My Little Pony Equestria Girls: An Egg-sellent Adventure

Six hours and 35 minutes remaining...

Vice Principal Luna pushed her foot on the accelerator as hard as she could, causing the bus to bolt forward at near lightning speed. Equestria Land can’t wait. She needs to get her girls there now before all hope is lost. Near the back, the Main/Egg 9 are telepathically talking about their situation and are worried for both Celestia’s sake and how it’s going to get worse for them.

“Okay, this BLOWS! I’m too awesome to spend the rest of my days as a brainless omelet with legs! What if Celestia doesn’t get this cure? We could become science experiments until we go rotten!!!” Rainbow Dash asked, in a mix of concern, anger and fear

“I’m just as worried, Rainbow,” said Fluttershy “But I have hope she’ll succeed and besides even if she doesn’t fully cure us maybe being a sentient egg for the rest of our lives won’t be all that bad.”

Trixie then chimed in herself “Exactly, so what if the cure just prevents us from going mindless? Twilight’s magical counterpart can allow us to do things our new bodies couldn’t, and we’ll be the most Great and Powerful Egg to EVER LIVE!!!” which she concludes by throwing a smoke bomb with her left foot as her character.

Starlight then added her own voice to the conversation “Yeah, and besides Shining and Cadence are with her, so she has some help.”

Twilight then responded her psychic voice though was tinged with doubt “I know, but that also means she had to deal with people like the Dazzlings. They’re horrible and even Cinch. Ugghh, that hag. I don’t even want to think about her right now.”

“Twilight, I understand, but don’t worry. I know Celestia, Spike, your brother, Cadence and the Princess will find a solution and save not just this Easter for everyone but their future as well,” Sunset assured, trying to make Sci-Twi feel better.

“Yeah Twilight,” Replied an eager Rainbow Dash “I’m sure that even Celestia can take down a mean ol’ potty head like Cinch.”

“Thanks Rainbow. That was-” Twilight paused after noticing the weirdly petulant insult out of Rainbow. Normally she wouldn’t say uncool words like that, something was wrong. “Wait a moment, did you just say potty head?”

Rainbow then replied and Twilight and co’s worst fears were confirmed from her reply. “Yeah, because Sinch is a beeg dumb potty head who hates wittle eggs like us and make kids act like poo-poo gwown ups.”

Pinkie then replied next, and the gang's collective heart’s sunk further “Yeahs. She makes eggies do the studies and make brain hurts, eggs should juss pwawty and be happys fowever! No big smarties to bwother them.”

And then of all people next came Rarity who was the least likely to indulge in such notions “Ya ya Pinkee Once weez bee eggs foreva Rareee- Raraito- Rarara-” Her intelligence had plummeted dramatically in such short notice her words where slurred, her grammar butchered, and even her own name gave her trouble but she did manage to finish her sentence “Raraitee well make funny egg faschen for evewyone and it bee Gaa goo boo bee!!!”

“Gaa gaa! Baba booboo gee GOO!!!” Rainbow, Pinkie and Rarity babbled and laughed in unison. And then Rainbow began making mental fart noises to entertain the two of them.

Sci-Twi and Sunset and the others on the bus take notice of that outburst and their worst fears have begun to come alive, made all the more potent by the understated “Oh, no!” Luna lets out and then they realize that the mental regression phase is starting.

Within the mental landscape of the three girls' egg forms the psychic image of the teenage girls began to physically or psychically regress into toddlers. Bone growth reversed, faces shrunk, and hormones ceased flowing in their blood as the abstract yolk encasing them started to grow more solid. All the while, the Ovification curse whispered a siren song praising infantilism and the lack of identity to their minds ringing louder than ever.

“Stop thinking, don’t talk, you don’t need names. You're not humans anymore, you're eggs now, you live solely for joy and be mindless, be childish, be wild abandon maturity and embrace Egghood.”

“Oh, no. Ah’ hope Princess Twilight and the others fix everything soon.” Applejack said, the sight of her three friends’ regressing causing her optimism to lower by the minute

“Boy, you said it!” Starlight replied before issuing a statement to the Vice Principal “Luna, punch it NOW!!! We need to hurry!!” To which she silently nodded and started to put the pedal to the medal, speed limits be darned her students were at stake.

Six hours and 29 minutes remaining...

Principal Celestia, Shining Armor, Cadence and Spike all arrive at their destination a lovely white and purple gothic revival house with the front yard having an immaculately detailed garden with all manner of flowers blooming in full for this was Wallflower Blush’s house and they were here to interrogate her if she has anything to do with the ovification curse.

While Spike is busy literally smelling the roses, Celestia knocks at Wallflower’s door and the shy plant loving girl inched out to answer, “Yes c-come in.” she meekly replied. “Ms. Blush” Celestia sternly uttered “I have come to discuss with you about a series of strange phenomena that has occurred recently."

She cautiously let the let the three adults and dog in and she sat herself down on a large leather chair in front of a dolly clad table.

Shining Armor was particularly impressed by the decor. It was like his dream house came to life and looked perfect for raising a baby girl should they ever want to have kids. Celestia sat herself down and poured herself a cup of darjeeling tea from the table and took a hearty sip. She then said her peace "Around 11:00 am today, while most of the school was on a field trip today, the students had suffered a curse that has turned them into walking eggs that will soon become mindless in due time. So, tell me, Wallflower, do you have anything to do with this?" The green girl's expression shifted to horror at the accusatory remark. "What no... no way I didn't do it, in fact this was the first time I've ever heard something like that.”

“Oh, Really, Miss I GAVE EVERYONE AMNESIA?! Then what have you been doing all morning?” Shining Armor asked his face changed expression as he gave her the stink eye, clearly, he was still rocky over scrubbing his sister of her memories. “Well, I was tending to my flowers and had an Easter party with my friends from the school eco club.” Wallflower responded as truthfully as she could. Cadence then responded in turn. "Well then were your eggs cursed like Celestia's?" "No, everyone one of them was normal with candy and everything in them and the party was also pretty great" Wallflower answered her, saying those words caused a weight to lift from her shoulders.

Celestia sighed with relief, thankful that some of her students remained human “That’s good. Since you have some experience with Equestrian magic due to the whole Memory stone thing, I was hoping to use that to help us find a way to lift the hex plaguing my students, are you ready for it?” Principal Celestia requested.

"Of course!!! I was hoping to get that skeleton out of my closet someday and helping Sunset and her friends after I hurt them so much seems like the perfect way to do it." Wallflower said, and just like that they gained a new ally in helping them reverse this terrible curse.

Six hours and 15 minutes remaining...

The Egg 9 and Luna have finally arrived back in Equestria Land where Swift Sweep eagerly greeted them on their return to the park. “Hello, Ms. Luna. How is your quest?” The acne faced janitor asked. “My sister has gone with the current principal and vice principal of Crystal Prep in search of a cure for the students’ condition, what has transpired in the park since our departure?” Luna asked. “Well sometime after you left, the students have gone crazy like a bunch of hyper five-year-olds and they’re wrecking the park,” Swift Sweep said. “And the navy one, Flash Sentry, he was trying to keep some order but now well…” as Swift Sweep winced, he pointed to Flash Sentry, or what was left of him, playing some kind of footsie, patty cake hybrid game with a pastel yellow egg that used to be Bonbon.

The 10 of them all looked on in horror at Flash’s transformation; they were hoping he could help in maintaining some sense of order and civility here, but those hopes seemed to be dashed very quickly. “Flashy having fun. Rainbow joiwn?” The childish athlete mentally begged her Vice Principal. “Fine,” Luna said, “you can join him.” and just like that, Rainbow bolted off to play with her fellow eggs but just then Pinkie Pie starts getting even more energetic than usual, which is unusual in and of itself. “EGGIES HAVING FUN PINKEE WANNA JOIN NOW WANNA HAVE NUTHIN BUT FUN FUN FUN FUN FUN FUN FUN FUN FUN FUN FOREVAA FUN FUN FUN FUN FUN FUN FUN…” And on she went, as she began bouncing up and done, up and done like a super charged rubber ball which was more than a little concerning.

Sci-Twi begged with her to contain herself “Pinkie Pie stop it you can play with the other eggs later.” No response which was concerning, very much so Sci-Twi decided to delve deeper into her conscious mind, but all she can hear is the echoing void of her mind is the reverberating sounds of laughing children.

“What is this? Pinkie, come in! Can you hear me WHAT'S WRONG?!” Sci-Twi pleaded in terror not wanting to accept the dire implications ever as the childish giggling filled her consciousness. “WHY?! WHY?! WON’T YOU ANSWER DANG IT!!” It was then that Sunset came up behind her and began to stroke the shell of her purple classmate with her left foot to calm her down. “Forget it,” She said with all the blunt force of a lead sledgehammer, “I don’t think that we can reach her.” “BUT WE HAVE TO!!” Twilight screamed out, “IT CAN’T END LIKE THIS NOT WHEN WE’RE THIS CLOSE TO HAVING A CURE!!” “I know how you feel,” Sunset empathetically replied, “But we may need to face the facts. Pinkie's gone Twilight, that's just an egg, a thing... our friend is gone." If Twilight still had eyes, she would be crying buckets right now because there was no Pinkie PIe right now, only a bounding impulse and instinct driven Pink Egg, whose mind was less than even a 3-month-old infant.

“Aww, Pinkee look like havun fun,” Rarity pouted. “Yeah, why Raree and Flootershi didn't join her in da funz?” said Fluttershy now beginning to regress herself. This rattled Applejack immensely as she was worried that she could be next. “Oh no, not Fluttershy! This is bad, this is super bad!!” the ovified cowgirl panicked. “But why did Pinkie go mindless right now?” Starlight queried, “after all, we’re at the park and not even two hours have passed.”

“I think I have a theory.” Sunset explained. “It seems like the speed and rate of those who become mindless depends on their personality, how mature they are, their general mood, overall intelligence etc.” Trixie then speaks up, not surprised by the outcome at all, “Well, Pinkie was always more in touch with her inner child than the rest of us so that explains a lot, And Rainbow’s sore loser tendencies and Rarity being vain likely explained why there were the first to regress as well.” “Yes exactly,” Sunset affirmed, “And by that train of Logic I’m afraid that Twilight, me, and Starlight will be the last to go.”

Luna’s faith in this situation was beginning to falter. If their students were beginning to regress faster than they could find a cure, how could this Easter be saved? She hoped her big sister had a solution, and she began to silently pray for Celestia’s success. “Oh, sister. Please hurry.”

Five hours and 12 minutes remaining...

Meanwhile, Principal Celestia and her group arrive at idyllic Camp Everfree to find more potential allies in their journey, and fortunately today is the day that Juniper Montage is shooting her new student-film with Gloriosa Daisy as the lead actress.

“Oh, hello Celestia. How is your Easter going?” Gloriosa asked, oblivious to the concerned look on Celestia’s face that turned into one of anger at that innocently callous remark.

“Oh, it’s going swell, Ms. Gaia Everfree.” Just then after her acidic reply to the camp’s air became filled with tension the mood changed from a gentle spring breeze to a roiling summer thunderstorm as Gloriosa did not like being reminded of the “incident” at all. “Hey, I’m reformed, and I regret the whole crazy plant woman thing.” “DON’T PLAY GAMES WITH MY EMOTIONS!!!” Celestia yelled out, “I know you and that cinephile Jupiter have tampered with Equestrian magic in the past, so that means you two are prime suspects in the curse that’s turning my students into walking eggs. Did you do something to our eggs?!” Principal Celestia demanded.

The two girls just stood there for a moment crossed glances at each other clearly both of them were more than a little concerned “Walking eggs?” They both thought “Has this lady snapped?” But despite their confusion at the whole situation Cadence quickly calmed Celestia down and explained the situation to the two of them. “To cut a long story short we were on a field trip and our students including my sister-in-law, have been turned into walking eggs and will become mindless husks forever in about five hours unless we find the culprit and cure them.”

“Well,” Said Gloriosa, clearly overwhelmed by the whole story told before her. “You should have said so from the start.” “...and for your information,” Jupiter snootily replied, "No. All I was doing was filming my latest Magnum Opus of a film with Gloriosa Daisy here as the female lead no less.” Juniper replied, her voice showing not only her honesty but also her tremendous ego.

“Oh, I love movies!!” cried out Spike. “What’s it about?” At that question, Jupiter’s smile seemed to grow to twice its normal size. “It is a science Fantasy retelling of one of Greek mythology's most well-known tales. Persephone’s Abduction by Hades. I call it PRINCESS PERSEPHONE'S ESCAPE FROM TARTARUS 9!!! It has everything: action, romance, tragedy, comedy, lost loves, surprise twists, moral conflicts, and an ending you won’t believe!!” Jupiter finished with her smile, still putting a crocodile to shame, clearly, she had high hopes for her project

“Okay… good to know, but first let me see your camera.” Cadence requested, and sure enough she complied, handing it to the Crystal Prep Principal for review in order to check if she was as innocent as she claims.

Cadence and Shining would go over the film together while Spike and Celestia waited but after hearing the strange noises the couple were making, he went to investigate. SPike looked up and saw the pair with frozen faces of absolute disgust and turned to the Screen his face changed to a similar expression. The movie was something to be sure… but at least the innocence of both Juniper and Ms. Daisy can be confirmed. “Well, what do you think?” said Juniper, clearly hoping for praise. Cadence didn’t know how to respond. She knew that this film was well… utter trash was too nice of a word to describe the incomprehensible mess that she saw but she needed to give an answer. “It was…. unique, I appreciate the originality of your vision.” She said to the movie snob to which Juniper’s face glowed at the response. “In any case we know now that you two are innocent so you can go back to your film now.”

“I beg to differ.” said a stern female voice, it was Wallflower. The normally meek gardener was starting to stand up for herself which shocked all present. Juniper and Gloriosa, who have not met her yet, were curious about the nature of this bold girl before them and wanted to talk with her. “Who are you?” Gloriosa inquired. “Wallflower Blush head of Canterlot High’s Eco club, And I was wondering if you two may help us reversing this Egg curse. Are you both in?” Wallflower asked. “Sure,” said Juniper. I need to pay back the girls for the Mirror fiasco and besides it might provide my inspiration for a new movie.” Gloriosa then chimed in herself. “Yeah, and I need to owe up to the Gaia Everfree incident as well, so let’s all work together.” Things were looking up now that they had two new allies, but their next challenge will be nowhere near as easy or amiable.

Four hours and 56 minutes remaining...

Back in Equestria Land, more students/eggs have become mindless, shells of themselves (Pun not intended) as Luna and Swift Sweep race around the park as they were trying to catch the newly mindless Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy who were just wildly running around for the sake of running, the sake of vestibular stimulation.

“Rainbow! Fluttershy! Stop this instant!” Luna requested, but Nothing for her task was to no avail; the two were simply too stupid, too hedonistic and primitive to grasp the concept of identity and names outside of the most rudimentary elements of such things. As far as they were concerned, stimulation and amusement were their one and only concern.

They continued running and running until they suddenly screeched to a halt like a deer in the headlights. As Luna and Swift Sweep stopped to catch their breath, they noticed that the two had stopped near Pinkie, Applejack, Rarity and Trixie (The latter three having long gone mindless about 45 minutes ago).

“Phew, thank goodness those crazy eggs have calmed down. I don’t think I could have gone any longer without collapsing.” Swift Sweep said, his body sweating profusely from the sheer exhaustion of his task. “I agree,” said Luna as she swept the perspiration from her brow. “You know you don’t need to continue helping me, you have done more than enough.” But Swift Sweep was not deterred by that statement. “Are you crazy?!” He said “No one has ever given me that much money since I started working and you're much kinder to me than any of the other patrons, or even my boss and coworkers. Luna, I will stick by your side no matter what because I don’t care about the 15 dollars anymore, I just want to repay your and your sister’s kindness.” Immediately Luna’s expression softened, and she started to smile a little, clearly touched by his earnestness “Thank you, Swift Sweep, but take a break for now, you’ve earned it.” she said and thus he decided to sit down and take a much-needed breather.

Twilight, Starlight, and Sunset the only three sane girls left were also baffled by the scene and noticed the changes in the behavior of their friends, or what used to be their friends. Sure, they were still wandering aimlessly like zombies, but they weren’t running at breakneck speed or breaking everything, and even more weirdly they were staying in near lock step never breaking off and always sticking in formation. “Creepy,” said Sunset, “What’s making them act like that, and not go crazy and run around wildly like the other eggs?” “I don’t know,” Said Twilight, “But maybe I can probe what’s left of their minds and find the answers there.” And so Twilight did just that telepathically delving into the egg white and laughter filled remnants of her friends’ minds, and there she finds an unexpected discovery, the flickering and eroded remains of the memories of their friendship left within them, they’re in there but hazy, not forgotten but not real memories either, like something akin to muscle memory in their cerebellums, So at last it made this situation bittersweet after all even if they become mindless eggs forever they will still be friends.

“Sunset, I got good news, even if they are mindless, they still remember our friendship and all the good times we had?” Twilight said with pure elation. “Okay that is reassuring,” said Sunset, “But how long will they remember those memories?” That Question made Twilight’s metaphorical heart sink a little (She didn’t know if her egg form had a heart within her) But she was still a little hopeful that everything would turn out alright in some way or another. “I don’t really know how long but I hope it’s at least a year, so it may not be as bad as we thought,” she theorized.

Meanwhile Starlight noticed Trixie and Starlight decided to go near her old friend once again in the hopes of drawing something resembling her old personality out. “Hey Twilight,” Starlight inquired. “Is it alright if I go near Trixie and check if she remembers me or anything from her old life?” “Sure,” Twilight consented, “It’s worth a shot.” And so, Starlight went off to converse to Trixie hoping against hope that she was still in there “Don’t worry Trixie I’m coming and if everything goes right and go back to being the Gaa-gaa Babo of Beshtest Fwends!!” and then Starlight’s heart would begin to sink; perhaps she would be joining her Prestigitator friend in mindlessness sooner than she expected.

Twilight Heard this and she would begin to grow even more Anxious by the second. “Oh Celestia, where is that cure?”

“Sure,” Twilight consented, “It’s worth a shot.” And so, Starlight went off to converse to Trixie hoping against hope that she was still in there “Don’t worry, Trixie. I’m coming, and if everything goes right and go back to being the Gaa-gaa Babo of beshtest fwends!!” and then Starlight’s heart would begin to sink; perhaps she would be joining her prestidigitator friend in mindlessness sooner than she expected.

Twilight heard this and she would begin to grow even more anxious by the second. “Oh, Celestia. Where is that cure?”

Three hours and 27 minutes remaining...

The grown-ups and Spike arrive at the local stadium to meet an old foe they never thought they'd see again, The Dazzlings. Apparently after getting defeated by the Rainbooms they journeyed around the country and became a pretty popular Idol group and had money and fans to burn. And now they had returned to town for a new concert this Easter which Celestia found a little too convenient. So Celestia arrived at The Dazzlings’ dressing room and began to pound on the door to it shouting at the pernicious pop stars to open up to her. “ADAGIO!! ADAGIO YOU MANIPULATIVE WITCH! COME OUT HERE AND TALK TO ME!!!” to which she hears a condescending voice from behind oozing with an all too recognizable mix of smugness and sadism. “You could have knocked more gently.” the voice said, and the door was opened and Celestia’s party see’s Adagio, Aria and Sonata getting their nails ready for the big Easter concert.

“Okay, “Dagi.” Spill it!!” Principal Celestia commanded as she slammed Adagio’s vanity desk. “You and I both know you have something to do with the Ovification spell affected my students.”

Adagio smugly replied with a fittingly haughty response. “Why Celestia, you know me too well!! In fact, for your information I-” “OH MY GOSH IT’S THE DAZZLINGS!!!!” The moment that sounds of pure fanboying was uttered; the atmosphere of pure, unfiltered, mutual resentment that consumed the room had faded instead replaced by one of utter perplexment. Because yes that shout came from none other than Shining Armor much to the confusion of the two grown women and one talking puppy. “OH, MISS ADAGIO I LOVE YOU AND YOUR MUSIC SO SO MUCH I OWN ALL YOUR ALBUMS, OWN MOST OF YOUR MERCH, HAVE RECORDINGS OF ALL OF THE COMMERCIALS YOU STARED IN, including that one hot sauce commercial that wasn’t your best, AND I AM ALSO WEARING THREE OF THE T SHIRTS MADE TO PROMOTE YOUR FIFTH ALBUM AFFAIR WITH THE LADY LUCK!!!!” Shining then tore off his clothes to indeed reveal that yes, he was wearing those aforementioned T-shirts on his person looking like an absolute dork all the while. No-one knew what to make of this Celestia was just standing there with her Eye twitching. While Cadence had her face cupped in her hands at the sheer embarrassment of the sight, Wallflower, Juniper and Glorisa were scratching their heads at the sight, and Spike was well Laughing his little doggy butt off at this whole situation. As for the sirens, Adagio's face turned from a healthy yellow-orange to pale white at the site of meeting the dreaded Super fan, and Aria was similarly Horrified and Sonata well she took it better than the rest. “Oh, wow! He must really like us, but isn’t he like married?” Sonata inquired in her usual ditzy manner, to which Aria face palmed herself at the sight of her sister’s sheer idiocy and silently mused to herself about how much of a blessing it was in addition to being a curse.

Adagio didn’t know What to do or say after this but she managed to work up the courage to re-compose her and gulp shake his hand. “Ummm, thank you, esteemed fan for showing us your… dedication.” Adagio said before emitting a nervous chuckle, after that she turned back to Celestia. “Anyways yes, I know of the curse plaguing your brats, in fact I gave the mastermind of this little scheme the spell book they needed to cause everyone in Canterlot High School especially Sunset and her little “friends” to turn into helpless, brainless chicken eggs. But I didn’t cause all that mess though. Oh, sure I did want them all to suffer, and I did help out, but I didn’t do the actual cursing part of the plan. In fact, me, Ari, and Sona were getting ready for our big Easter Sunday show.” she confessed with more than a little hint of malice in her voice.

“Listen, Adagio. I don’t like you and your sisters, especially not after you Mind controlled me and my students and plunged Canterlot high into chaos. But I still need your help. You know more about Equestrian magic than anyone here so please help us turn the children in my care back to normal” Principal Celestia earnestly pleaded. “WAIT WHAT?!?!” Cadence Shouted in protest. “Why should we let these monst-” Before she could finish her sentence her Husband immediately bolted in front of her to offer his own (very biased) opinion on the matter “I approve them joining us on our Heroic Quest Celestia!!” Cadence was not pleased about this in the slightest “Shiny what you doing?! Those monsters are the reason our Little Sister is cursed right now!!” Cadence Whispered into his ear. “Indirectly” Shining retorted “So they are clearly the lesser of Two evils in this situation.” Oh, if he knew the full extent of what those girls/ex-sea ponies have done he would not be as in love with them as he was here.

Adagio’s face changed for a brief moment looking almost sad and even regretful in countenance. Could it be that her time in the human world has changed her for the better? A tempting thought but one that was ruined by what came out of her mouth “PPFFFFFFFTTTTHHHHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA OH OH THAT DUMB FACE YOU MADE BACK THERE!!! Please help me restore the children in my care. OH, OH MY GOD YOU SOUNDED LIKE A MOVIE CHARACTER!!! WHO TALKS LIKE THAT IN REAL LIFE!?!?!?!!” Adagio continued letting loose an epic and mocking laugh at Celestia, which aggravated Celestia so,so much her fist was physically trembling with pure anger right now because she wanted to deck that Siren in her stupid mug so much right now, but she calmed herself down and realized this was something that needed to be solved with Diplomacy. “Yeah, it was kind of stupid. And besides, why should we help you? We won’t save everyone from their little predicament, especially after that time when your “precious students” made us lose our siren magic!” Aria Blaze replied, being stubborn and belligerent as always.

Celestia had to admit Aria was right, but she couldn’t give up. Not here, not now her student’s futures depended on it; she racked her mind for possible answers to her plight. But for every promising outcome she envisioned it turned more unlikely the more she pondered, she grew more and more distraught over the situation until, bing a tiny light of inspiration went off in her head and she knew exactly what to say to these three little menaces. “It’s simple” She said with an understated yet very satisfied and smug grin “If Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle, the only humans who understand equestrian magic better than you become mindless walking eggs, you and your little posse won’t get your siren magic back and you’ll be stuck as humans forever! Do you really want that to happen hmmm?” Celestia’s grin widened at that remark because she knew she had The Dazzlings in checkmate.

Adagio was sweating bullets right now. She knew it was a trap, she knew she would regret this in the future. But oh, how she wanted to get her magic back and return to Equestria and brainwash those stupid land ponies!! To make them grovel before her, to break them, to force them to drink the seawater she swam in!! But now she was at an impasse. She really wanted to get her magic back, but she also did not want to give Celestia the victory. At this moment she decided the best option was to give a non-committal response “Uh, I don’t know about that… I’ll think about it…” Adagio said, not hiding her nervousness in the slightest. Her sisters however were much more pliant “NO!!!” Aria and Sonata Shouted “Dagi, you need to help; I don't want to spend the rest of my days as a weak little human!!” Aria begged.

“Please, Dagi? We have to help them out. It’s worth the risk.” Sonata pleaded, then her and Aria gave Dagi their secret weapon, the dreaded Puppy Dog Eyes and at that she couldn’t refuse.

“Ugh, fine. We’ll help” Adagio said, very annoyed, “But I’m only doing this because my magic powers are on the line. And just like that Celestia was one step Closer to saving her students even as the eleventh hour drew near.

Two hours and 32 minutes remaining...

Back at Equestria Land, Vice Principal Luna starts to pace anxiously, her stomach growing heavy with concern and her mind racing with images of every worst-case scenario her sister could encounter, worried that Celestia may not make it in time. As almost every egg in the park was mindless and very hyper causing no end of trouble.

Sci-Twi and Sunset, now the only conscious eggs left, have a telepathic chat with each other. “Sun Sun?” Twilight asked. “Iz Celeestiuh gonna make da cure and make uz hoomanz again?” She asked, her personality having regressed to that of a two-year-old but her mind is still sharp enough to have semi-normal conversations with others.

“Don’t worry, Twi-Twi.” Sunset said, her speech similarly infantile. “Celly gonna come with Prin-Prin Twi Twi’s cure and make uus all hoomanz again.” Twilight was relieved at that sight, but then Sunset said something that concerned her a little. “But we go maindloss no seem to bad, ebewyone iz all happies all da time, no wowwiez about homewek, datez or utha teen stuff, It kinda…” Just then Sunset noticed thinking became much harder for her and realized two things, her time is up, and she must embrace the inevitable.

“Thinkin’.... Tooo hawd…. Me forget name. See… you… soon… Twi-Twi…” and this she walks off to join her ovified friends, knowing her mindlessness has finally come.

However, Twilight would not accept it “SUN-SUN!!! SUN-SUN!!! COMW BWACK!!!” No reply, only Laughter like all the others. She knew that she was next… so she kneeled down and began to sob. “Me no wanna forget being Twi-twi, Me like being teen, Me like being hooman, not wanna be egg yet..” But fate had other plans for her as within the mindscape she began to regress into a newborn and as one last act of defiance against the encroaching non sapience sent a Mental cry to all who would listen. "Spikey, Celly, Lulu, Mama. Me scared, please help me..." Just then after that the last plea for help the mental Twilight de-aged and shrunk more not even an infant, she was now a mindless embryo that shrunk and shrank and shrunk until *poof* There was no person left. There’s only a yellow sphere rumbling in a psychic void white as lead carbonate and then that void begins to move. The tittering of gleeful toddlers, the bubbling of egg white, the jostling of its yolk. That was what the Purple Egg knew now.

Because for all intents and purposes, Twilight Sparkle was gone, erased, dead. Now there was only Purple Egg because that was it, a simple living ovum with legs.

One with a simplistic mind and a sub infantile consciousness verging on true-non sapience. It had no concept of gender, names, humanity, language, science or anything from its old life really. The Purple Egg loved that, it loved being mindless, it loved being a living object, it loved being an egg. Because on some level, Purple Egg knew there was a time it was hatched and then it was no longer an egg, and it had to deal with a bunch of nasty grown up stuff, it was icky but now it was back to being an egg. and from now on it lived only to be an egg to wander to play and mingle with its egg friends, so Purple Egg went to play with its fellow mindless eggs Green Egg, Red Egg, Cyan Egg, Indigo Egg and all the other eggs in the fun place they were in, and it's instincts hoped that this would last forever."

One hour and fifty-five minutes remaining...

The Manehatten Academy for Society’s future upper stratum. One of the most prestigious and legendary boarding schools in the country. For over 150 years it has dedicated itself to cultivating the greatest politicians, scientists, judges, entrepreneurs and other great people who would shape society for decades to come. This was a School that prized tradition and history but was also a very orderly, disciplined and almost militaristic school where adherence to authority and tradition was rewarded and individuality was punished and ridiculed. Even more so following the arrival of it’s newest vice principal, one Abacus Cinch, rendering this the final stop on Celestia’s Journey bringing with her, Crystal Prep’s Principal and the principal’s husband, SPike and several reformed (And 3 non-reformed) Villains into the Lobby as quickly as possible. Entering the school they found its interior was far more luxurious than Canterlot could ever be, Pure gold and marble statues of past alumni of historical renown are everywhere, a running fountain in the center that wouldn’t look out of place in a public park, A JUICE BAR!!! All of a Sudden Celestia felt very very very small. Adagio then noticed the envy building in the Principal and could not resist the urge to tease her about it. “Jeeeeeaaaaallllllloussssssss much?” Adagio said in a ridiculing tone. “Shut up!!” Celestia said “Or I’ll throw you back to the ocean depths that spawned you!!!” To which Adagio gave her a raspberry.

Thanks to Cadence uploading the school’s floor plan on her phone ahead of time, they were making good progress though that didn’t mean there were a few hassles on the way to the VP’s office. The first of these was a pair of snooty rich girls who did not like the looks of Wallflower and the other “Plebeian Students” that came here with them. “I must say Perfect Poise,” said one girl with grey skin and silver and yellow hair “Are those Plebeians walking around in our school?” “Indeed, they are Platinum Ingot,” said Perfect Poise, who possessed a deep magenta skin tone and raspberry red hair, “I do believe they might be trying to become students here.” I see,” Ingot replied “Though considering their standing in life they would be better applying for positions as Servants instead!!!” THe two then let loose an incredible haughty laugh you know the one. Wallflower cringed at the sight of it. “I am starting to hate this school, so much right now.” She grumbled to herself. Juniper noticed and pecked her up a little. “Don’t worry, Wallflower, we won't be here for long.” At least that’s what she hoped.

But then a more substantial roadblock appeared in their path, a Very large and Very muscle bound secretary by the name of Lunk, the newest Lacky of Cinch and he would be somewhat difficult to surmount as he prized procedure above all else. Lunk adjusted his small glasses with his large and surprisingly dexterous hands and noticed ten uninvited visitors at his desk and approaching his employer and knew that he must do on his many sacred missions, Vetting them through paperwork. “WHOA WHOA WHOA THERE!” Lunk shouted out “I Don’t who you are, or what you're doing here but I can tell that you want to go see my boss without following the proper procedures and one thing’s for sure you gotta go through me.” Celestia grunted at this because she A. did not have time for this and B., she was certain that the moment she drove away from Wallflower’s house Her and Cadence set an appointment for today. “Lunk, it’s me Celestia, Principal of Canterlot High, I called you literally five hours ago.” “Well then I think you might be right let me just check the file of you that I made, you know I really love filing things it’s like with that one Jamaican guy on TV, It’s my life's calling one might even say, I even came up with a personalized system of sorting it’s starts with date of birth, then it goes to…” the younger girls zoned out while Lunk continued discussing his love of filing and his system, Which impressed Celestia as she did not believe anyone could love bureaucracy in the way that this man did. But Spike was different, his owner and sister figure were going to metaphorically Die, and he was not going to let anything get in the way of that, so he walked forward. “Spike what are you doing?” Cried out Cadence. “I know what I’m doing, trust me okay.” The puppy hopped up to his desk and began to talk with him. “Sup big guy I heard you big into categorization.” Lunk raised his eyebrows at the sight but took it better than most “Wowzers, a Talking dog!! I heard about someone like you from the Boss-lady. I mean I Thought it was like a ventriloquist act but color me surprised!! Looks like it wasn't one of her crazy ramblings at all.” Spike stopped a little to process what Lunk just said before responding. “Hold up, crazy ramblings?” “Yeah, I know Cinch went a little cuckoo after the Canterlot High Friendship Games, I don’t know if it was because she was a Sore loser, or the stress got to her, but she kept going On and on about this magical world of Talking ponies and Dragons and what not. HA!!! What a riot that Cinch.” Spike knew that if the Princess or Sunset were here, they would have some very strong things to say about that, but he remained focused on his tasks and knew exactly what to do. “So, you said you’ve memorized everyone’s date of birth huh?” Lunk nodded eagerly to Spike's Question. “Great, tell me what her date of birth is?” Spike pointed his left forepaw at Gloriosa and Lunk began to immediately screen his files for the proper data and then he found it and said, “It’s June 14th, 1997” “Very good Lunk,” Spike said “..and her dates” Pointing to Wallflower, he replied instantly “August 8th, 2002." “Amazing, Lunk,” said Spike. “You deserve a reward for such diligence, how about this ball?” Lunk then jumped up like a 4-year-old in response to the Red Rubber Spike pulled out from his “Pocket?” “Oh, A ball. Oh, I love balls!” Lunk reached out to grab it and he did but he also grabbed it so hard it recoiled out of his hands. He tried picking it up again only for the same outcome to repeat itself, and again and again, much to his frustration “Accursed spheroidal menace!!!” Lunk began to repeat the motion with greater frequency until it started to bounce around the hallway “GET BACK HERE, YOU WONDERFUL, YET ANNOYING BOUNCING FORBIDDEN FRUIT!!!” Spike rubbed his color for a Job well done all the while the Celestia and her cohorts were stunned by what Spike just did. “How did you do that?!” They asked in unison. “Simple,” Spike explained “I watch a lot of cartoons with Twilight, and I knew his type: Big muscles and small brain, but enough talk. We gotta save Twilight."

After the Lunk Incident the time finally entered Cinch’s office only to notice something was wrong with the woman herself. “CELESTIA MY OLD ACQUAINTANCE OH AND BROUGHT THE BROTHER AND SISTER-IN-LAW OF ONE OF MY STAR STUDENTS HOW DELIGHTFUL COME ON SIT DOWN, SIT DOWN!!” Cinch was nice, as in the creepy nice that’s usually reserved for Hollywood types, so Celestia cautiously accepted. “Thank you, Abacus,… you didn’t have to do this much for me.” “Nonsense” The normally inflexible Vice principal said “I’d do anything to help a fellow educator so tell me about this “Curse your experiencing” Celestia relayed her story to Cinch but while she talked Spike wandered off and noticed a large brown trench coat covered in what looked like glitter so he went to investigate and upon looking at so that it looked familiar, He took a sniff and it reminded him of the weird scent of the easter eggs… Twilight and him found….. Horror then gripped Spike’s mind as Cinch began to bring out a strange pedant, but then at the eleventh hour he said. “CELESTIA GET AWAY NOW SHE’S TRYING TO TRICK YOU!!!” Immediately Celestia vaulted out of the oak chair she sat in as Cinch blew some dust in her direction. Thankfully, she escaped just in time to witness the chair transform into a large wooden egg. “Rats,” The principal grumbled with the venom Celestia remembered. “I missed.” “Abacus so you are the-” “Yes Yes Yes I am.” Cinch proudly admitted but then she grew more and more deranged as she spoke “YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YEEEEEEEESSS! IT WAS ME CELESTIA!! IT WAS ME!!! IT WAS ME ALL ALONG!!!!

This behavior was more than a little disturbing, The Abacus Cinch Celestia remembered, was cold, aloof, focused and reserved, not a rambling madwoman straight out of the superhero comics she read as a little girl, but before she could come up with an answer Cadence shouted out her own through teary eyes. “WHY CINCH WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO CHILDREN OF ALL THINGS!?!?!”

At that moment, Cinch snapped her head to Cadence Like an owl that spotted a succulent mouse and began to go on a truly unhinged rant that left everyone sick to their stomachs. “WHY!?!?! WHY?!!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!!?!? Oh, I’ll tell you why. IT’S REVENGE OF COURSE!!!! Not just against your school, but one teeny tiny student in particular: our darling TWILIGHT SPARKLE OF COURSE!!?!” The hate that came out of her after mentioning her name in particular was visible for all. “IT WAS BECAUSE OF HER THAT I LOST EVERYTHING MY POSITION AT CRYSTAL PREP!!! MY PRESTIGE!!! AND THE WORST PART NO BELIEVED ME WHEN I TOLD THEM ABOUT A WORLD OF MAGIC AND RIDICULED ME, THEY ALL CALLED ME CRACKPOT AND WHEN I DECIDED TO DISCIPLINE MY WRETCHED HUSBAND FOR ATTEMPTING TO CHALLENGE WHAT YOU AND I BOTH KNOW IS TRUE THAT INGRATE SENT ME TO A MENTAL HOSPITAL **sobs** but I got out and I knew what to do get rid of her. “I know she loves Snort neeerdy books and science and computers, and smart stuff. And I decided what a great pleasure it would be in robbing her of such a gift by turning her into a snack on legs and her friends get to join her. “Friendship is Magic” more like “FRIENDSHIP IS BREAKFAST!!!”

Cinch let loose a maniacal laugh that reached the heavens; it was then that they all knew for fact that she was insane. Certifiably, utterly mad. Even Adagio was disgusted by this, sure she was evil, but she had some morals and was one of the lines she dared not cross. “I will stop you for this.” Celestia stated matter of factly with a stance indicating she was willing to die for the children in her care. “Oh Celestia” Cinch pined “So brave, so Strong, SO READY TO BE MADE INTO AN OMELET!!!!” Cinch opened up her pendant again and blew a Cloud of curse dust in her direction she accepted her apparent fate but before it could reach her… Celestia NO!!!" In an uncharacteristic show of selflessness from Adagio she jumps in front of the dust cloud but suffers the price as she, Aria, and Sonata all become walking eggs. "Aaah, looks the big bad sea monsters aren't as hard boiled as I thought!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!" But as Cinch was gloating the Sirens charged her. After all, they were now 5 '6 tall giant eggs with rather hard shells and legs so they decided to take advantage of that and send the principal reeling to the floor. Celestia then grabbed the pendant that fell off her person and grabbed before joining the Egg dogpile and making her demands to the Demented educator. “TELL ME WHERE THE SPELLBOOK FOR THE CURSE IS SO I CURE MY CHILDREN OR I WILL TURN YOU INTO AN EGG AND LEAVE YOU TO WASTE AWAY AND BECOME INANIMATE!!! Cinch then replied in a mocking sing-song “I’m not gonna tell you, I’m not gonna tel you.” all of a sudden Celestia’s rage turned from red hot to ice cold as she realized this wretched woman was beyond salvation. “I see well it was nice knowing you.” Cinch’s deranged grind faded and turned to fearful expression as she realized what was coming “Wait, Celestia what are doing? Don’t do this your not this kind of person I-I Know this right? Hehehe Right?!” Celestia took a deep breath and was ready to inhale into the curse dust until “STOOOOOP STOP IT I DON’T WANNA BE AN EGG THE BOOK IS ONE THE TOP OF THE LEFT BOOKSHELF SPARE PLEASE!!! OH, PLEASE I’M SORRY!!!” Celestia stopped, closed the pendant backup and gestured for the Dazzling eggs to leave the room. “That’s all I needed to hear, Shining Armor?” Shining pulled a bundle of rope they have been saving for just such an occasion and after hearing how much this one woman loathed his sister, he was eager to try it out. “Don’t worry this produce won’t hurt…much.”

One hour and 48 minutes remaining...
The moment Celestia told Princess Twilight she got the spell book she warped over to Manehatten Academy and began working overtime to whip a cure. The adults and reformed students watched not Shining armor and spike they were watching over a bound Cinch.

Meanwhile, the Dazzling eggs were sitting down waiting to be tested for the cure with Adagio rapidly stepping her foot down waiting for her to be done mixing. Eventually however, the princess was finished and whipped up a cauldron full of bubbling lime green sludge, the apparent cure for their condition, but it needed to be tested. So, she walked over to the Dazzling eggs and took a deep breath “Here goes everything.” said the Princess as she tossed the mixture on the Pop Idols, at first nothing but then their shells began to bulge and warp and bloat until… BOOM they exploded out in a shower of shell bits and albumen revealing the Dazzlings alive, but naked and miraculously not covered in egg white. “Oh, my sun!! It works, It works!!!!” the princess jumped in glee that she was able to make it work in such a short time though she did wish for it to be a little less explosive, Celestia realized she hadn’t yet thanked Adagio for all her hard work. “Thank you Adagio it meant a lot” The siren then poutted and blushed. “Don’t say that I just did it for getting my magic back, not because I like you.” She wasn't fooling anyone, not even her own sisters. Maybe she did have a heart after all. But then Celestia felt a sharp pain in her Mind and then heard a familiar voice, Twilight’s voice "Spikey, Celly, Lulu, Mama. Me scared, please help me..." She was in peril and Celestia knew she needed to Move it. “Oh no… TWILIGHT'S IN DANGER! WE NEED TO GO KNOW!!!” The princess fortunately was prepared for this. “I managed to put the cure sludge into these leaf blowers, just fire them at the eggs and their cured until then, Good luck and Good bye everyone.” Princess twilight warped back to the mirror and to and Celestia was getting ready for her do or die moment. “Cadence” she said “How long do we have until the curse is permanent?” Cadence looked at her smartwatch and it was grim “1 hour and forty-five minutes.” Celestia knew time was not her side so her ragtag team jumped in her care and off they went to Equestria Land to save the students and Easter before it was ruined forever.
