Season 5: Beginning of the Invasion
Episode 5 (66): Danger over the Horizon
In the dark dimension, Midnight and Nemesis Thomas were at the shrine. Thomas powered up his dark gold dust as it swirled around him igniting his transformation. It finally showed his human form.
- Nemesis Thomas' human form is the same as Thomas, but his hair is jet black, his skin color is the same, his jacket has navy blue, blood red around the inside of the hoodie, bottom and cuffs, and dark gold for his number, his pants remain the same but his shoes carry blood red and the white is replaced by gunmetal grey
He looked at Midnight Sparkle in his purple eyes and then went down on one knee as he bowed to her.
Nemesis Thomas: I live to serve you, Lord Midnight.
Midnight Sparkle: Lord huh, (Chuckles evilly), I like the sound of that. So Nemesis Thomas, do you accept your new mission?
Nemesis Thomas: I do, find the staff and bring it here. If anyone were to stand in our way of our mission, they will meet a swift death by my hands.
Midnight Sparkle: Well now, you're quick to jump into action. But let's let our enemies get ahead for a while and then the fun can really begin.
Nemesis Thomas: Very well, I'll do as you command.
Midnight Sparkle: Excellent, now one of my prized minions will be bringing you a weapon of great power that will help take out the competition.
They looked to see a shadow minion come in with a large knight sword in his hands
- The knight sword (Nemesis Thomas) has a navy blue hilt with the handle being black having dark red thin stripes spiraling down, the center has a dark gold jewel and the blade is gunmetal grey with red veins running it
Minion: Your sword, Nemesis Thomas.
He eyed the sword and with his hand, he grabbed it and eyed the blade as he brought it out.
Nemesis Thomas: Hmm, this will do nicely. My enemies will fear the wrath of my blade when they see it's destructive power firsthand.
Midnight Sparkle: I like you already my loyal soldier. But if you're going back to Canterlot, you're gonna need something to conceal your identity.
She powered up her hand and brought over an old, ragged cloak.
Midnight Sparkle: This cloak will help you conceal your identity from any prying eyes. And when you do advance, you can take it off so that your enemies can see who you are.
He grabbed the cloak and observes it.
Nemesis Thomas: Very well, shall I continue your mission Midnight Sparkle.
Midnight Sparkle: In due time, right now, we need to train you so when the time is right, you'll be ready.
Nemesis nodded to Midnight, knowing he needs training to master his new dark powers. Meanwhile, back in Canterlot, the Mane 7 and Steam Team are traveling in their tour bus to Hiro's dojo. They managed to stop for a snack break.
Sunset Shimmer: If we're going to Hiro's dojo, we're gonna need to keep our energy up. That's why I packed these before our little trip, we're gonna be over there for a while.
Gordon: Edward, out of curiosity, how in the world did Hiro afford a dojo.
Edward: From what I heard, I think he took the arena that we used to train our powers and converted it into a dojo.
Twilight Sparkle: Man, Hiro has a good taste when it comes to martial arts buildings.
Sunset Shimmer: Sure looks like it, but right now, let's get our energy back up. We got a journey ahead of us.
Sunset opened her bag and it has apples, orange & apple juice, potato chips, trail mix, sandwiches and granola bars. They each grabbed one of each as they chow down.
Percy: So, if we go into his dojo, what should we expect?
James: Well, knowing Hiro, he's the Master of the Railway. And what is a master to, his students. He's bound to have some Kung Fu or some martial arts training in store.
Rebecca: Plus, he is old and wise, so he's technically a sensei, if you think of it.
Applejack: You got that right sugarcube. If we're gonna avenge Thomas, we need to do this. Get some training and learn a few new fighting styles.
Rainbow Dash: You said it Applejack.
Henry: Still, I know we might need this training, but I just don't know how well we'll do it.
Fluttershy: I know you're nervous Henry, so am I and the rest of us, but we'll push through it together. Don't worry Henry, you have nothing to fear. (Kisses his cheek)
Toby: Fluttershy's right Henry, we got to be ready for whatever Hiro has in store for us. No matter the challenge.
Emily: Wise words Toby.
Twilight Sparkle: So, are we ready to head over there.
James, Rebecca, Henry, Percy, Edward, Gordon, Emily, Toby & Nia: We're ready! We're ready! We're ready! We're ready! We're ready! We're ready! We're ready!
Rarity: Well, I guess that's settled then. Onwards to Hiro's dojo!
Pinkie Pie: ROAD TRIP!
Spike: (Panting) Oh boy, I can't wait. I wonder if they teach martial arts for dogs.
Percy: (Giggles) Now that would be amazing.
So Sunset got back in the driving seat and started up the bus, as they continue their journey to Hiro's dojo. When they get there, they rolled to the parking lot and stopped. They got out of the bus and looked at the dojo.
Rainbow Dash: (Whistles) Your Hiro buddy has really outdone himself, changing the arena into a dojo.
Sunset Shimmer: You said it Dash, let's see what this place has to offer.
So they walked towards the dojo as they enter. When they're inside, it was slightly dark as they explore the place. As they were exploring, a smoke bomb was thrown and exploded. They coughed as they try to get the smoke out, once they did, it showed four figures, one being the tallest, another being the second tallest, another being the third tallest and one being the smallest.
Figure #1 (Second tallest): You've come a long way from where you came from.
Figure #2 (Smallest): A bit brash when you think about it.
Figure #3 (Tallest): Yes, quite, why don't we show them the way out shall we lads.
James: Hey, you can't tell us what to do! We came here to seek help from Hiro.
Rainbow Dash: Yeah, we need vengeance for our friend Thomas, if you bozos got any bright ideas to kick us out, then you got another thing coming.
Figure #4 (Third tallest): (Laughs) What a lark, this should be fun.
Sunset Shimmer: We don't want to fight you guys, but we will do that if you force us too.
Figure #1: Looks liked you forced our hands on that regard.
Applejack: So be it, ruffian.
The two charged at each other, the group separated to take on the four figures. Sunset, Rarity, James and Gordon came in to attack the second tallest figure. James tried to use his fists to punch the figure, but he was dodging his punches until he grabbed his fist. At first it was a stalemate until he threw James into some bags of flour. Rarity was mad and activated her diamond shields to try to pin him, but he dodged and threw some Shurikens at them, two were stuck on the shield while two were stuck on the ground.
Rarity: Ha, you missed.
Figure #1: Did I?
Rarity realized that what he threw was flashbang Shurikens, they exploded blinding her until he hit her using his pressure point technique. That caused her to fall to her knees and fall flat on the ground. Sunset came in and dive-bombed the ninja as they tumble to the ground. Sunset was about to punch the ninja until it revealed a hologram of the ninja as she phased through and tumbled onto the ground. The ninja then saw Gordon coming towards him until he swiped a leg underneath him causing Gordon to crash onto the ground.
Gordon: How can he catch me so fast!
Figure #1: (Chuckles) You most certainly have a lot to learn.
The tallest ninja was fighting Applejack, Nia, Rebecca, Henry and Twilight. Twilight levitated some sandbags and threw them at the ninja, to which the ninja dodged and weaved past the bags, until he grabbed one of the bags and threw it back at her sending into other sandbags.
Twilight Sparkle: WHAT?! How is he that fast to catch those bags and send it back with blinding speed. That's impossible.
Rebecca fired a beam of sunlight at him only for a reflected shuriken to bounce off of it and burning through a rope which contained a net, Rebecca saw it as it fell on top of her.
Rebecca: Hey, that's not fair!
Henry came in and sprouted vines from the ground to try to grab him but the ninja deployed more Shurikens as they cut the vines. They charge at each other and went into hand to hand, while Henry managed to get a few punches, but he was outclassed when he grabbed Henry's fist and threw him into some flour bags. Nia came in with her sword as the two clashed blades, but the ninja managed to disarm her sword as it stuck itself on the wall, she then revealed her Bo staff as they clash. The ninja managed to dodge the strikes but he grabbed it and swing it around with Nia in hand as he threw it to the side with Nia holding onto it into another net.
Nia: What? Man, he must be some fighter, disarming my sword and taking me out in the process.
Applejack came in and locked fists with the ninja. They each started punching and the fists keep coming in contact with each other until the ninja threw a smoke bomb at her, blinding her, then he came in and did his pressure point technique to disable her temporarily. The smallest ninja was fighting Percy, Toby, Pinkie and Fluttershy. Fluttershy not really keen on fighting stayed away from the fight only for the ninja to throw a shuriken at her, only for a net to be dropped on her.
Fluttershy: Ow! Hey, that's not really nice.
Figure #2: Sorry about that, but next time, try to put up more of a fight.
Toby formed a wooden sword and shield to fight the ninja as they clash. It's metal sword sliced through the sword and kicked the shield pushing Toby back and into some mesh. Pinkie threw some explosive sprinkles at the ninja but he was dodging them before they exploded. He threw some smoke bombs as they exploded in front of Pinkie. Disorientated, Pinkie tried to clear the smoke, but her hands were suddenly wrapped in what looks like cables until she was hoisted up and stayed dangling until she sees the ninja on the ground.
Figure #2: No hard feelings friend, but we don't feel comfortable of you blowing up our new place.
Percy: Hey, you better let go of Pinkie or you'll be seeing the short stack from this blaster.
Figure #2: (Chuckles) You wouldn't dare fire that at your old friend.
Percy: Friend is an understatement when they chained my girlfriend to the roof supports.
Figure #2: All the better to test your worthiness.
He grabbed the arm and throw Percy into some sandbags. The third tallest ninja was fighting Rainbow, Edward and Emily. Rainbow and the ninja were using their speed to try to overpower one another. She was about to punch him but it was grabbed by the ninja's hand and threw into the wall with not enough force and threw some restraints to keep her wrists and ankles from moving.
Rainbow Dash: Hey, get me out of here!
Figure #4: (Chuckles) Sorry, don't want you leaving burn marks all over the place.
Emily then threw some emerald Shurikens at them and the same goes for the ninja. The Shurikens exploded on contact. Her hand generated some emerald discs and threw them at the ninja, but he dodged until he threw a plaster which hardened over her hands to keep her from generating more emerald weapons.
Emily: Hey, get this off of me!
Figure #4: Sorry, but don't worry, we'll get these off of you once you're subdued.
Then, he heard another blaster powering up as he turned to see Edward aiming his blaster at him.
Edward: I rather you surrender now or there's going to be consequences.
Figure #4: (Chuckles) Really, you and what army.
Edward looked to see his friends on the ground, groaning a bit and he sees the other ninjas surrounding Edward.
Figure #4: So, what's it going to be.
Edward: Fine, I'll stop. But let me ask you this, since when have you learned Ninjitsu and Kung Fu, Boco.
The others gasped at what Edward said, until they hear the second tallest chuckling to himself and remove his mask revealing Boco.
Boco: (Chuckling) Well, old friend, you figured me out.
The entire dojo lit up, and in a seating area was Hiro and Duke.
Hiro: Well now, that was an interesting fighting session if I do say so myself.
Sunset Shimmer: Hiro, oh thank goodness you're here. We could really use your help.
Hiro: I know; I've heard about your struggles with going through the loss of your boyfriend Thomas. It's heartbreaking to see you like this my friend, but don't you worry, you and your friends are in good hands.
Sunset Shimmer: Please Hiro, is there anything that you can do to help us.
Stephen: Well, there is one thing that could help you guys.
Rainbow Dash: Name anything and we'll do it.
Duke: Follow us youngins', your journey awaits.
Gordon: Since when is….
Applejack: It's best not to question it Gordon.
So they walked towards a large meeting room where Hiro and his friends stand in front, and the rest sat in the chairs.
Hiro: Before you came here my friends, I've sensed a greater threat looming in this very town. I can't really explain it, but someone that you know has fallen under an evil spell.
Sunset Shimmer: (Gasps) Are you serious?
Percy: Who is it?
Flying Scotsman: Like he said, he can't explain it, other than that he needs to be stopped, and we think you guys will be the ideal choice to stop this threat.
James: Wait a moment, you said one of our friends has fallen under an evil spell and you don't know who it is. Wow, way to go, you just lost a lead into your search for who this guy is.
Duke: Belt up James, it doesn't matter now. Besides, there's more to it than just him.
Applejack: Why's that Duke?
Hiro: To put it frankly, he's after something powerful in the Everfree forest.
Twilight Sparkle: Why would he go there, unless, you don't think?
Sunset Shimmer: You think he's after the other geodes from that cave we found.
Stephen: It may be a possibility, but we can't say for sure. But don't worry everyone, you're in good hands.
Percy: Why's that Stephen?
Hiro: We wish for you guys to stay here for two weeks, you'll be learning on how to do Kung Fu and an assortment of ancient martial arts.
Gordon: Two weeks! With all due respect Hiro, but there's just no way for us to stay here for two weeks in the dojo while the town might be under villain crisis.
Hiro: I know that all too well, Gordon, but don't fret, the incoming threat won't come yet, but you must all be trained under us if it does decide to show itself.
Rebecca: Alright, let's get started.
Skarloey: (Chuckles) Hold up Rebecca, the training won't be as easy as you may think it. It's very tough, and it takes great skill for you all to learn them. But, we'll be there to guide you through the steps.
Sunset Shimmer: Thank you Skarloey, we couldn't have gone this far without you.
Skarloey: Ah, it's nothing.
Sunset Shimmer: (Thoughts) Let's just hope it's not Thomas again, falling under that spell. Never mind, I'm just gonna forget what I just thought of and focus on the training.
Hiro: Very well then, let's meet at the center arena. We have work to do.
So they walked to the center arena, where they're going to begin their training. Hiro's friends came in with eye masks.
Hiro: Here, while you're staying in my dojo, you might need these to make you more unique in a sense.
James: Ooh, Super James is back in business.
Gordon: Oh, for Pete's sake.
So they each grab an eye mask representing their color. Sunset and James got the red masks, Twilight got a purple mask, Rainbow, Edward and Gordon got the blue masks, Henry, Fluttershy and Percy got the green mask, Rarity got the white mask, Applejack and Nia got the orange mask, Rebecca got the yellow mask, Pinkie got the pink mask, Emily got the emerald mask and Toby got the brown mask.
Percy: I feel like we're ninjas wearing these.
Skarloey: These are to remain on you during your training, and if you succeed, you could keep them as souvenirs.
Percy: (Gasps) No way! Awesome!
Rainbow Dash: Again, my line Percy.
Stephen: Anyway, before training can commence, we must put you with one of us, so that way we can begin.
Gordon: So, who are we gonna be assigned to.
Hiro: Why don't we have Boco be the first to go.
Boco: Thanks Hiro, I'll have Edward, Twilight, Gordon and Sunset be with me.
Twilight Sparkle: Well, I think the two of us will be working together for this session.
Edward: You betcha.
Hiro: I'll be taking Henry, Fluttershy and Nia with me.
Nia: Ooh, this is so exciting.
Fluttershy: Oh, I don't know if I can handle this.
Henry: Fluttershy, trust me, Hiro is as wise as any engine, next to Skarloey. I'm sure you'll be able to do anything under his teachings.
Fluttershy: (Blushes) Thanks Henry, you really are so sweet. (Kisses his cheek)
Henry: (Blushes, chuckles)
Skarloey: I'm sure I can take care of Pinkie Pie, Percy, if it's not too much trouble.
Percy: I'm sure of it Skarloey.
Pinkie Pie: WHAT?! But Percy, we're supposed to be together no matter what.
Percy: I understand Pinkie Pie, but listen, we'll always be together. But for this not right now, but hey, I'll always have your back.
Pinkie Pie: Thank you Percy-wercy. (Kisses his cheek)
Percy: (Blushes) Aww, thanks Pinkie.
Stephen: (Chuckles) Cute, now who shall I take, hmm, I'll take Toby, Applejack, Rebecca and Percy.
Percy: Oh yeah, looks like we'll be training together Toby.
Toby: You said it Percy.
Duke: Now then, I'll guess I'll take Emily and Rarity.
Emily: Oh boy, I hope Duke doesn't go too harshly on our training Rarity, otherwise we'll have our backs breaking.
Rarity: Oh, I haven't thought of that.
Duke: (Laughs) Don't you worry ladies; I won't go too harshly on you. I'm being generous for you.
Flying Scotsman: Well now, I guess the only ones I have left are Rainbow and James.
James: Interesting, I hope this will go well.
Rainbow Dash: Are you kidding James, it's the Scotsman, Gordon's big brother, I'm sure he can teach me a whole lot of stuff. (Whispers) Maybe to even outrace Gordon in our next race.
Gordon: I heard that Rainbow.
Flying Scotsman: (Laughs) I'm sure I can whip you up into shape, probably to best my little bro over there.
Gordon: O, the indignity!
Everyone laughed until they hear Hiro banging on his staff.
Hiro: Now then my students, I believe it's time for you to start your Kung Fu training. Once you all have perfected all your martial arts, then it's time to do the second leg of your training. Begin!
BG Music: Kung Fu Fighting- CeeLo Green & Jack Black (Kung Fu Panda) Hiro singing ft. Flying Scotsman, Duke, Stephen, Skarloey, Boco, the Rainbooms & Steam Team
(In different corners of the dojo, the teachers are having them students in a bowing position with their masks on, they were each in two rows as their teachers were walking in between them as they rose up facing their masters)
Hiro:
Everybody is Kung Fu fighting,
Your mind becomes fast as lightning
Although the future is a little bit frightening
(Little bit frightening)
It's the book of your life that you're writing
(Life that you're writing)
(They each begin to follow the instructions that their teachers are providing, some have difficulty but their teachers helped them find the right steps. As they progress, they each know exactly what their teachers are doing)
You're a diamond in the rough,
A brilliant ball of clay
You could be a work of art,
If you just go all the way
Now what would it take to break?
I believe that you can bend,
Not only do you have to fight,
But you have got to win
(Then, the student' teachers start singing with Hiro as they continue training them)
Hiro ft. Flying Scotsman, Stephen, Duke, Boco & Skarloey:
Everybody is Kung Fu fighting
Your mind becomes fast as lightning
Although the future is a little bit frightening
(Little bit frightening)
It's the book of your life that you're writing
(Life that you're writing)
(They continue their training as they hear Hiro's word in his songs)
You are a natural,
Why is it so hard to see?
Maybe it's just because,
You keep on looking at me
The journey's a lonely one,
So much more than we know,
But, sometimes you've got to go
Go on and be your own hero
Everybody is Kung Fu fighting (Kung Fu fighting)
Your mind becomes fast as lightning
Although the future is a little bit frightening
(Little bit frightening)
It's the book of your life that you're writing
(Life that you're writing)
You're a diamond in the rough,
A brilliant ball of clay
You could be a work of art,
If you just go all the way
Now what would it take to break?
I believe that you can bend,
Not only do you have to fight,
But you have got to win
(That's when the Steam Team and Rainbooms decide to join in with their teachers)
Hiro ft. Flying Scotsman, Boco, Duke, Stephen, Skarloey, the Rainbooms and Steam Team:
Everybody is Kung Fu fighting (Kung Fu fighting)
Your mind becomes fast as lightning
Although the future is a little bit frightening
It's the book of your life that you're writing
The teachers looked on as their students were exhausted from the training, some were on the ground, others were panting to catch their breath. Spike came in to cheer them on.
Spike: (Whistles) You go girls and guys. You're terrific in your kick-boxing martial arts training. I wish I was there to show off some of my moves.
Flying Scotsman: (Chuckles) I like your attitude my furry friend, I wish we could teach it to furry friends like yourself.
Hiro: Excellent work my students, you've completed your first day of Kung Fu training. For the remainder of the week, you'll continue your training, you have done well my students.
James: You know, being a student sounds a bit weird once you think of it, but I'm just exaggerating.
Gordon: So, we just sleep for the day and tomorrow we continue our training and so on. This is gonna be grueling.
Sunset Shimmer: It may be grueling work, but we have to do this, the fate of Canterlot rests in our hands to stop this threat from retrieving something in the forest. We need to do this otherwise it's game over.
Twilight Sparkle: You said it Sunset, we need to keep pushing ourselves until we improve our physique. If we finish this week's training, we'll move up to the next leg.
Gordon: Very well Twilight, we'll abide by your judgements.
So they each went to their sleeping quarters of the dojo to get a good night's sleep for tomorrow's training. For the remainder of the first week, the Rainbooms and Steam Team have been constantly continuing their training. Around the second week, everyone has gathered in the meeting room.
Hiro: You all have done very well on your Kung Fu training; you are now fully capable Kung Fu martial artists.
Edward: Thank you Hiro, you guys really are the best of teachers.
Flying Scotsman: Thanks for the compliment Eddie, now then, I believe it's time for the next leg of your training. (Whispers) You sure they're ready for this.
Hiro: (Whispers) I know they will be. Though, I haven't been able to find where they store them.
Gordon: What are you lot talking about?
Skarloey: What they're talking about Gordon, is that the next step in your training is learning on how to use your primary weapons.
Rainbow Dash: Uhh, hello, we have magic I'm sure that's our primary weapon.
Boco: I believe what Skarloey is trying to say is your weapons meaning ancient weapons like spears, swords, axes, that sort of stuff.
Fluttershy: Oh, uhh, I don't know about this.
Stephen: We know some of you guys are a bit overwhelmed about this, but rest assured, you're in good hands. We also know that Percy and Edward have built in weapons they already carry, courtesy of Twilight. So, naturally, you guys are off the hook, and the same goes for Nia.
Twilight Sparkle: (Blushes, chuckles)
Sunset Shimmer: Then we'll follow your teachings to learn about our new weapons. I believe I have a score with Adagio for killing my true love.
Hiro: So we've heard, but Sunset listen to me, while you desire revenge on her for killing Thomas, vengeance won't always bring you close to closure, it will only make it worse.
Sunset Shimmer: (Sighs) But I must carry on his legacy. (Sniffles)
Boco: Don't cry Sunset, we'll all be here to help you.
Sunset Shimmer: (Sniffles) Thanks Boco, thank you all.
Pinkie Pie: Hey ninjas! Check this out!
They turn to look at Pinkie with something in her hand, a multi-colored chain with a ball with hardened spikes.
Applejack: Uhh, Pinkie, what is that?
Pinkie Pie: Uhh, Percy and Edward has really cool weapons, so I decided I make mine's custom made. Hardened balloons that won't pop and will cause much more damage to anyone who dares to come across our way.
Then there was trouble, Pinkie started spinning her new mace all around causing everyone to dive out of the way.
Sunset Shimmer: Uhh Pinkie, don't you know on how to control this thing.
Pinkie Pie: Oh come on, what's the worst that can happen?
Then it happened, the mace head was swinging to a room with closed doors until it crashed into them and broke on impact. The girls and Steam Team looked at Pinkie angrily, in which she giggled sheepishly. But Hiro and Boco walked towards the room and were shocked to see that it was the weapons room.
Hiro: Blistering boilers.
Boco: And here I thought that the weapons room was all but forgotten.
Rainbow Dash: Is that what I think it is.
Hiro: It certainly is, the weapons room that we've totally forgot about. But I believe they will do very nicely for you all. So, who wants to go first.
Sunset Shimmer: I'll go first, I know you said that revenge won't get me to closure, but I still wanna avenge Thomas.
Hiro: Very well then, Boco, would you care to present her, her new weapon.
Boco: Certainly.
He went in and found one weapon that would suit Sunset. He grabbed it and walked out as the others looked in amazement, it's a Nordachi sword.
- The sword has a golden blade, the hilt is orange with a red jewel in the middle much like her geode and the handle is yellow and red
Boco: Sunset Shimmer, I believe this weapon will be a perfect match for you, I give you your new Nordachi.
Sunset stared in amazement as she grabbed the handle and stared at her new sword. She now made a look of determination.
Sunset Shimmer: I will use this well.
Boco: Thank you Sunset, now who's next.
James: Make way for an important engine like myself. I'll be getting my weapon next.
Fluttershy: Uhh, I'll guess I can go.
Percy: You wouldn't feel important if one of those weapons fall on you, you feel hurt.
James: Rubbish, it wouldn't dare.
Hiro: Very well then, Scotsman, let's get them their equipment.
Flying Scotsman: You said it Hiro.
Scotsman and Hiro looked at the weapons, and they found two of them, a Fukedake blowgun and a battle ax.
- The blowgun has a brown wooded shaft with green wrapped strips to hold it together, with a lavender barrel. Along with that, it's a brown bag of darts filled with cream-colored darts
- The ax has a black shaft with the handle having red stripes, the base of the ax is red and has a gold number 5 and the blade is a gunmetal grey with a flame job on it
Hiro: Fluttershy, I believe this weapon will be just the thing for you to use, it's your personal Fukedake blowgun. It's a weapon that I think will help satisfy your nonviolent tendencies.
Fluttershy: Oh, thank you Hiro.
Flying Scotsman: And James, I think this will do you nicely for you, your new battle ax.
James: Oh yeah, thanks for the new ax. I think I'll look really bold for Rarity.
Then it happened, the weight of the ax that he's holding is starting to slip. It let go and it nearly landed on Percy's feet, which he jumped in fright and landed in Applejack's arms.
Applejack: (Chuckles) Settle down sugarcube, you're okay.
She even gave him a comforting hug to help feel better.
James: Oh, sorry about that Percy.
Percy: I-It's okay James.
Flying Scotsman: (Chuckles) Anyways, who should we have go next.
Rebecca: Ooh, do me next.
Toby: I don't mind going next.
Henry: Same here.
Hiro: Very well then, follow me Henry.
Stephen: The same goes for you too Rebecca and Toby.
So the three followed Stephen and Hiro as they found three weapons that could work for the three engines, a Naginata spear, a large scythe and 1 pair of Nunchucks.
- Rebecca's spear has the shaft being dark cyan with sky blue stripes, the base for the blade is yellow and the blade is silver with red airbrushing
- The Nunchucks have a gunmetal grey chain, while the chucks are green with thin red stripes
- The scythe's shaft was brown with a metal brace around it for Toby's hands to grab it, the base is gunmetal grey and the blade is silver with a jagged bottom
Hiro: Henry, I think these would probably help you out, your Nunchucks.
Henry: Uhh, no offense, but how are these gonna work.
Hiro: Observe.
He walked over to a mannequin, and with a few strikes, the chucks were hitting the mannequin and with one hit, it fell to the ground, which the others were amazed.
Hiro: Sure they may seem like regular beating sticks, but they can be quite effective when in battle.
Henry: Well, I guess I should give these a shot.
Stephen: Rebecca, I believe this belong to you.
He hands Rebecca the spear and Toby the scythe, as they admire their weapons.
Rebecca: (Squeals) This is so exciting.
Toby: Whoa, careful with that thing, don't want any cuts on either of us.
Rebecca: Whoops, sorry.
Boco: (Chuckles) Youngins', always an eager sort of type. So, who's next.
Edward: I guess I'll….
Gordon: Sorry Edward, I believe it's my turn for them.
Edward: But, oh brother.
Twilight Sparkle: (Chuckles) Edward silly, you already have your weapon on your wrist.
Edward: Oh. (Chuckles sheepishly)
Gordon: Now then, what's my weapon you have for me.
Boco: Well then, let's see what we find.
He turned to the weapons rack, and found one particular weapon, a large sledgehammer.
- The hammer has the handle in a gunmetal grey with red thin stripes, the hammer itself is blue with silver stripes and at the ends are stars, indicating his Shooting Star form
Boco: I believe this will be an ideal choice, a hammer will make quite the impact for your fight.
Gordon: Hmm, I think I can work wonders with this, and maybe this will also shush James up with his remarks.
James: Hey!
Boco: (Laughs) I can agree with that, anyway, who else wants to go next.
Rarity: I'll go next dear.
Emily: I don't mind.
Applejack: I second the opinion.
Duke: I like their group Stephen.
Stephen: So do I, let's give them what they'll need.
They looked at the weapons until they find three, a diamond-bladed scythe, gauntlets and a katana.
- The handle of the sword was dark green and the handle is dark gold with an emerald jewel in it, the blade was a bright silver
- The scythe's shaft was purple with the base being a sky blue and the blade is encrusted in diamond
- The gauntlets were bronze and were lined with gold stripes, there was a green jewel in the center, the palms were orange
Duke: I believe these weapons right here, will be perfect for you Rarity and Emily.
Rarity: Ooh, this truly a magnificent piece of weaponry and did you say, diamond encrusted.
Duke: I sure did Ms. Rarity, and I don't think that blade would ever break.
Emily: Wow, this blade looks really amazing, real smooth and elegant. I think this really suit me.
Applejack: Hmm, punching gauntlets. I think any mugger would try to go at me, they'll never see the light of day when they see my fists flying.
Stephen: Well now, I think these will do just fine with you guys. So, who's left.
Twilight Sparkle & Rainbow Dash: Me! Me!
Boco: Well, the only two weapons left are in there, let's get them out shall we.
Flying Scotsman: Yes, Boco.
So they found the remaining weapons that were hanging there, another Naginata spear and a Kamayari spear.
- The spear shaft has it in rainbow colored, the base of the spear is in the color like her jacket, and the spear is gunmetal grey
- The shaft of the spear is purple, and the center brace is pink and white, while the blades are grey with the tips in silver
Flying Scotsman: Well Rainbow, I think you sorta know what this weapon is, the one Rebecca has.
Rainbow Dash: Oh yeah, that's the coolest weapon she ever had. I can do wicked things with this.
Twilight Sparkle: This is doable, but I think I can work with this.
Hiro: Smart move for choosing your weapons, now then, let's begin your training.
Around the second week, they trained them in learning on how to use their weapons. Some have their little slipups, but they eventually managed to get the hang of their new weapons. Around the final day, the Mane 7 and Steam Team were ready. In the center arena, they turned to their masters as they bowed to them.
Hiro: Well done, my students, you've all done very well in your training, you've pasts your tests and most of all, made us very proud of you.
Sunset Shimmer: Thank you Master Hiro, you've truly molded us into the perfect warriors we were meant to be.
Hiro: Your welcome Sunset Shimmer, now then, I believe you all have a mission to fulfill. Go forth and make sure this threat does not get that staff.
Sunset Shimmer: I won't let that happen on my watch.
Pinkie Pie: (Whispers) She's got her game face on.
Sunset Shimmer: Let's move out guys.
BG Music: Battle Without Honor or Humanity
Outside the dojo, the doors swung open and steam poured out of the dojo, from a wrestler's introduction to WWE as some figures started coming out in a slow motion. As more figures start coming out, spotlights came on as it shows the Mane 7 and Steam Team walking out with their weapons in hand and with their game/determined looks on their faces. They stopped at the entrance to the Everfree forest.
Sunset Shimmer: You sure you guys wanna do this.
James: Oh, we're with you 100%, no matter the challenge, we're with you.
Applejack: I second that.
Henry: We're a team and a team sticks together.
Percy: Thomas may be gone, but his spirit and his fight lives on, in us.
Gordon: We'll make sure Thomas can see us right now, and he'll be proud of what we accomplished.
Sunset Shimmer: Thanks you guys, let's make him proud.
They cheered for her as they head into the forest. Around night, the town was quiet until a portal was opened up and something dropped from the portal and landed on the ground with a huge thud, making a crater. The figure then stood up revealing to be a cloaked figure that covered half of his hoodie and was old and ragged as it flowed in the wind. It also came with a hood to cover his head and a cloth that covered his nose and mouth. His eyes then opened to reveal purple eyes, it was Nemesis Thomas. Meanwhile, Flash was walking down the sidewalk, when he noticed the figure so he hid behind a phone box. He took out his phone and started recording.
Flash Sentry: Who is that?
As the figure looked all around the city, he looked over to where Thomas' grave and started walking towards it. Flash asked one of his buddies to notify the authorities. He looked at the grave with his evil purple eyes. Flash noticed Duck with Bill & Ben, as they see Nemesis Thomas.
Duck: Who is….
Flash Sentry: Shh, get down.
Bill: Why do we have to be keeping a low profile, I wanna see the action.
Ben: Same here brother.
Duck: If you two wanna be blown up, then by all means, go for it.
Bill: Umm, yeah, I think we shouldn't go over there.
Ben: Agreed with you brother.
Then, they see something that surprises them. Nemesis brought out his hand as it powered up with dark purple dust. He then released it and it hit the grave. It then exploded, sending earth everywhere. The police arrived as Nemesis looked at them.
Officer #1: Freeze don't move or we will shoot!
Nemesis Thomas: Hmph, fools.
Then, something happened, his right arm powered up and slammed into the ground. On the road, cracks started appearing as it glowed purple and it creeps towards the cops, they looked in shock and then, a surge of dark power erupted from under them as it sent them flying up in the air and the cars flipped and crashed on the ground. The guys have never seen anything like it.
Flash Sentry: Oh no, this is bad. What should we do?
Duck: We should help the officers; they might be hurt. We're not strong enough to take that guy on. Come on!
So they raced off, while Flash uploaded the video to all his friends but to one of the Mane 7, Twilight. Nemesis then walked off and as he was walking, he felt a magical presence coming from one of them, he turned to look at Duck. As they were helping the injured officers, they noticed Nemesis Thomas staring at them, they were nervous and they get more nervous when he raised his arm and starts powering it up with dark purple dust ready to blast them, until he heard a voice.
Midnight Sparkle: (Telepathically) Leave them my soldier, they're not worth it. Once you get the staff and bring it to me, then we can do whatever we want. Just imagine, the way we see it, we can do whatever we want. Do we have a deal?
Nemesis Thomas: Very well Midnight, besides, they're not even worth a challenge. But once our job is done, the world will be an eternal darkness. No one will stand in our way, we will burn the whole town to cinders.
As they were talking, Nemesis Thomas walked into the Everfree forest to continue his mission.
