More like Bang-a-palooza!!!

The flight had calmed down after the flight attendant broke up the fight between Rainbow Dash and a Karen. Both winding up with warnings and to keep it down next time and not start another scurry or will be banned from flying after their round trip. And so, within due time, the plane arrived at its destination. When they got there, they were amazed by how big the place was.

The Rainbooms all look in awe. It was like a futuristic amusement park and a luxurious getaway spot all in one. The group all grabbed their luggage from the airport and headed down the path, all keeping a distance from each other. While Inferno and Israel trailed behind them; with the former rubbing his face for a…ahem… specific reason.

"Welcome to Unity Island! The newest, most brightly popular Spring Break getaway spot for college students and high school graduates!" A man said over the loudspeakers. "Come check in at our finest hotel on the island, the Unity Grand Plaza! After you check in, come and check out our most popular tourist attractions, starting with our Unity Parade, "The Future Is Now!" And the world famous roller coaster, the "Jet Stream!"

"Is it just me, or does that voice sound familiar?" Twilight asked herself.

"The Jet Stream, huh? Sounds like something you'd like… right, Rainbow Dash?" Fluttershy asked with a smug look.

"S-S-Shut up! I, uh… I can devour rides like that for breakfast," Rainbow said nervously.

Inferno silently whispers to Israel as he still continues to rub the side of his face. “Fluttershy teasing Rainbow? I think our flight flew into an alternate dimension?” he claimed.

"Mhmm… maybe," Israel simply nodded.

And in a second, Israel also noticed Inferno constantly rubbing his face ever since they got off the plane.

"Boi, what the hell are you rubbing your face for?" Israel asked, quirking an eyebrow.

Inferno stops rubbing his face and turns to stare Israel dead in the eye. “Hey! You’re not the one that just had another girl's butt smash against your face on a plane!” He silently exclaimed before he then pointed his finger towards Applejack. “Especially when it's the butt of one of your closest friends!” He spoke silently with a freaked out tone.

"Okay, so you got a face full o' booty. Good for you," Israel shrugged.

“Good for me? Sunset and I finally reunited after 6 months; dating for 2 years mind you, and how am I gonna explain to her that my face was smothered by one of her ex-friend's butt?!” Inferno spoke quielty in an anxious tone. “It’ll be embarrassing… for the three of us.” he gestured to himself, Sunset, and Applejack. “You would understand right? I mean you and Fluttershy remember the ‘locker incident’ back in senior year?”

Israel's face heated up and he hid himself in his hair bangs. "Yeah… yeah, I remember. I remember how tiring it was to convince Vice Principal Luna that I merely slipped on some banana peel, which was why it looked like I tried to plow her doggy-style against the locker." Israel reminisced. He let out a sigh of frustration "Why did she have to be so difficult?"

“Hey don’t get too worried. Besides she and Principal Celestia are all the way back in Canterlot, at CHS. So we don’t have to worry about running into them.” Inferno proclaimed.

"Yeah, you're right," he nodded.

"AHA!!!" a man's voice boomed over the speakers, startling the Rainbooms. "At last the Rainbooms are here, how marvelous to see you!"

"What the? Who's calling us out?" Sunset asked. Her question is quickly answered when a man steps out of one of the small booths on the side of the path. A familiar wealthy man the Rainbooms haven't seen in a while.

Of course, Inferno was the first to say something, but he wasn’t pleased. “Aw man. Not you again. I knew this trip was too good to be true!” he complained.

"No need to worry, young man, I'm not here to cause you any trouble. I'm personally here to welcome you to my newest popular attraction!" Mr. Rich stated.

"So, you're the one who brought us all here," Twilight implied.

"Oh no, my dear. What truly brought you all here… was your insatiable appetite for a juicy magical mystery to be solved." Mr. Rich said.

The Rainbooms all gave him questionable looks before one of them approached him as they kept on going.

"I'm terribly sorry to say this, darling. But the Rainbooms have all but broken up," Rarity said.

"Oh, but that's the beauty of something broken; it can be fixed! And therein lies its potential. And I need you to fix Unity Island." Filthy said.

"We're gonna need a little more info to know what's going on," Twilight said.

"I believe that someone is casting a spell on the students here." Filthy began to explain. The gang continues further on as he begins to break down the gist of the problem. "Now listen and look around you. Can you tell the difference between the college students arriving…" he gestures to the ones looking excited and stoked, ready to get their party on, "And the college students departing the island?" He gestures to a line of college students, looking like they're done with fooling around, as if they didn't have any fun at all. What's more is that they all look like they've groomed themselves like they had an important meeting awaiting them when they head home.

Inferno even recognized one of the departing students back in his senior year in CHS. “Hey I know that guy. That guy owes me money.” He stated.

"If he owes you money, why not just confront him about it?" Israel asked.

“Cause he chickened out the last time I confronted him.” Inferno replied.

"Alright, then I'll do it," Israel put down his stuff and went to go talk to the guy. "Excuse me, a moment, if you please."

The guy then slowly turns his head towards Israel. "Can I help you with something, sir?" he asked, almost monotone.

"Yeah, you see, a friend of mine says you owe him money and you haven't paid him back because you keep running out on him." Israel pointed out. "So, I'm acting on his behalf."

"Is that so? Well, in that case…" he then reaches into his pocket and pulls out a fat, loaded wallet and just gives Israel a couple hundred bucks. "I don't care how much I owe him, consider this added incentive. Now, if there's nothing else, I'd like to get down to more important business, thank you."

"Uh… sure. Thanks." Israel said before walking away, counting the greens. "Sheesh, you'd think he'd try to fly the coop or something or get mad and pick a fight." And so, he approached his buddy and handed him the money. "Here, not sure how much he owes you, but he gave you a little extra as "incentive" or something."

Inferno was both confused and speechless as he looked at the money in his hand and then at Israel, then at the guy in the line of departing students. “Ok… That’s creepy.” he commented.

"Jade!" another male voice called out. The group all looked and noticed who it was.

"No way. What are the chances?" Twilight shook her head left and right, smirking.

Inferno walks up behind Twilight and whispers into her ear. “Would you like me to punch him?” He asked.

And then she replied: “I’m thinking about it.” Yes, the man in question was her ex-boyfriend, Timber Spruce. She broke up with him a couple of years ago after learning how big a flirt he was towards other girls.

"Hey, Jade, how was the island?" Timber asked. The girl he was talking to had short, dark green hair and vanilla white skin and blue eyes. She wore a sleeveless sky blue shirt with a matching knee high skirt. And like the other departing college students, she didn't look too pleased.

"Is there something you need, sir?" Jade asked.

Timber was confused by her behavior. "What's with the business voice, babe? It's me, Timber. We've practically been going out for months now, don't you recognize me?" he asked, cupping her cheeks, only to get grabbed tightly by the wrist.

"Do not get handsy with me, creep!" Jade hissed through her teeth.

"OW! Wha… Jade, what's wrong with you?!" Timber asked.

"Good day, sir," she said before slapping him in the face. But upon being slapped, he's sent flying 20 feet away before Jade and the others grab their stuff and depart for home. Timber, on the other hand, got so scared, he ran off.

Watching the whole thing, the Rainbooms were all shocked and surprised by what they saw.

“Ok,” Inferno said with a surprised expression on his face. “I only know one strongest girl in the world. And that's her.” he points to Applejack, and after that he points his finger to the Jade girl. “Not her.”

"There's definitely something sussy going on here," Pinkie said, stroking her chin.

"And this is what I'm terrified about. The young people that come off that barge, the people I love the most… they're in danger." Filthy said.

"If that's the case, I'll see what I can do to uncover the truth," Sunset said.

"Sorry, Sunset. But this case is mine to solve," Twilight said confidentally.

"Puh-lease, I can solve this faster," Rainbow replied.

"Go on, gloat all you want, but you'll be crying for me when you're all captured and I have to save you all," Rarity retorted.

"That's as close as you'll get from our broken up group saying "We're on the case”. Israel said.

"Ah, thank you! This is perfect! Perhaps we can celebrate this later by having a little dance later on called a "Unitypalooza." Filthy said.

"Unitypalooza you say?" Israel asked. "Hmm…"

“What in tarnation is that?” Applejack asked.

After the gang had all independently declared solving the case first, they each headed off to the Unity Grand Plaza where they would be staying for free while conducting their search. The girls all had their own rooms, but Inferno and Israel shared a room as bunk buddies.

Of course, they were still down in the dumps about one thing.

“This is a load of crap, man!” Inferno exclaimed as he was unpacking his duffle bag. “After 2 years apart, we all finally reunite on this island paradise… And yet the girls can’t even get along! That’s just crazy!” he commented.

"Normally I'd say "give them some time," but they've had all the time in the world to let go of their stupid grudges. Especially Rainbow Dash." Israel said. "But let's not worry about that. You're back with Sunset, so why not take this time to go and hang out with her? Do whatever you guys do on dates."

Inferno wanted to say more, but Israel did have a point. It's been months since he and Sunset spent time together. And they’re on an island paradise, might as well make the most of it.

“Ok, maybe I will. ” Inferno responded as he walked towards the door of their room. But before he could open the door, the young man turned around to face his pal. “But after that, you and I are gonna come up with a plan to get the girls back together again.” he said before he turned around, opened the door, and exited the room.

"Yeah. I'm right behind you on that." Israel nodded.

After leaving the room, Inferni pulls out his phone and opens up a text message to Sunset.

After doing so, he starts typing a message to his girlfriend, saying: “Hey, Sunset. I know it may seem like a bad time. But since Israel suggested it, do you mind if we spend some quality time together. After all, it's been months since we saw or hung out with each other. Plus we’re on a tropical island paradise, sounds like an opportunity for a date. What do you say?” He texted and then sent the message.

Moments later, Inferno got a reply from Sunset, saying: "Sure. I need a little time to wind down before we get into solving this case. After all, I miss having you around. Meet me in the lobby at 11:45 A.M and we'll go grab some lunch."

Seeing the text, Inferno pumps his fist in victory as he also does a victory dance. Though he was forced to stop when 2 college students were passing by in the hallway; you could say he felt silly. But after they left, he continued the dance for another 30 seconds right before he headed down to the lobby.

Although, he stopped for a minute to check his watch for the time, to make sure he wasn’t early or late. And the time read: 10:45 A.M.

This had his happy and cheerfulness levels go down.

‘What!? I have to wait an hour!? Why do you hate me, God?’ he thought to himself. He then sighs and heads down to the lobby anyway.

Later on, Israel came down to the lobby with nothing but the clothes on his back and a fat, loaded wallet ready to be spent on a fine meal. On his way there, he bumps into Inferno. "You do realize you're an hour early, right?"

“Yeah, I know.” Inferno replied as he headed straight towards the front doors of the hotel they were at. “I’m gonna go on a long walk on the beach. Hopefully, I can waste the time and be back here by 11:45. In the meantime, you take care.” he proclaimed right before he walked out the door.

"I will." Israel nodded before moseying along on his own.

On the beach.

After leaving the hotel, Inferno is taking a nice stroll along the sandy beaches of Unity Island. He takes in the scenery and can’t help but find it soothing and tranquil. Mostly due to the fact that barely any of the college kids that are visiting the island are on the beach.

But he didn’t mind, he enjoyed the peace and quiet. Along his walk, he stopped and looked out at the blue water, looking out of how vast the ocean is. And as he was looking, something caught his attention as he spotted some kind of disturbance in the water. As he inspected the disturbance, he could tell something was swimming towards the shore.

And from the looks of it, it was too big to be a fish. Though it was hard to tell, because it was under the water.

‘Great. Just what I need. A sea monster.’ he sarcastically thought to himself. Inferno prepares himself for whatever savage beast approaches the shore.

But then, as it got closer, it later resurfaced. And right then and there, Inferno's eyes lit up like Christmas morning. From within the ocean, he spots the American dream known as Applejack, all decked out in her skimpy two-piece bikini, walking out and flaunting her flawless body. Her hourglass figure, wide-birthing hips, massive milk jugs poking through the fabric, barely holding them in. She walks onto dry land, swaying her hips and shaking the water out of her hair.

Inferno couldn’t really describe it in his mind… but he thinks he’s seeing a true mermaid before his very eyes. And soon it wasn’t long until Applejack noticed his presence.

"Well, howdy there, sugarcube. Fancy meetin' ya out here of all places." AJ said.

Inferno was both anxious and flustered, and after AJ called to him, he tried to reply.

“Oh yeah! Fancy that! Meeting you here as well as you meeting me here. Stars and Stripes and what not… uh I mean! Sounds fancy!” Inferno mentally slaps himself for screwing that up with his words.

"Heh, sounds to me ya like what ya see. Do Ah’ turn ya on, sugarcube?" she asked, posing by bending over, giving him a good look at her wet cleavage while shaking her booty.

Inferno stared at her with a blank expression as he stupidly says: “I like big bottom… AH! I mean I like your style! Yeah, it suits you quite well! Hehehehe…” He chuckles nervously.

She chuckles and then gives Inferno a pat on the back. "Relax there, partner, Ah'm flattered ya find me attractive. And ya were honest with me ‘bout my body, words an' all," AJ assures the young man.

Inferno rubs the back of his head while chuckling at his own foolishness, and feeling relief that AJ wasn’t gonna bury him 6ft under. He saw her do that once with a guy who thought he could get lucky with her; that guy is now drinking his food through a straw.

“Hehe, well, thanks for the assurance, AJ.” Inferno said; though he had a question on his mind. “What are you doing here on the beach?” he asked.

“Well, sugarcube, mah family suggested Ah’ come here to this island as a break from “overworking myself too much on da farm”. But since this supposed vacation turned into a mystery hunt, Ah’ thought Ah’ could at least enjoy my’self fer a bit before Ah’ go lookin’ fer clues.” Applejack explained.

Inferno nodded his head. “Ok, now onto my second question…” he then points to the skimpy bikini that she was currently wearing. “What made you decide to wear THAT on the beach? I mean if Granny Smith knew you were wearing that, she would have a heart attack. What happend to your old swimsuit?” he asked.

"Ya talkin' 'bout mah surfer outfit?" she asked. Inferno nodded in response. "Ah’ couldn't wear it properly as Ah’ got older. It couldn't even cover mah belly button anymore. There's even a clear tear across the chest area, ah could see mah gals pokin' through the openin'. As fer mah bottom piece, well… They barely lasted a second when Ah’ struggled to put ‘em on. Darn thang tore in an instant and popped right off of me. Ah’ was standin’ in mah’ bathroom with mah posterior exposed.” she explained.

Listening to all of this, Inferno was utterly speechless and blushing red like a tomato. And in his consciousness, a mental picture of AJ’s naked butt seeped into his thoughts. He tried to shake them or block them out, due to the fact that he already has a girlfriend in Sunset, and he shouldn’t have thoughts like that of his other friends. But that picture won’t go away.

Inferno grips onto his head and groans to himself as he paced in circles, muttering to himself. “Why does life hate me?”

"Aww, havin' dirty thoughts about lil' ol' me, are we?" AJ teased, winking at him. Yup, there's no doubt that God likes torturing poor Inferno to no end.

“No!... Ok maybe. But I’m dating Sunset, but ever since the incident on the plane, and I blame Rainbow for that, You are plaguing my mind. And I'm worried this could harm our friendship. as well as my relationship, and your friendship, with Sunset.” Inferno confessed.

“Sugarcube, ya do understand that the girls an’ I have severed ties right?” Applejack replied.

“I don’t give a shit! I mean you girls have been best friends since Canterlot High, and you guys have been through so many challenges together and that never tore you apart before. So what if it's been 2 years since you guys broke up, you can’t continue to hold a grudge against one another! I mean have you guys thought about the times we spent together!?” Inferno asked, before tears ran down his eyes. “D-Did you girls even think of me and Israel? About how we both would feel with you guys up and leaving us in the gutter? Did you?!”

Applejack stared at Inferno with sympathetic eyes as she stepped forwards and hugged the young man. "Oh, sugarcube… Ya know a gal like me could never ferget our two lovable boys. Y'all mean the world to us, even back then. But… Ah'm sorry to say… but with the way we argued 2 years ago… Ah guess we just had enough of' each other's bad selves."

“Well… Sunset didn’t.” Inferno said, surprising AJ. “Whenever we talk on the phone, she would always talk about you guys. And how much she missed you all. You all were the best thing that ever happened to her. I remember her saying that she would give anything to be friends with you again.” He explained. “So if you do care for me and Israel… at least try and break the boundaries you all set up; starting with Sunset. Ok?” he pleaded.

"Hmm… ya know what. Ah'll give it a shot, but only 'cause Ah can never say no to you," AJ replied before giving him a warm hug.

Inferno smiled and hugged her back. “Thank you, AJ.” He said.

And as the two loosen their embrace on one another. Inferno was unaware of his hands moving down from AJ’s waist and landing in an area that was the equivalent of “No Man’s Land”. Then he tried to ball up his hands into fists, only to unknowingly squeeze something soft and firm.

This caused him to get confused as he said to himself: “Why am I touching something soft?”

"Cause ya are," AJ moaned.

Inferno was confused about that comment before he notices AJ’s flustered expression on her face. Then later, he too bore a flustered expression, as he slowly tilted his head down and moved it to the left to glance behind the farm girl. And there, he sees his two hands… Groping Applejack’s butt!

"So… how do ya like mah fresh apples?" she asked.

Inferno has never blushed this hard before. He could even surpass a ripe red tomato. "They're… They're real plump and fresh. Literally… perfection," he hesitated to say, but he just couldn't deny his honesty.

"Heh, thanks, sugarcube. Well, Ah'm gonna go and grab me somethin' to eat. Ah'll see ya around when Ah can, sugarcube," she said before leaving the beach, giving Inferno an added sway to her sexy booty.

Inferno blushed furiously once again as he turns around and heads back to the hotel to wait for Sunset in the lobby; believing that he’s already gotten too much of a walk in.

Over with AJ, she put a hand over her heart, blushing slightly 'Never in mah life has any boy ever grabbed mah ass an' made me feel like a real woman before. But… if Ah'm honest with mahself, Ah think that maybe Ah went too far with Inferno. Ah mean… he is handsome an' he's got a sweet side to him that makes mah heart skip a beat…. But… He an’ Sunset are dating. An’ Ah got no reason to butt into their relationship like some 3rd wheel.' she thought.

And back with Inferno, even he's having trouble keeping it together. With any luck, he might just have a little "private time" with his girlfriend just to get that little fiasco out of his head.

Meanwhile, with Israel Yabuki; the hungry, curious goof was over by a concession stand, picking up a snack. This particular stand was selling piping hot calzones and he had ordered a pepperoni and cheese style calzone with a can of Coca-Cola.

"Here you go and you can keep the change," he said, happily handing the cook $15 bucks for his $11 meal.

"Thank you and have a good day," he replied.

Israel gave a thumbs up before taking his food over to a table. As he was about to sit down… "I thought I'd find you here." said a soft, angelic voice. He froze and turned around, finding his old high school crush, Fluttershy. In her hands, she had a salad with a bottle of water. Israel was both happy and sad to see her.

"Hi, Fluttershy," Israel said.

"Listen… I know you're probably still upset about… you know. But I was hoping that… maybe we could eat lunch and… talk?" she asked.

'I was hoping to dine alone, but… no, I can't. It's better if I make an effort to open up to her again for my own sake,' he thought. "You know what… I actually could use some company." hearing those words out loud, it put Fluttershy at ease. And so, the two sat together, getting ready to eat.

"Izzy… I want you to know something first," she said before taking a bite of her salad.

"I'm all ears," he replied before biting into his calzone.

"You should know… I really do like you. In fact, I'm sure a few of the other girls feel the same way about you, too." Fluttershy said.

"Well, you, I can understand. But to be honest… I'm not so sure about the other girls. It seemed like they're usually more interested in Inferno. Not that I blame them," Israel slightly denied before taking a sip of his soda.

"It's true, but… right now, I'm trying to tell you that… I never meant to hurt you that day. I was actually looking forward to our prom night. I just… I got the last-minute jitters all because of my stupid brother putting thoughts in my head that I didn't need." Fluttershy said. "He made me self-doubt myself with all these different worst case scenarios until finally… I had enough and I rushed to the prom as fast as I could. But… it seemed I arrived too late."

"I… see." Israel's voice suddenly got dark and as if it wasn't scary enough, he squeezed his calzone so hard, he caused the cheese and pepperoni inside to leak out through the cracks. "Where's that asshole right now?" though she couldn't see it, she could certainly feel the aura around him intensifying with rage and resentment.

"H-He's back home, but please don't get any ideas. I already scolded him and even slapped him for what he did. Mom and dad knew about it, too, so they had a long talk with him. So please, try not to let this ruin your vacation. Please… calm down… for me, at least." she said, holding his hand, giving him the star-twinkling eyes.

Seeing that look brought back some of the best memories of his teenage years. And with a sigh, he nods and pulls her into a hug. "Alright. And I suppose I can forgive you for that night. Deep down, I still love you, but… it's my trust that's still broken." he said.

"Then… I'll work hard to earn back your trust," Fluttershy whispered before hugging back.

Later on that day after enjoying some fun, the Rainbooms began their search for clues around the island, trying to find out the truth behind the students' strange behaviors. Twilight decided to start her search over at one of the island's shopping districts.

"Excuse me, sir?" Twilight called out to the directory man.

"Yes, how can I help-- hey. You're one of the Rainbooms, aren't you?" he asked, smiling.

"Uh… yeah, Twilight Sparkle." she said.

"Pleasure to meet you. I'm Keen Eye. I work as the island's director. How can I help?" he asked, hoping he could be of some use.

"Since you asked, I'm looking for some strange clues to find out what's going on with some of the college students. Have you noticed anything out of place with the island?" she asked.

"Hmm… I'm not sure. As far as I can tell, a lot of the college students here look pretty normal to me and hardly anything bad has ever happened." Keen said, trying to think.

"Are you sure? Nothing strange at all?" Twilight asked.

"Umm… well, if I had to put my finger on it… there was one time when one of the students got into an argument around here and punched one of the other students so hard, he made a dent in the concrete wall of one of the shops here." Keen said.

“Strange. The amount of force required to shatter concrete ranges from 2,000 to 4,000 PSI. And the amount of force a human can punch is 120-150 PSI.” Twilight hypothesized. “The odds of a normal person, especially a young adult, to crack a concrete wall with a single punch is… impossible.”

"Uh… right. Wow, you must be studying pretty well in college to be coming up with all that. Hats off to you for being the smartest in the group," Keen said.

"Thanks. It's nice to know someone else appreciates the hard work I do. And listen, if you ever see anything else that's strange, let me know. I'm gonna have another look around." Twilight said, before walking off.

"Will do. And be careful." Keen said.

Back at the hotel, Inferno was sitting down in the lobby, waiting for Sunset to arrive. It was almost time for their date and Inferno was excited to spend the day with her. And also hoped it would get his mind off his conversation with Applejack earlier today.

Minutes later, Sunset came over, all decked out and ready for her date. She had on her sleeveless purple shirt with her cutie mark stitched on the chest area and her old orange skirt which now hugs her thighs and hips nicely, leaving her booty to poke through the fabric. Even went so far as to put on lipstick for her man.

She approaches Inferno from behind and covers his eyes with her hands. "Guess who." she said playfully.

Inferno chuckled as he removed Sunset’s hands from his eyes and turned around to face his girlfriend, only to be at awe and speechless by her look for their date.

“Wow, you look beautiful,” he commented.

"Thanks and you look handsome," she replied before pecking him on the cheek.

After receiving that peck, Inferno then gives Sunset a kiss on the cheek as well, while also sneaking his hands behind her, and giving her butt a good squeeze.

"Mmmm! You love my ass way too much, but I don't mind. So, are you ready to start our date?" she asked, playing with her boyfriend's hair.

“I was born ready.” Inferno replied, wrapping his arm around Sunset’s waist.

Then the two headed out of the hotel and off on their date. The date started off with a nice, relaxing walk. Just the two of them side by side, taking in the scenery, talking amongst each other about… well, everything.

"It feels nice to just kick back and enjoy life, right babe?" she asked.

“Yeah. It feels great to enjoy some rest and relaxation before work. Especially since we’re on an island paradise… that also has a magical mystery going on.” Inferno said. “Plus I enjoy long walks, it keeps the mind clear.”

"I hear ya. I mean, I've always enjoyed the thrill of a magical hunt, but it's always nice to just kick back and relax. And walking with you is always worth it." Sunset nodded, clinging onto her boyfriend's arm.

“And spending time with you is worth everything. Especially after we spent 6 months apart.” Inferno said, before a smug look formed on his face. “Which reminds me of one tiny thing. When's the last time you and I… ‘tussled’ in bed?” He asked.

"Hmm… I'd have to say… 5 days before my phone broke. Why? Are you wanting to get it on with me again after today?" Sunset asked, licking her lips, reminiscing the last time she tasted his big fat meat pole in her mouth and how he nearly destroyed her insides. "I gotta be honest, I've been meaning to have some fun with you for a while now, so what do you say we get down and dirty tonight? My hotel room, room 69."

“Yes, ma’am.” Inferno saluted before he then surprised Sunset by picking her up from her feet and carrying her like a bride as he walked the two straight back to the hotel. She giggles, holding onto Inferno like he was her husband.

As soon as they returned to the hotel, Inferno continued to carry Sunset up to her hotel room. And when they arrived at the room, Inferno opened the doors and the two entered. After the two entered, Inferno finally set Sunset down onto her two feet so he would close the door and lock it. And when he did, Sunset immediately latched her lips on his and the two passionately made out while making their way to the bed.

Sunset then has Inferno sit down on the bed as she stands in front of him.

"Someone's in a hurry to get it on now. Then again, why wait until tonight?" Sunset asked with a saucy grin. She then proceeds to take off her shirt slowly while swaying her body, giving her man a good show. She tosses her shirt to the side, leaving her large bosom exposed and then focuses on removing her skirt while bending over to give him a better view of her boobs and her sunny bun-buns.

Inferno stared at her like she was eye-candy as he was removing his leather jacket. In his eyes, Sunset was like an angel in disguise. And he even noticed that her bust and ass grew a bit the last time he saw her.

“Sunset, you have the body of an angel. Also, I noticed your breasts and butt grew the last time we did this.” Inferno commented.

"Oh, did they now? Also, thanks babe. Now, why don't you show me that sexy bod of yours. Don't keep your girlfriend waiting," she urged seductively.

Inferno gave her a smirk as he got up from the bed and began removing his clothing. Sunset watched with eagerness and ecstasy as she saw his athletic toned body. But the one thing she was waiting for the most as Inferno pulled down his pants and allowed his manhood to sprung out of its confinement.

"Ooh, looks like your little friend grew an inch or two while I was gone. Mama likes it." Sunset said, getting all predatorial on her lover. Eventually, she tackled her lover and pulled him onto the bed with her, giggling seductively. "You're all mine, now." And after saying those words, she captured his lips, moaning in the kiss.

As they were passionately making out, Inferno’s hands explored Sunset’s body, groping her big breasts and squeezing her plump ass. She moans deeply and grinds her hips on the base of Inferno's hardening meat pole.

Her tongue dances with his hungrily, showing how much she missed having him around. Inferno also shows her how much he misses her, by moving his hand that was on her ass down towards in-between her thighs and then started fingering her pussy. Her body twitched in pleasure and she moaned in his ear.

"Yes. Work those magic fingers of yours, babe. And once you're done, I want you to take me!" she urged, clinging onto him.

“Well, as you wish, Sunset.” Inferno replied. The horny young man then positioned himself behind Sunset while she hung onto the head of the bed for support. Inferno kneaded her squishy bun-buns one more time before slamming his fat cock inside her wet pussy. Sunset let out a loud moan, smiling with glee. And Inferno pulled out and thrusted back in again… and again… and again. He quickly finds his rhythm and plows her womanly area.

Sunset has become a sluttified cock-loving mess, tongue lolled out and eyes shot up. "Yeah! Ah fuck yeah! Right there! I missed this feeling so much! Fuck me harder! Do it! Ravage my pussy, you fucking beast!"

Inferno did as Sunset requested as he increased the power in his thrusts and plowed her harder than before. His meat piston reached into her deepest parts, even pushing past her womb entrance, ramming it inside her chambers repeatedly. Sunset's inner walls clamped around Inferno's beefy behemoth tightly. She even got wetter every time he slammed home.

Then Inferno decided that he wanted to see Sunset’s face while he was pounding her. So he quickly pulled out and turned Sunset onto her back, spreaded out her legs and thrusted his dick back into her and continued pounding her once again. Sunset looked up at her handsome lover, moaning like the slut she is while admiring how sweet and loving he is towards her. She opens her arms up to him for a hug.

Inferno lays down on top of her and hugs her while he keeps fucking her deeply and quicker. Soon it wasn’t long until Inferno could feel his limit reaching fast and the pressure in his cock building up.

“S-Sunset… I’m gonna…” Inferno tried to say it as he was pounding her even faster.

"Do it! S-Shoot it… inside me…! Fill me up like old times!" Sunset moaned. Inferno obeyed his girlfriend and went for the gusto. His cock constantly drilling at her pussy, making wet, plapping noises, it all felt way too good.

Finally, he couldn't contain his excitement and nutted right in Sunset's womb, overflowing it with his hot seed. She pulled him into a deep kiss to silence herself as she came with him. Gushes of her cum sprayed his crotch and the bed sheets. Inferno's seed erupted in large quantities, eventually bloating her stomach and making her look 7 months pregnant.

After unloading and overcomed by exhaustion, Inferno fell onto the bed, laying next to Sunset, as she was rubbing her bloated belly.

“That… was… extraordinary.” Inferno gasped.

"You… were… amazing… as always," Sunset added, stroking his cheek.

“Thanks, babe. Man, I filled you up good.” Inferno commented as he inspected Sunset’s bloated stomach, while he also cuddled up next to her.

Sunset chuckled lightly as she snuggled close to her boyfriend. “Well, why don’t we get some rest, babe.” She suggested as she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

“Yeah… Sounds like a great idea.” Inferno replied as he too fell asleep.

In another part of the island, there was an outdoor dance party kicking off with a disco ball and some pop music playing in the background. In this section, there was also a mini bar. At this moment, someone was calling the mini bar and was picked up by a bulky guy in a black t-shirt and blue jeans.

"Hello, Pops' Flavor Shack." the big guy said.

While he's on the phone, Pinkie Pie comes skipping along, eating some tasty crepes and having a tall milkshake.

"Is there a Ms. Pie here? I got a call for a Ms. Pie," the big guy called out and some other girl sat up from her chair.

"Is it for Lemon Pie?" the girl asked.

"No… Pinkie, or something." the guy said.

"Ooh! That'd be me!" Pinkie shouted, zooming over to the bar. She picked up the phone and stuffed her treats in her hair. "Hidey-ho, this is Pinkie Pie."

"Got a bag of, uh… chocolate rocks here for ya," a mysterious man's voice said over the phone.

"Ch-ch-Chocolate rocks?" Pinkie asked, taste buds tingling.

"Just walk into the dark, shadowy part of the forest where no one can see you," he instructed.

"Oooooh… okie dokie lokie," Pinkie said happily before hanging up. She then zoomed off to parts of the island where there were only tall trees and forests.

While Pinkie's off on her little "candy hunt," Rarity was visiting another section of the island that seemed to be nearly empty. All she found was a fancy, looking cottage and it looked like someone was home since the lights were on.

The fashionista queen approached the front door and knocked. "Excuse me," Rarity said.

"Go away!" an older woman's voice shouted from inside.

"But madam, I'm trying to conduct a search. If I could just have a few minutes of your time…" Rarity paused.

"I said go away! No one can help me… no one," the woman inside said with sorrow.

"Trust me, I can be of great help to you, darling. Just please… at least grant me this one chance to prove myself," Rarity persisted.

There was a long pause in the air before Rarity heard the sound of multiple locks unlocking and soon, the door opened up and her eyes landed on someone she least expected. From her dark pink skin to her purple hair and fancy clothing, only one woman would look like this…

"Mrs. Rich?!" Rarity asked.

"You… I thought your voice sounded familiar. You're one of those persistent teenagers who prevented my husband from buying off Camp Everfree!" she pointed. "Come to rub salt in my wound, have you?"

"What? No! I told you before, I came here to help!" Rarity corrected.

"Help me? Help ME? Young lady… I… I'm not even sure if you can help me." she turns away, gripping onto one of her arms.

"Mrs. Rich… perhaps maybe we can have some tea, then we can discuss what's happening here on this island," Rarity said.

"...I'll never understand you girls," Mrs. Rich sighed in defeat. And with that, Spoiled let Rarity into her cottage and a few minutes later, they're sitting in the living room, having some tea to calm their nerves.

"Okay, so here's the thing. I'm on a search for some clues to find out the strange behavior of the students here." Rarity said. "Do you happen to know what's going on?"

Mrs. Rich sighed. "I've noticed it for a while now. At first, it was only minor. Like when the island first opened up, a few of the first batch of college students left acting more… mature than usual. But then, overtime, more and more students who left here all acted much more… I hate to say this, but… more snobbish than even I have. I went to look into the matter at one point and found out how and why they were changing."

"Do tell." Rarity said.

"...I… I can't. You'll just wind up like one of them." Mrs. Rich denied.

"No, I won't! Please, tell me. Perhaps I can fix the problem!" Rarity said.

"You might be my enemy, but even I can't allow you to risk your young life like this." Mrs. Rich denied once again.

"But your husband sent us here for a reason. He wants us to look into the matter, he told us so himself, he's afraid for the students' lives," Rarity said.

Spoiled then got all shocked at hearing this news. "...Very well. If you're so insistent on it, then I can't stop you. But I did try to warn you. Do not, I repeat…" Spoiled then points over at the large tower near the center of the island. "Do not go into the Unity Island Tower. At least… don't go in there alone."

Rarity nodded in understanding. "Thank you for your time. And worry not, I shall bring some backup with me." She then got up from her seat and was about to leave.

"One more thing," Spoiled said before approaching Rarity. "Whatever you do… do not trust my husband… he hasn't been acting like himself lately. The Filthy Rich I knew… would never ask for help from a group of teenagers."

"Technically, I'm old enough to be a college student… but I'll heed your warning. You be safe now, okay darling?" Rarity said.

"That's my line." Spoiled said before slowly closing the door. Rarity then left the cottage and headed back to where she could find a few of her friends.

Back with Pinkie Pie, she was skipping along the forest, using her nose to find the secret stash of chocolate rocks. "Coco-rocks! Oh, where are you?" she called out sing-songy. Pinkie kept skipping along and then found a sign on one of the trees that said "Choco-rocks this way" with an arrow pointing to the right. "Mmm!!! Yummy!"

She bolts faster than Road Runner from Looney Tunes and stops right in front of her prize. Another sign that pointed down and below the sign, a bag which would contain chocolate rocks.

"Mmmm, thank you for the treats," Pinkie said to the heavens above before trying to untie the bag from the tree. Little did she know, a sinister being was sneaking up behind her, its claws open wide, about to snatch Pinkie, but she was too busy looking into the bag, bending the tree it was on. 2

Next thing you know, she gets it off and the tree decks the creature behind her twice in the face, knocking it back a little.

"Aww, it's empty! Did someone take my candy before me?" Pinkie asked, her head still hidden inside the bag… until the monster took it off. Pinkie's vision returns and she sees the monster in front of her. It had long, thin claws for hands, its back had a huge hunch, its face had a long, pointy snout, glowing red eyes and its lower body was serpent shaped.

Pinkie gasped and screamed before putting the bag over her face. The creature pulled it back up, showing her face again. "Hey!" Pinkie exclaimed, putting the bag over her face again. It's quickly yanked off, her eyes are closed. She tried to feel if the bag was still on, but it was gone. Suddenly, the creature let out a demonic screech. "SCATTER!!!" she screamed.

The sugar-loving party-planner then retreated and climbed up one of the trees, but the higher she climbed, the more bent it was getting. That's when an idea popped in her head. She turned around quickly and saw the creature climbing the tree to get her and just when he was close enough to grab her…

"Bye-bye," she giggled before getting off. This resulted in the tree launching the monster high into the air and out of sight. Pinkie used this chance to make her escape and run back to the hotel at lightning fast speeds. "HELP, SOMEBODY!!!"

Later on, back at the hotel, Israel was just coming back after his talk with Fluttershy and a nice, relaxing lunch. "Well, I'd better go see what kind of dirt I can dig up," he said to himself.

"HEEEEELP!!!" Pinkie shrieked in the distance, getting everyone's attention. Israel looked back and in comes Pinkie Pie as she runs past everyone and leaps in the air, landing on top of Israel with her boobs mashed against his face, tackling him to the ground.

She quickly pushed herself up, getting her big cleavage out of Israel's face.

"Pinkie Pie, what's with you?!" Israel asked.

"Monsters, Izzy! MONSTERS!!!" Pinkie shouted,

"Monsters?!" Israel asked before jolting to his feet, taking a fighting stance. "Stay back, Pinkie," he said. Pinkie did not hesitate to hide behind the young man.

But the only thing that came out into the open was some guy having different tattoos on parts of his body from his arms, chest and all over his back. Seeing no monsters show up, Israel got confused, then let his guard down.

"Pinkie, are you sure you didn't just freak out from a few tattoos and not a monster?" he asked.

Pinkie didn’t unwaver from her claim. “B-But! I saw a monster! In the dark forest. It tried to grab me while I was searching for chocolate rocks.” Pinkie stated.

"Who hides chocolate rocks in the middle of a dark fo--" Israel paused before realizing… "Pinkie… what gave you the idea of finding chocolate rocks in the dark forest?"

"There was a phone call for me at a mini bar, they gave me a tip on where to find it." Pinkie pointed out.

"...Pinkie… I think someone set a trap on you. The chocolate rock thing was just a trick to get you alone so someone can pick us off one by one. You're lucky you made it out alive," Israel said with a serious and worried expression.

“WHAT! You’re telling me the chocolate rocks were a lie!?” Pinkie asked, which Israel nodded in reply. Oh, Pinkie is mad now. “When I get my hands on whoever did this… THEY’RE GONNA BE SORRY!!!” She screamed in rage.’

"Easy there, Pink wonder of the world. First off, you don't even know where to look. The perp could've contacted you from anywhere on this island. If we're gonna find out who did this, we need to figure out where to go searching first." Israel said.

Pinkie soon calmed down and looked at Israel with her usual cheery expression. “Okie Dokie Lokie.” She said, before her expression turned to a more loving gaze. “Say, Izzy, that was quite brave of you to try and protect me.” She said, stepping closer to the young man, while having her arms behind her and bending herself which made her chest presentable.

"Oh, uh… no problem. I'm just… glad that you're safe." he replied, blushing a bit.

Then what he didn’t expect was Pinkie leaning in and giving him a big kiss on the cheek. Which had his face instantly turned red like a tomato. Pinkie giggled at his reaction.

“My hero.” Pinkie said.

"Heh…" he chuckled nervously.

"Oh, there you are, darling," Rarity called out, snapping him out of it.

"Rarity? What's up?" Israel asked.

"I need you to come with me. I may have found a lead!" Rarity said.

"Where, show us!" Israel urged.

Eventually, Rarity led Pinkie AND Israel to the outside entrance of the Unity Island Tower.

"...Well that's not conspicuous," he said sarcastically.

Clues and Cuties Galore

At Unity Island Tower.

"Well… that's not conspicuous." Israel said, eyeballing the tower. "What gave you the impression that this tower was a lead?"

"I spoke with Mrs. Rich. Apparently something sinister has been going on in this tower and she's noticed it for quite some time, but didn't act. The poor dear must've been frightened. But I'm certain that whatever goes on in here, we'll know once we've looked around." Rarity said.

“Ooh, spooky tower investigation!” Pinkie said with a cheerful tone.

"Tch, Pinkie, you're just too cute. But anyways… the more I look at it, the more it makes sense. Especially since this place is closed off to the public. We'd better tread carefully. Come on, ladies, let's get going."

The three of them quickly climb up the stairs and slip inside the tower, thanks to the front door being slightly open. Despite the place being closed off, the interior was kept very clean. Not a speck of dirt anywhere. But anyways, the interior lobby had a front desk at the center and two hallways on each side, each one had a row of elevators and stairs.

“Huh? For a run-down dump… this place is kinda fancy.” Pinkie commented.

"Guess even the closed off attractions need to maintain appearances. If it were as dirty as any abandoned building, the only thing that'd be missing is mindless zombies," Israel said.

"Please, let's not turn this into one of those cheesy zombie flicks, darling," Rarity said.

“Oh don’t be a party pooper, Rarity.” Pinkie responded.

"Okay, so where do we start looking from here on?" Israel asked before the front door behind them is bursted wide open and loudly.

"BOO!!!" shouted someone.

"AAAAAAH!!!" Pinkie screamed, leaping in the air before landing in Israel's arms bridal style.

"Ah!!! Son of a…" Israel turned around and saw that it was Rainbow. "Rainbow Dash! What the hell are you trying to do, give us a heart attack?!"

"Sorry, but I couldn't help myself! I hear you guys talking about zombies and other scary stuff, so why not humor you with a little scare?" Rainbow asked.

"2 whole years an' yet ya haven't matured one lil' bit.” A voice with a southern accent responded. The four then turned around towards the source of the voice; which was revealed to be Applejack.

“What are you doing here?” Rainbow asked.

"Ah was just walkin' around, mindin' mah own business' until Ah’ saw yer sorry ass sneakin' around like a snake in the grass. What're you guys doin' in here? Don'tcha know this place is closed off?" AJ asked.

“I mean that’s what brought us here right?” Another voice responded. Then out of the shadows, Sunset and Inferno approached the group. “I mean this place is off limits to all tourists staying on the island. Which means no one will suspect anyone of being here.” Sunset stated.

“And where have you two been?” Pinkie asked with curiosity and teasement. Which caused the couple to get flustered.

"U-Uh…that's private Pinkie," Sunset said, blushing.

"Y'all were makin' love like bunnies durin' mating season," Applejack guessed, all smug.

“How did you know!?... Uh I mean, no!” Inferno tried to take back what he said, but it was too late.

"Why am I not surprised," Israel said, looking up.

"Someone's getting all touchy. What's wrong, you haven't gotten laid?" Rainbow chuckled, unintentionally striking at Israel's heart.

"THAT'S NONE OF YOUR GODDAMN BUSINESS!!!" Israel shouted in rage, staring fiery daggers at Rainbow Dash and panting heavily.

Everyone was spooked by Israel’s explosive reaction. As for one of them, Pinkie looks at Israel with a sadden expression that he was insulted for something that wasn’t his fault, and she wanted to help cheer him up. And in her head, she had the right idea to do it.

As everyone stood quiet, Rainbow received a smack in the back of her head by Applejack.

"What kind o' friend pokes fun at another friend's love life like that?! Ya know, this is one o' the reasons why we split up in the first place! Ya ain't got no self control!" Applejack scolded.

"Is… Is everyone okay?" a soft voice called out from the entrance. The group turned and saw Fluttershy coming inside. "I heard what sounded like Izzy shouting. Did something happen?"

"No, Rainbow Dash opened her big, fat mouth and poked fun at Israel being a virgin," Sunset pointed at the loud-mouthed athlete, who looked remorseful about what she said.

Hearing this, Fluttershy soon brought out… "The Stare." She approached Rainbow and got right in her face. "Rainbow Dash… I'm VERY disappointed in you. What Israel does in his spare time is not for you to poke fun at! Or have you forgotten about his insecurities due to his disability? What kind of a friend makes fun of another like that?! You tell me… WELL?!"

"I'm sorry, okay! I admit it, I was way out of line! Just please, turn off the stare, you're really freaking me out!" Rainbow said, feeling mentally smaller. "Israel, dude, I'm sorry, okay? I shouldn't have said that."

Israel still had that hard, cold glare of his poking through the gaps in his bangs. "Whatever." he turned away, not saying another word.

"Listen, darling… I know you're upset and you have every right to. And if you'd like, you can sit this one out while we investigate further, more preferably I," Rarity said.

"No! *ahem* Uh… no, we still have to comb this place inside and out," Israel said. "Plus, it's too dangerous to investigate alone."

"No need to worry about me, darling. Remember, I've studied Tae Kwon Do. So if anyone messes with me, I'll introduce them to a world of discipline," Rarity said, not knowing one of the furniture was being lifted in the air on its own before dropping behind Rarity with a loud thud. "AAAH!!!"

"What the?!" Israel blinked in surprise.

“Ghost!” Pinkie screamed as she jumped off the ground and landed in Israel’s arms… again.

Then, from behind the front desk, Twilight pokes her head out, giggling in delight.

"Twilight?" Fluttershy asked.

"What are you doing here?" Sunset chuckled.

"This place was closed off due to "maintenance failure," but most likely to hatch some sort of insidious plot. And I wanted to scare the patooty out of Rarity," Twilight said with glee.

"Alright, since we're all here, why don't we split up and find some clues? Inferno, you and I--" Sunset was about to say.

"Typical," Twilight rolls her eyes.

"What's wrong, Twilight?" Sunset asked.

"Oh, nothing. I was always picked last for the team," Twilight pointed out, leaning against the wall, unamused.

"Sorry about that. Rarity, since you're capable of handling things yourself now, why don't you investigate around the 1st floor and see if there's a basement. Twilight and I will head up to the top floor. Pinkie, you'll go with Israel. I feel like he needs some good company. Applejack, take Rainbow to the mid section of the tower and be sure to keep her in check. Inferno, are you okay with searching the rest of the place with Fluttershy?" Sunset asked.

Inferno gave her a thumbs up. “No problem.” he said before he turned towards Fluttershy. “What do you say, Fluttershy?” he asked.

"Okay then," Fluttershy nodded.

The gang all eventually split up, heading off to their main spots of where to start looking. Pinkie and Israel started off by heading to the 2nd floor to see what was there.

Pinkie skipped through the hallways, humming happily to herself; popping in-and-out of every room on the floor, in a quick flash.

'Typical Pinkie, always knowing how to bring a smile to everyone. And looking so cute while doing it, too.' Israel thought, slowly feeling his own smile returning.

After checking a few rooms Pinkie returns back to Israel, walking next to him.

“Mmmm, lots of empty rooms. Nothing interesting… or fun.” Pinkie said.

"There's one room we haven't checked." Israel said, opening up the last door in the middle. Or more accurately… a double door. The two go inside a dark room and notice a row of tables lined up similar to a cafeteria. "Hmm… this must be the cafeteria exclusive for most of the employees on this island."

“Ooh! I wonder what was left behind in the fridge.” Pinkie said as she rushed towards the kitchen at lightning speed.

The moment she reached the kitchen, she immediately checked the fridge, and what she found were some leftovers of triple decker chocolate cake. As well as chocolate brownie cake! Pinkie’s eyes sparkled and her grin widened at this delicious find.

"Find anything in there, my little sugar pixie?" he asked.

“There’s triple decker chocolate cake and chocolate brownie cake! SO MUCH CHOCOLATEY GOODNESS!!!” Pinkie cheered happily.

"Chocolate? Chocolate?! CHOCOLATE!!!" Israel shouted with a crazed smile… until he let out a raspberry through his tongue. "Just kidding, I love chocolate."

Pinkie then happily served him a big slice of brownie cake while she served herself a big slice of the triple decker.

Meanwhile over with Rarity, she's looking around the 1st floor and turns the corner down the hallway, making a left turn. While walking, she stumbles upon one particular steel door that's blocked off poorly with thick, wooden planks in the form of an X, not even properly attached.

"Pff, why bother placing these here?" she asked before approaching the door. She takes one of the wooden beams and lifts it up off the ground, but the thing was way more heavy than she thought possible. She stumbles back a little before rebalancing herself and tossing it aside.

"Ow! I hate these splinters," Rarity said, clearing her hands of her splinters. "And to think, I almost broke a nail moving that thing."

While Rarity’s going on a vanity rant, Sunset and Twilight are avoiding climbing the steps to the top floor by using Twilight's pony wings to fly to the top.

"Twilight, listen… about before." Sunset said. "I'm sorry if I made you feel unappreciated by picking you last, I never meant anything like that."

"I know, Sunset. All you ever think about is your boyfriend," Twilight implied. "In fact, I don't think there's a single girl who can't stop thinking about him."

"What? No! First off, there were times when I couldn't stop thinking about you and the girls and all the fun times we used to share. Plus, Inferno's not the only boy in the group, there's still his buddy, Israel." Sunset pointed out.

"Yeah, but I've hardly heard anyone other than Fluttershy talk about him." Twilight said. "You know how insecure he can be. Take what happened earlier when Rainbow mocked him just for not… practicing intercourse. But you… you've practically been getting wild with Inferno in the past and recently just now."

"I know, but to be fair, we lost touch because my stupid phone broke. But I digress, does all of this really bother you that much?" she asked.

"You tell me. Truth be told… I actually share his pain," Twilight replied before the two arrived on the top floor.

“What do you mean?” Sunset asked out of curiosity, as well as concern. Before realization came to her. “You never found someone to share your heart with, do you?” she asked in sympathy. “Not since after you and Timber’s fallout.”

"You guessed it." Twilight said before opening the door.

“I’m sorry, Twilight,” Sunset muttered silently. She quickly followed Twilight inside the room and noticed something… odd about it. On one side, there were controls that were probably linked to the whole tower and on the other side, a bunch of TV monitors lined up in a row on the wall and even some school desks.

“Looks like some kind of school," Sunset said, looking confused.

"In a tall tower like this? Fishy," Twilight said

"Yes and there's nothing running except for the lights. Maybe there's an on-switch in the control room that turns on the entire tower," Sunset said.

"I can look into that," Twilight said, heading over to the controls. Thankfully, there was an instruction manual on the panel that Twilight could use. With it, she read and learned which button… or switch, could power up the whole tower. She grabs the switch and pushes it up.

And upon doing so, the power was restored to the whole attraction, everything that was once dead was now turning back on.

But now the question was… is this a good thing?

Meanwhile, with Rainbow Dash and Applejack, the apple farmer had a very disappointed glare on her face while she was looking around the midsection of the tower. Rainbow was keeping quiet since she knows AJ is still upset with her.

'Smooth move, Rainbow. Why'd you have to go and say that shit about your friend? Man, I feel 20% less cooler now. I think the girls are right, maybe I've been acting like too much of an egotistical, reckless bitch. Some friend I turned out to be,' Rainbow thought, looking down.

While she was beating herself up, Applejack had her eyes glued to the signs above each of the doors in the hallway. "That's odd," she said. Each sign above the doors specified that they were different training rooms. One was an Accountant training room, another was a Real Estate training room, one was a guide to becoming a Philanthropist, basically, it's like some kind of place to train young adults for big, money-making businesses.

"Call me crazy, but last time I checked, most amusement parks don't have job-training facilities for big wig businesses," Rainbow commented in the back. It looked like she was paying close attention as well.

"Dash… Ah believe yer right. Somethin' ain't right here. Why would Mr. Rich, the owner of an offshore amusement park resort, wanna add somethin' that's usually found in cities? Somethin' doesn't add up here." AJ said.

“Well, might as well check and see what’s hiding behind these doors?” Rainbow said as she used her super-speed and just sped into one of the rooms at random.

Applejack sighs and shakes her head at her rainbow-haired companion's act of rushing into things. She then walks over to the door of the room that Rainbow barged into, looking up to see the sign above the door saying “Real Estate”. With that, Applejack opens the door and walks into the room.

The room itself was pretty big. In the center of the room, there's a long, rectangular table with a projector at the end. At the back of the room, it had a screen that rolls up and down. On the side of the room on the left, there was a counter with a coffee brewer on top and a fridge in the back. Kind of like a miniature staff lounge. It even had one of those filtered water dispensers you find in regular office buildings.

"You know, it kinda feels like we walked into a meeting," Rainbow said, looking around.

"It seems like it. A trainin' room this fancy in an amusement park meant fer fun? Makes about as much sense as a snake with no slither." Applejack said.

"I wonder how the others are doing," Rainbow said.

With Inferno and Fluttershy, they decided to look a little higher up in the tower and stopped a little close to the top floor. Opening the door, there's a semi-long hallway leading to only one room with a double door.

“Well this isn’t ominous at all.” Inferno said sarcastically.

"I hope it's not a trap." Fluttershy said, worried.

Inferno took the lead so as to act as a shield for Fluttershy and slowly approached the double door with his guard up. As they stopped in front of the doors, Inferno reached for the door knob and tried to open it; however the doors wouldn’t open. He tried pushing on the door while furiously turning the knob. But the doors wouldn’t budge.

“Okay then, let's try my ‘key’ instead.” He said as he, as well as Fluttershy, stepped back away from the doors. With enough room for him, Inferno raised his leg up and gave a hard kick against the doors, which finally forced them to open. “Eureka!” he said in victory.

"Oh… my," Fluttershy said in surprise. "Well, that's one way to open a door. I sure do hope we don't get in trouble for this."

“Oh, don’t worry, Shy. From the looks of it, Filthy Rich pretty much gave up on this attraction. Plus it's pretty much a dump. So he wouldn’t mind if we break something in this place.” Inferno assured her.

"I hope you're right." she said, uncertain. So, the two enter the room and turn on the lights. Inside, they find the whole room is one big office. Red, velvet carpet, big desk, photo frame on the side, even a name tag on the front of the desk with the words "Filthy Rich" on it. It even has a laptop.

"Umm… I think you just kicked down Mr. Rich's office door," Fluttershy said nervously.

“Really?...” Inferno asked with a surprised expression, before it immediately turned into one of glee. “Awesome.” he said while smirking.

"Seriously? You're not at all worried?" Fluttershy asked, deadpanned.

"What? Like I said, this place is a dump and abandoned. And also, I can consider this small payback for what the guy nearly tried to do to Camp Everfree.” Inferno replied.

"Fine, whatever," Fluttershy sighs. "But let's keep the rest of the damage to a minimum. Remember, he asked us to help solve the case."

“Right… Sorry,” Inferno apologizes.

"It's fine. Let's just see what we can find in here," Fluttershy said. She goes behind Mr. Rich's desk and checks the drawers in his desk first while also checking the top. "Inferno, something seems off to me."

"What? What's wrong, Shy?" The young man asked.

"You said this tower's been abandoned for quite some time, yet there's not a speck of dust anywhere in this room. It looks as though it's recently been dusted and vacuumed." Fluttershy pointed out.

Inferno was curious about that statement as he looked around the room to see for himself. And upon his inspection, Fluttershy was right. This room was kept in mint condition, not a single crack in the walls or dust on a shelf.

“Hey… You’re right.” Inferno commented, with his suspicion growing by the second. “When we were walking up to this floor, everything was trashed; the hallways, the other rooms, all of it. But this room… Why would a run-down attraction building have a single room kept in primed condition?” he asked.

"Maybe because Filthy Rich is still using this part of the tower to do most of his work. I mean, I would imagine he would need the peace and quiet to take care of his paperwork, but… having the rest of the tower out of commission, that's what puzzles me." she said while checking the drawers for any clues.

“I don’t get it. Why would he stick around in this place when there’s not a single salvageable thing here?” Inferno asked while Fluttershy continued to search the drawers in the desk.

Soon the animal lover’s attention was drawn to the laptop that was on the desk. With her curiosity buzzing, she shifts away from the drawers and faces the laptop.

"Maybe we can find something on his computer," Fluttershy said, opening up the laptop. She presses the power button and it boots up. Inferno walks around the desk to stand beside her as the two watch the computer turned on and opens up to a screen with a picture of Filthy Rich as a wallpaper, and a letter box below him, asking for a password.

“And of course it's password-protected.” Inferno said in a displeased tone.

"Hmm… does it have a hint?" Fluttershy asked, clicking on the ? button on the screen. There, some bold yellow letters pop up under the letter box with the words "My beloved progeny."

"Progeny? Now, where have I heard that before?" she asked herself before taking out her cell phone to look it up. She types in the word and immediately gets a result. "Oh! Now, I see."

“What? What is it?” Inferno asked with curiosity.

"I found out what the hint means for the word "progeny." It's another term for the word "offspring," meaning "child." And if I hunch is right…" Fluttershy stopped and typed in the password… instantly bypassing it. "I knew it. Only Mr. Rich would use his own daughter's name as a password."

Inferno chuckled and cheered heartedly while hugging Fluttershy for her small, but big success.

“Wow, Fluttershy! I guess you can be cute, AND smart, at the same time.” Inferno complimented her, which made Fluttershy blush at his praise. “Oh, by the way, your bosom is popping out of your shirt,” he said.

Fluttershy's eyes shrunk and covered herself. "Eep!" she yelped cutely. Inferno chuckles at her response.

“I’m kidding. I’m kidding. Though with your size, it's possible it could happen.” He stated, jokingly.

"Inferno, you… you… big… dumb… m-m-meanie!" Fluttershy scolded with a pouty face, puffing up her cheeks, blushing.

Inferno reeled back after Fluttershy’s cute but angry response. “Whoa, ok! I’m sorry, just tryin’ to lighten the mood.” he replied before silenting saying. “This room just gives me the creeps.”

Back with Rarity, she had backed away from the steel door after removing the wooden beams. She prepares herself, getting in an offensive stance before charging at the door and kicking it with all her might. Surprisingly, it bursts open and slams against the wall, almost loosening it off the hinges.

"Ah, lovely. I was right to take those lessons. Now I'm less of a fragile diamond. Let's see anyone take advantage of me now," Rarity said with confidence. She then looks inside and finds an ominous staircase leading downstairs somewhere. She proceeds with caution to find out what's down below.

She soon comes to an open doorway, leading into a hidden room that's lit up by one chandelier up in the middle of the ceiling. In the center, there's a pedestal and atop the pedestal… is a green jewel big enough to fit in the palm of her hand. A jade, if you will. On the surface, it looks like any other ordinary jade jewel shaped like an upside down pyramid.

But as she approached it, something felt strange… like her whole body was trembling. She shook it off and went to try and touch it. A mere inch away and the jade rapidly opens up, letting out a brief, inhuman howl. Rarity jumps, startled by this.

"Cursed thing," Rarity said, "Scaring a lady like that." She steals her nerves and inspects the jewel some more. The interior of the jade seemed to have some sort of ancient carvings and hieroglyphics she couldn't make a lick of sense of. "Hmm… okay, so maybe I can't solve the entire case by myself. And… I do admit, I always did admire Twilight's deductive skills. If anyone can crack this thing, she can."

And with that, she reaches to grab the mysterious jade as it closes up. She picks it up from its pedestal and suddenly, the whole room starts to rumble. Rarity looks around in a panic and notices the door to the exit about to close shut.

"NO!" Rarity then conjures the power of her geode and shoots out her diamonds at the door to prevent it from being blocked off. She books it for the stairs just in time to deactivate her diamonds and the entrance to the hidden room is blocked off. She runs upstairs, hiding the jade in her purse. "All this fuss for a jewel. No doubt, something sinister is lurking here!"

Meanwhile, back with Pinkie Pie and Israel, the two have finished both cakes, Pinkie eating the majority of it due to her big appetite and unquenchable sweet tooth.

"Compliments to the baker," Israel said, wiping the crumbs from his face.

"You said it," Pinkie said before letting out a burp. Israel laughed.

"I'll have whatever she's having," Israel joked with his own burp in the end. "Alright. Let's get going, shall we?" But before they could leave…

"BUUUUUURRP!!!" Pinkie burped.

Israel turned around squinting his eyes, smirking. "Are you challenging me?" He said as he approached her, while taking a gunslinger stance.

Pinkie put on an innocent face while looking at him dead in the eye. “Oh, I don’t know… Am I~?” She responded before letting out a burp.

"Oh, it is on," Israel said, all smug before inhaling and building up before letting out a loud and long burp. "Top that."

"With pleasure," Pinkie replied. She inhaled and let out two medium length burps, then a tiny one after that. "Beat that and maybe I'll reward you."

"Fine by me, I have full control over mine," he replied confidentally. This time, he took in 3 deep breaths, building up 3 times before 3 major loud burps were let out, even Pinkie couldn't help but save her hand from how stinky that was.

"Okay, okay, you win!" Pinkie laughed. "Well played, Izzy. Just for that, I'll reward you with something when we get back to the hotel." She said while stepping closer and closer to him, till she’s up in his face. “But since I hate keeping secrets, unless it's a surprise party… Here’s a hint of what your reward will be~” She spoke with a seductive tone, which had Israel confused by this behavior.

But before he could think about it, Pinkie pressed her lips onto his, kissing him with such passion and desire; surprising the young man greatly for a brief moment. Even Israel quickly got into it and kissed her back and stroked her poofy hair and groped her big booty. But just as it quickly began, it ended as they separated.

"Let's face it… I like my girls way too cute," Israel said, shaking off his lust.

"Aww, you think I'm cute?" Pinkie asked, batting her eyes at him.

"Way too cute," he nodded.

Pinkie giggled in response. “Aw, that’s so sweet of you, Izzy.” She said before her bubbly expression turned to a lustful gaze. “I can’t wait till we get back to the hotel~” She said as she turned herself around and shook her huge butt in front of him.

'I'd love to have some fries with that shake,' he thought, staring at her big booty.

Pinkie giggled once again at him staring at her tushie, which she didn’t mind.

“Well, let's make our way out of this tower.” Pinkie said in her cheery tone of voice as she walked ahead of Israel, humming and singing to herself as she does; acting like herself once again.

Israel followed her close behind and closed the door to the cafeteria.

Meanwhile, up in the control room with Sunset and Twilight, they were in the middle of going through some videos playing on the TVs. Right now, one of the videos was playing and the girls were paying close attention to the contents.

"The future is now and the world is waiting for you!" a man said on the TV. Suddenly a middle-aged man fades in front of the TV screens. "I am known as Phil Athropist and I shall be conducting a lecture on how to become a huge success in the business industry."

Sunset and Twilight looked at each other with skeptical looks while this guy went on about the high-ranking businesses that bring in the big checks, like pros and cons, investments, stuff that you would normally find on YouTube or even at an orientation; not in an amusement park.

The more they watched this, Twilight began to hypothesize. Sunset, on the other hand, was starting to get bored of what she’s seeing.

"It seems to be some kind of brain-washing facility of some kind. Wherever there's a brain-washing incident involved, there's always a power-hungry leader behind it all. The Papa Smurf figure." Twilight said.

“Really? All I got from that is… blah blah blah business… blah blah blah investments.” Sunset commented.

"Think about it, Sunset. This whole place could be some kind of front for turning those college students into young entrepreneurs or something. And who do we know has many successful businesses in the city?" Twilight asked.

Sunset thought about it for a moment before she realized it in an instant. “Filthy Rich!” She answered. “This whole amusement park was just one big corporate trap all along.”

"But the question still remains: If Filthy's changing the students, why would he have invited us all in the first place?" Twilight asked, trying to come up with an answer.

“I don’t know. But what I do know is that it must be for a specific reason.” Sunset claimed. “While I know it's difficult as of now, I believe we have to stick together as long as we're on this island; until we can figure out what is going on here.” She stated.

While they weren't looking, someone sneaks into the control room area and pushes a big red button on the panel, triggering the Unity Tower's emergency alarm. The individual flees the scene before he could get caught. Twilight and Sunset are on high alert and have only one thing left to do.

"Let's get outta here," Sunset said. Twilight nodded and followed her out of the room. Pretty soon everyone stopped what they were doing as soon as they heard the alarms blaring. While they were heading to the 1st floor, some of the security team entered the building to do a security sweep of the entire area.

The gang all meet up about halfway and report their findings.

"Darlings, you won't believe what I've stumbled upon!" Rarity said.

"Same here. We think this is a brain-washing facility and the park might be some kind of front to forcefully turn young college students into business people." Twilight said.

"Well, maybe this relic gem has something to do with the whole brain-washing incident," Rarity said, showing them the jade.

“Well you guys are doing well. All me and Fluttershy found was Filthy Rich’s well furnished office room. Apparently the dude still has operations going on in this place.” Inferno informed them.

Fluttershy nodded in agreement with Inferno’s statement as she showed them all the laptop that they found in Filthy Rich’s office. “We also took this laptop from the room. Perhaps we can find more information on it.” she proclaimed.

Inferno then whispered to Israel. “One more thing, I also learned that Fluttershy's a tech wizard.” He whispered.

"That so?" Israel asked.

Fluttershy gave a little quiet giggle, knowing what Inferno said, but chose to stay quiet.

Soon the group halted in place when they heard the sounds of footsteps approaching their direction. They all believed it to be the security staff of this attraction.

“Well how ‘bout we discuss more once we git out of this place!” Applejack stated.

"How? They're bound to find us and there's no emergency exit!" Rainbow pointed out.

Rarity then looked around the place and noticed a big display with multiple mannequins in different kinds of clothing and… "I have just the thing, darlings." she said confidently. With the limited time they have on them, she pulls everyone onto the display and dresses them all up to have them pose like the actual mannequins.

Israel and Inferno were both dressed in warrior's clothing, almost like knights. Israel's main weapon being a shield and Inferno's being a sword. Rainbow Dash and Rarity are also dressed as warriors, Rarity being an archer and Rainbow having a spear for a weapon. Sunset was dressed up as a queen, Applejack as a king, both sitting on their thrones. Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy are both dressed as princesses, standing by Sunset's side and Twilight is dressed as a sorceress.

Just in time for the guards to show up. "What's the situation?" the big guard asked.

"Sir, they found the Daimao Jade," one of the regular guards said. The big guard looked down at the lanky guard and picked him up in frustration.

"For your SAKE, they better not have gone far!" he growls before throwing him onto the ground with a hard thud. "We have no choice, but to bring out the big guns."

“What guns? Bigger than his?” Inferno silently jokes. The girls, as well as Israel, tried their best not to chuckle or giggle.

"Hate to say it, but you might be right. Let's go." another guard nodded before the team left to report the predicament.

As soon as they were gone, the girls and the two boys were finally allowed to break character and sigh in relief after that close-call.

Now that the coast was clear, the gang quickly bolted out of the tower, ditching their medieval costumes and making a mad dash for the hotel.

At the Unity Island Hotel.

The Rainbooms all managed to make it back safe and with what they uncovered, they're about to begin their research… that is, until a familiar face walks in on them.

"Ah, the Rainbooms! You all seem rather on the up and up. I hope there's good news," Filthy Rich said, coming up to them.

Inferno turns to look at Fluttershy right before Filthy draws closer to them. “Hide the laptop.” he whispered to her.

Fluttershy does so by heading off to her bedroom to stash it somewhere private.

"Actually, it's a funny thing, Mr. Rich. We've actually found some pretty interesting clues while we were on the island." Pinkie said.

"Now, here's the gist of it…" Twilight said before explaining what she and Sunset found in the tower, along with what the others found in their search, but Inferno left out the part about breaking into his office and taking his laptop.

"And onto the suspects. We've actually pin-pointed two likely suspects. One of them being your own wife, Spoiled Rich. She still holds a grudge on us for ruining her chances of having a spa resort where Camp Everfree is located, despite her cooperation to help us solve this case," Rarity explained.

"And then there's you." Sunset pointed out.

Filthy Rich stares at them in shock from hearing that accusation. “M-Me?” he asked.

"Relax, this case hasn't been solved yet. Until we've connected the dots to this whole thing, you should be good for now." Israel said.

"In the meantime, I'm gonna grab some grub. All this detective business is making me hungry." Rainbow said.

"Y'all said it. Ah'm gonna grab me some grub as well," AJ said, following Dash.

"I'm gonna get to work at researching this jade that Rarity found," Twilight said.

"I'll go and research this jade on the net," Rarity added.

"Need a hand with researching this thing, Twi?" Israel offered.

"Sure, sounds nice." Twilight replied with a bright smile.

"I'll go ahead and have a little snack by the lounging area," Pinkie said before skipping along.

"I'm gonna help Rarity out with her research on the net. Good luck, everyone," Sunset said.

"And I'll be conducting some research of my own upstairs," Inferno said. 'Hopefully, Fluttershy's found something,' he thought.

The gang eventually all split up, either taking a break or continuing on with the investigation. Twilight and Israel sat down by one of the counters, inspecting the jade Rarity brought.

Twilight pulled out a small device from her pocket, which looked like an EMF scanner or detector of some kind. But this device is of her own design. She created it to detect Equestrian magic; way back before the Rainbooms broke up. She activates the device and holds it up next to the jade and inspects it to see if there were any spikes of energy emitted in the crystal.

And to her surprise, despite the jade looking dormant, there was a massive spike of Equestrian magic detected in the gemstone. The amount of magic in this gemstone was more potent than all the other times where the girls faced many magic-powered villains.

"I may not know what's going on, but something tells me this thing's packing some serious firepower to be giving off those strong readings." Israel said. Suddenly, he noticed something else about it. He then begins to open up the jade some more, revealing some ancient dialect and what looks like scribbled drawings of strange serpent creatures. "Yikes," he whispers.

"Let me see, I gotta get a closer look at those," Twilight said, getting out a magnifying glass and inspecting the inscriptions on the gem.

Meanwhile, up in Fluttershy's room, Inferno joins the animal lover and locks the door so no one would barge in on them. Fluttershy had Filthy's laptop out and was about to go through his files.

Inferno was also kind enough to bring snacks for them to enjoy; such as a small bowl of cheddar flavored goldfish crackers.

"Oh, thank you, Inferno," she said, before grabbing a couple and happily eating them.

“No problem, Fluttershy.” Inferno replied while also snacking on some goldfish crackers. “Oh and uh, sorry for the… uh… joke I made of your… chest… back at the tower. I was just spooked by the room we were once in.” he apologized while also feeling foolish and flustered for even making that joke.

"It's okay, just promise me you won't scare me like that again." Fluttershy said.

“I promise.” Inferno responded.

"Good. Now, let's go over these files, shall we?" Fluttershy said, going through Mr. Rich's personal computer. She checks each file that Filthy has, only to show nothing but boring paperwork, memos and even family photos of him, his wife and their daughter, nothing out of the ordinary.

Even Inferno was getting so bored that he was close to falling asleep. And he almost did as his head grew heavier and soon he was leaning more towards Fluttershy. Before long, he had felt his whole body go limp and crashed against something soft. He thought it must've been a pillow, so he just nuzzled into it without care. It felt soft, squishy, smooth, fluffy-- wait… squishy?

'Wait a minute,' he thought before opening up his eyes. He realized only now that he had nearly passed out on Fluttershy. Specifically, her massive hooters and she was blushing deeply.

"Inferno… next time, please use a real pillow," Fluttershy said, embarrassed.

Inferno immediatly sat back up. "S-S-Sorry, I wasn't paying attention," he stuttered, embarrassed himself.

Fluttershy then let out a sigh, "It's fine, let's just keep going." she urged. "Hmm? What's this?" she asked. Fluttershy noticed that one of the files was marked with the words "Classified: Do Not Open."

“Classified, huh?.... Let's open it.” Inferno stated.

The two open up the file and it reveals… a picture of some kind of ancient tablet with writing that neither of them could describe.

“Uh… That does not look like any ancient language I have ever seen before?” Inferno commented. “It could be Egyptian? Or Greek? Or possibly Aztec? But… these inscriptions don’t match the language of those cultures."

"Could it be possible that it might be Equestrian writing?" Fluttershy asked.

Inferno shrugged his shoulders. “I don’t know? Perhaps? But I don’t speak Equestrian.” Inferno exclaimed.

"There's only one thing we can do," Fluttershy then pulls out her phone and takes a picture of the tablet before closing up the laptop. "I'll show this to Sunset. Maybe she's brought the journal so she can talk to Princess Twilight about it."

“Well, you girls are the experts. Me and Israel are still trying to catch up on you guys’ level of experience with this Equestrian magic gig.” he said with honesty.

"Maybe, but you two make handsome and very skilled detectives. Especially Izzy," Fluttershy sighed, thinking about the goof.

Inferno quirked his eye while also smirking at Fluttershy. “Oh, you admitted Israel is handsome? Mhmmmm?” He asked, in a teasing tone of voice.

Lets just say that Inferno had been shipping Fluttershy and Israel since the first day he met his future best friend. And he’s been waiting a long time for one of them to make a move, in fact the wait drove him insane. But since that heart-rending night at CHS senior prom, it made things far more difficult.

"I'd be lying if I said I didn't. I know he can be silly sometimes. But, that's just part of his charm. And… not a lot of girls see him that way. I could see it in his eyes when I see you two hanging out sometimes." Fluttershy said.

“See what?” Inferno asked in confusion, with slight curiosity.

"His self-doubt. How he hides his insecurities. Thinking he's not good enough… or cool enough to be with any girl in general." Fluttershy said with sympathy. "Well, no more. After he and I squared things up earlier at lunch, I'm going to show him how much he means to me."

“That's what I like to hear," Inferno said approvingly. Though he had a doubting thought in his mind. ‘Why was Israel feeling insecurity? The dude is the coolest guy I know and ever will. Was it because of my popularity back when we were in CHS? I kept telling the guy that I didn’t like the attention!? Hopefully, Fluttershy could erase those thoughts from his head.’ he thought to himself before he spoke to Fluttershy again.

“Though I just have one question for you, Flutters…” He said before he raised his hand and closed the laptop without looking away from the timid girl. Fluttershy was a bit annoyed that he interrupted their ongoing investigation. “... Why are you sitting here talking to me? Get out of here! Go hang out with Israel.” He stated.

"Oh, okay. But first…" Fluttershy then gave Inferno… the "Stare." "Never tell me to get out of my own bedroom." she stated sternly. "Okay?" she asked innocently with a cute giggle.

Inferno had a fearful expression on his face and nodded his head frantically. “Y-yeah… D-Duly noted.” He responded.

Fluttershy smile cutely and left her hotel room, heading downstairs; while Inferno was shivering in fear. Meanwhile, back with Twilight and Israel…

"You know, I think this describes a very ancient race of creatures. The handwriting looks like it could be Equestrian writing so, I can make some of it out. What do you think?" Twilight asked.

"You could be right. Maybe they're instructions to some sort of… secret ritual," Israel implied.

"Look at you with the brains," Twilight chuckled.

"Well, you kinda rubbed off on me during and after high schoo--" Israel then got bombarded by a pair of soft, squishy mounds behind his head and two arms wrapping around him.

"Yoo-hoo!!! Guess who!" Pinkie's voice called out from behind.

"Pinkie, what's up with you?" Israel chuckled.

“Ohhhhhh, nothing~” She answered in a playful and cheerful manner. Right before she backs up and brings her lips up towards his ear as she whispers to him. “Except for the fact that I still haven't forgotten the’ little surprise’ that I promised you~” She silently informed him.

"Oh, yeah. That. Uh… let's see, uh Twilight… I'm really, really sorry to do this, but Pinkie needs me for something and I really wanna help you with the jade, but…" Israel paused.

"Don't sweat it. If it's Pinkie Pie, don't keep her waiting. Besides, I think I got this from here. You two take care," Twilight said in understanding.

"YIPPEE!!! Thanks Twilight!" Pinkie said before yanking on Israel's arm to go upstairs. Just then, they bump into Fluttershy.

"Oh, there you are, Izzy!" Fluttershy said. "Pinkie? Where are you two going?"

"Oh, nowhere, just up to my room to give him a… super secret surprise," Pinkie winked.

"WHAT?!" Fluttershy asked in shock before stealing her nerves and putting on her cutest pouty face, getting between them. "I demand that you include me. I want to have a word with you!"

'Whoa… This is a new side of Flutters I haven't seen before,' Israel thought.

Pinkie looks at her timid friend, though she’s not so timid anymore, with a teasing and confident smirk. “Oh, are you jelly, Fluttershy? I never thought you would be capable of feeling jelly.” She said before thinking to herself while looking at Fluttershy, then Israel, then back to Fluttershy, before saying: “Although... I’m not against having a third addition to the party~” She said with a sultry tone.

"Huh? S-So, you're… okay with me joining just like that?" Fluttershy asked.

“Indeedy… But first~ I believe you have something to say… or perhaps give to Izzy?” Pinkie said before she nudged the young man forward to meet the timid girl. “I’ll wait for you guys in my room.” She added with a wide smile before she sped off at inhuman speeds.

"I wonder if all that sugar makes her defy the laws of physics," Israel commented.

"Pinkie Pie being Pinkie Pie." Fluttershy shrugged. "But, umm… Izzy?"

"Yeah?" he asked.

"...I know I made a big mistake years ago and I'm really sorry I broke your heart. I never should've listened to my brother. Because I know that deep down, you'd never let anything bad happen to me. I know that now. And even though our prom night went bust… the least I can do… is give you this," she said.

Then, she grabbed hold of his cheeks and pulled him in for a passionate kiss. Israel's eyes shrunk in surprise while his whole world lit up like New Year's Eve. Like everything seemed right to him and in return, he kisses Fluttershy back, hugging his beloved crush, stroking her smooth, silky hair. She hugs him back and doesn't let go. They hold it in for a good few seconds before separating and staring into each other's eyes, smiling lovingly.

"I love you… Israel. So very much."

"I love you too, Fluttershy."

"So… does this mean you… forgive me?" she asked.

"That… and we're officially a couple," Israel says while nuzzling her nose to nose.

"Heheh… yay," she giggles cutely. Her cute gestures cause her new boyfriend to smother her with more love, smooching away at her while carrying her upstairs bridal style.

After sharing their private moment, the two enter Pinkie's hotel room where she's sitting on the edge of her bed, bouncing lightly.

“Well… How’d it go?” She asked the two.

"It… was… magical," Fluttershy admitted, leaning into Israel, nuzzling him.

"Goodie! Then that means we can get down to the… surprise," Pinkie said in a sultry tone. "And that means…" she pauses before appearing behind Fluttershy and forcing open her shirt, exposing her massive hooters. Fluttershy yelped, blushing heavily while Israel got the biggest nosebleed of the century.

"Pinkie!!! Why'd you do that?!" Fluttershy asked, covering her mammaries. But Pinkie doesn’t give her the satisfaction and the party girl gropes and fondles the animal-lover’s huge, squishy breasts.

“Oh come on, Fluttershy~ We both know your huge milkies are a sight to behold. I mean Izzy looks like he’s enjoying the view~” She proclaimed.

Israel was just standing there, blushing deeply at the sight of Pinkie groping his girlfriend. Just then, he shakes off his embarrassment. "Okay, that's enough! Who said you can grope my girlfriend's ta-tas first? And after we barely just had our first kiss? Just wait until later when I punish you BIG time!" he proclaimed with a more dominating tone.

Pinkie can’t help but feel tingly after hearing that kind of tone from Israel.

“Okay, Izzy.” She responds as she lets go of Fluttershy’s melons and backs away.

"Now then… let's restart this, shall we?" Israel asked, holding his girlfriend from behind tenderly and then slowly, gently gropes her massive hooters. He gets a good feel of the soft, squishy land, fondling and moving them in small circles at first.

Fluttershy blushes redder than before as she is overcomed by the sensitivity of her massive breasts and the pleasurable feeling of Israel’s touch on them. His manly hands treating her globes of love with tender love and care, it gets her feeling so hot for him, squirming at his gentle touch and begins to get a little wet down there.

The pressure of her impending orgasm was building up quite a bit, as Fluttershy was barely keeping her innocent and timid nature intact. And soon she could also feel some pressure in her breasts. As noticed by Pinkie, and unnoticed by Israel due to his position, small leaks of (surprisingly) breast milk were seeping from Fluttershy’s nipples. Although, the young man would later find out about this once he felt his hands getting wet by the creamy liquid.

"Hmm? What the?" He lets go of Fluttershy's bosom and checks his hands and gives them a quick sniff. "Is that…" he pauses before taking a taste. "It's milk! Fluttershy, you're lactating?"

Fluttershy couldn’t answer as she felt completely embarrassed of her breasts lactating at a time like this. But she also felt disappointed that Israel stopped caressing her chest bumps.

"Does it… bother you?" she asks, worried.

"What? No, of course not! In fact… your milk is very sweet," he said before getting in front and fondling her hooters some more. "In fact…" he then responds by sucking on one of her nipples, making her yelp in surprise.

“I-Israel…Aaaaaaah~” Fluttershy couldn’t say much as a passionate moan exited her mouth as she felt her entire body tingle and almost numb of how much arousal she was feeling right now.

Of course, Pinkie watched the whole thing happening… and she doesn’t want to be left out.

“Heeeeey… I want in on this too~” she proclaimed as she approached the two, latches onto Fluttershy's other nipple and starts sucking on it too.

'Oh my! Izzy and Pinkie are… are drinking… my breast milk! It feels… so… good!' Fluttershy thought as she kept moaning.

The once timid girl was left at the mercy of her boyfriend and one of her friends as they both drinked from her massive boobs like they were newborns. This goes on for a while until Pinkie pulls away, licking her lips while Israel pulls away for air.

"Mmm, it tastes like creamy vanilla ice cream," Pinkie said.

"That's some sweet milk, Flutters," Israel said between breaths, wiping his lower lip.

"Ooh, now do me! Do me!" Pinkie said excitedly, pushing her naked chest pies into Israel's face.

"Okay, okay. Impatient much?" Israel muffled through her boobs, making her moan and giggle.

"Easy, Izzy. They're, uh… kinda sensitive and it kinda tickles." she blurted out.

Just then, Pinkie's big secret made Israel grin a cynical grin. 'Is that so?' he thought before latching onto one of her bosom nipples. She yelped as he began forcefully sucking on her breast while fondling the other and making predatorial growls.

"Ahh! Oh golly! That's so… so good! Are my boobies appealing to you?" Pinkie moaned, stiffening up a bit. Then the party girl felt a sharp pain in her tushy which made her yelp. She looks over her shoulder and she sees her once timid friend, Fluttershy… with a devilish grin on her face.

"Don't think you're out of the water just yet, Pinkie," Fluttershy said, getting down on her knees. She scooches next to her boyfriend and while he was busy with her breasts, Fluttershy got to work on slurping Pinkie's nethers and groping her huge, plump booty. “Just because I’m sharing Izzy with you… doesn’t mean I won’t make you our little pet.” she commented with a dominating tone as she continued to lick at Pinkie’s lower lips.

"Damn, Flutters, I didn't know you could be so feisty for a precious little butterfly," Israel said before booping his girlfriend on the nose.

She giggles cutely. "Oh, I haven't even shown everything yet." she replied confidentally. She proceeds to thrust her tongue inside Pinkie's wonder cave. The sugar fanatic moaned loudly and gasped in surprise. And with Israel resuming his little milk-drinking fun, Pinkie was quickly getting weak in the knees.

“G-Guys… Ah~! Y-You’re being… M-mean… Ah~!” Pinkie moaned, with hearts forming in her eyes.

Fluttershy looks up at her bubbly friend with a quirk in her eye and a smirk. “But Pinkie, I thought you were one to be the life of the party~?” She asked in a teasing manner.

"Now, now, Flutters. We're here to have fun. One of Pinkie's specialties, too. Right, my wittle cutie-wutie cotton candy queen?" Israel asked, gesturing to Pinkie.

Pinkie couldn’t say much but nod in response as another moan escapes her mouth when Fluttershy returns back to tasting her pussy and Israel gives his sugary sweetheart some sugar, thrusting his tongue into her mouth while groping her sweet mammaries.

You can say Pinkie was in complete bliss, her mind was going blank from how much arousal and pleasure she was feeling. All these sensations hitting her all at once, she could feel her climax getting closer by the second.

Fluttershy gave Pinkie a good spanking and Israel gave both of Pinkie's big girls some loving fondles while assaulting her mouth with passionate, wet smooches.

After a while, Pinkie couldn't handle it anymore and came hard in Fluttershy's mouth, letting out a cute moan. Fluttershy swallowed her entire orgasm and pulled away, licking her lips.

“Mmmmm~ It tastes like bubblegum.” Fluttershy commented.

"Her breast milk tastes like strawberry milk." Israel added. "She's just full of sweet flavor. I can feel my sugar rush kicking in right now."

"Oh really?" Fluttershy asked, turning to her goofball, teasingly. "Why not use some of that sugar rush to… go wild?" she asked, shoving her ass in front of her lover.

"I was hoping you'd say that," Israel said, his body getting antsy and fidgety.

"I… think I might've given him too much of my milk," Pinkie said nervously.

“Oh, don’t be so nervous, Pinkie Pie…. Afterall, after Izzy is done with me… You’re next.” Fluttershy informs her with a devious smile. “So why don’t you wait over there in the sofa chair and… enjoy the show~” she added.

"Well… okie dokie lokie," Pinkie shrugged.

Fluttershy then removed her skirt and panties, now being fully naked. "So, shall we begin?"

"Yes, we shall," Israel said, lifting her bridal style. He takes her to the bed and lays her down before getting on top of her. He strips himself fully naked, showing off his large, meaty rod. Hearts formed on Fluttershy’s eyes the moment she laid them upon it.

“Oh… My~” Was all she could say.

"All for you, my cutie butterfly." Those were his last words before inserting his phat meat monster inside her light little love cavern, leaving a nice bulge through her stomach. Fluttershy gasped and moaned at the sheer massive size of his girth.

“Ohhhhhhhh… F-Fuck~” Fluttershy moaned, and surprisingly cursed for the first time.

"Flutters!" Israel gasped. "Such a dirty mouth you have. I should wash it right now. Come here!" he growled with a grin before kissing her deeply. He thrusted his cock repeatedly in her warm, tight love tunnel while kissing her soft, luscious lips. Wet slapping noises echoed within the room and her legs twitched in pleasure.

Pinkie watched in awe and arousal as she was fingering herself, while watching two of her best friends making love like animals. She had never felt so turned on before in her life from watching two of her friends destroying each other's virginities.

"You like that, Flutters? Does that feel good?" he whispered, thrusting hard.

"Yes! Ah, fuck! Your cock is so good! I want more! Please!" she begged.

Israel chuckled and sped up his thrusting, hitting more of her sweet spots every so often and getting deeper and closer towards her womb.

Fluttershy felt her body grow numb and her mind blank, but her adrenaline was pumping.

Pinkie, on the other hand, was close to a second orgasm just by watching the two go at it.

After a few minutes of non-stop pounding, both Fluttershy and Israel could feel their limit reaching fast.

"I'm gonna cum deep, Flutters. I'll fill you up real nicely," he whispered, growling.

"Ah yeah! Do it! I'm cumming! I'm cumming!!!" Fluttershy moaned while panting.

And with one final, yet powerful, thrust, Israel unleashed a big load into Fluttershy’s wet canels. She screamed at the top of her lungs and sprayed her lover's huge ballsack and the bed sheets with her sweet love honey.

Right at the same time, Pinkie came down with her 2nd orgasm and splattered her liquid love all over the floor.

Fluttershy gasped and screamed with ecstasy as she could feel her boyfriend’s load fill her up and stretch her insides. Soon she could see her belly bloat and swell up as Israel continued to pour more into her. Fluttershy pulled her lover in and buried his face into her bosom. He rubbed his face into her huge hooters and motorboated them to ride out his orgasm.

After finishing, he pulled out his rod and upon doing so, it allowed his load inside Fluttershy to pump out of her womb, draining her insides and her bloated belly. Causing an even bigger mess.

“Wooowee, that was fun. Well, I guess the fun is over,” Pinkie said, as she got up from the sofa and before she could get the chance to walk off.

“Ohhhh, Pinkie~” Fluttershy called to her with a weak tone, due to her exhaustion from her time with Israel.

"Hehehehe… you're next, my sugar dumpling," Israel said, giggling almost psychotic, turning to Pinkie with a crazed look and a scary grin on his face.

He then leaped off the bed and ran towards Pinkie Pie, grabbing her by the hips and twirling her in the air, making her yelp and giggle a bit.

“Oh what the heck. I wanna have a turn with that hot rod of yours~” Pinkie proclaimed with a sultry tone of voice.

"Anything for you, Pink Sweets," he replied before carrying her to her bed. He set her down gently and removed whatever clothes she had left on her until she was fully naked.

The pink party gal turned around and presented her large pink strawberry booty, while also giving herself a smack to make it jiggle.

"Mmmph!!! I'm a sucker for the cutesy girls," he says before guiding his shaft into her wet pussy. He starts in slowly, then about halfway, he thrusts the rest balls deep. Pinkie lets out a loud shriek in ecstasy.

"Fuck! How'd you take this all in, Fluttershy?!" Pinkie gasped.

“That's… Only for me… to know,” Fluttershy replied, still exhausted. “And… for you… to find out~” she added.

Pinkie gulped in anxiety right before she let out gasps and moans as Israel started to pound her pink booty with intense force. He, every so often, spanked her phat globes of sweetness, making them jiggle and ripple. Such a sight got him so riled up, he thrusted extremely fast. His sugar rush was at an all-time high.

'Ah, fuck! It's so big! I feel like it's tearing my insides apart! None of my ‘special toys’ could match this size.’ Pinkie thought to herself. She then let out a loud yelp when she felt his hands grab her squishy pies and fondled them intensely while plowing her sweets cave.

Pinkie quickly felt her body going numb and limp, unable to stop Israel's lust-filled sugar rush. His cock kept destroying her pussy and plowing her every second, without giving her time to rest. Pinkie’s huge booty jiggled and rippled every time Israel gave a hard thrust.

"How do you like your just desserts, Pinkie?" he asked in her ear.

"I'm… I'm in heaven, baby! Pump your dick deeper in my pussy! Sluttify me more, you handsome beast!" Pinkie moaned, gripping the pillow tightly.

The fun goes on for another 5 minutes before Israel can feel his cock growing and ready to burst, along with Pinkie's pussy getting tighter.

Israel didn't intend on warning her like he did with Fluttershy, so he kept on ramming his throbbing dick balls deep inside his cutesy party girl. Pinkie's tight little pussy squeezed his member while still lathering him up with her sweet liquid love.

At last, the grand finale came and he hilts his massive rod real deep into her womb and erupts like an active volcano, grunting viciously. His penis throbbing and spasming, shooting huge globs of his sticky man milk inside her sweet sanctuary. Pinkie screamed into the pillow and climaxed hard, spraying her love honey all over his crotch, the bed sheets and even the bed frame, too.

After what felt like an eternity, he pulled his shaft out and watched Pinkie slump down on the bed on her side. He can clearly see her belly had expanded from the sheer load he had given her without warning.

"You cutesy girls sure know how to have fun," Israel said, his breath returning.

Fluttershy then joins the two on the bed as she lays on the other side next to Israel, while also giving the young man a kiss on the cheek.

"Aww, does my precious Flutters wanna snuggle a little more?" Israel asked, turning towards his girlfriend and stroking her cheek.

Fluttershy giggles in response before booping her new boyfriend’s nose. “You know me so well, Izzy.” She said, right before she raised her massive HH-cup breasts to Israel’s face. “By the way, my boobies still have enough milk in them~ Wanna drink up the rest, babe~?” She asked.

"Sure thing, my precious little angel." he replied before latching onto one of her hooter nipples and began drinking her milk. She gives off cute, soft moans while stroking his hair. Little did she know, he snuck his finger up towards her face and booped her on the nose. She blinked and giggled adorably.

"Yay," She whispered.

But… while they may be relaxing right now, the fun can only last for so long as the dangers outside slowly creep towards the hotel where everyone is gathered for the night. The plan is set in motion and it's only a matter of time before the creatures crash the party.

Fun and Hell at the Motel

With the cute ones occupying their goofy lover, we turn our attention to Inferno Blaze, who is currently walking down the stairs and into the hotel lobby. He had just come from Fluttershy’s room after he had convinced her to talk to Israel. He was still shakened up from ‘the Stare’ that he had received from Flutttershy. It now served as a big reminder for him to choose his words very carefully.

So he decided to head down to the lounge area of the hotel lobby for a quick bite or drink; all just to get his mind off the shivering fear that he still can’t shake off.

Over in the lobby, AJ was sitting on one of the couches with a few boxes of pizza. Half of them were empty, yet she's still munching away normally.

As soon as he stepped into the lounging area, Inferno spots Applejack snacking away, which made him smile and shook his head in disbelief of how that girl could eat so much. Though it's not unexpected; she had always been overworking herself on her family’s farm.

But despite all that pizza she's guzzled down, her body remains as slim and fit as a fiddle. Well… maybe her fresh apples back there may have grown a little, but hey, who doesn't love a girl with a lotta junk in the trunk?

In his mind; and a secret he keeps to himself, Inferno kinda had a thing for girls with phat butts.

After looking at Applejack eating like a hungry, hungry hippo, the young man decided to not stand and stare like a creep for much longer and so he makes his presence known to the farmgirl.

“Sometimes I wonder if your stomach is a miniature black hole, or something.” He spoke towards AJ.

The farmgirl hears Inferno’s voice as she turns her head towards his direction and pauses her munching… at least for now.

"What can Ah say? Mah metabolism is extremely high, but not that high. If ya want, ya can have a seat an' grab a slice or two." AJ said, patting on a spot on the couch for him to sit. Inferno happily sat down next to her and grabbed a couple of slices. "So, what've you been up to? Anythin' interesting?"

Inferno chuckled. “Oh nothing much… Well, except that I convinced Fluttershy to speak with Israel while we were supposed to be investigating that laptop we found.” He stated.

"Ah, so ya finally convinced heart-o'-gold Fluttershy to finally show him some love. Yer a true blue friend there, Inferno," Applejack said.

Inferno shrugged in response. “Well… I try,” he said as he took another bite out of his pizza slice. And when he did, his eyes moved downward and towards Applejack’s lower body. His eyes widened of how thick her thighs were, of how her phat posterior squished against the sofa, as if it was a mini bean bag chair, and how they pressed and stretched AJ’s jean shorts or ‘daisy dukes’. Soon the young man would later find himself choking on his food due to the fact that he was so distracted by AJ’s bottom portions, that he forgot to chew his food and a clunk of it blocked his windpipe.

"Oop, hang on, Sugarcube," AJ said. She leaned over and patted his back hard to get his windpipe unclogged. Inferno kept coughing and choking, trying to get it out. But then, AJ grabbed him by the waist and picked him up, using the heimlich maneuver. Inferno was definitely liking this maneuver as he could feel her huge and ripe chest apples squishing against his back. This time, Inferno coughed out the clunk of pizza and was able to breathe again.

He gasped for air and panted heavily.

“I… I’m… alive.” he gasped for air. AJ then lets him go as Inferno turns around and hugs her tightly, which had the farm girl blushing red like a Red Delicious apple. “Thanks, Applejack! You saved my life.” he said with gratitude.

"Don't sweat it, partner. What're friends for?" she shrugs.

Inferno lets go of AJ, only to look her dead in the eye, with his face close to hers, which had Applejack even more flustered.

“Are you kidding?! I almost died… to my favorite food, no less! From this day forward, I am in your debt, AJ.” Inferno claimed while also giving a salute.

"Come now, Inferno. Y'all don't have to make a big deal outta this. Ah told ya, it ain't no big deal. Friends help each other out, simple as that." AJ assured.

“Oh ok.” Inferno replied. “But still, if you need anything, you can always give me a holler.” He proclaimed.

"Fair enough. How 'bout ya just relax an' cure your case o' the munchies." AJ suggested before eating half a slice of pizza.

“Speakin’ of munchies, if you keep eating too much, your shorts aren’t gonna be able to contain your lower portions for long.” Inferno commented, which he mentally screams and slaps himself for letting that slip. Then he tried to correct his mistake. “N-NOT THAT IT'S A BAD THING! In fact, it's a great thing! Uh, I mean… It's good to have a big bottom… NO! THAT’S NOT WHAT I MEANT! I-I-I…” Yeah… He’s just digging his grave even more.

"Oh… so mah apples might get too big fer my daisy dukes, huh? Well then, why don't we discuss this matter more… upstairs," AJ said with a devious grin. She grabbed Inferno by the shirt collar and dragged him with her to the upstairs floor where she brought him to her hotel room and threw him inside. She walks in, slams the door shut and locks it.

"So, ya think mah ass is huge, huh?" AJ asked, keeping her head low enough to cover her eyes with her hat, still grinning. "Y'all must got some serious balls talkin' 'bout a gal like that straight to her face." she said, approaching him slowly.

Inferno crawled backwards, backing away from AJ until he was backed against the wall of the room. Trapped and cornered, Inferno tries to reason with the farm girl.

“Listen, AJ… I-I-I didn’t mean anything rude with those words. In fact, I-I didn’t mean for those words to escape my thoughts or anything… Please, it was a mistake!” Inferno begged.

"Oh, Ah’ think it's clear as day, Sugarcube. Yer words…" AJ paused as she was just inches away from Inferno and next thing you know… she grabs him by the cheeks and pulls him in for a deep, passionate kiss, thrusting her tongue into his mouth. She presses her body against his, mashing her boobs into his chest.

The kiss lasts for 15 seconds before she pulls away. "...they made this gal feel extra special. Do you have any idea how long Ah've waited fer anyone to say somethin' good about mah behind? It ain't easy fer a gal like me to get praised so casually. So, thanks fer that." she explained before hugging him.

Inferno didn’t say a word or sound. He was utterly speechless from the surprise kiss and he was blushing red like a red christmas light. All he could do was hug AJ back.

And soon the young man attempted to speak. “...Y-Y-You’re… W-Welcome…” He stuttered at his first attempt.

"Hey, Ah know Ah said it was no big deal, but Ah know how y'all can repay me fer savin' yer skin back there." she whispered. She then backed up and undid her shirt buttons, popping out her huge GG-cup breasts. "How 'bout ya come here an' give yer gal some sugar~."

Inferno was paralyzed as he stared into AJ’s fresh pair of big apples with all their glory. He stood where he was for a moment, which almost had AJ confused about if she had broken him. But before she could ask him, Inferno lunges at her, pressing his lips onto hers, slipping his tongue into her mouth, while his strong hands groped and squeezed her huge tits.

The two then crashed onto AJ’s bed, with Inferno on top of AJ, passionately kissing her and playing with her boobs. AJ moaned deeply and caressed Inferno's hair and his ass, hungrily kissing him back as she wanted him that bad.

Of course, Inferno wasn’t keen on having AJ touching his ass, so he retaliates by bringing one of his hands downward towards AJ’s massive posterior and squeezes her asscheek as hard as he can.

AJ responded with a lewd moan and a gasp. Even her cheeks begin to heat up on her face. With her vulnerable, Inferno then grabs both of her wrists and then pinned her arms onto the bed, as he pulls back from their kiss and then he moves his attention to her massive chest globes. Soon he leans down and kisses her breasts before he then sucks onto her nipples.

The horny apple gal feels the shivers run throughout her body. 'Oooh, Ah love a man who can take charge. Work yer magic there, big boy,' she thought. AJ was looking forward to what else he had planned for her and her body was ready.

As Inferno continues to give AJ’s chest apples some attention, one of his hands slowly moves down towards the farm girl's jean shorts and he begins to undo them and pull them down. He moves the small piece of clothing slowly down her well-toned, smooth, strong legs and then tosses them to the floor.

"I love a gal who knows how to work hard," Inferno whispers in her ear.

"Glad Ah could please ya, lover boy. Y'all can go ahead an' slip 'em in my special spot. Ah don't mind one bit," she assures while brushing her fingers against Inferno's hair.

Inferno's confidence slowly starts building up and he gets bolder as he takes her up on her offer and slides two fingers inside her pussy. AJ takes in a deep breath, shivering from having her wet vulva being played with. Inferno's grin doesn't go away and he pumps his two fingers in and out of her wet flower. AJ is now moaning and loving the way he was having fun with her.

Her cheeks were now as redder than any apple she grows on her farm. But the fingering was only a slight build-up. Now, removing his soaking fingers from AJ's special spot, he moves his face downwards until he's face to face with her dripping cunt.

"Here I come, my little apple dumpling," he says before diving in and prodding her with his tongue, tasting her sweet juices.

"Ahhh! Sweet fuckin' hell, yer full o' surprises! Right there! Don't stop! Eat me up, big boy!" Applejack moans, squirming under Inferno's touch.

Inferno continues to eagerly eat out his horny apple gal. No surprise her juices taste like… well, apples, no duh. The young man sinks his tongue deeper into her wet canals while also placing both his hands underneath her massive ass and gripping each of her asscheeks with a fierce passion.

Applejack moaned loudly while also chuckled at how much Inferno seemed so gung ho about her hind quarters. But she was not complaining, she loved how much he was obsessed with her big apple ass.

"Y'all can't get enough o' mah fresh apples, can ya?" she asks teasingly

Inferno didn’t reply back, probably too busy with tasting her apple nectar. Of course, his silence and continuous actions was enough for her to know that he indeed can’t get enough of her.

As he kept going, AJ's insides soon got tighter, clamping all around his tongue, ready to cum. AJ's breathing was getting heavy and her moaning was growing slightly louder. Inferno gave it one last push by slurping up at one of her sweet spots.

At that moment, AJ opened the floodgates, spraying Inferno with her sweet love nectar. Inferno opened wide, guzzling down her freshly made apple juice-flavored cum. All while massaging her sexy, perfectly round ass.

Once AJ's climax ended, Inferno slurped up the leftover cum dripping from her pussy, then scooched back up to face his horny farm gal.

"How was that… "sugarcube?" he asks with a boop to her nose.

"Tch, look at you, usin' mah words on me. Y'all sure lapped up mah juices real good. Ah might just have to return the favor. Lay down, "Hunk-ules." AJ orders, forcing Inferno to lay down while she shifts her weight and staddles on top of him.

Inferno felt paralyzed and completely flustered as he felt the weight and softness of AJ’s huge ass press down on top of the bulge in his pants. AJ immediately blushed once again when she felt the huge package hidden under Inferno pants and pressing against her posterior. Just feeling it nestled in between her ass, sent a tingling feeling in AJ’s entire body.

"Is that a rabbit in yer pants, or are you just happy to see me like this?" AJ asks teasingly, flaunting her naked body in all its glory. Her jiggling apple rack, her smooth, shiny, 6-pack, shiny golden hair obscuring one of her emerald eyes. She… was the very definition of a goddess.

Inferno stared at the farm girl from his position, blushing red like a cherry. “Are you sure you aren’t a goddess in disguise?” He asked.

"Why don't Ah’ show ya what Ah’ can do, then you can see if Ah'm a goddess or not," AJ says in a seductive tone. This horny golden goddess soon strips Inferno naked starting with his shirt, then works her way down to his shorts, then his underwear, pulling them both off. Right away, his massive dong springs up tall and proud. "Mah word, nice package yer carryin'."

This golden apple goddess then grabs Inferno's hardened boner, giving it a few strokes before lifting herself up. She positions her dripping snatch directly above his meat stick. "Is mah horny lover ready fer their special treat?" she asks.

Inferno nodded his head repeatedly like an idiot, but it did make AJ chuckle a bit, seeing that he was very ready and eager. She gladly takes in the entire length within her tight, wet cunt and starts riding Inferno, moaning seductively.

‘Oh gawd! His shaft is almost as big as a horse! Mah insides are being rearranged!’ She mentally screamed in her mind.

And upon instinct, Inferno raised his right hand and gave AJ’s enormous ass cheeks a hard smack, causing them to jiggle and ripple from the impact.

"AH!!! You must really love mah apples, don'tcha, handsome?" she asks while leaning down and pressing her massive boobs onto his chest, her face just inches from his.

"Can you blame me? Your ass feels so good in my hands. You might say I crave it," Inferno growls in a sultry way.

"Then keep grabbin' away, love," She urges before pressing her soft, warm lips onto his. The two swap spit together while she keeps her rhythm on his huge dick. Inferno's hands keep spanking and kneading her phat golden apple ass cheeks. AJ moans into the kiss and gyrates her hips in circles.

The two continued to ‘roughhouse’ for who knows how long, but they didn’t care. Soon Inferno began thrusting his hips upwards, causing AJ to moan uncontrollably as the force behind his thrusts shook her whole body and made her phat apple ass jiggle and bounce repeatedly.

‘Gawd! He even has the stamina and power of a horse! Gawd, Sunset must’ve had jelly legs when she rode him. An’ now Ah’ think Ah’ might be his next victim.’ Applejack thought to herself.

Inferno eventually takes control over AJ while still keeping her on top of him. His hips thrust upwards while his hands don't leave her big, juicy apple buttcheeks.

“How’s mah naughty little cowgirl holdin’ up.” Inferno spoke with a southern accent. How does he know how to speak with that accent? Well the guy was a total wild wild west geek.

"Ahh! So big! Can't… think… straight! Mah… Mah pussy's… being stretched farther! Ah… Ah might cum soon!" she moans, her eyes shooting up with every thrust and her tongue lolled out.

“Well then… How about we cook us some apple ‘cream pie’?” he said with a devious tone.

And just hearing that word: ‘cream pie’, made AJ blush even redder and speak a bit as she was eager for what's to come. She embraces it by hugging Inferno tightly, not bothering to let go. Inferno eagerly chuckles and pumps his cock inside her faster.

He puts all his energy and strength in his thrusts, which had Applejack feeling numb all across her lower body and moaning non-stop, especially when Inferno never kept his hands off of her massive apple booty.

Inferno's balls start twitching and soon, his cock explodes balls deep inside her pussy, erupting with hot, sticky, white cum. AJ moans loudly and gives out a sharp gasp. His cock keeps flaring and shooting large jets of cum inside her love tunnel. Applejack arches back, moaning louder while her stomach begins to bloat and swell up.

And as she continues to get filled, AJ screams loudly in ecstasy. “OH DEAR GAWD!!! MORE!!! FILL ME UP MORE!!!!” She screamed with bliss, her mind went blank and all she cared about at that moment was to be filled up like a large barral of cider.

And Inferno obliged. He thrusted his hips once or twice, making sure his load goes deeper into her deep chambers. AJ’s bloated belly swelled up more from the endless waves of cum rushing inside her.

Soon it wasn’t long until Inferno’s semen supply ran dry and his manhood went limp. And as for AJ, well her once toned stomach, swelled up to the size of a beach ball; making her look like she was having triplets.

And before Inferno could lift AJ off of him so he could pull out, the farm girl stopped him and said.

“No…. Ahhhh… Leave it in… Ah’ wanna feel yer cum inside me… for a bit longer.” She said with a satisfied smile while breathing heavily.

"Oh, okay." Inferno replies. He lets her stay on his cock and just cuddles with his bloated sweetheart, rubbing her tummy. "How'd you like that?"

"Best… sex… ever," AJ responds while nuzzling into his cheek.

Inferno chuckled while he slid his hand down towards her phat butt and gave it a squeeze. “Well, you got the best ass ever.” he complimented.

"And yer cock is hella huge," she chuckles. "Now Ah understand why Sunset loves ya so much. Yer one lucky guy."

“Hehe, yeah…” He responded. And as soon as Sunset came to his mind, his relaxed expression then turned into panic. “Oh… SHIT!” he shouted while grabbing both sides of his head with hands. “If Sunset finds out about this, she’s gonna kill me! Then she’s gonna bring me back as a zombie, and kill me again!” he over-exaggerated.

"Calm down, sugarcube. Ah'm sure she'll understand if we talk to her about it," AJ says.

"A…Are you sure?" Inferno asks nervously.

"Sure. If ya want, just leave it to me. Ah'll make it all better fer ya~" she says in a seductively tone, pushing her massive boobs into his face, giggling.

While he was a bit nervous, AJ's reassurance, plus the softness of her huge tits, calmed him down a bit.

“Ok, alright. Although… I would feel even more better if I could get to fondle your phat ass whenever I like.” he suggested.

"Ah ain't stoppin' ya," AJ replies, giving him the okay.

And so Inferno placed his hands back on AJ’s huge ass and groped her ass cheeks with all his desire.

“Your ass is stupendous, AJ.” Inferno commented.

"Yeah, yeah, Ah know. Now shut up an' gimme some sugar," she replies before pulling him in for another make-out session.

Guess they still have some eagerness left for a round 2.

An hour later, after some… much needed R&R, the girls and their boys all exit their rooms, completely satisfied. Everyone then met downstairs in the lobby with the rest of the college students and their friends… and just in time, too.

At the same time, a team of pizza delivery boys and girls came into the lobby and set down about 40 to 50 boxes of pizza.

"Alright, everyone! Who's hungry for pizza tonight?" Filthy Rich called out before paying for the pizza pies. Everyone in the lobby cheered, as did a certain goofball.

One of them took it to the extreme.

Inferno croutch down in a linebacker position, while having on a football helmet. “BLUE 42! SET! HUT!” He shouted as he ran forward and tackled down a tower of pizza boxes. It was a miracle that none of the pizza had spilled out of the boxes.

"HEY!!! HOW DARE YOU DEFILE THE SACRED PIZZA PIES!!!" Israel shouted in an over dramatic tone.

Inferno stares at his best friend with a smug face with his football helmet removed slightly so he could snack on a pizza slice which he took out from one of the boxes.

“Hey man. Welcome to paradise.” He simply replied while continuing to chomp away at his pizza.

Soon everyone followed and began eating the pizza and started partying.

“PIZZA PARTY!!!!!!!!!!!” Pinkie shouted out loud for everyone to hear. The pink blurr then rushed in and snatched 4 slices herself and sat herself by the window, munching on her slices.

Halfway through one of her slices, she notices something peeking at her through the window. She turns and freezes in place upon seeing one of the monsters that tried to get her back in that secluded spot. It growled before making itself scarce.

Right away, Pinkie shrieked and ran past most of the people, knocking some of them over.

"MONSTER! MONSTER!!! MONSTERS ON THE ISLAND!!!" Pinkie screamed, hiding herself underneath the couch cushions, only the tip of her hair poking out from the crack, which was shaking like a leaf.

"What the hell? Monsters? What monsters?" Sunset asks.

"I dunno, I'll ask her." Israel replies, going over to the sugar temptress. "Pinkie, what are you babbling about?" he asks.

She pokes her head out from between the couch cushions. "I saw it, Izzy! A monster outside the window just now! It tried to get me earlier today when I was wandering alone!" she tried to explain, still shaking.

"Monster? How do you know it was a monster? What'd it look like?" Israel asks.

"It… It was pitch black… had arms, but no legs! It… It had a serpent-like body and it had those… those spooky, piercing, glowing-red eyes! It was awful, Izzy! AWFUL!!!"

'Seriously? I've never heard of a monster that looks like that. Maybe she's making it up. But… then again, that look in her eyes tells me she's not lying. Hmm… I think I might have the answer to handle this.' he thought.

"Okay, I believe you, Pinkie. But first thing's first, I'm gonna try and calm these people down and then we'll get our friends and go and investigate. Sounds good?" he whispered.

"O-O-Okay. But… how are you gonna calm them down?" Pinkie asked.

"Play along, I'll show you," he whispered quietly. Then, he cleared his throat. "How many times do I have to tell you? There are no such things as ghouls, ghosts, goblins or monsters." He tells Pinkie, then throws in a wink, showing her he's putting on an act before standing on top of a table to make his speech.

"Now listen up! There is absolutely, ABSOLUTELY… no such things as--" sadly, he's cut off when something bursts through the window, catching his attention.

He turns behind him and spots the monster Pinkie mentioned. A pitch-black, serpent-like body, red, glowing eyes and long arms. It lets out a terrifying screech, flaring its fangs.

"MONSTER!!!" Israel shouted. At that moment, all hell broke loose and everyone scurried around, trying to flee for their lives. More monsters came crashing inside the hotel. Pinkie leaped out of the couch and ran for a different hiding spot.

"It's showtime, girls! Let's go kick some monster-style butt!" Rainbow encouraged.

Suddenly, one of the monsters jumped on Fluttershy and grabbed her.

"Put me down this instant! Um… i-if you don't mind, that is…" Fluttershy said, reverting to her timid nature. But the monster had other plans. It's mouth opens wide and shoots out a thick red vapor cloud into her face, somehow knocking her out.

"FLUTTERSHY!!!" Israel shouted.

Inferno watched this unfold and immediately he took off his football helmet and charged at the towering beast and then chucked the helmet at its head.

But all that did was give it a light donk on the head as it turned to glare at Inferno and snarled.

Inferno stares up at it and simply says. “I'm sorry.”

Then the monster rears its arm and then smacks Inferno across his face and knocks him towards a nearby table and crashes into it. Inferno groans in pain as he lays there, before a small flower falls out of nowhere and hits him on the head.

The young man held a straight face as he said: “...Ow.”

"Oh, you're so gonna pay for that!" Sunset growls in anger. She activates her geode while walking up to the monster and blasts it into the wall with her light magic blast. But she doesn't stop there. She literally goes off on the monster, blasting it with light magic projectiles at rapid speeds, grunting in frustration. "DON'T! YOU! EVER! HURT! MY! BOYFRIEND! AGAIN!!!"

With one last attack, she vaporizes the monster into smithereens. More monsters come crashing through the ceiling and go after the scampering college students. AJ became one of the targets, but thanks to her unparalleled strength, she tossed one of the monsters around like a ragdoll.

"EAT THIS, YOU MEANIE MONSTER THINGS!" Pinkie shouted, pulling cake out of her hair and throwing it at another monster. The cakes explode upon impact, but it hardly does any sort of damage.

"Pinkie, now's not the time to be smothering these things with cake!" Israel said.

"I'm not smothering it with cake, I'm ASSAULTING it with cake!" Pinkie corrected… until that very monster retaliated by taking the cakes she had on hand. "HOW DARE YOU TAKE THE CAKES, YOU--" before she could finish, the monster breathed out its red vapor, knocking Pinkie Pie out cold.

"PINKIE PIE!" Israel shouted.

Applejack and Sunset looked, both were shocked to find Fluttershy and Pinkie taken out and being taken away. AJ was about to rush over, but was tackled from behind by one of the monsters and had a face full of red vapor shot down on her from above at close range.

"Get… outta. . . here!" AJ said before slipping out of consciousness and getting taken away.

“APPLEJACK!” Sunset cried out to her friend as she tried to blast the monster that was walking away with her.

But as she was distracted, Sunset was soon grabbed from behind by one of the monsters. She struggled and wiggled a bit, trying to break free, but soon the monster shot out its red vapor right into her face.

As this was happening, Inferno eventually got back onto his feet while stumbling a bit, just in time to see Sunset slowly fall unconscious. Sunset looks at him for a moment before she fell asleep.

"SUNSET!!!" Inferno shouted as he tried to run after the monster, but was soon knocked back by another monster that got in his way. Inferno flew back and crashed down on the ground, knocked unconscious.

The monster then tried to grab the young man, that was until it was soon lifted off its feet by Twilight’s telekinesis and then she tossed the creature out the window of the place.

It seemed that the monsters were even going after the Rainbooms and have already taken out 4 out of the 7. With their numbers dwindling, they had to make a hasty retreat.

"Everyone, follow me! We gotta find someplace to hide!" Twilight called out.

"How, darling? Everywhere you look, there's monsters everywhere!" Rarity pointed out, hiding herself in her diamond dome.

"Maybe we can find a hiding spot somewhere outside! This place is an amusement park island resort, isn't it?" Rainbow asks.

"That's right, but how are we gonna get outta here-- OH SNAP!!!" Israel saw one of the monsters swipe at him, but he ducked in time and leaped away from it. "DO SOMETHING!" he shouts while being chased.

Rainbow soon used her superspeed to get out of the way of an incoming monster that was reaching out to get her. Fed up with these creatures, Rainbow turns to what remained of her friends and calls out to them.

“GUYS HOLD ONTO SOMETHING! I'M GONNA GIVE THESE S.O.B’S A FULL POWERED RAINBLOW DRY!” She stated.

And immediately, they all got the idea.

“Rarity! Get Inferno!” Twilight called out to the fashionista as she and Israel rushed towards a nearby pillar or anything attached to the walls or floors that they could hold onto.

Israel quickly moved from his spot and ducked behind a counter. Once he was out of the danger zone, he looked around and noticed a pizza box. He looks inside and finds a whole pepperoni pizza still waiting to be eaten.

"Mmmm," he says to himself. He grabs a slice and takes a bite. But then, at the corner of his eye, he sees a monster coming out from a dark spot under the counter. It crawls at him, baring its fangs, but Israel countered by slamming the pizza into the monster's face. He was about to leave, but then came back for his pizza because… why not?

"Thank you!" Israel said before bolting outta there while the monster was stuck wiping the pizza sauce from its face.

As that had happened, Rarity did what Twilight had told her to do and she ran towards the unconscious Inferno Blaze on the ground and she dragged him away to a safe spot to take cover. Of course, it was hard for her, cause she was dragging a 200 lb young man.

Soon they were nearing one of the counters of the place, which served as a perfect spot to take cover. Of course, as they got close, Rarity had to stop and adjust her grip on Inferno since she almost lost her grip. But when she stopped, she stumbled a bit and fell back, in doing so, Inferno’s body turned over and the two fell behind the counter and out of view.

But behind the counter, Rarity was laying on her back, and Inferno was on top of her, with his face deep in between her huge bosom. She felt her cheeks flushed slightly, most since he was still unconscious. But still, she felt embarrassed to be in this position.

'Heavens! I don't believe I've ever experienced something like this. Though… the more I think about it, he is… quite handsome… even when he’s asleep. W-What is WRONG with me?! Rarity, snap out of it, he already has a maiden of his own!' Rarity panics in her mind.

As Rainbow continues to evade the monsters, she then calls out to her friends to see if they’re in place.

“HEY GUYS. YOU ALL SET!!!” She shouted.

“I AM!” Twilight responded from her spot.

“YEAH!… ME TOO!” Israel called out as well, still eating his pizza slice.

“Y-y-yes, d-darling… s-same here!” Rarity replied as well, stuttering a bit like she was flustered about something.

"Good, then here it goes!" Rainbow said at the ready. She activates her geode and upon ponying up, she floats above the ground and flies in a circle, creating a massive rainbow tornado inside the hotel.

Twilight and Israel held on for dear life, Rarity did as well while holding onto Inferno, who’s face was still in between her breasts. Let’s just say that the fashionista’s face turned bright red.

As for the monsters, they tried to run away or grab onto something, but they were all soon pulled in by the powerful vortex of the tornado and soon they were spinning and flying into the air. Some even shot out from the tornado and crashed through a window or wall.

Eventually, Rainbow halted her running and soon her indoor tornado died down, and once it did, the remaining monsters that were still in the tornado fell to the ground and were dazed from the harsh impact of the floor.

"Okay! Everybody out!" Rainbow shouted.

The remaining Rainbooms quickly turned tail and ran for the nearest exit, Rarity getting up and carrying Inferno with her… until Israel decided to help her lighten the load.

The five ran out of the place and managed to get a good distance from the place before they had to stop and take a breather; well, Twilight, Rarity, and Israel had to. Both Israel and Rarity set Inferno down on a bench, and when they did, the fashionista turned away, hiding her blushing face.

Suddenly, the gang heard what sounded like… screeching. They looked and noticed the remaining monsters fleeing from the hotel… in terror.

"What the hell? What are they getting scared of?" Rainbow asked.

“I don’t know, darling. But whatever it is, I hope those brutes never come back.” Rarity commented.

"That's wishful thinking," Israel said.

Soon the gang are soon met with the sounds… of a dog barking? And then, to their surprise, running out of the hotel and chasing the last of the monsters away, was a small puppy dog that was growling and barking at the enormous beasts.

But this was no ordinary puppy as the gang recognized who it was.

“SPIKE!!!” Twilight shouted happily as she ran over to her canine companion.

“SPIKE?!” Rainbow, Rarity and Israel said in confusion.

"How'd he get here in the first place?" Israel asked.

After having driven off the intruders, Spike’s ears perked up as he heard a familiar voice call to him, and as soon as he turned his head, he saw Twilight running towards him, which made him smile and his tail wagging.

“Twilight!” he called out before sprinting towards her.

The two met in the middle as Twilight fell onto her knees while Spike leapt up at her as the young science gal hugged the puppy in a loving manner.

As the two embraced, Rainbow, Rarity, and Israel walked up to them, with Rarity carrying Inferno on one of her diamond shields.

"I dunno how you got here, Spike, but man, am I ever glad you did. You sure scared off those ugly monsters," Israel commented.

"Yes, but how did little Spikey-Wikey get here in the first place, darling? For that matter, why did those monsters seem to fear Spike in the first place?" Rarity asks.

“I dunno. One minute I left Twilight’s room to sneak into the party downstairs so I could steal myself a snack. But when I got there, the whole lobby looked like a tornado hit it and a bunch of monsters were standing all over the place. But when they saw me, they just cowered in fear. So I did what any normal dog would do, and I chased the big goons right out the door.” Spike explained, while taking pride in it.

"Props to you, Spike." Rainbow said, fist-bumping his paw.

“But Spikey-Wikey, how are you even here? We never saw you when we got off our flight and when we checked into the lobby?” Rarity asked.

“Oh, Twilight snuck me onto the plane and through the lobby. Apparently, this place has a “No Dogs Allowed” policy.” Spike said with distaste.

"Why is it always "no dogs allowed?" Israel asked, rolling his eyes.

"Uh, maybe we should worry less about this island's stupid rules and moreso about Inferno and… those things." Rainbow said. "How are we gonna wake him up?"

“I don’t know, even when I… accidentally ‘dropped him on the ground’,” Rarity said while blushing a little, not wanting to reveal what really happened. “He still wouldn’t wake up. The poor darling is out cold.”

"Talk about a heavy sleeper. Hmm… let me try something," Israel then took out one of his pizza slices from the box he brought with him and put it right in front of Inferno's nose. "Come on, boi, take a whiff o' dat cheesy goodness." he whispered.

Inferno’s face held no reaction for a second, before his nose scrunched up as he took a few whiffs of the pizza. And in an instant, Inferno woke up from his unconscious state.

“SUNSET!!! WHOA!!!” Inferno shouted while he was turning his body towards the edge of Rarity's diamond shield that he laid on and fell to the hard cement with a hard thud. “OW!”

“Huh? That should not be possible.” Twilight commented.

"On the contrary, Twi… pizza has its way of solving almost ANY problem," Israel winks. "Also, who DOESN'T love pizza?"

"I know I love pizza," Spike said, slurping his lips.

"Uh, everyone, I… don't mean to interrupt, but…" Rarity said, then pointing over at the direction of the hotel.

Inferno immediately got up onto his feet and he then turned left and right while shaking like a chihuahua. “AAAAH!! Where’s Sunset?! And AJ?! And Fluttershy and Pinkie?! Where the heck is everybody and what the fuck is going on!?” he shouted.

"Quiet, you idiot!" Israel whisper-yelled while socking him upside the noggin. "Look… the others… were captured by those monsters. They fought hard to drive them away, but… they didn't make it out with us. The monsters took them somewhere on the island."

“Of course I know they were captured! I haven’t lost my brain cells! The last thing I saw was one of those things carrying Sunset somewhere, and I wanna know where that even is!” Inferno responded while grasping his head. “Man I’m hungry right now, gimme that pizza.” He took the pizza slice from Israel’s hand and began snacking on it. And when he took a few bites, he eventually calmed down. “Ahhhh, I feel much better, thanks man.” he said while patting Israel's shoulder in gratitude.

"Anytime. Now, onto more pressing matters. Like what are these monsters? And what do they want with the college students?" Israel asked.

"I'm not so sure myself, but I say we follow them." Twilight said.

“I'm in.” Inferno said without hesitation.

“Are you serious, darling? We don’t even know where they might lead us?” Rarity asked.

“Hey, we need to know where they are taking everyone. And I’m not one to run away and hide.” Rainbow claimed.

"Same here. They took our friends and I'm not about to let them do as they please with them." Israel said, cracking his knuckles.

“Please don’t put that image in my head, dude. Cause now that makes me wanna rip some heads off.” Inferno responded.

"I say be my guest on that. Come on, let's see where they're taking their victims," Israel said, following the monsters from a safe distance.

Soon he was followed by Rainbow and Twilight. Inferno was soon to follow but stopped to see that Rarity was a hit hesitant to come with.

“Aren’t you coming, Rares?” He asked the fashionista.

"Oh, um… I… think I'll just… stay here, darlings," Rarity replies, chuckling nervously.

Inferno simply gives her a straight face before he turns around and approaches her. And as soon as he stops next to her, before Rarity could even say a word, the young man lifts the fashionista off her feet and carries her in a bridal position. And with that, Inferno follows behind the others with Rarity in his arms.

The fashionista was blushing madly the rest of the way.

The gang kept their distance the entire walk, keeping a close watch on the monsters and where they were dragging their unconscious victims.

Twilight was carrying Spike in her arms, to make sure he doesn’t run up ahead and scare the monsters, and reveal themselves. But that doesn’t stop the small pup from growling a bit, which Twilight had to cover his mouth to block the noise.

Eventually, they reach a spot on the island where there's a huge entrance that looks exactly like the monsters' faces and above the entrance was a sign that said "Nether World Funhouse."

The monsters were all heading inside with their unconscious victims, including Applejack, Sunset, Pinkie and Fluttershy.

Inferno, while still holding Rarity in his arms, tried to rush towards the monsters to free his girlfriend and their friends, but with the protest of the other 3 girls and being held back by Israel, Inferno halted and stared in defeat.

"No… it's too risky. We're heavily outnumbered," Israel whispered. "We don't even have the strength to take these guys on."

"Maybe we should call for help," Rarity said, taking out her cell phone.

"Oh sure, we'll just call someone and tell them "hey, our friends got nabbed by a group of black serpent demons, can you come and help us?" Rainbow said sarcastically.

"Well, you got a better idea?" Twilight asked. Just as she asked that, the entrance to the funhouse closed up via the sharp fang door.

“Aw hell, she’s got my vote. Make the call.” Inferno said as he finally put Rarity down back on her two feet.

"I'll keep it believable," Rarity says, dialing the number. The ringtone goes on for 3 rings until she gets someone.

"Hello, this is the Coastguard Tidal Wave, how can I help?" a man's voice said on the other line.

"Hello, sir? We're on Unity Island. Our friends were… uh… kidnapped. We need someone here right away."

"Well, we do have a unit in the vicinity. Can you meet him at the pier?" Tidal asked.

"Absolutely. Thank you," Rarity replied.

"Alright, they'll be right there," Tidal replied. Meanwhile, over by the watchtower, Tidal hung up the phone and turned to his partner with a sinister grin. "Our friends have been kidnapped," he repeated, as if he already knew. His partner grinned and both shared a maniacal laugh… but only for a short moment.

What strange plot has gotten the coast guard involved in this insidious scheme? Who were the monsters that took the college students and why did they take them? Only time will tell… in the next exciting chapter of Island Party Pandemic!

Friends Don't Quit

The remaining Rainbooms and the two boys had waited all night long by the pier. However, as time rolled by, the morning sun had already risen over the horizon. By this point, everyone fell asleep on the beach, laying on their towels. But then, Rarity is awoken when a volleyball bumps against her head, making her yelp.

Her yelp soon woke up the others. Inferno woke up from his slumber and soon shook his head to get sand out of his hair. Twilight soon awoke with Spike awaking beside her; the adorkable girl let out a yawn as she stretched her arms out, which lightly struck Inferno right in the face.

“Ow! Hey!” Inferno responded after having been love-tapped by Twilight.

"Sorry," Twilight said, mid-yawn.

“You got a strong arm there, science queen.” Inferno said in response.

Soon Israel was next to awaken, only to find his entire left side covered by Rainbow Dash and her large bosom. He looks down, noticing how cute Dashie looks, making cute snores while sleeping on his chest. Israel taps her on the head and whispers in her ear.

"Wakey wakey, Dashie." he says.

"Mmm, just 5 more minutes," Dashie groans as she cuddles more into Israel, nuzzling his neck without realizing it. Israel chuckles, rolling his eyes and then feels Dashie nuzzle her nose against his. He does it without a care in the world… until Rainbow finally wakes up and goes into a mad sweat when she sees how close she is to his face and backs away, blushing.

"What, no more cuddles, Dashie-Washie?" Israel teased.

"Please don't call me that! And, uh… please don't mention this to anyone.” Rainbow replied while her face was as red as a cherry.

“Too late, Dashie.” Rarity’s voice spoke.

Israel and Rainbow turned towards the others and saw them staring at them with teasing smugs on their faces.

“Do you two need privacy?” Inferno asked, with his smug unwavering.

“Yeah, we can go to another part of the beach.” Twilight added.

“SH-SHUT UP!” Rainbow responded loudly, which caused everyone to chuckle and laugh.

"Easy now. By the way, where's the--" Israel paused as he turned to look for the coast guard, but when he saw the motel they were staying at… it looked like… it was untouched. No broken windows, no scattered debris, no mess from the monsters attacking… everything was fixed.

This put Israel on edge. "Guys… something's wrong. Look." he points to the motel.

Everyone else turned to see what Israel was talking about, and soon they saw the same thing he was seeing. Everything looked… normal… a bit too normal.

“Uhh… I’m no horror movie expert… but should the whole place be trashed?” Inferno asked.

"Yeah… like, what happened to the shattered windows and the busted walls?" Spike asked.

"Excuse me, do you mind tossing that ball over here?" some random girl called out. Spike turned towards the girl and already, he could smell something off about her.

Soon the others turned towards the girl and they saw her standing in front of them, wearing beach wear. Rarity grabbed the ball and tossed it to the girl before turning to her friends.

"Looks like we'll have to investigate this matter further." Rarity said.

"Let's go." Twilight said. The others agree and leave the beach. They head further into the island and find a little rest spot with a big pool… and a whole bunch of college kids just… sitting around and reading books?

Even now, the gang can tell this doesn't look right, even Spike is in a growling fit. He was growling at every person they’ve come across. Twilight tries to get him to calm down, but the pup keeps up.

"This is definitely not how I would spend my mid-morning vacation. Where's the splashing? Where's the booming radio music? Where's the dancing? Are they laughing? No one's having a good time either!" Rainbow pointed out.

"I think we might have a better chance of figuring things out if we blend in. You know, look the part so we don't stick out like a sore thumb." Twilight suggested.

“Well you can totally fit in with those kids, Twi. They’ve become eggheads like you.” Rainbow commented while pointing to the young teens studying at the pool, which earned her a glare from Twilight.

“Ok, let's split up then. Twilight, Spike, and I will oversee the college kids here. Israel, Rainbow, and Rarity; you guys will infiltrate the kids on the beach.” Inferno suggested.

"Alright. You guys be careful." Israel said before fist bumping his best bud.

“Good luck.” Inferno said in response as he and Twilight, along with Spike, break off with them and head inwards in the resort.

“Alright then! Let's head down to the beach.” Rainbow proclaimed as she was about to walk ahead of Rarity and Israel. Only to stop when the fashionista grabs her wrist.

“Ah Ah Ah! Not so fast, darling.” Rarity spoke. “Like Twilight said, we must blend in with the crowd if we are to have our investigation be successful. And since we’re heading down towards the sandy beaches, we must look the part.” she explained.

Then Rarity drags Rainbow to the nearest clothing store on the island, Rainbow looks back to Israel with pleading eyes. Israel shrugs, not knowing what he's supposed to do.

"Uh, what do you expect me to do? Wait out here?" Israel asked.

“YOU TRAITOR!” Rainbow screamed at Israel before Rainbow dragged her into one of the beach clothing stores and out of sight.

"How am I a traitor when she-- UGH!!! Girls… so impossible these days," Israel said, squinting the bridge above his nose. He then looks down at his usual clothing and thinks to himself… "Maybe I should find some clothes to blend in, too.

So, the goofball goes to the same store as the girls. He heads into the men's section, looking for something that's suited towards his taste of style. Sure enough, he comes across a pair of dark blue swim trunks with a white shooting star on it.

"Hmmm, these'll do." he said. He goes and takes them into the fitting room to try them on.

And as he arrives at the changing rooms, he sees that there are two, one of them has its door closed and the other doesn’t have its door. Israel sighs in annoyance as he looks at the sign hanging on the side of the changing room without its door.

“Some wreckless teenager broke the door off, changing room unavailable till repairs are made. Sorry for the troubles.” the sign read.

“Of course.” Israel said.

“Psst.” He heard someone speak silently to him.

Then he turns to the other changing room and he sees Rainbow peaking through the opening of the door of the second changing room.

"Hmm? Dash, what's up?" Israel whispered, walking over a little.

"Well Rarity had already finished dressing into her swimwear and she’s now in the bathroom, putting on her dumb makeup. And when she left… I… forgot to ask her for help.” Rainbow said with her face blushing a bit.

"I see. In that case, I'll help you out," Israel replied. "Turn around and I'll help you tighten your bikini for you."

Rainbow blushed even more when Israel said that; almost like she’s feeling embarrassed. But before Israel could say anything, Rainbow reached her hand out from the changing room, and she dragged Israel in it with her.

In the room, Israel is met with a sight he will never forget. There she stood, Rainbow Dash, completely topless in all her glory. Israel's eyes nearly bulge out from the sexy sight. His cheeks flushed rose red.

Rainbow notices him staring for too long, causing her to get even more flustered and her face even redder as she covers up her huge bosom with her arms.

"Don't look, you dork!" Rainbow exclaimed while feeling more embarrassed than she ever did; which unfortunately, made her look cuter than before.

"Well, excuse me, but you're the one who dragged me in here all of a sudden!" Israel argued, trying to avoid peeking at her bosom. "So, do you want me to help you with your bikini or not?"

Rainbow’s cheeks puffed out as she was blushing, then she turned around and reached for her bikini top that she had hanging on the hook railing. At that moment, Israel is given a view of Rainbow’s plump and firm butt.

'God, why does she have to be so CUTE when she pouts like that?' he thought. 'And damn, how can someone have such a HUGE, sexy ass?'

Soon Rainbow turns back around and she hands Israel her bikini top. “Here. Help me put this on, please?” she asked softly. 'This is humiliating. Having him see me naked like this. Then again… I wonder if he thinks I look good this way,' she thought to herself.

Israel grabbed her bikini and he and Rainbow face towards the mirror in the changing room. He wrapped it around her bosom, making sure it was on right. Afterwards, he helped tie the strings together just tight enough, but not too tight. Even a woman's bosom needs some air to breathe. As they were in this position, Rainbow’s tushie was unintentionally pressed up and rubbing against Israel’s crotch area.

And upon doing so, the two were both blushing red as a cherry and they both had many thoughts and emotions going through their minds.

‘Oh… my… GOSH!!! I can feel his… why is it so… How come no girl hasn’t claimed him yet?!” Rainbow thought in her mind as she felt Israel’s tent in his shorts. Though she does not know that two of her friends had already rode him. And now her body was having a tingling feeling that Fluttershy and Pinkie had.

'Holy fuck! How the hell does she not have a boyfriend?! Her ass is like a HUGE, fluffy cloud! If she doesn't move, I might be tempted to do something VERY RISKY!' he thought

Rainbow tries her best to block out her deeper and lustful instincts, as she tries to control her body’s tingling. However, her body was working against her, with her hips moving on her own a bit, causing her ass to rub deeply against Israel’s crotch. At this point, Israel couldn't stop himself from hugging Dashie with one arm from behind and cupping one of her ass cheeks with the other.

Her fleshy booty mounds feel so soft, smooth and squishy. "Could you be anymore perfect?" he whispered in her ear.

Upon hearing the words that he said, it had Rainbow stiff and her eyes widened and her face redder. ‘He thinks I’m… I’m… perfect?! Me?! Perfect?! No, no that can’t be… Mmmph! Gosh he’s grabbing my ass so fucking good… Nnngh! I… I…’ Her thoughts plagued her mind as she was now at her limit. ‘... oh fuck it!’

Rainbow then swiftly turned around to face Israel and she instantly brought her lips up to his, kissing him passionately and pushing her tongue into his mouth. Her action forcefully pushed Israel back against the other wall, but she never ceased her hold on him and his lips.

Taken aback by her actions, Israel slowly gave into his urges and held Dashie in his arms, kissing her back. He caressed and worshiped everything about her. Even caressed her cheeks with his thumb. His other hand kept kneading her fleshy ass and even spanked it a little, but not too loud to avoid being found out by the store employees.

The two lovebirds soon parted lips for air, leaving only a small trail of saliva to connect them. They looked deep into each other's eyes for a long while after.

Rainbow then reached behind her and removed her bikini top, undoing Israel’s work for earlier, revealing her naked bosom to him once again. The goof didn't care, as he could easily redo it again once he's done having his fun.

For now, he goes in and sucks on her left boob and cups her right jug, fondling it in a circle. Rainbow fights the urge to suppress her loud moans, but the sad part is that her large breasts have become so sensitive. It was like torture and pleasure all rolled into one.

She didn't know what to do except hold her goofball in her booby trap, letting out repressed moans and quiet panting noises.

“F-Fuck… you’re… Nngh! So… Ah~! Fucking… Nngh!... Good at this.” Rainbow complimented Israel. “Keep… Nnngh!... going,” she urged.

Israel continues to comply as he keeps on sucking on her nipples, fisting and squeezing her sensitive tits like their putty. Rainbow fights so hard to not moan louder, but her mental strength was fading quickly.

The horny goof goes for another creative gusto by mashing her fun bags together and sucking on both nipples at once… hard.

And that when Rainbow… “AAAAAAAH~!” She couldn’t keep it in anymore. She doesn’t care if anyone could hear her, not when she has a hot dude tasting her tits. “Fuuuuuuuck! Don’t stop, Izzy!” She screamed, while panting heavily and strengthening her hold on Israel, keeping him smushed against her tits.

Now Israel grew cautious and let for a moment. "Shhh!!! Dashie, do you wanna get us thrown outta here?!" he asked in a hushed voice.

Instead of replying, Rainbow pulled Israel close and passionately kissed him again, slipping her tongue, before she pulled back and looked at him with a lustful gaze.

“I… don’t care. Not when I have a handsome guy like you to fuck my brains out.” Rainbow lustfully stated. “Besides… it's my turn to suck you off, big boy~!” she happily proclaimed as she soon slowly got down onto her knees.

Once she did, she gripped her hands onto his shorts and pulled them down. Soon Israel’s massive manhood sprung free from its fabric prison and it slapped into Rainbow’s cheek as her eyes widened with wonder and shock, as her face once again lit up like a red Christmas light.

'Hot damn, he's even bigger than I thought! Oh, this is gonna be so good. Time to dig in,' she thought with a seductive grin. Rainbow licks her lips and opens her mouth wide, leaning in and taking in about half of his massive cock. She licks around it to get a good taste, then sucks on it hungrily while stroking the bottom half.

'F-Fuck! I think she just got 20% hornier!' he thought, groaning in pleasure.

‘Fuck! I can feel his huge cock pushing halfway into my throat! BEST! DICK! EVER!’ Rainbow thought as she was hungrily sucked on Israel’s meat rod.

Our hazel-eyed comedy friend let out a slight grunt before covering his mouth. 'Shit! Keep it together, you dumbass! Ahh, but she's so fucking good at this!' he thought.

Rainbow kept sucking on him for several minutes, until she soon got a creative idea in her head. She reels her head back, freeing Israel’s manhood from her maw, before she would soon after trap it in between her huge bosom and give him a titjob.

“Does this feel good for you, babe~? How does it feel to have an exclusive Rainbow titjob~?” She asked him with a sultry tone.

"It's… 20% cooler!" Israel groaned in pleasure. Rainbow was glad to hear that coming from her precious budderball.

Rainbow gave him a heartedly chuckle. “Thanks, babe. You’re so 20% cooler than any other guy I met.” She commented before she then took the tip of his dick back into her mouth while still continuing rubbing her tits along the base.

Israel kept his hand close to his mouth, suppressing his heavy breathing and groans. But he couldn't deny how good it felt having Dashie's boobs rub against his dick while she sucked on his beefy behemoth. The sensation gets to him so much, he thrusts his hips in sync with Rainbow's head bobbing. Rainbow’s eyes widened as she felt Israel thrust his cock deeper into her mouth and forced her tits to bounce from his movements.

Minutes go by and Israel's ballsack begins to churn. "Nnngh!!! Dashie… I'm cumming!" he warned in a hushed voice, hoping she'd stop.

But hearing what he said, only made Rainbow more hungry and eager as she continued her actions, wanting to have him shoot out his load down her throat. She rubbed her tits faster than ever and she sucked on his cock deeper, all to get him to release.

‘Cum for me, Izzy~ Cum down my slutty throat~!’ She thought with such lust and arousal.

Her efforts prove effective against her goofy lover and he grunts as he thrusts his hip one last time before blasting a stream of cum down her slutty throat. His hips jerked with each spurt coming from his meat volcano.

Rainbow’s eyes widened and her cheeks puffed out as Israel’s massive load filled up her mouth, forcing the rainbow-haired gal to swallow up globs of his cum as much as possible.

‘Too… much… tasty… cum~” her mind was racing with so many aroused emotions as she continued to drink up his load.

Soon Israel’s load starts to cease and halt its flow, which prompts Rainbow to pull back and pop the young man’s dick from her mouth. Her mouth was still full of cum, which her puffed up cheeks gave hints. Quickly she gulps it down her gullet, with that she lets out a moaning gasp for air and her tongue hanging from her mouth as she stared up at Israel with lustful eyes.

“Ahhhhhh~ Ahhhhh~ Man… That… was 20% cooler, Izzy~.” Rainbow commented.

"Th… Thanks, Dash. So… So were you," Israel replied between breaths.

“Hehe, always the flatterer, aren’t ya.” Rainbow said as she got up back on her feet, though she was clumsy a bit while doing so. She then turns her back towards Israel while slowly taking off her bikini bottom. Then she bends a little, planting her hands on the wall of the changing room, presenting her huge ass towards him. And with the tight space they are in, Israel’s cock was sandwitch in between her massive ass cheeks.

“Fuck me, big boy~ Fuck me hard~” She urged him while rubbing her naked ass against his massive dick.

"You asked for this, my slutty Dashie," he whispered in her ear. And taking control of the matter, he grabs hold of her while he thrusts his cock straight into her pussy, slamming home. He hugs Rainbow's body while he plows her plump ass like a steam piston.

“AAAAAAAH~!” Rainbow screamed with such ecstasy as she felt her insides stretched out and being plowed by Israel’s monster cock. “Fuck! Fuck me hard, Izzy! Make me yours!”

"Shhh, you wanna get everyone's attention? I oughta punish you for this," he replied in a hushed voice before spanking her phat ass and turning her head to capture her lips.

Rainbow continues to moan while she kisses Israel passionately. Her whole body shook with each of his thrusts, her ass ripples and jiggles from the harsh impacts from his thrusts, her tits bounced non-stop and her legs grew numb. The rainbow-haired girl’s mind was starting to blank and blur.

Israel groped and fondled her bosom to add more to the pleasure. Now Dashie's breasts being fondled, her ass being spanked and her pussy being ravaged by her handsome goofball were really driving her insane. The sensation felt like heaven and she didn't want it to end.

Soon it all went to her head as she pulled her lips from his and she soon started to speak.

“Izzy… I-I’m sorry.” She said through her body shaking from her ass being plowed.

“Uh?” Israel responded in confusion of what she meant.

“I’m sorry… For everything! For my shitty behavior in the past. For me being the cause of our friendship with our friends ruined and broken! For me being such a bitch to you and everyone!” She spoke sorrowfully through her lust and moans.

"Dash… I wouldn't say you're entirely to blame, but I thank you for acknowledging your mistakes to me." Israel replied.

“No… I was the root of our rift! So it's my fault!” Rainbow responded. “But… I promise you! I will do everything and anything to make up for my actions; especially for my bitch attitude towards you and everything I said. From this day forward… AAAAH! I… will let you fuck me all you want. Every day. Every night! We can have this fun with each other for as long as you wish!” She proclaimed.

"Dashie… I forgive you…" Israel replied. 'Even though that's unnecessary.' he thought. "Come here, love."

Turning her whole body around to face him, while keeping his dick inside her pussy, he hugs her close, deepens the kiss and plows her harder, faster and deeper. At the rate he's going, he can feel his ballsack churning once more.

Rainbow Dash feels his cock growing inside while her inner walls clamp around his big cock.

“Mmmmmmm…Izzy! I have to tell you something… I… I always had a bit of a… c-crush on you! B-Back in Canterlot High!” Rainbow proclaimed. “But… I have been so prideful and… such an ego-headed bitch… to even admit it! And knowing Fluttershy’s feelings for you… I-I know that I can’t have you… b-but… I can’t deny it anymore! I-I-I love you, Izzy!” She explained, confessing her hidden feelings.

"And I…" Israel paused as he thrusted balls deep and finally blew his load straight into her love chambers at full blast. "...I love you too, Dashie!" he grunts, confessing back to her. Rainbow's greedy, wanting womb sucks in every drop of his cum, gradually bloating the athletic horny gal.

Rainbow and Israel plant their lips together, sealing their feelings for each other, and also muffling their loud moans. Dash could feel her stomach swell and stretch, as her once toned belly bloated up to the size of a beach ball.

It felt like over a few minutes the two were stuck in this position, as Israel could feel his manhood grow limp as he had spent his entire load in Rainbow’s womb. Rainbow can feel all of his cum sloshing inside of her belly, making her feel like she had drunk the Apple family’s entire cider supply… and she had done that once before.

Soon the two break their kiss, leaving a small trail of saliva between them. Rainbow and Israel stared into each other's eyes, breathing and panting heavily, as the latter’s cock had blocked his load from pouring out of Rainbow.

“That… was… awesome,” Rainbow spoke softly while still panting heavily.

"So… were you… babe," Israel replied softly between breaths.

Rainbow smiled warmly in response to hearing that. “Thank you… babe.” She said, as her eyes got a bit teary. She then wipes them away, trying not to look like an emotional mess. Then a lingering feeling irked at the back of her mind. “Oh man, I guess I permanently ruined my friendship with Fluttershy when I willingly had sex with her crush first.” She said with a sad tone, while starting to hate herself a bit.

"Not if I have a talk with her once we rescue her. I'll explain to her the situation about our relationship and hopefully convince her to share me between you, her and possibly Pinkie. If I gotta lose an arm or leg because of it, so be it." he said.

Rainbow stares at him with confusion and curiosity. “Wait… What does Pinkie have to do with… Hold on… did you…?” She tries to ask him.

"Heh… yeah, I did it with Pinkie, too." Israel said, embarrassed. “And Fluttershy as well.”

Rainbow looks at him with a dumbfounded expression. So Fluttershy and Pinkie got to Israel first before her? No wonder why he was such a good fuck.

“Well… that’s surprising… and that would explain why you are such a good fuck.” Rainbow commented. “Well I guess I’m not your special girl, am I?” She asked with slight sorrow.

"You are my special girl. And you always will be. You, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie all hold a special place in my heart. Fluttershy's kindness, Pinkie's funny personality, and then there's you… the most loyal of all. That's something I can never and WILL never replace." Israel replied, stroking her beautiful rainbow hair.

Rainbow’s cheeks blushed, tears ran down from her eyes, and her smile grew wide as she gave one more kiss on Israel’s lips, showing her appreciation and love for his words. Israel shared her kiss with his own. In their kiss, Israel’s hands felt Rainbow’s bloated belly.

Soon the two broke their kiss as they looked into each other’s eyes and smiled warmly. Later Israel soon realized that he hadn't pulled out of Rainbow. And as soon as he was about to, Rainbow also realized about one thing.

“Wait! Don’t!” She stops Israel from pulling out his manhood from her womb.

“What?” Israel asked her.

“If you pull out, we’ll make a mess.” She said while looking down at her bloated cum-filled belly and then looking back up at Israel. “A really BIG mess.”

"Hmm… lemme ask you something. Do you still have your geode," Israel asked.

“Uh… duh. It's in the pocket of my jacket.” She said, pointing over towards her short-sleeved jacket hanging on the hook railing.

"Then here's what I'm thinking; I'll hold onto you and you use your geode to run around the store at blinding speeds, collecting random clothes and bringing them back to this fitting room. Once we've gotten them, I'll pull out and you use the clothes to soak up my milk batter." Israel whispered in her ear. "Then, we'll leave the clothes here and pay for your bikini, along with my swim trunks and high-tail it outta here before they check up on us."

“Okay. Let's do it.” Rainbow said in agreement.

A few minutes later, Rarity soon steps out of the bathroom after having finished doing her make-up. The fashionista wore a white, deep V-neck, one-piece swimsuit; which hugged tightly along her curves and her large bosom, and a large beach hat.

“Ahhhh, now I’m all prepped for the beach.” Rarity proclaimed while she adjusts her swimsuit to make it comfortable for her huge breasts, even hefting them up to make them presentable.

And while she did that, she remembers back from last night when Inferno, while unconscious, had his face nestled between her bosom. And when that memory came back, the fashionista’s cheeks turned red.

‘Oh, merciful heavens. Just seeing him all cuddled up and nestled in my bosom like that. I don't think I've ever felt more embarrassed in my life! Especially… especially with how handsome he looks when he sleeps. Hoo, if I don't control myself, I might try to steal him away from Sunset. Oh, woe is me,' she thought.

She then shakes away those thoughts as she tries to keep her focus on the present.

“Ok, focus on the mission, and my mind will be cleared.” Rarity says to herself as she heads back on over to the changing rooms. “I wonder if Rainbow Dash has already changed and is waiting for me.” she said to herself, again.

Upon arriving at the changing rooms, Rarity spots Rainbow Dash standing by them, wearing the bikini set that she had forced her to wear, Rarity quietly chuckles to herself from her little idea of payback. And standing by Rainbow, to the fashionista’s surprise, Rarity sees Israel, who has also changed into his beach attire.

“Why hello, Rainbow Dash darling, I hope I didn’t keep you waiting.” Rarity spoke to her rainbow-haired friend.

“Uh… No, No you didn’t… I was able to do something to keep my mind distracted.” Rainbow responded, while trying to act cool from her little ‘activity’ from a few minutes ago.

Then Rarity turns her attention towards Israel. “And Israel darling, I didn’t expect that you would meet us here. Hope I didn’t make you and Rainbow wait too long.” She said,

"My mind has its own little world I roam around in, so no worries. Also, I needed to blend in with the crowd, too." Israel pointed out. He gestures to himself, all decked out in his new blue swim trunks with a shooting star on it. He has his shirt off seeing as how it was gonna be extra warm all day.

“My, you certainly look the part. And Rainbow Dash, you look scrumptious yourself. No boy is gonna overlook you at the beach.” Rarity spoke to her tomboy friend with a teasing tone in her voice.

"Heh, thanks Rares," Dashie chuckled.

"Says the classy lady in a v-shaped bikini… which, by the way, makes you look FABULOUS!" Israel sang out that last word.

"Ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo, you flatterer," Rarity winked, giggling at his praise. "Now then, enough chit-chat, let's investigate the behavior of the students, shall we?"

"I second that notion," Rainbow agreed.

"Let's do it." Israel nodded.

And so the three went to the front to pay for their clothes, and soon after that, they made their way down to the beach.

Meanwhile, back with Inferno, Twilight, and Spike, the three did a little reconnaissance on the students who were showing strange and mysterious behaviors. And in their investigation, the college students seemed to have recollected or thought of last night’s incident, and they weren’t experiencing any of normal college kid behaviors.

"I just don't understand. Everyone's just… sitting around and… talking… business? You'd think this'd be something they'd worry about when in a classroom, not at a vacation resort." Twilight pointed out to Inferno.

“Yeah, also the fact that our little canine here won’t stop being hostile towards them.” Inferno said while gesturing towards the pup in Twilight’s arms.

Indeed, Spike was snarling at the college students, even barking at them if they got too close, which was something Twilight and Inferno had never seen him do before, well in any normal occasion. He was always calm around people, and he rarely showed hostility unless it was people that got on his bad side or if they were threats to the girls. But now he was barking at anyone in his sight.

Soon two of the college students walked too close and soon Spike was barking aggressively towards them.

"Ugh!!! Get away from me, you mangy mutt! You'll make me break out in hives! I have no time to worry about yapping little rats when I've got stocks to manage!" one guy said.

"Who even brought that disgusting mutt into this establishment in the first place?" One lady asked in a snobbish tone.

As soon as they walked far away, Twilight tries her best to calm Spike down while Inferno continues to watch the two college students walk on.

“Spike, calm down! You’re not being very helpful in our investigation!” Twilight said to her canine companion.

“Jeez, did those jerks ever hear of the phrase; ‘man’s best friend’?” Inferno muttered.

"You'd think with their attitudes, they might be more snobbish than Spoiled Rich." Twilight said.

“Eh… nah, that woman is way above that limit.” Inferno remarked, humorously.

"Guys, it's not the college students I don't like, it's the smell and their aura. You can't smell it or see it, but I can," Spike whispered.

“And that’s why we bring you along, Spike. Twi’s the brains, I'm the muscle, you’re the nose.” Inferno commented.

“Wait? What smell, Spike?” Twilight asked the pup.

“I don’t know, but something about it makes me wanna bite someone's leg.” Spike exclaimed.

“Ok, so what we got is college kids going bummer and they have a smell that dogs hate. This is gotta be the weirdest situation we ever got ourselves into.” Inferno stated.

"No kidding." Twilight said.

"You know what I think is weird?" said a familiar female voice. Twilight jumped a little and then looked over Inferno's shoulder, spotting two of their missing friends.

"S…Sunset? Fluttershy?" Twilight exclaimed in shock. Inferno looked over his shoulder and there they were, standing right before them. But… Now they looked different too.

Sunset had on a short-sleeved button-up burgundy shirt and a white miniskirt. She's wearing what looks like reading glasses and has her hair tied in a bun.

Fluttershy's hair was also in a bun and had on reading glasses. But she had on a short-sleeved dark purple shirt with a crop top, exposing part of her breasts. And has a matching purple miniskirt on, too. Both girls looked like they were dressed for business and not a vacation.

Inferno smiled happily seeing Sunset again and safe, despite her new look. “SUNSET!” He cheered happily as he rushed forward and wrapped his arms around his girlfriend. “I’m so glad you’re ok! What happened to- WHOA!” He was then pushed back by Sunset with a light nudge; a light nudge that sent him crashing on his ass to the ground.

"Slow your roll there, hot shot. I'm fine." Sunset said, acting like last night's incident never happened at all. "Besides, this is a new attire. I gotta look presentable."

"Yes, so please try not to get too close to us," Fluttershy added.

“Girls! Do you even remember what happened last night?! You were… I mean… How… What… Why are you not remembering last night?” Twilight said.

"Twilight, perhaps you've been on your laptop for far too long last night. I think you need a break from your magic research if you're going to get far in life… Don't you agree?" When Sunset asked that last part, her eyes changed for a moment from turquoise blue to a deep, demonic red color, no irises, no pupils, just pure red and she gave Twilight a good look from up close… Very up close.

Twilight immediately froze in terror upon seeing those eyes. A cold chill ran down her spine. In her mind and heart, whoever or whatever this person is in front of her… was definitely not Sunset Shimmer.

While Twilight was paralyzed in the moment, Spike immediately sensed the threat that was emitting off Sunset and Fluttershy and he acted upon it, barking and growling at the two. He could smell the same scent on the two girls, which made know that these were not the girls that he knew.

"GRRR!!! You rotten vermin!!! Don't you DARE get so close to me!" Sunset snarled at Spike.

"You… You're not Sunset OR Fluttershy! Who are you and what have you done to our friends?" Twilight demanded.

"I think you know who… or "what" we are," the possessed Sunset retorted confidentally. Sure enough, groups of other students gathered behind Sunset and Fluttershy. And altogether, their eyes changed to a demonic red color and as they opened their mouths, red vapor came hazing out, just like the demons that attacked them last night.

"Uh… now might be a good time to run…" Twilight pointed out, feeling a bit scared.

“Agreed!” Inferno responded back as he immediately got back onto his feet and both he and Twilight booked it out of there as fast as they could.

Both screamed in terror while Spike kept barking as the large group of demonic possessed students chased after them.

Meanwhile, during all of that, Rainbow, Rarity, and Israel wandered the beach, observing and blending in with the crowd of college students there.

Rainbow and Rarity had a difficult time due to them being eyed by many of the boys there, but at least they were being suspicious. But they kept close to Israel, for the three had no idea what the students might do if they caught on with their investigation.

"What do you suppose caused all these happy college students to turn into a bunch of study-obsessed, pains-in-the-necks? They're acting like that Jack dude from that one movie where he types in "all work, no play." Rainbow pointed out.

"You mean from The Shining?" Israel asked.

"Yeah, that." Rainbow confirmed.

“Well these students don’t seem to be acting like the others, but it would seem that this group has the fewer number of students compared to the majority we saw earlier.” Rarity claimed.

“Yeah, you’re right, Rares. Everyone here seems to be normal, while everyone else within the island is acting like a bunch of eggheads, and I don't mean the good kind like Twilight and the handsome kind like Israel. More like the extremely bad kind of eggheads.” Rainbow commented.

"Handsome? Me? Heh, and Rarity says I'm the flatterer," Israel chuckled.

“Oooh, is there something you’re not telling me, Rainbow darling?” Rarity asked in a teasing way.

“YOU TWO KNOW WHAT I MEANT!” Rainbow responded loudly, while also blushing a bit in embarrassment.

"D'awww, you're so cute when you get all blushie-blushie." Israel teased.

“My, my, I never pegged you for a flirty type, Dash.” Rarity teased as well.

Sh-sh-Shut up, guys!” Rainbow shouted at them, only becoming more flustered by the minute.

And before the conversation could continue, the three are then interrupted when they hear Inferno’s voice calling out to them.

“GUYS! GUYS!”

They turned towards the direction of where that was coming from, and soon they saw Inferno and Twilight, while still carrying Spike, were about 50 yards away and running at them at full speed.

“HAUL ASS! HAUL ASS! RUN! RUN!” Inferno shouted at them frantically.

“START RUNNING!!!” Twilight shouted as well.

Both of them sounded scared out of their minds, which had Israel, Rarity, and Rainbow confused. That was… until they saw the horde of college students appear on the horizon and running directly behind Inferno and Twilight.

“FLY YOU FOOLS!!!” Inferno and Twilight shouted at the same time.

Upon seeing them, they also noticed the red vapor coming out of their mouths. Right away, the goof of the group let out a panicked scream before booking it outta there.

Soon Twilight and Inferno caught up to them and the small group ran as fast as they could. The remaining beach goers at the party all saw the incoming horde as well and they tried to get out of the way, few were successful, but the majority were overtaken and captured by the possessed students. Dragging them to who knows where.

After leaving the beach, the remaining 3 Rainbooms and the two boys, plus dog, ran as far as they could across the resort; even going deep into the dense jungle forest to try and shake off their chasers.

Through the forest, Rainbow ran ahead of them due to her athletic speed, with Israel and Inferno trailing behind her, with Twilight and Rarity trailing behind the boys.

But soon Rarity trips over a rock or on the uneven terrain of the forest, causing her to stumble and fall.

“AAAH!” She screamed as she hit the ground.

The group stop to look back at the fallen fashionista, as Inferno breaks off from them and runs back for Rarity. He looks back at the others for a bit as he does.

“You guys keep going! We’ll catch up with you!” Inferno shouts towards them, urging them to get moving.

"Alright. But don't get caught!" Israel said before he kept booking it deeper into the forest. Twilight and Rainbow followed behind him.

As Rarity gets up from her fall, wincing in pain. “Ow.” She said, before Inferno quickly kneels down next to her, picks her up in a bridal carry.

And without any time for chivalry or patience, Inferno booked it as fast as he could go, carrying Rarity in his arms, through the forest, trying to catch up to the others, as he screamed loudly. "NO BEAUTY LEFT BEHIND!!!"

'Oh my! So… chivalrous… So noble… So… infatuating,' Rarity thought as she felt herself falling for this handsome rescuer.

Soon enough, with his face pacing, Inferno was able to catch up with the others, seeing them up ahead as he increased his speed.

“GUYS! WE’RE COMING BEHIND YOU! JUST KEEP GOING!” Inferno shouted out for them.

"Alright, but be careful and don't let those freaks catch you," Israel said before bolting into the forest some more. Rainbow and Twilight increase their speed to keep up with the young man.

But soon their running came to a halt as the three, plus pup, halted at a fork in the path they were running on. And soon it gave time for Inferno and Rarity to catch up and join back with them.

“Why did you guys stop?!” Inferno asked while nearly out of breath.

“Fork in the road, Inferno!” Rainbow responded.

“Which path do we take!?” Twilight asked, looking side to side with each path.

And in their moment of pondering, the group would soon hear the sounds of the possessed students drawing near, causing them all to look back to see if they were behind them. While they didn’t see a single one of them, their demonic growls sounded like they were close by.

Inferno looks back in horror while also looking at Rarity then towards Twilight, Rainbow and Spike, and in a second he had a crazy idea.

“Alright! Here’s what we’re gonna do!” Inferno said as he gently and quickly put Rarity down and let her stand back on her two feet. “You girls take the right path, me and Israel will take the left path and we’ll draw them away from you!”

"Are you sure you'll be alright by yourselves?" Twilight asks.

"Don't worry about us, we've gotten out of worse scrapes than this back home. We'll manage it all the same," Israel replied.

“Just get to safety! We’ll meet up with you guys as soon as we can!” Inferno added.

“But darlings…” Rarity tries to protest.

“JUST GO!!!” Inferno shouted at them.

With Inferno’s aggressive shouting, Twilight and Rarity soon did as the boys asked and they ran towards the right path. Rainbow, on the other hand, took a quick time to approach Israel and give him one last kiss on the lips before she would go. Inferno watches this with wide eyes.

“Please be safe, ok.” She asks him before she quickly follows behind Twilight and Rarity, and soon the girls and Spike were out of sight and far enough for them to not be seen.

"I will," Israel muttered quietly as he's all alone with his pal. He looks over to Inferno, who was staring at him with wide eyes and a slight smug on his face.

“Man, you are one lucky dude.” Inferno teased his best pal.

Israel gives him a light punch in the shoulder while also smirking. “Shut up, man.” he chuckled.

But soon the bro moment ended as the two heard the possessed students’ growls draw nearer. They look out to the forest behind them, and they finally see the horde approaching. With they’re plan set, the boys then get their attention.

“HEY YOU DEMONIC BASTARDS! OVER HERE!” Inferno shouted while waving his arms in the air.

"OVER HERE, FRUIT CAKES!!!" Israel taunted, turning around and shaking his macho, manly ass all willy-nilly.

“TWO FRESH YOUNG MALES! RIPE FOR THE TAKING!” Inferno added on.

And sure enough, it got the possessed students’ full attention as they all ran towards their direction.

“And now we run!” Inferno exclaimed as he and Israel hightailed it and took the left path as they ran like they were running away from the devil.

"Grab the mental one," one of the possessed ones ordered as they gave chase to the boys.

Fortunate for the girls, and unfortunate for the boys, the horde followed them down the left path.

The boys took only small glances at the horde behind them, seeing that the plan was working.

“Well, they’re following us!” Inferno shouted with an anxious smile.

"Yes and it's only a matter of time before we run out of breath and they catch us! We need to find something to get us outta here faster!" Israel pointed out.

The boys kept running and running until one of them spotted something in the distance.

“Look! Giant shed!” Inferno proclaimed as he pointed over to a, wouldn’t you know it, a giant shed up ahead.

"Good thinking! Quick, get inside!" Israel said. They rush over to the front door of the shed and Israel opens up to let his friend in first. Inferno rushes in and Israel follows, closing the door. "This won't hold for long, find whatever you can in this shed that can help us, I'll try and keep the doors from getting pried open."

“Ok!” Inferno responds and soon he gets to searching the whole place.

And in just mere minutes, the walls of the shed start to shake, as the horde of demonic possessed students have caught up to them and are now in the process of breaking in. Banging and slamming on the walls, searching for or making a way in.

Soon enough one of the students punched through the walls, missing Israel’s face by an inch. Then it's followed by more students punching more holes in the walks and tearing off bits of it.

“DUDE, HURRY!” Israel shouted in panic.

“I’M TRYING! I’M TRYING!” Inferno responded back as he searched. Sooner thanlater, he comes across a huge tarp covering something underneath, Inferno looks underneath the tarp and what he sees makes his eyes widen. Immediately he looked over to Israel and said: “HEY DUDE! I FOUND OUR SALVATION!” He informs him as he pulls the entire tarp off.

And it revealed two dirt quad bikes, looking to be in perfect condition.

“DIRT BIKES!” Inferno proudly shouted.

"Inferno…!" Israel looked with awe and ran over to hop aboard one of the bikes. "On three, we bust outta here and ride off! Ready?"

Inferno hops onto the other bike, grabbing a helmet out of nowhere and placing it on his head and placing on a pair of goggles. “I was born ready,” he proclaimed.

"Right. One… Two… THREE!!!" Israel counted down. And as they started the engines up, the two floored it on the gas pedals, crashing through the doorway and booked it past the demons.

“HIPPEE KI YAY MOTHERFUCKA!!!!” Inferno shouted loudly in excitement.

They kept going down the path, getting more distance away from the horde of demonic-possessed students, until they saw AJ jump out of the bushes and then jumped out of the way just as the two boys stopped.

"AJ?!" Israel exclaimed.

“AJ?!” Inferno exclaimed as well, but as he looked her over. She appeared to be not dressed the same way as the other student, in fact, Applejack looked to be dressed in her same clothes from last night. At that moment, Inferno knew for sure AJ was herself. “AJ, you’re okay! You’re actually ok!” he said with glee.

"Good ta see ya too, Inferno. But ‘Ah wish ‘Ah could say the same 'bout the others. They got that creepy look in their eyes!" AJ said.

“Yeah we know! They’re possessed by demons. Hop on!” Inferno responded while gesturing to her to get on his bike. Applejack quickly hopped on and held onto Inferno by wrapping her arms around his waist. Right away, the demon students jumped out of the bushes behind them.

"Oop, PUNCH IT!" Israel shouted as he floored it on the gas. Inferno followed suit and the demon students tried following them, but their getaway vehicles left them in the dust. It seemed like they were going to make a clean getaway until…

"Uh-oh, DUCK!" Inferno shouted before doing so to avoid hitting a branch. Sadly, AJ didn't duck in time and was struck in the head.

"AH!!!" she exclaimed. She put one hand on her head before turning to Israel in frustration, showing her demonic red eyes. The goofball gasped before the possessed AJ adjusted her face to look not-so possessed anymore. She gave a nervous giggle before the two soon arrived at the demon entrance they found last night.

They parked their quad bikes in the center just outside the demon entrance and Inferno hops off, feeling ecstatic about their escape.

"Woohoo!!! That was so much fun, babe!" Applejack proclaimed, hugging Inferno.

“Well, that’s me and Israel’s style. We outrun danger while looking cool doing it.” Inferno replied.

"HEY!!! GET OFF MY BUDDY!!!" Israel shouted, pulling AJ off Inferno and getting in front of her, using himself as a human shield, glaring daggers at her.

“WHOA! ISRAEL! What are you doing?! She’s okay, she’s not like the others.” Inferno tried to calm his friend down, surprised by his strange behavior all of a sudden.

"Inferno, this isn't the real Applejack! I saw her eyes change when she hit that branch!" Israel warned, not budging.

“What are you talking about?! I didn’t see anything! I think all that adrenaline from the escape must've caused you to hallucinate.” Inferno suggested.

"He's right, partner. How's 'bout ya sink yer teeth into a nice lil' snack here," the fake AJ then reached into her shirt and pulled out an apple, offering it to Israel, but he persisted and grabbed her tightly by the wrist, making her drop the apple.

"You think I'm gonna fall for that? You might have Inferno fooled, BUT I KNOW WHAT I SAW, YOU IMPOSTER!" he yelled.

Seeing his own pal hurting AJ was the last straw as Inferno jumped into the fray and wrestled Israel’s arm to let go of AJ’s. And once he got Israel to let go, Inferno calmly, but forcefully, pushed Israel back away a bit.

“ISRAEL, WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM!!” Inferno shouted at his best friend in rage.

"MY PROBLEM?! WHY ARE YOU SO BLIND TO NOT SEE THROUGH HER FACADE?!" Israel shouted back in frustration.

“YOU’RE BEING OVERDRAMATIC RIGHT NOW! SO STOP IT WITH THE ACCUSATIONS!” Inferno responded with his own frustrations.

"I'M OVERDRAMATIC?! ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS?! UN-FUCKING-BELIEVABLE!!! Fine! Fall for her tricks! See if I care! At least when she takes you away I can shove it all right in your face and say "I told you so!" Some fucking friend you are!" Israel then went over and kicked the quad bike he rode.

“SOME FRIEND I AM!? YOU KIDDING ME!?” Inferno argued

"NO, I'M NOT!!! YOU'D RATHER LET YOUR FUCKING DICK DO THE TALKING SINCE YOU'RE ALWAYS SURROUNDED BY THE LADIES!" Israel shouted, spitting out venomously.

“WHAT!? THAT’S WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT!?!? YOU’RE STILL JEALOUS OF ME FROM BACK IN CANTERLOT HIGH?!?! ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS!!! I THOUGHT YOU OF ALL PEOPLE WOULD KNOW ME BETTER THAN THAT?!?!? BUT TURNS OUT YOU ALWAYS THINK LESS OF ME!!!” Inferno shouted with relentless fury.

"EASY FOR YOU TO SAY, BEING MR. POPULAR WHILE I'M JUST THE COMIC RELIEF! YOU MIGHT AS WELL JUST BE USING ME FOR ALL I CARE!" . . .That was it… Neither of these guys could take it anymore and in a fit of blind rage, Inferno tackled Israel to the ground.

The two wrestled and bashed at each other, with no words left for them to say, with only their basic instincts telling them to: rip each other apart.

While they fought, the fake AJ watched with a small grin, which she kept hidden with her stetson hat, but kept her half-lidded eyes out, enjoying this little fiasco.

The two would keep fighting, landing blow after blow, slamming each other to the ground over and over. Eventually, the two fought their way just under the demon entrance, both boys were bruised up and bleeding from the mouth, panting heavily.

Inferno and Israel glared at each other with exhausted anger.

"As soon as I kick your fucking ass… I'm solving this case… ON MY OWN!" Israel said, his voice slightly breaking while holding back a tear.

“You know… I agree… in fact… it would be better… IF I NEVER WAS YOUR FRIEND TO BEGIN WITH!!!” Inferno shouted in blind rage as he shoves Israel back a couple of feet.

In his blind rage, Israel goes to counter with a right hook, but suddenly… a trapdoor opens up under Israel's feet. His eyes widen as he falls right in.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!!!" he screamed, plunging deep down.

A millisecond after this happened, all of Inferno’s rage and exhaustion completely went away as adrenaline and panic filled his mind after seeing Israel fell down a trapdoor. He quickly got down on his hands and knees next to the trapdoor, looking down into the black darkness, looking for his best friend.

“ISRAEL!!!” He shouted out to him, worried and frightened by what had just happened. And in that moment, he thinks back to his last words he had said to Israel, and immediately, Inferno felt completely regretful. “No… no no no no no no no! That’s what I meant! THAT’S NOT WHAT I MEANT!?!?! ISRAEL!!!!!” He shouted out once again for his friend.

In his panic state, Inferno looks up away from the hole and searches for anything he could use to climb down into the hole and find his pal.

Soon his gaze turns towards AJ, and his eyes land on her trusty lasso that she keeps hilted onto her hips. Without hesitation, or even asking her, Inferno got up and walked over to AJ, ripping her lasso off her belt, surprising her greatly, and rushed over to the quad bikes and he rolled it close to the hole in the ground. Once he has it parked next to the hole, Inferno then ties the lasso onto the quad bike, he pulls on it to make sure it's secure, and then he proceeds to tie it around his waist.

“I gotta get down there! I gotta help him!” He said to himself as he tightly secured the rope around his waist.

"Hold on, there, Sugarcube. It's way too dangerous fer ya to jump down that there rabbit hole all on yer own," fake AJ pointed out.

Inferno looks towards AJ with a remorseful and determined look on his face.

“I don’t care, Applejack.” He simply said. “We promised to each other that we'd always have each other’s backs. And that we would always be pals to the end,” he said with a somber tone, knowing that he had broken that promise. “And I’m not gonna let him down… Because friends DON’T QUIT!” he shouted with determination as Inferno jumped down into the hole.

"Well now…" fake AJ said in her normal voice. "This could complicate things a lil' bit," her voice then changed into a deep, distorted voice.

Conflicting Emotional Trust Issues

A strange twist of fate can really turn the tide as a terrible fight between two best friends led to one of them being swallowed up in a trapdoor. Poor Yabuki had tried to warn his pal, Inferno, about the fake AJ, but was unsuccessful. The things they said to each other, the pain, the resentment… the guilt. Now, it was up to Inferno to find his best friend, along with the girls in order to set things right.

Right now, Inferno was secured to AJ's rope, which he secured to one of the quad bikes above the trap door. And without hesitation, he lept into the darkness to rescue his best friend. The young man hollered with determination and fell into the dark cavern to which the trapdoor had led into. And in mere seconds, Inferno abruptly landed onto the floor of the cavern with a hard thud; luckily the cavern floor was completely covered in sand, so he had something soft break his fall. As he laid there groaning in pain, he watched AJ’s rope continue to fall on top of him until it had stopped and hung above him from the ATV he had tied it to on the surface.

“Uuuuuuuuuugh… probably should’ve checked the length of the rope.” Inferno said to himself. Getting up and dusting off the sand, he checked his surroundings to see where he was. It looked like he was in some kind of underground tunnel.

With great caution and determination, Inferno slowly stepped into the dark tunnels. He tries hard to see in the slight darkness while paying more attention with his ears, since he knew his sight would be useless in this environment.

As he wandered through the underground maze he finds himself in, he quietly called out for Israel, hoping that he was somewhere in this place.

“Israel! Israel! Come on buddy, where are you?” Inferno silently spoke as he continued forward.

Then, at the end of the tunnel, there's light illuminating in the distance. He was relieved, but still remained on his toes, not knowing what awaited him. As he inches himself towards the light at the end of the tunnel, he braces himself for whatever danger is awaiting him.

Upon arriving, he discovers… a secret hideout. The area was big enough for some kind of underground party… or ritual of some kind. And mounted on the wall at the top of the lair… was some kind of shiny mirror, taller than any known man. It had to be at least 10 to 15 feet tall. And Inferno thought his mind was playing tricks on him because he could hear voices coming from the mirror.

“What the…” Was all he could say as he was rendered speechless by what he was seeing. He then strolls closer to the mirror, reaching his hand out to it, while stepping closer with caution. “This is some weird magic… Wait… What’s a magic mirror doing under–”

"Inferno~!"A voice echoed, spooking the young man.

“GAAAAAAAAH!!!!” Inferno yelped in fright as he fell backwards onto his back. He quickly recovers and starts looking around the large cavern, trying to make sense of what he had heard and where it was coming from.

“What the fuck?!” He said to himself as his eyes wandered around the chamber. “Who’s there? Israel? Bro, if that’s you, please come out. If you’re a foe, I recommend you don’t show yourself at all unless you wanna get KO’ed!” He spoke out to whoever it was that spoke to him.

"Inferno~!" the voice echoed again. This time… it was much clearer. It came from the mirror and definitely sounded female. And it sounded way too familiar.

Inferno turned his head towards the mirror and then cautiously approached it. He reached his hand out to the mirror and placed it firmly on it.

From the other side of the mirror, he saw the face of Sunset Shimmer appear. But her face was all silver, kind of like a floating soul. "Inferno~!" she called out once more before watching her soul swim in a vertical clockwise circle with the rest of the souls trapped inside this mirror.

Inferno’s eyes widened with shock and disbelief, as he could not comprehend what he was seeing.

“S-Sunset?” He spoke to his girlfriend, or more specifically, her soul that was trapped in the mirror. He had to find some way to save her. But… how? It's not that he can just reach in and pull her soul out… Can he?

With that thought in mind, Inferno pushes his hand more into the mirror, and to his shock, his hand sinked into the mirror. It gave off a strange feeling, as if he was dipping his hand into water; very cold water. He felt his hand freezing and shivering. But seeing that he was able to reach into the mirror, Inferno ignored the freezing cold his hand endured and he reached his hand towards Sunset.

His sunny sweetheart then grabbed him by the hand, thus giving him the signal to pull her out. And so with one swift pull, he yanked Sunset’s soul out of the mirror. Inferno knelt down to the ground, holding his freezing cold hand while also holding his girlfriend’s soul. "Thanks, babe. I've never been happier to see you." she said.

“Gah!... Y-yeah… ugh!” Inferno responded while trying to shake off the almost frostbite his hand was feeling before he looked at his girlfriend with a warm smile. “I feared I’d never see you ever again. I mean, when I saw you up on the surface, I was joyful. But it turned out not to be you, so I feared the worst.” He spoke.

"I know. Listen, I'll explain everything later. But first, I need you to let go of me so I can return to my body. After that, see if you can get the other girls trapped here before someone finds you and steals your soul and traps it in that mirror." she instructed.

“Ok, I’ll do that. And when you get your body back, try and find Twilight, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash. Israel and I managed to aid their escape, so they’re probably hiding somewhere on the island.” Inferno informs her about the other girls that were not captured.

"I will. And thanks again, babe," she replies.

“I’ll be waiting to hold you in my arms again.” He softly said with a smile before he finally releases Sunset’s soul as she swiftly zooms off to her body.

"I always knew you were a hero, babe!" she yelled out as she flew off.

As Inferno looked on as his girlfriend’s spirit flew away, Inferno’s warm expression turned sorrowful as he looked down to the sandy floor of the cavern chamber.

“Yeah… some hero I was for pushing my best friend away.” He silently said to himself.

Getting back to the task at hand, Inferno turns back towards the mirror, and without hesitation, he gets to work, thrusting half of his arm into the mirror, fishing for the other girls. His lower arm began to grow cold, but it didn’t faze his determination.

As he wriggled his arm in the mirror, fishing into the small pond of thousand swimming souls, he finally felt something grab onto his hand. With that, he pulled his arm out of the mirror, and soon his eyes widened as he saw who he had pulled out.

"Inferno! Hoo-wee, am Ah ever glad to see yer okay. What happened last night? It's all a blur an' Ah can't remember anything! Ya think someone might've spiked mah apple cider or somethin'?" Applejack's soul asked.

“A-Applejack?!” Inferno spoke abruptly in shock and disbelief; not just that he found AJ’s soul in the mirror, but by the revelation that Israel was telling the truth. Which meant… He fought with his best friend over nothing.

"Sugarcube? Ya feelin' alright? Ya look like ya just kicked a gifted horse in the face." Applejack said, confused and concerned.

‘I have.’ Inferno thought to himself before he snapped out of it. “I-its… It's nothing… Look, go and try to find your body, and meet up with the others on top. We’ll talk more later.” Inferno informs her.

"Well… alright, if you say so," AJ shrugs before Inferno lets go of her. Right away, her soul takes off at blinding speeds, disappearing from Inferno's sight.

Once he has released AJ, Inferno then goes back to fishing for Pinkie and Fluttershy, sticking his arm back into the mirror and searching for the other 2 girls. There were some instances where he unintentionally pulled out some random soul from the mirror, only to put them back into it.

Then finally something grabbed onto him like before. He pulls out whoever it was and…

"Wheeeeeeee-hee-hee-hee!!! That was fun! Can we do that again?" Pinkie's soul asked all happy and giddy.

“Even as a ghost head, you’re still Pinkie, Pinkie. Of course.” Inferno spoke with a smug smile while rolling his eyes. Of course Pinkie remained herself even in this situation; at least it took his mind off his sorrowful thoughts. “Well, go find your busty body, Pinkie. And go find the others.”

"Okie dokie lokie," Pinkie's soul replied before being let go. She zooms off, giggling cutely as she goes to find her body.

“Ok, one more to go. I hope you’re in there somewhere, Fluttershy.” Inferno said as he sticks his arm back into the mirror, searching for Fluttershy amongst the souls in it.

A few moments later, a hand softly grabs onto him.

“There you are.” Inferno proclaimed as he pulled his arm back and, in-turn, pulled Fluttershy’s soul out from the mirror prison. “EUREKA!!!” He cheered.

"Inferno! Thank you. I wasn't sure if the monsters had gotten all of us. Thank heavens you're still here. Where are the others?" Fluttershy's soul asked.

“The rest of the girls are ok, a few of them are hiding somewhere on the island, the rest are currently looking for their bodies.” Inferno informs her.

“But what about Israel? Is he ok?” Fluttershy asked.

Her question brought back the guilt-ridden thoughts in Inferno’s mind, and his warm expression turned sorrowful. Seeing his change of facial expression, Fluttershy could tell something was wrong.

“Inferno… Is Israel alright?” She asked him again.

“I… I don’t know. He fell down here a while ago, and I have been trying to find him before I found this mirror and you all.” Inferno responded.

“But if he’s down here, why isn’t he with you?!” Fluttershy asked with concern.

Inferno’s guilt only rose when she asked that, and he had no choice but to answer.

“We… Israel and I… We got into an argument.” He said, which caused Fluttershy to gasp. “It got outta hand and we had a big fight. He said some things, I said some things. And before I knew it, a trapdoor opened below him and he fell through. I came down here, trying to find him, but I can’t find him anywhere!” Inferno explained everything to Fluttershy; with his guilt not going away as he explained it.

"You both fought? Oh no! Please let me know if he's okay when you find him." Fluttershy's soul said, pleading with her big eyes staring directly into his.

“I will, I promise.” Inferno stated. “Now go and find your body, and go look for the others. I’m gonna stay down here and try to locate Israel.”

"O-Okay…" Flutter-soul stuttered before she's let go. She zooms off with a cute yelp and a squeal by how fast she was going.

After having saved the rest of the girls from the mirror, Inferno then focuses back on his previous task; and that was to locate Israel.

“Hang on, Israel. I’ll find you and get you outta here. Just please don't be gone!" Inferno pleaded for his friend’s safety. “I just hope the girls will find their bodies and regroup on the surface,” he said.

But before he could leave the chamber, something had caught his eye. On top of a pillar just a few feet behind the mirror, was a large jewel. But it wasn’t just any jewel, it was the same jewel he, Israel, and the girls found in the abandoned Unity Island Tower. He then approached the jewel and observed it.

And while he did, a puzzling question sparked in his mind.

‘How did this get down here? I remember last seeing it at the Unity Island hotel, how is it here underground?’ Inferno thought to himself. He shook his head, not bothering with the details and just grabbed it, bringing it with him.

Meanwhile, in another part of the island, the fake Sunset and Pinkie Pie were both patrolling one of the attractions when suddenly…

"WHEE-HEEEEEEEEE!!!" Pinkie's soul exclaimed, zooming towards her body.

"INCOMING!!!" Sunset's soul shouted. Both girls looked and weren't able to react in time as both souls entered their respectful bodies so fast, they were thrown back and fell. Both ladies couldn't get up as something bad felt like it was crawling out of their throat.

Suddenly, a red light emitted from their mouths and two demons emerged from their bodies, screeching in anger. The two monsters looked at the girls as they got up and stared into the demons all wide-eyed. But… before the demons could touch them, their slithering, snake-like bodies began breaking apart and light was emitting from the cracks of their bodies.

They realized too late they were in the sun and screeched in agony before exploding in a brilliant ray of light, startling the party girl and sunny babe.

"Pinkie… did we just… see two demons explode?" Sunset asked.

"Eeeeeyup," Pinkie said in surprise. "And I didn't even bring any popcorn," she pouted, puffing her cute pink cheeks.

Sunset turns to look at Pinkie in disbelief, which is short lived as she turns her head to look at her whole body, while also feeling it and touching it before she lays back down on her back. and let out a sigh of relief.

“Whatever, I’m glad we got our bodies back.” She proclaimed.

"Yeah… but it sure was fun zooming and flying around in spirit." Pinkie said.

“Ok, playtimes over, Pinkie. We gotta find the other girls and regroup back on the beach before the other possessed find them.” Sunset started as she quickly got back onto her feet, while tearing off her tie and slightly unbuttoning her shirt since she was quickly starting to sweat a bit from the tropical heat. “Sweet Celestia! How do those demons wear these during this heat?!” She exclaimed.

"Maybe they're naturally cold-blooded." Pinkie said before pulling off her entire work outfit, leaving only her cute bikini on.

Sunset stares at her with disbelief yet again. “Did you just tear off your clothing and just so happened to wear a bikini underneath?” She asked, pretty much not trying to question Pinkie being… Well, Pinkie.

"Yup-yup." Pinkie said with a squee. "Speaking of which…" the party girl then grabbed hold of Sunset's clothes and pulled them off, then replaced them with her two-piece black bikini with her cutie mark on it. "How do you feel now, Sunset?"

Sunset’s cheeks blushes completely red after seeing Pinkie having stripped her from her college clothing. And also is shocked that Pinkie had changed her into her beachwear in a split second.

“Uh… Uh…” Sunset couldn’t say anything as she was too flustered.

“Well, now that’s out of the way! Let's go find our friends!” Pinkie cheerfully proclaimed as she grabbed Sunset’s wrist and dragged her with her to search for their friends.

Meanwhile, inside the hotel, the fake AJ, changed from her disguise from earlier and into the same college clothing as all the others, was with the other possessed college students, discussing an insidious plot.

"The time is almost upon us. Prepare yerselves fer the ceremony this afternoon," the fake Applejack ordered. Afterwards, everyone separated and the fake AJ walked herself outside of the motel and planned to find Inferno.

That was until…

“Ah’m comin’ fer ya, ya varmint!!!!” Applejack’s soul shouted with anger and determination as she zoomed towards her body. The faker turns and is tackled by AJ's soul, getting sent flying through the air and landing on her side.

Just like what happened with Pinkie and Sunset, she was paralyzed and felt something exit out of her mouth. Eventually, she regained control of herself as the demon possessing her was now on the outside. It turned towards AJ, who's getting up and notices the demon.

"Y'all done made a big mistake messin' with this gal," AJ said, cracking her knuckles. But before she could get ready to rumble, the demon's body began cracking open and light shone through the cracks until the demon screeched in pain as the sun's rays cooked it well and made it explode in a ray of light.

The farm gal stood there shocked by what the heck she just saw.

“Well… guess that’s taken care of.” AJ commented. Just then, the tropical heat started beating down on her like a ton of bricks. "Hoo-wee, now to lose these stuffy rags," she said, wiping away some of her sweat. She removes her prepped up college outfit and is now back in her American flag two-piece bikini. Guess the demon liked it so much that it kept it underneath all those layers of clothing.

Looking over her body after discarding all those useless rags, AJ can’t help but say: “Damn tootin’, Ah’ truly look like the American Dream.” She commented to herself, while turning her head around to check out her ‘apples’.

While AJ was admiring her big apples, the fake Fluttershy was hanging out by the beach, reading a book, still decked out in a stuffy college outfit. Suddenly Fluttershy's soul approaches her from behind and enters her body. The faker felt like something smacked her upside the head and stood up in frustration.

"Who did that?! WHO'S…" but before she could blow a gasket, she feels herself fall over, feeling something trying to exit her body.

Lo and behold the demon exits through her mouth and just like the other demons, it meets its fate under the harsh sun and explodes. Fluttershy pants heavily from that horrible experience.

It took her a while to calm down and her heartbeat slowed down til it was back to its normal beat. And once she settled down, Fluttershy soon spots a couple of the possessed students patrolling the beach. With quick thinking, she quickly grabs the book that her possessed self was reading and pretends to read it; trying to blend in as one of the possessed students.

She kept up the facade until the demon students passed by her, not even acknowledging her, as she was acting just like them. Once they were out of view, Fluttershy let out a sigh of relief as she fell back onto the beach, glad that she had avoided being re-captured.

However, what Fluttershy didn’t realize was that she was further close to the water after having reclaimed her body.

Which meant… SPLASH!!! A small tidal wave splashed down onto the beach, causing Fluttershy’s whole body and clothing to be completely soaked. She got onto her feet as she looked over her soaking wet clothing.

"Oh… why did I have to take cover so close to the ocean?" she asked, whining before struggling to remove heer stuffy college outfit.

All that she was left with as clothing was a purple bikini top and bottom, the timid girl was blushing completely red as she felt so exposed. But it was better than being completely naked, and it was more suitable for the beach. Because the tropical heat was unbearable earlier, she had to keep her cool when those demon students came by, and not risk tearing off all her clothing in a desperate attempt to cool off.

"Ahh… now that feels better," Fluttershy sighed in content.

Now that she had reclaimed her body, and also shed off the unnecessary college clothing, now all that is left is for her to find the girls and hope that Inferno is able to find her boyfriend, safe and sound.

Speaking of, just thinking back to what Inferno told her about he and Israel having a fight; for as long as she knew the two, they have been the best of friends. The thought of them having an argument and their friendship broken would’ve brought her to tears.

"Oh… please be alright, Izzy. Wherever you are." Fluttershy said to herself.

Meanwhile, back at Unity Tower, a pair of guards entered the room where their Daimao Jade was first brought. Only this time, instead of the jade, they put in the center… an unconscious Israel Yabuki. Upon landing on the hard ground, he grunted and was now wide awake.

"OW!" Israel shouted.

“Oh sorry about that, young man.” A voice spoke to him. “Sometimes my employees don’t know when to be gentle. It was fortunate that they had found you and brought you here for your own safety.” the voice added.

"If you can call falling through a trapdoor a safety hazard, then yeah… I suppose." Israel said, rubbing his head to soothe the pain.

“Well don’t worry, Israel Yabuki. You’re quite safe here. Honestly, it's the safest place anywhere on the island. Especially since all of the guests have been under some dark influence.” The voice exclaimed to Israel with a sincere tone of voice.

Israel soon was able to sit up straight as he rubbed his eyes to clear his vision. And once his vision came to, the young man was able to see the person behind the voice.

And it was none other than Filthy Rich. "Mr. Rich! I haven't seen you since those demons came slithering onto the island! You won't believe what's been going on! They've taken a lot of the college kids here and turned them into these… these… corporate perfectionists. It's like, all they care about is business! It wasn't until I realized… the demons had possessed them. Including…"

Filthy held his hand up before Israel rambled on. "I know… I know… they got to nearly all of your friends, too," he finished.

"Yeah… and one of my friends was possessed, but… but… that jackass, Inferno… He didn't even believe me! That son of a…" Yabuki then punched the steel walls that imprisoned him.

"Now, now, let's not get riled up. Listen, I've got some things to take care of first. How about later, after I'm done, I'll have my guards escort you into my office. Sound good?" he asked.

"Uh… s-sure, I suppose. But… why help me specifically?" Yabuki asked.

"Let's just say… you're a special case," Filthy said before leaving the area. "Oh, and guards… make sure he's well-fed and has plenty of water to drink." he said on his way out.

"Right," the two guards then closed the door while Israel sat in the center of his prison, contemplating all that's happened to him so far. Most of his friends are demonized, his ties with Inferno are severing, what's there for Yabuki to do now… except to just sit there… hair obscuring his face as tears form in his eyes from his world crumbling around him.

Meanwhile, back with Rainbow, Twilight and Rarity, who stopped to rest after having been running through the jungle for an hour. Fortunately, they were further away from any demon-possessed college students in the area, thanks to the brave actions of Inferno and Israel for leading them away.

"I think we lost them," Twilight said between breaths.

"Heavens… this is NOT how I saw my vacation playing out." Rarity panted heavily.

“Honestly, Rarity, I wouldn’t count this as a vacation at all.” Rainbow exclaimed while also catching her breath, and as she was resting, a lingering concern came to consciousness. “Do you think Israel and Inferno would be alright? They’ve been gone for a long while.” she asked the girls.

"Oh, don't worry. Those two are resourceful when it comes to getting out of sticky situations. They've done it before in the past." Twilight assured.

"Perhaps, after we've recovered more, we should look for our other friends. Perhaps we can help them in some way," Rarity added.

“Oh yeah, let's go find our friends, who are currently possessed by demons; while we’re also running from an ever-growing horde of demon-possessed college students. Yeah, that sounds smart.” Rainbow sarcastically commented.

"Uh… well, then… perhaps we should look for Inferno and Israel then?" Rarity suggested.

“Now that sounds like a plan.” Rainbow agreed.

“Well I guess if we are gonna go with that plan, I suggest we get out of the jungle and head for the beach; start from there. If we’re lucky, all the demons would be busy scouring the jungle for anyone else.” Twilight stated.

"Agreed." Rarity and Rainbow said in unison.

After forming their plan, the girls quickly navigate themselves out of the jungle, which took a while considering how big it was. You would think they could at least find their way back to the hotel at least, but with the trees blocking their view of the sky, they can barely see anything.

Luckily within half an hour, they made it out of the jungle safe, then eventually bump into Fluttershy of all people.

"T-Twilight! Rainbow! Rarity!" Fluttershy exclaimed softly.

The three girls were hesitant to approach the animal lover, for they were questioning whether or not Fluttershy was possessed and was tricking them. Of course, Fluttershy was no longer wearing those college uniforms like the other possessed students, and was wearing only a bikini top and bottoms. But they still kept caution on whether they should trust her.

Fluttershy could see the hesitant expressions on her friends' faces and before she could take another step towards them, Rainbow held her arm up towards her, which gestured to Fluttershy to halt in place.

“Hold on! If you’re really Fluttershy, then tell us this,” Rainbow stated with caution. “What is Fluttershy’s favorite lullaby that she would alway sing when she was a child?” She asked the timid girl.

"O-Oh… okay…" Fluttershy then clears her throat and… she sings the song. Hearing her soothing voice while singing that lullaby… there can be no doubt this was the real Fluttershy.

Rainbow didn’t hesitate to run up to Fluttershy and embrace her in a warm and tight hug, knowing now that her best friend was freed from demonic possession.

"It really IS you!" Rainbow shouts excitedly.

'Heheh… yay," Fluttershy utters. But then, she pulls away from the hug to tell the others some shocking news. "Listen, girls. I'm not sure if you know this, but… I just heard that… that… Inferno and Israel got into a fight earlier."

The other girls fell silent upon hearing the news, then all at once, they all screamed loudly: “WHAT!?!?!?”

"It's true. Inferno told me so himself," Fluttershy confirmed.

"That's… That's just crazy! Those guys have ALWAYS gotten along so well, even when they're joking and being pains in the asses for fun. How could they fight?" Rainbow asked.

"I agree, it just doesn't make sense. Fluttershy, where is Inferno right now?" Twilight asked.

“He’s… He’s… I don’t know, he’s in some cave somewhere on the island, looking for Israel.” Fluttershy replied.

“We have to go find him and Israel!” Rarity exclaimed.

“I agree with you, Rarity. But first, we have to find the others. If Fluttershy is freed from the demons’ possessions, then there’s a good chance the others have as well.” Twilight stated.

“Oh they are. Inferno freed us a while ago. So they all should have returned to their original bodies by now.” Fluttershy added.

“What do you mean by returning to their bodies, darling?” Rarity asked in confusion.

“I’ll explain everything later, right now we need to find our friends.” Fluttershy responded.

“Well what are we waiting for?! Let's get going!” Rainbow proclaimed.

Now reunited with their timid butterfly friend, the 4 girls venture off throughout the island in search of the other girls. Hopefully, they can square things out between Inferno and Israel when they find them..

Meanwhile, with Sunset and Pinkie. After the two had regained their bodies, they soon scoured the resort, looking for the others. Of course, with them discarding their college uniforms and wearing bikini wear, they had to keep out of sight from any patrolling possessed students in the area.

"I don't EVER want to have to experience something like that ever again. How can these people handle these stuffy suits under possession?" Sunset asked.

"Hmm… I dunno… maybe they have built-in AC powers to keep from getting heatstroke." Pinkie shrugged before poofing her hair back to its original state.

Sunset looks at her in disbelief. “... What?” she asked in confusion.

But before Sunset could say more, she was soon forced to the ground as something or someone ran into her, and the two fell to the ground with a small thud. She lets out a groan in pain as she slowly opens her eyes to see who had crashed into her.

And soon she’s met with a familiar southern voice and a familiar face.

"Dog gone… Ah need to watch where Ah'm goin'! What in tarnation did Ah… Sunset?! Pinkie?!" asked the Southern Belle.

"APPLEJACK!!!" Pinkie exclaimed before bolting towards her and hugging her by the booty. "I knew you would come back!"

Applejack blushed red as she felt Pinkie hugging at her posterior. Sunset was also blushing a bit when Applejack had shifted her body a bit to look back at Pinkie, and in doing so, the apple girl’s bosom was pressed up against Sunset’s face.

“It's good to see ya too, Pinkie. But get yer hands off my hindquarters!” Applejack exclaimed, while blushing redder.

"Umm… AJ… it's nice to see you too, but uh… could you move a little, your boobs are kinda in my face," Sunset muffled.

"Whoops… sorry there, sugarcube." AJ said, giving Sunset room to breathe. Then she helps Sunset back onto her feet. "Well, at least we know one thing 'bout this whole mess. Them demons that took our bodies, needed us to survive in sunlight. Kinda like a human suit."

"Yeah we figured that too, but… how did they even get here in the first place? Monsters like them don't just appear out of random. And knowing that they're demons… somebody must've summoned them here." Sunset pieced together.

“But who in tarnation would do somethin' like that?! Them there demon varmints just bring nothin’ but trouble.” AJ remarked.

"Speaking of trouble, we'd better find and regroup with the other girls or more of those suit-y, snooty party poopers'll come after us," Pinkie added.

“Sounds like a good plan, Pinkie. And once we regroup with the others, we’ll go look for Inferno and Israel.” Sunset proclaimed.

“Well, last Ah’ saw Inferno, he was in a cavern when he freed me from that… mirror. But Ah’ didn’t see Israel with him.” AJ informed Sunset.

“Oh no! You guys don’t think Izzy is in danger, do you?!” Pinkie asked in concern for her precious boyfriend.

“We don’t know, Pinkie. We’ll only know when we ask Inferno once we meet up with him along with the others.” Sunset stated.

"If we can find them. Come on, we're headin' off to the beach!" AJ said.

The 3 busty beauties quickly made haste for their destination, dashing off in search of their other missing friends. Little did they know, the others are searching for them as well. But the question still remains… What's become of Inferno?

After having freed the girls from a magic mirror and stealing the Daimao Jade from its place of rest, Inferno continued on scouring the deep underground caverns, searching for Israel. But to his miserable luck, he can’t find Israel anywhere.

And the worst part, it felt like he was going in circles throughout the maze-like caverns. Soon he discovered that… he was lost.

“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!!!! FUCK ALL OF THIS!!!” He screamed in anger after minutes of no luck finding his best friend and now getting himself lost in a cave. Just then, light shone from one of the tunnels. “Well… hallelujah.” he said, dumbfounded.

With no luck finding Israel in the caves and nowhere to go, he followed the light, hoping it would lead him somewhere he could find Israel. And after several minutes of following the light, he is soon led to the source of the light, which turned out to be a cave opening that led outside and into the jungle

Once he had exited the caverns and into the jungle, Inferno immediately took a deep breath of fresh air from the surface, feeling the warmness of the sunlight hitting his skin, while also blinding him a bit; well he was in a dark cavern for an hour.

“Glad to be outta that hellhole.” Inferno proclaimed. ‘But why can’t I find Israel anywhere down there? I swore he could have been down there for only a few seconds before I followed him. Where could he be?!’ he thought to himself.

Inferno recalls their scuffle and that horrific scream his friend let out as the trap door swallowed him up.

Inferno then facepalms himself as he’s overcome with guilt. ‘How in hell am I gonna patch things up with him?’ He thought. But soon he’s forced to clear those thoughts away as he soon hears the sounds of waves crashing and the smell of saltwater, which only means he was somewhere closeby to the beach.

Knowing that he can’t stay in the jungle for long, or else he would risk getting caught, Inferno then cautiously makes his way towards the beach. Hoping that Israel may have escaped the cavern the same way he did a while ago, and is possibly out on the beach looking for the girls.

He just hopes that he finds his best friend there and that there was a chance their friendship could be salvaged.

After several minutes of walking through the jungle, Inferno finally stumbles onto the sandy beach. He observes the area, seeing if there were any demon students nearby. And lucky for him, there weren’t any.

Miraculously, his luck finally changed as he heard a group of familiar female voices.

"INFERNO!" they called out.

Inferno turns and, to his surprise, he sees all 7 of the girls running towards him, and all wearing beach bikinis. The young man wasn’t given any time to react as he was soon tackled and piled on by all the girls on the sandy beach. Crushed underneath the voluptuous bodies of the Rainbooms.

"Thank heavens, you're alright!" Rarity said.

"We were worried sick about you!" Sunset added.

"Darn tootin' we did! How'd ya escape the caverns?" Applejack asked.

“Did you find Israel?!” Fluttershy asked out of concern.

“Is Izzy okay?!” Pinkie added.

“Is he hurt?!” Rainbow asked as well.

“Why did you two fight about?” Twilight said.

Inferno was struggling to breath and move, especially since he has 7 girls all on top of him and crushing his body.

“... Uuuuuuuurk! G-Girls! I… I… can’t… breathe!... Uuuuuuurk!” Inferno gasped for air and groaned in pain.

The girls heard his plea for air and immediately gave him some room. "Sorry," they said in unison. Inferno immediately started gasping every amount of air he could get.

After he's fully recovered, it was time to find out the truth. "Inferno… please, tell us. Is it really true that you and Israel… had a fight?" Twilight asked.

Wincing at her question, Inferno then took a deep breath and… "It's true… Every bit of it… is true.” Was all he could say, as his heart was heavy with regret. Too ashamed to speak anymore.

"But… I don't understand, what caused you two to fight?" Sunset asked.

Inferno remained speechless for a while, too ashamed with himself. Judging by his ashamed expression, she decides to look into the matter herself and Sunset uses her geode to look into his memories. Everything that led up to the fight, including what happened to Israel, she could see it all like she was there herself.

Once she found out, she backed away. "No way!" Sunset said in shock.

"What, what happened? What'd you see?" Rainbow asked.

"Is Izzy okay?" Fluttershy asked.

"Girls… you're not gonna like this, but…" Sunset paused before explaining all the details she saw within her boyfriend's memories. But she spared the specific details on what each of the boys said to each other up until the end. And once they found out… all their jaws hit the ground.

"How… How could you?" Fluttershy asked, quivering in sadness and anger.

Inferno didn’t utter a word, he didn’t even dare to look at the girls, for he knew that they were ashamed of him, not more so than he is ashamed of himself.

Rainbow tried to charge at Inferno and strangle him, but was stopped and held in place by Applejack.

“YOU! HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO HIM!” Rainbow scolded at the young man.

"Apples from mah bosom? Inferno, everyone knows Ah’ don't store apples in mah boobs. Ah’ keep 'em stored under mah hat! Still, fer Israel to right on grip mah wrist like that, he sure got a lotta guts," Applejack said, checking her wrist.

"I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU FOR HURTING HIM!!!" Pinkie yelled with steam coming out of her ears and nose.

"Girls, stop! Look, I get it! Inferno messed up and he was wrong for what he did, but that's also why he's been trying to look for Israel, so he could apologize to him. I didn't mention this, but when I looked into his memories, Israel had said some things that really got to Inferno, too. Like… how he felt like an outcast and no one would take him seriously because he's always acting like a goof. And… every time he sees Inferno with a crowd of people… it makes him feel even more insecure about himself." Sunset explained.

“I don’t really see how that’s helping his case!” Rainbow exclaimed while pointing at Inferno in accusation.

"He probably won't admit it, but… back in high school Israel probably felt like his own best friend was becoming… shallow. This may sound messed up, but… from his perspective, Israel thinks they see a handsome, fit, young man in Inferno and wanna always be around him, but when they see him… he feels like a comic relief. He must've gotten so upset recently that when Inferno didn't believe him, Israel retaliated by pushing his insecurities onto him, blaming him for making him feel left out." Sunset continued explaining.

Even though Sunset’s words were intended to calm the situation; however, it only further grows Inferno’s guilt. Not wanting to hear anymore of this, Inferno gets up from the beach and soon he walks further away from the girls as they listen to Sunset. The girls didn’t notice Inferno had left them until Fluttershy looks back at where he originally was, and sees he was gone.

“Uh… girls… Inferno’s gone.” Fluttershy informs them.

“What?!” They all shouted in response.

The girls all looked around to find him until Twilight pointed out his footprints in the sand. They followed the trail to the other side of the beach, until they soon found the young man.

Sitting on a lonely boulder on the beach, Inferno Blaze stared out at the ocean in silence and isolated from the others.

Then, his isolation is interrupted as the girls quietly approach him.

"Babe, listen. We can still fix this!" Sunset said.

Inferno didn’t respond, and still kept his focus on the ocean. He paid the girls no heed as he was drowning in his guilt.

"Look, sugarcube. We all make mistakes. We're no exception, especially when… Well… that one incident durin' the holidays back in highschool. But there's always time to make things right and this is one o' those times!" Applejack said.

Even with AJ’s words, Infernos still remained silent, not daring to look back at the girls.

"Come on, sugarcube, ya can't just mope around in silence all day," AJ added.

“She’s right, darling. You can’t make amends with Israel if you’re sitting here…” Rarity also tries to speak, but is soon cut off by Inferno.

“WHAT DIFFERENCE WOULD THAT MAKE!!!” He shouted with an aggressive tone of voice, while still keeping his eyes towards the sea. His aggressive reply shook the girls and caught them off guard. Then after his response, Inferno finally starts talking. “You heard what Sunset said. Israel has always been insecure of me, always jealous of me, and always sees me as a source of his problems! And now after years of friendship, I turned my back on him and it further grew his insecurity! I told him straight to his face that I wish we were never friends to begin with! So even if we do find him! How in hell am I supposed to make up for years of making his life miserable and not ever knowing about it until right FUCKING NOW!!!” Inferno aggressively voiced all his thoughts as he took a pebble on the boulder and chucked it at the ocean in anger and guilt.

Tears threatened to leave Inferno’s eyes, and soon the dam broke as the young man completely broke.

"Because if we don't find him and try to make amends now, he could be lost to us by those monsters forever. So, we have to put in the extra effort and find him now. You two are best buds and I know he wouldn't wanna hold a grudge against you forever." Sunset said. "He's probably even regretting all he said to you right now."

Even after that statement, Inferno still did not respond and did not want to cooperate. This further slightly irritated the girls a bit; all except Fluttershy.

She knew everything they kept saying… they were not words Inferno wanted or needed to hear. Being closer to Israel back then, she knows slightly more of the strong bond of friendship and brotherhood that he and Inferno had. Soon she knows she has to step in, but she needs the girls to back off.

Clearing her throat, she turned to the girls and said: “Girls… Would you mind stepping away for a little bit. I need to talk to Inferno… Alone.” She stated, and while giving a small percent of her Stare to convince them.

“But…” Sunset wanted to protest cause they had bigger problems to deal with.

But Fluttershy wasn’t having it. “FUCK OFF!” She screamed while bestowing the full power of her Stare on her friends. Which did enough wonders to convince them.

So they did as Fluttershy instructed and stepped about a few yards away from the two. Now that they had privacy, Fluttershy calmly and quietly sat right next to the broken Inferno on the boulder, while also looking out into the sea like he did.

“Inferno…” She was the first to speak, wanting to get Inferno to voice his thoughts and emotions externally.

And he starts doing so.

“I… I’m sorry for what I did, Fluttershy. I’m… very sorry.” He said with a broken and sorrowful tone of voice.

Fluttershy placed her hand on Inferno’s shoulder in a comforting manner, letting him feel more comfortable to speak his mind.

“You know that you aren’t entirely to blame. You both had a fight. It's normal for friends to fight on occasions where they don’t agree on things or when in tough situations. He didn’t know that you would retaliate if he got aggressive with you and you didn’t know about his insecurities back from Canterlot High…” She said to him before Inferno interrupted her.

“BUT YOU GIRLS DID!” He shouted in sorrow and anger. “You knew about his insecurities for a long time! But I didn’t! He trusted you girls with that information, but not me!” Inferno voiced his deep thoughts and anger. “Back when we fought, he said to me ‘some fucking friend you are’. Yet he never trusted me to know how he always felt and about his insecurities! I trusted him with my secrets! I trusted him with my own life problems! I even trusted him to alway have my back! YET HE DOESN’T TRUST ME TO KNOW WHEN HE’S INSECURE ABOUT ME! HE’S MY BEST FRIEND, FLUTTERSHY!!! MY BEST FRIEND!!!... And yet… He doesn’t let me know… and now… I have to, forever, live… with my mistake.”

And at this moment, Inferno broke down even more. Tears ran down his cheeks and all his emotions that he bottled up a while ago came rushing out.

Fluttershy patted on his back while softly speaking to him. “There, there, let it all out, Inferno.” She spoke to him tenderly.

“I-I never meant for this to happen… I never meant to…” Inferno tearfully cried.

Fluttershy then guided his head down towards her upper chest and held him in a comforting manner. She felt Inferno’s tears dripped down onto her chest, but she paid no mind. She knows that Inferno needs to let it out all.

"I think I understand why he never told you. It's not because he didn't trust you. It's because he didn't trust himself with revealing his own insecurities. He's very subconscious about it and if word got out about why he kept it for so long, Israel felt like people would just call him a petty, selfish man, or think of it as an excuse to use his disability as a crutch to gain attention. And I know he's nothing like that at all. And I'm sure you know he'd never take advantage of others because of it, too. Right?" Fluttershy explained. "So really, he didn't tell you because he didn't trust you. He was just afraid of losing his only best friend if you found out the truth." she added.

Inferno sniffed for a bit and was silent for a moment, until finally he let out his most deepest thoughts.

“If only he knew…” He said. And after a brief pause, he continued. “That he was my only true friend that I ever had… and how hard it was for me to have one like that.” He stated.

Fluttershy looked at Inferno with a curious expression, now listening closely to what Inferno had to say.

“Back in CHS, before I met you girls and Israel… I never had real friends. Sure everyone wanted to hang out with me and spend all their time in my presence… But they weren’t actually my friends. The only thing that everyone cared about or talked about was my popularity. How rich my family is, how handsome I am, how smart I am, how good I am in football, just all kinds of things they can bring up. But none of them… none of them got to know me better. No one got to know the real me. The me that no one saw. I never had one moment where I could have someone to talk to about what I’m really thinking, what I truly feel… and how much I hated being popular.” Inferno exclaimed.

Fluttershy looked on at the young man, shocked and saddened to hear what Inferno truly felt back then.

“And when my dad and my older brother died… the attention and fame I already received… it got worse. While everyone gave their condolences on the loss… but really it was just pity. And some sought it as an opportunity to get even more closer to me and gain some popularity as well; while I was at my most vulnerable. And I hated it, Fluttershy. I hated it. It got to a point where I… I stopped caring about any of it. I got more aggressive… I got bitter towards everyone. At that point of time… All I wanted… Was to be left alone. Then you all came along… You, Sunset, and the others… You showed me what true friendship was like, and pulled me away from the darkness that I was consumed by. And then… Israel came along. He and I hit it off cause we were both ‘former magic villains that tried to destroy the world and all reality’,” Inferno joked a little at the end, which had Fluttershy giggled a bit too. It was good to see Inferno was slightly getting better. “And before I knew it… I truly believed I had found my best friend. Someone who I can share all my problems with, and hear his as well. Someone I can always count on and have their back when they need it. Back before, I believed he never saw me as ‘Mr. Popular’... So it gave me comfort… that he saw the real me… rather than what others see me as. But I guess I was wrong… we both are.” He concluded.

Fluttershy stares at Inferno with sympathy and sorrow. She and the girls, as well as Israel, never knew Inferno felt this way. If her Izzy had known… maybe he would have told Inferno the truth… and their nasty fight would have been avoided. But that was the past… Now, is the present.

"When we find Israel… you go ahead and explain it to him like you told me. And after that… well, you just leave the rest to me when I set him straight for going off on you and not fully trusting you." Fluttershy assured.

Inferno sniffed a bit as he sat back up, while looking at Fluttershy face to face as he wiped away the remaining tears he had shed; while bearing a slight smile across his face.

“Thanks, Fluttershy… *sniff*... I needed to hear that. Thank you.” Inferno gratefully said as he pulled Fluttershy in a warm embrace.

Fluttershy smiled warmly as she returned his hug as well. “That's what friends are for, Inferno.” she proclaimed.

After finally calming him down and giving him much needed comfort, Inferno would soon be ready to continue the search for his lost friend. However…

BOOM!!!

A little ways away on another part of the beach, the gang saw smoke in the distance.

Fluttershy and Inferno turned their heads around when they heard the explosion and they looked towards the rising smoke cloud.

“What the fuck was that?!” They both said at the same time, causing the two to look back at each other with puzzled looks; mostly Inferno, cause he never expected Fluttershy to curse like that.

"Oopsies," Fluttershy said, followed by a cute giggle and a squee.

“Fluttershy… never change.” Inferno commented while also giving the timid girl a peck on the cheeks just before he got off the boulder, and ran off toward the direction of the smoke. “C’MON! It might lead us to Israel!” He proclaimed loudly.

Fluttershy had a big, noticeable blush across her face from that little peck. But shaking off most of it, she nods and looks to Inferno with a determined look, puffing her cheeks as she follows him and the others to the explosion sight.

What kind of surprises await them? Will they find clues to Israel's whereabouts? Will Inferno and Israel have a chance to make amends? And what caused the explosion? Find out next time on Island Party Pandemic!

Unmasked

After meeting up back with the girls after having freed them from the strange magic mirror in the caverns, Inferno eventually told the girls about the fight he and Israel had before he lost him in the caves. Which led to the girls chewing him out at first before they talked about Israel’s insecurities, which Inferno had no idea about; leaving the young man in a depressed and upset state. Fortunately for him, Fluttershy was able to console him alone and helped him get over his overwhelming guilt. And after Inferno gets his resolve once again, the group later heard an explosion in the distance, which they soon quickly went to investigate.

Hoping that it could lead them to finding Israel.

“C’mon, girls! Hurry up!” Inferno called to the girls as he ran ahead of them.

The girls ran to catch up to him; of course, they had nothing weighing them down due to them all wearing nothing but bikinis and swimsuits. Naturally, their jiggly assets and upper balconies had plenty of room to bounce beautifully and freely as they ran.

“Inferno! We’re running as fast as we can! You need to slow down for us to catch up!” Sunset informs him.

“Speak for yourselves!” Rainbow confidently commented due to her running faster than the others.

“Darling! Do you know how hard it is to run with our ‘accessories’ moving freely?” Rarity exclaimed.

Fluttershy breathed heavily, since this was the fastest she’s ever run before, and the fact that her bosom and posterior was the biggest of the rest. “It's… not fun!” She stated before she started slowing down. “I… need to rest!”

But she doesn’t get the chance to rest when Inferno quickly runs back and picks her up and carries her the rest of the way.

“Oh hell no! No one is gonna get left behind! Besides when we find Israel, you are gonna smother him with hugs and kisses!” Inferno loudly proclaimed out of adrenaline rush.

“Wha-What?!” Fluttershy blushes red when Inferno says that.

As they all ran at the same quick pace, the group soon arrived at the area where the explosion was, causing them to finally slow down to ease their legs and lungs and they quickly approached the blast zone.

But as soon as they get close enough, they find that there's smoke coming from a cabin window and a woman is running out of the cabin, coughing up a storm. That woman was Spoiled Rich.

"And to think the servants made it look so much easier," Spoiled said, fanning the smoke away.

"Goodness! It's Spoiled Rich! I'd better check on her," Rarity said. "Darling, are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere?" she asked, before walking up to the lady.

"Why don't you tell me? I'm covered in soot, my oven exploded because I might've used too much cooking oil and now I have to air out my cabin right at the worst possible time," Spoiled listed, complaining.

“Well glad to see that her bitch side never changed.” Rainbow whispered sarcastically to AJ, who silently nodded in agreement.

"Darling, what do you mean the worst possible time?" Rarity asked.

"Well, if you must know, my husband has gone off the deep end. He's gone rogue with some freaky occult I will have no part of. As much as I think it's all mumbo jumbo… I've seen things that are not meant to be real. And the only way for me to protect myself is to stay locked up in my home away from home." Spoiled explained. "Honestly, this is unlike Filthy."

“Wait a gosh darn minute! Ya knew about that and ya never bothered to warn anyone?!” Applejack exclaimed.

"Don't you get all preachy with me! You think I didn't try to warn anybody? I've tried for a little over a year now to get people to leave the island before it was too late, but did anyone listen? NO! Because all anyone cares about is a week-long getaway at my husband's newest attraction. Now they're all going to be subjected to some sort of weird "ritual" he has planned." Spoiled said.

"A ritual?" Twilight asked in shock.

“What ritual?” Sunset asked with curiosity.

“Does it have to do with… *gulp* the possessed students?” Fluttershy asked in fear.

“Is it some sort of super-secret evil surprise party?” Pinkie asked because… well… she’s Pinkie.

"I doubt it's a party, but all I know is that the ritual… will require some kind of… dare, I say it… human sacrifice." Spoiled said hesitantly.

It's at that moment, Twilight finally understood. "Oh no… that must be what the ancient text describes in the Daimao Jade." she said, pulling out said item. "They use the captured human souls as an energy source. And the leader needs to absorb something called… the purely imperfect soul to complete the ritual."

“And I’m guessing Filthy Rich is the leader in the ritual.” Sunset claimed.

“And the human souls would be the souls of all the captured students on the island!” Rarity commented.

“Wait, but how the heck is Filthy Rich gonna find a ‘purely imperfect soul’? I mean how will he even know which one to choose from among a massive crowd?” Rainbow asked in confusion.

"I… I don't think he has to look far," Twilight said in realization and concern.

Inferno quickly catches on to what Twilight meant, and he too has a concerned and horrified expression on his face.

“Oh no.” He said.

Meanwhile, back with poor Yabuki, his tiny prison soon opens up and it makes him jolt to his feet as he was napping. He looked around, confused and noticed a man standing before him, all dressed up in a black and white business suit.

"Follow me… boy," he said in a deep voice.

"Not like I have a choice." Israel replied. And soon the young man follows the suited man.

Back on the beach, with the others, they finally understand what's happened.

“So the invitations… the mysterious events… It's all just to lure Israel here on the island.” Sunset exclaimed.

"So if Filthy Rich needs Israel Yabuki…" Twilight says.

"Then that would mean Filthy's the one who brought Izzy here!" Fluttershy said in horror.

Back up in Filthy's office, the man himself is signing a few papers until he hears a knock on his door. "Go ahead, enter." Filthy said.

The door opens up and in walks the big man and Israel Yabuki. Filthy looks up and gives Israel a smile.

"Ah, Israel. How are you doing, young man? Come, have a seat, please." he offered.

"Well, okay then." Israel goes to take a seat. The big guy who brought him here then leaves the room and closes the door. Filthy then gestures to one of his servants, carrying a pizza box.

"Care for a slice?" he asked.

"Hmm… maybe one," Israel smirked, trying to be humble… until he takes two slices and gobbles them up like the pizza-holic he is. The servant then lays the box on his lap and he continues eating.

"Hah! I see you have quite the healthy appetite." Filthy said.

Israel nods, trying not to be rude since his mouth is full and his cheeks are stuffed. He's about to dig into another slice when suddenly, he sees a picture of… himself on Filthy's desk.

"Hmm? Hey, why do you have my picture on your desk, Mr. Rich?" Israel asked.

"A very good question. And the reason, my boy, is because… we love you, Israel Yabuki. Unlike that alleged friend of yours, Inferno. He wouldn't believe you about that imposter posing as Applejack, would he?" Filthy asked, sympathizing with him.

"N…No," Israel said, feeling a bit down. Then he feels Filthy pat him on the shoulder.

"Now, now, my boy. Unlike him, I actually believe you. And that's why… I have a very important task for you," Filthy said.

"Is that so? And… what might this task be?" Israel asked, tilting his head in confusion.

"Israel Yabuki… I would like you… to be Unity Island's chosen mascot!" Filthy said, though slightly ominous. but… Israel didn't seem to pick up on it.

"Whoa… a MASCOT?" Israel asked with a growing smile. Filthy simply nodded. If only he knew… what was really awaiting him.

“THAT SON OF A BITCH!!!!!” Inferno screamed out towards the ocean. You can tell he was extremely pissed when knowing that Filthy brought his friend here to be used as a sacrifice.

And while he was venting out, the girls continued to converse about what they had just learned.

"This just ain't right! Why would Filthy wanna sacrifice our friend to them demons? What's he ever done to Filthy?" AJ asked, crossed.

“And to top it off, if he only needed Israel on the island, why did he bring all of us here?” Rainbow added.

"It doesn't matter! We have to go and save Izzy!" Fluttershy said. She's about to take off, but she's stopped by Rarity who grabs her by the arm.

"Darling, wait! We need to strategize our plan of attack! If we try to rescue him unprepared, we'll just wind up being captured again!" Rarity stated.

"Why not just let me handle it? I can get him outta there in less than 10 seconds!" Rainbow gloated with a smirk.

"You wouldn't even know where to look for him! Even with your super speed, you'd just get lost and captured yourself," Twilight pointed out.

"Nuh-uh, I'm too fast for those goons to catch me." Rainbow argued.

"Ugh! I swear, you never change. Always letting your feet do the talking," Rarity sighs in frustration, face-palming herself.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Rainbow asked, offended.

“Well, you were the reason we broke up our band and friendship.” Grumbled Rarity, causing Rainbow to growl out loudly.

“Well, there we go!! I knew that was going to come up again sooner or later!!” said Rainbow, then looked sternly at the others. “I was the one who had the idea to form the band in the first place!! I paired us together because we sounded awesome together!! I even tried my best to hold us together!! Did any of you ever thank me for that, too?!!”

The others didn’t look convinced, with Applejack saying “And boost yer ego more?”

“At least I don’t constantly start fights!!” said Rainbow, “This is the Battle of the Bands, all over again!!”

“Ah don’t constantly start fights!!” said Applejack, “And we also had an important part of the band too!!”

The others voiced their agreements, with Rainbow now looking unconvinced.

“Right.” Said Rainbow, until she pointed at them one by one. “Whining (Rarity gasping), blubbering (Fluttershy flinching), goofing off, (surprising Pinkie Pie), Twilighting (surprising Twilight), hissy fit (surprising Sunset), and staring into space (pointing at Applejack).”

Everyone was shocked by that statement. “We had a good thing, until you all couldn’t handle things.”

“Whining?!” said an aghast and shocked Rarity.

“Well you do keep whining all the time.” Muttered Twilight, which Rarity got fumed.

“At least I don’t constantly guilt myself over what happened at the friendship games!!” shouted Rarity as some of the girls gasped and surprised Twilight, “Not to mention you constantly thinking that your evil self-gave us magic when we had magic in us before you came along!!”
“I didn’t know it was going to happen!!” shouted Twilight.

“And yet you ended up sticking your nose into other people’s business!!” shouted Rainbow.

“ENOUGH!!!”

Everyone looked at Inferno shocked as he also had enough of this.

“Will you listen to yourselves?!!” said Inferno. “You all had two years. Two!! Years!! To work things out and yet you still argue like spoilt brats!! Plus Israel is in danger, and you all argue over that stupid event that happened!!”

He then raised his hands and said “You know what? I’m done. We tried everything to get you guys to get along and back together again, all because you were selfish and ignorant. But I guess you care about your pride more than Israel. So go ahead, leave him to die for all I care. I’ll go save him myself.”

The girls were shocked by what he said.

“You actually think we’d leave Izzy?!” exclaimed Fluttershy.

“How could you think something so…!!” said Pinkie before she was cut off.

“What, cruel and selfish?” said Inferno in sarcasm. “You have the gall to say that to me? If I remember correctly, you seven were the ones who turned your backs on me and Israel, all because you couldn’t let go of that stupid argument.”

“I didn’t...,” said Sunset.

“And yet you didn’t try to stop it and try to reason with them.” Said Inferno, which made her wince. “All of you were more than just a band or a group of friends, you lot were also the Guardians of Friendship. It was your responsibility to help those in need no matter how bad things were, one that you seven never took seriously back then, and from the looks of things, one you don’t know.”

Everyone was surprised by what he said.

“Y’all think this is just a game to us?!” said Applejack.

“Yeah, that’s exactly…what it looks like.” Said Inferno.

He walked over to Rainbow and said “It was also your fault to begin with!! If you hadn’t constantly tried to hog the spotlight like you did back at the Battle of the Bands, we wouldn’t have been in this situation!!”

“I just wanted us to make us awesome!!” said Rainbow.

“You, or your own inflated ego?!” said Inferno.

Rainbow winced at that, with Inferno shaking his head in disbelief.

“Whatever happened to the Rainbow Dash we knew?” asked Inferno, “The one who was loyal to her friends to a fault and would never leave them hanging? The one who would never, and I repeat, never, constantly hog the spotlight. I would’ve thought you learned your lesson after the Battle of the Bands, but clearly you haven’t learned one bit. But you never did, because you’re still selfish, arrogant, and you don’t see that every decision you make could hurt someone in the process. Or did you forget that incident at Spring Break?”

“It wasn’t my fault they didn’t want to be superheroes!!” said Rainbow.

“Heroes or jerks?!” Inferno corrected, making her wince. “And if you weren’t such a jerk, maybe your friends wouldn’t have abandoned you in the process.”

“Oh, and suddenly you’re an expert on feelings and friendship?” said Rainbow
.
“No, but I am an expert in impulsive, egotistical jerks.” Retorted Inferno. “But ask yourself this; do you wanna help folks because it’s the right thing to do? Or the thrill of being a hero? Cause it’s about making a team effort and not taking the credit for yourself!”

Rainbow was about to retort, but then she realized that he was right, and because of her Impulsive actions, she caused her friends to split up, which caused her to look down in guilt.

“Hmph,” said Twilight in a low tone and a smirk, “Serves her right.”

However, Inferno heard her and said “You know, Rainbow’s not the only one who was responsible for the Rainbooms breaking apart.”

Twilight looked at him surprised as he said “You’re just as much to blame!”

“Oh, it’s my fault?!” said Twilight, “None of them appreciated what I did for them!!”

“I did!!” said Inferno, “And so did Israel!! Along with Sunset, Pinkie, Applejack and Fluttershy!! But if you weren’t so stuck up with a silver spoon up your ass, you would’ve noticed that!!”

Twilight feigned in shock over what he said, “Well nobody gave me any credit for what I did for them!!”

“Oh, boo-hoo, poor Twilight Sparkle, nobody noticed or appreciates you.” Said Inferno, before pulling a picture of him and his science partner out, one that he told the Rainbooms about a while back, “This girl doesn’t even have a name or barely said anything, you don’t see her abandoning her friends!!”

He placed the picture away and said “Plus you do kind of owe them!!”

She then gave a sarcastic laugh, “Excuse me, I owe them?!”

He squinted his eyes and said “Remind me again, who was the one who took the girls’ magic and got turned into a monster because she got overcurious and couldn’t keep her nose out of their business?”

Twilight winced at that, with Inferno saying, “Plus the only reason you didn’t want to do this was because you don’t want to be constantly reminded of your past and what you did!!”

He stood near her and said “Plus, being a hero isn't about being appreciated, being famous, to get respect, or to break any female stereotypes. It’s about responsibility, to help people because it’s the right thing to do. More importantly…”

He poked her chest a couple of times and said “A true hero is selfless and is never selfish when being aside those they care about, which you should’ve realized how much being a Rainboom meant to you and the others…to be a family.”

Twilight slowly began to let it sink in, and even though she didn’t want to hear it, it was the truth.

“Do you know why your brother became a police officer?” asked Inferno, surprising Twilight. “He didn’t join because he wanted to be famous or being appreciated, he joined the force because he wanted to help people, and after that it was his responsibility and because it was the right thing to do. And…he and Cadance would be ashamed and disgusted to see how selfish, how pigheaded, and narrow minded his own sister had become!! And what would Flurry Heart say? The moment when she starts school and makes friends, are you going to tell her; that it’s a waste of time and that she would end up becoming an anti-social hermit?”

Twilight looked down and felt something stirring.

"And I may have taken you seriously, but given what I've seen, I was mistaken, because you don't care about anyone else but yourself." said Inferno, "Once a Preppie, always a Preppie."

"What's that supposed to mean?!" said Twilight.

"I think you do." said Inferno, "I remember the poor girl who suffered at Crystal Prep, who wanted friends after the way she was treated like garbage, because everyone there was selfish and treated you like an outcast. But I guess I was wrong. I thought you were different. I mean you were also our friend..."

And then he said the worst, "But turns out you're not better than that fucking selfish bitch, Abacus Cinch!!"

Everyone gasped at what he said, even Twilight was shocked by what he had said. However, Inferno knew better, but in this case, he had to get through to her, to make her see reason.

“Cause let’s look at what happened ever since you left Crystal Prep and went to CHS.” Said Inferno as he talked to her and listed things down for her.

“They know you have been scared to death and traumatized ever since the whole Midnight Sparkle incident. All they did was try to be there for you. When you were at Camp Everfree, you kept being distant, and Sunset chose to help you, because she went through the same thing you did. Only difference was, you only got a slap on the wrist, whilst she had to go through six months of torment, trying to make up for her mistakes.”

Twilight remembered what Sunset went through, and how hard it was for her.

“And when you finally accepted the magic inside of you, you and the girls became something great. And ever since the whole adventure, things were better for you. You and Rainbow loved Daring Do and did all kinds of reading and autograph signs together. And when you were stressed out when you were given a role in the “Bedazzling Boot”, Rainbow, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie helped calm you down through exercise, relaxing and distracting your thoughts. And that time when you nearly panicked when summer vacation would arrive, Rainbow was the one who helped calm you down and took you to the public library. And when Rainbow felt bad about ruining Spring Break for you, she took you to meet your idol at the science convention.”

Twilight then suddenly remembered what her friends did for her since they became friends.

“And it may come as a surprise to you,” said Inferno, “When you guys were going to write that pop quiz test and you helped them study, all of them were grateful for what you did and took you out to lunch to celebrate, and guess what, Rainbow was the one who paid the bill for the whole thing, even your favorite dessert.”

Twilight and the girls widened their eyes in shock as they looked at Rainbow, who looked sheepish as she rubbed the back of her head.

“Whenever you make mistakes, or whenever you have a few accidents, your friends are always by your side. And that one time you got lost, your friends dropped everything to help you. And ever since you came to CHS, they’ve done nothing but try to be your friend. They even made fools of themselves for you whenever you were discouraged every time you wanted to try new things. They even tried to stand up for you when you got pressured by the Shadowbolts before they changed their ways and defended you from Cinch when she blackmailed you.”

“I didn’t ask them to do that.” Said Twilight dejectedly, not knowing how to feel.

“No,” said Inferno, “Princess Twilight did.”

Twilight was surprised by what she said, while the others were just as surprised by what he was revealing.

“What?” said Twilight.

“Your counterpart.” Said Inferno. “They told her everything that you went through, and she asked us to help look after you like they did with Sunset. Because she knew what it was like not to have friends growing up over the years. She asked us to help and support you, so that you wouldn’t be alone anymore, for you. In other words Twilight Sparkle. We. Owe. You. Nothing.”

Twilight was surprised by what she was hearing, with Inferno saying “I just don’t understand it, you’ve got this amazing group of people who are just as different as you are who also love and care about you and accepted you for who you are when nobody else did. They want to be with you, they want to support you and they want you to be happy.”

Inferno shook his head at her and said “Why would you walk away from that?”

Twilight looked down in sadness and held her right arm, thinking about the good times she pushed out of her head and nearly shed a tear.

And Inferno didn’t want to do this, but he looked at Sunset and said “And then there’s you.”

“Me?!” exclaimed Sunset, “I didn’t do anything!!”

“Exactly,” said Inferno, “You did nothing!! Absolutely nothing!! You say you care about your friends, right?”

“Yeah…”

“Then why didn’t you stop them from fighting or breaking their friendship apart?!” said Inferno “Do they really mean that little to you, the friends who helped make you who you are and tried to help you redeem yourself when nobody else wanted to give you a chance?!”

Sunset looked a bit down and didn’t know what to think, with Inferno saying, “Remember at the Battle of the Bands? When they began fighting and Princess Twilight was in despair, you were the one who snapped them out of it. Remember what you said to them?”

She was about to say something, but Inferno beat her to the punch and said “Ever since they started out, they let little things get to them. And if you don’t talk or work things out, the magic of friendship would become something else.”

The girls were surprised as they remembered, causing them to look down in guilt.

“And what Princess Twilight once told me what she told Starlight, if something doesn’t work out the way you expect them to, then work through it together, that’s what friendship is. And that time when Wallflower erased your friends’ memories of you, you didn’t leave or ditch them, you went above and beyond to save them, even sacrificed yourself to save them when she was going to erase their entire memories. And when Twilight, Rainbow and the others got themselves in trouble, you were there to help them. You never gave up on them since you became friends. Why did you now?”

Sunset lowered her head, then said “I did want to keep them together, but then what would be the point? They still fought no matter how hard I tried to help them. They even left us in the dust, and all of them were the ones who walked out on me too!! How did you expect me, or any of us to react?!”

“Like sisters!!” said Inferno, which surprised them. “Like the ones who always had their backs no matter what!! And how they always supported one another, no matter how selfish or idiotic their choices were.”

They didn’t know what to say, with Inferno slowly turning around, then said to them, to their shock, whilst he was in tears. “I would’ve thought that after that little spat, all of you would’ve at least tried to apologize and make it up to one another, like you always did to each other and those that would’ve hurt your friendships. And that no matter how hurt, or angry. You all wouldn’t have abandoned everyone, each other…”

He choked a bit from the tears and nearly sobbed.

“And you wouldn’t have abandoned me and Israel. When we needed you the most.”

Everyone was silent from what he had said, whilst they looked down in guilt at the same time. Inferno, then felt something in his pocket, and remembered something from a long time ago. He pulled out three letters that were stapled together and saw it was still there. He knew that they had to hear it, so he opened the letter and walked over to Sunset.

“Read this,” he said, “For everyone to hear.”

“What?” replied Sunset before she was cut off.

“Just read it.”

Sunset accepted the letter and looked at it, and began to read out loud.

“My hero, by Inferno” said Sunset as she began to read. “My hero, are really heroes. And my heroes are the Rainbooms.”

Sunset was surprised when she read this, even the girls when they heard it. They looked at the letter as Sunset continued to read it.

“Whenever I’m sad, I feel like I lost all hope, my reason to live. And that’s when I met them, the Rainbooms. Not only are they considered the best band in the world, but they’re also the greatest group of friends anyone could ask for. Each of them are extremely different. For they might ask, why would a farmer, an athlete, a fashionista, a party girl, an animal lover, a brainiac and a former bully be friends when they’re so different. But they made me realize, it’s their differences that makes them stronger. Each of them may have their flaws and each of them may have made mistakes, but they have forgotten the good parts when it comes to friendship.”

She then turned the next page and read it.

“Each of them have taught me so many things when it comes to friendship. Applejack, taught me on how to be honest with others, even if they don’t want to hear the truth. But being honest is what makes a friend open to another. Rainbow taught me how to be loyal to others, even if they prefer to work alone, or be alone, no one should ever be alone, and they stand by you, no matter what. Rarity taught me about being generous. Whenever there are folks out there who have nothing, that’s when it makes me sad, and why I work at the soup kitchen on my summer vacations, because if I could give something in return that would be great. Pinkie taught me how to laugh, because laughter can help brighten one's day. And I always like to see her smile, because whenever she does, it makes me happy. Fluttershy taught me to be kind to others, because as everyone faces cruelty, kindness can exist everywhere, if you just open your heart. Twilight taught me that even if one claims you don’t want friends, but you end up feeling a special spark within one self, and makes them realize that these are the friends for you, because they make you feel special. And finally Sunset, though she may have had a rough start, she worked hard to earn their forgiveness, and whenever they did her wrong, she also forgave them. You could say, the soul of Nelson Mandela lives in her.”

The girls were speechless as Sunset read this, of how Inferno felt about them. Sunset turned the next page to continue.

“And whenever I’m sad, I play their songs, and I forget why I was sad at all. And if you knew the life I had, then you know why I’d always be sad. And whenever I hear their song, ‘friendship carries on’, it makes me realize that no matter how different or far apart, one’s friendship can live on forever, even until the day they die. And that no matter how hard life may become, one’s friendship can be beautiful. I can’t say that Sunset Shimmer is my hero. Or Fluttershy, or Pinkie Pie, or Applejack, or Rarity, or Rainbow Dash, or even Twilight Sparkle. But as the Rainbooms. They can be something great. Each of them are unique and they may be amazing in their own way. But what they can do together, can make life beautiful and make life worth living. And that is why, the Rainbooms will always be my heroes, even until the end and they also taught me an important lesson…friends don’t quit and abandon each other, no matter what.”

The girls were greatly surprised by what Inferno had written to them as they slowly looked at him, whilst he slightly looked away. However, Sunset saw something at the corner.
“Girls, look.” Said Sunset.

The girls looked and to their shock, the date he wrote it, it was also the day before they broke up as they slowly looked at him.

“I wanted to read that to you guys on our graduation, to show you how much I care about you,” said Inferno, “And it was a gift that me and CHS was going to give. But because of what you all did that night? You didn’t just disappoint me and Israel. You disappointed everyone at CHS, even Celestia and Luna.”

Everyone was surprised by this.

“I mean, everyone looked up to you,” said Inferno, “I looked up to you.”

But Inferno just shook his head and said “And I’m sorry that friendship means nothing to you. And guess what, you just lost mine too.”

They were shocked by what he had said, with him saying “Princess Twilight would be ashamed and disgusted if she could see you right now.”

Inferno then walked away from them in order to think of a plan to help Israel.

The girls were left alone as they didn’t know what to say. They were speechless, they were surprised. But more importantly…the longing of their friendship came back. Sunset began to shed tears as she looked at the letter. She whimpered for a bit as her hands shook.

“He’s right.”

The girls looked at her and saw her shedding tears.

“Friends don’t quit on one another, and yet I did.” Said Sunset through sobs. “I’m sorry I didn’t stop you girls from fighting. I’m sorry I wasn’t a good friend to all of you. I…I was so lonely without you girls. You meant everything to me and I threw it all away. I’m so sorry.”

Sunset collapsed onto her knees and cried in her hands. The first to respond was Fluttershy as she too began to shed tears, and ended up hugging Sunset.

“I’m sorry too.” Said Fluttershy. “I should’ve said something, and what I did by leaving you was the cruelest thing I’ve ever done. My animals may have kept me company…but they don’t have the same hugs you girls do. I’m sorry too.”

Pinkie couldn’t take anymore as she bawled in tears before sitting on her knees.

“I’m sorry too!!” said Pinkie before she hugged Sunset. “I was the one to help make people smile!! And all I did was take it away by leaving!! I can throw a good party!! But it just wasn’t the same without you girls!! You were the reason I always smiled and threw my parties the best and I took it for granted!! I’m sorry!!”

Applejack felt her dam bursting as she took her hat off and said “Ah’m sorry too. Ah lied to mahself sayin’ We had enough of our bad attitudes. I lied that I didn’t need y’all, but the truth is, ah missed y'all too. Ah took it for granted too and turned mah back on y’all. Please…forgive me…”

She also hugged Sunset in the group. The next one was Rarity, who was in front of Sunset and was in tears whilst she was also on her knees.

“I’m sorry too darling,” said Rarity. “I was cruel for leaving all of you. You girls meant everything to me. I can’t believe I was so selfish like I was back at Equestria Land. Every time I design my outfits, I keep thinking about all of you. All of you inspired me every day. Please…forgive me.”

Rarity hugged them too, not wanting to separate from them. Twilight on the other hand, remembered the words that Inferno had said, and she ended up hugging them too.

“I’m sorry.” Said Twilight, “I’m sorry I quit and left you girls. I thought none of you appreciated me, but it turns out, all of you did help me and I was too blinded by my feelings from back then. I’m sorry.”

Rainbow on the other hand, stood there. But nothing could fool anyone, for she was beginning to crack.

“I don’t need anyone.” Said Rainbow, “I could do things on my own. I…I…”

And that’s when Rainbow lost it, she bawled in tears and cried her eyes out and began to land on her knees. The girls looked at her as she was crying, and Rainbow made herself vulnerable for the first time as she confessed.

“I’m sorry!!” said Rainbow.

“Rainbow?” said Sunset.

“No wait, let me finish!!” said Rainbow, “I was wrong okay, I was wrong!! I didn’t mean to start that fight!! I didn’t mean to break our friendships!! That day when you left, I didn’t want to admit it, but I was hurt how we left things!! How I left things!! I was miserable without all of you!! Whenever I’m out there at the fields, I was glad I won matches, but it didn’t feel the same without all of you!! Whenever all of you watch my games, I felt like I was at my best because you girls were there for me whenever I needed you the most!!”

The girls were surprised to see her open up like this.

“I need you okay, I need you more than you can imagine!!” said Rainbow as she continued to shed tears and cried her eyes out. “I’m sorry I kept belittling all of you!! I’m sorry I kept taking the credit!! I’m sorry for being so selfish whenever we’re out there!! And I’m the worst friend there ever was!! I was supposed to be loyal and I abandoned all of you!! I betrayed all of you!! I’m so sorry!! I don’t want all of you to go!!”

Rainbow buried her face in her hands and sobbed, “I was such a fool!! I’m sorry I always ruin everything!! I keep breaking everything I touch!! I’m sorry!! Please forgive me!!”

Seeing Rainbow like this, now all of them couldn’t help but cry all over again, causing all of them to immediately go over and the group hugged her, all of them crying their eyes out, holding onto one another. They continued to cry their eyes out, holding onto one another.

After ten minutes or so, they broke the hug, but were also on their knees.

“How did things get so messed up between all of us?” Asked Rainbow.

“I guess we were pressured so much on how our lives would be…,” said Applejack.

“We ended up taking it out on each other.” Said Rarity.

“Inferno was right,” said Sunset, “We should’ve talked things through instead of brushing things off.”

“Even me.” Said Twilight, “I should’ve said something, and you girls were the first ever friends I have. And I ended up taking it for granted.”

“No wonder Israel and Inferno lost their trust in us,” said Fluttershy in sadness, “We should’ve reached out to them.”

“Yeah,” said Pinkie Pie, “I should’ve said something too.”

“And we left them behind and took them for granted.” Said Rainbow. “Especially me.” She sighed and said “I’ve got to make things right.”

“We all do.” Said Sunset.

Inferno, on the other hand, was standing near the beach, trying to come up with a plan to save his friend. “What am I going to do? Who am I kidding, I don’t have Equestrian Magic, so how can I save anyone.” He sighed in defeat. “I really am on my own now.”

“No you’re not.”

He turned around and saw the Rainbooms, looking in guilt, but also in remorse.
“You were right,” said Sunset, “We should’ve talked things through.”

“And what you said about us, being great when we’re together.” Said Rainbow, before smiling and said “You really are good friends.”

“And…” said Applejack whilst rubbing the back of her head, “We’re sorry for leaving you and Israel behind. Y’all didn’t deserve that.”

“We really missed both of you.” Said Fluttershy.

“And thanks for trying to remind us what took us a long time to realize.” Said Pinkie Pie.

“We always did love the both of you.” Said Rarity.

“Sorry we didn’t see it sooner.” Said Twilight.

They all went over and hugged Inferno, which he cried tears of his own and ended up hugging them all in return. After the hug, he looked at them and said “So what do we do now?”

The others thought about it, with Rainbow looking at Twilight.

“Yeah,” said Rainbow as she looked at Twilight, “What do you think Twi?” asked Rainbow.
Twilight was surprised, for Rainbow called her by her nickname and looked at her.

“Oh, you think I’m gonna fall for that? Giving me my own nickname? Trying to make me feel like… Part of the Rainbooms?”

“You’re always important to us Twi,” said Rainbow. "You always have been.” Twilight smiled and for the first time, felt like a major player in the team. Rainbow then looked sad and said
“And I’m sorry for constantly hogging the spotlight. I didn’t mean to make you feel that way. It’s just…whenever we save the day, I always get too excited. And…well…carried away. And…I’m sorry.”

Twilight held her shoulder and said “I know Rainbow. You’ll always be you, but that’s what makes you special.”

Rainbow couldn’t help but smile too, and hugged Twilight, repairing the bond between them. After they broke the hug, Twilight had a look of determination and said “We’re gonna need a plan.”

Rarity on the other hand had a dejected look.

“What can I do?” She frowned. “All I’m good for is getting caught.”

“But you never let that stop you before Rare’s,” said Rainbow whilst she smiled at her. “When we got trapped in a random room, you went and tried to find us, and you stood up to a ton of bad guys. And if that’s not a true sign of an awesome hero, I don’t know what is.”

Rarity smiled at Rainbow, as she was happy to say that. “I’m sorry Rainbow.”

“I’m sorry too.” Said Rainbow as the two of them hugged.

Inferno smiled, happy to see the Rainbooms reunited again. But then he sighed and said "Twilight."

Said girl was looking at him, as he said "About what I said..."

"I know," said Twilight, "I'm sorry too. We all are. I was the one who took my friends for granted. And I'm sorry we didn't talk things through like we should have."

Inferno smiled warmly before he wrapped his arms around Twilight and hugged her. Then he softly speaks into her ear, saying: “You’re here. You all are. And that’s all I can ever ask for.”

"Then I guess there's only one thing left for us to do…" Sunset said with a strong determination burning within her. The other girls and Inferno all look at each other, knowing what she meant.

"Let's get our goofy friend back," Twilight said, just as determined.

Moments later, the Rainbooms and Inferno all wander around the island, gathering up supplies and planning out their strategy to get Israel back. They spent the next couple of hours setting everything up and then regrouped at the mouth of the cave which led to the deep caverns where the hidden lair was and where all the souls of the college students were trapped.

On top of that, the whole gang even took some time to change back into their normal clothes. Especially the girls, since they do not plan on saving their friend and fighting a demon cult in their bikinis.

The group ventured deep in the caverns, searching for where the ritual was taking place. And more importantly, to find where Israel was being kept. Which Inferno was more dedicated to when he split off from the girls to go look for his buddy while the girls went to get in their positions to execute their plan.

He followed the same route that he had gone through the last time he was in these caverns, hoping to see if it could lead him to the chamber where he found the mirror. Thinking that it might be where the ritual ceremony is being held.

Fortunately, the sand-covered floor of the caverns were muffling the sounds of his footsteps, making it easier for him to sneak along the tunnels without being caught.

The souls trapped in the mirror all saw the gang setting things up and floated up to the glass, looking at them with their pleading faces.

"Shh, don't worry. We're here to save you," Fluttershy whispered.

"Is everything all set up?" Rainbow asked.

"All systems go!" Twilight said, finishing up her end.

So, here was the plan… AJ, Sunset, Pinkie and Twilight would be in charge of crowd control. While that's happening, Rarity will create an opening through the ceiling so there'll be enough light to shine through like a sky light. Fluttershy and Rainbow then fly around with the disco ball they borrowed from the island and use its glass surface to reflect the light off the ball and onto the demons.

While the demons explode from their sunburns, Inferno will try to find Israel and find a way to bust Filthy and save the world.

And so far… with the ritual beginning, the controlled college students were coming out. Pinkie, Twilight, Sunset and AJ all try to blend in with them, but stay in the back row.

Inferno, in the meantime, searched the caves for his friend, then spotted a shadow around the corner and hid himself. The man that came out was one of the possessed students, wearing some kind of freaky ritual mask. Inferno snuck up behind him, chopped him in the back of the neck and hid him in the corner.

“Nothing personal, pal.” Inferno said to the unconscious student. Suddenly, he hears girls giggling somewhere and he peeks and sees quite the sight to behold. His best friend, Israel, is alright and he's… being waited on by these other girls.

"Would you care for another pizza slice?" one of the girls asked.

"Mmmm, you bet." Israel said happily before opening wide and biting into his slice.

'He's okay!' Inferno said, relieved. ‘And he’s… eating pizza? I was expecting him to be held against his will; like in the movies.’

Without wasting any more time, Inferno looks towards the unconscious student and soon he gets an idea.

It's not long before the ritual dance began and all the possessed students were chanting in a weird language no one could understand. It… didn't even sound like it was human language to begin with, but the rhythm made it clear, this ritual was about to get a sacrifice.

Sure enough, in waltzes the leader of this occult, Filthy Rich, wearing a dark blue imperial outfit. As he stopped in the center of the main chamber, the possessed students stopped and awaited for their leader to speak. Filthy looked over at the girls and the others looked to them as well, all of them having a menacing, yet blank stare.

"Ah, young ladies. Welcome to my little… "Perfect World" party. I've been waiting a long time for this moment. Thank you for returning, the ultimate party favor… the Daimao Jade."

And once he had said that, AJ, Sunset, Pinkie and Twilight soon find themselves grabbed and held captive by a single possessed student; holding onto them with surprising strength. AJ and Sunset struggle to break free, but to no avail. One of the possessed students from the crowd approached Twilight before reaching into her pocket and pulled out the Daimao Jade.

Then they brought the jewel up to their leader, who gladly accepted it.

"And now! Behold! The sacrifice!" Filthy said.

Soon, out came Israel Yabuki, being carried on a chair by a few other masked possessed students, not knowing what his true purpose was in this ritual.

"Damn, big crowd. Didn't know my role was such a big deal." he chuckled.

"Psst, Bro," Inferno whispered while incognito. Taking the mask and clothes from the possessed student from earlier and blending in with the crowd.

Israel looked over to him and noticed his physique, recognizing him. "Inferno? What the hell are you doing here? And what on earth are you dressed as?"

"I don’t know, I didn’t ask the guy who wore it before I knocked him out. I’m here to save you!” Inferno whispered to him, urgently.

"Save me from what? Filthy asked me to be the mascot of this place, what's so bad about that?" he asked, shrugging.

“Dude. You’re not the ‘mascot’, you’re the sacrifice! They need you for some crazy demonic ritual. C’mon, we need to get outta here while we can!” Inferno whispered to him again, trying to get him to see sense.

"Sacrifice?" He asked, then paused for a moment before scoffing. "Well, why would it matter? No one takes me seriously." He hid his face with his hair, too insecure to even look at his "friend" after what transpired earlier.

Seeing that Israel was too insecure or too stubborn, whatever the case may be, Inferno had to say something to get Israel’s attention. And he knew one way.

“Look… I was wrong, Israel.” Inferno spoke. “Ok, I was wrong about AJ earlier. And I’m sorry. Hell… I’m sorry for… everything. I’m sorry that I didn’t know about your insecurities. Even though you didn’t tell me about them when you should have… but that’s not your fault. I know that back when we were in CHS, I had all the popularity and fame… but that didn’t make me happy. It never felt happy. It only made my life hollow and… fake… All those people that surround themselves around me… I never saw any of them as my friends. I never knew what it was like to have a friend. A friend I can count on. A friend that is there for me. A friend I can trust. And then I met you… and the girls… And for once… I was happy. That I have friends that I can trust and depend on. And whenever I'm down, I always have you be there for me. So please, man. Just this once… Let me be there for you. Let me try… to be the friend that you can trust and depend on… when you need it most.” He spoke from the bottom of his heart.

"You… r-really mean it?" Israel asked, his eyes building up tears.

Inferno returned with a smile before he brought his fist up to give a fistbump before saying: “Friend’s don’t quit.”

He blinks once and fistbumps his friend. "Alright, then how do we do this?"

“Ok… We go nice and quiet. And hopefully they won’t notice…” Inferno tries to explain their escape plan before they are interrupted by one of the demons without a host jams its hand straight through Israel's chest, but no blood comes out, just a strange glowing light. “ISRAEL!!!” Inferno screamed in shock and fear.

"W-What… the…! STOP IT! AAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGH!!!!" he shouted, trying to fight it. But it was too late. Out of his chest, came his entire soul and Israel's body goes limp.

From their hiding spot, Fluttershy and Rainbow saw everything and the timid animal lover tries to rush onto the scene to save Israel, if it wasn’t for Rainbow holding her back with all her strength.

"No, don't! You'll get caught, too!" Rainbow warned her quietly.

Meanwhile, the soul of Israel Yabuki struggles to break free from his captor's grasp. "Lemme go! LEMME GO!" he grunted.

Filthy Rich then took the jade and opened it up before aiming it at the mirror where the trapped souls were. Just then, the mirror glowed and showed a swirling vortex of souls popping out.

"The time has come! With the power of the Daimao Jade, I shall absorb the energy source!" Filthy proclaimed. The girls watched in horror as each of the souls were absorbed into that cursed gem and they could hear them all screaming. "And now, to complete the transformation, I shall absorb the imperfect one!"

"Imperfect? Me? What the fuck does that mean?!" Israel's soul asked, trying to break free.

"And ultimate power… SHALL BE MINE!!!" Filthy finishes.

But Inferno has heard enough.

“You ain't taking my best friend, asshole.” Inferno declared as he elbows a possessed student that had a hold on him, before the young man ran towards the tall demon monster that had his best friend.

And with an incredible leap, he pounced onto the monster’s back before he crawled upward and locked his legs around the demon’s neck before he continuously bashed at its face with his bare hands.

“LET MY FRIEND GO, MOTHERFUCKA!!!” Inferno shouted as he continued his assault.

Disorientated and annoyed, the demon monster tried to reach behind itself to get Inferno off it, but the human was slippery and continued punching it in the face. Even going as far as sticking his hand in its mouth and tugging on its tongue.

“OKAY! THIS IS THE GROSSEST THING I EVER DONE!!!” Inferno commented while tugging on the demon’s tongue.

"You think that's gross? You should look at their faces. Woo! That is one ugly motherfucker!" Israel's soul roasted. This made the demon screech in anger from his comment.

"Oop! That's my cue to buy you some time. Get my body ready so I can feel myself again." Israel said. He then finally slipped out of the demon monster’s grasp and floated towards Filthy while a few other demons came after his soul. And just as he stopped right in front of the leader, he waited until the last minute and pulled out a sign from nowhere that said "See ya, sucker." And flew up high and watched Filthy get tackled by the two demon grunts.

While that's happening, Rarity makes her way through a tunnel to get to the surface. "Almost there, but… ooh, I'm in dire need of a pedicure after this mess is over." the fashion diva said.

Back with the girls, after having broken themselves free, Pinkie and AJ were holding off the demon students using AJ's raw power and Pinkie's explosive sweets. This gave Twilight and Sunset the opening they needed to take the jade away from Filthy Rich. But when they try to do it by hand, Twilight burns her fingers because of the jade being too hot. Luckily, she had telekinesis to remove it from his grasp.

It's then that Sunset took another look at Filthy and noticed part of his neck was peeling off. But it didn't look like skin, rather… like the kind of rubber you find in a mask.

"Wait a minute… this can't be the real Mr. Rich." Sunset said. "What if…" she pauses and uses her powers to see into his memories and once she pulls away, she finds out a shocking truth. She turns to Twilight with a serious look. "Twilight, it all makes sense."

"What do you mean?" Twilight asked.

"Think about it." Sunset begins to explain as she looks at the imposter. "The strange office building with all those computers to get into corporate businesses, all this talk about perfection and failure isn't an option, so much so to the point where it's like a giant brain-washing facility… none of these are part of Filthy Rich's ambitions."

Twilight looks at her with confusion. “Then who's?” she asked.

"Who else could it be? The only person who was cheated out of what was rightfully theirs, someone who values perfection above all else, someone who's reputation plummeted because of our beloved autistic friend. Isn't that right…" Sunset paused and then grabbed the rubber face mask of the fake Filthy Rich and tore it off to reveal… "Abacus Cinch!"

And there, lying on the ground was Twilight's old headmistress, glaring up at the two girls. "The nerve of you vile meddlers!" the lady snarled.

Onward to Paradise

Author's Note

This is a little something TheShadowKnight and I whipped up after I got an idea from a movie I watched when I was little, so I hope you all like what we're about to offer you. Also, thanks for all your patience and support, stay tuned for more and keep on bronying on.

Onward to Paradise

The Rainbooms; Canterlot City's most trusted heroes. They were once mere high school girls who only cared about keeping the school safe. And it all started when a misguided pony turned human named Sunset Shimmer brought magic into their world using Twilight's crown. Thanks to the blossoming princess' guidance and the Magic of Friendship, they turned Sunset's perspective around and the once bully of CHS and power-obsessed former student of Princess Celestia, had a change of heart.

Ever since then, the girls have tackled many other magical enemies. The Dazzlings, former Crystal Prep student, Twilight Sparkle, or Sci-Twi for short, Gloriosa Daisy, co-owner of Camp Everfree next to her brother, Timber Spruce, Twilight's ex-boyfriend.

Of course, the girls also had a run-in with two other magic-enhanced "victims" so to speak. One was named Inferno Blaze. He was the quiet genius of CHS who had a bit of a rough past. During school, when he was corrupted by Equestrian magic, he used it to travel back to the past to rescue his dead brother and father from a gas pipe explosion that killed them both. However, when he did this, the timeline split into multiple timelines, each worse than the last; with so many innocents dying.

And it was Sunset who fully convinced Inferno to change back the timeline to what it originally was; meaning he had to let his brother and father die so others can be saved. And while it took some convincing, Inferno eventually agreed and he resetted the timeline, which cost him to exhaust all the Equestrian magic that infected him.

After undoing his actions, the poor young man broke down and fell into despair. Though this time, he was fortunate to have Sunset be the one to be there for him and comfort him.

Some time after that incident was when the Rainbooms dealt with another individual, one who they knew all too well during the Friendship Games. A young man named Israel Yabuki. Apparently the magic that corrupted him messed with his active imagination, bringing anything he imagines to life out of his head.

Whether it was wishing death upon the wicked and unremorseful or wanting to be in more than one place, or creatures, be they supernatural or mythical, they were all made real. And the more he imagined, the more insane he was becoming. Eventually, it got to the point where he was trapped in some kind of pod, hoping it would suppress his dangerously inactive imagination. The girls had a tough time with him, but thanks to the help of his high school crush, Fluttershy, he calmed down and they finally expelled the magic out of him. They later learned his hyperactive imagination is probably due to his mental disability, which renders him unable to socialize with other people. In order to make him feel more comfortable, the girls decided to befriend him, and he even forged a brotherly pact with Inferno.

This all happened some time after the Starswirl festival after Post Crush's comeback gig. It's now been 1 year since they graduated high school and since then, the Rainbooms and the boys have helped in taking care of magic problems all over the city. Now, everyone knows their names and are thankful for all they've done.

Of course, there were times when the Rainbooms would argue during their missions, like with Rainbow Dash getting too full of herself when they were just starting to get popular, taking most of the credit for their "team" efforts.

Sometimes, Rarity would get taken hostage or Twilight would overthink things and go full-on school lecture with the team, boring them to tears. Pinkie would… Well, that's just Pinkie Pie being Pinkie Pie. But the point is, for every yin, there's always yang. Good and bad, pros and cons, agreements and arguments.

And right now, the Rainbooms are working on another magical-crazed mission. And it's currently taking place at one of Canterlot's dealerships where a magic-enhanced janitor named Sludge is causing damage to the establishment by swinging his broom and causing fierce dust storms strong enough to break through glass.

"Whoopsies! Guess someone's gonna have to clean that up!" Sludge yelled out with an obnoxious cackle. He swings his broom once more, only this time, it causes one of the cars on display to get knocked back.

Luckily, it's stopped thanks to everyone's strong-arm gal, Applejack.

"Y'all got a lot o' nerve, causin' all this ruckus, ya blowhard," AJ provoked.

"Who asked you? Ya "sassa-frassin' lil' varmint?!" Sludge mocks, using AJ's accent.

"Y'all wanna repeat that?" AJ asked, getting ticked at his mockery of the way she talks. She lifts up one of the cars, ready to throw it at her. "Ah didn't quite hear ya!"

"Applejack, stop! We're trying to stop him without causing more damage! Plus, you might kill him with that!" Twilight shouts into the bluetooth earpiece AJ has in her ear. In fact, all the girls and the guys have one.

“Twi’s got a point. Also that’s a camaro in your hands, and those things cost about 25 grand.” Inferno’s voice spoke on the earpiece.

AJ took a deep breath and was about to put the Camaro down. But then, Sludge swung his broom and caused another dust storm. Luckily, Rarity showed up just in time to shield AJ with her magic diamonds.

"How dare you try to strike a lady! Not much of a gentleman, are you?" Rarity scolded. AJ safely put the car down and soon, Rainbow showed up with Sunset.

"What is this, some bootleg Girl's Gone Wild gig?" Sludge asked, confused and annoyed.

"You wish, you flabby sleazebag!" Rainbow then rushes at Sludge and grabs a hold of his broom, but he's too strong to rip it out of his hands, so Sunset tries to help by using her magic light energy to stun him.

As the battle was happening, a single drone was hovering right above where the girls and the villain were. The camera on the drone was recording the whole thing.

On the other side of the building, a trap was being set up by none other than Twilight and Inferno; with the latter looking at his tablet and seeing the live footage from the drone.

“Okay, they’re continuing to stall him.” Inferno spoke before turning towards Twilight’s direction, as the girl was making some final tweeks on the trap. “Are we sure the trap is ready? We didn’t have the chance to run a single test on it yesterday.” Inferno asked.

"No problemo. This big blowhard baddie won't even know what hit him," Pinkie assures with a cute giggle. "Or "who" hit him!"

She had brought one of her party cannons in for the mission and inside the cannon was Israel Yabuki, wearing a helmet for good measure.

"I still say this plan is ABSOLUTELY BONKERS!!! But hey, what do I know?" Israel stated.

“Trust me, we have it all planned out. Inferno and I made sure there’s a 99% possibility that you’ll be fine and the trap will work.” Twilight responded, while still focusing on her work.

“It's the 1% that scares me.” Inferno commented.

"You mean, the part where I scatter into itty bitty little bloody pieces if I miss and splatter upon impact with something solid?" Israel asked, deadpanned.

Inferno and Twilight were silent on that question, and the young man was the only one between them that had a doubting expression on his face.

“There’s a possibility?” Inferno shrugged anxiously with a weak smile.

". . .Oh well, no turning back now," Israel sighed with a shrug.

“Well… I’ll check the drone footage and see if the others are doing good with our dust buddy,” Inferno said as he looked back to his tablet and saw the drone footage, only to find the words ‘drone camera offline’ in red on a black screen.

The young man then had a ‘bruh’ expression on his face as puts his finger on his ear piece and said: “Okay which one of you broke my drone?”

As he said this, the scene moves back over with the other girls and the magic villain.

"Umm… blame the janitor?" Fluttershy pointed out, acting as a 2nd lookout. She was watching from the trees, using her binoculars, spotting the drone being stomped nonstop by Sludge.

"You girls have gone and gotten on my nerves! I'll make you eat my DUST!" Sludge shouted. He goes and swings his broom frantically and recklessly, causing his dust storms to split in all directions, each one as fierce as the other. Sunset, Rainbow, AJ and Rarity tried to escape, but were all swept and slammed against the vehicles, immobilized and unable to get close to Sludge and his dust barrier.

Just like they planned. "Okay, this is it! He's lost his composure!" Sunset signalled.

Back at the area with the trap set up.

"Pinkie! You know what to do!" Twilight added.

"Okie dokie lokie! Ready, Izzy?" Pinkie asked.

"No, but fire anyway!" Israel replied.

"Yup-yup! PARTY TIIIIIIIME!!!" Pinkie shrieked before firing him out of the cannon.

"YAAAAAAAAAA-HOO-HOO-HOO-HOO-HOOOOIIIII!!!!" Israel screamed. He hurdles through the air, pushing past the dust storm barrier and finally he tackles Sludge.

"Activate the net, Twilight!" Pinkie called out. Twilight activates the trap set up in the RV and brings it out through the roof. Just in time to catch the corrupt magical janitor and Yabuki.

Moments later, the Rainbooms all gathered together at the entrance of the dealership with their captured suspect. "Well, everyone… mission accomplished." Twilight said proudly.

“WOW! I can’t believe it actually worked!?” Inferno shouted in amazement. He then turns to Twilight and Pinkie, who stare back at him with smirks on their faces. “N-Not that I thought it wouldn’t.” he said.

"Hoo-wee! That was a rush! Getting fired out of a cannon was a bit fun, but I am NEVER gonna do it again," Israel said, shaking a little.

"No worries. We understand," Fluttershy said comfortingly.

Their victory pauses for a moment as police and the news van show up, along with a few fans of the Rainbooms. It's not long before the dealership becomes crowded with people and just like always, Rainbow Dash quickly gets in the spotlight, greeting her portion of fans.

Even the owner of the dealership shows up. "Rainbooms, I can't thank you enough for all your efforts tonight. You've saved my business and stopped this out of control lunatic." he said.

"Anytime, Mr. Goodyear." Sunset said.

"Once again, the Rainbooms have triumphed over another magical disaster and have helped secure yet another out-of-control individual." said the news anchorwoman. She then approaches Rainbow Dash. "Ms. Dash, would you care to comment on the secret of your success?"

"You most certainly can. It's all about teamwork! My friends and I always do our best work as one big team and… coming up with good plans in this loaded noggin of mine." Rainbow said, pointing at her own head.

Twilight watched from the sidelines, deadpanned. "Yeah… my plan," she said to herself.

Inferno walked up to her side and stopped next to her, who also heard what Rainbow said. “Sheesh, talk about ego.” He silently said to himself as well.

"How very interesting, Rainbow. One more question, what made this man decide to cause all this destruction?" the anchorwoman asked. Just then, Twilight stepped in.

"I can answer that. You see, I've done some research on Sludge through an interview with his boss and co-workers. Turns out that Sludge has been getting sloppy in his work, abandoning his posts for unscheduled naps and even developed a hobby of breaking other people's cars to steal their valuables and sell them online." Twilight explains.

"I would've gotten away with it, too if it weren't for you meddling kids! And your dumb dog! I'LL GET YOU FOR THIS!" Sludge called out before he's shoved into the back of a police van and had the door closed on him.

Spike, who was sitting idly by the RV, waved. "So long, fatso," he said in his indoor voice.

And so, later on after the commotion had settled and everyone was about to leave, the girls all met up in the RV and Inferno decided to drive everyone home. But, there was clearly tension between everyone.

"Rainbow, I thought I told you to stop taking credit for my plan! This is like the 17th time already, why do you do that?" Twilight asked, frustrated.

"Hey, who do you think does the heavy-lifting in this group? Besides, I suggested we try to stall the guy, right?" Rainbow tried to justify.

"No, you suggested we tie him up with double-sided tape and hang him from the ceiling." Sunset pointed out disapprovingly.

"I have to agree. Also, I'm all for a little camera time, but must you be such a camera hog? Have some self control, darling," Rarity added.

"Says the drama queen who's loves to photo bomb people. Plus it ain't my fault you wind up as a hostage most of the time." Rainbow retorted.

"I do not always become a hostage! How dare you!" Rarity scoffed.

"Well, to be precise, 73% of the time we're busting magic baddies, you've had yourself getting taken by--" Twilight tried to explain, before Rarity took her glasses. "Hey! Rarity! Give them back, I can't see!" she demanded, searching blindly.

"With all due respect, we don't need another lecture, darling," Rarity replied.

"I said GIVE THEM BACK!" Twilight then grabbed what she thought was Rarity, by the shirt collar, but she wound up grabbing AJ instead and shook her.

"Uh… wrong gal, Sugarcube," AJ said.

“HEY!” Inferno shouted back at the girls and Israel in the back of the RV. “No arguing back there while I'm driving! I will turn this thing around, mind you!” he instructed.

The girls fell silent, until… "Look, everyone. I know I'm just the dude who carries the bags. But it seems to me like we all play an important role in this group. I mean we're just like a big, delicious jumbo burger. Inferno, you're the big and beefy patty. AJ, you're the deliciously sliced big cheese. Rainbow Dash, you're the flavorful ketchup, mustard and mayo combo. Rarity's the sweet and freshly cut onions. Fluttershy's the crispy, fresh lettuce. Pinkie's the sweet tomato slices and Twilight and Sunset, you're the crispy, warm burger buns and bring them together." Israel said.

"Mm-mmm!" Spike exclaimed in delight, licking his chomps.

"That sounds pretty good, doesn't it, Spike?" Israel chuckles.

"Sure does," Spike nods.

“Great! Now you guys made me hungry.” Inferno responded from the driver’s seat.

"You know what, Israel? You've really put it in perspective for me. And I know that you mean well and I appreciated it." Twilight said.

"Thanks." Israel said, blushing a bit.

"That's why… I quit." Twilight blurted out. The other girls stared at her in shock, as was Israel.

So was Inferno, who immediately stomped on the brake pedal, stopping the RV abruptly; which almost had everyone fall out of their seats. Once the vehicle stopped on the side of the road, Inferno got up from the driver’s seat and turned around to look directly at Twilight with a shocked expression. “You WHAT?!” he shouted in disbelief.

"No way! Y-You can't quit! What about all the baddies that we might have to deal with?" Rainbow asked.

"You should've thought of that before you acted like some… some… GLORY-HOG BITCH! There, I said it! I'm sick and tired of having to deal with all these complications and backlashes and always having to put my brain into use and not get my dues! From now on, you're all on your own." Twilight said in frustration. As she's about to get off the RV, she stops to give Israel a hug and whispers, "At least you and Inferno took me seriously." Soon, Twilight climbs out and Spike follows her since he's her pet ponies up before grabbing Spike and flying home.

"Honestly, I'm no help to this group. What's the point of helping if I just watch from the sidelines? You're… better off without me," Fluttershy said as she got up from her seat and proceeded to get off the RV.

“Hey, Flutters, come on, girl. Don’t…” Inferno tried to stop her, but he was too late as Fluttershy ponies up and also flies off towards home.

"Ah hate to do this, but all these problems have gotten too outta hand fer all of us. Ah think Ah'm gonna take a break and help out mah family. Thanks fer all the adventures," AJ said, leaving as well, deciding to take a cab home.

"I'm sorry, too. But it's no fun if the Rainbooms are disbanded," Pinkie said, pulling both boys in for a hug before she leaves the RV herself.

"I hope you're happy, darling," Rarity said to Rainbow in a judgmental tone, being the next to leave the RV. She ponies up and uses her magical diamonds to carry her home.

"Fine! Be that way! I didn't need you all anyway!" Rainbow blurted out. She stomped out of the RV and ponied up before speeding off.

The only ones left were Inferno, Israel and Sunset. And even she was having her doubts about the whole group.

Inferno stared at Sunset with pleading eyes and his facial expression clearly showing his conflicting emotions over this situation.

“S-Sunset?” He called to her softly.

Sunset didn’t turn back to face him, as she only responded with one sentence: “Just take me home, Inferno.”

With a heavy heart, Inferno got back in the driver's seat and started up the engine before driving off to Sunset's apartment. Not another word was said during the trip. Just silence. It's still hard to believe that the Rainbooms have all decided to disband.

Moments later they arrive at Sunset's house.

"I wish you didn't have to go," Israel said sadly.

"Me too." Sunset said, getting up. She walks over to Inferno and gives him a surprise hug. "The Rainbooms might be done… but I could never be done with you. Call me if you want some company and I'll be there." she whispers in his ear, followed by a kiss on the cheek. She then goes over to Israel and hugs him and pecks him on the cheek, too.

Inferno's heart skipped a beat, but at the same time, was breaking into millions of pieces. Even now, his eyes swelled up with tears and ran down his cheeks like waterfalls. The first girl who showed him such affection, his whole entire world, leaving him behind like this opened up some old wounds he tried his best to heal from. And there was nothing he could do to stop her.

And so, with a wave, Sunset got off and closed the door to the RV and headed inside her home.

Inferno reached his hand towards the direction of Sunset, trying to reach out to her, but she was out of his reach. “D-Don’t… Go.” he pleaded silently.

As a last resort, Israel approached Inferno and patted him on the shoulder. "She'll still be around for us. Friends don't truly quit," he assured, holding back his own tears, trying to be strong.

After dropping off Sunset and saying their goodbyes, the RV drives off into the distance, with Israel and Inferno left on board.

“I just can’t believe this happened.” Inferno commented.

"Me neither. But now, it's just you and me for a while, buddy," Israel said.

“Why can’t things be like they were before?” Inferno asked.

"I wonder the same thing, but I guess we can't change the past. Without the girls around, I guess we'll all just do what we do best, bro." Israel said. And so with heavy hearts, as the two boys drive off into the night, they try to stay strong and move on for their sake and the girls.

2 Years Later

Times have changed ever since the Rainbooms disbanded and went their separate ways. Most of the girls' whereabouts are unknown, but Sunset Shimmer has become a student at Canterlot Grand University and has since then kept in constant contact with her boyfriend Inferno. There were times when he'd go and visit her just to hang out and of course… get kinky in bed.

But recently, she's been studying for some upcoming exams and hasn't had time to talk. So as for Israel, he's since moved into a new apartment, living a normal life. But at the moment, he's out by the beach, whipping up some grub in the RV for him and Inferno.

"Oh man… talk about ‘toasted’." Israel said, cooking up some burgers on the stove. "Man, the only thing I like with my cheeseburger is a hot platter of freshly cooked garlic fries!"

As Israel was cooking, Inferno was laying on one of the RV bunk beds. And he has changed over these two years. His hair grew a bit longer and he bore a long beard on his face; and he looked like he hadn't gotten any sleep. As he was laying on the bunk bed, in his hand was his phone, which he stared at the screen for hours, as if he was waiting for something.

Israel was able to glance at Inferno for a moment, and when he did, he let out a sigh and shook his head. He knows that Inferno has been waiting for Sunset to call.

The last time Sunset made contact with them was 6 months ago, and she hasn’t called back since. And it took a toll on Inferno.

"Hey, Inferno. Lunch is served, so grab a--" Israel stopped mid-sentence upon seeing his friend all down in the dumps. "Bro, I understand you miss her, but you shouldn't have to worry. I'm sure she's probably busy with her studies."

“But she promised to call back as soon as she can…. And it's been months!” Inferno responded with a weary tone in his voice.

"Maybe she's got a lot on her plate right now. Here, have a burger, you'll feel better once you've gotten something to eat." Israel said, handing him a plate with a juicy burger.

Inferno gazes at the meal for a brief time, before he sighs in defeat and gets off the bunk bed, and then takes the plate. “Alright… Maybe something to eat will cheer me up.” He said right as he picked up the burger in one hand and sinks his teeth in it. The moment he bit into it, the flavors made his taste buds tingle and he took a deep breath. "God, that's a good burger."

"Told you so. Just another beautiful day in paradise," Israel said before serving himself a burger and taking a bite. But just then, there's a knock on the RV door.

"Hello? Anyone in there? I'm looking for a Mr. Blaze and a Mr. Yabuki, the former members of the Rainbooms?" a young man asked behind the door.

"Who would be looking for us?" Israel asked.

“Shit, I bet it's the press! Those parasites never get off our backs.” Inferno starts as he places down the plate and the ¼ eaten burger onto a counter and then he moves towards the back of the RV and grabs two duffle bags and tosses one to Israel. “Grab anything you can carry. We’ll sneak out the window before they notice we’re here.” he said as he grabs any spare clothes and belongings and stuff them in his duffle bag.

"Okie dokie lokie," Israel saluted, grabbing some of his stuff. He scurries around, trying to fit whatever he can into his own duffle bag and zips it right up. He even grabs his burger… with his own mouth, all set and ready to go.

The two then try to sneak out through one of the windows, only to both land on top of a young man in a white t-shirt and blue jean shorts.

"Whoops! Sorry about that," Israel said, getting up before helping the man up. "Listen, I get that some people haven't forgotten the Rainbooms and I understand they miss them. It's just we're not as active anymore after the girls split up."

"Oh, it's not that. I've actually been sent by my employers to invite you to their world famous amusement park, Unity Island." the man said.

“Sorry pal, we ain’t interested. As you can see we have everything we need.” Inferno gestured to the RV and their belongings.

"Except for the girls, including your girlfriend," Israel pointed out.

Inferno looks at his buddy in betrayal. “Why must you remind me?” He said with a pained, comedic tone.

"Sorry, didn't mean to upset you. But in any case, I'm not sure if this island's right for us, we don't even know anything about it." Israel said.

"It's more than just a vacation spot right now. You see, my employer also sent me here to ask for your help in solving a mystery. He'll even pay you a fee of $10,000." the guy said.

“Sorry dude, not interested in the money. All I want to do is enjoy my supper and get a phone call from my girlfriend. So no thank you.” Inferno responded.

"He'll provide you with free airfare and even free room and board," he added.

"All this just to solve some mystery?" Israel questioned.

"And… all you can eat as well as have a good time with the dames, too," the guy said.

“...” Inferno remained silent with widened eyes.

"A… A… All you can eat?" Israel asked with glee before fainting with his legs pointed up.

“C-can we… invite a plus 3 as well?” Inferno asked the guy.

"Actually, my employer was planning on inviting all of you to the island, the girls included." the guy said.

Inferno stood silent before he brought his hand up as he and the stranger shook hands.

“You better tell your boss that we got a deal!” Inferno confirmed before chuckling heartedly.

Meanwhile, later on during that day, over at Canterlot International Airport, a familiar bacon head was heading down one of the halls, listening to her music, when she accidentally bumps into one of her old friends.

"Twilight?" Sunset asked, taking off her earphones.

"Sunset?" Twilight asked back.

"Hey, it's been a while. Are… Are you going in this direction?" Sunset asked. Twilight nodded.

"So… how've you been lately, Sunset?" Twilight asked.

"I'm doing alright. I had been working nonstop at college. I finished my exams, but… when I was walking home, some asshole in his car splashed some water at me driving by a flooded curb. Because of him, my phone got water damaged and I couldn't call my boyfriend for a while. I hope he's okay." Sunset explained.

Twilight can’t help but give a smug look towards her old friend. “Boyfriend, huh?” She replied with a slight teasing tone in her voice. “Sounds like you have been busy these past 2 years.”

"Yeah… and how about you? What've you been up to?" Sunset asked.

"Working at getting my master's degree in advanced science. But, more importantly, I'm also on a journey of self-discovery." Twilight said.

"Flight 210 to Unity Island will be departing in 15 minutes." the woman over the intercom said.

Sunset and Twilight both hurried over to the terminal and were met with more familiar faces.

"But darling! I need the extra luggage for an emergency! How can you say I'm not allowed to bring more than 5 pieces of luggage?" Rarity asked.

"Still the same old Rarity. Always overthinking things when it comes to packing your bags," Rainbow said, rolling her eyes at her.

"I wasn't talking to you, Ms. Ketchup, Mustard and Mayonnaise!" Rarity retorted.

"One time! ONE TIME he called me that and now you're gonna make that a thing?!" Rainbow Dash asked, annoyed.

"Umm… girls, please stop all this fighting," Fluttershy said, timidly.

"Mah family said to take a vacation, yet Ah'm stuck in a livin' nightmare." AJ stated.

"We're going on vacation! We're going on vacation!" Pinkie sang cheerfully, bouncing up and down all giddy.

"Girls?" Twilight and Sunset asked.

The rest of the Rainbooms looked over and saw Twilight and Sunset. Moments later, Pinkie squealed happily and ran towards the two with arms open wide, hugging both girls.

“OMG! IT'S BEEN SO LONG!” Pinkie cheered and cried happily.

"It's… great to see you too, Pinkie," Sunset replied, hugging her back while being squeezed.

"What brings you two peas in a pod here?" Rainbow asked.

"Isn't it obvious? We all received the same letter from an anonymous owner of Unity Island." Twilight pointed out.

"But why? I would've solved this case lickity split all by myself," Rainbow bragged.

"You couldn't even catch a cold, darling. Besides, I can solve this case first," Rarity said with her nose pointed up.

"How do ya plan on savin' yerself if ya get caught?" AJ asked.

"Darling, I've done more than just sewing clothes. I've made time in my busy schedule to learn the art of Taekwondo," Rarity said proudly. Some of the girls laughed it off like it was a joke. "I'm not kidding, darlings."

"Far out!" shouts Israel as he makes himself known. "Hah! I guess we're all going to Unity Island together, right girls?"

"Izzy!!!" Pinkie shouted with glee before tackle-hugging him. He picks her up and hugs her while spinning her in the air.

"Hey, where's Inferno?" Twilight asked.

"We had to make a little stop before we came here. Check him out for yourselves," Israel said, pointing in Inferno's direction.

The girls all turned towards the direction and approaching them was Inferno.

Compared to what he looked like yesterday, Inferno had freshened up. He completely shaved off his beard. And as for his hair, he had it cut to be spiky hair at medium length. He wore his old leather jacket, with a blue shirt underneath, and wore gray jeans. He was carrying a duffle bag over his shoulder.

Sunset's eyes locked on her boyfriend. Her cheeks heating up like crazy, she'd never seen him look this handsome before. She went up to him Inferno midway and looked directly into his eyes, still blushing.

"Hey… you look good, babe," she said, scratching the back of her head.

"Thanks, but… Sunset?" Inferno said.

"You… wanna know why I haven't called you, right?" she asked and he nodded. "It's… kind of an embarrassing story. Long story short, some asshole drove by and short-circuited my phone with water. I was planning on calling you when I got home, sorry if I worried you."

"I understand." Inferno replied, stroking her soft cheek before they shared a tender kiss.

"Awwww," the girls say in unison.

"Flight 210 to Unity Island is now boarding!" the woman behind the desk called out through the intercom to all passengers.

"I don't know how it happened, but clearly she saw something in Inferno that led to this," Rainbow said.

"Ah’ think it's mighty sweet. Though, Ah’ will admit, Ah’ am a bit jealous." AJ confessed.

“Uh, girls, we should probably get on our flight… if it's not too much to ask.” Fluttershy informs them timidly.

"Yeah, I agree with Fluttershy and just think! The legendary Rainbooms reunite. We'll be like a team again, just like the old days. So let's do that thing where we put our hands in, we lift them up and we go "WOO-HOO-HOO!!!" Israel said.

"...Only if everyone else does it, darling," Rarity stated.

"...People are watchin', sugarcube." AJ said.

"Umm… woo-hoo," Fluttershy chimes in timidly, her cheeks flushed.

After that little chit-chat, the girls grab their things and all begin boarding the plane.

"Woohoo?" Israel asked.

"Yeah, bud. Woohoo. Come on," Inferno said before the two boys follow behind the girls and board the plane themselves.

The plane is now airborne on its way to its destination. Inside, the Rainbooms are all seated differently throughout the plane. Rarity's near the front row on the left, reading a magazine and sitting all by herself. Fluttershy, Pinkie and Rainbow Dash are seated together in the middle section on the left, Sunset and Twilight are both seated together on the right section in the middle of the plane and finally, AJ is sitting in between Inferno and Israel near the back of the plane on the left.

Pinkie is having some sweets for the ride while Fluttershy's humming to herself and Rainbow's staring out the window, looking bored. Sunset's drowning in her music and Twilight's catching up on some reading. And of course, the boys and AJ are having themselves a hearty meal with a 2 foot long submarine sandwich, cut in 3 equal slices.

"Now this is a beautiful work of art," Israel said.

“Israel, you out-done yourself.” Inferno commented as he took a bite in his sandwich and was taken back by the delicious taste. “You wanna know what’ll make this better? A nice bottle of apple cider.” he said. “And man, it's been forever since I had one.”

"Ah thought ya might say that," AJ then reaches into her shirt and pulls out a bottle of freshly homemade apple cider. "Drink up, big boy," she said. Both boys were surprised and stunned by how she managed to fit that bottle in her shirt.

Inferno’s mouth gaped open as he looked upon the cider while also looking back to AJ, and without warning, he gave her a big kiss on the cheek before grabbing the cider.

“AJ… You are a lifesaver.” he praised the farm gal as he pops open the bottle and takes a sip from the life essence that was the apple cider.

Applejack felt like she was frozen in time, yet she felt warm at the same time. Her fingers press against the cheek Inferno kissed. Not once has she ever been kissed before, let alone by someone so handsome.

While she's feeling embarrassed, Israel sighs and just eats his submarine sandwich.

After taking a long 10-second sip from the apple cider, Inferno brings the cider bottle away from his lips and lets out a sigh of relief.

“Ahhhh… That’s some good cider right there.” He commented. “And to think it came from AJ’s bosom…” It took him about 2 seconds to realize what he just said before he turns to see AJ staring at him, blushing red like a tomato. “Uh… I didn’t mean anything rude or insensitive by that. Honest!” Inferno claimed.

"N-No, it's alright. You were… just bein' honest. Ah appreciate it," AJ assured, still blushing.

“Well, honesty is kinda your thing, right?” Inferno proclaimed. “Plus you got the beauty to match it. You could give Rarity a run for her money…. But don’t tell her I said that! She’ll kill me.” He spoke in fear.

"And every time you blush like that, you look extremely cute," Israel added.

"Oh, just stop it, yer makin' a gal blush more," AJ said, shoving Israel against the window with an audible thud.

"Ow!" Israel exclaimed.

Both AJ and Inferno looked at Israel with worry, mostly AJ think if she pushed him too hard.

“Whoa, dude! You ok?” Inferno asked his pal.

"I'm fine, but damn, she hasn't been slacking off at all these past 2 years," Israel said, rubbing his head and then his shoulder.

“You seriously forgot that this is the same girl who wiped the floor with the CHS football team back in our senior year?” Inferno asked.

After hearing that, Israel could remember the event, which made him chuckle.

“That was impressive,” he commented."But seriously, you think I don't know that?"

AJ can’t help but smile and take pride hearing that long time memory once again.

"But there's one memory I'd like to forget, no matter how many times I try," Israel said, sitting back against the seat. "Senior Prom." Israel said, looking down at his nearly finished sandwich.

Inferno looks at his pal with a sympathetic expression on his face. “Aw man bro,” was all he said as he reached his hand, over AJ, and placed it on Israel’s shoulder in sympathy.

"Ah'm sorry, sugarcube. Ah get whatcha mean." AJ said. "But Fluttershy did arrive to see ya."

"That was minutes after I left for home." Israel replied. He turned to the window and munched on the last of his sandwich. Thinking back, he still remembers how depressed he was when she didn't show up on time. So much so that he hardly spoke to anyone, not even Fluttershy.

“Come on, man. Fluttershy made a simple mistake. You can’t blame her for that, can ya?” Inferno said.

"No, but still… I felt like an outcast going there all alone. All I could do was eat and then split. I'm not mad at Fluttershy, I just… since that day, I've had trust issues." Israel admitted.

"Well, maybe things'll be different when we get to the island. Trust me," Inferno said.

"We'll see." Israel said.

“An’ while we’re at there island, maybe ya should think ‘bout talkin’ ta Fluttershy.” AJ suggested.

"I'll… think about it," Israel hesitated a bit.

As the three were talking in the back of the plane, up in the middle section, where Rainbow, Pinkie, and Fluttershy sat. The animal lover is looking back at the section where Israel sat, though she couldn’t see him among many of the seats and people’s heads. But she knew he was there.

Her memories were still plagued by that same horrible night. And she never forgot, nor forgave herself for that.

"Hey, why the long face, Fluttershy? Come on, turn that frowny upside-downy," Pinkie said, flashing her own smile.

"Not now, Pinkie Pie," Fluttershy said, looking down at the ground.

"Aww, why not? You're usually so peaceful and happy. What's eating you up?" Pinkie asked.

"I… don't want to talk about it," Fluttershy shook her head.

"Fluttershy, lighten up. This is the vacation of a lifetime! What's there to be sad about?" Rainbow asked, patting her on the back.

"I said I don't wanna talk about it!" Fluttershy growled a bit, scaring both Rainbow and Pinkie and making them back off. Fluttershy then calmed down herself and sighed. "I'm sorry, girls. It's just that I'm too upset with myself to enjoy a vacation."

"Upset with yourself? Why?" Pinkie asked, trying to understand Fluttershy.

"I… Well, let's just say I hurt someone dear to me." Fluttershy confessed.

“What do you mean?” Rainbow asked in confusion.

Fluttershy turned to Rainbow, with a deadpan expression on her face as she said: “Prom night… senior year.”

"O…Oh, you mean where you jilted on Israel when he asked you out." Rainbow said, remembering that night.

"Dashie! Don't rub it in!" Pinkie scolded.

“Hey!” A voice shouted out. The three girls looked up and saw the voice coming from a middle-aged woman sitting in the seats in front of them; now looking over her seat and glaring at them. “And you three young ladies shut your mouths. Nobody wants to hear the ruckus you're making!” she sternly said.

"Who asked you to butt into our business, lady? Just shut your yap and worry about yourself." Rainbow snapped back.

The woman gasped as she turned her glare onto Rainbow. “How DARE you talk to me you multi-colored haired bitch!” She retaliated.

“Me a bitch?” Rainbow responded.

“Uh, Dash, maybe you…” Fluttershy tried to de-escalated the situation, but it was too late as Rainbow lunged from her seat and attacked the woman, resulting in a huge cat-fight. And not the good one.

Soon the entire plane could hear the commotion going on, and all eyes turned to the big fight going on. Soon the rest of the Rainbooms got up from their seats and rushed in to stop the fight.

"SIT DASHIE! BAD DASHIE! DON'T KILL THE LADY!" Israel shouted.

"Ah’ got this!" AJ said. The busty apple gal soon got up from her seat and scooched right over Inferno, accidentally getting her big ass in his face; the young man didn’t see it coming. But he sure wouldn't mind grabbin' a handful of THEM apples; if he wasn’t dating Sunset already.

“APPLEJACK!!!” He shouted while blushing.

“SORRY SUGARCUBE!” She responded, while also blushing.

Then later Pinkie screamed cheerfully for the entire plane to hear. “THIS IS GONNA BE THE BEST VACATION EVEEEER!!!!!!!!”
