Handsome Sparkle

They entered the Vermont, where a lady waited to find a seat for them.

"Yes, welcome to the Vermont, there is a seat available now, I will take you to it," the lady had a soft and soothing voice, and she took them to a seat where a table covered in white cloth and 4 wooden chairs awaited them.

"Wait, can we... stay here for a bit?" the atmosphere had already engulfed Rainbow Dash.

Everypony gave Rainbow Dash a confused look.

"You know what... I should probably...we should...nevermind," said an embarrassed Rainbow Dash, who was constantly stuttering.

They sat down on their wooden chairs, and Sci-Twi began to speak.

"Okay, the vent is in the kitchen of the restaurant, we can enter there, here..." Sci-Twi handed Rainbow Dash a tag to wear around her head, a tag that had the name of one of the chefs "... take this tag"

   "Wait, how did you get this?"

"Um, I have...ways, anyway, go into the kitchen, you'll get weird looks because you're wearing a suit, but the tag should be enough to let you sneak by"

Rainbow Dash went into the kitchen, where the walls, lights, and the chefs, were all completely white.

Rainbow Dash made it to the vent leading into the Burj Sparkle, she got some weird looks from the chefs, but she eventually made it.

"Okay, let's open this thing"

Rainbow Dash pulled hard on the rusty, silver vent until it came clean off.

She crawls into the vent. It's dark, cold, and uncomfortable.

Rainbow Dash hears a buzzing sound coming from her ear.

"Hello Rainbow Dash, can you hear me?" says Sci-Twi

   Rainbow Dash feels around her ear, there is a microphone attached to it.

"What did you put in my ear?"

"That's just standard issue Hyponion headsets, we need to communicate, remember?"

"Oh, right," Rainbow Dash had absolutely no idea what a 'headset' was.

After one painstaking hour of crawling, she sees a horizontal row of tiny lines of light illuminating the dark.

She's found Burj Sparkle.

Rainbow Dash crawls toward the light, she sees it getting closer.

"Okay, I've just gotta--" before Rainbow Dash can utter the word 'pull', she falls through a crack in the vent, where she lands into the middle of a table in a conference meeting.

Her headset is now broken.

"Rainbow Dash! Are you there Rainbow Dash!" Sci-Twi receives static.

"Okay, we've gotta see what's wrong, take these non-lethal weapons," Sci-Twi gives the Mane 5 non-lethal tranquilizer guns from a bag she was holding.

"Listen, darling, I may be able to use the weapons, considering I'm a unicorn, but what about my dear friends?" asked Rarity.

"The weapons come attached with syringes, you're supposed to implant them on the side of your body, where they get attached to your nervous system, allowing you to control it," explained Sci-Twi.

"Oh... I don't know if I want to--" before Fluttershy can finish her scentence, Sci-Twi has already implanted the weapon into her sides.

"Come on, we've gotta find Rainbow Dash," said Sci-Twi.

They bust open the doors to the kitchen, where all the chefs stop cooking and stare directly at the weapons.

"Hasta la Vista, baby," Sci-Twi got a frown from Fluttershy.

"Never say that again, ever"

"Right, sorry"

Sci-Twi and the rest of the Mane 5 unleashed a round of tranquilizers on the chefs, now the alarm has been triggered.

"We don't have much time, Handsome Sparkle's forces will be on our tail soon," said Sci-Twi.

They went through the same vent Rainbow Dash went through, and they were all crawling as fast as they could.

50 minutes into the crawl, they heard a voice from below.

"I want these vents all lined with poisonous gas, who knows who else she's working with"

"Yes, Handsome Sparkle, we will get right to it"

"Uh oh, what do we do!" asked Pinkie Pie.

"Break open the vents below you," said Sci-Twi.

"But what about--"

"I said, break open the fucking vents!" Sci-Twi said this in a loud and assertive voice.

The Mane 5 and Sci-Twi all collectively try and stomp their way out of the vent, but it's nearly impossible.

"Um, girls...what's that green stuff"

Pinkie Pie sees a heap of green fog coming at them.

"Stomp faster, it's the poison!" says Sci-Twi.

The vents won't budge.

"Come on!"

It's not working.

"Forget it, we'll die here"

"No...We...Won't!" Sci-Twi finally gets a vent open, but there's something wrong.

They're 30 meters above ground, the vent is currently on the outside of the mall.

"We're dead"

Sci-Twi hung from the vent, her friends were all holding her hoof when she did, so know they were all dangling dangerously 30 meters above ground, but at least they were safe from the poison.

"Now what do we do?" asked Pinkie Pie.

"I'm not sure, we just gotta---" before Sci-Twi can finish, she sees a green helicopter staring straight at them with blinding lights.

"Oh come on!"

The helicopter turns to its side, the passengers door opens, and the Mane 5 are terrified of who's there.

"Oh, looky who we have here! It's the 5 shitheads, oh and my alternate counterpart, guess infinite power dosen't fly with you, huh?" said Handsome Sparkle to the dangling Sci-Twi, who is struggling to hold on to her friends much longer.

"Listen, Handsome Sparkle, the creature you will awaken will destroy you and everything you've worked for!" said Sci-Twi.

"Yeah, yeah, mabye it might, but there's a shiny orb somewhere and, for some weird reason, I don't have it!" said an agitated Handsome Sparkle

"You will kill us all, for a shiny orb? What's wrong with you!" shot back Sci-Twi.

"What's wrong with me? I'm not sure, but we can answer that question at the torture table, oh and Fluttershy, bunny stew tastes great!" Fluttershy shed a visible tear.

Handsome Twilight had captured the Mane 5 and Sci-Twi, and were now heading for the torture room.

They walked with their hearts beating heavily, not knowing how bad their punishment is.

"So, how are you enjoying New Ponyville?" asked Handsome Sparkle.

Nopony gives a response.

"Well, fine then, I make the tallest building in Equestria and you don't even want to say good job? What kind of friends are you?"

Not a peep from the Mane 5 or Sci-Twi.

   They walked through a very unpleasant looking room. The walls, floors, conveyer belts, and pretty much everything except the white lights were dark grey.

"So, uh, have I told you about the time I turned angel into stew? Oh, it's a great story, so what happened was I put angel in blender, then he got out and bit my friend's nutsack, so I killed my friend because he was a pussy, then my other friend called me a monster, so then I killed him too, and then..." Handsome Sparkle went on for about 30 painful minutes.

When the Mane 5 reached the torture room, you could easily tell this was Handsome Sparkle's favorite place.

"Okay, here we have 8 different torture rooms, number 1 is the least painful, 8 is the most. Oh look, there's my best friend Steve in the knife chair, say hi Steve!"

"OH! OH GOD WHY!" said Steve as the blades cut through his face.

"Yeah, he beat me in chess, he deserves it"

The amount of horror generated from the knife chair made Handsome Sparkle smile and clap in excitement.

"Oh, isn't this fun guys, my old friends coming to stop me from getting power, how adorable. I'm actually... I'm actually crying, this is beautiful"

One singular tear drop came from Handsome Sparkle's eye.

"Ah, crying feels good... Anyway, if beating me in a game of chess gets you in the knife chair, what does committing a terrorist act get you... Give me a sec, guys, this is some important shit I'm thinking about"

Eventually, Handsome Sparkle's eyes went wide and she let out a excited gasp.

"Oh, I know! Wait... no I don't, that's not bad enough"

She kept thinking and answering as if she had figured out what punishment they deserved, but consistently went back to ponder again.

Sci-Twi and the Mane 5 wondered if this was the punishment.

"You know what... Just go into the fucking knife chair when Steve's done, I'm too old for this shit"

Handsome Sparkle turned around to leave before she saw a rainbow colored light fly past her.

   "So, Twilight, this is what you've become?" asked Rainbow Dash, who stopped Handsome Sparkle before she was going to leave.

"Who the flying fuck is Twilight, I only know Handsome Sparkle, is 'Twilight' another one of your friends!"

"I know you're somewhere in there Twilight"

"You wanna keep fucking calling me that kiddo, that's fine, but I really have no fucking clue who you're talking about"

"Listen, Twilight..."

"OKAY, NOW I'M GETTING MAD! WHO! IS! TWILIGHT!"

"You're Twilight"

That ticked off Handsome Sparkle, now she had her horn ready to fire.

"Say my name, and you better fucking say it correctly"

"Twilight. Sparkle"

Handsome Sparkle fired her horn at Rainbow Dash, but something was amiss.

"What the... DID THEY JUST PUT A FUCKING HOLOGRAM!"

The beam went through the hologram, and it turned it off, sucking itself back in to a tiny circle where the hologram was projected through a hole in the middle.
