“Let's go through this one more time.” Twilight said.

“[sighs] We've been over it like a million times, Twilight! We found all six keys, defeated Tirek, and got this sweet castle! End of story!” Rainbow Dash says not wanting to deal with this sits down on her throne.

“Yes, but why?” Twilight asked.

“Perhaps destiny.” Noah snarked causing Twilight to think a bit.

“I dunno, sugarcube. Maybe it's just your new house and there ain't nothin' more to it than that.” Applejack replied sitting down on her throne.

“I must say, speaking strictly on aesthetics, there really doesn't need to be more to it. It's all simply divine!” Rarity praised while sitting on her throne.

“Yeah this castle is pretty.” Zoey agreed.

“I agree with Twilight. And Rarity. And Applejack. And Rainbow Dash. And Pinkie Pie. And Noah. And Zoey. Oh, and probably Spike and the others.” Fluttershy said while sitting on her throne.

“As princess, I've been chosen to spread the magic of friendship across Equestria. So why would the Tree of Harmony want us to sit in a castle in Ponyville? It doesn't make any sense.” Twilight says.

“She’s got a point.” Gwen said.

As soon as the Mane 6 sat on all their thrones, the chairs lit up and made a map table.

“Woah is that new I like it.” Spike said waking up.

The Mane 6’s Cutie Marks began glowing and Cody, Owen, and Noah began glowing and the holograms of the Cutie marks and the boys faces were projected onto a little village.

“What’s happening?” Owen asked.

“I guess the map wants the nine of us to follow it.” Twilight explained.

“Okay as long as we’re with you guys I feel safe.” Cody proclaimed.

“Thanks Cody.” Pinkie Pie said.

A while later the Mane 6, Owen, Cody, and Noah made it to the little village.

The ponies greeted them making Noah feel suspicious why do they have the same Cutie Mark or butt tattoos as he likes to call them.

“Hey Owen why do you think all these ponies have the same butt tattoos.” Noah asked.

“Maybe they are some sort of club.” Owen answered.

“Or a cult.” Noah guesses.

The nine were soon introduced to the town leader Starlight Glimmer.

“Welcome I’m so pleased to have you here. I don’t mean to be a bother but who are those delightful creatures?” Starlight greeted.

Owen blushes before answering “Oh thank you I’m Owen and these are Cody and Noah.”

Soon they were shown around the town and some ponies even wanted their cutie marks back and explained how Cutie Un-Marking works and that they have a cave full of their old cutie marks.

The nine were lead to the cave by Starlight Glimmer.

“I’m delighted you wanted to see the cave it is a magical place and we hope all of Equestria would like to give up their cutie marks one day to celebrate Equality but that is their choice, behold our Cutie Mark vault.” Starlight said.

The cave was shown to have multiple cutie marks shocking our heroes.

“And here is the Staff of Sameness. It was one of the great Mage Meadowbrook's nine enchanted items. We are incredibly fortunate to have it here. This is the tool that allows us to free ourselves from our marks! I'm curious – how did the subject of the vault come up?” Starlight asked.

“No reason.” Cody said quickly.

“Are you sure friend there is nothing to hide from me.” Starlight said.

“Uh-“ Cody stuttered.

“Oh, some ponies were telling us how much they missed their cutie marks, and—“ Pinkie Pie said before Twilight shushed her.

“Were they?” Starlight asked with a smirk.

“And is there a problem with that?” Noah asked angrily.

“Of course not, it seems you inspire all sorts of free thinking, don't you?” Starlight asked angrily.

“Oh we certainly don’t wanna intrude on your little village.” Cody said nervously.

“Good let’s just keep it that way shall we?” Starlight said in a scheming tone.

Soon Starlight took the Mane 6’s cutie marks and immobilized Cody, Owen, and Noah with the staff.

“Oh I don’t blame you for what you tried to do today you spent your whole lives thinking those marks were a good thing.” Starlight said.

“You’re not mad?” Cody asked.

“Of course not, now you can stay with us and we’ll teach you how wonderful life is without cutie marks.” Starlight said

“Oh goodness this is Hitler all over again.” Cody said.

“Okay that’s too far.” Owen said.
