Chapter 11: RainBooms VS. Demon Gloriosa
NEAR A DIFFERENT CABIN?
We spot the cabin where some members of Strike Force stayed along with 3 Autobots. Shorty was working on another science work on his lab-top, Saber Dragoon was cooking their next meal, & Laxtinct relax on a hamick. Breakaway was carefully chopping a large tree to make firewood, Prowl was in a meditation cross leg stance, while Smokescreen was on lookout duty to see how Camp Everfree was doing. But during Smokescreen watching the campers prepare a fashion show, he notice from a distance, something vastly approaching the camp that was…making trees & other plantations grow…
"Hey guys, your not gonna believe this, but…do trees grow un-expectively fast around here then anywhere else on this planet?" Smokescreen asked a sudden & bizarre question out of the blue.
"Hardly, even a tiny oak seed takes years to grow into a mighty oak tree." Prowl stated in knowing the very nature of this world, is not as fast developing as machines can go.
"Then explain the weird glowing greenry over yonder?" Smokescreen pointed off for someone to explain 'that' to him.
Ahead of them, everyone stopped what they were doing, climb on top of the Autobots shoulders to get a bird's eye view. And they saw strange abnormal glowing planation that was moving through the cover of trees towards a path towards Camp Everfree.
"What the? This doesn't make any sense? I learn about plantation in school & back again, & they never mentioned this?" Laxtinct was weird out in what he saw that made little sense.
"That's because it isn't natural, this is either a mutation through science…" Shorty was stating in what were the causes for such weird abnormal growth in planation…
"Or perhaps, magic, is involved?" Breakaway cuts in to state that what they see isn't science or technology, but magic instead.
"And it's heading for Camp Everfree. We must get there quickly." Saber Dragoon stated in where the source was heading for.
Seeing the time of stealth was pass, the Autobots ran off to approach the campsite, unaware of what new threat awaited ahead…

BACK AT CAMP EVERFREE
We see that the fashion show on the new dock was about to have it's run-through as DJ Pon-3 was looking through some records. Rarity was busy getting herself, the RainBooms, & other girls like Lyra Heartstrings & Bon-Bon in fashionable outfits. Rarity was working things out as everyone was chattering up in being all excited for this.
"Where are Twilight & Sunset?" Rarity asked in having noticed that some of their friends are missing still. "Hugh, they're missing our dress rehearsal. Even Nyx is missing to join with the other CMC?" She rest her hand on her forehead in knowing her friends are missing out a bit here.
"Uh-uh." Pinkie Pie shrug off in not knowing which the other girls here were also in agreement.
"Huh, can't be helped. I suppose we can get started without them." Rarity lightly shrug off in deciding that perhaps they can begin things without everyone being present. "Whenever you're ready!" Rarity smiled to yell out with a smile in giving someone above the signal.
At this time, DJ Pon-3 pulled up a record song from the music box tray, pulled it out of the container & onto the record player. That's when it was playing techno pop music as Pinkie Pie was excited, everyone else was smiling & ready to go, but Fluttershy seem worried until Rarity came in back to give her friend a light push to go along which she did. Everyone was following along, then Rarity noticed AJ was fixing her apple style belt buckle.
"Hmm. Told you you'd like it." Rarity made a sly smirk to boast in catching AJ by surprise that the cow girl ended up liking her outfit in the end for the fashion show.
"It's alright... I guess." Applejack slightly shrug off to say this, but seem hesitant in hating to admit something which the proud Rarity could tell by the girl's expression. "I do get to keep it after camp though, right?" She tap her fingers in liking to keep this outfit once they are done with the camp.
Rarity nodded her head in saying 'of' course while letting her friend walk on down the runaway on the dock. Rarity was the last to follow up in the rear of this fine Camp Everfree Fashion Show to celebrate their made gift for the camp; a new dock.
"I'm surprise you didn't sign up for this sis?" Goldie stated that he thought Pinkamena would join the fashion run-way show.
"Well, this was shot notice, so I gave my spot for Rarity to enjoy this; she really worked hard." Pinkamena shrug off to simply say as much in what she thought be nicer to let Rarity enjoy her time with her choice activity.
But just outside of the camp, Gloriosa was seen floating across as the vines of brambles moved as if almost making…a growling sound.
But near a water pump, Snips & Snail were filling water in their balloons: probably for a prank of some kind. But then they stopped to notice something to line up, Snips making a sheepish smile while Snails watch puzzled before making a sheepish face; as they saw a glowing lady floated by. When the one they recognized as Gloriosa Daisy pass by, they began to have puzzling thoughts about now.
"She looks...different somehow." Snails pondered to rub the chin in thinking Gloriosa Daisy seems different somehow.
"Yeah. She looks a little...taller." Snips replied off in stating that somehow, Gloriosa must have gotten taller then last time.
Back at the run-through of the fashion show, the techno pop music continued as the girls were doing their walks on the new dock. Everyone was showing off their new outfits, even Pinkie Pie happily was enjoying this.
"This is only a preview. Ha-ahh…" Rarity boasted off to the crowd coming around to proudly announce what is in store for many. "I've got another entire line I'll debut at the real thing." She clasps her hands in just happily picturing when she'll show her next best stuff when they do the real event since this was just a preview of things as an opener.
Suddenly without warning, a record scratching sound was heard which stopped the music at this sudden moment that puzzled a few faces
"Why did you stop the..?" Rarity turn to ask why the music stop until seeing everyone's shock faces, then…she saw where they were looking at. "GUUUAH! Oh, my goodness!" Rarity gasped to clutch her chest in what she saw in shock as AJ narrow her eyes in looking serious in what was here.
And that was….a floating woman glowing emerald aura, yes, it was….the new look of a demonic Gloriosa.
"Attention, campers!" The demonic Gloriosa spoke forth in having everyone's attention.
"It's Gaea Everfree!" Trixie pointed off in shock of who was here as Vahelldan held a gasping WaterMelody near him in what they saw was….the legend of Gaea Everfree in person.
"Sh-She's real!" Flash yelped in wide-eyes in seeing this creature from that scary story, is live & in person.
"Aah! We're doomed!" Bulk Bicep screamed out behind Flash in stating that with Gaea Everfree upon them, she's here to do who knows what to them.
"She's real?" Goldie asked in not believing the legend…was TRUE!
"Wait, doesn't she look like…?" Pinkamena raised an eyebrow in finding this character, familiar…
"Gloriosa?!" Then Timber Spruce came between Flash & Bulk Bicep in looking quite…shock & terrified in what he's seeing here & recognized as his sister. "What are you doing?!" He asked in what his sister was doing appearing all of a sudden.
"Yeah, Glorisoa Daisy, I thought I recognize her." Pinkamena finished off to say this from recognizing who that was.
"Wait a sec., dat's Gloriosa?" Applejack replied off puzzled as Rainbow Dash came near Rarity & Fluttershy hid behind AJ a bit scared in who was here & who it was. "Am I goin' crazy, or are her feet not touchin' the ground?" She asked to point off something that had the RainBooms notice that…Gloriosa's feet aren't touching the ground which strikes as…odd.
"Freaky-deaky!" Then Pinkie Pie shows up above the others to scratch her head on how someone defines that principle; while no one bothered to ponder how SHE was not touching the ground like the rest?
"I have an announcement to make!" Gloriosa spoke forth in sounding a bit more louder & forceful compared to what everyone has come to know. "Filthy Rich wants this to be the last session of Camp Everfree. But don't worry, I've got this!" She explained what was the case of someone wanting to take away Camp Everfree, but with a release of her magic, that will change.
She grips her hands into the ground, causing a change of reaction of magical bolts to quake through the ground & through the trees. Causing vines to appear over yonder to grow up high & tall. Many of the students yelp & scream as they tried to flea, but saw they couldn't. A wall of vines were growing up around the woods around the camp, before making a circle around the lake. The RainBooms screamed as they jump off the dock when tall brambles grew up from the lake, & slightly damaged the new dock in the process.
"Yikes!/Oh No!/The DOCK!" Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom, & Scootaloo yelp out loud in what happened.
"YEAH! I mean, Noooo!" Bulk Bicep yelled off a cheer at 1st, then realized the bad news to panic; the dock got wasted.
"Oh, come on!" Rainbow Dash got up to look at this to complain in what happened as everyone saw it. "We literally just finished building that!" She lay on the ground to complain that after all that hard work making a new dock, it gets total without warning.
"Guys, I think we got bigger problems ahead?" Goldie pointed off that they got bigger things to have concerns for.
"Not only that, I think we're about to break into a villain song?" Pinkamena randomly pointed out to break a 4th wall to mention; much to anyone's confusion.
Then without warning, the song 'We Will Stand For Everfree' was about to play off as Demon Gloriosa was continuing to spread her magic all around.
Demon Gloriosa: I have waited for the day
To send this greedy wolf away
Now the magic is my salvation
Gather close in my protection
We... will... stand for Everfree!
As Demon Gloriosa sang, her magic vines grew around her wicked sensation. The campers seem terrified, the RainBooms seem on edge in what was occurring. As she sang forth to express herself, her geodes let off more wild magic that caused more brambles to grow taller to keep all things out & in. This made the students feel like they are about to become trap inside the very camp.
Demon Gloriosa: Behold the beauty of nature in all its glory
No need to fear the vultures at the door
Right here you have me to protect you
Within these walls of thorns
Forever free, forevermore!
As Demon Gloriosa sang, her vines grew over a totem pole, as she approach an Eco-Kid girl as the woman tried to calm those here, but the girl fled away in terror. Some of the students were running towards the cabin with Principle Celestia & Vice-Principle Luna helping them to get inside for protection. Demon Gloriosa held her glowing hand, as Celestia was gonna protect her students, vines grew to trap them in the cabin. Timber saw what his sister was going, saw an axe, & with determination, ran off to pick it up.
Demon Gloriosa: They have come into our domain
Here to seal our camp in chains
But we have held it for generations
This is just a complication
We... will... stand for Everfree!
Timber was trying to chop the vines, but some new ones were trying to grow. The guy was trying to continue, but the vines soon grip the axe to Timber's surprise, & noticed a hand held the axe to cease the action was by…his sister. Now Demon Gloriosa smiled to raise the vines upwards to keep Timber's axe & hand upwards that made it hard for him to escape while slowly rising upwards. Then with another magical shock burst by Demon Gloriosa, caused more brambles to grow over the vine wall.
Demon Gloriosa: Trust in me, this is for your own good
Don't be afraid, nature is our friend
All of this beauty that surrounds us
Every lovely bloom designed to defend
As Demon Gloriosa sang to appeal to those afraid, she made vines grow around the gazebo. Sandalwood, Trixie, & Bulk Biceps were cornered inside the gazebo when the plants grew around them. Soon a red flower grew to appear as Demon Gloriosa gently pet it before having it expand, & the vines completely trap those in the gazebo.
Demon Gloriosa: Let them come, just let them try!
I'm not about to say goodbye!
This camp will be here throughout the ages
Written into the history pages
We... will... stand for Everfree!
Now Demon Gloriosa was becoming bold in awaiting those to get in her way, as she climbs up vines on the sundial. As she slowly turns around, Demon Gloriosa sang as she hovers & unleashes another powerful burst of magic. This caused more brambles to grow from the ground, soon covering the entire camp in a wooden vine dome. Soon the song was reaching it's conclusion, with the new magical power crazy opponent now in charge…
"Bangvhmm…/CHOPvhmm…" At this moment, blast shots & cutting blades made their marks on the forest dome, severing the bramble wall surface: but it magically glowed in which it seems to have healed it's self. The ones that attacked were the Autobots while the Strike Force members stood on the bot's shoulders, witnessing what was before them.
"Dang it! We're too late! The danger's inside. And what's with this thing that we can't break through?" Breakaway cursed to say while pondering what was keeping them out.
"Chopvhm…" Prowl used his ninja cutters to chop the bramble, but saw it magically regrow in mere seconds. "It appears any attacks we use to force through, will allow the brambles to regrow to take it's place?" He theorized what this force was, it had the power to regenerate after every attack.
"So we take down 10 & 10 to 100 more take it's place? Then how can we get in with blasting or chopping is no good?" Smokescreen asked in how they get in if this thing keeps having a limitless brambles to regenerate it's self with.
"Wait, if it regrows, & if it's a plant, what if we burn it? That could stop the regeneration ability, right?" Laxtinct pondered to guess what they might use to help, however…
"Are you crazy! That would endanger the campers!" Shorty snapped off that such an idea would suffocate everyone inside this forest dome from the smoke.
"Sorry?" Laxtinct sheepishly apologized for his account.
"We'll just have to keep trying to find a way in." Saber Dragoon stated to say as they will have to find another way to breach through.
Soon everyone split up to attack from different sides, hoping for results that in doing so, diverts the forest dome's full attention on different areas; it's all they got to go with for now…

BACK INSIDE CAMP EVERFREE?
The scene opens back of what is Camp Everfree, where it is now in case in a forest dome, where it seems penetration, & escape, is impossible. And Demon Gloriosa seems to feel please in being triumphant. Never noticing that Fluttershy watch her from afar while hiding out with the other RainBooms along with Goldie & Pinkamena.
"Why do these kinds of things always happen to us?" Fluttershy came down to sit & sulk with the others to ask, why such things seem to always happen to them.
"You know Fluttershy, that's one of life's very mysterious?" Pinkamena commented in what to think about such a situation.
Much of the gang signed in feeling like that comment of Fluttershy's held truth, they always seem to get stuck in the middle of magical events.
"Sis, I don't think that was very helpful?" Goldie pointed out in noticing everyone becoming depressed.
"Oh my? What are we going to do?" Rarity asked off in what they should do now.
"What we always do! Save the day!" Rainbow Dash stood up to speak out the voice of encouragement to hold her hand out, as Pinkie Pie smiled to nod nearby.
Fluttershy, Rarity & AJ looked to another, before they join Rainbow & Pinkie Pie's hand together in all making sounds of agreement.
"Oh, boy, oh, boy, oh, boy! This is gonna be so much fun!" Pinkie Pie was feeling so extra cheery right now she couldn't contain it. "OH! I only wish we had time to make superhero capes!" She held Rainbow Dash in exclaiming what they need now, is heroic capes for their super heroic action to take place.
"Oh, me, too!" Rarity smiled to say that she love the idea of wearing a cape, a super hero or super heroine looks great in capes.
"Hugh…Enough about our wardrobe!" Rainbow Dash signed to annoyingly tell the two to forget about the cape thing to make them look like heroes. "We've got to stop Gloriosa from trapping everybody in here!" She pound her fist in determination as everyone showed the eager smile & nodding of agreement on that plan.
"Well we better act fast, cause it looks like she's not stopping." Goldie pointed off in seeing how much more wild plant life is growing.
"Alright, lets do what we can, those with & without magic." Pinkamena issued forth in deciding to help out however they can.
"Right! We need to get through this now!" Rainbow Dash proclaimed in seeing they must stand up against this.
"Perhaps I can be of assistance." Spoke a strange male voice that was heard echoing.
"Wait! Who said that?" Goldie asked in not recognizing that weird voice.
Suddenly, a loud noise was heard from the outside as a glowing redness was seen on the bramble wall; before bursting out to burn to ash. That created a large hole, which something flew in just before the magic began to slowly heal the tiny flames to repair the wall. Then the large creature landed on the ground to stand tall appearing like some…dragon?
"Augh, is…that a…Dragon?" Rarity gasped in shock in seeing something that she thought existed in fairy tales…& in Equestria like Spike & Phobos.
"If it has wings, scales, & breaths fire, it must be?" Applejack honestly stated in knowing the truth of the matter.
"Hmm…what's wrong, do you not need help?" The mysterious dragon asked in seeing how befuddled by his figure then of his will to aid.
"Uh, uh, no, that's not it? Um, but thank you for offering, um…mister…?" Fluttershy meekly spoke with worry that it's hard to know if this giant beast is friendly when looking almost scary.
"Wow Azure! You sure have grown since I last saw you!?" Pinkamena smiled off to cut in & then hug the creature's leg.
"Azure?!" The gang responded in shock, that was the name of…Pinkamena's pet komodo dragon?
"Wow, how'd you get so big? Must be them vitamins, eh?" Pinkie Pie asked off excited in what made the guy grow THIS big.
"Heck if I know, one moment I was chasing a squirrel that looked tasty?" Azure the Dragon shrug off to say in what he was doing earlier.
"Eep…you didn't…ATE him, did you?" Fluttershy yelped in fearing if a hungry meat-eating komodo dragon caught a poor helpless squirrel.
"Nah, lost him in a weird quarry cave, built up a thirst to drink some sparkling water, next thing I knew when I left to sleep outside, I was feeling smarter & bigger?" Azure the Dragon shrug off to state in losing what he chase, drank something, next thing he knows, he appears looking as he is. "But lets save the rest for later, looks like we got some big fish to fry!" Then without warning, Azure slashes before biting through the vines like mad to make an opening while more brambles were trying to repair it's self from the attack.
"Now THAT'S a Komodo Dragon!" Rainbow Dash issued off in what just happened.
"Hmmm…." The sudden disturbance to notice a large creature was causing a problem in her garden. "Who let that creature in here? It's not native to this area's wildlife." She asked in never seeing a creature exist around Camp Everfree.
"That would be us!" Then Demon Gloriosa looked down to spot a few campers protesting, as Pinkamena called out with everyone in front of a dragon trying to make an opening for them.
"All right, sir..." Pinkie Pie announced to say this…
"I'm a woman." Demon Gloriosa dryly corrected that she is a female, not a male: which caused a record sound to be heard being scratch in the background.
"Ouch." Flash yelped from nearby in thinking that was a randomly dumb thing to do.
"We've come to rescue our camp, you misguided plant thing, & you shall be defeated by the very outmodes that you're trying to crush!" Pinkie Pie proclaimed
"Right! Cause there's more of us & only one of you..." Rainbow Dash was about to say until…
Suddenly as if by the She-Demon of planation's own dark aura, caused strange plants to emerge mixed with minerals of soil, dirt, & rocks. They began to form into abominations, a mixture of mutated plant life with the minerals of other substance to make hard plated skin protections for the glowing emerald lines that exhibit life. But the head frames show a beastman type were within was only black magic at work. These creatures made loud battle cries in standing behind Demon Gloriosa, much to the others surprise.
"I check that math again camper, meet my new staff…the Obsidians!" Demon Gloriosa proclaimed while introducing her new line of 'helpers' as she dub them.
"Let's see, there's more of us and... eight? Nine?" Applejack was counting, but then got confused when one of them things moved back & the other took the front.
"Did you count that one?" Rarity asked in thinking AJ counted the other one already.
"I think so." Applejack scratched her head from being somewhat certain.
"Will you all quit moving around? It's so frustrating! I think we counted one of you twice!" Pinkamena angrily snapped at those that were moving when they needed to count how many there are.
"Focus on getting the others out, the other half deal with these plant monsters!" Goldie stated in what they need to do, split up & do what they can…
Soon a weird divide & conquer was suddenly in motion, as everyone split off to do what they could. Many of the students were seen screaming to getaway, as Demon Gloriosa channeled her powerful magic through the geodes to make more brambles appear near Flash. But some caused the totem pole to tip, heading for Lyra Heartstrings & Sweetie Drop that hug another & scream in thinking this was it. But suddenly Rarity appeared, her pony ears & tail appeared which at that moment, she made a diamond shield wall appear that took the totem pole after gaining her Pony Hybrid Form.
"Guuogh!" Rarity makes a grunt noise from having absorb that impact while Lyra & Sweetie Drop were dashed off in a rainbow blur; thanks to Rainbow Dash.
As Fluttershy was helping the girls, Rainbow Dash felt herself magically transforming into her Pony Hybrid Form to get the ears, tail & wings before dashing off into action.
While Fluttershy was helping her fellow class mates, she spotted a hole in the ground, she knocked on it which made a chattering gopher appear followed by a few of it's friends.
"Um, hi. Do you think you can give us a hand…um, er, paw? We could really use a way out." Fluttershy kneel down to talk with the gophers while correcting her request; during which, she magically Pony-Up into her Pony Hybrid Form.
The gophers chattered a bit to respond in saying 'yes' before they started digging.
Rainbow Dash was zipping across the camp, helping to gather any of their class mates. Then Applejack was seen lifting up a heavy boulder on the ground with both hands. Then she glowed in obtaining her Pony Hybrid Form as well.
"HRrrugh…GRrruugh!" Then AJ lifted the boulder upwards, leaped in the air to punch the thing forward.
The boulder's weight broke through the bramble of wooden vines to make a hole. But slowly the bramble was reattaching with new vines to cover the hole.
"Hmph." Applejack made a huff expression in rolling up her sleeves, looks like this job ain't gonna be as easy as she thought.
Nearby Fluttershy's side, there was a large hole that the gophers made, which on the other side, they managed to make an exit outside the wooden vine dome of the camp. The gophers were chattering through the hole which Fluttershy listen closely to understand what they were saying. But just before Fluttershy could lead her class mates to freedom, vines came from the hole in the ground, as it was sealing it from anyone trying to leave. The culprit was Demon Gloriosa having her glowing hand make the vines stop anyone from leaving.
"GRrroarr…" Azure the Dragon was trying to break down the bramble wall, but it kept repairing it's self & he couldn't focus with more Obsidians leaping to restrain him.
"Ugh, these things are as annoying when they don't quit?" Goldie groans in seeing these Obsidians aren't lighting up.
"Time for all campers to return to their cabins, for a nice long stay." Demon Gloriosa proclaimed in having her minions round up any loose campers.
"Oh great, just like the Fall Formal and the Friendship Games!" Scootaloo rolled her eyes in seeing how this brings back bad memories of before.
"You mean Sunset and Twilight turning into demons?" Sweetie Belle asked in recalling what was related to the two & now.
"Yep, that's the case." Scootaloo nodded her head to agree on the subject.
"For now we're trapped. But it seems everyone that got in with us is here." Celestia stated at first, before she looks around & outside to notice something. "Wait. Where's Ben?" She didn't see where her son was at all.
"I don't know. I haven't seen him!" Luna shook her head in also not knowing where Ben was.
"I don't see Twilight or Nyx anywhere either!" Apple Bloom stated in noticing two others are not present.
"I don't know where they are, but we could sure use some extra help?" Goldie stated as he whacked an Obisdian with a shovel, but it got up again.
"Allow me…" Demon Gloriosa announced to say something, as if preparing to offer her 'help' on dealing with troublemakers.
But just then, some magical powder went pass the She-Demon that almost hit her, as Demon Gloriosa glared down in who was causing trouble now. The answer came from Pinkie Pie tipping a jar of sprinkles in her hand, which started to glow pink. Then as she whirl her arm back & thrown the stuff as a powder sphere, she also Pony-Up in her Hybrid Form too. "Poww-Poooww…" Soon the magically glowing sprinkle powder exploded by the wooden vines, creating two openings.
"Hrugh-Nrrughhh!" Applejack came running in with a table, & plugged one of the open holes to keep the vines from resealing it shut, she yelps to keep the thing in place.
Demon Gloriosa glared at the girls attempt, but made a wicked smile in having her glowing hands make a volt effect on where she was focusing. That caused the wooden table to be broken apart by the strength of the wooden vine wall. Pinkie Pie gasped as Fluttershy & the students were worried that plan didn't work out well. Before Pinkie Pie could make another opening, she & Fluttershy yelp when brambles grew out to wrap around & trap Lyra Heartstrings, Sweetie Drop & Valhatten. It also caused the pink girl to get tripped up & drop her jar of sprinkles, but yelps in seeing a bramble made of a claw hand about to get her as Fluttershy watched this happen.
"GYAaau-aaaughh…" Applejack intervene to wrestle the bramble claw, but she yelps from being tossed aside. Then more brambles grew from the ground to trap her, but Rarity came & used her diamond shield ability to make a protective dome to keep them safe from harm & outdid the wooden vines.
Soon many of the only free campers were being trapped in wooden vine tent domes by Demon Gloriosa. Rainbow Dash was trying to use her super speed to save any that weren't caught, but she was just a second too late. Becoming determine, Rainbow Dash speed through as more brambles grew out to get her, but she dashed away each time, but yelped when one of them ensnared her as the girl struggles to get free. Then a magical explosion happened on the vines, dropping Rainbow Dash, as she had help from Pinkie Pie nearby who used her exploding sprinkles. But the girl accidentally held her sprinkles to make them glow, & toss them aside pass AJ, Rarity & Fluttershy…
"Pooowwvhmm…" The jar of sprinkles exploded that made an opening in the wood vine dome wall, only for the plants to reseal it once more.
"This isn't working! Her magic is too strong!" Applejack shook her head with cautious worry, even with their new magic ability plus being in their Pony Hybrid forms; Demon Gloriosa was far stronger.
"Oh, this is nothing, compared to…THIS!" Demon Gloriosa announced in having something else up her sleeves.
Suddenly without warning, everyone watches in seeing Gloriosa continue to wield her magic to make her dome spread taller as she won't let anything in or get out; Camp Everfree. The others trying to face the Obsidians are having some difficulty, what with taking down one & two more take their place while saving any campers still free. But one thing is clear on Demon Gloriosa's mind, she will never let the camp be harmed with her around.
~
BACK AT THE QUARRY CAVERN
We see Spike & Phobos growling as they were sinking their teeth to pull some vines off of Twilight & Nyx's feet which was successful. Pretty much Twilight, Nyx, Ben & Sunset were freed thanks to Spike & Phobos' effort as they brush off the vines on them while Twilight picked up Spike & Nyx picked up Phobos.
"Nice work, Spike!" Sunset petted Spike with a smile in thanking him for the rescue.
"Ugh, this is why I don't eat my vegetables." Phobos groans from having to deal with eating something he never likes to eat.
"Oh Phobos?" Nyx rolled her eyes to say, but suddenly…her eyes flash a brief moment, then… "Hugh….watch out!" She gasped before warning everyone…
Then a strange wailing sound was heard from another deep corner of the cave, as something was seen coming for those inside: they were golems made of rock minerals exhibiting dark auras that made them active.
"What are those?" Spike asked in what they saw was not normal.
"They're…exhibiting a dark magical force…The geode with a small essence of a Dark Stone must have transform the crystal caverns properties into living beast." Sunset explained with a worried expression of what was going on here.
"What do we do?" Twilight asked in what can be done to stop those things.
"I'll handle this, this is where my new magic comes in handy." Ben issued off to say as he underwent to transform into his Pony Hybrid Form. "Hyuuaahh!" Then he summoned a Megaton Hammer & started to bash the rock heads with it.
The group ran off from where they were to the entrance while Ben delay with the dark crystal golems. But when the others reach the entrance, it was still sealed shut from the boulders blocking anything from getting in or out. Try as Sunset might when making some grunt sounds, it was not working, the boulders were too heavy.
"Guys, any luck!" Ben's voice was heard calling out.
"No! It's blocked! We need your help!" Nyx yelled out in thinking Ben got do something, he's got strong stuff that can break down rock blockades easily.
"Kind of busy!" Ben voice responded with more bashing sounds in the background.
"There's another way. Twilight, you have to use your magic!" Sunset turn to her nervous friend in hearing this sudden request to perform…magic.
"I don't think I can lift something that big." Twilight shook her head in fearing that she might not be able to move something as big & heavy as a boulder.
"It's our only chance of getting out of here & helping our friends!" Sunset pointed out that Twilight was the only person that can do this & help their friends against what has become of Gloriosa.
"Please Twilight, you might be able to do it if you try." Nyx pleaded for Twilight to try, she has to or else everyone at camp is in danger.
Spike nodded his head to agree on that Twilight has got this, which the girl slowly became…determine. Once putting Spike on the ground, Twilight held her hands out to try to focus a glowing violet aura of magic which was covering the boulder.
"Grrrugh…Nrrrughhh!" Twilight was struggling to move the heavy boulder, as a strange glow mark appeared on the forehead.
But just then, the boulder was pushed through that broke the vines that held it in place, re-opening the cave entrance.
"Pant-pant…" Twilight stops to take a breather from having about exhausted herself until Sunset caught her.
Sunset & Twilight smiled in seeing that through their effort, managed to make a difference.
"Boom…" Then the girls slightly yelped, saw smoke & expected an evil creature to come at them, but… "Cough-cough…Few, hey, you got it open?" But it was instead Ben, as he seem to have finished handling one messy problem.
"Yep, thanks to Twilight." Nyx smiled to point off in who helped them out.
After that, they all quickly ran forth out of Quarry Cave to head for the large wooden dome that was still growing ever higher to be taller then the forest trees.
~
MEANWHILE WITHIN THE FOREST DOME OF CAMP EVERFREE
The scene changes to near the sundial, where Demon Gloriosa stood there while looking a bit…irritated by those that have constantly try to oppose her. Even her Obsidians were getting handled by any opposers & a large dragon.
"Why are you fighting me?!" Demon Gloriosa snapped off angrily at the RainBooms & their allies for opposing her. "I'm doing this to save our camp! I'm doing this for you!" She tries to get them to see why she's doing this, but the gang were just lost in how obsessive Demon Gloriosa was blinded by her actions.
"You call imprisoning everyone against their will, as in it's for them?" Goldie raised an eyebrow in thinking that logic was really illogical.
"Guhahah…Gloriosa, let's just think about this for a moment, shall we?" Rarity nervously chuckled in seeing that Gloriosa is completely lost in having gone over the edge of this rational action. "I mean, I think Camp Everfree is absolutely delightful, but I just don't know that I'm quite ready to give up my weekly trips to the spa." She gave a cheeky smile to express how she enjoys the camp, but she also enjoys other things outside of the woods.
"Ex-nah on the Spa-ade!" Timber muttered quietly to alert Rarity to not mention that, because it's consider a bad trigger word for his sister right now.
"To the spa...?" As Demon Gloriosa sweetly said this, her emerald magic aura began to spark as if that word…triggered something before… "TO THESPA?!" She yelled out enrage as more bramble grew out all around her as it freaked the gang out; apparently they didn't know that 'spa' was a trigger word she heard & hated of what the camp was gonna be turn into by Filthy Rich.
Rainbow Dash was dashing off to attack, but Demon Gloriosa held her hand to cause the girl to trip as she yelps out. That's when Rainbow Dash plowed into the RainBooms that stood there as she made it like a bowling strike. Just as Timber Spruce got himself free, he & everyone saw Demon Gloriosa growing taller with the wood vines wrapped around her waist.
"Gloriosa listen to me, this isn't the way!" Timber Spruce tried to reason with his sister to realize this rash action is not the way to save the camp.
"I appreciate your concern, Timber, but I got this!" Demon Gloriosa replied on her brother's words; until that last part was more ferociously demanding.
As Demon Gloriosa held her hands that made the magic happen, & caused her vines beneath her to ensnare her brother.
"Agh!" Timber Spruce yelped from this, as he was being wrapped by vines. "No, you don't!" He snapped off with worry that his sister doesn't got this, it's too much for Gloriosa to handle.
Demon Gloriosa stood still as the wild powers of magic ran & surge through her, unknowing that her brother's words were right: the magic has corrupted & made it beyond the woman's control now.
"UURRaaurrghh…." Azure the Dragon was heard groaning as wild magical vines & brambles entangle him along with the other Obsidians pinning him down to cease his actions to break the forest dome.
"Azure!" Pinkamena called out, but yelps as Goldie pulled her away from more wild vines going amuck.
OUTSIDE THE WOODEN DOME
The scene changes to when those from Quarry Cave reach where Camp Everfree is, but are blocked by a wall of brambles. Spike, Phobos, Nyx, Ben & Sunset try to open a way while Twilight stood by to watch. But no matter what, even the grunting work of three kids couldn't get the vines to be pulled off to let them in. Not even as Ben chop with his sword, the brambles just magically regrew back.
"Okay, so that didn't work out?" Ben raised an eyebrow in how to get in now.
"Maybe there's another way. Twilight, do you think you can use your magic?" Sunset turn to Twilight in thinking the only one that can help them get inside, is the girl's telekinetic powers.
"I don't want to use too much. Midnight Sparkle could take over." Twilight expressed out her own worries & concern that if she uses too much of her magical powers, her other self…may take over & that would mean...the return of Midnight Sparkle.
"Again with that one?" Phobos raised an eyebrow in hearing about that same nightmare the girl keeps having.
"Yeah, she worries a lot about it." Spike lightly nodded in knowing how Twilight doesn't let it go so easily.
"Twilight listen to me, our friends are in there!" Sunset held Twilight's clutch hands in expressing her worries about what was happening to their friends as they speak.
During this motion, Sunset emitted a magical glow of having transformed into her Pony-Up Hybrid Form. Seeing the seriousness of Sunset's words of thinking of their friends over one's own fears of which was scarier, Twilight took a moment to exhale her breath.
"Okay." Twilight nodded her head, deciding to become firm in knowing compared to her fear, the fear of losing friends is much higher.
"That's the stuff Twilight, knew you could do it." As Nyx smiled in seeing Twilight face her fears, she magically glowed to Pony-Up into her Pony Hybrid Form too.
Twilight approached the bramble wood, admitted her magical aura to try to cause them to move away. Inside, Demon Gloriosa was making herself appear like a tree wrapped in wood vines, as her brambles grew over the wall to form a perfect dome with her tree branches about to reach up to the ceiling top in completing her work to keep Camp Everfree safe.
"Please, Gloriosa!" Timber Spruce tried to speak out to reach his sister once more. "What you're doing is crazy! You have to listen to me!" He spoke that this will not solve the problem, she has to listen to him.
"That isn't Gloriosa." That's when Sunset's voice was heard that Timber looked back to spot her entering,, Nyx, Ben, & Twilight having opened a way through the wooden barrier outside with Spike & Phobos getting in too.
But as Twilight was focusing on keeping the vines back, a mysterious glow was seen on her forehead once more as if she seem to be…struggling. But once she made it through, she cease the action to enter before the vines resealed the dome to walk near Sunset.
"Twilight!" Rarity expressed her happiness in who's here, which the rest of the RainBooms noticed.
"Sunset!" Applejack replied off in noticing another of their friends was back as Fluttershy helped Rainbow Dash up.
"Ben!" Fluttershy spoke in seeing another friend she's glad is back.
"Nyx!" Pinkie Pie happily spoke in seeing the youngest ally of the gang is here.
"You're all okay!" Rainbow Dash smiled in being glad to see their pals made it back safely.
"But what are you talking about?" Timber asked in what Sunset said about his sister not being Gloriosa.
"That isn't your sister. It's someone who's been consumed by Equestrian magic. Even something dark has helped corrupt her." Sunset approached Timber with Twilight to explain what's happened to Gloriosa, as she was in a state of being consumed by the magic along with the aid of a fragment Dark Stone.
Demon Gloriosa smiled with her eyes flaring, as she was nearly done making her wooden dome completed.
"Whoever you are, you have to let my sister go! Please, Gloriosa, come back!" Timber Spruce tried to speak out in wanting to reach whatever was left of his sister; enough that he showed…tears. "I need you!" He expressed this great concern of his as tears slipped down as he needs his sister, but the vines grew around Demon Gloriosa in sealing her from view. "Gloriosa!" He yelled out to reach his sister, but Sunset & Twilight yelped as the brambles grew to swallow the guy, & the girls had to vacate the spot before they were caught too.
"Lookout, incoming Obsidians! AKA, Demon Glorisoa' minions!" Pinkamena alerted of more of trouble was coming at them.
At that moment, the return group dodged incoming Obsidian attacks. Nyx was learning to foresee where & when the attacks came, & counterattack back. Ben used his summoned weapons to break these things as Twilight tried to learn her own magic control to levitate & bash them into each other or against the forest dome. Wasn't long until Ben & Twilight were back to back in fighting these things as the others helped however they can, while someone…deciding to have a chat under such circumstances.
"So Twiley...about you & Timber...are you, you know?" Ben suddenly brought that up after taking out one Obsidian.
"Ben, I assured you. You're still mine. I am not leaving you for some cute guy I meant on a camping trip." Twilight smiled off to say this in realizing, Ben was worried if he was losing her to another guy; it's sweet that he thought about her.
"Oh, that's cool, cool." Ben replied off to say while taking down another minion before pausing. "So how is Trixie? She's cute?"
"Ben!" Twilight narrow her eyes in seeing what she saw her lover was up to.
"Just kidding, just kidding! Man, I love it when we kid one another." Ben smiled off in liking it best to pull another's leg after learning all was good in one's relationship.
"Yeah, me too." Twilight smiled to say in levitating some minions to get toss & bust apart.
"Geez, and I thought times with Sunburst is bad." Ben rolled his eyes to say this about remembering something that happen long ways back.
"Who?" Flash asked as he tried to whack an Obsidian with a pickaxe when he heard Ben mention a name.
"Big friend of mine. Remind me to introduce you sometime." Ben commented to have said this…
"Guys, there might not BE a later. LOOK!" Goldie forewarn the group in noticing they still have a bigger problem ahead.
Soon the tree dome was completed as emerald electric cracking surges started happening, zapping all over the inside of the camp. It was causing more vines to grow, as Sunset was trying to lead a huffing Twilight while Ben grabbed Nyx to follow, but they were almost caught. Then at a lucky save, Rainbow Dash swooped in followed by the rest of the RainBooms.
"Rarity!" Applejack made a firm express in signaling their friend to do her part now.
Soon Rarity used her magic powers to form a diamond shield dome that protected everyone from the vines. But the emerald electric surges flash around, as more vines grew all over; even to grasp the only thing keeping those left standing from becoming Gloriosa's next victims.
"I can't keep this up forever!" Rarity exclaimed in grunting from trying to hold out, but even she has limitations.
"For how long?" Phobos asked a blank question in not knowing the answer to that.
"I DON'T KNOW!" Rarity yelled out in struggle stress cause she doesn't know the answer.
"We've taken down those Obsidians, but Gloriosa just makes more?" Goldie stated in seeing every-time they take down a few, Demon Gloriosa makes more.
"And every time we break the dome, she just heals it." Ben pointed off in seeing they can't tear down the forest dome cause it regenerates from each offensive measurements.
"It's like fighting nature, we're against nature at her most dangerous peak." Pinkamena pointed off to randomly state a logic that seems impossible to beat.
Things seem bad, if their only defense goes, then they will be caught by the magic vines & it'll be all over, & Demon Gloriosa will have won. Everyone seem to have tried everything, but alone couldn't do much even with their new magic, everyone who partake in the fight against Demon Gloriosa. Everyone except for one: Twilight Sparkle.
"It's up to you Twilight." Sunset turn to Twilight in making a firm face that the only one left to help them out, is Twilight.
"Me?" Twilight responded surprise in having heard this.
"Her!?" The others except a struggling Rarity responded in confusion.
"Listen Twilight. You can use your magic to pull the brambles apart!" Sunset explained that with Twilight's magic, she can pull the branches apart to allow them a shot at Demon Gloriosa.
"No. There's too many of them." Twilight shook her head 'no' while freaking out on the sheer number. "It would take too much magic. I can't!" The girl felt that the task was too big for her alone to perform.
"It's the only way! You have to embrace the magic inside you!" Sunset pleaded that Twilight's magic is the only way to get through this, but only if the girl embraces her own gifted magic that's hers alone.
"What if 'she' takes over?" Twilight held herself in fearing about the someone inside her that can take over her very self. "What if instead of saving everyone, I turn into Midnight Sparkle & only make things worse?" She held her head & was near tears about becoming a monster like Midnight Sparkle & endanger everyone here then what is already occurring.
"That won't happen!" Sunset came up to state this to Twilight that such a thing won't happen to the surprise girl. "We won't let it." Sunset made a calm smile shared by the others in saying; they won't let Twilight become someone she isn't.
From her dripping tears, Twilight hears the magic shield dome beginning to crack, in mere moments the vines will breach their defense. The smart girl grips her fist, shuts her eyes to focus on her magic. Two glowing magic signs appeared with the violet on the hands, but also a magic mark on her forehead…the same spot which Midnight Sparkle had her magic horn appear from. Outside the branches on the shield dome, bright light began to escape…but the glass was breaking…
"BREAKvhmmm…/Agh!" Rarity groans from being pushed back as AJ caught her; as the girl was exhausted that she couldn't keep this up anymore.
"Rarity just reach her limit!?" Nyx exclaimed with worry of the situation.
"I have a shield, but not even that can hold a spread out attack?" Ben stated that even if he defends, it won't be enough if the enemy goes around the already pushing force.
The shield dome was beginning to crack without Rarity to strengthen, all eyes were on their last hope…Twilight.
"Come on, Twilight! You have to be stronger than 'she' is!" Sunset spoke with a firm determination to shake her friend to know that Twilight is stronger then Midnight Sparkle.
Twilight was seen in a teary struggle state with a glow mark on her forehead not vanishing. Sunset's magic glowed as Twilight continued to focus hard while fighting the urge against the returning glowing horn that was the original mark sign of Midnight Sparkle's return; before it expanded & a familiar flaming eye-mask appeared as Twilight's eyes blur out.

WITHIN TWILIGHT'S SUBCONSCIOUS
We see Twilight floating in a starry realm, as she opened her eyes to see nothing…until evil glowing eyes appeared from behind the girl.
"Wuhahahahaahhhh…." Then appearing as a giant face & body form before the little Twilight, was her evil ego of corrupted magic: Midnight Sparkle. "How foolish. You will never control me! I will always be a part of you!" Midnight Sparkle exclaimed her dark matter of what was futile, as her presence turn into an emerald light before letting it's self sink into the teen girl. "Now, become a tool for our grand Dark Lord!" As she proclaimed, a shadowy image of a dark figure upon a throne was seen above within the realm.
Twilight tried to restrain herself of what was happening, she groans to fight until from her glowing emerald eyes, raven wings began to form on her backside & her glasses vanished.
"Noooo!" Twilight screams as she felt herself losing, as the magical horn appeared above her with her magical mask.
"I told you it was useless, now become me again!" Midnight Sparkle's voice proclaimed in about to win here & corrupt Twilight.
Twilight felt like it was all over, until…
"Twilight, listen to me!" Then Sunset Shimmer appeared behind Twilight's very soul as a soul form, trying to reach out to her friend in need. "You are in charge!" She issued forth in saying that no one is in charge of Twilight but her own.
"You are a light, darling! A force for good!" Then Rarity appeared nearby as another spiritual form to express what she knows what Twilight is.
"Yeah! You can kick the darkness's butt!" Rainbow Dash appeared as a spirit form to encourage her pal to defeat her darkness.
"We're here for you, Twilight!" Pinkie Pie's spirit appears to give her friend a good cheer.
"And we'll be here, no matter what!" Applejack's spirit form appeared to be honest that they will always be there to help their friend.
"We believe in you!" Fluttershy's spirit spoke with kindness of believing Twilight can do this.
"We all do!" Nyx's spirit spoke with words she knew was to be of what she knows who Twilight is.
"Trust in us Twilight! Because I trust the girl I love the most!" Ben's spirit spoke with courage to encourage Twilight to fight hard.
All over Twilight, the brilliant light of her friends & love ones were all supporting to help the girl overcome the darkness.
"What is…happening!?" Midnight Sparkle's voice sounded disarray, something was wrong… "My Lord!" She cried out for the dark figure above, but without warning…it vanished!?
"You... are not... Midnight Sparkle! And you never will be! You are YOU!" Sunset's voice issued forth to say this with a much firm & determine claim of who Twilight REALLY that they know.
Twilight heard all of this, with her shut eyes, she slowly absorb all of this, & then…her REAL eyes overcame the emerald glow.
"Don't listen, you & I…we belong TOGETHER!" Midnight Sparkle's very figure frame was halfway out of Twilight's body, trying to regain control, but…
"No! We do NOT! For I am-I am…I...am...Twilight Sparkle!" Twilight spoke with self-confidence as she broke the magical mask to make her real glasses appear. "And the magic I carry inside me is... the Magic of Friendship!" With these next words, cracks form on the raven wings & horn to shatter into pieces.
"NOOOORRAARrughhh!" Midnight Sparkle's very essence was disappearing as she faded within the scenery from Twilight's sheer will overcoming her own…
~
THE REAL WORLD
Back where the gang were trap by the branch vines, a brighter violet ray of magical light shine extra bright.
"POWFruvhmmm…" Suddenly, the branches exploded from a force that was shot out. And what flew up to the central tree was….Twilight Sparkle, but she had changed. She now had the same Pony-Up Hybrid Form Pony Twilight acquired: ears, tail, & wings. With Twilight's focus, she was magically forcing the branch vines to move to reveal Demon Gloriosa from within as she felt….a power overcoming her…
"No!" Demon Gloriosa gasped in feeling that someone was overpowering her, as she struggle to regain control. "Stop!" She yelled off in wanting this resistance to end or it will ruin all she's done.
Suddenly, Gloriosa's necklace with the geodes were levitated off her necklace by Twilight's magic. That caused the 9 geodes to separate to show a yellow, blue, white, purple, orange, pink, red, & black. But the dark crimson emitted an eerie wail sound as the dark aura faded before falling on the ground; turn gray. But without warning, the other 8 floated off towards different members of the RainBooms: Yellow for Fluttershy, Orange for AJ, Blue for Rainbow Dash, Pink for Pinkie Pie, White for Rarity, Red for Sunset, & surprisingly lastly, Black for Nyx. Then a bright flash occurred, as the RainBooms underwent a NEW Secondary Transformation. The new forms gave new boot-wear, glove-wear, outfit-wear, even a change of hair-style while still retaining their Pony Hybrid Forms.
1st on right side, Applejack appeared in a turquoise dress with gold buttons, & a golden neck bane, with dark-gold leg-wear, golden cow-boy boots & cow-boy gloves with emerald shape apples & the same emerald jewels as a hairband while her pony-tail had emerald straps. She wore a red necklace with the orange geode embedded in the center shape like three apples.
2nd was Fluttershy who appeared in a light-blue dress with an emerald coat attachment, white leg-wear, pink sparkle boots with emerald scarfs tie on the ankles, violet-pink butterfly accessories on her wrist-wear & one as her hair bane, purple flower shoulder pads, & her wings became turquoise crystal form. She wore a yellow necklace with the red geode embedded in the center shape like a butterfly.
3rd was Rarity who appeared in a tan-blue dress with glittering deep blue shoulder straps to make an 'X' pattern from front & back, with a diamond buckle on a pink belt, purple leg-wear, violet boot & wrist-wear with diamond accessories, & had a tan-blue tiara around her back head to tie the ponytail which appeared nice & long with the edge swirling thrice. She wore a red necklace with the white geode embedded in the center shape a diamond.
4th was Sunset Shimmer who appeared in a red glitter dress in a Chinese style of sun-flare lines, black leg-wear, gold boots & shoulder pads with blue crystal spikes on the heels & on the shoulders, & a sun hairband crown, plus her hair had a Chinese theme style to match her outfit. She wore a red necklace with the red geode embedded in the center shape like a sun-set.
5th was Pinkie Pie who appeared in a glittering pink-violet dress with an inner yellow dress, violet leg-wear, tan-violet sock-wear, pink-violet wrist-wear, plus sneakers with blue diamond ankles, diamonds on the waist & shoulders, a violet hairband with diamonds, plus her hairdo was style into two short puff pigtails. She wore a red necklace with the pink geode embedded in the center shape like three balloons.
6th on further left was Rainbow Dash appearing in a glittering red ice-skater dress with a bolt tie buckle with a lightning bolt cloth wear off the front, blue with yellow stripe-line leg-wear, white sock-wear, bronze-gold lace tie shoes with yellow wings on the ankles, gold wrist-bands, yellow diamonds on the waist, shoulders, & her wings were tan light-blue crystal form, & her ponytail became more wild-like with a hairband. She wore a red necklace with the blue geode embedded in the center shape like a cloud with a thunderbolt.
7th up was Twilight Sparkle who floated down in joining the rest as the center in receiving the purple geode that glowed & enshrine her to give her a new secondary transformation form. Now Twilight appeared in a Scfy style blue glitter dress with a light-violet skirt, dark tan-purple leg-wear, light blue boot & wrist wear with magenta stars, a glowing white 'V' on the outfit, & clear blue crystal form wings on the back, plus light-violet spec glasses & a star-frame tiara on the top of her head while her ponytail had a long four-spit edge from the pink band. She wore a red necklace with the purple geode embedded in the center shape like a star.
8th to last was Nyx who floated down to join the rest next to Twilight in receiving the black geode that glowed to enshrine her a new secondary transformation form. Nyx was the most different because it somehow caused her to growth to evolve into a teenager. All while sporting dark purple dress & boots with tan purple leg-wear, & has black crystal form wings on the back. She was seen equip with aqua-blue shields on her ankles, shield wrist-bands, shield shoulders, & a belt with a shield buckle, & also a shield hair-pin on her left forehead side. She wore a black necklace with the black geode embedded in the center shape like a shield.
The RainBooms had acquired a new secondary transformation form which gave them new outfit wardrobe that best fits their theme & personality along with their element. They still retain their Pony Hybrid Forms, but now with a secondary transformation stage which hence to be dubbed: Geode Modes. Now the RainBooms unleashed a 8 light pillar which shot over the forest dome before shrinking down to create a rainbow nova bomb that expanded it's explosion. This caused the forest dome seen outside to be pierce by flashy color lights which effected the dome, & slowly turn it to glass as it slowly was cracking until…it implodes in a bright flash. Once it was over, the entire brambles that covered the camp were completely gone as emerald particles fell all over. Followed by the Obsidians vanishing while anything that restrain Azure left, leaving the new dragon puzzled in what happened. Even those outside that were trying to get in, witness the feat that happened of the regenerative bramble dome was gone now...
"What just happened here?" Smokescreen asked in what they saw happened.
"It appears the entire forest dome…has vanished?" Prowl theorized the logic view of what was displayed, now gone without warning.
"Did it happen on it's own, or did we get some help from inside?" Breakaway pondered the very thought that Saber Dragoon, Laxtinct, & Shorty were thinking of.
Wasn't long before by the cabin, Principle Celestia & Vice-Principle Luna came out along with the campers to see & be amazed what transpired as many began to cheer with rejoice. Sandalwood & Trixie saw the light show with smiles, even Bulk Biceps ran off so happy to hug the two, which caught them by surprise in seeing how the big guy showed his happiness. Lastly, Timber Spruce was coming to from what happened to him, & looked in a general direction to get up & ran towards….his sister.
"Gloriosa?" Timber Spruce shook the now asleep & normal form of Gloriosa Daisy to check on her; to which a single emerald spark touch her which in turn…awaken her.
"What... What happened?" Gloriosa Daisy suddenly came around to ponder with concern; in what even happened just now.
"It's okay." Timber just smiled before he happily hug his sister. "It's gonna be okay." He happily embrace Gloriosa in being so happy to have his normal sister back to who she was.
Timber looked up above in knowing who he has to thank for saving his sister, & Twilight smiled in being happy to have helped everyone & herself. The RainBooms held their hands as they floated down to the ground, only to smile more in getting cheers from their classmates, principle & vice-principle. Spike & Phobos were seen rushing up to the gang as each dog leaped into Twilight & Nyx's arms as they happily welcomed the pets.
"You did it!" Spike exclaimed in being happy that Twilight & the gang won & saved the day. "Whoa. Nice bling." The guy smiled in noticing the new necklace Twilight was wearing of a purple star on a purple necklace.
"Yeah…I like that necklace, Nyx. Really spiffy in the bling-bling with you looking a bit more older." Phobos commented off in noticing what Nyx was wearing, & boy was it something to comment about.
"Why, thank you, Phobos." Nyx smiled happily to hear her pet pal make such a lovely comment about her jewelry & her more grown-up form.
"Wha...Wha are these?" Applejack held her red necklaces with the three red apples in puzzlement.
"I'm not sure." Sunset exclaimed in puzzlement about not knowing what these things are, but… "But clearly we have some kind of connection to them." She smiled in stating that whatever they are, the RainBooms are connected to the necklaces that were form by the magic geodes.
"I almost don't care what they are. They are gorgeous!" Rarity expressed her own thoughts about what they have is simply wonderful to make them marvelous.
"Ben!" Suddenly, Ben hears someone call his name as the one running towards him was…Principle Celestia.
"Mom!" Ben responded off before he ran to his mother, which they both hugged each other.
"I'm so glad you're safe." Celestia smiled in being happy to see her son was alright.
"I'm glad you, Aunt Luna, & everyone else is too." Ben stated as they shared a bit of this moment…
After having a brief moment of mother-son time, Principle Celestia went to check on the other students scattered that were free from what happened. Just then, Ben spotted something on the ground to pick it up, the former Dark Crimson geode which had turn completely gray. When Ben picked it up, he didn't know why, he was expecting…something to happen to him like the other geodes happen to the RainBooms, even Nyx, but…nothing?
"Why isn't it working for me?" Ben raised an eyebrow in realizing, nothing was gonna happen. "But why didn't this one work?" Ben holds up the gray geode to gaze deeply at it with puzzlement, how was it he wasn't effective by this magic object like the rest.
"Maybe because you're a late bloomer?/Whack!/Ow!" Phobos blankly pointed off in remarks about Ben's condition, only to yelp when Nyx whacks him on the head without warning.
"Not cool Phobos!" Nyx lectured her pet pal for speaking rudely on such a thing.
"I wonder, if it's because the magic was corrupted when a fragment of a Dark Stone was embedded?" Sunset "The shard is dead since it was removed from Gloriosa, who knows…maybe it's recovering?"
"You think so?" Ben asked in thinking maybe something will happen if given time.
"Who knows, just have to wait & see what happens, after all, you are the only one with magic around now &…" Sunset shrug off to lightly smile about the possibility seems about right since Ben seem left out.
"Not wearing nice outfit getups all of a sudden." Pinkie Pie cuts in to finish that sentence, which Ben chuckled a bit off; in a way, he is jealous the others have such nice wardrobes & he didn't wanna feel left out.
"Well whatever the case with them maybe, they are too wondrous for words." Rarity proclaimed in seeing the geodes as they are, wondrous objects to look & wear. "Guuuagh! And will totally go with the other collection I was working on for the camp fashion show! Gahuhuhu…." Rarity was completely geeking out over what she was picturing to giggle a bit to sign from her moment until; something came to mind. "That's probably cancelled, isn't it?" She signed in realizing that the fashion show that was gonna be held, is no more because of the crazy magic event which everyone began to realize.
"I'm sorry…because of me…I ruin everything…no matter what I do, I…just don't got this? Not even with magic & all that power…" Gloriosa Daisy looked down in regret in realizing, everything that happened here, everything she tried to protect with that power…only end up making a bigger mess then every before.
"Trust me, Glorious. We all have been there. We made mistakes, & afterwards, have been forgiven from reflecting on our misguided actions." Ben stated off in making this comment in knowing Gloriosa didn't know that the magic was too much, & eventually lead her down the wrong path; especially when an evil object help brought out the worse in someone.
"Right, & it's not like someone we neglected would find some stone that can erase memories & make someone hate a person again." Pinkamena shrug off to randomly state this which caused everyone to look at her when she pause to think for a second. "Hugh…Wow, I wonder if that was breaking the 4th wall of some big foreshadowing?"
"And I think Pinkie Pie was random?" Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes in seeing another random girl act like her friend.
"Hey, you kids alright." A voice was heard as everyone saw Shorty walking with Laxtinct, Saber Dragoon, & the 3 other Autobots.
"Hugh, when did you all get here?" Rainbow Dash raised an eyebrow in seeing these guys here out of the bloom.
"Oh we were nearby a cabin, we were watching you from afar in case anything happened." Laxtinct
"Which apparently something did, unfortunately, we weren't able to breach the dome without the risk of hurting the captives." Saber Dragoon
"Amazing though, Twilight…you & the others…those getups…those geodes?" Shorty had his scan device out that use to read Energon outputs to determine everyone's 'magic' energy while noticing how everyone was not only transform, but other things caught his interest. "According to my scanner, they're exhibiting a higher output of raise energy levels compared to your usual performance in those hybrid forms?" What he said made it sound like the group's usual strength when exhibiting their magic, has gone up more so then usual.
"Hugh?! Is dat like saying we got a power-up, like something from a video game?" Applejack rubs the back of her head in picturing how that statement makes sense by another means.
"Oh my, that's very surprising? Oh, I mean the second surprising thing since, well…Pinkamena's pet komodo dragon Azure became a big, realistic dragon?" Fluttershy meekly was stating to say while also pointing something approaching near the Autobots; a large new dragon friend.
"Hello…" Azure the Dragon replied off to say to those that were a bit freaked out to meet a dragon on the camp grounds.
"Yeah, that's another thing we wanted to wonder since nobody was fleeing in terror of a large dragon here?" Smokescreen pondered off in having seen a dragon here, but nobody's running in fear.
"At least this one seems reasonable & more friendly, the last dragon I saw was during that Battle of the Bands." Breakaway pointed off to mention a time there was an evil dragon they fought that was way back when.
"I believe the reports mention it was a foe name Fafnir who turn into a dragon that time?" Prowl pointed off in recalling a villain that had magic to become a terrible beast when everyone fought other foes.
"Well lets see, we saved the camp from another She-Demon event, we got new magic abilities, so I guess the only thing left uncheck is a large metal wall?" Pinkie Pie was counting down everything that happened & anything that was finished & unfinished.
"Um, what large metal wall Pinkie Pie?" Sunset raised an eyebrow in pondering that last thing the random girl said that everyone was lost in.
"Silly, the one that's scrapping the ground across the distance." Pinkie Pie smiled off to point to a distance in what she meant.
Suddenly across Camp Everfree, a strange loud 'rumble' & 'boom' effects that would be signs of an earthquake & storms could be heard. But that's wrong, what was ahead was something tall, taller then a building, taller then a mountain, wider then the Great Wall of China. It was a metallic wall piece attack to something which extents beyond the clouds, & dug through the ground, tearing pass the terrain, the whole forest of trees, even small mountains, leaving behind almost lava coming or spreading as if slowly breaking the ground it's self: one word can describe this…MADNESS!
"HOLY SHAMOLEY! What The Heck IS That!?" Goldie gasped in great shock that his face was turning white with fear at what he sees.
"Oh my, is that something Gloriosa made?" Rarity asked in worrying if that was something leftover from the last opponent they beat.
"No, we took the geodes from her, & change everything back…that thing isn't magic?" Sunset shook her head in stating the logic, yet somehow, that thing ahead of them is NOT a result from magic at all.
"Yo bots, that structure integrity & designs, you don't think?" Smokescreen stated in noticing that the metal wall & attachment cables, it looks familiar.
"Hey, what's got you bots so distracted?" Saber Dragoon asked in noticing the Transformers showing concerns.
"We know what that is. That's….our home….a piece of Planet: Cybertron." Breakaway proclaimed forth in mentioning what was causing trouble, a piece of their world.
"Wait, time out! As in Cybertron, your home world? That HUGE Chunk!" Laxtinct exclaimed in thinking that's nuts that a piece of a metal world was here.
"But that's impossible, why is it here, why is even a piece of it shredding almost a state wide field of the planet!?" Shorty asked in not figuring how such a planet was here, it should be in the outer reaches of their solar system.
"We wish we could explain, but even we do not know?" Prowl shook his head in not having any answers to explain this.
"Which is why…" Suddenly, a bright flash happened as some emerald swirling vortex portal appeared to everyone's view. "Someone came to help solve a bit of that." And who should walk out of the strange portal, but Armor Stark.
"Who…are you?" Ben asked in not knowing who was here; before the helmet revealed a face behind the armor.
"Hugh….that design spec., that face that was seen on science genius magazines. Could you be….the famous genius inventor & businessman of Stark International: Armor Stark!?" Twilight gasped in almost instantly going fan-girl crazy of realizing, a celebrity she admires was here.
"The very same." Armor Stark replied off to say this, catching everyone by surprise of his sudden & unexpected visit. "Now, I'm gonna give everyone here the brief explanation. Cybertron has come, a big crisis is upon us of 2 worlds colliding, & the only thing to stop it, is a staff wielded by the Wizard Merlin. Crazy, I know how it sounds." "Right now, I'm ordering evacuations of the areas here, so all campers, take what you need, & get out quickly, cause that thing will be here in almost a couple of hours."
"Wait, that thing will destroy the camp?" Gloriosa gasped in having heard, that giant metal piece scrapping widespread lands is…coming to their camp.
"In a couple of hours?" Timber responded in shock that they have only hours before this place is no more.
"That's right, but we're working on a way to stop it. Miss. Fila, if you please change the energy frequency to where we need to go next?" Armor Stark responded off to say while he was chatting with someone on the com-link.
"I'm already doing so on my end of the Ground Bridge, something just pop in, maybe it's the staff. The energy readings are off the charts." Miss. Fila's voice was heard to explain something that she just got on her side while trying to work on it.
"Now I can guess something crazy happened here, so I'll be brief. World's about to end, & as much as I don't wanna endanger kids, someone believes you can help. So, if it's alright…will you help us?" Armor Stark stated off in being brief about this while wishing he didn't involve the RainBooms in this mess, but reality is…they are needed.
The RainBooms were almost speechless, they are needed for something far bigger then saving their school from zombies, Sirens, magical portal tears, heck even against the world's worse enemies. The fate of their entire planet is at stake, from a collision course from another planet. This was a lot to absorb, but the question remains…their final answer.
"I don't know, are you all in for this…after we just stop one major disaster?" Sunset asked with worry if her friends are ready to partake in something, after all that happened.
"Darling, are you joking me? If the world ends, so will fashion!" Rarity protest in dramatically stating the risk involved.
"Not to mention, no more sports & cool action movies & comics!" Rainbow Dash pointed out other stuff that they lose if the world ends.
"And food! What will we use for ingredients to make tasty treats!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed in knowing that's something they can't lose.
"And all the living creatures will have no home if the world is gone." Fluttershy stated with concerns of all living things besides humans, would lose something important.
"Well sugarcube, ye got de honest truth, we're in." Applejack smiled a bit to honestly say…they are in.
"Mom, I know you just went through a lot, but…" Ben turn to his mother to say something, but…
"Ben, as both a mother & a principle, I wouldn't allow it for my child or my student." Principle Celestia spoke in sounding a bit strict here until… "But I know that if the world ends, so will everyone's future. Just promise me, that you & everyone will be safe & come back to us." She smiled to hug Ben once more, asking he be careful when he leaves.
"Don't worry, they'll have some adult supervisors along to keep an eye on them." Armor Stark issued off to make sure all worries are put aside.
"Azure, you stay here to help everyone if that thing gets any closer to the camp." Pinkamena asked her large dragon friend to favor.
"Alright, be safe." Azure the Dragon nods off to say in knowing he must keep everyone safe if a problem would arise.
"Trust me, we can only try." Goldie stated in knowing this will be an event nobody in their sane mind thinks twice over.
"I'm coming too!" Nyx announced forth to not backing out either.
"Don't leave me behind!/Nor me!" Spike & Phobos issued off in not wanting to leave anyone behind.
"I managed to conquer my greatest fear, but that means nothing if everyone I care for is gone. Mister Stark, please…let us help." Twilight stated with renew determination, & wants to help…no matter what.
"Well said, alright, you kids, those from Strike Force & even the Autobots get ready." Armor Stark "Cause where we're going, is about to lead to a war with our very worlds at sake."
With that much said, the RainBooms along with a few friends of Nyx, Goldie, Pinkamena, Spike & Phobos tagging along, then members of Strike Force & the Autobots went through the active Ground Bridge before it vanished. Everyone watched them leave while looking at the distance, seeing a giant metal piece scrapping across a state wide & beyond like a shovel in the dirt crust. Everything fads out, as a new danger is over the horizon…
