Cutie Mark Crusaders Superheroes Yay!
Banishment
Previous ChapterThe Mane Six, who had already seen the damage done to their fair town, had gathered outside Twilight's door. "Glad you girls came" Twilight said, using her magic to pull open the doors, and invite her best friends in. "I'm assuming you saw what those three creatures are doing?" She asked, as they walked into the throne room. "How could we miss it?" Rarity asked, eyes wide.
"So, when are we going out there and busting those guys?" Rainbow asked, throwing up a hoof. Twilight frowned. "We may have to be careful" she cautioned. "They seem to have powers that flat out, should not exist." Applejack trotted to keep up with the alicorn. "What about Discord?" She asked, but Twilight shook her head. "Discord isn't a pony, so what he does could count as normal for his kind. These three though . ." She trailed off, deep in thought, then shook herself briskly. "Just be careful,okay?"
The six of them gathered in a small circle and began to concentrate. Each of them began to glow a certain color. Pinkie, a redish pink, Applejack orange, Fluttershy yellow, Rarity green, Rainbow Dash blue, and finally, Twilight Sparkle herself, purple. They rose off the floor, as their mane's grew longer and more colorful, and a rainbow shield surrounded them all, as they flew out of the castle to face their enemies.
Their enemies as it were, were on the roof of the town hall, laughing and generally enjoying themselves, as they tried to get the mud that had splattered the three of them, so they didn't actually notice the rainbow colored ponies rise up above them, until Twilight Sparkles voice rang out. "Give yourself up now, and we'll go easy on you!"
The Cutie Mark Crusaders looked at each other, confused. Who was she talking to? "Fine, be that way" Twilight said, realising that they weren't giving up. "But prepare to face the wrath of the Elements Of Harmony!" Corny, Scootaloo thought dismissively, though she was still looking for the bad guys Rainbow Dash and her friends were going to destroy.
It wasn't until six colors hit all three of them at once, that they realized. They tried to shout, to tell them no, it's us! But they wouldn't speak. They could only be forced deeper and deeper into the Everfree Forest. They finally landed, unharmed, mostly, about two miles into it.
Shakily they clamored to their hooves."Why would they do that?" Scootaloo asked, her wings trembling slightly. The others couldn't say anything. "Come on, you lot" Apple Bloom said, after a minute of silence. "Ponyville's that a way" she pointed and they all trudged off, the forest above being to thick for Scootaloo to break through and the branches and roots made it impossible for Sweetie's speed.
When they finally reached Ponyville, they lifted their weary heads high, and trotted the rest of the way. However, just as Apple Bloom, who was in the lead, was about to enter, a rainbow ring converged directly in front of her, sending her sprawling backwards. "What is that?" Scootaloo asked.
Sweetie, who knew quite a bit more about magic than they did, replied glumly. "A force field. It must be like the one for changelings." Nopony said anything, then Apple Bloom started walking away. "Come on, y'all, I know a place we can stay for tonight" she called over her shoulder gently, and the others followed.
The 'place' in question was an old and rickety shack. It was leaning to the side, like it was going to fall over at any given moment, but it kept the wind out. "It was an old storage shed" Apple Bloom said, answering their unspoken question. "We don't use it anymore. Come on" gently, she nosed down three burlap sacks, and laid them on the floor.
As they all curled up on them, Sweetie murmured quietly "I wonder what Rarity is thinking right now?" Scootaloo stared forlornly at some water that dripped through the roof. "My parents will be worried" she said sadly, while the truth was still just starting to sink into Apple Bloom. Granny, Big Mac, Applejack Holy Celestia, what must they be thinking?
Closing her eyes tight to block out these thoughts, she fell into a deep,and restless sleep.
Another disaster averted!" Rainbow cheered, and Applejack hoof bumped the air. "First round of ciders on me!" She said in her southern twang. Everypony cheered, and galloped away.
It was much later when Rarity stumbled home, and realized a certain sister was missing. "Sweeetie Beeelee?" She called, looking around. When nopony came, her muddled mind settled on two options. Sweetie was with her parents, or at one of The Cutie Mark Crusaders.
Meanwhile, Applejack, Granny Smith and Big Mac all searched the farm for their youngest member. "Darn it, ah told her not to leave the farm!" Applejack said, throwing down her hat in annoyance. "Gone off with those Crusader Friends of hers. When she get's back, I'm grounding her!"
"Scootaloo! Dinners ready!" Scootaloo's mother called, frowning when she got no response. Peeking around her daughters door, she found that she wasn't home yet. Which meant she was off with the Crusaders again. She sighed, and got ready to heat Scootaloo's dinner for when she came back.
