(Main Stage Area)

Luna and Rebecca were standing together on the stage. Luna was trying to comfort Rebecca. “Don’t worry miss, we will get out of this one way or another.”

“I don’t know Luna. What if we disappear along with them?” Rebecca asked worriedly.

“We won’t. I’m more concerned about what’s causing the disappearances.”

“Yeah… what is causing them?” Luna lifted her head at the voice and looked around but saw nothing. That is, until a spotlight turned on, and under it was none other than; Beegle. “Good to finally meet you in person, Luna.”

“Beegle?” Luna asked.

“Not just me…” Beegle pointed behind Luna and Rebecca. Luna turned and saw Jason 10 feet away. “Jason to.” Luna was confused.

“What are thou up to?” She asked.

“Oh nothing.” Jason answered. “We were just enjoying the fact that your sister is missing. In fact, we know exactly where she and Discord are.”

“You do!? Where are they!?” She asked. Jason didn’t respond. He just grinned. “What is going on you two?” Luna was starting to grow suspicious.

“What’s going on is that your doom is approaching.” Beegle answered. Luna’s eyes widened in shock.

“What did you do with Celestia!?” Luna demanded.

“She’s just enjoying the show because it’ll be her last.”

Luna stood up and began to walk towards Beegle. “Stand down.” She said. Beegle began to advance to Luna. “I’m ordering you to stand do-” Luna was interrupted when Beegle grabbed her by the neck. Luna struggled. She somehow found herself unable to escape the boy’s grasp. She then, lit up her horn and fired a beam in Beegle’s face, resulting in a scar appearing around his eye. Beegle was furious now. He threw Luna to the floor and she face planted. Luna busted her nose and it started to bleed.

“There’s no reason to resist!” Jason stated walking to Rebecca. He reached in his pocket and pulled out a weapon Luna had never seen before.

“Wh-what is that thing!?” Luna asked in alarm.

“This here is what we humans call: a gun. It’s a weapon of great power! A single shot from this baby can kill you, depending where you get shot.” Jason pointed the gun at Rebecca’s head. “Now it’s game over for both of you!”

“NO!” Luna shouted, but it was too late. Jason pulled the trigger and blew Rebecca’s brains out. Luna cringed as some of the blood splatter all over her.

Jason turned to Luna and pointed the gun at her. “See you in Hell, Nightmare Moon!” The moment Jason pulled the trigger, Luna teleported away. “WHAT!? Where did she go!? You can’t hide forever coward!”


(Backstage)

Luna teleported behind the stage panting. “Okay. Rebecca’s dead, but you still have to find Celestia and the others.” She told herself. Luna began to trott away. She did a few loop-de-loops because she couldn’t actually see where she was going. “Where is the Goddamn exit!?” She whispered. Luna finally found the slime challenge stage and flew up to the top of the stage. She continued to walk down the path until she heard a ‘crunch’ noise. She looked down to see what she stepped in. She stepped on the ribcage of a lifeless Ben. She shrieked at the sight, backed up and fell off. Luckily, she landed in a giant ball pit. She started heading for the edge of the pit and grabbed it. Then she looked up in surprise. Right above her was Jason raising a mallet. “Giant hammer.” Luna muttered. Jason swung the hammer down into Luna’s face, splattering blood all over the ball pit, busting out one of Luna’s eyes and killing her instantly.

“She did it!” Jason said as he raised the mallet again.

“Good work Jason!” Beegle said. “You took it down to hammer town! Ha ha ha ha ha!”

“Two down, two to go!” Jason shouted.


(Ben’s Office)

Barb had made it to the office, and headed to the phone to call the cops. To her dismay, the phone was shattered. “Dammit!” Barb shouted. “I guess I better go tell the others.” Barb left the office and headed down the hallway. She was worried to say the least. ‘These kids are more clever than I thought. Maybe there’s a way to out smart them...’ Barb thought. She had an idea that the Human Bunch was responsible for what was going on. Honestly, she never really liked those kids. She stopped dead in her tracks when she heard the sound of singing. She turned to see Jason at the far end of the hallway barely lit up.

“Tra la la, Tra la la la” Jason sang. Barb began to run in the opposite direction until she reached the slime challenge stage. Barb looked around as she heard the footsteps getting louder. Finally she spotted the ball pit and jumped in. Jason walked into the area looking around. “That’s odd. I could’ve sworn I heard something.” Jason said as he turned and walked away. Barb checked to see if he was gone. When she saw the coast was clear she tried to get out of the ball pit, but she saw something deep inside it. She got very curious and made her way towards the sight. After moving a bunch of balls Barb finally saw it. Luna’s corpse. She was barely able to keep herself from screaming. Suddenly, she felt herself being lifted up. She started to scream.

“Calm down! Calm down! It’s just us!” A familiar voice said. Barb looked to see Twilight and Fluttershy. She sighed in relief. “What were you doing down there?” Twilight asked.

“I was trying to hide from Jason.”

“That’s good because we just found out that those kids are out to get us.” Twilight told Barb. Twilight then looked in the ball pit and saw something blue inside. She used her magic to lift a large number of balls. When she did, she gasped at the sight. “Luna… no!” she whispered. Fluttershy took a look to, and when she saw Luna’s dead body she hugged Twilight and began to cry. “T-They killed Luna…” Twilight muttered tearing up. Dead. Twilight’s adoptive aunt in law was dead. Twilight held Fluttershy close to her as they cried. “We’re… too late.”

Barb placed a hand on Twilight’s shoulder. “We can’t help her. We have to find the others.” Twilight knew Barb was right. They had to find Spike.

“‘Sniff’ You’re right. Luna wouldn’t want us to stay here. Let’s go.”


(Dark Room)

Spike and Smolder have been running for half an hour and ended up in an empty room. “I think we lost him.” Smolder said. They turned when they heard the sound of a door opening. Sarah stood in the doorway looking at the dragons. Smolder turned and tried to open the door they came through. “It’s locked!” Sarah began to walk over to them. Smolder walked pass Spike and put up her fists. “Go. I’ll take her out.” But Spike didn’t move. He began to walk forward and went pass Smolder. “We can’t trust her!” Smolder said.

“It’s Sarah. She’s different.” Smolder backed away in fear. Spike stopped a few feet away from Sarah. They looked at each other for a silent moment. Spike then began to do a little dance. “Tra la la, Tra la la la” Spike sang softly. Smolder was super confused by what she was seeing. Sarah began to copy Spike’s movements.

‘Are they doing the Sarah Shuffle?’ Smolder thought as she watched. ‘This is kinda messed up.’

Spike held out his claw. “Please Sarah…” They were all silent for five seconds. “Help us.” Sarah stood for a moment before walking forward. She slowly took Spike’s claw and nodded. Spike turned to Smolder. “It’s okay Smolder.” Smolder still had some suspicions, but decided to go with them. Sarah began to walk off with Spike. Smolder following them.


(Human Bunch Breakroom)

Twilight, Barb, Fluttershy and Poppy walked into the breakroom. Twilight looked around. “Hey! Help me out here!” Twilight turned to see an elderly man trapped in a cage. She noticed that his right hand was missing a few fingers.

“Thomas!” Barb shouted running to the cage.

“You know him?” Fluttershy asked.

“Yeah. He was the founder of the show.” Barb turned back to Thomas. “What happened?”

“I-I told him n-not to cancel the show.” Thomas stammered. “I was nearing retirement and I needed someone to take my place. I chose Ben. He said that this show was a waste of potential. I took in those kids after a disaster took their families. I warned him that this show was all they had left, and he didn’t listen.”

“They’re doing this because they want the show to continue?” Twilight asked.

“More than that.” Thomas answered. “They kept talking about bringing justice upon a couple of ponies and draconequus for the sins they committed against three people named; Tirek, Chrysalis and Cozy Glow.”

“What!? But it was Tirek, Chrysalis and Cozy Glow who commited the crimes.” Twilight pointed out. “Why are they blaming it on Celestia and the others?”

“Because they knew that Celestia could’ve chosen to forgive them. Let their deeds wash over her like a river over stone. But she decided to keep them trapped forever instead. Jason says Celestia basically murdered those three and swore that she, her sister, Discord and Neighsay would die for what they’ve done!” Thomas told them.

“T-Twilight? Maybe we should have given them a second chance.” Fluttershy said.

“Why do you think that!?” Twilight asked.

“Because… Because… Because if we did, Luna and Neighsay would probably be alive right now.” Twilight thought for a moment, but then shrugged.

“How do we stop the Human Bunch?” She asked Thomas.

“Y-You can’t.” Thomas began to chuckle. Twilight knew that they had to at least try. She then turned to see a trap door and light coming out of it.

“Everyone grab a weapon.” Twilight said. Twilight found a wrench and picked it up. Barb grabbed a screwdriver. Fluttershy found a crowbar. “Let’s go!” Twilight said. She, Barb and Fluttershy went down the trap door. Poppy was about to join them, but she spotted something on the wall. It looked like metal armor.

“What is this?” Poppy asked.

“I came up with it months ago.” Thomas answered. “I wanted to build a sister for the Human Bunch.”

“A fifth member?” Poppy asked.

“Her name was; Rona.”

Poppy looked at the armor. She began to think about Neighsay. “We were gonna get married,” Poppy grabs the helmet and looks at it. “and they killed him. ‘Sniff’” She proceeded to put the helmet on, then reached for other parts.

“What are you doing?” Thomas asked. Poppy continued putting the armor on. “Stop that! That isn’t for you!” Poppy then used magic to pick up what looked like a machete. She turned and began walking toward the cage. Thomas began to whimper. “St-Stay back.” Poppy sliced the lock off.

“He’s dead because of you.” she said sadly. Poppy raised the machete, and within 4 seconds blood stained the wall.
