Episode 12
"Last time on Total Pony Island Returns." Toad began.
"I got you your triple bean latte expresso Mr. Toad sir." Jimmy interrupted.
"In the middle of me recapping the last episode?" Toad asks, then whacks Jimmy with a hammer spilling the coffee on him.
"*SCREAMS* It burns so good." Jimmy screams.
"Now go get some more." Toad commanded. "Ahem, last time on Total Pony Island-"
"Um señor?" Bobei cuts him off.
"WHAT!? WHY DOES EVERYONE FIND IT NECESSARY TO INTERRUPT ME WHEN I'M TRYING TO RECAP THE FREAKIN EPISODE?" Toad shouted.
"There's a problem with the island."
"I know. That's why we're having the show on the island."
"No señor, the island is such in ill repair, and it's literally falling apart." On cue, the tree on island fell down.
"Oh my. Well how do we stop this?"
"Just follow me and I'll show you. There's no time for recaps now."
"Well uh..." Toad stammered. "Apple Bloom tried to throw the challenge that Chrysalis tried to throw as well, but gave the parasprites the win. Pinkie Pie caused the mansion to blow up, and Applejack's little sister: Apple Bloom was voted off. Stay tuned while I find out WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON WITH THIS ISLAND HERE ON TOTAL PONY-"
"NOW SEÑOR TOAD!"
"Yipe."
Episode 12: Total Anonymous Pony Island
Everything on the island began to shaking and everyone rushed outside their cabins to find out the problem.
"Toad, what's happening?" Trixie asks.
"The island is malfunctioning." Toad tells the campers.
"Why in sam hill would an island malfunction?" Applejack asks confused.
"Well we don't take care of it, so the island is trying to destroy itself."
"That must've been what Princess Luna told us about." Twilight thought.
"Who was that?" Sweetie Belle asks.
"It's just the wind." Pinkie replied.
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.
"So how do you suppose we fix this?" Discord questions.
"That's what today's challenge will be." Toad responds
"Do you really expect us to fight for our lives?" Rarity shockingly asks.
"Literally. As of right now, you all will be competing against the other nine around you head-to-head. No more screaming parasprites and no more killer misfits."
"Bout time." Applejack said.
"Huzzah! The lord of chaos made it to the merge." Discord cheers.
"Great." Chrysalis said dryly.
"So did I." Pinkie added.
"Great." Trixie said dryly.
"So Bobei informed me there's a pause button deep inside the island's core, and he's shutting it off as we speak." Toad explains. "In the meantime, Bobei also told me in order to get the island back to normal is to help rebuild it. Today's challenge will be a 2 on 2 on 2 on 2 on 2 obstacle rebuilding relay race."
"Wow. Can it not be any more unoriginal?" Discord remarks.
"Gotta keep the earth green." Toad reminded him.
"But ya don't care about animals or humans, but ya still care about the earth?" Applejack points out.
"Hey! When we're all dead, do you know who will be there? The Earth."
"What do we have to do to stay alive?" Trixie asks.
"Easy. You will be put in five pairs and complete three obstacles." Toad explains. "First, you'll be doing the block bridge rebuilding. One player is on one end and the other player is on the other end. The player tossing the bricks to their partner has to build a bridge for your partner to cross. Second, you will cure the poisoned piranha plants and nurse them back to health. Finally, you and your partner have to go around and collect the trash scattered around in your colored area. The first team of two to complete all three obstacles wins invincibility tonight. Plus, as an added bonus, they get to decide who they can eliminate tonight."
Chrysalis: 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 could get rid of that farm pony. Still, its a win win for me.
"Okay, so Pinkie you're with Cheese Sandwich." Toad said.
"Wahoo!" Pinkie cheers.
"Trixie you're with Rarity."
Both unicorns glare at each other, then turn away.
"Applejack you're with Discord."
"Darn. I wanted Fluttershy." Discord muttered.
"Come on." Chrysalis prayed.
"Fluttershy you're with Chrysalis."
"Great." Chrysalis muttered angrily.
"That leaves Twilight...who just disappeared again with Sweetie Belle. Now go fix the island and hurry."
All teams of two get to work on the bridge challenge.
"So how are we gonna do this?" Discord asks his partner.
"You stay on that side and I can toss the bricks to put together." Applejack instructed.
Meanwhile, Trixie and Rarity are too busy arguing about the bridge.
"How do you expect me to make this bridge? I mean you have magic can't you do it?" Trixie asks.
"I would, but I'm not allowed to." Rarity replied. "You have to build the bridge and stop standing there bragging how better you are at being a fraud."
"Why you little..." Trixie blasts Rarity making her fur black. "HA! Who doesn't have magic now?"
"*screams* I look terrible in black." Rarity shrieks.
"Ugh, are you ready?" Chrysalis asks Fluttershy.
"Yes." Fluttershy answers. "That's one bridge piece, only five to go."
Both Pinkie Pie and Cheese Sandwich finish building their bridge. "Wahoo. We finished our bridge, that's 400 points." Pinkie cheers.
"Pinkie wait. We need to go a different way." Cheese suggested.
"Why?"
"We're going to check out the core."
"Now that I think of it, my Pinkie sense tells me there's something strange going on there. Lead the way Cheese."
"With pleasure." Both of them head of away from the challenge.
"Okay Sweetie Belle, lets do this together." Twilight tells her.
"But my magic isn't strong enough." Sweetie Belle said.
"Just give it a try."
"Almost done. Just three more." Applejack told Discord.
"Well hurry up already." Discord hustled.
"You can do it Discord." Fluttershy assured him.
"Hello? Lets focus on our bridge and not what the others are doing."
"Okay. Yikes." She ducks in time avoiding the block tossed at her.
"Alright we're done, come on Sweetie Belle." Twilight tells her, but doesn't see her. She was already singing to the piranha plants. Twilight met up with her. " Um, does singing actually work? She then saw the plant healed as soon as she finished singing. "Huh, I guess it does work."
"Is this the way in?" Pinkie asks.
"Of course it is lets go inside." Cheese Sandwich said.
"It sure is musty down here. I wonder where we are? *gasps* Oh my Celestia."
"Pinkie, focus."
"Sorry."
"That's the last block." Fluttershy said.
"Finally, now lets go already." Chrysalis hustled her.
They head on over to the piranha plants and Fluttershy works on curing them. "I can do this. Its alright there, I'm gonna make you feel all better in no time."
"Ugh." Chrysalis face hoofed.
"All done." Discord said.
"Great, now lets get a move on." Applejack tells Discord.
Trixie is still reluctant to put the bridge together. "Forget it, I turn you back to normal IF I feel like it."
Rarity was still glaring at her angrily. "You FIEND! This is the WORST...POSSIBLE...THING you ever did to me."
Back on the second obstacle, Twilight and Sweetie Belle finished healing the last piranha plant and head on over to the last obstacle.
"Would you hurry up already?" Chrysalis complains.
"I can't rush nature, and besides healing takes time." Fluttershy said.
"But apparently nature can rush you."
Applejack and Discord work on the second challenge with Discord yelling at the piranha plants. "I said HEAL already you lousy plants."
"Discord, you know that isn't gonna work."
Next thing she knew, it was completely healed.
"Ah stand corrected."
Chrysalis spots Discord and Applejack leaving the second obstacle. "Ugh, they got ahead of us. Nice going piranha whisperer."
Back in the cavern, Pinkie Pie is still looking around.
"Pinkie, over here." Cheese Sandwich calls out.
"What did you just find?" Pinkie zooms over.
"The switch is just down this hole."
"Let's go push it."
"Actually, I'll do it." Cheese volunteers, then jumps down the hole.
"CHEESE NO!" Pinkie screams.
"Okay Sweetie Belle this is it, we just need to pick up all the trash." Twilight instructed.
"I'm too tired to levitate anything." Sweetie Belle said feeling exhausted.
Twilight thinks for a bit, then hatches an idea. Pretends to act like a ghost: "I am the ghost of Twilight Sparkle. Do as I ask, or I will steal your soul."
Sweetie Belle giggles. "You're not really a ghost because Twilight never steals any souls."
"Then I'll have Discord take your friends' souls instead."
"NOOOO!"
Applejack and Discord are working on the last challenge. "Ha! Picking up trash is easy." Discord said.
"Well we're halfway through, but we gotta catch up with Twilight and Sweetie Belle." Applejack insisted.
"and I'm done, too much work." Discord complains.
"That's the last one." Fluttershy said.
"Finally, lets get going before the island collapses." Chrysalis ordered.
"Almost done with the trash." Sweetie Belle said with a scared expression. "Just please don't have Discord steal my friends' souls."
"Just keep going or I'll have Discord steal your sister's soul too." Twilight said still pretending to be a ghost.
"That's low even for you."
The island begins to shake even harder that some of the trees and rocks fall starting to destroy the island.
"Okay challenge overted!" Toad announces. "New task: RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!"
Everyone on the island starts panicking and runs around screaming.
Pinkie is still in the cavern with Cheese Sandwich. "Hurry Cheese, the island's gonna collapse."
"I'm going as fast as I can." Cheese said. He quickly spots the pause button, then leaps to it and pressed the button stopping the island from being destroyed.
Everyone meets back on the dock with Toad, Bobei, and Jimmy.
"Did we win?" Chrysalis asks.
"Nope, Bobei must've hit the pause button to stop the island from collapsing." Toad said.
Pinkie cuts in, "Actually, it was-"
"The REAL winners are Sweetie Belle and the ghostly alicorn of magic."
"Yay!" Sweetie Belle cheered.
"But Cheese saved us." Pinkie said.
"Nopony cares what you think." Trixie remarks.
Pinkie grew very angry.
Pinkie Pie: I don't see why Trixie has to be a meanie to me all of a sudden. I'm a fun loving party pony who shares happiness amongst other ponies. She doesn't act like that at all.
"Since Sweetie Belle and the ghost are immune. They have one hour to decide who to boot." Toad said.
Cheese Sandwich was taking a walk in the woods and hears someone coming. He hides in a bush to avoid being seen.
"Fluttershy."
"Yes Discord?"
"WE'RE DONE AS FRIENDS!"
Fluttershy's eyes widened. "Why?"
"I was using you the whole time. I never liked you, it was just a trick the whole time. You totally fell for it and this is last you ever see me because tonight is your last. So I say goodbye forever." Discord said with an angry tone.
Fluttershy tears up and ran quickly out of the woods still crying. The moment she left, Discord turns right back into Chrysalis. "That was so easy." She thought.
Cheese's eyes widened when he just discovered what he just witnessed.
Bonfire Ceremony
All ten of them were at the bonfire ceremony, Rarity's back to her old color, Pinkie is still mad, and Fluttershy is still crying.
"Was that a day or what?" Toad asks.
"Or what." Pinkie answered.
"It was just a rhetorical question Pinkie."
"What was?"
"Would you STOP talking already." Trixie complains.
"Hey, no asked you." Pinkie argues with her. "You're just being a great big meanie pants, so why don't you just-"
"Actually, if you don't mind me interrupting, why is Fluttershy so upset?" Toad asked.
"I have no idea." Discord replied. "She's not speaking to me either."
"Pity." Chrysalis smirks.
Cheese Sandwich gave her an angry glare.
Chrysalis: It was so easy: frame Discord for hurting Fluttershy, kindly get Sweetie Belle to vote her off and I give anything she desires. Pretty soon everyone sees Discord as a bad guy, then votes him off tomorrow. But with Pinkie and Cheese being closer than before they could get to the finals at this point.
Pinkie stood up, "I want to cast my vote right now. I vote for Trixie."
"Hey, you can't vote. That white filly has immunity, so please sit back down." Trixie protests.
"Well I know Sweetie Belle can vote for anyone she wants, so I'm gonna offer her a month of free cupcakes if she votes out Trixie." Pinkie said.
"WHAT!?" Trixie said with a shocked expression.
"Oh my goodness. That's like a lot of cupcakes." Sweetie Belle excitedly bounces up and down.
"She literally only said one month." Toad reminded her.
"Well...uh, I give two months of them if you choose her." Trixie pointed at Pinkie.
"Hey, you can't do that." Pinkie argues.
"Sweetie Belle you haven't forgotten what I offered you. You might want to think about it." Chrysalis remind her.
"Um, uh..." Sweetie Belle grew nervous.
"Trixie!" Pinkie said.
"Pinkie!" Trixie said.
"Our deal." Chrysalis said.
"Uh, um, uh..." Sweetie Belle couldn't decide with all this tension she was given.
Twilight leans over to her and whispers: "Vote out the changeling queen next to you."
"*screams* I can't take it anymore." Sweetie Belle shouted. "You! It's you. I don't who I'm pointing to, but it's just too much. I'm not sure who I'm pointing to, but I am voting for you."
"WHAT!?" Everyone shouted.
Everyone is on the dock: except for Fluttershy while Toad prepares to fire.
"Is there anything you want to say before you leave Cheese Sandwich?" Toad asks him.
"Yes there's a lot to say." Cheese quickly said. "First of all, that changeling right there has-"
"Time's up." Toad cuts him off. Cheese Sandwich screams as Toad fires the cannon sending him away.
"I'll never forget you." Pinkie calls out to him.
"Well there's only 9 left." Toad announces. "How much longer can this group hold on? What will the island plague us with next? And will anyone find out what's wrong with Fluttershy? Find out on the next episode of Total Pony Island Returns!"
Clips for episode 13
"Ever since my Spikey Wikey left me, I fell so alone without him."
"This is for you Cheese Sandwich!"
Next time...
"Wait, why do have a hunch that the scary changeling queen is after us?
"Ah have no idea sugarcube. but its just a feeling ah have that she's out to get us.
"How do you know?"
"It's just an instinct ah have."
"Oh we'll see who's instinct is right at elimination tonight."
Well I don't think no one was expecting that dramatic elimination.
Oh and the challenge, it was who completed the challenge.
The merge finally happens and now it everyone for themselves.

Don't ask about the nickname I gave Twilight, but if you do ask me I'll tell you it was the best I came up with.
