Quest

-Calm Down, Bro-

If Twilight were patient, she would get her way - by recoil or intelligence - if need be. But her long and famous patience was not strong enough for Patrick nor Spongebob. Those two little sea creatures caused destruction to her home and freedom. Now she was being forcibly boarded onto a slave ship named the SC-I, along with her dear friends. The ship was small, dark, damp, and rusty, treating them like the ship intended them to be.

Although with her magic, she could utterly destroy the foundations of their being to mere dust with the addition of her anger, their protective armor kept her from doing so. Rainbow Dash was most violent to retaliate, second to Applejack.

"Let me go you alien scum! If you so much as probe me!" The guard had just enough, and tased her in the side with a sharp rod. The pain escalated through her body, and she fell to the ground in a limp daze - although alive, she was utterly shocked. Literally.

"W-what did you do to her!" Screamed Rarity. The guard turned, and purposely chose not to respond. Applejack helped her friend by lifting her, and shamefully trotting inside the small cell at the end of the ship.

Another guard, more darker and sleek when it came to his armor, followed them and sharply shut the cell door. He began to speak - his voice deep and intimidating.

"You belong to me now. As long as you six ponies are in my custody, you are not allowed to speak, scream, eat, or beg!" Twilights patience shortened. She braced the bars, as if she were to break them.

"Where are Spongebob and Pat--" She started, but it quickly ran short.

"Silence!" He yelled. The wave of dominance bounced off the walls and rung in her ears.

"Spongebob and Patrick are on a separate ship, and that is all that you need to know." The warden of the ship turned and nodded, and the pilot rebooted the vessel to fly. Twilight and her friends were slowly being descended into the dark void of space.

_-_-_

"Ya' got any liquid sausage on this field trip?" Patrick asked Dark, completely oblivious to whats going on. Dark sat exactly across from him, unmoving, staring with his dark soulless eyes.

"No." He said with little emotion. Although Patrick didn't quite understand the gravity of the situation, Spongebob did, and nudged him in the shoulder, silently shushing him.

"What? I'm just hungry."

"I realize that Patrick, but we're sort of inside a heavily armored ship, guarded and watched by the commander of the entire fleet that attacked Twilights home world. Dont you think you can be a little bit more... quiet?"

"Nope!"

_-_-_

Darks sleek ship buzzed with the ongoing work of its crew members - nearly thousands - working with steady hooves to edge the ship towards perfection. What was waiting at the docking bay for the leaders prisoners were medical droids and special armored sentry to escort them. The SC-I skimmed inside the vessel, along with Darks personal cruiser. The large prison ship opened first, with the warden leading out the Twilight with the rest of her friends. Darks ship flew in yards away, safely landing on the chrome plated floor.

As Twilight walked out, her jaw nearly dropped to the ground, seeing the massive infrastructure of the ship and the aliens around her. Then she saw Patrick.

Her memories flooded back into her. Images of the crumbling city rushed through her mind. Her reflexes reacted, and she jumped, then releasing an intimidate neigh.

"Patrick!" She screamed. Patrick turned, and saw her across the docking bay. He merely waved. Twilights anger rose higher. Before she could attack, the warden activated her shackles, releasing a short but disciplinary shock. She stopped in her place, and so did the warden once he noticed Dark was trotting towards him - with Spongebob and Patrick by his side.

"Warden CKack! I do so hope you didn't show mercy on the way back, did you?"

"Not at the slightest, sir."

"Good." Dark turned and acknowledged a guard.

"Give me the current status of the Arbus." The guard was currently a rookie, and nearly fumbled with the holographic disc in his hoof.

"Uhh... c-currently well, sir! Engines are at full capacity, The UTS is near completion, and the computer has just updated iTunes!"

"Good. CKack? Take the elements of harmony to the prison station and keep them locked, along with Patrick and Spongebob. If these two ever leave your clutches, It'll be your head that will go missing!" Dark left them and headed up to the main command center of the ship, while CKack stood there, trembling slightly. CKack shook his head of his fears, and looked at the sentry at his command. He smiled wickedly, feeling the sense of power that he desperately loved.

"Sentrys! Pair the six ponies in two of each cell. And make sure Spongebob and Patrick get their own individual ones, under high surveillance. Do I make myself clear?!" The sentrys saluted, honoring their command.

"I can't take this anymore! I can't go back to space prison!" Without warning, Pinkie Pie jumped high into the air, and dropkicked CKack in the face.

"Gah!" Pinkie took no time to wait, and ran at full speed towards the ships many corridors.

"Get her! And take all these useless prisoners to the cages where they belong!"

_-_-_

"You idiot!" Twilight yelled with pure anger.

"You imbecile and train wreck of evolution! You caused all of this!" Patrick rested himself on the bench provided in the cell.

"Yes, and you should be thanking me."

"THANK YOU?!"

"You're welcome."

Twilights hair was a large plume of fire and smoke at this point, and the only thing standing in her way was the thick titanium bars between them.

"Do you even have a plan to get us out of this mess?!"

"Don't worry about it! I'm sure Spongebob is already kicking butts all around the ship by now."

"I'm right here..." Spongebob said from the next cell.

"Oh... well, I've got nothin'. Better wait this out until this whole thing blows over."

"I HATE YOU PATRICK STAR!" Twilight screamed.

_-_-_

"How long now until we can jump back?"

"Seven hours sir."

"Good. The sooner we can go back to Squidtopia, the better."
