Author's Note: Sorry I couldn't update yesterday stuff in my personal life got the best of me. But enough about that here's the next chapter.

Chapter 10: You've Got a Serious Condition

At the conference hall Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Derpy, and Dr Whooves are gathered at a table in silence. Whooves pulls out some blood stained cards. "These were in Spike's jacket...Guess he never did get you to sign them." Whooves said throwing them on the table in Applejack's direction, who sadly, stares at them. "We're dead in the air up here. Our communications, location of the cube, Fluttershy, Twilight...I got nothing for you. Lost my one good eye...Think I had that coming." Whooves said heading towards Rainbow Dash and Applejack.

"Yes...we were going to build an arsenal with the Tesseract...I never put all my chips on that number, though, because I was playing something even riskier...There was an idea, Dash knows this...called the Avengers Initiative." That got Rainbow Dash to look up. "The idea was to bring together a group of remarkable ponies, see if they could become something more...See if they could work together when we needed them to, to fight the battles that we never could...Spike died still believing in that idea, in heroes." Rainbow Dash couldn't take anymore that she got up and walked out of the room. "Well...it's an old-fashioned notion."

Meanwhile

Fluttershy wakes up in a pile of rubble in a warehouse where she sees a security guard standing over her. "You okay? You fell out of the sky." the guard asked.

"I'm fine. D-did I...h-hurt anypony?" Fluttershy asked.

"There's nopony around here to get hurt. You did scare the hell out of some pigeons though." the guard said.

"Oh. I guess that was lucky." she said sad.

"Actually it might have been just good aim. You were awake when you fell." the guard said.

"You saw?" Fluttershy asked afraid.

"The whole thing, right through the ceiling. Big and green. Let me tell you, you've got a serious condition." the guard said. Fluttershy flies out from the pile of rubble. "So, which one is it?"

"Sorry?" Fluttershy asked confused.

"Are you a big pony that gets all little, or a little pony that sometimes blows up large?" the guard asked.

"You know...I'm not even sure." Fluttershy replied.

"You got somewhere to go?" the guard asked.

"Yes. Umm no." That made the guard look at her confused. "Yes." Fluttershy answered.

"I'd expect some confusion of the mind, since your body's kind of all over the place, but it has to be one or the other." the guard explained gesturing Fluttershy to follow him.

"I know where I could do the most good, but it's where I can do the most harm." Fluttershy said.

"Well, that's no different from any other pony." the guard said. "I think your mind's already made up. You should go where your needed. The rest of you will follow." the guard said.

Meanwhile back at what remains of TIME headquarters

We find Pinkie strapped to a hospital bed with Rarity sitting by her as she strains against the bonds, breathing hard and shaking her head.

"Pinkie, you're gonna be alright." Rarity told her.

"Hi Rarity. (Oh no!) What happened? Why does my head hurt?" Pinkie asked.

"You were under Trixie control and destroyed most of our headquarters but your better now." Rarity said.

"Yayyy I'm better." Pinkie said. "Can you let me out now."

"No! You gotta level out, it's gonna take time." Rarity said.

"Aww but I wanna be let out. (Come on Pinkie stick with your lines.) Oh sorry. Ok...Umm. You don't understand. Have you ever had somepony take your brain and play? Pull you out and stuff something else in? You know what it's like to be unmade?" Pinkie said.

"You know that I do." Rarity said.

"Why am I back? How did you get her out?" Pinkie asked.

"Cognitive recalibration." Rarity said.

"Huh?" Pinkie was confused.

"I hit you really hard in the head." Rarity said.

"Oh. Thanks." Pinkie said.

Rarity then begins to remove the strap restraints.

"Rarity, did I miss any parties while I was out? (Pinkie!) I mean how many agents did I-"

"Don't. Don't do that to yourself, Pinkie. This is Trixie. This is monsters and nothing we were ever trained for." Rarity explained.

"Did Trixie get away?" Pinkie asked.

"Yeah. I don't suppose you know where?"

"Beats me. Didn't need to know and I didn't want to know. (Pinkie!) I mean...I didn't ask. She's gonna make her play soon though. I'm guessing...today." Pinkie said.

"We gotta stop her." Rarity said.

"Yeah? Wait, who's we?" Pinkie asked.

"I don't know. Whoever is left." Rarity said.

"Well, maybe if I throw a party we can get more ponies to help. (Pinkie focus!) I mean if I put an arrow through Trixie's eye socket I'd sleep better...I suppose." Pinkie said.

"Now you sound like you." Rarity said.

"But you don't. You're a jewel hunter, not a spy. (Come on Pinkie stick with your lines) Fine." Pinkie said irritated. "You're a spy, not a soldier. Now you want to wade into a war. Why? What did Trixie do to you?"

"She didn't, I just..." Rarity said not able to say anything.

"Rarity."

"I've been compromised. I got red in my ledger. I'd like to wipe it out." Rarity said.

Rainbow Dash is standing near the place where Spike died and Applejack walks near her. "Was he married?" Applejack asked.

"No. There was a uh...cellist, I think." Rainbow said.

"I'm sorry. He seemed like a good dragon." Applejack said.

"He was an idiot." Dash said.

"Why? For believing?" Applejack asked.

"For taking on Trixie alone." Rainbow said.

"He was doing his job." Applejack said.

"He was out of his league. He should have waited. He should have-"

"Sometimes there isn't a way out, Rainbow Dash." Applejack said.

"Right. How did that work for him?" Dash said.

"Is this the first time you've lost a soldier?" Applejack asked.

"We are not soldiers" Rainbow snapped. "I'm not marching to Whooves's fife."

"Neither am I. He's got the same blood on his hooves that Trixie does, but right now we gotta put that behind us and get this done. Rainbow Dash's eyes drift down at the blood stain on the wall. "Now Trixie needs a power source, if we can put together a list-"

"She made it personal." Dash said.

"That's not the point." Applejack said.

"That is the point. That's Trixie's point. She hit us all right where we live. Why?" Rainbow asked.

"To tear us apart." Applejack replied.

"Yeah, divide and conquer is great but...she knows she has to take us out to win, right? That's what she wants. She wants to beat us, she wants to be seen doing it. She wants an audience." Dash explained.

"Right. I caught her act in Ponyville." Applejack said.

"Yeah. That's just previews, this is..this is opening night. And Trixie, she's a full-tail diva. She wants flowers, she wants parades, she wants a monument built to the skies with her name plaster..." she stopped realizing where Trixie is. "Son of a bitch."

"Time to go." Applejack said entering the room where Rarity and Pinkie are in.

"Go where?" Rarity asked.

"I'll tell you on the way. Can you fly one of those jets?" Applejack asked.

Pinkie walks out of the restroom, raising her hoof. "Oh! I can! I can!"

Applejack looks at Rarity, who nods in assurance. "Got a suit?" Applejack asked.

"Yeah." Pinkie said.

"Then suit up." Applejack said.

"Yay were going to a party!" Pinkie celebrated. (...You know what, say whatever you want I don't even care anymore)

Meanwhile

We find Twilight in a field making her way over to Mjolnir. But she hesitates to pick it up, fearing that she is not worthy. But after a while she lifts Mjolnir and summons a bolt of lightning with her horn. The field grows dark, with clouds and her armor slowly begins to fly on her.

Meanwhile back at TIME headquarters

Captain Equestria, White Widow and Pinkeye walk onto the chariot. "Hey, your all not authorized to be in here." the agent in the chariot said.

"Son, just don't!" Captain Equestria said.

"Uh sir." Derpy said heading towards Hooves.

"Agent Derpy." Whooves said.

"Those cards...they were in Spike's locker, not in his jacket." Derpy said.

"They needed the push." Whooves told her.

"We've got unauthorized departure from Bay Six." the intercom announced.

"They found it. Get our communications back up, whatever you have to do. I want eyes on everything." Whooves ordered.

"Yes, sir." Derpy said.

Author's Note: Well Pinkie's back personally I'm glad she's back to her former self. Where is Trixie located? Find out next time.
