Episode 11
"Last time on Total Pony Island Returns." Jimmy began. "The camper's cooking skills were put to the test. While some campers made something delicious, some of them didn't to say the least. Pinkie Pie gave her team some delicious cupcakes, and her original batch was burned because the entire mess hall exploded. Sweetie Belle tried making new cupcakes after the original batch was burned, but somehow made the cupcakes even worse causing her team to lose the challenge. However, Apple Bloom saw this as her one golden opportunity and Diamond Tiara was given the old heave ho. What will happen and where's Toad? Find out right now on Total Pony Island Returns!"
Episode 11: Now that you mansion it
It was the middle of the night. The girls in the parasprites cabin are fast asleep; until someone came in their cabin in the middle of the night.
"Psst, Fluttershy." Apple Bloom whispers.
Applejack notices her little sister in her cabin. "Apple Bloom, what are you doing here?"
"We finally got rid of Diamond Tiara; which is good for me because it'll be much easier for us now that she's gone."
"That's great."
"So how are things going with Discord and Fluttershy?"
"Well-"
"They're not going well?"
"Not that it just feels nice and weird at the same time."
"Ah guess ah don't mind throwing another challenge for her tomorrow, so they'll have some quality bonding time together."
Chrysalis had an eye opened and heard everything.
Chrysalis: *chuckles* I've got it all on tape this time. Plays the tape recorder with Apple Bloom's voice: "Ah guess ah don't mind throwing another challenge for her tomorrow, so they'll have some quality bonding time together." That yellow filly is so going down.
"Welcome everyone to today's challenge." Toad announces.
"So where is the challenge?" Trixie asks.
"Right up there on top of Toad Hill." Toad answers pointing to a haunted mansion at the top of the hill.
"Is this hill another volcano?" Chrysalis asks
"Did I say it was?
"You never tell us anything we need to know."
"Precisely, today's challenge will test your navigating skills and your team skills. Hidden in the mansion are very valueable portraits of ladies." Toad explains.
"What does that have to do with-"
"However, since it was abandoned after the show went on hiatus, everything has been reduced to rubble. Now King Boo resides in there, blocking the exit and waiting for unsuspecting victims to fall in his ghostly clutches. Your mission is-"
"We have to go inside the mansion, avoid the obstacles that have been set up, and we have to be the first team out of the mansion without getting caught by King Boo." Pinkie chimes in.
"HEY! I was gonna say that." Toad furiously ranted.
"Well, that's Pinkie Pie for ya."
"Bobei, taze her." Toad points to Applejack.
Applejack gets tazed by Bobei for a quick second.
"*laughs* can I have a try?" Chrysalis smirks.
"NO!" Applejack replied.
Chrysalis: *shrugs* That was worth a try.
"Oh that reminds me." Toad realized. "For having me eat bad cupcakes yesterday, taze Sweetie Belle too Bobei."
"Oh no." Sweetie Belle runs off.
"Okay, start the challenge while I recover from eating bad cupcakes yesterday. You guys will find karts that will take you to the mansion."
Discord reaches the mansion first. "Well Fluttershy, I told you I can drive a go-kart."
Fluttershy gets to the mansion next. "Yes, you did." Looks at the mansion then starts shaking in fear.
Fluttershy: *still shaking* I-I don't do so well with spooky places.
Chrysalis: Hmm, it seems like the pegasus and the draconequus are like a thing now. Its so sickening, but so enticing because Discord will do ANYTHING to impress Fluttershy. All I've gotta do is convince him to throw the challenge. Everyone will see him as a weak link and a threat and vote him off. Which will leave the pegasus alone and completely vulnerable, and then I'll make my move to eliminate her.
Cheese Sandwich, Pinkie Pie, and Sweetie Belle just arrive at the mansion.
"Lets head inside." Pinkie insisted.
Toad cuts in, "Not so fast. You can't go inside the mansion until ALL of your teammates get here."
"Where are they?" Chrysalis asks.
"Right here." Trixie responded as she and Apple Bloom just arrive.
"Not you."
Twilight comes in and joins her team. "Okay that's our whole team. Let's head on inside."
Fluttershy looks for the others. "If we don't find them, then we're gonna lose." She looks again but gets tripped by Chrysalis.
"Oops, that must be the wind." Chrysalis smirks. "So Discord, do you realllllly want to impress that pegasus?"
"Well duh, I would do anything to impress Fluttershy."
"She would just love a guy who throws challenges."
"WHAT!?" But we're gonna lose, and I am not doing that."
"Fine. I thought you really liked her, but I guess I was wrong. You don't like her at all."
"No I do. If she wants me to throw the challenge, then I'll do it."
"Glad we see eye to eye."
Applejack and Rarity just arrive with the team.
"Where were you two?" Discord asks.
"Our kart just broke down, so we had to run and Rarity was slowing down every few seconds." Applejack responded.
"There's no time, we gotta move." Fluttershy said.
Inside the mansion, the Misfits come across several different doors.
"So which door do we choose?" Twilight asks her team.
"What about this one." Sweetie Belle suggested pointing to a door. She heads for the door, then it disappeared along with her.
"Now what do we do?" Pinkie asks.
"Well, Trixie and I could use a spell to make another door appear." Twilight insisted. Both of them concentrate their energy and another door appears. They open the door and go see what lies inside there.
In another part of the mansion, the parasprites are somewhere in a pipe maze finding out which pipe to choose.
"How do we even know which pipe to take? There's like a million of them." Rarity points out.
"Well the ghost of this haunted house won't make it easy for us to get out of here." Applejack thought. "One of these pipes leads to another room to get out of this place. All we need to do is choose one."
"Or maybe we could just...BREAK THEM!" Discord suggested.
"WHAT?" Fluttershy shrieks.
Fluttershy: I have no idea what's gotten into him.
"This must be the one." Applejack exclaims.
"How do you know?" Rarity questions.
"Well, knowing most of these here secrets are most guarded, Ah guess the exit must be somewhere down this pipe."
All of the parasprites went in the pipe, and then a whole army of boos blocked their path scaring everyone.
"Nice job Applejack." Chrysalis said sarcastically.
Toad is on the beach relaxing with a glass of water. "Hey Bobei, this doesn't have any ice in it."
"That's because it's like 150 degrees out here señor." Bobei said. "There's no such thing as ice."
"No excuses. Just get some ice, so where's Jimmy? I haven't heard his annoying voice all day."
"I don't know."
Jimmy was just outside the mansion figuring out what the machine needed. "I wonder how you get into this thing. The door is locked, maybe one of these buttons open the door." Presses a button, but nothing happens. "This thing must be broken. Oh well, time to go back to Toad." The moment he left a giant bob-omb dropped from the sky.
The remaining members of the misfits are still looking for a way out.
"Guys, does anypony know where we are?" Apple Bloom asks.
"I think we're in some kind of miners' tunnel." Cheese Sandwich answered.
"Is it anywhere near the exit?"
"Maybe if there's a draft, then we can follow it."
"Onward to the exit." Pinkie insisted.
Suddenly the cave began to rumble and no one can see anything.
"Where are we?" Apple Bloom asks.
"Oooh, is this a...SLUMBER PARTY!?" Pinkie cheers.
"Or maybe a coffin party." Cheese Sandwich thought.
"Who's touching me?" Trixie asks.
"Uh, Trixie? None of us are anywhere near you." Twilight reminded her.
"Hey something is touching me too." Apple Bloom realized.
"I am not taking directional advice from you ever again." Discord angrily said pointing to Applejack.
"Well ah think that this King Boo fella might have changed his strategy." Applejack thought.
"Wait, where's Rarity?" Fluttershy looks and realizes she not there.
"She was just here a minute ago." Discord said.
"Ah don't know if she's here anymore. You can't hear any voices or screaming due to the ghostly magic this place has."
"Well this never would've happened if I just destroyed those pipes." Discord grunted.
"We'll get through this and find Rarity. Don't get all worked up." Fluttershy assured him.
They stumble into the Maramie who was guarding three separate doors.
"Excuse me but who are you?" Fluttershy asks.
"I'm here to set you free. Please choose door 1, 2, or 3." Maramie told them.
"Ugh, whatever lets go through door 2." Discord grunted.
"Wait, what if its another trap leading us to more trouble?" Applejack thought. "Who are you really?
"Uh, the time to go is now you see, so please choose a door and hurry." Maramie said.
"No time lets go." Fluttershy said.
All three of them went through door 3. The moment the door closed, Maramie transformed back into Chrysalis and smirks. "That'll slow them down. *laughs evilly*"
In another part of the mansion, Apple Bloom was recovering and woke up.
"Pinkie Pie, Twilight, Cheese?" Apple Bloom calls out. "Anypony?"
There was no answer from anyone.
"Great." Apple Bloom thought. "Ah lost em, who knew throwing this challenge would be easy. It'll be goodbye Trixie and hello to the million bits."
Unknown to her, a shy guy overheard everything.
Apple Bloom exits the mansion and found Sweetie Belle, Trixie, Twilight, and Rarity waiting outside.
"Wait. How did y'all get here?"
"Turns out if you die, then you're automatically transported to the other side of the mansion." Twilight told the filly. "Wait, they made it here too?
Applejack, Fluttershy, and Discord just got of the mansion as well. Chrysalis came out behind them looking frantic. "Guys help! All of my teammates were eaten by ghosts." Quickly notices her whole team right there. "Wait how'd you all get here?"
Pinkie Pie and Cheese Sandwich were thrown out of the mansion. "And stay out." A voice said.
"Since the screaming parasprites made it to end of the mansion first, they win immunity." Toad announces.
"Yes. I mean aw nuts." Apple Bloom quietly said to herself.
"Hey what is this?" Pinkie asks pointing to the large bob-omb.
"Oh that there is a super bob-omb." Toad answered, then his eyes just realized what is was. "SUPER BOB-OMB!?"
"Seriously? How many times will you be using explosives this season?" Applejack asks.
"Not enough, now get in your karts and RUN!"
Everyone drove away as fast as they could, and avoided getting caught in the explosion.
"That sure was a tough challenge everypony. Ah mean talk about suspenseful." Apple Bloom said.
A shy guy comes up to the misfit and no one understands what he's saying
"Does anyone know what he said?" Twilight asks.
"I'll try." Pinkie offered. "Can you repeat that please?"
The shy guy gave an outburst of murmuring and Pinkie tried to understand what he said.
"*gasps* Apple Bloom, you were throwing the challenge?" Pinkie asks with a shocked expression.
"What no ah wasn't." Apple Bloom pretending not know.
"Yes she was." Chrysalis chimed in and played the message from earlier. "Ah guess ah don't mind throwing another challenge for her tomorrow, so they'll have some quality bonding time together."
Everyone glared angrily at the filly. "Are you kidding me?" Trixie furiously said. "You cost us the challenge for the enemy? I mean that's low even for you."
Bonfire Ceremony - Killer Misfits
"Well guys, does anyone smell the tension for tonight?" Toad asks the team.
"Actually, none of us do." Twilight responded.
"Marshmallows of course, marshmallows for everyone..."
"Twilight."
"Sweetie Belle."
"Trixie."
"Pinkie Pie."
"...and the last one goes to...Cheese Sandwich."
Apple Bloom looks down in disappointment. "Ah knew this would happen. Ah well it was fun."
"Maybe for you challenge tosser." Trixie said.
Apple Bloom is in the cannon ready to be blasted off. "Any last words before you're blasted of into space?" Toad asks.
"WAIT!" Two voices called out.
Toad face palmed again. "Again? Why is Fluttershy interrupting the cannon along with Applejack?"
"Apple Bloom, I just want to thank you for what you did." Fluttershy said. "Applejack told me what happened."
"Well ah can't believe ah'm saying this, but ah know you and Discord will be very happy together." Apple Bloom said to her.
"Hello?" Toad interrupts. "On a schedule here."
"Just be safe sugarcube, and I'll win this for you." Applejack said to her sister.
"Ah know you will big sis, and remember to-" Apple Bloom's sentence was cut off by the cannon blasting her off the island.
"Finally, she talked way to much for my liking." Toad said feeling relieved. "Well, there's only 10 left and we're halfway there. Who will try to sabotage the others first? Will Fluttershy ever get a normal colt friend? Tune in next time for the next episode of Total Pony Returns!"
Clips for episode 12
"It is so essential that I win this, so I can get rid of that shy yellow pegasus. Otherwise, if she wins I'll just convince her to get rid of Discord, or I can get rid of that farm girl. Either way its a win for me."
"What is Queen Chrysalis talking about? Also, what will she be planning?
"Why is Fluttershy crying in this chapter?
Twilight: After the previous challenge, I realized that there are some ponies who care about me when I'm out of the shadows. But it also made me realize how dangerous it is when you're known and heard, so I made it my duty to step back in the shadows and let everyone else do the work.
I feel bad booting Apple Bloom from the competition, but it was gonna happen at some point.
I have a surprise for you in the next chapter. It'll be in the beginning of chapter 12.
