As the sun was rising over the island and hitting the mansion, the number three of Echo Squadron and brawler, Ter awoke from his slumber, took a shower and went to the rec room in order to get a few punches in so he could be fully awake for the events of today. The boxer has been the toughest brawler in the squadron, so that wasn’t surprising. He could plow through an entire army of Evilikin soldiers during the Traptanium War without breaking a sweat. But as combat was essential, his skills in his F6E displayed his skills of getting up close and personal before destroying the target due to the White Shark's shotgun which was an odd weapon for a fighter to have. His skills relied on power and closeness, even when he burrows through the ground. As much as it was in combat, he also cares for the other members of the team and will do everything he could to protect them like they would do for him.

He knew that Spike had a rough night since he checked on him and saw him face down on his pillow. He went over to the Road Avenger and saw Dro and Spitfire passed out inside the scout car before he went into the rec room. As he threw those punches at the punching bags, he felt his supercharger powers building up, but didn’t want to build it up any further so he focused on one punching bag and not the whole lot of them. He didn’t want to try anything too extreme since all he’s been doing was throwing punches at these punching bags...and had surprise sex with AJ two days ago.

The brawler stopped as he placed a towel over his neck as he sat on the bench, “Punching bags are well and cool...but I need an opponent that could fight back. A sparring session would be nice, but I doubt that what’s going on today wouldn’t land me a sparring partner.”

The brawler sighed as he left the rec room and went into the dining room, hoping that the others were up and eating breakfast. But for some bizarre reason, the only person he saw in the room...was Rarity. She was wearing a pink bathrobe and pink slippers as she sat at the table with her back turned. Ter immediately hid as he leaned out from his hiding place.

“What’s Rarity doing up so early? This usually isn’t like her to wake up early ahead of the others unless it involved Spike.”

He heard Rarity mumble to herself as he couldn’t pick out what she was saying. But he did hear along the words of ‘punishing Spike for unfaithfulness’ This caused the brawler to raise an eyebrow since Spike was faithful to Rarity and would do anything for her, even if it meant risking his life. But Rarity’s methods when she and Spike made love when he did something bad, are something out of a bondage scene. Ter realized,

“He must’ve done something bad…”

He heard the sound of Rarity getting up and walking into another room as he leaned out and saw something sitting on the table as he moved out of his hiding place. He approached the table and saw a newspaper on it. He sat down and read the paper as his eyes widen when he saw the main headline,

“Diamond Resort Attacked by Unknown Crystalline Creatures. Later repelled by a strange hero known as Megaman.”

Ter’s usual stoic fighting mood soon turned to shock as he saw the pictures of Spike as Megaman being hugged and kissed by Lemon Zest. The Crystal Prep girl’s close distance to Spike caused a state of fright in the brawler’s eyes. As he could tell by Spike’s frightened eyes that he wasn’t enjoying this...not one bit. Ter shook his head,

“Spike...your heroics have now gotten you in trouble with Rarity.” He left the dining room with the paper in hand and decided to find a place to hide it. He stopped in front of the calendar as he recalled that the Mane 6 and Echo Squadron improvised on what to do on that day...but also who does chores as well. Ter looked at the calendar and realized as all of his fear of what Spike got himself into got shelved and was replaced with excitement,

“All right! Barbecue Night! My favorite type of dinner!” He soon looked back at the calendar and looked underneath ‘Barbecue Night’ as his excitement turned to shock. It was Ter’s turn to do chores around the mansion meaning that he would have to stay behind while the others have fun.

“Wakey wakey, Spike.” Spike jolted awake in shock as he saw Drago in his vision. He was freaked out that he fell out of bed and landed on his head as the spirit laughed. Spike, realizing that his visor was over his eyes asked the laughing spirit,

“What was that for?!”

Drago chuckled, “Your friend, Rainbow Dash seems to call it a ‘Wake-Up Prank.’ Now I see why it’s effective.”

Spike grumbled, “Remind me to place a roller-skate outside of her door.”

Drago replied, "Eager to get her back for me taking a bit of inspiration from her? You should know better than that." He reminded, "You better get dressed, kid. You and the others are planning to go to Sunny Days City and more importantly - you're date with Rarity at the Crowne Premium Outlets.”

Spike nodded, “How could I forget about that, Drago? I'm not going to pass that up especially since I get to spend time with Rarity, and this time I’m staying as myself for the time being. After that little debacle last night, I at least need a break from all this hero stuff.” He realized, “That’s the reason we came to this island in the first place!” He walked towards his private bathroom as he began to ask,

“Why can’t our enemies take a vacation from trying to take over everything?”

Drago replied, “Keep in mind, Spike. Our enemies are relentless, they don’t think like we do.”

Spike nodded, “Yeah, I get it, Drago. That battle last night has really got me into a whole mess of trouble.”

“Spiiike!” shouted a new voice as he spoke, “Hold on, Twilight. I’ll be down in a minute!”

Twilight shouted, “You can’t keep your friends waiting for long, Spike! Ter has already prepared breakfast!”

Spike knew that now was the time to get ready. He quickly showered, grabbed his green tank-top, purple pants and sneakers as he also grabbed the gauntlet as well. He was in such a hurry to get down to the dining room that he jumped from the railing as his dragon wings materialized to slow his landing. After landing, his wings vanished as he went into the dining room where the others were waiting. When Spike got there, he saw most of his friends eating breakfast as they noticed him. Rainbow asked,

“How’s your night, Spike?”

Spike sat down between Legend and Rarity as he replied, “You have no idea...what night I just had.”

Twilight spoke, “I heard that there was an attack at the Diamond Resort, last night.” Spike nodded, “Yeah, there was. I was there when those things attacked. But I managed to stop it before any further damage was caused to the resort.”

Drago spoke from the gauntlet, “With every new wave road, trouble always seems to emerge.”

Spike knew what the spirit was saying, “Trouble always comes in the form of those Dark Traptanium monsters.” He sighed, “Even on vacation, they never seem to leave me alone.”

Spike soon felt a hand touch his left shoulder as he saw Rarity smiling at him as she comforted him, “You know, darling. You can’t fight them alone…” She gestured to the others that sat at the table, “You have friends that could help you in these battles. And there is no way, I’m letting my Spikey-Wikey fight these battles alone.”

“There’s her nickname for me. Even after I turned human, ‘Spikey-Wikey’ has always stuck to me like glue. I never get tired of her calling me by that name when she coos at me in a loving motion.” ,thought Spike.

Ter spoke, “Rare’s right, Spike. You can’t just go roughing up these bozos on your own.”

Camo added, “We’re a team, Spike. And with teamwork comes unity.”

Dro spoke, “Unity shows that as one...we will not be broken in battle.”

Sonata spoke, “We may not do what you do, but we can still supercharge.”

Applejack noticed, “The others have yer back, Spike...and so will ah.”

Rainbow added, “If you need a hand with those things, just holler and we’ll be at your side!”

Pinkie spoke, “We’ll show those crystal meanies not to ruin our vacation!”

Fluttershy didn’t respond as she only smiled at what they’re saying as Twilight said, “No matter what happens, we will stick together - no matter what.”

Spike nodded as he said, “Thanks guys.”

After breakfast, the members of the group were planning out their day. Spike went with Rarity to the outlet village to go shopping. Legend and Rainbow were going to Sunny Beach for a little friendly competition on who’s the better surfer. Twilight, Sonata and AJ were going to hang out at Sunny Beach as well. LT and Pinkie were going to get ice cream after they went to the beach. Dro was taking Spitfire for a daytime flight over the island in the gyrocopter. Camo was taking Fluttershy to the natural areas on the northeastern edge of the island where all the plants and animals reside.

The only one that wasn’t going anywhere was Ter because it’s his turn to do the chores around the mansion. The boxer was pretty much, irritated that he couldn’t join his friends for today’s events. But apparently when it’s your turn to do the chores, you just have to do them. As his friends were ready to go while Ter leaned against a nearby wall, Twilight approached him,

“Okay Ter, since it’s your turn to do the chores around this mansion, I took the liberty of writing down the list of chores that you need to do. And whatever you do…” She spoke with a bit of irritation, “Don’t cause an earthquake..."

Ter defended, “Yo what?! That was an accident!” Twilight was referring to the accidental earthquake that Ter caused when they were training with the Skylanders which collapsed a cliff-side and nearly took Twilight with it if Tree Rex hadn't grabbed her. She handed him the list of chores as she left the mansion with the others. Ter looked at the list and read,

“Clean the Rec room, Wash the dishes, Clean kitchen, Vacuum Living Room, Check on the plants in the Greenhouse, Rearrange Twilight’s books in alphabetical order..." He was annoyed with Twilight for giving him one of her daily tasks for his chores, "Clean the barbecue, wash the hot spring and scrub the shower stalls.”

He looked over the tasks and sighed, “That girl just loves to rearrange her books in alphabetical order. Dash tends to call her an egghead when she goes too overboard with her books.” He decided to save the rec room for last as he went to clean up from breakfast.

Somewhere in a forested beach region of Equestria Shores near Sunny Beach, there was a camp that was set up for some reason. It had a tent and a firepit for nights. But there was a single occupant of the camp, an Orc that was sitting cross legged near the firepit with his eyes closed and in deep thought. This was Voodood, the last of the Ooga Orc Tribe, the Orc that Twilight is infatuated with. He is also a Magic Skylander, he has the power of the Legendary Axe Reaver and his training as a warrior at his disposal.

He was asleep for a long time since he was involved in that battle to wipe out the remnants of Malefor’s forces. He barely survived the battle as his tribe was slaughtered left and right by those ruthless beasts. Voodood in an act of desperation, he utilized the Axe Reaver's full power and plowed through the remaining grublins until he was the only one standing. He was alone and mortally wounded from his battle, he felt relieved, was saddened by the loss of his clan. The wounds he sustained were also taking a toll on him which the axe sensed. In a desperate attempt to save its master, the Axe Reaver teleported the Orc back to the Cave of Trials where he underwent a restoration sleep, cocooned by the same dragon bones that the axe was found in, Voodood would be asleep in suspended animation for two years. When he was awakened by Master Eon, he was offered to join the Skylanders to which he accepted. He wanted a reason to fight again, to be the warrior that he was meant to be. He chuckled.

“And to think that I obtained the Axe Reaver when I was 15 years old…” Voodood mainly speaks in third person. But recent events have caused him to pull out of his third person speaking and into first person. He opened his eyes as he reached into his gear and pulled out a small photo of Twilight,

“My beloved Twilight...to whence we meet again.” She was the reason why he was started to speak in first person. When he was first made the leader of the Ooga orc tribe, they would’ve made him choose a bride since he was the leader...but he declined. He didn’t know about love back then...until he met Twilight’s counterpart. That close save at Capybara Island and having them confess their love for each other was all that he could've needed...but still it didn’t seem enough.

He was planning to take things slow because he was new to love. He looked to his right side and saw a necklace made of dragon bones, made from the bones extracted from old dragon skeletons in ancient ruins. He even went back to the Cave of Trials to find that same skeleton where he found the axe. The centerpiece of the necklace was an amethyst gemstone, cut in the shape of an 8-pointed star - the star of the Magic Element.

He looked at the necklace and remembered the steps on how the Ooga find a suitable partner among his tribe. They give their potential partner a gift to show affection. Voodood knew this first step like the back of his hand. His train of thought was soon interrupted by the sound of the nearby beach-goers. Leaving his camp, the orc hid in the tall grass that was near the edge of the beach as he looked around, seeing the beach-goers minding their own business.

His wandering eyes soon spotted a familiar shade of lavender just a few meters away from his hiding spot. He turned his head slightly as he saw the familiar girl sitting on a beach towel reading a book.

“It’s her...Twilight Sparkle…” She was too fixated on the book to notice him. He was actually interested in that book she was reading. It wasn’t her usual spell books that he knows of. Luckily for him, Twilight set down the book to have a conversation with Applejack and Sonata. Voodood used a new power that he obtained when he and Boomer captured the Spell Punk, Spellslamzer - also beating some sense into Ghost Roaster.

When she was distracted, Voodood’s hand lit up as the book vanished and reappeared in his hand. He looked at the book and knew something was off after looking at the title,

“Ooga Orc Courtship vol.1”

The orc was shocked by this book, not only that they have researched his tribe's traditions, it was also the reason was why Twilight had this book in her possession. The orc knew for a fact that the moment Twilight realizes that the book was gone, knowing her, she would flip out.

On Sunny Beach, Twilight and talking with AJ and Sonata as they started with Sonata’s story on how she met the four, Twilight asked,

“So you fought them in a merged version of their minds?”

Sonata replied, “We lost the battle and we joined the Doom Raiders.”

Twilight finished, “And when you fell in love with Knight Light, you realized that Skylands was a big world with various wonders.”

Sonata smiled, “Knight Light turned my life around when I saved him from Luminous. When I joined the squadron, they didn’t see me as a former nemesis, they treated me like a sister to them. Just last night, they expressed that the squadron is one big happy family.”

AJ spoke, “Ah couldn’t agree more. Ya’ll been lookin’ out fer each other since this squadron was formed.”

Twilight nodded, “Your trip to the future was a true crash course in air combat. Although I was still shocked that only you and Camo were the sole survivors of Echo Squadron.”

The siren nodded, “And that my future self was the leader of Avenger Squadron, with my wingmen being Camo and the children of Spy, Dro, Ter and Camo.”

Rainbow approached, “That’s what caught me, Applejack. Spy met our son when chasing Wolfgang and he already was a great pilot.”

Sonata pointed out, “I bet Fluttershy, Spitfire and AJ can relate.”

Twilight asked, “Isn’t it kind of strange that we are talking about the squadron going into a war-torn future and meeting their children?”

Sonata replied, “Yeah, it’s kind of strange. But the whole war-torn future was erased from history when Spike activated the gauntlet and merged with Drago for the first time.”

Legend approached, “And we earned this vacation...but Spike’s got his work cut out for him.”

Twilight nodded, “Spike did tell us about those Traptanium creatures that appear from the wave roads. If we don’t do something about them, they’ll ruin our vacation.”

Rainbow and Legend sat down as Applejack asked Twilight, “So when are ya goin’ on yer date?”

Twilight blushed as her cheeks turned red, she moved her hand to where she set the book down. She picked up the book and realized that something was odd. She opened the book and found a necklace made of dragon bones with an eight-pointed amethyst star in the center.

Twilight realized, “This wasn’t in here when I set it down.”

AJ noticed, “Well ah guess someone’s left it there…” Legend saw something else, “Whoever left it there also left you a note.”

Twilight looked at the note and read, “I am close by where you are sitting.” She looked towards the bushes and saw a familiar dragon skull, followed by the same mixed blonde hair and the skin of a familiar orc as she smiled in joy,

“VOODOOD!” The orc made hand gestures which Twilight was familiar with as he spoke, “It has been too long since we have last spoken to each other, Twilight. I have had too much time on my hands. I hope you enjoy the necklace...I made it especially for my love.”

Twilight made hand gestures, “I missed you so much, Voodood. I haven’t heard from you in a while. I was learning of the ways to affection, the way that your tribe does it. I love the necklace by the way.”

Voodood hesitated until he used his hands, “I will meet you at the mansion tonight, my love.”

Twilight blew him a kiss before the orc vanished into the brush. AJ asked, “Ah thought he told ya to find him tonight.”

Twilight was too entranced as she sighed, “There’s been a change of plans.” Legend chuckled, “Hold it together, egghead.”

Meanwhile at the Crowne Premium Outlets, Spike was with Rarity as she was shopping for occasional clothes and supplies...with Spike having to carry the larger stuff. He was actually wishing that he could do a Traptanium Wave Change and use the Super Arm crystal...but it would be in a crowd of shoppers that would be seeing him transform which is not a good sign. So he kept himself steady when hauling that heavy load and continued following Rarity as she spoke,

“Isn’t this breath-taking, Spike? Just you and me shopping together.”

Spike mentally said, “If I wasn’t carrying a whole load of cargo, I would’ve seen you right now.”

Spike sighed as he said, “It’s quite the sight Rarity...you know that I’ll always be there for you.”

Despite the cargo that he was carrying, he was keeping up with Rarity pretty well. Of course he heard her ask,

“Will you always be there for me, Darling?” Spike nodded, “Always, Rares.”

It was then he heard Drago speak, “You know, Spike. This was almost like the story that I told you about last night.”

Spike asked, “About the Crafter and the Huntress as in You and your Wife?” The spirit replied, “It’s almost similar since I had to craft her gear while you are carrying all of the stuff that she buys.”

Spike replied, “Sometimes I wish we could merge to carry this stuff.”

Drago nodded from inside the gauntlet, “If there weren’t any people around, that’s for sure. Besides, your friend Ter told me that our heroics had hit the front page.”

Spike was shocked by this as he gently set the stuff near a table in a food court that he followed Rarity into. He asked,

“What do you mean by that?” Drago directed Spike to the Newspaper Stand next to the food court as he purchased a copy showing him as Megaman pointing his Mind Control Gauntlet at the Grublin Trolls. He took it back to the table when he saw several other photos of him slashing a bowman to bits with his beam sword and tossing a grenade at Hero Orc, finishing it off. Spike was amazed as he whispered,

“You’re right on one part, Drago. We have made the front page.”

Drago replied, “That wasn’t the only thing that made the paper…” Drago beamed from the gauntlet and turned the page to see Spike getting hugged and kissed by Lemon Zest. The sight of her caused him quite a shock as he stuffed the newspaper into his bag as he asked,

“You got any room for two in the gauntlet? Because I think I’m going to die.”

Drago chuckled, “Suck it up, kid. You know for certain that a love triangle was bound to happen eventually.”

Spike shook his head and whispered, “What do you mean ‘bound to happen?’ What’s going on?”

Drago replied, “Let’s face it, Spike. You can’t go a day without someone wanting to sleep with you.”

Spike answered, “But I don’t want anyone else...I want to be with Rarity.”

Drago understood, “I know love is difficult when you love someone and someone else loves you...that’s how love triangles are formed, kid.”

Spike whispered, “Do you even know how aggressive that Rarity gets when in bed?”
There was no response as he spoke, “That’s what I thought.”

He sighed as he spotted Rarity approaching, she was carrying two salads that she got from the nearby salad bar. She sat down as she noticed,

“Why Spikey, you don’t look like your normal self.”

Spike sighed, “I know Rares, I’ve had a hard night. But the day is still young and we have a special event tonight.”

Rarity nodded as she remembered, “The little barbecue night that you six have planned.”

Spike replied, “Planned, but I think Ter is going to be setting it up as we speak. Besides, having a barbecue night is great when on vacation.”

Rarity chuckled, “Let’s hope we don’t get into too much trouble, my Spikey-Wikey.”

Spike replied, “No trouble for this night, my dear Lady Rarity.” He took a bite of his salad as he spoke,

“At least it’s better than the canned food on the airship.”

As the couple were chatting and having a nice lunch, Lemon Zest was sitting at another table with Indigo Zap as the headphone wearing girl spotted the couple. She noticed,

“Indigo, it’s that Spike guy from the docks.” Indigo looked at the couple, “Yeah it is. But you know he’s on his own time with a friend.”

Lemon spoke, “There’s something familiar about him...I can’t quite put my finger on…” She pulled out the Traptanium shard and saw it glowing very rapidly as Indigo noticed,

“I’m surprised you still have that thing.” Lemon looked at the crystal and then at Spike as she remembered,

“When Megaman was at the resort last night, the crystal was glowing very fast. When he left, the glow faded…”

Indigo noticed, “And now we see that boy from the docks, the crystal starts glowing again?” Lemon nodded, determined to find out who Megaman is, “Whatever the reason, we need to know where this dude lives and find out if he knows anything about Megaman.”

Indigo sighed, “Okay, we'll follow the crystal.”

Meanwhile, back at the mansion, Ter was pretty much finished with most of the stuff on the list of chores. The only thing he missed was cleaning the rec room. Of course since he is the only one that used it for his training exercises and keeping himself in fighting spirit. He looked around the rec room and noticed the scorch marks near the punching bags from when he Supercharged. He spoke,

“Of course, the scorch marks are an obvious reason.” He also noticed the stains near the scorch marks as he remembered, “And AJ jumped me after I supercharged...and had sex.”

The brawler used a carpet cleaning vac and a couple of wet rags to wash down the areas of the rec room where most of the action took place. The carpet cleaning vac was obviously used for the love nest that smells like sweat and sex juices while the wet rags were for the soot that was all over walls where the punching bags were. Needless to say, he got the job done with the love nest and the soot covered wall.

As soon as he was done, he saw one thing that made him smile...it was a boxing ring in the rec room. This thing was a reason why he spends time in the rec room besides the punching bags. The only problem with the boxing ring is...he needed a sparring partner. He approached the ring as he pulled on the ropes and said,

“If there were a beach-side boxing event, I would participate in it.” But he focused on a crucial element when it comes to boxing, “I need someone that could fight back so I could learn a few blocks.”

“Well ah guess that today is yer lucky day, Ter.” Said a familiar voice as the brawler turned around and saw Applejack standing behind him. She was wearing a boxing outfit complete with sports bra, boxing shorts and boots. Ter spoke,

“Whoa, you surprised me, AJ! You know how on edge I get when all by myself.”

The cowgirl shrugged, “Ah just reckoned that ya love boxing so much...ah found this…” She held up a flier that made Ter’s eyes widen in shock,

“Beach-side Boxing Tournament!! Tomorrow Night at Ragno Beach!?”

AJ nodded, “And ah decided to train you on keeping on your toes during boxing.”
Ter realized, “Well, I haven’t seen any action since the attack on Moneybone’s castle...and I do want a sparring partner.”

AJ tossed him a pair of green boxing gloves as she wore a pair of red ones, “Well, the Apple Family is not only known for their fresh apples...we are also renowned champions in boxing. Ah myself was the champion for the girl’s boxing tournament while my bro was champ for the boy’s. You need to learn from the best to be the best.”

The boxer nodded as he donned the gloves as he and AJ stepped into the ring as his new trainer spoke, “Every training starts somewhere, let’s make that first punch together.”

Ter nodded as he asked, “So I’ve got to fight you?”

AJ replied, “That’s how we Apples trained durin' our free time. Now pay attention with mah moves, Ter. This is called ‘Apple Style’ and when ya’ll study from it, ya’ll know how to pull it off with your skills.”

Ter was confused for a moment, “Ma and Aunt Celestia never mentioned that she was part-boxer.” He heard a bell ding as he saw Applejack attempt to uppercut him from the right as she said,

“Dodge!” The boxer, hearing this dodged to the right as her punch passed by him as she looked shocked before Ter did a couple of light jabs to her head as apples started to circle around her. On his last jab, it caused her to get knocked back as she said,

“Nice moves, Ter.” She approached him as the boxer was trying to anticipate what the cowgirl would throw at him until she yelled,

“Block this!” She was about to punch him in the head until he blocked it with his gloves as she went, “What?!”

Ter proceeded to do some light jabs on her head and knocked her back as she shook it off, “Ah’d give ya a medal fer that.”

She soon did an uppercut from the left, but Ter dodged too early as her punch hit the side of his head as she prepared to do it again, but this time, he was ready as he dodged at the precise moment which left her shocked until he started to land a few punches on AJ as he moved from upper to lower areas of her body as she was knocked back,

“Now that’s what ah taught ya!”

AJ did a punch to Ter’s upper areas like his head and face as the boxer blocked it and went to work as he landed a few punches on his opponent again as she was knocked back as she said,

“Ouch Ter.”

She did a successful left hook as it hit Ter in the chest because he dodged at the wrong time. She did it again, but he dodged it and did a flurry of punches yet again. It was around this time that he noticed that AJ’s stamina was wearing thin since she looked beat up...he even thought,

“I might look even more beat up than her.”

He landed the last punch square in the chest as she held his arm as she said, “Nice one.” She leaned against the ropes of the ring, possibly exhausted. Ter approached as he asked, “Are you alright?”

The cowgirl nodded, “Ah’m an Apple, Ter. My kin are tough as a tree trunk when it comes to boxing.” She got up, “So are ya ready for the next lesson?”

Ter punched his gloves together, “I’m always ready!”

AJ replied, “Because this time, ah would be showing you more moves and tricks that mah family are known for. Watch mah movements and dodge at the right moment.”

Ter grabbed a water bottle as he drank its contents before going back into fighting position, “I’m ready for Lesson 2.”

AJ replied, “Ya’ll get the sweet taste of victory from training. Not just from those punching bags.”

Ter nodded, “Fighting against another is better than a punching bag.”

The bell dinged as AJ did a right uppercut, but failed to land the punch since Ter stepped back at the right moment before going at her with several punches to the chest as he swore that he saw her breasts bounce from his blows as he knocked her back...he shook it off,

“Stay focused, Ter! You’re here to train from her - not to ogle at her.”

Pushing his personal feelings aside, he tried he jab her in the upper area, but she blocked it and countered with a right hook which hit him in the side. She soon jabbed him in the face, but he blocked it and countered with another flurry of punches to her upper and lower regions. He did it so much that tears were starting to form in her boxing outfit. Ter was focusing on fighting his personal feelings and trying to train for the tournament.

His personal conflict left him open to AJ knocking him upside the head as he hit the mat. She asked,

“Didn’t your ma tell ya not to fight a girl - even an Apple of all girls?”

She began the count as Ter moved from the mat, up the ropes until he was leaning on them and got fully back up as she stopped at 4. He smiled,

“This half-shark can still stand!"

She smiled as they punched at the same time, punch after punch, block after block, all of their punches were either missing or landing right on the money. Ter dodged most of AJ’s punches before countering with several punches to knock her back. AJ actually took a bite out of an apple that she pulled from behind her back and her strength rejuvenated. She began to say,

“Quick feet, Ter!” She punched at Ter, only to miss and get wailed on by this ‘ferocious predator’ as he quickly depleted her strength with his predatory instincts, he landed the last punch onto her chest as she spoke in exhaustion,

“Ya...learn fast.” She leaned on the ropes as she panted. Ter lifted her bridal style as he spoke, “I think we’ve done enough for today.”

AJ nodded, “Ah guess, yer right. Tomorrow would be the final lesson before the tournament.”

They left the ring as he placed AJ back on solid ground as he wrapped a towel around his neck and gave AJ a towel of her own, “I’m gonna get ready for Barbecue Night...and Thanks for the training”

As the cowgirl saw the boxer leave the room, she smiled knowing, “Yer on yer way, Ter. In Battle and rocking the saddle.”

Soon enough, night has fallen over Equestria Shores as the team returned to the mansion after a long day of checking out the many sites of the island. When they entered the mansion, Twilight looked around and saw that the mansion was really cleaned. She complimented,

“Ter really did a number on the mansion.”

Legend nodded, “When a member of an elite squadron, there comes responsibility.”

The team noticed that everything was in order, everything on Ter’s list was done and the sun was about to set. It wasn’t until Ter walked into the room as he asked,

“So, how’d I do?”

Spike looked at the brawler, “It’s almost as good if I would’ve done it.” The brawler chuckled as he replied,

“Almost as good as you? That’s what you say.” He turned to the group, “Anyway, I’ve set up the grill for our barbecue night...but we need something to put on the grill since we don't have burgers and hotdogs.”

Spike asked in shock, "Are you serious?" Legend sighed, "How can you have a barbecue night if there's no burgers or hotdogs?"

The brawler assured them, "We could always look for something to grill in the greenhouse."

Soon enough, a figure appeared from the shadows next to Ter as he said, “I would assist you in this endeavor.”

Ter jumped as he saw the familiar orc, “Sheesh Voodood! You always do that?”

The orc replied, “Only to enemies and occasional prank victims...but I’m here because Twilight and I have a date tonight.”

Twilight approached, “And you plan to spend our date with our friends.” The orc nodded, “I’ve been on my own for far too long. I would rather spend these days with friends and lover.”

Ter nodded, “Anyway, so we plan to scour the greenhouse for anything edible to be fried and cooked for tonight.”

Voodood suggested, “I suppose that Terrafin and I search the greenhouse.”

Twilight, getting an idea replied, “Voodood has a point.”

Legend asked, “Wait, what? So they are the retrieval boys?”

Ter noticed, “It’s just a greenhouse, Spy. It can’t be all bad.”

Legend sighed, “Okay, you two should look for anything in the greenhouse. We’ll wait by the grill and make sure we don’t have any unexpected guests.”

Ter asked, “Why is that?”

Camo spoke, “Fluttershy and I saw something at the edge of the forest...it looked like a plant. It had a bud, it was moving and there were lots of tentacles...it nearly tried to grab her! It caused me to go wolf and carry her away from that thing.”

The gardener shuddered to think what would’ve happened if he didn’t react...only to be calmed by the gentle hand of Fluttershy comforting him. Voodood spoke, “I am carrying an axe, you know?”

Camo stated, “Just warning you guys of what we seen.”

Legend nodded, “In any case, you guys find something in the greenhouse while we keep an eye on our surroundings.”

Soon enough, the brawler and the warrior separated from their friends as they moved out to the greenhouse.

When they reached the greenhouse, Ter went to open the door, only to find it locked. Ter muttered,

“Damn, the greenhouse is locked. We don’t even have a key to it.”

With their options limited, Voodood noticed the woods near the mansion as he suggested, “We should move through those woods to find anything worth consuming.”

Ter looked at the forest and back at the orc and shrugged, “Guess we don’t have any other option." He also remembered, "Camo did say that most of the food plants in the greenhouse came from those woods.”

Voodood nodded, “It brings me back to when the Oogas gather herbs for potions or make spices.”

Ter chuckled, “Blast from the past, eh Voodood?” The orc nodded, “Truly a scene from the past.”

The duo advanced into the woods as they looked for any signs of herbs for spices and natural foods to be grilled. Ter asked,

“So about that plant thing that Camo saw?”

Voodood felt an eerie chill go up his spine when the brawler asked that question. He spoke with a very concerned tone, “My tribe speaks stories of such a plant. A sentient creature brought to life by a magic error from wizards that seek to control a living plant.” He remembered a disturbing detail about such a creature, “It targets the females and defiles them...it made it difficult to sleep at night knowing my responsibility as the Ooga’s Chief.”

Ter realized, “A plant that rapes its victims? I’ve heard and seen enough hentai to know where this is going.”

Voodood nodded, “And the thought of a creature like that being here of all places...it frightens me.”

Ter pounded his fists as he said, “If it tries to come here...that weed would be in for a big disappointment.” Ter soon bumped into an apple tree in these woods which caught him by surprise. But seeing his opportunity, he took a nice punch to the tree’s hard trunk as dozens of apples fell on top of him, but he lifted the apples up, thanks to his strength. Voodood saw this and pulled a large basket out of his bag,

“This will hold the apples in a much more suitable way.”

Ter dumped his load into the basket as he nodded, “I’d say ‘Fried Apples are on the menu’ So what are you looking for?”

Voodood replied, “Eggplants...I am searching for eggplants.”

Ter was curious, “I’ve heard of those fruits...but why are you looking for them?”

Voodood smiled, “The eggplant was a favorite among my tribe. The Oogas enjoyed the way when the fruit takes on a more bulkier meat look when used in our dinners.”

Ter soon thought, "An eggplant burger would be great for our grill night."

Voodood chuckled, "As long as you put hot sauce on mine."

Ter nodded as he carried the basket of apples, “I’m going to take these apples to the others. I’ll catch up if I can.” The brawler walked away as the orc continued on to other parts of these woods. He looked around, picking up some herbs that would serve as spices for the barbeque. He had his focus set on finding an eggplant and since he was living up to the traditions of his tribe’s gatherers, it would be the perfect food for a barbeque night. Ter's idea for an eggplant burger was truly am intriguing idea.

That was until he found a bush that was full of the purple fruit that was favored in his tribe. It was right in the middle of these woods with the moonlight shining down on it. Voodood thought,

“This looks too easy for them to be placed so conveniently in the middle of the woods...It almost feels like a set up.”

Even if it wasn’t, someone must've known that he would be here looking for these fruit. He approached the bush and reached out to take one...when he stops all of a sudden like he felt that someone was behind him. He kept his right arm on his axe as he prepared to pull it out on the intruder. Voodood turned and stared in shock, that leaning against the nearby tree, wearing her purple bikini top with a light-blue skirt covering her purple bottoms, was Twilight.

She had a seductive look on her face which was uncommon in her unless she saw Voodood. The orc’s face was starting to go red as he saw Twilight approaching him as she said,

“Hello Voodood, I thought I’d find you here.” Voodood stuttered, “Well...I...uh...I thought you were with the others.”

Twilight nodded, “I was, but I had to come find you. And I was looking to tell you that…” Voodood was curious until she said, “I think we’ve have a nice spot for the second part of our date...”

That was what caused Voodood to stare in shock as if Zap shocked him or Lightning Rod threw one of his lightning bolts at his rear-end. When it comes to a second part in a date, it involves doing it. Voodood felt uneasy, almost as if he was going to give out and pass out. Twilight noticed his uneasiness,

“You never did this before?” Voodood stuttered, “No...I never did!”

Twilight smiled, “Well, I was so hard in my books, I never did this either.”

Voodood’s shock managed to calm down as he realized that he and Twilight are virgins...they never had sex with anyone. Voodood had a reason because his tribe was what mattered, not himself. But Twilight could’ve had anyone she’d want, but she never did it and chose him. His thoughts were interrupted when he felt something bulge up in his pants. Twilight saw it clear as day,

“I guess someone’s aroused…” Voodood didn’t have time to think when he saw Twilight remove her bottoms from underneath the skirt. He noticed a couple of wet spots on the swimming bottoms. When they saw each other at the beach today, she never went into the water. And Voodood concluded that her bottoms were wet not from water - but from arousal. Twilight smiled,

“I think we need to do something about it. Don’t you think, Voodood?”

The orc was about to respond until he felt his gear loosening up, his axe fell off of his back and the upper portion of his gear came off revealing his bare chest. Twilight soon approached him with her hand glowing purple until it dimmed out. Voodood realized,

“You actually want to do this?”

Twilight nodded, “Your tribe prefers women skilled in magic and they are quite aggressive when in heat.”

Voodood knew that book from today held the ways of how members of his tribe have sex. He soon diverted to Twilight’s neck when he saw she was wearing the necklace that he made. Before he could ask about it, Twilight leapt onto him and linked her lips with his, causing the orc to lose his balance and fall on his back. Twilight looked down at the orc and asked,

“Ready to make our first time something to remember?”

The orc nodded, “I accept.” Twilight soon removed her skirt, revealing her dripping pussy as she turned around and gave Voodood a clear view of the lips of her pussy, her clitoris and her back door. She turned her head,

“Like what you see?” The orc replied, “Y-yes, I do like what I see…” He thought, “For someone who is knowledgeable in magic, she really is sexy.”

Soon enough, he felt the lower portion of his gear slip off of him as he soon felt exposed. He managed to get a good look at what was going on and found out that Twilight had used her magic to remove what remained of his gear. Although he couldn’t see her face, Voodood can tell that she was smiling at the sight of one thing - his phallus.

“Well Voodood, for an orc who entered the Cave of Trials at age 15, your special member is big.” She soon gripped it as she replied, “And hard as well.”

She soon lowered her mouth to his member and began to suck on it as the warrior kept his moans on the down-low. Voodood saw an opportunity since Twilight’s vagina was in his face as he gripped her asscheeks and started to play with her dripping flower with his tongue as several surprised moans came from Twilight. As she was sucking his member, the warrior went to work by playing around with her pussy as he was sucking her and sticking his tongue inside of her which caused her to moan even more. She was trying to focus on being mesmerized by the orc’s member in her mouth, but Voodood’s interaction with her vagina caused her to lose focus. She was close to climax when she stopped and released his member with a slight pop as her mouth was full of pre-cum.

She soon caused the orc to stop as she turned to him as she said, “Now it’s time to be one with each other.”

Voodood spoke, “I am ready to share myself with you.”

She moved the lips of her pussy over Voodood’s member as she lowered herself down on the orc’s dick as she started to grind the lips across her lover’s member. It earned a few moans from both of them as she grinded. Soon enough, she placed the member inside of her pussy as she felt a sting of pain and pleasure at the same time. She said,

“I-It hurts...but I’m enjoying this for the first time…” Voodood noticed a small trail of blood moving down from her flower as it was perfectly clear, they had lost their virginities. As Twilight moved back and forth as she moaned in pleasure of Voodood’s cock inside of her, the warrior was moaning as well as he thought,

“This is sex...after turning down would-be suitors when my tribe was alive...I wasn’t worried about it until now. Twilight and I are having sex...we are one with each other...it feels so...good.”

As Twilight was moaning in pleasure, she reached behind her and unclipped her bikini top, letting it fall to the sides as her breasts bounced, freed from their confines as she placed her left hand on her left breast and began massaging it as she rode the orc’s member as she began to drool from the pleasure. The orc decided to add some movement on his end as he gripped her hips and began thrusting upwards as she moaned in surprise as she said,

“Clever orc, you are.” Voodood replied, “I never...done this...until now.”

Twilight’s movements were soon in synch with Voodood’s thrusts as they moaned in unison. Soon enough, he could feel her moaning get a lot more heavier as he felt his phallus throbbing from being inside of her as she moaned,

“Oh...I’m so close!”

Voodood spoke, “I...I’m close as well!”

The bookworm said, “Do it, Voodood! Cum in me, fill this naughty egghead up!”

Soon enough, Voodood increased his thrusts as Twilight was moaning in undeniable pleasure as they were on the edge of orgasm as she continued to massage her breasts. She couldn’t hold it anymore as she threw her head back and shouted,

“I’M CUMMING!!” As soon as she shouted it, her dam had burst as her love juices which to Voodood had a magical scent to it as her reaction triggered his as he unleashed his orc seed inside of her as she thought in pleasure,

“I’ve waited for a long time for this...we...are finally one with each other…”

Twilight soon leaned her head down and kissed the orc on the lips. As the couple had a nice kiss after having sex for the first time. She soon lied down next to him as a mixture of her love juices and his seed dripped from her pussy.

Meanwhile in another part of the woods, Ter was wandering through the woods trying to find Voodood...but during his trek, he was also wary of that plant creature that Camo talked about, even if the gardener had a few leaves in his head. The brawler was always aware of danger, but they were supposed to be on vacation...but danger never takes a rest. He sighed,

“I’m starting to wonder if Camo was telling the truth about that thing...although Voodood did bring up a very convincing story.” Ter continued walking as he passed by the apple tree where he and the orc separated, that’s when he started hearing voices...unfamiliar to him,

“The crystal is pointing this way…”

“Ugh...we wander out of the city to the eastern side of the island, enter some forest to follow where that crystal points?”

Ter followed the voices until he heard them coming his way, so he hid in the bushes as they passed. He was able to get a good look at them, one of them he recognized from Spike’s description while the other was a friend of hers. He heard the friend say.

“Lemon, are you sure that crystal is the key to finding out who Megaman is?”

Lemon replied, “We talked about this before when the crystal flashed to Spike’s presence in the food court today, Indigo. If the crystal is pointing this way, we need to follow it.”

Indigo asked, “But does it have to be in some sort of ominous forest in the middle of the night?”

Ter silently spoke, “So close to the mansion…” He was wondering what possessed two Crystal Prep girls to make their way into the vicinity of the mansion? Until the brawler soon noticed something in Lemon’s hand...it was a small crystal shard with a light blue glow to it. It suddenly dawned on him as he mentally said,

“That’s a Traptanium Shard, they’ve been following that shard to the mansion...trying to find Spike?”

He continued to spy on them, trying to find a way keep the two girls from getting closer to the mansion until they heard a ruffling sound in the nearby trees. Ter heard it as well as he looked for the source of the ruffling sound...and soon enough - something appeared. A tentacle-like vine shot out from the trees and grabbed Lemon Zest as she was pulled away in shock yelling,

“HELP ME, INDIGO!”

She was going to react when a second tentacle shot out at her - but it was cut to pieces by Ter, who shot out from the bush and went all wolverine on the tentacle. There was a crazy loud shriek of pain as the tentacle holding Lemon pulled her away - towards the direction of the mansion, Ter looked at the shocked girl,

“Are you okay?”

Indigo spoke, “I’m okay...But that thing just took Lemon!” Soon enough, Voodood arrived on the scene and surprisingly- Twilight was with him as well. Both had Axe Reaver and magic at the ready. Voodood asked,

“Ter, what happened? We heard this shriek and came to help!”

Ter noticed, “Wait, what is Twilight doing here?”

The couple blushed as she said, “He...forgot something.” Ter was going to ask, but now was not the time. He asked Indigo,

“What happened?”

The Crystal Prep girl repeated, “Some plant thing made off with Lemon...it would’ve happened to me if it wasn’t for brawler here.”

Voodood muttered, “The Plant of Multiple Orgasms...”

Indigo looked at the orc, “You know something about it?” Voodood nodded, “It was once believed to be a legend...but not anymore. If it has your friend, then she is in great danger.”

Ter pointed, “The plant is heading for the mansion, we need to warn the others.”

Indigo asked, confused about their determination, “Who are you guys?”

Twilight replied, “We’re Skylanders!” With Indigo in tow, they ran back to the mansion.

Author's Note

So things are starting to heat up...since the plant is heading for the mansion. The Squadron is going to have a lot to deal with soon enough. Mind the short sex scene with Twilight and Voodood.
