Rainbow groaned as she sat up and saw Phoenix tied and gagged with an annoyed look on his face. "AJ. Why is Phoenix tied up?" Rainbow asked flatly.

"Psy let me in. And I found that mut balls deep in ya. When were ya gonna tell us y'all was in heat?" Applejack snapped. "Y'all know what can happen if someone got a whiff of ya? They take advantage of ya like he did."

Rainbow facepalmed as Phoenix rolled his eyes. "AJ. First off, I'm not the only one who was in heat and you know that. Second, he had plenty of chances to take advantage of me and didn't. Third, even when I said I'd do anything he told me to do, he gave me the final choice. And lastly, why does it matter who I take as my mate?"

Applejack blinked in shock as Rainbow got up and went over to her mate and smirked down at him. "But… he… you…" Applejack stammered. "Think of the kids. Of Equestria! What are you going to do?"

Rainbow knelt down and pulled the gage from his mouth. "Simple. I will come with you." Phoenix replied for Rainbow before she pulled him into a kiss.

"Can you stop showing off?" She teased. "That's my job." The two laughed as Applejack scratched the back of her head.

"I guess that works… anyway. Get dressed. The teams waiting on deck." Applejack sighed before walking out.

Once the two were dressed and on deck Phantom brought up a hologram of a news report. "We scanned the planet news for anything that matched the missing ponies and dragon when this came up."

The video showed a stallion bent over a trash can as a bull was balls deep in him. "We believe the Bull is a local mob boss." Psy explained. And from what Applejack told us. The stallion is named Soren."

Applejack held up her fingers and started counting down. '3…2…1" She pointed to Rainbow who fell over laughing.

"No wonder he was so obsessed with CloudKicker." She gasped. "To think I asked that guy out."

After a few moments the rest of the team joined in on the laugh. "On the plus side." Bloom went on. "We found where they're staying. But that's the end of the good news."

"What's the bad news?" Phoenix asked.

Psy and Phantom glanced at each other. "We also found Twi…" Applejack sighed. She didn't want to say it. But it had to come out sooner or later. "She… she's acting strange."

Phoenix glanced at his team who brought up a badge causing Phoenix the snarl. "We don't have a choice." He hissed. "We'll have to get her last."

"But Twilight." Rainbow started before getting cut off by Phoenix.

"THAT IS AN ORDER!!!" He snapped. Taking a few deep breaths, he pulled the shocked mare into a hug. "I won't put you in that kind of danger."

"Am I missing something?" Bloom asked.

"We'll be fine." Rainbow confirmed. "You can trust us."

"Rainbow." Psy sighed. "Twilight has the strongest will and mind out of your friends. Right?" Rainbow nodded. "And she wouldn't harm or allow anyone to be harmed. Right?" Another nod. "Then explain this." She sighed pressing a button to show Twilight stepping on a rat who was trying to pull away.

They watched in shock as Twilight stomped on his spine as she took notes and spoke about something. She then stepped over him to a dog that was slowly being choked by a robot. And after looking him over, waved her hand and watched with a smile as it snapped his neck.

"Did y'all see what I saw?" Bloom asked.

"I sure did. Back up and zoom in on her clipboard." Applejack instructed. After a moment they got a close look at a tuft of pink mane. "They got Fluttershy too."

"As long as Fluttershy is safe. Their hold on your friend isn't going to bend. More reason for us to look for the others." Phoenix instructed.

"You mean like Scoots?" Rainbow asked. "The rat had a father that looked like hers. Just older…"

Phoenix turned to leave the room. "Send me the location. I'll go get them."

"Not without me, lover boy. You still owe me a drink." Rainbow called running after him.

"Should we tell them where they're going?" Bloom asked as the others shrugged.

"Cap is in a rut. It's about time he met her again." Phantom replied with a laugh. "Besides…" an image of a young Scootaloo appeared next to her older self. "Something tells me. He's not going to be back for a while."

"Not if those boys are as hungry as you made them look." Psy sighed. "Hopefully ponies aren't the possessive type."

Applejack and Apple Bloom gulped as they looked at each other in concern. "A few are like that… But Dash can be a bit… difficult." Applejack sighed.

Phoenix and Rainbow got into a shuttle and took off to the destination.

"Here's how we'll do this." Phoenix explained. "Whenever we have to go into a building. You wait outside till I call you in."

"Why is that?" Rainbow asked as she adjusted her top. "Is it because I look like a hooker?"

"No. And you look more like a punk school girl." He replied. "It's so you stay safe. If THEY show. I need you at the door to keep people from coming in."

"Got it." Rainbow sighed.

"We're landing." He sighed as they finished their preparations. "Did you get the name of the place?"

"I think the computer says… Kitty something."

Phoenix facepalmed. "Change of plans. You're coming in with me."

"Why the change?"

"You'll see." He sighed as they landed. Getting out of the ship, they make their way over to the bar as Phoenix grabs Rainbow by the hip and pulls her close. "Keep your hair and wings hidden till we have the place cleared." He warned looking around. "Once inside, get a table. Don't Let them know who you are."

Author's Note

Time for the drama! Or should something spicy happen?

Changed a name so a later chapter would make sense.
