Tyrant unveiled

Gently rested the aircraft onto the solid clouds, Rarity peered out once more to see the magnificent place and make sure they weren’t about to fall through the air. She then searched around the control panel.

“Right, before we head out, best make sure it’s-.” Rarity had dropped her jaw out of her mouth when she had seen jumped outside the ship was everyone else just out there. Rarity then appeared outside in a flash and screamed at them both. “Did any of you stop to think about coming out here?”

“Chill sis.”

“Chill! How can I chill when I saw you out here before we could make sure it’s safe?”

“Would you settle down sugarcube? We haven’t spotted any pegasi since we came here and we don’t know why,” said Applejack.

“Oh sorry, I didn’t know that, because I wasn’t among all the jumping around and loud laughing!”

“What we got here?”

They looked up into the sky and were shocked at what they saw. “Are those diamond dogs?” asked Spike.

“It they are, they really collide with the surroundings here.”

There were two of them up in the sky, armed with unicorn armour and scouters. “I don’t know what we got here, but best wrangle them for our master to look out.”

“Wrangle? Ain’t no one wrangling us in,” replied Applejack.

“You don’t exactly have a choice.” One of the diamond dogs lifted up his paw and fired an energy blast that struck against the aircraft. With everyone else unable to do anything, they saw the face of it completely torn off and one of its legs had been removed, which caused it to topple and even further fall apart.

All six of them gawked at the damage before they could hear the diamond dogs snicker.

“You brutes!” yelled Rarity.

Both Rarity and Applejack reappeared in the twos’ faces and bucked them which rolled them back across the air until both Pinkie Pie and Spike elbowed them both into the rainbow coloured river and that was that.

“I had no idea diamond dogs could speak and kind of weird they wore armour like those unicorns, but what the heck’s going around here,” said Applejack.

“Shouldn’t we worry about the ship?” asked Spike.

“It’s a ship made by the pegasus, they must have another ship that they could possibly help us with,” replied Rarity.

“To be fairly honest, I think we should concentrate on what’s going on here. We’ve seen two diamond dogs, but no-.” Applejack paused suddenly and looked as if she just got stung by bee. Spike, Pinkie Pie and Rarity were just the same.

“What? Why are you guys looking all weird?” questioned Sweetie Belle.

They looked up and saw shoot through the sky was some sort of comet that descended down onto the atmosphere. When they looked closer, their eye pupils shrunk, Applejack said. “Oh please don’t tell me.”

They saw that comet was really a chariot aircraft and on top of it with her chest out and head high, was Trixie, well and alive.

“It’s Trixie!” screamed Pinkie Pie.

“Isn’t Trixie that unicorn,” said Sweetie Belle.

The chariot had gone over the horizon and was out of sight with Trixie evidently not noticed the group.

Everyone but the two girls flinched again as they felt another power.

“Quick! Into that part that looks like a cave!” shouted Applejack.

Rarity and Pinkie Pie grabbed the little ones and they all rushed into a large gave into one of the hill’s cave.

“What?” asked Applebloom.

They all had their heads poked outside the cave, but quickly pulled them back in, when a large stream comet-shaped energies rocketed pass. They could see inside them, diamond dogs in unicorn armour, who made their way forward. Amongst them were three different forms that astonished the group. One was a large griffon, the second was large well-built white coat pony with a blonde curled mane and the third was some sort of pony that not only had wings but a horn as well and was coloured darkish grey with a blue mane that rested on some sort of throne that propelled forward for her. Around them were three different coloured orbs that levitated around them.

The entire wave of diamond dogs and their companions had fully gone by them and went straight on. Knew it was safe again, the group exited the cave. Each of the fighters was shaken by what they just witnessed.

“Who were they?” asked Pinkie Pie.

“Whoever they are didn’t look like the most friendliest bunch,” said Applejack.

“Did anyone notice that there was a pony amongst them that had a horn and wings?” asked Spike.

“Yes, I don’t know who she is, but we really should find out. They have three Orbs of harmony if you hadn’t noticed,” said Rarity.

“Those looked way too big to be our orbs of harmony,” said Pinkie Pie.

“It doesn’t matter, we should do as Rarity suggested and find out more. That griffon and normal looking pony had tremendously strong energy, but that odd looking one was scary, I doubt Trixie’s and Twilight’s energy put together are nowhere near as strong, so we need to know what they’re up to and make sure this is really home to the Pegasi,” said Applejack.

“What do we about Sweetie Belle and Applebloom?” questioned Spike.

“What!” shouted both kids.

“Good point. This place looks safe enough, but I reckon someone should stay here. I guess it should be me, being that I’m the strongest, if you don’t mind me mentioning and be able to hold off anything if something should happen. You three go on ahead and investigate. But remember don’t engage.”

“I don’t think we were even planning onto,” said Rarity.

“Good luck!”

The two little ones were about to argue, but the three had already zoomed off.

“Ooh,” they moaned.

*

Followed to where the powers went, Rarity, Pinkie Pie and Spike had descended back onto the ground and moved with their stomachs against the surface and heads down. They could sense the group they saw nearby and were sure they were just over the hill.

“Did everyone remember to keep their energies down? A number of them had scouters after all and they hopefully shouldn’t be able to use them to detect us with them, so long as they are absolutely low.”

“Gotcha Rarity,” replied Spike and placed his hand over Pinkie Pie’s mouth before she blurted anything. They had to keep their voices low as well after all.

Soon as they peered their heads over, they were almost gasped in horror at what they saw. Something that had been a peaceful village, was now something filled with carnage. Cloud-made houses had been half levelled and destroyed; the ground had crates made by energy blasts and all over there were what appeared to be dead pegasi.

Amidst all this, the group that they had followed now stood before a tanned pegasus with glasses and a grey mane, who kept a young was an orange pegasus with purple hair behind her. She the older pegasus had her guard up and looked ready to lunge out at anyone who got close to them.

“What’s going on?” asked Spike.

“Hush,” hissed Rarity.

The group had looked at the pegasus amused by her attempt to stand up to them. The heroes above were able to see them more clearly. The griffon had a cool and macho look on her with a blue armour on, while the ordinary pony had a snooty look on him with his head up with a delicate smirk on his face and wore armour that had a black triangle with white center with black circles that made it mimic a black suit. Both of them had fit under their arms, the Orbs of harmony. The peculiar black unicorn had a more bemused smile on her face. The group were also able to see more clearly that she had a mane made out of something like the night sky.

“Apologies for the sudden onslaught, mayor” said the black pony, slouched on top over her throne. “But you pegasi don’t take me as a threat unless I make a mound of corpses, so I can get what I want.”

“What is it that you want?” snarled the mayor.

“Isn’t it obvious, I have half of what I want right here, that should be a big enough hint?”

“But why do you want them, Night mare moon, why have you come to us all of a sudden for them?”

“I guess I do own an explanation, so very well. To start with, I never thought these Orbs of harmony, me and my sister created actually worked, I could never work them myself and they did nothing but just be there. It’s when I realised from some certain evidence that they do work, that these things really have powers to grant you any wish. So I’ve tracked down my sister to find out they’re here and that they are stored in everyone of the pegasi villages.”

“How did you find out that every pegasi village had one?”

“Wasn’t too hard really, went to the first pegasi village and although we planned on going village to village anyways, Gilda here managed to tear up pegasus until another pegasus couldn’t take it anymore and gave us the information, just so we could make his friend’s death much faster,” said Night mare moon with delight and indicated towards the griffon.

The heroes were able to hear this and couldn’t stand what she said. They couldn’t take the leader’s cocky attitude, her twisted mind and her sadistic taste.

“You monsters,” snapped the mayor at them.

“Call us all you like, but I’d at least appreciate you handing over the Orb of harmony in return so I won’t make you pay for such insolence towards me.”

“If I do, what else you do?”

“Oh I don’t know, I think because I’m in such a good mood and if I find you’re being nice enough about this, I might let you live at least.”

“If I do bring it out and hand it over, could you spare the little one behind me? You’re free to take mine afterwards.”

“No mayor!”

“We can negotiate about whose lives we take after you’ve given what I want.”

“Please don’t mayor!”

“I have no choice, I have to!”

The mayor walked into one of the nearby buildings and came back out with one of the coloured orbs underneath her wing. One of the diamond dogs stepped forward and took it from her and passed to the large pony, so that he had two like Gilda.

“So gracious, so whose life should I take first? You or the little one?”

“What! But you said!”

“Yes, I said, but I also said if I found you nice enough. The fact you took your time, I found not very nice and I did say maybe. However I might-.”

The scouter the large pony wore activated all of sudden and came up with a random numbers for a moment but, but switched off again. It had reacted to Spike whose anger almost got the best on him, until Rarity placed her hoof on his shoulder and caused the baby dragon to get all mushy when he realised she touched him.

“Something you got there Blueblood?” asked Gilda.

“I thought I did, but it might have just been a glitch, these new scouters aren’t really that reliable as they use to be.”

“Anyways, as I was about to say, I may re-evaluate my offer if you save us time by telling us where we can find the next Pegasi village?”

The mayor had almost lost her attention from her focus on Blueblood’s scouter, but snapped out it when she heard Night mare moon’s offer. “Never, I refused to betray my own kind in any matter. You’re just-.”

They were interrupted however by the scream of really fast speed cut through the air. It passed over head of the group like a set of jets that barrelled, scattered and zigzagged through the sky in such a fancy display. The diamond dogs looked worried, their heads sunk down by the display.

“They’re here!” screamed the small pony and ran out from behind the mayor and laughed. “They’re here!”

“Sigh at last,” said the mayor with a warm smile on her face.

“Who are they?” questioned Pinkie Pie.

“I don’t know, but whoever they are, but I hope they know what they’re getting into,” replied Rarity.

The three top villains looked unimpressed at the sky show over their heads.

The sky show came to an end when the trio finally landed straight back down and revealed themselves to be pegasi. They stood proudly in blue uniforms with yellow thunderbolts and had orange and red fiery manes and wore goggles shielded over their eyes.

“Well, well, about time my sister sent her prized Wonderbolts. I almost thought she wasn’t after she sent her palace guards to try and stop me.”

“Sorry about that, we were off on trip before we heard that you had showed your face here. Now that we are here, there’s going to be no mercy for what you’ve done, it ends here Night Mare Moon!”

“Oh is that right? I’ll have Gilda here check your power levels to see if that’s true.”

The griffon tapped her scouter and it activated and gave a displayed number. “Heh, got to be kidding me, these guys are less than one-thousand.”

“One-thousand you say? I’m so disappointed. Oh well, you might be fun if I send all my diamond dog minions to attack you and see if I get any enjoyment watching them tear my sisters most elite warriors.”

“Bring it!”

The diamond dogs then charged forward with paws ready and jaws open and slavered. But before they could get anywhere close, the Wonderbolts had stormed right up to them and started to punch, kick and energy blast the diamond dogs. The minions weren’t able to get a chance to fight back and were being massacred.

Watched calmly at the pummel of the minions, Night mare moon questioned. “Gilda, could you double check on their power levels?”

“No probs.” The griffon did so and her eyes were widened when she saw a new result. “They’ve suddenly gone up and over three-thousand.”

“Three-thousand, now that is impressive. They must’ve hid their power levels. My sister has more sly servants than what I had assumed.”

The mayor had kept her eyes on the three. She didn’t seem as reluctant now that the Wonderbolts were here at how cool the three were.

The Wonderbolts had dealt with the last diamond dog and now there were just as many dead of them, as there were of the pegasus. The three elites then looked to Night mare moon with frowns on their faces.

“How about fighting us instead throwing garbage at us or is garbage the only thing you have?”

“You know, I’ve only met you for roughly three minutes and already I dislike you,” replied Night mare moon. She still laid calmly on her chair and didn’t look like she was about to move anytime shortly. “Gilda, would you take care of these sorry excuses?”

“On it,” said Gilda. She dropped the Orbs of harmony close to Night mare moon and stepped on over to the Wonderbolts.

“This isn’t good, we have to do something,” whispered Pinkie Pie.

“There’s nothing we can do,” responded Rarity.

“What? Those guys look like they have it covered,” said Spike.

“Spike, feel their energies and tell me the difference.”

Did so, Spike reached out and felt the Wonderbolt’s strength and then felt the griffon’s and soon had his eye pupils shrunk and jaw dropped. “We need to do something!”

“Just stay down,” hissed Rarity.

Back at the fight about to happen, Gilda had now faced the Wonderbolts with a bored look on her face. “So how do you want it, fast and quick or slow and painful? I’d recommend the slow and painful just so you can say your goodbyes to each other.”

“Hey, strange, we were about offer the same menu?”

“I never really like it when ponies make smart comebacks.”

Gilda had vanished from sight. When the Wonderbolts tried to move their heads, she was already behind one of them and struck her talon hand through one of them.

“No!” screamed a Wonderbolt.

The Wonderbolt had already exploded before he could reply. The explosion had created a smokescreen for Gilda to shoot out an energy blast that struck against another Wonderbolt and he was completely vaporised in an instant.

“Darn it,” said the Wonderbolt now scared.

She watched the griffon charge out of the smoke right at her, but was able to lift herself off the ground and into the air to create enough space to build up her energy, concentrate it and fire it down on Gilda. It hit directly against her, but she charged straight out and slashed the Wonderbolt with her talons.

The Wonderbolt stayed in the air long enough to say. “I’m sorry I failed you all, including you-“ but before she could finish, Gilda had aimed her hand against her and said.

“Should’ve ordered the recommendation if you wanted to say your goodbyes.” And fired an energy blast against her and finished her for good as well.

“No,” whispered the small pony with tears in her eyes.

“Listen, I want you to run! Far as way as you can, you must!”

“What about you?”

“I’ll slow them down to give us enough time, but you must go while they’re distracted, now!”

The little pony was forced to trust her and ran for it. While she did, the villains had their heads turned away as they waited for Gilda to return back to them. It left them open to the mayor’s energy blast that shot against their scouters and shatter them. Before they could react, the mayor fired out again and wrecked the few other scouters on the fallen diamond dogs.

“What on earth!” snarled Night mare moon.

“I think the pegasus just destroyed out scouters,” replied Blue blue. The pony rubbed against his face to make sure it wasn’t singed by that hit.

“That’s right, I noticed you had scouters. I’m guessing it’s what you used to track the first village and it’s probably going to take time for you to track the other villages now.”

The leader’s face creased as she finally showed some frustration for a change. “Very clever, but all you have done is delay the inevitable, including for that little one that I was going to spare if you only complied. Gilda.”

The griffon now appeared behind the mayor and clutched her head with her own ticked off expression on her face. “You really shouldn’t have done that!” Gilda had then snapped the mayor’s neck. When she then let go, the pony dropped to the ground dead.

“Gilda, you’ve made me happy all day until now,” said Night mare moon.

“What?”

“I wanted you to force the mayor to watch you kill the little one before you dealt with her.”

“Oh, um sorry about that,” said the griffon and almost choked until she gulped. “I’ll get right now on it, I swear.”

The griffon glided off after the small pegasus and had her talons opened to tear her. But just before she could touch her, she was booted in the side of the head and crashed into the side of a building. While the two other villains were then stunned at Rarity’s appearance. Spike came behind had grabbed the small pegasus and the two boosted off. Pinkie Pie then appeared where they had been and stretch one eye, stuck out her tongue and went. “Neh!” and followed behind her friends.

“Blueblood, can you explain what just happened?”

“I can’t, but what I can explain is that they took off with the pegasus and drop kicked Gilda in a cloud-crafted house.”

“I can see that. Gilda would you mind explaining to me though what you are doing lying around and not chasing after them?”

The griffon had pulled herself out of the wreckage she caused and propelled herself right on their tails.

Far from the site, the group had gone forward in a random direction, unsure of where they were going.

“Why did I just do that?” asked Rarity.

“You just did what we all wanted to do and we seriously couldn’t let that big bully take her,” replied Pinkie Pie.

“Yes, but now we have an big awful brute after us”

An energy blast struck from behind them, but the group were able well get out of its way.

“It’s something to be careful about talking behind my back, but I’d be more careful when talking while I’m behind your backs!”

The griffon was behind him and already about to close in behind him.

“Quick we need to lose her!” shouted Rarity.

“She’s really fast though!” replied Pinkie Pie.

“Yeah but let’s see how agile she is!”

The group descended close the ground with the griffon after them. The group then scattered around the islands like a flies, while the griffon simply crashed through them. She could see her seem rapidly digress though as the terrain slowed her down and was hindered by her decision making of what one to go after.

Raised back up in to the air, Gilda built her energy around her and yelled. “You won’t get away from the likes of me!” She then fired down a rain of shots that reaped across the surface and hammered against the islands in an effort to catch them. She failed to notice from the scatters and concealment however, that one of them was missing in the ground. Gilda found her when Rarity appeared in front of her and yelled.

“Astounding flare!”

A shine of light then burned against Gilda’s eyes and she used her talons to cover them in agony.

“What did you punks just do to me!”

Rarity had propelled away though, before she could answer. It left the griffon blind of a good enough minute. Her eyes began to relax and took her talons away from them. But when she could see again, she saw smiling right in her face, was Trixie.

“Hallo Gilda.”

The next thing the griffon knew, she was smacked across the face and dropped into the rainbow coloured waters. The unicorn then gently lowered herself down onto one of the islands and watched Gilda drag herself back out hectically.

“Trixie that took a lot of nerve you loser!”

“Nice to see you as well.”

“Cut out the smart talk.” Gilda’s eyes then moved to the scouter over Trixie’s eye. “I’ll tell you what, hand over the scouter and I’ll bring you to Night mare moon who I promise will be a lot more merciful with punishing you than I will if you don’t.”

“Oh you mean this?” Trixie used her magic to remove the scouter if from her face. She then levitated it over and looked like she was about to graciously hand it to the griffon who grinned and held her talons out to accept it, but then the scouter exploded midway.

“What the! Have you gone off your head Trixie! We have no more scouters now until a base delivers some more!”

“Still relying upon such obsolete devices?”

“What are you talking about? Did you hit your head or something while you were in Equistria or something.”

“Oh something happened alright, a lot of things in fact. One was I learnt from them that you could sense power levels. With how amazing I am, I was able to learn the technique in no time.”

“How fancy, but what are you going to do now?”

“Same thing that I tried to do on Equistria, but succeed this time, collect all six Orbs of harmony and get my wish.”

“So you really have gone rogue have you. I knew Night mare moon should’ve just wiped you clear instead of taking you in, it’s a mistake that I’ll soon correct!”

Gilda fired from her mouth an energy beam directly at Trixie. The unicorn however leapt over it and fired her own blast. The griffon jumped out of the blast, but was stunned by the wave of impact. This allowed Trixie to appear right over her and wallop the griffon. Gilda remained on all fours however, even though her head nearly screwed off her shoulders. She lifted her talons and tried to claw her but the unicorn rolled back and then drop kicked the griffon.

Just as the griffon struggled to get up, she was instantly paralysed and realised she had been caught in Trixie’s magic.

“H-how are you this strong! You were never strong this before!”

“I and the two other unicorns planned on turning against Night mare moon for some time. We knew though that you all would have your guards up, so I the great and powerful Trixie, had me and Snail hide our power levels as we progressed to work our way to overthrow her. Though I will admit we did not bother hiding Dawnshade’s, his power level was way too weak already to be a threat. Although I will also add that I did get a significant work out on Equistria that may have made a difference on my power level.”

“Th-that’s just not right. You’re just a unicorn! A weak-!” Gilda was pushed back by Trixie’s magic before she could finish and bowled right into a hill. Its heavy clouds then rolled and shattered over the griffon before she finally started to get up again.

“I’d be careful of what you say. I’ve already gotten back at you for your doubts of my greatness.”

Cooled down and realised she was outmatched here, Gilda muttered. “Okay-okay, what do you want from me?”

“Any information you might have.”

“Um okay, this here’s something top secret that nobody wanted to let you know, if I told you it, will you let me live?”

“I’ll kill you if you don’t tell me.”

“Alright-alright, okay thing is, you know how Night mare moon wasn’t afraid of your unicorn empire right. Well what if I told you that all changed when she noticed how big your empire was getting and how strong individual unicorns were getting, that she needed to put a stop to it.”

“Heh, so Night mare moon was scared of how strong the unicorns were getting after all.”

“Yeah, but that it isn’t all, Night mare moon wanted to solve this problem so she got all the unicorns she could together on your continent and she was the one responsible for your destruction.”

There was a shocked look from Trixie, but she soon removed it from her face. “Night mare moon did destroy my home after all.” She then looked at the surprised look on Gilda’s face. “Oh yes, I knew all along that she destroyed my home, just wasn’t fully sure, but because of the little effort you all put into hiding it. I’d here the others talk about it as I walked by, just wasn’t sure if what I heard was correct. Though now that I Trixie now know, I can seek vengeance out on Night mare moon for toppling the magnificent unicorn empire in all its glory as well as get back at her for how she treated me.”

The griffon started to slowly drift off the ground as Trixie went into her rant. When she stopped though, Gilda quickly spoke. “Um okay, I’ll let you do that, won’t see any complaints from me.”

“Run if you must Gilda, but I will not let you live, someone like you doesn’t deserve to.”

Gilda panicked and high tailed it out of here. But with a flash of Trixie’s unicorn, the griffon paused and exploded to pieces, a spectacle that made Trixie grin with delight.

“Time to bring an end to it all, Night mare moon.”

With numerous attempts to stop Appleboom and Sweetie Belle from sneaking off, Applejack had resort to just keeping her eye on them literally. The three looked as if they were in some sort of staring contest at the way they stood between one another and they all refused to blink, it was rather silly really.

Appeared from the sky though and landed down, everyone else returned.

“Hum diggy you’re all back!” shouted Applejack relieved. Everyone then rushed over to them to greet. “Did you find out more about this place?”

“We did, but it isn’t good, those goons we saw have four of the Orbs of harmony and aren’t really being friendly about it. They’ve gone around and slaughtered the pegasi for them,” said Rarity.

“My goosh, did anything else happen?”

“We saved this one here, her names um, what’s your name again?” asked Spike.

The pegasus shyly stepped forward with her head down. “Scootaloo.”

“Well welcome to the whole gang little fella, I hope you’re alright?” The pegasus didn’t respond however.

“I’m afraid she’s the only one left out of her entire village. The last pegasus though didn’t die in vain, she  sacrificed herself to destroy their scouters to hinder them from finding the other orbs of harmony and give Scootaloo enough time to give us some space to save her,” said Rarirty.

“Sounds like what a day, but now they know were here.”

“Well we had to do something,” snapped Pinkie Pie.

“I know, but fact is that they do now know and here I was hoping this here quest would be less exciting.”

“Well either way, it’s getting dark and we’ve had a lot that’s been going on, I advise we shelter for tonight until we can figure out a plan of action of what we are to do,” said Rarity.

“Does sound like a plan. I’ve lost a lot of energy just trying to keep a hold of these two.”

“You coming Scootaloo?” questioned Applebloom.

The pegasus just kept her head down and reluctantly followed the group into the cave.

“Poor girl,” whispered Rarity over to Spike. “I hope she recovers from that tragic experience- Spike?” She saw the dragon beside her with a goofy smile on his face.

Arrived at Pinkie Pie’s house in a small village called Ponyville, Twilight had gone around back to find Owlysious and Cherliee with construction worker helmets on and worked on the a large round aircraft device.

“Oh hallo Twilight,” said a blue female pony and red hair, who trotted over and placed down a tray filled with orange juice and donuts. “So nice to see you again, thank you for saving my daughter from those awful unicorns.”

“Hi Mrs Cakes, do you have any idea where I can find Mr Cakes?”

“Right here Twilight,” said a yellow male pony with orange hair, walked out from the aircraft. “Just finished with the gravity machine.”

“Gravity machine?”

“Yep, I’m not sure if Granny Smith told you, but I’ve been hearing voices in my head that got me to build this thing. So happened that I got a look at that apparent pegasus aircraft and a look at that unicorn aircraft, so was able to build our very own earth pony aircraft. I also got inspired by what the voices said about its world with really strong gravity and thought to build a gravity machine inside. Reason why is so that your training can be more intense while you’re on your way to Cloudsdale.”

“Wow! Really that’s awesome!”

“Be warned though, I don’t have an exact idea of how strong you’ve become Twilight, but before careful with the machine. It can go up to a hundred times earth’s gravity, I’m pretty sure anywhere near that will crush you in an instant and you’ll be no more than a pancake.”

“I believe you, when I trained with Zecora, I could barely handle ten times earth’s gravity.”

“Wait, Zecora was the name of-.” He had almost gotten trampled by Cherliee who rushed pass soon as she was done with the work on the ship.

“I can’t believe you’re off again Twilight.”

“Neither can I, I just got out of the hospital and already I’m on another adventure like old times.”

“Old times indeed, but I’m afraid I won’t be able to join you again. Sorry, but all I did was just old you back and cause a problem on our adventures.”

“Would you be surprised though if I insisted for you to come if it wasn’t for the fact that I was going to be in ship above ten times earth’s gravity?”

“To be honest no, just about most our adventures you dragged me along!”

“Well I’ll miss seeing you again Cherliee and all of you, but first I have to restore everything before the unicorns came, including getting back our other friends.”

“Good luck Twilight,” said Cherliee.

“How long will it take me to get to Cloudsdale anyhow?” questioned Twilight over to Mr Cake.

“If the fixed coordinates Zecora gave me are right, then I’d say three days.”

“Three days! But that’s one extra day than what they took!”

“What can I say, it’s the first of its kind and I only had about a week to make it.”

“Nevermind, I have to get there fast, thanks for everything everyone!” Twilight had rushed into the ship and the door started to close in behind her.

“Alright, Twilight, hope everything goes smoothly and that you bring back our daughter,” said Mrs Cakes.

Everyone then waved as the ship took off into the air and speeded off after it caught a number of ponies’ attention.

Inside the ship, Twilight observed everything. She noticed there was plenty of good in the fridge, lots of water and electronic entertainment systems. Though none of that she was really interested at the moment. She finally looked at the control panel in the centre of the room and noticed that one of the screens displayed the number one and a small g next to it.

“Huh, wonder if this is it.”

She clicked on a random button and saw the number change to ten. A little agitated how she didn’t feel any different, she pressed it a couple of times and saw it change to forty. The next thing Twilight knew, she was forced onto the ground by this huge weight. Just managed to cling her leg over the panel and pressed onto another random button and triggered the number to change back to one.

Back up again, Twilight breathed heavily from that surprise and said. “Okay, this is it. But really shouldn’t go any higher as forty. I think twenty might do though, but hopefully not pushing it.” She clicked the first bottom she pressed twice and saw it change to twenty. Immediately the weight came back down but wasn’t able to exactly force Twilight down. “Alright, this’ll do.”

She stamped her way to the centre of the room and went off to train.
