With Aunt Orange and Uncle Orange now dead, there's no reason for Scootaloo to stay in the apartment (besides, the plot needs to move quickly). She came back to the others (after getting rid of Hans Zimmerman's body) and they made their way somewhere else.
Soon, the group continued walking through the city until they stopped to look at the view. Standing there was a part of a city.
"Central Manehatten. You'll never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. In other words, it's full of gangsters." Twilight said with a sigh.
"How are we even going to find a pilot here?" Fluttershy asked.
"We'll just look super hard." Pinkie answered with a shrug.
Scootaloo and Fluttershy flew into Central Manehatten with Pinkie and Twilight following close behind her on the ground. They needed a ride to Canterlot and unfortunately, Central Manehatten was the only place to get it.
The heroes arrived at the entrance to Central Manehatten, only to get stopped by a Changeling.
"Get lost! You can't get into this part of the city unless you have an identification!" The Changeling snapped, blocking their path.
Calmly, Twilight put up her hoof and said, "You don't need our identifications."
"I don't need your identifications." The Changeling repeated while in a trance.
"You saw me here last week. I'm one cool pony."
"I saw you here last week. You're one cool pony."
"Move along." Twilight smirked. Her Jedi Mind Trick worked.
"Move along." The Changeling repeated as he moved out of the way to let the group in.
Then, it cuts to the inside of a night club which housed some of the most terrible gangsters, criminals, thieves, smugglers, and bad actors and comedians known. If anyone were to find a pilot (and lived to tell the tale), this is the place.
Scootaloo and Twilight entered the club (Pinkie and Fluttershy were tossed out because of the place's 'no droids or we'll kill you' policy) and looked around. As a band played, everything that was mentioned above was either eating, drinking, having conversations, or gambling. The heroes walked past Berry Punch drinking from the bar with Daring Do while another pony talked a pony named Noteworthy.
"Hey, this place looks awesome! Do you think we should use it for a movie?" Scootaloo asked.
"Focus! We have to find a pilot!" Twilight snapped.
"Excuse me, are you looking for a pilot?" A voice asked. Twilight saw a baby dragon with green eyes, green spikes, and light purple scales with a light green underbelly and light green "ears". His name is Spike.
"Yeah, how about we sit down and talk about it?" Twilight nodded while she and Spike walked to a nearby table.
Bored, Scootaloo went over to the bar to get a drink. As the bartender shoved the drink in front of her, the orange Pegasus yelped as she got shoved. Scootaloo turned to see a random pony yelling at her in gibberish. She groaned and tried to ignore the pony that was yelling at her. Suddenly, she felt somepony tapping her which only annoyed her more. Scootaloo turned to see another pony looking at her.
"He doesn't like you, stupid head!" The pony snapped in annoyance.
"Well, sorry!" Scootaloo said, rolling her eyes.
"I don't like you either!"
"Chill out! You two don't even know me!"
The pony shrugged and said, "Fine, I'll leave you alone."
On the stage, the band started playing the same song again.
Back outside, Pinkie and Fluttershy were waiting for Scootaloo and Twilight to finish until they saw some Changelings looking around for them.
"Oh no! Changelings! We have to warn the others, Fluttershy!" Pinkie yelled.
"But if we get into the nightclub, they'll kill us, you idiot!" Fluttershy snapped.
Pinkie just rolled her eyes while she and Fluttershy hid behind some garbage cans.
Back at the nightclub, Spike took Scootaloo and Twilight to a booth where a figure was sitting. It was an Earth Pony stallion with light green eyes, a blonde mane with amber streaks, and a yellow coat with an apple as a cutie mark wearing a brown cowboy hat and vest. His name is Braeburn.
"Howdy, partners. The name's Braeburn. I'm captain of the Millennium Apple. Spike here tells me you're looking for a pilot." Braeburn greeted Twilight and Scootaloo.
"That's right!" Scootaloo nodded.
"Yes, we were looking for a pilot." Twilight replied.
"Is your ship really fast?" Scootaloo asked hopefully.
"Are you kidding me? This is the Millennium Apple we're talking about, kid! It made the bull run in less than 20 parsecs!" Braeburn laughed.
"But wait, isn't parsec a unit of distance, not time?" Twilight asked.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Don't ruin the moment, ok? Spike, take these two to the ship and get ready."
"On it, Captain!" Spike nodded as he began to lead Scootaloo and Twilight out of the club.
Just before Braeburn can get out of the club, he was stopped by a purple teenage dragon with blonde hair, keeping him at his seat.
"Just where do you think you're going, Braeburn?" The dragon asked while sat across from the yellow Earth Pony.
"Look, I just want to see your boss. Tell Gilda that I have the money." Braeburn explained.
"Gilda doesn't have time for you! She's too busy beating up some random dweebs nowadays!" The dragon scoffed.
Suddenly, Braeburn took out a hoof held pistol and fired at the dragon though it wasn't really clear on who shot first while smoke filled the booth.
Braeburn got up from his seat and proceeded to walk out of the club while throwing some bits at the bartender and saying, "Sorry about the mess."
