(TMNP)Teenage Mutant Ninja Ponies

Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Twilight, and Pinkie Pie stood in front of the canister staring in awe over it. Twilight picked it up. "So that's the-" Applejack began but Twilight finished for her.

"Mutagen that turned us into what we are now."

"Let's drink some of this." Pinkie said to all of them.

Rainbow Dash didn't understand why Pinkie said that. "What?" She got up in front of Pinkie. "Why would we do something as crazy as that?"

Pinkie rolled her eyes. "Because if a mutant gets mutated then you get a SUPER MUTANT!"

Twilight also started to not get her saying this and thought that, that plan was crazy. "Or you might get a pile of goo on the sidewalk."

"Either way it is an improvement." Rainbow Dash added sarcastically.

Applejack wanted to get to the point of this right about now. "Girls don't you see what this means." They all looked at her. "Whoever kidnapped those humans are the same people that have something to do with what happened to us 15 years ago."

"But wait." Twilight said. "How is that even possible?"

"With alien robots anything is possible." Pinkie said hoping to convince them that she was right about those guys.

Twilight however, still wasn't convinced. "Will you stop that already there are no such thing as alien robots."

"Oh yeah." Pinkie walked up to the girl that was in the van. "If there aren't any alien robots then how come I can pull her face off?" Pinkie then tried to pull the girls face off but nothing was happening. "Man this is glued on tight."

"Pinkie stop that's a regular human." Applejack said.

Pinkie looked at her again and thought that Applejack might be right and let her go. "Alright she's good, but the others were aliens in robot bodies."

"ENOUGH!" Rainbow Dash shouted while grabbing the mutagen from Twilight and walked over to the girl. "Start talking. Who are you and what's going on?"

She looked at Rainbow Dash and said, "The names Lightning Dust and I have nothing to say to you hideous freaks."

Rainbow just grabbed Lightning Dust and pulled her up to her face. "Oh really. Well that's because you don't know us." Rainbow threw her to Twilight and Pinkie and they grabbed hold of both her arms. "You see we were just regular girls until-" She unscrewed the canister and opened. "-we got hit by a little of this."

"Whoa now what are you doing?"

"Play a little game I like to call 'Mutation Ru-let'." She said holding the mutagen up to Lightning Dust. "Now you might hot like me or you might look disgusting and deformed. Like Pinkie here."

"Hey!"

Rainbow started to look more threatening. "So." She started to tip the mutagen a little bit making it come out very slowly. "You want to take the chance."

She poured it slowly to Lightning Dust's face making her shiver with fright upon seeing this. After a few more seconds of this she couldn't take anymore of this. "OK!" Rainbow then stopped the pouring. "They called themselves the Kraang. They've been gathering all the scientists they could find."

"Well that worked out." Applejack said to Rainbow Dash.

"Well of course it did." Rainbow assured her. "Would you want to look like Pinkie?"

"I'm right here." Pinkie said looking a bit sad.

Applejack walked up to Lightning Dust. "Why are they gathering scientists?"

"How should I know?" She then looked and Rainbow Dash still holding the mutagen. "All I know is that they are taking them out of Canterlot but I don't know where?"

"This is amazing." Twilight said. "That's boy's mom is a scientist and I'm a scientist. I think he's going to love me." She said with hope in her eyes.

"I don't think your his type." Lightning said to Twilight.

"Well where are they now?" Applejack asked.

Later on the rooftops the ponies were there with Lightning Dust being watched by Pinkie Pie. She did some ninja moves to try and intimidate her. Applejack was holding a telescope and looked at the building that Lightning said the Kraang were at. "There's got to be at least 20 of these guys."

"Yeah." Twilight said. "And those are the ones that we can see."

However, Rainbow Dash was excited about this bit of news and brought out her sai. "Alright an all you can beat buffet." However, she was stopped by Applejack.

"We can't just run in there." She then looked back at the building. "We need a plan."

"Why?"

"Think rainbow head." Twilight said. "There are innocent lives in there and they might be in danger if we crew this up."

"Then we won't screw it up."

"Boy I could sure go for some more of that pizza right about now." Pinkie said while being near them. They all looked at her. "What I can't be the only one that's hungry right?"

Applejack was the first to talk to her. "Where's Lightning Dust?" Hearing her ask that made Pinkie realize what she did. They all looked and saw that she escaped. They sw her running off and Applejack quickly said, "Quick get her."

They all went after her. Traveled down the fire escape, and jumped the rest of the way down. They then quickly lost track of where she went and they split up in two team: Applejack and Rainbow Dash and Twilight and Pinkie. Twilight and Pinkie run to a wall. "Maybe she went over the wall." Twilight then gave Pinkie a boost to try and get her.

Pinkie then crashed into many then while falling down to the other side but couldn't see Lightning Dust anywhere. "I don't think she went this way." Pinkie said while in pain.

Applejack and Rainbow Dash ran into an alley but still couldn't see her that was until the heard a can move. Applejack looked at Rainbow Dash and motioned to her that she might not know that they were there. Thinking quickly she thought that they should act like they can't find her.

"Oh no how could we let her get away?"

"Whoa now you're the leader so you let her get away."

"You're not helping."

"Not trying to help."

Applejack sighed and said, "Fine you want me to lead then I'll do it." She then got back to acting. "Let's just go back to the lair we got get some equipment and drive Lightning Dust's van to the building. They will think it's her and they'll let us all in."

"And then we bust some heads?"

"And then we bust some heads!"

"I love it when things turn out like this." They then left leaving Lightning Dust there to hear everything they said.

Back at the lair Twilight was busy making them some equipment to go and save those humans from the Kraang. Meanwhile Rainbow Dash was in the kitchen talking. "I know you're worried about me and I'm not going to lie to you. We've never gone into a fight like this one in fact it's our first fight ever and I don't know how things will be like while we're fighting. But don't worry I promise I'll make it back. I love you." Turned out that she was talking to her pet 'Tank'.

"Aww!" Rainbow Dash looked behind and saw Pinkie. "Are you talking to you're pet turtle?"

"Tortoise" Rainbow corrected. She then felt embarrassed. "Shut up!"

"That's adorable."

"I'm going to rip that tail off of you." Rainbow said now chasing after Pinkie.

She still kept on chasing her while Applejack was making the plan to stop the Kraang. "I think this plan is going to work."

"No plan ever works out when making contact with the enemy." Celestia said from behind Applejack. "It's how you react to the unexpected which will determine if you and your sisters succeed in the end."

Applejack however, didn't know about this entire thing. "Sensei am I really ready for this?"

"Applejack I made you leader for a reason."

"What is that reason?"

"That is for you to find out on your own."

"But what if I fail in the end."

Celestia looked at her with assuring eyes. "Sometimes failure is something that any leader will have to face Applejack. After all that is what I had to face back in my home in Japan in my final battle with my enemy, Nightmare Moon." She then started to tell a story. "Years ago Luna, which was what Nightmare Moon was called back then, had once been my friend. But the love between a man caused her jealously to turn into anger. She just couldn't take it and tried to destroy me. Even though I survived my entire world crumbled around me. The battle took the life of my beloved Sombra and I lost my baby daughter Lula." She then ended her story.

"But that's what I'm say." Applejack said. "What if I lose everything?"

"I lost many things that day." Celestia said. "My family and my home." She then looked at Applejack. "However, I have gained thins along the way like the four of you."

This did help Applejack a little. "Don't worry Sensei we'll get through this." That was when Pinkie ran off screaming while Rainbow Dash was still chasing her causing Applejack to groan.

Back at the building keeping the humans and the Kraang the boy kept on banging at the door trying to get the Kraang to get them out. "You can't keep us locked in here. We have our rights."

His mother then talked to him. "I don't think that they care about that Flash."

"Well we can't just sit here and do nothing. We have to get out of here."

"How?"

Flash thought about it and came up with something. "Owww...ohhh the pain." This caught the attention of one of them. "It hurts so bad." The Kraang the opened the cell door and was about to be attacked by Flash's mother only for it to see her before she did anything. Flash however, grabbed onto it and tried to throw it down being unsuccessful until it threw him back in the cell and closed the door. "Well I guess we can just sit here then."

Outside the building Lightning Dust and the Kraang were on guard waiting for the ponies to come. "They'll be here any moment now." Lightning Dust said to them.

"Kraang are those that are coming to this place coming to this place?"

"I lack that knowledge Kraang, I will inquire of Kraang about that knowledge. Do you have the knowledge if those who are coming to this are near the place Kraang?"

"THEIR PONIES?!" Lightning Dust shouted at them. "CALL THEM PONIES?! ARE THE PONIES HERE?!"

One of them pointed out to the street. "There are lights of a vehicle which contain those that which you wish us to call the ponies coming to this place which you wish us to call here."

"Wait are you talking about?" Lightning Dust asked until she looked at the vehicle that the Kraang pointed out.

The van that Lightning Dust use to have was speeding down their path and the Kraang started blasting it. No matter how many times it got blasted it still wouldn't slow down until all of them on the ground jumped out of the way. The van then crashed into the building being destroyed in the process. Lightning Dust landed in a bunch of weeds and when she looked back at the explosion some mutagen was thrown on to her, spilling on her. Lightning then felt something weird and painful going on with as the affect of the mutagen made her sprout parts of a weed all over her body as she was screaming in pain.

The Kraang looked in the vehicle and saw that it was deserted. There wasn't anyone in there. "The ones coming to this place are not in the vehicle bringing them to this place."

"Then in what place are the ones called the ponies?"

While they weren't looked the ponies were climbing the wall with some equipment that Twilight made for them. Pinkie looked at the van. "Wow good that van showed up to distract them." This made Twilight face palm herself with her wall climbing gear making her feel pain.

"That was the plan." Applejack told Pinkie. "We knew Lightning Dust was listening to us back in the alley so we made her think that we were in the van."

Pinkie was confused by this. "But we weren't in the van."

Applejack just shrugged that off. "Just keep climbing." With that they climbing until the reached the top.

When they reached a hatch they opened it and saw that two of the Kraang were underneath them so Applejack and Rainbow Dash jumped them. They kept on punching them non stop until they were down and the rest of them entered the base so they could keep going.

While moving about the base Twilight kept staring in awe over the technology. "This is unbelievable. They're using a metal alloy that even I don't know."

"Wow!" Rainbow said sarcastically. "A metal alloy you don't know now that boggles the mind."

"You want to talk technology with me then bring it."

'I don't and-"

"Girls what part of being in an enemy lair do you not understand." Applejack said making them both focus on the mission again.

They turned a corner they saw something unbelievable, except for Pinkie. They saw about seven robots that had a pinkish purple light on them along with an alien brain like this in their chests. Some of them even have a blue casing all over their bodies. And they were all carrying blasters. Looks like Pinkie was right.

Twilight was the first to speak. "Whoa! Alien robots!"

Pinkie looked with a bit of frustration. "Alien robots huh, where have I heard that before. Oh yeah I'VE BEEN SAYING THAT FOR HOURS!" Pinkie's shouting caught the attention of the Kraang as they started blasting them.

They all ran toward them and Applejack and Rainbow kicked one of each. Pinkie leaped off of one of them making it back up and then she started whacking it with her nunchucks and kicked it. Twilight whacked one with her staff twice and used her staff to grab its neck and back flipped it. Rainbow took one to the ground and stabbed it with one of her sai and did the same with another one. Only two left. Applejack jumped off the wall on one of them and slashed it in half. While the last one was blasting her she used her swords to deflect the blasts and one of them hit it in the eye. She then jumped and slashed it in the chest finishing it off.

They all got together as the last one was powering down. After it powered down the alien in it's chest came and shrieked at them. Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Twilight screamed but Pinkie hit it on the head with her nunchucks causing it to be dazed.

Pinkie grabbed it and looked at the others. "See it's alien brain thing. I told you. I told you! But did you listen? NO! Because you all think I'm just a bone head." Just then the alien came back to its senses and bit Pinkie. She screamed in pain and shook it off which while being thrown off hit a button that alerted the other Kraang.

"PINKIE?!" They all shouted in unison.

"Alright that was my mistake. But I was still right about the brain thing you gotta give me that."

Applejack looked and saw that the Kraang were headed their way. "Let's move."

"Where?" Asked Rainbow.

Twilight looked up and noticed something. "I think those are power conduits."

"Oh are they?" Rainbow asked sarcastically. "Thanks for sharing."

"Don't you get it?" Twilight said to Rainbow. "The conduits are converging in that direction so what ever is happening there is important." She said as she left in that direction. Applejack looked at Rainbow with a smug look and pointed at the direction Twilight was going.

Pinkie got right behind her and said, "You just got spanked." She then started laughing and pointed at Rainbow which made her finger get squished by her. "MERCY!" Pinkie screamed alloying Rainbow to let go and they all left.

The four of them ran to the direction Twilight pointed out and while running Twilight found them. "Here they are." She saw both the people the Kraang captured. She looked at the lock and was immediately scared since she didn't know how to pick it and to make matters worse more of the Kraang showed up and started shooting.

"We'll hold them off and you pick the lock." Applejack said to Twilight as she grabbed her swords and swung at two of them.

Twilight looked back at the prisoners. "Don't worry I'll get you both out of here."

Flash was both relieved and confused. "Alright then weird horse thing."

"Actually I'm a pony. I'm Twilight Sparkle."

"Flash Sentry."

"Wow that's a really great na-" Twilight was interrupted by Applejack being bumped into her.

"The lock Twilight!" She said looking at Twilight then back at the enemy.

"Oh right." Twilight said as she got to work on the lock.

She removed the panel and started to mess with the wires. Pinkie jumped in the air while swinging her nunchucks at three of them knocking down more as they fell backward. Flash started to get impatient with this. "Not to rush you but can you please hurry up."

"You think it's easy trying to pick a lock that has a certain technology that none of us are aware of?" Twilight asked him.

"Point taken."

After knocking another to the ground Rainbow Dash looked back at Twilight and saw that she still didn't pick it yet. "just let me handle it." Rainbow said as she pushed Twilight out of the way and used one of her sai to stab the lock repeatedly. While this was happening three Kraang robots entered their dungeon room on the other side. Rainbow then opened the door only to see that they have been taken away again. They all looked back and saw that some were still shooting at them and ran in the direction the Kraang took them.

They reached an exit only to have one of them follow them nearly there. Rainbow then slammed the door on it while it tried to reach for them. Since that was happening Rainbow elbowed and kicked it until it's arm fell and she used the arm to block the door. "That she hold them for now." She looked back at the others and saw that they were looking at her weirdly. "What?"

Applejack was the one to speak. "You are seriously twisted."

"Thanks."

They heard someone yell and looked up to see Flash and his mom nearly boarding a helicopter. They rushed to get them back but was then stopped by two vines with thorns that just showed up. They looked up and saw a giant weed like thing with a heart near it's neck area and had claws that when they open reveal a tentacle like thing inside.

"Uh-oh!" Was all Pinkie could say as the creature in front of them was looking at them.

The weed like creature shrieked and looked back at them and talked. "You did this me." It said threateningly. "Now you're going to pay."

Applejack knew then and there who this was. "It's Lightning Dust." She said shocking all of them. "She mutated into a...giant weed." She then saw that she was trying to move.

"You would think that she would turn into something lightning related." Pinkie said. "Or maybe something dust related."

"Yeah." Rainbow said to Pinkie. "If you were an idiot."

"But her name is Lightning Dust."

"So."

"You don't understand science."

Just then a part of Lightning Dust ripped apart and formed to legs. "I'll crush you ponies."

Twilight thought of something to say. "Would it help if we say that it was an accident?" Lightning Dust responded by threatening them with her new claws. "So I'll take that as a no." She then swung at them and then jumped to avoid the strike.

Applejack jumped up and swung her sword at one of her tentacles spreading a weird purple goo out from it. "Ahh!" Pinkie screamed as she tried to get away from the purple goo. "Don't let it touch me. Don't let it touch me." Just then some of it splattered on her leg. "Ahh it touched it." Just when that happened the tentacle that Applejack cut of regenerated making her better.

They were astounded by what happened but the looked at the helicopter and saw that they were now being boarded along with the Kraang. Applejack looked over at Twilight an said, "Twilight help them." Twilight then ran toward Applejack who was going to give her a leg up. Applejack then launched Twilight up at the rooftop and she landed on it.

While she was up there the others were still fighting. Pinkie cut of a few of her tentacles but then got hit by one them which Applejack then cut. She then cut another one and was hit by a different one. Rainbow ran up from behind and used the wall climbing gear that Twilight made to scrap Lightning's legs. Lightning swung at her but Rainbow grabbed hold of her and pulled her down so she could stomp on her head and jump and do a back flip on her. She then ran but only for Lightning to use tentacle to grab her and throw toward the others.

Pinkie was the first to speak. "Dust Weed is too powerful." The others were confused by what she just called her.

"Dust Weed?" Rainbow asked.

"Well her name was Lightning Dust and now she's a weed so I thought that-"

"We get it."

"Right now we need to hold it off until Twilight comes back." Applejack said. Just then the door that Rainbow blocked was then knocked open more of the Kranng came out. "While at the same time not getting shot at by one those robots."

"With brains." Pinkie added with irritation.

"Let it go already Pinkie." Rainbow said.

Twilight then made to the Helicopter Pad and saw that it was now leaving with them on it. She then grabbed her staff, ran toward the helicopter, and used her staff as a pole vault which launched her in the air and grabbed the helicopter before it got away. This did not go unnoticed by one of the Kraang as Twilight was struggling to hold her grip on the railing.

Back at the fight Rainbow was taking on Lightning Dust, who is now called Dust Weed, while Applejack and Pinkie were dealing with the Kraang. While fighting them Applejack and Pinkie jumped out of the way of two of them while they were shooting making them shoot Dust Weed instead, which made her mad and swing at them all.

"Have you even thought of what we should do AJ?" Rainbow asked.

"I'm working on it." Just then Dust Weed grabbed Applejack. Though while in the air Applejack saw the power conduits that Twilight pointed out and then she thought of what to do. "That's it girl the power conduits."

"I thought we were done talking about that." Rainbow said.

Applejack then looked and the power conduits and saw that they were plugged into a generator. "Dash, Pinkie!" She then did some hand jesters that to her luck they knew so that way she would say it out load. Applejack then swung her sword and the tentacle that grabbed her so she was now free.

Back on the helicopter Twilight was still there holding her grip. Just then one of the robots looked down at her. "Oh good for a second I thought this would be an easy victory." Just then said robot was now blasting at her making her rearrange her grip so she raised up so her hooves could meet with the Kraang droids head with a ninja star she had and then using her hooves grabbed and through it out of the copter.

While falling the robot started firing and the copter making it wobble in flight and Flash flew out and grab the railing that Twilight was on. Just then he accidentally let go and started falling. Twilight then let go and caught Flash while jumping toward the rooftop making them land safely.

"You alight?" Twilight asked Flash.

Flash was alright but then he looked up and saw the helicopter leave with his mother. "Mom!"

Dust Weed started to swing and tried to grab Rainbow and Pinkie with no luck. They looked behind and saw four Kraang and antagonized them making them fire their weapons. They responded by jumping out of the way allowing Dust Weed to get shot at and back up toward the generator which Applejack jumped onto.

Twilight and Flash soon joined them and Twilight saw what they were doing. "What do they think they are doing? They're leading her to the power generator." Then she saw Applejack pull out two ninja stars. "That's so crazy. Or brilliant. Or, or both."

Applejack then threw her ninja stars at Dust Weed's back making her turn around and look at her. "Come on get me 'Stink Weed'." She said as the started to antagonize her. Dust Weed attacked but she jumped on her and out of the way. Now she started to antagonize the Kraang making them shoot. She jumped out of the way and the blasts that came from their weapons shot the generator. The generator was then damaged which shocked Dust Weed and then explode which caught her in the process. Soon bit of Dust Weed were everywhere and the ponies and Flash soon left.

Six of the Kraang still remained as they watched what happened. "Kraang, the ones in this place are not in this place where they were."

"The ones are called 'ponies' Kraang. They are dangerous to what we are doing in this place and other places."

"Yes I have knowledge of that. The ponies must be eliminated from all places." The alien inside it then started to smile evilly.

What was left of Dust Weed laid there on the place where the generator exploded. At first it seemed to be lifeless but it's heart starting pumping again. Dust Weed was still alive.

Over at another building Flash and the ponies were taking a breather on one of the fire escapes. "Are you going to be OK Flash?" Twilight asked.

"I'll be fine." He responded. "My aunt and uncle said I could stay as long as I want to." He then sighed and looked up. "But I'll be a lot better when the freaks that kidnapped my mom are defeated."

"Can't the law enforcement help out?" Applejack asked.

"Funny you should ask. When you say something like mom was taken by aliens in robot bodies they might now actually believe what you say."

"I know how you feel." Pinkie said interpreting what she went through.

"Don't worry Flash." Twilight assured him. "I promise you that we won't stop until we find you're mother."

"We won't?" Rainbow asked Twilight.

Applejack elbowed Rainbow after she asked that. "No we won't."

"Thanks but I should ask you for something that isn't your burden." Flash said looking down.

"You're wrong Flash." Twilight said holding his hand with hers. "It is our burden and we'll help no matter what." Flash then smiled at that and Twilight then saw that she was holding hands with and backed away while blushing. Just then the others were jumping on the next rooftop out of here. Before Twilight left both her and Flash waved goodbye. With all that done she left with the others.

Back in the lair Applejack was with Celestia. "I'm impressed Applejack." Celestia said. "You proved to be more of an effective leader even during dire circumstances."

"Thanks Sensei and now I think I know why you made me the leader."

"Oh really? Why do you think that?"

"Because you saw inside a true warrior that can forge my sisters into the heroes that were destined to become."

Celestia thought of what she said and answered. "No."

Applejack was now confused. "No? Then why did you make the leader if not for that purpose?"

"Because you asked." Applejack was getting more confused by every word that Celestia told her. "Like a true leader you need to know that there are no right or wrong choices."

"So you could have picked any of us to be the leader."

"Yes."

Applejack's eyes shot wide by her next thought. "Even Pinkie!"

"No that would have been wrong." Hearing Celestia say that made Applejack relieved.

"HEY GIRLS GET IN HERE! WE MADE THE NEWS!"

On the news reported by the well known reporter 'Trenderhoof' they saw that they did make the news. "A report of, get this, ninjas, in Canterlot. After a disturbance in the city the police recovered this." He showed a picture of one of their ninja stars. "For your channel 179 news this Trenderhoof saying 'Hai ya!"

Pinkie was more then excited about this. "Don't you see girls. We're going to be famous."

Celestia then came up to them. "All of you must be more careful." She told them all. "A ninjas most powerful weapon is the shadows. So all of you must be careful about being seen next time."

Rainbow shrugged it off. "Relax Sensei ever since this channel was named 'Discovery Family' people have been watching less and less of it. So what's the worst that could happen.

Tokyo, Japan

In one of the buildings one person was watching the news back in Canterlot and when she was the image of the ninja star she immediately recognized it. "So she's in Canterlot training a new army. At last I can finish what I started so long ago." She looked at one of her servants. "Prepare my jet." She then grabbed her special one of a kind helmet that ran across her eyes but didn't cover her nose and mouth. "Time for our family reunion to begin my dear sister."
