~Echo Nymph's POV~

Another day, another training session. Not that I mind it. Someone needs to keep their Class skills sharp. I was training with ToonKriticY2K and Lightning Bliss, but Toon was being a jerk with his puns and insults. Sometimes I feel like I want to punch this guy in the face... He went one pun insult too far and Lightning Bliss was ready to attack him, until I felt a shudder run down my spine.

Lightning Bliss must have noticed, cause she turned to me, "What's wrong, Nymph?"

"I feel a disturbance on The Force, but I can't put my hoof on it." I answered in thought.

"Aaaawww. Has someone intruded on your family's property?" Toon cooed with a smirk.

I glared at the red and black pegasus oc, "Strike two, Mr. Black-and-Red OC..."

Suddenly, Mad Munchkin's voice spoke from the intercoms, "I don't know who you are... I don't know what you want... If you're looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money..." Everyone froze around the Battlefield and listened, "What I do have is a very particular set of skills... Skills that I have acquired from a very long career... Skills that make me a nightmare for Ponies like you..." Lightning Bliss lowered her ears, tucked her tail between her legs and backed into me. I held her close, "If you let my hat go now, that will be the end of of it... I will not look for you, I will not pursuit you... But if you don't, I will look for you... I will find you... And I will kill you..."

"Whoa! What got the Lady of Scots all riled up?" Toon wondered.

"I don't want to know." Bliss squeaked.

"Obviously, she believes one of us took her hat and she wants it back." I explained, "We better follow her demands, if we're gonna get to the bottom of this."

With that, Toon, Bliss and I gathered with the rest of the group. Mad Munchkin arrived and shouted, "Everyone, get your flanks back to base now!" Then she noticed that we were all here and she smiled, "Oh, wow. Looks like I didn't even need the Turnoy. Oh well." Then she instructed, "Move it, maggots!"

We followed Maddie into the shop section, that lead to the Sick Bay. We scattered, so it would be easier to move around. Mad Munchkin readied her rocket launcher and started asking around, "Okay, maggots! Now all of you are here, and one of you has my hat. Give yourself up now, and your death will be quick an painless."

"Uh... Maddie..." Eliyora gulped, "Don't you think you're being just a little extreme?"

Maddie turned to the unicorn mare and aimed her launcher at her, "You have it, don't ya?! I've seen you eyeing up my hat. I've seen you all look at her and say, 'Oh, aye! That's a wee tasty bit of hatwear, eh'?!"

Eliyora took a step back, raised a brow, then shook her head, "No, Maddie. I do not have your hat."

"Do..." Maddie turned to Blissie, "You have my hat?"

Tears started running down Blissie's face, as she started crying and hid herself in between my legs, "She scares me!"

I gently stroked Blissie's mane and glared at Mad Munchkin, "Okay, Maddie. I think this has gone too far."

Maddie aimed her rocket launcher at my face, "Sounds like hat talk to me, Grudge Pony!"

I gave her a deadpan look. Blissie hugged closer to me. I shook my head, "Maddie, I don't have your hat. But you have to stop this. It's not healthy."

"No..." Maddie answered with a laugh and a crazy look in her eyes, "Let's make this interesting." Her smile faded to a serious frown, "Unless someone comes forward and puts my hat right here, in this new case that Finn built..."

She grabbed a glass case with a wooden frame and put on the ground.

"You're welcome." Finn answered with a smile.

Maddie grabbed her cell phone and smirked, "I'm gonna call..."

Everypony tensed up and backed up a step. "Oh heavens no..." Firebrand grimaced.

"I'll do it. I'll call her." Maddie dared, moving her hoof closer to the numbers.

Blissie started backing underneath me, "No, no, no... Please not... Anything but her... Anything but her... Oh gosh..."

"I'm gonna call..." Maddie raised her voice.

"Don't call her! Don't call her!" Eliyora told the upset Scottish Soldier.

"Ooh, who are you gonna call?" Finn asked innocently.

Everyone in the room looked at him complete shock and confusion. Somepony's been living in the haybales way too long.

Finn looked around and raised a brow, "What?"

"M-Mary Sue. I'm gonna call Mary Sue." Maddie answered.

KeyFrame, Eliyora and Silver Quill's jaws dropped and they cried, "NOOOOO!!!!"

Lightning Bliss smiled, "Yay! Then I won't be the only Alicorn!" Firebrand, Thespio, Toon and I looked at the Rainbow Alicorn with raised brows. Clarity hit Bliss and she frowned, "Oh, wait. I won't be the only Alicorn!" She fell to the ground crying. The boys rolled their eyes.

"Oh, that's not going away soon..." Firebrand muttered under his breath.

Maybe I should explain. Mary Sue is Mad Munchkin's roommate on her Channel, along with Lord InsertNameHere. She actually lives up to her name. Mary Sue is a pink Alicorn that's about the same height as Princess Cadence. White mane and tail with magenta tips. A raspberry pink cape and golden eyes.

Princess of nature. Princess Celestia and Luna's niece. Discord's 'girlfriend'. All that jazz.

All-in-all, Mary Sue is a Mary-Sue.

Maddie had already dialed the number, "Shh. It's ringing."

The cell phone rang two and a half times before a familiar voice spoke on the other side, "Yeah?"

"Mary Sue, why have you never helped me out in these TF2 events?" Mad Munchkin asked in a raised voice, "Someone has stolen my hat!"

"Oh, you mean the hat that you made me hoof-wash for you after you went all Glasgow Hooligan on some glorified pigeon?" Mary Sue asked.

"Beak-ist!" Silver Quill glared.

"Species-ist." Keyframe corrected.

Silver Quill 'shh'ed Keyframe and gave her a gentle smile, "I'm glad you're coming to terms, but you really shouldn't admit such things in public, Keyframe."

Keyframe's jaw dropped and she glared at the large Hippogriff, "What!?"

"You're a bloody Alicorn for Celestia's sake!" Mad Munchkin pointed out over the phone, "Get over here and help me!"

"I'm afraid I can't do that, Maddie." Mary Sue answered.

"Wh... Wha... Why not?" Maddie asked.

"I think we both know the reason why here, Maddie." She answered.

"Tell me." Maddie instructed.

Mary Sue scoffed in a laugh, "Duh! Maddie! You're playing a dumb game! If I helped you win, which of course you would, cause I'm a Mary-Sue, it would be cheating."

Maddie's eyes widen in dumbfound, then she growled, "I hate you."

"And I totally hate you too, Maddie." Mary Sue smiled, then added, "Oh, by the way, I'm sending over a box of tissues."

A pink box of tissues appeared in the air and floated over to Lightning Bliss.

"What? Why?" Maddie asked.

"To give to Blissie." Mary Sue answered, "She seemed really upset when you shouted at her. And I don't blame her."

Lightning Bliss smiled, "Yay!" But then raised a brow, "I mean, yay?"

Mad Munchkin hung up her cell phone and just stood there with a dumbfounded look on her face. After a few seconds, she leaned forward and collapsed with a face-plant. She was out. The case broke under the impact of her collapse. Ooops.

Firebrand walked up to the center of the room, "Alright. I know that this is the standard lunacy around here, but frankly, I am at my limit. So, can whoever has her hat please own up so we can get back to work here?"

Everyone looked at each other with raised brows and confused looks. Finally, with apologetic looks, Silver Quill and Keyframe stepped forward.

"We have a confession to make." Keyframe sighed.

Silver Quill nodded, "Yes."

"I talked Silver into taking the hat." Keyframe admitted.

Silver Quill nodded again, "Yes. She caused the whole ordeal."

Keyframe's eyes widened and was lost for words, then she glared at the large Hippogriff Heavy, "Oh, you little son of a chicken..."

Firebrand smiled and walked toward the two, "Great. Now that the stupidity's out of the way. Please put the hat back in the case that Finn built..."

Finn joined the trio and put an identical glass case on the ground. "You're welcome." He smiled sweetly.

"And we can get back to a semblance of a normal life." Firebrand finished.

Keyframe turned to Silver Quill, "Okay. Go ahead, Silver."

Silver Quill raised a brow, "Me? I don't have the hat. I thought you had it."

Keyframe glared at the Hippogriff, "You took it out of the case!"

Silver glared back at the tall Unicorn, "That you threw me into!"

"Well, where is it now, Bird-brain!?" Keyframe asked.

"Oh, now who's the Species-ist?" Silver pouted.

Keyframe smiled, "Hey, you got it right."

Silver smiled, "Well, yeah. I was just waiting for you to admit you're prejudiced." Keyframe's jaw dropped in dumbfound and was lost for words. Silver put his claw over her shoulder, "I'm glad we had this breakthrough together, you vile species-ist."

Keyframe, full of anger, regained herself, charged and started wrapping her hooves around Silver Quill's neck, choking him.

"This isn't a hate crime, because I hate you on a personal level!" Key pointed out, as she continued to strangle Silver.

"Noted." Silver answered in a choked voice.

I sighed and took a breath, "As much as I find this funny, here's the plan." I spoke up to everyone present, "Before Maddie comes too, we all have to look for her hat. With all of us looking for it, one of us is bound to find it before she wakes up. Got it? Dismissed!"

With that everyone scattered and started looking for Mad Munchkin's hat before she comes to and goes on a rampage again.
