"There's a changeling on deck! A changeling on deck!" A soldier screamed.

The survivors along with several civilians were being loaded onto the lifeboats. The soldiers helped by taking out the changelings and the infected.

"There's too many of them!" A soldier shouted.

"I got to change mags!" Another soldier added.

"Okay, everybody's on!" The captain confirmed.

The soldiers quickly got on board the lifeboats. As the lifeboats gently lowered themselves onto the sea, the infected swarmed out.

"Okay, activate the igniter!"

A soldier pressed the detonator. The ship exploded, killing all the infected.

"Whew." A soldier breathed.

"Wait, got to do a check first." The captain of the lifeboats said, holding out an army knife.

No one was a changeling on the lifeboats.

"Leon, we got out. What's your situation?" One of the soldiers asked on his earpiece.

"I got out too with the others."

"What do we do now? Head to the promised land?"

"No, we'll never reach there on our small lifeboats. We have to head back to Equestria."

"What?"

"We'll find a place to hide. Away from everyone. Trust me."

The soldier hanged up. He informed the captain on what to do next.

"Leon's leading us to a suicide zone."

"He's knows what he's talking about."

The lifeboat, along with many others returned to Equestria.

The group arrived at the prison cells of the underwater hideout. There they saw ponies chained to a wall behind bars.

"Please help me, please..." A female unicorn said as she spotted them.

"We got to help her." Leon said.

"We can't right now." Peter said. "We'll cause an audience."

"Stay right here. We'll get you out soon." Newton assured.

The group continued down the hall until they came across a metal door. Peter slowly opened it. The smell of guts filled the air.

"You know what this reminds me of?" Peter said.

"What?"

"Cupcakes."

"How does this remind you of cupcakes?" Leon said.

"Cupcakes isn't just a food. It's a fanfic of someone claiming to be a My Little Pony animator who did this in his free time. You don't want to read it."

"Why not?"

"To put it simply, it's very gory, violent, disturbing, something you see from a horror film."

"Yeesh."

As Peter was the first to open the door, he made his first step in. Immediately a rope trap sprung around his ankle. He was dragged in just as a cage lowered itself quickly behind him. The boy was now trapped. Peter untied himself and ran for the door.

"Come on, open it!" Peter shouted.

"I'm trying man!" Leon shouted.

Both of them tried to unlock the door. They both then paused after a short while.

"What's wrong?" Newton said.

An earth pony appeared behind Peter wearing a face mask that covered her face from her forehead to her mouth. On closer examination of her puffy tail and mane and pink color on everything. Peter spoke up.

"P-P-Pinkie?"

Another masked pegasus pony appeared behind the group. Her pale yellow body along with her long pink mane made her recognizable to Newton.

"I'm not gonna hurt you..." The masked earth pony said to Peter in a soft, but threatening voice. "Maybe a little..."

Peter was swiftly knocked out. Meanwhile, the other three members of Peter's group were forced to lower their weapons and surrender by the masked pegasus's threatening voice.

Peter awoke a few hours later to find a chained up female pegasus next to him. Immediately, he recognized her to her rainbow mane.

"Dash? What are you doing here?"

"Pinkie has mean locked up and she's going to slaughter me to make her famous cupcakes!" Rainbow Dash panicked.

"At first, Peter went up to help her, but then he realized something."

"No, this is a trick."

Peter then turned to the cage as he tried to unlock it again. This time, Leon, Newton, and Neytiri were gone. But he had more things to worry about.

"Don't bother opening it."

It was Pinkie. She was still in her mask, holding her kitchen knife laced with whatever red stuff is on it. It had a pungent smell, Peter winced as he held his nose.

"No, please, no!" Rainbow Dash panicked.

Instantly, Pinkie thrusted the knife into Rainbow Dash's body, instantly killing her.

"Holy crap!" Peter panicked.

Pinkie now headed for him. Peter charged for Pinkie with all his might, tackling her down. Pinkie reached for the knife, Peter tossed the knife away.

"You are a tough nut to crack!" Pinkie said.

Pinkie threw several punches that Peter blocked. Peter retaliated by shoving her into the table. He ran up to a stunned Pinkie and smothered her face into a cake she was working on. Pinkie went motionless soon after.

"Whew." Peter breathed.

KONK!

Peter was hit in the head by an unknown assailant.

"Ha, ha. Gotcha!"

Leon was thrown into a cell along with another human. Newton and Neytiri were thrown into the cell across from Leon.

"I'll get you for this!" Leon shouted.

"Nice words. From a Storm Prince." The guard said.

"Is he here?" Another voice from far off said.

"Sure is, your majesty."

Instantly, Newton knew that voice. A long lanky alicorn walked in.

"Twilight..." Leon said.

"Hello, Leon. It has been a long time since we met." Twilight said.

"You killed him! You killed my father!" Leon shouted back.

"That's not nice to the creature that saved Equestria. Now, why are you here?"

"We're looking for a human named Max." Neytiri said. "We saw him head to this underwater base!"

"Oh?"

"Where is he?"

"My friends Applejack and Rarity are taking good care of him right now. You can trust me on that."

"Says a tyrant who murdered all my kin." Leon countered.

"I never advocated for that. You should blame Celestia and Luna for this."

"Well, they're gone now."

Twilight changed the subject.

"I heard from your guys' conversation of Newton."

"And what did you hear?" Newton said.

"That you had a crush on me." Twilight teased.

"Wh-What?"

"I'll give you a deal. I'll let your sister and your friends go if you agree to marry me."

Newton was speechless.

"You'll be a perfect husband. We can rule together you and I."

"Do you think me as a fool?" Newton said. "You're obviously going to kill my friends!"

"Of course I would. I have to keep the Storm Kingdom from rising up. Now let's not dilly-daddle."

Newton felt himself being dragged away.

"Newton!" Leon screamed.

Peter awoke to find himself tied up with ropes. Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash glared at him.

"You know, you've been a real thorn on our side. You don't know your consequences!" Dash said.

Peter immediately fired back.

"I'm doing what's right!"

"Ending the ruler of Equestria's life will only cause a meltdown of social order. Creatures will kill each other over survival, villains and thieves will arise and prey on the hungry, burning, looting, no way to raise the sun and moon."

Peter spat back into Dash's face.

"Augh!"

Peter kicked Dash in the stomach, sending her flying into a wall. Pinkie raised a knife at Peter but the latter kicked her in the knee, forcing her to drop it. Peter then moved the knife closer to himself to cut his binds. As he freed himself, Dash and Pinkie charged for him. Peter dodged their attacks and grabbed Rainbow Dash by the neck.

"Go ahead, slit my throat." Dash said.

"Go ahead Peter, make some cupcakes." Pinkie said, getting up.

Peter swiftly knocked Dash out. He charged-tackled Pinkie to the ground.

"Too afraid to kill?" Pinkie teased. "I should've known you better ever since you murdered some of our guards."

"You brought this on yourself, Pinkie." Peter stated.

Peter raised his foot over Pinkie's face. He stomped on her, knocking her out. Noticing keys on a table holding his gear, he grabbed the keys and his gear before leaving the unconscious elements of loyalty and laughter in the room.

Peter swiftly and silently made his way through the castle, knocking out guards and hiding their bodies before heading into the throne room. As he went in, hiding behind a pillar, he noticed a cloaked figure sitting on the throne.

"Okay, what I do now?" Max said.

"You laid all the resurrection tools in the correct spots. Now draw this image." The guard said.

Max drew a flower with each item on one of the petals.

"Now what?"

"We wait."

Peter saw the guards bring the dead body of Chloe to Max.

"How was she killed?"

"She was died from being ambushed by bandits."

"Liar." Peter whispered. "You killed her."

"Now to begin the ritual."

The cloaked figure stepped up and placed its hoof on one of the petals. Noticing the broken horn, Peter knew who it was. He immediately got out of cover and shot down all of the guards.

"Hooves in the air!" Peter shouted.

"Peter!" Max gasped. "What are you doing here?"

The cloaked figure complied.

"Unmask yourself.... Tempest."

The cloaked figure unmasked herself, revealing to be Tempest.

"I knew it."

"Peter, what's up with you? Tempest is going to resurrect my sister."

Tempest unleashed a big blast of magic that knocked Peter into a wall.

"What was that for?" Max said.

"He was going to interrupt our session."

As Peter struggled to get up, more guards ran in to restrain him. Tempest began the resurrection by reading from black spellbook. A black and red aura formed around Chloe's body, Peter noticed the darkness in her eyes as she stood up.

"Chloe..." Max gasped.

"That's not your sister!" Peter shouted.

The ritual was almost fully complete. Tempest made the finishing touches before giving the body to Chloe. Chloe opened her eyes, she seemed completely normal.

"Chloe?"

"Max, don't touch her!" Peter shouted.

"Let the boy go." Tempest ordered.

On compliance, the guards released Peter. He immediately ran up to Max and restrained him from meeting Chloe.

"Max, Tempest is manipulating you!"

"But my sister..."

"Bandits didn't kill her, the guards did! I tried to rescue your sister but the guards kill her!"

Chloe freed Max from Peter's grasp.

"Chloe, finish off Peter." Tempest ordered.

"Yes, master." Chloe spoke in an almost monotone voice.

Peter was knocked down by Chloe's monstrous shove. As Peter struggled to get up, Chloe stood over him. Her hands wrapped around Peter's neck. The squeeze of her hands began.

"Chloe!" Max shouted before turning to Tempest angrily. "What did you do?"

"All I did was upgrade her strength and power. Now you can enjoy your sister choke her best friend to death."

"What?!"

"I gave you what you want didn't I?"

"But I didn't want this!"

Max tried to stop Chloe from killing Peter, but he was met with a swift punch in the stomach by Chloe. This gave Peter enough time to kick Chloe away.

"You okay?" Max said.

"Yeah..." Peter breathed. "But I have to put her down."

"I'm with you."

"What?"

"This isn't my sister! Tempest has brainwashed her!"

"Now do you realize the true colors of the ponies and other creatures?"

"Okay, I believe you now."

Chloe charged for Peter. As she tackled him to the ground, Peter slid a small handgun to Max. Peter blocked all her attacks and restrained her himself.

"Max, shoot her!"

"I can't! I'll hit you!" Max said.

"Do it! You have to! There's no other way!"

Max pulled the trigger. A large bullet hole appeared on Chloe's chest. As she collapsed onto the ground, Max went up to Peter.

"You okay?"

"Yeah..."

The two saw Chloe trying to get up again. Peter took the gun from Max and shot her in the head.

"I can't believe my sister would do this..." Max said, looking at her dead body.

"We're going to avenge her, I promise."

Tempest and her guards already left, leaving Max and Peter all to themselves.

"We gotta get out of here." Max said.

"First we have to find my friends." Peter said.

"Where are Leon, Newton, and Neytiri?" Peter said to some captured royal guard members.

"In the prison cells, down this hall and make a left!" One guard said.

Peter placed his gun on the back of the royal guard member.

"Take me there."

The guard reluctantly took Peter and Max down to the prison cells. There they found Leon and Neytiri.

"You're safe." Peter sighed with relief.

Max took a look at the locks on the cells.

"Who has the key?"

Peter tried the keys he got while fighting Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie. Leon and Neytiri were freed.

"Where's Newton?"

"He's been taken by Twilight. And now the Princess of Friendship is going to marry him!"

"What?!" Peter and Max gasped.

Peter turned to the guard.

"Where is this marriage taking place?"

"I don't know! I just work here!"

Peter and Max held him down.

"Tickle him!" Peter said.

Leon tickled the guard until the latter couldn't breath anymore.

"Stop!" Peter said.

"Huh?"

"Let's just leave him in the cells. He's not going to give a response."

"But how are we going to find Newton now?"

The group was left in thought. Then it struck Peter.

"Wait, what do you need at a wedding?" Peter asked.

"Wedding cake?" Neytiri asked.

"A ring?" Leon questioned.

"A wedding dress?" Max added.

"No! Bridesmaids!" Peter said.

Everyone looked at each other.

"You don't need bridesmaids for a wedding." Leon said.

"But it's very likely that this wedding will have bridesmaids."

Everyone started to understand what Peter was talking about.

"Oh, I get it. We can infiltrate the wedding and save Newton that way." Leon said.

"But as bridesmaids and groomsmen?" Neytiri asked.

"We have some ponies who are willing to tell us when the wedding will take place." Peter said.

The group arrived at the gut filled room. Rainbow Dash and Pinkie were there as Peter expected. As Peter searched around for supplies, the group noticed Pinkie getting up.

"Peter..." Neytiri said.

Peter was too bothered to even hear Neytiri. Pinkie sprang at the group and held Neytiri down. The pink pony's eyes were now bloodshot, and she was speaking like a crazy person, her poofy mane now became flat.

"Fresh cupcakes!"

THHK!

Pinkie went unconscious. She didn't see Peter holding a tranquilizer gun.

"Where'd you get that?" Leon asked.

"Pinkie has a lot of weapons in stock." Peter said.

"Does this mean?"

"Guns. Lots of guns."

The group arrived at Pinkie's stock in the next room over. The sedatives that Peter used lasted for four hours. He made sure to collect the entire box to place in his pack. Leon grabbed a trusty assault rifle with little recoil and iron sight.

"I don't know how to use a gun." Max said.

"Here, a little something more your side." Peter said, giving Max a decent handgun.

The group made sure to collect kevlar vests to shield themselves.

"How are we going to get out of here?" Max asked.

"I found it!" Neytiri said after five minutes of searching.

"What?"

Max arrived in the room Neytiri was at.

"Escape pods! Neytiri, you're awesome!" Max said.

"Am I?" Neytiri said with delight.

Leon and Peter arrived carrying the unconscious bodies of Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie.

"Great, let's go!" Leon said.

The group boarded the escape pod. They took off shortly after.

"I wonder where Tempest went." Peter said after sitting back.

"Tempest? She was here?" Leon asked.

"Yeah. And she tried to brainwash Chloe into fighting for her." Max said. "We had to put her down."

"Oh no." Neytiri said.

"At least we don't have to worry about Tempest." Peter said.

"But you just-"

"Oh?"

The group looked out the escape pod window, they noticed the underwater base collapsing.

"Peter, what did you do?"

"I wonder why Pinkie kept remote charges in that stock. Besides, they won't go after us."

The group looked back, only seeing one escape pod making out alive.

"That's gotta be Tempest's escape pod." Leon said, arming up. "Get ready when she resurfaces."

The escape pod was crushed under the rubble of the underwater base.

"Scratch that. We're fine."

The escape pod finally made contact it the air. As everyone climbed out safely, Peter made sure to keep his eyes on Rainbow Dash and Pinkie.

"Hey, you want to say goodbye to your sister?" Neytiri said.

"I already said goodbye." Max said. "I grieved enough."

"We got to head back to the prison and tell everyone what happened." Peter said.

As the group returned to the prison, they first saw heads looking at them from the distance. As Peter motioned everyone to stay back, he came up slowly to the heads. It was terrible sight.

"Oh my god!"

"What is it?" Neytiri said.

Everyone ran to catch up to Peter. There were ten decapitated heads of their group on pikes in front of the entrance to the prison. The four prisoners, Brian, Angela, Mitch, Sydney, Lizzie, and Sophia.

"They were just children!" Leon said, noticing Lizzie and Sophia's heads. "Curse you, ponies!"

"What do we do now?" Neytiri said.

Max turned around to see someone else coming to their location.

"Uh, guys...."

Bright lights shined on the group despite it being daytime. Heavily armed soldiers ran out from all sides. The group had nowhere to go.

"Put your weapons on the ground and get your hands in the air now!"

The group was in shock.

"This is your last chance! Weapons down, now!"

"Looks they don't came here to talk..." Leon said.
