Magical Alien Summer EP 8: Movie Magic
Lighting and thunder crashes throughout the dark sky as a hooded, cloaked figure makes his way towards a volcano with 2 flaming, statues at the base. The man pulls of the hood to reveal his slicked, black hair with matching mustache and goatee. The man laughs manically as lighting flashes through the area. "It is almost time!" The man pulls out a golden scepter with a big ruby jewel at the top.
"Once I have all 3 relics, no one will be able to stop me! And Mareapol will fall. For I AM STARWART STALLONNNNN!" The man cries out, feeling like the world will be his with nothing that can ruined it. "WHOA, WHOA, WHOA!" "CUTTT!" The director calls in his megaphone looks at Rainbow Dash.
"Sorry, but at this point in the story, Stalwart Stallion would be known as Mojo." The teen points out as the other Rainbooms and Dan looks at her with mixed expressions. "What? You think he wants Daring Do fans to call him out for making a mistake like that?" Dan slaps his hand into his face. The director then spoke to the actor. "Let's go again. And this time, say "Mojo" instead of "Stalwart Stallion", 'kay? And action!" Rainbow Dash giggles in excrement as Dan rolls his eyes.
Intro:
A Galaxy is shown with some planets as outer space music is heard.
Just for a flash of green light to occur and shows the Omnitrix symbol with Dan's silhouette in the middle as the song picks up.
"It started when an alien device did what it did."
The 1st clip is Dan, discovering the Omnitrix as it latches onto his arm as he panics.
He then presses down on the dial as it transforms him into Heatblast as he cries out.
"And stuck itself upon his wrist with secrets that it hid."
"Now he's got superpowers, he's no ordinary kid. He's Dan 10! (Dan 10!)"
The logo flashes a bit, before showing off aliens:
Grey Matter, Overflow, Shock Rock, Heatblast, Tear-Wolf, Goop and Astrodactyl.
"So if you see him, you might be in for a big surprise."
"He'll turn into an alien before your very eyes!"
The boy is then shown transforming into Tear-Wolf as 6 more aliens appear and zooms in:
Goop, Shock Rock, XLR8, Humungousaur, Heatblast and Tear-Wolf.
" He's slimy, freaky, fast and strong, he's every shape and size."
"He's Dan 10! (Dan 10!)"
Just then, a flash-animated Dan is running towards the screen and then flips and morphs into Tear-Wolf.
He bites at the screen as a black and green '1'. appear next to him.
2: Humungousaur is next as he grins and slams his tail down, making a sonic blast.
3: Grey Matter leaps at the screen, only to go splat in a comic fashion.
4: XLR8 appears and zooms away.
"Armed with powers, he's on the case!"
"Fighting off evil from Earth or space!"
5: Upgrade wiggles his legs around as he raises his arms.
6: Shock Rock generates lots of power and blasted a large beam of blue energy across the screen.
7: Overflow flies upward on his water blasts.
8: Astrodactyl displays his whips and then rockets away on his jetpack.
"He'll never stop 'till he makes them pay!"
"'Cause he's the baddest kid to ever save the day!"
9: Goop emerges out of his puddle form and throws a long punch in the air.
10: Heatblast chucks a fireball at the screen as Dan himself lands on the ground with his fist, cracking it as he gives a big grin.
"Dan 10! (Dan 10! D-D-D-Dan! Dan 10! D-D-D-Dan!)"
Tear-Wolf is then shown leaping form some trees as he looks fierce.
Shock Rock poses as he finishes transforming.
Sunset and the Rainbooms are shown powering up into their magic forms.
Heatblast chucks a fireball.
Dan is then shown slapping down on the Omnitrix.
The Mane 6, Spike, the royal sisters, the royal crystal family, Discord, Starlight Glimmer, Trixie and reformed Changelings and Dan in griffon form stood together as they glare at an adversity as the Omnitrix boy just smirks with crossed arms.
Twilight is shown fight a giant bird monster as she uses her Geode's magic to slam it down on the ground.
Humungousaur roars out as he finishes transforming.
XLR8 is shown running on top of water.
The opening finishes up as the aliens all got sucked into the Omnitrix as Dan shows it while green rays came from it as the title appear next to him.
Dan 10: Magical Alien Summer.
Later, the gang was walking with the director through the studio. "I can't believe we're here!" Rainbow Dash said as Twilight thanks the man. "Thank you for letting us come here, Mr. Zoom!" "We promise that we won't get in the way… AGAIN." Sunset growls at Rainbow as she chuckles nervously. "As a fellow Camp Everfree Alumni, I was more then happy to afford the girls who helped saved it the chance to see our little film."
As Rainbow goes on about the movie, Dan tugs on Twilight's arm, making her lean as he whispers. "Remind me, why was I dragged to this place against my will, again?" "Your Aunts wanted you to get out of the house. We have been planning this trip for a while. And you're being punished by us for sneaking off to Equestria, when we told you not to, 3 days ago as part of your week grounding!" "…RIgggghhhhtttt."
"Uhh… there's a problem in wardrobe." A stage hand said to Canter Zoom as she approaches "They can't find the outfit Daring Do wears in the Nightclub scene." Canter Zoom facepalms in response as he rolls his eyes. "If we ever able to finish it, it will be. If you'll excuse me…" He then walks off to take of the problem.
"According to our visitors schedules, the next scene won't be for a while, which means we have time for-." "Get my photo taken with Chestnut Magnifico! The actress playing daring dooo!" Rarity squeaks out as Fluttershy adds in. "And get her to sing my petition for bring more bird feeders to Canterlot High!" The others stare at her in confusion as the animal lover explains. "It's just that Chestnut Magnifico is a member of a foundation that helps builds homes for animals" "Oh, okay. But I was thinking that we could—" "Check out all the sets?" Sunset interrupts Twilight as Applejack adds in. "I sure like to get a closer look at that volcano ." Dan rolls his eyes and looks off the side, but he noticed something and went to get a closer look at a poster.
Dan widens his eyes in awed as he gasps in shock at what he is seeing. "I guess we're all splitting up?" Twilight suggests as the others agreed. "OH MY GOSH!" the others looks at Dan as he was awed. "Umm… are you okay?" Rainbow asked as Dan responds. "I'm better than okay! In the studio across this one, they're going to film a special shoot of "Sumo Slammers 3-D: Kenko's vengeance!" At 5 pm! AND IT'S GOING TO START 3 HOURS! Hang on, special shoot! I'm coming for youaaahh!" Dan was stopped by Sunset grabbing his shirt and holding onto it.
"Sorry, Dan. We came here for Daring Do, not Sumo Slammers." "But! The shoot! It's exclusive! Sumo! Slammer! Never get a chance like this again!" Sunset shakes her head. "I'm sorry, Dan. But we don't have the time. Canter Zoom only allowed us to see this shoot and that's that. Besides, the movie will be out in 2 months, you can wait for that long."
Sunset drags the pouting Dan along with Applejack to see the sets as the others went off to do their own things.
The trio walks through the jungle set as the girls complements while the Boy sulks behind. "Hmm. Wonder how long it takes to build somethin' like this?" "Several weeks, I'd bet." Sunset responds. "So… If I promise to be back in time for the final scene of this movie, I can check out the Sumo Slammers one, right?" "Sorry, Dan but still no! We have been over this. We going to see Daring Do and that's final."
Dan looks at the poster of the movie in disgust. "I don't even like Daring Do! Everything about her reminds me of my sister, and she's a big nerd fan of the dumb book! It's not fair!" Sunset got angry at what he said as Applejack got concern. "FAIR?! Let me tell you something, Daniel Tennyson! Ever since the start of your vacation, your aunts and I with Twilight gets dragged to do stuff that you want to do! But we never get to do stuff that we want to do!"
"What about the time I went to Aunt Vera's?! That was never my idea!" Applejack adds in. "And yet, from what we've been told, you had a good time in the end." Dan crosses his arms and turns his back. Sunset sighs out as she explains. "Look, Dan. This is something we all want to do. So, just bear with it for once, okay?" She and the other teen walks of as Dan looks back at her.
After some thought, he sighs and follows them, only to step on something that makes a crunch sound. Looking down, he saw a crumbled candy bar wrapper. Picking it up, he wonders what's it doing on a set and shrugs, deciding to pocket it for later. As he ran to catch up, a shadow figure was watching from a pile of crates as a red glow came from it's wrist. It then disappears as it moves through the darkness.
Later, everyone reunited as they retake the shoot from before. As Rainbow was fangirling out, Dan got an idea and sneaks off. He went behind a pile of crates and made sure no one was around. "I'm sure a quick check on the Sumo Slammers Set wouldn't hurt, if Sunset wouldn't know. Besides with XLR8, I'll be back before Canter Zoom yells action." He slaps on XLR8's shadow, only instead of an alien that can go at hyper speed…
"Goop?! I know I should've asked Khyber for a Omnitrix manual before he left." He face palms as he grumbles in annoyance. "Maybe I can make this work." Just then, he heard a cracking sound coming from the shoot.
He peeks out to see the top part of the volcano was breaking off, crumbling until… SNAP The part was falling onto the actor as everyone gasp in shock. Goop quickly flews over and engulfs the man, using his projector to pull the both of them out of the way as the set crashes behind them. Goop releases the unarmed man, but he was disgusted by his slime covered self. "Uhh... Sorry. That usually comes off with a hot shower. But are you okay?" The man nods in response to the alien as he left. "Oh, Goop from the news! Thank you for saving my lead villain!" "But did it have to be so... Bleagh... disgusting?" Rarity whines in disgusts at Goops slimy nature. "No problem, it's what me and the others do best!" The alien responds as the director groans as the destroyed scene. "We just filmed on this volcano, and it was fine! This could set us back weeks!"
"THEY'RE GONE! THEY'RE ALL GONE!" Rainbow cries out in horror as she ran back to the others as Canter meekly questions. "What's gone?" Another teen girl that has blue hair in pigtails, red, call glasses and a purple jacket over a blue shirt with a darker skirt with white sock and purple shoes, came up as explains. "The relics are gone!" Everyone gasp in horror while Goops widens his eyes in surprise.
Later, after Goop "left" and Dan joins back up, the group were at the scene of the theft in a town stage as Rainbow explained. "I went to check them out again up close, and they weren't there!" "This can't be happening! What are we going to do?!" Dan doesn't understand the big deal about some 'relics' and voices it out. "What's the big deal? Just make some copies and be done with it. No one will notice the difference."
Canter explains to the kid as Juniper Montage looks worried. "You don't understand! We can't use new ones until A.K. Yearling has given them her official stamp of approval! You think it'd be easy to reach someone who is always holed up in her office, writing, but Miss Yearling is a very difficult woman to track down." The man grumbles out in frustration. Rainbow got worried at the news. "I-It'll be okay, though, right?" "Chestnut's contract with us is almost up, and with Mount Vehoovius collapsing, and now this, I fear we'll have to stop production altogether!" Canter answers as Rainbow got a shocked look.
"Well, if anyone need me, I'll be at the new Sumo Slammers movie!" Dan calls out and walks away. Sunset got an annoyed look and stomps her foot while pointing her finger at the spot next to her, all while not looking at him. The boy slouch in depression as he stands next to the teen. Twilight asks the director. "Are you sure there's nothing you can do to—." CRASH Something broke somewhere else, making Canter stress as he excuses himself. "I'm so sorry. Please excuse me." He walks off as Juniper gives a small smile and follows.
"Hmm... There was trouble with one of the costumes when we first arrived. A set that was fine yesterday just collapsed. And now, the most important props in the movie have been stolen. I don't think these are just coincidences" Twilight lists as she thinks about the incidents that has happened.
Sunset adds in to the mystery as well. "Me, neither. All the things that have gone wrong on set have put production on hold. It seems to me like someone is going to a lot of trouble to make sure this movie doesn't get made." They all look at Dan with suspicions. "Hey, It wasn't me, OK!? I may not like Daring Do, but I wouldn't risk other lives to cancel it!" "He does have a point. He's been with us all the time!" Spike points out as Fluttershy gasps in realization as she and Rarity got worried looks. "Oh dear! You don't think—?" "Oh, no-no-no-no. Certainly not!"
The others looks at them as they explain. "When Rarity and I followed Chestnut Magnifico to her trailer, we overheard her saying something about shutting down the movie..." "Yes, but she said she wanted something shutdown. We don't know that she was talking about the movie." "Maybe she's just really mad that they're always running out of her imported butter praline crunch bars." Pinkie adds in.
Dan's eyes widened at the words 'Crunch bar'. "Did you say, 'Crunch bars'? He asks as he digs through his pockets. "Yep, Bon Mot butter praline crunch bars!" Spike weakly mentions as he chuckles. "We, uh... may have tried a few ourselves. Heh." He pulls out the wrapper and unfolds it to see the exact words on the it. "Do the wrappers look like these?" "YEAH! That's the one!" Dan explains as he hands to Sunset while she inspects it. "When I was catching up with Sunset and Applejack, I found this on the jungle set. I thought it was junk, so I kept it to throw away later."
"Well, I'm glad you didn't. It sure seems like all signs are pointing to Chestnut Magnifico as the one causing all the problems around here." Twilight deduces. "I don't know who's behind this or what's going on, but the first thing we need to do is find those relics." Rainbow interrupts, wanting to save the movie more than solving who had done it. "I agree. The relics were here earlier, and if Chestnut is behind this, then they must still be around here somewhere." Rarity defends her idol with a snooty remark. "Chestnut Magnifico is an acclaimed actress! She'd never do something so dramatic!" Dan rolls his eyes at her. "This is coming from 'Ms. Drama Queen every day', herself?"
"Well, she might do somethin' like this if she was tryin' to get out of workin' on a movie she didn't want to do." Applejack said as Sunset suggest to divide. "Why don't Fluttershy, Pinkie, Spike, and I follow Chestnut Magnifico and see if we can find anything out?" "Let's do it!" After Sunset and her group walks off, Twilight and her group tries to figure out a plan. "In the meantime, we should look for the relics." "Where do we even start? It's not like there's some mysterious, thievin', cloaked figure we can chase after and say, "Hey, tell us where you're keepin' the relics!"
As Dan looks of to the side, he saw a cloaked, hooded figure tiptoeing past them. He frowns and starts running towards her as Rarity points out, making the others look as well. "You mean like the one Daniel is running towards?" The figure saw the boy heading straight towards her and makes a break for it with the kid hot on her tail. "HEY! GET BACK HERE!"
"You heard him!" Rainbow activates he geode and dashes off, living the others with frizzled hair and chases after her, all while the other shadow figure watches from a rooftop and moves as well.
Dan kept running after the figure while Rainbow tries to keep up, but got lost as she keeps zipping all over the place. Dan was starting to lose the figure as she smirks. Dan tries dialing in his watch for some alien help. "Come on! I need some speed here!" The watch is still charging from Goop, much to his dismay. "Fine! I'll do it myself."
Rainbow came to a stop as the others catch up and starts painting from the long chase. The athlete is angry at losing the prep. "I can't believe I lost them! My geode gives me super speed, but I guess being awesomely fast doesn't help when the person you're chasing knows their way around better than you do." Sunset and others reunites with as she greets.
"Hey, guys." "Any luck findin' Chestnut?" The cowgirl questions. "We couldn't find her." "But we did find a cupcake fountain!" Pinkie blurts out as she chomps down the sweet. "Then we got lost and somehow ended up here. What have you guys been doing?" Rainbow responds back. "We spotted this super-suspicious cloaked figure, but they got away! They're here somewhere. Hopefully, Dan caught him by now." As by cue, Dan ran up to the girls and places his hand on his knees, panting from exhaustion. "I lost her… And just when I was about to grab her, too…"
"There you are!" The group turns to see a nervous P.A. talking to them. "W-Where are your costumes? We've got to hurry! I-I-I'm so gonna be fired if you aren't ready. The director wants to shoot in three minutes!" The man pushes the girls and the puppy away.
The girls stumbled onto a street set, most of them don in superhero jumpsuits while Sunset's looks like a villain type and Spike has a mask, front boots and a cape with a belt. "Uh, I think there's been some kind of mistake." Applejack calls out in confusion. The director was confused by the group's appearance. "Wait, wait! Who are these girls?" "They're the Power Ponies!" The director rubs his fingers against his forehead in regard of his P.A.'s idiocy. "I'm fired, aren't I?" "So fired."
Dan, off set, saw the shadow again and chases after her. "HEY! You get back here, buster!" The girls saw them and follow after them, briefly getting stuck in a small space. The boy chased the figure as he notices the watch was recharged. "Okay!" He activates it, selecting Fasttrack as he holds his hand up. "Let's try this one more time. Come on, XLR8!" FLASH
The figure slides a corner as Heatblast tumbles into a prop and stands up. "Ugg… If you're not going to give me the ones I want, why do you have a dial in the first place?!" Heatblast rockets upward as the girls started to catch up.
But as they all passed an open sound stage, a bunch of vines grabs the Rainbooms and drags them inside while slamming the door shut. "Twilight? Fluttershy?" Spike questions as he looks behind him. "Spike!" The dog turns to see Juniper Montage approaching him and picking her up. "Why are you all alone?" "The girls vanished! One minute, we're chasing a cloaked figure. And the next, they were gone!" "Hmm… weird. Don't worry! I know a lot about this place and have the keys! Let's see if we can find them together." The both walk off as Heatblast walks out of a corner, looking confused. "I think she went down this way! Or is it that way?"
The girls were coming to when they noticed they were in a hedge maze set. "Huh?! How in thunderation did we get in here?!" Applejacks yells out as the others looks confused. "I'm not sure, but let's find a way out so we can catch the thief!" Rainbow calls out as they went down one way.
After a few twists and turns, they found themselves lost. "Ah, Candy Corn! We're lost!" Pinkie cries out as Sunset reassures them. "No way! There has to be a way out." "NEVER GET OUT! ONLY DEAD ENDS!" The girls flinched from the voice that appeared out of nowhere. "What in heaven's name was that?!" Rarity cries out as Fluttershy was shaking like a leaf. "A g-g-g-g-g-ghost?" Pinkie grabs her as her teeth charted in terror. "Now, now. I'm sure there's a reason for the voice. It could a speaker or…" As they look around, they saw a tall figure in the shadows staring at them with a red eye.
"THE GHOST! RUNNNNNNNN!" Pinkie cries out as they all bolt down another path as the figure merge with the bush walls. As the girls kept running, they dodge thorny vines that attacks them from the side. "It is a ghost! Oh man!" Rainbow cries out as Fluttershy was on the edge of a panic attack. "Oh, dear! Oh, dear! Oh, dear! Oh, dear! Oh, dear!"
Twilight call out. "Relax! It's probably special effects or an animatronic or an actor!" The figure emerges from the ground in front of them. The girls bumped into him and backs up, looking at the figure in terror.
It is a plant-like humanoid with bulgy arms and legs, tall as Swampfire, with three spikes on each of his arms. It has 4 thorn-covered vines that are on his back like a cape. His eye is red with vines that covered his head, except his black face, like a helmet and 4 flaps around him like a collar. He has orange segmented limbs and color scheme of an aged plant.
But Sunset's eyes widened at the red and white belt that adores his waist. Her eyes fixed on a familiar dial buckle she hasn't seen since New York, and there is only one person that has the familiar red color look of the Omnitrix… "AARON LEVIN?! How did you find us?!"
The others were confused at what their friend just said. "Wait! Sunset, do you know this guy?" Rainbow asked. "Well, I'm glad that it's not a ghost." Rarity sighs out, relived with not dealing with a specter. "Poor little Rainbooms! Running from ghosts. But what you should be running from…" His back vines lashed out and coils around the girls waists and arms, Sunset in one while the others as 2, and lifts them up. "…is me!" The plant alien leans with his hands on his hips. "Wait a minute… Who is that alien?!" Twilight calls out. "It's Thornblade, thank you very much." "Girls, this is Aaron Levin. He's someone that was able to make a device that allows him to turn into aliens, just like the ones on the news."
She adds in as she glares at the plant. "Except his are evil, nasty versions. Like evil twins. He even has aliens, never been seen before." Thornblade crosses his arms. "Yeah, so what? My aliens are originals! I'm trying to see if the mighty Rainbooms are a match for me, which I doubt." "Oh, yeah? Why don't you puts us down so we can turned you into chopped salad?!" Rainbow cries out as struggles. "Please... You girls rely on those stupid necklaces for powers! I, on the other hand have powers that are 11 times better than yours."
"Oh, really!? How about you let us down and I'll show you what we can do, you yellow-bellied varmint!" "Pretty big talk coming from a dumb cowgirl." Thornblade smirks as Applejack's face grew red in anger as she growls. "Umm... Mr. Levin, sire? Can you, ummm, let us down, pretty please? But if you don't want to, that's okay." Fluttershy mumbles out as the alien just stares at the girl. "Wow... You got to be the biggest doormat I've ever seen."
"Hey! You can't talk to Fluttershy like that, you big meanie pants bully!" Pinkie yells out as Sunset points out. "Don't bother, he won't let us down because he's too scared to fight us." "Oh, really?! Sounds like you're asking for a demonstration!" He then lashes his fingers out, engulfing all of them in thorny cocoons.
But just then, a purple glow came from Twilight's cocoon as a burst of purple energy frees her as well as the others, making Thornblade steps back in shock. "WHAT?!" "Sorry, Aaron! But you forgot about my Geode!" She then lifts and tosses the plant over a wall with her telekinesis.
"Great job, Twi!" Applejack said as she, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie went to pull the wall apart, unaware of a brief red glow on the other side. They did that as Pinkie cries out. "HA! GOT YOU!" Only for them to briefly widens their eyes before a stream of slime, colored water pushed them into a wall. The stream dies down as the 3 spits the liquid out while others checked on them. "Are you okay?!" Fluttershy asked as Pinkie responds. "I think we're okay." "But what was that?" Applejack as the girls heard a foot step and turns to see someone that looks familiar. "Is that Overflow?!" Rainbow cries out in shock. "I don't do Overflow, I go Undertow!"
Aaron, now an alien that resembles Overflow, only his is a gray and blue metallic alien. He has two tubes that extend from his head to his shoulders as well as 2 on his back that connects to his elbows and has black mask-like markings around his red eyes. He has two tubes of green slime reaching from a respirator where his mouth should be to his chest, which has a circle plate that has 4 tubes, 2 on each side, connected to it around the body while the Darktrix symbol resides on it, and his forearms are filled have canisters filled with green slime and are cannon like. He has a black and grey mohawk device with 3 red lights on front and back. He has 4 black claws around a hole in the end of the arms and three black toes on each foot.
"Wait a minute, how did you get from one alien transformation to another, so quickly?!" Sunset cries out in shock. "Because i don't need to wait." He slams his arms into the ground, making slime travels through the ground towards the girls, turning the dirt into mud.
"GAAAHH! MUD!" Rarity shrieks out as they started to sink. "Undertow is so not cool!" Rainbow cries out as they struggled. "Says the ladies trapped in the mud." Twilight activates her powers and lifts everyone to safety. The alien starts heading down a path while crying out. "Let's see if you can match your brain with mine, Twilight!" "After him!" The brainy female cries out as they chased him down. They saw a brief glow of red light and follows it, stopping at a corridor to see a small frog, like alien poking his head around the corner and retreating. "He chose Grey Matter? This will be easy!" Sunset said as they approaches.
Twilight comments. "Sure, Grey Matter is smarter than me, that I'm willing to admit, but we're bigger than him, giving us a huge advantage." "I just hope we don't hurt him. I always like Grey Matter and Tear-Wolf. They are just so adorable!" Fluttershy gushes as Rainbow deadpans. "Yeah… Fluttershy's animal obsession aside, we totally got this!" "You know, Aaron! If you're going to use another alien, how about picking something bigger then…" Pinkie trails off as they turn to see something that looks like it came out of a horror movie. "Grey Matter?" she squeaks out as they all got terrified looks.
"Dark Matter." Grey Matter's twin is a red skinned, frog/demon-like, bipedal alien that is significantly taller than Grey Matter, rivaling Tear-wolf in height. His limbs and fingers are long and slender, with his fingers having claws. Unlike Grey Matter's feet, he has two front toes and one back toe on each foot, which are also pointy. He has large glowing red eyes with minus-shaped pupils and black outlines. On his head are two horn-like growths while his neck sports his gills.
He is wearing a black, sleeveless jumpsuit with a red belt on his waist. He has red leggings and black, long fingerless gloves that goes to his elbows with red on the ending and finger holes. He lastly has a grey armored vest over the suit with 2 black strips that goes around the middle of his chest. The Darktrix symbol resides on his chest.
But the thing that freaks the girls is the fact that he rises like he has no bones in his body "Okay, that is going to give me nightmares, I'm sure of it." Applejack comments as Fluttershy Squeaks out. "That is not cute, at all." "Jeez, how did he get so freakishly tall?!" "Freaky-Deaky!" Pinkie cries out to Sunset's comments. "It doesn't matter! Pardon the pun. He's still weak!" Rainbow cries out as she charges at him to throw a punch. Only for Dark Matter to use his weak balance to his advantage, kicking Rainbow and grabbing her leg, spinning and tossing her towards Fluttershy, Pinkie and Rarity. The both tumbled into a hedge wall and got stuck as Applejack takes a crack at him.
Dark Matter merely kicks her and sends the cow girl into the 2 magic experts, trapping them in the hedge wall with the others. As they all struggles to break free, Dark Matter crawls in front of them and stands up, looking at them with amusement with his arms behind his back. "How do you keep switching aliens?!" Sunset cries out. "This is not right and unfair, you fiend!" Rarity cries out as they all glare at him. "'Unfair'? I never had a problem like that before! Maybe that only happens to… LOSERS!" The mutant alien insults, making some of them growls out.
Applejack struggles and broke free, upper cutting Dark Matter thanks to her farm strength. They all got out and looks up to see the alien somersaulting and dives towards them with a red fireball in his claw. "That's a new trick." Sunset comments in shock.
FLASH All the girls closes their eyes, fearing the worst. But they felt nothing as they looks around, not seeing anything wrong. "Whew! That was close!" Applejack wipes sweat from her forehead in relief as Fluttershy comments. "I don't understand, is something is supposed to happen?" "Whatever it is, it didn't work." Twilight adds in. Rainbow Dash grins and tells them. "I'll tell you what happened: That guy totally missed—" Just then, they heard something from the ground, looking down only to be shocked as red crystal starts covering their bodies to here chests, trapping their arms.
"GAAHH! What is this hideous abomination!?" Rarity cries out as Applejack struggles. "Whatever it is, I can't break free!" "I think this what that fireball does!" Twilight cries out. "Gee… and here I thought the Rainbooms are a challenge." Dark Matter commits as he brushes his claw against Fluttershy, making her shivered in fear, as he twirls and stumbles around them as the girls looks worry.
"Face it, ladies. My aliens outclass your magic, any day. You all can't even compete with me!" The mutant alien points out as the girls looks scared. Just then, his Darktrix symbol starts beeping and flashing purple, but Dark Matter didn't notice, making Sunset smirks. "Really? What don't you tell us more? You know, brag about how great you and your aliens are before destroying us?" Dark Matter preps another fireball as he responds.
"Or maybe I can make this quick?" Just as he was about to throw it, he times out as Aaron stumbles onto the ground and got up, rubbing his head. Twilight caught on as she smirks as well. "You know the difference between our powers and yours, Aaron? Ours aren't on a time limit!"
Aaron hightails out to the exit of the maze as Twilight busts free with her magic and got to work freeing the others. Aaron opens the giant doors and ran through, heading into the lot as he tries to lost the girls. He heads down a turn as the girls got out as well. "WHERE IS THAT VARMINT?! I LIKE TO HOGTIE HIM GOOD FOR WHAT HE TRIED TO DO!" Applejack yells out as Rainbow adds in. "Leave some for us, AJ! I want to get a few punches in as well!"
The girls went off to one direction as Aaron watches, sighing in relief as he starts heading another way, only to bump into Dan. "Ow! Sorry, didn't—" He gasps in shock at seeing the teen. "AARON?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" "Umm… here for the tour?"
Dan didn't buy it. "OK, Aaron! It's time to get real answers and eat Chill Fries! And I'm all out of Chill Fries!" The teen sweat drops at the kid's liner. "Okay, 2 things: 1. That's not how the phrase goes. 2. You're forgetting that I'm bigger then you." Aaron towers over with a grin as Dan sweats in fear. "Older then you. Smarter then you. Tougher then you. And stronger then you!" He shoves the boy down as he cracks his knuckles.
"And braver! I'm not scared of anything!" But suddenly, an nearby dragon prop roars out, making the 2 boys scream in terror as they ran off into different directions. Aaron stops and realizes that he lost. He also notice his watch was charged. "Forgot that! I came here to see if the Rainbooms are tough, and I'm disappointed! Dan's my only rival from now on!" He then slaps the watch, turning back into Thornblade. "We'll settle this once and for all, Tennyson! Someday!" He tunnels underground, heading out of the movie studio lot and away into the city.
Dan ran screaming into a room in another set, stopping and catching his breath. "Okay…. I think I lost the dragon! But I lost Aaron! How did he get here form New York, is the bigger question." He then notice that he was in a creepy closet. "And why did I ran into a dark, spooky closet instead of the Daring Do set?!" He explores the dark room.
He kept searching through the things, looking of his shoulder in fear. He looks up to see… "AAHH!" He stumbles backward, only to calm down to realize it was a monster outfit. "Great. Now I'm scared of cheap costumes." As he rolls his eyes in annoyance, he noticed an open locker that has something in it.
Curious, he opens and pulls out an Indian dress that looks familiar to him, unaware of the cloaked figure sneaking out of the room. "Hu… this dress looks familiar. I think I seen it before, but where…" Just then, he notice the figure was closing the door.
"HEY!" He tries to open the doors, but they wouldn't budge. After a while, he stops and steps back, trying to think of a way when he looks down, noticing a certain device on his arm. "Of, course!" He activates the Omnitrix, scrolling towards Upgrade's icon. "I'll just go Upgrade and ooze through the door! I'm a genius!"
He was about to slap on it when he thought of something. "Then again, the Omnitrix hasn't been giving me the right alien, so far." He snaps his fingers and twists the dial. "But if I select, say, Tear-wolf! Then the watch will give me Upgrade! Let's see you try to mess this up!" FLASH
The doors bashed open as Tear-wolf stomps out. He looks at himself in shock. He looks at himself in shock. "WHAT THE?! This is not even funny anymore. I'm starting think the watch does this to get some kicks." Tear-wolf groans out. "Oh… FINE! I'll go with Tear-wolf for now! Better take the dumb dress, still trying to figure out where it came from." He picks up the dress and starts running towards the Daring Do set.
Tear-wolf leaps from the roofs to the set of Daring Do, but halfway to it, he saw the sound stage that contains the Sumo Slammer Movie. "WHOA! The Sumo Slammer Movie! Now that's something I got has got to see!" He lands in front and was about to enter when he saw that there were 30 mins left before the beginning of the shoot.
He then looks down at the dress and back at the Daring Do set. "But… I need to get the dress back. But the Sumo Slammers Movie!" He kept looking back and forth, unsure on what to do. "Sumo Slammers? Daring Do? Sumo Slammers? Daring Do? Sumo Slammers? Daring Do? Sumo Slammers? Daring Do? GRRR… I CAN'T MAKE A CHOICE!" He screams out.
He then shakes his head, the human inside of him trying to get control. He then looks at the movie of his dream in sorrow and looks down at the Omnitrix as it beeps. "I knows what to do." He then hides behind something as he times out. Dan walks out and looks back at the set in sadness. "Sorry, Sumo Slammers. It's just wasn't meant to be." He then walks to the Daring Do set.
After reuniting with the others and presenting the dress, to which Rainbow explains it was the missing dress that was part of the movie, they gave it to Canter Zoom, who is along Juniper Montage and Chestnut Magnifico.
"You found this in a supply closet?" "We didn't find the relics. But we don't think the thief has had a chance to take them off the lot yet. We wanted your permission to search the Tricorners Village set from top to bottom. Maybe we'll find a clue that would lead us to where they're hidden." Twilight asks as Pinkie keeps popping up around the place with a magnifying glass as Dan watches in confusion.
Canter answers as he asks Chestnut. "Of course. Chestnut, I need you to get into hair and makeup. As soon as we get the relics, we're gonna start shooting again." "Hmmph. We'll see." Juniper was about to leave when her uncle. "Juniper, can you do a smoothie run? I'm sure all this sleuthing is gonna make everyone thirsty." "Absolutely!"
The shadow figure was sneaking towards a box on the village set. She grabs the missing relics and was about to leave when… GRAB "Not so fast, Juniper!" The figure, now revealing to be Juniper Montage, was grabbed by Humungousaur. He lifts her up while pinning her arms as the relics fell to the floor with a clatter of noise. She struggles to get out, but was pinned with her arms.
"I told you all it wasn't Chestnut " Rarity smugly said as the rest of the girls came out and narrows their eyes at her as Canter was shocked. "Look! I found the missing relics!" "Because you're the one who stole them in the first place!" The Dino shot back. "She... She wouldn't."
Twilight explains as she imaged how Juniper did it. "She would. And she did. What she didn't expect was for Rainbow Dash to come to the Tricorners set before she was able to sneak them off to a safer hiding place. So she was forced to hide them in the first place she could find. But she knew she couldn't leave them there. So the first chance she got, she tried to sneak them away. Unfortunately for her, we spotted her! But Juniper knows 'every inch of this place like the back of her hand'. And managed to lose us! But Dan was able to find the dress in the closet and locks him inside with a set of keys that gives her access to "just about every door in this place", which gave her the time she needed to hide the relics here."
Rainbow scoffs out. "When did you figure out it was her?" "I started to piece things together when Dan said that he was locked from the outside. But I knew Juniper would never admit she was the one who had taken the relics." "Unless, of course, she was caught in the act of trying to move them again!" Sunset smugly adds in.
"Which is why I told you to send her on that smoothie run. So she'd think she had the opportunity to get the relics off the lot where we'd never find them." Twilight said to the man as Juniper sadly adds in. "But instead of searching the Tricorners set, you all were secretly following me here." "And get me to catch you!" Humungousaur adds in.
"Why would you do this?" Canter asked as he was hurt from the betrayal as Juniper answers. "I'm sorry! Okay? I'm sorry. I just can't stand Chestnut! She's always eating all the peanut butter praline crunch bars, which are the only candy bars I like." Pinkie eat said bar in question as Canter rubs his forehead. "That's hardly reason to go—" "And I was mad at you for casting her as Daring Do! I mean, I have told you over and over again how badly I wanted to play Daring Do, and you just ignored me!" She angrily adds in as the alien raises an eye in question while Canter explains. "But, Juniper, you're too young! You don't have any experience."
"I know! But I thought if enough things went wrong, Chestnut would maybe back out of the movie and then... you would give me a chance." "Seriously?" They turns towards Humungousaur as he lists off with his other hand. "You threatened innocent people. You almost got the movie canceled. You stole from the studio. And you lied to your family, just to be a movie star?!"
Juniper looks guilty as she explains. "I'm sorry. I never meant to hurt anyone, and I was going to return all the props, just as soon as Chestnut quit. I even helped that Dan boy" "What are you talking about?" Applejack asked as the culprit explains.
"Well, I was about to do a quick check before moving the relics…"
[FLASHBACK]
Juniper had finished getting into her thief outfit and pulls the hood when she herd something. She peeks out of a rack of outfits to see Aaron standing over Dan. "I saw this kid named Aaron was about to pick on him." The teen shoves the boy down as he cracks his knuckles. Juniper glares at the older boy and looks around, noticing a nearby dragon prop with a remote for it nearby. She then gained an idea.
She grabs the remote and found the roar button. She then overheard about Aaron's last words. "'Not afraid of anything', huh?" "So, I decide to give him a taste of his own medicine." She pushes the button, making the dragon roar and scaring the boys as she watches in concern at the young kid running off. "Unfortunately, it worked too great and scared Dan off as well."
[FLASHBACK]
"I was planning on letting Dan out of the closet after I hide the relics again! But he managed to escape, and well, we're all here." "Juniper, I'm happy that you helped someone stand up to a bully, but it doesn't change the fact that you still lied to me! I can forgive you cause your family, but not for a while." Canter said as Humungousaur sets her down.
The man then snaps his finger, making a security guard appear and grabs her by her shoulder as she looks downcast. "You're no longer welcome on the set, and it'll be a long time before I consider allowing you back here! Keys!" She hands the ring to him and is escorted out.
But just before she left, she looks over her shoulder and glares at the Rainbooms, growling as Humungousaur waves at her with a smirk. "Don't forget to write." She left the building as Chestnut appears.
Just then, Humungousaur's symbol beeps, making him cries out. "Sorry! Got to dash! My work here is done." He left as fast as he could, making the others look at each other. "Those aliens are realllyyyy weird." Pinkie comment and then munches on a candy bar.
After some clearing up, the crew was getting ready to shoot as Chestnut gets prepped in her costume while the girls gets prepared. Dan was by Canter as he commits. "You know, if Juniper really done all that just to be a star, I'm glade that I'm just a regular kid." "I know! Hopefully, this will help her learn her lesson. Are you sure you don't want to be part of the movie?" The man offer as Dan waves his hands.
"Sorry! Like I said, Daring Do isn't my thing." He then looks at the Sumo Slammers poster in sadness. Canter saw the poster and smiles. "You know, I do want you to have something. Here." He takes out and gives a yellow pass to the boy as he reads it, only to be shocked by it.
"A VIP Pass to the Sumo Slammers Movie Shoot?! But how did you get this?!" "Me and the director for that film are buddies! He owed me a favor so, I pulled a few strings to get it. Why don't you go on ahead. It's going to start in a few minutes." He winks at him as the boy grins and darts out. "THANKS!"
Dan dashes out of the set and heads to the other, unaware he was being watched by Juniper as she is being escorted out. She saw the Omnitrix's symbol and puts 2 and 2 together, recognizing it as they from the news and on Humungousaur. She glares at the boy as she whispers. "I will get you for this, Dan Tennyson!"
The boy shows his pass to the guards and is let inside, grinning from ear to ear as he yells out "IT'S SLAMMER TIME!"
