Ch.1 Birthday Dragon

Twilight was asleep on the couch in the library of her castle. It had been 3 months since the defeat of Tirek, Cozy Glow, & Queen Chrysalis, & since Twilight became the new ruler of Equestria. A TV show was playing in front of her. It was called “The Human Bunch.”

The announcer began to speak. “Tidal Wave Studios presents: The Human Bunch!” four human teenagers burst through the title dancing towards the camera. “Staring: Beegle,” A 17 year old boy wearing magician clothes appears on screen with a magic wand. “Mikey,” A 16 year old boy swings on a vine and crashes into the wall. “Jason,” A 17 year old boy in a red t-shirt drives a go-kart and bumps into a police car. He then jumps out of the kart and runs away. “Sarah.” A 16 year old girl walks through some curtains and dances. All four of the kids are dancing together now but stop when they hear the doorbell. Jason answers it and a cop appears. “And featuring: Stevie” Stevie the cop takes off his sunglasses and gives a thumbs up to the audience. Beegle then hands Stevie a tamberie & they play music together. Twilight then wakes up to see Spike.

“Spike! What are you doing!? It’s 10PM!” Twilight said.

“Sorry Twilight.” Spike apologized. “I’m just super excited!”

“Spike, your birthday isn’t until tomorrow. You need to get your rest so you can celebrate when it’s time.”

“I know. It’s too bad though that Starlight and Nyx can’t be here to celebrate, given they’re visiting mom & dad in Canterlot.” Spike sighed.

Twilight put a hoof on Spikes shoulder. “It’s okay Spike. We can still have fun. After all Rarity, Fluttershy and Applejack are coming over for your birthday.”

“Yeah, I can’t wait! Well I guess I’m gonna go back to bed. Goodnight Twilight.”

“Goodnight Spike.”

(The Next Day, 11AM)

Spike was watching The Human Bunch while Twilight was getting his gem birthday cake ready. Applejack walked up to Twilight lowering her stetson. “So, have ya decided what yer gonna do for his birthday yet?” She asked.

“As a matter in fact, yes. We are going to planet Earth to watch The Human Bunch live. He loves that show, and he’ll be excited to see Beegle, Jason, Mikey, & Sarah in person. We have five tickets so you can come if you want to.” Twilight offered.

Applejack raised her stetson. “‘Fraid ah can’t Twi. I got a lot o’ work ta do on the farm. Who is going anyway?”

“Me, Spike, Fluttershy, & I’m thinking of inviting Flash along with us. But I don’t know who the fifth pony is going to be.”

“Well, why not let Spike decide? It is his birthday after all.” Applejack suggested

“That’s exactly what I was thinking Applejack!” Twilight answered.

-3 Hours Later-

Spike, Twilight, Rarity, Applejack, & Fluttershy were gathered at the dining room table as Spike blew out the candles. “Yay! Happy Birthday Spike!” Everyone cheered

“Hard to believe isn’t it Spike? You’re officially 12!” Twilight said

Rarity then hands Spike a gift. When Spike opens it he sees it’s a staff with an emerald on the top. “I love it Rarity! Thank you!” Spike thanked

Twilight then spoke, “We have another surprise for you. We-”

“Are going to The Human Bunch!” Fluttershy finished. “We’re going to Earth to watch an episode live.” Spike couldn’t believe what he was hearing.

“Thank you so much girls! You’re the best!” Spike thanked

“Yer welcome Spike, but me an Rarity are fraid we can’t come because we got work ta do.” Applejack explained

“Aw, that’s a shame.” Spike said

“Yeah well, we decided that it would be you, me, Fluttershy, Flash & you get to pick who else” Twilight said

“Really? Can Applebloom come?”

“Sorry sugarcude,” Applejack apologized, “but Applebloom’s mighty sick.”

“Oh, then how about Smolder?” Spike asked. Twilight thought for a moment. Smolder didn’t leave the School of Friendship for a while. Although, she needed to get out for a while and she would probably love to see what a beautiful planet Earth was.

“I’ll talk to her and see what she thinks.” Twilight promised.

(School of Friendship, 1 Hour Later)

“You want me to do what?” Smolder asked Twilight. Twilight was currently talking with Smolder in her dorm along with her boyfriend; Gallus the Griffon.

“Please Smolder. It’s Spike’s birthday and it was his idea to invite you. Plus, you haven’t left the School of Friendship for 2 months, you need to get some fresh air.” Twilight pointed out.

“Look, it was nice of him to invite me, but it’s just that the Human Bunch is a little childish and too weird for me.”

“Smolder, you dress up like a princess sometimes to have a tea party with dolls.” Smolder blushes at Gallus’ comment.

“Alright. If it’ll make Spike happy then I’ll go”

“Thank you Smolder.” Twilight said. “We’ll be heading to the dimension portal soon, so I suggest you start getting ready.”

Smolder nodded, and when Twilight was out of sight she turned to Gallus. “Dammit Gallus, you weren’t supposed to tell anyone my secret interests!”

“Well excuse me for reminding you that you’re childish at times just like that show.” Smolder knew Gallus was right, so she didn’t argue. She just went to get ready for the trip.

‘I actually am kind of excited to see the show. I hope it’s as good as they say’ Smolder thought. Boy, was she going to enjoy it.

Ch.2 Tidal Wave Studios

(Portal Station)

Twilight, Spike, Fluttershy, Flash, and Smolder had arrived at the portal station at the edge of Ponyville. Spike couldn’t hide his excitement, & needless to say, Smolder couldn’t either.

“You remembered to get the tickets right?” Spike asked Twilight.

“Don’t worry Spike, I got them right here in my saddlebags” Twilight pointed out. She then noticed that Flash was on his phone, not paying attention. “Flash, we’re about to go through the portal to Earth.”

“Huh? Oh! Sorry Twi. I was just updating my profile on facebook.” Flash apologized. “So… have you been to Earth before?”

“Yes, I’ve been to Earth before. In a different universe though. The Earth we’re going to is known as the ‘Real World’ & we have millions of fans there.”

“‘Real World’? What do you mean by that Twilight?” Flash asked

“Well you see, in that universe we’re actually a bunch of fictional characters in a cartoon show made by the human counterpart of our Goddess; Lauren Faust.”

“I didn’t know that!” Flash barked. “Huh. You never know what you could learn about your own world.”

The portal to Earth opened & it was time to step through. “Alright guys, here we go!” Twilight Announced.

(Tidal Wave Studios)

Twilight and the others stepped through the portal and were now in front of a large building. “Well, here we are!” Spike said.

“Woah" Smolder said. "That’s kind of an odd looking building.”

“You’re telling me.” Flash agreed. They started walking toward the entrance. When they arrived they stopped by a guard.

“Welcome to Tidal Wave Studios. How may I help you five?” thee guard asked.

Flash walked over to the guard to respond. “Yeah hi, we’re here to see… uh, the uh... ”

“The Human Bunch” Spike finished. “We’re here to see The Human Bunch for my birthday.”

“He’s a little excited.” Twilight said.

“I’ll need your ID.” The guard says. Flash shows him his ID and the guard takes a few notes then continues. “You just gotta follow that sidewalk up to Building One. Take a left, go forward, and then on your left again should be the building.”

Flash thanked the guard, and before they could head for Building One, Spike spoke to the guard. “I can’t believe you actually get to work here. Is this the best job in the world? Do you know the Human Bunch?”

“Spike, can you fold your wings? They’re in my space.” Flash complained

The guard then spoke up. “You know, sometimes at night when I’m the only worker here, I see those four kids riding around in their little cars. Laughing and singing.”

“Really?” Spike asked a tad nervous.

“He’s playing with you Spike.” Flash assured him. Then they started heading for the Building One Gym. “Are you excited Spike?” Flash asked.

“I really wanna meet Sarah.” Spike replied. “Hey Smolder, did you ever dream of meeting the Human Bunch?”

“No, not really, but this should be a little interesting.”

They arrived at Building One & noticed a whole bunch of people and ponies have shown up to see the show. Twilight then saw a familiar looking unicorn stallion in a red robe, and realized it was Chancellor Neighsay. “Neighsay!?”

“Twilight Sparkle? Well, long time no see. What brings you here?” Neighsay asked.

“We’re here to celebrate Spikes birthday.”

“Well happy birthday Spike.”

“Thanks.” Spike said.

“So you’re Princess Twilight and Spike the Brave and Glorious? It’s great to finally meet you in person.” Spike and Twilight turned to see a white unicorn mare with an aqua mane, and a wand for a cutie mark.

“Oh by the way guys this is my marefriend; Poppy.” Neighsay introduced.

“It’s nice to meet you Poppy.” Twilight said. “Are you here to see the show to?”

“Oh yes. I’ve been watching the show since it first began airing. I really can’t wait to see them perform live.” After Poppy said that a woman came out of the building with a clipboard.

“Hello everyone, I’m Barb and I’ll be your guide. So who’s excited to see the Human Bunch?” Everyone in the crowd cheered. “Well sit tight because we’re about to have a groovy time!” The crowd groaned at the awful statement. “I know, they make me say it. Anyway, while we’re inside please have your phones on silent as to not disturb the others.”

As Barb finished explaining, everyone heard a honk. They turned to see the Human Bunch arrive in a car with Beegle driving. Spike was so excited to see them he didn’t notice he was in the center of the road. Luckily Beegle noticed Spike and stopped the car just before it could hit him. “Spike!” Twilight shouted, getting Spike out of the road before the Human Bunch drove off. “What the Hell were you thinking!? You have to be more careful than that!” Twilight said.

“Sarah wouldn’t hurt me. She’s my favorite.” Spike said. He then turned to Smolder. “Hey, Smolder. Which one is your favorite?”

“I’m gonna have to say the boy in the red shirt.”

“You mean Jason?” Spike asked.

“Yeah, that’s who I’m talking about.”

Twilight then sighed. “I can’t believe he just ran out like that.” She then turned to Flash who was on his phone, obviously unaware of what had happened. “Flash?”

“Huh?” Flash asked, not taking his eyes off the phone. Twilight gets irritated and snatches his phone from him. “Hey, I need that! That’s work!”

“Spike was almost hit by a Bunch Buggy.” Twilight pointed out.

Flash looked at Spike. “Well, that would’ve been an embarrassing way to die.” Twilight face-hoofed and turned away.

(Human Bunch Breakroom)

Beegle, Jason, Mikey, and Sarah are drinking some soda while getting ready for the show. Finally Jason broke the silence. “Did you guys see what I saw?” He asked

“Yeah, it was Spike, Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy, Smolder and Flash Sentry.” Beegle answered. “I didn’t know that characters from our favorite show were fans of ours.”

“Yeah, although there was someone else in that crowd that looked familiar.” Mikey pointed out.

Jason knew exactly who it was. “It’s that racist bastard Neighsay. The same unicorn who mistreated the young six and leader of the E.E.A.” Truth be told, the Human Bunch was extremely aware of the trouble Neighsay had caused.

“I also saw a familiar looking white Alicorn in the crowd” Sarah said.

“Shit! It’s that heartless whore of a mare; Princess Celestia!” Jason snapped. “I thought she retired after turning Tirek, Cozy Glow, and Chrysalis to stone.”

“Well what do we do?” Beegle asked.

Jason thought for a moment, then decided. “I’ll tell you what we’ll do. We’ll make sure this is the last show she’ll ever see.”

Mikey walked back into the room. “I just got word that Celestia’s not the only one here. Luna and Discord are here as well.”

“Even better!” Jason shouted. We’ll make Celestia, Luna and Discord pay for what they did to Tirek, Chrysalis and Cozy Glow. Especially Cozy Glow!” They began to cackle. Sarah doing more of a giggle. But they were interrupted when their manager came in.

“Alright kids, the show will begin in 15 minutes so get ready.” He said

“I’ll be with you guys shortly.” Jason promised. “I got some thinking to do...”

Ch.3 The Show

(Backstage)

A woman named Rebecca walked down the hallway. She was making sure that the staff would be ready for the show, then Beegle, Mikey & Sarah walked by. She noticed Jason wasn’t with them. “Where’s Jason?” She then activated her walkie talkie. “Does anyone have a 20 on Jason? No? Dammit! Just perfect!” She continued down the hall, when the manager; Ben, started following her.

“Rebecca?” He said. “Rebecca, you have a minute?”

“No, the show’s about to start and I’m a kid short.” Rebecca replied

“Well I was gonna do this gently, but since you’re in a rush, I’m canceling the show.”

“...What!?” Rebecca asked.

Ben shrugged “Yeah you’ve probably heard about my promotion this morning.”

“No I haven’t I’ve been busy”

“Oh have you?” Ben asked. “Well guess what? I’m the vice president of the program now, and the Human Bunch doesn’t really go with my idea of a bright future.”

“Are you kidding!? We’re still a huge hit!”

“Maybe, but it’s childish and stupid. I mean the stars are damn kids for God’s sake. I want to do something cool and cheesy, so today’s your last show.” Ben responded.

“But we have tapings lined up for 3 weeks.” Rebecca pointed out.

Ben leaned forward. “Not anymore.” He then turned and walked away. Afterwards Rebecca walked to the breakroom and saw Jason sitting and writing.

“Somebody find Cal and tell him to get Jason on stage.” She said into the Walkie Talkie. She then walked away, unaware that Jason had been listening.

(Show Stage)

Barb and her agent walked out onto the stage and greeted the audience. “Hello everybody and welcome to the Human Bunch!” She said as the audience cheered. “Now, I want you all to check your tickets because we have an extra treat for some of you. If you have any stars on the back, you’re in luck. You get to stay after the show and meet the Human Bunch!”

“And Stevie” her agent whispered to her.

“And Stevie. Don’t forget Stevie.” Barb said

“Twilight hurry up!” Spike said, eager to check the tickets.

“I know Spike I’m checking.”

Then out of nowhere they heard a familiar voice. “YES! We got the the stars sister!” Twilight recognized that voice. It was Celestia, sitting between Discord and Luna.

“Celestia!” Twilight exclaimed. Happy to see her mentor.

“Twilight! My faithful student, how have you been?”

“Great! We’re celebrating Spike’s birthday. Oh yeah! That’s right, the tickets!” Twilight said as she reached into her saddlebags. Neighsay and Poppy just checked their tickets and saw that they have stars.

“Oh my God! Neighsay…”

“Poppy, we are gonna meet the bunch!” Neighsay said then kissing Poppy. Twilight then pulled out the tickets, and to Spike’s disappointment, they had no stars. Spike sighed in disappointment.

“It’s okay Spike.” Twilight said. Fluttershy felt a little bad for Spike. She then looked to her left to see Barb talking with her agent. Seeing this, Fluttershy started to think and came up with an idea. The camera crew then started filming.

The announcer then spoke. “Tidal Wave Studios Presents; The Human Bunch!” The audience cheers. “Starring: Beegle,” Beegle walks onto the stage through a door, waving at the audience. “Sarah,” Sarah slides into the stage bumping into Beegle. “Mikey,” Mikey swings on a rope knocking Sarah and Beegle to the ground as the audience laughs. “Jason!” Jason doesn’t appear on stage. “Jason!” The announcer repeats but Jason still doesn’t appear. “Jason?” Backstage Stevie was on a tricycle holding a lollipop next to Rebecca.

“Where the Hell is he!?” Stevie asked.

“Just go out there and say Jason got stuck in Mr. Walker’s fence again.” Rebecca replied.

The announcer continued, “And featuring; Stevie!” Stevie opens the door and rides his tricycle onto the stage next to Beegle, Sarah, & Mikey, then waves at the audience.

“Is that a grown man dressed like a child?” Flash asked Spike.

“That’s Stevie. Nobody really likes him.” Spike responded.

Stevie then turned to the bunch. “Guys, we have to get Jason out of mister Walkers fence. Again.” The audience laughs at that comment and cheers as Stevie and the bunch waves at them.

“Our first scene will begin in a few minutes folks! Sit tight.” Fluttershy then got up and turned to Twilight.

“Twilight, I hope you don’t mind. I have something to do.” She said

“Don’t be long.” Twilight said as Fluttershy walked off. Then a couple of 10 year olds are on stage running the slimy time challenge. They run through an obstacle course avoiding slime and pies thrown by the Human Bunch.

“Twilight, I need to check in with Shining Armor.” Flash told Twilight.

“Really? It’s Spike’s birthday.”

“Don’t worry, it’s just real quick.” Flash assured her

“Can’t you go one day without thinking of work? Besides your not supposed to have your phone out.” Twilight pointed out.

“I’ll just go to the restroom and use it there.”

“Okay, just don’t take too long.” Twilight said.

When the obstacle course was over, Rebecca was backstage looking for Stevie. “For the love of God, where is Stevie? He’s in the next scene.” She then turned to Barb and told her to go look for Stevie. Barb nodded and walked off.

(Stevie’s Dressing Room)

Barb knocked on the door to Stevie’s room. “Stevie?” She walked in to see Stevie drinking beer. “Are you drunk?” she asked.

“No, I’m buzzed.” He responded. “After this, I’ll be drunk.” He said as he pointed to his drink. “Want some?”

“Come on, we need you on set!”

“Come on, have a drink with me.” Stevie responded

“Stevie, seriously! We need-”

“They waited for the kids. They can wait for me.” Stevie interrupted. He then took a sip of his drink. “You know, that uniform of yours is really working out for you. It’s working for me to.” Barb was not amused. Then Fluttershy entered the room.

“Um, excuse me.” She said

“Ma’am I’m not signing any autographs right now.” Stevie interrupted

“Um, okay, but I was actually wanting to talk to Barb.” Fluttershy responded. Stevie set down his cup and pushed both Barb and Fluttershy out of his room.

“Tell Rebecca I will be there soon, right on que! As always!” Stevie said and then slammed the door shut.

“I’m sorry if I got you into any trouble.” Fluttershy apologized.

“Nah, it’s nothing. It’s just that one of our performers is a big dick.” Barb answered as they walked down the hallway. She then turned to Fluttershy. “Y-You’re from the audience. You’re not supposed to be back here.”

“I know and I’m sorry. It’s just that it’s my friend’s birthday, and he’s crazy about the show, but we didn’t get stars on our tickets. I was hoping I could pay you to let us meet the bunch.” Fluttershy asked.

Barb thought for a moment. “If it means that much for your friend, I’ll see what I can do.”

“Thanks.” Fluttershy said. They both started walking back to the audience area.

Stevie was getting ready for the next scene. He put on a golden tuxedo, and looked in the mirror. “Showtime bitches.” He said before taking one last sip of his drink and throwing the glass away. He then exits the dressing room and walks by Ben’s office. Then he hears Ben talking on the phone.

“Glenn, I told you to stop. The show is canceled.” Ben said. “Yes, I told Rebecca and she was pissed. Ask me if I care. Of course I don’t! This show takes up more than 2 stages. Not to mention what we can do with all the tech we have. As for those kids, we’re going to sell them. The Human Bunch is done, it’s my call! Oh and one more thing: LIVE WITH IT!!!” He said before hanging up. Stevie was glad to hear this. Truth be told, he hated his job, hated the disrespect he got for acting, and worst of all: he hated those 4 kids he worked with. He walked off smiling. Ben laughed, happy that they were finally going to do a show his way, but suddenly: “THUMP!” Ben could’ve sworn he heard that outside the office window. He got up and walked towards it slowly. As soon as he reached the window, the office door slammed shut. He turned towards the door. “HEY!” He shouted. Then he walked over to the door to open it, but it was locked. “ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?” Ben said. “WHAT THE HELL’S GOING ON!?!?” He then heard that noise near his window again and walked toward it. When he got there he reached for the curtain and pulled it open, and what he saw startled him. Mikey was right outside the window staring at Ben. He suddenly felt something grab him by the arm and was pulled away.

(Show Stage)

The show was almost over and Jason and Mikey brought a spinning wheel onto the stage. The audience cheers and Stevie arrives on stage. “Hey everybody!” He greeted. “It’s time to spin… the Wheel of Endings!” The audience cheers again.

“I wonder how the show’s gonna end?” Mikey said

Spike turns to Smolder. “It’s gonna land on ‘Rock Out.’ they always land on that.” He told her. Stevie turns to Jason.

“Why don’t you spin it Jason?” Stevie asked. Then he walks over to Jason and whispers, “It might be the last time you ever do!” and smiles.

Jason was silent for a moment. Then he turned to Stevie. “Okay Stevie.” He said. Jason then put his hand on the wheel and started spinning it.

The audience began to chant, “Rock Out! Rock Out! Rock Out! Rock Out!” The wheel spun for 12 seconds until it landed on ‘Rock Out’. The audience cheers as Stevie and the Human Bunch got their instruments and started singing.

Tra la la, tra la la la
Tra la la, tra la la la

One kiddo, two kiddo, three kiddo, four

Four kiddos make a total many more

Over hill and highway, the bunch buggies go

Come along to bring you the Human Bunch show

Picking up our mess of fun

Picking up our mess of fun

Lots of fun for everyone

Tra la la, tra la la la
Tra la la, tra la la la

As the song continued Fluttershy and Flash returned to the audience section. “Where have you been?” Twilight asked Fluttershy.

“You’ll see.” Fluttershy answered as the audience continued to sing along. Then when Stevie was close to Jason, Jason spun and tripped Stevie with his guitar. The audience laughed.

Spike saw this and turned to Twilight. “It seemed on purpose. Jason would never hurt anybody on purpose.” He told her.

“I’m sure it’s just part of the show Spike.” Twilight assured him. The Human Bunch continued their song as Stevie layed on the ground groaning. When the song was over, the kids bowed.

“Give it up for The Human Bunch!” The announcer says as everyone cheers. “And don’t forget Stevie!” Stevie sits up and waves to the cheering audience as he leaves the stage along with the Bunch. Barb then entered the stage with her agent.

“Thank you for coming everyone.” Barb said. “If you have stars on your tickets sit tight, and the rest of you, Doug will show you out.” She says as she pointed to her agent. The audience (excluding Neighsay, Poppy, Celestia, Luna, & Discord) got up and started to follow Doug.

“Are you excited?” Poppy asked Neighsay.

“I sure am.” Neighsay responded

Before Twilight, Spike, Flash, Fluttershy & Smolder could leave Barb stopped them. “Where do you think you’re going?” She asked.

“We don’t have stars on our tickets.” Spike answered.

“Do you really think the Human Bunch wouldn’t want to meet their biggest fan on his birthday?” Barb asked him. Spike looked at Twilight in surprise.

“How did you know?” Twilight asked. After a bit of silence, Twilight and Flash turned to Fluttershy.

“I may have talked to her about it.” Fluttershy answered.

“Well then let’s meet them.” Flash said.

“Follow me.” said Barb. When everyone else was following Barb, Flash checked his phone.

“Uh, I’ll be right behind you.” Flash said before walking off. What can be so important to Flash right now?

Ch.4 Meeting the Bunch

(Outside Stevie’s Dressing Room)

Stevie was drinking more beer, glad that the show will be ending soon. After a few minutes he saw the 4 kids of the Human Bunch. “Well, well, well. Look who it is; my partners.” The kids stopped when they heard Stevie and turned to him. “I was just drinking a toast to our cancelation.”

“What?” Jason asked.

Stevie walked over to Jason. “The shows done.” He said. “Because the network thinks you suck. You’ll never perform in front of an audience ever again!”

“Well, what are we supposed to do now?” Beegle asked.

“Leave.” Stevie answered. “Ben was going to sell you little shits anyway.” The kids were appalled. Stevie raised his bottle of beer. “Cheers to you. I hated every second of working with you assholes.” He then took another sip and walked to his dressing room and shut the door.

“Now what do we do?” Mikey asked.

Jason’s eyes turned red as he said: “Looks like 3 ponies and a draconequus aren’t the only things we’ll finish tonight!”

(Inside Stevie’s Dressing Room)

Stevie continued to drink as he looked in the mirror. ‘I sure am glad to finally be rid of those $%&king kids.’ He thought. Suddenly he heard footsteps, so he turned to look. Jason was standing next to the calender with his arms crossed. “You gotta be kidding me!” Stevie said. Jason just stood there as Stevie walked up to him and stared him in the eyes. “Get the Hell out of here!” He said. Jason did not respond. Stevie took a drink of his beer, sloshed it around in his mouth, and after a bit, he spit the beer in Jason’s face. Jason didn’t even flinch. Stevie continued to glare at Jason. “Goddamn kids!” He said before wiping his mouth with his hand and walking back to the mirror continuing to drink. Jason had had enough. He reached for the counter and picked up a meter stick (ruler). Stevie sat down his drink and looked in the mirror. He saw Jason right behind him in the reflection so he turned around. The moment he did, Jason grabbed Stevie by the chin, raised the ruler and plunged it down Stevie’s throat. Jason shoved it down further causing Stevie to choke. Blood started pouring out of his mouth, as Jason stared into his soul. With one final push, the ruler goes deeper. Stevie then choked one more time, and died.

(Backstage Area)

Barb led Twilight, Celestia, Neighsay and the others through the backstage area. “The show first aired in 2017. It was the most popular kids show since, anybody know what show?”

“Well duh!” Neighsay said. “Ben 10 of course.”

While Barb was discussing the shows history, Twilight turned to Fluttershy. “This was a sweet thing you did for Spike.” She told her.

Fluttershy blushed. “Well it was the least I could do for Spike. Considering his brother in law doesn’t really want to be with him on his birthday. He’d rather be at work.”

“That’s not true, Flash so wants to be with us.” Twilight objected.

“Then where is he?” Fluttershy asked. Twilight looked around and realized Fluttershy was right. Flash wasn’t with them.

“You stay with Spike and Smolder. I’m gonna go looking for Flash.” Twilight said as she walked off. A minute later, the lights suddenly went out.

“Don’t worry everyone, I’m sure it’s just-” but Barb was interrupted when the lights came back on revealing the 4 kids. “-the Human Bunch!” Everyone was excited to see them, and they clapped. “If you all get in a line I can make sure you get pictures with the Bunch.” Neighsay and Poppy moved up to Sarah and Jason as Barb got here camera ready. After the pictures were taken, Neighsay and Poppy moved away from the Bunch. Then Neighsay noticed a red liquid on Poppy’s cheek.

“What’s on your cheek?” Neighsay asked. Poppy rubbed it off with her hoof to look at it.

“Huh. I’m not sure. It must’ve rubbed off of Jason.”

“I bet it’s strawberry from the sloppy time game of the show.” Neighsay said as he licked it off his hoof. “Nope, that’s not strawberry. I don’t know what that is.”

Discord turned to Fluttershy. “I hope do don’t mind Fluttershy but I’m going to go with Celestia and Luna to look around for a while.”

“That’s okay.” Fluttershy answered. Discord, Celestia and Luna started walking away. Barb noticed.

“Hey wait! You’re not supposed to go back there.” She said as she started following them.

“Come on Poppy, we should probably explore a little to.” Neighsay said. Then they ran off leaving Fluttershy, Spike and Smolder alone with the Human Bunch. Spike saw that Barb was gone and she was the only one with a camera.

“What about our pictures?” Spike asked Fluttershy

“I’m sure she’ll be back soon, besides this is kind of cool, you have the Bunch all to yourselves.”

Spike knew Fluttershy was right. He turned to Smolder. “Come on!” He said as they walked up to the Bunch. “Hi! I’m Spike and this is my friend Smolder.”

“Sup?” Smolder said. They looked at Jason and noticed the beer in his face.

“Why is Jason all wet?” Spike asked. Jason turned to face Spike and Smolder.

“You don’t have to introduce yourselves. We know who you are.” Jason said. “We’ve seen all the amazing things you’re done.”

“Really? That’s awesome!” Spike said. Jason raised his hand in front of Smolder for a Hi-Five. Smolder gladly gave it to him. Spike then looked around and noticed that Sarah was gone. “Where’s Sarah?” Spike asked. Little did Spike and Smolder know that Fluttershy was also gone.

(Outside the Building)

It was 10PM and Flash was on his phone talking to his partner; Flower Petal. “Look, it’s my brother in law’s birthday, I can’t come right now. There’s nothing I can do I’m sorry.” As Flash finished the phone call Twilight came through the door.

“Hey!” She said. “What are you doing out here? I’ve been looking all over for you.”

“Uh, I told you I had to call in the office. There’s some stuff going down.” Flash said.

“You mean Flower Petal working on a Saturday?” Twilight asked.

“Uh I didn’t say Flower Petal. Why would you say that?” Flash asked nervously.

“Because she’s your partner, who’s always in the office.”

“R-Right! Yes, that’s it.” Flash said as Twilight nodded. “Um are we… are we ready to go yet?”

“Yep. You wanna come with me and I’ll get the others? Twilight asked.

“Yeah okay.” When Flash passed Twilight, she took his phone with her magic and started to look at it. “Twilight wait! No! Please Twilight wait!” Twilight turned on the phone, and what she saw shocked her. Pictures of Flower Petal in bed.

“Oh my God.” Twilight said.

“I can explain.”

“Flash, how can you explain this?” Twilight sighed. “You slept with her?” Flash was silent. “I can’t believe this.” Twilight said sadly.

“I swear it was just one time.” Flash promised.

“There’s hundreds of these of you sleeping with your partner! God, you’re such a cliche.” Twilight said clearly upset.

“It was too good to be true.” A new voice said. Flash and Twilight turned to see Fluttershy. “I always knew you were a scumbag!”

“You watch your mouth!” Flash said.

“Fluttershy go back in-” Twilight started but was interrupted by Fluttershy.

“You know, Twilight stands up for you, defends you and tells everyone to give you a chance, and the whole time you’ve been cheating on her!? I should just-”

“You should what, bunny filly?” Flash asked.

“Okay stop! Just stop!” Twilight said.

“You know what?” Flash asked Fluttershy. You’re just a 20 year old animal fooler. You’re just like-”

“Okay maybe you should-”

“Okay! STOP! STOP! Go back inside okay?” Twilight asked Fluttershy then turns to Flash. “This is between us.”

“Us?” Flash asked. “Twilight, there’s never been an ‘us’! There was always you, then Spike, then Nyx. Us? What a joke!” Twilight looked at Flash in sadness, eyes about to tear up. “You know what? You get the kids, I’ll be waiting by the portal, okay?” Flash walked off. Twilight sniffled. She was about to go after him but Fluttershy stopped her.

“Twilight stop please.”

“He’s a dick.” Twilight said.

“I know.” Fluttershy said. Twilight shed a few tears and sighed.

“You know what? Let’s just go get Spike and Smolder, okay?” Twilight asked.

“Okay.” They went back inside to get Spike and Smolder.

Flash was walking down the path and started to call Flower Petal. “Hey Petal. Yeah the night’s free now.” Little did he know that a certain 16 year old girl was nearby watching him.

Ch.5 Beegle's 'Magic Trick'

(Beegle’s Magic Stage)

Neighsay and Poppy were together exploring the studio. They couldn’t believe they were actually interacting with the stuff from the show. “Can you see what’s in here? There’s Beegle’s magic kit and Magician outfit.” Neighsay said.

“I know it’s amazing!” Poppy said. Poppy then went ahead to look at more stuff.

‘I think now’s the time.’ Neighsay thought. He pulled out his phone and press record on the camera, then he pulled out a small box and opened it. Inside was a ring. Neighsay then kneeled down holding the ring up. “Hey Poppy.” He said. Poppy turned and saw the ring.

Poppy couldn’t believe her eyes. “Neighsay, no!” She said in shock and joy.

“Poppy, I love you so much, and I can’t think of a better place than this. Will you marry me?” He asked.

“Neighsay, yes!” Poppy squealed

Neighsay turned his phone around. “She said yes folks! We’re getting married!” Poppy cried tears of joy as she hugged Neighsay. Neighsay used his magic to place the ring on Poppy’s horn. He then lifted the phone to get both him and Poppy into the frame. While he was filming he saw that someone was behind them walking toward them. It was Beegle.

“What the Hell?” Neighsay asked. He and Poppy then turned to see Beegle coming up to them. “Beegle?” Neighsay and Poppy walked to him.

“We just got engaged!” Poppy told Beegle as she showed him the ring on her horn.

“I can see that.” Beegle said. He then notices Neighsay’s phone and takes it.

“Hey.” Neighsay said. Beegle put the phone in a bag and then pulled a wand out of his pocket.

“Abracadabra!” Beegle shouted. He then started hitting the bag with the wand.

“What the Hell kid?!” Neighsay said.

“Neighsay relax. I think he’s just doing a magic trick.” Poppy assured him

Beegle then stopped hitting the bag, opened it up and emptied it. Shattered phone parts fell out. “What are you doing?” Neighsay asked a little pissed. Beegle then put down his bag and wand and walked over to Neighsay and started pushing him. “Hey!” Beegle then put Neighsay in a red wooden box. “Poppy! W-What’s going on!?” Neighsay said with worry as Poppy kept calling his name. “Let me out!” He shouted. Beegle then picked up a razor blade causing Poppy to scream. Neighsay was panting now, he didn’t know what was happening.

“Please let him out! Please!” Poppy begged Beegle. Beegle then began to hold her back. “No! Please! No, let him out please!” Beegle brought the blade to the crack in the middle of the box. “Neighsay! Neighsay No!”

Neighsay couldn’t see what was going on. He started panting faster. “What’s going on? Let me out.” He said as Poppy continued to struggle. “LET ME OUT!!!” Neighsay shouted.

“NO! NO!” Poppy screamed as Beegle put the tip of the blade in the crack. Neighsay began to feel something touch his torso.

“What’s going on!? STOP!!!” He shouted while Poppy continued to scream. Beegle pushed the blade deeper. Neighsay exclaimed in pain. What felt like a small pinch a bit ago now felt like spikes were boring into his stomach. Beegle raised the blade a little, showing some blood was now on it.

“Neighsay!” Poppy was crying now. As Beegle pushed the blade back down, the sound of bones splitting was heard. Neighsay began to cough up blood. “NOOOOOO!!!!!!” Poppy screamed. “PLEASE DON’T LEAVE ME, PLEASE!!!” She begged Neighsay to stay awake. Finally, with one final push, Beegle got the entire blade in the box. “NOOOOOOO!!!!!!! Poppy screamed as Neighsay coughed up a little more blood then laid motionless. Beegle finally let go of Poppy and went to the other side of the box. He started pulling it, and as he did, not only did the blade fall out but so did some of Neighsay’s intestines. Poppy shrieked at the gory sight and continued to cry as blood poured out of Neighsay’s lifeless body like a water hose.

“TA-DAAAAAAAA!” Beegle said as Poppy kept crying. He then walked over to Poppy.

“NO! NO! PLEASE! STOP! GET OFF OF ME!!!” She screamed as Beegle attempted to grab her. Poppy then while squirming swung her head. Her horn cut into Beegle’s left arm.

“AHH!” Beegle shouted. Poppy kept looking at him in fear. Beegle put his other hand on the wound and then looked at the blood on his hand. “Oh you don’t know when to quit, do ya?” He asked clearly pissed. He was about to attack Poppy when he heard a familiar voice.

“Sarah?” The voice asked. Beegle turned then looked back at Poppy.

“You’re very lucky bitch!” He said before walking away. Poppy couldn’t move. She stayed next to Neighsay’s corpse and continued to cry. Beegle exited the magic stage and saw two familiar looking dragons; Spike and Smolder.

“Beegle!” Spike said in excitement as he and Smolder walked up to him. “Do you know where Sarah is?” He asked him.

“As a matter in fact, I do.” Beegle said as he offered both his hands to the dragons. “Come with me and I’ll take you to her.” Smolder took Beegle’s Right hand, and Spike was about to do the same with his left hand, but he noticed the wound on his arm.

“B-Beegle… what’s with your arm?” Spike asked nervously.

“It’s nothing okay?” Beegle responded. “I just got cut. Don’t worry, it’ll heal.”

“Okay Beegle, let’s go.” Spike said as he took Beegle’s left hand. They began to walk to find Sarah. Along the way Spike spots the mail box from the show. “Hey Smolder! I dare you to open that. Unless you’re scared.”

“Scared? Ha! Don’t make me laugh.” She then turned to Beegle. “May I?”

“Be my guest.” Beegle answered. Smolder slowly reached for the handle, grabbed it, and quickly pulled it open… and nothing happened.

“Was something supposed to happen?” Smolder asked Spike.

“Whenever Jason opens it letters fly out.” Spike explained

Smolder looked inside. ‘Well, uh, there’s nothing here.” She pointed out.

“Whatever, let’s just go find Sarah.” Spike said as he raised the staff Rarity gave him. Beegle was stunned by it as they continued.

(Main Stage Area)

Twilight and Fluttershy were sitting together talking about Flash. Mainly how Twilight always thought he was a great guy when really, he’s a selfish jerk. They were about to continue when they heard a familiar voice. “Twilight!” They turned to see Luna, Rebecca and Barb.

“What’s going on? Where are the others?” Twilight asked.

“We don’t know, we lost them. Including Celestia.” Luna answered.

Twilight turned to Barb. “Barb! Go call 911!” Barb left to find a phone. Twilight then turned to Fluttershy. “We have to find Spike and Smolder.” She said.

(Mikey’s Jungle Area)

“Spike? Smolder?” Twilight and Fluttershy looked up and down for their friends, but couldn’t find them. “Come on! Hurry!” Twilight said as they entered an area filled with fake jungle plants. “Spike? Smolder? Spike?” Then they stopped dead in their tracks when they heard the sound of thumping. “What’s that noise?” Twilight asked.

“Mikey.” Fluttershy answered. Suddenly, Mikey bungee jumped and grabbed Fluttershy causing her to scream. Twilight turned to see Fluttershy was gone.

“Fluttershy!?” She began to panic as she looked around. “FLUTTERSHY!?” This time she heard Fluttershy’s voice above her.

“Twilight run! Get out of here!” Twilight looked up to see Mikey holding Fluttershy on a metal platform. She wasn’t about to give up her friend, so she started flapping her wings. Mikey threw Fluttershy onto the platform and began to approach her as she backed up.

“Time’s almost up!” Mikey said.

“For you!” Twilight said as she delivered a blow to Mikey’s head, then pushed him over the railing for him to fall to the ground. As Mikey fell, his right arm got caught on a hook causing it to be ripped off. After Mikey landed, Twilight and Fluttershy looked at each other and hugged. “Let’s go!” Twilight said. They got down from the platform and ended up at Beegle’s Magic Stage. Fluttershy gasped at the sight before them. “Oh my God!” Twilight said. Poppy was still with Neighsay’s cut in half corpse sobbing.

“He asked me to marry him.” Poppy said.

“I’m so sorry.” Twilight apologized. “I’m looking for my brother and his friend. Have you seen them?”

“B-Beegle took them.”

“What!? Where? Where did they go?” Twilight asked worriedly. Poppy didn’t answer. “Listen, it isn’t safe here, you have to come with us okay?

“I won’t leave Neighsay.” Poppy sobbed

“I know how you feel.” Twilight assured her. “He wouldn’t want anything bad to happen to you.” Poppy looked at Twilight, tears still in her eyes. “You have to come with us now!” Poppy looked at Neighsay, and while sniffling she hugged him one more time before joining Twilight and Fluttershy.

(Human Bunch Breakroom)

“What is this place?” Smolder asked.

“This must be where they hang out when they’re not working.” Spike said. He then turned to Beegle. “Is Sarah in here?” He asked. Beegle nodded. Spike and Smolder walked up to an open chain door. “I don’t see Sarah.” Spike said. Suddenly, Beegle came behind the two dragons, pushed them into the cage and locked it. “What the!?” Spike exclaimed.

“Enjoy your stay here my friends.“ Beegle said smirking. “And even try to bust out! This cage is made of the strongest metal around.” Beegle then began to walk away.

“What just happened?” Smolder asked.

“We’ve been tricked.”

Ch.6 Motivations

(Outside Building One, 1AM)

Flash was standing by a dumpster looking at his phone. Since his argument with Twilight and Fluttershy, he was waiting for them to pick up Spike and Smolder and it’s been 2 hours since then. “What in Celestia’s name is taking those mares so long?” He asked nobody in particular. “They’re probably mourning over what’s going on with Flower Petal. Well, it’s their loss.” He continued looking at his phone and waiting. Suddenly, Flash heard what sounded like a truck horn far away. “What the Hell?” He asked. Flash stepped away from the dumpster and following the noise. At first he couldn’t find anything, but just kept looking around. Suddenly, behind him, a light came on. Flash turned to see a car, not noticing that the driver was Sarah. Sarah began to move the car forward towards Flash. He realized what was happening and started running in the opposite direction. He was so surprised about what was going on that he dropped his phone. Sarah ran over it causing it to break. Flash was starting to pant and panic. He looked back to see that Sarah was 10 meters from him. “Help! Somebody help me!” Flash was whimpering now. “Why are you doing this to me!?” Flash continued to run until he reached a dead end blocked by a chain gate. He tried to push through but it wouldn’t budge. Flash looked behind him to see that Sarah was almost to him. He screamed and jumped to the side just in time for Sarah to smash through the gate. Flash took the opportunity to run back the way he came to get help. He looked around as he neared the exit of the studios. “HELP!!! THERE’S A PSYCHO TRYING TO RUN ME OVER!!!” He stopped to take a breathe, and looked to his left to see the guard from earlier that day with his back facing him. “Oh thank God!” Flash walked over to the guard who seemed unaware of his presence. “Hey, did you hear me?” Flash asked as he raised his hoof to tap the guards back. The moment he did, the guards head fell off and landed in his forehooves. Flash screamed at the sight of the disembodied head, not noticing Sarah coming right at him. In a snap, Flash got ran over.

(Human Bunch Breakroom)

Spike and Smolder were still trapped in that cage. Smolder was trying to pick the lock with claws, Spike was pacing trying to figure out exactly what was going on. They both heard footsteps coming their way. When they turned, they saw Jason dragging a one armed Mikey. Jason proceeded to put Mikey on the table, and put a metal cast where Mikey’s right arm used to be. He then pulled out a needle with a green liquid inside, and inserted it into Mikey’s remaining arm. “There. That should wake you up in half an hour.” Jason said. He then turned to see Spike and Smolder in the cage. “Well well well. My two favorite dragons trapped in a fireproof cage.”

“Why?” Spike asked.

“Beg your pardon?” Jason said.

“Why are you doing this?” Spike elaborated. “Why are you keeping us in here? I’m your biggest fan. What do you want from us?”

“All we want from you and your friends is to stay out of our way.” Jason answered.

Spike was confused. “Stay out of your way? For what?”

“Vengeance of course.” Jason said quite irritated. “Obviously, you want an explanation?” Spike and Smolder both nodded. “It all started last year. The same year the School of Friendship was opened. The Cutie Mark Crusaders were attempting to get enrolled into the school. During their failed attempts they met a pegasus filly named; Cozy Glow.”

“Wait! You know about Cozy to?” Smolder asked.

“SHUT UP AND LISTEN!!!” Jason yelled. “Cozy was Twilight’s best student. A natural, a kind and cute filly, a friend. That all changed after the ‘Disappearing Magic Incident.’ True, Cozy Glow was guilty of draining that magic, but she was just a filly. Cozy could have been given a chance for redemption, but did she get it? NO!!! Celestia had the gall to send a little kid to Tartarus forever!? I wanted her dead for that. Then Cozy, Tirek, Sombra and Chrysalis were summoned by who they thought was Grogar, but was really Discord in disguise. After Sombra was destroyed a second time, ‘Grogar’ sent the Legion of Doom to get his bell, and they succeeded. They were about to accept the magic of friendship, but they dismissed it. Afterwards, they formed their own plan to take over Equestria. They still failed even with Grogar’s bell. After they were stopped, Celestia could have finally done what she should have done and reformed them, but when Discord talked to her and Luna, what did they do?” Spike and Smolder didn’t answer. “WHAT DID THEY DO!?” Jason shouted causing Spike and Smolder to back away. “THEY TURNED THEM TO F#@KING STONE FOREVER!!!!!!!! They all had a chance for redemption, but did Celestia let them have it!? F#@K NO!!! They basically killed those three! SERIOUSLY!? After reforming villains that did worse things than them, they’re gonna turn them to stone permanently!? If anyone should have been punished like that it’s Discord! He’s the one who started this mess in the first place!” Spike and Smolder were shocked at this explanation.

“So, wait. You and your friends are keeping us trapped in here because you believe we’ll stop you from delivering vengeance on Celestia, Luna and Discord for turning 3 villains they could have spared into stone?” Spike asked.

“Well... yes.” Jason answered.

“Well, what if we give them another chance now?” Smolder asked.

“Oh no no! It’s too late for that. They should have done it when they had the chance. They’re going to suffer the same fate as Neighsay did.”

Spike and Smolder gasped. “N-Neighsay is d-dead?” Spike stammered.

“Of course he’s dead, my friend Beegle sawed him in half right in front of his fiance. And they were just engaged to.” Spike began to tear up and went over to the end the cage to get closer to Jason.

“Jason please. Let us out of here. We’ll let Cozy go! We won’t tell anyone what you did, just please let us go!” Spike begged.

Jason sighed. “I’m sorry Spike, but I’m afraid I can’t do that. I can’t trust you to keep any secrets or do what you said you would. After we finish Celestia, Luna and Discord, we will send you and your friends back to Equestria unharmed, and don’t do anything to make us regret sparing you.”

Smolder looked at Spike, then turned to Jason. “Sorry pal, but you made me do this.”

“Do what?” Jason asked. He got his answer when Smolder took a deep breath. “Oh shit.” Jason muttered. Smolder breathed fire through the open chains of the cage towards Jason. Jason’s face caught fire instantly. “AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!” Jason screamed as he fell to the ground. Smolder then finally picked the lock on the cage.

“Come on! Run!” Spike said as they escaped the cage. After the fire went out, Jason slowly got up. He turned and saw his face in the mirror. It was completely burnt to a crisp. Jason put a hand on his face. It had a leathery feel to it. As he gazed at his reflection, rage boiled inside Jason’s heart. His favorite dragons he’d ever known had did this to him.

“Those stupid reptiles!” Jason said to himself. “Grrrr! I’ll get them later! I have a moon princess to slaughter.”

Ch.7 We Have to Stop Them

(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.

Ch.8 The Final Battle

(Dark Halls)

After a long night of searching for their friends and witnessing terrible deaths, Twilight, Fluttershy and Barb were nearing the end of their quest. All they had to do was find Spike and Smolder, then get out. Upon entering the dark underground hallway, Fluttershy noticed that Poppy wasn’t with them. “Where’s Poppy?” She asked. “She was right behind us.”

“She’ll catch up. We have to find Spike and Smolder.” Twilight knew that it was a long shot, but she was more focused on finding her little brother. The two ponies and woman continued down the halls. The lights were flickering, corners were covered with webs. Fluttershy could barely continue on. It was quiet. The only sound was coming from their hoof/foot steps. Maybe it was a little too quiet. The three trudged on and on, until Barb slipped and fell backward. While she was down, she saw something horrific. Her agent; Doug was lying on the ground, dead. Drumsticks impaling both his eye sockets. The sight caused Barb to scream. Fluttershy and Twilight quickly turned and helped Barb up. They looked at the dead Doug with shock.

“What are those things in his eyes?” Twilight asked.

“M-Mikey’s drumsticks!” Fluttershy answered.

“I-It’s Doug, my agent.” Barb told the two ponies. “I sent him out with the rest of the audience.” Twilight thought for a moment, then she lit up her horn revealing dozens of corpses. A woman had her throat slit. A stallion had both his eyes gouged out and was hung with his own intestines. It was an unbearable sight. Twilight noticed something about the dead bodies: they were all adults.

“Where are the children?” She asked. Five seconds after she asked, the sound of kids screaming was heard. “Let’s go!” They began to follow the screaming.

(Underground Stage)

Twilight, Fluttershy and Barb continued down the hall following the screaming. Finally, they found a large room filled with objects from the show, from a mailbox to cartoon styled walls. They hid behind a pile of junk and took a peek. The children were all there, chained to the bleachers. Boys, girls, fillies and colts were stuck, watching the terrifying sight in front of them. On stage was Beegle. Twilight quickly noticed the scar around his eye. “There they are!” Fluttershy whispered. “But where’s Spike and Smolder?” Next, the sound of knocking was heard and Beegle turned to the sound.

“Well, who could that be?” Beegle asked as he walked over to a metal door. He opened it up, and what was there made the children scream again. It was Stevie. His bleeding corpse still had a ruler sticking out of his throat. He was on the tricycle from the performance earlier, and was pushed onto the stage by Jason. Twilight gasped at the sight.

“Look who I found!” Jason said. “It’s Stevie!” Beegle closed the door. “Ain’t it wonderful Stevie? All of our friends are here. Now the show can go on forever, and ever and ever!”

“They’re never gonna let them go. They’ll die in here!” Barb noted.

“We have to save those kids!” Twilight said. The three snuck their way through the room, heading for the bleachers. Halfway there, Twilight saw Jason push Stevie’s body toward a metal pipe Beegle was standing next to.

“Hey Stevie! Mail’s here!” Beegle said as he pulled a lever on the pipe. Flames flew out, incinerating Stevie’s corpse, causing the kids to scream. Twilight could only watch in horror as they approached the bleachers. When they finally got there, a filly noticed them. Twilight did the ‘shh’ sign to the filly and she nodded. Twilight began trying to break the chains with her wrench. While she was, Beegle grabbed a bucket of water and dumped it onto Stevie’s flaming body. All the kids were whimpering now. “Silly Stevie! Smoking’s bad for your health.” Twilight then heard the sound of footsteps. She looked over her hiding spot to see Sarah walking down the stairs with Spike and Smolder.

“Great job Sarah!” Jason said.

“Put them with our other friends.” Beegle told Sarah. Sarah sat Spike and Smolder down in the bleachers, then chained their legs to them.

“You can’t do this! You’re the Human Bunch!” Smolder tried to reason with the teenagers.

“Sorry, but the show must go on and somepony has to pay for her crimes.” Beegle told her. Sarah locked the cuffs around Spike and Smolder’s legs.

“Sarah, please don’t do this.” Spike begged silently. Sarah just looked at Spike for a moment. After a few seconds, Sarah opened Spike’s claw and put something in it. It was the key for the chains. Spike smiled at Sarah as she backed away.

“Children! It’s time to spin the new and improved… Wheel of Endings!” Beegle announced. Jason pulled a rope opening a curtain. What was revealed caused Twilight to gasp. It was a giant wooden spinning wheel with white marker text saying multiple things, but the worst part of it was who was attached to it. Celestia. Her hooves had been hammered down with nails to the wheel, Celestia’s horn was broken, and she was covered in blood. Twilight noticed that Celestia was breathing. She was alive.

“Celestia!” Twilight gasped. Jason heard her.

“Oh look guys! Princess Twilight is just in time for the ending of tonight’s show!” Twilight came out of her hiding spot and shot a beam towards the wheel…

...It did nothing.

“WHAT!?” Twilight shouted in confusion. Jason smirked.

“Nice try Sparkle! But we came prepared! We’re surrounded by a magic proof force-field! You can’t get through it!” Jason pointed out. “Now let’s spin the wheel!”

“T-Twilight… you have to go!” Celestia groaned. Jason then put his hand on the wheel and began to spin it. “W-Woooooaah!!!” The spinner stopped and Celestia’s broken horn landed on ‘Banana Split’.

“Banana Split!” Beegle shouted.

“Wh-what’s a banana split?” Celestia asked worriedly. “WHAT”S A BANANA SPLIT!?”

“What’s a banana split?” Smolder asked Spike.

“I don’t know! It always lands on ‘rock out’!” Beegle grabbed Celestia’s left foreleg and pulled it off the nail pinning her to the wheel. Celestia screamed in pain. Twilight continued to try to get through the force field, but no matter how hard she tried she couldn’t. Barb knew it was too late for Celestia.

“Everybody close your eyes! Close your eyes! DO NOT WATCH THIS!!!” Barb told the kids. All the children covered their eyes. Even Spike and Smolder looked away. Jason and Beegle continued to pull Celestia’s limbs of the nails, and she continued to scream. Spike started to unlock the chains. When Celestia was completely off the wheel, Jason pulled on her right foreleg and hindleg while Beegle pulled on her left foreleg and hindleg. Celestia was howling with complete agony now. Jason and Beegle pulled, and pulled and pulled. Finally, Celestia’s left foreleg was ripped off, followed by her right foreleg, left hindleg and right hindleg.

“NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!” Twilight screamed as Celestia’s lifeless body fell to the floor. “Celestia… no.” Twilight’s lifelong mentor was now gone, and she suffered. Twilight began to think. Neighsay, Luna, Celestia, many other lives. Gone. Because of these sick kids. Twilight knew what must be done. These sick teens had to be stopped, and to do that she’ll have to put them to sleep. It was that moment that Twilight began to light up her horn, and she summoned… five lined up megaphones? Jason and Beegle were equally confused. “Everyone cover your ears!” Twilight warned, and everyone did so. Twilight licked her lips and took a deep breath. “TEEEESTINNNNNNNNNNNNNNG!!!!!!!!!!!!” Jason and Beegle’s ears were bleeding at the noise. Suddenly, the force field surrounding them shattered.

“WHAT!?” Jason shouted. Then Spike unlocked the chains and the kids began to follow Barb and Fluttershy to the exit. Twilight then picked up her wrench and turned to Jason and Beegle. “Looks like we have one more life to take. It’s too bad. I really did like you Twilight.”

Twilight turned to Spike and Smolder. “Go now!” They began to run away, and Twilight turned to see Beegle walking towards her. “Come on you fuzzy son of a bitch!” she shouted. Beegle charged at Twilight, who then tripped him with the wrench. While Beegle was down Twilight started hitting him with the wrench. Jason came up behind Twilight and grabbed her by the neck. He lifted her up, then threw her to the ground. Beegle then got up and advanced on Twilight. He grabbed her by the horn and dragged her to the pipe.

“Oh Jason, mail’s here!” Beegle said and Jason was about to pull the lever, but then Fluttershy flew in holding the crowbar. She dashed to Beegle and impaled him in the head, killing him instantly.

Twilight got up and looked at Fluttershy. “I thought I told you to go!”

“I couldn’t just leave you.” As Fluttershy finished, Jason charged at the two ponies. He grabbed Twilight’s wing and snapped it. Twilight screamed in agony and fell to the floor. Jason then delivered a punch to Fluttershy’s head, knocking her out. Twilight tried to get up, but Jason pinned her down and started choking her.

“Die! DIE! DIE!!!” Jason shouted. Twilight was losing her breath. In a few seconds she would be seeing Celestia again.

“Twilight!” a familiar voice yelled. Twilight turned to see Spike. Spike threw something to her. It was the staff Rarity gave him and Twilight caught it. Jason quickly noticed this.

“WHAT!?” He shouted

“Abracadabra bitch!” Twilight yelled before stabbing Jason in the neck. Jason screamed before falling to the ground, and laid there motionless. Fluttershy got up and she and Spike went over to Twilight and hugged her.

“This show isn’t really what I expected.” Spike said. Twilight laughed at that. “Come on! Let’s go! Smolder and Barb found Discord!” Twilight nodded and they began to head out

(Dark Halls)

Twilight, Fluttershy and Spike made their way down the hall. As they did, Barb and Smolder were at the end. “There they are!” Barb shouted. The two groups began running to each other. Just before they could reach each other, a familiar face got between them. It was Mikey, still missing his right arm. His sudden appearance caused the two groups to stop dead in their tracks.

“Time’s almost up!” Mikey said as he raised his only arm. But before he could attack anyone, Sarah came out of nowhere and pushed him to the ground. While Mikey was down, Sarah walked over to him and stomped on his crotch. Mikey then tripped Sarah and kicked her in the face. Barb cringed at this. The two teenagers got up and Mikey began to smack Sarah. He hit her a few times in the face, but Sarah managed to dodge the last swing. She then stomped on Mikey’s foot, stunning him. Sarah raised her fists in the air and hammered them onto Mikey’s back, knocking him to the ground. When Mikey tried to get up, Sarah grabbed the cast where his other arm used to be and ripped it clean off. She then reached into the opening and began to rip stuff out. Sarah then started to strangle Mikey. Mikey had had enough. He raised his arm and plunged it into Sarah’s chest.

“Sarah!” Spike shouted. Mikey laughed as he pulled out both of Sarah’s lungs. Before anything else could happen, Sarah used what was left of her strength to put her arms around Mikey’s neck and then, ‘snap’! Mikey’s neck had been snapped and both him and Sarah fell to the floor. “Sarah!” Spike said as he ran to her side.

“Spike, no!” Twilight shouted. Spike kneeled down with Sarah giving him an apologetic look.

“Sarah” Spike said sadly. He knew he couldn’t save her. “You’ll always be my favorite.” Sarah then, laid motionless. Twilight put a leg around Spike to comfort him.

“Woah, she just gave her life for us.” Smolder said. Fluttershy flew over to Sarah and put a hoof on her head.

“Rest in peace Sarah. We’ll never forget what you did for us.”

(Outside the building)

With the Human Bunch defeated and all the children saved, Twilight and the gang have finally made it outside the studio. Soon, ambulances and the cops arrived. Some kids ended up heading to the hospital or picked up by a different relative. “I’m so glad you’re okay!” Fluttershy said as she hugged Discord. “I was worried we wouldn’t be able to save you.”

“What? You think the Lord of Chaos can’t stand up to a few teenagers?” Discord asked. “I have to say; what they did was worse than what Cozy Glow did.” Fluttershy nodded in agreement.

“You know, this trip wasn’t as weird as I thought it was.” Smolder told Spike.

“This show is weird. We’re awesome.”

“Yeah, we sure are!” Smolder agreed with Spike. Smolder then turned to Barb. “So, what are you gonna do now?”

“I really don’t know. This job was all I had.” Twilight came over upon hearing that.

“You can always come back to Equestria with us. Though, you’d have to get used to walking on all fours.”

“You mean it?” Barb asked.

“Sure! What are friends for?” Twilight began to trot towards the portal.

“Twilight!” She turned to see Flash limping over to her. He looked very bruised. “Twilight! I got hit by a car! It was awful! But, it made me realize… that there’s really no other mare I’d rather be with.” Flash said panting as he put his hooves on Twilight’s shoulders. “I love you, Twilight.” Twilight stood there staring at Flash. She then raised a hoof and punched Flash in the face, knocking him out.

“I want a divorce.” Twilight said as she turned to the portal. Spike, Barb, Discord and Fluttershy followed her. Smolder picked up Flash and carried him to the portal. She knew it would be wrong to leave him there.

(Underground Stage)

Jason and Beegle’s bodies were laying on the metal floor. Beegle still had the crowbar in his head and Jason had a giant hole in the back of his neck where Twilight stabbed him. Suddenly, a green gas made its way to Jason’s body. It started to flow into his neck wound, and it slowly healed. Jason’s hand then balled up into a fist. Jason was alive again. He got up and looked ahead of him to see who revived him: a pink pegasus filly with a light-blue mane and tail and a chess piece for a cutie mark. The filly turned to the screen and winked as it turned black.

(The sound of the fillie’s evil laughter is heard)
