Sorry it took so long. Was quite the hassle.

Chapter 22: The hunt for the Stems part 3

The sun slowly began to rise from across the land of the Kirin kingdom. So far, everything seemed quiet. Though from within the private room away from the village, Silverbolt was fast asleep, though after the night, he turned back into a pony, in order to make sure the balance was well kept.

He groaned a bit and slowly sat up whilst rubbing his head.

“Boy, what a night.” Muttered Silverbolt, “And here I thought I had enough stamina to give me extra energy.”

He then noticed the Dazzlings sleeping with him, but all of them were ponies too, so thankfully, he used his magic to clean up any, ahem, messes that were around.

Silverbolt couldn’t help but smile when he looked at them, “I’m so glad I found them again after all these years.”

The Dazzlings soon ended up yawning as they stretched at the same time, whilst slowly getting up.

“Whoa, what a night.” Said Sonata.

“For once, dolt. I completely agree with you.” Said Aria.

“Still,” said Adagio before she yawned, “I felt like the greatest of weights had just been lifted off of my shoulders.”

“Maybe because of me?”

The Dazzlings slowly looked at him, and couldn’t help but blush.

“Don’t push it,” said Aria, who then suddenly smiled and said “Still, if any I’m glad to wake up next to you.”

“Same here.” Said Sonata, “We should really hang out more often.”

“Though you’re already in a relationship,” said Adagio, “Can we have a friend with benefits relationship?”

Silverbolt couldn’t help but smile and said “Only for you three.”

Silverbolt kissed them on the lips one by one, then eventually got up with them. “Come on, let’s go see if the others are up yet.”

**********************************************************************************************

Soon enough, after bidding farewell to the Kirin, Silverbolt and his group, the Dazzlings, the Mane 6, the Rainbooms, Starlight, Sunburst and the Young Six were outside of the town.

“Now that it’s all taken care of, what’s next?” asked Fast Track.

“Wait, where are the Pillars and the royals?” asked Velvet Heart.

“Oh, Princesses Celestia and Luna chose to stay at Canterlot and search for anything that might help us fight against Dark Void.” Said Twilight, “They’re looking for anything pre-Equestrian Date.”

“Shining Armor and Cadence left to do the same thing.” Said Sunburst, “That and somepony needs to look after Flurry Heart.”

“What about you lot?” asked Silverbolt.

“We want to stick around you guys.” Said Sandbar, “Plus we get to journey with Silverbolt, how cool is that.”

The rest of the Young Six agreed as all of them got very excited too.

“I don’t know…” said Princess Twilight.

“I don’t see why not.” Said Silverbolt.

“What?!” said Princess Twilight.

“It could be a good experience for them.” Said Silverbolt, “I mean none of them did anything outside of Equestria or their kingdoms before. This could be a good learning experience for them. I learned a lot from my travels.”

“Like what?” asked Smolder.

Silverbolt looked at Smolder, and ended up smirking, which got her very nervous.

“What?” said Smolder nervously as Silverbolt appeared right behind her. “Hey, what are you…?!!”

Suddenly, Silverbolt scratched a part of Smolder’s back, causing her to widen her eyes, then left it half lidded whilst humming.

“Oh, oh that’s good.” Said Smolder as she was getting more into it as he continued to scratch her.

The others were baffled by what he was doing, then he ended up scratching her right side from underneath her arm, making her tongue come out of her as she was enjoying it. But the moment he scratched from underneath her chin, her eyes widened, making her collapse onto the ground all prone. She did a content sigh as she had never felt so relaxed, which shocked the others by what they had just seen.

“I learned to use that on Dragon Lord Torch when he tried to attack me about a month before he became a Dragon Lord.” Said Silverbolt. “Anyway, onto the next location.”

As Silverbolt pulled out the map, he began to look for the next location. However, to his surprise, there was nothing appearing on the map.

“That can’t be right.” Said Silverbolt as he looked at the map, with both Princess Twilight and Sunset walking over to see what was wrong.

“What is it, Silverbolt?” asked Sunset.

“The four stems aren’t showing themselves.” Said Silverbolt.

“Why aren’t they showing themselves on the map?” asked Princess Twilight when she looked at the map.

“Shouldn’t they be here in Equestria?” asked Sunset.

“Hmmm,” pondered Sonata as she was thinking about something. “I wonder if those funny looking glowing orbs had something to do with it?”

They looked at her surprised, with Silverbolt placing his map away and said “Wait, Sonata, what did you mean by that?”

“Well…” said Sonata as she was now in deep thought. “Whilst we were banished, I was about to be thrown in last, until I saw four glowing orbs flying near me and traveled with me. I thought it was a coincidence, but then the orbs fired at us and teleported us to Earth, where it even turned us into humans at the same time. And as it turned out, it teleported us in Canterlot City Though I don’t know which year though.”

Everyone was surprised by what Sonata had revealed.

“How the heck is that possible?” said Fast Track.

“This is the first time the Stems did that.” Said Platinum.

“What do you think, Silverbolt?” said Summer Breeze.

Silverbolt pondered for a moment, then made up his mind, “We’re going to Earth.”

Silverbolt took out the golden Dragon’s tooth and used his magic to tamper with it. After that was done, he used the tooth to open another portal.

“Alright, we have our way.” Said Silverbolt, “Let’s get going.”

Everyone soon enters the portal in order for them to get to the Stems in time, before time runs out for everyone.

**********************************************************************************************

From within the human world, everything was a forest around, until from out of nowhere, a portal opened, allowing Roland and his band to walk through, with the Mane 6, Starlight, Sunburst, the Rainbooms and the Young Six to walk on through. However, to the Young Six’ surprise, they were turned into human whilst inspecting themselves.

“Whoa…this is strange.” Said Smolder as she looked herself over.

“Oh, come on!!” shouted dragon Spike as they saw he was still a dog. “How come Smolder and the others turn into a human whilst I get turned into a dog?!”

“Well, because they hit their adolescence, I figured they were still teenagers,” said Silverbolt, “So I tampered with the tooth that turned them into humans.”

“But I hit my adolescence!!” said dragon Spike.

“And yet, you’re still a big baby and that Smolder is still older than you.” Said Silverbolt.

“I am not!!”

“Yes, you are.” Said the Mane 5, minus Fluttershy at the same time, much to Spike’s annoyance.

“So where are we?” asked pony Rainbow Dash.

Dog Spike took a couple of sniffs around him. After smelling a bit, he realized where they were.

“Hey,” said Spike as he looked back, “We’re at Camp Everfree.”

“Wait, Camp Everfree?” said Sunset surprised.

“Why in tarnation did we come here?” said Applejack.

“Wait, as in the Everfree forest?” said Sandbar.

“Don’t worry, it’s not the same forest, even if the name sounds the same.” Said Silverbolt. “I helped built Camp Everfree years ago with the founders. I made sure the place was well funded and made sure the camp would stay. Until Filthy Rich tried to tear it down because of the so-called payments.”

“So, wait, a camping spot with no magic?” said Smolder surprised.

“There was magic,” said Twilight, “But we took care of that a while ago.”

“You think Timber and Gloriosa are home?” asked Velvet.

“They’re not.” Said Twilight, “Timber and Gloriosa left a while ago for a week to see if they can get more supplies for Camp Everfree for the next time the next school group arrives. So, we still have time before they come back.”

“That’s good.” Said Silverbolt, “Last thing we need is anymore complications jumping from out of nowhere.”

Silverbolt closed his eyes and reached his hand out in order to try and feel the magic pull. He focused a bit more, then opened his eyes before looking at the others.

“The pull is faint, but it’s close.” Said Silverbolt. He then pulled out his pen and used his magic to turn it into a waypoint.

“You turned your pen into a compass?” asked a surprised Fast Track.

“That, as well as a waypoint that would allow it to take us straight towards where we need to go.” Said Silverbolt.

The pen soon stopped and flew towards the direction they needed to go.

“Come on, let’s go!!” said Rainbow Dash as all of them rushed towards the direction they needed to go.

They soon arrived at the camp and were surprised to find it empty.

“Yeesh,” said Platinum, “You’d think they’d have someone to look after the place whilst they’re away and everything.”

“I was able to make this a national monument shortly before the party,” said Silverbolt, “They’re still going over the paperwork to see who would be the best ideal candidates to look after this place.”

They continued to follow Silverbolt as the pen continued to guide him to where they need to go. They continued to follow down the path, looking from left to right as they tried to search for it.

“You know,” said pony Rainbow Dash as she looked around, “The more I see this forest, the more it reminds me of the Everfree forest. The same, but different.”

“Ah know what ya mean,” said pony Applejack, “Ah’ve been to the Everfree forest a couple of times and ah still have hard time tellin if this forest would house a Timberwolf.”

“A what now?” said Rainbow Dash.

“It’s like a wolf that’s made of wood.” Said Silverbolt, “The wood itself is made of special magic that allows it to form into wolves and that would attack you on sight if you spent too much time there. Gusty and I discovered that forest long ago. And…”

Silverbolt paused and looked down, as if a partial shame has taken him, which didn’t go unnoticed by the others.

“Silverbolt?” asked Princess Twilight, “What is it?”

Silverbolt sighed “It wasn’t always like that.”

“What do you mean?” asked Twilight.

“Grogar, Gusty and I were the reason the Everfree forest was like that.”

“Wait, you were the reason?” said Sunburst as he adjusted his glasses. “How did it come to that?”

Silverbolt sighed as he remembered it like it was only yesterday.

When Grogar began his rampage, the two of us tracked him down. After we defeated Grogar’s monsters, the three of us fought with all our might and all our magics, and the land was being affected when our magic kept clashing and fusing with one another. The magical feedback I displayed before I destroyed Grogar ended up creating the forest and the creatures that were once domesticated, ended up having minds of their own and moved into the forest itself. It also attracted others like Hydras, Rocs, Cockatrices, you name it. It even created the Timber Wolves in the process.

He looked ahead and said “Gusty and I regretted for what we did. So, we tried the best we could to either turn the forest into a normal one, one destroy it. But no matter how hard we tried; it wasn’t enough. Same with my other apprentices as the centuries passed by. And before I left Equestria, I called it quits in trying to tame it, and hopefully I’d find some way to return it to its normal self.”

They were surprised to hear how the Everfree forest came to be.

“Wow, so it was because of you three it happened?” said Sonata.

“We heard the stories, but we weren’t sure if it was true or not.” Said Aria.

“And during your time on Earth, even if you did, would you still have it under control?” asked Adagio.

“I did.” Said Silverbolt as they continued through the woods, “Whilst I was traveling and looking for you, I stumbled upon many places that store as much books as they could. Then I ended up founding them in the restricted sections, and discovered that they’re actually spell books that the Knights of old confiscated. So, I collected them and looked them through when I was back home. I found a spell that could contain the magic at the forest. As well as a few other things. Which is why I ended up placing powerful wards around my house so that no one would take it for themselves.”

“I’d like to look some of it over.” Said Princess Twilight with interest.

“Same here.” Said Twilight.

“I can do that.” Said Silverbolt, until he noticed his pen was shaking. “Eyes up, we’re almost there.”

They soon arrived at what appeared to be a cave, which surprised the Rainbooms.

“The pen took us here?” said a confused Pinkie Pie.

“You know the place?” asked pony Rarity.

“Indeed,” said Rarity, “It is where we held the dance to help save Camp Everfree.”

“And it’s also the same place where we found our geodes.” Said Sunset as she motioned to hers and the rest of the girls’.

“Why would it lead us here?” asked Applejack.

“Not sure.” Said Silverbolt as he looked at the pen flying in, “But there’s only one way to find out.”

They continued to walk into the cave whilst the Equestrians, minus Sunset, were in awe of what they were seeing.

“Wow,” said Princess Twilight, “This place is amazing.”

“No kidding.” said dragon Spike as he was about to chew on a crystal.

“Don’t even think about it.” Said Silverbolt, “Besides, humans and dogs can’t eat diamonds or crystals. Their teeth’s aren’t stronger than dragons.”

Smolder paused as she was about to put a piece of crystal in her mouth, then she slowly placed it back and was glad that she didn’t make a mistake by eating it. So, she quickly regrouped with the others.

Silverbolt held the side of his head as he felt something. “I can feel it. We’re close.”

“What?” said Sunset, then she felt it too, the same sensation she felt when she was in the cave the first time. “It can’t be. I thought I felt the geodes when I first walked into the cave.”

Silverbolt then noticed one of the spots looked off.

“Is that where you found the geodes?” asked Silverbolt whilst pointing at the way.

Sunset saw it and said “That’s it. Hopefully we’ll find it.”

Silverbolt walked over to the spot where Sunset and Twilight found the last looking geodes. The closer he moved towards it, the stronger the pull felt. As they moved closer, the Rainbooms, their boyfriends, the Mane 6, the Young Six, the Dazzlings, even Starlight and Sunburst glowed, causing them to gain their Equestrian features, which took everyone by surprise.

“Whoa,” said Gallus as he inspected himself, “This is new.”

“Yeah, no kidding.” Said Smolder as she observed her features.

Silverbolt placed his hand on the pedestal, and felt the pull. At first he struggled to pull, until eventually he was able to pull his hand out of the pedestal. He looked at his right hand and saw the white Stem in his hand.

“We got what we came for.” Said Silverbolt as he got up and placed the Stem away. “Now onto the next one, and fast.”

Silverbolt looked at the map and opened the portal at the same time, allowing all of them to enter. However, unknown to them, someone was watching them from the shadows.

*************************************************************************************************

From another location, a portal opened and everyone exited and looked around at the same time.

“Whoa, where are we?” asked Sonata.

“Canterlot City, movie studio?” said a confused Silverstream.

Everyone looked and were surprised to see a large movie studio. The Rainbooms on the other hand…

“Whoa,” said Rainbow, “Never figured that we’d be back here of all places.”

“Ah know what ya mean.” Said Applejack.

“You girls have been here before?” asked Princess Twilight.

“We have.” Said Twilight, “Sometime ago after we saved Camp Everfree and the Music Video we made, we were invited by Canter Zoom. He was one of Camp Everfree’s attendees. He wanted to thank us for saving the camp, so he invited us to see filming Daring Do live.”

“Whoa, awesome.” Said pony Rainbow Dash in excitement.

“Yes, exciting,” said Rarity before she rolled her eyes and said “If it weren’t for a certain someone who kept interrupting the set.”

Everyone looked at Rainbow Dash, whom smiled and sheepishly. “Seriously, Rainbow?” said Fast Track, “I thought you would’ve learned your lesson after that incident with that rock concert a while back.”

“Will you stop brining that up!!” shouted Rainbow.

The others were confused by this as they went “Uh…”

“Long story.” Said Fast Track whilst he rolled his eyes.

“Let’s get going.” Said Silverbolt as he was the first to move.

Soon enough, everyone made it to the front gate.

“Halt!!” said the guard as he saw them. “Identification?”

“Ahem?”

The guard took a quick look, but then sharply looked at the direction and was shocked to see Silverbolt, glaring at him with his arms crossed.

“You really wanna do this again, Spearhead?” said Silverbolt.

“Uh, no of course not Mr. Silverbolt!!” said the guard frantically, “What can I do for you?”

“Call the head of the studios.” Said Silverbolt, “Tell them that Silverbolt is here. We’ll be keeping our phones. And we want the platinum pass. Now.”

“Uh, of course sir, wait right here!!” said the guard frantically as he darted away.

Everyone slowly looked at Silverbolt surprised.

“Question,” said Velvet, “How?”

“I was the one who built the studios back in its hay day.” Said Silverbolt, “And over the years I helped hired every employee working here. In fact, today, half the people working here work for me and I personally hired. Plus, they know not to mess with me, since what happened last time 50 years ago.”

“What happened fifty…?” said Applejack before she stopped, then slowly widened her eyes in shock. “Y’all were the one?!”

“One what?” asked Princess Twilight.

“Let’s just say the directors messed with me and made me a laughing stock.” Said Silverbolt, “And as punishment, I destroyed half the studios, which caused the directors who directed their movies to be bankrupt. The head studios apologized and they covered it up as a massive gas tank explosion. But those who worked here knew the truth, and they chose not to mess with me ever since. Especially since I own the property.”

“Wait, you own this place?!” said Rarity in shock.

“That I do.” Said Silverbolt.

Within an instant, the guard came back with their passes.

“Here you are. On the house, and everything is paid for.” He said frantically as he handed them over and opened the gate for them before he frantically said “Have a nice day.”

Everyone soon passed on through whilst the guard was nervous at the same time whilst keeping an eye on Silverbolt. However, unknown to them, someone was keeping an eye from the shadows whilst squinting their eyes.

*************************************************************************************************

Everyone was walking through the studios and all of them were in awe of what they were seeing.

“No way.” Said pony Rainbow Dash, “This place is awesome.”

“No kidding.” Said Sandbar, “I’ve never seen a place this grand before.”

“Yona can’t wait to see what they have to offer!!” Said Yona in excitement.

“Just remember to stay together in groups,” said Silverbolt, “We don’t need any more confusions than we already do.”

“Then we’ll have to split up.” Said Fast Track.

“Good call.” Said Silverbolt. “Twilight, Fluttershy and Rarity, you three take your counterparts, Dusk Light, Velvet Heart, Platinum, Gallus, Sandbar and Ocellus with you. Rainbow Dash, Applejack and Pinkie Pie, you three take your counterparts, Fast Track, Summer Breeze, Rhythm Beat, Smolder, Yona and Silverstream with you. Sunset and I will be looking for Canter Zoom.”

“Wait, what?” said Twilight as she and the others were confused, “Why do you want to bring them into this?”

“Because they might have a lead on where we need to go and if they ever saw anything.” Said Silverbolt.

“They?” said the others confused.

“I was able to twist Canter Zoom into bringing his niece back,” said Silverbolt, “In exchange that she promises to never do this again, and would take acting lessons from some of Hollywood’s experts, including Chestnut Magnifico and AK Yearling.”

“AK YEARLING AND CHESTNUT MAGNIFICO?!!” exclaimed the Rainbooms in shock and excitement.

“You were able to convince them to come here?!” said Rainbow in excitement.

“That I did.” Said Silverbolt with a smile.

“How?!” exclaimed Twilight in equal excitement.

“Well, I was sleeping one night and I had an idea.” Said Silverbolt, “Then me and Daring Do ended up writing a new book, called Daring Do and the Tomb of the Dragon Lords.”

“You wrote a book with her?” said everyone at the same time.

“That’s right.” Said Silverbolt, “In fact, that’s why they’re here. They’re busy making a new movie based on the latest book. And I funded the whole thing, so that they could make it a reality. So, she kind of owes me one.”

“As fascinating as it may be,” said Dusk as he looked at the time, “We need to find Canter Zoom and the others, then we’d better go find that stem, and fast.”

“No need to tell us, twice.” Said Rainbow Dash.

“Alright then, let’s get going.” Said Silverbolt before the said group began to split up in different groups.

The man however, began to sneak around and for some reason, followed Silverbolt and Sunset.

The two of them walked up the stairs of a studio, that led to two different offices.

“I’ll look at the left office, you look at the right one.” Said Silverbolt.

“Right.” Said Sunset as the two of them went their separate ways.

Sunset walked towards a door to the other side and was about to open, until she felt something behind her and turned around, and had a surprised look on her face.

“Hey, who are you?!!” said Sunset, causing the man to aim what appeared to be a gun of sorts, making her panic. “What are you…?!”

The man fired a ray, causing Sunset to scream, gaining Silverbolt’s attention as he turned around in shock.

“Sunset?!”

He then used his teleporting powers to the location. There was a sudden smoke, which sort of alarmed him. Then he saw a figure approaching.

“Where the hell is…?!” said Silverbolt, but was shocked to see Sunset, but in a business suit. “Sunset?!”

“I’m sorry sir, but do you have an appointment?” said Sunset in a different tone, “I’m afraid we cannot let anyone in unless they have an appointment.”

Silverbolt was stunned as he couldn’t believe what he was hearing. Did Sunset sound like a secretary. And she didn’t recognize him. Silverbolt quickly called the others.

“Guys, come quick!!” said Silverbolt, “Something’ happened to Sunset, I’ll send a location!!”

The guys, the Rainbooms and the Mane 6 went to the location, whilst Starlight, Sunburst and the Dazzlings stayed with the Young Six when they arrived and gathered them.

“Sunset, what happened to you?” said Silverbolt.

“I’m sorry sir.” Said Sunset, “But I’m afraid visiting hours will be over soon.”

Silverbolt was worried, for what that man did was out of line.

“Sunset…”

However, Silverbolt missed her arm and held her breast, causing her to gasp. She slightly moaned and glowed a bit, which surprised Silverbolt.

“P-please…do not trouble me with such things.” Said Sunset as she walked.

“Wait…” muttered Silverbolt as he realized something. When he and Sunset kissed, both their magics reacted, as if they were meant to be. And he saw her glow. If that were true…

He then smirked, realizing what he’ll have to do the moment she walked into the office.

“Oh, this is going to be very sexy.” Muttered Silverbolt.

He then walked over to Sunset and pinned her against the table with her posterior sticking out.

“Sir!!” exclaimed Sunset as Silverbolt lifted her skirt and removed her panties, revealing her luscious posterior and her womanhood. “I demand that you…!!”

But before she could continue, Silverbolt immediately began to place his tongue against her womanhood, making Sunset gasp with her head raised. Silverbolt continued to assault her womanhood with his tongue and continued to make her moan and fidget.

“Please…stop…” moaned Sunset, but then said “D-don’t stop. K-keep…going.”

Silverbolt didn’t let up, his tongue continued to dig into her womanhood, making Sunset’s legs shake, as she couldn’t handle the pleasure, especially the way he was massaging her posterior and her hips. And the more he did, the more Sunset gripped onto the table she was holding. It’s as if a part of her was really enjoying it.

Silverbolt, whilst he was licking into her womanhood, ended up losing up his pants in order for him to move at a fast pace in order for him to snap her out of it. The moment he stood up and exited his mouth from her womanhood, he ended up placing his member inside of her, which in turn made her gasp loudly.

Silverbolt then moved his hips as he thrusted into her, which caused slaps to be heard from her posterior as it kept contacting his skin as he was thrusting into her. During that time, he was able to unbutton her shirt, allowing her breasts to bounce out of the stuffy outfit, making her gasp as it was freed, but then she tensed up when his hands was playing with her breasts and gently moved it in a circular formation, which made her enjoy it even further.

He then pulls out and puts her on the table, where she ends up facing him. She had that flustered look on her face, and moans when his member went inside her and made her kiss him again as they kissed passionately whilst Silverbolt thrusted inside of her.

At the same time, the Mane 6, Rainbooms and their boyfriends popped up from out of nowhere.

“Silverbolt, are you…” said Fast Track before he was cut off.

All of them were shocked, embarrassed, and flustered at the same time for what they were doing.

“Really?!” exclaimed Rainbow, “They’re doing this?! Now?!”

However, to their surprise, they suddenly began to glow whilst they gained their pony features at the same time, especially the wings, which surprised them.

“Whoa,” said Princess Twilight, “So this is what they meant.”

“I know, I’ve never seen anything like it either.” Said Twilight.

They saw that the two of them were glowing brighter and brighter, which caused them to be slowly worried at the same time.

“Uh, what’s going on?” said Fluttershy worriedly.

“Uh, girls,” said Platinum, “Any of you know how to deploy a protective shield, now would be a good time.”

Rarity, Princess Twilight, and pony Rarity instantly deployed a shield. The moment they were brighter, Sunset and Silverbolt screamed in climax, causing the room to explode as the windows were shattered.

Everyone was stunned by the explosion, as well as what had just happened. After the magic died down, both Silverbolt and Sunset powered down as the two of them tried to steady their breathing. The two of them slowly looked at one another, whilst still kept panting a little just to calm their breathing a bit.

“Uh, you o…” said Silverbolt before Sunset cut him off.

She grabbed his head and kissed him passionately, to which he returned. They then broke the kiss as Sunset kept a smirk on her mouth.

“When this is over,” said Sunset, “You and I are seriously going to do a cosplay for something like this.”

Silverbolt couldn’t help but blush and smile sheepishly at the same time. Silverbolt was able to pull out whilst Sunset tried to rearrange her so called outfit whilst Silverbolt rearranged his pants.

“Looks live we’ve made quite the mess,” said Silverbolt, which Sunset looked around and couldn’t help but chuckle at the sight.

“We’ve seriously got to keep the magic under control.” Said Sunset.

“It’s not the only thing.”

The two turned and stared in shock, for the rest were staring at them in shock, awe, as well as embarrassed at the same time.

“Uh…” began Silverbolt, “How long have you lot…?”

“When we saw you humping each other before you glowed and ponied up.” Said Fast Track, much to Sunset and Silverbolt’s embarrassment.

“Although…” said Princess Twilight in a deadpanned tone, “Did you have to do this now?”

“Hey, part of me did it to help break whatever curse was on her!!” shouted Silverbolt.

“Curse?” said the others in confusion.

“Silverbolt and I split up to find two different offices,” said Sunset, “Just when I was about to enter, someone appeared from out of nowhere and shot me with what appeared to be a ray gun. Next thing I knew, I was dressed up like this, turning me into…whatever this is.”

“A business woman.” Said Silverbolt. Then looked at it over and said “Though I have to admit, it works for you. Even snug and revealing.

“S-be quiet!!” said Sunset in embarrassment as she shoved him a bit and giggled at the same time.

“But I can fix this.” Said Silverbolt before he snapped his fingers, causing Sunset to be back in her regular clothing, making her sigh in relief.

“Thanks.” Said Sunset gratefully, “Honestly, I have no idea business wear can be so uncomfortable.”

“Why do you think I hate wearing business suits whenever I wanted to go to a business meeting before I left Canterlot City for a full-on vacation.” Said Silverbolt.

“But who in Equestria would do this to Sunset?” asked pony Rarity.

“I think we’ll get those answers once we find Canter Zoom and the others.” Said Silverbolt, then he pulled out a map and said “Last we heard from them, they’re near the Daring Do set. We’ll just have to cut through here.”

“That sounds about right.” Said Princess Twilight. “Alright then, let’s get going.”

Everyone soon heads out, trying to find Canter Zoom. But the moment they passed; a random assistant spotted the Rainbooms.

“There you are!! Why aren’t you in costume?!” he said in a panic, “I’m gonna get fired for this!!”

“Wait, there’s been a mistake!!” said Twilight.

This however, gained their attention. “Where the heck are they going?” said Princess Twilight.

Just as the others arrived, to their surprise, they saw the Rainbooms in costume, dressed as the human version of the Power Ponies.

“Whoa,” said Spike, “They’re dressed as the Power Ponies.”

“But why?” said a confused pony Rainbow Dash.

Silverbolt groaned, as he had a feeling why. “I think I know.”

He walked over to the director, who wasn’t paying attention.

“Who are they?” demanded the director as he never saw them before.

“They’re the Power Ponies.” Said the assistant. But then he slumped and said “I’m fired, aren’t I?”

“So, fired.” Said the Director.

“No, he’s not.”

“And who are…?” said the Director as he looked, but gasped in shock when he saw Silverbolt. “S-Silverbolt?!”

Even the entire crew gasped when they saw him, whilst at the same time, the others walked over to him whilst the Rainbooms and dog Spike walked towards him. Everyone was surprised to see doubles.

“Friends from out of town.” Said Silverbolt, causing everyone to go “Aah” in understanding, as they understood where they came from.

“Wait, they know?” said a surprised pony Applejack.

“That’s right. And I pay them to keep quiet.” Said Silverbolt. Who then sighed and looked at the assistant. “And seriously, Latte? Why the heck would you think my girlfriend and her friends are the cast of the Power Ponies, they look nothing like the actresses. Even though they look snug and right in all the right places.”

This caused the Rainbooms to feel flustered all over again as he used those words again. Whilst at the same time, showed them the actresses’ pictures and said “Seriously, we’ve been over this.”

“I tried to tell him.” Said the Co-Director, whilst the crew groaned and realized the assistant made a mistake again.

“Besides, didn’t you read their blog?” said Silverbolt as he took out his phone and showed the Director the blog site. “They went for coffee and egg muffins this morning. They were on their way back, but their bus broke down halfway from the studios.”

“Again?!” shouted the Director, “That’s the third time, this month!!”

“And people think I’m the stupid one?” said one of the cameramen.

Silverbolt walked over and said to the assistant. “You, are going straight to the re-education studios, until you’re properly trained to tell the difference between Actresses and actual people.”

He sighed and said “Yes sir.”, before walking away.

After he was gone, Silverbolt looked at the director and said “Seriously, where the heck do you find these people?”

“He looked good on the resume.” Said the director.

“I told you; I’d send someone who could actually do a better job at assisting you, but you said no.” said Silverbolt, making the director wince.

“Uh, just out of curiosity,” asked Applejack, “How many assistants did y’all go through the last time we were here?”

The director was confused, until Pinkie said, “You know, that time when Canter Zoom was filming the latest Daring Do before his niece Juniper Montage ruined the set?”

“Oh yeah, heard about that.” Said the Director, then he sighed and said “Latte’s the third one we’ve gone through.”

“Third one?” said a confused Twilight, “And yet the latest guy couldn’t tell the difference between us and the Actresses that plays as the Power Ponies?”

“Well, look on the bright side.” Said Spike, “At least as way of apologizing they let us keep the costumes.”

“True,” said Rainbow Dash, “And because of it, we won first place at the costume party last year. The same day that photographer took our picture and rechanged the colors of the Power Ponies comics.”

“Hmmm,” pondered the director as he took out the comic, “That would explain why the color schemes were different for future issues.”

“Although as for Sunset,” said Silverbolt as he walked over to her wearing the Mane-iac costume, “This isn’t a good fix for her. I’ll fix it.”

He snapped his fingers and within a split second, her costume changed. Next thing anyone knew, Sunset was wearing black boots, black skin tight pants with flames on both sides. Black skin tight wear that covers the center of her body, with a belt buckle with her cutie mark up front, wearing a jacket that almost looks like her old one, but with flames on the side, black gloves with metal knuckles for punches, along with glasses that covers her eyes.

Everyone was amazed by what she was wearing, which even impressed her friends. Silverbolt displayed a mirror, which surprised Sunset as she saw herself.

“Whoa, the Phoenix?” said the director. Then he pondered, “You know, the creator of the Phoenix recently signed a deal with the comic book company that wants to integrate her into the Power Ponies. And she recently joined the team. I think we can make this work.”

“If that’s the case, here’s his number.” Said Silverbolt as he handed the card with a number on it to the director, “If you have any further questions, let him now immediately.”

“I will. Count on it.” Said the Director before everyone left the room.

Soon, everyone exited the studio, whilst the Rainbooms’ boyfriends looked at their girlfriends in superhero costumes. This however, didn’t go unnoticed with the girls.

“What?” said the Rainbooms sans Sunset.

“Nothing.” Said Velvet Heart.

“You girls look amazing in those outfits.” Said Summer Breeze.

“You girls can rescue us, any day.” Said Fast Track.

The girls couldn’t help but blush, whilst feeling shy and giggling at the same time.

“And I must say, Sunset darling,” said pony Rarity, “The costume you’re wearing is simply exquisite.”

“I’ll say.” Said Spike, “Way better than the Mane-iac costume. Plus, the green hair doesn’t work for you.”

“No kidding,” said dog Spike, “I like her hair the way it is.”

“Aw, thanks guys.” Said Sunset as she felt flattered whilst stroking her hair.

“Still, where are the others?” asked Princess Twilight, “It’s been a while since we’ve heard from Starlight and the others.”

“Hey, look.” Said Pinkie Pie as she pointed at the building ahead, “There’s Canter Zoom’s studio.”

“Twilight!!”

Everyone turned around and saw Starlight, Sunburst, the Dazzlings and the Young Six approach them.

“We were wondering where were…” said Starlight before she stopped as the rest were surprised to see the Rainbooms in superhero costumes.

“Uh, what are all of you wearing?” asked Sandbar.

“Oooh, you guys are dressed as the Power Ponies, and Sunset is dressed like the Phoenix.” Said Sonata in excitement, gaining confusion from the Dazzlings, “What, I like to read comics from time to time, especially online.”

“Huh,” said Smolder as she looked at them, “So this is what they look like as humans.”

“And to be honest, you girls look waaaay better than the ones who are originally play as them.” Said Silverstream. This caused the Rainbooms to blush again.

“So where do we go from here?” asked Adagio.

“We were just about to enter the studio.” Said Silverbolt.

“Then let’s get going.” Said Aria, “The sooner we get this done, the better.”

“Has Aria always this cranky?” asked Yona.

There came a few ‘oh yeah’ from Adagio, Sonata and Silverbolt, which caused the said Dazzling to grumble.

*************************************************************************************************

From within, the doors didn’t want to budge, until both Applejack and her pony counterpart delivered a strong kick, allowing them to go inside. They discovered the set was a bit empty, and noticed nobody was here.

“Whoa, where is everyone?” asked Princess Twilight.

“What kind of set is that?” asked Rainbow.

“Oh, that there is where the Tomb of the Dragon Lord is going to be.” Said Silverbolt, “Strange that they never called.”

“Wait,” said Spike as he sniffed a piece of fabric, “Isn’t this Juniper Montage’s?”

“Oh my, he’s right.” Said Rarity as she looked at the piece of fabric, “I recognize that ensemble anywhere.”

“Isn’t she that friend of yours that wanted to play as Daring Do?” asked Pony Rainbow Dash.

“That’s the one.” Said Applejack.

“Oh, I hope she’s okay.” Said Fluttershy in worry.

“I’ve got her scent; I’ll try to follow it.” Said Spike as he ran whilst following the scent, with everyone following. They soon arrived at what appeared to be a closet of sorts. “In there.” Said Spike.

Silverbolt ripped the doors opened, causing Juniper to fall out, with Silverbolt catching her and placed her on a chair, causing her to stir herself awake.

“Juniper, are you o, ah ya, ya, ya, ya!!” exclaimed Silverbolt as he quickly looked away.

Juniper was able to wake herself up and said “Silverbolt?”, before she noticed the others around her. “What are you guys doing here?”

Juniper was able to sit up and clear her head a bit, but then she noticed the guys were blushing and looking away, whilst some of the girls were somewhat embarrassed for her.

“What?” she replied confusingly.

“Uh,” said Twilight, “I believe you know the meaning of the word, topless?”

Juniper was confused and looked down, and to her shock, she was shirtless and wearing a bra. Making her yelp and cover her bosom with her arms.

“What the heck happened to my shirt?!” exclaimed Juniper.

“Mmmm,” pondered Rarity as she and her pony counterpart observed it. “From the looks of it, you must’ve struggled against who caught you.”

“So much that you ended up having your shirt torn off when they tried to pull you.” Said pony Rarity. Juniper was baffled by there being two of them.

“It’s okay.” Said Sunset, “These are my friends from Equestria. The same world where the magic from the mirror came from.”

Juniper widened her eyes in surprise, and said “So they’re from the pony world that you’re from?”

“That’s right.” Said Silverbolt. “Here, let me fix that.”

He snapped his fingers, causing her shirt to be instantly repaired, and replaced it with a very cute and beautiful blouse, which surprised her and the others.

“Wow.” Said Juniper, “How’d you know it was my favorite?”

“Your blog.” Said Silverbolt, now that all of them can look at her whilst he took out his phone, “You write really great fictional stories.”

Juniper was surprised when Silverbolt told her he read her stories. He placed his phone away and said “Now then, from the beginning, what happened?”

“I don’t know.” Said Juniper as she tried to recall what happened, “I was going to the studio to check up on my uncle because he wanted to see me after so long, next thing I knew, someone attacked me, I blacked out and was tied up and locked up in the closet.”

“Someone must’ve beaten us here.” Said Rainbow Dash.

“We’d better search for them.” Said Princess Twilight.

“They might still be in the studio somewhere.” Said Juniper, but then felt woozy.

“I’ll stay with her and help her,” said Silverbolt, “Everyone else look for Canter Zoom and the others.”

Everyone split up whilst Silverbolt and Sunset stayed with Juniper once they helped her sit down. Sunset was able to find some water whilst Roland was able to place medication inside, allowing it to evaporate, allowing Juniper to drink it.

“You doing okay, Juniper?” asked Sunset in concern.

“Just a little shaken.” Said Juniper, “I still have no idea who attacked me. Or, ahem, left me shirtless. I just hope Uncle Canter Zoom and the others are okay.”

“We’ll find them, don’t worry.” Said Silverbolt. Who then looked at her with softness in his eyes and asked “But how are you doing? I know it’s been a while since that magic mirror incident.”

Juniper looked down for a bit and said “Honestly, that day still haunts me. I don’t know what came over me when I used that. I just…felt like deep down, I just wanted people to like me.”

“Juniper,” said Silverbolt in concern, “I told you when we first met, I told you when you were fifteen, I told you before you worked for your uncle, and I’ll tell you now, you don’t have to pretend to be someone famous for people to like you. You just needed to be yourself.”

“He’s right, Juniper.” Said Sunset, “Besides, everyone loves having you over at Canterlot High. Even if there are a few bumps in the road.”

“I know.” Said Juniper, then she smiled and said “I’m just glad my uncle gave me another chance.”

“You can thank me for that.” Said Silverbolt, causing Juniper to look at him in shock.

“What?” said Juniper whilst surprised.

“That’s right,” said Sunset, “The CEO of the studios is a friend of Silverbolt. When they heard what happened, they called him over and both he and Canter Zoom got into an argument. He said that you should’ve been put to school instead of working. Something about a…diaper commercial?”

Juniper widened her eyes in shock and blushed madly. “You told them that?!”

“I didn’t, they wouldn’t stop talking about it.” Said Silverbolt. “Besides, no one remembers that anymore, that was years ago. But anyway, I argued with your uncle about this for hours, then I had to remind him that he owes me for helping him, and that I was calling in the favor. And threatened if he didn’t do what I said, I’d pull his funding and have his studio shut down.”

“What?” said Juniper surprised.

“Hey, I didn’t want to do this,” said Silverbolt, “But he should’ve listened when I told him, but he never did. I told him since the day he took you in, you should go to a school like Canterlot High. But he thought his way would help. But I told him that working at a place like this can go straight to your head. Which is what I was worried about when I told him that you working here was a bad idea. That you needed to have a chance to mingle and make real friends. Which is why I fought for you, so that you could have a chance to learn to have a normal life.”

Juniper was speechless from hearing this. “I…I don’t know what to say.” Said Juniper as she was in a total loss

“I know you wanted people to like you, but you don’t have to pretend to be someone else.” Said Silverbolt as he walked over to her. “You know what that makes you? Just like everyone else.”

“I…didn’t feel like I needed to be myself.” Said Juniper, “I felt like a failure.”

“Everyone fails what they want to do with their lives, Juniper.” Said Silverbolt before placing his hand on her shoulder. “But the true measure of a person, is how well they succeed into being who they are. For what matters is not on the outside, but in there.”

Juniper looked at where he was pointing, which surprised Juniper by his words of wisdom. “Just trust your heart and you won’t go wrong.”

“Guys!!” called out Spike.

“We got something!!” said dog Spike.

Everyone ran over to the direction of where Spike was calling out. Soon enough, everyone regrouped to where for the Rainbooms it was quite familiar.

“Wait, isn’t this the same closet I got locked in?” asked Rainbow.

“It is.” Said Juniper as she also recognized it.

“Don’t worry,” said Twilight, “I’ll unlock it with my…”

Suddenly Silverbolt grabbed it and ripped the door off, surprising everyone.

“Or we could do that.” Said Twilight.

Silverbolt went inside and looked around. And to his surprise, there were three unconscious people inside, AK Yearling, Chestnut Magnifico and Canter Zoom, all of them tied up.

“Uncle Zoom!!” said Juniper as she and the others quickly went inside.

They quickly went and untied them, with Canter coming around. He opened his eyes and saw Juniper. “Juniper?” said Canter Zoom, then saw Silverbolt. “Silverbolt?”

“Good to see you, despite the circumstances.” Said Silverbolt before going over to the others.

“Chestnut, darling.” Said Rarity.

“Are you okay?” asked a concerned Fluttershy.

“I am.” Said Chestnut, “Nothing a few therapy sessions won’t fix.”

“Depends what kind of therapy.”

Chestnut looked at Silverbolt surprised, then was timid and said “Oh, hello Silverbolt.”

“Chestnut.” Replied Silverbolt casually. “Behaving I hope?”

“I am.” Said Chestnut, “And thanks for the donation.”

“Anything for the foundation.” Said Silverbolt before he gave her a light hug, to which she returned. Then he went over to AK Yearling and asked “Dee-Dee? You okay?”

She struggled to stand, but leaned against him as she was able to catch her balance. “I am now, thank you.”

She hugged Silverbolt and said “It’s good to see you again.”

“You as well.” Said Silverbolt as he returned it before breaking the hug. “Now that happened?”

“I’m…not sure.” Said AK Yearling as she tried to remember. “I was on my way to the studio to look over the movie based on the book we worked on.”

“And I was also on my way to look over the script that Canter Zoom and AK Yearling worked on.” Said Chestnut Magnifico.

“Next thing we knew, we were ambushed and locked up in this room.” Said Canter Zoom.

“You’re not the only ones,” said Juniper, “Someone also caught me and stuffed me in a locker of sorts.”

“But who the heck could it be?” pondered Princess Twilight.

Sunset blinked and said “Wait…you guys don’t think it could be the same one that tried to do me in now, is it?”

“That could be possible.” Said Silverbolt, “But where he is now, we’ll need to start dig into this further.”

“But where do we start?” asked Adagio.

“Oh, maybe the security room?” asked Sonata. “I mean we can ask them to open the cameras for us so that we’ll be able to cover more ground.”

“That could work.” Said Aria, who couldn’t believe she just said that. Then cleared her throat and said “But what if they think we’re intruders?”

“I’ll call on ahead.” Said Canter Zoom, “They don’t just let anyone go into the security room.”

“Mind if you tagged along?” asked pony Rarity.

“Yeah, don’t want you guys to get captured again.” Said pony Rainbow Dash.

“Agreed.” Said Chestnut before Silverbolt handed her favorite latte and said “I so do not want to be locked up in here, again.”

Everyone then went outside in order to try and figure out what was going on.

*************************************************************************************************

Soon enough, everyone went outside, but then they noticed how empty it looked.

“Okay, this is getting freaky.” Said Starlight.

“She’s right.” Said Sunburst, “Where is everybody?”

Silverbolt suddenly felt Equestrian Magic coming towards them. Within an instant, he displayed his shield, protecting them at the same time from the beam, surprising everyone.

“Where did that come from?!” exclaimed Fast Track.

“Up there!!” shouted Rainbow as she pointed up.

When they looked up, they saw a man wearing some kind of suit, holding a ray gun with the Stem at the side. However, to their shock, it was someone that the Rainbooms knew.

“You?!” exclaimed the Rainbooms.

“Him?” said the Mane 6 minus Twilight in confusion.

“Ah know him!!” said Applejack, “That’s the varmint that turned me and mah friends into toddlers after we helped Wallflower a while back!!”

“Wait, what?” said the others in confusion.

“Uh, long story short.” Said Princess Twilight to those who didn’t know, “A while back after the memory stone incident, that guy used Equestrian magic and combined it with a ray gun that turned Sunset and the others into toddlers and took their geodes so that he and Abacus Cinch could harness its Equestrian Magic.”

“When Principle Celestia and Vice Principle Luna called us via Twilight’s journal,” said Spike, “Twilight took them back to Equestria. It took her and Princess Celestia and Starswirl a while, but they were able to turn them back to normal and were able to stop that guy from doing any more damage.”

“And it turned out,” said Sunset, “Abacus paid him to do it. But after we stopped him, we haven’t seen him ever since.”

“Oh, is that it?” said Silverbolt, then looked at the man whilst glaring, “Whoever you are, that Stem doesn’t belong to you, it belongs to my band. Surrender it now, and you won’t get hurt!!”

The man merely chuckled and said “Funny, coming from you. Cause unlike you, I’ve got an army.”

Suddenly, all of them heard a loud sound, causing them to look at another direction and saw a large puff of smoke.

“Okay, who’s overusing the smoke machine?” said Canter Zoom.

“Wait,” said Platinum, “What’s that sound?”

Then they saw tons of people they never saw before.

“Oh, you have got to be kidding, me!!” said Fast Track as he and the rest, minus Dusk, recognized them.

They saw them moving in motion that they haven’t seen before. Then they saw many people surrounding them as they sort of danced.

“Uh, what are they doing?” said Juniper.

“Moving like Michael Jackson,” said Platinum, “Long story short, he’s a famous musician/dancer from out world.”

“And what they’re doing? Partial dance fighting.” Said Velvet Heart.

They saw them moving closer as they moved into motion, as they began to surround them, which freaked out the others as they got closer.

(Rhythm Beat)

Looks like we’re not out yet

But these musicians ain’t our friends

Obscure and broke they hate us for not helping them out

(Fast Track)

They’re holding us back

We’re under attack

I can fight one or two

But not all of these dudes

(Platinum)

We need a plan

There’s too many of them

We can’t take them all

We gotta think like one of them

Silverbolt blinked. ‘Think like one of them’. Maybe…maybe they can do something about it, after all.

(Rhythm Beat)

Looks like they got us beat

Looks like we’ll meet defeat

What if we gave them no reason to hate us anymore

That’s when Silverbolt knew what he had to do, whilst looking at Canter Zoom at the same time.

(Silverbolt)

Give me a pen, so I write a check

So, they could buy some groceries and pay the rent!!

The moment Canter Zoom tossed a him a pen, Silverbolt wrote a few checks for a handful of people. When Silverbolt tossed the checks over to a handful, suddenly, energy electricity began to shoot from his groin area, making them shake and shiver as if they were being struck by something. Then in a flash, they were wearing white clothing with shoulder pads, gloves, and different hairstyles, which they looked surprised.

Though not as surprised as the others were, with the girls feeling flustered when they realized what Silverbolt did. Though it didn’t stop from there.

Fast Track held on what appeared to be at least ten packets of guitar strings for replacing the strings on a guitar for just in case.

(Fast Track)

Take my strings, you could probably use them!!

Fast Track tossed them his strings whilst he moved his hip in their direction and did the same thing to the next ten, which happened to have the same effect.

Rhythm Beat and Platinum were holding a couple of drumsticks and a few guitar pics.

(Rhythm Beat)

Take my sticks and play the drums!!

(Summer Breeze)

Take my pics and play the bass!!

(Platinum)

We’re gonna help you, rock this place!!!

Next thing they knew, they were paired together and sang together as the power of harmony was shining with them and transforming the so-called minions at the same time.

(Gods of music)

The only way to, get on through you

Is given it back, given to you

We can’t beat you, but we can help you

It took us some time to realize that we are just like you

They were surprised to see that they transformed half of the folks.

(Rhythm Beat)

I can’t believe, how good it feels to be

Given back to you, given back to me

(Gods of music)

We can’t beat you, but we can help you

It took us some time to realize that we are just like…

Suddenly, more ragged rock stars came, and to their shock, they were…

“Junkies?!” exclaimed Juniper.

“I thought we got rid of them!!” exclaimed Canter Zoom.

(Fast Track)

Oh, no!! We might’ve beaten them.

(Rhythm Beat)

But these junkies!!

They need us to feed em!!

(Platinum)

We need some drugs!!

(Silverbolt)

I don’t have any, I’ve been clean for 3 decades!!

However, among them, Dusk Light was wincing, as he made a quick call for help. Before they knew it, a clown had suddenly arrived with a bag of.

(Clown)

Cocaine!!

I’ll fend, them off. You stop that man!!

The Clown blew it to them, causing them to transform as well, taking all of them by surprise.

(Gods of music)

The only way to, get on through you

Is given it back, given to you

(Rhythm Beat)

It feels so good, it feels so good

It feels so good, it feels really good

(Gods of music)

We can’t beat you, but we can help you

It took us some time to realize that we are just like…

Pretty soon they were beaten, with the man glaring at them and said “No matter, I will still have my revenge!!”

He shot a beam at them, causing some to yelp, until Fast Track suddenly blocked it. To their surprise, he wasn’t affected, which baffled the man.

“Why didn’t it work on you?!” said the man.

“We created those stems long ago!!” said Silverbolt, “They were never yours to begin with!!”

The man yelled as he suddenly jumped down and aimed his ray gun at them, until he pulled a remote out and said “Good thing I always come prepared!!”

Next thing they knew, a bunch more robots appeared, nearly surrounding them. Everyone was prepared for the worst, until Silverbolt suddenly smirked and sang.

(Silverbolt)

It’s some kind of love

It’s some kind of fire

Everyone was surprised by what he was doing, until the others followed suit.

(Fast Track)

I’m already up

(Platinum)

But you lift me higher

(Summer Breeze)

You know I’m not wrong

You know I’m not lyin’

(Velvet Heart)

We do it better

(Dusk Light)

We do it better

Then they suddenly sang whilst they slowly started to glow.

(Gods of music)

And I don’t mind if the world spins faster

The music’s louder, the wave’s get stronger

And I don’t mind if the world spins faster

Faster, faster

Suddenly, they grabbed the Rainbooms and Dazzlings and began to dance with them, which surprised the girls whilst the others watched, especially others who were hiding.

(Gods of music)

Just let me take you to a better place!!

I’m gonna make you kiss the sky tonight!!

Yeah, if you let me show the way!!

I’m so excited, to see you excited!!

Before they knew it, the Rainbooms and Dazzlings sang with them, with the Dazzlings surprised that they could sing too, though for some reason, the stranger felt intimidated by them.

(Gods of music, Rainbooms and Dazzlings)

I’ll take you to a better place!! (I’ll take you to a better place!!)

And baby, you can love me on the way

We’re flying to outer space!!

I’m so excited (so excited), to see you excited!! (so excited)

Suddenly, the Dazzlings, Rainbooms and Gods of Music began to glow whilst they were dancing at the same time.

(Gods of music, Rainbooms and Dazzlings)

And I don’t mind if the world spins faster

The music’s louder, the wave’s get stronger

And I don’t mind if the world spins faster

Suddenly, they began to float in the air, with everyone watching and the stranger watching in fear.

(Gods of music, Rainbooms and Dazzlings)

Faster, faster, faster!!!

Suddenly, they posed as the gods of music turned into their godly forms, the Rainbooms in their pony up forms, and the Dazzlings…also in their pony up forms. Whilst all of them posed at the same time.

(Gods of music, Rainbooms and Dazzlings)

Just let me take you to a better place!!

Suddenly, a Rainbow wave began to wash over the studios, as if they were dispelling dark magic, but bringing life to the studio, with the stranger defeated, his army destroyed, and the ray gun flying out of his hand before Silverbolt grabbed it and pulled out the stem, before destroying the ray gun.

Silverbolt and the others powered down as they landed. Then turned to the girls when they’ve landed.

“Well, that was something.” Said Fast Track.

“Yeah, we didn’t get turned into babies like in that last fanfic.” Said Pinkie Pie randomly.

Rhythm Beat couldn’t help but chuckle and said “Pinkie, only you can…”

He suddenly stopped in mid-sentence when he had a surprised look on his face. Which the others noticed. “What?” said Princess Twilight.

“Uh…when did the Dazzlings get pony features?” asked Rhythm Beat.

To their surprise, the Dazzlings did get pony features like the girls. Ears and tails, except Aria has Pegasus wings.

“Whoa,” said Sonata as she was surprised, “We have pony features like you girls!!”

“But why?” said Aria confusingly, “We’re sirens.”

“Well, not anymore ever since we shattered your siren forms during the Battle of the Bands.” Said Pinkie Pie, which shocked a handful of folks.

“Oh…that explains it.” Said Adagio.

At the same time, they saw the man getting up, with Silverbolt and the gods of music surrounding him at the same time. They also had their arms crossed as they looked at him.

“Why did you do this?!” said Silverbolt. “The Rainbooms didn’t do anything to you!! And yet you ended up turning them into babies like some twisted scheme of yours!!”

“Hey, money is money.” Said the man, “Cinch paid me well.”

“She’s dead.” Said Silverbolt, which surprised the man, “After what she nearly did to the girls, she had it coming.”

“And what about the other?” said Velvet Heart, knowing there had to be more to it.

“To get revenge you seven!!” shouted the man as he was ticked off.

“What?!” said Fast Track, “What the heck did we ever do to you?!”

The man growled and was angry. “You selfish ingrates still haven’t figured it out, have you?”

Silverbolt and the others were confused by this.

“Fine then.”

The man got up and removed his jacket, which got them ready. When all of a sudden, he did what no one expected.

He did an armpit fart, and played a tune. Naturally everyone was confused and weirded out by this. However, Silverbolt then clicked. That face, the tune, the pit. Which could only mean one thing as he widened his eyes in shock. The moment the man was done.

“Oh my gosh,” said Silverbolt in shock, “You’re Billy Bossley!!”

Fast Track, Velvet Heart, Platinum, Summer Breeze, and Rhythm Beat gasped in shock, with Fast Track shouting “The armpit fart guy?!!”

“What the hell is he doing here?!” shouted Platinum Breeze.

Everyone was confused whilst the six out of seven of the Gods of Music spoke to Bossley.

“That’s right.” Said Bossley, “The same sweet innocent kid you beat all those years back. Ever since you lot beat me; I’ve been plotting my revenge after Dark Void recruited me. And once I did, I’d have my revenge and be famous once and for all.”

“Are you serious right now?” said Silverbolt in disbelief.

“There was nothing sweet and innocent about you, you jerk.” Said Rhythm Beat.

“Yeah, you’ve been mean to us ever since we first got into the orphanage, and we didn’t even do anything to you.” Said Summer Breeze.

“You were just looking for an excuse to hurt someone because they actually worked for what they wanted whilst you only stole what was never yours.” Said Velvet Heart.

“And it wasn’t our fault you didn’t become famous?” Said Fast Track, “You’re the one who got yourself permanently banned because of what you did to the judges and Velvet Heart.”

“We’re the only ones who moved on and you’re the one who refused to grow up.” Said Silverbolt sternly. “Oh yeah, and one more thing, we’ve told you once, we’ve told you a million times before the talent show. Armpit farting…”

“IS NOT A TALENT!!!” shouted six out of seven of the Gods of Music.

Bossley screamed and charged, only for Silverbolt to punch him so hard, he literally flew against the wall.

“Security!!” shouted Canter Zoom.

The security arrested Bossley and took him away. But before they could do that…

“Hey Bossley!!” shouted Silverbolt.

Bossley looked at him as Silverbolt approached him.

“Seeing that you like turning my beloved and her friends into babies.” Said Silverbolt, which caused Sunset to blush when he said that, “How about a taste of your own medicine!!”

He shot Bossley with his power, causing the guy to scream as he shrank down and was in his clothes. Everyone was confused, until the police lifted the shirt and were shocked to see that Bossley was turned into a baby.

“Don’t worry, I erased his memory.” Said Silverbolt as Security took him away. “Hopefully he’ll grow up to be a little nicer.”

Silverbolt then groaned and held onto his forehead.

“I swear, he’s still the same pig as he ever was.” Said Silverbolt.

“No kidding.” Said Fast Track.

The six of them then saw that everyone was staring at them in shock and confusion.

“Okay, quick question…who was that guy?!” said Rainbow.

The six guys groaned, with them deciding to explain everything.

“That guy back there, was Billy Bossley.” Said Silverbolt.

“See, back when we lived in the Orphanage before we became friends, Billy Bossley was the Orphanage bully among the group.” Said Fast Track.

“He always hurt others just to get what he wanted, but didn’t have the balls to be patient.” Said Velvet Heart.

“And remember the talent show that was our big break?” asked Platinum, to which they nodded, “Bossley was one of the contestants.”

“We kept telling him that armpit farting wasn’t a talent,” said Summer Breeze, “But he was so full of himself, he thinks that the world revolves around him and that he should be famous.”

“And unfortunately, he was also a bad sore loser.” Said Silverbolt, “He ended up throwing a hissy fit and beat up half the judges, including Velvet Heart, which ended up making him have a fear of steel chairs.”

Fluttershy gasped and looked at Velvet Heart in shock, as everyone noticed the look on his face. “So that’s why you couldn’t go near them.” Said Fluttershy as she held him close, to which he appreciated.

“And because of that,” said Fast Track, “He ended up being permanently banned for unnecessary roughness and beating them up. He was even sent to juvie for four years.”

“We had already left by the time he was returned to the Orphanage.” Said Platinum, “But when we heard it was going to be shut down because of lack of funds, we decided to build a new home for them to live in.”

“But Bossley on the other hand refused and stayed in a worn-out building.” Said Rhythm Beat. “He wanted to get back at us, but we told him that what happened was his own fault, and he wouldn’t even listen.”

“We thought we’d never hear from him again ever since we started our tour.” Said Velvet Heart.

“And why the heck would Dark Void hire him?” said Summer Breeze, “He hates Bossley more than anybody.”

“Story for another time.” Said Silverbolt, “I’d say we’d better get going.”

“Wait,” said Canter Zoom, “You guys can’t.”

“Why not?” asked a confused Twilight.

“Well for one it’s almost night.” Said AK Yearling as she pointed at the sun, which surprised the others.

“Wow.” Said Rainbow surprised. “Guess we were so wrapped up with stopping the guy and finding the stims, we completely forgot about it.”

“Would it be alright if we gave you guys rooms for the night?” said Chestnut.

“Wait, what?” said Rarity, “But we simply cannot stay here, there isn’t a hotel here.”

“Actually.” Said Silverbolt as he pointed at the other direction, showing a hotel mean for studio workers and other visitors, which surprised everyone.

“Wait, you built a hotel here too?” said a surprised Twilight. “How?”

“With a little bit of wheeling, a little bit of dealing, a little bit of magic.” Said Silverbolt, “And POISON!!!”

They were surprised by the last part, with Silverbolt saying “Don’t ask. You do not wanna know what I had to use the poison for.”

“Trust us, you really don’t.” said Canter Zoom as he and half the workers shuddered at the thought.

“Although,” said Juniper Montage as she couldn’t get over what she had just seen.
“Is this what you went through all the time? Magic wise, I mean.”

“Oh, you have no idea.” Said Silverbolt whilst he, his band, and their girlfriends, even the Mane 6, Starlight, Sunburst, the Young Six and two Spikes rolled their eyes at the same time.

“If magic sometimes gets crazy here, I don’t wanna know what it’s like back at your home.”

“Which, is probably for the best.” Said Spike.

“Though, I am curious about something,” said Juniper, then whispered, “What’s the new movie like?”

Silverbolt smirked and said “I’m glad you asked.”

After Silverbolt and his group left with their groups, the studios went back to work. They were at Canter Zoom’s office, with Silverbolt locking the room behind them.

“Whatever happens, does not leave this room.” Said Silverbolt.

“No worries, we won’t tell a soul.” Said Sunset.

However, Silverbolt flexed an eyebrow and looked at a selective few, knowing how they could be when it comes to secrets. Causing all of them to say, “Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye.”

Silverbolt smiled in satisfaction and pulled out a different stone.

“During my magic experiments,” began Silverbolt as he explained, “I created a stone that can view a few things based off from my imagination. Then when I met Yearling last time, I was able to show it. We both ended up combining our talents and the next thing we knew; we ended up making a new Daring Do project. I even showed it to Canter Zoom and Chestnut.”

“So how does it work?” asked Juniper.

“I’ll show you.” Said Silverbolt as he used his magic to display a screen against the wall and began to play it.

The footage showed a forest from within, until a person ran by as the screen faded to black, which surprised the group.

“I used to think I’ve discovered every inch of this world.” Said Daring Do’s voice as if she was narrating.

The person ran by through a thick bush whilst it looked like she was carrying a sword.

“But it turned out I was wrong.”

The person was suddenly in a different location, whilst she picked up a tablet, showing two different clans. One in armor, and one in a hood.

“Because as it turned out; I stumbled upon something far more dangerous. As this was much bigger than I had expected.”

They then saw a temple, with people wearing armor that resembles on the tablet, with leaders talking to one of their trusted generals.

“As it turns out, the Hierarchy had goals of their own to take over the world with every secret they had discovered.”

They showed some kind of temples around the world that Daring Do had discovered in the past, all of which were burnt down and destroyed, whilst Rainbow and the others were surprised to see what was going on as all of them were now getting into the story.

“They took everything from us, whilst they appear to be looking for something far greater than any treasure they could’ve imagined.”

They saw the person was standing right in front of a handful of folks who were dressed in strange hoods like the ones from the tablet.

“But I realized, that I wasn’t alone against this threat.”

The person was getting ready whilst gearing up for something important.

“My name is Daring Do, and I’m one of the world’s greatest treasure hunters.”

The person revealed to be Daring Do, whilst holding a torch in the air with concerns on her face, which surprised everyone in the room.

“The time has come for the greatest secret of this world…to stand in the light”

The scene then showed a Zeppelin, which had the symbol of the Treasure Guardians, flying by the sunset, with Daring Do looking out at the open, whilst at the same time, Silverbolt sang, considering there was already melody of the music.

(Silverbolt)

A million miles from where we stand

The next scene showed her walking alongside two hooded figures after they had climbed up the stairs, whilst she saw the giant twin dragon statues.

(Silverbolt)

A different time, a different place

The next scene showed they walked up to a statue of a warrior in armour in the shape of a dragon, holding an ancient sword called the Sword of Dragons.

(Silverbolt)

A secret hidden, as it took shape

They showed the hooded figure talking to her, whilst she amazingly looked at the sword that was in front of her, whilst outside, it showed a beautiful eagle flying by.

(Silverbolt)

But when it stood in the light

Then it showed the hooded man was holding her, which revealed to be Indiana Columbus, shocking Daring Do in the process, whilst it showed another scene of their zeppelin flying through a thick black smoke near a volcano.

(Silverbolt)

It’s far too late, yeah…!!!

They showed a laser beam firing from one of the temples, whilst it showed a handful of soldiers running, then revealed themselves to the Hierarchy army dressed in red and black.

(Silverbolt)

There’s no one left, to help me out

The scene showed the three armoured warriors, which revealed to be the Hierarchy leaders, whilst all of them flew in their large battle barges, heading straight for theirs as there were many planes flying towards them.

(Silverbolt)

There’s no one left to now

The next scene showed a priestess of the ancient Dragon Clans walked by, with both Indiana Columbus and Daring Do looking at her as they couldn’t trust her, whilst at another scene, showed an ancient past of Dragon Clan and Treasure Guardians being at odds with one another.

(Silverbolt)

There’s no one left, to help me out

The next scene showed Daring Do stare out of a window of a tall building as the sun sets, whilst looking at a picture of her and Indiana Columbus being an item many years ago, which made her shed a tear, whilst at another scene, showed Indiana Columbus fighting against the Hierarchy mercenaries.

(Silverbolt)

There’s no one left to save me now

Everyone was surprised to see Indiana Columbus fighting against them head on. Whilst in the next scene, showed a fleet of Treasure guardian Zeppelins and Barges attacking the Hierarchy stronghold as all of them armed their cannons, with one of the clan chiefs of the Treasure Guardians leading the attack.

(Silverbolt)

It’s not too late

The next scene showed one of the Hierarchy ships exploded when the Treasure Guardians fought back. In the next scene after the title showed “A true destiny”, the Priestess of the Dragon Clan spoke to Daring Do to follow her path, whilst the next scene showed the Treasure Guardians attacking in full force as they charged on through whilst the Hierarchy were overrun.

(Silverbolt)

To fight for your heart, to fight for love

The next scene showed the Hierarchy choppers flying by fighting as it shot one of the Guardian Zeppelins, whilst the next scene, after the title showed “Two heroes”, showed Daring Do and Indiana Columbus dancing together at what appears to be a festival, whilst the next scene showed the Hierarchy troops defended their ground whilst the Treasure Guardian forces swung like a jungle man, holding their swords and staffs.

(Silverbolt)

To fight for your path, and what you believe

We’re standing as one

The next scene showed Daring Do crying and begging to stop as she was being held down by the Hierarchy forces, with Indiana Columbus standing beside his fellow Guardians as he aimed his pistol at the leaders.

(Silverbolt)

We believe in adventure

And we believe in love

The next scene, after it showed “An incredible adventure”, showed Daring Do flying a Zeppelin, with a handful of Treasure Guardians cheering for her, whilst at the same time, it showed a scene where Indiana Columbus proposed to her, whilst she was surprised and shed a tear, with Sunset and the others greatly surprised.

(Silverbolt)

There’s no one left, to help me out

There’s no one left to save me now

The next scene showed Indiana saving Daring Do whilst the two of them nearly fell off a cliff near the edge of a mountain, whilst the next scene showed the two of them running down the hall and appeared to be exploding, with the next scene showing the Priestess of the Dragon Clans passing down her gift to the two of them, whilst the next scene showed Indiana tossing Daring Do the Sword of Dragons whilst she raised it in the air as it glowed from its blinding flame.

(Silverbolt)

There’s no one left, to help me out

There’s no one left to save me now

The title showed “Daring Do and the Tomb of the Dragon Lords”, whilst the next scene showed both Daring Do and Indiana Columbus standing near a ledge as the two of them were holding each other whilst looking at the sunset. The two of them looked at one another, as they began to feel the love in the process.

Indiana Columbus: If we both still believe in love.

Daring Do: Then we’re never alone.

The two of them kissed whilst the sun began to set. The footage then faded to black, with Silverbolt turning the magic off. Everyone was surprised to see it. Then slowly looked at Silverbolt.

“That…was…” said Rainbow whilst trying to process this. Then said out loud “AWESOME!!!”

Everyone cheered and got excited over it at the same time, with Silverbolt placing the stone away.

“That’s amazing!!” said Twilight, then looked at AK Yearling and said “You really thought up a few scenes?!”

“Some of them,” said AK Yearling, “We’re currently working on the difficult scenes, then to scenes that help make things easier.”

“And after that, we were able to work on a few scenes too.” Said Canter Zoom, “We were also able to hire extra people for special effects and also making sure that we’re on schedule.”

“And I was able to fund the whole thing, so we won’t have to worry about any budget cuts.” Said Silverbolt.

“Still, it’s amazing though.” Said Juniper.

“Oh, don’t worry, I’ve got something planned for you too.” Said Silverbolt, gaining Juniper’s attention. “I recently heard that you’ve been taking some lessons when it comes to acting.”

“Y-yeah,” said Juniper sheepishly, “When my uncle told me about me not having any experience, I wanted to try to train to become an actress. And I was recently part of a few plays too.”

“Oh, I remember that.” Said Rarity, “It was also the same time that I was able to make you something breathtaking for the play.”

“As long as your sibling didn’t get jealous and nearly ruined your career.” Muttered pony Rarity.

“What was that?” asked Rarity in confusion when she looked at her counterpart.

Pony Rarity sighed and said “Nothing.”, but Rarity knew there was more to it, so she’ll have to ask for it later.

“So where do we need to go next?” asked Princess Twilight.

Silverbolt took out the map and looked at it.

“Mmmm,” pondered Silverbolt, “According to the map, the last two stems are at two different locations.”

Rarity took a look and gasped. “Wait, I know where that is!! That’s in Equestria Land!!”

“Ooooh, and that one is at the place where me and Sunset watched Post Crush whilst she was stuck in a time loop at the same time!!” said Pinkie Pie.

“Wait, those two are there?!” said Rainbow Dash in shock.

“Why in tarnation would the stems wanna go there?!” said Applejack.

“Uh, you kinda lost us there.” Said pony Rainbow Dash.

“Equestria Land is a theme park where Vignette Valencia opened.” Said Fluttershy, “Although…she was…a bit obsessive of being perfect.”

“A bit?!” said Rainbow, “Try a lot!! When we first met her, she talked to us, but then got obsessive in changing our appearance to fit her vision!! And we didn’t like it!! It’s no wonder everyone quit because of her.”

“And a while ago, her phone was infected with Equestrian Magic. She made a few things disappear, then replaced them with holograms.” Said Applejack. “Ah…tried to tell Rarity, but she didn’t believe me. Even though ah was a little jealous the way Rarity and Vignette were buddied up, ah found out what happened to Rainbow and Fluttershy and tried to warn her, but she still didn’t believe me.”

“And I wasn’t any better either.” Said Rarity sadly. “I ended up losing sight of why we tried to apply for jobs in the first place. And I ended up letting her play me with false flattery. Though I was thankful we were able to stop her, what I did nearly costed me my friends.”

“I…know what you mean.” Said pony Rarity, “I ended up guilting my friends into making my outfits when somepony I thought was my friend used my generosity against me and wanted to win the contest.”

“Wait, seriously?” said Platinum perplexed. “Why would you do that? And yes, I know you were stressed and on short notice. But let’s not forget, you were the one who brought your friends there to watch the show in the first place. And it’s fine if you’re generous to plenty of folks over at the city. But when it comes to contests, that’s a bad way for anyone to take advantage of your generosity. Even Rainbow and Fast Track know better than that.”

“Excuse me?” said the two of them at the same time as if they were insulted.

“Need I remind you two of Lightning Dust and Fast Pace?” said Platinum, making the two of them wince.

“Plus, that was a little bit selfish of you.”

They looked at Silverbolt, who decided to give her his own two cents.

“When you guilt them into working your clothes for you, all you did was scream and yell at them, ordered them and accused them for random accusations. They wanted to see the play that you paid their tickets for, and they really wanted to see the city. They ended up missing out all the fun because of your selfishness. And another lesson you needed to learn about Generosity. It’s not just about giving because of one’s generous spirit, it also comes in the form of appreciation, and you didn’t show any appreciation for the efforts or sacrifices you forced your friends to make.”

Silverbolt blinked at that, then crossed his arms, and said in realization. “Oh great, now I’m starting to act like those morons who accused you of being a diva, whilst also thinking you were selfish and egotistical.”

Pony Rarity knew Silverbolt didn’t mean it, but then she looked down in guilt, realizing that she acted like a complete mule to her friends, and that it was a miracle none of them abandoned her at Manehattan when things got too far.

“Anyway,” said Sunset, not wanting this to get awkward. “The other is a place where me and my friends were at the music festival.”

“But…no thanks to me, Sunset and I ended up being kicked out.” Said Pinkie Pie in guilt.

“Wait, what?” said Silverbolt as he was surprised he didn’t hear this, especially her friends as they didn’t hear the full version.

“I really wanted to see Post Crush.” Said Sunset, “But because of Pinkie Pie, she only wanted to have fun, and not to mention her constantly want to have some churros, she got the two of us kicked out. I didn’t want to accept her apology because I thought she ruined things.”

“Pinkie!!” groaned Rhythm Beat. “I thought I told you to control yourself whenever being around food or going to festivities. Or did you forget what happened last year at the Cake festival?”

“I’m sorry!! I couldn’t help it when it comes to food!!” said Pinkie.

“Pinkie, we’ve been over this already.” Said Applejack as she shook her head.

“Then when the Time Twirler affected me, I ended up repeating the same day.” Said Sunset, “I tried again, but Pinkie got us kicked out again. Then I tried to go on my own and avoiding her, and I ended up hurting her feelings. Then when the Dazzlings were there, I thought they were responsible, but then I ended up getting angry and lamented over Pinkie Pie ruining things for me. And I hurt her…again.”

“Sunset,” said Princess Twilight, “I know you didn’t mean to hurt her, but you should’ve kept your temper under control. I know how much you wanted to see another perform, but sometimes we have to make sacrifices for our friends, even if it’s something you’re not comfortable with.”

Sunset sighed and said “I know.”

“Wow.” Said Silverbolt. “I had no idea.”

“And to be fair…I wasn’t exactly nice either.” Said Sunset. “I wanted to see the show so badly…I forgot the reason why we went there in the first place.”

Silverbolt placed his hand on her shoulder for comfort, to which she accepted.

“Wow,” said AK Yearling surprised, “I had no idea you girls were through a lot.”

“Trust us, it ain’t no walk in the park.” Said Applejack.

“Well, we’d better turn in for the night.” Said Silverbolt as he stretched a bit.

“We’ll take you to your rooms.” Said Canter Zoom as he guided them out. For tomorrow’s another day.
