G-Deal

A brown Pegasus stands still while watching the sun set once more as hoofs approach, she's heard this sound hundreds if not thousands of times from so called ‘hero’s’ who wanted to slay her but fail, or small fouls who just want a good view of the sunset before returning home, turning behind them she sees a gray pony.

“Are you another 'hero' here to face me? or are you just enjoying the view?” she asks the stranger.

“The boss wants you.... you must be the Pegasus he made the deal with, am I right?” the gray pony exclaimed.

“That is correct.... wait how do you know?” she asked, confused on how the pony knew who she was.

“Because. I'm one of his loyal admins.” the gray pony explained.

“Really? You don't seem strong enough to be an admin...” the Pegasus taunted.

“HAY, DON'T YOU MOCK ME!!!” yells the gray pony angry at her.

“Oh please... I could take you down in a single kick!” she taunts, smugly smiling.

“you’re lucky I’m not allowed to fight you right now,” The pony mutters under their breath. “Anyways follow me” they say as they open a portal behind them.

“Alright fine... I'll follow you.... but only because I want to know more...” the Pegasus said as she stepped through the portal, when the gray pony Steps through the portal after her, he changes appearances to a human.

“This way” he said leading the Pegasus, reluctantly she nods and continues to follow him.

“So where are you taking me?” she asked him.

“To the elevator so you can meet the boss.” He answers.

“Really? and how high does the elevator go? Or... how far down does it go?” she asked with a hint of young curiosity in her voice.

“It goes...." -he paused for a bit to think- "actually, that is a good point, the boss just keeps adding more floors every so often, last time I checked it was 55 floors up and 50 floors down.”

“Damn.... that's a lot of floors.... anyway, how long is this elevator ride going to be?”

“Well at most 5 minutes, at least 5 seconds”

The Pegasus ever so slightly chuckles “so it's either really fast or slow.... got it....”

He stops by the elevator and starts to explain. “I'm afraid right now I can't go with you, the boss wants to speak with your privately.”

She nods knowing that she's going to have a one-on-one talk with this Boss, “aright then... see you somewhere later....” she says stepping onto the elevator, the doors close as the elevator starts to go quickly up. “Okay.... let's see where this leads....”

she leaned against the elevator and waits for it to stop, or even if something else happens, the elevator stops, the doors open revealing a room full of books with a mix between a thrown and an office chair at the end of this hallway with an office desk, the Pegasus steps out of the elevator and looks around a bit before walking past the books on the sides “....so this what the boss' office looks like huh? I like it I suppose....”.

“Welcome, as you would know I've been expecting you” he said as he looks back on her and turns his chair to face her.

“Figured as much...” -she looked over at him- “So... I'd assume you have something you want to discuss with me then?”

“Correct, you see one of the locations I rule over has recently been attacked by some fools, and they cut communication off, I need you to check the place out and if possible, deal with it.” He explained, his tone one of anger.

“Ah... I should have figured...” -she nodded as she listened to his request- “So... do you know what attacked this place of yours, or who they are?”.

“There from my universe, their called team rocket, their boss being Giovanni” he explained.

She makes a mental note of their names “Team Rocket? and their boss being Giovani? got it... So where is the location that needs the help?”,

“Whilst its name is area 9-71, to those there it's called Multi-Apple or Mulple for short, mostly named after the princess there.”,

She makes another mental note about it, “Area 9-71, also known as Multi-Apple or Mulple by the locals, the name coming from the ruling princess. Alright then.... guess I'll have to go there and take care of those 'Team Rocket' guys, and whoever the hell this Giovani guy is.”

He then spins their chair, so the back of the chair is facing her, “good luck, even though you probably won't need it." They turn their head back to the Pegasi "oh and, Scootaloo. DO NOT LEAVE until you have made sure to reestablish communication or else.” He says with a voice of malice and warning.

“Yes I know I need to make sure I reestablish communication before leaving, I know that much.... Anyway... I'll get on it right away... I'll go and take care of those Team Rocket losers then I'll come back here alright? you got my word.”

She then enters the elevator, the doors close, and it quickly goes down.” Hmmmm.... well... let's see if I can find Team Rocket and this Giovani guy... I'll probably have a few obstacles in my way, but I can deal with them... Anyway, lets hurry this along shall we....” the elevator stops but doesn't open, “Hmmm? What the hell...?” The intercom turns on as the admin from before starts to explain.

“Umm sorry, we seem to be having some technical issues... again and due to this the elevator is going to have to be dropped to the bottom ground to be repaired, luckily the bottom floor is one of the portal rooms that will send you to the designated area”.

“Oh for crying out loud....” she grumbled as she waits for the elevator to drop to the ground, which it dose as suddenly the elevator falls extremely fast before crashing into the ground, somehow without taking damage “....well that certainly was one heck of a drop just now... hopefully the elevator is fixed soon....” -the elevator doors open and she steps out- “Alright let's find a portal and get a move on...”

of course, the portal is in a big room just Infront of the elevator, with Multiple controls, the portal however is already open, she walks up to portal “Well that solves that problem... alright here we go then.... I hope this goes well or whoever that Giovani person is going to be having words with me....” -she shrugs and walks into the portal and hopes nothing bad happens and ends up in a back ally, she glances around and remarks- “Oh, I wasn't expecting to be teleported to what appears to be an ally way.... well, I guess it could be worse, could be in the middle of a random town or city....”

''Scootaloo steps out of the alley way and looks around for Team Rocket and/or Giovani, however, she doesn't have to look for to see that there's a bunch of propaganda about joining team rocket, there's even some stupid grunts putting them up. She smirks as they watch the grunts putting up the Team Rocket propaganda. “Heh... what a bunch of losers just blindly following someone and their plans.... and they are even making and putting up propaganda too.... what a pathetic bunch of fools....”

''may as well take those idiots down she thinks to herself, shrugs and walk up to the grunts “Hey there you losers.... putting up so much propaganda ain't gunna convince anyone to join your little group, hell your name itself sounds like it was thought out by a bunch of three-year-olds at snack time....”

In fear, two of the grunts send out some sort of creature's, one being a purple rat and the other being some sort of eyeless bat. the rest of the grunts running away “Tch, and they run away... just like the cowards they are....” they roll their eyes “Anyway.... I'll make quick work of you two”

They get ready for the fight, the two grunts yell out orders, due to them yelling at the same time she had no idea what they said, the rat and bat attacks with its teeth trying to bite her, she takes note of the attacks while dodging them to get a better understanding on how the creature's fight

“Alright then.... let's put an end to this quickly....” Scootaloo said, using their wings to create some powerful gusts of wind to knock both creatures back, they slam into a wall and faint, the grunts terrified start to run off “Huh... surprised that was all it took to make them pass out.... now then... where the hell is Giovani at?” she Looks at those propaganda posters, their even worst then she though.

Their racist agent ponies and a majority of other spices, they're even planning to overthrow the current pony princess “Really.... racist against ponies?... trying to overthrow their current princess, really?” -she rolls her eyes as they read through more and more of the propaganda, reading it, looks like Giovanni is going to be at the event, which is today, looks like the perfect time to deal with them, she nods to herself as they continue to read over the propaganda- “Alright.... let's see.... oh, their leader is going to be at the event huh? that's great then.... I'll get to deal with that Giovani person and destroy their little organization of his at that event....” -they smirk to themself as they start making their way to the event that was mentioned-

Making her way there, she spots a big crowed of team rocket grunts watching a screen “Oh, what are they looking at on the screen?” she gets closer while staying out of sight as they look over the team rocket grunts that watching the screen, the screen is a live recording of who is probably known as Giovanni who's already in the castle probably looking for the princess the screen is a live recording of who is probably known as Giovanni who's already in the castle probably looking for the princess, her eyes widen at the sight of who is most likely Giovani is already in the castle looking for the princess .

“He's already there?!... tch, of course he is.... I'd better hurry and get there....” she starts moving to get to the castle, flying in she hears the echoes of Giovanni as they look for the princess:

"-And yet, you have the nerve to disrespect me when we both know you can do nothing. You're just like a child pretending to be an adult." Giovanni says looking for the princess.

Scootaloo couldn't help but roll their eyes at what he said, “What a pompous jerk he is.... I can't stand people like him.... if he's already attacking and harassing the poor princess than he really must be full of himself....” Scootaloo continues their way to the castle as they keep following the sound of Giovani's voice

The echos of the princess bounce throughout the castle "N- No I am not! I am telling you to get out, you are not the boss of me, and I don't care who you are or say you are, you are just a bully and a jerk that just like to terrorize people and make yourself feel more powerful when you are not! I am not scared of you and won't give into you, you're just nothing but a weakling. You don't scare me, and you never will, you get it!"

"You keep yapping on and on, but I'm not hearing anything intelligent. What's worse is that you don't respect me despite how much I tell you to. Fine, I'll make you respect me by force. I will make you understand what kind of man I am, even if it takes all day. In the name of Team Rocket! Prepare for the inevitable!" Giovanni said Approaching closer.

Scootaloo smirks as she gets ready to confront Giovani, knowing it's the right time to do so they make their entrance “HEY! LEAVE THE PRINCESS ALONE YOU COWARD!!!”.

"Who the hell are you? Do you think you can beat me? I'll beat you up with my ground-types. Let me introduce you to my Rhydon!" Giovanni says sending out a creature that looks like a rhinoceros if it wore armor made of rocks.

“Ha! Bring it on, coward! My wings will destroy your Rhydon and that pitiful team rocket you run!” Scootaloo says using their wings to send a barrage of powerful wind blasts at Rhydon,

"Fwahaha! Your attacks are weak! Rhydon, use Focus Blast on the Pegasus!" Scootaloo roll their eyes and shake their head as they watch Rhydon preparing its Focus Blast.

“You think your Rhydon's Focus Blast can stop me? pfft, you haven't seen my wings in action yet....” they use the massive air pressure created by their powerful wings to redirect the Focus Blast back at Rhydon.

“W-What?! You were able to reflect my Attack so easily? No matter. Rhydon, use Earthquake!” Giovanni says angerly.

scootaloo chuckle's “Earthquake? You do realize that's a powerful move that will take the whole room down, including you, down with it right? Are you that foolish?” they say preparing themselves for the earthquake.

“Who cares? I'll do whatever it takes to beat you! Don't underestimate the determination of Team Rocket! Rhydon, Earthquake at full force!!” the castle starts to rumble. welp time to find, get the princess and get out she thinks to herself, after all she is in the room right next to them where they are in the hallway.

“Tch, of course you're that foolish.... I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, fools like you are willing to do whatever it takes even if it means their own demise.....” -they look into the room nearby the hallway- “I better get the princess out of the castle before it collapses.... “ Scootaloo rushes into the room the princess is in, the room is too dusty to see the princess clearly, but she can still see her silhouette they walk over to the princess, coughing in the dusty room from Rhydon's Earthquake

“Hey! Princess! Let's get outta here before Team Rocket tears the castle down in their foolish attempts to beat me! Quickly! Grab on to my wings and let's get outta here!” -the princess grab onto Scootaloo's wings. - “Alright, hang on tight! This will be a bumpy ride!” they say spreading their wings and with a powerful flap of her wings, create a powerful wind gust to blow some of the dust away before flying through the hole Rhydon made through the castle's upper floors.

“Alright, there we go! We're out!”

“W- Wow... We... We are actually out... thank you so much” the princess takes a second to gag from the dust and rubble “... for saving me.”

looking back at the princess Scootaloo recognizes who the princess is, it's her old friend apple bloom, their eyes widen in disbelief “Apple Bloom... is that you?”

Apple Bloom recognized the voice realizes who saved her, and who she was seeing “Huh? Wait... N- No... It can't be... Scoot- Scoot... Scoot... Scootaloo!?”

“Apple Bloom.... is that really you? I can't believe it... it's been such a long time since I last saw you and Sweetie Belle.... how have you been? how is Sweetie Belle?” Scootaloo yells as she goes up to Apple bloom and hugs her tightly.

Apple bloom Hugs Scootaloo tightly back, “Wh- Scoot? Is it really you? I- You have no idea how much I've been looking for you... I- I've been okay I guess... But it's been too long without you and Sweetie Belle... I really want to see Sweetie Belle... Do you know where she is?”

“No... I don't know where she is unfortunately.... I've been trying my hardest to find you and Sweetie Belle.... it's been.... really lonely.... but since I was able to find you.... I know I'll find her too.... it's just really, really good to see you again, Apple Bloom...” Scootaloo smiles happily, “Don't worry... We will find her together! I know we will! Because we are best friends, and nothings can stop us when we're together. We will find her... I know we will. B- But seriously... I am so glad to see you again... You have no idea how much I miss you...”. However, as much as she wants the hug to last, she can hear Giovanni ordering his Rydon to attack again.

“I missed you too, Apple Bloom.... but we gotta handle that idiot Giovanni before we can go find Sweetie Belle.... he's just gonna keep harassing you otherwise....” -looking back however, both Giovanni and his Rydon are unable to move like something is preventing them from doing so, she also hears a clanking sound with heavy footsteps. - “Woah... what's going on, why isn't he moving?” she asked looking around for the source of the clanking and footsteps.

“I'll handle this now” the boss said as he walked closer to Giovanni.

“Wait! Boss?! what are you doing here?! and what's going on with Giovanni?!?” Scootaloo asked him.

“Well, usually I don't interfere with the tasks I've given to others, you seemed to have unintentionally completed your task.” The boss replies.

“I did? wait, you're talking about me stopping Giovanni from harassing and attacking that princess, right? so that's why he can't move... it's because of you?” Scootaloo asked her boss curiously.

“Well technically my crystal, but since it 'obeys' me, yes, now if you excuse me, I have to go deal with Giovanni.” they said before walking closer towards Giovanni with a clank in their step.

“Oh, alright..... guess I'll just watch then....” Scootaloo said as she watched him approach the frozen Giovanni and wait for him to deal with the Rocket jerk.

"What the- Scoot... How come you look older and more matured than usual? You're taller than me now and everything." Apple bloom asked.

“Honestly.... I have no idea...... all I remember was being offered a deal of having big wings... and in exchange I would obey that person and... next thing I know my wings grew bigger... I grew taller... and look like an adult now.... I just... don't know what happened..... all I remember is.... I was alone on a mountain.... and I had no idea where you or Sweetie Belle was....” Scootaloo replied.

“Wait... you had no idea to, huh?... So that mean... we were both in the same situation of waking up someplace else only to feel abandoned and alone. But still... you look even more mature and older... like if a few years passed by and you're aging faster than me and the others...You sure you feel, okay? No headaches or body aches? No bad feeling or strange emotions you can't explain?” apple bloom asked with a hint of worry in her voice.

Scootaloo pauses to think for a bit as they listen to what Apple Bloom said, trying to figure out if they feel any weird feelings “I can't say I have any... at all.... I certainly feel older and matured than how I felt before.... but I guess I don't feel anything really off about it.... or at least I don't think so...”

Apple bloom Sighs relieved her friend wasn't feeling bad, "At least you're feeling okay... That's good at least... Wait! Does that mean you can fly!? I know you already have your wings before... but with them being that big, does that mean you can finally fly now!?" apple bloom asked excitedly.

“Yeah.... in fact, I've... been flying since I was... 'transformed' I guess you can say...” -Scootaloo said as she looked behind themselves for a second, looking at their big wings for a second before looking back at Apple Bloom- “Honestly, my new bigger wings feel like... a part of me as if they've always been this big....”

"That's awesome! I mean when we were younger... You always wanted to fly and be able to fly so bad... And now you can! It's so awesome and I am so glad that you actually can fly now... You can finally experience what's it like to go flying through the trees and the birds like you always wanted!" Apple Bloom says excitedly, but before scootaloo could reply she can hear the clunks of the bosses' footsteps approach.

“Oh! Right, I almost forgot about the boss and Giovanni....” They look over at the boss.

“Welp, he's done.” The boss announced.

“Wait... you... 'dealt' with him already? that was fast....” scootaloo says as they look over and see that Giovanni and Rhydon had vanished somehow,

“Now then, I recommend you return to base, and oh, bring apple bloom with you.” The boss commanded.

“Return to base?. what are you going to do at that castle?” they say before pausing, nodding then looking over to Apple Bloom with a smile “Alright, we'll head back to base then, right Apple Bloom?”

"Eh? Head back? Head back to where? W- Wait, Scoot- What do you mean? Who even was that person? W- Who are they to you?" apple bloom asks, Scootaloo would answer these questions now but probably better to answer later.

“Sorry Apple Bloom but it's a bit of a long story.... but don't worry, I'll explain everything when we get back to the base.... I promise Apple Bloom.... for now, let's just get to base.... alright?”

"I... suppose your right... We can talk about it on the way back to the base then.... Let's... Let's just go then."

“Alright! And don't be scared, I'll keep ahold of you, alright?... “ Scootaloo says opening a rip in space with their wing “Alright! Let's get going!” they grab Apple Bloom and lead her through the rip. they end up at the base, this is Scootaloo's second time here, coincidentally they seem to be in some sort of brake room, "Here we are!... It's not much, but here we are safely at base..... Now we can sit down and discuss things...."

“Yeah... I guess so... So... Scoot, are you ready to explain what's going on and who that person was you were talking with?” Apple Bloom asked,

"Yeah, I'm ready..... just... let me try to explain it best that I can so there's no confusion.... Alright, so..... that person I was talking to... their name is simply 'the boss' is all they've told me.... but that isn't the most important part....The most important part is how I met the boss.... And that is where I'll start.... so I basically found myself stranded on a mountain alone..... I had no idea how I even got up on that mountain.... but I was all alone with no idea where you or Sweetie Belle was.... and... well the boss came to me and offered me a deal..... he offered me big wings, like this, in exchange for me obeying him, doing anything for him, etc..... which I accepted and well... you can guess the rest...." explained scootaloo,

“I-.. see... so the person that came to you and offered that deal to you.... is called "the boss"... And you accepted that deal in exchange for your bigger and more mature wings, correct?” apple bloom asked,

“Yeah.... that's basically it.... I was all alone and wanted to find out where you and Sweetie Belle went and the boss gave me wings, and a few other changes, like being a bit taller than how I was before and looking more mature.... but other than the wings and being taller/older than how I looked before there's no other changes to me.... I still have all the same emotions as before and all my memories.... but that's the basics of what happened....” Scootaloo replies, after explaining her story a thought pops into Scootaloo's head, how did apple bloom become a princess "So... now that you understand what happened to me for the most part.... Now... what happened to you?.... how come you're a princess now?...." Scootaloo asks.

"So... you still have you're memories and feelings before you made a deal with the boss... so your still the same person you've always been... but only with some changed like your wings and looks... Alright then... Well... I guess it's my turn to explain everything now... alright, so I will also start off where I was... I was in Ponyville... with my siblings Applejack, Big Mac and with My best friends, Sweetie Belle and you. Then suddenly I was teleported somewhere else entirely... I remember being alone and abandoned as I was surrounded by strangers and creatures I have never meet before, and I had no idea what was going on or where I was... I remember I tried to scream and ask for help but none of them heard me... and then a voice spoke to me... the one who made me a princess in exchange for obeying them... I was in panic being all alone with no idea where anyone was... and then the voice said he was willing to change my situation... I would be seen and notice by others if I obey them... And then I accepted the deal... and just like that... became a princess and now I'm seen and notice by others, just like how they said they would... But... there are more to it than that... but I'm getting ahead of myself..." apple bloom says coming to a halt.

“Wait what? more than you being a princess? there's MORE to it than that?” Scootaloo asks shocked.

"Yes... there are more things I haven't explained yet... which I will tell you now... As I accepted the deal... the voice also said I'll have duties and responsibilities when I become a princess... and that I'd have to attend meetings, work hard for the kingdom, and deal with lots of stress and pressure I've never experienced at all..." Apple Bloom replies.

“Wait hold on..... you have to attend meetings...? Deal with stress and pressure?.... have duties and responsibilities?!?! But you're still a kid! You shouldn't have to go through all of that!” Scootaloo complained.

“I know that! I am a kid! I didn't think the deal would be so complicated and hard! I didn't know being a princess came along with a bunch of responsibilities and stress that I've never dealt with before! I miss the times where I was able to go explore with you and Sweetie Belle and have fun playing games... Being a princess is... it's very tiring and hard sometimes...” said Apple Bloom.

“Apple Bloom... look.... I'm really sorry this happened to you.... there has to be WAY more to the deal than just you being made a princess for some reason.... what duties and responsibilities did the voice say you have? did they say anything at all about what they wanted from you?” Scootaloo asked, concerned for her friend.

“The voice... told me that being a princess come with being expected to lead and rule, making decisions that affect the lives of others, and attending court sessions and representing my kingdom diplomatically. I have to attend meetings, give speeches, and manage the resources and budget.... as well as take care of my kingdom's citizens and help to keep the kingdom safe and prosperous...” Apple Bloom replied,

“...what all that?!…. you have to manage a WHOLE place?! Like taking care of the people, having to give speeches, being expected to lead and rule?! all that's too much for a single person, especially one so young like you!” Scootaloo says expressing her concern for Apple Bloom.

Apple Bloom not wanting to worry her friend more looks for a way to stop this conversation before looking at the clock, “It's getting late, huh?... We probably should find some place to rest for tonight...”

“There has to be a guest room or something around here somewhere....” Scootaloo Said before she peaked outside, “Wait here.... I'll go check it out quick.... it's probably just some guards or something...”

the admin from before stands right next to the door, “so, I overheard you and your friend are looking for rooms?” said the admin.

“...wait did you just hear us talking? how long were you listening exactly?” Scootaloo asked angered their privacy may had been intruded on.

“Enough to hear that you’re going to bed, I'll take apple bloom to her temp room and you can locate yours.”

“Well alright then.... but if you're going to take Apple Bloom, make sure you bring her back.... I really care about her, she's my childhood friend...” Scootaloo threatened as she walked off to locate her room.

While walking down she sees somepony in armor walk past her, normally she wouldn't mind but she thought she saw them have both a horn and a pair of wings “...is that... an Alicorn?....” they continue walking, occasionally looking over their shoulder, trying to keep their eyes on the Alicorn, still in disbelief at the sight they've witnessed, the alicorn turns a corner and is no longer in sight “How did it get here?.... alicorns are EXTREMELY rare.... I thought only 5 were still alive...” Scootaloo said to herself, she starts thinking if they should look for their room or follow the alicorn After a few minutes of thinking they decide to follow the alicorn, wanting to know who the Alicorn was and why the even was here, Looking the cornier, that is an alicorn; one with pink skin, magenta-purple mane with blue and pink streaks, same with their tail. They look in shock at the sight of the Alicorn they're following. A female Alicorn with pink skin, magenta-purple mane with blue and pink streaks, and a tail with the same colors. They continue to follow the alicorn, still in shock at the sight of her, suddenly with magic, scootaloo is slammed agents a nearby wall

"Maybe you shouldn't try to spy on ponies." She said to Scootaloo.

“W-What? H-How did you sense me?” Scootaloo asked.

"When one of your fellow admins is a silent assassin keen to spy on their fellow admins, you slowly start to sense when someone or something is watching you" she explains to Scootaloo.

"W-Wait a moment.... you're saying you're a member of the admins?" Said Scootaloo, still somewhat shocked and slowly getting up with their wings slightly bent against the wall.

"Yep, and if you don't want to be turned into a roast chicken you better leave me alone and find your room!!" the alicorn said angerly.

“A-Alright! I'll go then, sorry to bother you...” Scootaloo said slightly scared, leaving the area and find their room.

she soon finds it, uniquely its labeled with a small, simplified piece of artwork of her head. “Hold on... did they really make me my own private room? wow I wasn't expecting this....” she says to herself before they walk inside, looking around before closing the door and walking over towards the bed to plop down in it, the bed is super comfortable. she could even fall asleep right now, she lays down on the bed, their eyes growing heavy as they do. Soon after they close their eyes, almost immediately falling asleep, being extremely tired from the amount of stress they've experienced that day...
