My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Monster Mash-Up Musical
Chapter 9: Meeting with the Wild Cats
Previous ChapterNext ChapterInside the castle, The Grimwood Girls lead the still transformed Rainbooms upstairs to a large chamber.
"Follow us, Rainbooms," Sibella said. "We’ll meet Zoe in the potion room where Revolta made her dark potion. Winnie, Phantasma, Tanis, Elsa, and I have been there before. It felt like the most appropriate meeting spot."
"Oh, yeah, because that’s where they defeated Revolta," Trixie said to Starlight.
"No kidding," Starlight muttered in agreement.
They pass by a painting of Revolta and the picture’s eyes move. It was actually one of many henchmen of the middle aged man from the window looking through eye holes in the wall. They head off somewhere off-screen. Elsewhere, the Rainbooms and Grimwood Girls arrive in Revolta’s old potion room, where Revolta tried to revoltize Sibella, Winnie, Elsa, Phantasma, and Tanis all those years ago.
The Rainbooms glanced around the room in awe. "Whoa," Sunset breathed. "So this is where you defeated Revolta."
As they scan the large potion room, Applejack spots a cauldron in a fireplace. "Hey, is this the cauldron where Revolta made that potion that was supposed to make y’all bad?" she asked.
Elsa nods. "Yep. This is also what caused the castle to explode," she stated.
"But how could one cauldron make this entire castle go up in flames?" Rarity questioned.
"It wasn’t just the cauldron. It was the combination of the potion and Revolta’s wand," she explained. "Elsa tossed Revolta’s wand into the potion."
Sunset's eyes widened with sudden realization. "Oh, the wand’s magic overloaded the potion," she said.
"So that’s what caused the explosion!" Pinkie Pie said.
Sibella nods, confirming them. Twilight and Spike share a glance.
"Someone set up a meeting with a few jungle cats?" said an off-screen female voice. They spot Zoe, Jason, Tahlia, and Leonard behind them. The Grimwood Girls look excited. The Rainbooms look impressed.
"Well, that didn't take very long," Spike stated.
Sibella steps up to Zoe. "Zoe. Good to see you," she said as they both lock hands.
As Zoe and Sibella embrace, Zoe looks past her shoulder and sees the monsterfied Rainbooms. "No way! Is that the Rainbooms?" Zoe exclaimed, her eyes wide with disbelief.
Sibella nods. "It is. They turned themselves into real monsters this Halloween."
"Awesome!" Zoe said with enthusiasm. She spots Twilight and makes her way over to her. "And you must be Twilight Sparkle. I’ve heard so much about you."
Jason spots Rainbow Dash standing with the other Rainbooms and gasps. "Splendid spots! It’s Rainbow Dash!" he exclaimed, trotting over to her excitedly.
"Huh. So you must be Jason. Well, you’re quite the cool cat," Rainbow Dash said, giving him a gentle scratch on the head.
Tahlia saunters over to Applejack, who seemed momentarily surprised by how sweet and gentle the tiger was, despite her fierce appearance. "Well, I’ll be danged, Zoe. Tahlia is such a tamed tiger," Applejack remarked.
Fluttershy strokes Leonard’s mane and smiles softly. "And Leonard is a lovely lion," she added.
Zoe chuckles. "Thanks," she said before turning her attention back to Sibella. "So, Sibella, what’s this all about? Why did you want to meet us here?"
With a nod, Twilight handed Sibella the Gold Disk of Lycidias. Sibella holds it up for Zoe to see. "It’s about... this," she said.
Zoe’s eyes go wide. "Wait, wait, wait. Is that...?"
Sibella nods again. "Yes. The complete Gold Disk of Lycidias. The Rainbooms found the other half at a lab in their hometown."
"You mean you’re finally going to find the Zodiac Stone?" she asked eagerly.
"And finally complete the expedition Professor MacWright couldn’t finish?" Jason chimed in.
Sibella and Enid glance at each other, then nod. Zoe’s grin spread wider. "Oh, that’s great news!" she exclaimed. Sibella smiles thankfully at Twilight, who gazes happily at the daughter of Dracula.
Leonard raises his paw, his brow furrowed in curiosity. "Uh, quick question. What does all this have to do with us?" he asked.
"Well, the Rainbooms have a GPS in their bus that will lead us to the Zodiac Stone. But Scarface is back with his own plans for the Stone," Sibella explained.
"So we thought you 4 might be able to track him down. We can’t let Scarface get to the stone before us," Enid chimed in.
"Oh, so you want us to take care of Scarface while you go find the stone?" she asked.
"Correct," Phantasma confirmed with a playful grin.
Zoe considered it for a moment, then a wide grin spread across her face. "That’ll work," she declared confidently.
"Right," Tahlia affirmed.
"Yeah," Leonard added.
"Of course," Jason said eagerly.
The Grimwood Girls glance gladly back at the Rainbooms, who smile back. They got their back-up.
Zoe turns to Sibella with a curious look. "Sibella, why did you choose to meet us here? Out of all the places in Monsterdom, why did you pick here?" she asked.
"Uh, because this is where my friends and I defeated Revolta, remember?" Sibella explained.
"Yeah, but this is also the new workplace of George Sullivan," Tahlia stated. The Rainbooms were shocked at hearing the name of George Sullivan, their critic from the newspapers.
Enid’s eyes widen. “Sullivan? He works here now?” she asked in disbelief.
Jason nods, his tail flicking with annoyance. "And he’s got all the workers on his side. That’s why the guard didn’t want you to come in," he explained.
Twilight starts to ask a question. "Wait! When you said 'George Sullivan,' did you mean…"
"…the Rainbooms’ critic from the newspapers?" Sibella added.
"Exactly," Leonard confimed.
Twilight and Sibella look at each other with wide eyed horror.
"Not to mention, he sent his henchmen to come get you. We just saw them downstairs," Zoe warned.
"Henchmen? You mean he has help?" Sunset asked worriedly.
"You got it," Zoe replied simply. The Rainbooms look just as nervous as each other. As do the Grimwood Girls. Zoe straightened up, her confidence returning. "Anyway, we’d be happy to track down Scarface," she said. "And you’re right, it should give you a chance to get to the Zodiac Stone first."
"And I can track down that wicked warlock. Jaguars have a keen sense of smell. I can smell anything from miles away," Jason said.
Sibella smiled. "Perfect," she said softly.
"Anyway, you might wanna get out of here before Sullivan gets his hands on you," Zoe warned. Sibella and Enid glance over at each other worried. "Oh, and good luck finding the Zodiac Stone. We’ll contact you if anything happens," Zoe finished.
Sibella nods gratefully. "Thanks. And good luck finding Scarface."
Zoe nods in thanks. She and the Wild Cats head back the way they came. The 2 girl groups look shocked and nervous.
"George Sullivan? Our critic from the papers? His office is at Castle Revolta?" Sunset exclaimed.
"And he has a bunch of henchmen?!" she added
"So the security guard at the door was actually one of them!" Applejack realized.
Twilight gazes down at Spike, both looking as terrified as each other, the other Rainbooms, and the rest of the Grimwood Girls. Galactica looks down the staircase they came up and spots the shadows of Sullivan’s henchmen coming.
"Uh, girls?" Galactica called out. "We got company!"
The rest of both groups spot the shadows approaching. They’re alarmed! The Rainbooms, most of all.
"Come on, girls. I know a way we can lose them," Sibella said quickly. Without hesitation, she runs over to a brick wall and presses a brick. The wall opens like a garage door, revealing a secret tunnel. Sibella leads her friends and the Rainbooms into it. At the end of the tunnel, they come to come to a stop at 9 tunnels, each going in a separate direction to different parts of the castle.
"We better split up,' Sibella said, breathless but resolute. "We might be able to lose them if we separate." The others nod in agreement.
"Rarity and I will go this way," Tanis said, and the two mummies go down the third tunnel.
"Fluttershy and I will take this way," Phantasma said, and the two ghosts go down the fourth tunnel.
"Applejack and I will go this way," Elsa said, and the two Frankensteins go down the sixth tunnel.
"Sunset and I will take this one," Lagoona said, and the two swamp creatures go down the seventh tunnel.
"Pinkie Pie and I are going this way," Winnie said, and the two werewolves go down the fifth tunnel.
"Twilight and I will take this one," Sibella said, and the vampire and the new witch go down the first tunnel. "Spike! Matches! Come on!" Sibella called, and the dog and dragon hurry after them.
"Rainbow Dash and I will head this way," Enid said, and the witch and the new vampire go down the second tunnel.
"Trixie and I will take this one," Minimal said, and the two dinosaurs go down the ninth tunnel.
"And Starlight and I will go this way," Galactica said, and the two aliens down the eighth tunnel.
Sullivan’s henchmen arrive at the tunnels. They break up into smaller groups, and each group goes down a separate tunnel. Henry arrives in the potion room and watches them enter the tunnels. "Huh. Going after them in the tunnels, eh?" he muttered to himself. "If I go and save them, Sibella might call me her hero, and she’ll want to be with me!" Henry heads back down the way he came, looking determined and ready to carry out his plan on "saving" Sibella.
