My Little Pony: Unfinished Business

Cozy Glow rubbed her eyes. Wherever she was, she certain wasn't in Canterlot anymore.

"What is this place?" Cozy Glow asked as she looked around, noticing the village looked okay at the least. Certainly nothing like Ponyville or Canterlot. A nearby sign told her that she was in some place called "Paradise".

"Paradise huh? Maybe I should look around." Cozy Glow said.

"Oh hey there little one." A Unicorn Stallion suddenly said to her. Cozy Glow decided to try her usual façade.

"Golly, it's nice to meet someone here." Cozy Glow said. The stallion sweatdropped.

"Really? Really? Come on now little one, you can act normal here. This is a place of exiles after all. The mayor created this place after being exiled alongside a bunch of others. And with you here, surely your an exile too. So it makes me wonder what you did to piss of royalty so much for exile. What is it, did you try and blow up a town? Or maybe your like me and tried to start a war between the Dragons and Ponies." The Unicorn Stallion said. Exiles huh? Well if she's going to be honest, she might as well be.

"Well nothing like that. I tried to drain all the magic from all of Equestria and tried to get every race to turn on each other." Cozy Glow said.

"...Wait you did what now? You do realize that without magic, our very way of life would be in jepordy. No magic means no food, and no food means we'd starve." The Unicorn Stallion said.

"Wait what does magic have to do with food?" Cozy Glow asked.

"More then you think. That's why you shouldn't have done that. And to top it off, you made the windigos come back by turning every pony race against each other." The Unicorn said.

"Actually, it wasn't just the pony races, I tried to also get the other creatures to turn on each other too." Cozy Glow said.

"Geez, way to take the hearth's warming thing to the extreme. Well I suppose as long as you don't try anything like that here, you won't be deported by the mayor." The Unicorn said. "And I mean it, this place is the only place not under rule by the royal decree of the Alicorns. Just be careful okay little one? I'm sure you'll get used to your new life here eventually." He added and left.

"So, I'm in a place filled with former convicts all of whom are exiles from Equestria. Well I guess this is no better place to start then right here." Cozy Glow said. She started getting the lay of the place when suddenly a Pegasus colt was flung out of a nearby ally. "Huh?!" Cozy Glow exclaimed.

"Huh...it's a little filly." Came a voice. Suddenly a gang of stallions came out of the alleyway. "How perfect. Once we deal with the traitor to this place, we can teach this one how to be a good girl the right way~" The lead stallion said.

"Traitor? What's he talking about?" Cozy Glow asked.

"I was careless. Run away. If you don't, you'll end up just as corrupt as them..." The Pegasus colt said.

"Shut up traitor." The earth pony stallion said. Cozy Glow gasped when she looked into the eyes of the three stallions. It was just as the Pegasus colt said: They were corrupt.

"Now little filly, move out of the way if you don't want to get hurt." The Pegasus stallion said.

"No." Cozy Glow said. And then she took a stance against the three stallions.

"You? Defend him? Ridiculous." The Unicorn stallion said.

"You can't harm me." Cozy Glow said.

"We'll show you!" The Earth Pony Stallion threw his punch, but found that he stopped short.

"...Dude, what are you waiting for?" The Pegasus Stallion said.

"She's right..." The Earth Pony Stallion said.

"Huh?" The Unicorn Stallion asked.

"I can't do it...I simply can't bring myself to harm someone like her...I don't know why but I can't." The Earth Pony Stallion said. Cozy Glow smirked.

"Golly, it's like you've been taught to never heart female ponies...am I right?" Cozy Glow said, her smirk not fading one bit.

"Drat, how did she figure it out?!" The Pegasus Stallion exclaimed.

"I'm good at reading others. Now, what should I do to you three?" Cozy Glow asked, smirking evilly.

"Still no luck finding her using my magic." Princess Twilight said.

"I've sent out changelings every which way; one of them might find something." Thorax said.

"The dragons are looking too. No way are we going to let Cozy Glow spread her brand of manipulation elsewhere." Ember said.

"If only we had some sort of clue to go on." Gilda said.

"Yaks did not receive evil Pegasus filly; can confirm not up north." The yak leader said.

"No sign of her at the Crystal Empire either." Princess Cadence said.

"I wonder..." Prince Flash Sentry said.

"What is it Flash?" Princess Twilight said.

"I heard of this one place filled with exiles. It's only a rumor, but there's supposed to be this place called 'Paradise' where escaped criminals once founded." Prince Flash Sentry said. "But the place doesn't seem to show up on any map, and from else I was told, the place only releases its citizens into Equestrian custody only if they break the rules." He added.

"Then let us pray that Cozy Glow did not end up there." Twilight said.
