A kidnapper is afoot in the city of Maretropolis, over 300,000 ponies have been stolen in the night. It's up to the Power Ponies to bring justice to the villain.

A new threat is arising in Maretropolis.

The population of this massive landscape used to be 1,000,000 ponies. Over the past few months, that number has been reduced to 679,358. Meaning, a kidnapper is afoot.

It was also at the same time that, a number of laser-cannon satellites were hijacked by unknown forces and equipped with an archaic power.

As the danger worsens, and the kidnapping continues, the Power Ponies are called in to investigate the kidnappings and bring justice to the fiend. However, their opponent is not what they were expecting in the slightest...

A big thank you to GemstoneTheUnicorn for the cover picture.

Enter The Fiendish Foal

A cold, dark night in Maretropolis, as always. Most of the town's lights were starting to go out for the night, and the streets looked deserted as they would usually do at this time of night.

However, one pony was running for his life through the darkness, trying to outrun something that looked like bunches of cubes, stacked up to look human and brought to life. He was running down an alley, fear running through his mane and face. He thought he could escape his chasers by running through the alley, but the humanoid cube things were in close pursuit.

The pony ran and ran and ran until...

"No! A dead end!" He said in horror, knowing he was an earth pony and had never seen these things before. He put his back against the wall as the two things closed in on him and outstretcthed their arms, ready to grab him, "Please, I'll do anything, anything. Just let me go in peace!" He started to say in fear as they got closer and closer to him.

"Weww, dat's good to heaw." A voice from the roof of the alley said as the two cube-like monsters grabbed the pony by the arms and legs and lifted him up. He could feel a sort of plastic that he hadn't felt since... he was a foal.

As they hauled him away into the darkness, all he could do was let out a deafening scream that echoed across the streets of Maretropolis, leaving no street, shop or even alley quiet.

_____________________________

The next day, the Power Ponies were relaxing in their underground fortress. It was mainly cave-like, with the exception of a hell of a lot of gadgetry and machines. Some of them were practicing their powers on hololgraphic targets, which exploded into pixels before vanishing when the Power Ponies hit them with their special powers.

For anypony that wasn't training, they were busy working on some new gizmos for their talking supercomputer which they named, "C.A.R.O.L.I.N.E." That stands for, Computing And Righteous Operation Leading Intelligent Neural Engine. Radiance and the Masked Matterhorn were tweaking some of the buttons and fixing a few of the wires, to give C.A.R.O.L.I.N.E. some upgrades.

"Are you two sure you know what you're doing down there?" C.A.R.O.L.I.N.E. asked as the ponies were fixing her up, she didn't talk very mechanical like most other talking computers and was talking like a mare. Everytime she did talk, some lights on top of her console would light up and her screen would show a face with digital eyes and mouth.

"Without a doubt, C.A.R.O.L.I.N.E." Radiance said as she quickly rearranged several wires in a hatch at C.A.R.O.L.I.N.E.'s lowest area, "With this new communications uplink we're installing, you'll be able to watch every corner of Maretropolis 24/7. Making sure that no fiendish criminals can commit their dastardly acts of crime on this fair little city."

"Good to know that." C.A.R.O.L.I.N.E. responded as the ponies got back to work, "I have needed an upgrade from this awful satellite feed I keep getting."

Zap was busy, shooting down holographical criminals with her control of the weather, shooting lightning at a few holograms before destroying all of them with a powerful hurricane. After her portion of training had ended, she headed out the door for some well earned R&R.

"Alright, Filly Second, you're next." Zap motioned to her companion as she bolted into the training arena. Once she was in, there was a maelstrom of digital particles in the center of the room, all of which, started to transform into what looked like a medieval arena. Shortly after this, the digital enemies were materialized.

"Let's go!" Filly Second said as the enemies started to charge in on her. They were touching distance away from her when she bolted forward at lightspeed, knocking all of the digital enemies to the floor before exploding and creating new ones. She ran in circles to confuse the enemies before running up the walls and onto the ceiling. It was hard to do it for anypony else, but this was Filly Second and once she was in prime position, she leapt from the ceiling and landed like a meteor onto the arena floor, causing a shockwave to erupt and destroy all of the holographs around her.

"It's a shame there isn't any more of you." She said as she took a stroll out of the arena to recharge and catch her breath, "Alright, who's next?"

"It's done." Said the Masked Matterhorn as she closed the panel they were working on, "The new communications system is online. Since we've hooked it up to the surveillance outpost in Maretropolis, we've got eyes on the entire town now."

"And not just eyes." Radiance took a bow as the other Power Ponies gathered around them, "We've also connected to the media and news. Meaning we also have ears as well."

"Ah bet it took a while ta get all of those there wires to the right positions to get that workin'." Mistress Marevelous said as the ponies watched C.A.R.O.L.I.N.E. bring up a loading bar which was quickly filling up.

"Actually, It was pretty easy." Masked Matterhorn admitted, "I mean we did have to turn down a few book signings and press conferences, but it was worth it to improve our city's security."

"But doesn't this town already have enough security?" Filly Second asked, "I mean there's the cops, the feds, the army, the navy, the 3rd pegasus battalion, the army of unicorns, all of which never get the criminals in time-"

"USEFUL security."

"Ohhh, now I get it." She calmed her talking speed down a little.

"Alright, we've got the local news." C.A.R.O.L.I.N.E. spoke as she replaced her screen with the news, "Now let's see what's going on."

"Anyone want some popcorn?" Filly Second came back with a bowlful of it, "It's fresh."

"How did ya-" Mistress Marevelous was stopped by a hoof.

"I'm Filly Second, duh. The fastest thing alive." Was all that she said before burying her face in the hot popcorn, letting her mouth do the work for her.

"We'll bring you more on this blaze in the Everfree Forest as it continues." The newscaster said behind a desk with papers in hooves, "In other news, Maretropolis is still under the threat of kidnapping, as today, the population of this city was lowered by over 300,000 ponies over the past 3 months."

"What?" Masked Matterhorn gasped as she heard the shocking news, "C.A.R.O.L.I.N.E., turn it up."

"For those of you joining the story, it began with the Maretropolis Gala 3 months back." There was a small screen in the corner of the news screen which was enlarged now to cover the whole screen, "There were almost 300,000 ponies at that party until a blackout occured. It was only until after the blackout was fixed, that the whole party was deserted and nopony was found." The screen changed and showed accurate footage as the newscaster spoke her lines.

"Of course, after this certain little act of mass kidnapping, we did a secure search of the building to find some evidence." The screen changed to a cop pony talking into a microphone just outside of the building, "But our efforts seem to be fruitless. No serious evidence that links to a kidnapper, all we could find was this building block." He held up the foalish item before putting it down and turning to the camera, "I urge everypony in Maretropolis, stay in your homes and keep your children close by you. Who knows who this fiend could take next?"

"Once the cops declared retail and large buildings unsafe for ponies to enter without being taken, certain ponies were now being captured off of the street by these weird, things." The screen showed a silhouette of one of the humanoid things."

"C.A.R.O.L.I.N.E., can you run an anti-silhouette scan on that picture?" Radiance asked as the video was paused.

"Sure, it'll only take a second." A green line was now running across the screen, filling in the silhouette with colour, revealing the perpetrators. They looked like a ton of building blocks, stacked up to resemble humans.

"What are those?" Saddle Rager decided to ask first, "I've never seen them before in my life."

"I was about to ponder the same question myself." C.A.R.O.L.I.N.E. said to all the Power Ponies, "Let's just watch the rest of the video."

"The cops then motioned today, to barricade any and all dark alleys, so that nopony else would ever get stolen." The screen returned to the newscaster pony, "This just in, a bunch of satellites, nicknamed The Youth-Oria Project, were hijacked just ten minutes ago."

"Satellite capture and kidnapping? What's going on here?" Zap seemed a little concerned.

"The Youth-Oria Project, for those of you that don't know, was to keep young ponies alive and well by monitoring their health from the cosmos." The newscaster said as she brought up the picture of the many satellites orbiting the planet, "These satellites were also equipped with laser cannons the second they were hijacked."

"Something seems wrong here, but I can't be sure." Masked Matterhorn placed a hoof on her chin and stroked it.

"The hijackers seem to be in accordance with the kidnapper as well." The newscaster said, making Masked Matterhorn lose her train of thought.

"What could this kidnapper want to do with those satellites?"

"We don't know what those lasers are being charged up with, but we know for a fact, that's it's not good. We'll bring you more on this story as it continues-" The lights in the studio went dark, a crashing noise, followed by many ponies screaming could be heard before the entire screen turned to a technical difficulties screen with the iconic bleep sound, the text also said Technical Difficulties before C.A.R.O.L.I.N.E.'s digital face was shown again.

"Who'd want to capture townsponies?" Saddle Rager felt a little peeved, "This kidnapper has no right to take innocent ponies hostage and threaten them. It makes me so frustrated I could just... I could just go nuts!"

"Whoa, Saddle Rager." Zap patted her back a little and stroked her, "Calm down, save it for the bad guys, ok?"

"I might not know who's behind this, but I know somepony who might know instead." C.A.R.O.L.I.N.E. spoke to them all as her screen changed to show a picture of a foal with pink skin and white poofy hair, "This is Gifted Child. She's the only foal in Maretropolis and possibly all of Equestria who can talk and is a child genius. And considering that Equestria doesn't have any foal child geniuses, this is quite a lucky find for us. She may know who the kidnapper is and what he or she is planning to do with the kidnapped ponies."

"Alright, so what do you want us to do?" Radiance asked as C.A.R.O.L.I.N.E.'s face returned to the screen.

"I need you to go over to Gifted's house on the outskirts of town and try to get some information out of her. Once you have what you need to know, head over to the kidnapper's place and deliver your swift justice."

"One more question." Marevelous decided to ask, "Which outskirts of town?"

"The eastern outskirts, It's a country house just down the road, you can't miss it." C.A.R.O.L.I.N.E. told her, "I'll brief you on the details via flank radio once you arrive. Good luck, Power Ponies."

"Alright, team. Let's move out." Masked Matterhorn spoke to the rest of her team, "We'll need to make sure we can get something out of this foal genius. We'll only call Humdrum in when we go for the kidnapper's stronghold, got it?"

"Got it!" The other ponies said together.

"Let's move."

The 6 ponies were now dashing into what looked like elevators, with their PP insignias emblazoned on the doors. They took the lifts up and out of the cave-like fortress, being scanned with a green field all the while, to check for body temperature, blood pressure, the durability of their powers, you know, stuff like that. Once the lifts deemed all 6 suited ponies fit for battle, the roof of the lift opened and the lifts accelerated rapidly. Once their platforms got out into the outdoors, they stopped instantly, catapulting all 6 Power Ponies into the air, they didn't seemed to fazed by this and now did some sweet tricks before slamming into the ground below. They weren't far from their destination, seeing as they had landed in the grass instead of the city, like they usually do. And it just seemed like a leisurely stroll to them as they moved over to a pretty rustic house in the field.

It looked ruined from afar, but it was still structurally intact once the Power Ponies arrived at the door and decided to knock on it a little.

"Come in." A high pitched voice said as the door slid open by push alone. The Power Ponies walked upstairs to what looked like a dark and dismal room with a desk in the corner. Sure enough, Gifted was sitting on the chair as it spun around to face them, "Weww, weww, weww. If it isn't da Powew Ponies. I've been expecting yoo."

"How did you know we were coming?" Zap decided to ask .

"Youw, big entwance doesn't weawwy go unnoticed." Gifted said as she shuffled some papers on her desk, "I twust dat yoo aww want someting fwom me, cowwect?"

"That's right, you really are a foal genius." Radiance complimented the foal's logic, "We need you to get some dirt on this mysterious kidnapper who's been plaguing Maretropolis for a while now. Do you have any leads?"

"Kidnappew?" Gifted looked a little confused as she turned to face the Power Ponies again before regaining her composure, "Oh, wight, da kidnapper. Weww, I can onwy weave yoo wid a cwue fow now." She wrote something down on a piece of paper and then hoofed it over to the Power Ponies.

"The kidnapper, is closer than you think, it lies so far away, but is definitely close to this place." They all read aloud before Masked Matterhorn slipped it into her pocket.

"What does that mean?" Saddle Ranger asked.

"It's a widdwe fow yoo to figuwe out." Gifted jumped down from her chair and walked the Power Ponies to the door, "Dat's aww I can teww yoo fow now. Da twuth wiww be weveawed soon enough."

"A riddle, is it? Marevelous asked herself, "We'd better run it through C.A.R.O.L.I.N.E.'s console just ta make sure that it ain't some kinda wild goose chase." They all walked out the door, "Thanks fer yer time, Gifted."

After the Power Ponies were all heading back to base, Gifted went back upstairs and pushed a few hidden buttons on her desk, making it revolve and show what looked like an advanced control panel and digital map of Equestria.

"Dose Powew Ponies awe on to me." Gifted said with a smirk growing, "Weww, it's gonna take dem fowevew to find dis, anonymous kidnappew." She pushed a button and a lift appeared next to her desk. She pushed a button which was at the bottom of her lift instead of the middle like usual, "Soon, I'ww get da foawhood I nevew got to expewience, and if dose Powew Ponies twy to stop my new wowwd, I'll just have to send dem back down memowy wane." She made a suspicious laugh before the lift descended into what looked like the basement of the house.

__________________________

"C.A.R.O.L.I.N.E., we got a message from Gifted." Masked Matterhorn said once they all came close to the computer again, "But we were unsure whether or not it was truth or not. Can you do a quick analysis just to be sure?"

"Sure, just insert it into the slot near the control panel and I'll do a quick truth test on it." C.A.R.O.L.I.N.E. told them as what looked like a pulldown hatch on the wall opened up, revealing a slim shaft for paper. Masked Matterhorn placed the paper in and C.A.R.O.L.I.N.E. got to work.

A screen appeared above the hatch, showing the note being sweeped by a blue light. As this note was sweeped, a wavelength bar appeared underneath the scanner, showing some large and small wavelengths.

"According to my scanner, this note is the truth." C.A.R.O.L.I.N.E. said to the Power Ponies, "And that means the kidnapper IS near Gifted!"

"Then we have our target." Zap said as she headed off into a deeper part of the cave, "I'll go get Humdrum now."

"Since this kidnapper knows how we'll exit, we'd better take a more secret passage out." A chariot with a drill appeared at the bottom of the stairs and the walls the drill was pointing at arose to reveal a wall of earth and dirt, "I installed this chariot a few weeks back, ever since that tunnel dragon infestation." Masked Matterhorn took a seat in her chair, marked with her insignia and was quickly joined by the other ponies sitting in their chairs."

"Come on, Humdrum, we need you, you're an important asset to the team on this one." Zap tried to reassure the caped dragon as he was being pushed by the pegasus's hooves.

"It just seems that every time we go out to defeat a villain, you always get yourself into some sticky situation and you need me to get you out, I'm sick of it. Why can't you just watch what you're doing?" Humdrum pouted at the ponies.

"It's not our faults." Filly Second said, "Those bad guys just got some cheap shots, that's all."

"Whatever, It just seems so stale and repetitive that you need me to bail you out when the enemies have you trapped in some weird way." He said as he reluctantly took his seat, followed by Zap taking hers, "Anyways, this kidnapper might be defended by something, something big." Humdrum explained

"Haven't you forgotten?" Radiance said once the drill started to eat the earth and the chariot started to move through the dirt, "We're the Power Ponies, nothing is too big for us to handle."

"If this fiend is guarded, we'll tear through those guards and/or barriers like tissue paper." Zap said in a confident tone.

"But I wouldn't be surprised if this bad guy just gives up on the spot." Saddle Rager told them, "It would make our lives much easier if we didn't always have to resort to brute force."

The drill pounded it's way towards the surface, near Gifted's house. The Power Ponies and Humdrum, dismounted their ride and headed inside, to make sure that Gifted Child hadn't been captured. They knocked on the door, waiting for a response. When no response came, they charged through the door, completely crushing it to splinters. They ran upstairs and saw immediately, that Gifted was gone, and there was now a control panel where her desk was and a massive hole next to it.

"Somepony must have completely ravaged the place looking for that sweet foal." Radiance said as she examined the room carefully, "This hole goes all the way down to what looks like a basement."

"If we jump, that could possibly break our bones and mess us up a little." Masked Matterhorn said as she examined the hole and how deep it was.

"And ah'm gonna guess that we won't be able ta fly all the way down either." Marevelous was peeking down the hole now as well, "It looks like it goes down forever."

"There must be something here that can help us." Humdrum was poking around with the buttons until he hit one which called forth the elevator. The Power Ponies were taken by surprise once they saw the hidden lift and all filed into it, making space for Humdrum, who pressed the button at the bottom of the cubicle, "Told ya I'd find it."

The Power Ponies and Humdrum now descended deeper into the house, into the basement, below the basement? There was obviously something fishy going on here as they saw the rooms below. It looked like one gargantuan nursery that looked the size of a villain's secret base. There were more of those building block men checking some of the hidden machines and there were ponies held down by some really tight ropes in a range of cribs on a conveyor belt.

"Noooo waaayyy." Zap said as she saw the underground complex as they went down the lift, "This is one villain who certainly likes their foals."

"Hold up." Humdrum decided to warn them, "If this is the only lift, someone must have seen it coming down and are no doubt readying their defenses for when we come to the bottom."

"Humdrum's right, arm yourselves, Power Ponies!"

The lift was nearing the bottom, thanks to a monitor on the side which showed the depth of the base. They knew that someone was waiting at the bottom floor and that they seemed ready for the task ahead. The ponies all powered up their powers and Humdrum just sat there waiting for the villain to show themselves. But instead of the lift doors opening, the entire floor below them fell. It was a trapdoor, which caught them off guard and discharged their powers. this surprise trapdoor took the ponies and the dragon down, deeper than ever thought imaginable.

They fell further, further and further. They thought that they were dead for sure, until they bounced instead of crash landed. They bounced on something, light and cushion-like before being grabbed by building block men and taken away. They tried using their magic and wings, but the captors had seen this coming and restricted their extras with some archaic magic of their own, this in turn had also affected their psychic powers as well.

"What is going on?!" Marevelous said as they were dragged down the corridors.

"You're in no position to ask questions." One of the block men said to her, "Save your words until you reach our leader. She'll listen to your last words."

The ponies and the dragon were thrown into the largest and most brightly coloured room ever thought possible. Everything was designed for foals and even the floor felt soft and comfortable. There was one revolving chair that had been padded for protection in the middle of the room and a bunch of computer screens above, showing a satellite view of the planet from a different angle.

"Mistress, we caught these grown-ups sneaking into your base." One of the guards said, "You can decide what you want to do with them."

The chair in the middle spun round and what the Power Ponies saw, was the biggest surprise they'd ever seen. Sitting in the chair, was Gifted Child, although she was also in diapers, had a pacifier in her mouth and was cuddling a soft teddy bear in her front hooves. She was also wearing a light pink cape and a light blue mask, to make her look like the villain that the Power Ponies were seeking all this time.

"Weww, weww, weww. Someponies have been vewy naughty." She said once she cleared her mouth to speak to her guests, "And it wooks wike you've bwought a fwiend wid yoo. How cute dat he gets to see yoo aww bweak down into infants again."

"Gifted, you're the kidnapper?" Masked Matterhorn finally pieced together.

"Dat's wight." She leapt off the chair and paced around it, "But as wong as I'm weawing dis getup, I an known as..." She held her voice for dramatic effect, "Da Fiendish Foaw!!!"

"How could I have been so blind?"" Masked Matterhorn started to explain to her comrades, "It all makes sense now. The building block as evidence, the block men, those satellites. She's been pulling all of those strings through out this whole ordeal!"

"Weww, yoo deciphewed da widdwe and da cwues." Fiendish Foal smirked, "But what about my mastew pwan?"

"Uhhh..." Masked Matterhorn struggled to think on this one, she was always so good as dechiphering evil plans, but not here. This was a foal she and the others was facing, the plan could be anything from world domination to mass kidnapping, "I got nothing."

"Since you'we aww doomed anyways, I suppose dewe's no hawm in tewwing yoo my big scheme." Fiendish Foal pressed a button and a hatch on the ceiling opened. What came out of it, was what looked like a laser gun from the future, the barrel glowing with light blue and pink energy and the lasers' point looking very sharp and neon, "Behowd, the Nuwsewizew 7000. A device constwucted entiwely by me, to hewp ponies wetuwn to a mowe peacefuw, infantiwe state."

"Surely you have some kind of meaning for wanting to use this weapon?" Humdrum decided to ask.

"Huh?"

"Well, it's just going to seem like a generic villain plot if you just fire this weapon without any reason. And generic villain plots are the easiest to foil from what we've done."

"I have a weason fow wanting to do dis." She hung her head slightly, "It aww began at my biwth. My pawents wewe woving and kind to me, tweated me fow da foaw I was. Untiw I became a foaw genius, it was onwy untiw aftew my new bwain stawted to devewop, dat Mama and Dada thwew me out, saying I couwd defend mysewf, I didn't wike it one bit! So I swowe a pwomise to mysewf, I wiww do anyting it takes to wetuwn foawhood to evewypony awound me, then do it on mysewf. Aftew aww, what's da point of being a foaw if dewe's no-one ewse to pway wid yoo?"

"As much as I admit that story is quite a tearjerker, it won't stop us from bringing you to justice!" Radiance said as she hid one of her tears before taking up a ready-to-fight position.

"I thought so, dat's why I'ww just take yoo to youw chiwdhoods mysewf!" She hit a button and the laser pointed towards Zap, once it was perfectly following her, the laser fired an archaic coloured beam which almost traveled at the speed of light, striking Zap directly in the chest, elicting some pained screams from her.

"ZAP!" The other ponies and Humdrum said in unison as they watched the laser pierce their companion. Zap's body, wings, hair and face got shorter and her screams of pain were suddenly turning high pitched and foalish. A flash of light and Zap disappeared from the Power Ponies' sight, leaving only her costume on the floor, there was a large lump in the costume and a cute foal version of Zap (With the hair sticking up) crawled out of the costume, over to the Fiendish Foal.

"Yoo see now, what I am capabwe of?" She gloated to the Power Ponies as she turned to the computer screens.

"You monster, put her back!!!" Saddle Rager began to get angry and red-eyed.

"If I was da good guy, I'd gwadwy put Zap back da way she was, but I'm da bad guy so yoo aww have to join hew!" The laser pointed towards the enfuriated Saddle Ranger just as she was transforming. The laser fired at the yellow pegasus just before her transformation was complete and she began to shrink down even farther than she expected.

"Saddle Rager!" Humdrum watched as the yellow pegasus shrunk down, smaller, smaller and smaller. after the flash of light, only the costume was left after a little foal Saddle Ranger crawled out of it, elicting some happy giggles as she crawled over to Zap."

"I've stawwed fow wong enough, I guess dat it's time to show yoo my pwan, befowe yoo aww go fow youw tweatments." She turned to face the remaining Power Ponies, "Those satewwites I hijacked, have been fitted wid mowe powewfuw, much biggew vewsions of dis nuwsewizew. Dey'ww aww be pewfectwy above aww de Equestwian capitows da moment Cewestia gives hew watest decwee, once dat time comes, I wiww fiwe aww of the wasews on my satewwites, stwiking evewy city on da pwanet, tuwning evewy pony in dose cities into foaws again. I wiww wemove aww negwectfuw gwown-ups fwom my new wowwd, and cweate a wowwd with noting but foaws! And by da time da gwown-ups weawize what's going on, it wiww be faw too wate."

"No." Masked Matterhorn realized at how scary that sounded, "Do you realize how many lives you're putting at risk?!"

"I'm putting no wives at wisk, awthough dewe wiww be some cowwatewaw damage, wike the end of cuwwencies, natuwaw wesouwces, the basic stuff wike dat. But foaws have no need fow such inconveniences in dis wowwd I'm making." She pushed a button on the side of her chair and suddenly, Zap and Saddle Ranger were being fed with foal food and milk, "Aww we need to suwvive in dis new wowwd is foaw food and miwk."

"No, what about the pegasi that are flying at this point, they won't be able to survive falls like that, you'll be commiting murder as well!" Masked Matterhorn tried to warn the Fiendish foal but she didn't listen and instead started to guzzle down a bottle of milk before pushing another button on her chair. She finished her bottle and made sure her mouth was clear before speaking again,.

"It's been fun, Powew Ponies, but I have a new wowwd to cweate. Guawds!!!" The remaining Power Ponies and Humdrum were now held down with archaic magic and the block men, "Take dese webewwious gwown-ups, to the nuwsewy!"

The remaining Power Ponies and Humdrum, were taken by the limbs and were about to get pulled out of the room.

"Making yourself the villain, must make you a very lonely foal inside." Masked Matterhorn said calmly to the Fiendish Foal. It certainly got her attention and she slowly turned to face the masked alicorn.

"Yoo shaww have a fwont wow seat to da demise of matuwity." She lightly scowled, "Bwing de awicown upstaiws to my viewing quawtews. I wanna see hew scweam as the wast of hew gwown-up kind is wiped fwom existance!"

"Are ya sure ya know what yer doing, Masked Metterhorn?" Marevelous decided to ask as she watched her leader being taken away with the Fiendish Foal close by her.

"Trust me, I know what I'm doing." She responded, "Just try to escape from her trap and free me from the viewing chamber. from there we'll try to figure out a way to bring Zap and Saddle Ranger back. Once they're returned to their full grown states, we send this place packing and put the Fiendish Foal behind bars."

"It's cute to say youw wast wowds to youw fwiends befowe yoo come wid me." She quietly spoke to Masked Matterhorn as they were entering another elevator behind the laser and the two foalized Power Ponies, "Because as soon as my satewwites stwike, you'ww be zapped wid my machine on da spot!"

The remaining three Power Ponies could only watch as the lift ascended out of their sights completely. Once it had vanished, the ponies and the dragon were being hauled away by the guards and taken down what seemed like an even larger corridor. It was lighter coloured than the rest and the room they were soon entering was no exception.

This new room had what seemed like a ring of cribs placed around the expansive ring-like walls, each crib had another Nurserizer laser hanging over it, all of which pointed down on the beds like a needle hanging from the sky. They got a partial view of the other cribs, but they could see that other ponies were tied down in each crib before being blasted by the lasers above, reducing them to foals again. The remaining Power Ponies were strapped down in separate cribs, far away from each other, so they couldn't pass anything useful to each other. The ropes that were holding them down had an aura, which they presumed stopped unicorn magic.

"These ropes can't hold us ferever ya know!" Marevelous said as she struggled to move in the tightened ropes.

"Struggle all you want, it only makes them tighter." A guard said as he walked over to a button in the middle of the room and pushed it, "In a few moments you'll be freed anyways, so why even bother to struggle? Don't you want eternal youth?"

The lasers started to hum and gather the archaic light from before. As the humming pitch got higher and higher, the remaining Power Ponies desperately tried to struggle and move to break free, but the ropes were sturdier than they had expected.

"These ruffians have obviously miscalculated on one little detail." Radiance smirked and psychically severed her bracelets, which quickly became bayonets, "I can make anything I please!"

Radiance quickly cut the ropes and leapt out of the crib, quickly striking the block men in quick succession, before turning to Marevelous. Radiance quickly unbinded her companion and then magically launched the bayonets at Filly Second's ropes. Just as the last ropes were cut, the lasers fired. It would have been a struggle to escape the laser's beam fast enough, but this was Filly Second and it was no sweat for her to avoid the beam and rejoin her friends.

"Whew, now that was close, even for me." Filly Second said as she stood next to her friends. It was at this time, they noticed they were one member short, "Wait, where's Humdrum?"

They looked over at Humdrum's ropes. He was missing from the binds and was lied unconscious in the crib below him. He stirred a little, making the Power Ponies feel a little worried, but then he stood up and clambered out, looking remarkably unchanged."

"Humdrum?" Radiance gasped at what she was seeing, Humdrum was alright, the laser had struck him, but he wasn't affected, "You're alright! But I must ask, how did you survive that blast?"

"I'm already a baby dragon anyways." He smartly said to them, "I wasn't gonna get any younger from this point on. I'm gonna assume that it doesn't take you all the way back to your actual birth, just to a random point in your foalhood, that and I guess it only works on ponies."

"Well that's a relief." Marevelous said as they regained their strength and made for the door, "We'd better hurry, Celestia's gonna give her decree at any moment. We need to stop the Fiendish Foal before she fires those satellites. Come on, Power Ponies, we've gotta move!" They ran out the door and down the corridor, unbeknownst to them, that they were being watched...

_______________________________

Meanwhile, in the viewing platform, the Fiendish Foal was looking over at her prize. The Masked Matterhorn was in chains instead of ropes and to add insult to injury, a special metal coat was placed over her horn so that she couldn't use her magic to break free. At least she was hung up by the chains instead of strapped to a crib like all the other captured civilians.

"Soon, my wittwe fwiend. This wowwd wiww be webown. And when dat happens, I'ww be wiving da foawhood I desewve!" She lightly scowled before stroking Masked Matterhorn's chin.

"Listen, Gifted." Masked Matterhorn tried to reason with her, "Isn't there another way to fix this problem? I know you're angry about being abandoned for being smart, but you shouldn't use all that hate on everypony else."

"Dat's easy fow yoo to say. You'we awways hating evewyting dat enwages yoo!" She got a little angry.

"Huh?"

"It's not just so evewypony can wetuwn to deiw foawhoods, I'm doing dis to puwify dis wowwd fwom cowwuption!" She sat down on another chair, "Gwown-ups awe awways angwy wid someting, most of da time it's odew countwiess, odew townsponies, even odew kids wike me. Dese gwown-ups awe awways stawting waws and being aggwesive to one anodew! Dese satewwites wiww wemove any and aww negativity fwom the foawized ponies, making dem seem cawm and happy." She leapt off the chair again, "Don't yoo see? Dis foawization pwan is de uwtimate wowwd peace as weww! Do yoo weawwy want to deny wowwd peace?"

"Listen, I know world peace isn't easy to come by these days, but that's perfectly normal for us." Masked Matterhorn could feel the chains getting tighter as each word spilled out through her mouth, "Don't you think you're going a little overboard with this? I mean, what if no-one wants world peace?!"

"You'we wight, nopony wants wowwd peace..." She paused for a moment, "DEY NEED WOWWD PEACE!!!" She pushed a button on the panel which was now appearing behind her and all the satellite views of the planet were online and functioning. The laser statistics were being shown on the computer screens below the first ones, "And one way ow anodew, I'm gonna give dem wowwd peace whedew dey want it ow not!"

"Fiendish Foal! it's an emergency! One of the guards spoke to her via communication on one of the screens in front of her.

"Vewy well den, but make it quick, Cewestia's gonna stawt hew decwee any minute now." She spoke the the block man.

"Those Power Ponies you had us lock up, they're gone! And from what we're assuming, they avoided the lasers altogether!"

"Weww don't just sit dewe twiddling youw bwicks, bwockhead. Find dem and zap dem on sight!!!" She turned the video screen back to the satellite before turning to face Masked Matterhorn again, "Weww, I didn't expect dis."

"You misunderstand us. We're the Power Ponies!" She triumphantly said, "No trap can hold us, no task is too hard. And we stick together." She flapped her wings as she spoke, "My companions will free me and then we're gonna cure Zap and Saddle Ranger, after that, you'll be struck down and locked up for your crimes!"

"Weww den, you'd bettew pway dat my men don't find dem fiwst." She smirked as she showed a handheld screen of hundreds of block men moving down the corridors, "If they don't find yoo in time, ow if dey get bwasted by my bwockheads, thewe wiww be no hope fow yoo at aww."

_________________________________

The Power Ponies ran through the dark corridors which were nothing like what they had seen before. They were mechanical and a little moist. It seemed like they were just getting darker and dark with each passing second they ran down them. Their vision was starting to become obscured and their hearing was starting to go as well.

"Does anypony know where the hay we're going?" Marevelous asked as they now ran in complete darkness.

"Hold up, I've got this." Radiance lit up her horn and the Power Ponies got some light on their surroundings. But it wouldn't be enough for them at this moment. They needed more, "It's down this way."

They ran through the corridor with the light from Radiance shining in the darkness. It wasn't very far from their position and they soon found a door with a button next to it. They were about to break through the door when they heard faint talking on the other side.

"Looks like they're onto us." Radiance took her bracelets and made disguises made out of blocks, "Just slip these on and we should go unnoticed." They opened the door and the corridor was enlightened by a brighter one. After their eyes adjusted, they saw 3 block men walking down the splits, "Don't use your powers unless you want to fight your way to the Fiendish Foal."

"I'm telling you, Gregg, our master is extroadinary." One of the chatting block men said as they stood watch, "Who else could create lasers which turn the victims into foals? Not to mention she created us with her scientific genius."

"You may be right about that little issue, Neil." Gregg said to his colleague, "But I'm starting to worry about those remaining Power Ponies." He grew a little concerned, "I mean no-one has ever escaped the nursery before. This could be the end of our plans as we know it if those Power Ponies make it to the Fiendish Foal's quarters."

"I'll butter up the guards with the information we need." Radiance walked over to the talking guards and cleared her throat, "Excuse me sirs, would any of you happen to know where the Fiendish Foal is, we're new here." She spoke through her blocky disguise.

"Sure, from here take a left, go down the 3rd right in the corridor after that and you should arrive in the Fiendish Foal's control room." The guard explained as he turned to face Radiance, "As of now, our mistress is watching the satellites well, waiting until Celestia gives her decree. Just take the elevator on the other side of the room you'll enter and she should be there, waiting for you."

"Thanks, have a nice day to you. Hopefully it'll be better once those satellites strike their mark." Radiance walked back to her disguised friends, "Alright, the path is left here, 3rd right, keep following the path and we should be at Zap and Saddle Ranger again. Just behind them is the elevator where the Fiendish Foal is keeping Masked Matterhorn." She whispered into their ears.

"We should get moving-" They were about to run when they heard a beeping from their flanks, signalling that C.A.R.O.L.I.N.E. was calling them.

"Ah, Power Ponies, she spoke to them through radio voice, alerting some of the guards, "I would have called sooner, but the connection was starting to get choppy when you went back underground."

"Way to blow our cover, C.A.R.O.L.I.N.E." Filly Second said in a foul tone as they began to run down the corridors, "You couldn't have picked a worse possible time to call us."

"Get them!!!" Neil called to his other block men and they chased after the Power Ponies as they charged down the corridors, "They must not be allowed to be mature about this!!!"

"What are you talking about, worse time?" C.A.R.O.L.I.N.E. spoke to them as they shedded their disguises to lighten their load, "And how come I'm not receiving Zap and Saddle Rager?"

"Well, that's the problem there, C.A.R.O.L.I.N.E." Marevelous said as she lassoed some guards ahead of them, "That kidnapper, is Gifted Child."

"Although, once her cover was blown, she started to call herself the Fiendish Foal or something, I can't remember, it was all happening so fast." Filly second said as she charged into some more block men ahead of her, causing their destroyed bodies to collapse all around her.

"What's more is, she's turned Zap and Saddle Rager into foals!!!" Radiance yelled as they took the 3rd right as the guards said and ran towards the room.

"Foals? Why would a villain want to turn their victims into newborns?" C.A.R.O.L.I.N.E. asked as she picked up a 4th voice on the line.

"It simpwe weawwy." The Fiendish Foal said to her via Masked Matterhorn's flank radio, "Gwown-ups awe sewfish and destwuctive. Not onwy am I gonna wetuwn evewypony to foawhood again, but I'm awso using dose satewwite wasew cannons to cweate wowwd peace, aww-foaw-stywe wowwd peace."

"Gifted, how could you do this to me?" C.A.R.O.L.I.N.E. asked as she remembered her voice very well, "And after we shared our information on Muzzlebook!"

"Sowwy, C.A.R.O.L.I.N.E." She said in a sarcastic tone which she immediately picked up on, "Dis is da way it must be, now and fowevew. I'm not taking any chances wid gwown-ups anymowe aftew what I've seen. Say youw wast wowds to youw wemaining Powew Ponies, because in a few moments, dey'ww be wovabwe infants again."

"Power Ponies, we're in dire straits here." C.A.R.O.L.I.N.E. said to them as they ran into the room with Zap and Saddle Ranger in it. The remaining Power Ponies helped Humdrum seal the door by propping the chair at it. Marevelous and Radiance did the rest of the door sealing whilst Filly Second scooped up Zap and Saddle Rager in her arms, "Radiance, I'm uploading an anti-Nurserizer program to your bracelets,however, it'll only come in the form of a foal's pacifier. You need to get the program into Zap and Saddle Rager's mouths quickly, or we'll really be in trouble."

Radiance's bracelets started to glow on one side, signalling to her that the upload was starting. She watched her bracelets until the light completely enveloped them in a flash of pink light. Once the light vanished, she created the program as C.A.R.O.L.I.N.E. explained to her. Two pacifiers, each overflowing with light were now being taken towards the playing foals. However, once Zap and Saddle Rager saw Radiance approaching with the cure, they merely giggled and ran off into another part of the room.

"Why the hay are ya playing with them?" Marevelous could only watch as Radiance started to pursue the fleeing foals, "This door won't last ferever ya know!"

"It's not me! For some reason, they don't want to be cured!" She tried cornering the foals, but when they were against the wall, Zap clapped her hooves and a bolt of lightning struck Radiance from nowhere, knocking her down momentarily and allowing the foals to run off again, "Filly Second, do you think you could, I don't know... HELP ME WITH THIS?!?!?!"

"Oops, I guess it slipped my mind." She stopped pushing what looked like a massive anvil and ran for the foals. It wasn't long before she got moving, that Filly Second caught both of the foals and was hugging them tight, "Now, Radiance, give them the program!"

Radiance was about to give them the cure until the hanging nurserizer, now pointed at Filly Second, razed her with the foalizing light. This left Zap and Saddle Rager unharmed, but for Filly Second, it felt like her entire flesh was peeling away as the laser youthened her.

Once the light dissipated again, a foal version of Filly Second poked out of the empty jumpsuit, giggled and ran off with the other super-foals again.

"C.A.R.O.L.I.N.E.! I've just lost Filly Second!" Radiance said as she began to chase the foals once more, dodging the laser's fire as she moved, "What's more, is that the laser she used to do it, is now online again and is targeting me for foalization!"

"Radiance, you're gonna have to destroy that laser before it can harm you and Marevelous." C.A.R.O.L.I.N.E. explained as Radiance was now dodging laser fire and often reflecting it with a mirror she made, "If that laser is still targeting grown ponies, you'd better destroy it before you and Marevelous join the other foalized Power Ponies!"

"Humdrum, you hold the door, I'll get the foals." She retrieved her psychic rope and had Humdrum push the door back, to prevent the guards from breaking in, "Radiance. You focus on that laser. Once it's disabled, give the rest of the team the cure whilst my rope keeps them from moving!"

Radiance grabbed the laser's attention and dodged ray after ray of foalizing laser fire before creating a massive hammer out of her bracelets. She then stood on the chair and took a powerful leap towards the laser to avoid being shot at. Once the laser was out of her way completely, she used her powers to swing the hammer at the laser, reducing it to bits of metal and clutter before they all crashed down in the middle of the room.

"Smashing." She said as Marevelous roped the foals, who were winging and whining as they struggled to break out of the psychic rope.

"Now, Radiance. Give them the cure, and fast, this rope won't last ferever!"

"And neither will this door!" Humdrum saw some splinters of the door fly off and land in front of him, telling himself and the Power Ponies that the door was about to be destroyed.

"Open wide, girls." Radiance gave them the pacifiers from the program and it took only one taste for the foals to become hooked and also feel a little drowsy, "Sweet dreams, you three."

The foals fell asleep and became enveloped in a powerful flash of light. At the same time, the door was destroyed, sending Humdrum flying across the room, before landing next to Radiance. The block men filed into the room just as the light was fading, revealing the cured Zap, Saddle Rager and Filly Second.

"Impossible! Nopony affected by the nurserizers can be restored!" One of the guards said in a fit of denial.

"We're the Power Ponies, nothing is impossible!" Zap said once she got to her feet and got into a ready position along with the other Power Ponies.

"We'll see about that." her said as the block men took their own limbs and rearranged them to make axes, swords, even a few hammers, "You're outnumbered, and we have weapons!"

"True, but remember the old saying. It's quality versus quantity!" Marevelous said calmly and smugly, "Just like the old days."

The block men and the Power Ponies charged at each other, all mongering their powers and weapons. The clashes were fast and consecutive and the Power Ponies made quick work of the block men. They thought that the guards were beaten, but them their remains reshaped themselves as the fallen block men, all of which charged at the Power Ponies, beginning the struggle again.

_____________________________

"All rise for the arrival of our ruler, Princess Celestia!" A castle guard said as he got out of the way and allowed Celestia to stand on the balcony of Canterlot Castle to speak to her subjects.

"Today marks a great day for ponykind." She began her announcement, "The bill has finally passed, and I am happy to decree, that same-sex ponies can get married AND adopt!"

The ponies below her roared in cheer as she paused to take in a few breaths.

"When the fillies and colts of the future look back on our decisions, they'll remember the justice we dealt today. Allowing male only parents and female only parents to have kids." She smiled a little, "They'll thank us for the decision we made today, won't you, kids?"

"Yes, Cewestia." The Fiendish Foal watched as she pushed a red button on the desk with her hoof, "Too bad dewe won't be any pawents weft!"

"Oh god, no." Masked Matterhorn looked in horror. The speech had come, and the Fiendish Foal was firing the satellites, it was over for them now.

"Yoo see? No hewoes ow hewoines wan in to save yoo wike in dose foawish bedtime stowies." She gloated in victory, "Dis is da weaw wowwd. And I'm afwaid dat gwown-ups and matuwity is ovew!" A timer reading 5:00 appeared on all satellite screens enabling Fiendish Foal to speak before counting down, "...In 5 minutes."

"Come on, girls, I know you can do it." Masked Matterhorn regained a little confidence once the timers started counting down.

_________________________

"These guys just keep getting back up!" Zap said as she saw the block men rebuilt themselves after what seemed like the 15th knockdown they received.

"Fine then, if we can't beat them, we'll just have to lose them!" Radiance spawned a cannon with her bracelets and waited until all of the block men were in her line of fire. She then launched a powerful cannonball at them, catapulting them out the ruined door and back down the corridor from whence they came.

"Girls, I don't have much time, Gifted is cutting my connection between you." C.A.R.O.L.I.N.E. spoke to them through their flanks, "You're almost out of time, Celestia's giving the decree but the satellites will fire in 4 and a half minutes!"

"We'd better move up then!" Humdrum said as he ran towards the lift and called it down, "Come on, Power Ponies. Win the day!"

The ponies filed into the lift and Humdrum pushed the button, taking them up at high speeds towards the viewing center, where they knew that the Fiendish Foal and Masked Matterhorn were waiting at the top.

"We have created an honourable right for all same sex marriages on this day." Celestia continued to speak on the video screen.

4:03:74

"Wight now, ponies awe doing deiw daiwy woutines, big kids awe wawking to schoow, fwiends awe pawying togedew in da fiewds." She gloated as the Masked Matterhorn eventually got sick of waiting ant tried to break the chains herself, "Aww compwetewy unawawe dat dey'we soon gonna be back in diapews, aww because of me."

Masked Matterhorn hung her head in defeat as she knew the chains wouldn't break and that the girls hadn't arrived yet. Suddenly, the lift behind them made a mechanical noise and the cubicle doors were blasted open by the Power Ponies.

"Stop right there, Fiendish Foal!" Zap yelled in triumph as they made their big entrance.

"Powew Ponies?!" Fiendish Foal was taken by surprise, she hadn't accounted for the Power Ponies actually holding their all and surviving her machines and block men.

"Girls!" Masked Matterhorn perked up again as she was freed from the chains and the metal coat around her horn, "I thought you'd been beaten this time."

"Ah, lighten up, Masked Matterhorn." Zap said in a confident tone, "Did you really think we'd go down that easily?"

"Now that we're back together, there's one more issue we have to take care of." She turned to the Fiendish Foal, "Gifted Child, A.K.A. The Fiendish Foal, you are charged with countless acts of kidnapping, satellite theft and unauthorized age-regression. Surrender now, or we will have to drag you to the nearest foal jail, with you kicking and screaming like the foal you really are!"

"Not a chance, wittwe gwown-ups." The computer panels and desk suddenly opened behind her, revealing what looked like an even bigger and even brighter foal room than the one before that, "Aww viwwains have a pwan B. It's been scientificawwy pwoven!"

The foal leapt out the open hatch, ran over to an opening hole and leapt into it, not showing any signs of fear or remorse as she plummeted.

"You try to be reasonable..." Masked Matterhorn sighed as she and the other Power Ponies leapt into this new room with Humdrum still at the computer panels, watching on the sidelines as usual. The computer panels still had a platform so that he didn't have to hang onto the consoles for dear life.

Suddenly, a rumbling was heard and something arose out of the hole, just like the guards before them, this new thing was made out of building blocks. It was the shape of what looked like a godzilla with a massive body, large tail and had a head and neck which almost touched the ceiling of the new arena.

Just when they thought it couldn't get any worse, there was what looked like rings of Nurserizer lasers being attached to the behemoth's ankles and wrists. Its' skull opened at the top, revealing a ring of computer consoles with flashing buttons and other technical stuff. In the middle the ring of buttons and metal, was the Fiendish Foal, letting out a chuckle which escalated to an evil laugh as the beast walked off the lift platform it had rose out of and made a deafening roar at the Power Ponies.

"I've twied to be faiw wid yoo, Powew Ponies. I've twied to offew yoo peace and etewnaw wife, but yoo stiww tuwned me down evewy time!" She pushed a few buttons and the laser rings spun up, elicting humming noises and showing the laser lights building up in the laser barrels, "So now, it's time fow da big finawe! Yoo 6, vewsus de undefeatabwe, wewentwess, and aww powewfuw..." She paused for more effect, "Youthziwwa!!!" The beast roared and slashed a claw at the Power Ponies, signalling that the battle had begun.

The Power Ponies nimbly dodged the massive block claw and were now standing against the wall of the arena.

"Power Ponies, Diplomacy has failed to change her ways." Masked Matterhorn started, "Team, it's time to take the law into our own hands." The ponies readied up their powers, "CHARGE!!!"

3:21:47

The Power Ponies were now spread out around the Youthzilla, dodging claw and tail swipes as they launched their attacks. First up was Zap. Utilizing her weather pendant, she called forth a hurricane and launched it towards the Youthzilla, only for the beast to destroy the hurricane with a quick downward tail whip.

"Wooks wike da winds suddenwy changed." Fiendish Foal said as she pushed a few buttons, causing the Youthzilla to make a massive stomp with one of its' feet, causing a massive shockwave to spread from the stomp, knocking the Power Ponies back a few feet.

"My turn!" Filly Second dashed around the room, leaving nothing but a blur as she zoomed across and up the walls. It was hard for Youthzilla to keep track of it and suddenly, Fiendish Foal was dive bombed by Filly Second, "Gotcha!"

"Urrrgh, cheap shot!" She said as she pulled herself together and pushed a few buttons, "But can yoo keep up wid DIS?" The rings fired their lasers of energy, like a minigun fires bullets. It was almost too fast for the Power Ponies to dodge, but Radiance had thought of this and conjured up a glass dome around them, causing the lasers to bounce off in all directions.

Once the lasers were recharging, the Power Ponies went on the offensive again. This time it was the Masked Matterhorn to strike. She shot a laser of ice at the rings of lasers, freezing them on the spot and rendering them useless.

"No faiw!" Fiendish Foal said as she saw the rings of ice around the rings of lasers, "Weww, I guess you'd cheat, you awe gwown-ups aftew aww." She pushed a few buttons on the top and the Youthzilla's claws grabbed the wrists on the other arms, crushing the ice but making sure the lasers weren't damaged. The claws quickly went to work on the ankles after the wrist lasers had been freed.

Radiance and Mistress Marevelous struck now, in unison surprisingly enough. Utilizing their powers, Radiance barraged the Youthzilla with all kinds of stuff before Marevelous roped its' legs together with her psychic rope.

"Weww, I see dat you'we pretty good at putting up a fight against Youthziwwa." She complimented before pushing a few buttons which brought up what looked like missile launchers out of the Youthzilla's shoulders, "Most combatants have twied to suwvive wong enough to fight his Wethaw Fowm, but aww wewe tuwned into foaws befowe dey had da chance. Wet's see if you'we any diffewent."

2:19:40

As the Power Ponies were now dodging lethal missiles, Humdrum climbed up to the computer and made it to the satellite control panel. He pushed a button that said "CANCEL" but all it brought up was a keyboard and a text box on the main screen saying: "INPUT PASSWORD TO AUTHORIZE CANCELLATION"

"Girls?" He spoke to the Power Ponies who were frantically dodging missile after missile, "I'm trying to shut down the laser satellites but it needs a password."

"Oh no yoo don't!" Fiendish Foal's Youthzilla ran towards Humdrum as he spoke to the ponies, who looked a little cut and burnt after dodging shrapnels of missile and burning explosions. Youthzilla grabbed Humdrum and brought him closer to Fiendish Foal, "You'we unaffected by my machines." She smugly started to offer him something, "Join me, and we wiww wuwe ovew da pewfect wowwd, togedew!!!"

"Humdrum, don't do it!" Zap yelled in a pained voice as she struggled to get back on her feet, "You're supposed to bring justice, not abandon it!"

That was the kick in the spandex he needed, "Sorry, but I'm gonna have to decline!" He scratched the Fiendish Foal's face, causing her to stumble back and accidentally hit a few buttons behind her, throwing Humdrum back onto the computer desk.

"Fine den, If yoo won't join me, at weast I'm keeping yoo awive to watch youw pwecious Powew Ponies suffew!" She fired one last missile at the six ponies, all landing in the middle of them, knocking them in all directions as they were propelled by the flaming explosion of metal and napalm.

Humdrum shed a tear as he watched the Power Ponies cry in pain, before falling unconscious. The only one who didn't black out, was Saddle Rager, and she was looking furious.

"You, you killed my friends." She lightly said before shaking her hooves in rage and letting herself see red, "I'LL KILL YOU!!!"

It only took a second for Flutterhulk to take the field once more. Humdrum watched in excitement as he watched the beast arise and face down against the Youthzilla. They were both the same size, so Fiendish Foal wasn't surprised.

"Weww, dis I didn't expect." She said as she eyed down her new, colossal target of an enraged pegasus, "Wooks wike yoo finawwy made it intewesting!"

1:30:21

Flutterhulk and Youthzilla were now clashing with each other. However, they were both the same size so it was an equal matchup for them both. A claw slashed and missed, followed by a massive hoof slamming its' target dead on, causing the Youthzilla to shake a little. The claws and hooves were swinging one after the other as the other Power Ponies regained consciousness and got to their feet with a lot of effort.

"Let's finish this." Masked Matterhorn said to the rest of her teammates as they secretly powered up their powers again.

Fiendish Foal's attention was locked onto Flutterhulk as the Youthzilla was starting to pick up his game a little and give the colossal pony an uppercut, sending it flying into the lightly coloured wall behind it. The Flutterhulk struggled to get up as the Youthzilla walked in for the final blow.

"Game Ovew, Powew Ponies." She said as the legs of Youthzilla were secretly frozen on the spot, "Don't yoo wemembew? Foaws awways get what dey want!"

Flutterhulk winced a little as the claw came up a final time, but opened her eyes, to her surprise, that the left arm of Youthzilla was now chained down with one of Radiance's chains and that the right arm was held down by Marevelous's psychic rope. It tried to move its' body and fire the rockets, but they had been frozen solid by the Masked Matterhorn's ice beam.

"What?! Impossibwe! You'we not supposed to win!" Fiendish Foal looked worried as Zap wrapped some lightning around Flutterhulk's arms, giving them an electric power upgrade.

"Say goodnight, Fiendish Foal!" Zap said as Flutterhulk did one last double punch, now with added lightning. This final attack completely destroyed the body and legs of Youthzilla, leaving only a dying head and two disembodied arms.

"NOOOOOOO!!!!" The Fiendish Foal screamed as her creation's dying head and arms fell to the floor and were reduced to colourful rubble. She tried to escape her beast's head, but Filly Second had already taken one of the lasers and was pointing it directly at the foals' head, with one more shot left she finished up with an awesome one-liner.

"Congratulations. It's a filly!" She fired the laser at the Fiendish Foal, making her almost invisible as the beam of light consumed the foal. Once the light vanished, the Fiendish Foal was unchanged, but her voice said otherwise.

"Mama? A pa bwa goo gah ma." Were the words that spilled out instead of the usual words that Gifted was used to saying.

"What happened to her?" Radiance asked as she let the foal words sink into her mind, "She's actually acting, and talking like a foal!"

"Well, she did want to be a real foal, so that's what I gave her." Filly Second said as she dropped the empty laser, "I gave her the freedom of being a foal foal, instead of being chained up with a grown-up mind."

"Filly Second, you've done a very kind deed." Masked Matterhorn congratulated her, "You've not only neutralized the Fiendish Foal, but you've also given her the foalhood she deserves. Congratulations."

"You know, I can't help but get the feeling we're forgetting something." Saddle Rager returned to her normal state before speaking to the ponies.

"Uh, girls? There's 30 seconds on the clock, I need a password!" Humdrum called from afar as the clock did indeed read 30 seconds.

"Oh yeah, the countdown. Totally slipped my mind." Filly Second said as all the Power Ponies returned to the console and gazed at the keys.

0:19:59

"I tried a few passwords of my own, but they all failed to breach the lock." Humdrum said as they gazed at the password box that had a red border now saying "ONE ATTEMPT LEFT CHOOSE WISELY." "I also got this clue saying, the beast made of blocks. What does that mean?"

"Youthzilla! Quickly, Humdrum, enter Youthzilla and hit the enter key!" Masked Matterhorn said as the clock now read 10 seconds.

Humdrum was typing in as fast as he could as the clock counted down. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1... The enter key was pressed. and the clock read 0:00:01. They had done it, and just in the nick of time as well.

"Humdrum, you're the best!" Radiance hugged him and kissed him on the cheek, electing some blushing from the little dragon.

"I guess that's another case closed." He said as he leapt off of the console and back down onto the platform.

"Hey, look! The block men are falling apart!" Filly Second saw another screen which showed all of the block men falling to pieces on the spot, only this time they weren't being rebuilt with archaic magic.

"Without the Fiendish Foal to command them, they have no purpose now. So they're giving themselves up by destroying themselves." Masked Matterhorn explained as she observed the screen as well, "You're right, Humdrum, another case is indeed closed, closed by the Power Ponies."

"So, uh. What are we gonna do with her?" Zap pointed towards the foal-minded Fiendish Foal, who was now playing with some blocks whilst sucking on a pacifier.

"I know just where she can go." Masked Matterhorn said as she took the foal up in her aura and removed the cape and mask from her. The foal giggled as she was undressed and before she knew it, they were leaving the base forever.

"In other news, the mysterious kidnapper, now known as Gifted Child was successfully brought to justice today by Maretropolis's own, Power Ponies." The newscaster said the next day, "She has also been stripped of her intelligence and is now acting like a regular newborn foal like all the rest. At the same time, the Youth-Oria project was officially cancelled and the satellites were immediately destroyed soon after. And now here's Clear Skies with the weather."

"Power Ponies, Humdrum. Another excellent performance from you all!" C.A.R.O.L.I.N.E. congratulated them once her screen returned to her face again, "Thanks to your extraordinary courage and quick thinking, Gifted is now the foal she deserves to be."

"It was nothing really." Zap confidently said, "Every day is another win for the Power Ponies!"

"Glad to hear that." C.A.R.O.L.I.N.E. said as she began to continue the debriefing, "All the kidnapped ponies were returned to their normal ages and returned to their friends and families. Gifted Child is now an average foal who's getting the foal life she deserves, and Celestia's decree for same sex ponies to get married and have kids passed today. Congratulations!"

"So what do we do now?" Radiance asked after C.A.R.O.L.I.N.E. had finished talking.

"Now we wait." She spoke, "For we are only the secret weapon of justice, called out when desperately needed. Now we wait, for another crime to be commited. Once they begin their plot, we'll be there, when they unveil their machines, we'll be there, when they're on the verge of winning, we will be there!" She calmed down a little, "Now you've got time to do what you want to do again. Team, dismissed!"

The End

Author's Note

Wow, what a great story.

This is no doubt the longest one chapter fic I've done for a while now. It took me almost a week to complete, I hope you guys liked it.

Sorry If I haven't been working on my other AR fics recently, this took up most of my time. Also I was Let's Playing Kingdom Hearts Re Chain Of Memories on the PS3.

Anyways, see you all soon! Have a nice day!
