Season 5: Beginning of the Invasion
Episode 4 (65): Remembering the Moments
It was night around Canterlot City, and Boco was walking towards the dojo. He looked at the building that used to be the arena where the Steam Team were testing their new powers. He entered and the lights were automatically turned on. In the center room, Hiro was meditating until he heard the door open. Boco approached Hiro and stayed there.
Hiro: Boco, I've been expecting you.
Boco: Sorry for coming on short notice, Hiro, I've had things to deal with, not just on Sodor but here on Canterlot.
Hiro: I understand, you've been watching the Mane 7 and Steam Team to see how they're doing.
Boco: Yes, I have, though I hate spying on them.
Hiro: I know you may not like it Boco, but we've got to make sure they stay strong. Have you spoken to Duke, Stephen, Skarloey and Scotsman?
Boco: I have, and they agree to see you when the time is right.
Hiro: Excellent, because I fear something bad might've happened to one of our dear friends.
Boco: Happened? How come.
Hiro: I can't really explain it, but I sense a great darkness upon us. We need the Mane 7 and Steam Team to be ready to face this threat. They're going to be in for a rocky ride but I know they'll succeed.
Boco: I believe you Hiro, besides you are the Master of the Railway after all.
Hiro: And I appreciate it. Now then, let's get this arena ready for our new arrivals, shall we Boco?
Boco: Yes, master.
In the next morning, the Steam Team and the Mane 7 were at the coffee shop, enjoying some breakfast.
Emily: Man, I'm beat from yesterday. You guys take your jobs real serious.
Rainbow Dash: Yeah, work can be a bit brutal, but we push through no matter the challenge.
Henry: I honestly don't mind the workload, heck, I'm used to it when I'm on Sodor.
Fluttershy: Oh yeah, we forgot you guys are part of a railway that is mostly work.
Applejack: You got that right sugarcube. These guys work harder than a cow milking on a Tuesday.
James: Umm, I wouldn't put it like that. But yeah, we work way harder than most people, ponies or engines.
Twilight Sparkle: You certainly do. Also, last I checked. Don't want to make it too personal, but it's been a couple of weeks since Thomas, you know what.
Edward: (Sighs) Yeah, it is a bit unfortunate, but at least he'll see what we all accomplished.
Gordon: I'll second that. But, at least he'll be proud.
Sunset Shimmer: Yeah, he would've wanted the best for us. Hey, speaking of jobs, how are you guys holding up.
Rebecca: I think we're pretty exhausted, but we can handle it.
Toby: Speaking of handling, how about our friends revealing that they crushes of their own.
Pinkie Pie: WHAT?! You guys got that too?
Rarity: Truth be told darling, we did see Arthur mention that he's buying a dress for his crush, Sunny Flare.
Twilight Sparkle: Whoa, that's a shocker right there. But I think those two will be happy together.
Nia: What about you Twilight, who did you see?
Twilight Sparkle: Well, I did see Rheneas mention of buying some streamlined goggles for Scootaloo.
Rainbow Dash: WHOA! Hold up, my Scootaloo dating Rheneas. I'll have a chat with her about this.
Spike: You're not thinking she'll continue dating Rheneas, don't ya.
Rainbow Dash: No I'll support her, just got to make sure she knows what she's getting into.
Fluttershy: Since we're talking about the CMC, I saw Peter Sam and Luke coming in for my help.
Percy: Well, what's that.
Fluttershy: Well, Peter Sam mentioned that he had a crush on Sweetie Belle and offered to get her a dog by the name of Pete.
Rarity: What?! Fluttershy, did I hear correctly that this Peter Sam is getting my Sweetie Belle a dog?! Didn't you remember my last dog encounter back at the festival, it made me muddy and covered in slobber.
Fluttershy: I understand your dislike for dogs Rarity, but this one is well-behaved and won't slobber you Rarity, trust me on this Rarity.
Rarity: (Sighs) Alright I trust you Fluttershy. Venting aside, I think Peter Sam is doing a really sweet thing on getting Sweetie a dog. He's so gentlemanly.
Gordon: Don't say that to Sir Handel otherwise he'll go on a tangent.
Fluttershy: I'll keep that in mind, also, Luke also had the same goal like Peter Sam, only this time, it's a snapping turtle for Apple Bloom.
Applejack: Wait a minute, a snapping turtle. Those buggers snap at anyone they can get to in their jaws.
Fluttershy: Technically yeah, but I saved that little guy from being roadkill and he's a well-mannered turtle, so he won't bite.
Applejack: Oh alright, I trust you to that. Speaking of your friends finding their crushes. I've just heard that Neville is taking Juniper to the movies.
Nia: Whoa, that's pretty impressive on Neville's part.
Sunset Shimmer: I'm actually happy for him. Now speaking of others, I've heard Ryan is attracted to Sour Sweet.
Rainbow Dash: Whoa, now that's an interesting combination. I never thought in a million years that our Sour will be attracted by Ryan.
Sunset Shimmer: Tell me about it, but that's not the funny part, I heard that Donald & Douglas are crushing on Lyra & Bon-Bon, and they were arguing on who they got. I think Donald has Lyra and Douglas has Bon-Bon.
Emily: Oh brother, with those two, there's bound to be some argument afoot.
Percy: Tell me about it, I'm surprised they can still stand up with each other. But now it's my turn, I noticed Charlie hooking up with this girl, Lemon Zest.
Twilight Sparkle: Okay, now that's a combination that's bound to happen. They're perfectly in sync, they are funny, energetic and are just perfect. Now, what's been going on with the rest of you.
Nia: Not much, but it's nice to see some of our other friends falling in love with others.
Sunset Shimmer: Tell me about it, love is in bloom. So, uhh, what else could we talk about?
Rebecca: I know one, why don't you guys reveal your best moments when dating your love.
Sunset Shimmer: Why don't we talk about this in my house, that way all of us are more comfortable.
Twilight Sparkle: I guess that's fair.
So they got out of the café and went to the bus stop, when Bertie arrived.
Bertie: Hey y'all, I've heard about Thomas not being with you guys no more, it's a shame. I wanted to race him more.
Gordon: Oh, you two just live for racing, but sometimes that racing can get you into trouble. Enough about me rambling, we need to get to Sunset's house.
Bertie: Don't worry, you can count on me, climb aboard.
So they got on the bus as he drove off to Sunset's house. When they arrived, they got off and entered. The group sat in the living room as Sunset grabbed Ray and put him on her shoulder.
Edward: So, where do we start.
Henry: Well, I guess I can go first. I remember the first time I was on my first date was when Fluttershy offered me to hike with her through the forest, from seeing the bunnies and deer, to taking pictures at the waterfall and around the valley. It was the most special, not only that but we have not one, but two special picnics. It was the most romantic time we had for each other.
Fluttershy: (Giggles) You said it Henry. (Kisses his cheek)
(It showed Fluttershy offering Henry to walk with her through a hiking in the forest, they see all things beautiful from bunnies to deer, the valley and even the waterfall where they took pictures of each other, even some of Henry's near slip. Then, the picnics they went on, first by themselves at night where they had their first kiss and another picnic with their animal friends)
Applejack: That's real sweet of you, Toby, how about you tell your partners about our dates, well technically, they're more like half-dates.
Toby: Well, I remember the time I had to help Applejack with duties around the farm and at the same time helping bring in supplies for our first ever game night. Around Applejack's birthday, Granny asked me to make sure the party runs smoothly, I was nervous about that yes, but I didn't let that bother me. With my friends, we managed to get the party all set up and even swoon her into one of my country songs.
Pinkie Pie: YEAH, I'M GONNA TAKE MY HORSE TO THE OLD TOWN ROAD, I'M GONNA RIDE TILL I CAN'T NO MORE. (Chuckles sheepishly) Sorry, couldn't resist.
Toby: (Chuckles) Anyway, I also helped in sending invitations to the people Applejack requested for the horse race. And to be honest, I had the most fun out of everyone I know.
(It showed Toby helping Applejack out around the farm and help bring in supplies when they did their first game night. When it's time for Applejack's birthday, Toby was put in charge by Granny to gather the materials and survey the party and make sure everything is perfect and singing a country song to start off the party and when they have the horse race, Applejack have Toby be in charge of handing out invitations to the people Applejack requested. And when the race was underway, Applejack and Toby had the time of their lives enjoying themselves)
Percy: Oh, you think your days are fun, I'll tell you some of my adventures. When I was having fun with Pinkie, I made a promise that I'll make a dinner that will knock the living socks off of her. Well, don't judge me, but it was a sweet-themed dinner. I'm not ready yet to take Pinkie to an exclusive restaurant. But I had fun orchestrated that with the help of some of my friends, especially Rosie. And Pinkie Pie was ecstatic as always. And when Pinkie offered to take me to the carnival, I went along with it and the two of us had a spectacular time. We all rode roller coasters, bumper cars, merry-go-round and did a bunch of arcade games, but the most special was the Ferris wheel where we had our first kiss. It was so special.
Pinkie Pie: You said it Percy-wercy. (Kisses his cheek)
(It showed the time Percy thought of an idea to impress Pinkie Pie, and that is a dessert and sweets dinner. At first, he thought it would be impossible but with the help of his friends, they manage to get the dinner set up and the two lovers were having a good time. When they went on their date for the carnival, they also had a good time as well, they placed a bunch of the carnival games, they went on the merry-go-round, bumper cars, roller coaster and finally, got their first kiss on the Ferris wheel)
James: I kinda figured you guys will be doing something like that. I, on the other hand have good tales to tell all of you.
Gordon: Oh brother, this is gonna take a while.
James: Oh, save your breath Gordon. Anyway, when I first encountered Rarity, I thought she was the most beautiful girl I've ever met. Her beauty and her elegance really made her striking. I thought that I had to impress and maybe, win a date with her. So, my first idea was the fashion show Thomas brought up. There I was, strutting my stuff and with my assistants and Rarity is the audience, shock, mesmerized and in awe. She loved it and she gave me a kiss on the cheek, I kept trying to win her over and most of the time I succeeded from roller skating with her, eating ice cream and even getting her that nice necklace. Man, I hit the jackpot.
Gordon: Oh, for Godred's sake, we don't need to hear you exaggerating and making your story too dramatic.
Rarity: Hush darling, this is getting to the good part.
Everyone snickered and giggled at Rarity shushing Gordon.
James: Anyway, back to the story, around the second date, I've been telling Rarity about how grand I was and been going nonstop, to try to impress which she does and I absolutely loved every bit of it. But it doesn't stop there, no-no, Rarity has gone the extra mile to even give me a gift that I never thought I would own, my brand new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray and she even sang me my song. God I love her so much.
Rarity: It's what I do to make my lovely Jamesy happier, and I loved every bit of it. (Kisses him)
Gordon: (Groans) This is too embarrassing, it's not even funny for you James.
James: You're just jealous that you never met a fabulous girl like Rarity, she's the living, breathing queen of all things beauty while you're stuck on the fast line.
Gordon: Why you little simple….
Rainbow Dash: Whoa there Gordon, cool your pistons. (Snickers) But he did get you there, but please try to simmer your temper alright.
Gordon: (Sighs) Alright.
(It showed the time James impressed Rarity when he did a fashion show for her and sang her song "Life is a Runway", which made Rarity awe-inspired and made her love for James be even more beautiful. Even the times when James and Rarity when they did roller skating and when they get ice cream. James gave Rarity a necklace to show how much he's done to impressing her so much. Around their second date, they enjoyed themselves talking amongst themselves and when Rarity went shopping to try to find a gift for James and she bought him his first car)
Gordon: Okay, now it's my turn. Me and Rainbow way back challenged each other to a race to see who's faster. And while she's asking people to join in, I on the other hand, have gone to get some chocolates and a new motorcycle for Rainbow, which she adored. The next time, we all went to a series of off-road races which was awesome, but it was nowhere near as awesome as the concert me, Connor, Gator and Flynn performed for Rainbow which she loved to an extreme. And finally, me and Rainbow Dash went around the town to try anyone worth saving, which we did and I even bought tickets to a race car event which made her ecstatic and the two of us enjoyed every bit of it.
Rainbow Dash: You said it Gordon my man. (Kisses his cheek)
(It showed the times Gordon has to go above and beyond to make Rainbow Dash happy. While Rainbow is handing out flyers for everyone that wants to watch the race, Gordon is getting chocolate and a new motorcycle, which made Rainbow really happy. Then, one time, Rainbow and Gordon were invited to an off-road rally from their old friend Lightning Dust, to which they participated in off-road races with an assortment of vehicles and later, Gordon, Gator, Flynn and Connor took part in the concert, singing the song "Speed Me Up" which Rainbow was ecstatic. They even got the time to save their friends with their awesome speed and they even had to be part in watching a car race for fundraising Camp Everfree)
Emily: Now that was awesome, you and Rainbow Dash really make a good couple. You guys have all the qualifications of a perfect speed couple.
Rainbow Dash: Ha, you said it Emily. Gordon is my main man and I can never replace him for anything.
Edward: We appreciate that Rainbow. So I guess it's my turn. Well, I did appreciate the sleepover that Twilight put together for all of us. She even took the time to show me her experiments and her lab where she does her work.
Twilight Sparkle: (Blushes) Aww, thanks Edward. You're just two sweet. (Kisses his cheek)
Edward: Thanks for that Twilight, next, Twilight invited me to the museum, where we see all these wonderful exhibits talking about Earth's history and even Equestrian events, probably from the pony world if I'm not guessing. It was amazing and I want to do it again sometime later on, maybe with all of us sometime. And the last thing is being an assistant to Twilight's tour of the planetarium, where we learned the planets, moons, stars, etc.
Twilight Sparkle: Oh yeah, that tour was on the best I've ever done in a long time and I'm glad you're here to help me out. I love you Edward. (Kisses his cheek)
Edward: (Chuckles) I love you too Twilight.
(It showed the time Twilight organized a sleepover with her friends, and took the time to show Edward her lab where she does her experiments and her work. When they went to the museum, they see all sorts of exhibits from natural disasters, big events and Equestrian history where at the end, they earned their first kiss. They even went to the planetarium to give their friends an educated tour on outer space and the rest of the universe)
Rebecca: That tour you told us was awesome, I wish I was there.
Nia: Same here, the tour of the universe sounds like an awesome one.
Twilight Sparkle: It sure is Nia. You would love it.
Percy: So, I guess that leaves, oh, he's not with us anymore.
Sunset Shimmer: Don't worry Percy, I'll speak on Thomas' behalf.
Emily: Are you sure Sunset? What if you start crying again bringing him up?
Sunset Shimmer: I'll try to manage Emily, besides if I do, you and Twilight would be the ones to comfort me.
Twilight Sparkle: We trust you Sunset.
Sunset Shimmer: Thanks you guys. (Sighs) Where to start, I mean I'll state the obvious, he's so incredible, sweet, funny, caring, brave and dare I say it handsome and daring. Perfect for a guy of his stature. Anyway, besides the cuteness, I really enjoy the times Thomas and I had with each other. My favorite moment is our first date we had, from going to the restaurant, seeing Titanic in the movies and going to the beach for a night stroll and we have our first kiss. (Sighs dreamily) I'll never forget that moment. But our date all around Sodor is the most romantic, seeing all the sights and seeing our friends. I also loved the party that Thomas and I went to and we had the time of our lives, partying, dancing, and playing next to PostCrush. It's the best, (Sniffles), but now that he's gone, I'm not going to enjoy all the good moments we shared. (Cries)
As she cried, she put her hands over her eyes. The others were sad to see Sunset cry, Twilight and Emily each brought an arm around her and Twilight held her hand tightly around Sunset's arm as she cries. Ray also rubbed his head against her head to help comfort her. But she was right about her time with Thomas.
(It showed the time Sunset and Thomas had their first date, they were chatting and having a good time in a restaurant, and when they see Titanic, Sunset and Thomas were enjoying, more so for Sunset since she kissed him on the cheek and snuggled up against Thomas. And then, the magic moment, their night stroll along the beach, confessing their love for each other and their first kiss. Then, around their second date, they visited Sodor to see the sights and enjoyed the view in some locations. And around the final date, they visited Vinyl at his party as they dance to the music, enjoyed food and even got to play with fellow band PostCrush)
Emily: It's okay Sunset, it's okay. We all miss him but we gotta stay strong.
Sunset Shimmer: (Sniffles) I know; I just miss him so much.
Edward: (Thoughts) Hmm, now I think it's time to tell them about that card Boco gave me.
Edward then got out of his seat and cleared his throat, just to get everyone's attention.
Edward: Umm, (Clears throat), now that I got you guys attention. How do I approach this? Umm, back at the mall Twilight, you said you saw Boco talking to me right.
Twilight Sparkle: Yeah, I did, why?
Edward: Well, not just that he wanted to talk to me to see how I was doing. Well, there's more to it. He gave me this, a card to Hiro's dojo.
James, Rainbow Dash, Sunset Shimmer & Pinkie Pie: WHAT?! WHAT?! WHAT?! WHAT?!
James: Okay, now you're pulling on our wheels, old-timer. Also, why are you holding onto that little secret.
Toby: Hey, take it easy James. I'm sure Edward has his reasons.
Edward: Thank you Toby, now the card that Boco gave me has directions to where his dojo is.
Sunset Shimmer: Are you sure you're right about this Edward?
Edward: Yes, I'm sure. Why?
Sunset Shimmer: Then take me there, I have a score to settle with Adagio for killing Thomas. She will know not to mess with me and get the beat down she deserves.
Twilight Sparkle: Uhh, Sunset, no offense, but Thomas doesn't want you to go down that dark path that you've been through. And I'm sure you don't want to do this. I know you wanted revenge, but sometimes it's never the answer.
Sunset Shimmer: (Sighs) Okay, sorry, I just hated Adagio after she did that.
Percy: We all hate Adagio now, and we certainly will sign up for this dojo.
Twilight Sparkle: Well before we do head over there, I got something special for you and Edward. I've been making these for when this might happen but I think you guys will like this.
She brought out two wrist blasters, two for Percy and for Edward. Percy & Edward's wrist blasters have a powerful bracelet latch underneath to not suffocate the wrist of oxygen. They have a small rectangular base connected with a gun barrel over the hand.
- Percy's wrist blasters have a black latch while the base is green with yellow circuitry on the sides and on the top but with his number 6, which is gold with white lining. The barrel is gunmetal grey, with green paint and thin gold stripes all around
- Edward's wrist blaster is the same but with different colors. The base is blue with red circuitry on the sides and on the top with his number 2, which is gold with white lining. The barrel is gunmetal grey, with blue paint and thin gold stripes all around
Percy and Edward were amazed by the blasters, as were the rest of them. But Gordon and James were not pleased by what they're seeing.
Gordon: Okay, now this is just preposterous.
James: How come Percy and Edward get to have weapons while we don't!
Edward: Well, if you know what a dojo even means, mostly they rely on weapons from ancient times, like spears, swords, axes and bows, they don't have guns and blasters around then.
Twilight Sparkle: That's right Edward, but these blasters I made have a few tricks in store. For one, they can slide off of their brace and can attach to your belt at the side of your waist, as you can see it's in its storage mode. But when you slide it back on its brace, the barrel extends out locked and loaded. The latch opens and closes when it's in contact with the wrist, and don't worry, it's not strong enough to sever your hand. And the latch is magnetic, cool huh.
Percy: Well, at least that's reassuring. Time to see if it works.
So Percy and Edward grabbed one of their blasters and when it's about to make contact, the latch comes together. Everyone was amazed by this.
Percy: Oh man, I look so sick with this on. If anyone were to give me trouble, I will aim at them and warn them about this nifty blaster.
Edward: True, but you can never be too careful with this kind of stuff, one slipup and it might cost you.
Percy: Fair enough.
Edward: And don't worry you two, I'm sure when we get to the dojo, you'll find a weapon of your liking or what Hiro suggests.
James: Yeah, yeah, we get it. But how are we gonna get to Hiro's dojo. We could take the bus Bertie drives, but that will lead to a breakdown eventually.
Pinkie Pie: I think we could take a different kind of bus to get to the dojo.
Henry: What bus are you talking about.
Rainbow Dash: Oh, I know what she's talking about. Follow us.
So the Steam Team and Mane 7 walked out as they head to where they need to be. Twilight gave Edward and Percy the other blasters on the journey. When they reach the parking lot of Canterlot High, the Steam Team see the bus that Pinkie Pie was talking about, their tour bus.
Pinkie Pie: This is the bus I was talking about you guys; this is our tour bus whenever we need to be anywhere for our concerts.
James: Convenient, I can see this be a combination of you Rainbooms and our band, the Steam Team. I call it Rainbooms Steam Team
They look to James with unconvinced looks.
James: Okay, the name needs work.
Sunset Shimmer: We'll worry about combo names later, right now, we need to get to that dojo. Whatever that place has in store for us, we need to be ready for it and we'll at least see Hiro again. Oh, and since Granny is back at you house AJ, I'll probably be the driver for right now.
Applejack: You sure about this Sunset, a bus is different from a car.
Sunset Shimmer: I'm sure of it, come on, time's wasting.
Percy: I'll have to agree with her, let's move.
So they all climbed into the bus and sat in the seats. The left row has Fluttershy and Henry at the back, Nia and Rebecca in the third seat, Percy and Pinkie in the second seat and Emily in the first. The right row has Toby and Applejack at the back, Twilight and Edward in the fourth seat, Gordon and Rainbow in the third seat, James and Rarity in the second seat and the first seat is for Thomas and Sunset. Sunset turned the key and drove the bus to the coordinates for Hiro's dojo.
Sunset Shimmer: (Thoughts) Hang in there Thomas, I'll avenge you.
