A/N: Sorry, I didn't end up answering all of the questions, sorry, but enjoy the chapter none the less!
Chapter 9: Fire Strom
Twilight and Lady Bluebell watch the sand storm brew outside. They knew the cause.
"Looks like Crocodile's reincarnation is finally here…" said Lady Bluebell.
"I knew he would show up eventually…" sighed Twilight.
"Isn't it supposed to be a mare." Lady Bluebell.
Twilight stared at her who just giggled.
"How are we going to find him." Said Lady Bluebell.
"We just have to figure how where the storm is coming from." Said Twilight.
Twilight went to her room and got out a large telescope and put several protection spells on it.
She looked through and found what she was looking for.
"There is it." She said, "That way."
"What are you going on to?" asked Lady Bluebell.
Twilight sighed, her horn began to glow as she closed her eyes.
Elsewhere, at the center of the storm.
"So what's the plan?" asked Rose.
"There were be three groups." Explained Sandy, "Steel your with your old partner… you attack anypony who gets in your way… You are going alone, you have the same orders… all three of us will find her."
"Have her house?" asked Bonbon.
"Yes…" answered Sandy, "She's not home."
"I think today is the day she goes to the spa." Said Bonbon.
"Knowing what's going on she probably left." Said Steel.
"That's why we need to search the whole town." Said Sandy.
Sandy tossed an umbrella at Bonbon.
"Here you know what to do with it." Said Sandy.
Little did they know was that an invisible pair of eyes and ears were listening in.
Back in the library, Twilight opened her eyes as her horn stopped glowing.
"I never thought I'd see the day you would use your powers like that." Said Lady Bluebell.
Twilight rolled her eyes, "It's worse than I thought…"
"Steel is there, isn't' he?" asked Lady Bluebell.
"He is… but so are two others." Said Twilight.
"Hey!" they heard someone call out.
They went down stairs as Rainbow Dash, Spring Breeze, Spitfire and Soarin' entered.
Rainbow Dash shut the door.
"You all right?" asked Lady Bluebell.
"You mean trying to fly that sandstorm?" asked Rainbow Dash, "It's just peachy."
"It's Crocodile's reincarnation, isn't it?" asked Spitfire.
"It is." answered Twilight.
That was when the door once again opened revealing Pinkie and Bombs Away.
"Good I was right, everypony seems to gathering here." Said Bombs Away.
"Good you're here." Said Twilight.
"You might fighting against Crocodile's reincarnation?" asked Bombs Away he started pointing to Pinkie, "Shouldn't she be the one to fight him."
"That's not what I meant… there's more than just Crocodile's." said Twilight, "they found the reincarnations of Miss Double Finger and Miss Valentine."
"What kind of names are those?" asked Rainbow Dash.
"They're codenames." Said Bombs Away, "Don't ask long story."
"Why are you?" asked Rainbow Dash.
"Bombs Away, member of the Fruit Brigade and currently undercover for the Royal Guard in order to protect the Wonder Bolts." Saud Bombs Away.
"Don't worry he's cool." Said Soarin'.
"Just don't take any candy from him." Whispered Spitfire.
"We need to find Fluttershy in this storm now…" said Twilight.
That was when the door suddenly opened and in walked in Spike, Rarity, Fluttershy, Applejack and Golden Field.
"That was convenient." Said Pinkie.
"We made it." Sighed Applejack.
"OKAY! RAINBOW DASH!" yelled Rarity, "WHAT'S WITH THE SAND STORM! YOU ALMOST RUINED MY MANE!"
"Hey, it wasn't my doing!" said Rainbow Dash.
"She's right." Said Twilight, "This storm is caused by another Devil's Reincarnation…"
"They can even change the weather?" asked Rarity.
"If they are powerful enough." Said Golden Field.
"All right! I have a plan." Said Twilight.
She took out maps and charts from somewhere.
"All right! Pinkie, you go find Crocodile's reincarnation with Soarin', Rainbow Dash and Spitfire. We need as many Pegasi to help you." Said Twilight.
"Fine with that." She said.
"What?" asked Rainbow Dash.
"I'll explain when we having the dramatic running towards scene." Said Pinkie.
"Okay…" said Rainbow Dash.
"I don't know…" said Spitfire.
"I think you should accompany her…" said Lady Bluebell.
"I totally agree…" said Spring Breeze rather stiffly.
"Spring Breeze, Golden Field you will go find Steel Blade and Double finger's reincarnation." Said Twilight.
"Okay! Said Spring Breeze.
"I was wondering when we'd get some action." Said Golden Field.
"Bombs Away…" said Twilight.
"Say no more…" said Bombs Away, "I was going to complain if you didn't assign me to her."
"The rest of us will stay here." Said Twilight, "Just in case it doesn't work…"
They all nodded and left the library.
"Our you sure it's a good idea, to have Pinkie fighting the pony who causing the storm?" asked Applejack.
"I know for a fact that she can win." Said Twilight.
Meanwhile with Pinkie's group…
You need use to make rain?" asked Rainbow Dash
"Yeah! Crocodile was weak against water." Said Pinkie, "It's the only way I can hit her and I'm not using my own blood like Luffy did."
"Gross." Mumbled Rainbow Dash.
Pinkie looked at Soarin' and Spitfire, "You know about what's going on?" she asked.
"Oh yeah… I grew up with a Devil Reincarnation." Said Soarin'.
"Awesome!" said Pinkie.
"You have to tell her…" whispered Rainbow Dash.
"I know…" said Spitfire.
Elsewhere the other two groups raced to find the ones they would be fighting…
Bombs Away as somepony in a cloak holding an umbrella.
"You're a member of the Devil 's Alliance, aren't you?" he asked.
"I'm new." Said Bonbon disgusting her voice, which wasn't hard, in fact she liked to mess with ponies by doing that.
Meanwhile with Spring Breeze and Golden Field they saw Steel and Rose.
"You Lady Bluebell's bodyguards aren't you?" asked Steel.
"That's right." Said Golden Field taking out that large weapon of heir's from… somewhere.
"I'll take Steel and you take… her…" said Spring Breeze.
"Right!" said Golden Field.
"You think you can stop us…" said Steel.
That was when both of them shifted into their half pony, half snake forms. Which made them both rather… well gigantic.
"So you're they reincarnations of Boa Sandersonia and Boa Marigold…" said Steel.
"That's right." Said Spring Breeze.
"Give it your all.." whispered Steel to Rose.
Rose gulped when he said that.
With Pinkie's team. They stopped when they heard laughs.
"So you're Pinkie D. Pie…" said Sandy making her presence known, "I am Sandy Dune, I think you know who I am…"
"Your Crocodile!" muttered Pinkie.
"Oh you brought Pegasus with you. That will make you win." Taunted Sandy.
Sandy turned her hoof to sand and tired to hit Rainbow Dash with it, but she flew away.
"What…" muttered Sandy.
"Fastest Flyer in a Equestria!" bragged Rainbow Dash.
"Rainbow, we have to make rain clouds…" said Spitfire.
"Fine…" muttered Rainbow Dash.
"Good luck!" said Soarin'.
"I don't need it." Said Pinkie putting her hat on the ground.
Sandy rolled her eyes at that and just stood still.
Meanwhile, with fights with Golden Field and Rose, Rose would turned her body into spikes every time Golden Field would attack, while Golden Field would dodged every time Rose would attack.
"You're good." Said Golden Field, "But I can tell you're not putting your all into it."
"That's what you know!" said Rose.
"Wait… I know that voice…" said Golden Field, "Don't you sell flowers in town."
"No… no not at all…" said Rose freaking out.
Golden Field narrowed her eyes.
"I think I figured it out…" she said.
"I don't think they're going to let them live…" said Rose.
"Should have known…" muttered Golden Field.
Back with Bombs Away and Bonbon, Bonbon used that umbrella Sandy gave her and took to the air but making herself light as a feather. However…
"This was a early bad idea." She muttered to herself.
"Tell me why I shouldn't nock you out of the air?" asked Bombs Away.
"Because it's pointless." Said Bonbon, "I mean the sandstorm is brewing…"
"So you mean after making a good life for yourself in your past life you decided to go back to crime in this life… what's the point…" said Bombs Away.
"Wait… how do you know about my past life unless…" said Bonbon.
Bombs Away plucked out some of his hair and blew them toward Bonbon. They then exploded in the air, but none of it was close to knocked her out of the air.
"I think that speaks for itself…" said Bombs Away.
"What am I going to do…" she thought.
Back with Pinkie and Sandy, Pinkie tired to punch Sandy, but Sandy just turned into sand. She then tried to kicked her, but once again turned into sand.
"Where's that rain." Thought Pinkie.
The three Pegasi helping her had managed to create a rain cloud.
"All right! Time to unleashes this sucker." Said Soarin'.
The three positioned it over Sandy, and it started to rain. However Sandy created a sort of umbrella of sand that began to suck of the moisture.
"Please you really thought I wouldn't come up with a way to not get beaten by Pegasi?" asked Sandy.
With Golden Field and Rose's fight.
"They have my friend hostage… please… please help them…" she whispered, "I don't care what happens to me…"
Golden Field felt sick to her stomach.
"You just want a normal life… don't you…" said Golden Field.
"I do…" whispered Rose.
"Is the other one like you?" asked Golden Field.
"What do you mean?" asked Rose.
"The 4th pony involves, does she just want a normal life and have somepony held hostage." asked Golden Field.
"She does…" whispered Rose.
"Then your friends are fine…" said Golden Field.
Rose blinked…
"Let's help me sister take this guy down." Said Golden Field.
"Right…" said Rose.
Back with Bonbon and Bombs Away.
"Please save Lyra!" yelled Bonbon, "And also Daisy and Lily!"
"Wait… what?" asked bombs Away, "Wait… are you saying they ponies hostage?"
"That's why I joined them!" yelled Bonbon.
"Do you know where they are?" asked Bombs Away, "I'll make sure that they won't hurt them again."
"What can you do?" asked Bonbon.
"I'm an undercover royal guard." Said Bombs Away, "I think I might have some power to make sure that will happen."
"You became a royal gaurs in this life?" asked Bonbon.
"You know it was my life long dream to be a fire fighter…" pointed out Bombs Away.
"Then why did you become a royal guard"?" asked Bonbon.
"That's none of your business." Said Bombs Away, "Do you want your friends saved or not?"
Bonbon muttered something under her breath.
Back with Pinkie's fight. Pinkie was slammed with a wall of sand.
"I'm going to figure out a way so you won't bleed." Mumbled Sandy.
The three Pegasi watched.
"Well I guess I need to get involved…" said Spitfire, "I honestly don't know if my powers will be strong against her."
"Be careful…" said Soarin'.
Spitfire nodded and flew down.
Sandy was about create a large ball of sand when fire came from the sky and engulfed her.
When the fire stopped Sandy was covered in pieces of glass.
"What the…" said Sandy.
"Pinkie… you okay?" asked Spitfire.
Pinkie look at Spitfire, her wings had turned to fire as well as one of her fore hooves.
"Wait…" said Pinkie.
"You can't be…" said Sandy.
She managed to shake off the pieces of glass.
"Great… really hot fire is one of my weaknesses…" thought Sandy.
"You're Ace… aren't you?" asked Pinkie, "Wait… does that mean your Bluebell's surprise?"
Back in the library…
Twilight explained the fight between Luffy and Crocodile as well as Crocodile's main weakness. It helped that Robin had witnessed the fights.
"So wait, you're saying that Luffy used his own blood to defeat Crocodile…" said Applejack.
"Remember what I said about him being reckless…" said Lady Bluebell.
"But I don't know if we have to worry about that…" said Twilight.
"Unless of the possibility of Crocodile's reincarnation figure out a way to combat Pegasi making rain…" said Lady Bluebell.
Twilight froze.
"You seriously didn't factor that in…" said Spike.
"But that's just an easy to get weakness…" said Lady Bluebell.
"What do you mean?" asked Twilight.
"Sand melts into glass." Said Lady Bluebell.
"Spitfire…" said Twilight.
"Wait… Spitfire?" asked Rarity.
"The Wonder Bolt." Said Fluttershy.
"I'm guessing this will be the thing that makes Pinkie realize she's not angry with her…" said Lady Bluebell.
Everyone stared at her.
"You might want to backtrack…" said Spike.
Back with Pinkie's fight.
"You're not angry with me… are you?" asked Pinkie.
"No… why would I be mad?" asked Spitfire.
"Because of you know…" said Pinkie quietly.
"I'm not mad…" said Spitfire.
"Really!" said Pinkie cheering up.
"To be honest, I wasn't sure you wouldn't like me…" said Spitfire.
"Why is that?" asked Pinkie.
"Because… well… I was afraid Luffy moved on…" said Spitfire.
"Hello… you're still fight me…" said Sandy.
"Let's beat him first, then bond." Said Spitfire.
"Sounds good to me!" said Pinkie.
Sandy face hoofed, "That was really stupid of me…" she muttered.
That was when Spitfire unleashed a large plume of flames from her fore hoof.
When she was done, large chunks of Sandy's body had melt into glass.
"I can't move…" she thought.
"All right! Time to finish this!" said Pinkie.
She put her hoof into her mouth and start blowing. That was when part of body began to inflate.
Pinkie proceed to unleash Gum Gum Gigant Pistol onto the still immobile Sandy.
Sandy was knocked a long ways and passed out.
That was when the sandstorm stopped.
With Steel he saw that the sand storm had ended but now he was surrounded.
"I know you had no intentioned of letting them live." Said Rose glaring at them.
"So you did notice Sandy's wording…" muttered Steel.
In place where the hostages were, Bombs Away managed to untie the three.
"Oh Lyra… I'm so sorry for this." Said Bonbon.
"It's not your fault… I know you wanted no part in this." Said Lyra.
The two proceeded to kiss.
Bombs Away watched them kiss.
"You're a filly follower in this life?" he asked at his wing shot start up.
"Gross." Said Lilly.
"Disgusting." Said Daisy.
Bonbon walked over to Bombs Away and whacked him.
"Ow…" he muttered.
Back with Pinkie's fight, Rainbow Dash looked at Sandy.
"Wasn't that overkill?" asked Rainbow Dash.
"There's no overkill when it comes to a Logia user." Said Spitfire.
Rainbow Dash raised an eyebrow.
"I'll explain later." Said Spitfire.
Pinkie as she didn't use Gear 3 for long, regained normal size right away and then gave Spitfire a tackling hug.
"I'm so glad you're not angry with me!" said Pinkie.
"Should we, I know… tie up Sandy…" said Spitfire.
"Oh right…" said Pinkie.
And so Pinkie along with Spitfire defeated Sandy…
However…
The light blue Unicorn reported to the other members of the Devil's Alliance.
"Sandy was defeated?" asked the black unicorn.
"We still do need her." Said Full Plate.
"She is stronger than most of us…" said Aurora.
"IF expecting you then perhaps we should them know where they're old friend is…" said black unicorn.
Next Time: With Sandy captured they need to bring in ally in order to rescue her and Steel. Will this pony be stronger than the Brigadier of the Fruit Brigade however? Meanwhile Luna finally tells her sister about the truth involving the Devil's Reincarnation and also what's with that ghost. Find out next time!
