Power Ponies: Crisis on Infinite Equestriaby Skylarking the StargazerChaptersPre-Crisis: Issue #69Crisis: Twilight RantsCrisis II: And so Does Everypony Else...Post Crisis: The AftermathPre-Crisis: Issue #69Once upon a time, there was a beautiful land named Equestria. Equestria was dominated by a certain species called ponies. There were three types of ponies: Earth pony, Unicorn, and Pegasus. The earth ponies, the most hardworking out of the three, always making food with their powerful physical abilities, also do the tougher works around Equestria. They are considered the ones whom you thought of as friendly, welcoming and delighted. Next are the unicorns, ponies gifted with a horn which can produce magic: a powerful source that can affect anything physically, mentally and emotionally. Because of this talented skill, unicorns are mostly elegant, styled, wealthy, and most nobly admired out of the three. Like the Unicorns, Pegasi are also gifted ponies, only with wings that is. They have the ability to fly, something many fillies, colts and even non flying species dreamed to do. The joyous and freedom of flying gave Pegasi the stereotype of arrogance, pride, excitement, happiness... While the earth ponies contribute on land, the Pegasi does the same in the sky, controlling the weather to ensure everypony else is enjoying the day. With these three types of ponies working together to thrive in this world balanced out by harmony and chaos... "MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! NOPONY SHALL STOP MY EVIL SCHEMES FROM PROCEEDING! NOT EVEN THE POWER PONIES!" Sigh... There will always be lunatic villains that always wants to take over the world... And in the end, they always fail... Oh and by the way, this villain is called Mane-iac, an earth pony who has these ambitious plots always in Maretropolis, a city that is often under attack by villains like her. Also Maretropolis is a ripoff of Manehattan in reality, which is a counterpart to Manhattan in the human world. "Not so fast! Mane-iac!" A familiar voice that all civilians will be relieved with once they heard it, as a golden lasso darted out of nowhere (well it came from those two large apartment buildings on Damsteram Avenue to be exact). It quickly blinded Mane-iac's henchponies, then the large circle created by the lasso suddenly shrank to trap the main villain. The latter was pulled over by the lasso with a mighty strength of tug into the air, and once landed back onto the dusty ground, she looked up, only to be caught by the one and only mare who wields the amazing lasso that can grab anything: MISTRESS MARE-VELOUS! "NO! Grrr Marevelous!" Mane-iac growled as she struggled to break free. "You won't get away with this!" And childishly attempts to slap our heroine with her green hair like thing that's probably mixed with jello made of dirty and unwanted plastic that wasn't even recycled by the broken street in Harlem. What's even more ridiculous, is that she missed her attack by quite a distance as her hair hit a light pole. Marevelous rolled her eyes with this frown directed to Mane-iac meaning stupidity. She pulled the villainous villain up to her nose with her lasso... Just to note: Her lasso is a complete ripoff from Wonder Woman from the human world too. "What are you talking about? I got this thing off eBake! And it was used from the seller too... Oh darn it..." She let go of Mane-iac, who was finally relieved of not having to touch the dirty ground again, groaned once she got back down. Marevelous put her front hooves up to her mouth, trying to shut herself from saying anymore irrelevant but factual truth about her lasso, because now everypony will simply see her as a scumbag who can't even earn money instead of a hero who constantly saves the day. Marevelous's shame has gotten to the core of her soul, her face became bloody red from embarrassment, until... "Hey you!" She pointed upwards. "Get back to the plot and stop making me feel worse with your stupid narrating!" Ugh, somepony just had to kill the moment... Anyways, she bent down and nose to nose pointed against Mane-iac, who was now angry yet terrified with her sudden ambush. The two opposite poles of North and South have confronted each other at the climax. Does Mane-iac have other plans for future, did she intent for this to happen? Or did Power Ponies save the day once more? Or night in this case. Stay tuned for issue #70 of the Power Ponies! "A-actually, Mane-iac?" Marevelous began, "I-I've always wanted to tell you this..." Mane-iac looked up, only to see the Mistress blushing, her body was all over hers, smoothly rubbing and touching her purple hooves and body... Wait hold on, WHEN IS THIS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN?! "Woah woah woah wait!" Mane-iac retaliated to Marevelous's strange action, "Don't you try and get dirty tricks off your dirty hooves so that you can get rid of me!" "No..." Marevelous continued with each sentence being quiter and more disturbing, oh this is bad, THIS IS BAD! "But you're right about one thing, my hooves are going to get dirty with you... This whole trick will get tangled up in my lasso and the scene will be very complicated... And dirty too..." She repeated "dirty" twice. FREAKIN' TWICE! Then took off her red suit, and tied her lasso with her. No no NO! MISS! You're ruining the franchise for kids! The audience is made up of GOD DAMN KIDS! "Ha! So you are trying to get rid of me!" Mane-iac continued, thank goodness she did not get the idea of what is actually happening. Until Marevelous puts her lips against hers, completely KILLING THE SUSPENSE! MAREVELOUS! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?! "You're right in a sense... But think it as of making your heart... Mine..." She grasped and hugged the villain tight smooching and kissing her rapidly (something she can actually do "quickly"). Mane-iac for some reason, went maniac and did the same thing back... Oh $&*@! The two lovers now rolled all over the streets and sidewalks, banging into poles, chairs, mailboxes, and with each other. They did this all up until sunrise... While it did make sense that this is Issue #69, doesn't mean that they literally have to take it... Literally... Sigh... But hey this Issue was "Mare-Velous"! Crisis: Twilight RantsSpike finished the comic book and confusingly stared blankly, not knowing what the hell did he just read. He slowly turned his head around to ask for some clarifying explanation from Twilight. As a baby dragon, Spike was always innocent, other than burning out half the Special Agency for Secret Service Association (or SASSY in this case) building in Canterlot, or eating up a whole library in Crystal Empire because they were made up of gems. Power Ponies was the perfect tool to keep him busy and entertained with life so that he wouldn't go depressed on not having a childhood and commiting suicide, however, this time the latest issue has became... Well, an issue, because the structure of the plot was completely off from the original heroes-defeating-villains-and-saving-the-freakin'-day stuff, instead, it was... Romantic to be exact, like how he feels when seeing Rarity everytime. While Twilight was always fascinated with science and knowledges and discoveries and experimenting and studying, she often gets them off reading books, and that definitely includes reading classical literature that can make a dumbo like Daffy Duck into an educated looking banker who seems to understand the law, or read and analyze everypony's movement, motivation and feelings. "Twilight!" He called out to the mane table in the castle throne room, which Twilight always happened to be in everyday when she got up, usually eating breakfast or reading OR sleeping on her chair in that room... Life as a princess was never easy since she became one: Files to fill out, forms to sign, matters to discuss about everything that's complicated and annoying. To add salt in the water, Twilight herself almost always puts herself into stress, eventually overwhelming her and exhausting her life out. This time, Twilight was eating pancake mixed with waffle and maple syrup, while the appetizer was hay and... Just hay... "Yes Spike?" The alicorn responded, not ready to expect what's going to come up, she's just going to screw it and take a chance. "Twilight! Twilight!" Spike continued to call her name, only succeeding in making Twilight roll her eyes in frustration. "I really don't understand what's going on here?" "What what's going on?" Twilight replied once more, but still a bit tired from last night's checklist to complete. She finished her meal and levitated the dishes to the sink where Spike will wash afterwards. "It's the new issue of Power Ponies! I don't understand why this is happening?" Spike worriedly answered as he finally reached the throne room. Twilight stared at him, he stared back waiting for an answer, only to meet with laughter. "Oh Spike! That's what you're so up about? It's just a fictional comic book! Anything can happen once it's made up from imagination!" She put a hoof in front of her mouth and giggled like a girl who likes to talk about everyone behind their backs. "Hey! I don't do that!.... Anyways Spike, comic books aren't reality, so there shouldn't be anything bothering you so much." "It's not that, but I can't seem to understand what's going on in this monthly issue. I just need somepony to help me summarize it." Twilight rolled her eyes and sighed quietly so that Spike can't hear her, despite seeing that she is sighing. Sometimes her number one assistant can make things ironical when she, a princess who's supposed to need some assist from other ponies, is now assisting her own assistant with assistance, which then reminded her when she received her assistantship as Celestia's student back in Canterlot. "Fine." She reluctantly accepted with a short groan in the end. She grabbed Issue #69 from Spike's claws with her magic and skimmed it through while saying, "It shouldn't be that bad since it's for little fillies and colts-" She stopped cold, the whole world exploded, civil wars are just about in every corner in Equestria, high ranked ponies brutally punished themselves and made it as violent as possible before killing themselves violently as possible. Twilight wished she would've took back everything she just said three of her sentences ago. She tried to smile awkwardly, but it still became awkward enough to the point that she didn't even want it to be awkward anymore. Her eyes opened wide, her smile was with her teeth closed shown, but crooked looking as possible. She stopped her magic and dropped the issue, she shook as if she was in Yakyakistan or Sigh Berra's snowy mountains... No. Even worse, deep in Tartarus being frozen within a solid block of never melting ice. "What. The. Heck. Did. I. Just. Freakin'. Read?" Twilight shakingly spoke, making Spike backing off in fear of Twilight being angered by a simple comic book. Sweat now is pouring down the purple dragon's body, while the lavender alicorn is sweating for a different reason, because her nose is steaming harder than the engine used to run large factories in the city of Industry itself, despite there shouldn't be any factories there. The mad princess now teleported all over the castle, ran around the throne table three times at least, took a deep breath, and continued running until she didn't feel like it. Spike sighed in relief until he was welcomed by magical fireworks and exploding sparks that can actually hurt somepony, he jumped and ran to take cover. Twilight on the other hand made so much chaos over a comic book that she forgot about her- "SURPRISE!" As a giant cannon entered the main castle door and fired a shot larger than any of Twilight's magical Sparkles, and vanquished them all somehow. The fired shot from the cannon made a much larger firework while Pinkie Pie took the chance to come in and jump on the distracted alicorn, knocking her onto the floor, and hugging her all over. Twilight did not have the time to react to this "surprise" when she shrugged Pinkie off, until she groaned loudly once the rest of the Six all went up on her and made her go back onto the floor again. "Okay, what in Equestria is going on here?" Twilight demanded after forcing herself to get back up (and should I say that she didn't exclude the necessity of using magic on her friends by pushing her friends back to the castle doorway? Oooooooh), as she saw the colorful balloons, party hats, a large structure of cake, smells of sweet apples and apple pies planted acres away from the Friendship Rainbow Kingdom Castle, animals whom were all seen nearby the Everfree forest all the time, they were lined up with well made clothes in a little wardrobe enough to be carried and at last: Her friends, all standing by the door smiling happily for the bemused alicorn, each with a present box behind them that is obviously large enough to be seen. Twilight thought what kind of a surprise is that when she knew that the surprise is right there... Hold on, Twilight noticed something was a bit wrong here: Each and every of her friends had a present, all but- "Rainbow Dash..." Twilight frowned as she looked up at the sky blue pegasus flapping in the air, "Why are you the only pony without anything to bring?" "Umm..." Rainbow scratched the back of her head with her hoof, "That's because I got the most AWESOME SURPRISE FOR YOU OUT OF EVERYPONY ELSE!" She took out a large present box out of her back somehow and dropped it, knowing that her friend will catch it by surprise. Twilight held it in the air, unwrapped it mannerfully and calmly, and opened the red box. Inside, there was this thick book, colored with brown, while the letters written on the cover was amber yellow. She flipped it through like what she did with Issue #69 and firmly closed it shut. "Daring Do's Autobiography! OH MY GOSH RAINBOW! Thank you so much! You know I've always wanted to get my hooves on these!" She pulled Rainbow down with her magic (too lazy to fly like always) and pounced onto her, hugging her and to the point of kissing her cheeks. The rest just looked at one another, waiting for the lame moment to go over. "Umm, Twilight?" Fluttershy spoke up, "I-I actually have the same present for you." She opened her box nicely and gently placed her Daring Do autobiography book down on the floor. Twilight raised an eye, everypony else sighed and followed by Applejack, "Hate to break it to ya, sugarcube. But Ah just had the same exact idea." She took off her western styled hat and took the same book off her head, placing it on Fluttershy's. Wait, then what was the purpose of the present box? "I have to agree with Applejack, darling." Rarity levitated her present box over and opened it, took out the copy and placed it onto Applejack's. The three looked at each other in embarrassment, shocked at the same time that they thought of the same thing. "T-that's okay!" Twilight staggered her voice, and gulped to catch her breath, even more awkward now that there's four exact same presents given to her. She completely forgot the fact that it was her birthday, even when she saw the gifts and party stuffs in her castle. She then whispered, "At least Pinkie Pie seems to have a different idea for-" "SURPRISE TIMES TWO AND INFINITE ABOVE AND BEYOND!" Pinkie screamed. The same cannon fired a book to Twilight's face, right into her mouth when Twilight couldn't breathe for a few seconds. She needed those brief few seconds of air for life. The book knocked her back onto the floor. With another groan, Twilight got up to see what in the world was that all about, and nearby her, was the ideal gift different from everypony else's... "Are you KIDDING ME?!" Twilight shouted upwards, enough to echo and cause the birds to flee. "It's the same darn thing!" "No it's not." Pinkie shook her head. "It's hard cover." "Ahhh, I see now, it is quite different!" Twilight closed her eyes and was ready to walk back to the throne table until she realized something was wrong. "What difference does that even make?! And why would you even bring a hard copy?" "Oh, because hard copies are more expensive by a bit, so I thought that means they are better than the regular ones." Pinkie smiled, only making Twilight sit back in her throne chair and bang her head on the table. The rest of her friends were confused on her frustration, and all followed to sit in their original chairs bearing their cutie marks. "Cheer up Twilight!" Rainbow Dash encouraged, "It's your birthday after all!" The others nodded, even Spike, who was mainly thinking about what he read today about Issue #69. "Yea yea, my birthd-... MY BIRTHDAY?!" Twilight exclaimed, she began teleporting all over the place again, ran around the throne table at least five times, popped out of somewhere near all of her friends on the other five chairs, and finally teleported back to hers. She took a breath, put her hoof at her chest and swayed it outwards as she exhaled, just like how her former foal sitter Princess Cadence taught her to do when things go out of control. "Well, forget the presents! Lets just have a nice time..." She looked at Pinkie, who seems to be making more shapes out of balloons. "... And a Grand Galloping Party!" Her friends cheered, but then Twilight raised a hoof to hush them. "But before all that, Spike has a little problem with today's new Issue of the Power Ponies." Before anypony has a chance to respond with jokes or laugh at the matter, the alicorn levitated Issue #69 up from the crystal made floor and slammed it hard onto the table with her hoof. "Ow! That does hurt!" Twilight then took out her checklist of Experimental Hypothesis of My New Castle. “Testing the hardness of the throne table, check!" Her friends rolled their eyes as she checked it in her box, Spike simply shrugged because he's used seeing this just about everyday. "Girls, do you know what type of audience Power Ponies is aimed at?" Twilight asked sternly after putting her checklist away, she was already a general of the Royal Guards with her tone and her grim expression. What's worse is that more than half of the ponies don't even read Power Ponies and aren't even sure what's going on. The closest was probably Rainbow Dash, who had read Daring Do often, plus she had been a bit interacted with superhero stuffs before, so she pretty much has a general idea. "Well sugarcube, consider the fact that it's superheroes savin' the day all the time, and there's a lot of fightin' goin' on. Ah'd say it's rated M for mature." Applejack said it in such an intelligent voice that nopony even agreed to listen, because it's one of the stupidest things she has ever said. They all stared at the farming mare, who once was Mistress Marevelous herself back in Season 4. Applejack's face went red, like Marevelous, and like Marevelous, her shame has gotten to the core of her soul. "Ugh fine! Ah don't read books anyways! Ah don't got no time for that when there's labor twenty four seven!" While her friends shook their heads and stopped staring at her, Twilight however was on the edge of erupting when a supervolcano has been aroused after a thousand years when Luna turned into Nightmare Moon and was banished. She furiously glared at Applejack, who seemed to be a little timid when she looked into the alicorn's eyes, the orange earth pony's green eyes really described fear. "Um, Twi?" She bravely asked, "Why are you lookin' at me funn-" Twilight hovered Applejack into the air, then harshly pulled the country gal down like the gravity in Jupiter up to her face. Twilight bared her teeth, and hardly nose to nose pressed against her (this looks familiar). "I. Don't. Want. To hear anymore of those. Accursed double negatives. AGAIN! You hear me?" Applejack can only nod in mercy, while Twilight's flames and sparkling hot auras faded, she let out this big phony smile that injected more fear into Applejack as she teleported her back to her throne chair. "Now," She slapped her front hooves together. "It says here on the issue itself, is rated T for teen, and rated F for foals. They never mentioned anything about 'mature' or E for everypony—" Everypony including Spike glared at Applejack for saying something that stupid before, Applejack can only bend her head down in disgrace. Twilight then continued, "—Because it's about friendly looking superheroes who dress funny and constanly save the day with a good ending, or a two part story with an obvious cliffhanger and then the heroes save the day again. There is no violence, no deaths and no blood. In conclusion, this has to be made for foals and younger generations like the CMC's." "Although I did find many fan made comics online that made Power Ponies TOOOOO-TALLY different! There's intercourse, backstabbing, graphical pornography..." Pinkie interrupted before Twilight can move on to her next sentence. "Pinkie, those are fan based fictions, they don't count as part of the official comic that was made from DC and Marevel." Twilight then counted how many issues of Power Ponies were made so far since the first release. Right... Issue #69 is the latest. "It's like how humans from the other world I went into twice, we are actually fictional characters of the franchise "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic", and they even created this crazy website called "FiMFiction" for their fan based people called "bronies", which are made mostly fat and drunk male people, so they can make up whatever they feel like about us." "We are not... real...?" Fluttershy wimpered, and cried on the table, Rarity went to comfort her and rubbed her pink hair and yellow face. "Well, not in their world, because somehow coincidentally they made us up while in reality we are real in another dimension: Here. In their world, we're not even the first ponies. There were three darn generations before us, and the humans even had themselves interacting with those fat and chubby looking ponies in the show. Tirek was actually one of those villains that got killed in the first generation!" "Wait, so we are basically ponies inspired from made up ponies from a previous generation? And they weren't even real?" Rainbow Dash asked in curiosity, for the first time she actually was curious in Twilight's lectures. "I wouldn't be certain of that Rainbow, those previous generation ponies are probably also living in another dimension right now. The thing is, how did the humans even think of us at first place? Is there a possibility that all of us no matter how far or impossible to communicate, are connected together? This is soooo exciting! I want to research about this right now!" Twilight got off her chair and danced around the table, leaping and hopping. She can't dance... "There are soooo many fan fiction stories about us!" Pinkie told the group, "Such as how Applejack constanly got a broken life because her parents died-" "Wait wha'? They ain't dead! Ma and Pa moved far away to North Cornya when Ah was a filly (yes it is a corny country). They just don' feel like writin' to me much because they are darn lazy!" "Or Rainbow Dash losing her reputation and all those sad things, always making her look helpless and feminine. She's always the pony to die when there's something about losing a friend!" Pinkie continued "Why would they make me so weak and overrated?" Rainbow complained, "Perhaps I'm just too awesome!" She then flew up and made a small stunt, which nopony even bothered to look at. "Or Twilight having these funny moments when truth don't agree with her science! Then she goes cookoo crazy!" "Ugh Pinkie! That actually happens all the time!" Twilight broke, "I'm not perfect or whatsoever." "OOOOH! I love Fluttershy shipping stories! Always about her being romantic with other characters! I never knew Fluttershy can be suuuuuch a slutty pony/human deep down!" "Wait... N-no... Please! That isn't me!" Fluttershy began to cry again, upset with all those fake stories made up about her being romantic, despite she loves romantic stories, she's never experienced it herself. "Fluttershy, darling!" Rarity tried to calm the yellow pegasus down. "You know those are undeniably made up, awful stories! I wish I can be in romantic stories and win that stallion's heart!" She ambitiously smiled and asked Pinkie, "Pinkie Pie, do you know any stories about me?" "Gee, sorry Rarity! I guess you're the least popular out of us six! Barely anybrony wrote anything about you other than a few funny romantic ones where you screw yourself up all the time! Or at least you being annoying (as usual) in general." "HMPH! They are just jealous because they don't understand my style, my elegance, my nobility, my grace, my charm, my beauty, and my generousity!" "Nopony actually understands..." Applejack commented, only to be levitated up by Rarity and pulled her down against Rarity's nose, then threw her back to her throne chair with a THUD. "Hold on, how did you even know all this?" Twilight asked Pinkie Pie, who simply shrugged and replied, "Just my hypothetical guess." She winked an eye to the lavender alicorn, who just shrugged back. "A-a-anyways," Twilight inhaled and exhaled slowly, trying to forget what those bronies's messed up minds were thinking. "Back in Season Four episode Six (ha get it?), when we were sucked into the actual Power Ponies comic book. The tornado Rainbow Dash as Zapp created could've killed many ponies, and even injure us severly-" "Hey! I wasn't that evil!" "Rainbow I never said you were, I was just describing what could've happened to us, but instead the comic made everything seem less violent, because the tornado was only on the streets instead of going in random directions. Nothing bad happened to us, no blood, no scratches, nothing! Or when Fluttershy, Saddle Rager in this case, could've killed Mane-iac or at least her henchponies, but she only took the anger on the doomsday device." *Sniff sniff* Fluttershy sobbed and cried once again on the table, tears overflowing everywhere. "Yes yes I know, you did it for the little firefly..." Twilight rolled her eyes exaggeratedly. "So even through reading the comic and observing the author's choices. Those evidences, prove that Power Ponies is for kids." Her friends nodded in agreement, even Fluttershy, who was not looking up and crying still. "But what is THIS?!" Twilight's voice shot up as she flipped to the page where she froze earlier, which is obviously after Issue #69 should've been done already. She levitated the comic book and pointlessly slammed it down again (with her magic of course), and then everypony gasped dramatically. "Oooh! I love stories like this!" Rarity giggled, and leaned closer to the comic book. Twilight frowned in disgust and moved the comic slightly away from her. "What. Exactly. Is. WRONG WITH DC AND MAREVEL?! Their collabrations are getting dirtier and dirtier! What's even more stupid is that why would they even wait until the 69th issue to show this? To add on, it has nothing to do with the 69 joke!" Twilight exclaimed, "Do they not know this is not appropriate to their level, not even teens are supposed to read things like this..." She sighed, "... Even they still try to do so..." "Gee Twi, Ah never thought superheroes would do somethin' tis super before. Ah have intentions of makin' out with some stallions in the Wild West." "Yes, exactly! I mean-" "Wait WHAT?!" Rainbow Dash interrupted, still in midair, "You are dating a stallion?!" "Well, Ah wouldn't exactly call it datin', but more of something like what's goin' on in Issue #69 right now... Get it?" Applejack smiled, only to be thrown into a wall by Twilight. "ANYWAYS..." Twilight growled after being interrupted rudely, "I think we should sue the compan- WAIT YOU'RE DATING A STALLION?!" "Oh my Celestia..." Rainbow Dash stumbled and dropped back onto the floor. Everypony else including Spike shook their heads. "Anyways..." Twilight refocused back on track. "I think we should sue the company for leaving such bad image on our next generations." "And why do you think that even matters?" Rarity asked, checking the lust on her hooves left by the crystal floor. "Because the next generations will show no discipline! And if that happens, they would not run Equestria as well as before! And if that happens, Equestria will be devastated! Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, and Cadance, and I..." She sobbed because there's something she just didn't want to over think on, but nevertheless resumed her tone. "... can't afford to carry the rest of Equestria on our hunches!" "Twilight calm down!" Rainbow Dash said as she got back up to her hooves, "Since you said teenage ponies like to seek out for this kind of immature garbage, maybe Marevel and DC knew it all along and decided to make these scenes in order to center it just for them." "But it is still wrong to do so!" Twilight did not calm down, and was even louder than before. "And what about the young filles and colts?!" "Ya know sugarcube," Applejack recovered from her head collision against the crystal wall and walked back to the throne table, sat on her chair. "Just because you think is wrong, doesn't mean that it is wrong." "Applejack..." Twilight turned her anger onto the orange mare. "You are really ticking me today... Do you not understand what "wrong" means?!" Everypony (especially Fluttershy) is getting a bit scared of the heated argument and Twilight's rant, they backed off from the table and sat back in their chairs... Well everypony but Pinkie, who seems to be bouncing around like she doesn't care at all. Applejack held her ground like last time when she was threatened to sell off her land against Flim & Flam's cousins: Pick and Dig (with the "g" sound pronouced as "k") "Listen Twi', just because science and facts are relevant and all, doesn't mean that ponies don't have a personal view on what is "wrong". That's not what Ah'm concerned 'bout, tis' just that: You are overreacting about this, you don't even read the series yourself, so why bother so much?" "Didn't you hear what I just said?! If this goes on, the next generation will be turned into mash potatoes of disharmony!" "Oooh! Oooh! I looooooove mash potatoes! Their yellow cream color like Fluttershy! It was DE-licious! Just like Grape Soda Hay Cake!" Pinkie went on and on and on with her stupid looking cake (oh you should've seen it, it was a bottle shaped cake with grape juice poured over it). "Grape Soda Hay Cake...?" Twilight turned around, completely caught off guard with her heated argument with Applejack. "Yeah Twilight! We got the grape juice's color from your skin, it's lavender!" Twilight flashed back to memory mode, where she saw when she was at the Spa, and when those Spa ponies massaged her, they held a small device which absorbs the color of a pony's skin... “Wait... YOU PLANNED THAT?!" Twilight exclaimed to Pinkie. "Well yeah!" Pinkie repeated, "How else?" And continued to bounce around the table. "Ugh geez!" Twilight exhaled from her nose, and turned back to Applejack. "Well Applejack, do you get what I'm trying to do here? SAVING EQUESTRIA FROM DISASTER!" "Do you get wha' AH'M trying to do here?" Applejack mimicked Twilight's expression and speech, "SAVING YOU FROM CORRUPTION! Like last ga' darn time when you were driven mad by that silly little friendship letter when ya didn' even have a deadline!" "Okay, that was crazy, but it has nothing to do with what's going on here!" Twilight fumed, "#69 is an ISSUE!" "I thought it is an issue..." Fluttershy whispered, but still heard by the angry buffalo mode Twilight, who turned around and glared at her. The pink haired pegasus hid behind Rarity, who is also a bit frightened by Twilight's anger still. ~To be continued on the next chapter Crisis II: And so Does Everypony Else...Applejack and Twilight continued their bickering, while Rarity, Fluttershy and especially Rainbow Dash were bored as hell, therefore Rainbow decided to start things to kill time, "Hey Rarity, remember when we were sucked into that Power Ponies comic book itself? And it took all of us to defeat Mane-iac and her henchponies?" "I've had so many important things going on everyday that I don't even have the valuable and personal time for myself to remember." Rarity answered sarcastically. "Oh, I understand you perfectly Rarity!" Fluttershy agreed, her voice raised from usual. "I always have to deal with ponies everywhere, while I should be taking care of those poor little Angel and bunnies and squirrels at home, and Harry the bear, and the birds, and the fishes in the little stream..." She stopped when she noticed that both the unicorn and the pegasus were staring at her, frowning that she didn't realize what Rarity said was sarcasm. "Oh, okay, I'm sorry..." Her voice died down and backed off like a doormat. "You do realize that you alone should be enough to take care of them all right?" Rainbow Dash flew up and looked down at the white unicorn, who tried to remember which Power Pony did she go in. It was no other than Radiance, who has the power to wish for anything and everything with her jewels on her suit. "Oh...“ She finally said, "Well, I'm not interested with these hideous hero costumes that can ruin my splendid reputation in fashion designing!" She wavered her purple and silky mane back. "Buuuut, since you're so stupid and clumsy, you wished for some teacups and plates which were shattered seconds later in my tornado. You know, you could've wished for something that can forever capture the Mane-iac, or a black hole, or something that kills her, or-" "Wha-What did you just SAY?!" Rarity's mane is now all shook and messed up like zapped by some electric charged... Umm ball lets just say? She used her horn and levitated the rainbow maned mare down from her flight, back into her seat, and bared her teeth like a Tartarus beast. Rainbow Dash was beginning to feel guilty of making her friend get upset, because she was selfish this time and put boredom over friendship. In the end however, she didn't give a damn because she knew they will eventually become friends again after this stupid skirmish. "Didn't you hear me? I said you are stupid and clumsy," Rainbow repeated, then added something that drove Rarity off the charts, "AND petty." Rarity now lost it completely, she didn't even think of going over why Rainbow Dash insulted her at first place, her veins, muscles, bones and even some random organs began to show out behind her white skin. Her eyes changed color, her white teeth flashed, her horn glowed then died, then blinked rapidly. She spread her hooves wide, ready to ask for a fight. "It! Is! ON!" Rarity grabbed Rainbow off her throne seat and pinned her onto the ground, cracks were shown in the crystal floor. Rainbow winced, and tried to use her wings and hooves to fly off, but Rarity somehow was far stronger than she ever was in her lifetime. She spat onto Rarity's face, making her cry in disgust as she let go of the naughty pegasus. "Rainbow Dash, if it wasn't for your nonsensical Zapp abilities. None of us would've had a hard time dealing with that monstrous villain!" Rarity hissed while using her magic to lift the saliva off her face completely. Reminding Rainbow of that time when she created a tornado instead of a lightning bolt and sucked most of her friends into it. "Oh please, I maybe awesome, but your lame power is far more overpowered than any of us." Rainbow shrugged and flew around the throne room slackingly, before Rarity pulled her hard onto the floor again, making larger cracks. Rainbow winced louder, as her wings were damaged by the force of Rarity's magic slamming her onto the floor. "HEY! Whaddya do that for?!" Rainbow yelled out to her, "Now I can't fly for freakin' WEEKS!" But Rarity didn't give either, and responded, "Hmph! That's what you get for making a lady unpleased! Now I have to straighten out those two pieces of hair on my mane..." She then wailed, and cried on the floor, "THIS IS THE. WORST. POSSIBLE. THING!" "Heh, you're right that is, but hey, at least you can straighten them out in five minutes or so while I can't do ANYTHING about my wings and have to sit around and do NOTHING until it's completely healed!" Rainbow Dash lashed out, finally getting upset herself because Rarity knew her friend well just as Rainbow with herself. Now Rainbow is "pega-less". "And instead of charging towards Mane-iac like the rest of us, you should've stayed back and captured them all already with your petty jewels!" "And instead of making blunt decisions like selling out our fortunate locations, and also charging towards Mane-iac, you should've used your artless lightning necklace to summon an actual thunderbolt!" The two argued not far from the throne table, while Twilight and Applejack were just as insane. Twilight now is firing random shots, but not so uncontrolled and towards her friend. "Applejack, what if Apple Bloom was influenced by something ridiculous like this? How would you feel, huh?!" Twilight asked. "Ah'm not stupid enough to let her darn read this then, and you're no right in the position to hurt yourself by gettin' yourself in 'tis mess!" Applejack replied angrily, not caring whether she said made sense or not, as long as she got her message out. "Oh dear, this is bad." Fluttershy crawled next to Spike, who also seemed to be scared of what's going on with their friends. "*Sigh, and it's all my fault. I shouldn't have brought this topic up and make Twilight go out of control." Spike sat on the floor and put his claws up his face. "I should've known Twilight better as her number one assistant, yet I did something I regretted asking for..." Fluttershy was about to comfort the poor little dragon, but then quickly adjusted her sight on Pinkie, who joined in the argument of both sides, hopping furiously and throwing balloons. 'Strange, I thought Pinkie shouldn't be arguing, she always cheers anypony up...' "I LIKE COOKIES! CHOCOLATE CHIP COTTON CANDY MIXED WITH HONEY WAFFLES ARE BETTER! PLASTIC TRUMPETS BEAT BON BON'S SWEET CHEW THING ANYDAY!" She furiously babbled at all her friends who were arguing. 'Or, that.' Fluttershy frowned at the pink pony and sighed. Meanwhile, Lyra was helping her bestie Sweetie Drops with her new soft candy product in a random slum looking bakery: The Sweety Chews. The quote/motto (yes it was Lyra's crazy idea) was, "You touch it! You buy it! And if you chew it! You will never live without it!". Sweetie Drops rolled her eyes everytime when she saw it, but she couldn't help but smile once it reminded her that it was her best friend who made this up. The two already had few guests trying it out, and all of them favored it, which then enlightened Sweetie Drops, who quickly began making Lyra to help her make more and start an official business. "Oh these stuffs are soo tasty! I would doubt it if anypony would actually dislike this!" Lyra confidentally said as she turned to Sweetie Drops in request for agreement, "Um, Bon Bon? You with me?" The turquoise cyan unicorn, now turned into more turquoise and cyan out of fear, once she saw Sweetie Drops's mane turn all red, and a fire surrounding her completely, burning her up. Her eyes instead of cool blue are now like the rest of her body: Lava red. The candies she was making all melted. "I heard it... That damn familiar voice..." The formerly beige coated earth pony grabbed a large kitchen knife and slammed it onto the table hard. "WHO DARES TO COMPARE PLASTIC JUNK TRUMPETS WITH MY CANDY?!" She steamed through her nose, like the buffalos in Appleloosa and the current Twilight. "B-B-Bon Bon?" Lyra's voice shrank and was unstable no longer, her hooves were trembling, her eyes are gleaming with fear, her tail was somehow spinning madly and creating a large fan that opened the bakery door, and blew ponies away whoever trespassed the range behind her, including Derpy Hooves who seems to be enjoying her time eating her muffin even when blown away. "LYRICAL HAMSTER!" Her best friend turned around and shouted at Lyra, who was shot at and can only trembling reply, "A-actually, my real name is Lyre Lyrics Heart of Hamstrings, but it was shortened to Lyra Heart-" "SHUT UP! TIME TO TASTE MY FAVORITE FLAVOR! THE SECRET RECIPE: THE BON BOMBS!" The mare threw a bunch of candies out of nowhere and towards the helpless unicorn who ducked in mercy, and from the air too. While it was evident that the Lyrical pony was done for... Well okay, she saved herself by holding all of the candies with her magic. Lyra finally gave herself some breathing space and a good time to "chew" Sweetie Drops back to her sweet self. When she lifted her head back up, she realized something, "Wait a second, Bon Bon, did you call these candies Bon "Bombs"?" The earth pony hesitated around for awhile and tried to remember, "Why yes I have, because they are HOT when they explode!" She smiled proudly, because it was her personal made product, and her favorite of course. "Oh wait... I think I know where you're getting to..." Bon Bon's face soon became scared and stood there and looking daft. "Yeah too late, ugh geez, I should've thrown these guys out the window. What a pity." Lyra closed her eyes and shrugged, still holding the candy bombs. “Well while we're talking, THROW THEM OUT!" Bon Bon became worried as hell and pushed her bestie to save their plots. "Oh, right. Okay wait, this won't be long" Lyra held the Bon Bombs and was ready to toss them out before they can do any serious- KABOOM!! ... damage... "There's no need to worry Spike!" Fluttershy picked the purple drake up and hugged him, "It was just a misunderstanding. I'm sure they will be friends again soon!" "Soon? As in, how soon? Months?! YEARS?!" Spike panicked with his claws stretched aside. "Oh it won't be that long! Soon always mean soon!" Fluttershy smiled, then turned her focus onto the rest of her friends arguing heatedly, while Rainbow Dash and Rarity were clashing even furiously than Twilight and Applejack, and of course there's Pinkie Pie arguing about random stuffs, she also grew worried. "Well, m-maybe not that soon." Rainbow Dash tried to run away from Rarity and then find a way to stop her rampaging, but Rarity located her easily with her magic. She levitated her up, choking the life out of her. Rainbow knew that psychokinesis magic was stronger than anypony no matter how strong and well built, but she still tried to break free. While doing that, she sought to insult the unicorn, "Rarity, I never knew you were a cheating daughterofahobo! Why don't you fight me hoof to hoof combat instead? You scared?" Instead of even slightly becoming convinced, it turned out to be far the opposite. Rarity held Rainbow tighter than before and responded, "Well, after your displeasing comment about my parents. I will not! An enemy never plays by the rules anyways." She shrugged and gave the pegasus this cold glare that can be seen as hostile. "Oh no! Rarity just said she's not her friend anymore!" Fluttershy cried with her hooves on her face, Spike rolled his eyes because he knew that Fluttershy isn't the right pony to break this conflict off, they need the one and only: SPIKE THE HERO! "Rarity!" Spike ran over to the unicorn and wrapped his claws around her hoof, "You gotta snap out of it! That's too far!" "And what does that do? Let Rainbow run away with her crimes of insulting a lady?!" Rarity retorted angrily. "But she's one of your best friend! Why are you taking it so far just to hurt her in return?! Friends don't do that to each other!" Spike began to cry, but not as hard as Fluttershy, it was more of a... Masculine cry? "If you don't come back, Rarity. I don't know where my heart will belong to anymore... Without the beautiful and generous you, I would rather die..." He then whispered to himself, "... than to serve Twilight as her assistant, because it's too much darn work!" Then resumed back to sadness. Rarity stopped and let go of Rainbow, who was too tired to get back up anyways. Her purple mane touched Spike's purple skin, it overlapped him. She put her left hoof onto Spike, rubbing his head. She then touched his face with her lips and her own face, Spike's heart was ready to explode. Spike was about to kiss Rarity in return, and the unicorn agreed to do so. They were so close now that Rainbow was about to vomit once she got up and only seeing this bull being performed... She threw Spike and Rainbow Dash out the castle door. The two victims groaned and sighed, not expecting something like this to happen. The fury diamond of the drake has officially been burned by the maniac fashion poser. It was all designed to be a trap. Fortunately, before Rarity can cause any more harm to the two, two earth pony Royal Guards passed by the Friendship Rainbow Castle, complimenting on how well made the structure is, and completely making the rest of Ponyville look like a dull rock farm for slaves. Rarity suddenly changed from Radiant Rager (yes the combination of Saddle Rager and Radiance) to the generous and beautiful pony that nopony actually bothered to dislike, other than Spike who's eyeballs became heart once he saw the original styled Rarity return. The Guards however were a bit concerned once they saw an injured Rainbow Dash and a helpless Spike on the soil ground near the castle door. Furthermore, they overheard the noise being produced inside the castle itself, much familiar voices... "Ms. Rarity, is everything alright inside... And outside here." One of the two Guards named Adrenaline Spear asked, his deep voice almost broke Rarity's heart because it sounded so damn lusty to her. She almost fell over but regained consciousness and resumed to answer with the best manner, "Yes your royal-ness, everything is fine, just a little... Well. Erm, something about Power Ponies we are discussing about, because it really is an, well, issue these days." "Power Ponies... Ah, I see." The other Guard named Snowy Springs, responded. He then grew excited and started dancing with his front hooves, "The next issue is going to come out soon! I can't waaaa-iiiittttt for it!! By the way, Issue #15 was my favorite." Everypony including the dragon sighed, even mature stallions who were supposed to work all day defending their country and subjects have time to read something that's way out of their character. Rainbow and Rarity looked at each other, for they realized Twilight was right about those "bronies" that don't look like their fans at all, but they are anyways, which is disgusting. "This dude..." Adrenaline pointed his light brown hoof towards Snowy Springs, who was still dancing. He spun his head in a circle, his mane flew swiftly and gracefully, which snatched Rarity in awe. She must've really admired this stallion until, "Issue #47 was way better! Featherbrain!" Rarity fell over onto Rainbow Dash and Spike. While Rainbow winced and tried to get the unicorn off, Spike rubbed his head onto Rarity's skin, it felt beautiful and refreshing, like silk with orange flavored perfume. Rarity then got back up, and unpleasingly asked Adrenaline Spear, "Really?! You read those immature, rubbish?! Too?" "Why yes your loveliness. It is an amazing fine piece classical literature if you ask me." The Guard smiled and bowed, only to be kicked in the face by both Rarity and Snowy Springs from both directions. "Hey! What did you do that for?!" He demanded from his comrade, but before he can even respond, he punched Snowy in return. "That's it! Issue #15 was far better than the trash you read! It didn't even feature any of the heroes in the spotlight!" Snowy Springs argued, jumped onto Adrenaline Spear and rolled down the road towards Sugarcube Corner. Rainbow, Rarity and Spike all took a huge gulp and slowly backed into the castle, with Rainbow Dash trying to run away from Rarity though, only to be caught by her magic. "Don't you think this is all over between the two of us, Rainbow Dash!" She grabbed her rainbow mane and plucked some hair of each color out from it. "Now I can plan my brand new fashion clothing design: The Rainbow Streak Gazzling Spazza! "Gazzling, Spazza? Those aren't even words are they? And YOU'RE USING ME FOR YOUR FASHION DESIGN?!" Rainbow raised her voice not in anger, but rather in fear because Rarity is always one of those who can outbeat her in... Well a situation like this. "Yes, indeed! Now shut up before I use your cutie mark as an art design for t shirts and pants!" Rarity threatened, and stepped her hoof onto the poor athletic pegasus, before dragging her across the hard ground with her magic. "OW! STOP! SPIKE! SOMEPONY! HELP MEEEEEEE!!!" The colorful pegasus feebly screamed before being dragged to Rarity's Botique, unready for the worst torture upcoming yet. Spike flinched in fear and decided to check on Twilight and others, while leaving Rainbow screaming to the top of her lungs when Rarity forced her to wear her least favorite dress. Meanwhile the two Guards were rolling around, hoof fighting in Sugarcube Corner. Snowy at first seemed to have gained the upper hoof as he purposely let Adrenaline go on top of him and threw him upwards. While in midair, Snowy thought Adrenaline was defend free of his rapid hoof punches, but he was proved wrong once the brown earth pony took out Snowy's favorite Issue #15 in front of him for self defence and threatened to tear it apart so that Snowy can... Well never read it again and will have to find a new copy to replace it, too much work for him already. Snowy however smirked and took out Issue #47 to counter-threat against Adrenaline's hostility, by doing the same thing that Adrenaline did so that he can take advantage of him in midair. Adrenaline instead of obeying to the silver white stallion, took his famous "Sparta Spear Thrust" downwards, hitting Snowy Springs onto the head and pinned him onto the ground, leaving a decently large pit that dragged some other innocent ponies down too. "#47 was better you idiot!" Adrenaline shot back, "#15 didn't even have a cover to begin with! Besides, their character development was horrible! The villain Anti Alicorn was about to be reformed and then she got killed off in ONE PAGE!" "Shut the hay up, foul mouth!" The two continued to fight and bite each other's Royal suit off. "BOTH OF YOU SHUT UP! BECAUSE ISSUE #50 WAS BETTER!" Twinkleshine came out of nowhere (from Canterlot for a visit on her friend Lyra actually) and held the two crazy Guards up in the air and tossed them all the way back to Canterlot somehow. Doctor Whooves stepped in and shouted, "What are you talking about?! Based on my love for science, Issue #45 is the best with the all new super duper projected gamma laser cannon fired against Saddle Rager and she still defeated it! She-" Then Derpy Hooves crashed into the time traveling stallion into the pit and disagreed, "The first is always the best! Issue #1 had muffins!" Sooner than anypony actually thought, the whole town began an uproar over which Issue was better. Roseluck and the Spa Ponies went onto the train boarding for Canterlot spread the argument onto the train, which then infected even the upper class unicorns, who unexpectingly also read the series quite intriguingly. Fancy Pants soon waged a war on those who disagreed with him that Masked Matter-Horn was actually a sex toy being hired by the Crystal Mafia for no obvious reason other than being insane. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna looked down hopelessly from their castle to their subjects, and let out a large sigh before they returned to their bed and began their own discussion on solving this matter, "Sis, this is becoming very outrageous! Is there any sort of magic spell that can just put an end to all of this?" Luna worriedly spoke, her voice louder than usual. "I may not be certain on that, Luna, but this will have to take awhile to fix." The white alicorn sighed and got off the bed, and walked around. "After all, it's just a silly little comic book that everypony is so worked up about." She then noticed out the window that a huge boulder was launched and somehow with fire magic, it turned into a meteror and exploded into flames. "Or maybe not..." "Furthermore, Sis. You felt the tremors of chaos being active in Twilight's Castle, those two Guards you sent to investigate. Where are they now? They should be returning soon." Luna grew worried as ever, for she was never used to the craziness in daylight happening all the time while at night she was enjoying a fine break with her subjects. "Oh Luna! There is nothing to be scared of, Guards are ponies too, they need some personal times or breaks to fulfill their duty." "And, and, and!" Luna gasped for air, panicking for life while Celestia only chuckled at her reaction, "What if they are in danger? You need to locate them!" Celestia can only laugh again at this situation of Luna hugging her hoof and rubbing her face against it, Celestia's stressed everyday, but still managed to handle the stress far better than any ruler in Equestria. "Oh Luna!" She repeated, "I am sure it will not be that bad! Just give them a little time and it will come to you." Once she finished that, two unidentified naked objects came crashing through the glass window: One from the window of Celestia, the other from the window of Luna. To the Princesses, it was VERY controversial and ironic, because due to the condition of the two Royal Guards (and the fact that they're lying as if they're down and exhausted), looking as if their clothes were torn by Everfree beasts or from a enormous fight, but the sisters looked at each other in awkwardness, for Snowy Springs continued his debate against his comrade, "I-issue #15..." He coughed blood and winced at his scars, "... Beats your crappy comic anyday..." "N-no you fat cheeto puffed fool..." Adrenaline Spear responded, equally as painful as Snowy, "Issue #47 rocks hooves down..." "What happened to you two?" Celestia walked towards the idiotic Guards who were caught off by a children's franchise, "Why are you two so scarre-" Before she can finish her question, Luna already teleported in front of their faces, illunimating herself into Nightmare Moon's face, striking blue fear into even the two strong stallions deep down in their treasury hearts. She levitated them up in the air and glared into their poor, tortured eyes and whispered furiously enough to make the Royal Guards need guards to guard them, "We better not hear thy childish behaviors ever again! Thy duty is to make sure everything is going along planned!" More like everything is making Celestia feel humiliated because this situation is forcing others to see her as a dictator rather than a democratic Princess. The Guards nodded in absolute obligation, tears are trickling down their faces. "If it wasn't for Celestia who doth this, we would've sent thou to the UNDERWORLD by throwing thou out! Thou HEAR US?!" She hadn't used the Royal Canterlot voice since 84 episodes ago. The Guards were pretty damn scared at least. They nodded again in fear, and behaved like loyal dogs who were kicked everday simply because they were furry. "Good, we shall not punish thou." Luna resumed her normal voice and turned her head back to the white Princess, "Anways Sister," Her mind was not enough to manage two tasks at once, so she threw her magic away and let her mouth do the work. Celestia noticed that Adrenaline and Snowy were no longer there, and were thrown out by Luna anyways into the air outside their castle, only to be hit by another meteror. She shook her head and let out a quiet sigh, her little sister can be so innocent sometimes. "Yes Luna? This problem has been very sticky ever since chaos erupted from that train from Ponyville, I'm afraid that this might take awhile." "Umm, no? Cadance can use her Amor power thing to stop the ruckus, you know, that heart like thing when she casts it out, and then it makes multiples of her targets love each other again." "Oh... Right..." Celestia facehoofed herself hard, so she summoned a case of lotion cream and wiped her face all over. "Why didn't I think of that...?" "Well I'm going to send her a message okay?" Luna then closed her eyes, let her horn glow the blue blazing sparks. The horn glazed and shivered the atmosphere, even making Celestia a little blue and sweating cold. The horn emitted a small spherical signal and disappeared without a trace once everything became white, nothing to be seen for few seconds and the light faded, finally returning everything to normal. Luna stood there and felt peaceful as if she just took a bath and put Dove that tingered her all over like Mane-iac when she was struck by her own doomsday device. It was a beautiful accomplishment, and the first one ever done by the Princess of the Moon in daylight. "Luna, you know you could have just pressed that emergency button over there and it will send out an alarm to all of Equestria." Celestia pointed her hoof towards that giant red button on the wall between the window of Starswirl the Bearded and the window of Tom and Jerry. On it it says: "Emergency button, used when there's an emergency." "Wait, when was that even made?" Luna asked surpisingly. "Well, actually. While you were gone, I actually planned of making this emergency button to alert all of Equestria so that whenever there's a danger or threat, everypony will know... And it was finally completed yesterday, after four-hundred seventy years..." Luna now teleported in front of her sister's face, growling and ready to burst out with magical fireworks. She then teleported all over the castle, scaring other Royal Guards into running into forbidden places. She ran across the outskirts of the castle ten times, surprising her Celestia that her younger sister can be so energetic and athletic. She fired a gigantic lunar beam that froze everypony that's fighting over Power Ponies, shocking the rainbow maned alicorn evern more. Luna teleported back to the the castle, huffing and puffing, grumbling quietly to herself, and sat down exhaustingly. Celestia looked outside, and still can't get over the part that Luna actually was a cold hearted Nightmare that had a soul with nothing but silence. "Excuse me sir, but I never thought of that." She then turned back to Luna, and walked towards her. She slipped on the smooth oil painted floor, and was down with Luna, she groaned loud enough for anypony to hear for the first time ever. "I really should fire whoever chose oil to replenish the castle floor... Right, it was Coal Gate." The princess mumbled, then asked her sister as she struggled to get back up, "Anyways Luna, how did you manage to freeze them? I never seen you do something that impressive with your magic before." Luna suddenly felt motivated enough to get up, and arrogantly brushed off the dust and sweat on herself, she swung her hoof in the air as if she was a role model being snapped by cameras everywhere. Instead she was returned by this awkward glance from her sister, who seemed unimpressed and almost disturbed by Luna's actions. The deep blue alicorn coughed and replied proudly, "Well yes, this was also my case of emergency when something big comes up. This spell will keep anything still for as long as I want them to be!" "DUN-DUN-DUN DUN DUN! Cadance is here! Your wish is upon Mi Amore!" A smaller, pink but colorful alicorn gracefully skipped in and twirled once and already collapsed onto the floor. Now both Celestia and Luna are staring at their niece, frowning and rolled their eyes. "Okay okay, I'm sorry!" Cadence got up to her hooves uneasily, and only to slip again. "Just trying to get my friendly dance move on the spot... You spelled my name wrong, whoever is attempting to narrate us. It's Cadance with an 'a'! Not 'e'." Fine fine, I'm sorry. "Yes, I know. The floor this time is oily, I don't understand why didn't Coal Gate ask for the original painting instead of this..." Celestia dropped her head. "Cadance!" Luna trotted over to the younger princess and picked her up, put her right hoof behind her and pointed her left hoof outside the window, "Are you impressed by my new freezing spell that made Canterlot a divine piece of art?" "Umm, what spell? All I see right now are ponies fighting over about Power Ponies or something like that when you first sent a message to me." Luna opened her eyes wide, she ran towards the window. The conflict resumed normally, everypony were still bickering, hoof fighting and throwing meterors at each other. She slowly turned back, only to be met with another stare by Celestia, who raised her left eyebrow. "I thought you said it's as long as you wanted it to be, that wasn't even ten seconds..." "Well, I-" Luna stuttered, and switched topics, "W-well anyways! Cadance is here! She knows how to handle the issue!" She pulled the Princess of Love next to her, baring her teeth smiling. Both Celestia and Cadance sighed and shook their heads. "Oh well, here goes!" Cadance bent her head down and concentrated on her horn. Pink sparks began emitting out but it's not enough to call it off. Then, a giant red heart began forming out as it grew and grew. It finally stopped, and much to Celestia and Luna's surprise, their jaws dropped and did not breathe a single breath. The giant heart was large enough to cover the a third of Canterlot itself. Cadance levitated the heart outside of the castle, slowly as it goes, it landed perfectly onto the crowd that's fighting the most. Everypony stopped and looked up, wondering what the heck that giant red thing actually is. Soon, the heart burst and splattered into millions of tiny hearts that's the size of an average pony's heart. Each of the hearts flew into each of the ponies, and within seconds, all of the ponies stopped what they're doing, and dropped their weapons, that includes the last meteror just being launched by Derpy because she was in the middle of doing so. "Wow, what was I thinking?" Fancy Pants looked down and put flinched back when he saw a club right in front of him, he thought he was the one who used it to beat little fillies and his friends. Others noticed the weapons and the injuries on other ponies' faces, and soon felt guilty as well. "Gee, I guess I'm sorry for my ruthlessness, it's just a comic book after all!" Lemon Hearts apologized, while not aware that she was still holding a stallion with her magic, she accidentally threw him away out of Canterlot and into the wild mountains. "I'm sorry." "Yea, I'm sorry too." "Sorry!" The ponies apologized to one another and helped each other out, rebuilding the city by afternoon. The sun shined on the three Princesses, who were looking at the holy object without blinking at all, they finally sat down and caught their breath, finally solving the issue even though the sisters didn't even do much about it. "Wait hold on, what about Ponyville?" Luna panicked again, only to be stopped by Cadance as she put her right hoof softly onto Luna's chest. "Don't worry, my magical heart created enough hearts to go to Ponyville as well. I was aware that it was Ponyville that can start this ruckus." She then turned around and frowned, "And it just had to be Twilight..." Celestia then raised her white body up, she walked over to Cadence, and kissed her forehead. "You have done well, my niece. If it weren't for you, nopony would've solved this issue." "Thank you aunty!" The pink alicorn hugged Celestia, who can only chuckle and smile, "It was my duty and honor to stand by you!" "And now, you may return to Crystal Empire as you wish. My Guards will escort you out to the train station." "Wait, you took your sweet time on the train while you could've just teleported here?" Luna interrupted and stared into Cadance, who facehoofed herself just like her aunt. "Right, I forgot. Now Shining's gonna kill me for using those bits on these expensive train tickets!" "That's okay, you can still teleport back home. Just tell him that you bought something for me because we haven't seen each other for so long." Celestia adviced. "Sure! But before I can leave..." Cadance suddenly got this sinister smile which intimidated Celestia and Luna was on full guard, ready to spring into action anytime. "Can I get a chocolate pretzel please? I never had one since we met for the first time!" She pleaded on the ground, almost crying for those cheap desserts that one can by in a run down bakery by the corner. Celestia frowned and sighed, "Fine, but we're running out of them because of you." Celestia remembered that she forgot to buy those chocolate pretzels for years since she met Cadance. She nevertheless pulled a chocalate pretzel over and Cadance suddenly leaped like a harbor seal and caught the fish while it was still in the air. Celestia rolled her eyes and turner her head away to prevent herself witnessing how her niece munches on the pretzel on the floor. "Om-nom-nom-nom-nom! Mmm! This is delicious!" Cadance finished her meal without cleaning her mouth, because she wants to leave the delicious crumbs there for her to smell and taste one at a time. "Okay! I'm done! Adios!" POOF went the Princess of Love. Luna furiously leapt onto her sister, and demanded for more chocolate pretzels, but Celestia can only tell her the truth that Cadance ate the last one. Enraged and hungry, Luna set off a long time quest in search of the seven Chocolate Pretzels. By taking the train that is to Crystal Empire so that she can get revenge on Cadence first. "Why didn't she just teleport...?" Celestia shook her head and walked back to her bed. Post Crisis: The AftermathAt Ponyville, it was just as Cadance had said: Everything returned to normal, nopony were fighting any longer over Power Ponies, except for Pipsqueak and Noteworthy because they originally were arguing about it anyways way before. Shortly after Cadence's gigantic heart spell thing, once the two were reminded that the whole town were arguing about the Power Ponies, they went back to bickering. At the FR castle, things have calmed down as well, with the friends apologizing to each other about how much they are getting heated up about a simple comic book. "I'm terribly sorry for getting upset with my friends, and especially you Applejack, you meant well trying to stop me from going overboard." Twilight smiled at her and hugged her all over until the orange earth pony can breath no more. "Y-ya welcome Ah guess, but there ain't need to choke the heck out of me!" She firmly resisted to Twilight's vicious friendship hug, and pushed her backwards. "D-do I have to apologize too? I'm sooo confused, please forgive me!" Fluttershy ducked and as she asked Twilight a request for a freakin' apology. "Fluttershy, don't be scared, we're all good now! In fact you're the only pony here who wasn't arguing, which was a pretty good job of you for self control!" Twilight then thought of more to say, and then it hit her, "But since you didn't do anything to break us from arguing, so technically speaking you should apologize." The Fluttershy's eyes grew with sadness and was forced to apologize, geez that was stupid of her to even ask. "I'd say, that was the most I can ever get from you Rainbow! It was quite fascinating!" Rarity walked back into the castle, along with Rainbow Dash with Rarity's new brand called the Gazzling Spazza, which was not the least favorite dress Rainbow wore previously in punishment, because the Gazzling Spazza can only be made from Rainbow's hair. The pegasus now trotted in elegantly, showing off her own material literally, and leapt in the air then did a figure eight, gliding onto the center of the table, then her dress shined with rainbow glitters, her wings shot out from her side and emitted light. The thought of having her as a model actually impressed everypony, Rarity's idea was brilliant when other ponies can only drool at Rainbow's beauty, until, "HELL YEA! I'M WAY TOO AWESOME! Nopony is sexier than me!" She shot up and spun and dived straight down back to the floor. Everypony else shook their heads and rolled their eyes, Rainbow just had to kill the moment. "Ooh! Ooh! Twilight! Twilight! Do I have to apologize? Because if I don't apologize then I'm afraid you guys will suspect me as a horrible friend, then I would be abandoned, then I would be lonely, speaking of that, Gummy is always lonely when I'm not around, despite he's right there in my mane." Her green alligator popped out, stuck out his tongue and bit onto Pinkie's mane. "See? Then the thing is if I apologize at the wrong time, which is possibly right now, you guys might suspect me as crazy and still ditch me from the position of your friend, I must act quick now, now and now and now and NOW! Twilight should I apolog-" "WELL, since you did nothing to help us and blurted out random stuffs just to join in the argument. I strongly recommend you to apologize..." Twilight was about to go all out, the fuse in her horn is about to fade and create a new sort of Sparkle. "And if you don't freakin' be quiet now, I will seriously kill you and take you off my friends list." She hovered a blank sheet of paper over and pretended to uncheck Pinkie off her made up Friends That I Will Never Unfriend list. Pinkie Pie jumped up in shock, and quickly knelt down and banged her head on the floor rapidly, "I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry!" Pinkie's tears were going out, and they flooded the area around them. Twilight rolled her eyes but smiled, "Good, and now, who else needs to apologize?!" Twilight glared towards the animals, then at Fluttershy who apologized already. They all shrieked and fled out of the castle. "Well that does it..." "Twi', why are you demanding us to apologize again?" Applejack walked over to her side and turned to her face. "Because, so we can avoid something like this again and not have to cause chaos all over the castle." The Princess of Friendship responded abnormally. Or Ponyville and Canterlot in this case... Applejack gulped and found an excuse to leave the castle, "Ah, uhhh, have some zap harvest to do-" "Today's not even the day. How come you never brought it up before that zap apples are under process?" Twilight leaned towards the orange mare as she tried to back away towards the castle door. "W-well, Ah forgot to tell y'all! It's just that Ah w-was being busy these days and never got the chance!" Applejack never lied, but to Twilight, it seems suspicious because she is stuttering and fumbling her words nervously, with sweat flooding her face. To the rest of her friends, Applejack is telling the truth, but her truth is just too doubtful to believe, plus the Princess is now glaring at her, ready to attack and threaten the life out of her. So she had no choice but to wave a quick goodbye and trip out the door. Then she got back up and ran back to Sweet Apple Acres as quick as possible. "Twilight, darling! I'm awfully sorry that we ruined your birthday party today! I never expected this would happen." Rarity walked over to the lavender alicorn and put her left hoof onto Twilight's cheek. Rarity was not afraid or embarrassed to apologize because she's always ready to take responsibility no matter how tender the situation was or how little of her fault it was. "Unlike that Applejack who just will not consider her friendship and is stubborn like a mule!" She hissed under her breath, but was heard by a mule outside who stormed in. It was Cranky Doodle. "WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY YOU FOUL MOUTH PONY?!" The gray donkey bawled, his forehead is lava red and his pores are fuming. Pinkie Pie noticed her friend and jumped over to greet him, "Hey Cranky! What is up! What made you com-" "Not now Pinkie!" Cranky retorted and somehow threw the incoming bouncing mare out of the castle, leaving the other three ponies remaining speechless. "Cranky! Do you want to take a look at my new fashion design called the Gazzling Spazza? I'm certain it will amuse you!" The fashionista mare levitated Rainbow Dash in front of Cranky. The gray donkey gawked at the beautiful and awesome dress wore onto Rainbow. The scales are glittering and shimmering with innumerable colors that acted as if a bright colored portal is ready to suck the pleased donkey in. The diverted lines and streaks are alined perpendicularly as it created multiples of mini and vivid images that no mind can come up with. Buttons and collars are also rainbow painted and will impress anypony (donkey in this case) when they even come close of touching it. "My Matilda! That is marvelous!" Cranky's eyes shined and mouth opened wide, "Excuse my rudeness earlier before, Miss Rarity, I want to know where and how did you even come up with this masterpiece?" He began escorting the unicorn out of the castle, while she pulled Rainbow Dash in the air with her magic, who crossed her hooves and frowned. Twilight finally felt the need to fall onto the ground and relax, tired and exhausted with all the pointless arguing with her friends (or Applejack). She thought she can give herself some private time to think over her mistakes and how she can fix it until some dragon returned. "Twilight, I'm sorry for starting all this ruckus, I should've known better than being a empty headed assistant and unaware of who you are. If I only didn't bring this Power Ponies thing up to you, you wouldn't have to go through all this chaos." Spike stood next to his best friend, head hung low, claws lifelessly aside his torso. His eyes aren't watery but he was ready to break down and ruin himself, he wanted to take full responsibility on this incident. Twilight however stood up and nuzzled him, "Oh Spike! It wasn't your fault, it was nopony's fault! None would have thought this would turn out to be a skirmish between the six of us." She then switched tone, "But Spike, I think there is a lesson you have learned after all this, and it's really important that you have made yourself experiencing it." "What is it?" The purple drake looked up to the alicorn as she responded, "Don't take everything so seriously at heart, even if it does seem like it's your responsibility. You have to make things easier for you even if it's overwhelming and stressful. Similar to my amount of paperwork ever since I became a princess, it's long, monotonous, ticking, pressuring. I even had to go into Big Mac's brain to learn a thing or two from him about handling stress." Spike stood there dumbfoundedly for a short while, and finally jumped onto Twilight, hugging her hoof five inches off the ground. Twilight giggled and shook her head, and hugged her number one assistant back. "Twilight! Thank you for reminding me of today's moral, I will take it to heart!" Spike vowed and put his left claw onto his chest while standing straight and head high. "See? That's my number one assistant I'm proud of-" "OH COME ON! You completely misunderstood the point of today's lesson!" A yellow claw of an eagle appeared out of the blue and snapped out a bat then whacked Twilight on the head with the same bat on a larger lion paw. Soon pieces of bat wing and pegasus wing combined on a long and wavy gray body, which finally formed a horse head. Antlers of a deer and a goat came running across the crystal floor and hopped onto the horse head. Goat and lizard leg grew out at the bottom of the body. Finally came the un-matching eyeballs and bushy eyebrows (they're better than Bush anyways), then a goat beard was brushed out, and finally a snake tongue hissed out of the creature's mouth. "DISCORD?!" Twilight yelled furiously at the draconequus, annoyed everytime he comes to ruin her momentum, "What in Equestria are you talking about?" "Well I was waiting for the right time to, you know: Pound the alarm when you and your little scaly friend to learn the lesson of today's problematic... Problem you know." Discord teleported behind Spike and summoned a pair of scissors to cut the green scales on the dragon, Spike pushed him back and angrily glared at him, the draconequus shrugged as if nothing had happened. He teleported back to Twilight and shook his index claw. "Tst tst tst! But no, you have failed my test Twilight. You did not know what to do under this circumstance I created, and it was your sister-in-law who managed to cease all this disharmony in Ponyville and Canterlot." "Wait WHAT?! YOU WERE THE ONE WHO STARTED ALL THIS?!" Twilight flew up and nose to nose pointed with the former ruler of Equestria, who only teleported the Princess of Friendship back to her original spot. "Well, can't say that this argument between you and Applejack would've happened by normal condition, so I decided to make things a little bit more, interesting. Plus, like I stated before, I did this so that you and Spike can learn the lesson." “What was the lesson then?" Twilight and Spike asked at the same time, not realizing that they did. "Well, consider this: Issue #69 was a complicated issue, so it just had to apply to this dire situation-" "Ohhhh! I get it now! Issue #69 is complicated! Ha- No not funny at all, spill the beans already!" Twilight interrupted hastingly. "Now now, lets keep a level head and continue with my lecturing analysis. While you got yourself into an argument that should've never been an argument, you failed to recognize that." Twilight's pupils shrank, and she fell over like a stone. Then Discord flew around Spike and pointed his claw at him, "And as for you, my little Spikey friend: Your problem isn't being stressed and overwhelmed like what Twilight had said earlier, but you have done nothing to take responsibility of your believed guilt." "What do you mean by that?" Spike looked up and followed his sight on the floating Discord surrounding him. "While the Six were recklessly arguing... except for my Fluttershy! She's wonderful!" He almost let out a squeak, but nevertheless controlled himself and continued, "You were sitting there watching the consequence go by and blaming yourself for starting all this. Instead, you could've just went to stop the whole bickering by reminding them what was the whole purpose of arguing over this anyways? Although Fluttershy first of all I don't blame her for her personality for situations like that, but it was mostly because it wasn't her responsibility at all. She was not feeling guilty as much as you were." "Wow, so it wasn't what Twilight had said, it was because I was not responsible enough to clean my own mess!" DING DING DING! Discord ringed a bell and then made his head fall onto the floor into pieces, the rest of his body snapped a broom and a portal. He swept the pieces of his head into the portal and it was remade into his original head back onto his body. "Exactly correct! You have passed my test!" Discord clapped and summoned balloons and a Discord bobblehead to give to Spike in reward. "And as for you, Twilight. You should've known better as the Princess of Friendship to recognize your own weaknesses at hoof." He teleported near Twilight and bent his head near her. "You always get yourself in messes over minor details that don't even matter, and in the end, not only have you tangled yourself all over, but you accomplished nothing!" Discord shook his index claw again shaking his head at the same time, then followed by Spike who did the same exact thing. "Ugh! Fine!" Twilight got back up and started pushing Discord out of her castle. "Thank you Discord okay?! For teaching me about my personal problems and not minding your own business!" Before the draconequus can say anything in response, she slammed the castle door hard. "Wow! So this is why Applejack didn't put the Daring Do autobiography into her present box, because of this!" He took out Power Ponies: Issue #69 Part Two, Twilight smiled at the fact that Applejack was thoughtful of Spike too for he never had his own birthday party before. Unfortunately, it wasn't what everyone had expected. "ARE YOU KIDDING MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE?!!!!!!!!!!!!!" "You know what Mane-iac? I'm done with doing you." Marevelous unwrapped her lasso and stood up, "This is getting really awkward." The two ponies by now have rolled all the way to Uptown in 215 street, by the river that divides Manehattan and The Broncos. The water is shimmering and the sun is up. Wait, how long have they been doing this? "What?! No come on! I want more!" Mane-iac childishly waggled and begged, "The fun's just getting started!" "No it's not, in fact, it's ending right now." The red suited heroine pulled Mane-iac up and walked away. "Wait, aren't you going to arrest me?" Mane-iac bewilderedly asked, not knowing what the hell is going on with the heroine's dirty mind. "I've had enough fun with you." Marevelous epicly turned back to Mane-iac, her former playmate, before turning back to her front and trotting stylishly and tripping over a stone. The sun now showed it's all as it hovered above the horizon and the trees in Van Coltland park, the dusk has officially slipped away into the nebulous, stars went back to sleep. Mane-iac smiled at her former partner, who has given her a time of soothing leisure, and went back snickering evily with her next plan to conquer the world. "Oh. Why didn't I just arrest her...?" Marevelous got back up and noticed that the villain was nowhere in sight, she facehoofed herself and shrugged, all she got to do was call her friends and stop Mane-iac once again and arresting her for good... Right? Stay tuned for Power Ponies Issue #70! "I told you to get the latest copy of Issue #69 but you weren't even listening to me!" A unicorn slammed his thick and hard hoof down on the conference crystal table, almost cracking it. "Sir Armor! I'm sorry, and I don't like it either! But this is the full issue!" Tea Cup leaned back and extended his two hooves out to confirm his innocence. "You know what? Fine! I'm just going to read it and see!" "Thank you for your thoughtful consideration, kind Sir, if you have anymore issues plea-" "What did you just SAY?!" Shining Armor is now officially stomping onto the table, his eyeballs completely bloody red. He launched himself towards Tea Cup's face, the brown bearded and mustached face was not even two centimeters away from the angry white stallion on the verge to murder someone. "You want. TO TAKE ALL OF MY FREAKIN' POWER PONIES ISSUE COLLECTION AWAY FROM ME?! AFTER I YEARS AND YEARS OF WORKING MY PLOT OFF TO GET THESE! YOU WANT TO TAKE THEM AWAY?!" "N-no, kind Sir! Please forgive my choice of wording! I didn't mean to-" "TAKE HIM OUT! FIRE HIM! STRIP HIM OF HIS CONSUL TITLE!" Shining Armor commanded furiously as turned his back against Tea Cup, who is now reaching his left hoof to beg for help and mercy, "And literally too." Shining Armor rubbed his hooves back and forth while smiling freakishly. His Guards sighed took the poor coffee brown stallion out of the court house and stripped his badge, his title and his honor completely. Sigh... his clothes, his (wig) mane and tail, until he's completely naked. "N-NO! Please! You can't possibly have done this! SHINING ARMORRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!" Resisted heavily to his former consul's cries, Shining Armor began reading Issue #69 and skimming over it. Until his wife stepped into the court house to check on him, who was in shock not because he is reading Power Ponies, but why he is standing on the middle of the court table. "Honey," She sighed, "What are you so up about? I can hear you from the train station." "Oh nothing, just that somepony is 'condemned' for their disloyalty of their country." Shining Armor responded without even taking a look at Cadence, who rolled her eyes and asked another question, "Are you for Equestria's sake serious? That's like the 69th time you fired a pony NOT for your country, but for your own whim! And why are they all consuls too?" "Oh I did? Well that's their problem for ticking me off everytime when I get a new issue of the Power Ponies." "Why are you even so into this anyways? You're becoming overly obsessed." She hated to say it, so she grumbled it out, "like Twilight..." "Really? My sister reads them too?" Shining now is jumping up and down like a dog who has been wandering on the streets for days looking for food, to Cadence he sometimes is. "Well, not really, but that was why I was called over by Aunt Celestia and Luna to solve a predicament because everypony somehow were all arguing about it nonstop and even waging wars on each other." Before Shining Armor can respond, a shadowy figure produced magic and blasted some Royal Guards into the court house. She trotted in slowly through the dust and smoke, but the steam produced by her nose was more visible than any. Cadence saw this figure to be familiar, and she told her husband to back off, for this is personal. "Cadence!" The Princess of the Moon shouted towards the Princess of Love, who was also ready for a fight, for it's at the threat of her subjects and her lover. "Oh hey Luna! We were just talking about yo-" And he was slapped hardly on the face by Cadence, "Ow! What the heck did you do that for?!" He then noticed Cadence's threatening glare of this-is-a-thing-between-mares-so-stay-out-of-it-before-anything-happens-to-you-next. Shining Armor gulped and backed off cowardly, some captain of the Royal Guard was he. "Luna! I don't know why you are here but if you want to deal with my empire! You will have to go through me first!" Then, she furiously charged towards the Princess of the Night with full might. Same with Luna, as she opened her wings wide to ram into Cadence with full speed. The two belligerents had no time to produce quick magic, but Luna was a step ahead as she quietly charged her Nightmare Dusk spell, while Cadence is also charging hers, only a little later than Luna. The two were so close to each other before hitting the climax until Luna shouted out, "You ate the LAST CHOCOLATE PRETZEL SISTER HAD! And you shall PAY FOR IT!" Cadence suddenly stopped and changed her direction to the left a little bit as she tried to comprehend to what her aunt-in-law was saying. She began laughing out to her loudest, Luna couldn't stop her hooves once she crashed into Shining Armor (who was told to stay out of the way, but unfortunately he went to get another issue of the Power Ponies and was met with Luna). "HAHAHAHAHA! Luna! I never knew you can be so adorable sometimes! You remind me of Twilight when she was only a filly! So playful and immature!" Luna threw Shining Armor to the side, and shook off the dust and crystal glitter off her, surprised and enraged by what she had said. "What did you just say?! How dare thou insult-" "Here you go!" The pink alicorn threw the other half of the chocolate pretzel she didn't eat and fetched it to Luna, who opened her mouth and tasted it. "Om-nom-nom-nom-nom-nom! Mmm! That was delicious! Thank you!" Luna flew down to nuzzle her sister's niece, but then realized that she was still charging her spell. She panicked and fled around the room, "Oh no! What should I do?! What am I supposed to do?!" "Umm, can't you just stop charging it?!" Cadence awkwardly suggested. "What? C-cancel it?! I-I forgot how to!" "Oh you got to be kidding me!" Cadence facehoofed her face harder than before, but then she thought of a bizarre idea herself. "Hey I know! Since I'm also midst of charging a spell, why don't you fire it towards mine and logic will cancel each other out right?" "Woah woah woah! Since when does that even work?!" Shining Armor strongly protested, "Why can't Luna just fire it outside-" "I'd say that is an EXCELLENT IDEA!" Luna's eyes lit up like a bulb, Shining Armor sighed and rolled his eyes for being interrupted with such foalishness. "Okay then! Here goes!" Cadence then focused her speed on charging her spell, Luna did the same. Then, the two princesses now each obtain one hell of a giant spherical glowing ball that can just hurt ponies by blinding them permanently. "No no no, girls! I don't suppose this is much of a good idea..." Shining Armor suggested timidly before the two alicorns fired their blasts at each other. Oh whatever, too late anyways. Meanwhile, Adrenaline Spear and Snowy Springs looked vacantly towards the unknown green hill they are on, there were nothing but grassy hills and clear skies and grassy hills and clear skies and grassy hills... "Oh shut up! It's nothing but these two!" Adrenaline Spear snapped, sick of the fact that they are stuck here and have no clue which way to go. “Hey, at least this place is beautiful!" Snowy disagreed, running around the hills, constantly tripping over and sliding down on them, "I would just live here!" "Well yeah, ever since that random meteor blasted us all the way to here somehow. It does look nice, but how in Equestria are we going to find food and seek shelter? It's all open land here!" Adrenaline then looked back to when a meteor popping out of nowhere after Luna accidentally threw them out the window, and with full might just wiped him and Snowy off the map. "Right... That is a big problem at hoof right now." Snowy stopped and rubbed his white hooves onto his chin for awhile, thinking of a plan for survival while Adrenaline looks up into the blue skies for an answer, he spotted a flying pony like creature coming their way. "Umm, hey Snowy. Do you think that's also another pony unfortunately thrown away by chance, like literally?" He pointed his hoof towards the unknown pony, who appears to be a stallion as it closes in onto the two Guards. Snowy wasn't even half as scared when he noticed the stallion flying towards their direction. "Don't know, it seems to be-" CRASH! The golden earth pony got back onto his hooves, didn't realize that he was standing on the two soldiers, almost crushed their bones as he walked off them and into the embracing grass and the endless hills onwards. But then he sighed and asked himself, "Why did I tell Lemon Hearts that I prefer reading Issue #69 than doing it with her...?"
Pre-Crisis: Issue #69Once upon a time, there was a beautiful land named Equestria. Equestria was dominated by a certain species called ponies. There were three types of ponies: Earth pony, Unicorn, and Pegasus. The earth ponies, the most hardworking out of the three, always making food with their powerful physical abilities, also do the tougher works around Equestria. They are considered the ones whom you thought of as friendly, welcoming and delighted. Next are the unicorns, ponies gifted with a horn which can produce magic: a powerful source that can affect anything physically, mentally and emotionally. Because of this talented skill, unicorns are mostly elegant, styled, wealthy, and most nobly admired out of the three. Like the Unicorns, Pegasi are also gifted ponies, only with wings that is. They have the ability to fly, something many fillies, colts and even non flying species dreamed to do. The joyous and freedom of flying gave Pegasi the stereotype of arrogance, pride, excitement, happiness... While the earth ponies contribute on land, the Pegasi does the same in the sky, controlling the weather to ensure everypony else is enjoying the day. With these three types of ponies working together to thrive in this world balanced out by harmony and chaos... "MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! NOPONY SHALL STOP MY EVIL SCHEMES FROM PROCEEDING! NOT EVEN THE POWER PONIES!" Sigh... There will always be lunatic villains that always wants to take over the world... And in the end, they always fail... Oh and by the way, this villain is called Mane-iac, an earth pony who has these ambitious plots always in Maretropolis, a city that is often under attack by villains like her. Also Maretropolis is a ripoff of Manehattan in reality, which is a counterpart to Manhattan in the human world. "Not so fast! Mane-iac!" A familiar voice that all civilians will be relieved with once they heard it, as a golden lasso darted out of nowhere (well it came from those two large apartment buildings on Damsteram Avenue to be exact). It quickly blinded Mane-iac's henchponies, then the large circle created by the lasso suddenly shrank to trap the main villain. The latter was pulled over by the lasso with a mighty strength of tug into the air, and once landed back onto the dusty ground, she looked up, only to be caught by the one and only mare who wields the amazing lasso that can grab anything: MISTRESS MARE-VELOUS! "NO! Grrr Marevelous!" Mane-iac growled as she struggled to break free. "You won't get away with this!" And childishly attempts to slap our heroine with her green hair like thing that's probably mixed with jello made of dirty and unwanted plastic that wasn't even recycled by the broken street in Harlem. What's even more ridiculous, is that she missed her attack by quite a distance as her hair hit a light pole. Marevelous rolled her eyes with this frown directed to Mane-iac meaning stupidity. She pulled the villainous villain up to her nose with her lasso... Just to note: Her lasso is a complete ripoff from Wonder Woman from the human world too. "What are you talking about? I got this thing off eBake! And it was used from the seller too... Oh darn it..." She let go of Mane-iac, who was finally relieved of not having to touch the dirty ground again, groaned once she got back down. Marevelous put her front hooves up to her mouth, trying to shut herself from saying anymore irrelevant but factual truth about her lasso, because now everypony will simply see her as a scumbag who can't even earn money instead of a hero who constantly saves the day. Marevelous's shame has gotten to the core of her soul, her face became bloody red from embarrassment, until... "Hey you!" She pointed upwards. "Get back to the plot and stop making me feel worse with your stupid narrating!" Ugh, somepony just had to kill the moment... Anyways, she bent down and nose to nose pointed against Mane-iac, who was now angry yet terrified with her sudden ambush. The two opposite poles of North and South have confronted each other at the climax. Does Mane-iac have other plans for future, did she intent for this to happen? Or did Power Ponies save the day once more? Or night in this case. Stay tuned for issue #70 of the Power Ponies! "A-actually, Mane-iac?" Marevelous began, "I-I've always wanted to tell you this..." Mane-iac looked up, only to see the Mistress blushing, her body was all over hers, smoothly rubbing and touching her purple hooves and body... Wait hold on, WHEN IS THIS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN?! "Woah woah woah wait!" Mane-iac retaliated to Marevelous's strange action, "Don't you try and get dirty tricks off your dirty hooves so that you can get rid of me!" "No..." Marevelous continued with each sentence being quiter and more disturbing, oh this is bad, THIS IS BAD! "But you're right about one thing, my hooves are going to get dirty with you... This whole trick will get tangled up in my lasso and the scene will be very complicated... And dirty too..." She repeated "dirty" twice. FREAKIN' TWICE! Then took off her red suit, and tied her lasso with her. No no NO! MISS! You're ruining the franchise for kids! The audience is made up of GOD DAMN KIDS! "Ha! So you are trying to get rid of me!" Mane-iac continued, thank goodness she did not get the idea of what is actually happening. Until Marevelous puts her lips against hers, completely KILLING THE SUSPENSE! MAREVELOUS! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?! "You're right in a sense... But think it as of making your heart... Mine..." She grasped and hugged the villain tight smooching and kissing her rapidly (something she can actually do "quickly"). Mane-iac for some reason, went maniac and did the same thing back... Oh $&*@! The two lovers now rolled all over the streets and sidewalks, banging into poles, chairs, mailboxes, and with each other. They did this all up until sunrise... While it did make sense that this is Issue #69, doesn't mean that they literally have to take it... Literally... Sigh... But hey this Issue was "Mare-Velous"!
Crisis: Twilight RantsSpike finished the comic book and confusingly stared blankly, not knowing what the hell did he just read. He slowly turned his head around to ask for some clarifying explanation from Twilight. As a baby dragon, Spike was always innocent, other than burning out half the Special Agency for Secret Service Association (or SASSY in this case) building in Canterlot, or eating up a whole library in Crystal Empire because they were made up of gems. Power Ponies was the perfect tool to keep him busy and entertained with life so that he wouldn't go depressed on not having a childhood and commiting suicide, however, this time the latest issue has became... Well, an issue, because the structure of the plot was completely off from the original heroes-defeating-villains-and-saving-the-freakin'-day stuff, instead, it was... Romantic to be exact, like how he feels when seeing Rarity everytime. While Twilight was always fascinated with science and knowledges and discoveries and experimenting and studying, she often gets them off reading books, and that definitely includes reading classical literature that can make a dumbo like Daffy Duck into an educated looking banker who seems to understand the law, or read and analyze everypony's movement, motivation and feelings. "Twilight!" He called out to the mane table in the castle throne room, which Twilight always happened to be in everyday when she got up, usually eating breakfast or reading OR sleeping on her chair in that room... Life as a princess was never easy since she became one: Files to fill out, forms to sign, matters to discuss about everything that's complicated and annoying. To add salt in the water, Twilight herself almost always puts herself into stress, eventually overwhelming her and exhausting her life out. This time, Twilight was eating pancake mixed with waffle and maple syrup, while the appetizer was hay and... Just hay... "Yes Spike?" The alicorn responded, not ready to expect what's going to come up, she's just going to screw it and take a chance. "Twilight! Twilight!" Spike continued to call her name, only succeeding in making Twilight roll her eyes in frustration. "I really don't understand what's going on here?" "What what's going on?" Twilight replied once more, but still a bit tired from last night's checklist to complete. She finished her meal and levitated the dishes to the sink where Spike will wash afterwards. "It's the new issue of Power Ponies! I don't understand why this is happening?" Spike worriedly answered as he finally reached the throne room. Twilight stared at him, he stared back waiting for an answer, only to meet with laughter. "Oh Spike! That's what you're so up about? It's just a fictional comic book! Anything can happen once it's made up from imagination!" She put a hoof in front of her mouth and giggled like a girl who likes to talk about everyone behind their backs. "Hey! I don't do that!.... Anyways Spike, comic books aren't reality, so there shouldn't be anything bothering you so much." "It's not that, but I can't seem to understand what's going on in this monthly issue. I just need somepony to help me summarize it." Twilight rolled her eyes and sighed quietly so that Spike can't hear her, despite seeing that she is sighing. Sometimes her number one assistant can make things ironical when she, a princess who's supposed to need some assist from other ponies, is now assisting her own assistant with assistance, which then reminded her when she received her assistantship as Celestia's student back in Canterlot. "Fine." She reluctantly accepted with a short groan in the end. She grabbed Issue #69 from Spike's claws with her magic and skimmed it through while saying, "It shouldn't be that bad since it's for little fillies and colts-" She stopped cold, the whole world exploded, civil wars are just about in every corner in Equestria, high ranked ponies brutally punished themselves and made it as violent as possible before killing themselves violently as possible. Twilight wished she would've took back everything she just said three of her sentences ago. She tried to smile awkwardly, but it still became awkward enough to the point that she didn't even want it to be awkward anymore. Her eyes opened wide, her smile was with her teeth closed shown, but crooked looking as possible. She stopped her magic and dropped the issue, she shook as if she was in Yakyakistan or Sigh Berra's snowy mountains... No. Even worse, deep in Tartarus being frozen within a solid block of never melting ice. "What. The. Heck. Did. I. Just. Freakin'. Read?" Twilight shakingly spoke, making Spike backing off in fear of Twilight being angered by a simple comic book. Sweat now is pouring down the purple dragon's body, while the lavender alicorn is sweating for a different reason, because her nose is steaming harder than the engine used to run large factories in the city of Industry itself, despite there shouldn't be any factories there. The mad princess now teleported all over the castle, ran around the throne table three times at least, took a deep breath, and continued running until she didn't feel like it. Spike sighed in relief until he was welcomed by magical fireworks and exploding sparks that can actually hurt somepony, he jumped and ran to take cover. Twilight on the other hand made so much chaos over a comic book that she forgot about her- "SURPRISE!" As a giant cannon entered the main castle door and fired a shot larger than any of Twilight's magical Sparkles, and vanquished them all somehow. The fired shot from the cannon made a much larger firework while Pinkie Pie took the chance to come in and jump on the distracted alicorn, knocking her onto the floor, and hugging her all over. Twilight did not have the time to react to this "surprise" when she shrugged Pinkie off, until she groaned loudly once the rest of the Six all went up on her and made her go back onto the floor again. "Okay, what in Equestria is going on here?" Twilight demanded after forcing herself to get back up (and should I say that she didn't exclude the necessity of using magic on her friends by pushing her friends back to the castle doorway? Oooooooh), as she saw the colorful balloons, party hats, a large structure of cake, smells of sweet apples and apple pies planted acres away from the Friendship Rainbow Kingdom Castle, animals whom were all seen nearby the Everfree forest all the time, they were lined up with well made clothes in a little wardrobe enough to be carried and at last: Her friends, all standing by the door smiling happily for the bemused alicorn, each with a present box behind them that is obviously large enough to be seen. Twilight thought what kind of a surprise is that when she knew that the surprise is right there... Hold on, Twilight noticed something was a bit wrong here: Each and every of her friends had a present, all but- "Rainbow Dash..." Twilight frowned as she looked up at the sky blue pegasus flapping in the air, "Why are you the only pony without anything to bring?" "Umm..." Rainbow scratched the back of her head with her hoof, "That's because I got the most AWESOME SURPRISE FOR YOU OUT OF EVERYPONY ELSE!" She took out a large present box out of her back somehow and dropped it, knowing that her friend will catch it by surprise. Twilight held it in the air, unwrapped it mannerfully and calmly, and opened the red box. Inside, there was this thick book, colored with brown, while the letters written on the cover was amber yellow. She flipped it through like what she did with Issue #69 and firmly closed it shut. "Daring Do's Autobiography! OH MY GOSH RAINBOW! Thank you so much! You know I've always wanted to get my hooves on these!" She pulled Rainbow down with her magic (too lazy to fly like always) and pounced onto her, hugging her and to the point of kissing her cheeks. The rest just looked at one another, waiting for the lame moment to go over. "Umm, Twilight?" Fluttershy spoke up, "I-I actually have the same present for you." She opened her box nicely and gently placed her Daring Do autobiography book down on the floor. Twilight raised an eye, everypony else sighed and followed by Applejack, "Hate to break it to ya, sugarcube. But Ah just had the same exact idea." She took off her western styled hat and took the same book off her head, placing it on Fluttershy's. Wait, then what was the purpose of the present box? "I have to agree with Applejack, darling." Rarity levitated her present box over and opened it, took out the copy and placed it onto Applejack's. The three looked at each other in embarrassment, shocked at the same time that they thought of the same thing. "T-that's okay!" Twilight staggered her voice, and gulped to catch her breath, even more awkward now that there's four exact same presents given to her. She completely forgot the fact that it was her birthday, even when she saw the gifts and party stuffs in her castle. She then whispered, "At least Pinkie Pie seems to have a different idea for-" "SURPRISE TIMES TWO AND INFINITE ABOVE AND BEYOND!" Pinkie screamed. The same cannon fired a book to Twilight's face, right into her mouth when Twilight couldn't breathe for a few seconds. She needed those brief few seconds of air for life. The book knocked her back onto the floor. With another groan, Twilight got up to see what in the world was that all about, and nearby her, was the ideal gift different from everypony else's... "Are you KIDDING ME?!" Twilight shouted upwards, enough to echo and cause the birds to flee. "It's the same darn thing!" "No it's not." Pinkie shook her head. "It's hard cover." "Ahhh, I see now, it is quite different!" Twilight closed her eyes and was ready to walk back to the throne table until she realized something was wrong. "What difference does that even make?! And why would you even bring a hard copy?" "Oh, because hard copies are more expensive by a bit, so I thought that means they are better than the regular ones." Pinkie smiled, only making Twilight sit back in her throne chair and bang her head on the table. The rest of her friends were confused on her frustration, and all followed to sit in their original chairs bearing their cutie marks. "Cheer up Twilight!" Rainbow Dash encouraged, "It's your birthday after all!" The others nodded, even Spike, who was mainly thinking about what he read today about Issue #69. "Yea yea, my birthd-... MY BIRTHDAY?!" Twilight exclaimed, she began teleporting all over the place again, ran around the throne table at least five times, popped out of somewhere near all of her friends on the other five chairs, and finally teleported back to hers. She took a breath, put her hoof at her chest and swayed it outwards as she exhaled, just like how her former foal sitter Princess Cadence taught her to do when things go out of control. "Well, forget the presents! Lets just have a nice time..." She looked at Pinkie, who seems to be making more shapes out of balloons. "... And a Grand Galloping Party!" Her friends cheered, but then Twilight raised a hoof to hush them. "But before all that, Spike has a little problem with today's new Issue of the Power Ponies." Before anypony has a chance to respond with jokes or laugh at the matter, the alicorn levitated Issue #69 up from the crystal made floor and slammed it hard onto the table with her hoof. "Ow! That does hurt!" Twilight then took out her checklist of Experimental Hypothesis of My New Castle. “Testing the hardness of the throne table, check!" Her friends rolled their eyes as she checked it in her box, Spike simply shrugged because he's used seeing this just about everyday. "Girls, do you know what type of audience Power Ponies is aimed at?" Twilight asked sternly after putting her checklist away, she was already a general of the Royal Guards with her tone and her grim expression. What's worse is that more than half of the ponies don't even read Power Ponies and aren't even sure what's going on. The closest was probably Rainbow Dash, who had read Daring Do often, plus she had been a bit interacted with superhero stuffs before, so she pretty much has a general idea. "Well sugarcube, consider the fact that it's superheroes savin' the day all the time, and there's a lot of fightin' goin' on. Ah'd say it's rated M for mature." Applejack said it in such an intelligent voice that nopony even agreed to listen, because it's one of the stupidest things she has ever said. They all stared at the farming mare, who once was Mistress Marevelous herself back in Season 4. Applejack's face went red, like Marevelous, and like Marevelous, her shame has gotten to the core of her soul. "Ugh fine! Ah don't read books anyways! Ah don't got no time for that when there's labor twenty four seven!" While her friends shook their heads and stopped staring at her, Twilight however was on the edge of erupting when a supervolcano has been aroused after a thousand years when Luna turned into Nightmare Moon and was banished. She furiously glared at Applejack, who seemed to be a little timid when she looked into the alicorn's eyes, the orange earth pony's green eyes really described fear. "Um, Twi?" She bravely asked, "Why are you lookin' at me funn-" Twilight hovered Applejack into the air, then harshly pulled the country gal down like the gravity in Jupiter up to her face. Twilight bared her teeth, and hardly nose to nose pressed against her (this looks familiar). "I. Don't. Want. To hear anymore of those. Accursed double negatives. AGAIN! You hear me?" Applejack can only nod in mercy, while Twilight's flames and sparkling hot auras faded, she let out this big phony smile that injected more fear into Applejack as she teleported her back to her throne chair. "Now," She slapped her front hooves together. "It says here on the issue itself, is rated T for teen, and rated F for foals. They never mentioned anything about 'mature' or E for everypony—" Everypony including Spike glared at Applejack for saying something that stupid before, Applejack can only bend her head down in disgrace. Twilight then continued, "—Because it's about friendly looking superheroes who dress funny and constanly save the day with a good ending, or a two part story with an obvious cliffhanger and then the heroes save the day again. There is no violence, no deaths and no blood. In conclusion, this has to be made for foals and younger generations like the CMC's." "Although I did find many fan made comics online that made Power Ponies TOOOOO-TALLY different! There's intercourse, backstabbing, graphical pornography..." Pinkie interrupted before Twilight can move on to her next sentence. "Pinkie, those are fan based fictions, they don't count as part of the official comic that was made from DC and Marevel." Twilight then counted how many issues of Power Ponies were made so far since the first release. Right... Issue #69 is the latest. "It's like how humans from the other world I went into twice, we are actually fictional characters of the franchise "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic", and they even created this crazy website called "FiMFiction" for their fan based people called "bronies", which are made mostly fat and drunk male people, so they can make up whatever they feel like about us." "We are not... real...?" Fluttershy wimpered, and cried on the table, Rarity went to comfort her and rubbed her pink hair and yellow face. "Well, not in their world, because somehow coincidentally they made us up while in reality we are real in another dimension: Here. In their world, we're not even the first ponies. There were three darn generations before us, and the humans even had themselves interacting with those fat and chubby looking ponies in the show. Tirek was actually one of those villains that got killed in the first generation!" "Wait, so we are basically ponies inspired from made up ponies from a previous generation? And they weren't even real?" Rainbow Dash asked in curiosity, for the first time she actually was curious in Twilight's lectures. "I wouldn't be certain of that Rainbow, those previous generation ponies are probably also living in another dimension right now. The thing is, how did the humans even think of us at first place? Is there a possibility that all of us no matter how far or impossible to communicate, are connected together? This is soooo exciting! I want to research about this right now!" Twilight got off her chair and danced around the table, leaping and hopping. She can't dance... "There are soooo many fan fiction stories about us!" Pinkie told the group, "Such as how Applejack constanly got a broken life because her parents died-" "Wait wha'? They ain't dead! Ma and Pa moved far away to North Cornya when Ah was a filly (yes it is a corny country). They just don' feel like writin' to me much because they are darn lazy!" "Or Rainbow Dash losing her reputation and all those sad things, always making her look helpless and feminine. She's always the pony to die when there's something about losing a friend!" Pinkie continued "Why would they make me so weak and overrated?" Rainbow complained, "Perhaps I'm just too awesome!" She then flew up and made a small stunt, which nopony even bothered to look at. "Or Twilight having these funny moments when truth don't agree with her science! Then she goes cookoo crazy!" "Ugh Pinkie! That actually happens all the time!" Twilight broke, "I'm not perfect or whatsoever." "OOOOH! I love Fluttershy shipping stories! Always about her being romantic with other characters! I never knew Fluttershy can be suuuuuch a slutty pony/human deep down!" "Wait... N-no... Please! That isn't me!" Fluttershy began to cry again, upset with all those fake stories made up about her being romantic, despite she loves romantic stories, she's never experienced it herself. "Fluttershy, darling!" Rarity tried to calm the yellow pegasus down. "You know those are undeniably made up, awful stories! I wish I can be in romantic stories and win that stallion's heart!" She ambitiously smiled and asked Pinkie, "Pinkie Pie, do you know any stories about me?" "Gee, sorry Rarity! I guess you're the least popular out of us six! Barely anybrony wrote anything about you other than a few funny romantic ones where you screw yourself up all the time! Or at least you being annoying (as usual) in general." "HMPH! They are just jealous because they don't understand my style, my elegance, my nobility, my grace, my charm, my beauty, and my generousity!" "Nopony actually understands..." Applejack commented, only to be levitated up by Rarity and pulled her down against Rarity's nose, then threw her back to her throne chair with a THUD. "Hold on, how did you even know all this?" Twilight asked Pinkie Pie, who simply shrugged and replied, "Just my hypothetical guess." She winked an eye to the lavender alicorn, who just shrugged back. "A-a-anyways," Twilight inhaled and exhaled slowly, trying to forget what those bronies's messed up minds were thinking. "Back in Season Four episode Six (ha get it?), when we were sucked into the actual Power Ponies comic book. The tornado Rainbow Dash as Zapp created could've killed many ponies, and even injure us severly-" "Hey! I wasn't that evil!" "Rainbow I never said you were, I was just describing what could've happened to us, but instead the comic made everything seem less violent, because the tornado was only on the streets instead of going in random directions. Nothing bad happened to us, no blood, no scratches, nothing! Or when Fluttershy, Saddle Rager in this case, could've killed Mane-iac or at least her henchponies, but she only took the anger on the doomsday device." *Sniff sniff* Fluttershy sobbed and cried once again on the table, tears overflowing everywhere. "Yes yes I know, you did it for the little firefly..." Twilight rolled her eyes exaggeratedly. "So even through reading the comic and observing the author's choices. Those evidences, prove that Power Ponies is for kids." Her friends nodded in agreement, even Fluttershy, who was not looking up and crying still. "But what is THIS?!" Twilight's voice shot up as she flipped to the page where she froze earlier, which is obviously after Issue #69 should've been done already. She levitated the comic book and pointlessly slammed it down again (with her magic of course), and then everypony gasped dramatically. "Oooh! I love stories like this!" Rarity giggled, and leaned closer to the comic book. Twilight frowned in disgust and moved the comic slightly away from her. "What. Exactly. Is. WRONG WITH DC AND MAREVEL?! Their collabrations are getting dirtier and dirtier! What's even more stupid is that why would they even wait until the 69th issue to show this? To add on, it has nothing to do with the 69 joke!" Twilight exclaimed, "Do they not know this is not appropriate to their level, not even teens are supposed to read things like this..." She sighed, "... Even they still try to do so..." "Gee Twi, Ah never thought superheroes would do somethin' tis super before. Ah have intentions of makin' out with some stallions in the Wild West." "Yes, exactly! I mean-" "Wait WHAT?!" Rainbow Dash interrupted, still in midair, "You are dating a stallion?!" "Well, Ah wouldn't exactly call it datin', but more of something like what's goin' on in Issue #69 right now... Get it?" Applejack smiled, only to be thrown into a wall by Twilight. "ANYWAYS..." Twilight growled after being interrupted rudely, "I think we should sue the compan- WAIT YOU'RE DATING A STALLION?!" "Oh my Celestia..." Rainbow Dash stumbled and dropped back onto the floor. Everypony else including Spike shook their heads. "Anyways..." Twilight refocused back on track. "I think we should sue the company for leaving such bad image on our next generations." "And why do you think that even matters?" Rarity asked, checking the lust on her hooves left by the crystal floor. "Because the next generations will show no discipline! And if that happens, they would not run Equestria as well as before! And if that happens, Equestria will be devastated! Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, and Cadance, and I..." She sobbed because there's something she just didn't want to over think on, but nevertheless resumed her tone. "... can't afford to carry the rest of Equestria on our hunches!" "Twilight calm down!" Rainbow Dash said as she got back up to her hooves, "Since you said teenage ponies like to seek out for this kind of immature garbage, maybe Marevel and DC knew it all along and decided to make these scenes in order to center it just for them." "But it is still wrong to do so!" Twilight did not calm down, and was even louder than before. "And what about the young filles and colts?!" "Ya know sugarcube," Applejack recovered from her head collision against the crystal wall and walked back to the throne table, sat on her chair. "Just because you think is wrong, doesn't mean that it is wrong." "Applejack..." Twilight turned her anger onto the orange mare. "You are really ticking me today... Do you not understand what "wrong" means?!" Everypony (especially Fluttershy) is getting a bit scared of the heated argument and Twilight's rant, they backed off from the table and sat back in their chairs... Well everypony but Pinkie, who seems to be bouncing around like she doesn't care at all. Applejack held her ground like last time when she was threatened to sell off her land against Flim & Flam's cousins: Pick and Dig (with the "g" sound pronouced as "k") "Listen Twi', just because science and facts are relevant and all, doesn't mean that ponies don't have a personal view on what is "wrong". That's not what Ah'm concerned 'bout, tis' just that: You are overreacting about this, you don't even read the series yourself, so why bother so much?" "Didn't you hear what I just said?! If this goes on, the next generation will be turned into mash potatoes of disharmony!" "Oooh! Oooh! I looooooove mash potatoes! Their yellow cream color like Fluttershy! It was DE-licious! Just like Grape Soda Hay Cake!" Pinkie went on and on and on with her stupid looking cake (oh you should've seen it, it was a bottle shaped cake with grape juice poured over it). "Grape Soda Hay Cake...?" Twilight turned around, completely caught off guard with her heated argument with Applejack. "Yeah Twilight! We got the grape juice's color from your skin, it's lavender!" Twilight flashed back to memory mode, where she saw when she was at the Spa, and when those Spa ponies massaged her, they held a small device which absorbs the color of a pony's skin... “Wait... YOU PLANNED THAT?!" Twilight exclaimed to Pinkie. "Well yeah!" Pinkie repeated, "How else?" And continued to bounce around the table. "Ugh geez!" Twilight exhaled from her nose, and turned back to Applejack. "Well Applejack, do you get what I'm trying to do here? SAVING EQUESTRIA FROM DISASTER!" "Do you get wha' AH'M trying to do here?" Applejack mimicked Twilight's expression and speech, "SAVING YOU FROM CORRUPTION! Like last ga' darn time when you were driven mad by that silly little friendship letter when ya didn' even have a deadline!" "Okay, that was crazy, but it has nothing to do with what's going on here!" Twilight fumed, "#69 is an ISSUE!" "I thought it is an issue..." Fluttershy whispered, but still heard by the angry buffalo mode Twilight, who turned around and glared at her. The pink haired pegasus hid behind Rarity, who is also a bit frightened by Twilight's anger still. ~To be continued on the next chapter
Crisis II: And so Does Everypony Else...Applejack and Twilight continued their bickering, while Rarity, Fluttershy and especially Rainbow Dash were bored as hell, therefore Rainbow decided to start things to kill time, "Hey Rarity, remember when we were sucked into that Power Ponies comic book itself? And it took all of us to defeat Mane-iac and her henchponies?" "I've had so many important things going on everyday that I don't even have the valuable and personal time for myself to remember." Rarity answered sarcastically. "Oh, I understand you perfectly Rarity!" Fluttershy agreed, her voice raised from usual. "I always have to deal with ponies everywhere, while I should be taking care of those poor little Angel and bunnies and squirrels at home, and Harry the bear, and the birds, and the fishes in the little stream..." She stopped when she noticed that both the unicorn and the pegasus were staring at her, frowning that she didn't realize what Rarity said was sarcasm. "Oh, okay, I'm sorry..." Her voice died down and backed off like a doormat. "You do realize that you alone should be enough to take care of them all right?" Rainbow Dash flew up and looked down at the white unicorn, who tried to remember which Power Pony did she go in. It was no other than Radiance, who has the power to wish for anything and everything with her jewels on her suit. "Oh...“ She finally said, "Well, I'm not interested with these hideous hero costumes that can ruin my splendid reputation in fashion designing!" She wavered her purple and silky mane back. "Buuuut, since you're so stupid and clumsy, you wished for some teacups and plates which were shattered seconds later in my tornado. You know, you could've wished for something that can forever capture the Mane-iac, or a black hole, or something that kills her, or-" "Wha-What did you just SAY?!" Rarity's mane is now all shook and messed up like zapped by some electric charged... Umm ball lets just say? She used her horn and levitated the rainbow maned mare down from her flight, back into her seat, and bared her teeth like a Tartarus beast. Rainbow Dash was beginning to feel guilty of making her friend get upset, because she was selfish this time and put boredom over friendship. In the end however, she didn't give a damn because she knew they will eventually become friends again after this stupid skirmish. "Didn't you hear me? I said you are stupid and clumsy," Rainbow repeated, then added something that drove Rarity off the charts, "AND petty." Rarity now lost it completely, she didn't even think of going over why Rainbow Dash insulted her at first place, her veins, muscles, bones and even some random organs began to show out behind her white skin. Her eyes changed color, her white teeth flashed, her horn glowed then died, then blinked rapidly. She spread her hooves wide, ready to ask for a fight. "It! Is! ON!" Rarity grabbed Rainbow off her throne seat and pinned her onto the ground, cracks were shown in the crystal floor. Rainbow winced, and tried to use her wings and hooves to fly off, but Rarity somehow was far stronger than she ever was in her lifetime. She spat onto Rarity's face, making her cry in disgust as she let go of the naughty pegasus. "Rainbow Dash, if it wasn't for your nonsensical Zapp abilities. None of us would've had a hard time dealing with that monstrous villain!" Rarity hissed while using her magic to lift the saliva off her face completely. Reminding Rainbow of that time when she created a tornado instead of a lightning bolt and sucked most of her friends into it. "Oh please, I maybe awesome, but your lame power is far more overpowered than any of us." Rainbow shrugged and flew around the throne room slackingly, before Rarity pulled her hard onto the floor again, making larger cracks. Rainbow winced louder, as her wings were damaged by the force of Rarity's magic slamming her onto the floor. "HEY! Whaddya do that for?!" Rainbow yelled out to her, "Now I can't fly for freakin' WEEKS!" But Rarity didn't give either, and responded, "Hmph! That's what you get for making a lady unpleased! Now I have to straighten out those two pieces of hair on my mane..." She then wailed, and cried on the floor, "THIS IS THE. WORST. POSSIBLE. THING!" "Heh, you're right that is, but hey, at least you can straighten them out in five minutes or so while I can't do ANYTHING about my wings and have to sit around and do NOTHING until it's completely healed!" Rainbow Dash lashed out, finally getting upset herself because Rarity knew her friend well just as Rainbow with herself. Now Rainbow is "pega-less". "And instead of charging towards Mane-iac like the rest of us, you should've stayed back and captured them all already with your petty jewels!" "And instead of making blunt decisions like selling out our fortunate locations, and also charging towards Mane-iac, you should've used your artless lightning necklace to summon an actual thunderbolt!" The two argued not far from the throne table, while Twilight and Applejack were just as insane. Twilight now is firing random shots, but not so uncontrolled and towards her friend. "Applejack, what if Apple Bloom was influenced by something ridiculous like this? How would you feel, huh?!" Twilight asked. "Ah'm not stupid enough to let her darn read this then, and you're no right in the position to hurt yourself by gettin' yourself in 'tis mess!" Applejack replied angrily, not caring whether she said made sense or not, as long as she got her message out. "Oh dear, this is bad." Fluttershy crawled next to Spike, who also seemed to be scared of what's going on with their friends. "*Sigh, and it's all my fault. I shouldn't have brought this topic up and make Twilight go out of control." Spike sat on the floor and put his claws up his face. "I should've known Twilight better as her number one assistant, yet I did something I regretted asking for..." Fluttershy was about to comfort the poor little dragon, but then quickly adjusted her sight on Pinkie, who joined in the argument of both sides, hopping furiously and throwing balloons. 'Strange, I thought Pinkie shouldn't be arguing, she always cheers anypony up...' "I LIKE COOKIES! CHOCOLATE CHIP COTTON CANDY MIXED WITH HONEY WAFFLES ARE BETTER! PLASTIC TRUMPETS BEAT BON BON'S SWEET CHEW THING ANYDAY!" She furiously babbled at all her friends who were arguing. 'Or, that.' Fluttershy frowned at the pink pony and sighed. Meanwhile, Lyra was helping her bestie Sweetie Drops with her new soft candy product in a random slum looking bakery: The Sweety Chews. The quote/motto (yes it was Lyra's crazy idea) was, "You touch it! You buy it! And if you chew it! You will never live without it!". Sweetie Drops rolled her eyes everytime when she saw it, but she couldn't help but smile once it reminded her that it was her best friend who made this up. The two already had few guests trying it out, and all of them favored it, which then enlightened Sweetie Drops, who quickly began making Lyra to help her make more and start an official business. "Oh these stuffs are soo tasty! I would doubt it if anypony would actually dislike this!" Lyra confidentally said as she turned to Sweetie Drops in request for agreement, "Um, Bon Bon? You with me?" The turquoise cyan unicorn, now turned into more turquoise and cyan out of fear, once she saw Sweetie Drops's mane turn all red, and a fire surrounding her completely, burning her up. Her eyes instead of cool blue are now like the rest of her body: Lava red. The candies she was making all melted. "I heard it... That damn familiar voice..." The formerly beige coated earth pony grabbed a large kitchen knife and slammed it onto the table hard. "WHO DARES TO COMPARE PLASTIC JUNK TRUMPETS WITH MY CANDY?!" She steamed through her nose, like the buffalos in Appleloosa and the current Twilight. "B-B-Bon Bon?" Lyra's voice shrank and was unstable no longer, her hooves were trembling, her eyes are gleaming with fear, her tail was somehow spinning madly and creating a large fan that opened the bakery door, and blew ponies away whoever trespassed the range behind her, including Derpy Hooves who seems to be enjoying her time eating her muffin even when blown away. "LYRICAL HAMSTER!" Her best friend turned around and shouted at Lyra, who was shot at and can only trembling reply, "A-actually, my real name is Lyre Lyrics Heart of Hamstrings, but it was shortened to Lyra Heart-" "SHUT UP! TIME TO TASTE MY FAVORITE FLAVOR! THE SECRET RECIPE: THE BON BOMBS!" The mare threw a bunch of candies out of nowhere and towards the helpless unicorn who ducked in mercy, and from the air too. While it was evident that the Lyrical pony was done for... Well okay, she saved herself by holding all of the candies with her magic. Lyra finally gave herself some breathing space and a good time to "chew" Sweetie Drops back to her sweet self. When she lifted her head back up, she realized something, "Wait a second, Bon Bon, did you call these candies Bon "Bombs"?" The earth pony hesitated around for awhile and tried to remember, "Why yes I have, because they are HOT when they explode!" She smiled proudly, because it was her personal made product, and her favorite of course. "Oh wait... I think I know where you're getting to..." Bon Bon's face soon became scared and stood there and looking daft. "Yeah too late, ugh geez, I should've thrown these guys out the window. What a pity." Lyra closed her eyes and shrugged, still holding the candy bombs. “Well while we're talking, THROW THEM OUT!" Bon Bon became worried as hell and pushed her bestie to save their plots. "Oh, right. Okay wait, this won't be long" Lyra held the Bon Bombs and was ready to toss them out before they can do any serious- KABOOM!! ... damage... "There's no need to worry Spike!" Fluttershy picked the purple drake up and hugged him, "It was just a misunderstanding. I'm sure they will be friends again soon!" "Soon? As in, how soon? Months?! YEARS?!" Spike panicked with his claws stretched aside. "Oh it won't be that long! Soon always mean soon!" Fluttershy smiled, then turned her focus onto the rest of her friends arguing heatedly, while Rainbow Dash and Rarity were clashing even furiously than Twilight and Applejack, and of course there's Pinkie Pie arguing about random stuffs, she also grew worried. "Well, m-maybe not that soon." Rainbow Dash tried to run away from Rarity and then find a way to stop her rampaging, but Rarity located her easily with her magic. She levitated her up, choking the life out of her. Rainbow knew that psychokinesis magic was stronger than anypony no matter how strong and well built, but she still tried to break free. While doing that, she sought to insult the unicorn, "Rarity, I never knew you were a cheating daughterofahobo! Why don't you fight me hoof to hoof combat instead? You scared?" Instead of even slightly becoming convinced, it turned out to be far the opposite. Rarity held Rainbow tighter than before and responded, "Well, after your displeasing comment about my parents. I will not! An enemy never plays by the rules anyways." She shrugged and gave the pegasus this cold glare that can be seen as hostile. "Oh no! Rarity just said she's not her friend anymore!" Fluttershy cried with her hooves on her face, Spike rolled his eyes because he knew that Fluttershy isn't the right pony to break this conflict off, they need the one and only: SPIKE THE HERO! "Rarity!" Spike ran over to the unicorn and wrapped his claws around her hoof, "You gotta snap out of it! That's too far!" "And what does that do? Let Rainbow run away with her crimes of insulting a lady?!" Rarity retorted angrily. "But she's one of your best friend! Why are you taking it so far just to hurt her in return?! Friends don't do that to each other!" Spike began to cry, but not as hard as Fluttershy, it was more of a... Masculine cry? "If you don't come back, Rarity. I don't know where my heart will belong to anymore... Without the beautiful and generous you, I would rather die..." He then whispered to himself, "... than to serve Twilight as her assistant, because it's too much darn work!" Then resumed back to sadness. Rarity stopped and let go of Rainbow, who was too tired to get back up anyways. Her purple mane touched Spike's purple skin, it overlapped him. She put her left hoof onto Spike, rubbing his head. She then touched his face with her lips and her own face, Spike's heart was ready to explode. Spike was about to kiss Rarity in return, and the unicorn agreed to do so. They were so close now that Rainbow was about to vomit once she got up and only seeing this bull being performed... She threw Spike and Rainbow Dash out the castle door. The two victims groaned and sighed, not expecting something like this to happen. The fury diamond of the drake has officially been burned by the maniac fashion poser. It was all designed to be a trap. Fortunately, before Rarity can cause any more harm to the two, two earth pony Royal Guards passed by the Friendship Rainbow Castle, complimenting on how well made the structure is, and completely making the rest of Ponyville look like a dull rock farm for slaves. Rarity suddenly changed from Radiant Rager (yes the combination of Saddle Rager and Radiance) to the generous and beautiful pony that nopony actually bothered to dislike, other than Spike who's eyeballs became heart once he saw the original styled Rarity return. The Guards however were a bit concerned once they saw an injured Rainbow Dash and a helpless Spike on the soil ground near the castle door. Furthermore, they overheard the noise being produced inside the castle itself, much familiar voices... "Ms. Rarity, is everything alright inside... And outside here." One of the two Guards named Adrenaline Spear asked, his deep voice almost broke Rarity's heart because it sounded so damn lusty to her. She almost fell over but regained consciousness and resumed to answer with the best manner, "Yes your royal-ness, everything is fine, just a little... Well. Erm, something about Power Ponies we are discussing about, because it really is an, well, issue these days." "Power Ponies... Ah, I see." The other Guard named Snowy Springs, responded. He then grew excited and started dancing with his front hooves, "The next issue is going to come out soon! I can't waaaa-iiiittttt for it!! By the way, Issue #15 was my favorite." Everypony including the dragon sighed, even mature stallions who were supposed to work all day defending their country and subjects have time to read something that's way out of their character. Rainbow and Rarity looked at each other, for they realized Twilight was right about those "bronies" that don't look like their fans at all, but they are anyways, which is disgusting. "This dude..." Adrenaline pointed his light brown hoof towards Snowy Springs, who was still dancing. He spun his head in a circle, his mane flew swiftly and gracefully, which snatched Rarity in awe. She must've really admired this stallion until, "Issue #47 was way better! Featherbrain!" Rarity fell over onto Rainbow Dash and Spike. While Rainbow winced and tried to get the unicorn off, Spike rubbed his head onto Rarity's skin, it felt beautiful and refreshing, like silk with orange flavored perfume. Rarity then got back up, and unpleasingly asked Adrenaline Spear, "Really?! You read those immature, rubbish?! Too?" "Why yes your loveliness. It is an amazing fine piece classical literature if you ask me." The Guard smiled and bowed, only to be kicked in the face by both Rarity and Snowy Springs from both directions. "Hey! What did you do that for?!" He demanded from his comrade, but before he can even respond, he punched Snowy in return. "That's it! Issue #15 was far better than the trash you read! It didn't even feature any of the heroes in the spotlight!" Snowy Springs argued, jumped onto Adrenaline Spear and rolled down the road towards Sugarcube Corner. Rainbow, Rarity and Spike all took a huge gulp and slowly backed into the castle, with Rainbow Dash trying to run away from Rarity though, only to be caught by her magic. "Don't you think this is all over between the two of us, Rainbow Dash!" She grabbed her rainbow mane and plucked some hair of each color out from it. "Now I can plan my brand new fashion clothing design: The Rainbow Streak Gazzling Spazza! "Gazzling, Spazza? Those aren't even words are they? And YOU'RE USING ME FOR YOUR FASHION DESIGN?!" Rainbow raised her voice not in anger, but rather in fear because Rarity is always one of those who can outbeat her in... Well a situation like this. "Yes, indeed! Now shut up before I use your cutie mark as an art design for t shirts and pants!" Rarity threatened, and stepped her hoof onto the poor athletic pegasus, before dragging her across the hard ground with her magic. "OW! STOP! SPIKE! SOMEPONY! HELP MEEEEEEE!!!" The colorful pegasus feebly screamed before being dragged to Rarity's Botique, unready for the worst torture upcoming yet. Spike flinched in fear and decided to check on Twilight and others, while leaving Rainbow screaming to the top of her lungs when Rarity forced her to wear her least favorite dress. Meanwhile the two Guards were rolling around, hoof fighting in Sugarcube Corner. Snowy at first seemed to have gained the upper hoof as he purposely let Adrenaline go on top of him and threw him upwards. While in midair, Snowy thought Adrenaline was defend free of his rapid hoof punches, but he was proved wrong once the brown earth pony took out Snowy's favorite Issue #15 in front of him for self defence and threatened to tear it apart so that Snowy can... Well never read it again and will have to find a new copy to replace it, too much work for him already. Snowy however smirked and took out Issue #47 to counter-threat against Adrenaline's hostility, by doing the same thing that Adrenaline did so that he can take advantage of him in midair. Adrenaline instead of obeying to the silver white stallion, took his famous "Sparta Spear Thrust" downwards, hitting Snowy Springs onto the head and pinned him onto the ground, leaving a decently large pit that dragged some other innocent ponies down too. "#47 was better you idiot!" Adrenaline shot back, "#15 didn't even have a cover to begin with! Besides, their character development was horrible! The villain Anti Alicorn was about to be reformed and then she got killed off in ONE PAGE!" "Shut the hay up, foul mouth!" The two continued to fight and bite each other's Royal suit off. "BOTH OF YOU SHUT UP! BECAUSE ISSUE #50 WAS BETTER!" Twinkleshine came out of nowhere (from Canterlot for a visit on her friend Lyra actually) and held the two crazy Guards up in the air and tossed them all the way back to Canterlot somehow. Doctor Whooves stepped in and shouted, "What are you talking about?! Based on my love for science, Issue #45 is the best with the all new super duper projected gamma laser cannon fired against Saddle Rager and she still defeated it! She-" Then Derpy Hooves crashed into the time traveling stallion into the pit and disagreed, "The first is always the best! Issue #1 had muffins!" Sooner than anypony actually thought, the whole town began an uproar over which Issue was better. Roseluck and the Spa Ponies went onto the train boarding for Canterlot spread the argument onto the train, which then infected even the upper class unicorns, who unexpectingly also read the series quite intriguingly. Fancy Pants soon waged a war on those who disagreed with him that Masked Matter-Horn was actually a sex toy being hired by the Crystal Mafia for no obvious reason other than being insane. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna looked down hopelessly from their castle to their subjects, and let out a large sigh before they returned to their bed and began their own discussion on solving this matter, "Sis, this is becoming very outrageous! Is there any sort of magic spell that can just put an end to all of this?" Luna worriedly spoke, her voice louder than usual. "I may not be certain on that, Luna, but this will have to take awhile to fix." The white alicorn sighed and got off the bed, and walked around. "After all, it's just a silly little comic book that everypony is so worked up about." She then noticed out the window that a huge boulder was launched and somehow with fire magic, it turned into a meteror and exploded into flames. "Or maybe not..." "Furthermore, Sis. You felt the tremors of chaos being active in Twilight's Castle, those two Guards you sent to investigate. Where are they now? They should be returning soon." Luna grew worried as ever, for she was never used to the craziness in daylight happening all the time while at night she was enjoying a fine break with her subjects. "Oh Luna! There is nothing to be scared of, Guards are ponies too, they need some personal times or breaks to fulfill their duty." "And, and, and!" Luna gasped for air, panicking for life while Celestia only chuckled at her reaction, "What if they are in danger? You need to locate them!" Celestia can only laugh again at this situation of Luna hugging her hoof and rubbing her face against it, Celestia's stressed everyday, but still managed to handle the stress far better than any ruler in Equestria. "Oh Luna!" She repeated, "I am sure it will not be that bad! Just give them a little time and it will come to you." Once she finished that, two unidentified naked objects came crashing through the glass window: One from the window of Celestia, the other from the window of Luna. To the Princesses, it was VERY controversial and ironic, because due to the condition of the two Royal Guards (and the fact that they're lying as if they're down and exhausted), looking as if their clothes were torn by Everfree beasts or from a enormous fight, but the sisters looked at each other in awkwardness, for Snowy Springs continued his debate against his comrade, "I-issue #15..." He coughed blood and winced at his scars, "... Beats your crappy comic anyday..." "N-no you fat cheeto puffed fool..." Adrenaline Spear responded, equally as painful as Snowy, "Issue #47 rocks hooves down..." "What happened to you two?" Celestia walked towards the idiotic Guards who were caught off by a children's franchise, "Why are you two so scarre-" Before she can finish her question, Luna already teleported in front of their faces, illunimating herself into Nightmare Moon's face, striking blue fear into even the two strong stallions deep down in their treasury hearts. She levitated them up in the air and glared into their poor, tortured eyes and whispered furiously enough to make the Royal Guards need guards to guard them, "We better not hear thy childish behaviors ever again! Thy duty is to make sure everything is going along planned!" More like everything is making Celestia feel humiliated because this situation is forcing others to see her as a dictator rather than a democratic Princess. The Guards nodded in absolute obligation, tears are trickling down their faces. "If it wasn't for Celestia who doth this, we would've sent thou to the UNDERWORLD by throwing thou out! Thou HEAR US?!" She hadn't used the Royal Canterlot voice since 84 episodes ago. The Guards were pretty damn scared at least. They nodded again in fear, and behaved like loyal dogs who were kicked everday simply because they were furry. "Good, we shall not punish thou." Luna resumed her normal voice and turned her head back to the white Princess, "Anways Sister," Her mind was not enough to manage two tasks at once, so she threw her magic away and let her mouth do the work. Celestia noticed that Adrenaline and Snowy were no longer there, and were thrown out by Luna anyways into the air outside their castle, only to be hit by another meteror. She shook her head and let out a quiet sigh, her little sister can be so innocent sometimes. "Yes Luna? This problem has been very sticky ever since chaos erupted from that train from Ponyville, I'm afraid that this might take awhile." "Umm, no? Cadance can use her Amor power thing to stop the ruckus, you know, that heart like thing when she casts it out, and then it makes multiples of her targets love each other again." "Oh... Right..." Celestia facehoofed herself hard, so she summoned a case of lotion cream and wiped her face all over. "Why didn't I think of that...?" "Well I'm going to send her a message okay?" Luna then closed her eyes, let her horn glow the blue blazing sparks. The horn glazed and shivered the atmosphere, even making Celestia a little blue and sweating cold. The horn emitted a small spherical signal and disappeared without a trace once everything became white, nothing to be seen for few seconds and the light faded, finally returning everything to normal. Luna stood there and felt peaceful as if she just took a bath and put Dove that tingered her all over like Mane-iac when she was struck by her own doomsday device. It was a beautiful accomplishment, and the first one ever done by the Princess of the Moon in daylight. "Luna, you know you could have just pressed that emergency button over there and it will send out an alarm to all of Equestria." Celestia pointed her hoof towards that giant red button on the wall between the window of Starswirl the Bearded and the window of Tom and Jerry. On it it says: "Emergency button, used when there's an emergency." "Wait, when was that even made?" Luna asked surpisingly. "Well, actually. While you were gone, I actually planned of making this emergency button to alert all of Equestria so that whenever there's a danger or threat, everypony will know... And it was finally completed yesterday, after four-hundred seventy years..." Luna now teleported in front of her sister's face, growling and ready to burst out with magical fireworks. She then teleported all over the castle, scaring other Royal Guards into running into forbidden places. She ran across the outskirts of the castle ten times, surprising her Celestia that her younger sister can be so energetic and athletic. She fired a gigantic lunar beam that froze everypony that's fighting over Power Ponies, shocking the rainbow maned alicorn evern more. Luna teleported back to the the castle, huffing and puffing, grumbling quietly to herself, and sat down exhaustingly. Celestia looked outside, and still can't get over the part that Luna actually was a cold hearted Nightmare that had a soul with nothing but silence. "Excuse me sir, but I never thought of that." She then turned back to Luna, and walked towards her. She slipped on the smooth oil painted floor, and was down with Luna, she groaned loud enough for anypony to hear for the first time ever. "I really should fire whoever chose oil to replenish the castle floor... Right, it was Coal Gate." The princess mumbled, then asked her sister as she struggled to get back up, "Anyways Luna, how did you manage to freeze them? I never seen you do something that impressive with your magic before." Luna suddenly felt motivated enough to get up, and arrogantly brushed off the dust and sweat on herself, she swung her hoof in the air as if she was a role model being snapped by cameras everywhere. Instead she was returned by this awkward glance from her sister, who seemed unimpressed and almost disturbed by Luna's actions. The deep blue alicorn coughed and replied proudly, "Well yes, this was also my case of emergency when something big comes up. This spell will keep anything still for as long as I want them to be!" "DUN-DUN-DUN DUN DUN! Cadance is here! Your wish is upon Mi Amore!" A smaller, pink but colorful alicorn gracefully skipped in and twirled once and already collapsed onto the floor. Now both Celestia and Luna are staring at their niece, frowning and rolled their eyes. "Okay okay, I'm sorry!" Cadence got up to her hooves uneasily, and only to slip again. "Just trying to get my friendly dance move on the spot... You spelled my name wrong, whoever is attempting to narrate us. It's Cadance with an 'a'! Not 'e'." Fine fine, I'm sorry. "Yes, I know. The floor this time is oily, I don't understand why didn't Coal Gate ask for the original painting instead of this..." Celestia dropped her head. "Cadance!" Luna trotted over to the younger princess and picked her up, put her right hoof behind her and pointed her left hoof outside the window, "Are you impressed by my new freezing spell that made Canterlot a divine piece of art?" "Umm, what spell? All I see right now are ponies fighting over about Power Ponies or something like that when you first sent a message to me." Luna opened her eyes wide, she ran towards the window. The conflict resumed normally, everypony were still bickering, hoof fighting and throwing meterors at each other. She slowly turned back, only to be met with another stare by Celestia, who raised her left eyebrow. "I thought you said it's as long as you wanted it to be, that wasn't even ten seconds..." "Well, I-" Luna stuttered, and switched topics, "W-well anyways! Cadance is here! She knows how to handle the issue!" She pulled the Princess of Love next to her, baring her teeth smiling. Both Celestia and Cadance sighed and shook their heads. "Oh well, here goes!" Cadance bent her head down and concentrated on her horn. Pink sparks began emitting out but it's not enough to call it off. Then, a giant red heart began forming out as it grew and grew. It finally stopped, and much to Celestia and Luna's surprise, their jaws dropped and did not breathe a single breath. The giant heart was large enough to cover the a third of Canterlot itself. Cadance levitated the heart outside of the castle, slowly as it goes, it landed perfectly onto the crowd that's fighting the most. Everypony stopped and looked up, wondering what the heck that giant red thing actually is. Soon, the heart burst and splattered into millions of tiny hearts that's the size of an average pony's heart. Each of the hearts flew into each of the ponies, and within seconds, all of the ponies stopped what they're doing, and dropped their weapons, that includes the last meteror just being launched by Derpy because she was in the middle of doing so. "Wow, what was I thinking?" Fancy Pants looked down and put flinched back when he saw a club right in front of him, he thought he was the one who used it to beat little fillies and his friends. Others noticed the weapons and the injuries on other ponies' faces, and soon felt guilty as well. "Gee, I guess I'm sorry for my ruthlessness, it's just a comic book after all!" Lemon Hearts apologized, while not aware that she was still holding a stallion with her magic, she accidentally threw him away out of Canterlot and into the wild mountains. "I'm sorry." "Yea, I'm sorry too." "Sorry!" The ponies apologized to one another and helped each other out, rebuilding the city by afternoon. The sun shined on the three Princesses, who were looking at the holy object without blinking at all, they finally sat down and caught their breath, finally solving the issue even though the sisters didn't even do much about it. "Wait hold on, what about Ponyville?" Luna panicked again, only to be stopped by Cadance as she put her right hoof softly onto Luna's chest. "Don't worry, my magical heart created enough hearts to go to Ponyville as well. I was aware that it was Ponyville that can start this ruckus." She then turned around and frowned, "And it just had to be Twilight..." Celestia then raised her white body up, she walked over to Cadence, and kissed her forehead. "You have done well, my niece. If it weren't for you, nopony would've solved this issue." "Thank you aunty!" The pink alicorn hugged Celestia, who can only chuckle and smile, "It was my duty and honor to stand by you!" "And now, you may return to Crystal Empire as you wish. My Guards will escort you out to the train station." "Wait, you took your sweet time on the train while you could've just teleported here?" Luna interrupted and stared into Cadance, who facehoofed herself just like her aunt. "Right, I forgot. Now Shining's gonna kill me for using those bits on these expensive train tickets!" "That's okay, you can still teleport back home. Just tell him that you bought something for me because we haven't seen each other for so long." Celestia adviced. "Sure! But before I can leave..." Cadance suddenly got this sinister smile which intimidated Celestia and Luna was on full guard, ready to spring into action anytime. "Can I get a chocolate pretzel please? I never had one since we met for the first time!" She pleaded on the ground, almost crying for those cheap desserts that one can by in a run down bakery by the corner. Celestia frowned and sighed, "Fine, but we're running out of them because of you." Celestia remembered that she forgot to buy those chocolate pretzels for years since she met Cadance. She nevertheless pulled a chocalate pretzel over and Cadance suddenly leaped like a harbor seal and caught the fish while it was still in the air. Celestia rolled her eyes and turner her head away to prevent herself witnessing how her niece munches on the pretzel on the floor. "Om-nom-nom-nom-nom! Mmm! This is delicious!" Cadance finished her meal without cleaning her mouth, because she wants to leave the delicious crumbs there for her to smell and taste one at a time. "Okay! I'm done! Adios!" POOF went the Princess of Love. Luna furiously leapt onto her sister, and demanded for more chocolate pretzels, but Celestia can only tell her the truth that Cadance ate the last one. Enraged and hungry, Luna set off a long time quest in search of the seven Chocolate Pretzels. By taking the train that is to Crystal Empire so that she can get revenge on Cadence first. "Why didn't she just teleport...?" Celestia shook her head and walked back to her bed.
Post Crisis: The AftermathAt Ponyville, it was just as Cadance had said: Everything returned to normal, nopony were fighting any longer over Power Ponies, except for Pipsqueak and Noteworthy because they originally were arguing about it anyways way before. Shortly after Cadence's gigantic heart spell thing, once the two were reminded that the whole town were arguing about the Power Ponies, they went back to bickering. At the FR castle, things have calmed down as well, with the friends apologizing to each other about how much they are getting heated up about a simple comic book. "I'm terribly sorry for getting upset with my friends, and especially you Applejack, you meant well trying to stop me from going overboard." Twilight smiled at her and hugged her all over until the orange earth pony can breath no more. "Y-ya welcome Ah guess, but there ain't need to choke the heck out of me!" She firmly resisted to Twilight's vicious friendship hug, and pushed her backwards. "D-do I have to apologize too? I'm sooo confused, please forgive me!" Fluttershy ducked and as she asked Twilight a request for a freakin' apology. "Fluttershy, don't be scared, we're all good now! In fact you're the only pony here who wasn't arguing, which was a pretty good job of you for self control!" Twilight then thought of more to say, and then it hit her, "But since you didn't do anything to break us from arguing, so technically speaking you should apologize." The Fluttershy's eyes grew with sadness and was forced to apologize, geez that was stupid of her to even ask. "I'd say, that was the most I can ever get from you Rainbow! It was quite fascinating!" Rarity walked back into the castle, along with Rainbow Dash with Rarity's new brand called the Gazzling Spazza, which was not the least favorite dress Rainbow wore previously in punishment, because the Gazzling Spazza can only be made from Rainbow's hair. The pegasus now trotted in elegantly, showing off her own material literally, and leapt in the air then did a figure eight, gliding onto the center of the table, then her dress shined with rainbow glitters, her wings shot out from her side and emitted light. The thought of having her as a model actually impressed everypony, Rarity's idea was brilliant when other ponies can only drool at Rainbow's beauty, until, "HELL YEA! I'M WAY TOO AWESOME! Nopony is sexier than me!" She shot up and spun and dived straight down back to the floor. Everypony else shook their heads and rolled their eyes, Rainbow just had to kill the moment. "Ooh! Ooh! Twilight! Twilight! Do I have to apologize? Because if I don't apologize then I'm afraid you guys will suspect me as a horrible friend, then I would be abandoned, then I would be lonely, speaking of that, Gummy is always lonely when I'm not around, despite he's right there in my mane." Her green alligator popped out, stuck out his tongue and bit onto Pinkie's mane. "See? Then the thing is if I apologize at the wrong time, which is possibly right now, you guys might suspect me as crazy and still ditch me from the position of your friend, I must act quick now, now and now and now and NOW! Twilight should I apolog-" "WELL, since you did nothing to help us and blurted out random stuffs just to join in the argument. I strongly recommend you to apologize..." Twilight was about to go all out, the fuse in her horn is about to fade and create a new sort of Sparkle. "And if you don't freakin' be quiet now, I will seriously kill you and take you off my friends list." She hovered a blank sheet of paper over and pretended to uncheck Pinkie off her made up Friends That I Will Never Unfriend list. Pinkie Pie jumped up in shock, and quickly knelt down and banged her head on the floor rapidly, "I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry!" Pinkie's tears were going out, and they flooded the area around them. Twilight rolled her eyes but smiled, "Good, and now, who else needs to apologize?!" Twilight glared towards the animals, then at Fluttershy who apologized already. They all shrieked and fled out of the castle. "Well that does it..." "Twi', why are you demanding us to apologize again?" Applejack walked over to her side and turned to her face. "Because, so we can avoid something like this again and not have to cause chaos all over the castle." The Princess of Friendship responded abnormally. Or Ponyville and Canterlot in this case... Applejack gulped and found an excuse to leave the castle, "Ah, uhhh, have some zap harvest to do-" "Today's not even the day. How come you never brought it up before that zap apples are under process?" Twilight leaned towards the orange mare as she tried to back away towards the castle door. "W-well, Ah forgot to tell y'all! It's just that Ah w-was being busy these days and never got the chance!" Applejack never lied, but to Twilight, it seems suspicious because she is stuttering and fumbling her words nervously, with sweat flooding her face. To the rest of her friends, Applejack is telling the truth, but her truth is just too doubtful to believe, plus the Princess is now glaring at her, ready to attack and threaten the life out of her. So she had no choice but to wave a quick goodbye and trip out the door. Then she got back up and ran back to Sweet Apple Acres as quick as possible. "Twilight, darling! I'm awfully sorry that we ruined your birthday party today! I never expected this would happen." Rarity walked over to the lavender alicorn and put her left hoof onto Twilight's cheek. Rarity was not afraid or embarrassed to apologize because she's always ready to take responsibility no matter how tender the situation was or how little of her fault it was. "Unlike that Applejack who just will not consider her friendship and is stubborn like a mule!" She hissed under her breath, but was heard by a mule outside who stormed in. It was Cranky Doodle. "WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY YOU FOUL MOUTH PONY?!" The gray donkey bawled, his forehead is lava red and his pores are fuming. Pinkie Pie noticed her friend and jumped over to greet him, "Hey Cranky! What is up! What made you com-" "Not now Pinkie!" Cranky retorted and somehow threw the incoming bouncing mare out of the castle, leaving the other three ponies remaining speechless. "Cranky! Do you want to take a look at my new fashion design called the Gazzling Spazza? I'm certain it will amuse you!" The fashionista mare levitated Rainbow Dash in front of Cranky. The gray donkey gawked at the beautiful and awesome dress wore onto Rainbow. The scales are glittering and shimmering with innumerable colors that acted as if a bright colored portal is ready to suck the pleased donkey in. The diverted lines and streaks are alined perpendicularly as it created multiples of mini and vivid images that no mind can come up with. Buttons and collars are also rainbow painted and will impress anypony (donkey in this case) when they even come close of touching it. "My Matilda! That is marvelous!" Cranky's eyes shined and mouth opened wide, "Excuse my rudeness earlier before, Miss Rarity, I want to know where and how did you even come up with this masterpiece?" He began escorting the unicorn out of the castle, while she pulled Rainbow Dash in the air with her magic, who crossed her hooves and frowned. Twilight finally felt the need to fall onto the ground and relax, tired and exhausted with all the pointless arguing with her friends (or Applejack). She thought she can give herself some private time to think over her mistakes and how she can fix it until some dragon returned. "Twilight, I'm sorry for starting all this ruckus, I should've known better than being a empty headed assistant and unaware of who you are. If I only didn't bring this Power Ponies thing up to you, you wouldn't have to go through all this chaos." Spike stood next to his best friend, head hung low, claws lifelessly aside his torso. His eyes aren't watery but he was ready to break down and ruin himself, he wanted to take full responsibility on this incident. Twilight however stood up and nuzzled him, "Oh Spike! It wasn't your fault, it was nopony's fault! None would have thought this would turn out to be a skirmish between the six of us." She then switched tone, "But Spike, I think there is a lesson you have learned after all this, and it's really important that you have made yourself experiencing it." "What is it?" The purple drake looked up to the alicorn as she responded, "Don't take everything so seriously at heart, even if it does seem like it's your responsibility. You have to make things easier for you even if it's overwhelming and stressful. Similar to my amount of paperwork ever since I became a princess, it's long, monotonous, ticking, pressuring. I even had to go into Big Mac's brain to learn a thing or two from him about handling stress." Spike stood there dumbfoundedly for a short while, and finally jumped onto Twilight, hugging her hoof five inches off the ground. Twilight giggled and shook her head, and hugged her number one assistant back. "Twilight! Thank you for reminding me of today's moral, I will take it to heart!" Spike vowed and put his left claw onto his chest while standing straight and head high. "See? That's my number one assistant I'm proud of-" "OH COME ON! You completely misunderstood the point of today's lesson!" A yellow claw of an eagle appeared out of the blue and snapped out a bat then whacked Twilight on the head with the same bat on a larger lion paw. Soon pieces of bat wing and pegasus wing combined on a long and wavy gray body, which finally formed a horse head. Antlers of a deer and a goat came running across the crystal floor and hopped onto the horse head. Goat and lizard leg grew out at the bottom of the body. Finally came the un-matching eyeballs and bushy eyebrows (they're better than Bush anyways), then a goat beard was brushed out, and finally a snake tongue hissed out of the creature's mouth. "DISCORD?!" Twilight yelled furiously at the draconequus, annoyed everytime he comes to ruin her momentum, "What in Equestria are you talking about?" "Well I was waiting for the right time to, you know: Pound the alarm when you and your little scaly friend to learn the lesson of today's problematic... Problem you know." Discord teleported behind Spike and summoned a pair of scissors to cut the green scales on the dragon, Spike pushed him back and angrily glared at him, the draconequus shrugged as if nothing had happened. He teleported back to Twilight and shook his index claw. "Tst tst tst! But no, you have failed my test Twilight. You did not know what to do under this circumstance I created, and it was your sister-in-law who managed to cease all this disharmony in Ponyville and Canterlot." "Wait WHAT?! YOU WERE THE ONE WHO STARTED ALL THIS?!" Twilight flew up and nose to nose pointed with the former ruler of Equestria, who only teleported the Princess of Friendship back to her original spot. "Well, can't say that this argument between you and Applejack would've happened by normal condition, so I decided to make things a little bit more, interesting. Plus, like I stated before, I did this so that you and Spike can learn the lesson." “What was the lesson then?" Twilight and Spike asked at the same time, not realizing that they did. "Well, consider this: Issue #69 was a complicated issue, so it just had to apply to this dire situation-" "Ohhhh! I get it now! Issue #69 is complicated! Ha- No not funny at all, spill the beans already!" Twilight interrupted hastingly. "Now now, lets keep a level head and continue with my lecturing analysis. While you got yourself into an argument that should've never been an argument, you failed to recognize that." Twilight's pupils shrank, and she fell over like a stone. Then Discord flew around Spike and pointed his claw at him, "And as for you, my little Spikey friend: Your problem isn't being stressed and overwhelmed like what Twilight had said earlier, but you have done nothing to take responsibility of your believed guilt." "What do you mean by that?" Spike looked up and followed his sight on the floating Discord surrounding him. "While the Six were recklessly arguing... except for my Fluttershy! She's wonderful!" He almost let out a squeak, but nevertheless controlled himself and continued, "You were sitting there watching the consequence go by and blaming yourself for starting all this. Instead, you could've just went to stop the whole bickering by reminding them what was the whole purpose of arguing over this anyways? Although Fluttershy first of all I don't blame her for her personality for situations like that, but it was mostly because it wasn't her responsibility at all. She was not feeling guilty as much as you were." "Wow, so it wasn't what Twilight had said, it was because I was not responsible enough to clean my own mess!" DING DING DING! Discord ringed a bell and then made his head fall onto the floor into pieces, the rest of his body snapped a broom and a portal. He swept the pieces of his head into the portal and it was remade into his original head back onto his body. "Exactly correct! You have passed my test!" Discord clapped and summoned balloons and a Discord bobblehead to give to Spike in reward. "And as for you, Twilight. You should've known better as the Princess of Friendship to recognize your own weaknesses at hoof." He teleported near Twilight and bent his head near her. "You always get yourself in messes over minor details that don't even matter, and in the end, not only have you tangled yourself all over, but you accomplished nothing!" Discord shook his index claw again shaking his head at the same time, then followed by Spike who did the same exact thing. "Ugh! Fine!" Twilight got back up and started pushing Discord out of her castle. "Thank you Discord okay?! For teaching me about my personal problems and not minding your own business!" Before the draconequus can say anything in response, she slammed the castle door hard. "Wow! So this is why Applejack didn't put the Daring Do autobiography into her present box, because of this!" He took out Power Ponies: Issue #69 Part Two, Twilight smiled at the fact that Applejack was thoughtful of Spike too for he never had his own birthday party before. Unfortunately, it wasn't what everyone had expected. "ARE YOU KIDDING MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE?!!!!!!!!!!!!!" "You know what Mane-iac? I'm done with doing you." Marevelous unwrapped her lasso and stood up, "This is getting really awkward." The two ponies by now have rolled all the way to Uptown in 215 street, by the river that divides Manehattan and The Broncos. The water is shimmering and the sun is up. Wait, how long have they been doing this? "What?! No come on! I want more!" Mane-iac childishly waggled and begged, "The fun's just getting started!" "No it's not, in fact, it's ending right now." The red suited heroine pulled Mane-iac up and walked away. "Wait, aren't you going to arrest me?" Mane-iac bewilderedly asked, not knowing what the hell is going on with the heroine's dirty mind. "I've had enough fun with you." Marevelous epicly turned back to Mane-iac, her former playmate, before turning back to her front and trotting stylishly and tripping over a stone. The sun now showed it's all as it hovered above the horizon and the trees in Van Coltland park, the dusk has officially slipped away into the nebulous, stars went back to sleep. Mane-iac smiled at her former partner, who has given her a time of soothing leisure, and went back snickering evily with her next plan to conquer the world. "Oh. Why didn't I just arrest her...?" Marevelous got back up and noticed that the villain was nowhere in sight, she facehoofed herself and shrugged, all she got to do was call her friends and stop Mane-iac once again and arresting her for good... Right? Stay tuned for Power Ponies Issue #70! "I told you to get the latest copy of Issue #69 but you weren't even listening to me!" A unicorn slammed his thick and hard hoof down on the conference crystal table, almost cracking it. "Sir Armor! I'm sorry, and I don't like it either! But this is the full issue!" Tea Cup leaned back and extended his two hooves out to confirm his innocence. "You know what? Fine! I'm just going to read it and see!" "Thank you for your thoughtful consideration, kind Sir, if you have anymore issues plea-" "What did you just SAY?!" Shining Armor is now officially stomping onto the table, his eyeballs completely bloody red. He launched himself towards Tea Cup's face, the brown bearded and mustached face was not even two centimeters away from the angry white stallion on the verge to murder someone. "You want. TO TAKE ALL OF MY FREAKIN' POWER PONIES ISSUE COLLECTION AWAY FROM ME?! AFTER I YEARS AND YEARS OF WORKING MY PLOT OFF TO GET THESE! YOU WANT TO TAKE THEM AWAY?!" "N-no, kind Sir! Please forgive my choice of wording! I didn't mean to-" "TAKE HIM OUT! FIRE HIM! STRIP HIM OF HIS CONSUL TITLE!" Shining Armor commanded furiously as turned his back against Tea Cup, who is now reaching his left hoof to beg for help and mercy, "And literally too." Shining Armor rubbed his hooves back and forth while smiling freakishly. His Guards sighed took the poor coffee brown stallion out of the court house and stripped his badge, his title and his honor completely. Sigh... his clothes, his (wig) mane and tail, until he's completely naked. "N-NO! Please! You can't possibly have done this! SHINING ARMORRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!" Resisted heavily to his former consul's cries, Shining Armor began reading Issue #69 and skimming over it. Until his wife stepped into the court house to check on him, who was in shock not because he is reading Power Ponies, but why he is standing on the middle of the court table. "Honey," She sighed, "What are you so up about? I can hear you from the train station." "Oh nothing, just that somepony is 'condemned' for their disloyalty of their country." Shining Armor responded without even taking a look at Cadence, who rolled her eyes and asked another question, "Are you for Equestria's sake serious? That's like the 69th time you fired a pony NOT for your country, but for your own whim! And why are they all consuls too?" "Oh I did? Well that's their problem for ticking me off everytime when I get a new issue of the Power Ponies." "Why are you even so into this anyways? You're becoming overly obsessed." She hated to say it, so she grumbled it out, "like Twilight..." "Really? My sister reads them too?" Shining now is jumping up and down like a dog who has been wandering on the streets for days looking for food, to Cadence he sometimes is. "Well, not really, but that was why I was called over by Aunt Celestia and Luna to solve a predicament because everypony somehow were all arguing about it nonstop and even waging wars on each other." Before Shining Armor can respond, a shadowy figure produced magic and blasted some Royal Guards into the court house. She trotted in slowly through the dust and smoke, but the steam produced by her nose was more visible than any. Cadence saw this figure to be familiar, and she told her husband to back off, for this is personal. "Cadence!" The Princess of the Moon shouted towards the Princess of Love, who was also ready for a fight, for it's at the threat of her subjects and her lover. "Oh hey Luna! We were just talking about yo-" And he was slapped hardly on the face by Cadence, "Ow! What the heck did you do that for?!" He then noticed Cadence's threatening glare of this-is-a-thing-between-mares-so-stay-out-of-it-before-anything-happens-to-you-next. Shining Armor gulped and backed off cowardly, some captain of the Royal Guard was he. "Luna! I don't know why you are here but if you want to deal with my empire! You will have to go through me first!" Then, she furiously charged towards the Princess of the Night with full might. Same with Luna, as she opened her wings wide to ram into Cadence with full speed. The two belligerents had no time to produce quick magic, but Luna was a step ahead as she quietly charged her Nightmare Dusk spell, while Cadence is also charging hers, only a little later than Luna. The two were so close to each other before hitting the climax until Luna shouted out, "You ate the LAST CHOCOLATE PRETZEL SISTER HAD! And you shall PAY FOR IT!" Cadence suddenly stopped and changed her direction to the left a little bit as she tried to comprehend to what her aunt-in-law was saying. She began laughing out to her loudest, Luna couldn't stop her hooves once she crashed into Shining Armor (who was told to stay out of the way, but unfortunately he went to get another issue of the Power Ponies and was met with Luna). "HAHAHAHAHA! Luna! I never knew you can be so adorable sometimes! You remind me of Twilight when she was only a filly! So playful and immature!" Luna threw Shining Armor to the side, and shook off the dust and crystal glitter off her, surprised and enraged by what she had said. "What did you just say?! How dare thou insult-" "Here you go!" The pink alicorn threw the other half of the chocolate pretzel she didn't eat and fetched it to Luna, who opened her mouth and tasted it. "Om-nom-nom-nom-nom-nom! Mmm! That was delicious! Thank you!" Luna flew down to nuzzle her sister's niece, but then realized that she was still charging her spell. She panicked and fled around the room, "Oh no! What should I do?! What am I supposed to do?!" "Umm, can't you just stop charging it?!" Cadence awkwardly suggested. "What? C-cancel it?! I-I forgot how to!" "Oh you got to be kidding me!" Cadence facehoofed her face harder than before, but then she thought of a bizarre idea herself. "Hey I know! Since I'm also midst of charging a spell, why don't you fire it towards mine and logic will cancel each other out right?" "Woah woah woah! Since when does that even work?!" Shining Armor strongly protested, "Why can't Luna just fire it outside-" "I'd say that is an EXCELLENT IDEA!" Luna's eyes lit up like a bulb, Shining Armor sighed and rolled his eyes for being interrupted with such foalishness. "Okay then! Here goes!" Cadence then focused her speed on charging her spell, Luna did the same. Then, the two princesses now each obtain one hell of a giant spherical glowing ball that can just hurt ponies by blinding them permanently. "No no no, girls! I don't suppose this is much of a good idea..." Shining Armor suggested timidly before the two alicorns fired their blasts at each other. Oh whatever, too late anyways. Meanwhile, Adrenaline Spear and Snowy Springs looked vacantly towards the unknown green hill they are on, there were nothing but grassy hills and clear skies and grassy hills and clear skies and grassy hills... "Oh shut up! It's nothing but these two!" Adrenaline Spear snapped, sick of the fact that they are stuck here and have no clue which way to go. “Hey, at least this place is beautiful!" Snowy disagreed, running around the hills, constantly tripping over and sliding down on them, "I would just live here!" "Well yeah, ever since that random meteor blasted us all the way to here somehow. It does look nice, but how in Equestria are we going to find food and seek shelter? It's all open land here!" Adrenaline then looked back to when a meteor popping out of nowhere after Luna accidentally threw them out the window, and with full might just wiped him and Snowy off the map. "Right... That is a big problem at hoof right now." Snowy stopped and rubbed his white hooves onto his chin for awhile, thinking of a plan for survival while Adrenaline looks up into the blue skies for an answer, he spotted a flying pony like creature coming their way. "Umm, hey Snowy. Do you think that's also another pony unfortunately thrown away by chance, like literally?" He pointed his hoof towards the unknown pony, who appears to be a stallion as it closes in onto the two Guards. Snowy wasn't even half as scared when he noticed the stallion flying towards their direction. "Don't know, it seems to be-" CRASH! The golden earth pony got back onto his hooves, didn't realize that he was standing on the two soldiers, almost crushed their bones as he walked off them and into the embracing grass and the endless hills onwards. But then he sighed and asked himself, "Why did I tell Lemon Hearts that I prefer reading Issue #69 than doing it with her...?"
