The skies were gray over Ponyville. Smoke came out from a couple of houses, and all the ponies in town were going mad. Screaming, throwing objects around, breaking windows. Sugarcube Corner was all boarded up, and the ponies outside were trying to get inside. The Cakes were inside with their babies. Mrs. Cakes was holding the Cake babies while they cried on her.
"Why won't they go away?" asked Mrs. Cakes.
"The whole towns gone mad! There is no more food!" cried Mr. Cakes.
"Why couldn't we just leave while we had the chance?" Mrs. Cakes asked with tears on her eyes.
Mr. Cakes gave her a hug. "Honey, if this is it, I wanted to let you know that I always... thought having babies was terrible. Why did we have to have kids?" The Cake babies stopped crying, looked at him angerly, and threw their diapers on his face. Some of the ponies were rioting at town hall. Mayor Mare was in front of city hall, all messed up. She started to speak.
"Please, Ponyville! We must not panic!" she cried. "The shortage of food is nothing to riot about. Let's just make do for what we have!"
"The Cakes at Sugarcube Corner won't let us in!" cried Cloud Chaser.
"Taco Shack has been burned to the ground!" cried Flitter.
"All the trees in Sweet Apple Acres have died!" cried Shy Blaze.
"There are no more muffins!" cried Derpy.
"We're all gonna starve at this rate!" cried another pony.
The Mayor was getting really nervous. "Everypony, please calm down!" she cried. "We must rely on hope. It's not gonna help us if we go mad!"
"Wait!" cried Sea Whirl. "I think the Mayor is hogging all the food in city hall!" All of Ponyville gasped, and ranted at the Mayor.
"I am not hogging anything in city hall!" cried the Mayor.
"GET THE MAYOR!" cried Berry Punch.
The Mayor was very scared, as everypony was starting to angerly attack her. But then the Mayor spotted something in the distance. "WAIT, everypony! Look!" The Mayor pointed to a limo carriage drive towards city hall. Red Engineer, and Aquatic Armor were pulling the carriage. Crystal Iceblast was driving it. She hopped off the carriage limo and opened the door. Blaze Goldheart and Psyche both walked out of the limo. They were wearing black suits and sunglasses, like they were secret agents.
"Step aside everypony. We know of somepony who can help." said Blaze.
"Please put your hooves together for the leetest, most awesome possum pony in town. Flare Gun!" said Psyche. Him and Blaze moved out of the way. Flare stepped out of the limo, wearing sunglasses on him. Everypony looked at him. Flare started walking slowly towards the crowd. The crowd all moved out of Flare's way as he walked towards the Mayor. The Mayor looked at him nervously. Flare stared at her, then took off his sunglasses. He turned towards the crowd and smiled.
"L-O-L!" said Flare. "Sup brahs? This is certainly an emergancy situation here. Ex dee! But I have to ask you all a question. Are you all ready for my question? Because I'm only gonna say this once." Flare stomped his hoof, then Crystal gave Flare a bottle of water, and he drank it. The crowd just stared at Flare in concern. Flare opened his mouth, was about to say something, and the crowd paid attention, but Flare just put a piece of gum in his mouth, started chewing, and blew a bubble. Somepony threw a crumbled piece of paper at him.
"GET ON WITH IT!" the pony cried.
"DON'T RUSH ME!" Flare yelled. "Kay kay. You all ready for my question? Because I'm only gonna say this..."
"I BELIEVE WE WENT THROUGH THIS! JUST SAY WHAT YOU NEED TO SAY!" the pony yelled.
"My question is..." Flare was silent for a second, then he smiled. "Smiley face. WHHHHOOOOOO'S HUNGRY?!" he yelled. The pony folk all cheered for Flare. Cherry Berry was about to grab Flare, but Psyche came in action, and tazed her.
"Don't worry, sir. Nopony will touch you while we're around." said Psyche.
"Execellent work, brah!" said Flare. "You deserve a cookie!" Flare gives Psyche a cookie.
"Thank you, sir." said Psyche. "I'm also as boring as usual.
"I know." said Flare. "EVERYPONY FOLLOW ME! TO FLARE'S PIZZA PARLOR!" The ponies all cheered. Flare walked towards the Pizza Parlor with his bodyguards, and everypony followed. They all arrived just outside his shop. "Brahs and sistas, you're about to witness what makes my pizza, the best in Equestria!" he cried. He opened the door, and went inside. Everypony tried to follow, but Blaze and Psyche blocked the door.
"Nopony is allowed to see Flare cook." said Blaze.
"Awww." the pony crowd said.
"But who wants to see how to build a sentry?" Engineer asked, as he bursted in front of the crowd with his wrench, and toolbox.
Flare walked in front of his employees Bon Bon, Lyra, and Derpy. "TEN HUT!" Flare cried. The three employees went into position and saluted.
"SIR! BIG BOSS, SIR!" cried Lyra.
"Soldiers, Ponyville has gone hungry." Flare said, while pasting back and fourth. "And it's our duty to give them what they want. With a small price of course, but anyways. It's time to fill in the biggest orders our Pizza Shop has ever made! As long as the ponies have money in their pockets, I will not stop, I will not rest, I will not play a single second on Skyrim until all those ponies are 100% satisfied! Bon Bon, register!"
"YES, SIR!" Bon Bon cried. She does a backflip over the counter, and salutes to Flare in front of the register.
"LYRA, COOKING!" cried Flare.
"YES, SIR!" Lyra cried. She rolls into the kitchen, and gets the ingrediants ready.
"DERPY, ENTERTAINMENT!" cried Flare.
"YES, SIR!" Derpy cried. She flies over to the stage and starts juggling muffins on a unicycle.
"Execellent work!" said Flare. Flare goes into his cabinet in his office, and finds his apron and chef hat. He puts them on, grabs his pizza spatchula, and does a heroic pose. "LET'S DO THIS THANG!" he cried. He takes out his walkie talkie. "Psyche? Blaze? Let them in! It's time to make pizzas, and chew bubblegum! And I'm full of pizzas, but all out of gum, so I'll have to use jawbreakers instead."
"Roger that." said Blaze. The pony crowd tramples on Blaze and Psyche as they run inside, and form a line in front of the register. Bon Bon wipes her sweat, and takes out her notepoad.
"May I take your order?" she asked. Lyra peeks outside.
"Flare, it's a full house out there!" she cried.
"No, it's a full resturant, herp-derp!" said Flare. "Now get into position, ON THE DOUBLE!"
"YES, SIR!" Lyra cried. Flare and Lyra were cooking in the kitchen, making sure everything's perfect. They made pizzas, spaghettis, eggplants, salads, soups, and even desserts. Flare sniffs one of the pizzas he made.
"Now for the finishing touches." he said. He takes out a mushroom with a pair of tweezers. "Shrooms! Now, we must carefully..." Flare slowly puts the mushroom on the pizza, with a consintrated look. A drop of sweat falls from his face, and as the mushroom goes on the pizza, Flare kicks the kitchen door opened. Everypony gasped. Flare uses his unicorn magic to take all the dishes from out of the kitchen. "Order up! Mischievious face!" he said. All the dishes he made went to all the tables. Everypony cheered, and started gobbling up their food. Derpy continued her entertainment on stage, and Flare just watched everypony eat. Everypony burped all at once as they were done with their dishes.. Everything went silent. "So what did you all think?" he asked. Nopony said anything, but then a few seconds later, everypony cheered. They all went up to Flare and picked him up.
"THREE CHEERS FOR THE BEST PIZZA CHEF EVER!" everypony cried. "HIP-HIP! HORRAY! HIP-HIP, HORRAY! HIP-HIP, GOOD MORNING PONYVILLE!"
Flare had a confused look on his face. "I'm sorry, what was that?" he asked.
"GOOD MORNING, PONYVILLE! IT'S TIME TO WAKE UP!" Vinyl Scratch cried out, while standing near the front door.
"Vinyl? What are you talking about?" asked Flare.
"It's time to get outta bed, everypony! Because the sun shining, and we're ready to start a new day!" cried Vinyl. Flare was asleep on his bed this whole time, it was all a dream. Vinyl was talking on Flare's clock radio. "Time to grab those bits, and I hope you're hungry! Because my good friend Flare Gun is having a big pizza sale at his Pizza Parlor in Ponyville. So get on up, and witness the best pizza in Equestria!"
"Smiley face!" said Flare. He turned off his radio and jumped out of bed. "Thank you Vinyl Scratch! It is such a beautiful day outside! Time to make pizzas, and spread the lulz! Because today isn't gonna be any ordinary day, I'll tell ya that much, brah!" Flare jumped in front of his fish tank. "HI FISHIES!"
"WHOA!" cried Rainbow. He bumped his head on the tank flitter. "OW! Does he have to do that?"
"I like it when he does that!" said Darrel.
"Morning, Darrel, Pearl, Rainbow, Dorthey, Yoyo, and Piddles! Guess what? I had that dream again! But it is no dream that I have the best pizza shop in Equestria!" said Flare.
"I've always wanted to try his pizza! But I can't leave the tank. It's too bad." said Yoyo.
"There there, Yoyo." said Pearl.
"RAINBOW! RAINBOW!" cried Darrel.
"What?" said Rainbow in an annoyed tone, and a sigh.
"GET UP, GET UP! He's about to feed us!" cried Darrel as he was pushing him up.
"I know, Darrel. I know. I'm already up, so stop-STOP PUSHING ME!" cried Rainbow. "Dorthey? Help!" Dorthey chases Darrel.
"Whoa, Dorthey!" said Darrel, as he was swimming away. "Jeez, if you wanted me to move, you could've just asked."
"The great Rainbow needs his space." said Dorthey.
"The 'great' Rainbow? HA! Now that's a laugh." said Piddles.
"Well he is the leader of the tank, Piddles." said Dorthey. "So how about you go chase your reflection again?"
"It's not a reflection for the last time! It's another fish, that's mimicing my every move!" said Piddles. Piddles looks at the glass, and sees his reflection. "HEY! This is my tank! This tank ain't big enough for the two of us!"
"Alright fishies, time for breakfast!" said Flare. He puts the fish food inside the tank.
"FOOD!" cried Dorthey and Yoyo. Dorthey swims up to the top and catches the food, but splashes Flare while he's at it.
"LOL! You like doing that, huh Dorthey?" said Flare. "You know something guys? My life here compared to my life in Mareami has been very interesting!" Flare turns on the shower and steps inside, but still talks to his fish. "I mean, back when I was living in Mareami, I had no friends, except for you guys and the Mare in the Moon. I've gone to the beach all the time at night to talk to the Mare. Tell her my secrets, some video game walkthroughts, or just to chat. But other than that, my life was terrible!" Flare turned off the shower and dried off. He turned on the blow dryer to dry his mane, and he also had a towel around his waist. "But after I moved to Ponyville, my life was fine and dandy! I met Pinkie Pie, Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Rarity, AppleJack, Blaze Goldheart, Psyche, Engineer, Crystal Iceblast, Aquatic Armor..." Flare continued saying the names of all his friends as he was putting on his blue vest, and black sneakers, while brushing his teeth, and even when he ate his breakfast.
"How much longer is he gonna say the names of his friends for the 19th time?" asked Pearl.
"Until the last breath escapes from his happy, jibberish mouth." said Dorthey.
"And the best part is, I have a great job, a great home, a great life, nothing can ruin my time here! Nothing!" said Flare. "I even got the Noble Six to keep my company! And let's not forget about how friendly all the pony folk are here, compared to the ones in Mareami. And let's not forget all the singing. I got pretty used to the life around here. I mean, at first I used to wonder what friendship could be... but then I took an arrow in the knee! Lion face."
"OLD JOKE!" cried Yoyo. "BOOOOOOOOO!"
Flare looked at the time on his cell phone. "Oh would you look at the time!" he said. The starting insturmental from the song 'Peace of Mind' by the group Boston started playing in the background. "Well fishies, I wish I could stay and hang out with those little things that mean everything to me, but I have to get to work!" Flare put on his satchel, then ran to the door and opened it. "And guys, anything possible, as long as you have a Peace of Mind!" He walked outside, and closed the door.
"Peace of mind? What did he mean about that?" asked Pearl.
"He's about to sing a song on the way to work, duh!" said Rainbow.
"I like to sing!" said Darrel.
"Don't you start with it." said Dorthey.
"Well I hope he doesn't come home too late to feed us." said Yoyo.
"HEY, GET BACK HERE! I'M NOT THROUGH WITH YOU YET!" Piddles yelled at his reflection while chasing it.
Flare started started skipping across town, and started singing. "Now if you're feelin kinda low 'bout the dues you've been paying. Future's coming much too slow." he sang. Then he jumped in front of a few ponies in front of a market stall. "And if you wanna run but somehow you just keep on stayin'. Can't decide on which way to goooo-whoa! YEAH YEAH YEAH!" he sang. "I understand about indecision." While he said 'indecision' the ponies from the market stall sang with him, then started singing 'Ooooooo' while Flare sang. "But I don't care if I get behind. Ponies livin in competition. All I want is to have my peace of mind." Flare taps his forehead with his shoes when he said 'mind', then he said, "Ow! YEEEAAAH!" Flare grabbed an apple from a stall with his tail, and ate it. "Whoa, whoa, whoa!" he sang. Flare continued to trot across town with some ponies following him. Flare spotted a ladder and started climbing it to the roof. "Now you're climbin to the top of the company ladder, hope it doesn't take too long." he sang. The ponies following him started climbing the ladder behind him. Flare gave them an evil look, and kicked the ladder down, and it started falling. "Can'tcha you see there'll come a day when it won't matter." he sang. Then he jumped down, and saw them hurt on the ground, then he gave them garlic rolls. "Come a day when you'll be goooone, oooooon." he sang. He trotted away, and appeared in the middle of town square with a spotlight over him, along with the pony choras behind him. "I understand about indecision. But I don't care if I get behind. Ponies livin in competition." he sang. Meanwhile in the sky, Derpy was pushing dark clouds over the sky, leaving the sunlight as a spotlight on Flare. Cloud Kicker gives Derpy a glare, while Derpy gives her an embarrassing smile. Cloud Kicker throws a rock at her head, and Derpy falls. "All I want is to have my peace of mind." Flare sang, while he put his hoof over Big Macintosh who was next to him.
"Eeeyup." said Big Mac.
Flare running, dancing, and jumping on objects and stalls across towns. "Take a look ahead!" he sang while he was on top of a stall. "Take a look ahead! Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!" he sang on a light post. "Ooo!" he cried. While the insturmental part of the music came on, he saw Cheerliee trying to fill a water can with water using her hose, but the hose didn't work. Cheerlie was sad. Flare went over to her water can and used the water from his horn to fill the water can up. Cheerilee smiled at Flare. Flare saluted at Cheerliee, and trotted off while she waved good-bye at Flare. Then he heard a 'meow' on the tree, it was Opal, Rarity's cat stuck on the tree. Flare thought, then he shot a blast from his horn, and Opal started falling. Then Flare caught Opal, and he set her down. As Flare trotted away, Opal's fur got all spiked up from Flare's blast. As Flare continued trotting to work, he saw Snips and Snails smiling at him, carrying a target. Flare gave them a smirk.
"IMMA FIRIN MAH LAZOR!" he cried. His horn started to glow, but his hornsaber activated. Flare was concerned. He shook his head, then deactivated his hornsaber. His horn glowed again, but he shot a flare at the target. Snips and Snails just looked at eachother, then back at Flare. Then Flare gave himself a facehoof. His horn faced the target, his horn started glowing again, and he was grunting and sweating while trying to get his SHOOP DA WHOOP spell working. Then eventually he fired his laser on the target, and the target got completely destroyed, and Snips and Snails had black ash on them from the blast. Then they cheered. "Happy face! LOLOLOLOLOLOL!" Flare said, while holding his arms out like a helicopter, and spun towards his Pizza Shop. Lyra was holding the door opened for him. Flare ran inside faster than wind. He ran passed Spike who was carrying his apron and hat. And as he ran by Bon Bon who was carrying a tray of dishes, she spun and fell over. Flare ran into the kitchen, and started cooking. He continued singing as he was putting a pizza in the oven. "Now everypony's got advise they just keep on givin." he sang, then he spun his pizza spatchula, then put it close to his face, and sang close to it like a microphone. "Doesn't mean too much to me." he sang. Then Bon Bon, Lyra, Spike, and Derpy (with a bump on her head) came up and sang the next part with him. "Lots of ponies out to make-believe they're livin'. Can't decide who they should be. WHOA-OH-OH-OOOOH!" Flare then walked out of the kitchen carrying dishes of food for everypony with his unicorn magic, and placed them on the tables. While he was doing so, Flare continued singing, and the customers were the choras. "I understand about indecision. But I don't care if I get behind. Ponies livin' in competition. All I want is to have my peace of mind." While he said 'peace of mind', he was holding a pizza shaped like a brain with a sign that said 'Pizza mind'. The customers were eating their food, and Flare was dancing, spinning, and jumping around. "Take a look ahead!" Flare sang while pointing to Rose Luck's head. "Take a look ahead!" Flare sang, while pointing a picture of Princess Luna's head. "Look a-heeeeaaaaaaaaaad!" Flare sang while holding a plastic pony head. Crystal Iceblast on was on stage tapping on the dums, and Red Engineer was playing the electric guitar, and Flare was dancing (in a silly way) on stage. While the ending insturmental of the song was playing, a dark flashy shadow swoops by the shop. At Rarity's shop, Rarity was making a dress. While she was getting more of her thread, her dress disappeared. Rarity was surprised, but then she saw a dark shadow and Rarity herself disappeared. At Sweet Apple Arces, AppleJack just kicked some apples down from a tree and they fell on buckets, then she kicked another tree, but the apples from the first tree disappeared. AppleJack was confused, but then the shadow ran by her and she disappeared. Pinkie Pie was putting frosting on a cake, but it disappeared while she was getting the cherry to put on top. Pinkie gasped, and then the shadow flash swooped by and Pinkie disappeared. Fluttershy was brushing Angel's hair, but then her curtons closed. Fluttershy turned around quickly, very scared. Then her candle lighting the house went out. Fluttershy shook in fear, and then the shadow flash swooped by and she herself disappeared. Angel's eye twitched, and he fainted. Rainbow Dash and her husband Blaze were flying in the sky really fast, but while Blaze had his eyes closed, Rainbow disappeared. Blaze's eyes opened, and he didn't see her there. He was confused. At Twilight Sparkle's house, she was writing a note, and reading a book. As she was doing that, Spike came in to check on her, and she disappeared right in front of him. Spike gasped, and started running towards Flare's shop while the insturmental of the song was just fading.
Over at Flare's shop, Flare was cleaning a table. Big Macintosh and Cheerilee went up to him. "Hi, Flare!" said Cheerile.
"Hey Cheery! Hey Big M!" said Flare.
"Howdy!" said Big Mac.
"Flare we just wanted thank you for the pizza. It was so good!" said Cheerilee.
"Eeeyup!" said Big Mac.
Flare was shocked. "Surprise face!" he cried. "You thought it was 'good'? I am disappointed."
Cheerilee giggled. "I meant it was great!" she said.
"C'mon you can do better than that!" said Flare.
"Go on." Big Mac said with a smile, elbowing her.
"Alright, it was the best pizza I ever had!" she cried.
"PRAISE THE WIZARDS!" cried Flare. "Now you're talking, Miss Teacher lady!"
"FLARE!" Spike cried, as he bursted through the door, and jumped on Flare's face.
"Sup brah?" Flare asked while Spike was still hanging on his face.
"Twi-Twi-Twi-Twi-Twi-Twi..." Spike went on.
"Alright Spike calm down." said Flare. He gave Spike a gem. "EEEEEEE!" Spike cried in glee. He took the gem and sucked on it.
"A happy dragon, is a stubborn dragon. L-O-L!" teased Flare. Spike ate the gem.
"Ah, now where was I?" Spike asked calmly. "Oh yeah, that's right!" Then Spike started freaking out again. "I was going home for my break, then when I got inside, Twilight just disappeared right in front of me!"
"LOLOLOLOLOL!" Flare laughed. "That's nothing to be afraid of, good buddy! She must be just trying out a new spell. Twilight loves spells! Even though she could work on her spell-ING. ROFLMAO!"
"No, you don't understand! I saw a big black shadow, and then Twilight just disappeared!" said Spike.
"That's nice, brah. Oh, and break time's over. The bathroom needs to be cleaned." Flare said, handing him a mop.
"The bathrooms are dirty again?" Spike complained.
"Yeah, weird huh? They always seem to get dirty everytime Snips and Snails come in." said Flare.
"FLARE!" Blaze cried, bursting into the shop, and jumping on Flare's face.
"You guys really like my face, don't you?" asked Flare. Blaze got off his face.
"Sorry 'bout that, dude." he said. "I was just flying with Rainbow Dash, and then she just disappeared."
"You too?" asked Spike.
"What do you mean 'you too'?" asked Blaze.
"After I went home to see Twilight, she disappeared!" said Spike.
"No way!" said Blaze in shock.
"Yes way!" said Spike.
Fluttershy's bunny Angel screeched as he bursted inside and jumped on Flare's face. "Why is everypony jumping on my face?" he asked.
"Every-'bunny'." said Spike.
"Shut up!" said Flare. "I'm assuming Fluttershy disappeared, right?" Angel notted. "Of course. How come I'm not surprised?" Flare uses his magic to take Angel off his face. "Guys, I don't know what's your problem, but I don't think they'd just disappear for no reason. Your eyes must be playing tricks on you."
"But I saw a dark flash just take Twilight!" said Spike.
Flare started walking outside his shop. "Yeah, a dark flash, right." Flare said sarcasticly. "I'll believe it when I see it."
A dark shadow flies by the sky. "HEEEEEEELLLLLP!" the Mane Six all cried at once. Flare saw the shadow, and heard the cry for help. Flare's eye pupils shrunk. "SURPRISE FACE!" he cried.
"Told ya." said Spike.
"I'm gonna spaz out now." Flare said calmly. Then Flare started screamming, and making weird noises. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH! OOOOOOOO! EEEEEEEEEE! OOOOO AAAAH AAAAH! DIIIIIIIIING DAAAAAAAANG! WALA BEAN BANG! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH! SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI! FRIEND FRIEND FRIEND! SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI!" Flare ran across atown, all freaked out. Ponies just watched him, looking either nervous or confused. Blaze charged at Flare, and tackled him.
"DUDE! CALM DOWN!" he cried.
"Calm down? CALM DOWN?! The Mane Six has been ponynapped!" Flare cried.
"I know, but it's no reason to spaz out about it!" said Blaze.
"Bro! A plot has been made! A plot!" Flare cried.
"Well, I never!" a pony with a big plot said, feeling insulted.
"What are you talking about?" asked Blaze.
"GAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!" Flare yelled in his face.
"Ew! Say it, don't spray it." Blaze said, wipping his face.
"This will help." Spike said, while carrying a pizza. He put the pizza inside Flare's opened screaming mouth. Flare ate the pizza, and started to calm down. "That's it, chew, chew, and swallow." he said.
"Thanks, brah!" Flare said with a smile.
"No problemo, dude!" said Spike.
"Sorry about that." said Flare.
Psyche, Engineer, Crystal, and Aqua came to the scene. "Dear Celestia, Flare! We can hear you across town!" said Psyche.
"What happened?" asked Crystal.
"The Mane Six has been ponynapped." said Blaze.
"WHAT?!" Aqua cried. "Oh that's not good."
"Why?" asked Blaze.
"The Mane Six are the ones who hold the Elements of Harmony." said Crystal.
"Yeah, so? What's your point?" Blaze asked in confusion.
"So that means if Twilight, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow, Fluttershy, Rarity, and AppleJack are all missing. That means a threat has been made towards Ponyville, or somewhere." said Crystal.
"Which means we might expect somepony to attack. And nothin can stop it." said Engineer.
"This isn't good." said Psyche. "We should report to the Princesses as soon as possible!"
The Cutie Mark Crusaders all ran to the Noble Six. "Flare! Flare! Mah sister has gone missin!" cried Apple Bloom.
"And my sister too!" cried Sweetie Belle.
"And my sister!" cried Scootaloo.
"Who's your sister?" asked Sweetie Belle.
"Rainbow Dash." said Scootaloo.
"She's not yer sister." said Apple Bloom.
"Well she said I was a sister to her." said Scootaloo.
"I know girls. I know. So we're gonna see the princesses." said Flare.
The three of them smiled. "Can we come?" they all asked. "Pleeeeeeeaaaaaaaase?"
"Kay kay." said Flare. They cheered. "TO THE FLAREMOBILE!" he cried, Flare jumped on a taxi. "TO CANTERLOT!" The Taxi pony started pulling the carriage really fast with Flare to Canterlot.
"HELLO?! YOU FORGOT US!" cried Psyche.
"We'll just take the train." said Aqua.
"Ew! I hate trains!" said Sweetie Belle.
Meanwhile, at Canterlot castle. Princess Celestia was looking at a crystal ball with a black shadow carrying a brown bag, where the Mane Six was struggling to get out. "Oh dear, this is terrible!" she said. The Noble Six, Spike, and the Crusaders all ran into Celestia's throne room.
"Princess Celestia!" Crystal cried.
"Noble Six! Thank goodness you're here!" said Celestia.
"Wait! Hold on!" said Flare. He stopped breaking, and the his shoes screeched like a car break. Crystal knocked into him, followed by Blaze, Psyche, Aqua, and finally Engineer which knocked them over.
"What's wrong?" asked Aqua.
"Is something wrong, Flare Gun?" asked Celestia. Flare stood on his hind hooves, crossing his front hooves, tapping one of his hind hooves, glaring at Celestia. "Oh..." she said. "LUNA?! We have visitors!" she shouted.
"Thank you, your highness." said Flare.
"Yes, sister?" Luna asked as she walked into the room. She saw the others. "Oh Greetings, Flare Gun, Noble Six! It's a good thing you're here!" she said.
"Hi Luna!" Flare said, waving at her.
"Your majesties. It was an average day in Ponyville. I was cleaning up the Ponyville lake, when suddenly, I heard a scream, and saw a dark shadow flying in the sky." said Aqua. "Coming from the others, it seems to be the Mane Six."
"I figured." said Celestia. "I was afraid of this day. My humble student, Twilight Sparkle, and her friends got ponynapped from an unknown source. It scares me very."
"Sure scared the life outta Flare here." said Crystal.
"I saw Twilight disappear, right in front of me!" said Spike.
"Yeah, same with Rainbow Dash." said Blaze.
Celestia sighed. "It's troubling to see those who hold the Elements of Harmony get ponynapped." she said. "I don't know where else to turn, but I don't seem to have much of a choice. Noble Six, we need you."
"AWWWW YEAH!" Flare yelled, and jumped. He just hung frozen in that pose he did in the air. The other's just looked at him.
"Are you quite finished?" asked Psyche.
"Just 5 more seconds." said Flare. After 5 seconds, he went back down. "There we go! Lion face."
"How did you do that?" asked Crystal.
"Logic don't matter 'round here, Crystal." said Engineer.
"It's great that we finally got our first major quest!" said Aqua. "What do we have to do?"
"A dark shadow has swooped into Ponyville and ponynapped the Mane Six, so..." Celestia explained.
"Yeah we got that part down." Crystal interupted.
"Right. And the shadow has taken them to Chaos Mountains." Celestia said, while looking in the crystal ball.
"Chaos mountains, huh?" said Blaze.
"Ah've had a match over there one time." said Engineer.
"Chaos mountains is a mysterious mountain, located at the peak of the Everfree Forest." said Celestia. "It used to be a home for our Chaos lord, Discord. Until it was abandoned."
"But it's not abandoned anymore." said Aqua.
"Duh!" said Crystal. "It's so obvious, Aqua!"
"We also have... other news." said Celestia. Cadance ran inside the throne room, crying.
"Princess Cadance! What's wrong?" asked Celestia.
"MY HUSBAND'S GONE!" Cadance cried.
"WHAT?!" Celestia and Luna gasped at the same time.
"You mean Shining Armor?" asked Sweetie Belle.
"No, she means the Ice King. Who do you think?" Scootaloo asked sarcasticly.
"Well excuse me for wondering." said Sweetie Belle.
"My Shining Armor has disappeared!" cried Cadance. She dropped on the floor, sobbing. Aqua walked to her.
"There there, Cadance." said Aqua.
"That's not all. Half of our royal guards have gone missing too." said Luna.
"Yeah, mine too." said Cadance.
"What's with all the missin ponies?" asked Engineer.
"This plot really means business!" said Blaze.
"Don't worry, Celestia and Luna. We shall bring dem back, and save the day!" said Engineer.
"Thank you, Red Engineer." said Celestia.
"Please follow me. I have some supplies, and some other stuff to give you." said Luna. Everypony followed Luna to the Royal Guard barracks. "Many of our guards have also disappeared. Not all of them though. And without our captain, it doesn't seem the guards know exactly what to do."
"What could a dark spirit want with the Mane Six, Shining Armor, and half of the royal guards from Equestria and the Crystal Kingdom?" asked Psyche.
"I too am also missing some guards." said Luna.
"Yeah, it doesn't seem to surprise us." said Engineer.
"Whoa, this is so cool!" Apple Bloom said, while looking around the guard barracks. "Maybe ah should be a royal guard."
"Like you have the guts." teased Scootaloo.
"Yeah good point." said Apple Bloom. "Wait, WHAT?!"
"I wanna try some armor on." said Sweetie Belle. She goes through a trunk, and puts on a guard helmet. "How do I look?"
"Like Sweetie Belle with a guard helmet on." Apple Bloom said and giggled. Scootaloo picks up a mace, and swims it around.
"Wow! This thing's so cool!" said Scootaloo.
"Careful with that thing, Scoots!" said Sweetie Belle.
"What's gonna happen?" Scootaloo asked not caring. She swings the mace on a statue, and falls on another statue, and it falls on another statue, and keeps going on like dominos. "Oops." she said.
"Ya'll are so busted!" said Apple Bloom.
Luna opened the doors to the supply room, and turned on the lights. The supply room was full of food, maps, and books. "Wow! This is so cool!" said Crystal.
"Ah might be able to build a transformer outta all these supplies!" said Engineer.
"Take whatever food you might need for your journey." said Luna. "The map to Chaos Mountains is right here." Luna used her magic to give Psyche the map.
"This doesn't seem to be a dangerous route." said Psyche. "We'll get through this, no problem!"
"Woops, that's the old map. Hang on." said Luna. She used her magic to take back the map Psyche had, and gave him a new map. "This is the present map."
Psyche was in shock. "Yeah... that's a pretty dangerous route." he said.
Engineer and Crystal were gathering lots of boxes of food. "This will be enough to feed us for weeks!" said Engineer.
"But it's only a six hour hike." said Psyche.
"So? The more food we have the better!" said Engineer.
"Just put a couple of cans in your satchels." said Psyche.
Engineer sighed. "Fine." he said.
"Always ruining the fun for us, Psyche." said Crystal.
"Thank you, Princess Luna! We promise we won't fail you!" said Aqua.
"Isn't this great brahs? We're going on our first major adventure! We're gonna be heroes! PRAISE THE WIZARDS!" cried Flare.
"Wait, Flare Gun. I have something that might interest you." said Luna.
"Is it a winning lotto ticket?" asked Flare.
"Uhh... no." said Luna.
"Barnacles!" said Flare.
"I have a couple of new spells for you. Just in case." Luna said, taking out a magic book.
"That works too! Kay, what do you have in stock for me?" asked Flare.
Luna shows Flare the book. "The Rail-spell. You can fire a force-pushing beam." said Luna.
"Similar to my blast spell." said Flare.
"Yeah, except it has more strength, and it burns less." said Luna. "Your blast spell actually can burn a pony."
"Oops. And I just used it on Rarity's cat earilier." said Flare.
"Give it a test!" said Luna.
"Kay." said Flare. "Engine, hold still!"
"No, yer not gonna fire at meh with that spell!" cried Engineer. "DON'T YA'LL DARE DO IT!" Flare blasted the can of beans out of his hoof. "Oh. Whah didn't ya tell meh ya'll were firing the can of beans?"
"You didn't ask. Winkey face." said Flare.
"Good point. Good aim too." said Engineer.
"Yeah, that was a great spell, Flare! Pretty effective." said Aqua.
"Thanks, Aqua!" said Flare. "And thank you Luna! I less then three the Rail-blast Spell!"
"If you love that spell, you'll fall for this next spell!" said Luna. Luna turns the pages of the spell book with her magic. Flare touches the book while the pages were turning, then quickly pulls his hoof away.
"OW! Paper cut!" he cried. He started sucking his hoof. Then the book stopped turning the pages. He looked at the book. Flare's eye pupils crew, and he smiled. "SUPER HAPPY FACE!" he cried. "NO WAY!"
"That's right, Flare Gun!" said Luna. "The Armor Lock spell!"
"NO WAY! I've always wanted to know that spell!" he cried.
"Armor lock, huh? Like from Halo." said Blaze.
"Go on, Flare! Give that spell a try!" said Aqua.
"You have to duck down though, and you won't be able to move. But you'll be completely invulnerable." said Luna.
"Kay... I'll try." said Flare. He ducks down, with his horn glowing. Flare grunts, and sweats, while his friends just watch. Then a plasma beam covers his entire body. "YES! I DID IT! Aqua, fire one of your spells at me!"
"Okay." said Aqua. He squirts a ton of water out of his horn on Flare, and the water just vapiorized as it hit the beam on Flare. "Wow! That thing really works!"
"No way. Let me try!" said Blaze. He breathes fire on Flare, and it didn't even harm him.
"Didn't even feel the heat!" said Flare.
"Wait... how did you breathe fire?" asked Crystal.
"I told you guys, I'm half-dragon!" said Blaze.
"NO WAY!" cried Crystal.
"Yes way!" said Blaze.
"That is so cool!" said Spike.
Flare turned off his spell and walked towards Blaze. "Well, well! My buddy, Blaze Goldheart, is half-pony, half-dragon! Which of your parents is the dragon?" he asked.
"My mom," said Blaze.
"Then I'll take back all those 'your mom' jokes I said to you." said Flare.
"Oh... thanks." said Blaze.
"Who knew that Blaze was actually part dragon!" said Engineer.
"We thought you were joking around when you said you were part-dragon!" said Crystal.
"Alright guys, alright." Blaze said and chuckled. "We'll admire my other half later. First, we have a job to do."
"Hey guys! Guess what?" said Flare. He activated his armor lock spell. "I HAVE ARMOR LOCK NOW!"
"Okay, we've been through that, Flare." said Psyche.
"But this is so cool, Psyche!" said Flare. "I've always wanted this spell!" He deactiavted the spell. "Try to touch me? Oh, nope!" He activated the spell again. "Because I have armor lock!" He deactivated the spell again. "You gonna fire that rocket at me? It ain't gonna harm me!" He activated his spell again. "'Cause I have armor lock, baby!" He deactivated his spell again. His friends shook their heads, and some were facehoofing, and some were giggling. "You gonna try to punch me in the face, or kick me in the plot? Nope! Can't has. Know why?" He activated his spell again. "Because I have learned armor lock!"
"Okay, Flare. We get it!" said Psyche.
"Wait, I got one more!" said Flare. "Hey why you trying to push me? I dare you to push me again, brah!" He actiavtes his spell again. "Because you'll feel the wrath of Flare Gun's armor lock!" He deactivated his spell. "This is possum grade awesome!"
"Why can't I be a unicorn? That spell is so cool!" said Crystal.
"I don't think we're gonna be hearing the end of it, Crystal." said Blaze.
"Red Engineer, Crystal Iceblast, Blaze Goldheart, Psyche, Aquatic Armor, and Flare Gun..." Luna started.
"Why am I always last?" Flare complained.
"The fate of Equestria rests on your hooves!" said Luna.
"The fate of Equestria? I didn't know losing the Mane Six was this much of a big deal!" said Aqua.
"If those who hold the Elements of Harmony are captured, then any powerful being can attack Equestria! You must find them, and bring them back. I dub thee good luck to you all!" said Luna.
"This seems trippy." said Spike.
"I'm sure you'll all be fine." said Luna. "Good luck!"
"Alright guys! Let's go!" said Blaze. Blaze holds his hoof out. "With courage..."
"With dignity..." Psyche said, holding his hoof on top of Blaze's.
"With kicking plot..." Crystal said, holding her hoof on top of Psyche's.
"With hope..." Aqua said, holding his hoof on top of Crystal's.
"With our heavy hearts..." Engineer said, holding his hoof on top of Aqua's.
"And spreading the lulz..." Flare said, holding his hoof on top of Engineer's.
"We'll be... UNSTOPPABLE!" cried Blaze.
"UNSTOPPABLE!" they all cried out, and holding their hooves in the air. They ran back to the to the guard barrack about to head out, but they saw the room a mess. Then they looked at the Crusaders who were standing there with guard armor on. The three crusaders let out an embarrassing smile, and a squee.
"If we had the time to deal with this, and if we cared, then the three of you would be in big trouble." said Psyche.
"She did it!" the three cried out, pointing to eachother.
The Noble Six all ran out of the castle, with Spike on Flare's back, Apple Bloom on Psyche's back, Scootaloo on Blaze's back, and Sweetie Belle on Crystal's back. Princess Celestia, and Cadance watched them run off from the castle towers. Luna joined them.
"Good luck, Noble Six." said Celestia.
"Stay safe, and bring my husband back unharmed!" said Cadance.
A couple of hours later, back in Ponyville, Flare was in his trailer, with his fish. "Alright guys. I left the auto feeder for you. You guys should be fine while I'm gone." he said.
"Not unless Yoyo eats all the food." said Piddles.
"Oh, ha ha. Very funny, Piddles." said Yoyo.
"I dunno how long I'll be gone for. I wish to stay with you guys. But my friends and I have a job to do." Flare said, looking out the window, and putting on his satchel. "Remember when I said today wasn't gonna be any ordinary day? LOL remember fishies?"
"He's gotta stop doing that." said Rainbow.
"I was correct. This day wasn't gonna be any ordinary day." said Flare. "Because it's time for the Noble Six to offically rise to what they were made for! We're going to Chaos Mountains and rescue the Mane Six, Shining Armor, and... those other guards that aren't worth mentioning. ROFLMAO!" Flare opens his door. "I'll leave the trailer secured. I less then three you guys so much, and don't worry! I'll be back, I promise!" Flare turns on his security on his trailer, closes his door, and locks it.
"Goodbye Flare." all the fish said at the same time.
"Well the coast is clear!" said Dorthey. "For at least two days, we'll have the whole trailer to ourselves!"
"But we can't leave the tank, remember?" asked Pearl.
"LOL remember Dorthey?" teased Darrel.
"Oh no! Don't you start doing it!" Dorthey ordered.
Flare walked towards Bon Bon and Lyra who were waiting for him outside. "Good luck on your quest, Flare!" Lyra said, giving him a hug.
"Be very careful!" Bon Bon said, also giving him a hug.
"I'll be fine. Just take care of the shop while we're gone." said Flare.
"So which one of us is in charge?" asked Bon Bon.
"It's obviously gonna be me!" said Lyra.
"I can't choose between you two, so you're both in charge, kay? Kay." said Flare. "But just do what you always do. Stay on task, and stay away from my safe!"
"Don't worry, Flare! It'll be like you never left!" said Bon Bon.
"Except that you did." said Lyra.
Psyche was putting his satchel on, and Derpy put a couple of muffins in it for him. "A little something for the trip, Psyche." said Derpy.
"Thank you, Derpy. You're a great friend! Watch my house, make sure nopony steals my supplies. And make sure you don't break them." said Psyche.
Derpy gives Psyche a big hug. "Don't worry, Psyche. You can count on me!" said Derpy.
Blaze was talking to Spitfire, captain of the Wonderbolts. "I don't know how long I'll be gone for. So I don't think I'll make it to this week's Nashorse race." said Blaze.
"Don't sweat it, Blaze." said Spitfire while tapping his shoulder. "I was gonna play a prank on you in that race, but eh... luckily you had this quest to do."
Blaze play punched her shoulder. "Shut up!" he said to her, playfully. Spitfire play punched him back, then Blaze play punched her again, then Spitfire punched him, but hard. "OW!" he cried.
"Oh, woops. Sorry, Blaze." said Spitfire.
"I think you broke my shoulder! OW!" cried Blaze.
"I'm so sorry!" Spitfire cried in worry.
Then Blaze smiled at her. "Just kidding!" he said.
"Oh, Blaze!" she said, punching him in the shoulder again.
"OW! That one actually hurt!" Blaze cried.
The Crusaders were walking towards the Noble Six, carrying satchels. "Apple Bloom!" she said saluting.
"Sweetie Belle." she said, saluting.
"And Scootaloo!" she said, saluting.
"Reporting for duty, Noble Six!" they said at the same time.
"What's going on?" asked Aqua.
"We're coming with you guys, right?" asked Apple Bloom.
"Oh... uhh... sorry girls. This trip is too dangerous for little fillies like you." said Flare.
"WHAT?!" they all said at the same time.
"That's not fair! Spike's going!" Sweetie Belle complained.
"Spike's a dragon, he can take care of himself." said Engineer.
"But we can help kick plot! We've been practicing! You'll see!" said Scootaloo.
"Look, did your parents say you could?" asked Blaze.
"Rarity's captured, and my parents are on vacation. There's nopony around to watch over me." said Sweetie Belle.
"Big Macintosh asked if it was okay with you." said Apple Bloom.
"Look, this job is too dangerous for you. The princesses hired us to do this." said Aqua.
"But... but..." the Crusaders said.
"No buts. Now the three of you, stay here where's it safe." said Blaze.
"We'll give ya'll some souvineers! How 'bout that?" Engineer suggested.
"No, forget it." said Apple Bloom angerly.
"And just as we thought you guys were cool." said Scootaloo angerly. The three of them walked away angerly.
"They don't look too happy." said Crystal.
"Well this job is not a job for three young fillies that are still trying to earn their cutie marks to attend in this mission. They'll just slow us down. And they might whine, or mess up anyway." said Psyche.
"And Spike doesn't?" asked Crystal.
"Hey I don't whine! I'm old enough, and strong enough to take care of myself!" Spike whinned.
"C'mon guys, time's a-wastin!" said Engineer.
"Alright! Let's go Noble Six! To Chaos Mountain!" Flare cried. The Noble Six, and Spike all ran into the Everfree Forest. The Crusaders just watched them leave, with upset looks on their faces.
"C'mon, let's go!" Scootaloo said, while beginning to walk towards the forest.
"Wait, in there?" asked Apple Bloom.
"Where else?" asked Scootaloo. "There's nothing to do in this boring town."
"But Flare said we hafta stay here, where's it safe." said Apple Bloom.
"They all said that. We're old enough to take care of ourselves! Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and AppleJack are up in that mountain, and they need our help!" said Scootaloo.
"But we'll be in trouble, and what if we get hurt?" asked Sweetie Belle.
"Look, this is also a chance to get our cutie marks, and prove to the Noble Six that we can take care of ourselves!" said Scootaloo. "Now you girls with me, or not?"
"You got it, Scootaloo!" cried Apple Bloom. "For our cutie marks, and proving that the Cutie Mark Crusaders are the best there is!"
"You guys sure about this?" asked Sweetie Belle.
"If you want, you can stay, all alone... with Twist." Scootaloo said, while her and Apple Bloom start walking into the forest. Sweetie Belle turns around and sees Twist waving at her.
"Girls, wait up!" Sweetie Belle yelled while running into the forest along with them.
The Noble Six are walking through the Everfree Forest while Flare kept using his Armor Lock spell. "Oh yeah, I'm unstoppable. You know why? Because I have armor lock!" he said, while he kept turning on and off his spell. "Go ahead liger, you wanna attack!? I dare you to attack a leet pony that has armor lock! Oh look out, a butterfly! Better not touch me, because I'm activating armor lock! Armor lock! Armor lock! Armor lock! Armor lock! Armor lock! Armor lock! Armor lock!" Crystal looked down on the ground upset, because she doesn't have armor lock. Aqua's eye was twitching, Blaze covered his ears with some tissue, Engineer kept hitting his head on his satchel, Spike was covering his ears, and Psyche was just about to lose it.
"ALRIGHT, WE GET IT! WE KNOW YOU HAVE ARMOR LOCK! JUST SHUT UP!" he yelled.
"You jealous bro?" asked Flare.
"Not really." said Psyche.
"I think Crystal is though." said Aqua.
"AM NOT!" Crystal yelled with tears on her eyes. "I'm not jealous. Not at all. It's just..."
"Yeah she's jealous." Engineer said with a chuckle.
"SHUT IT, ENGIE!" Crystal yelled at him. Engineer just kept laughing.
Spike goes through Blaze's satchel, takes out some of his cans, and throws them aside while saying, "No, no, no, no, no, no, no... Wait, what's this?" Spike finds a sapphire, and takes it out. "Oh yeah, that's what I'm talking about! I should hang with you more often Blaze. It seems you eat gems too!"
"Of course I do, Spike." said Blaze. "I am part dragon after all, so I must..." Blaze had a concern look on his face. "HEY! Quit going through my satchel!"
"But I'm hungry." said Spike.
"Yeah me too." said Aqua. He uses his unicorn magic to take out a bag of chips. Aqua licks his lips, and opens the bag. Just as he was about to eat his chips, his chips started floating out of the bag and into Flare's mouth. Flare used his magic to steal Aqua's chips. Aqua looked in his bag in shock. "Hey, where did my chips go?"
"Yummy! Even though I prefer salt and viniger." said Flare.
"Flare did you steal my chips?" asked Aqua.
"No, I borrowed them. You'll have them back next time I go to the bathroom. ROFLMAO!" teased Flare.
"Eeck! Forget I asked." said Aqua.
"No way! You had chips?" Spike asked Aqua.
"Yeah, but they were mine." said Aqua.
"I have some pringles, if you want some Spike." said Flare.
"I don't trust riding on you. I think you're gonna do armor lock while I'm on your back." said Spike.
"I promise not to activate armor lock while you're on my back." said Flare.
"Alright, you pinkie promise?" asked Spike.
"Cross my heart, hope to fly. Stick a cupcake in my eye." Flare said, while putting a garlic roll on his eye.
"That's a garlic roll, partner. Not a cupcake." said Engineer.
"Yeah I know. This really burns my eye." said Flare.
"Alright, here I come, dude." Spike said. Just as Spike was jumping on Flare's back. Flare activated armor lock.
"ARMOR LOCK!" cried Flare. Spike was bounced away from Flare's back, and he fell down.
"DUDE! You pinkie promised!" said Spike.
"You weren't on my back yet. Herp-derp!" said Flare. "I activated armor lock before you came on my back, dum dum. ROFLMAO!"
Spike got up, and bounced on Psyche's back. "I sometimes wonder what's in that head of yours, Flare." Spike said.
"You and me both, brah." said Psyche.
"Wait guys. Stop." said Aqua. They all stopped at a cliffside, with a broken bridge.
"Great! That's just great!" said Blaze.
"What are you complaining about? You, Crystal, and Psyche have wings." said Aqua.
"But what about Engineer, you, and Flare?" asked Blaze.
"Why do you keep putting me last?" asked Flare.
"Can't you guys carry us?" asked Aqua.
"I'm not that strong, Aqua." said Psyche.
"Me neither." said Crystal.
"And I can only carry one pony. I can't carry all three of you." said Blaze.
"Why couldn't we get transportation from Princess Celestia?" asked Crystal.
"Or Luna, don't forget Luna." said Flare.
"Because we just rushed out of the castle, thinking we can handle any obsticle in our path." said Psyche. "Why didn't we think about this sooner?"
"Well, we gotta think of something." said Blaze.
"Wait, I just got an idea!" said Flare.
"I don't like your ideas that much, Flare. No offense, dude." said Psyche.
"None taken. But I think the transportation I'm thinking of will be the best idea any of us made all day!" said Flare.
"So far, none of us had any ideas yet." said Engineer.
"But first... a song!" said Flare.
"A song?" asked Blaze.
"NO! This isn't an event. I'm not singing." said Psyche.
"But this is an important mission. And if you want that transportation, you're going to have to sing." said Flare.
"Forget it!" said Psyche.
"Then we'll just sit here until one of you figures out a better idea." said Flare. Everypony was silent for few seconds. "Anypony got an idea yet?"
"Nope, ah got nothin." said Engineer.
"Yeah, I can't think of anything." said Aqua.
"C'mon Psyche, sing." said Blaze. "Just one song. Please?" Psyche was silent, everypony was looking at him.
"I'm getting real tired of waiting, Psyche. We're really not going anywhere closer to our objective, dude." said Spike.
Psyche looks at Flare. "Fine. One song, and that's it. I'm singing anymore after."
"Don't worry, I'm not expecting you to sing anymore after this... today." said Flare.
"For a while." said Psyche.
"Fine." said Flare. Spike started playing the beginning part of 'Come Sail Away' on the piano.
"Where did you find the piano, Spike?" asked Aqua.
"I dunno, just found it here." Spike said, while he continued playing.
"Here, I'll start." said Flare. He cleared his throat and started singing. "I'm sailing away."
"Actually we're just standin here." said Engineer.
"Set an open course for the Virgin Sea." sang Flare. "Cause I've got to be free. Free to face the life, that's ahead of me. On board, I'm the captain. So climb aboard."
"Why do you get to be captain?" asked Crystal.
"We'll search for tomorrow, on every shore." sang Flare. "And I'll try, oh Hope, I'll try! To caaaaarry on!"
"Wow, singing can really make a pony happy." said Aqua.
"But when Flare sings, it just sounds wrong." said Blaze.
"Go, Engie! Your turn!" said Flare.
"Oh." Engineer said, and he cleared his throat. "Ahhhhh look to the sea." he sang.
"Reflections in the waves, spark my memory." Crystal sang.
"Some happy, some sad." Blaze sang.
Aqua put his hooves around Blaze and Crystal. "I think of childhood friends, and the dreams we had."
Flare punched Psyche's shoulder. "C'mon, Psyche!" he said.
Psyche sighed. "We live happily together." he sang.
"Like you mean it." said Flare.
"So the story goes." Psyche sang, a little better.
"You can do better!" said Flare.
"But somehow we missed out." Psyche sang.
"Almost there, brah!" said Flare.
"On the pot of gold." Psyche sang, and smiled. "But we'll try, best that we can... to caaaaarry on!" The music in the background started to get more upbeat. "YEAH! That felt good!" Psyche cried.
"See? I told you that singing can make a pony happy!" said Aqua.
"I knew you had it in you, Psyche!" said Flare.
"Heh, thanks." said Psyche. "I guess I do."
"A gathering of angels, appeared above my head." Flare sang. "They to me this song of hope, and this is what they said, they said..."
"Come sail away, come sail away, come and sail away with me!" they all sang while looking on a TV screen near Spike, with the lyrics.
"Lads." said Flare.
"Come sail away, come sail away, come and sail away with me!" they all sang. "Come sail away, come sail away, come and sail away with me!"
"Baby." said Flare.
"Come sail away, come sail away, come and sail away with meeeeee!" they all sang. Flare takes out a remote, pushes the button, and the trees start get windy. While the insturmental of the song was on, a helicopter with some 'LOL's and 'ROFL's on it came flying down automaticlly towards them.
"We sang a song for this thing?" asked Psyche.
"What is that thing?" asked Engineer.
"That's my ROFLCOPTER." said Flare.
"What does it do?" asked Aqua.
"It can fly up to six ponies to any location! It can fly up to 120,000 feet, and fly up to 60 M-P-H." said Flare.
"Oh really? Anything else?" asked Crystal.
Flare takes his arms out, and spins around. "And it also goes SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI."
"Uh huh." said Crystal. "So who's driving?"
"Obviously me! This is my copter!" said Flare.
"I don't think you have the experience, my friend. Let me drive." said Psyche.
"I don't think you have the experience either." said Flare.
"Look, I'm a member of the Wonderbolts. I should drive." said Blaze.
"Ya'll don't know your technology, let me drive." said Engineer.
"You stallions are no match for the brains of us mares." said Crystal.
"That doesn't make any sense, Crystal." said Aqua
They all get inside the helicopter, fighting for the driver's seat. While they were pushing and shoving eachother around, the ROFLCOPTER started to slide off the cliff. They realized what they were doing, they stopped, and the ROFLCOPTER started falling into the trench. As the music in the background started to get upbeat again, the ROFLCOPTER flew out of the trench and started to fly away.
"Wow! That was a close call!" said Aqua.
"This thing is pretty cool, Flare!" said Crystal.
"Yeah, I'd wanna get one of these things myself, maybe!" said Blaze.
"Well it's smooth sailin from here on out!" said Engineer.
"I thought that they were angels, but to my surprise. We climbed aboard their starship, we headin for the skies, singing..." Flare sang.
"Come sail away, come sail away, come and sail away with me!" they all sang.
"Wait, uhh... LADS!" said Flare.
"Come sail away, come sail away, come and sail away with me!" they continued singing. "Come sail away, come sail away, come and sail away with me! Come sail away, come sail away, come and sail away with me..." they continued singing as they were flying to the mountain. Meanwhile back at the trench, the Cutie Mark Crusaders got caught up.
"Oh great! Now what?" Apple Bloom complained.
"When did Flare get a contraption like that?" asked Sweetie Belle.
"Well we lost 'em. We're doomed." said Apple Bloom.
"Told you this was a bad idea." said Sweetie Belle.
"No you didn't!" said Apple Bloom.
"Yes I did." said Sweetie Belle.
"No you didn't!" said Apple Bloom.
"Will you two stop arguing, and hop on?" Scootaloo asked them while hanging on a glider.
"Scoots, where did ya get that glider?" asked Apple Bloom.
"I just found it. We can use this to catch up to Flare and the others." said Scootaloo.
"Well, I rest my case then. Sorry I yelled at you, Apple Bloom." said Sweetie Belle.
"Right back ya!" said Apple Bloom. They both hugged.
"Yeah, this is cute and all, but we gotta go." said Scootaloo. Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom notted, hung onto the glider, and they started flying away with it.
"Weeeeeee!" they all said.
Back with the Noble Six and Spike, they were flying the ROFLCOPTER to Chaos Mountain. They were so close.
"There it is!" Aqua said, pointing to it. "Chaos Mountain! Looks scarier in person."
"Holy Wizard of Strength, guys. We made it this far." said Flare.
"Hey I just realized, why didn't we use this before we left Ponyville?" asked Crystal.
"Didn't cross my mind. I thought of only using it if it was important." said Flare. "Oh for Wizard of Hope's sake!"
"What's wrong, Flare?" asked Blaze.
"I think we're out of gas." said Flare.
"But we were only in the air for 20 minutes!" said Blaze.
"Yeah, I guess I remember why we didn't use it while we were still in Ponyville." said Flare. The ROFLCOPTER started falling out of the sky. The Noble Six and Spike were all screamming as the ROFLCOPTER fell. It crashed on a dead tree.
"Is everypony okay?" asked Aqua.
"Yeah we're fine." said Psyche.
"Oh no, my ROFLCOPTER!" Flare whinned.
"Don't worry about yer ROFLCOPTER, Flare. Ah'm sure we can fix it up later." said Engineer.
"But first we need to get inside the mountain." said Crystal. They all looked at the scary looking mountain. The mountain had lots of spikes, and a dark cloud swirling around it, while lightning kept striking the top.
"Hey that reminds me of the Citadel from Half-Life: Episode One! Remember when the Citadel had that scary looking cloud swirling around it?" asked Flare.
"Except this time we're getting inside... not avoiding it." said Spike.
"This is it, partners. Be careful." said Engineer.
"I got a bad feeling about this." said Spike.
"This isn't Star Wars, Spike." said Engineer. The Noble Six all walked towards the mountain. They saw a cave somewhere at the bottom.
"That must be the entrance to the mountain." said Crystal.
"Why would they put it all the way down here?" asked Blaze.
"Hey it saves us the climbin at least. C'mon let's go in." said Engineer. Spike was shivering on Flare's back, because he was afraid.
"Don't be scared, buddy. Just stay on my back. Bros for life right?" Flare asked with his hoof near Spike.
"Bros for life." Spike said, giving him a brohoof. The Noble Six walked inside the mountain. Flare was firing flares from his horn to light up the dark cave. The Noble Six all looked around, staying on the alert.
"Stay alert, guys. We don't know about this place. This was used by the god of Chaos, Discord. So there could be some traps." said Psyche.
"Traps? Oh that makes me feel alot better." said Aqua.
A half-hour went by, and they just kept walking. They even climbed, swam through cave waters, and even avoided bats. "How long have we been walking for?" asked Spike.
"Half-hour." said Aqua.
"I am so bored!" Spike complained.
"Well at least you're not scared anymore." said Engineer. They walked inside a corridor that had lit torches on the wall.
"This room is lit. Which means we must be getting close." said Aqua.
"What did you think it meant, doy!" teased Crystal. They walked through the corridor, then they activated a trap. Darts fired out of the walls, and launched towards the Noble Six.
"DUCK!" cried Engineer.
They all ducked. Nopony was hit, except for Aqua. A trap door opened and he fell down. But nopony noticed he was gone at first.
"Those weren't ducks, those were darts." said Flare.
"Ah know, it was a figure of speech." said Engineer. They all got up.
"Hey where did Aqua go?" asked Blaze.
"I dunno, he was right here." said Crystal.
"You think he was hit by a dart?" asked Psyche.
"I'M GETTING THE HAY OUTTA HERE!" a voice that sounded like Aqua cried out from the distance.
"DON'T GO, Aqua! Come back!" cried Crystal. She flew towards the exit, but the cave collapsed, blocking the exit. A bunch of ash covered the room, everypony started choking. The ash cleared, and Crystal was missing.
"Crystal? Crystal where did you go?" asked Psyche.
"OH NO!" cried Engineer. "She wasn't hit by the rocks... was she?" Tears started falling from his eyes. But then a voice that sounded like Crystal was on the other side.
"Forget this! Forget you guys!" said Crystal from the other side. "I'm just gonna abandon you here now. Leave you for dead. So good-bye."
"CRYSTAL?! Crystal what are you talking about?" asked Blaze.
"That makes both of us. Later, losers!" said Aqua, from the other side.
"GAH! I can't believe this!" cried Psyche. "They've abandoned us! They've betrayed us!"
"I-I don't believe this." Flare said sadly. "But who cares? Who needs them? The five of us are not gonna give up, right?"
"Right." they all said, all giving bro-hoofs.
"Let's get moving then, shall we?" said Spike. They walked through the cave and entered a room that had many Discord statues around them.
"Talking about trippy." said Spike.
"Yeah this room sure could use some cleanin." said Engineer.
"Where's the Mane Six? We've been looking around for 45 minutes already!" said Psyche.
"This mountain is big. They could be anywhere, dude." said Blaze.
"You got point there, Blaze." said Psyche. Psyche stepped on a trap. Then all the Discord statues activated, and fired a laser that traps them where they're standing.
"And you say I'm the dumb one." Flare said to Psyche.
"I never said you were dumb." said Psyche.
"Well this is just fine and dandy. What now?" asked Engineer.
Psyche looked around the room, and saw an opening on the high ceiling. "I see an opening over there. Maybe I could find the controls for these lasers." he said.
"How would you know if there is gonna be any controls?" asked Spike.
"Trust me. These lasers are made out of some sort of technology. Which means there should be a control switch, or panel somewhere." said Psyche. "I'll be right back." Psyche flies up into the opening, and crawls through.
"I hope he doesn't abandon us either." said Blaze.
"What are the odds of that happin twice?" asked Engineer.
"Trust me, Psyche's our buddy! He's very loyal. He won't leave us, I'm sure of it!" said Flare.
Psyche crawls through the tight space, following the wire that connects to the statues. He sneezes. "It's so dusty in here! Like an air vent. AAAH! Spider web!" Then a noise howels through the tight space. "Uhh, who's there? Hello?" There was no answer. Psyche kept crawling, following the wire. A dark shadow flashed behind him. Psyche was startled by it, so he turned around, but there was nothing there. He turned back, and saw the flash lunge at him. Psyche's eye pupils shrunk.
Back at the room where Blaze, Engineer, Flare, and Spike were, they kept waiting for Psyche to shut off the lasers. "What's taking him so long?" asked Spike.
"Probably met into trouble. Don't worry, he won't abandon us. We're the Noble Six for crying out loud! We never abandon! Mischievious face." said Flare.
"Yeah, try saying that to Crystal and Aqua." said Blaze.
"FORGET IT GUYS! YOU GUYS AIN'T WORTH IT! I'M OUTTA HERE!" Psyche said from the opening.
"You were saying, Flare?" asked Blaze.
"Angry face!" said Flare. "I don't believe this! Psyche was a trusted friend of ours! NOW HE'S BETRAYING US?! I don't believe this. Well, if you want to do something right, you have to do it yourself." Flare used his rail-blast spell on all the Discord statues, and they all broke. All the lasers deactivated.
"Nice one, partner." said Engineer.
"Why didn't you do that before?" asked Spike.
"And waste my magic on perfectly crafted statues? As if. We had no other choice." said Flare. "So Crystal, Aqua, and Psyche are backstabbing traitors. Which makes just the four of us left."
"Yeah this is starting to get unreal." said Blaze.
"Like Unreal Tournament?" asked Flare.
"Well... something like that. But I know Aqua, Crystal, and Psyche would never do such a thing." said Blaze.
"Well did ya'll just hear what they said?" asked Engineer.
"It could be fake." said Spike.
"Yeah, I agree with Spike, I think they've been captured actually." said Flare.
"Well, only one way to find out." said Engineer. "Let's keep movin."
They walked out of the room, and went through a cave, with a cliffside. At the bottom of the cliff was full of water, and there was even a water fall. "Ah, don't ya'll love the sound of water falls?" asked Engineer.
"Don't go chasing them. LOL!" teased Flare. They all walked along the cliff edge to the other side. They were afraid they would fall.
"Just don't look down." said Blaze.
"What are you worried about? Ya'll a pegasus." said Engineer. Flare stepped on the cliff edge, and rocks were falling.
"Careful, buddy!" said Blaze.
"Yeah thanks for the warning, brah." Flare said sarcasticly.
"You know, I'm just trying to help out." said Blaze.
"Well you can help out by not being so obvious." said Flare. While Blaze and Flare were talking to eachother, the wall opened, and Engineer fell, leaving his wrench behind.
"How you holding up, Engie?" Blaze asked. There was no answer. Blaze looked back. "Uh, Engie? Where did you go?"
"What happened? Where's Engie?" asked Flare.
"He abandoned us too!" Spike yelled in tears. "I can't trust any of you anymore!" Spike was crying on Flare's head.
"I dunno guys. It's not like him to leave his wrench behind." said Blaze. Spike stopped crying.
"Really?" asked Spike.
"Yeah, Engineer always keeps his wrench with him. I think somepony's playing with our heads." Flare said while picking up Engineer's wrench, and putting it in his vest pocket.
"Yeah I think so too." said Spike.
"Alright, from now on, we're sticking together. Nopony, or no dragon, is getting seperated from the group. We're all sticking together like glue." said Blaze.
"Or as AppleJack says, carmal on a candy apple." said Spike.
"I'm staying by your side, guys. You're like family to me, and I'll do all I can to keep you both safe." Blaze said, putting his hoof around Flare.
"Thanks, Blaze!" said Flare. "Now don't let go of me, and Spike you stay on my back. Let's go." said Flare. They all walked out of the water fall cave, and went into a cave with checker board floors.
"Wait, guys. I sense a trap." said Blaze.
"Yeah I think I see it too. If we step on one of those tiles, a trap activates." said Flare.
"Don't worry, I can just fly us over..." said Blaze, but got interupted by spears that popped out from the ceiling. "I guess we have no choice, but to walk."
"BLAZE! Your hoof isn't around me! Come back!" said Flare.
"Oh sorry, Flare!" said Blaze. He flew back to Flare and put his hoof around him. They all walked through the tiles, not triggering any traps.
"You hanging in there, Spike?" asked Flare.
"Yeah, I'm fine." said Spike.
"Blaze, you still with me right?" asked Flare.
"I am right here, Flare. And I'll never let go. Wherever I go, you go with me." said Blaze. "I'm not leaving you two alone."
"Blaze... that means alot, really." said Flare. Flare starts to tear up. "Nopony in Mareami ever cared about me this much. Happy crying face."
"You're one of the only ponies that excepts me for who I am. I know I'm part dragon, and you didn't even run away." said Blaze.
"Of course not! Bros for life, right?" asked Flare.
Blaze starts to tear up. "Bros for life." said Blaze. A fly buzzed by, and it landed on a tile, then the room started to get all smoky.
"Surprise face!" cried Flare. "NO BLAZE! YOU'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE! You still there, buddy?"
"I'm still here!" said Spike.
"Not you! Blaze!" said Flare. There was no answer.
"Blaze?" said Flare. But there was no answer. "BLAZE?!" The smoke cleared, and Blaze was gone. "HOLY WIZARD OF FEELINGS! NOOOOO!"
"Okay, now I'm really scared." Spike said, holding Flare's neck.
"Hey, hey! You're starting to choke me!" said Flare.
"Oh, sorry." said Spike.
"Alright, where was I?" Flare asked himself. "Oh right. NOOOO, BLAZE!"
"He didn't abandon us too, did he?" asked Spike.
"NO! Blaze is a loyal friend! Out of all of them, Blaze would never abandon whoever's loyal to him! Nopony!" said Flare. "Him and the others were obviously captrued.
"Flare, I just wanted to let you know... that I... I accidently wrote over your 100% completion saved game in G-T-A 4." said Spike.
"It's okay, dude." said Flare. "Wait, WHAT?! I worked forever on that! Angry face!"
"Look, I'm sorry. I'll make it up to you!" said Spike.
"Sigh. Don't worry, brah. I don't have time to blame you for anything. Our friends are in trouble, and it's up to us to save them now." said Flare.
"Then onward!" cried Spike, kicking his hind. "CHARGE!"
"Dude, I'm a pony, not a horse." said Flare.
"What's the difference?" asked Spike.
"Good point." said Flare. "FOR THE WIZARDS OF HOPE, STRENGTH, AND FEELINGS, AND FOR GREAT EQUESTRIA!" he cried, and charged through the caves. He ran through the caves for 10 minutes, non-stop, avoiding all the traps he could find along the way. After a while, he walked into a cave full of gems.
"NO WAY!" cried Spike. "It's... so beautiful! So delicious! So... I have to try one!" Spike reaches for a gem on a cave spike, but then Flare slapped his hand out of the way. "OW! Slappy much?"
"NO! We're not touching anything." Flare ordered.
"Who made you the boss of me?" asked Spike.
"I'm not being the boss, I'm just telling you, you shouldn't touch anything. It can trigger a trap. Now we're just gonna walk through this room, and we're not gonna touch anything, capieesh?" Flare asked. Spike nodded. "Alright, let's go." Flare walked through the cave. Spike tried his hardest not to touch anything. But the gems started talking to him.
"Spike... Spike... eat us Spike. We're shiny, and delicious." said a gem.
"Our main purpose is to be eaten by you, Spike." said another gem.
"Leave this pony behind, and just dig in." said another gem.
"He's obviously holding you back. Just eat us. It's what you want!" said another gem.
"Spike, you still with me?" asked Flare. "Spike?" Spike shook his head real fast.
"Yeah, don't worry, Flare. I'm touching anything." said Spike.
"Just keep holding it in. We're almost out!" said Flare.
"Eat us. Eat us. Eat us. Eat us." all the gems kept saying.
"Well, it wouldn't hurt just to have one." said Spike. He grabbed a gem from the ceiling, but then the gem pulled him up into the ceiling, and a new gem took it's place. Flare just stepped out of the gem cave.
"Alright, Spike. You did great, kid! You did very great!" said Flare. There was no answer. "What, you not gonna tell me what I said didn't make sense? Because 'very great' isn't correct grammar?" He looked behind him and he wasn't there. "Surprise face!" he cried. "Spike?! Spike?! Where are you?!" Flare ran back to the gem room, and looked everywhere. He pulled out all the gems, looking under them, under rocks, even the smaller ones, and he couldn't find him. Flare started to get scared. "I'm all alone. They all abandoned me. Left me for dead. They're not my friends." Flare started to tear up. Then he smacked himself in the face. "Stay with us, Flare! You're talking nonsense! But, Flare they abandoned me! No, don't talk like that, they were captured and we... or I must find them!" Flare just kept arguing with himself. "But it's so obvious they think you annoying. That is not true! Yes it is! No it isn't! Yes it isn't! No it isn't, infinity! LOLOLOL! Got you! Oh real mature, brah. Hey, how about we stop arguing and we look for the others? Either way goes. We either find them, or we get captrued. If we-or I get captured then I might catch up with them! Happy face! I am such a genius! Okay, but first we need to trigger a trap." Flare started touching everything, and stomping on the ground. He ran through the cave corridors, touching all the walls, and stepping everywhere, but there were no traps. "C'mon, there's gotta be a trap around here somewhere!" he said. "WHY CAN'T YOU CAPTURE ME TOO?!" he yelled. Then Flare heard a scream from the distance that sounded like Fluttershy. "That sounded like... Fluttershy!" he said. "Hang on, Flutters! Imma coming, sister!" Flare started running through the cave corridors. He saw a light on the other side. "They're in there! I'm gonna see them! Happy face!" Flare charged through the door, and entered the room. "Don't worry guys! I'm here to save you! Wait... huh?" The Mane Six were in a room that looked like a lounge, full of video games, food, drinks, bean bag chairs, a make-up table, and books. AppleJack, Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, and Rarity were all in the room having a good time.
"HA! Check mate! I win!" cried Fluttershy. Then she screamed real loud after she won a game of chess with AppleJack.
"Nice job, sugarcube!" said AppleJack.
"This book is amazing!" said Twilight. "I'm so glad I'm here!"
"Me too, me too!" cried Pinkie, jumping around the room.
"It is so fabulous here, is it not?" asked Rarity.
Rainbow Dash was strapped onto the ceiling with a fan in her face. "This is so awesome!" cried Rainbow Dash.
"Well... it looks like I was wrong. I thought you guys were captured, but it seems you girls are having a great time!" said Flare. The Mane Six all stopped what they were doing and stared at Flare, with confusion. "Affermative! It is I, Flare Gun! I thought you girls were in trouble. The Princesses thought that. But false alarm then."
"What are you doing here?" asked Rainbow Dash.
"What am I doing here? What do you mean? I came to rescue you." said Flare. "Me and the Noble Six, and Spke. Except they all either left me, or they were captured. You know where they are?"
"Why would we tell you?" asked Fluttershy, rudely.
"Yeah we don't need your help. We're perfectly fine." said Rarity.
"Kay kay. I see that. But I still have no idea where the Noble Six is." said Flare.
"They probably left you, big surprise." Pinkie said sarcasticly.
"How about doing yourself a favor, and just leave?" asked Twilight.
"What? Leave? But I just got here. You need your privacy?" asked Flare.
"No, we just don't want you here." said Rainbow Dash.
"I... don't understand. You don't want me here?" asked Flare.
AppleJack sighed. "Oh sweet Celestia, do we have to telll you twice?!" asked AppleJack in an annoyed tone.
"Seriously, what did I do wrong? Like seriously actually!" asked Flare.
"Oh it's so annoyin ya do that!" said AppleJack.
"Do what?" asked Flare.
"Talk like that!" said AppleJack.
"And what did you do wrong? It's not you, it's what your parents did wrong. MADE YOU!" said Rarity.
"Well that was rude." said Flare.
"It doesn't matter what ponies say to you. You're destined to be alone." said Twilight.
"Kay, congratulations, this is the most awkward conversation I ever had. And the most confusing." said Flare.
"You never should've left Mareami in the first place." said Pinkie.
"Yeah, nopony really cares about you." said Fluttershy.
"Alright, stop. Enough joking around!" said Flare. "This is starting to get offense! I thought we were friends?"
Pinkie hops to Flare. "Friends with you? HA! That's not even funny." said Pinkie. "You never were funny. We were never really friends with you! We just did that, because we felt sorry for you."
"Well... at least you felt sorry for me." said Flare.
"Not anymore." said Rainbow Dash. "We found out that you're a type of pony that remainds a loser. Your spells are stupid. Especially the SHOOP DA WHOOP. What kind of spell is that? You're obviously a mary-sue."
"I AM NOT A MARY-SUE!" cried Flare.
"Yes you are. Nopony should be that powerful." said Rarity.
"I'm not even that powerful!" said Flare.
"Just keep your spells to yerself, loser." said AppleJack.
"Oh, and not to mention your pizza. Worst stuff ever! Bleh!" said Twilight.
"Worst? You less then three my pizza! Everypony did!" said Flare.
"Nopony really liked your pizza. It was in the drinks actually. After they took their first bite, they just drunk down the taste. They ate your shop, so you wouldn't be upset. The Princesses too. You're a terrible cook!" said Twilight.
"And your fish... why do ya'll care about fish? It's so lame!" said AppleJack. "They're just fish!"
"They're not just fish! They're my family!" cried Flare.
"Pathetic." said Fluttershy.
"Face it, Flare Gun. You have no friends. Never had, never will." said Pinkie. "And stop saying 'less then three', and 'brah'. I mean, you're calling everypony a mare's clothing! It's stupid!"
"Pinkie that's not like you." said Flare.
"It is Flare." said Twilight. "You've shamed us all. And don't worry about your Noble Six. I'm sure it's died out by now."
"Alright, shut up. You're lying!" said Flare.
"Don't believe me? Here's proof." said Twilight. She turns on the TV, and it shows the Noble Six running out.
"Phew! Good thing we left Flare in there to die." said Psyche.
"Yeah, it wasn't easy. I can't believe we had to stick to that pony for these past months, and these past adventures!" said Aqua.
"He would totally be a failure if he joined mah matches and such." said Engineer.
"Yeah, he wasn't much help either. And the Noble Six? Lamest name ever! And all of Flare's jokes are actually stolen! So he's not really funny. Being orginal is funny, he's not being orginal." said Crystal.
"Wow, and I can't believe I said all that stuff about him about thinking he's family! The closest of family he'd ever be with me, is his big stupid plot!" said Blaze.
"Well, at least he likes my plot." said Flare.
"Oh, I take that back. I hate that plot. I prefer even hobo's plot, from Trottingham!" said Blaze.
"Yeah, well. Let's talk more about this when we get home. Goodbye forever, Flare Gun." said Psyche. They all ran away. Twilight turned off the TV.
"See? Nopony cares about you." said Twilight.
Flare started punching his head. "I'M DREAMING! THIS IS A NIGHTMARE! IT'S NOT REAL!" he cried.
"Stop fooling around, Flare. You should disappear off the face of the Earth. If you want to make it up to us." said Twilight. The Mane Six all glared at Flare, then walked out of the room.
"Flutters..." said Flare. Fluttershy wacked his face with her tail and walked out.
"Crying face." said Flare, he started to tear up. "If the Mane Six say it... and if the Noble Six abandoned me... it must be true." The song 'How could this happen to me', by Simple Plan plays in the background, as tears fall out of Flare's eyes. Afterwords, he turned off his Ipod, the song stopped playing, and he started sob. He sobbed very loud, and he even made a puddle where he's laying down. A dark shadow appeared behind him.
"There there, Flare Gun. No need to suffer anymore." said a voice.
"Just go away. Leave me alone! Crying face. Boo hoo! Sob. Weep." Flare said as he continued to cry.
"But you and I have a future." said the voice. "We shall avenge the stress and suffering they put you through. You moved to Ponyville to get away from it all, and it followed you. And they say they're suppose to support friendship. It's time to teach the Mane Six a lesson."
Flare sniffed, and turned towards the shadow. "W-who are you?" he asked.
The shadow revealed himself. "I am Discord, God of Chaos." he said.
"LOL! Discord, Dat Cord." Flare said pointing to a cord. Oh... and I heard about you. I'm a fan of your work. God of Chaos? More like God of Humor! LOL!" teased Flare, but still crying a little.
"Indeed." said Discord.
"Why are you all blurry, and... how come my hoof can go right through you?" Flare asked, putting his hoof through him.
"Well... I'm actually a hologram." said Discord. "You see that statue over there?" Discord points to a statue of him. "That's actually me. Somepony already tried to break me free, but failed. All they could do is put a little hologram device on me, and now only my spirit broke free."
"So, you're like a ghost right?" asked Flare.
"Yeah, sort of." said Discord. "My powers can only work if my body was free. The Doctor said that you might be the one to help me!"
"How?" asked Flare.
"You must release your anger. Your true powers will be awoken once you released it." said Discord. "Once you become powerful, you can use your SHOOP DA WHOOP spell to break me free! But not now. The Doctor says you need time."
"Who the hay is the Doctor?" asked Flare.
"That information is classifed at this time. Please leave a message after the beep. BEEEEEP!" said Discord.
"LOL! I said that joke a couple of times. Ex dee!" said Flare.
"Join me, Flare Gun. And together we can rule Equestria, as my apprentice!" said Discord.
"Thanks for your offer Discord... and Dat Cord. ROFLMAO!" teased Flare.
Discord laughs. "I like your sense of humor! Sense of humor is what I really like as an evil apprentice." said Discord.
"Well, I appreiate your offer. But I can't. I mean, even though nopony cares about me anymore, that doesn't mean I have to go against them." said Flare. "I apologize Discord, and Dat Cord. LOL! Kay it's getting old. But I must do what's right."
"I see." said Discord. "Well, if that's how you wanna be. Then I respect your decison."
"Thanks, brah!" said Flare.
"GUARDS!" cried Discord. A couple of Royal Guards busted into the room, and held Flare down.
"The missing Royal Guards?" asked Flare.
"Yes, as you can see, I brainwashed them to work for me. Since you can't join me yourself. Then we shall force you!" said Discord. The Doctor made this little device that can turn a pony into my control!"
"Ew, why do these royal guards have scars on their eyes?" asked Flare.
"I'll show you. Let's get this party started!" said Discord. A royal guard takes a stamp, with an 'S' on it, and stamps it on Flare's eye.
"OUCH! That really hurt!" said Flare.
"Release him." said Discord. The royal guards release Flare. And one of them gives him a mirror. Flare looks in the mirror, and sees a scar on his eye, that looks like an 'S'.
"So in order to brainwash me, you have to put a scar on my eye?" asked Flare. "I may look evil now, but I don't feel evil."
"Oh, it'll kick in." said Discord.
Flare kicks a Royal Guard in the shin. "A kick like that? LOLOLOL!" teased Flare. "Wait... I'm starting to feel something. I guess this is the part I fall on the ground, hold my face, and scream, right?"
"Actually it is." said Discord.
"Good, just wondering." said Flare. "Kay, I'll do it, in 3... 2... WAIT! I need to go the bathroom."
"Can't you go the bathroom until after your transformation?" asked Discord.
"Sigh. Fine." said Flare. Then he falls on the ground, holds his face, and starts screaming. "AAAAAH! Crying face! This really hurts! What's happing to me?! I'm starting to feel... angry face!"
"Yes, your anger is growing! Your fear, your hate! It's time for you to be my loyal apprentice. And you will torture the Mane Six, so the Elements of Harmony will be no more! Then you'll be powerful enough to free me from my prison! And together, we will rule Equestria!" said Discord. Then he laughed evily. Flare's eyes were closed. He stopped screaming, and he let go of his face. Then he opened his eyes, and his eyes turned yellow and red. Then he made an evil glare, and breathed heavily.
TO BE CONTINUED...
