Twinkle Eye Rescue Force

Episode 2: Bomb Squad!

Twinkle Eye Rescue Force quickly went back into rescue training, this time to defuse some bombs in four separate holographic rooms. Wind Whisler was the first to reach a bomb, simply flying over a bunch of battle droids before cutting its red wire with her wing. "It's always the red wire." As soon as she cut the wire, the bomb exploded and the droids shot her several times before everything in her room faded out. "Ouch."

"MISSION FAILED."

Meanwhile, Gingerbread walked towards another bomb, but several battle droids blocked the way. "Want some more from my skillet? You're in luck!" She then proceeded to beat the droids with it, but got so carried into the Jedi-like swordfighting that she forgot to defuse the bomb, which then exploded.

"MISSION FAILED."

After shooting away some battle droids with Spacial Cannon, Galaxy stepped in front of a bomb labeled "DO NOT TOUCH". Alright, I'll just use magic. She levitated the bomb, only for it to explode in her face.

"MISSION FAILED."

And last but not least, Fizzy used her bubble powers to safely contain a bomb. The bubble safely contained the explosion and remained intact. However, a white dog walked up to her. She petted it and found out the hard way that it was a bomb...

"MISSION FAILED."

Then everything in the rooms except the Rescue Force ponies faded out. They then walked out of the rooms and stood in a circle. Wind Whistler stretched out her wings, ready to lecture her friends. "Turns out that solutions that seem obvious can actually be anything but. The droids' and demons' creators are most likely adapting to our tactics. Galaxy, expect magic-sensor bombs like the one that killed you earlier. Gingerbread, you're such a Jedi enthusiast that you forgot about the bomb while fighting the droids. And Fizzy, it's good that your bubbles can safely contain explosions. Looks like the bombs are being disguised now. Time to install some bomb detectors!"

Gingerbread and Wind Whistler rubbed the two unicorns' horns with their hooves until the horns started shining. As Fizzy and Galaxy walked back into the holodeck to test the bomb detectors now installed in their horns, the horns began to glow a bit. As another dog bomb from earlier walked towards them, their horns started to flash faster. Galaxy remarked "Getting warm, warmer, HOT!" She and Fizzy tossed away the dog bomb with their magic, watching it explode far away from them.

"MISSION SUCCESS. BOMB DESTROYED."

"What about us?" Gingerbread asked. "Wind Whistler and I don't have magic horns. Wait a minute, can she upgrade my skillet too?"

Windy then did exactly that. The skillet quickly started glowing, the glowing speeding up as Gingerbread approached a hologram bomb and sliced it in half.

A few minutes later, a girl robot appeared on the monitor on one of the walls. She wore a black frilly dress, white gloves, and a purple star-shaped helmet. Out of her helmet stuck out some short yellow hair to either side of the top of the star. "Hello, Twinkle Eye Rescue Force. I am Maaegen, a general of Terror Empire no da!. About that Burny guy you killed a short time ago...That was one of my creations, and I'm just getting warmed up no da! Now there are bombs planted all over town no da!" The screen then changed to show battle droids setting five bombs, culminating in a big one protected by a force field. "You may not remove that big bomb until you're done with the other four first no da! But you have only 16 minutes to defuse it no da!"

The screen faded to static. Wind Whistler announced, "We've got to defuse those droids' bombs. TWINKLE EYE RESCUE FORCE GO!" Again, they dramatically posed in front of different colored squares, called their names, and had a huge explosion behind them.

When the Rescue Force arrived on the bomb site, they found a bunch of conventional bomb defusers lying dead on the floor. But one began to speak for a while. "Droids...shot squad ...dead...city block...evacuated..." Then he dropped dead.

Gingerbread replied, "Sweet, now we can beat up the droids without the risk of further harming any bystanders!" The droids who shot the bomb squad dead then stood in front of her to promptly get beat up.

"SPACIAL CANNON!"

"WIND CUTTER!"

"BUBBLE IMPACT!"

These three familiar super attacks were then followed by Gingerbread yelling "ROUND TRIP" and throwing her skillet at the droids. The skillet flew in a circle path, knocking them over before returning to her. "You three, time to defuse the bombs! Leave these droids to me!

Fizzy was the first to defuse a bomb. Rolling through droids blocking the way, she bubbled a bomb and it instantly exploded harmlessly inside the bubble. Then her bomb detector caused her horn to flash quickly as an extremely agile glass of water flew by. Bubbling it only slowed it down enough for Wind Whistler to give chase and successfully catch and defuse it. Some droids shot at Windy, but Fizzy's bubbles caught all the shots.

Galaxy stumbled towards another magic-triggered bomb. "I can't stop this one!" She then shot at some droids that Gingerbread was fighting, creating an opening to defuse the bomb.

Then Gingerbread ran towards the bomb, dodged droid lasers before deflecting them with a cooking tray, then covering the bomb with the tray face down. "I can." The tray bolted itself to the floor, safely containing the resulting explosion.

As the third and final dog bomb showed up, Galaxy refused to fall for the trap this time and defused it with a force choke. With all four other bombs gone, the force field protecting the biggest one faded, allowing Wind Whistler to immediately take it and start pushing it somewhere else - namely, the ocean.

Maaegen's voice then sounded from the big bomb: "Now that Twinkle Eye Rescue Force has defused all the other bombs, this one won't explode in 16 minutes...but in 16 SECONDS NO DA! AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" An explosion went off where Windy was pushing on the bomb, sending her flying backwards to the floor. "And that laugh was a bomb too."

Seeing their pegasus friend injured, the two unicorns Galaxy and Fizzy sprung into action. Galaxy heated up the bomb's iron surface with a heat ray, then Fizzy used the Bubble Impact attack to cool the surface down, turning it brittle enough for Gingerbread to throw her skilet through it like a javelin while yelling "GINGERBREAD DAGGER!" The skillet flew all the way through the back of the bomb before returning to Gingerbread, then the bomb's core flew into space and exploded harmlessly. "Mission complete!"

Back at the base, Wind Whistler lay on a recovery bed, her chest area wrapped in bandages. "Fizzy, Wind Whistler, Galaxy, I almost forgot that teamwork is everything when I tried to push that bomb away. Don't worry about me though, I'll recover soon enough. The magic of friendship heals everything, and you just used it."
