Episode 17: Fashion Victims

Previous Chapter

It was a normal day in New Manhattan Ponies were going along with their normal activities. One of these was a small cruise across a lake. "Hello Ma'am!" A voice said over the intercom. "Welcome to New Manhattan Please enjoy our little cruise." One of the passengers was Ursula wearing a yellow and red outfit with a purple hat. She was reading a magazine when someone walked up to her. "Oh?"

"Ma'am?" The waiter bowed.

"Ohhhh! Non, non, non!" Ursula exclaimed as she got up. "Why are all you ponies so taken with me? For once, I'd like to come to your lovely city and not have to listen to your sweet nothings." She told him. "Sometimes a girl just wants to relax and take in the beauty-"

"Tourists." The waiter grumbled as he walked away. "I only was asking to take her drink order."

"New Manhattan is stunning, isn't it?" Zander asked Ed as he took pictures on his camera.

"Oh, it's not just you." Ursula said as she laid down. "Men the world over are helpless when it comes to my beauty!" She cried before turning to her teammates, killing the mood. "So, what should we go see next?"

"Well, how about the park?" Zander suggested.

"Or a restaurant to get some real French fries!" Ed exclaimed as he finished his ice cream.

"Or we could just carry your packages for you." Zander said as he and Ed carried boxes full of stuff Ursula bought.

"Dr.Z is gonna be mad when he sees what this cost." Ed pointed out.

"Oh, don't worry about him. He'll say I deserve it." Ursula waved it off before realizing what she said. "On second thought, maybe I'll stay in Paris."

"That was sneaking telling him a dinosaur appeared her." Ed added.

"All right already!" Ursula yelled at him. "Yes, I made it up. I'm a bad girl. Are you happy?! But he doesn't know that." She said with a smirk as she recalled how it went.

Ursula was watching as Dr.Z was doing some work. "Nothing like playing with dangerous chemicals for fun and relaxation!" He said to himself. "When I combine these two, it ought to make a beautiful miniature indoor rainbow." He said as he combined two chemicals. The result was an explosion and his face getting fried. "Or a small nuclear blast."

Ursula took this moment to strike. "Dr.Z, another dinosaur has just appeared in New Manhattan!" She told him.

"How is that possible?" He asked her.

"We'll get going then."

"Right!" She said with a smile as Dr.Z fell over in pain. "It really worked! Thank you very much!"

"You know he's gonna through you in the dungeon when he finds out you lied to him." Ed reminded her, snapping her out of the flashback.

"Yes, but at least I'll look fabulous while I'm there!" Ursula retorted as she struck a "cute" pose. "Let's go look in this shop next. Hee hee hee!" Zander and Ed could only groan. When you go on a shopping trip with a stereotypical girl, it will make you wish for death.

"Ain't that the truth." Zander and Ed said.


In New Canterlot, Blitz and Blossom were playing with Castor and Leliani. Blitz tried to munch on Grand Ruler's cape again, but the children managed to pull Blitz's attention away from their father. Their majesties and Sapphire were happily watching them all play. "They are so cute." Sapphire cooed.

"Yeah, until one of them tries to munch on your prized possession." Grand Ruler grumbled. Blitz had tried to chomp on his cape many times which was a definite no since it had sentimental value, being the cape that Celestia gave him when he was younger. "Awww, now honey, the little fella was just playing." Celestia said.

"Yes, yes." Grand Ruler sighed.


Back in New Manhattan, a thunderstorm has started. The Alpha Gang were forced to take cover under a bridge. "Oh. How can all our cash be gone?" Ursula complained. "And with everything we bought, you didn't even think to buy an umbrella?!" She yelled at Zander and Ed.

"But, Ursula, you didn't let us buy even one thing for ourselves." Ed reminded her. "You said it was your job to spend all the money."

"That's true." Zander added.

"But it was your job to stop me before I bought that last pair of shoes!" Ursula screamed that them both while she started freaking out.

Zander and Ed winced at her tone. "There was no stopping you." They muttered.

Just then the Alpha Scanner started beeping, indicating someone was calling them. The trio all went pale. "If-if that's Dr.Z, throw that thing in the river!" Ursula told Ed.

Before he could, the Alpha Scanner leapt out of his hands and Dr.Z's face appeared. "I know what you three weasels are up too!"

At the same time, lightning struck a tree and destroyed it. The rain stopped a fire; but I did open up a capsule. The electricity flowed through the cards and they activated. The dinosaur was a three-horned ceratopsian like Blitz. Its frill was more squared shaped with little bumps going all around it, two other bumps on the side of it's mouth. It was light green, with dark green on its back. On its head were also yellowish stripes mixed with the green ones. This dinosaur was an Anchiceratops. Once it appeared, lighting struck again, giving the dinosaur a better reflection in the river.

"I checked and there was never a dinosaur in New Manhattan!" Dr.Z yelled at them. "The whole thing was a big fat lie!" He jumped all of their heads with the scanner.

Ursula grabbed the scanner and tried to find a way out. "Yes, but Ed and Zander had their little hearts set on a trip to New Manhattan and I couldn't bring myself to crush their dreams." Zander and Ed gasped at the reasoning. "Stow it." She muttered to them before grabbing some of her purchases. "Oh, and guess what Dr.Z? I got you one of these new dinosaur costumes that are all the rage! Only the most hip and chic are wearing them." She said as she got closer to the screen. "I'd just love to rush it home to you right now, however it seems we're a little short of cash for the trip."

Dr.Z growled at her attempts to bargain with him. "Have a nice walk home across the ocean, then, 'cause I'm not sending you one more nickel!"

Ursula fell over in defeat as the Alpha Scanner landed in Zander's hands. He then noticed it was blinking in a different tone. "Hey, Ursula, look at this."

"Oh?" Dr.Z looked at the map and saw where the dinosaur signal was coming from. "Impossible! A dinosaur has just appeared in Paris!"

Ursula saw this as an opportunity. "Like I was saying, we'll need some cash for expenses."

"Uh."

"Oh! And if you can arrange for a deluxe suite at a 5-star hotel, that should do it."

"Uhhhhh." Dr.Z began to sweat as he tried to figure out what to say. "Oh, you're breaking up! I'm losing you! Must be some-crxxsh! Problem with the-zzhhch-communicator shhk ehhh! Just go get that dinosaur! Beeeeeeeeeeeeep!" He held up a sign with a tv screen error. "Are you still there?"

"Hey! You can just forget about these souvenirs!" Ursula yelled at the screen.


Sapphire's dino bracer went off at that time. "Another dinosaur!" she cried.

"Where?" Grand Ruler asked.

"New Manhattan."

"Oh dear, there's a large fashion show happening there!" Celestia said, worried about the ponies safety. "Blitz, Blossom, let's go!" The two chibi dinosaurs responded and went after Sapphire. "Well, order Lightning and Mykan to meet you there." Grand Ruler called.

"Right."


By a lake in the park, the Anchiceratops was currently waking up from a nap. This was the only place in the whole area where she was able to get enough quiet to sleep.

With the Alpha Gang, they were currently searching the city for the dinosaur. "I'm starving." Ursula whined. "And we don't even have enough money to buy a croissant."

"Maybe we should try to sell back some of these clothes you bought?" Zander suggested and he gestured to the large green bags that contained the boxes they were carrying.

Ursula turned around and yelled at him. "Have you lost your mind!? Forget it!"

"It could take a long time to find the dinosaur." Ed pointed out. "It's possible we could starve." Just then, he noticed a tail poking out from an alleyway. "Hey! There it is!" He pointed out before they ran over to it. "Get ready for battle!"

"Should I call out Terry?!" Ursula asked.

But the tail was only part of someone's hat. The trio fell over in embarrassment. "Ohh!"

"People should not be allowed to dress like dinosaurs. It's confusing." Zander said as he got back up.

"Hey, maybe we should all get dinosaur outfits!" Ursula suggested, liking the idea of following the trend.

"Please, no." Zander and Ed replied. The last thing they needed was to be in debt from all this spending.


At a racetrack, two men were watching has some horseback riders ran by. They were soon followed by the Anchiceratops. "Oooh!" The both gasped at the sight of it. Due to the trend, they thought this was just a horse dressed up. "That was one big horse."

"I'd sure like to know what kind of oats it's been eating"

The Anchiceratops continued on running until it stopped by a truck. As she caught her breath, a car drove by and honked its horn at her. Startled, the Anchiceratops jumped into the truck, which was continently carrying dinosaur models, and was driven away.


Back with Sapphire, she and her dinosaurs were at New Manhattan and Lightning and Mykan appeared next to her. "Hey Sapphire, Grand Ruler told us what happen. So where's the dinosaur?" Lightning asked.

"Don't know yet, we better start searching." Mykan said.


With the Anchiceratops, the truck had stopped right by and building and opened up. The Anchiceratops opened her eyes and the bright light and noise ruined her nap. "Okay, back her out now, nice and easy!" A man said as a forklift moved the models out of the truck. "That's it! Stop right there! Now take her down!" All this time the Anchiceratops could only look around in confusion. She had no idea what was going on, or what was going to happen to her.

Meanwhile, The Alpha Gang were walking towards a building which held a fashion show. "Ooh, a fashion show is about to start!" Ursula said with excitement was the Alpha Gang walked by the building.

"That's nice, but I think we're supposed to be looking for a dinosaur." Ed reminded her.

"Well, maybe it's inside the fashion show." Ursula retorted. "You don't know, do you?" She said as they walked to the entrance.

Once they arrived, a guard stopped them. "May I see your invitation please, mademoiselle?" The guard asked Ursula.

"He's got it." Ursula said, pointing behind her.

"Monsieur?"

"Uh, he's got it." Ed told him.

"Monsieur?"

"He's got it." Zander told him.

A giant foot then stopped in front of him. "Huh?" The guard looked up and saw Terry roaring at him. "Aaaagh!" He screamed before Terry was recalled. "Huh? What? Wha-" The guard asked as he tried to recollect himself. "Bonjour."


Back at the fashion show, models continued on strutting down the runway and showing off their costumes. "C'est fantastique!" Ursula said with delight.

"Where are all the boys clothes?" Ed asked, getting kind of bored of only seeing women on stage.

"Ooh, now that one has Ursula written all over it!" Ursula beamed as the next model started approaching. Well, if she would count as a model. "Isn't this better then chasing some old dinosaur?" The greenette asked her teammates. It was then they realized what the next model was. "Huh?"

"What's this?" Someone asked.

"Another design I guess." Someone else replied.

"Must be a plus size model." A mare said.

"I think it's fantastic!" Another mare said.

"Look at that!" Ed exclaimed while Ursula gasped.

"An Anchiceratops!" Zander identified.

All the bright lights and camera flashes were starting to get on the Anchiceratops' nerves. She waved her head around as she tried to get them to leave like they were flies. "I'll bring in Terry to take on this guy." Ursula said as she got out her Alpha Scanner. Everyone applauded and cheered for the performance, but all the noise made the Anchiceratops even more agitated. Having enough of it all, she reared up and gave out a loud roar. The audience gasped at this change of events.

"That seems real." A mare said.

"Something's wrong."

"This isn't cute anymore!"

Another roar gave the audience the right idea to make a run for it. This gave the Alpha Gang an advantage. "Perfect! Now we can capture him without all these people-aaaah!" She couldn't finish before a whole crowd of ponies stampeded over them. "Poniesare quite fast." Ursula muttered as the dust and the room cleared.

"Uh, oui, oui." Zander muttered.


Lightning, Mykan and Sapphire met up again. "Find anything?" Sapphire asked.

"Nope." Lightning replied.

"Nothing." Mykan added.

Sapphire sighed at look at the large screens on one of the buildings and gasped. "Guys look!" The boys looked and saw the dinosaur walking off of the stage. "The dinosaur and it's an Anchiceratops!" Mykan said.

"That's at the fashion show building!" Lightning said. "Let's go!"

By the time the friends arrived where the fashion show was, there was no sign of their dinosaur. "Excuse me?" Lightning asked the guard from before.

"Yes?"

"Do you know where that dinosaur went?"

"Yes, it's somewhere over there." He pointed in the direction the Anchiceratops went.

"Awesome. Thank you!"


The Alpha Gang were currently on the top of a building looking for the Anchiceratops. "If you were a dinosaur, where were you hide?" Ursula asked as she and Zander looked around with binoculars.

"I would hide anywhere I wanted to." Zander answered.

Just then, the ground stared to shake. The Alpha Gang looked down in fear due to their great height. "Does New Manhattan get earthquakes?" Ed asked.

"No. I think that sound came from the manhole." Zander said. The manhole then burst as the Anchiceratops exited from it.

"Well, today is our lucky day." Ursula smirked.

"It sure isn't for those people stuck in traffic. That manhole just became a dinosaur hole." Zander said.

The cars began honking their horns at the Anchiceratops in order to get her to move off the road. All this did was agitate her even more. Roaring in anger, she charged until she collided with the arc, causing the whole thing to shake. "Whooah!" The Alpha Gang screamed as the whole arc shook. The Anchiceratops Just continued on hitting the arc, again and again. "Are you looking for a fight!?" Ursula asked as she called out Tank. Once the Sachina landed, the Anchiceratops stopped attacking the building and turned her attention to the challenger.

The D-Team quickly noticed as the battlefield activated. "It's a battlefield." Terry said.

"Then that's where the dinosaur will be." Mykan told them.

"How do we find it?" Sapphire asked the others.

"I know." Lightning said before calling out. "Hey, you! Old lady! Listen up! We all know that you're like 40 years old!"

"How dare you!" Ursula yelled back. "I'm still sixteen, and I have been for years!"

"Gets her everytime. To the center of town!"

Back with the fight, the Anchiceratops was currently hitting Tank in the face with her front paws. She tried going into a defensive curl. The Anchiceratops just continued on hitting his side.

"40 years old! He;s got some nerve!" Ursula growled at the insult.

"Never mind that. We've got a problem." Zander told her.

"Yeah, Tank is losing, and bad." Ed added.

"Huh?" Ursula looked down and saw that the Anchiceratops was still hitting Tank. Yhe Anchiceratops hit him again and sent him rolling away, knocking down some trees in the process like they were bowling pins.

"He bowled a strike!" Zander joked.

"Hey, will you get serious?!" Ursula yelled as she hit him on the head.

Seeing her opponent was down, the Anchiceratops started to frolic like a mad bull. At the same time, the rest of the team arrived. "It's looks like he's going nuts."

"Something must have really upset him." Sapphire said. Blitz roared and ran to the Anchiceratops. He made some chirps and he started spinning around, hoping to get her attention.

"What are you doing?" Sapphire asked him.

Blitz ignored him and continued on try to attract the Anchiceratops. Eventually he got her attention and began to lead her away from the arc and towards team, who scatted out of the way. "After them!" Sapphire said a she and the boys chased after the duo.

Back with the Alpha Gang, Tank was currently on his back again. "Well that's it for Tank." Ursula said as she recalled him. "So use Spiny and go get that dinosaur, now!"

"We're on our way!" Zander and Ed saluted.


Blitz led the dinosaur deep into a park and turned to face the dinosaur. He made chirps at it and the Anchiceratops stopped and looked around at her surroundings. Gone were the many cars and annoying people, replaced with the tranquility of the forest. The rest of the team was able to calm down when they saw the tension leave the Anchiceratops. "Well, what ever he did worked." Lightning said.

"Blitz knew what her was doing. He knew Anchiceratops was just freaked by all the city, carriages and ponies, cause he never saw anything like that before."

"Yeah." Suddenly, Spiny came out of nowhere and threw Anchiceratops across the park.

"We'll take that dinosaur now, thank you!" Ursula told them as the Alpha Gang revealed themselves.

"Then you'll have to get through us first!" Sapphire she pressed the button to recall Blitz . The process was a success and Blitz's card soon appeared in her hands

"STARLFEET SLASH, STYRACOSAURUS, ROAR!!"

Blitz landed and distracted Spiny from his main target. Getting back up, the Anchiceratops looked at Spiny will complete furry. She roared before she charged up her Move Card. She charged toward Spiny before hitting him with her tail, knocking down to the ground. She then went to his stomach and started pushing him across the dirt in a U-shape before stopping.

"Then let's add the finishing blow! Gatling Spark!"

Electricity once again flowed through Blitz's body before he attacked Spiny. He began jolting and pricking him and tiny bolts of electricity flew out from behind the Spinosaurs before Blitz smashed him away, defeating him.

The Alpha Gang gasped before getting hit by a stray spark and fainting. "Fried again?" Ursula moaned as Spiny's card flew into her hands.

"I thought that lighting never strikes twice." Ed commented.

"Au revoir, Pa-ree!" Zander said as they crawled away.

Blitz gave out a roar of victory before turning to the Anchiceratops. She was panting heavily before she gave out a roar and returned to her card. They both landed on the ground and were picked up by Mykan. "Yes."


At Zeta Point, Ursula was showing Dr.Z the gifts she bought him. "Oh, you look so handsome, Dr.Z." She told the doctor.

Dr.Z was currently wearing one of the outfits Ursula bought for him. "I do look younger in this, don't I? Hee hee!"

"So we didn't bring you back a dinosaur, but we brought you back a nice gift, right?" Ursula asked him, hoping they would make him not want to punish them harshly.

"Yes, yes!" Dr.Z agreed.

"No hard feeling about the large credit card bills, I'm sure?" Ursula asked him again.

"I'm feeling very forgiving and dinosaur-y!" Dr.Z told her, making Ursula smile in victory.

"Yes!" She cheered.

"Well I'm not feeling very dinosaur-y!" Helga said as she came into the room. "You went to Paris, maxed out the credit cards, and all you brought me back was this great big mess?!"

"No, you got a dance!" Dr.Z and Ursula told her. "Ready? Alpha Gang went off to France! And brought Helga this can can dance!" The duo were soon joined in by Zander and Ed. "Alpha Gang went off to France and brought Helga this can can dance!"

"So you couldn't even get me a t-shirt?!" Helga asked with fury.
