Crusaders of crime
Chapter 2: Batty ponies.
Meanwhile, a few minutes earlier, in a tree house in the forest, there were 3 little ponies, apple bloom, sweetie bell, and scootaloo, also known as the cutie mark crusaders. They were discussing tomorrow's plans for finding their cutie marks, as usual.
"How about we try animal sitting"? Suggested Sweetie bell.
"No way" Refused Apple bloom "The critters around here are too wild to handle".
"We can always try zip lining again". Suggested Scootaloo.
"NO" replied Sweetie bell and Apple bloom in unison.
Then they heard a large booming noise.
"Whoa, what was that"? Scootaloo wondered.
I don't know, said sweetie bell, scared out of her mind, but maybe we should stay in the club house. You know just to be safe.
Apple bloom shook her head, no way sweetie bell, apple bloom said with so much gusto, maybe whatever that boom was may lead us to our cutie marks.
Yeah, let's do it, said scootaloo ready to go.
No way, sweetie bell said. I don't know if it's a good idea.
Darn it sweetie bell do you want your cutie mark or not, scootaloo asked harshly.
Sweetie bell gave in, ok.
Outside there club house, terry was oblivious to it, seeing as he is still carrying Mad Stan around.
Got to rest, carry on later, terry thought to himself. So he put Stan down and he just passed out from exhaustion.
The crusaders were out the door when they saw something.
What's that? Apple bloom wondered.
Looks like a giant bat or something, said scootaloo puzzled.
I didn't know bats grew that big, sweetie bell said still shaking.
Sweetie bell heard a moan of pain emanating from it.
Sweetie bell stopped shaking when she realized it's in pain, and sweetie bell ran closer, with apple bloom and scootaloo in tow.
Apple bloom and Scootaloo finally caught up to sweetie bell.
They, as well as Sweetie bell were shocked with what lay before them.
"Whoa, I have never seen a bat like that! Scootaloo said, just as shocked as the rest of the fillies
What is it Sweetie bell? Apple bloom wondered.
He's hurt, sweetie bell said with concern.
"He"? Apple bloom and Scootaloo asked sweetie bell.
"Well judging by his groaning, what else would he be"? Sweetie bell said as she snapped at the other 2.
Well what can we do about it? Scootaloo asked.
I know. Apple bloom had an idea; we could bring him back to the club house and fix him up. My sis applejack has been teaching me first aid.
Ok, scootaloo and sweetie bell said in unison.
Cutie mark crusader doctors go.
So with that, the crusaders took Terry's unconscious body back to their club house, and attempted to fix him up.
About 45 minutes later they finished with fixing up their patient. Just then, terry woke up, and saw the 3 fillies standing before him.
He sat up and stared at them for 5 minutes until he spoke.
"Please tell me I'm hallucinating".
"Nope", scootaloo said, and the rest of them proceeded to laugh.
Terry couldn't comprehend what he was seeing, 3 talking baby ponies, in the back of his mind he was kind of hoping spellbinder ambushed him out of nowhere.
"So, how did I get here"? Terry asked for an explanation.
Apple bloom explained everything that happened up to now, at least on their end.
Terry put himself together, thanked the ponies, still not believing it, and went to collect his quarry.
He went back to where he left Stan, but with shock, he said "he is gone"!
"Who's gone Mr. Bat person"? Wondered Apple bloom, as she was as confused as anyone would be.
"A criminal I was transporting". Terry said still weary. "I somehow got transported here, I thought to a different part of my world, but I see I'm in a totally different world".
"You mean equestria"? The CMC stated letting terry know where he was.
"Equestria"? Terry said, confused as ever. Who petitioned that name?
The CMC stood there, just as confused as terry was.
Just then, they heard the sound of maniacal laughter.
"That sounded like it came from the train station". Apple bloom pointed out.
"Let's go". The ponies said as they ran off. Terry ran with them in the direction they ran while thinking to him "ponies have trains"?
They arrived at the train station and they saw the train leave for canterlot. Terry then noticed Stan was on the train.
"There he is" Terry pointed.
"That train is heading for canterlot" Said sweetie bell shocked.
"Canterlot"? "Boy I really hope I'm just dreaming all this". Terry thought to him as the events occurred.
Terry turned to the ponies. "Look, I appreciate what you've done, but you have to stay back and let me carry on from here".
"But you're still hurt". Sweetie bell said with concern.
"Look, I'll be fine, just go on to, wherever you homes are right now ok?
The ponies replied, "But". But terry snapped back. "I SAID RIGHT NOW". And then terry flew off to beat mad Stan to his destination….
Later, Stan got off his train, and saw the castle beyond the horizon. "Castles mean monarchy man, and I'm here to set them free". Stan ranted to himself as he walked to the castle….
As he got to the front gates, the guard ponies couldn't believe what they saw before them. They stood their ground, but Stan pulled out a few electric charged buzzers and zapped the guard ponies into submission, terry, lurking behind a tree, was wondering, "What's your game Stan"? "You've done some stupid things, but this is up there"…
Stan was setting up bombs all around the castle and shocking any guard pony who dared to interfere. After laying the last charge, we raised his voice for all to hear.
"Hear me monarchs of this weird world, There is no place for monarchy, these creatures should be free, it is time to light the spark of change".
It was not until a shadow enveloped Stan after making his threat, and he saw what appeared to be a purple alicorn with a mane as dark as the night standing before the maniac. The blue figure spoke.
"Here me now intruder, I am Princess Luna, and I will not tolerate this behavior".
Stan was not about to have it when he pulled out another electric charge and rushed the princess.
"You just made a big mistake". Luna said, charging her horn.
Terry was about to rush Stan when he saw a flash of light envelop his surroundings…
After it was over, he ran to Stan, who has appeared to have gone unconscious. Terry wondered what happened when he saw Luna flying off to raise the moon.
"This day just gets weirder and weirder".
With that thought he took the mother box out of his pocket and hoped it still worked after what had happened. Luckily it still worked, but it was still acting iffy. He opened the boom tube heading for home, along with Stan.
Bruce was still sitting in his chair wondering what happened to terry, until he heard a boom come from behind him. And he saw terry place Stan on the ground. Bruce asked "what happened"?
"It's a long story"; terry said exhaustedly, "let's just say you need to get this thing fixed". "All I want to do is crash until New Year's".
"Terry". Bruce stopped terry as he was leaving.
"What now"? Terry asked, "Look if it's about Stan I'll take care of it on my way home ok"?
"Not that". Bruce responded.
"Well what is it"? Terry asked in an angry tone.
Bruce pointed in front of him and only said; "well I hope you're going to do something about them"?
"What does he mean them"? Terry thought, and then Terry looked and quickly palmed his face at what he saw. The cutie mark crusaders in the bat cave.
