Equestrian Omni-Hero: Omni-kix Adventure
Chapter 8: The Steamers
Previous ChapterNext ChapterAfter the fighting with Looma and her joining the group while also having Glitch, the group felt a bit tension since her arrival while Helen, Attea, Lolaxx and Zs’Spoocy kept giving her cold looks while also keeping an eye on her after beaten Helix up and her getting ‘engaged’ with him because of their fight along with Manny and Vera.
The Omni-Copter was flying in the air before grunting and shouting sounds could be heard inside. Helix and his friends were suddenly in a large city as Manny was thrown back through a building. "You okay?!" Ocellus called out before dodging a familiar laser.
“Grr, I forgot how hard he hits.” Manny groaned before he managed to quickly roll out of the way to avoid a boulder that was gonna hit him. In front of him was Vilgax, but he looked like how he used to be before his enhancements.
"Huh so that's what Vilgax looked like before." Helix said as he knows how he looks completely different from his modified form. "Still as ugly though."
“You will not stop me!” Vilgax called out as he lifted up another boulder and threw it towards them, but it was stopped by magic as Smolder was using her magic to hold it in place.
“Tell that to the other times, squid head!” Smolder mocked as she tossed the boulder back at Vilgax, which sent him flying as he crashed with a thud. “Even without his enhancements, he’s tough.” She commented before she was suddenly smacked back, which was Vilgax again, but this time with his enhancements. “Me and my big mouth.”
"Do not falter!" Looma declared as she gripped tightly on her warhammer. "Show me how a group such as yourself was able to defeat Vilgax!"
"You ask and we will deliver!" Helix replied before he activated his Omnitrix and transformed into Xlr8 before he turned the dial to activate the Omni-kix armor. “Time to go fast!” He exclaimed as he then sped at Vilgax, but he was way faster than he was usually do as he used his speed and durability to smack Vilgax many times, which makes him hard to keep up as he kept trying to hit him, but was quickly overwhelmed as he covered his head while being hit. “Looma, give him the hammer!”
"Of course, beloved!" Looma shouted before she swung her hammer but was caught by the future version of Vilgax. “What is this?!” She asked in shock of seeing the future version of Vilgax.
“You wouldn’t hit my former self!” Future Vilgax exclaimed as he lifted Looma up and smashed her to the ground and hit her a couple of times as a crater was being formed.
Soon, Looma was tossed to the others as XLR8 went towards them as they saw three Vilgaxes, from past, present, and future, together as they glared at the heroes. “Wow! Three Vilgaxes at the same time!” Silverstream exclaimed in shock. "This is both amazing and frightening at the same time!"
"This just means a beat down three times as awesome!" Helen called out before they charged at the three Vilgaxes.
Misty activated her Omnitrix and slammed down as she transformed into her version of Humungasuar as she tackled the first Vilgax down with Smolder, Gallus, Lolaxx, and Sandbar. Looma, Manny, Zs’Spooky, and Yona attacked the present Vilgax, while XLR8, Helen, Ocellus, Silverstream, and Attea attacked the future Vilgax.
XLR8 and Helen ran around future Vilgax to keep him occupied, while the others swooped in to attack him a few times. Future Vilgax gave a mighty yell, but then Ocellus and Attea flew in while they aimed their blasters and fired a powerful blast that hit Future Vilgax.
Looma and Manny were delivering mighty punches at present Vilgax while the female tetraman princess swung her hammer at present’s Vilgax’s face, causing him to stumble back before Manny delivered a mighty punch while Zs’Spooky flew up to his head and plug her hands into his head, causing him to scream in pain before Yona charged in and knocked present Vilgax away, sending him flying to a building, which crumbled down.
With the rest facing the past Vilgax, Smolder chanted a spell to create a few magic circles that released fireballs right at him. Vilgax covered his face to block out the shots as Gallus flew in and kicked him to the face, which caused him to stumble before Sandbar rushed in and jump up and deliver a hind hoof kick to the chin while Lolaxx charged and punched him back as Misty then swung her tail and knocked Vilgax away, knocking him to the ground.
“Past Vilgax is out!” Misty exclaimed, and then suddenly, one by one, the Vilgaxes all vanished in a stray line before they vanished before the surrounding suddenly vanished as well, revealing a large empty room.
“Not bad, for holograms.” Gallus said with a shrug as Misty and XLR8 then timed out and transformed back.
“That was impressive, guys.” Flash said with a smile as he and the others, except for Dust and Delta, were looking through a window after watching the fight. “Three Vilgaxes taken down for the price of one.” He commented.
"Even I am impressed, beloved~." Looma said with her cheerful tone as she gave Helix a warm embrace. "But I certainly wasn't expecting three of them."
"Yeah, that third Vilgax was the one we faced when we traveled to the future." Helen told her before she quickly got Helix out of Looma's hug. "By the way, it was surprising when he said to think about fighting Vilgax and it brought all three versions of him here."
“Well, if Vilgax said he was as tough as he was, from when my parents time, our time, and the future, I figure if we wanted to get stronger, so why not have all three for a challenge?” Helix questioned with a shrug. “Because let’s be honest, the dude has a habit of fighting with power.”
“I’m surprised you got the details right.” Twilight said with a surprised look while looking at a projection of Future Vilgax. “Because seeing Vilgax that power and combat all your aliens in the future, that scares me quite a bit.”
“That was me.” Ocellus said with her hoof raised as they exited the hologram room. “I managed to memorize Vilgax’s attack.”
“And solid holograms rock!” Rainbow cheered with a smile.
“It’s like you can actually fight them!” Scootaloo exclaimed in excitement. “So awesome!”
"Yeah, it was." Misty said before her Omnitrix timed out and she transformed back. "So what do you think we're going anyway?"
“Don’t know.” Ruby said with a shrug. “Delta and Dust wouldn’t tell us.”
“But they said it was a request from Celestia.” Xylene said to them. “So wherever they’re taking us, she seems more eager to go.”
"I think I saw her put on a t-shirt with a squid on it, so maybe that's a clue or something." Attea said with a shrug, which caused Misty to do a double take. "Oh and Looma, be sure to put on your ID mask so we don't freak out the natives around when we land."
“And try and not say the word beloved to Helix, please.” Helen pleaded. “It will just be awkward for someone to say it at this age.” She added with a look.
“Don’t worry. I will follow your custom.” Looma said before she took out an ID mask.
Then suddenly, Delta spoke up through the speakers. “Alright everyone, we are arriving at our destination, preparing for landing.” He announced before they heard a squealing sound that came from a little filly as they all cringed while some covered their eyes.
“Sister! Please! Calm down!” Luna spoke up through the speakers before it was cut off as they all shared awkward silences.
“Who knew Celestia can squeal like a filly.” Fluttershy commented as they shared a small chuckle in amusement.
Soon the group was out of the copter and walking down some run-down Pier with a few squids printed on a few buildings. Looma had a ID mask on as she was disguised as a earth pony filly with red fur and a black mane. “Ah, Squidcity. This place is my special part of my fillyhood.” Celestia said with a nostalgic smile.
“Uh, how long was that, a thousand years ago?” Cozy asked with a brow. “Because this place looked a bit run down.”
“Well, it has been lacking in fame lately.” Celestia said with a shrug. “This could be the last chance for any of you to see it. Pretty soon they’re gonna tear this whole place down and put in one of those shiny new megaplexus.”
"Well, can't stop the barge of progress.” Tempest said with a shrug.
"But at least we can let them experience the local delicacies one last time." Luna mentioned with a small smile. "I remember how many times you went on the squid themed zipline, and then you could barely move your legs."
“I just love that ride!” Celestia said with a smile as the others snickered before she realized something. “Wait, where’s Misty?” She asked, seeing Misty wasn’t with them.
"Oh there she is, by the entrance.” Helen pointed out as Misty seemed a bit distracted.
“Misty? Equestria to Misty?” Sweetie Belle asked, while Misty looked at the squid related signs in terror as she walked up to them.
“Squids. Squids. Everywhere.” Misty muttered as she slowly walked up to them.
“Hurry, Misty! You’re gonna miss out!” Pinkie cheered as Misty went up to them.
“What are we exactly having?” Starlight asked with a brow.
“It’s Ice Cream, Squidcity style.” Celestia said with a smile.
“I like ice cream.” Misty said, feeling a bit calm. “What’s Squidcity style about it?”
“It's basically black ice cream that's made with a little bit of squid ink." Luna explained, which made Misty worry again.
"D-Did you just say…squid ink…?" She questioned as her Imagination got the better of her and the stallion behind the counter looked like a squid to her. “Ice… creeeeeaaaaammmm. Not hungry!” She said as she lowered herself from the counter while the others looked at her in surprise.
“What’s her problem?” Button Mash asked with a brow.
"No idea, but if she's too scared to get some ice cream, I'll show her how a brave hero does it. Helix said before he looked at the stallion behind the counter. "Yo, squid-tender, I'll have a large one please!"
Misty gave her cousin a look before she raised her hoof. “W-Well, I’ll have extra large!” She called before she realized what she did. “Oh, no. What have I done?!” She muttered with a fearful look.
"I'll have a triple quadruple large!" Pinkie exclaimed.
“We’ll all have squidink cones.” Luna said to the stallion.
“Coming right up,” The stallion said as he took a cone and started pulling some ice cream in.
“Not the weirdest we ate.” Gallus said with a shrug before a green flash was shined as Misty transformed into her version of Fast Track and sped away. The young group followed the blur and found her standing behind one of the booths.
"Really, Fast Track?" Attea asked Misty.
“Lay down your money pal, or keep moving!" She replied as she acted like one of the workers.
“What’s your deal, cous?” Helix questioned with a brow. “I don’t think I’ve seen you this jumpy.”
“What do you mean you’re out?” Celestia asked as the young group turned to them. “It’s Squidcity’s pier signature dish!” She pointed out to the stallion.
“Not anymore.” The stallion said dully. “The Squid stands are closing down to make way for the new megaplexus. Looks like they got the last ones.” He said as he saw a group of ponies taking pictures of their squid ink ice creams before tossing them away.
“Okay, that’s just a waste of perfectly good ice cream!” Pinkie exclaimed with a look.
"Sorry, the pier is changing." The stallion said before he took off his squid head and walked away.
A bit later, after Misty timed out, the group saw the sign of the new Multiplex that is coming soon. “Look at that. Not a single squid could be found anywhere on it.” Celestia said with a look.
“You know, I agree with progress, but why would anybody be so anxious to forget that past?” Twilight asked in wonder. “The past is great.”
"We could not agree more, your highness!" A stallion's voice declared.
“Huh? Who was that?” Rarity asked in surprise as the group turned to the explosion.
“Finally, something not squid related.” Misty said in relief before she rushed off, but some creatures ran off before a giant squid robot appeared from the water.
“Flee before our mighty beast!” Another Stallion’s voice called out as one of the tentacles hit the docks.
“Your hideous megaplexus will never be built! For we are here to insure Squidcity will stand forever!” A third stallion’s voice called as Misty looked at the giant squidbot in terror.
"Huh, a giant robo squid, that's a new one." Manny mentioned with a bit of confusion. “And what's with the old school steampunk look?"
“I have no idea.” Applejack said with a shrug. “But you have to admit, that is a fine mighty skill there.”
A couple of construction ponies were looking at the blueprints. “Looks like we will start building the laser tag park.” The mare said to her partner before the squid bot shadowed over them.
“You are obliterating the pier’s historic history for ‘laser tag’?!” One of the stallions questioned.
"Where would the children crush their pennies, stretch their taffies?!" The second stallion question.
One of the tentacles grabbed the mare. “Carol!” Her partner yelled as another tentacle smashed the blueprints.
“Jade! Help!” Carol cried out before she was brought back down.
“Good day, young miss.” The third stallion said. “Now, run home before you get hurt.” He warned.
Rarity then gasped while the others looked surprised by this. “Showverizum!” She said in shock.
“Okay, what’s this squid problem?” Tender Taps asked in confusion.
“Our deal is the future!” The second stallion exclaimed.
"And our solution is the past!" The third scallion added as Misty looked at the robo squid with a traumatized look while a flashback happened in her head.
Back when Misty was just a little filly before she found the Omnitrix, she was wearing a sailors suit while giving a proud look. “Are you sure you got this, Misty?” A mare asked. “It’s the most important part of the play after all.”
“I think I can handle it.” Misty assured as she walked out to the stage before the light shined on her as the crowd cheered.
“Misty! Look out!” Attea yelled as she pushed the traumatized Misty away to avoid being crushed by a metal pillar.
"Misty, step out of it!" Flash called out as she still had the traumatized look on her face.
"Come on, cus, it's hero time!" Helix called as he was shaking her rapidly.
“Hero time?” Misty asked before she got back and out of her traumatized state as she activated her Omnitrix. “Right.” She said as she then changed into Jetray while Helix activated his watch and transformed into Heatblast.
“Let’s go, cous! That squid won’t know what hit him!” Heatblast declared as they charged at the robo squid.
"Wait did you just say…squid?" Misty asked fearfully as she flew in the air. "Oh boy…"
The squidbot then turned towards them as Heatblast then started blasting at the tentacles, hardly doing any damage while Misty was cringing in disgust while she dodged the tentacles before she and Heatblast stopped at the otherside.
“Oh, you’re pretty fasts, scoundrels!” The third stallion commented.
“We want to know, are you two powerful enough to escape the power of the past?!” The first stallion questioned while a hatchet opened up to reveal three different stallions inside, each of them wearing steampunk clothing. One was a dark orange unicorn stallion with a dark orange coat and a dark red mane and a beard on his face while he had a top hat on his head.
The second one is a pegasus who has a red fur coat and orange mane with a mustache and a monocle on his right eye. Finally, the third stallion is a dark green earth pony with a dark yellow mane while he was wearing glasses. The Unicorn stallion then pulled down a microphone and started to speak into it. “We doubt it! Because how could any fancy pantsy modern technology match for the time tested talents of the Steamers!”
"Whoa, wait, there's a bunch of dudes inside that robo squid?!" Heatblast questioned with confusion.
“We are gentlestallions, not 'dudes'!” The pegasus stallion exclaimed in offensive.
“And this is no squid! This is…” The Earth Pony Stallion started.
“A Clocktopus!” The Steamers yelled before they used a tentacle to whack the two Omnitrix users aside as they screamed and landed in a dump tank.
"Very well done, Steam Wrench and Steam Screw." The earth pony stallion said to the other two.
“Thank you, Steam Wall.” Steam Wrench said with a smile as the Clocktopus then went to the crowd with laughs. “You will all begin to share our appreciation of the past!”
“Watch with shock and awe, as we, with a simple pull of a lever…” Steam Wrench started as he tried to pull a lever, which didn’t budge. “A simple pull of--”
"Did one of you forget to oil this one?" Steam Wall whispered harshly to the other two.
"Come on now, everyone is watching us!" Steam Screw whispered to Steam Wrench.
“I got it! I got it!” Steam Watch said as he got the lever going. “Yes!” He cheered as one of the tentacles lifted up. “We will lay low this hideous shopping mall!” He called as the tentacle crushed the sign and the crowd ran away in fear.
“That good peeper was just a small demonstration of our restoration efforts.” Steam Wall added before he and his brothers were hit by squid popsicles. “Dagh!”
"Uh Sandbar, you really think that's going to help?" Rainbow questioned as Sandbar was throwing the popsicles.
"I got a 'dagh' out of one of them, so that's a start!" Sandbar pointed out before he continued to throw the popsicles.
“He got a point there!” Pinkie added as she joined in with Sandbar at throwing popsicles at the Steamers, which got them annoyed.
“Enough!” The Steamers yelled as the tentacles surrounded the group and caught them by one of the tentacles.
“We will just as well crush you neophytes.” Steam Wrench said.
"Yes, but a gentlecolt would never strike a lady, young one, or even a senior citizen.” Steam Watch said.
“Neophytes?” Applejack questioned.
“Senori citizen?” Delta questioned.
“A lady and gentlecolt?” Rarity asked with a smirk at the compliment. “Ah. A true gentlecolt would provide aggress when he de-slighted another.”
"You dear question our manners, mama?" Steam Wall questioned her as the others caught on to what she was saying.
“Oh, we gotcha, Rarity.” Spike said with a wink. “Yes. You three have offended us, sirs.”
“If we demand satisfaction, we challenge you three to a duel.” Manny said with a smirk.
“We already vanquish all of you. Why would we do it again?” Steam Screw questioned.
"Ture, what the laws of etiquette allow us to choose a champion!" Twilight mentioned with a smirk. "Since there are three of you, we get to choose three champions, and we choose Looma Red Wind, Helix Watch, and Misty!"
"Wait, huh?!" Misty questioned when she overheard her as she and Heatblast were getting out of the dunk tank. But the moment they timed out, she screamed as she fell back in while Looma helped Helix out.
“A duel, ay?” Steam Wrench questioned. “A battle to the greats of yesterday and the business of tomorrow?”
“We accept.” Steam Screw said as he lowered the group down.
"Here are our terms: if we are victorious, you will have to admit that we are the cat's pajamas!" Steam Wall told them, which only confused them.
"The what now?" Helen questioned.
“Secondly, your champions have until noon to prepare.” Steam Wrench added.
“Done.” Delta said as the Steamers went back into the Clocktopus as they waited until noon.
“I’m in a nightmare.” Misy muttered. “I’m in a nightmare.” She repeated as she fell out of the dunk tank while giving a terrified expression while sweating nervously. "Worse, a squid-mare…"
"So, your second real fight on our planet." Helix mentioned to Looma. "You're ready?"
“Ready as I’ll ever be Be--” Looma was cut off when Helen rushed up in front of her and her eyes lit up in flames with a glare to her. “Uh, Helix?” She said sheepishly as Helen retracted.
“Okay, we gotta evacuate the pier before the duel.” Flash spoke up to them.
"Okay everyone, clear out now!" Rainbow demanded but none of the ponies were moving as they were excited to see the fight. “Okay, it’s like the Crystal Empire all over again.” She muttered in annoyance.
"I'M NOT FIGHTING THAT SQUID!!!" Misty shouted fearfully, which almost startled the others.
"It's a Clocktopus." Lolaxx corrected her.
Misty then groaned in frustration. “Whatever!” She called as she walked off as the others were now concern.
“What got you so scared?” Ruby asked.
“Indeed, you’ve been like this ever since we arrived in Squidcity.” Delta said in concern.
"That day…when I was little…in the past…" Misty started as she remembered back to that play.
Back when Misty was in the play, she was doing pretty well so far until it was up to the point where a squid was attacking the boat as two colts lowered fake tentacles down. “Don’t worry, captain! I’ll save us from the Squ--” She trailed off before she yelped when one of the squid tentacles got closed and she grabbed it, but lost her balance as she backed up and crashed the background play with the tentacle on her.
The crowd then all laughed at Misty as she gave a shameful look.
"All the laughter, all the humiliation, I ruined the school play and I've been scared of squids ever since…" Misty finished as Helix was doing his best to hold back his laughter.
Attea elbowed Helix with a brow. “What? It’s a little funny and I was trying to hold it back.” Helix said in defense.
“Misty, we know that day was a little traumatic for you.” Celestia spoke up. “But if I’ve learned anything today is that if you hold onto the past too tightly, it will hold you back.” She said while looking at the Clocktopus, which made her realize that she has to let go of the past to move on. “What you… We need to do, is to make sure those lessons we carry with us help us move forward.” She finished with a smile.
"Dead wrong!" The Steamers said as the Clocktopus rose up.
“The defenders of a foolish future vs the heroes of the past!” Steam Wall exclaimed as they all coughed from the steam.
"Come on Misty, we're going to need your help to beat them." Helix told her as Misty looked at the giant Clocktopus in front of her.
“Let's say, heroes. Shall we rumble?!” Steam Wrench questioned.
Helix ready his Omnitrix while Looma ready her ‘hooves’ but then Misty turned her back to them. “Nope.” She said, which shocked them. “Fights off for me!” She called as she rushed off.
"Wait, what?!" Helix exclaimed as the group of ponies groaned in disappointment before they walked away.
The Steamers laughed in amusement. “How will you handle three Steamers against two champions!?” Star Wall questioned with a smirk.
"Once we are done with you, no one will stand to defend your hideous megaplex!" Steam Wall declared before he got sprayed in the face with a stream of water. "Dagh!"He called out as the group turned and saw Pinkie with a water squirter.
“That is the last ‘Dagh’ you will get out of any of us, pony!” Steam Screw said with a glare.
“You need to cool it, Steamers!” Rainbow yelled out.
“As we already stated, gentlecolts can’t hit ma– Dagh!” Steam Wrench exclaimed but was cut off when he got squirted next.
“Listen here, we're not just any mares! We’re the Council of Harmony, and that’s three ‘Daghs’ from each of you!” Applejack exclaimed.
"As you wish…" Steam Wall growled before they reeled back one of the mechanical tentacles.
Helix and Looma were about to step forward, but then Misty, who transformed into her version of Diamondhead, grabbed the tentacle and held it back. “Misty! You came back!” Fluttershy said with a smile.
“How else would I get those creatures to leave?” Misty questioned.
"Oh, that explains it.” Helix said before he transformed into Humungousaur while Looma removed her ID mask.
Misty then moved the tentacle away as she, Humungousaur and Looma charged at the Steamers, who laughed. “Champions indeed.” Steam Screw taunted as the brothers chased after the three.
“Okay, creatures are saved! Time to run!” Misty exclaimed before she was caught in one of the tentacles.
“Running is not our way!” Looma called before she was grabbed next and then Humungusaur was struggling to hold a few of the tentacles back as Misty looked at the Steamers nervously.
“Don’t look so scared, my girl.” Steam Wrench taunted with a smirk. “We’re merely in brewing you for less respect with a greater age.” He said as Misty had another flashback.
All she could do was hear the ponies laughing as the tentacles were on top of her. "D-Don't worry, captain, I sh-shall save you from th…the squid…" She said as her phobia began to form. “The squid…” She squeaked nervously.
“I can’t do it!” Misty cried out.
“Of course you can’t.” Steam Screw said with a smirk. “Our generation created titanics, hidden bergs! What have you made, fast food and mini malls?” He questioned while Misty started to tear up in fear. "You have nothing worth fighting for!"
"Oh come on, Misty, that play was like five years ago!" Humungousaur called out as he was holding on to one of the tentacles. “Those are memories!”
“It’s time you stop holding onto the past and start looking through the future!” Celestia exclaimed.
“Blasphemy!” The Steamers yelled.
“It’s time to start making new memories! Good ones!” Dust yelled out. Misty shook her head as she clenched her fists.
"Good ones…" She repeated before she had a determined look on her face. "They're right… we have plenty to fight for!" She called as she gave herself determination before she then broke out of the tentacles by making shards. “Like family!”
“That’s the spirit!” Looma called as she easily used her strength to break the tentacles she was caught on before Humungasuar yanked the tentacle he was holding off and tossed it to the ocean.
"Egads! You three may have brawn, brutes, but we have a hide of iron and steel!" Steam Screw told them.
“And seven arms!” Steam Wall yelled as the tentacles latch on them, but Loom grabbed three while Misty and Humungasuar caught two each.
“Six arms vs seven arms?” Humungausuar questioned with a smirk. “That’s not very gentlecolts.” He mocked them before they yanked seven tentacles off, which shocked them.
"There we go!" Misty said before forming a sword with her right arm.
“You cads! With one simple pull of this lever we’ll show--” Steam Screw called as he pulled on the lever, but nothing happened. “W-We’ll show you… Come on!” He exclaimed in annoyance.
“Oh, use oil next time!” Steam Wrench exclaimed as Screw managed to get it going.
“Steam!” The Steamers exclaimed as the Clocktopus managed to regain control as it’s remaining tentacles then attacked as the three dodged them.
“Do you finally understand, fools?!” Steam Wall exclaimed. “The past is coming! And us along with it!”
"Where'd they go?" Steam Wrench asked as they couldn't find them anywhere.
"Children these days, they have absolutely no attention span whatsoever." Steam Screw complained.
Thena beam was tossed, causing the Clocktopus’ head to spin as they gave a yell. “Nice try our little friends! But with one…” Steam Wall called as he pulled a stop lever, but was having trouble. “Simpler… Simple…” He grunted as he and his brother gave yells before they finally stopped while looking a bit dizzy before they growled at the three heroes.
"This is supposed to be a duel, right?" Humungousaur asked as he held a steel beam like a sword. "En garde!"
"En garde, indeed!" The Steamers declared as their Clocktopus grabbed a steel beam and started fencing against Humungousaur.
The two fought a bit before Humungousaur called. “You hit like a squid!” He called as he knocked them back. “Since you're all hot under the collar, you need to chill out!"
Looma then jumped up and delivered a mighty punch, which caused the Clocktopus to fall into the water as the Steamers looked in horror. “Nononono! The exhaust pipes are overflowing with water!” Steam Screw called.
The three heroes jumped down to them, but the three brothers flew up into old classic flying bikes. “How can we be so careless?!” Steam Wall questioned.
"You may have won today…" Steam Wrench called out while panting. "But the war has yet to be won!"
"Next time…you will not be so lucky!" Steam Wall declared before they started to fly away.
"Leg cramp!” Steam Screw complained as Misty and Helix transformed back while they and Looma were in the water.
“Ah, drats. Just when I was making good memories.” Misty sighed as she and her cousin and princess Tetraman climbed back up to the pier with the others.
"Nice job, you three." Twilight praised them with a smile.
“You three put the Steamers in their place, the past.” Celestia added.
“But they’re getting away.” Looma stated to them.
“Let them go, Looma.” Helix said to her. “We’ll get them another day. One thing about bad guys, they always come back.”
"Plus it's more about doing the right thing and stopping the bad guys from doing their evil plot." Helen mentioned as she just turned to the construction site. "They were going to destroy all of this and who knows what else."
“But the most important thing is that Misty stood up to her fear, and she faced it." Delta added. "The Steamers might have gone away this time, but we'll get them another day."
“Yeah, I guess facing the future is a whole lot easier.” Misty said as they watched the Steamers fly off. “Celestia, can I try that ice cream now?” She asked, which made them all smile while they may have not caught the Streamers, but Misty has faced her fears from her past.
