Chapter 10. Restoring little by little.
"What are we going to do with the princesses though?" Fluttershy asked. "Besides they're both still screaming..."
"NOOOO MORE MONKEYS!" Screamed Luna as she thrashed onto the ground. "I SWEAR I KILLED ALL OF YOU! BROLY! WHY ARE YOU IN HELL?! YOU'RE THE ONE I WAS AFRAID OF!"
"HA! THE AFTER IMAGE TECHNIQUE?! I GUESS THAT'S A GOOD TRICK FOR A PRIMATE!" laughed Celestia." "YOU WORTHLESS STUPID APE!"
"This is really starting to scare me guys." Applejack said. "Whadduya think we should all do Twilight?"
"I'm too afraid to restrain them." Twilight said. "Even when linked with Frieza's mind, both princesses can be pretty dangerous."
"Let the GREAT AND POWERFUL TRIXIE handle this!" Said Trixie. She began to use her magic to grip onto both princesses, but it wasn't the best idea. When Trixie raised both princesses up in the sky, both alicorns proceeded to say...
"POOR STUPID SAYAIN! YOU'VE HONESTLY THINK YOU'VE WON!? YOUR PUNY MIND CAN NEVER UNDERSTAND IT! I AM FRIEZA! THE MOST POWERFUL BEING IN THE UNIVERSE! AND... YOU ARE JUST A BEAST... A FRAGILE ANIMAL! YOU CAN'T WIN, BECAUSE I AM MIGHTY, AND YOU... ARE NOT! NOW LEARN... LEARN WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU MESS, WITH THE MOST POWERFUL BEING IN THE UNIVERSE!"
Both Alicorns looked at the mane 6 along with Trixie, and both of their horns began to extend and glow with incredible arcane magic. Trixie quickly let go of the princesses out of fear, but the Alicorns started shooting magical beams wildly, heading right towards the Mane six!
"Go left! Now right! Dodge from there! Duck! Move that way! No your other left!" Said Pinkie Pie to everypony else while easily being able to dodge the attacks on her own due to her unusually powerful senses.
"You were saying Trixie?" Said Twilight while hiding behind a tree. "Now look at what you did! The princesses are completely out of control!"
"How was Trixie supposed to know that Luna and Celestia would respond like that?" Trixie barked back.
The princesses continued to blast mindlessly at the mane six and trixie causing destruction to trees and making craters in the ground, but luckily missed Zecora's house the entire time! Eventually, they both used up their magical reserves along with their energy, and both alicorns fell to the ground exhausted and unconscious.
"Twilight I think they're done now!" Applejack said. "They're both out cold."
Twilight approached the fallen alicorns to check to see if they were still awake and a threat. There were definitely unconscious.
"Well now THAT'S finally over, should we all be headed towards Canterlot now?" Said Rainbow Dash.
"MFFFFMFMFMFMFMF!" the muffled noise came from the Zecora's house. They had forgotten all about her, too tied up with the princesses.
"Oh my! We all forgot about Zecora!" Said Rarity.
The ponies went back into the house and saw once more, Zecora tied up with a muzzle on her snout! With one quick horn glow, Zecora was freed.
"OHH thank you all so very much!" Zecora screamed with relief. "One moment I was gathering my herbs, and then for some reason, the princesses attacked me! Did I do something wrong? What the hay is going on around here!?"
"Well you are aware of that no good alien Frieza right?" Asked Applejack.
"Yes I do. He's the one who killed that dragon that isn't too far from here. He actually ate it to!"
"Frieza ATE a dragon?!" asked Fluttershy in a scared tone. "I think I'll go over here for a min..."
Fluttershy tried to crawl away, but Twilight without even turning her head grabbed her with her magic and put her back into her original place.
"Did I do something wrong?" Zecora asked again.
"No you didn't." Rainbow Dash said. "You see what's going is..."
"ILL tell!" said Pinkie Pie excitedly. Pinkie Pie breathed in deeply, and then said everything without stopping for a single breath.
"It all started when Frieza came to our world and then he and the princesses got in a fight and then Frieza beat the princesses really bad and then used his power to link his mind with theirs and then went into the bad parts of their minds and reawoke them to life and now they are pervy again and that's why they went after you and us and also it was a setup cause they knew that we would ask you if you had anything that could cure them so that we could once again use the elements of harmony to..."
"Ok ok ok ok!" said Zecora. "I followed enough to know what's going on. So you say the princesses are under control by this alien?"
"Yes." said Applejack. "You wouldn't mind having a potion or something that could make em snap out of this crazy state?"
"I am sorry but I have no such thing. Also I don't think a potion would be able to do that, because if this alien linked it's mind to them, the princesses would have to fight off his possession on their own, or you would all have to use the elements. The most unlikely way to restore the princesses minds are to cause serious injury to Frieza and make him lose his focus unconsciously."
"The elements!" All of the ponies shouted. "How did we miss that?" asked Rainbow Dash asked.
"Well it has been a very long day." said Trixie.
"Alright well thanks anyway Zecora." Twilight said.
"Wait! Before you go, take these herbs. These can be used to fix nearly any injury, unless its instant death. I hope you all the best on your fight with Frieza. Now excuse, but I've got cleaning to do..." Zecora said.
With everything settled out, Twilight teleported herself and the others out of Zecora's home, and right into the heart of Canterlot. However upon arrival, they saw nothing more than sheer panic and fear!
"FRIEZA! HES COMING FOR US! HE'LL KILL US ALL!"
"I DON'T WANNA LIVE THE REST OF MY LIFE AS A SLAVE!"
"GATHER YOUR BELONGINGS EVERYPONY! WE NEED TO EVACUATE IMMEDIATELY!"
The streets were filled with terror and delusion! There was no logic into this at all. If Frieza had taken out their princesses with ease, where could they go? Why play and hide seek with a force that could just tag the whole darn area? There was also a bit of destruction during the mayhem. Overall, pretty much just a huge wreck equal to that of a huge building on fire with nearly no way out! Some ponies were also unfortunately trampled during all this, which is to be expected in mass chaos. There was so much panic, that nearly nopony even noticed the Mane Six and the princesses unconscious behind them.
"You all continue on without me!" Said Trixie." Get those elements already! I'll take care of the civilians!"
"Wow, I didn't expect that much from the likes of you Trixie." Said Applejack. "You actually got a bit of my respect now."
"Well of course! I am after the..."
"Don't kill it Trixie." Said Rainbow Dash.
Twilight Sparkle then used another teleportation spell bringing her friends and the princesses right into the entrance of Princess Celestia's castle. To their surprise, there were no guards at the door, for even they to had succumbed to fear and paranoia and eventually abandoned the castle out of fear.
"You don't see that everyday." Said Applejack.
"Due to the dire events that have been happening, it isn't too much of a surprise." Said Twilight.
However upon entrance to the Castle, nopony was in there! The entire place was totally deserted! Completely evacuated! The Mane Six didn't spend too much time thinking about it though, and went on to continue their unconscious princesses were first placed into Celestia's bedroom for rest, and were also restrained to the bed with magical rope that Twilight materialized just in case they woke up.
The ponies then went straight to Canterlot's Tower were the elements are located. Easy find, except for one problem...
"HOW THE HAY ARE WE GONNA GET THAT OPEN?!" Shouted Applejack. "Isn't Princess Celestia the only one who can?"
"I don't think we completely thought this through." Said Rainbow Dash. "That door can only be opened with Alicorn magic through their horns!"
"You're half right on that." Said Twilight. This door is protected by a spell that only Princess Celestia can break! Oh my! What are we going to do now?"
"I guess your little plan didn't turn out so great." said a voice. "I'll tell you this though. You are all very persistent, but now its getting quite annoying."
"I'm surprised that you forgot that only I can access that door my little pony." Said another.
The Mane Six turned around, and to their horror were once again the princesses Celestia and Luna in a lust crazed state.
"HOW DID YOU GET OUT!?" Cried out Twilight in fear and awe. Then she quickly realized that her question was rather stupid, since no amount of her magic can restrain TWO ALICORNS!
"Twilight, they're the princesses. Of course they can..."
"I know that was stupid ok? You don't have to remind me Rarity."
"I frankly have had enough of this game of cat and mouse." Said Celestia.
"Though I love a good chase, enough is enough." Said Luna.
Twilight tried to once again use a teleportation spell for her and her friends to escape, but Celestia's horn started to glow, and Twilight's spell failed to activate!
"Uh Uh Uh! Oh no you don't! We can't have that!"
"What did you do!?"Cried out Twilight. "My magic! What's going on?"
"Oh nothing, I just casted a temporary spell on you that stops you from you from using magic for a few hours. But in the meantime, we're all going to have some fun!"
Fluttershy hid behind the trembling Applejack and asked nervously..."What kind of fun your... your highness's?"
"Rebalancing you all, and ourselves..." Said both the Princesses at the same time. Talk about creepy! The princesses then lifted the entire Mane Six up into the air, and brought them right in front of themselves. The ponies began to scream and protest, begging for this not to happen.
"Please Princess! You can't do this! It's not right!" Shouted Applejack!"
"No! No! No! Stop!" Shouted Rarity. "I'd rather wear rags than do this!"
"No again! Not again!" Said Rainbow Dash as she flapped her wings hard trying to break free of the princesses magical grip onto her with no avail.
Fluttershy started to cry, but realizing that all her friends were in trouble, gave the last resistance she could, and that was her STARE. She quickly reassured herself and looked both princesses straight in the eye, and said...
"HOW DARE YOU TRY TO ASSAULT ME AND MY FRIENDS LIKE THIS HUH?!" Shouted Fluttershy, not taking her eyes off of the princesses for even a second. "FRIEZA IS TRYING TO TAKE OVER EQUESTRIA, AND YOU BOTH THINK YOU COULD HAVE SOME SICK FUN WITH ALL OF US!? I MEAN DO YOU KNOW WHAT'S AT STAKE HERE?! YOU BOTH OUTTA BE ASHAMED! NOW PUT US DOWN AND UNLOCK THE TOWER!"
The other ponies suddenly let out a sigh of relief, knowing that now everything is under control, or so they thought. The princesses turned to each other with a confused look, and then both burst into laughter.
"HAHAHAHA! You seriously think that works on me anymore Fluttershy?" Said Celestia. "I've long since learned how to counteract your little stare! I'm the princess for pony's sake! And there is nothing sick about rebalancing harmony! You should all be excited and happy!"
The princesses leaned in for a kiss, ready to begin this perverted game, but suddenly, Pinkie Pie blurted out repeatedly...
"SAYAIN! SAYAIN! SAYAIN! SAYAIN! SAYAIN!"
The princesses then pulled back angrily, and started to shake hard as if they were in pain, but maintained their focus on keeping the ponies secured.
"Wait a minute? How did we forget about that?" Said Rainbow Dash. "All we have to do is keep saying Sayain."
"BE QUIET!" shouted Luna. "I knew I could have beaten him if I hadn't lost both of my legs! Damn you no good sayain monkey!"
"Alright everypony, lets just all yell Sayain!" Said Twilight.
"A WONDERBOLT SAYAIN!" shouted Rainbow Dash.
"A cute little furry Sayain!" went Fluttershy.
"A dazzling marvelous Sayain indeed." said Rarity.
"A SAYAIN MADE OUT OF CUPCAKES!" Shouted Pinkie Pie.
"A tree made out of Sayains!" said Applejack.
The mental pressure began to become too much, and both Alicorns finally let go of the ponies, but in a violent manner, throwing them against the tower!
"STOP SAYING THAT WORD!" The princesses shouted.
"You can talk to the Sayain cause I don't understand!" Said Pinkie Pie.
"YOU DARE TRIFLE WITH US?!" Yelled Luna. "Something's happening again! Stop saying Sayain!"
"But Princess, Sayain's are the new dress..."
The princesses had enough, but mainly Celestia. Her head was thrashing and her mane was spiraling out of control. She could barely focus any magic at all from the stress, and charged directly at the Mane Six with her horn out as if she were to gore them! The ponies evaded to the left, but Celestia stayed hot on them.
"HAHAHAHA! YOU'RE MINE YOU STUPID FILTHY DIRTY SAYAIN!" Celestia yelled with Frieza's voice. The ponies literally ran around in a circle as Celestia continued to chase them.
"ROUND AND ROUND THE MONKEY GOES! IF HE SHOULD STOP, THEN OFF WITH HIS NOSE!" Yelled Celestia with Frieza's voice. Luna tried to assist, but her mental state kept her stuck in place thrashing around and sputtering out things Frieza said from the past.
"MAKE IT STOP!" Luna said, trying to free herself of this insanity.
Rainbow Dash then thought of a brilliant idea. She realized that Celestia in this crazed state had a harm time using magic, and was just blindly attacking with her horn. Rainbow Dash then took flight, hovering over the princess.
"Hey Celestia! You want me? Come and get me! I'm just Sayain after all!."
Celestia turned towards Rainbow Dash who was flying right above her. Celestia took flight and went after Rainbow Dash still trying to strike her with her horn, but the faster pegasus flew straight towards the Tower and stayed there.
"Come on and hit me you if you can! I'm a Sayain monkey all right! Ahahaha!" said Rainbow Dash.
Celestia flew into another rage, and flew directly at Rainbow Dash and elongated her horn to make sure that extra damage would be guaranteed, but Rainbow Dash flew right out of the way just in time, sending Celestia crashing straight into the tower, but her horn also went inside the lock! The impact incapacitated Celestia, and without a moment's hesitation, Rainbow Dash grabbed the chest and threw it to her friends.
"HERE CATCH!" Rainbow Dash yelled. Fluttershy then took flight and caught the chest safely and brought it to the ground.
"OH NO YOU DON'T!" Shouted Luna. Luna attempted to grab hold of the chest with her magic, but Pinkie Pie simply said "SAYAIN CAKES!" stopping Luna right in her tracks.
"NO MORE MONKEYS!" shouted Luna.
Twilight opened the chest and quickly gave everypony their harmony element with her magic. Then finally, the moment of truth. All six ponies focused on Celestia and Luna who were still deranged and insane. Suddenly their elements around their necks began to radiate, and then expand! Each light a different color as the beams combined together into one huge rainbow!
"NO! I WON'T LOSE TO A MONKEY!" Shouted Luna and Celestia.
The rainbow was just about to strike the possessed princesses, but the princesses striked back with magic of their own forming a powerful arcane blast towards the rainbow! The Mane Six still stayed strong and focused the rainbow onto the princesses, but the princesses kept their resistance strong, and kept their counterattack going!
"THEY'RE RESISTING THE ELEMENTS!" Twilight yelled.
""Well they are the princesses after all!" said Fluttershy.
"We can do this everypony, just stay strong and focus!" AppleJack said.
"YOU STUPID OVERGROWN MONKEYS! YOU CAN'T BEAT ME!" The princesses screamed as they continued to counteract the rainbow. The stress from both sides was immense and painful. Its Alicorn's minds vs the Mane Six's minds enhanced with the elements, and this was by no mean a mismatch.
"Push harder everypony! We got this!" Said Rainbow Dash, and with that, the Rainbow began to push back against the Alicorns blast a bit more.
"NO! YOU'RE JUST A BEAST!" Luna yelled, and her blast began to strengthen, pushing the Rainbow more.
"It's... its totally even!" Cried out Pinkie Pie. "I don't know much longer I can stand this! My head is hurting like crazy!"
"If any of you is holding anything back, now's the time to let it all out! Unleash everything into this!"
"HA! Giving up already I see?" Said Celestia in Frieza's voice. "Oh well, it was fun while it lasted!" And with that, the arcane blast began to slowly take over the rainbow. "NO!" Cried Twilight. "We... We won't let it happen!" As the Alicorn blast continued to slowly push back the rainbow, the ponies ran out of strength, and let go.
As they slipped into near unconsciousness, they saw a void of Frieza. Just in the dark laughing at them all. The void changed into color, and each pony began to dwell back onto their memories. Pinkie Pie when she was young and at her Rock farm. How miserable and hopeless it all seemed. No hope, no happiness. Just pure misery and despair. No smiles, no sugary food, nothing.
Fluttershy saw herself again as young filly trying to fly, but only to fail miserably and get laughed at. Pure humiliation, and it didn't help that she was already shy. When Rainbow Dash intervened, there was a bit of hope left, but what seemed like a few seconds later, Fluttershy was falling helplessly to the ground with no way to recover. It seemed like it would be her day of death, and with no hope for her to be saved.
Rarity also saw herself once more as a filly. She had made costumes and was a perfectionist. She wanted her dresses to be spectacular! Later on, she tried everything she could think of, but nothing worked. It was all useless and a waste of time! Nothing more than junk at the end of the day. It was pure confusion and 2nd guessing, and that's all that ever made sense.
Applejack saw herself as a little filly leaving her home and going to live in the big city Manehatten. She was on her quest to find herself, but quickly realized her blunder. She was not meant for this. She was trying to be someone she simply couldn't be. It wasn't her nature. One morning she saw the sun rise, and realize how poor her decision really was. She had never been so homesick in her life.
Twilight saw herself very young again, and had a huge passion for magic. She studied day after day after day reading countless amount of books about magic. One day, her parents enlisted her into a school for gifted unicorns. But she would have to pass an entrance exam. She was no nervous and very unsure of herself. She was given a dragon egg to hatch with pure magic alone, and try as she might, nothing happened. She grew even more unsure of herself as the judges looked down at her with disappointment. This continued for at least another minute. What was the point? She couldn't do it. She might as well leave, and throw in an apology for wasting the judges time. There is nothing for her.
Rainbow Dash was the only pony who still fought hard with herself barely conscious. "I... I... I.. I won't... Let us lose! We... We have been through so much together. I promise you all... I won't let it end..."
Rainbow Dash also slipped into unconsciousness, and reflected on her younger times when she was a filly. Fluttershy was getting teased by mean colts, but Rainbow Dash wouldn't take let that continue on much longer. She stepped right in and defended the shy young filly. She challenged the bullies to a race, and, it was totally no contest! She absoutely smoked the colts in that race, but her will to win didn't just have her win the race. It brought out her true potential. To perform the legendary Sonic Rainboom! What was thought as a marestale, actually was brought to life, and from her action, the entire Mane Six found their destinies in life. A spark went off in Rainbow Dash, and she returned to consciousness, and gave a powerful smile. A chain reaction began to occur.
Pinkie Pie's once depressing life was suddenly shined upon by a powerful rainbow! It was the best thing she had ever seen in her entire life. Her once sad face turned into a bright smile. From there, she wanted everypony to smile and be happy. That right there, was hope coming straight to life. The depression was over.
Fluttershy continued to fall and fall to her doom, thinking that was how she was going to die, but suddenly, hope sprang to life in the form of butterflies who caught her from her fall and saving her life. From then on, her connection with nature grew strong and despair and fear became no more.
Rarity was on the verge of giving up her dream to be a fashion designer, but suddenly, her horn lit up and took her far far away from into a large rock. She was confused once more, and felt like all of this was sheer mindlessness, but suddenly, a huge rainbow blast appeared in the sky, cracking the large rock in half, and revealing gems, diamonds, rubies, etc. Her eyes lit up, and her passion was once again reborn. No longer was confusion and sadness brushing over her. She had been cleansed with happiness and reassurance.
Applejack looked out the window seeing the sun rise incredibly home sick. She even whispered to herself "Cock a doodle do" for old times sake. Suddenly, a rainbow blast had hit the skies, and the rainbow went right to Applejack's farm home, where she then realized that's where she truly belonged. She then returned to her old home, and from that day on, knew what she was meant for.
Twilight was just about to call it a day and leave, feeling embarrassed for thinking she had a chance to get into Princess Celestia's school. Suddenly, a powerful rainbow blast appeared from the sky, and something about that rainbow made Twilight unleash incredible power from her horn, hatching the dragon egg and turning the baby into an adult dragon, while lifting the judges off their hooves and turning her parents into random items. Celestia then came over to her impressed, and decided to make Twilight her own personal student, and from that day on, life was going to get a whole lot more interesting. She found her true friends. She had found out something that she could never learn in a book. She discovered that Friendship is Magic!
With hope completely reassured, the ponies sprang back into the game. Suddenly the rainbow blast started rising back at a very fast pace catching up to the princesses arcane blast. They were both nearly in shock on how the Mane Six was able to jump back up after such a long struggle. The rainbow blast started to completely take over the arcane blast, and within seconds, the princesses were overtaken by the blinding light! The princesses began to scream in Frieza's voice, but something strange was in their sights. The Mane Six saw Frieza in their princesses eyes being struck by a large blast of yellow light by an unknown bipedal being with blonde hair, and seconds later, disappearing into that blast. It finally had been done. Frieza's control over the princesses, was no more.
