiled happily and warmly, "Your welcome." Suddenly, the lift noise sounded. Shorty, his sisters and assistant turned and looked at the lift, where they found Saber and Ace, on his shoulder, arrived at the scene, though they seemed to be wet. They both looked unamused and annoyed. Tailtech chuckled uneasily, "I supposed you walked into a trap again?" "Yeah, I did," Saber complained annoyingly while twisting and drying his trench coat, "Why do you even have that kind of trap? A large water tank with crocodile in it? Really?" Shorty shrugged, "What? You're expecting some killer robots and mines? Please, Saber. That's too lethal. Plus, that crocodile is tamed and trained by Pinkie and Laxtinct. He only bites their pants and dresses." Saber scoffed while properly put his trench coat down, "Yeah. He really did bite a hole on my pants. How embarrassing." "My bad." Shorty apologized before turned and looked at Saber, "Let me guess. More nachos and tacos again?" Saber smirked, "You know me. Lunch for everyone." Shorty sighed in annoyance about it. He and his scientific team joined with Saber and Ace to have their nacho and taco lunch, though DSF Scientist doesn't enjoy it much. While still munching his tacos, Saber looked at Shorty, "You want to tell me what's really going on? About Equestria Land…" Shorty looked at him. He gave his stern look at his friend, "Don't even think about saying 'I don't what you're talking about'. I'll find someone else to tell me." Shorty sighed in annoyance, "It's not the Equestria Land that I hated. It's someone else." "Who?" "Vignette Valencia." "The famous blogger and PR for Snapgab? You hated her? Why? Why has she ever done to you?" Shorty turned and glared at Saber as he answered dryly, "Because she stole my idea and take credits for using selfie on herself, making different pose and make many memes, and even posting on Snapgab. She became famous because I helped her." Saber was stunned and shocked of it. He looked at scientific team, who nodded firmly that they confirmed he was telling the truth. "I'm surprised that you didn't get the lawyer to deal with this case," Saber said in disbelief. "He did," Asami said firmly before sighed while clenched her fists, "Unfortunately, the court rebuffed and disputed the case because they were 'convinced' by Vignette's agents and lawyer that everything was her work." Ciel scoffed angrily, "You mean 'bribed' and 'blackmailed'! The nerve of her tried to get out of the mess!" Shorty shook his head angrily and firmly, "Either way, she got away with it. I would never ever step into any place that involved her including Equestria Land." "That explains why you're worried and upset that Rarity took that job. You're worried that she might fall for her lies," Saber said in realization. Shorty nodded in confirmation. He sighed, "Shorty, she got Applejack with her. She won't let anything bad happen to her." Shorty sighed, "I hope you're right, Saber. Vignette maybe vain and very demanding, but she's quite cunning and manipulative to deceive her enemies to turn the tide for her favors. I'm worried that Rarity will take her side more than AJ's. She will turn her deaf ears on her or even us." Saber patted Shorty, "She won't, Shorty. She won't do that to her own friends when something bad is going on." Suddenly, the phone was ringing, alerting everyone. Tailtech picked up and answer the phone. He answered calmly and firmly before turned and looked at Shorty. The young mutant fox nodded firmly, making him sighed. He took the phone from her. "Hello?" Shorty greeted calmly. Rarity's voice answered happily, "Darling! How's work on the lab?" "Been busy. I've managed to complete rebuilding and restoring Armored Guardians. They're ready." "Oh my! The Slingshot Archer is fixed? That's good to hear! I'm so happy for you." "And I'm happy for you and your new job, too." "Thank you, Shorty," Rarity's voice answered calmly before sighed, "Well, I-I was calling, because, you see, well, it's not that I'm…" "Rarity? What's wrong? Did something bad happened there?" Shorty asked in concern. "Oh no! Nothing bad! Honest!" Rarity panicked before cleared her throat, "I'm just nervous or anything silly like that, but I-I-I was wondering if… If you and our friends wanted to come on opening night to see the parade. V.I.P. passes! You can cut the lines!" Shorty looked shock and concern, "I-I don't know." In respond, Saber and Tailtech approached to him as they gave him a big whack on his head. He yelped in pain while glaring at them. They glared at him sternly for being dumb and doubts from accepting Rarity's invitation. "Shorty, I'm asking you to come to Equestria Land because I need you," Rarity's voice said in concern, "Please, do come, Shorty. You're my boyfriend. I won't let anyone bully or hurt you. I can assure you for that." After hearing her pleads, Shorty sighed in frustration, "Fine. I'll come." Rarity sighed happily, "Thank you, Shorty. I knew you can be reasonable." "Somehow I doubt of this," Shorty grumbled, making Saber and Tailtech whacked on his head. He groaned, "Would you cut that out?!" Saber huffed angrily, "Maybe I will if you stop being a jerk about letting Vignette get to you." Tailtech nodded, "He does have the point. It's not a good health." Shorty groaned, "As if…" On the next day, Equestria Land theme park is open now for the customers, parents and children to come in and enjoyed the entertainment such as riding the rollercoaster, using the Ferris Wheel, entering the haunted house and so on. Everyone enjoyed and have had fun with theme park. Saber, Shorty, Tailtech and the rest of their friends – five of Mane Seven and Dragon Strike Force have arrived and entered theme park via using VIP passes to get inside. Almost everyone was excited for the new theme park, though Shorty wasn't. "Equestria Land opening day!" Pinkie cheered happily, "What should we do first? Appleloosa Wild West Stunt Show? Nightmare Moon's Haunted Castle? Sugarcube Everything?!" "Pinkie, we're not here for fun." Shorty said sternly and firmly, alerting Pinkie off. He sighed, "We're here to help and support her. I can't imagine the pressure she's taking. No doubt that she's giving her a very hard time to handle. We have to make sure she's alright." Though a bit annoyed and disliked their first try on Equestria Land get ruined and spoiled by Shorty, they do agree with him to be supportive and be there for her. Saber sighed in annoyance, "Shorty, just relax. We'll be there to support her and AJ. Besides, it wouldn't hurt of having fun here." Blazefist nodded, "Saber's right. We're not on the mission. We just come here to relax and try this new theme park." He turned and looked around, finding Indigo was chatting with Thunderlane. He groaned while crossed his arms, "And also making sure that no one's making a move on her." "Dude, relax. It's not like she's asking for a date," Laxtinct said calmly. Blazefist was annoyed as he turned his younger brother to turn and look at Thunderlane and Indigo held each other's hands while blushed in red. He groaned, "On second thought, I'm gonna kill him now!" Aqua held and pulled both Blazefist and Laxtinct back while cleared her throat, "Just let her have the fun. And don't spoil it. She's a teenager, not kid." Blazefist and Laxtinct groaned, "Fine…" "Don't worry, Shorty. We'll be there for her," Twilight said calmly to Shorty. "Don't forget Applejack too," Saber added firmly. Shorty smiled gently, "Thanks, everyone." Suddenly, couple of girls cheered out happily and wildly as they're heading straight to Vignette, who smiled and waved happily to them. She agreed to take photos and selfies with her fans and the girls happily and warmly. "Vignette Valencia…" Shorty snarled a bit. Saber looked at Vignetter, "And that must be her." "Yup! It's her!" Pinkie cheered happily, "That's Vignette Valencia! She's famous on Snapgab, which you'd know if you actually logged in once in a while. You're missing my 'One Cupcake Every Day' series." "She posts a lot of pictures of her Welsh corgi named Yas Queen." Fluttershy added. Rainbow nodded, "And she's friends with, like, every awesome athlete in the world!" Shadow Dragon looked at Twilight. She answered, "Don't look at me. I only follow bots that post interesting science facts." "Right…" Shadow Dragon answered in unamused tone, "And watching romantic post doesn't count." Twilight snarled at Shadow Dragon, "Privacy, genius! Not in front of everyone!" "That is a fake," Shorty said dryly, shocking and confusing the group. He continued, "She's incapable of handling and doing anything right, without the proper guidance." "These are her pictures? 'Chillin sandy style'? 'U no how I do'? 'I came I saw I vintaged'?" Icy asked uncomfortably and confusingly while looking through Vignette's Snapgab. She then come across to Vignette's Seductive Picture, "Okay, somebody tell me why this picture has twenty thousand likes." Just as Icy played Vignette's latest picture, almost all of Dragon Strike Force yelped in disbelief and shock of what they're looking at. They almost want to throw up if they hadn't cover up their mouths. This shocked and confused some of Mane Seven. "Somehow that doesn't look good to me," Flare Tiger said comfortably. "What is wrong with this picture?" Shadow Dragon asked in disgust, "Is that supposed to be good?" Terrorcreep groaned, "Honestly, no. I don't find it attracting. Just disgust." "Couldn't agree more," Tailtech agreed sickly, "Spending all that time just to look good in a picture isn't my idea of fun." Saber hummed in disgust, "I can see why you have a problem with her. These pictures are very bad." Shorty sighed, "You have no idea…" "HEY! They're not bad!" Rainbow, "There you are!" Rarity's voice called out happily. Everyone looked up ahead, where they found Rarity and Applejack are approaching to them. And to their surprise, Applejack worn a white-pinkish dress with apple pattern on it, white apron, boots, greenish headband with apple icon and a caramel apple-like hat on her head. Tailtech smiled, "Here comes the lead parade costume designer and caramel apple manager!" "Guilty as charged!" Rarity joked playfully. "Wow, AJ!" Saber exclaimed in surprise while looking at Applejack's dress. He whistled a bit, "That's some dress you've got." Applejack smiled with blush, "Thanks. It's a code dress for caramel apple stall. It's gonna be busy." Saber chuckled a bit, "I can tell." Shorty hugged Rarity briefly before asking, "Rarity, are you alright? You've been here solo without your best friends all this time. How can we help?" Rarity smiled while patting Shorty's shoulder, "I'm doing fine, Shorty. Just stressed and tired from working on parade designs. I was relieved that Applejack got me out for a break." "I see. What a relief. I hate to see what they might to do to you." "You worried too much. I'm not some helpless little girl" "Well, can the boyfriend worried for his girlfriend and make sure that she's alright?" "I supposed he can." Rarity remarked with a sigh. She turned and looked back as she found Vignette's finished from taking photos with her fans. She spoke calmly, "Hold that thought. Vignette! Over here!" "You know Vignette Valencia?" Shorty asked in concern. "Pfft. Do I know her?" Rarity asked playfully. As soon as Vignette approached Rarity, both of them gave each other a friendly 'peck' on the cheek. She then turned and looked at her friends. "Why, she's my best friend at the park!" Rarity exclaimed happily. Applejack cleared her throat, "Rarity. It's our best friend at the park." Rarity yelped before giggled nervously, "My bad." Vignette smiled happily as she held Applejack and Rarity close to her, "Now, now, no need to get upset. You both are my best friends at the park." Shorty gasped in shock and concern of what he just heard. Both Saber and Tailtech looked worry and uneasy as they knew he wouldn't be happy about it. "Selfie!" Vignette said happily, "Oh, but can we use your phone? Mine's been acting super-weird lately." "Sure, why not?" Rarity said happily. Vignetter smiled, "Thanks. You're the best!" As Rarity held her cellphone up; she, Applejack and Vignette positioned themselves in while looking at the screen that has all three of them in. They all smiled happily while making poses. While almost everyone is happy to see their friends enjoyed their new job and friendship with Vignette, Shorty wasn't as he glared at her angrily and annoyingly. Saber and Tailtech became worried about him as they feared he might do something foolish. Shorty gave the angry thoughts, "I don't know what games you're playing, Vignette. But if you think you can just manipulate and turned my girlfriend on me and my friends like a toy, then you've got another thing coming to you. I promised you that if anything bad happen to her, I'll make you feel wrath! You will pay for what you did to me…" To Be Continued… Review and Suggest… > Dignity (II) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- After two weeks long since they were hired for the job at Equestria Land, Applejack and Rarity reunite with their friends, who were invited to the amusement park. During their reunion, they brought Vignette to join and meet up with others. Shorty was annoyed and irritated to see her around and even dare to befriend his girlfriend, not after what she has done to him. Shorty growled in annoyance, "Unbelievable…" Saber nudged Shorty's shoulder as he whispered sternly, "Mind your manners, Shorty. Don't make yourself look bad." Shorty scoffed while crossed his arms, "Whatever…" While Vignette was busy with her 'magical' phone, Rarity introduced her to her friends, "Everyone, this is Vignette Valencia. She runs P.R. for the park, and she's our boss." Heard what Rarity has said, Vignette joked amusingly, "I told you not to use the 'B' word. I'm your… 'friend'… who gets to boss you around!" Though not amused of her joke, both Applejack and Rarity gave nervous yet uneasy laughter. They even gestured her friends to do the same, though Shorty remained annoyed. "I don't get it," Laxtinct and Pinkie asked in confusion. Applejack cleared her throat as she introduced her friends to her employer, "And there are our friends – Twilight Sparkle, Sunset Shimmer, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Saber, Shadow Dragon, Blazefist, Aqua, Laxtinct, Shorty, Tailtech, Icy and Flare Tiger." Saber noticed how focused and busy Vignette with her phone. He remarked, "Well, she certainly has some manners." Tailtech snickered, "No kidding. It's no wonder why Shorty got problem with her." Shorty was annoyed as he flipped on the back of his head. He yelped in pain, "Hey! It was a joke." Shorty scoffed, "Not in good mood for that." "They're our best friends. So… I thought you'd like to meet them." Rarity explained calmly. Vignette didn't seem to be interested while typing down on her phone. She looked nervous and worried about her reaction. Thinking of a way to impress her, she continued, "Fun fact – uh, we perform together in a band called the Rainbooms." "Rainbooms? Why is that familiar?" Vignette asked in surprise. She looked at her phone to find out about the band, "A hundred thousand followers? Focused consumer-centric demographic, too? Does your curated content consistently aggregate across multiple platforms?" Everyone sans Shorty looked surprised and uncertain of Vignette's reaction and question. They did not expect her to say such thing. "We sing songs together!" Pinkie exclaimed happily. Shorty scoffed, "I see you're still ignorant and rude as ever. For not greeting the guests." "Excuse me?" Vignette was annoyed to ask. She turned and glared at Shorty. She hummed curiously, "Do I know you from somewhere? You look familiar." "You know me too well, Valencia…" Shorty said sternly while glaring at Vignette, who looked confused and uncertain. He continued firmly and sternly. "My name is Shorty Thinking. I helped you a lot with your photography, videography and even public relation. Remember that?" Vignette hummed thoughtfully, "Sorry. Never heard that name before." Irritated, Shorty shouted angrily, "Why you-!" "Easy! Forget about this!" Saber said sternly and firmly to Shorty while holding him back. The DSF Scientist calmed himself down. He sighed, "Sorry about that. He's just worried for his girlfriend." "It's natural to be worried for the lover. No biggie," Vignette said calmly and happily. Looking at the phone about 'Rainboom', she gasped, "I am going to turn you into the centerpiece of tonight's light parade!" "Uh, the Rainbooms?" Rainbow asked in confusion. Vignette shushed at her new friends, "Shhh... Are you ready? B.Y.B.B. Be yourself, but better! That's been my power phrase since I started my first company. A middle school girl selling artisanal handmade mascara. 'But isn't that just melted crayons?' Hey, neighsayers gonna neigh. But I say B.Y.B.B." Laxtinct hummed thoughtfully, "Uh… Be Young Billy Boy?" "Seriously?" Vignette asked in annoyance. "Um, how many people will be watching us?" Fluttershy asked in concern. "All of them! What do you say?" Vignette asked hopefully. "That's wonderful!" The voice exclaimed happily yet madly. Everyone looked behind as they found a dwarf man with orange colored hair with bald on front wearing tuxedo suit, top hat, monocle on right eye, and even using the umbrella as the walking stick. He chuckled, "To have some young and famous people around here, my Equestria Land will be famous in no time! I like it!" Vignette gasped, "Mr. Cobblepot! What a surprise to see you here." Mr. Cobblepot chuckled a bit, "Of course. I want to make sure that nothing goes wrong. After all, I'm the owner." "Everyone, this is Mr. Cobblepot, the owner of Equestria Land," Vignette introduced her friends to her boss. She smiled, "It's great to have you around." Mr. Cobblepot chuckled, "Yeah, yeah, me too. So, are you guys in or what? Shorty was about to protest. Applejack spoke up, "Well, if it's gonna help out Rarity, then we'd be glad to do it. Right, everyone?" Almost everyone chattered and exclaimed in agreement, though Shorty was annoyed and irritated to agree with this. "Like, like, like, like, like, like. Etc." Vignette exclaimed happily while pushing the 'like' buttons on all of Rainbooms and Dragon Strike Force. She smiled, "Upload and post it, ladies. This'll trend fer sure! I'll you later with the exact deets. B.Y.B.B, Rare and AJ. V, out." Mr. Cobblepot chuckled a bit as he handed out the golden tickets to both Dragon Strike Force and Rainbooms, "Here you go. Enjoy your fun. It will be the blast!" Mr. Cobblepot and Vignette turned and headed off as they're returning to their office now. Everyone waved and said goodbye to them. "I know. She's amazing, right?" Rarity asked happily. Shorty scoffed, "Amazing… I doubt it." Everyone except Saber and Tailtech curiously yet worriedly looked at Shorty about why he's so against with Vignette so much. "I have a question," Shadow Dragon asked seriously, "How're we supposed to get our instruments?" "He does have the point," Twilight said in agreement, "That was too last minute for preparatiomn. We'll never get them in time." Rarity scoffed, "Pfft, kuh! Vignette will handle everything." "Oh sure. Vignette can handle everything." Shorty remarked sarcastically before scoffed, "Not!" "What's with him?" Applejack asked Saber. Saber sighed in annoyance, "I'll explain later." Rarity cleared her throat, "Listen, tonight's a huge opportunity. And not just for me now, but for all of us!" Laxtinct yelped happily, "You know what this means! Let's go see the park!" Almost everyone chattered and discussed with each other about what they wanted to do at the amusement park. They can't wait to try and have fun with the games. Noticing how annoyed and angry Shorty is, Rarity approached and talked with him, "Honestly, I don't know why you're giving me your frowny eyebrows. I don't even know why you have a grudge with Vignette when she knows nothing about you." Shorty sighed in annoyance, "It's nothing." "Uhhh, well, uh... enjoy the park." Rarity said in uncertainty before kissing him by the cheek. She continued while looking at her phone, "I'm gonna be super-busy preparing for tonight. So, let's meet in the staging area for sound check and run-throughs. I have three minutes' break at four o'clock, and I can give you two of them. B.Y.B.B.!" She laughed a bit, "Rare, out!" Watching Rarity heading off to her production garage, Shorty sighed in annoyance, "If you say so." "Look, Shorty, try not to make things messy and awkward for Rarity. She's been stressed enough to get the parade done especially for today." Applejack said seriously and firmly. She sighed while patted Shorty's back, "Be supportive to her, okay?" Saber nodded firmly, "She's right, Shorty. Vignette hasn't done anything wrong." His friends were right, Shorty came here to support Rarity. As far as his concern, Vignette hasn't done anything wrong to his girlfriend. "So, what's next?" Terrorcreep asked calmly. "Should we practice for the parade?" Fluttershy suggested, "It's a little… Daunting, isn't it?" Rainbow scoffed as she held Fluttershy close to her, "We know every song by heart. Wouldn't you rather go have some fun?" Everyone chattered happily and excitedly as they can't wait to start having fun with amusement park. They all headed off and have their fun now. At the same time, Shorty remained uncertain and worried about Rarity as he hoped that nothing bad happens to her. After departing from meeting and talking with Rainbooms and Dragon Strike Force, Mr. Cobblepot has arrived and returned to his office. Taking the seat, he activated and accessed his computer for contacting and communicating with his contact. "Yes?" Machine Dragoon's Voice asked dryly. Mr. Cobblepot smirked, "Everything's in place, boss. We've got them in." Machine Dragoon chuckled, "Perfect…" Rainbow, Fluttershy, Terrorcreep and Aqua have arrived at the rollercoaster site. Very nervous and uneasy when looking at the rollercoaster, Fluttershy pretended to look at the brochures. Terrorcreep stayed close to her, making sure and comforting her. Rainbow was drinking her smoothie while looking and awed at the site. Aqua looked uneasy, nervous and even sick when looking at the rollercoaster. "This might not be a good idea for fun," Aqua said in concern yet sickly. Rainbow yelled out happily, "Pretty great, right?!" Fluttershy shuddered in fear to ask, "What?!" Rainbow yelled back, "Can you hear me over all the screaming?!" "I can't hear you over all the screaming!" Fluttershy yelled back in concern. She shuddered in fear, "Oh. I wish I'd gone with Sunset and Twilight. Or Pinkie Pie. Or anyone else in the entire park." Terrorcreep patted Fluttershy's back, "Do not worry so much, Fluttershy. We're here for you. You have nothing to fear." Rainbow nodded happily, "Look at it this way. It's the perfect opportunity to conquer your fear." Still scared and worried, Fluttershy spoke, "I supposed I can. Can't I conquer something a little smaller first?" "I'm with Fluttershy," Aqua said in agreement. Looking at the rollercoaster, she groaned sickly, "I don't think I'm ready for this yet." "Hey, good idea! A warm-up before the big game!" Rainbow exclaimed happily. She turned and looked at Fluttershy's brochures map, "Ooh! What did you have in mind? Dragon Lands Drag Racing? Ooh, the Appleloosa Runaway Train! Ooh, Neighagara Falls Barrel Flume?!" Fluttershy gave some thoughts of what rides she wants to ride with. After careful consideration, she made her decision. A few minutes later, Fluttershy is now facing her fear of riding the rollercoaster. She screamed in fear for preparing the worst. However, as it turns out that she and her friends were riding the children's rollercoaster style, much to Rainbow's chagrin. Seeing children enjoyed riding the rollercoaster, Fluttershy awed, "Oh, these kids are so brave." Rainbow was annoyed. Aqua laughed uneasily, "Well, it's a good practice to help us get over our issues with rollercoaster. Fluttershy's fear. My motion sickness. And not sure about TC. He doesn't seem to have issue with it." Rainbow curiously looked at Terrorcreep, who scoffed while crossed his arms, "Getting over the crazy screams. My ears are very sensitive." "Seriously?" Rainbow asked in annoyance. Instead of going to amusement park or even game stall, Shorty headed to the production house, checking on Rarity and making sure she's alright with her parade works. He managed to meet up with her. He found her busy managing and overseeing her workers with preparing the materials and tools, and also constructing the parades. "You've been busy," Shorty commented calmly. "Shorty, this parade is a living, breathing dance of light and sound" Rarity explained calmly. Many assistants have arrived, bringing along with the materials and props for her to inspecting on their works. She answered, "Love it, lock it, stitch it. Beautiful, perfect, I just threw up, love it. Now hurry up! I need these done yesterday!" The assistants nodded firmly and seriously. They quickly moved out and returned to their position, continued their work. "I can see why," Shorty remarked calmly. He smiled, "Don't worry, Rarity. I'm confident that you can handle it. After all, I tutored you about management and designing the arts. Do you need my assistant?" Rarity smiled warmly, "Well, I could use a director and videographer with this work." Shorty smiled, "Sure. Why not? Do you have filmmaking gears?" Before Rarity could say anything, she noticed and found a Siren-like Pony Mascot was passing her by. She shouted angrily, "Excuse me! I know I am not seeing a lapped zipper on that faux fur!" Siren-like Pony Mascot looked down in shame. She berated, "A lapped zipper is simply a stuck zipper waiting to happen! Ugh! This is what I'm up against." Rarity groaned in pain while hitting on her head. Shorty stopped her before massaging her head, "Okay, I can see that. Maybe you should take a break and go get a caramel apple from Applejack's stall?" Rarity sighed, "I'd love to, darling, but I am a tad super-insanely busy. Heh." "I see." Shorty nodded understandingly. He sighed, "Try not to push yourself too hard. The last thing you need is rain on your parade." Rarity gasped, "Rain?! I didn't plan for rain!" She turned to her assistant, "Get me one hundred ponchos, stat! Move it, people!" Rarity panicked and headed off to deal with the problems and making sure the parade is ready. Shorty sighed in annoyance while facepalmed as he shouldn't mention that and made her stressed and paranoid about her job. After done with the Kids' Rollercoaster, Rainbow kept on insisting and pestering her friends to take and use the excitable and awesome rollercoaster for them to try. They reluctantly agreed to ride on it, despite how uncomfortable they have for the rollercoaster. They're now at the Cloudsdale Adventure Rollercoaster. Everyone has boarded up on the rollercoaster. It is now rolling and climbing up to the top of the rail. They're now preparing for the worst. Fluttershy looked scared and worried about it. Aqua is still uncomfortable and uneasy with her motion sickness. Terrorcreep was annoyed and irritated about listening to people's screams. "I cannot believe we have to go through it," Terrorcreep grumbled. Aqua sighed, "Me neither. But Rainbow keep bothering us to do it. And you know how frustrated it gets." Terrorcreep groaned, "Tell me something I don't know." "Ooh… I hope I'm ready for this," Fluttershy muttered in fear. "I'm proud of you. You know that?" Rainbow said calmly and proudly while patted her best friend's shoulder. Fluttershy remained silent while showing scared and concern. She continued while looking behind, "You're facing your fears head-on. Just like I always did as a kid. I mean, look, a four-hundred-foot vertical drop right into these loop-de-loops and a corkscrew?" One look of how far and high the rollercoaster ride has taken them; Rainbow gulped a bit with nervousness and fear. She quickly turned back to the front while looking at worried Fluttershy, who closed her eyes. Terrorcreep noticed something off about her. "You're probably super-nervous about that, I bet." Rainbow asked fearfully and worried, "Heh. And that next part where it goes backwards? Uh, how are you feeling, Fluttershy?" The rollercoaster ride almost reaching the top of rail especially about to enter the clouds-like tunnel. Rainbow became very nervous and scared to see how high it really goes especially seeing some of seagulls were flying and passing it by. "Did you notice something about her?" Terrorcreep asked curiously. Though nervous and worried, Aqua breathed calmly and firmly, "No. Too busy to calm myself down from not getting the motion sickness." Rainbow gulped, "Is it even safe to be this high up? You're probably thinking, 'Stop the ride! I want to get off!' That's what you want, right? Right now? You're about to yell it?" As soon as the rollercoaster ride has reached the top and passed through the tunnel, she screamed in fear, "Stop the ride! Seriously! Please, somebody stop the ride! STOP THE RIIIIIIIDE!" The rollercoaster ride dived down at once before heading and riding through various kind of rails such as loops, spinning, wormhole and even heading towards a large turn from every inch of corner. For few minutes have passed, the rollercoaster reached the end of the station. Almost everyone seemed to be enjoying the ride, however, Rainbow was sacred about it. Everyone stood up and got out from the rollercoaster ride, though Rainbow still sitting down on the seat. The assistant approached and helped her to stand up. They all exited out of Cloudsdale Adventure Rollercoaster's entrance. Three of them seem to be enjoying it while Rainbow struggled to walk straight. "That was actually kind of… fun." Fluttershy remarked with giggles. Aqua took a deep breathe before released it, "Wow. For the first time in my life, I don't feel any motion sickness. I felt amazing." "Agreed. My ears are fine, despite the excitable screams," Terrorcreep remarked warmly while checking on his ear to listen, which seem to be fine. He turned and looked at Rainbow. He smirked teasingly, "How about you, Dashie? Enjoying the ride?" "Totally! That's why I didn't want to get off! I was just saying what you all would've said." Rainbow remarked playfully. Her friends looked at her amusingly. She gave nervous laugh, "That's all." "Sure. Why not?" Terrorcreep mocked. Fluttershy smiled as she patted Rainbow's back, "You were very brave." "Heh. You, too… by the way." Rainbow remarked with blush. Just as Rainbow was about to move out, she tripped and fell down hard. She groaned and moaned in pain. Aqua approached and helped her to stand up. Terrorcreep and Fluttershy laughed amusingly while looking at her. Suddenly, her phone buzzed, Fluttershy responded it while hummed curiously, "Vignette?" "Huh? What does she want now?" Terrorcreep asked. "I don't know. But she told me to meet her at the Lollipop Land." "Do you want me to accompany you?" "No need. I'll be fine." Fluttershy said calmly and gently. She gave her boyfriend a kiss on the cheek, "I'll be back soon. Try not to go berserk and paranoid when I'm gone." Terrorcreep scoffed, "Who do you take me for?" Fluttershy playfully smiled and shrugged before headed off to meet with Vignette now. At the same time, Terrorcreep and Aqua helped Rainbow to get up and move to another location for rest up. Applejack was taking and giving Saber the tour around the amusement park while heading off to the Caramel Apple Stalls. And at the same time, the detective explained about Shorty's issue with Vignette to the manager. The cowgirl was shocked and disbelieved of what she heard. She couldn't believe that our best friend would be capable of cheating and stealing ideas for herself for the sake of becoming famous. "I can't believe she would do such a thing," Applejack said in concern. While rubbing her head, she recalled her meeting and conversation with her boss, "I mean, Vignette was so nice and friendly, even though a bit rude and so focus on her phone. She couldn't do such a thing, could she?" Saber shrugged in concern, "As far as I'm concern, Shorty isn't a liar. But come on. He wouldn't be angry without a reason. You know that, AJ." "Hmm… I supposed it's true. But still…" "I know you have a hard time to believe this. But it's the truth. You know I'd never lie especially to you." "Of course, I believe in you, Saber. I always do." "Good. You and Rarity have to be very careful with her. She can't be trusted." "Got it. But Rarity is gonna be problem. She's already been stressed with her project for weeks. And Vignette treat her so well and kindly because of her flattery and nice words about Rare." Saber sighed in concern, "I see. This might be problem. Either way, we have to make her listen. The last thing Shorty want is a big fight with her." Applejack nodded, "Yeah, of course." Felt his stomach growling, Saber yelped in embarrassment while Applejack and even Ace giggled a bit. He chuckled uneasily, "That was embarrassing. Don't suppose we could try on your store's food?" Applejack smiled playfully while gesturing 'this way', "Sure. Right this way, sir." Applejack lead Saber straight to the Caramel Apple Stall, where she worked as the manager. Upon their arrival, they met up with familiar working staffs such as Blueberry Cake, Lyra Heartstring, Aqua Blossom and even Micro Chip. Girls worn yellow-colored collared shirt with light magenta colored skirt, blue overall jean, brown boots and cowgirl hat while the nerd student worn greenish collared shirt with apples pattern and dark green overall pants as they were handling and preparing the caramel apples. "Apples! Caramel apples over here!" Micro Chip called out happily and warmly, "We've got red and green and everything in between!" "Micro Chip?" Saber asked in surprise. Surprised yet embarrassed, Micro Chip cleared his throat while showing his Caramel Apple stick, "Caramel apple?" "Uh, no." Saber answered calmly. He turned and looked at Applejack, "I didn't know that you hired him to be caramel apple… girl?" Micro Chip blushed in embarrassment while the girls giggled softly and playfully about him being a caramel apple girl. Applejack shook her head playfully, "Not my idea. Vignette was very insistent to get 'cool nerd chic' for this one. So, we allowed it and chose Micro Chip to be one." She whispered to her friend's ear, "To be honest, it's not the best idea. Not even Mr. Cobblepot likes it." Though he cannot hear what Applejack and Saber conversation, Micro Chip knew what they were talking about. He scoffed, "I can tell you one thing. I'm not some helpless and useless nerd, who has no idea what to do with my work. In fact, I was personally trained by my manager." Saber and Ace looked surprised. They asked, "Really?" Applejack giggled playfully, "Yup. He was a bit slow and not very good with the work, but he's a fast learner." "You don't say?" Saber asked doubtfully. "I'm sure," Applejack said confidently, "Micro Chip, show him." Micro Chip saluted confidently and proudly. He took two red and green apples sticks out. He then jabbed and sticked them to the caramel source pot before pulling them out hard. Though struggle to get them out of stick situation, he rolled them up together to get snapped and separated from the caramel sauce. He split them up before decorating and mixing up them with colorful sprinkles, crumbled nuts, placing some chocolate and nacho cheese source on them, and added dragon-shaped and apple-shaped biscuits, and even placed two colorful sticks on them. "Ta-da!" Micro Chip cheered happily while passing the Caramel Apple sticks to Applejack and Saber. "Wow!" Ace whistled happily before climbing down on the caramel apple stick. After tasting it carefully, he hummed happily, "Nice! Cheesy!" Applejack and Saber tasted their apple caramels. They made hum happily. The detective complimented, "Wow. It's good." Applejack smiled happily, "I told you he can do it. Nice work, Micro Chip!" Micro Chip smiled, "Thanks, Applejack. Happy to help for you and your boyfriend." Applejack and Saber yelped in concern with the blush in red. The girls and even Ace chuckled and giggled amusingly and happily about it. "He's/She's not my boyfriend/girlfriend!" Applejack and Saber exclaimed in embarrassment. Micro Chip chuckled a bit, "No need to get upset and embarrassed. You two are made for each other. Be happy for the tour and love." He noticed more customers including Indigo and Thunderlane arrived at the scene. He gasped, "More customers. Gotta go!" Micro Chip and his working staffs approached to the customers as they talked with them while providing caramel apples to them. Applejack and Saber looked at each other for the moment before looked away and blushed in embarrassment. Despite them being close friends, they couldn't help but falling in love for them. They wished they could tell each other of how they feel. While Saber and Applejack were eating their caramel apples, they spotted Vignette and Fluttershy were heading to Sweet Land. They wondered what they were doing. Regardless they have to finish their food before they could check out. Arriving at the destination's entrance, Vignette has the discussion with Fluttershy about the former's idea. "I know what you're thinking. 'But, Vignette, how can I ever thank you for coming up with such a brilliant idea for the parade?'" Vignette said sincerely yet calmly. Fluttershy looked confused and uncertain to ask, "I don't understand. You want me to pretend I'm someone else tonight?" "Everyone in the band has a new role. It's part of my BOLD, NEW VISION! All caps, Helvetica, sixty-five. 'Fluttershy: Bad Girl'." Vignette said excitedly and happily. She continued explaining, "Spiked hair, ripped tights. I've already commissioned an A-list graffiti/sneaker artist to tag up a custom guitar. How do you feel about skulls?" Fluttershy couldn't believe of what Vignette has said. She's completely uneasy, nervous and scared about changing her appearance. It fits for her boyfriend than her. Vignette smiled, "B.Y.B.B." "Uh, maybe I, um…" Fluttershy said nervously and fearfully while backing away, "shouldn't do it. At all." Vignette was annoyed and irritated by Fluttershy's refusal. When she looked at her smartphone, she smiled slyly, "You're right. If collab-ing isn't your thing, that's your life decision to make. But I just thought of a way for us both to get exactly what we want." "You did?" Fluttershy asked in surprise. "Of course! Getting what I want is what I do best, sweetie. Now say 'cheese!'" Vignette exclaimed happily as she activated and taken picture of Fluttershy. She got electronically zapped and digitally absorbed into the smartphone. She smiled amusingly, "Sorry, Fluttershy. You'll thank me later." "Vignette?" Applejack's voice called. Vignette yelped in concern as she panicked and quickly hid the phone in her trench jacket's pocket. She turned back and found Applejack and Saber arrived at the entrance. "AJ! W-What are you doing here?!" Vignette asked in surprise. "Just checking on Fluttershy." Applejack explained. She looked around. She looked confused and uncertain. She hummed, "That's strange. Couldn't sworn she was here with you." Vignette shrugged nervously, "You just missed her. She's heading back with her Batboy." She cleared her throat, "Anyhow, I gotta go! See ya!" Just before anyone could ask, Vignette quickly headed off and left the Sweet Land. Applejack and Saber were confused yet suspicious by her sudden behavior. "What was that about?" Applejack asked in confusion. Saber hummed in concern, "No clue. But I have the feeling that she knows something really going on…" Inside the large white and empty chamber; Fluttershy looked confuse, worried and scared as she has no idea of what's really going on. "Um, excuse me? Vignette? Where am I?" Fluttershy asked in concern and confusion. She heard the door was opened. She looked back and found couple of shadowy figures stood before her. She gulped, "W-Who are you?! What do you want?!" The shadowy figure slowly emerged out from the light and revealed himself to be Mr. Cobblepot. He chuckled, "Why you're working for my boss now, my dear. Welcome to your new mechanical life, Fluttershy." Fluttershy gasped in shock and fear. She doesn't like where this is leading to. Who knows what danger she'd be facing with now? To be Continued… Review and Suggest… > Dignity (III) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Inside the scientific laboratory, Fluttershy was gagged and held by Mecha Troopers as she grunted while panicking and struggling to escape their captive. They dragged her to the patient bed, where she got tied up with the belts and gagged by the cloth. The mechanical scientists and technicians began performing surgery on her. At the entrance, Cobblepolt smiled amusingly and happily while watching the event, along with three Mecha Commanders. "One down and more to go," Cobblepolt remarked calmly. Machine Dragoon growled softly, "Yes… Bring them more here, Cobblepolt. I want to turn these heroes into my new machine warriors. They will help me conquer the world…" Cobblepolt smiled, "Don't worry, sir. We'll get them all. I can guarantee you." At the carnival game; Twilight, Shadow Dragon and Sunset were walking and passing through a couple of game stalls. They were looking around and checking which one for them to try and have some fun. And to their surprise, they spotted Flash, who was coming from other side, also checking on which game stall to play with. "Flash!" Sunset called out happily. Flash was surprised by the call. She approached towards him before giving him a hug. Departing from him, she asked, "Didn't know you would come here. I thought you were helping your dad out with his garage stuffs." Flash smiled while rubbing his head, "I did. Turns out that cleaning the garage isn't bad. We sold out most of old stuffs. So, I came here as soon as possible." "Could have call us," Sunset teased playfully. Flash shrugged a bit, "Well, I'm here, right?" Sunset nodded happily, "Better than nothing as they say. Glad you came here in time, Flash. So, what kind of game you think we should play?" Just as Flash pointed at the game stall, his friends turned and looked at the direction he was pointing at. They all found Flim and Flam were hosting the game stall, which involved of throwing rings on the bottles, and shelves are filled with stuff animals and creatures. "Step right up! Don't be shy!" Flim called out happily Flam cried, "You like prizes? We got prizes!" "Toss this ring onto any one of these bottles!" Flim called out while showing off by throwing the ring on the bottle. He managed to score it. He smiled, "Easiest game in the park!" Twilight smiled happily, "Wow! This game does look easy!" Flim smirked slyly, "Would ya lookee here? Somebody who knows a thing or two about a thing or two!" Just as Twilight was about to pass the ticket to Flim, Shadow Dragon quickly held her hand while shaking his head firmly. "Come on, Twilight. You can't be that serious," Shadow Dragon said seriously. Sunset nodded firmly, "He's right. They're just giving ya the old bump-and-tingle to lure you in. These games are rigged." "Definitely make you waste your money and tickets," Shadow Dragon said seriously and firmly. He turned and glared at Flim and Flam, "Am I right, pals?" "Slanderous!" Flim exclaimed in anger. Flam cried, "Libelous!" "Would you give it a rest," Shadow Dragon asked in annoyance, "We're not gonna fall for it, got it?" Twilight hummed in thoughts, "I supposed you're right." Though annoyed and irritated by Shadow Dragon's insult, Flim smirked slyly as he remarked, "Fine. But don't blame us if you're too chicken to play it." Feeling offended, Shadow Dragon demanded, "What did you call me?!" Flam sighed, "It's understandable. No need to be shy and ashamed if you're scared to play and lose the game." Flim chuckled amusingly, "Yeah. Everyone hates being sore losers like you." "Yes, brother! I mean your girlfriend is here to see you win, sir! And you denied it! What a coward!" "Indeed, brother! A beautiful girl like her will never accept a sore loser like you. What a joke!" "Indeed. You're a joke and a loser!" Snapped by the insult, Shadow Dragon groaned before taking out and slammed the ticket on the counter. He snapped, "I'll show you who's the loser!" "Now that's the spirit!" Flim exclaimed happily. Flam nodded in agreement, "Yup! I can guarantee you, sir. Your girlfriend will love it!" Shadow Dragon smirked confidently while holding the greenish ring, "Bring it on!" His friends groaned in disbelief and annoyance by Shadow Dragon's pride and determination to win the game. Holding tight on his ring, Shadow Dragon was looking and aiming it at the bottles. After picking the target, he threw it straight on one of them. It was spinning and bouncing a bit like it was trying to settle down. "Oh, the suspense!" Flim exclaimed in excitedly. Flam hasped, "The drama!" "I can't watch!" Flim exclaimed in concern. Flam quickly held on Flim's while exclaimed, "Hold me!" As both Flim and Flam gave a fake shuddering reaction, Shadow Dragon and his friends were getting excited and happy as they can tell that they're gonna win. Suddenly, the ring bounced off from the bottle, causing them groaned in annoyance and anger. "You were pretty close, though." Twilight said in comfort while patted on her boyfriend's back. "Allow me," Sunset smirked confidently as she passed the ticket to Flim and Flam. She readied with her ring, "Time to show you how it works." Targeting on the bottles carefully, Sunset swung the ring around and around for few times before threw it straight on the bottle. Instead of landing on it, the ring bounced out. "What the-?!" Sunset asked angrily. "Hey, it's okay. You'll get it," Flash said calmly while showing his tickets. Twilight nodded while showing couple of more tickets, "Maybe we should try one more time?" Seeing Twilight and Flash were holding some tickets, Flim and Flam smirked slyly and cunningly that they're gonna enjoy collecting more of them for their gains. After finding out that Fluttershy has left, both Applejack and Saber headed off to find and locate her and the rest of their friends. The cowgirl tried to contact the shy girl but so far, it only goes to the voice mail box for nearly four times. Turning off her phone, Applejack sighed in concern, "That's not like Fluttershy to turn off her phone. She always responds it, unless she got important calls to deal with. Better not be Zephyr Breeze again." "And normally, it shouldn't be long," Saber added in concern. "You think something bad happen to her?" "I hope not. I wonder what did Vignette want to talk with her about. Did she tell you anything?" "Not that I know of. Rarity didn't tell me much about her parade plan. She wants it to be a big surprise for us to enjoy it." "Whatever Vignette's up to, it can't be very good." Applejack groaned in frustration, "What did she do to Fluttershy? If something bad happens to her…" "Hey, we'll find her. Okay?" Saber said calmly while holding on her shoulder. Still worried and scared, Applejack remained calm and firm to smile, "Yeah. Thanks. You sure know how to make me feel better." Saber smiled warmly, "What can I say? I love you so much that I can't afford to ignore you." "Wait! What?!" Applejack asked in surprise with blush on her face. Saber yelped in concern, "Nothing! Nothing! Nothing! I mean to say that I care for you!" He then noticed Terrorcreep was looking around of amusement park, looking for Fluttershy. He gasped as he called, "Terrorcreep!" Applejack turned to the front and found Terrorcreep was looking around as well. She called, "Terrorcreep! Terrocrep! Over here!" Surprised by the calling, Terrorcreep turned and found his friends calling him. He quickly approached them, "Applejack. Saber. I've found you both here. Do you know where Fluttershy is?" Saber and Applejack looked worry. He spoke in concern, "We were hoping that you were with her." Applejack nodded in agreement, "Vignette told us after she talked with her, Fluttershy was on her way to meet up with you." Terrorcreep shook his head in concern, "Well, she wasn't with me. I tried to call her. She didn't respond to me." Applejack hummed in concern, "Don't tell me that Vignette lied to us. Why? What's she gonna do to Fluttershy?" "I don't know. But we're about to find out," Saber said seriously and firmly. He picked up his cellphone as he called, "Shorty, we've got situation." Back at the production garage outside, Shorty nodded seriously and firmly as he was listening to Saber's concerns. "Alright, Saber. I'll check it out." Shorty said seriously, "You guys better do the same too. Go to the security room. It might have the answer we're looking for." Saber's voice spoke, "Got it. Watch yourself, Shorty. Vignette is up to something like you said." Shorty narrowed his angry eyes, "She definitely is. I'm gonna find out." Turning off his cellphone, Shorty turned to the production garage's door as he entered it. He looked around, searching for Rarity. She was placing and connecting wires to the cowboy's shirt that has small makeshift bulbs-like on top of west life parade, which was under the construction by workers. "Finished!" Rarity exclaimed happily. She sighed in relief while wiping some sweat off. She held the plugs up. Just as she plugged them together, she shouted, "Let there be light!" The bulbs on cowboy's clothes lighted up with buzzing noise. Her assistants awed in amazement and happy that she has succeeded the work again. Rarity sighed in relief, "Maybe tonight won't be a disaster after all." Unfortunately, the cowboy's shirt with light bulbs gave a crackling noise before short circuited and fused, causing the lights gone to dark. Everyone gasped in concern and fear. Annoyed and irritated, Rarity's eye twitched before answered, "Will you, uh, excuse me for a moment?" Rarity turned and walked away from everyone. Just as she approached to the pile of clothes, she jumped and slammed on them. She then muffled out angrily and loud, "OF ALL THE OUTLANDISH CIRCUMSTANCES IN THE UNIVERSE, WHY ARE ALL THE WRETCHED THINGS HAPPENING TO ME?!" As Shorty was looking around, he comes across to her lying on the pile of shirt. Shorty asked, "There you are! Rarity, have you-!" Rarity snapped as she got up, "I wasn't having a meltdown! Who said I was having a meltdown?! I AM NOT HAVING A MELTDOWN!" Shorty sighed in annoyance, "I wasn't going to ask that. I was asking have you seen Fluttershy? According to Saber, she went wandering off with Vignette before disappeared." "Are you honestly asking me this right now?" Rarity asked in annoyance. Shorty was disbelieved as he answered, "Yes! Of course, I'm asking that! She's your friend!" "How am I supposed to know where she is?! In fact, Shorty, we're in a giant fun park with fifty thousand people. 'Course you can't find her." Rarity answered impatiently. She gasped in concern, "Fifty thousand people! All looking at my costumes!" "Rarity! Did you hear what I say?!" Shorty asked in frustration tone. Panicking and worrying over her situation, Rarity remarked in fear, "That's a hundred thousand individual eyeballs, Shorty." "Rarity, I can't believe you!" Shorty snapped angrily. He groaned before turned and walked away, "Fine! I'll meet up with others to find her. You'd better prioritize of what's important!" Panicking and shaking in fear, Rarity screamed, "SOMEBODY GET ME A BIGGER PILE OF CLOTHES TO SCREAM INTO!" As commanded, the assistants panicked and brought more clothes to drop on the pile. Rarity groaned and then screamed in frustration before falling on it. She grumbled and grunted in frustration and annoyance about her situation. Back to Twilight's team, both Shadow Dragon and Sunset were frustrating and struggling to win as neither of them were unable to get their own rings to bounce and land on any of bottles. Twilight and Flash became uneasy and worried for them as all they can do is pat them on their back. And at the same time, Flim and Flam made some idle noises while keeping their tickets. Shadow Dragon groaned, "There is no way I'm gonna lose!" "Agreed! I know we can score this one!" Sunset agreed firmly. She hummed thoughtfully, "There must be something we can do!" Flash hissed, "I'd be more worried about their health if they don't stop from being competitive and trying to win this rigged." "Agreed," Twilight said firmly and seriously while working on her book. She smirked determinedly, "Guess who just mapped out a perfect projectile trajectory taking into account propulsion, gravity, and aerodynamic drag! This gal! Betcha thought I forgot about friction, air drag, and veering initial velocities. Well, guess what. I didn't!" Almost everyone was confused and uncertain by Twilight's 'nerd-talking' of her plan to win this game. Shadow Dragon and Sunset exclaimed firmly, "What she said!" Flash sighed as he took out another ticket, "Hopefully, this time, it works." "It will work, Flash. Have confidence," Twilight said calmly and confidently, "We'll win this. For sure!" Amused and impressed with teenagers' determination, Flim remarked, "You know what they say..." Flam finished with a smirk, "Hundredth time's the charm." Just as both Shadow Dragon and Sunset picked their rings up, Twilight helped positioning them on how they should throw theirs on the bottles. After careful observing and calculation, she smiled confidently while gave thumbs up to her friends. They smiled in relief. Just as Shadow Dragon and Sunset were about to throw the rings, Saber called out loud as he, Applejack and Terrorcreep have arrived at the scene. They both yelped before throwing the rings too high. They flew and knocked the high striker's bell before bounced off and hit on the stuff animals, which bounced and hit on both the son and his ice-cream plate, which spilled on him. The mother yelped in concern before start cleaning him up. "SABER!" Shadow Dragon, Twilight, Sunset and Flash exclaimed in annoyance. Having sweat-dropped, Saber gulped in fear, "Sorry about that. Didn't mean to mess with your close to win the game." "Other than that. Have you seen Fluttershy?" Applejack asked, "Nobody's seen her all afternoon. Her phone's goin' straight to voicemail." Terrorcreep hummed in concern, "I feared that something bad is happening to her…" "Lighten up, TC." Shadow Dragon said calmly, "There's not always a villain with Equestrian magic out to get us. We haven't seen any of our usual villains." "He's right. Fluttershy's probably somewhere else." Sunset said in agreement. She looked on her pocket. She yelped, "Do you have tickets we could borrow? Kinda used 'em all." Applejack looked up and glared at Flim and Flam, who both innocently whistled while kicking the pile of tickets behind the wallpapers. Applejack sighed, "I can't believe you both were playing the rigged game. I'm kinda surprised Vignette even let them in, despite their history of troubles." "What troubles?" Flim asked innocently. Flam nodded in agreement, "We never did anything wrong. After all, doing business at the carnival is just an opportunity." Almost everyone sighed in annoyance as Saber's team passed most of their tickets to both Shadow Dragon and Sunset. They both smiled happily before turned their attention to the game stall. They showed their determined looks. "I don't like to lose." Sunset said dryly. Shadow Dragon narrowed his determined eyes, "Neither do I. I'm gonna win that prize!" Twilight and Flash groaned in annoyance while facepalmed. The lavender teenage girl grumbled, "I can't believe that they're still on it." "No kidding," Flash agreed in annoyance. He hummed, "Maybe we should get some snacks. I'm kinda hungry. How about you?" Feeling her stomach growled as well, Twilight sighed, "Yeah. We should. Can we follow you guys? Maybe we can find Fluttershy at the food stall." Applejack nodded, "Sure. We'd better let Shorty know where we're going to." "Got it covered," Saber said calmly while typing on his cellphone. He smiled, "Shall we?" Popping out from the trench coat's pocket, Ace cheered, "Yes! Lunch time!" After leaving production garage, Shorty was heading straight to the food court, meeting up with his friends as they began searching for Fluttershy. He arrived at the rollercoaster, where he came across to worried and scared Rainbow, who was looking at the rollercoaster. "Rainbow Dash?" Shorty asked in surprise. "Huh?! Oh! Shorty! Hey!" Rainbow greeted nervously, "I was just about to ride this thing for, like, the tenth time already!" "Oh! Please! You couldn't even get back in after Fluttershy left!" Aqua disagreed as she exited out from the entrance. She cheered, "Woo! I like it!" Rainbow groaned as she gave 'shush' gesture, "Shhh! Nothin' outta you!" "Have you both seen Fluttershy?" Shorty asked in concern. Aqua shrugged a bit, "Not since the first try with rollercoaster. She said that she left and meet up with Vignette." "I think about an hour later, TC went off to find her," Rainbow answered calmly. Shorty hummed suspiciously, "Thanks for the help. Keep me in touch for anything." "Sure," Rainbow said happily. Just as Shorty left, she called out, "If you see her, tell her she still owes me a rollercoaster ride!" Customers, riding the rollercoaster, shouted excitedly and happily, scared Rainbow. This made Aqua shook her head in annoyance while crossed her arms. Saber's Team headed off to meet up with Shorty at the food court. By the time they arrived at the food court, they bought their own meals and drinks. They met up at the larger round table, where they were waiting and eating their snacks and drinks. After eating his hamburger and fries, Flash sighed calmly, "That sure hit the spot." Twilight nodded, "Yeah. This is the break I could use from playing that crazy rigged game. I almost lost my mind. Thanks, Flash." Flash smiled, "No problem. Besides, I also need to take a break from Sunset's crazy competitiveness. When she gets that, there's no stopping her." "No kidding. Shadow Dragon is the same," Twilight agreed. Giving some thoughts, she laughed a bit, making everyone looked at her. She cleared her throat, "Sorry. I find something funny about Shadow Dragon and Sunset. For someone get so competitive with each other, they sure act like a married couple." Flash chuckled a bit, "Yeah. I know the feeling. I wonder if they realized it or not." Applejack scoffed, "Probably not. But I know you two seem to be attracting with each other." Flash and Twilight looked surprised yet blushed in red. Saber hummed, "Yeah. I do notice of that as well. I think you two are kinda perfect match." "No! We're not!" Twilight and Flash protested in concern. Everyone then laughed amusingly. They flustered, "I mean we're already got our dates! I can't just dump and fall for her/him! We're just friends! Nothing happens between us! Honest!" "Of course, you do…" Saber teased amusingly. Flash groaned, "Oh yeah?! What about you two?! I'm sure you got a thing for her!" Saber yelped in concern, "Hey!" "I agreed with Flash. It's not just you, Saber," Twilight said calmly. She turned and teasingly looked at Applejack, "I know you liked him too. You did ask my advice on how to get him liked you!" "Twilight!" Applejack snapped in annoyance. She groaned, "Did you have to go and ruin that?!" Twilight stuck her tongue out playfully, "That's what you get for teasing me. Since you guys are here, just tell him, AJ." Flash nodded playfully, "Yeah. Tell her, detective." Both Saber and Applejack blushed in red while looking at each other, "Well, I-!" "Aren't we supposed to find Fluttershy?!" Terrorcreep asked impatiently and annoyingly, alerting everyone else. He groaned, "But instead, we had lunch." "Sorry, Terrorcreep," Applejack apologized. Saber sighed, "Don't worry, we'll find her soon. We're just waiting for Shorty to get back here soon." "And here I am," Shorty said firmly as he arrived at the scene. He continued, "Sorry, I'm late, guys. I came across with Rainbow and Aqua. I asked them if they know where she was." "Did they know?" Terrorcreep asked impatiently. "No. Wherever she is, Vignette knows about it," Shorty said seriously and firmly, "Who knows what kind of lies and troubles she may have caused." Everyone sans Applejack, Saber and Tailtech was confused and uncertain about why Shorty was so aggressive and angry about Vignette. "Should we asked why you have a grudge against Vignette?" Twilight asked. "No. You may not because you won't believe in me," Shorty said sternly and annoyingly, making everyone concern and confused. He continued, "Enough of that. We should focus on finding Fluttershy." "But how on earth are we gonna find her?" Flash asked, "She could be anywhere." Shorty hummed thoughtfully, "We're gonna split up. We cover the places as much as possible. And also, alert others about it. Keep in contact." Terrorcreep nodded, "Even if we have to tear down the places." "Let's not get to extreme, okay?" Twilight suggested firmly, "We don't want to get into trouble." "Twilight, we're already in trouble the moment we met Vignette," Shorty said sternly and seriously, "So, right now, finding Fluttershy is important. If you do come across with Vignette, don't trust her." Everyone was uncertain and worried of what Shorty's suggesting, but they knew that finding Fluttershy is important now. They split into groups now. Applejack, Saber and Ace head to the north. Twilight and Flash returned to Shadow Dragon and Sunset to get their help. Shorty and Terrorcreep went to the west. They prayed that they can find her soon. Shorty and Terrorcreep arrived at the bumper car ride. They both were looking at the map, which has some red colored x-marks on some places they have come across. They both hummed in concern and worried tone. A sudden whistle was blown got their attention. Both Shorty and Terrorcreep looked up and found Pinkie, dressed in green-yellow shirt, blue jean and greenish flat hat, stood before them. "No frowning allowed!" Pinkie scolded Shorty and Terrorcreep seriously. She hummed seriously before throwing the Equestria Land map into dumpster. She continued, "As 'Fun Inspector', I'm a little concerned about what I'm seeing here." "Pinkie, get lost!" Terrorcreep snapped angrily, "We don't have time for your stupid game!" "Hey! This is not a stupid game!" Pinkie snapped, feeling offended. She continued proudly, "Fun Inspectors are freelance! And don't get paid! And totally made up by me earlier today when I saw a little girl crying because she dropped her ice cream, and I said to myself, 'Pinkie Pie, this place isn't as fun as it could be!' Do you like the uniform? I made it out of things I found in the trash, but you can't even tell!" "And we don't care!" Shorty snapped dryly, "Now stop wasting our time and move aside! Tell our friends to find Fluttershy now! She's missing!" Shorty pushed Pinkie aside as he and Terrorcreep continued walking down the street while searching for Fluttershy. Pinkie screamed in frustration, "Why do you keep changing the script?! This is not how it supposed to happen!" Pinkie then noticed Blazefist and Laxtinct were hiding in the bushes and trash cans as they were following Indigo and Thunderlane, who were chatting about going to another skyride. This annoyed her to blow the whistle, scaring them both off. She then chased after them at once. Twilight and Flash have just returned to the game stalls. Upon arriving to Flim and Flam's game stall, they found Shadow Dragon and Sunset madly throwing couple of rings on the bottles. But so far, they missed. Flim and Flam have become tired and annoyed with it. Flim unenthusiastically remarked, "Ugh. Wow." "So close." Flame agreed unenthusiastically. Both Shadow Dragon and Sunset became shocked and mad yet tired before dropped on the floor by sliding against the counter table. Twilight and Flash approached and checked on them. "Guys! How long have you been playing this game?!" Twilight asked in concern. Shadow Dragon groaned in exhaustion, "I… I don't know… Two or twenty rounds…" Sunset groaned in pain while looking at her fingers, "I can't feel my fingers anymore." "Oh boy…" Flash said in concern. He then looked at Flim and Flam, "They never win, did they?" "Sorry, sir. They didn't," Flim sighed in frustration. He picked the stuffed parakeet as he spoke, "Maybe it's time to stop." Flam nodded in agreement, "Uh, how about you just take a parakeet and go home?" Angered and annoyed, Shadow Dragon snapped while knocking the parakeet off, "It's not about the parakeet!" The parakeet got thrown straight at the mother and her son. He grabbed it before awed happily and warmly, thanking them for giving him a free trinket. Shadow Dragon groaned angrily as he tried to grab the ring but stopped by Twilight. She spoke warmly and gently, "Shadow Dragon, stop. You don'tt need to continue with this. I don't care if you win or lose. As long we date and have fun together, I'm happy enough." Seeing Sunset wanted to play, Flash grabbed and spoke gently, "You too, Sunset. This game is rigged. How about we get some ice cream?" "Great idea, Flash. It will cool our heads off," Twilight agreed. After carefully thinking, both Shadow Dragon and Sunset sighed in defeat as they realized that their loved ones were right. "You're right," Shadow Dragon agreed calmly, "We need to chill." Sunset nodded, "Yeah. We never even had a chance." Shadow Dragon and Sunset threw the rings off. They, Twilight and Flash headed off at once. Unbeknownst to them, their rings landed on one bottle together. This surprised Flim and Flam. "Well, would ya look at that?!" Flim exclaimed in surprise. Flam nodded happily, "A winner every time!" Seeing how the rings landed on the same bottle, the customers and teenagers chattered happily as they approached and wanted to try it out. Shadow Dragon and his friends couldn't believe of what they just saw. "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!" Both Saber and Applejack have passed by the teacup ride while looking around to find Fluttershy. But so far, they can't find her anywhere. They both became worry and uneasy about the situation now. While looking at the map, Applejack groaned in frustration, "We've searched almost whole north and couldn't find her?! Where could she be?" "No clue…" Saber admitted in concern. He turned and found the security guard coming out from security room. He smirked, "I might have the idea." Applejack looked at where he was looking at. She looked worry and uneasy, "Please tell me that you're not really thinking about going in?" Saber smirked slyly, "Yes, I am." "How are you gonna do that?" "I am the detective, remember?" "Your dad and Mr. Skysoar are not gonna happy with your tricks." "They don't need to know it, AJ." Saber and Applejack approached to the security guard, who just closed the door to his security room. He turned around and found them stood before him. "Oh. Can I help you?" Security Guard asked calmly. "As matter of fact, yes, you can," Saber said calmly. He then shows his detective badge to the security guard, who looked surprised and amazed. He continued firmly, "I am Detective Saber Dragoon and this is my partner. We're from DSPD – Dragon Storm Police Department. I'm gonna need your security room to check on the footage. We're on the investigation that involved with missing girl." Security Guard yelped in surprise, "Oh! Of course! I'll open the door right away, detective." He quickly opened the door. He smiled, "Here you go, sir and madam. If you need anything, call me. I'll be there to help you out." Saber smiled, "Will do. Thanks." Security Guard turned and left the security room. Saber and Applejack entered the security room. They then approached to the security workplace that has computer with keyboards and monitor screens. He took his seat and began his work on the computer, searching for Fluttershy. "Saber, you shouldn't have lied to him!" Applejack scolded. Saber sighed, "Calm down, AJ. I didn't actually lie. In fact, I did say we're on investigation for the missing girl. And so, what I said is the truth." Applejack hummed in concern, "I supposed it's true. Is being detective and police very tough?" Saber nodded, "It is. And sometimes, you have to do something bad for the greater good especially when you're being an undercover cop." He noticed something on the monitor screen, "Well, hello. What do we have here?" "Did you find her?" Applejack asked. Saber shook his head firmly, "More than that, Vignette is taking Rainbow Dash to production garage. Aqua is nowhere to be seen." Applejack looked concern and uneasy as she looked up and found one of monitor screen shown Vignette and Rainbow arrived at the production garage. Saber and Applejack looked at the monitor screen carefully. At the side of production garage, both Vignette and Rainbow were discussing and talking with each other. "Rarity and Applejack told me you're the coolest, smartest friend who knows what's the opposite of down." Vignette remarked playfully, "What's up!" Rainbow looked surprise as she answered, "Heh. True." "I have a bold new vision for the Rainbooms that you are going to love!" Vignette said calmly and amusingly, "The Throwbacks! Capital T, #TBT, Throwback Today. Or for short, T.C.T.H.T.B.T.[T.B.T.], pronounced "ta-ca-ta-ca-ba-ta"! You are going to represent the touchstones of cool throughout the ages!" Rainbow smirked, "I like it so far, and I assume I'll like what you say next." Vignette smiled as she suggested, "'Rainbow Dash: '50s Sockhop Sweetheart"! Poodle skirt, adorable blonde hair. How do you feel about shaving your head? I only ask 'cause you'll definitely have to do it for the wig." Rainbow looked annoyed by her proposal as she answered, "Uhhh... there is no way anyone is shaving my head." "B.Y.B.B.?" "B.I.A.A.T.B. But I already am the best?" Vignette looked annoyed as she answered dryly, "Well, if you insist on just, ugh, being yourself or whatever, then at least let me take a picture of the real you." Just before Rainbow could ask, Vignette has already pressed the button as her magical phone zapped on her. The rainbow-colored teenage girl disappeared in digital fading magic. Vignette sighed, "Honestly, why can't anyone just agreed with my vision? She and her friends remind me too much of my ex-employee. He's such a drag. Always keep arguing and disagreeing with me. Why can't I just get what I want?!" "Maybe you're just a spoiled rotten brat!" To her shock and fear, Vignette looked back as she found angry Aqua was about to slam a punch on her. Instead, the PR girl barely dodged down, allowing the punch struck and dented on the wall. Vignette panicked, "A-Are you crazy?! You could have killed me!" Aqua gave a death glare at her, "That's the point, bitch…" Vignette looked scared and worried. She continued, "What the hell did you do to my prized pupil?! Did you kill her?!" Vignette panicked, "W-What?! No! I didn't! I really didn't! I just take picture of her, and she just disappeared out of sights!" "Don't you dare lie to me!" Aqua snapped angrily. She screamed in anger as she almost slammed her punches on Vignette, who barely dodged and evaded the attacks. She growled, "If you're telling the truth, then bring Rainbow and Fluttershy back now!" "Fluttershy?! I don't have her!" "Don't lie to me! She told me and my friends that you were going to talk with her! I can bet one thing what you did to her when she refused." Vignette gulped, "Look! I'm sorry! I really want them to follow my vision! That's all!" "Maybe you should learn how to compromise!" Aqua snapped angrily, "Return her to us before I clobber you down!" Without hesitation, Vignette panicked and used her magical phone to zap on Aqua. She digitally disappeared at once. She panted heavily and fearfully. "T-That was close," Vignette said in concern and fear. She then looked at the phone, "I really need to be careful. Or else, I'd be sending to jail for good." Saber and Applejack looked shock and concern of what they just saw. "Looks like we have found the answer," Saber said in concern. Applejack looked shock and concern as she remarked, "I can't believe Vignette zappin' my friends with a magical phone! Why?!" "I don't know," Saber admitted in concern while copying and transferring the data to his phone, "But Shorty was right about one thing. She's not really an honest and also spoiled girl for want to get what she wants. We're gonna need this proof to show who she really is. She's not gonna hide her true colors from us." Applejack looked worry as she remarked, "I'd never thought she could do something like this. But I wasn't expectin' somethin' so magic and evil. She makes 'em disappear, but where do they go?" Rainbow and Aqua got teleported in the middle of white chamber. They both looked shock and disbelief of their predicament. "Aw, man! Are we trapped in a magical phone?" Rainbow asked angrily. Aqua sighed, "Looks like it. So, this is what it feels like trapped in nowhere?" "You have no idea. Still where is Fluttershy?!" Rainbow asked in concern while looking around of her surroundings, "If we get zapped here, then she has to be somewhere!" ZAPPED! Both Rainbow and Aqua yelled in pain as they felt electrocuted shock on them. They both dropped on the floor hard. They're both unconscious while moaning in pain. The mysterious attack revealed to be cybernetic and mechanized Fluttershy, who looked emotionless and dark, armed with her electrical gauntlet to fire on them. Mr. Cobblepolt arrived at the scene as he chuckled, "That'd be all, little girl. That'd be all…" To Be Continued… Review and Suggest… > Dignity (IV) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- After shockingly discovered of what Vignette has done to their three friends, Saber and Applejack called both Shorty and Terrorcreep about their discovery. They including Tailtech meet up with them at the security room, where they all witnessed video footage. They especially Terrorcreep were furious and angry about it. "That witch…" Terrorcreep snarled while clenched his fists, "I'll tear her apart for what she has done!" "Terrorcreep, wait!" Applejack called. It was too late. Terrorcreep has already exited out of the security room's door. Everyone sighed in frustration about him getting so reckless. "Hate it when he does that," Tailtech grumbled. Saber sighed, "You know what they say – people go crazy when they're in love." "Either way, we have the proof now. There is no way Vignette can get away from this," Shorty said firmly. He pressed computer's keyboard, accessing and downloading the video into his thumb-drive. He narrowed his angry eyes, "I have her now." "Okay." Applejack said in concern. She whispered to Saber, "Think he might be a little… mad over what Vignette did to him?" Saber hummed in concern, "That's what worries me…" At the Production House, the designers and assistants were doing their best to finish up with the float parades. And at the same time, Rarity was inspecting and checking on their progress with the work as she wants to make sure that the float parades are ready. Vignette was following Rarity as she was checking on her progress. And at the same time, the rest of Mane Eight and Dragon Strike Force were gathered at the rock'n'roll parade, preparing and setting up with the instruments. However, Blazefist and Laxtinct weren't with them as they were looking out for Indigo Zap, who is still dating with Thunderlane. Rarity called out while signing off on the assistant's paperclip, "One hour until wheels up, everyone! The light parade waits for no one! Tick-tock! Tick-tock!" Vignette laughed a bit with a sly smirk, "Big night tonight, Rare. Perhaps the biggest of all time. Definitely the biggest of your life. I'm excited for you." "You're not worried?" Rarity asked in surprise before ranted in concern, "Not that I'm worried. Unless you're worried, in which case, I'm very, very worried!" Vignette reassured Rarity, "There's no room for self-doubt. You've gotta get rid of it faster than a pleated cargo skort." Her remarks made Rarity and even herself shuddered a bit. She turned and approached to the dress mannequin, which has light red dress with ribbon and diamond pattens on bottom part. She remarked calmly, "So I love everything you've done here. One thought – do we want the costumes to have lights on them? You've got time. I think we should start from scratch." "Huh?" Rarity asked in concern. Vignette approached her as she remarked calmly, "B-T-Dubs, every amazing fashion vlogger and Snapgab celeb's gonna be here tonight! No presh." Vignette turned and headed off to her office while leaving Rarity alone. Looking uneasy and tensed by the situation, Rarity ranted in fear, "Really? 'Cause I'm feeling presh." She then found assistants were working on the dragon float. She demanded, "Why am I seeing neon pink and yellow on that dragon's tail?! Is this a beast of legend or a safety vest?!" After capturing Rainbow and Aqua, the scientists and technicians were now making the surgery on them to become the machine like Fluttershy in their secret lab. Both of them groaned and moaned in pain as they felt the machine parts are placing on them. Mr. Cobblepot returned to his own office, where he was making the contact with Machine Dragoon on the monitor screen. "How long do I need to wait, Cobblepot?" Machien Dragoon demanded impatiently. Nervous and worried, Cobbeplebot answered, "Soon, Master Machine Dragoon. Soon. Once Vignette zapped all those troublemakers, then we will finish the surgery for good. We will soon commence the conquest on this bloody state and then retake our homeland." Machine Dragon growled softly yet suspicious, "This better be good. I will and cannot allow that treacherous mutant get away with this. I will retake my land and finish what Dark Curse has started…" Back at the Production House, just as she finished her inspection on float parade, Rarity met up with the rest of her friends. The designers were measuring on Sunset, Twilight and Pinkie's bodies for the designs and making the costumes for them to use. Shadow Dragon and Flash were discussing about new martial art skills to perform. Icy was happily brushing and combing Flare Tiger's hair. Happy to see her friends have made it in time, Rarity was annoyed and upset as she was looking at Applejack's bass. Rarity sighed, "I suppose Applejack and Shorty have better things to do than final fittings and sound check!" "Don't be mad at them." Sunset said firmly and seriously, "They're still out trying to find Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy, who aren't here either, by the way. And also, Saber and Tailtech are with them too. And don't get me started with Commander Blazefist and Laxtinct spying on their sister's dating." Flash shuddered in disgust, "Creepy…" Rarity snapped in frustration, "Do not tell me who to be annoyed with!" Everyone was concern for Rarity's tension and pressured for handling the float parade. They never realized how stress she really is. Pinkie approached and comforted Rarity, "I know you're stressed, Rarity, but I'm sure you've got something totally amazing up your sleeve! You did remember to wear sleeves with amazing things up them, right?" "STOP!" Applejack's voice called out loud. The designers and workers stopped at once. They all turned and looked at Shorty, Saber, Applejack and Tailtech have just entered the production house. They all found everyone was looking at him. "Oh! Uh, not everybody stop. I just meant our friends." Applejack explained nervously yet awkwardly. The designers and workers looked at each other as they shrugged before resumed their works. She continued, "Y'all keep doin' what you're doin'. Sewin' up them, uh, clothes." Just as Shorty and his friends approached to Rarity, she then demanded, "Where have you all been?!" "For a good explanation," Applejack said seriously yet concerned. She sighed in concern, "I don't know how to say this but-!" "Nobody go anywhere with Vignette, understand?" Shorty said seriously and firmly, confusing his friends. "Is there any reason why we don't?" Icy asked in confusion Shorty explained firmly, "Because she knows what happened to Fluttershy, Rainbow, Aqua and even Terrorcreep." Inside the office, Vignette overheard of Rarity and her friends' conversation. She became worried and scared that some of them have somehow figured out of what she has done. She has to think a way to dispose the evidence. She then spotted a phone charging on the desk. She smiled slyly and amusingly. Just before she could approach it but stopped when a Thunder Dual Axe, emerged out from the shadow, aiming at her neck. "Trying to hide the evidence, huh?" Terrorcreep's voice asked darkly as he emerged out from the shadowy corner. He glared at her, "You either becoming desperate or stupid to think that you can get away from this…" Vignette groaned, "How did anyone figure out what I've been doing?" "Because you're predictable and stupid. Pop quiz, Valencia," Terrorcreep said dryly, "What happens to a phony if she doesn't return my girlfriend and others back." Vignette looked scared and terrified as she was backed to the window's wall. She gulped, "She lose her face?" Terrorcreep narrowed his angry eyes as he delcared, "She lose her head! Bring Fluttershy back now!" Terrorcreep screamed in anger as he swung and struck his axe at Vignette. She screamed before barely evaded his attack when she tripped and fell to the ground hard. Just before he could do anything, she quickly used her phone to 'zap' on him. He disappeared at once. Vignette panted heavily, "I really need to be careful." Vignette quickly approached to the office desk, where she took the phone out from the charging wire while kept her own phone in her pocket. Now she has to make Rarity and her friends believed that Shorty and his team's evidence is fabricated. Impatiently and more concern with her job, Rarity said firmly and seriously, "You can explain yourself after the parade. I'm sure-!" Shorty interrupted, "You're not listening, Rarity! Vignette is evil!" As in cued, Vignette just exited out from her office, alerting and scared Rarity to look behind. The designer became tensed and worried, feared that she's gonna get fired for her boyfriend's ranting and insulting her boss. Almost everyone looked worry as well. Saber and Tailtech groaned in disbelief about Shorty blurted out in anger and frustration due to his past work with her. Applejack facepalmed as she remarked, "We told him to show them the video first before blurting out." Saber shook his head in concern, "No kidding. Normally, you would do that because you were too honest." Applejack gave him the glare as she commented dryly, "I could either agree with you or punch you for saying that to me." "Shorty, maybe we should get them somewhere else to talk and show the video to them," Tailtech suggested in concern, "The last thing you want is-!" "No, Tailtech," Shorty said firmly while glaring at Vignette. He continued, "It's time that she comes in clean and admit for what she has done to our friends and me. She's not gonna get away with this now." "Would someone tell us what's going on?" Shadow Dragon demanded firmly, "What is this about?" Shorty narrowed his angry eyes as he explained, "Vignette has done to Fluttershy. And not only her, but also to Rainbow, Aqua and even Terrorcreep. This is no doubt that you have the Equestrian Magic in your phone." Vignette laughed amusingly, "Oh, honey, delusional isn't your color. You're an autumn. And also, we only just met." Refused to let Vignette's lies, Tailtech stood beside with Shorty as he shown his laptop, "If you're so innocent, then how do you explain this?!" Vignette was a bit of nervous and worried but remained calm as much as possible. Just as he turned on his laptop, he placed the thumb-drive and access the security footage of what happened to Fluttershy, Rainbow and Aqua. Everyone especially Rarity was in shock and disbelief of what they're watching. They all couldn't believe it. "No way…" Icy remarked in concern. She looked at Vignette, "Did you really do it?" Vignette approached and looked at the video carefully before smiled uneasily, "Nope. This looks fake. That doesn't look like me." Noticing her smile making weird movement, Applejack spoke firmly, "Vignette, the truth, please." "She lied?" Rarity asked in shock and disbelief. "Yeah, she did," Applejack confirmed, making Vignette nervous and worried. She continued, "Vignette, don't make things difficult and tell everyone the truth. Just bring Fluttershy and others back now." Saber nodded firmly, "You can't swindle your way out of this." Still nervous and uneasy, Vignette remained calm while holding her cellphone as she pretended to look at her fan messages, "I still have no idea what you're talking about." "Still playing innocent, huh?" Shorty asked angrily. He then quickly snatched her phone as he declared, "Time to show the world who you really are, fraud!" Thinking of why Vignette casually holding her phone despite she knew that would expose herself for the action she has made, Saber realized of her true motive. Saber gasped in concern, "Shorty, don't!" Ignored his warning, Shorty declared while aiming the phone at mannequin, "Say goodbye to your mannequin!" Just as he pushed the button, the phone just snapped the picture of it. Everyone but Saber was confused by the situation. Shorty looked at the phone in disbelief and shock. He grumbled and ranted angrily as he tried to use the phone, trying to prove that Vignette has Equestrian Magic on it to make his friends disappeared. Vignette smiled calmly yet teasingly that she got away with it while Rarity was annoyed and embarrassed by her boyfriend's rant and action. "I don't get it." Applejack said in confusion and worried, "We saw the footage. It's real." Saber sighed in frustration, "That phone is a fake. She's hiding the real on somewhere else. Good thing that you didn't do it and screw up badly." Applejack groaned while crossed her arms, "I can't help that you really enjoy making fun of me because I'm a farmer while you're a detective." "Just want to make sure you be smart and stayed out of troubles," Saber answered calmly and firmly. He sighed while looking at Shorty, "Damn it, Shorty. That is so not him to lose his cool over issues with her." Applejack nodded, "Yeah. She really hates her a lot." "You have no idea," Tailtech admitted in concern. "Damn it!" Shorty snapped in frustration. He turned and glared at Vignette, "You tricked me! Where are they?! What did you do to them?!" Vignette groaned, "You're so overdramatic. I just saw your friends. They're in wardrobe, and they're fine." "Are you sure?" Rarity asked in concern. Vignette approached to Rarity as she remarked calmly, "And looking good in your costumes, by the way." Rarity blushed and flustered by Vignette's remarks. She turned and looked at Applejack, "I'm disappointed in you, Applejack. I thought we're friends." Shocked and angered by Vignette's deception, Applejack answered dryly, "Were, Vignette. I know who you really are. And I can tell that you never liked having me here because I'm a farmer. Am I right?" Vignette scoffed, "No, I didn't, at first. But I warm up to you for days. I really like you, AJ." Applejack gave a firm glare, "So did I…" "Guys, enough with this ridiculous fight," Rarity interrupted. She turned and looked at Applejack, "Applejack, the parade is less than an hour away, and-!" "Rarity!" Shorty shouted in frustration, shocking Rarity to turn and look at him. He glared at her, "Is your stupid parade important to you?!" Rarity was annoyed as she snapped back, "Of course, it is! This is my life work! My moment! I am not gonna lose this chance!" Disbelieved by Rarity's answer, Applejack spoke up, "I know you didn't just say that about your missing friends." Saber nodded firmly, "She's right. Our friends are missing. And you rather focus on your career than just helping them. How could you say that?!" "Vignette said they're alright. What is wrong with you all?!" Rarity asked angrily and frustratingly. Realizing that she can't stay there for long before she gets expose, Vignette cleared her throat as she remarked, "I'm gonna let you guys sort this out amongst yourselves." Just as Vignette snapped her fingers before waving her hand at them, the designers and workers quickly returned to their job before they get into trouble. And at the same time, she watched Rarity and her friends have the big argument. "Applejack, admit it! You don't care about my parade!" Rarity said angrily. "What?! No! That's not true!" Applejack protested, "But our friends are more important than parade! We have to find them now." "Nothing is more important than parade." Rarity disagreed firmly, "Why do you keep insisting that they've gone missing. Vignette said-!" Saber interrupted firmly, "Vignette's lying. Did you really think we make everything up like this?" "Yeah. The video is legit," Tailtech insisted while checking on his computer. He did the thoroughly scan on the footage. The screen shown 'clear'. He continued, "And for the record, my computer can tell the difference between real and CGI. And this is the real deal." Rarity sighed in frustration, "I don't care if this is the real or fake. But what I need to do now is finish up my parade." Applejack was in disbelief as she asked, "Rarity, weren't you listening? Vignette's done somethin' to our friends!" Shorty nodded, "Don't you care about our friends?!" "Is this about our friends or about you and Vignette?" Rarity questioned, shocking yet angering Shorty. She continued, "Ever since she gave me this opportunity, you've been upset, angry and jealous because she sees my potential but you don't." Shorty was in disbelief as he questioned, "What are you talking about?" "Did you honestly think I'm stupid?" "Well, I'm hoping that you're not. You're smarter than this. You're better than this. And now, you're falling for a fraud, who's been lying and tricking people, employees and customers to think that she's the role model they want to look up." "She is the role model I looked up to! She helped me get the job! How could you not see that and thinking the worst about her?!" "Because she is the worst person to deal with! And she's not even your friend! How could you even blind about this?!" "Am I or you?" Rarity questioned angrily. Angered and furious, Shorty demanded, "Want to say that again?! I dare you!" Shorty almost want to attack Rarity but Saber and Tailtech held and pushed him back. The detective exclaimed, "Shorty, calm down! Don't do this!" "What has gotten into you?" Shadow Dragon asked in concern. "Rarity didn't mean it. You know she would never say that," Applejack assured Shorty. She turned and looked at her, "Rarity, tell him that you didn't mean it." "I meant it, Applejack." Rarity answered dryly, shocking everyone. She continued with her narrowed angry eyes at Shorty, "Why are you so against Vignette? What has she ever done to you?" "You really want to know? Fine, I'll talk!" Shorty snapped angrily. He turned and glared at Vignette as he exclaimed, "Vignette ruined my career and credits. I'm the one, who helped her out with filmmaking, model and even posting Snapgrab pictures. If not for me, she wouldn't become famous. And the worse is that she stole and sold my mentor's Equestria Land to Cobblepot." Everyone but Saber, Tailtech and Applejack gasped in shock and concern. Vignette remained calm while looking at her phone. "That's ridiculous. I don't even know you at all," Vignette rebuffed, "Though you reminded me of some crazy and stupid kid for doing his way than my own style. After all, I did come up with idea." Shorty groaned in anger and frustration. He was about to argue but Rarity spoke, "Shorty, just stop! Stop for sprouting lies and blaming on someone else. The only reason why your career is ruined is because you're not smart and good as her. And the worst about you is you're not happy or even support for me about this. You're a horrible boyfriend!" Angered by her insult, Shorty gave Rarity a big slap on left cheek, causing her to fall to the ground. She has the slap mark on her cheek. Everyone gasped in shock and disbelief of what they just saw. Vignette was in shock also as she didn't expect him to go that far. "Okay. This shouldn't be in the script…" Pinkie remarked sadly and hurt, "I-It's too much…" "Shorty!" Applejack scolded Shorty. "She asked for it," Shorty exclaimed in anger. Rarity was hurt while looking at him. He continued, "The only reason she hired and flattered you is that you helped her get more attentions for herself! She never cared how good, creative and fashionable you are! And she doesn't care about helping the world, donation, charity or even appreciating how hard work and creative her workers have done for her or anything! Once she got what she wanted, she will throw you like a garbage! And believe me when I said this to your damn thick skull – everything she said about you or anyone is not true! YOU'RE NOT SPECIAL! YOU'RE A NOBODY! YOU'RE A TOOL TO HER! YOU DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT PEOPLE WHO LOVED YOU!" Everyone gasped in shock and disbelief of how Shorty talked to Rarity. The fashionista was completely hurt by his word. How could he say that to her? "Damn it, Shorty…" Saber said in shock and disbelief. Applejack implored in concern, "Shorty… Y-You don't mean it-!" "I meant it, Applejack. Every word of it," Shorty said bluntly and coldly. He turned and glared at Rarity, "Consider our relationship ends today. Enjoy your new friendship with the bitch." Rarity was too shock and hurt to say anything. Shorty bluntly and angrily walking and passing by her, without looking at her. He walked straight out of the door. As he opened it, he closed the door by slamming very hard. Applejack wanted to help and comfort her best friend, but halted by Saber, who shook his head firmly and seriously. Applejack insisted, "B-But she needs-!" Saber interrupted and whispered to her calmly, "Don't make things worse for Rarity now. Others will help her, not us. Shorty need us now." Tailtech nodded, "Yeah. He's making his mistakes." Though wanting to help Rarity badly, Applejack felt that Saber and Tailtech were right. She might not be the right person to comfort her now. She nodded reluctantly. Both her friends headed off and chased after Shorty. Just as Applejack was about to go, she stopped and looked at Rarity, who was still on the ground while looking down. Unable to face her best friend, Applejack lowered down her hat to half of her face while whispered in guilt and reluctant, "I'm really sorry, Rarity. For all this…" Applejack quickly headed off and went after her friends, hoping to talk some sense into Shorty for what he has done. Completely hurt of what has happened to them, Rarity sobbed in tears before getting up and heading off to the office at once. Twilight called in concern, "Applejack, wait!" And at the same time, Sunset called her friend, "Rarity, come back!" Just as Sunset and the rest of her friends jumped off from the float parade, they were halted and stopped by Vignette. "Outta way, Vignette!" Shadow Dragon snapped. Flash nodded firmly, "Yeah, our friends need us now!" Vignette smiled calmly, "Waiting is for waiters, ladies. We're better off without them." "We?" Twilight asked suspiciously. "The Throwbacks, formerly known as the Rainbooms." Vignette explained. Everyone became suspicious and annoyed by Vignette's claim, Sunset demanded, "Hang on. Why does 'we' include you?" "Why do you mean 'formerly'?" Flash asked suspiciously and firmly, "You can't just simply change their bands for your liking. The band has been officially formed since the Battle of the Band." "Yes, I can," Vignette said arrogantly yet casually, "Obviously, somebody needs to fill Applejack's spot. And since it's so last-minute, we are lucky to have someone with as much vision and talent as moi." Flare Tiger hummed suspiciously, "I do not like that tone of yours." "Fill Applejack's spot?" Shadow Dragon asked suspiciously yet angry, "You can't be serious." "And also, what makes you think that we want the replacement," Icy questioned. "And not just that! We'll be playing a song I wrote!" Vignette said calmly. "A song you wrote?" Pinkie asked in confusion yet suspiciously, "I don't remember you ever sing a song or even write one. Not to mention, I don't think we actually invite you to join our band?" Sunset hummed suspiciously while thinking of what Applejack's team has said earlier, "You're right, Pinkie." She glared at Vignette, "One – you are not in the band! And two – we are not replacing Applejack for performance." "And you know what else?" Twilight added dryly and suspiciously, "Applejack never lied or even make things up, like, ever. I know her well." Shadow Dragon narrowed his suspicious eyes, "And don't forget, Saber is a good detective and Tailtech is good with tech too. They never make mistakes." "I wonder if Shorty's issues with Vignette is true," Flare Tiger added in concern yet suspicious. Thinking carefully of the security footage and even Vignette's recent behavior, Sunset asked firmly and seriously, "So all that stuff she said about you…" Vignette shrugged casually while readying with her phone, "Eh. Is true." Just before Vignette could snap the picture of them, Icy threw her icy shard on it, throwing to the ground. She yelped in concern before looking at the angry teenagers as they prepared to punch her on face. "Big mistake, Vignette," Flash said seriously and firmly. Sunset nodded, "You're gonna be sorry for the lies and breaking Rarity's heart." "We're giving you a last chance," Shadow Dragon said firmly and seriously, "So you either return our friends back or else, we give you something unpleasant." "Shadow Dragon, no. We will not kill her. She hasn't committed mass murder or kidnapping," Twilight scolded Shadow Dragon. Everyone looked at her with annoyed looks. She remembered what Vignette has done. She sighed, "Of course, she did kidnap our friends. But no killing." "Well?" Flare Tiger asked dryly, "I'd take his offer if I were you. My cousin isn't nice guy to play with." "Okay. I'll do it," Vignette agreed reluctantly. As everyone remained on guard and keeping their eyes on her, she got up slowly before dusting her clothes. She quickly picked her 'real' magical phone, aiming and taking picture on them, "Psyche!" Just before anyone could do anything, Vignette snapped the picture of Sunset and her friends before they magically digitalized and disappeared, with Pinkie shouting of 'Not this again!' Vignette sighed in relief that she got the Rainboom and their friends into the phone. She then looked at her magical phone, "Now let's see if this Equestrian magique is all it's cracked up to be." Looking at the picture profile of five Rainboom Members, Vignette looked through the dressing wardrobe and accessory selection boxes before customizing and putting them on these members. She smiled warmly and happily about the phone's app as she finds it to be useful tool for her work. After she completed her choosing, she summoned and placed the holographic forms of five Rainboom members on the floating parade. Sunset worn ridiculous blue princess-like gown with tiara playing her guitar. Pinkie, in her formal suit, smiled weirdly and readied to play the drum. A gothic and gangster version of Fluttershy was playing a guitar. A weirdly happy girl Rainbow also played her blue guitar. Twilight is now wearing the sportswear to sing happily. "That's better." Vignette remarked happily. She then looked at her phone as she sighed, "I wish I'd had this thing years ago! Think how perfect my life could've looked!" After crying over the fight with Shorty, Rarity emerged out from the office's door. Just before she could do or say anything, Vignette squealed happily as she grabbed and held Rarity close to her. "Rare, you're not gonna believe this!" Vignette exclaimed happily. Looking at the holographic form of five Rainboom Members, Rarity was confused and concern as she asked, "What? What is this? What am I looking at?" "Your friends, but better!" Vignette explained happily, "Now we can make the parade exactly how I want it!" "How you want it?" Rarity asked in disbelief and confusion, "You said you hired me for my vision!" Vignette scoffed, "Well, I needed your vision to bring out my vision. But now there's an app for that." Rarity turned and looked at the holographic forms of her friends. Just as she waved it, the hologram caused some fizzling. This alerted and scared her to turn and looked at her. She realized that her friends were there, so as the Dragon Strike Force. "Vignette, wh-what is going on here? Where are my friends?!" Rarity demanded. Without the care and concern, Vignette answered casually, "Like, trapped in the internet as zeroes and ones or erased from existence or something?" She shrugged casually with intonation of 'I dunno' sound, "Mmmm." "What?!" "See, like, my phone became magique or something, and now it has this power where whenever I take a picture of something and it disappears. And then I can customize them with a swipe of my finger and make them real again, or... real enough, but hey, blah-blah-blah, O.M.G., I'm boring myself to death just talking about this stuff." Rarity could not believe what she has heard. She also realized that Shorty, Applejack, Saber and Tailtech were actually right about her and what she has done to the rest of her friends and even missing ones. She has truly a fool of herself for choosing Vignette over her boyfriend and friends. She is not only shocked and disbelief but furious of her manager's deception. "Bring back my friends this instant!" Rarity demanded firmly and seriously. Annoyed and disappointed by Rarity's tone, Vignette sighed while setting up with her magical phone's camera, "Fine. If you wanna be with them so bad, I'll do you one last favor. You're welcome." Vignette aimed her magical phone's camera at Rarity, who just gasped in shock and concern. The manager activated and snapped the camera on her. Is this the end of her?! To be Continued… Review and Suggest… > 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… END… Review and Suggest… Main Casts: Tabitha St. Germain: Rarity Ashleigh Ball: Applejack, Rainbow Dash Sam Riegel: Shorty Thinking Will Friedle: Saber Dragoon Kate Higgins: Tailtech Tegan Moss: Vignette Velancia Isaac C.

The relationship between Shorty and Rarity has become strained and broke up due to ex-manager's influence and deception, and haven't seen or spoken to each other for a long time, though they would get involved with Equestria Magic situation. Inside the garage; Tailtech was wiring and attaching his computer with webcam on top of laptop's monitor screen, placing speakers on both sides and microphone on the front. He even has set and placed the black space with glittering stars and moon background. He was completed the preparation for livestream. Though he was excited and happy for his own livestream; he was actually timid, shy and scared for his first time. Feeling anxious and worried, he feared for embarrassment and humiliation of himself. This frustrated and angered him to slam his head on the table before muttered and grumbled about his problem. Unbeknownst to him, two familiar figures slowly creeped and approached him from the back. They then made 'boo' noise, scaring Tailtech off. He turned and looked behind as he found Wheelie and Brains were laughing out loud and happily. This annoyed and angered him. "That was not funny, guys!" Tailtech scolded the Minicons. Slowly calmed himself down, Wheelie scoffed, "Chillax, kid. It was just a prank." "Yeah. No need to get so uptight, kid," Brains agreed. Tailtech groaned, "Yeah. Whatever. You're lucky that I don't have Typhoon Blaster with me to shoot you guys off." Tailtech grumbled in annoyance and frustration about the Minicons' pranks. Metalgear was guiding and leading Twilight, Sunset and Spike into the garage; where they found what has happened. This embarrassed and annoyed the amber-colored teenager. "Wheelie! Brains! Stop bullying Tailtech!" Sunset scolded two Minicons. Wheelie panicked, "Yeesh! You don't have to be mad at us!" Brains nodded fearfully, "Yeah. We were just having fun." "By scaring him, no doubt," Sunset said suspiciously and seriously. She sighed as she approached and checked on him, "Tailtech, I'm so sorry for what those idiots have done to you. I'm sure they feel awful for it." Tailtech sighed while still looking at the computer, "It's okay. It's just a stupid prank." Noticing him being tensed, Twilight approached and talked with him, "Hey, you seemed tensed. Is there something wrong?" Feeling embarrassed, Tailtech sighed in defeat while looking at the computer, "Yeah. I was trying to do livestream for my Engineer Club." Everyone awed in surprise and amazement while looking at him. He looked nervous and uneasy to look at them. He yelped in surprise, "Yeesh. Not too close, guys." "Sorry," Twilight apologized, "We were surprised and excited that you would do livestream. I mean you're more of technician and programmer than having interest in society." Sunset nodded in understanding, "She has the point. I'd never expected you to do this kind of livestream." "Well, I thought I would like to do something different. And of course, I would like to get new members for the club since we have very few members here," Tailtech admitted sheepishly. He sighed, "Besides, I kinda have a problem. I-I'm… camera shy." Twilight, Sunset, Metalgear and Spike sympathized Tailtech while Wheelie and Brains were annoyed and disbelieved about it. "You've gotta be kidding me," Wheelie said in disbelief. Brains groaned, "Just what we need – another Fluttershy? Can't we just have one guy isn't afraid of anything?" Sunset whacked Wheelie and Brains' heads hard as she scolded, "Mind your manners, you two!" She turned and looked at Tailtech, "If it helps you feel comfortable and confident, we would like to help." Tailtech was surprised. Twilight nodded in agreement, "Yes. After all, we have done with this filming and livestream many times before. We can help and teach you of how we do it." "Or maybe we can be part of it," Spike suggested, "Having some friends hanging and having fun would make livestream interesting." "That sounds like a better idea, Spike," Metalgear supported it, "Master Tailtech will feel less pressure and uneasy to do his livestream." "Really?" Tailtech asked hopefully and happily. Everyone including the Minicons nodded happily and warmly that they agreed. He smiled, "Thanks, guys. You're the best. So, what do I need to do?" "Do something that will blow the world's mind," Brains suggested amusingly yet cockily, "And I mean blew them up! Knock them dead!" "You nut, Brains! There is no way that could work," Wheelie opposed. He then shown his charismatic and gentle looks while blinking at Sunset, "You need to be charismatic, charming and especially being gentleman to woo some girls of how the inventions can do. Guys likes ladies. No way they could resist." This annoyed and angered Sunset to grab and whack her a wrench on both Wheelie and Brains' heads, making them fell to the ground hard. Everyone sighed in annoyance about the Minicons' ridiculous ideas for livestream. "That's gotta be the stupidest idea I ever heard," Sunset remarked in disbelieved and embarrassed, "Where in the Equestria did they get this nonsense idea from?" Twilight sighed, "I rather not find out. Maybe we should do presentation in order such as focusing on which one technology and invention is the best and interesting. Talk about them for at least 5 – 10 minutes, you don't wanna bore them to death during one hour livestream." Sunset nodded in agreement, "Definitely. Maybe when you were doing explanation, then we helped and demonstrate the technologies and inventions like lab assistants." "I'm not quite sure of that," Metalgear said in concern and uncertain, "You both are older than Master Tailtech. You should not be considered to be lab assistants. It feels like lead scientists. Perhaps, doing the presentation together instead." "That could work but we are doing the livestream," Sunset said in concern. She turned and looked at Tailtech, "Hey, Tailtech, what do you think?" After carefully thinking of what his friends have suggested, Tailtech gave a confident smile, "Guys, I might have an idea. This will be a teamwork, with the help of my special effects. This will blow up everyone's mind." Everyone was surprised by Tailtech's confidence. This even made Brains smiled happily to hear him say it. They wondered of how he would achieve it. For few hours have passed, Tailtech explained to the rest of his friends on how he would deal with his camera shy and how to make interesting presentation livestream. This surprised and intrigued them. They all agreed and worked together to prepare the livestream. With final preparation completed, Tailtech and his friends are ready for the livestream. Spike played as the cute puppy host to greet the viewers to the new channel before passing it to Tailtech. Still nervous and timid, he remained calm and confident to introduced himself, along with Twilight and Sunset as his supervisor. While he was introducing and showing off some of his inventions, two girls worked and demonstrated on how they worked, with the help of Wheelie and Brains served as DJ to rap and play some music, making the whole show interesting. They spent nearly 45 minutes to introduce and talk about "And finally, I wanna introduced to my latest and best invention I ever done in my life. My best friend – Metalgear," Tailtech introduced Metalgear, who humbly bowed before the webcam. He continued confidently, "Yeah. He maybe a robot, but to me, he's my greatest creation, but not as butler. He's my friend and faithful assistant." Metalgear nodded firmly, "Indeed. I am not just mere robots, but very much alive to think and feel. Tailtech has always been kind and gentle to me. And I am honored and touched by his personality. I will give my life to help and assist him in any way I can. After all, we are friends and team." Tailtech nodded, "Yes. We develop. We build. We create. And also, we make a better future for tomorrow. There's no stopping with this kind of progress. After all, this is what Engineer Club do. So, join the club!" With the push of remote control's button, Tailtech stopped the livestream. He and his team headed towards the computer and checked out on it. To their surprise, there were more likes and supports for the club. Some of viewers also wanted to join the club. "Now, that's what I called blow your mind," Brains remarked. Tailtech nodded, "Yeah. It sure does…" END… Review and Suggest… Main Casts: Kate Higgins: Tailtech Tara Strong: Twilight Sparkle Rebecca Shoichet: Sunset Shimmer Cathy Weseluck: Spike Derek Stephen Prince: Metalgear Tom Kenny: Wheelie Reno Wilson: Brains > S4E2: Detective Lessons > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- At the Dragon Barnyard, Saber and his friends, consisting of Applejack, Ace, Rarity and Tailtech were inside the detective's bedroom. Tailtech was checking and making sure his camera is in fully-charged and good condition for filming his project. Rarity was sewing and preparing some clothes for Saber, Applejack and Ace. Saber is now wearing a brown-colored detective suit with Sherlock Holmes' hat. Applejack dressed in a blue-colored police officer uniform. Ace worn a black T-Shirt with golden dragon symbol and shades. Rarity hummed happily, "Oh, you look gorgeous and perfect, darlings. You're ready for Saber's Detective Lessons!" Applejack was a bit embarrassed while looking at her uniform, "Gorgeous might be the understatement, Rarity. And I'm a bit embarrassed to be a cop." "Why is that, darling?" Rarity questioned. Applejack sighed as she admitted, "Well, one, dressing up like a policewoman might not be a good idea because some folks especially troublemakers may think I'm real. Two, I don't like getting into trouble with Saber's uncle coz he's the Police Chief of DRPD. And third, I felt like this uniform makes me look fat." Rarity groaned, "Everybody's a critique. Unbelievable…" "I think you look nice, AJ," Saber assured Applejack. Applejack blushed a bit while looking away from him as she scratched on her head's back, "Gee… Thanks, Saber. That's very nice of you to say that." "I meant it, my dear Apple Girl," Saber said charmingly. He turned Applejack around for him to kiss by lips. She returned it back to him. Ace awed happily to see it. Tailtech was disgusted to see mushy stuffs. Rarity was annoyed and irritated to see it as she doesn't want to be reminded of her relationship with Shorty. "Can we get started?" Rarity asked in annoyance and frustration. Saber and Applejack yelped in surprise, snapping back to reality. They both laughed uneasily before frantically panicked and agreed with everyone that they're ready for the film. Ace hummed 'Can't Help but Falling in Love with You'. Saber, Applejack, and Ace stood before Tailtech, who was setting and readying with camera to film while Rarity was standing by and ready for her role. Counting down on his fingers, Tailtech shouted, "Okay, everyone. We'll go in 5… 4… 3… 2… 1! Action!" Just as Tailtech began filming the scene, Saber and his team can start with their acts. Saber gave friendly salute and greeted, "Hello, everyone. The name's Saber Dragoon. I'm the detective and leader of Saber's Detective Lessons." "I'm Applejack. I'm his assistant and helper for helping and assisting him to solve some problems and cases," Applejack introduced herself. She then raised Ace up, "And this is Ace. Our mascot and little helper too. But don't let his size fool you all. He maybe cute and cuddly, he's really a smart, tough and feisty little fella as the rodent." Feeling offended, Ace snapped, "Hey!" "Sorry," Applejack apologized to Ace. She cleared her throat, "Say, Detective Saber, what's exactly is Saber's Detective Lessons are all about? Care to explain or the term for detective, elaborate about it?" Saber smiled, "Why, of course. I'd be glad to explain. But I require a guest for this show. Miss Rarity, would you like to be part of the show?" Rarity entered the scene while waving at the filming camera, "Why, hello there, darlings. It's a great pleasure to be part of the show. I will do my best to assist and help you with the Detective Lessons, Detective Saber." She gasped in realization, "Ooh! I got the idea. Maybe I should play Shadow Spade in this video as well. After all, she's a detective too. Wouldn't it be great?" Applejack sighed while facepalmed, "Rarity, you're the guest in this show, not fashion show." Rarity sighed in annoyance, "I know. I just want to make things interesting." "We'll get that on the next episode. For now, we focused on how to be a good detective," Saber said calmly and gently. Rarity sighed in defeat while nodded in agreement. He looked at the camera, "Sorry about that, folks. Now with Rarity is here. I believe that she has concerning and disturbing case that needed to be solve. Care to explain to us?" "Why certainly," Rarity agreed calmly. She turned and faced to the camera. Adding some eyedrop on her eyes, she the cried melodramatically and tearfully, "Oh! Opal! Where are you, my dearest little kitten?! How could I live without you?! Please! You must help find her before it's too late! Save her!" Everyone was a bit of annoyed and disbelieved by Rarity's melodramatic acting with tears of sadness. Nevertheless, they continued with the show. Saber cleared his throat, "Well, you've come to the right place. We'll help you find your cat." "Well then, what are we waiting for? Let's get a move on!" Applejack exclaimed excitedly, with Ace nodded happily. Just before Applejack and Ace could do anything, they were held back by Saber, who remained calm yet firm and serious. "Uh, what are you doing?" Saber asked in annoyance. "Look for the cat," Applejack answered in confusion. Saber rolled his eyes as he remarked, "Good thing that we're on the show for learning. Ladies and gentlemen, get your notes ready for the learning. Don't be Rainbow Dash." Saber and his team moved and arrived at Rarity's house, where they were inside her bedroom. They were looking and checking around, searching and looking for Opal (possibly). Tailtech was filming at Saber and his team. "Now for the first step is finding the clue," Saber explained firmly and calmly, "Clue can be anything related to the case. If you find something suspicious or interesting, it's best to investigate and learn what's really happened here. So, best to find out what happen to her is to start where she was at. As Rarity put it in her words, Opal was sleeping in her crib, just before our lovely customer left this room for her shopping." "Uh, how do we know which one is the clue? All this place looked so clean," Applejack said in concern and uncertain. She then noticed on her friend's table, which has a bit of mess due to spilling painting on the wet paper. She added, "Except the table. Quite the mess, Rarity." Rarity hummed in concern, "It wasn't like this before." As Saber looked carefully at the mess on table, he and his team heard the whistle noise. They all turned and looked at the purple-colored rug, where Ace was waving at them to come to him. They approached towards him. He pointed at it, which has the trail of paws, leading straight to the sofa. "Clue!" Ace cheered. "Well done, you two," Saber said calmly and pleasingly. He turned and faced to the camera, "Now, the second step is to analyze the clue and figure out what really happens here by theorizing and guessing on how it goes." Rarity groaned, "Saber, I told you before Opal is missing." Saber shook his head and explained, "True, but how it happened. That's the better question." "Care to explain, Detective Saber?" Tailtech asked amusingly. "Sure." Saber looked at the trail of paws and spilling paint on table. He then explained thoughtfully, "Just as you said, Opal was sleeping in her crib until she heard the noise from the table. Whatever it was, it got her attention to jump on the table, spilling water paint on the table before chasing after it. She left the trail behind. It is now leading straight to-!" "Window!" Applejack exclaimed while looking at the window. She approached and checked on it. She then spotted some trails on the ground, "There's more trails." Saber smiled, "Step three. Follow the trail, it might lead you to Opal. And find out what's really going on." "What are we waiting for? Let's go already!" Rarity exclaimed impatiently. Exiting out of Rarity's home, Saber's Team followed the trail of paws, which is leading them straight to downtown. Following the end of trail, they have arrived at their destination. They found themselves at the supermarket, which surprise and confuse them. "So, what's next?" Tailtech asked while filming on his team. Saber cleared his throat, "Step four, find anything suspicious or talk with witnesses. They might have an idea to know what happen to her." Rarity sighed, "I just hope she's alright." Applejack patted Rarity's back, "Don't worry, Rarity. We'll find her." Saber's Team began their search for Opal. Ace was sniffing out on Opal Scent's. Applejack and Rarity talked with the customers and bystanders if they have spotted the cat or not. Saber looked around to find some clues. 10 minutes have passed, Saber's Team regrouped and have discussion about their findings on Opal. "So, anything?" Saber asked firmly. "We've talked to some bystanders and witness," Applejack said firmly, "They did spot Opal here." "Apparently, she was chasing after couple of mice all the here." Rarity added. She groaned, "I didn't know my house is infested with mice!" Saber revealed some items such as a piece of pink hair, cheese crumbs and empty bottle of milk. He explained, "I found more clues. Apparently, someone was here and did something to Opal and mice." Applejack hummed, "The old lady did mention that Opal was chasing some mice around the girl. She then somehow managed to 'talk' with them by offering food and drinks to them." "And the only person, who could do that is…" Rarity gasped in realization, "Fluttershy!" Ace made some squeaky rat noise, getting his friends attention. He then pointed on his nose before sniffing out loud. He waved and gestured them to follow him. He ran off at once, followed by them. As Ace was walking down the street for 5 miles and then turned to left, Saber's Team arrived and entered the alley, where they found Fluttershy was taking care of the animals. She added more milk into the bowl for Opal to drink while feeding cheese to mice inside the cage. She chattered happily with them. Spotted her friends, Fluttershy gasped and greeted, "Oh hi, girls." "Oh my! Opal! There you are!" Rarity exclaimed happily as she grabbed and hugged Opal tightly, making her cat yowled in pain. Departing, she then scolded her cat, "Don't you ever do that again! I'm so glad that you're alright." She turned to Fluttershy, "Thank you so much, darling." Fluttershy smiled, "It was nothing, Rarity. I was just passing by until Opal came out of nowhere, chasing these poor mice. Luckily, I managed to stop them in time. I led them to alley, where they can get some privacy with their meal." Applejack hummed thoughtfully, "That explains everything. The mice did come out and were doing whatever they want until Opal spotted them. She then chased them off but not without making a mess on table. They've been running down the street until they came across to the market, where Fluttershy just exited out of supermarket. She then stopped them from doing cat-mouse game by giving them a meal and drink. She then led them to here for their meal." "That sums it up," Saber nodded in agreement. He turned and looked at the camera. Giving a thumbs up, he declared, "And that's final step. Make the conclusion of how it begins and ends with your mission. And that's how you do it as detective. Enjoy it!" "And cut!" Tailtech called out, "Now that's the wrap of the film!" Almost everyone cheered out loud happily over the Detective Lessons. Fluttershy was confused and uncertain of what happens. "Uh… What just happen?" Fluttershy asked in confusion.

People were usually enjoyed shopping, playing arcades, eating and drinking their meal, watching the films, as well as chitchatting and hanging out together happily. That is until… BOOM! The explosion occurred from the fashion shopping center, alerted and scared the bystanders especially ladies running out from the shop. Within the fashion shopping center, Spiritcurse – a lighter purple-colored older woman with dark red curvy yet flowing hair worn Chinese Magician Robe and Da Ji – a slight younger lighter peach-colored woman worn a pink-colored short T-Shirt, which leaving her bellybutton, dark crimson sleeves, long brown cowgirl's pants and lighter ballet scarf, were checking and trying out many fashions. Da Ji was holding a small yellow T-Shirt with Hawaii Logo on her chest while looking at the mirror, "What do you think, SC? Do I look good or am I good?" Spiritcurse scoffed while crossed her arms, "Looks ridiculous if you ask me." "Yeah, right. You're no fun. As always," Da Ji taunted. She hummed curiously while holding the red sleeveless T-shirt with orange-colored X-mark on it. She smirked, "Ooh. Maybe this looks better than yellow." Suddenly, a blast hit both T-shirts, shocking both Da Ji and Spiritcurse. They turned and looked back at the entrance, where they found Twilight, Sunset, Rarity, Fluttershy, Shadow Dragon, Flash, Terrorcreep and Flare Tiger stood before them. They all worn their Magical Armor Power while readying with their weapons for the fight. Da Ji groaned while glaring at her crisped T-Shirt, "I really like this shirt. A lot." Rarity scoffed, "I'll be honest with you, darling. Neither of them suits you." "If you don't like the comment, don't mind us," Fluttershy sheepishly stated. She found Terrorcreep glared at her. She asked in confusion, "What? I was just being nice." "Alright, witches, you're gonna love prison clothes than here!" Sunset declared firmly while readied with her Blazing Sunset War Fan. She looked at her friends, "Ready?" "Ready!" Everyone agreed. Spiritcurse scoffed while waving her fingers like summoning magic, "Now this is what I'm looking forward for. Come forth, minions!" As commanded, magical portals appeared out of nowhere, summoning and launching Orc Soldiers and Werewolf Scouts to the ground. They all roared wildly and madly before charged and attacked Sunset and her team. They all fought back against the enemy troops while trying to attack Spiritcurse and Da Ji, who stand aside as they focused on looking through some clothes. Using both swiftness and evasiveness, Sunset blocked and deflected the Orc Soldiers' attacks while throwing and knocking them at Flash, who swung and thrust his Whirlwind Spear at them. Rarity used her Diamond Barrier to block and deflect the attacks from the enemies while using her Diamond Gatling Blasters to fire and blast the archers off. Using her Time-Space Magic, she teleported everywhere to assist her allies by attacking them from behind. Using the Rabbit's Speed and Lion's Might, Fluttershy fought and knocked the enemies as hard and fast as she can. Using Element of Thunder, Terrorcreep summoned and fired his Thunderstorm on them as well as swinging Crimson Lightning against Werewolf Scouts. Shadow Dragon and Twilight, armed with their Sparkle Star Sword and Darkness Blade, fought against couple of enemy troops while covering each other's. While looking through some clothes, both Spiritcurse and Da Ji looked behind, taking a peek from their back. They found Sunset and her team were beating their minions, annoying them both. "Grr… I really can't stand them winning so easily," Da Ji grumbled. Spiritcurse nodded in agreement. Wavering her greenish-colored magical aura around her finger, she smirked slyly, "Well then, my little friend. Let's even the odds, shall we?" Carefully looked at Spiritcurse's magic aura, Da Ji made 'ooh' astonishing tone, "Me like it. Hit them hard, Spiritcurse!" "With pleasure," Spiritcurse agreed. Just as her magical finger completely glowed brightly, she aimed hers at Sunset's Team. She snickered, "Let's make this more interesting. Have a blast of nightmares, my dearies." Spiritcurse blasted her magical beam straight at Sunset and her team. Flash spotted the laser beam, scaring and alerting him to shout: "GET DOWN!" As commanded, Sunset and her friends barely moved aside. However, the beam headed straight and hit Twilight's back, prompting yelled in pain and agony. She fell to the ground hard, paralyzed and unable to move. And at the same time, her pupils are covered in green while forming some mists on her eyelashes. "TWILIGHT!" Everyone exclaimed in concern and fear. Sunset and her friends were fending and holding off the enemy troops, allowing Shadow Dragon quickly to check on his girlfriend. Checking on her pulse from neck, he also found Twilight breathed heavily and frantically while quivering and shivering in cold feet. Her face is covered in sweats while looking very scared, shocked and dreaded. She muttered 'Please, don't leave me… Don't leave me…' "Something's wrong with Twilight! She's hyperventilating!" Shadow Dragon exclaimed in concern and fear. Hearing her friend's concerns, Sunset nodded to Flash, who nodded understanding as he quickly spun and swung his Whirlwind Spear to knock the enemies off. Turning her attention on paralyzed Twilight, Sunset touched her friend's hand. She then felt a shock from the touch, making her withdraw at once. "What happen?!" Shadow Dragon asked in concern. "I… I don't know…" Sunset admitted in concern and uncertain, making Shadow Dragon worried. She explained, "Her mind… It's completely chaotic and so messed-up like she's been traumatized…" "Traumatized? From what?" "I can't be sure. But I did take a glimpse. She thinks we might be leaving because of her being corrupted by magic and turned into Midnight Sparkle." "She's still suffering from that?! I thought she got over that." "Hey. Subconscious happens to bring that back if the Fear Magic is strong. I would too if mine still thinks about becoming She-Demon." "You're not, Sunset!" Flash disagreed while holding the spear against the Orc Soldiers' blades. "How? How do we save her?" Shadow Dragon asked in concern and worried. "I don't know," Sunset admitted in concern while looking at Twilight's hyperventilation. She turned to Terrorcreep as she asked, "TC, can you remove the illusion from her mind?" Blocking Orc Soldier's axe, Terrorcreep answered, "No! It doesn't work like that. If it were my magic, then I can." Sunset groaned, "I hope I'm right, which it's gonna hurt me a lot. I have to reach her somehow." Though uncertain of how she's gonna do it, Shadow Dragon firmly nodded as he trusted her to do it. He stated, "We'll cover you." "Okay. Don't get hit by Fear Magic," Sunset reminded Shadow Dragon, who nodded understandingly. Shadow Dragon returned to the battlefield as he assisted and helped his friends to fend off the Orc Soldiers and Werewolf Scouts. And at the same time, they were doing their best to avoid getting hit by Fear Magic from Spiritcurse and Da Ji. Two dark sorceresses were enjoying it very much as they see it both entertainment and game. Sunset took a deep breathe while looking at her unconscious yet paralyzed Twilight. She muttered 'here we go'. Just as she touched her friend's hand, she yelped in pain, feeling electrical shock zapping her hand while trying to breaking through and accessing her friend's mind. And she succeeded due to her eyes went in white blank as she's now entering the mind now… Inside Twilight's Mindscape… Sunset's holographic form of avatar appeared and materialized in the unknown yet dark and destructive realm, filled with ruins of city and people's death. The sky was darkened with no stars, no moon or even no sun. She even found a familiar building stood before her – Canterlot High School, which is also in bad shapes as well. This shocked and frightened her. "What in the world…" Sunset asked in shock and concern. "Nerd… Weakling… Pathetic… Useless… Traitor… Annoying… Miss Know-it-all… Evil… Monster… Witch… Sorceress… Dark Angel… She-Demon… You will never be better… Who wants to be friend with someone like you… A freak… Never!" Hearing those words, Sunset became concern and scared for her friend's safety. She has to hurry and find her. By listening those 'horrible' and 'harsh' insults, Sunset followed the sound, through the corridor of darkness. So far, she hasn't found her friend but the harsh voices insulting Twilight. However, the harsh voices are getting louder, realizing that she's getting closer. Upon reaching the end of it, she found Twilight squatting down, crying in tears as she kept on hearing the insults. She also found her has Midnight Sparkle looks – her dark angelic wings, blue cyan colored unicorn horn, mad crazy hair-like and cyan misty rings-like around her dark magenta-colored eyes. "Twilight!" Sunset called as she ran towards her. She then tried to shake her a bit while calling, "Twilight, wake up! It's me! It's Sunset! I'm here!" Twilight didn't seem to respond as she was still squatting down while crying in tears. This shocked and concerned Sunset. She tried shaking her as hard as she can. "Twilight! Wake up! You have to wake up now!" Sunset pleaded in concern. "I can't… I can't do it… I don't want to… Just leave me alone…" Twilight said in tears yet hurt tone, making Sunset worried. "Twilight, why?! How could you say that?!" "You heard them. Everything they said about me is true. I'm nothing but a monster. I nearly destroy the world. I almost kill my friends. I don't deserve to have friends or even boyfriend like you guys." "No, Twilight. You're wrong. You deserve a better life. You deserve all of us. No matter what happens, we will always be your friends." Sunset comforted Twilight. Helping her to face and looked at her, she continued, "Don't let the fear get to you. None of them are real. And you know it." Still uncertain and scared, Twilight questioned, "How do I know if you're real?" "Then, why would I encourage and comfort you?" Sunset asked rhetorically yet calmly. Twilight sighed while looking down, "So, how? How do I overcome it? How do I get rid of my nightmares?" "Remember, Twilight… Remember…" The firm yet deep voice spoke, which surprise Twilight and Sunset. Twilight and Sunset turned back and looked up, where they found a familiar black-colored Cybertronian Knight with white cape and large metallic wings stood before them. He remained stoic yet firm and humble at them. "B-Black Alpha…" Twilight said in astonished tone. "You're here?" Sunset asked in surprise, "How?" "I am merely a spirit, watching over you." Black Alpha answered stoically yet calmly. He knelt down before Twilight and Sunset. He continued, "You spared me. You showed me and my kind mercy. And you reminded me of my happiness. You have saved us. Now it is my turn to help you." Twilight, still having doubts and concerns, asked, "How? How are you gonna help me? W-What can you do? This is Fear Magic, not some kind of chemical that you can get rid of." Sunset sighed, "Twilight's right. How can you help us? Have you done this?" Black Alpha remained firm and calm, "Yes. Like you said, it's not Fear Magic but chemical mixture of fear. Regardless of magic and chemical, they both actually function the same. There's a way to deal with it. And I'm confident that you can do it." "How?" Twilight asked in fear. "When I was injected by fear chemical, I was overwhelmed and affected by my nightmares. It was pain and suffering for me to bear. But I remind myself of what I'm fighting for. With this chant I make," Black Alpha explained firmly calmly, "I am Vengeance… I am the Knight… I am Black Alpha…" Both Twilight and Sunset were surprised and astonished by his 'chant'. The latter remarked, "Wow. That chant sounds badass. It sounds like battle cry." Twilight looked uncertain and concern, "I'm not sure, Black Alpha. I'm not you." Black Alpha remained stoic and firm as he stated, "Twilight, you do not be like me. Be yourself. Make your own battle cry. Then repeat this chant. And you will be free." "Do you really believe?" Twilight asked in hesitation. Black Alpha nodded firmly, "I do. Tell me. Who are you?" Twilight was uncertain and conflicted about using his chant to overcome her fear. By the touch of Sunset, she looked behind and found her giving her a confident smile. She turned and looked back at Black Alpha, who still has the stoic, soften into gentle and warm fatherly looks with firm. "You can do it, Twilight. Tell me. Who are you?" Black Alpha said firmly yet warmly. (Batman the Animated Series Theme Song) After hearing some encouragement, Twilight recalled all the adventures and missions she's been through with her friends and family. She realized that she wouldn't make this far if not for them. She carefully thinks about Black Alpha's chant, and what to say with her own battle cries. "I am the Magic… I am the Light… I am Twilight Sparkle," Twilight said firmly. Black Alpha nodded firmly, "Good. We do this together. It's time to overcome this nightmare. Nothing to fear. On three…" Twilight nodded firmly sand seriously. Black Alpha gestured and counted to three. They both then gave battle cries together. "I am Magic/Vengeance! I am the Knight/Light! I am Twilight Sparkle/Black Alpha!" Twilight and Black Alpha declared firmly. And to their surprise, three of them found a crack on the blackish background, slowly spread out a bit. "It's working!" Sunset exclaimed in surprise. "Don't stop! Keep going!" Black Alpha nodded, "Nothing to fear, Twilight!" Twilight nodded firmly and seriously as she is determined to break free from her nightmare. Both she and Black Alpha continued shouting and chanting firmly and determinedly, which slowly creating more cracks on the walls, the harsh and horrified voices slowly died down and the images slowly disappearing. Twilight also managed to break free from Midnight Sparkle's form. As Twilight and Black Alpha continued chanting determinedly, the reality of nightmare realm has completely formed the cracks before exploded into nothingness. Three of them are freed from the nightmare for good. "You did it, Twilight!" Sunset exclaimed happily. "No. We did it. Together," Twilight disagreed. "No. Sunset's right. You did it," Black Alpha corrected Twilight, surprising her. He continued, "What we did is give you a push you need. And you did it without me." "Black Alpha…" Twilight said in surprise. Black Alpha smiled beneath his mask, "Now go and kick his ass. Teach them a lesson." "With pleasure," Twilight agreed. She turned to Sunset, "You in?" Sunset smirked, "You bet." "Good luck, girls." Black Alpha says his goodbye. Just as Black Alpha faded into nothingness, everything immediately went in blank. Twilight gasped in surprise, waking up from the ground. Sunset helped her to stand up. They all turned and found the rest of their friends were still battling the enemies especially Spiritcurse and Da Ji, who were firing and shooting their Fear Magic at them. Shadow Dragon, Flash and Terrorcreep firmly and fiercely fought and battled off the enemy troops. Rarity used her Diamond Barrier Magic to block and deflect the beams while Fluttershy, using her Animal Ruby's Cheetah Speed, Elephant Strength and Weasel Agility, fend off the witches, who swiftly and quickly dodged them while teasing fired their Dark and Fear Magic at them. "I really have enough with Fear Magic, Sunset," Twilight said dryly and firmly. Sunset nodded, "Yeah. Let's do this." Using telekinesis, Twilight levitated couple of clothes and manikins to throw them at couple of Orc Soldiers and Werewolf Scouts, allowing her boyfriend and others to defeat them at once. Sunset jumped in and helped her friends at once. Using both her martial art skills and Blazing Sunset War Fan, she teamed up with Fluttershy swiftly and cunningly dodging and evading the magic blasts while parrying against Spiritcurse and Da Ji. And at the same time, Rarity helped summon her Diamond Barriers to protect her friends. After the soldiers have been dealt with; Shadow Dragon, Flash and Terrorcreep turned their attention on Spiritcurse and Da Ji, who were busy dealing with the girls. They charged and attacked the witches, who were forced to defense by dodging and evading their attacks while firing their Dark Magic at them. However, the heroes have proven to be fierce and fast for them to handle. While the witches were being distracted with readying their Fear Magic, Twilight levitated and tied up the belt on both legs and body. This allowed Shadow Dragon and Sunset to grab and unleash the Fear Magic on themselves. Feeling Fear Magic effects, Spiritcurse and Da Ji began suffering some hallucination of fear before they screamed and panicked in fear. Rarity scoffed, "Now, that's what I called 'give them the taste of their own medicine'." Sunset nodded, "Yeah. They'll think twice about using nightmare on us." "You okay, Twilight?" Shadow Dragon asked. Twilight nodded, "Yeah, I'm alright, Shadow Dragon. But there's something I wanna do now." (Batman Mask of the Phantasm Ending Song) On their way to Camp Everfree, Twilight and her friends went into the Cave of Thorteen Cybertronian Knights. They all brought the bouquet of red roses. They all stood before Black Alpha statue, which has the written stone stated 'I am Vengeance. I am the Knight. I am Black Alpha.' Twilight put the bouquet in front of him. Shadow Dragon bowed and prayed humbly before him in Traditional Chinese Style while the rest remained silent and looked at him. "Thank you, Black Alpha…" Twilight said calmly and gently. Shadow Dragon placed his hand over his girlfriend's shoulder, prompting her to turn and look at him and others. They all smiled warmly. She nodded a bit. She and her friends turned and left the cave. Unknown to them, their shadows merged and formed a familiar shadowy figure, watching over them. "I will always watch you, sister…" Black Alpha's voice spoke humbly.

And at the same time, Mighty Heart, now at the backroom, checking on what supplies to buy and restock for their home. The children and dog were bored and annoyed to listen to his ranting. Scootaloo yawned out loud as she is almost asleep. A sudden dope slap on her head has awoken her from sleeping. "Pay attention, Scootaloo! This is important!" Mr. Tao scolded Scootaloo. He cleared his throat, "Uncle Tao and Mighty Heart will be out for a while, you girls must-!" "Watch over the shop." Cutie Mark Crusaders interrupted in unison yet bored tone. Jade sighed, "We know, Uncle. You've told us couple of times." Apple Bloom nodded in agreement, "Yeah. I mean watching over the shop or even making some sales will be easy. It's same as selling the apples." Mr. Tao became skeptical and concern as he stated, "I don't know…" "Come on, Mr. Tao. We're the only girls you can count on. Besides, everyone's too busy with their schedule," Nyx insisted. "Besides, you and Mighty Heart are gonna go out for a while. Can't be that long," Scootaloo said confidently. "Yeah. We can handle this for a while," Apple Bloom insisted. Mr. Tao sighed, "I supposed you're right." "Hey, Mr. Tao. If we do make sales, do we get the allowance?" Sweetie Belle asked curiously. "Sell something, then we talk about your allowance," Mr. Tao said seriously and firmly. He then looked at the entrance. Impatient, he called, "Mighty Heart, are you ready or not?" "Yes, sensei!" Mighty Heart answered back. He just came out from the backroom's entrance. Holding the paper, he stated, "I have the list. We are ready to go now." "Good. Time is wasting." Mr. Tao said in pleased yet firm tone. He turned and looked at Cutie Mark Crusaders, "Remember, girls. Watch-!" "Watch the shop and no breaking antiques," Cutie Mark Crusaders and Spike interrupted in bored yet annoyed tone. Mr. Tao nodded firmly to them. Cutie Mark Crusaders and Spike waved goodbye while smiling at them. He and his apprentice returned the goodbye wave to them. They turned and exited out of the shop now. Seeing them left, Cutie Mark Crusaders and Spike sighed in relief and calmly. Scootaloo sighed, "I thought he'd never leave. Now we can finally have some fun here." Jade nodded happily, "Yup. No sisters and their boyfriends. No babysitters. And best of all, no one boss and mess with us. This place is perfect for us to have some fun." "Huh? I thought we agreed to help Mr. Tao to watch the shop?" Sweetie Belle asked in confusion. Scootaloo scoffed, "Yeah, I know that. Can't we have fun and work at the same time?" Apple Bloom hummed in concern, "I don't know, Scootaloo. You saw how serious Mr. Tao is. And you know what happens if we mess it up especially with his antiques?" Nyx nodded, "Yeah. Last time Tailtech and Twilight tried a new tech for Mr. Tao for spring cleaning, it ends up destroying the antiques. Laxtinct wasn't very careful with moving stuffs. Shadow Dragon did try to use his martial arts to capture them but he messed up badly. They all end up cleaning the shop while fixing the damages. Trust me, Mr. Tao shouldn't be mess with." Jade rolled her eyes in annoyance as she remarked, "Relax. We won't do like that. When I said 'fun', I was talking about card games or video games." "Or riding the scooter and skateboard?" Scootaloo suggested happily. Everyone glared at her. She scoffed, "Just kidding. Yeesh." "Yeah. I'm glad that Mr. Tao let me roam around here." Spike said in relief and happy. He scoffed, "Finally away from those crazy Minicons. I never ever want to help them with their weird tastes again." Nyx looked disturbed and uneasy as she remarked, "I don't think I wanna know." "Just make sure you don't touch and break anything, Spike. The last thing you want is that you get kicked out." Apple Bloom warned Spike. Spike groaned, "Don't remind me. That's the last thing I want if I ever done something wrong." "Alright. Let's get started?" Apple Bloom asked amusingly. Cutie Mark Crusaders gave each other a high-five and cheered, "YEAH!" Suddenly, the girls and their dog heard a doorbell chimed. They all looked up and found Octavia Melody arrived and entered the antique shop. "Welcome to Mr. Tao's Antique Shop. How may we help you?" Jade asked curiously. Octavia looked surprise yet stunned by the young children being saleswomen. She questioned, "Aren't you girls a little young to be saleswoman?" Cutie Mark Crusaders looked at each other for the moment. They all shrugged as they didn't actually bothered about it. Nyx answered, "Yes. Yes, we are." Octavia was surprise by the answer. She shrugged it off as long as she gets the antique. She spoke, "Well then, little ones. I don't suppose that your antique has an 18th Century Piano, owned by Ludwig van Beethoven?" "Ah… Who the-? What now?" Apple Bloom asked in confusion. "Hang on a second, miss," Sweetie Belle said calmly as she looked through the antique list carefully. She gasped, "Why, yes. We do have. Please follow me." Octavia nodded as she went and followed Sweetie Belle, who was leading her to the mid-cornered, near to the window. They found 18th Century model of piano, which surprised and amazed her a bit. "My. Is this the one?" Octavia asked hopefully. Sweetie Belle nodded in agreement, "This would be it, ma'am. This is a preserved and replica of 18th Century Model of piano. And also, you'd be surprise that it was made and named after Ludwig van Beethoven. We call it Beethoven Maestro Piano." "Really?" "Yup. It even come with some of his classical music notes especially when it involved piano. I'm sure you enjoy playing piano, right?" "Why yes, I do. How did you know?" "I like music too especially singing." "How much it cost?" Looking through the supply list carefully, Sweetie Belle hummed, "It costs 1,200 dollar." Octavia smiled in pleased as she looked through the wallet, "I'll take it." "Sold," Sweetie Belle said happily. Just as Octavia and Sweetie Belle returned to the counter, she called the Diamond Thug Trio via using the cellphone for carrying and delivering piano to her home. And at the same time, she used her family credit card to pay for it from the counter, which Sweetie Belle wrote down the receipt for her to take. Octavia turned and exited out the building, along with Diamond Thug Trio carrying and moving the piano out. The musical student waved goodbye to Cutie Mark Crusaders and Spike, who waved goodbye to her. "Thanks for coming," Nyx thanked happily. "Wow. That was something," Jade remarked in surprise. Scootaloo nodded, "Yeah. How on earth did you do that?" Sweetie Belle smiled, "Because I know music." Apple Bloom nodded in understanding, "That makes sense. You did enjoy singing and playing some music too." She then looked around of some antiques. She hummed thoughtfully, "Maybe we can do the same too." Jade nodded, "Yeah. How hard selling antiques can be?" Spike sighed, "Girls, has anyone told you not to use that? It brings bad luck to us." Nyx huffed while wavered cockily, "Don't be ridiculous. It's not gonna happen to us." Within 15 minutes, Cutie Mark Crusaders and Spike greeted and welcome the customers to the antique shop. Although they did their best to assist them to learn about the antiques and convince them to buy, the children were not familiar with some items especially talking about details, background and also reason. This disappointed and annoyed the customers about why the children become salesmen. Nevertheless, Cutie Mark Crusaders and Spike managed to sell some antiques to customers, who barely convince and agree to buy them. Cutie Mark Crusaders and Spike panted heavily. They're all exhausted from working especially explaining and pleasing the customers about the antiques they were looking for. "Guess it isn't easy as we thought," Scootaloo remarked in annoyance. Sweetie Belle nodded, "Yeah. We only know some of them. Others like Babylonia or Aztec we aren't very good at." "Tell me about it," Jade agreed. She groaned before slammed her head gently on the table, "How on earth did Uncle Kicker and Uncle Tao handle this kind of work? Man…" "I don't know. Shadow Dragon and Twilight did say that it require tons of research and understanding about ancient civilization, culture and customs. And there really need to be carefully studies before fully explain of what it really is," Nyx explained. She hummed thoughtfully, "For example, some of Chinese Vase aren't actually for flowers or good looking. They really actually for toi-!" "Wow there, Nyx! Don't say that! Not cool!" Jade exclaimed frantically and fearfully, "There are some things shouldn't be talk about." Nyx yelped before nodded in concern, "Yeah. Good point." "Well, we've managed to get this far," Apple Bloom said, trying to cheer up her friends. Showing some moneys in her hand, she smiled, "Check out how much money we make. We sold much of old antiques." Scootaloo nodded in agreement, "Good point. We did sell lots of junk." "Antiques, not junk. And some of them are very priceless and rare. They have to be treated with care, you know," Sweetie Belle corrected Scootaloo. "Then you wouldn't mind us shopping for free?" A cocky Irish voice asked amusingly, alerting Cutie Mark Crusaders and Spike. The girls and their dog looked up and found DJ Red, Clumsy Rat, Shades, Black Tiger and Tech stood before them. They all cracked their fists. Cutie Mark Crusaders became scared and concern to see the bad guys again. "Selling them in black market would make an easy money," DJ Red remarked. "Not to mention, stealing cash for our bonus," Shades added while stretched his arms. "Then, what are we waiting for? Let's just grab and get out of here!" Tech exclaimed impatiently. "Do we need to hurt the kids again?" Clumsy Rat asked in concern, gaining everyone to glare at him. He shrugged, "I'm just saying coz we got beaten bad by them especially that Master Zhao Long's crazy fighting panda." Black Tiger nodded in understanding, "True. However, they have no friends, no heroes and especially that insufferable panda to help them. We needn't need to be worry about it." "So, we're going do this or what?!" Tech asked impatiently. "Hey. Who's the boss, brat?" DJ Red asked in annoyance. Tech groaned in frustration. He nodded firmly, "Good. Let's grab and tied them up before they called for cops." The Dark Enforcers yelled out loud before charging straight at the Cutie Mark Crusaders and Spike. They all screamed in fear before split up, prompting the bad guys to follow and deal with them at once. Chased by DJ Red, Sweetie Belle went straight to the musical antique section. She quickly jumped and hid inside guitar case, which he easily spotted. Just as he opened it, he found the inside empty. Out of nowhere, she emerged out from the library, where she blew a loud trumpet at him. He turned to capture her but found her disappeared. From his back, she swung a banjo at his butt. He turned and grabbed her in time. She clapped the cymbals on his face, shaking and weakening him for the moment. She then tripped him to fell on the drum set to the ground. He got unconscious. Clumsy Rat and Shades chased after Apple Bloom and Scootaloo all the way upstairs before split up. The bad guys did the same thing. Just as a young cowgirl entered the bedroom, the dimwitted muscle man entered. Instead of capturing her, she slammed a large vase, which he struggled to get it off before he tripped and fell on the counter hard. And at the same time, Shades tried to grab Scootaloo, who was scooting around the upper level. She then spun him around to get dizzy before kicked him to slide down the stairs. Both the girls regrouped and gave each other a high-five. Tech chuckled evilly while readied and armed with blaster to scare Jade, who remained unimpressed and annoyed. This frustrated and annoyed the evil genius as he tried and use various kind of technologies and weapons to scare her off until he grab and arm with a wrench. This prompted Jade to charge and somersaulted over him before kicked him straight to the wall, getting knocked out. Black Tiger shouted wildly and firmly as he was attacking at Nyx and Spike, who barely dodge and evade the attacks while smashing and destroying most of antiques and even books. Eventually, they both got cornered, where the martial artist enforcer was prepared to finish them off. But instead, he got ambushed by Apple Bloom and Scootaloo, who grabbed him by face. Just as he tried to grab them, Sweetie Belle threw some marbles for him to trip, slip and struggle to balance. This allowed Spike charged and bite him by butt. Jade jumped and thrust her kick on his stomach while Nyx charged and rammed him by back, causing him to fall against the book shelf. The books fell on him, prompting Apple Bloom and Scootaloo to back off. Cutie Mark Crusaders and Spike regrouped and met at outside. They witnessed and found Dark Enforcers were defeated and knocked out. They all cheered out happily before giving high-five. "GASP! AIEYAH! What happened here?!" Cutie Mark Crusaders and Spike yelped in shock and concern. They turned and looked back, where they found Mr. Tao and Mighty Heart have returned from shopping. They both were deeply shocked and disbelief of what they just saw. Cutie Mark Crusaders and Spike giggled uneasily and nervously while shrugged, "Watch the shop?" END?

At the Skateboard Park, it was where Rainbow Dash and Indigo Zap performing their skateboards, along with couple of kids including Scootaloo. Using the videography camera, Tailtech was filming the whole scene. Aqua and her adopted older sister – Tigress were also there watching the performance. Skating towards the pole bar, Rainbow hovered and landed on it, sliding straight to the end. Indigo dashed straight at the cornered ramp to slide back. Both of them regrouped and dashed straight to the bench, where they hovered while flipped their skateboards. They then landed on the ground. They went straight to the large ramp, where they reached to the top and performed their own moves. They slide down the ramp, halting right at the center of skateboard. They stepped on the back of skateboard, prompting to flip up. They both got off before grabbing the skateboard and land on the ground. Just as Rainbow and Indigo Zap faced to the camera, the rainbow color-haired teenage greeted, "Hey, everyone! I'm Rainbow Dash, this is my best buddy – Indigo Zap." Indigo Zap scoffed with a smirk, "I wouldn't say 'buddy', pal. Coz you and I more like rivals. Plus, I beat you in the game." Her attitude annoyed the athletic girl. Rainbow pushed Indigo Zap aside and explained, "Anyhow… I'm super-stoked because today is the day!" "What she means is that you guys are gonna learn from us of how to skate. Think you can do this?" "Totally! This skateboard trick is gonna blow your mind! It's been a super-intense four weeks of training. Nothing but grinding, claw-stretches, shredding, and shredded lettuce!" Holding a lettuce, Rainbow took a bite on it happily yet proudly. While the children and even Scootaloo marvelled at her, Indigo groaned while shaking her head about this. "Seriously, sis. Did you train your kid to eat some vegetable on every video and show?" Tigress asked in annoyance yet amusement. Aqua stifled her laughter, "Well, eating vegetables is part of nutrient class. So, she has to eat if she wants to be fit for some sports. Skateboarding is the best example." "Right," Tigress remarked sarcastically yet unconvinced tone. "Some say it couldn't be done, but get ready," Rainbow remarked confidently as she dashed towards the children. She smirked, "'cause today, you're going to witness the first ever Tortoise Kicker Ramp Ollie!" Everyone turned and looked at the ramp, where Tank the Tortoise was on his own skateboard while wearing the helmet. He gulped in fear while looking scared and nervous when he looked down on the ramp. Indigo groaned in annoyance, "Wanna tell me why you think that tortoise can do with this skateboarding?" "I have the same thoughts too," Tigress remarked in concern, "I mean if you think about it, tortoises maybe slow, but they're not very agile and swift when sliding down the ramp. What was she thinking?" Aqua sighed, "There's a reason why she's a daredevil. Heck even I did warn her about this. She's gonna ignore me and do it. That's why we're here. Make sure nothing goes wrong." Ignoring her friends, Rainbow looked at Tank as she encouraged, "Time to bust out of that shell, Tank." Rainbow raised her hand before her pet tortoise. Though nervous and scared, Tank smiled warmly as he was glad that his owner has faith in him. He raised and touched his paw against hers like hitting a high-five. "Let's do this!" Rainbow declared. Indigo groaned, "This might be the worst stunt performance we might get." Rainbow scoffed confidently, "Wait'll you guys see this!" "Ooh. I am so excited…" Tailtech remarked sarcastically. He groaned, "I regret for filming the show…" Still nervous and scared, Tank firmly and calmly pushed the skateboard himself to the edge of skateboard ramp, surprising the children to gasp. Almost everyone was tensed and nervous to see it especially Rainbow squealed excitedly. Aqua, Tigress and Indigo remained firm and serious about it. Just as Tank pushed the skateboard over the edge, he slides down before rolling out of the ramp's before landed on the ground safely. The children were confused yet disappointed to see the result while Rainbow looked nervous about it as well. "Knew it," Aqua, Tigress, Indigo Zap and Tailtech remarked dryly. Tank looked upset and disappointed. Rainbow cheered, "Awesome!" The children followed her as well, though the rest of her friends sighed while shaking their heads for them to ignore it. "Not very surprise," Indigo remarked. "Don't worry. I'll add some sick special effects later." Rainbow commented as she held Tank up. She then whispered to Tailtech, "You can help me with that, right?" Tailtech hummed in uncertainty tone, "Well…" Rainbow pleaded as she grabbed Tailtech by collar, "Please, Tailtech! You've gotta make it awesome! For Tank! Please!" Tailtech sighed in frustration, "Okay. Okay. I'll do it. Yeesh. Stop pulling my collar, would you?" Rainbow yelped as she put Tailtech down. She apologized, "Sorry." "First thing first, I'm gonna need to make couple of shots on Tank," Tailtech said calmly. "Uh why?" "You'll see. I'll make some sic skateboard. Plus, I could use some help with skateboard performance too. Aqua, Tigress, Indigo, I could use some help." Aqua nodded calmly, "No problem. Let's go through with how to make the show good." "Ooh. This ought to be good," Indigo remarked amusingly yet sarcastically. Rainbow and her team have a discussion of how they wanted to make Tank's Skateboarding to look interesting and awesome as his owner through the use of storyboards. Once they understand how they wanted, Aqua and Tigress prepared the wires on Tank's skateboard while Tailtech looked on which angle to film, with the help of Indigo Zap and Rainbow testing the stunt moves. After carefully planning with the film, Rainbow and her team began the filming on every angle. With his determined looks, Tank pushed himself with skateboard off the edge of ramp. Aqua and Tigress pulled the wire, prompting Tank's skateboard moving in mid-air like flying. While performing his skateboarding, the tortoise made some of poses for fun. After completing with the film, Tailtech connected the camera to his computer, where he began editing on the film and even adding the special effects on it as well. After the complete of the work, everyone watched and awed in amazement to see it. From looking confident, Tank slide his skateboard down the ramp with good camera angle, followed by booster-like firing on back while flying on mid-air, and finally, he left his hoof up proudly and happily. Rainbow awed, "Awesome, Tank! Really awesome!" Indigo groaned, "Lame…" Main Casts: Ashleigh Ball: Rainbow Dash Minor Casts: Kelly Sheridan: Indigo Zap Christy Carlson Romano: Aquastroke G.K. Bowes: Tigress Kate Higgins: Tailtech > S4E6: The Craft of Cookies (Mystic Version) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- At the home of Pinkie Pie's, Tailtech and Metalgear were setting up the film set inside te kitchen while Pinkie and Icy were gathering some ingredients, utensils and bowls, preparing to bake some cookies. Both girls worn the kitchen aprons. All the ingredients, utensils and bowls have been set on the cooking table, along with Pinkie and Icy standing while stuffed toy Gummy and Tank were sitting on it. Tailtech and Metalgear were filming the whole scene. "Thanks for the help, Tailtech! You're the best," Pinkie remarked happily. Tailtech smiled, "Happy to help, Pinkie. Glad to film it." "Yeah. You're my favorite guy." Pinkie exclaimed while thumbs up at Tailtech. She scoffed, "Tried to call Shorty for help but he ignored my call. What a jerk!" "C'mon, Pinkie. He's a bit busy at the moment. You know, dealing with some of science projects and works to do especially some issues." "Yeah, right. But it's just sad and pain to see two of them haven't made it up." "Just give them time, Pinkie. I don't think they will get over it." "Ugh. Fine. But I'm doing this for Rarity. So, are we ready for the show or what?" "We are. Ready when you are, Pinkie." Pinkie nodded while giving thumbs up, "Got it, Tailtech." "Say. Think you can let me lead the cook?" Icy asked hopefully. "No!" Tailtech and Pinkie panicked. Icy groaned in frustration, "Why won't you let me take the lead of the cook? I wanna do it." "Because this is very important to me. We are doing a livestream on my cook. Can't afford to mess it up," Pinkie explained. Icy huffed while crossed her arms. She patted her head, "Hey. Next time, I'll let you take the lead. Making a root beer with ice-cream." "Root-beer with ice-cream? Really? Because I'm can make 'ice' for the drink," Icy asked in annoyance, making Pinkie nervous and worried. "A-Anyhow, let's get the show on the run," Pinkie said happily. She turned and looked at Tailtech, "Okay, Tailtech. Showtime!" Tailtech nodded as he readied with his camera. Metalgear checked all the props, making sure that they're ready for film. Since everything is in place, the android took a movie clapper in front of camera. "We're going in live… 3… 2… 1…" Metalgear counted down before clapped the movie clapper. "An action!" Tailtech shouted as he began filming. "Welcome to 'The Craft of Cookies' with me, Pinkie Pie and Icy!" Pinkie greeted warmly while looking at the camera, "In just one class, you, too, can become a Certified Cookie Master!" This prompted Tank smiled happily. She smiled, "Let's get started." "I'm guessing the first step is getting everything ready?" Icy asked curiously. Pinkie make a squee sound, "You betcha!" Pinkie and Icy gathered all the utensils and ingredients from the cupboards and cabinets. They placed them on table. "Yummy! Yes, please! Tasty! You're gonna be delicious!" Pinkie remarked happily. "So, step two is?" Icy asked curiously. "Now, step two – making cookies!" Pinkie exclaimed happily. Icy smirked as she gathered the ingredients, "That's easy! Cup of flour, chocolate milk, fruits, vegetable, chips, candies and gummies, right?" Pinkie looked nervous and scared, and even Tank looked uneasy as well. Icy was about to start pouring the ingredients but halted by her. "Yeah. That's not how it goes," Pinkie disagreed. Tank was about to eat the cup of sugar. She quickly grabbed it before pouring the sugar, followed by other list of ingredients, "Cup of sugar, tablespoon of baking powder, dash of vanilla, pinch of salt, and for our final ingredient, two Tank kisses!" Before anyone could ask, Pinkie give twice the peck on Tank's face, which magically create the magical hearts floating into the bowl. This surprised them. Picking and taking a bite on magical cream-like, Pinkie hummed happily, "Mmmm... Cotton candy. This is taaaaaasty!" "Uh… Pinkie, do I even need to know why and how you make Tank's love into cotton candy?" Icy asked in confusion and concern. She then looked at the bowl, "Is it even edible?" "Of course, it is," Pinkie confirmed happily. She looked at the camera, "Well, better edible than her cooking." "What was that?" Icy asked in annoyance. "Nothing." Pinkie quickly said in fear. Icy shrugged as she took another bite on magical cream. She hummed in surprise, "Wow. You've really outdone yourself, Pinkie!" Pinkie smiled happily, "Aw, thanks, Gummy! Now for the not-so-secret ingredient." "Gummies?" Icy asked while holding the packet of gummies. "Uh no. Chocolate." Pinkie corrected as she picked the bowl of chocolate from her fuzzy hair. She took so much on them, "Mmmmm… mmm… Taste delicious!" The more the pink-colored teenager eats, the lesser the chocolate chips are from the bowl. This makes everyone uneasy and worried. Icy was annoyed as she picked a baking spoon to whack Pinkie's hand, prompting her to yell in pain. "Why did you do that for?!" Pinkie demanded in pain. "The chocolate chips are meant for the cookies, right? Unless you prefer the gummies to fit in?" Icy asked dryly, making Pinkie nervous and worried. "Ooh. Right, my bad," Pinkie apologized. She groaned while holding her stomach, "Whoa. My tum-tum. I didn't think there was such a thing as too much chocolate." Icy scoffed, "We told you many times not to overeat." Tank almost about take a bite on chocolate chips. Icy grabbed it before pouring them out on the magical cream. She then stirred and mixed them up. Pinkie gave a sick yet disgusted belch from eating the chips. "Better?" Icy asked. Pinkie nodded, "Yeah. Now, to bake our creations!" Pinkie and Icy placed the magical cream with chocolate chips on the tray. They both then moved and put it into the oven. They also set the kitchen timer for the oven to bake the cookies. All they can do is wait for a while. After 10 minutes have passed, the kitchen timer rang out loud, alerting both of them. Pinkie gasped, "They're ready!" "Alright! Time to see how good the cookies are!" Icy exclaimed happily. Pinkie opened the oven, bringing out the tray of perfect baked cookies. They all awed in amazement and surprise of what they're looking at. Pinkie smell on it carefully. She awed happily with her love-shaped eyes. Before she could do anything, Pinkie looked at her stuffed animal toy to ask, "What's that, Gummy? You think I've just invented the perfect cookie? Awww..." She then held on the sprinkle, which was glowing brightly, "And now, for the final, and best, part – sprinkles!" "PINKIE! NO! NOT THE SPRINKLES!" Everyone panicked. Pinkie poured the sprinkles out on the tray of cookies. It engulfed everything in purple smoke. Just as it dispersed, the whole kitchen is covered with magical cream and flour. Everyone groaned and moaned while recovering. Despite the mess they've made in kitchen, the cookies are on the plate, filled with sparkles. "Et voila! Two dozen ultra-scrumptious cookies for a sophisticated snack time!" Pinkie concluded proudly while looking at the plate. She smiled, "Until next time on "The Craft of Cookies", this is Pinkie Pie bidding you a sweet evening and a most delicious morrow!" "I wonder how good it is?" Icy asked. "Let's find out. Dig in!" Pinkie said happily. Pinkie, Icy, Tailtech and Tank picked up the cookies and ate them happily and enjoyably. While they're eating the cookies, they all groaned and moaned sickly before falling on the ground. Tailtech groaned, "W-What gives? Why am I feeling sick?" "No idea…" Pinkie admitted with groaned. She looked at the cookie, "The cookies should be fine. I tasted the cream. I make sure they're chocolate chips too." Icy giggled uneasily, "I might add some gummies into it." "YOU WHAT?!" Pinkie asked in shock. She looked carefully at the cookie, which was gummies. She groaned, "AIEYAH! There is a reason why putting gummies in cookies are bad idea, Icy! They make you sick. Worse than eating too much chocolate! What were you thinking?!" Icy groaned sickly, "Sorry…" Metalgear sighed in relief, "What a relief. Thank goodness that I'm a robot." Tailtech groaned sickly, "Good for you…" END… Review and Suggest… Main Casts: Andrea Libman: Pinkie Pie Cristina Vee: Icy Minor Casts: Kate Higgins: Tailtech Derek Stephen Prince: Metalgear > S4E7: Street Chic (Mystic Version) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Rarity, are you sure this is even a good idea?” Icy, wearing her cyan-colored jacket and orange scarf, asked in concern. Rarity smiled confidently, “Trust me, darling. I know what I’m doing. And it will be the best livestream ever I make.” “Hmm… I don’t know. This might not be a good idea.” “Come now, darling. Have I ever let my friends down when it comes to design some fabulous fashions for every occasion and event?” “Well, of course not. But-!” “Have my designs and creativity ever failed to reach and impress the audience and customers?” “No. None of them I supposed. But I’m not-!” “And also, have I ever been wrong when it comes to filming my fashion? After all, I did make some of best music videos for Rainbooms.” “Not that I know of,” Icy admitted. Showing her uncertainty and concern looks, she asked, “But Rarity, I was talking about the setting you’ve set, especially today’s weather.” Exactly what she was concern for, Icy and Rarity were standing outside of Carousal Boutique, along with the clothes rail stand with several clothes. Some of people were passing by, wearing jackets and long pants to cover their bodies, scarfs to cover their necks and hats on their heads as if they have just entered the cold area. “Why? Is there a problem with the setting?” Rarity asked curiously yet oblivious. Icy gave a blank look as she answered, “You do realize it’s autumn, right? So, why even film on the summer fashion in this time of season?” Rarity scoffed, “Yes, darling. I’m aware of it. But it’s not very cold. It should be fine for filming my livestream – ‘The Street Chic with Rarity’! It will be the blast.” Icy groaned in disbelief, “Unbelievable. I don’t know it that was brave or stupid.” She then wrote down the paper and said, “To be honest, I can’t tell if she really uses her head.” Rarity gave a glare at Icy and scolded, “I heard that, darling. You don’t see my commenting about how bad Pinkie’s The Craft of Cookies is when it is clearly your mess from the start.” Icy squeaked in fear and panicked, “I was trying new cookies with gummi bears! They’re supposed to be sweet! There’s nothing wrong to try something new!” “And look how bad the ratings Pinkie has to suffer,” Rarity remarked sarcastically, annoying Icy to grumble. She cleared her throat, “Enough chitchatting. Let’s get started!” “I have a bad feeling about this…” Icy remarked dryly as she readied with her camera. She spoke up, “We go on live. 5… 4… 3… 2… 1… Action!” As Icy was began livestream, Rarity smiled warmly as she passing by her clothes rail stand while looking at the camera. Some of passerby were confused and uncertain of why would she livestream with some summer clothes during the autumn. Rarity greeted, “Hello, darlings! Welcome to ‘Street Chic with Rarity’! A show that keeps you ahead of the curve, so you're always the first girl on your block to wear the most glittering and glamorous frocks in fashion! This week, I am bringing you the latest in summer flair! So, let's get started!” Spotting Applejack, wearing her orange scarf and drinking latte, was passing by the shop, Rarity halted her while showing off her friend’s muscle. She smiled, “As you can see, Applejack has a simply scrumptious country style that really works for her. So I will just make some simple tweaks.” Rarity spun Applejack around while using her Diamond Barrier to activate its flashes to blind camera for the moment. As soon as the light dispersed, Applejack revealed herself to be wearing a white singlet with apple icon and blue shorts. Her reaction to it is she covered her body with hands, feeling the cold air blowing at her. She shivered in cold. Rarity gasped, “Sometimes I just shock myself with how good I am!” Applejack shivered, “Uh, d-d-d-don't you think it's a… pinch chilly for this getup?” Rarity disagreed, “Nonsense! You look gorgeous! And oh, so summer!” Her body was shaking madly, Applejack stuttered in cold, “C-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-cold...” Wearing a pink fluffy scarf around her neck and winter boots, Fluttershy was coming by. Before she could ask Applejack about her attire, she heard some geese honking. She looked up and found a flock of them were flying in air. “Oh. They're starting to head north for the winter.” Fluttershy remarked in surprise. “It may be fall, darling, but we in the fashion world are in summer mode.” Rarity said calmly. She turned her attention to Fluttershy, “And now, so are you!” Like Applejack, Rarity did the same thing to Fluttershy while flashing the camera. Her clothes now transformed into greenish dress and pink high-heels. This shocked and scared her. Her response is to cover her body while Applejack used the long pants to cover her body like a jacket. While Applejack and Fluttershy were busy covering their bodies, Rarity spotted Rainbow with her earphone on her ears was passing them by. “She's sporty! She's stylish! And she needs a sensational summer look to dazzle all the other sports… people?” Rarity stated proudly. Hearing her praise, Rainbow stopped to look at her while listening more. Applejack and Fluttershy shivered while shaking their heads and waving their hands in gesture of ‘don’t’, alerting Rainbow to leave. She cleared her throat, “Anyway…” Like before, Rarity did the same thing again to Rainbow Dash. Her clothes transformed into pink singlet with thunder shaped on bottom and blue tight gym pants. Like her friends, she quickly covered her body. Both Applejack and Fluttershy sighed while shaking their heads in disappointment, realizing that they failed to save her. Rarity smiled, “It's elegant yet still sporty! She'll be bringing drama along with the summer sun!” Looking at the dark cloudy sky, Rainbow stuttered, “That… doesn't look like the sun to me.” “Ignore the nature, Rainbow Dash. Summer chic is a state of mind.” Rarity whispered to Rainbow. She looked back at the camera, “We'll see you next time on ‘Street Chic with Rarity’! Until then, don't forget to strike a pose!” Just as Rarity ‘strike a pose’ in front of camera, she smiled and nodded nervously to her friends to do the same. They did so, though still feeling cold air blowing him. Suddenly, a pile of snow fell upon them. All of them are covered in snow. Icy sighed and muttered in frustration, “I knew this is going to happen.” “Uh, Rarity, you got anything for winter?” Rainbow asked in concern. “Ugh. Remind me to do our photoshoots indoors from now on.” Rarity grumbled shuddered. She sighed, “At least, my ex-boyfriend isn’t around to see this. That’s the last thing I want.” “Too late.” Everyone remarked dryly, confusing yet concerning Rarity. A familiar voice spoke professionally and mockingly, “And that’s why you never ever filming anything related to summer or spring fashions on autumn and winter season. Most important of all, listen to your friends when it comes to filming and settings. She is the perfect example of poor director. So, join with me for ‘How to be a Better Director’! Stay tune!” Everyone gasped of what they heard while looking in front of them. Shorty was using his phone to self-recording on himself and his friends. He winked at them while smirked playfully at her. “And that’s wrap,” Shorty concluded before turning it off. He turned and playfully glared at Rarity, “I wish I could say ‘Nice falling on you, Rarity’. But yeah, I did. Befitting, isn’t it? Bye!” Making funny and mocking face at Rarity, Shorty dashed off at once. His insults and mocking have truly angered and literally boiled her up. It melted the snow down, revealing an angry fashionista with her body covered in red and steaming off. Everyone gulped in concern. “DAMN YOU! SHORTY!” Rarity screamed in anger. She ranted angrily, “When I get the hands of that no-good, useless and self-righteous jerk, I’m gonna…” While Rarity was busy ranting, her friends looked at each other as they both sighed in annoyance to hear it again and the fact that Rarity and Shorty haven’t talk and reconcile their relationship. “This is going to get worst for both of them, right?” Applejack muttered. “Yup. Definitely going to be worst…” Icy agreed.

It has several photos of herself with her family, her friends, her boyfriend and even her pet dog – Spike on several occasions, which involved of vacation, school activities, family outing, hangout, adventures and even saving the day too. She smiled warmly and happily to see it. While still looking through some photos, she came across of her younger self and young Applejack holding Spike and Winona on their hands. She awed happily to see it. She then heard a knock from the door. She called 'come in'. Nyx came into the bedroom. "Hey guys," Twilight greeted them. "Hey, Twilight. We're almost ready," Nyx said happily. She then found her older sister reading the album. She asked, "Hey, what are you reading?" "A photo album." Twilight answered calmly. She then shown the album to Nyx. She smiled, "Guess who's in the album?" "Is that Spike?" Nyx asked. "Yeah. That's him. I'll be honest with you, Nyx. He's quite the mischief and rascal for a stray puppy." "Really? Spike? A stray puppy?" "Didn't I tell you the story about how Applejack and I found him when we were 10 years old?" "Definitely not. Care to tell me?" Twilight giggled, "Sure. Why not? C'mon, Nyx. Sit down. I'll tell you the story. We'll start with how Spike was a stray." Nyx smiled happily as she sat down, close to her older sister. Twilight began narrating the story of how she met and adopted Spike to be her pet and part of the family. 7 years ago… Long before Twilight met and adopted him, Spike was a nameless and orphaned dog, lonely living in the alley until he was found by a group of stray dogs. Like him, they too have no family or even the owners. And so, he was adopted into their pack. They became his family. At the downtown, a pack of stray dogs were hiding at the alley as they were looking at the wet market from the opposite of alley. They were consisted of Puppy Spike, a strong-build German Shepard named Echo Five, a short crimson-white colored Swedish Vallhund called Boomer, a purple-colored Greyhound dog called Rob, a large and broader Mastiff named Grunt, a muscle crimson-colored older brother Dobermann Garble and his younger orange-colored Akita Inu Smolder, twin cyan-colored Labrador Retriever brothers are known as Aero and Rak, and finally a slim yet well-built and beautiful young blue-colored Siberian Husky puppy named Ember. "Alright, this is it, guys. You ready to rock," Echo Five asked calmly and confidently. Boomer scoffed, "You kidding, Echo? We're always ready!" "Yeah. If you can keep up, shorty," Garble taunted, prompting the Swedish Vallhund whacked him with a pole. He yelped in pain, "OW! Hey!" "You asked for it, punk! You want a fight?!" Boomer snapped back. Garble growled angrily, "Be careful of what you asked, punk. I can be real nasty!" "Hey, knock it off, guys. We're in the middle of the work, you know," Ember said sternly and firmly. She turned and looked at Echo Five, "Okay, Echo, what's the plan?" Echo Five nodded as he explained, "Alright, we only need to take the food as much as we can since our shelter is near to the docks." "Yeah. We mostly have fishes," Smolder agreed firmly. She scoffed with teasing smirk, "Unfortunately, we have some knuckleheads hate them." Garble and Grunt yelped in disgust. Boomer scoffed while crossed his paws, "You've said it, guys. I hate fish. Their meats are too little for me to eat. Yeesh. What's up with that?" "You should try to eat them. I was told it was made of protein and healthy too," Rob remarked calmly. He smiled proudly, "I know coz I tried it." Boomer gave annoyed looks, "Yeah. I'm pretty sure you make this up." Looking concern and scared, Puppy Spike asked, "Echo, you sure this is a good idea. I'm worried that we might get into trouble." "What's the matter? You scared?" Garble teased, only get elbowed by his younger sister – Smolder. He growled a bit, "I was just kidding." "Spike does have the point. We should be careful. There are some guards around there. They shouldn't be mess with," Aero said seriously and stoically. Rak gulped in fear, "Not to mention, they've got some crazy weapons to shoot at us. I saw some dogs got shot for trying to attack them." "Which is why me, Aero, Garble and Grunt will create diversion to get these guys away from the market. The rest of you get the food," Echo Five instructed calmly, "And remember, not to pick a fight with anyone. The last thing we need is getting captured or shot. They won't take us kindly if we attacked them." "Like they give us a choice, Echo," Boomer grumbled. "Even so, we don't hurt people. Just scare them. Pretty sure they're afraid of you being a chihuahua," Ember remarked playfully. Boomer groaned in annoyance, "Hello! I'm a Swedish Vallhund, not littles and cutest dog! Don't even call me that. Why not call Spikey-Wikey that. After all, he's your boyfriend." Ember flustered, "S-Shut up, punk!" "Boomer, c'mon. Leave her alone," Puppy Spike said seriously. Boomer groaned, "Fine. Only doing this because she's your girlfriend." "Not funny," Puppy Spike grumbled. "Just remember what we're supposed to do," Echo Five said firmly, "Alright. Let's do this." Rak groaned in concern, "This might not end well…" "Let's do this, already! I'm in for action!" Garble exclaimed impatiently. Echo Five nodded firmly as he started a fierce barking. Aero, Grunt and Garble then fiercely barked at each other. They all then ran straight to the market, where they pounced and roughen on each other like they were fighting with each other. This alerted the security guards to approach and deal with the problems. The guards tried to grab and drag the dogs from fighting but only got backed off by their barks and jaws biting on them. With the security guards being distracted, Ember and the rest of her gang quickly moved into the market. Ember and Smolder barked out loud, scaring and chasing almost everyone out from the shop. This gives Rak, Rob, Boomer and Puppy Spike to use some trolleys to gather and collect as much food including junk food, biscuits, crackers, and some cooked food as they can. "Guys! We've got problem! The dogcatchers are here!" Aero shouted in concern as he came into the market, "Tell me you've got the food?!" Almost five trolleys filled with food, Ember shouted back, "We've got them!" Aero nodded, "Now let's move! Let's get out of here!" Everyone nodded firmly and seriously. Ember and her team pushed their own trolleys while regrouping with their allies, who were barking and chasing the dogcatchers to back off. Though intimidated, they remained firm and stern as they tried to catch the stray dogs with their nets and catch pole. With his strength, Grunt pushed and knocked the dogcatchers down like bringing down the dominos. Seeing the opening, Echo Five barked out loud, signaling his team to move out. They all did. They headed straight back to the alley. Almost every dog makes it. Boomer and Puppy Spike were the last group to make. Just as they were almost reached their destination, Puppy Spike spotted a truck coming towards them. It then swerved, trying to stop before hitting two puppies. The purple-colored puppy did the unthinkable act – pushing Boomer at the roadside. Puppy Spike and the trolley got hit by the truck's hood. Throwing to the ground, the puppy rolled down straight at the fire hydrant, which his head got hit hard. Everyone including the dogs gasped in shock and concern of what they just saw. Boomer is completely devastated and hurt in his looks. He dashed and checked on his best friend, who barely opened his eyes to look. Nudging gently on his head, the purple-colored puppy did not raise his head up. He howled in hurt and despair. The rest of dogs also came to check on him, hoping to see him alright as well. His vision complete blurred. He barely could hear anything but muffled noise. The last thing Spike saw is a girl approaching to check on him while talking to him. Eventually, his eyes closed down as he went unconsciously. Unknown time has passed… Feeling a pain in his head, the Puppy Spike grunted a bit as he slowly opened his eyes and regain conscience. He then found himself in new surroundings. This room was filled with a large bedroom, some bookshelves, a telescope and solar system orbit on the ceiling. This surprise and confused him. "Oh, you're awake! Thank goodness!" A young yet gentle voice spoke, surprising Puppy Spike. The puppy looked up and found young Twilight wearing a blue-shirt, magenta vest and purple skirt and young Applejack wearing greenish T-Shirt and blue overall pants stood before him. He gasped in concern as he tried to back off. "It's okay. We're not going to hurt you." Young Twilight assured the puppy Spike. The dog was a bit of skeptical and concern. Hearing the stomach growling, he blushed a bit of embarrassment. She giggled a bit, "I'm guessing you're hungry." "Here. We've brought some food for you to eat." Young Applejack stated as she brought the bowl of dogfood before the puppy. Puppy Spike was scared. She calmly said, "It's alright, little one. It's just food for you to eat." Though skeptical, Spike cautiously approached and took a bite on the dogfood. He gasped in surprise as he quickly and excitedly ate them. Both girls smiled happily to see him eating his food. "Glad you like it, Spike," Young Twilight smiled happily, surprising Spike to look at her. She nodded, "Yeah. My friend and I named you. I hope you like it." Puppy Spike smiled happily as he gave a gentle bark that he likes it. He was glad that some girls actually named the right name. "Yeah. You're very lucky to be alive. You were out for few days after the accident," Young Applejack said in concern, Puppy Spike gasped in shock, realizing that he's been out for a few days. Not only that, he's worried about his friends. He whined in concern about them. "Don't worry about your friends. They're alright," Young Applejack assured Puppy Spike. She opened the door, "Here they are." Echo Five and the rest of team entered the room. They all dogpile on Puppy Spike to the ground. They all howled happily while nuzzling and licking on him for being alright. Both Boomer and Ember whined tearfully to see him alright. Puppy Spike, winced in pain, smiled and barked a bit to assure them that he's alright. "I still can't get over the fact some stray dogs actually stole some food from market," Young Applejack remarked in surprise. Young Twilight nodded in agreement, "Yeah. That's something you don't see every day." The dogs stopped dogpiling and nuzzling. They all turned and looked at Young Twilight and Young Applejack. They bowed humbly before them, thanking them for saving Puppy Spike. Understanding the gesture, Young Twilight smiled warmly, "You're welcome. It's no biggie. I'm just glad Spike is alright. And you don't have to worry about the damages you and your friends have caused." Puppy Spike looked scared and worried when Young Twilight mentioned 'market'. Echo Five patted him by shoulder to assure him that it's okay. "Don't worry about it. I've made some calls with my parents and family friend to fix the mess," Young Twilight assured the dogs, though has the tone of stern in it. This made Puppy Spike and his friends a bit uneasy. She smiled warmly, "But of course, I'm going to be responsible of you from now on. Making sure that you won't be on mischief again." Puppy Spike was confused and surprised by her statement. Young Twilight explained, "Yeah. I kinda adopted you, Spike." Puppy Spike looked at his friends, who nodded in confirmation that she did adopt him when he was in comatose. He looked concern and worried about his friends. "Hey, don't worry about your friends. They've got an owner to look after them. They'll be fine," Young Applejack assured Puppy Spike. She smiled, "And they can still visit you." Puppy Spike gasped in surprise while looking at his friends. They all nodded in confirmation. They all whined happily, hugging and nuzzling each other happily. Clearing her throat to get the dogs' attention, Young Twilight sternly yet calmly warned them, "I've got to warn you all. In this house, I expect you all to be on best behavior and not break everything. The last thing you want is getting in troubles and send back to the dog pound. Is that understood?" Intimidated by her warnings, Puppy Spike and his friends nodded fearfully as they understood and willing to be on best behavior. Young Twilight smiled, "Welcome to the family, Spike." "And don't worry, you've got me around to help. You two are going to be best friends." Young Applejack said confidently. Holding Spike with her grip, Young Twilight smiled as she nuzzled him by her cheek, "Yeah. We sure will." Puppy Spike barked happily that he agrees. Days become weeks. Weeks become Months. Months become years. Ever since Young Twilight adopted Puppy Spike, Young Applejack helped her with training and teaching Puppy Spike to be not only an obedient dog, but also well-mannered and discipline dog, and even taught him with some dog tricks. And of course, they even allowed Echo Five and others to visit and hangout with him for fun, working on science and research, and even playing together with their friends on various activities. Whenever Puppy Spike did get into some trouble like breaking plats or biting the cushions, Twilight came to defend him and took the blame. And vice-versa as Puppy Spike defended Twilight by barking and chasing off some bad students from bullying and badmouthing her. Over 7 years have passed, both of them have become close and best friends to each other, even they and their family moved to new residence. "And that's how we've become best friends," Twilight ending her story while looking at the latest photo of Friendship Game. She joked, "And of course, you know how Spike talks. I've learn he was an orphan after he was born and become part of the Pack." "Wow. That is so sweet," Nyx commented. Entering the room, Spike called, "Twilight, c'mon! Everyone's waiting! Ember's going to perform some awesome trick. Can't afford to miss it!" Twilight giggled, "Alright, Spike. We're coming." "Don't worry. We won't miss your girlfriend's show," Nyx teased. Spike groaned and paws-palmed, "Oh for the love of-! How many times do I have to tell you all?! Ember and I are just friends!" "Sure. Tell yourself," Twilight teased. Twilight and Nyx giggled as they and Spike exited out of the bedroom. They're meeting up with their friends now for Ember's performance. Twilight and Spike will always be friends till the end, more than just owner and pet… END… Review and Suggest… Main Casts: Cathy Weseluck: Spike the Dog Tara Strong: Twilight Sparkle Minor Casts: Matt Mullins: Echo Five Ali Milner: Ember Ben Diskin: Boomer Rob Paulsen: Rob Vin Diesel: Grunt Vincent Tong: Garble Shannon Chan-Kent: Smolder Steven Burton: Aero Robbie Daymon: Rak Kira Tozer: Nyx Midnight Ashleigh Ball: Young Applejack > S4E9: Schedule Mix-Up! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- A year has passed… After their winter vacation, spring is upon them. Teenagers and children are returning to the school, continued not only their studies but also reuniting and teaming with their friends and lovers back. All were given with timetables, which were provided by Vice-Principal Luna and Assistant Spell Nexus. Once received, the students now headed off to their classes. Teachers are arriving at the classroom, begin their teachings. Inside the principal's office, Spell Nexus made the report to Principal Celestia. His report involved of students and teachers' attendances, as well as provisions, supplies and books have been accountable. After reading the reports, Principal Celestia smiled warmly, "Thank you for the report, Mr. Nexus. You may return to your position." Spell Nexus nodded firmly, "Yes, ma'am." He also shown his concerns as he spoke, "If I may, ma'am?" "Yes, go on. Something bothering you?" "I've checked some of students' timetables. Some don't seem right for them especially our top students. This might cause some inconvenience to us." "Don't worry too much, Nexus. I've checked the timetables thrice from last week. Everyone is in the right place," Principal Celestia assured Spell Nexus. Still having doubts, Spell Nexus sighed reluctantly, "As you wish. If it goes wrong, please inform me to reschedule them. I will make sure they are in order." "Of course, Mr. Nexus." Principal Celestia said understandingly. With Spell Nexus, Principal Celestia, using paging microphone, announced her usual greeting and welcoming the students back to the school. Principal Celestia announced, "Welcome to another exciting school year at Canterlot High. As you settle into your new classes, please make sure everything's in order. All final schedule changes must be made by the end of the day." Turning it off, she sighed calmly, "I am certain that everything is-!" CRASH! Principal Celestia was alerted by the noise. She looked up and found the door got stuck by Main Six and Dragon Strike Force (mostly Shadow Dragon, Terrorcreep, Saber Dragoon, Shorty Thinking and Flare Tiger), who were all trying to get inside the office while shouting and panicking. They suddenly got pushed out by Spell Nexus, who gave 'I told you so' look at Principal Celestia. Principal Celestia sighed, "Fine…" "As I've said before, they're not pleased with the schedule," Spell Nexus reported. He turned to the students, "Would you like to explain why?" "I was supposed to be in wood shop with Pinkie Pie, not frou-frou paintin' time with nobody." Applejack explained while showing her schedule. "I only signed up for drama to be with Rarity and Terrorcreep, but they weren't there. Which was very dramatic, but for all the wrong reasons." Fluttershy reported. Terrorcreep sighed, "Yes. We were surprised and confused. Instead of drama class, both Rarity and I are on science class." Shorty shrugged, "No clue. Not like she actually has a brain for science class." Rarity buffed angrily as she kicked at his shin. He yelped in pain, "OW! OW! OW! That hurt!" Rarity stuck her tongue at him, "Serves you right for being rude to me." Shadow Dragon sighed, "Yeah. It's kinda mess up with our timetable, Principal Celestia." "Don't suppose you can help sort this out?" Twilight requested. After writing down their complains, Principal Celestia smiled, "Don't worry. I'll sort it out." "Ma'am, I think it would be wise to recall all the schedules, so we can check and placed the subjects correctly for everyone," Spell Nexus suggested. Principal Celestia scoffed, "Don't worry about that. This is just minor. Give me a second." Stretching and cracking her fingers, Principal Celestia pressed couple of keyboard's buttons, changing timetables. Aftermath, she then printed them out from the printer. She passed all of them to the students. They all chattered happily about their new timetables, though Shorty and Rarity gave stern glares at each other, still unable to forgive each other. The students exited out of the principal's office, heading for their class. Principal Celestia smiled warmly to see them happy. She turned and found Spell Nexus gave his annoyed looks at her. "What?" Principal Celestia asked in confusion. Rarity and Saber are now inside the wood shop. They both worn protective gears of goggles, ear muffler and gloves. They were both shocked and confused, watching some students including Zephyr Breeze were working and testing their own projects. Rarity groaned in confusion, "This is the strangest math class I've ever been in." Carefully inspecting the students' doing with the work, Saber hummed while crossed his arms, "Rarity, this is wood shop, not math class." "You mean we are at the wrong class?!" Rarity asked in disbelief. Saber nodded in confirmation while looking at his timetable. She sighed, "No wonder I didn't see Shorty here." "Miss him?" Saber teased. Using her handbag, Rarity whacked Saber's head, "As if! He and I are done, detective. Do not forget that!" Saber groaned in pain while rubbing his head, "Yeesh. Somebody needs some chill pill." In the kitchen, some of the students were trying to cook their own recipe. Rainbow struggled with stirring and mixing the pot of baking powder. Fluttershy was checking on the oven as she was baking some cookies. Flare Tiger was reading the cooking book to make sure they got the right recipe. Checking on timetable, Rainbow hummed in concern, "Huh. Sunset should be in here." Heard what she has said, Flare Tiger checked on hers, "Yeah. You're right, partner. I wonder what kept her?" "You don't suppose Principal Celestia got us the wrong timetable again?" Fluttershy asked in concern. "Could be…" Flare Tiger answered in uncertainty with a shrug. Shadow Dragon, Terrorcreep and Applejack, in their sportswear, are now at the gym. Most of athletes were happily playing basketball, under Aqua's coaching. "Is it me or did we go into wrong class again?" Shadow Dragon questioned. Terrorcreep shook his head, "Yes, we did. This class was supposed to be Rainbow and Pinkie's." "We somehow end up here," Applejack admitted as she looked at her timetable, "I was supposed to be with Fluttershy to do some projects from wood shop." "Indeed. Shorty and I are supposed to be in science class." Terrorcreep pointed firmly. He turned to Shadow Dragon, "Can I assume that you're in this class?" Shadow Dragon nodded, "Yeah. I'm supposed to be with Flash and Flare. Maybe we should get back to the office." Applejack and Terrorcreep nodded in agreement with Shadow Dragon. Three of them approached to Aqua that they need to see Principal Celestia about their schedule mess-up. She nodded understandingly as she allowed them to go. At the advanced physic classroom, Shorty was writing down the equation on the chalkboard while Pinkie was drawing on it. Twilight arrived and entered the classroom. "Shorty, Pinkie, have you seen Sunset?" Twilight asked. She then noticed what Pinkie was doing, "Wait. I didn't know you were taking advanced physics." "Advanced physics?" Pinkie asked in surprise. She laughed in relief, "Thank goodness! I thought they had ruined P.E.!" Shorty gave a blunt look, "Nope. You just have no brain." "Shorty!" Twilight scolded Shorty. Pinkie stuck her tongue at Shorty as she sternly pointed out, "At least, I wasn't being a big fat meanie to my friends especially Rarity. You should be ashamed of yourself, Shorty!" Shorty was annoyed by her insult. She then looked at her timetable, "Wait a sec. If I'm supposed to be in P.E., then Rainbow is already there! Rainbow Dash, I'm on my way! Don't choose teams without me!" Twilight sighed in frustration. Shorty scoffed, "Told you that she doesn't have a brain." This prompted her to smack his head. He yelped in pain, "What?! What did I do?!" "Pinkie was right. You are such a big meanie," Twilight remarked dryly as she left the classroom. Shorty scoffed while shaking his head in frustration as he also left the classroom as well. Both Main Six and Dragon Strike Force returned to principal's office. They all reported their concerns about the mix-up of their timetable. Principal Celestia became annoyed by it. Spell Nexus was there as well, waiting for her order to recall the timetable for proper placement. "Should I recall everyone to return the timetable?" Spell Nexus requested. "No," Principal Celestia answered firmly, silencing everyone. She turned and looked at her students, "Everyone, I think I can arrange for you all to have one class period together. But this is the final change, okay?" Everyone cheered in agreement with Principal Celestia's decision. Spell Nexus sighed in frustration about her decision. Both Main Six and five of Dragon Strike Force are now at the cafeteria as they all are having lunch together. They also have some chattering with each other as well. "Well, she wasn't lyin'. Lunch technically is a class period." Applejack commented. Pinkie squealed happily, "Best class to have together ever!" Almost everyone chattered in agreeing with Applejack and Pinkie's comments, though Shorty and Rarity were annoyed to see each other before looked away. "Well, almost everyone agreed," Shadow Dragon remarked in concern. "We need them to make up with each other." Twilight agreed. She gave some thoughts, "I might have an idea. I definitely need Coach Aqua's help." "Count on me to get her help, Twi," Rainbow said proudly. Fluttershy looked concern as she asked, "Um, has anyone seen Sunset and Flash?" "Now you mention it. I haven't seen them for whole day. Where could they be?" Saber asked. As Principal Celestia was typing on her keyboards, she heard the knock. She looked up and found Sunset and Flash entered the room, accompanied by Spell Nexus. "I think we're supposed to have lunch this period." Sunset explained while looking at her timetable. Flash nodded, "Yeah. Don't suppose you can change that?" Principal Celestia sighed in frustration with the same problem again. She turned to Spell Nexus, who whistled innocently while looking away. "Spell Nexus, recall the timetable. Make sure there're in right place," Principal Celestia ordered in frustration tone. Spell Nexus nodded happily, "Yes, ma'am." As commanded, he collected Sunset's and Flash's timetable first. He then used desk microphone to give order to the student returning their timetables to him at once. When they did, he began to look through all of them while making sure that some subjects are in right places now. Spell Nexus scoffed, "I told her so. But I'll make sure that I get it done in time."

She even prepared the livestream websites from her laptop, which is also connecting to TV as well. Both Wheelie and Brains prepared both snacks and drinks for not only her, but also her guests – Fluttershy, Tailtech and Icy. While checking and making sure the wires are connected, Tailtech reported, “All is ready, Sunset.” Sunset smiled, “Thanks, Tailtech. On with the show, everyone.” Feeling nervous, Fluttershy stuttered, “I… I don’t know if I can do this.” Everyone gave ‘are you kidding me’ looks at her. She gulped while ruffling her hair, “I know I did well from performing stage with the help of my friends. But I’m still feeling nervous about livestream.” Wheelie groaned in frustration, “Jeez, how long is she keep doing this? This gotta be crazy long gag ever.” “Tell me about it,” Brains agreed, “When do you think she grow the spine?” “Probably 80 years from now?” Wheelie teased. Brains chuckled, “Oh yeah. That’s a good one. By the time she reached that age, she won’t able to do anything.” Wheelie and Brains stifled their laughter amusingly about Fluttershy’s lack of confidence until she reached her old age. Needless to say, everyone was not amused by their jokes. This prompted Sunset to bring her batter to smack their heads. The Minicons yelled in pain, “OW! What did I do?!” Fluttershy looked embarrassed. Icy approached to comfort her, “It’s okay, Fluttershy. You can do this.” Sunset nodded in agreement, “Yeah. I’ve seen your action, Fluttershy. This will be piece of cake. All you need to do is play the game and have fun.” “You think so?” Fluttershy asked hopefully. “We know so,” Sunset and Icy said supportively. Touched by her friends’ supports as Fluttershy smiled, “Thanks, everyone.” “So, shall we get started?” Tailtech asked calmly as he readied with the laptop. Sunset smiled happily as she placed the headgear over her head. Both Fluttershy and Icy did the same thing as well. Three of them are now holding the game control while taking their seat. They turned to Tailtech. “We’re ready, T.” Sunset said happily. Tailtech smiled happily as he readied the livestream recording, “We’re going on live. In 3… 2… 1… Action!” With the push of a button on the keyboard, Tailetch has initiated the livestream video from laptop. It now shows the digital codes-like background appeared with the logo of chibi-Sunset Shimmer, which winked at the screen. He then does wiggle his finger, gesturing ‘your next’ at Sunset. Nodding calmly, Sunset smiled while waved at the camera, “Welcome to "ShimmerCode", my game channel! I've decided to take a break from racking up crazy-high scores to introduce my friends, Fluttershy and Icy, to gaming.” “HURRAH! I’M IN THE GAME!” Icy cheered happily, surprising everyone. Timid as usual, Fluttershy quietly cheered, “Yay, games.” “Okay, girls, your pick. What’ll it be?” Sunset asked calmly. Fluttershy and Icy looked through some of video games, which has the Rise of Tirek, Tirek’s Revenge, Three Kingdoms of Demons, Cyber Adventure, The Haunted Carnival, the Crimson Lady of Paris and so on. Icy was very excited with action games while Fluttershy looked nervous and worried. “Let’s play this game – Tirek’s Revenge!” Icy exclaimed happily while holding the case. “Uh… How about this game? The squirrel one?” Fluttershy suggested while holding the ‘Squirrel’s Acorn Delivery’ cover. Icy gave annoyed glare at her, “Are you serious? I thought you loved Tirek’s Revenge.” “I did. It was quite fun and scary. But fun.” Fluttershy admitted sheepishly. She then explained, “But I’m pretty sure everyone played this game a lot. Sunset doesn’t like to play the same game for too many times.” Sunset nodded understandingly, “Fluttershy’s right. Everyone played Tirek’s two games many times while we are still waiting for the third and final game - Tirek the Conqueror. So, we’ll go with Fluttershy’s suggestion.” Fluttershy smiled happily while Icy gave annoyed looks. Picking up her shy friend’s case, the amber-colored teenager placed the CD into console. She then looked at the video, “I usually play more advanced games, but what my guest player picks, we play. This will be... easy.” Fluttershy smiled happily, “Time to press some buttons. Whee.” Icy sighed, “This is going to be the most boring game ever.” As soon as the screen revealed the intro of ‘Squirrel’s Acorn Delivery’, Sunset smiled with excitement tone, “Here we go!” Standing on the computer desk, Wheelie snickered playfully, “Yeah. She’s gonna whoop the game.” “Yup. Don’t mess with this pro gamer,” Brains remarked teasingly. Both Minicons stifled their laughter, prompting Tailtech whacked their heads with the book. They yelped in pain softly. They glared at him, who shushed at them while gesturing at the girls, who were about to play the game. They grumbled while keeping their mouth shuts. The boys turned and looked at the laptop’s screen, which has Sunset’s green squirrel, Icy’s white one and Fluttershy’s blue on the ground, along with the acorns on the ground as they prepared to climb on the tallest treehouse, which has the basket of acorns hanging on the branch. The game bars have six acorns silhouette. The girls are readied to play the game, though Icy helped turn upside-down game control before passing back to Fluttershy, who nodded happily. Looking at the screen, Sunset smiled confidently, “The gameplay here is actually very simple. Get your squirrel to climb the tree…” While pressing her game control, her green-colored squirrel grabbed the acorn before climbing up the tree. Unintentionally slipped her fingers, it caused the brown mammal to fall down hard. It recovered from dizziness. She grumbled a bit as she tried to move the squirrel to get up, but instead it threw off the acorn to fall on its head. She tried again but the squirrel did the opposite way – hopping. Fluttershy hummed, “Like this?” Using her game control, Fluttershy easily moved the squirrel to climb up spirally to the top, where it dropped the acorn into the basket at ease. “Uh… yeah.” Sunset said in uncertainty tone. Icy hummed while looking at the screen, “Can’t be that hard.” She tried with her game control, making the squirrel carry the acorn before climbing up the tree forward. It almost fell if she hadn’t quickly made the squirrel to throw it at the basket. She sighed in relief, “Okay. That was too close.” The girls continued playing the video game. Fluttershy smiled happily as she easily got all six types of nuts into the basket at ease. Though struggled to control her squirrel’s movement, Icy managed to get three into hers. Sunset, frustrated and annoyed, is still unable to get one. “What do you want from me?! TELL ME WHAT YOU NEED!” Sunset screamed in frustration and anger at the screen. Seeing her squirrel still failed to get one into her basket, she cried and sobbed in tears before covered on the sofa, “WHY… Why me… Why!!!” Gaining the upper hand, Fluttershy happily controlled her blue squirrel to dodge and evade the falling branches until she caught six special acorns. Barely got all six in the basket, Icy grunted as she struggled to get hers to dodged the falling branches, though it got injured for five times. She managed to get six special acorns. Both of them moved their squirrels to climb to the top and threw all of them into the basket. The screen ended with Fluttershy’s and Icy’s squirrels cheered happily while Sunset’s critter frowned unhappily. Fluttershy smiled happily for having so much fun and winning the game. Icy sighed in relief before lying against the sofa as she had never felt so exhausted and tired from playing the game. Sunset gawked dumbfoundedly to see everything. The boys have the same reaction as hers as well. “Did I do it right?” Fluttershy asked. Icy sighed, “As far as I know, it looks like we did alright. Didn’t think this game could be that tough.” She turned and looked at Sunset, who is still gawking. She asked in concern, “Uh… Sunset? You okay?” “That was…” Sunset said in astounded tone. She cheered, “…Amazing!” Everyone was surprised by Sunset’s reaction. They were expecting to take the loss serious as she hated losing, but not her cheering for Icy and Fluttershy. Passing the game control to Fluttershy, Sunset pleaded, “Can I watch you play it again?” Fluttershy smiled happily as she agreed to play the game again. Sunset looked excited and happy to watch her playing it. Icy didn’t seem to mind but watch. The boys were still astounded and disbelief to see it before looking at each other. “What just happened?” Tailtech asked. Brains shrugged, “No clue. She took this loss very well.” “I think she’s broke now.” Wheelie remarked in concern, “The Goddess of Warrior is lost now…” END… Review and Suggest… Main Casts: Rebecca Shoichet: Sunset Shimmer Andrea Libman: Fluttershy Cristina Vee: Icy Minor Casts: Kate Higgins: Tailtech Tom Kenny: Wheelie Reno Wilson: Brains Dee Bradley Baker: Squirrels
