Alter the Past Change the Future
In the Castle Terminal, the forces of darkness were talking about their next move as well as Mindy's marriage to Michael Corleone.
Malkor began, "With Mindy Married to Michael Corleone we're stronger and we have some legitimate businesses to act as fronts."
Mavro added, "And there's more good news. Nova's Comet is due to arrive in Seven days. That means we can set Nova free and sway her to help us."
"And use her power to revive Dark Raven as well as freeing my friends." Dark Corvo said.
"Except the Rangers could pose a problem," Vrak spoke up, "However thanks to the Geno Scroll we now know that all bu the Current Red Ranger are not only related to the Rough Riders but they're all Arkeyan Weapon Masters."
"Bring it on," Talon said, "We've got the full might of our armies, the Glorft, and Hades with us."
Hades spoke, "Talon my man while I like your attitude you're beginning to sound like Prince Vekar and that's dangerous."
Oakley pipped up, "Speaking of whom, I kinda had Hades make a Deal with Gasket of the Machine Empire. If he trains Vekar to match Vrak's Skill and Power then he'll revive him, Archerena and the Machine Empire."
"Good luck with that," Creepox said, "If you've seen footage you'd know that he's a wimp just like Jack Spicer."
"I'm right here!" The boy genius spoke up in annoyance.
"For once Creepox you have a point," Damaras admitted, "I even thought that our invasion of Earth would've gone better without him. But for now we have work to do."
"And we gotta get Dark Corvo's friends out of jail and fast." Yeltzor added.
"What's the plan?" Jack asked.
Talon began, "First thing's first. We gotta change the past so as to bait the Super Megaforce into following us. Then we keep the Megaforce busy with a diversion which will allow us to find Mindy's French Cousins and their friends. We need their friends to free Dark Corvo's friends."
"Exactly." Damaras nodded.
"Then might I suggest sending some loogies to Wellsworth?" Vrak suggested.
"Shouldn't we wait for Mindy to return first?" Avarona noted.
"Let her enjoy her honeymoon." Mavro answered.
"And in the meantime I'll take the Déjà vu Stone use it to go back to the past to take care of something. Mindy and her cousin are gonna be so surprised." Devina said.
"Get to it." Mavro ordered.
"Yes, Emperor Mavro. Come, Jack. You'll have to pilot the Portable Time Machine to get us to the past. I can't do it in this form."
"You got it," So Jack took Devina into the portable time machine and began to hit the road but as they did Jack had a few questions to ask, "So where are we going?"
"We're going to Chamberlain, Maine Circa 2013."
"And what're we going to find there?"
"Let's just say that we're gonna help Mindy get some payback for her cousin and if this works we'll be able to remove a bitch from the equation."
"Sounds evil to me." Jack smirked.
"It is now did you set the time machine?"
"All set."
"Then hit the gas!" Jack started it up.
The Portable time machine then sped back to 2013 and they arrived in Chamberlain Maine, "Here we are." Devina said.
Jack looked around, "Doesn't looks like much to this town."
"Yeah but we're here for a reason. First we gotta get to Ewan High School."
"Alright." So Jack drove Devina and himself to the high school and when they arrived they spotted the reason why they were here.
They saw a blonde haired teenager walking around as if trying keep to herself, "That right there is the reason we're here." Devina said.
"Who's that?" Jack inquired.
"Carrie White. Mindy and her cousin told you about her didn't they?"
"Oh, yeah. The girl they humiliated at Prom and as a result raised hell."
"And also the reason why Mindy decided to prank Chris' gym teacher as well. As she said nobody crosses her relatives aside from Jimmy the guard, his wife and his kid and gets away with it."
"Neat."
"Now all we gotta do is place a kick me sign on the back so as to earn Chris Hargensen's trust."
"I like it."
So Jack went to place a kick me sign on Carrie's back and as he did he and Devina decided to go in under cover to see if the sign would have any effect. They watched as many other teens started kicking Carrie's back.
"So somebody's already picked on the freak and we haven't even done anything yet." a voice said.
Jack and Devina turned to see the Ultras standing behind them, "That would be us. And I take it you're the Ultras?" Devina inquired.
"What of it?"
"We just want to say that we really really like your work of tormenting others." Jack said.
"You don't say?"
"We do now could you introduce yourselves just so we know who it is we're talking to." Devina said.
"I'm Tina Blake." A brunette girl said.
"Helen Shyres." The blonde girl said.
Twins approached as one answered, "I'm Nicky Watson, and this is my sister Lizzie."
"I'm Sue Snell." A second blonde said.
"And my name's Chris Hargensen."
"Well I'm Jack Spicer, and this is Devina."
"Sup." Devina greeted.
"Hello." Chris greeted, as Devina continued.
"Anyway let's get to work. I've got a long list of pranks to ensure that you'll be able to do what you girls want and see to it that if anybody stands in your way they'll be lunch meat."
"You have our attention."
"Jack and I will see you at lunch later on."
"Until then." Chris said. Devina and Jack parted ways with the Ultras and decided to observe them via the use of Jack's fly bots.
Meanwhile back in the present day, Camille, Carol, Edna, and Michelle were meditating as part of their air element training. They remained perfectly still like statues. They were so still birds actually mistook them for trees and perked on their heads or shoulders.
The mane Six then arrived and from the looks on their faces it was important, "Twilight, what are Carol, Camille, Michelle, and Edna doing?"
"They're meditating, Rainbow Dash."
"I didn't know this was part of their bending training." Applejack said.
"It's important for Airbenders and apparently it seems to help Air elemental mages." Fluttershy added.
"Well, we need their help. How do we wake them up?" Rarity wondered.
"I know." Pinkie smiled. She wheeled in a gong.
"Pinkie Pie, couldn't we try something a little less disturbing?" Twilight asked knowing this was going to be bad.
Pinkie Pie didn't hear her and rung the gong loud enough to wake Edna, Carol, Camille, and Michelle from their meditative states.
"Damn that's fucking loud." Carol cursed.
"Carol, language." Edna scolded her.
"Good, we have your attention." Pinkie smiled.
"This better be important." Michelle said in irritation.
"It is. Devina's missing and so is Jack." Twilight began.
"And that's bad, how?" Camille asked.
"I picked up traces of a worm hole that they used. It seems to be temporal."
"That's not good." Michelle said.
"You don't think they might try to change the past? Do you?" Rarity inquired.
"If they do then we better go after them." Carol ordered.
"I agree." Edna answered.
Camille spoke, "Gather the other Super Megaforce Rangers. I'll stay with the Megaforce. If the Forces of darkness are planning an attack we can't leave Sodor unprotected." The group nodded, and split up.
Carol and the Super Megaforce met up at the Steamworks with Carl at the wheel of the Cooper Van and the Mane six with them.
"Everyone here?" Twilight asked.
"Pretty much." Maggie answered.
"Then we should get going." Carol said.
"Indeed. The sooner we get going the sooner we can begin to repair the damage." Geoff added.
"Then hurry." Camille said. Team Avatar and the mane six headed to find the source of the disturbance while Camille stayed behind.
"Are you sure it was a good idea leaving Camille behind to watch the house?" Rainbow asked.
"Of course I'm sure." Carol confirmed.
"And besides she's reformed so what could possibly go wrong?" Twilight asked.
"You have a point I mean it's not like somebody from Rainbow Dash's past is gonna pay a visit." Maggie said.
"And do I know a lot of others from my past." Rainbow noted.
"We can talk later. We're almost there." Carol noted. They continued on.
Eventually they arrived in Chamberlain Maine circa 2013, "Well, this is the place. Camille said that the source of the disturbance was around this area." Geoff said.
"But what is in this area exactly?" Fluttershy asked.
"Chamberlain Maine Year 2013." Carol answered.
"So what's so important about this place?" Applejack asked.
"Tell me are any of you familiar with the story Carrie?" Edna asked.
Rarity answered, "Well, Maggie, James, his crew and I have watched all three versions of the film last night at the Steamworks."
"But I'm afraid the rest of us haven't heard of it." Rainbow added.
Twilight sighed, "It's not a pretty tale. Carrie White was a lonely teenage girl bullied by her classmates, humiliated, ridiculed, and abused by her Christian hick of a mother. Through her anger she developed psychic powers, but hid their existence from everyone. Around Prom time she was asked out by someone who cared for her and felt things were looking up, especially when she was crowned Prom Queen. But that's when things took a nasty turn. Her tormentors after she got crowned dumped pigs blood all over her publicly humiliating her. As the classmates laughed at her, she snapped and her psychic powers started destroying the school, and everyone caught in the crossfire. Through bling rage her power practically destroyed the town and many bystanders with it. By the time she snapped out of it and returned home, she thought her mom was willing to help her. But she blindly tried to kill her daughter, and succeeded, but not before she was killed as well."
The rest of the team was shocked upon hearing that, "Oh my." Fluttershy gasped.
"Yes. Quite a sad fate for someone wronged on so many levels." Rarity added in sorrow.
"We should help her." Pinkie suggested.
"And that would mean changing the past." Carol added.
"But that doesn't work. Believe me I tried." Twilight said.
"You did?" Geoff asked.
"It's a long story."
Maggie spoke, "Anyway we may as well try to help Carrie as much as we can and at least try to prevent the loss of lots of innocent lives."
"I agree." Rarity nodded.
"Count me in." Rainbow said eagerly.
"First we gotta find her and do something about her mother." Edna said.
"Which brings me to her next question. Who is Carrie's mother?" Carol asked.
Twilight explained, "Margaret White. She has a serious mental problem that made her devote her life to being a Christian who believes everything is sinful. Her disorder is most likely a form of un-diagnosed and untreated Schizophrenia that worsened as she aged. She'd lock Carrie in a closet telling her to pray for forgiveness. She may have acted like she loved Carrie, but the truth is her mind was so warped she didn't know what love really was. She was no mother in any sense."
"I'm appalled that I share the same name as that stupid fucking bitch!" Maggie growled.
"So what can we do?" Rainbow asked.
"I think the best plan we can do now is keep an eye on Carrie and figure out where Jack and Devina are." Geoff said.
"My guess is that we had best figure out if Carrie has any enemies." Carl added.
"Of course she does. They're known as the Ultras." Rarity answered.
"I'm afraid to ask but who are they?" The shy pegasus inquired.
Twilight answered, "The group of girls who torment Carrie day in and day out at school. They're ringleader is Chris Hargensen."
"Camille mentioned her. She's Mindy's cousin." Carol said.
"So that's why Devina and Jack came to this time." Geoff realized.
Rainbow Dash spoke, "If that's the case then what pray tell would Jack and Devina possibly want to change that involves Mindy's cousin?"
"You don't suppose they might want to humiliate Carrie even worse than usual?" Maggie wondered.
"If they do then we better get going." Rarity suggested.
"Yeah. Come on!" Twilight called.
Before they could take a single step some Loogies appeared to stand in their way, "We might want to get rid of these guys first." Geoff said.
"Oh, yeah." Rainbow smirked.
Team Avatar stepped into action as they began to kick ass against the loogies. The loogies eventually retreated.
"Call me crazy but that was a bit too easy." Brian noticed.
"No kidding." Applejack agreed.
"They weren't so tough. I mean it's not like a pack of grinders is gonna show up and attack us any minute." Rainbow said rhetorically.
Soon enough said Grinders appeared looking ready to attack.
"Rainbow Dash!" Everyone yelled.
"What?"
"I think we better power up." Brian suggested.
"Right." The others agreed.
"Go go Super Megaforce!" Carol's bending Teachers morphed into the Super Megaforce and began to fight the Grinders.
The ponies chipped in offering their support. Carol herself used the skills that the Order of the White Lotus taught her as well and together the Grinders were defeated.
"Oh, yeah!" Rainbow called.
"Now that's what I call a rodeo." Applejack said feeling impressed.
"Come on. We should find Carrie. I get the feeling that school's probably out by now." Rarity said. They agreed and hurried off. Little did they know that some of Jack's Camera bots recorded the fight.
Later on the team found Carrie coming out of school after yet another day at school.
"There she is." Twilight spotted.
"She looks so dismal." Geoff noticed.
"Considering what she has to live with I don't blame her. We better go talk to her." Carl suggested.
"But will she want to talk with us?" Fluttershy wondered.
"Well, we won't know until we try." Twilight replied.
"Right. Let's go." Carol said.
Team Avatar and the Mane Six went to go see Carrie and try to get her to open up and they managed to catch up to Carrie.
"Excuse me, Carrie White?" Geoff inquired.
The girl spun and looked at them cautiously, "Who wants to know?"
"We do." Edna answered.
Twilight knew she was scared, "It's ok, we don't wanna hurt you."
"What the hell are you?" Carrie panicked at the sight of the ponies, and backed away.
"Relax, Carrie, they're friends." Carol assured her.
"Yeah. I'm Pinkie Pie, nice to meetcha." Carrie was a bit confused at first but she shook Pinkie Pie's hoof.
Carol spoke to Team Avatar, "I think we're beginning to make some progress."
Applejack spoke, "Listen, Carrie, we know ya have a hard life, but we promise ya we're not like those others."
"And how do I know that you're telling the truth?" Carrie asked suspiciously.
"I'm the most honest pony you'll ever know."
"Okay so suppose I believe you how do I know that you or your friends won't stab me in the back?"
"Because we value friendship above everything." Fluttershy explained truthfully.
"Okay so would you please introduce yourselves?"
"My name's Twilight Sparkle, this is Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity."
"My name is Carol. These are my friends, Brian, Maggie, Geoff, Carl, and Edna," Carrie looked at them all, "So do you trust us?"
Carrie started feeling the warm atmosphere around them, and answered, "Well, ok."
"How about we take you to your home?" Maggie suggested.
"I'm afraid too." The others had a feeling they knew what the answer was but they decided to ask.
"And why is that?" Rarity asked.
"My mother."
"What is she like?" Geoff asked.
"She treats everything as a sin and punishes me just for being alive."
"Why don't you tell somebody about her?" Carl asked.
"No one can help me." she sighed in defeat.
"That's not true, Carrie," Maggie spoke up, "There are plenty of people that can help you. We can help you."
"But why would you help me? You barely know me."
"Because we believe that you have so much potential and deserve a better life." Edna answered.
"Potential?"
Twilight spoke, "Yes. Now if you don't want to return home how about we take you to the police. That way you can tell them everything you told us just now and you'll be safer there."
"But my mom. She'll come after me for sinning."
Geoff calmed her, "Relax. Once we take you to the cops we can move you to a safer location out of the country like say Paris France."
"France? All the way there?"
"It's the safest place we know." Carl answered.
"Well, all right."
"Then let's get you to the cops." Brian said. Carrie nodded, as they walked with her.
Meanwhile on the roof of the School, Jack and Devina had seen everything as Jack had to comment on what just happened.
"This can't be real. How did they get here?" Jack asked in disbeleif.
"They have a time machine of their own or did you forget that they've got Camille and her two pals Kira and Tori on their side?"
"Right. But look what they did!"
"I see it and they're also unknowingly playing right into our hands."
"They are?" Jack asked in confusion.
"Yes and I need to know this. Did your robots record the entire conversation between Carrie and the Super Megaforce?"
"You betcha."
"We're gonna pay Carrie's mother a visit."
"Will she even listen to us?"
"All we have to do is play the recording of the conversation that we recorded and we'll let her handle it."
"All right. But if that crazy woman does anything to me I'm out of here."
"You forget I can just use my abilities to keep her subdued long enough for her to at least hear the message and tip her off about Carrie's psychic powers." Jack sighed in relief.
A short flight later Devina and Jack were outside Carrie's house, "This is it. Now all you have to do is knock on the door and drop the tape recorder in front of the house. And then press play by remote. The rest will take care of itself." Devina instructed.
"Ok."
He sat the tape recorder on the doorstep. He quickly knocked on the door, and turned to recorder on before flying up to the roof to hide. Devina had hidden herself by taking on a Kirin form and hiding behind a car as the door opened.
"What's this?" Margaret White asked.
The tape recorder then played the conversation between Carrie and Team Avatar. Margaret got angry at the recording before turning it off and throwing it on the pavement destroying it.
Devina spoke into a communicator, "Devina to Jack, what's Margaret saying right now?"
"She's praying like crazy to God to forgive her daughter of her sins, and that she will see to is she is cleaned of impurity."
"Then we'll just have to hope the Super Megaforce move Carrie to Paris and let the chips fall where they may."
"Right." Jack and Devina left on that note.
Meanwhile the Super Megaforce had arrived at the police station, "Now remember, Carrie, all you have to do is tell the cops what you told us." Rarity instructed,
"Yes, Rarity."
"Just remember, Carrie, that no matter what happens we've got your back." Twilight promised.
Carrie nodded, as she went into the station Team Avatar and the Mane Six were right behind her as Carrie went to give her statement and talk to the cops. They waited in the waiting room while Carrie was talking to the cops, until finally Carrie came out.
"How did it go, Carrie?" Brian asked.
"The cops are on their way to my place right now. My mother's being taken away and will be locked away for a long time."
"Let's go see this." Maggie said, as they left the station.
When they got to Carrie's place they saw the cops were already there, "Wow. This is great." Pinkie gasped.
Team Avatar and the Mane Six could see that Margaret White was being handcuffed and loaded into a Squad Car. Carrie watched her mother struggle ranting about them burning in hell for their sins.
"Think we should say anything else or should we get Carrie to France?" Rainbow asked.
"There's nothing to say." Twilight answered.
"Let's get Carrie to France." Rarity ordered.
So the Team got the necessary paperwork filled out and when everything was ready they personally took Carrie to France, unaware that Devina and Jack had seen everything and were ready to return to the Present Day.
Meanwhile with the team they were currently taking the Cooper Van and using it's hover Feature to take Carrie to a family in France that would accept her.
Carol: Good thing Camille loaned Maggie the Cane of the Ancestors otherwise this would've been harder.
"You think Carrie will be all right?" Fluttershy asked.
"She'll be in good hands." Geoff assured.
"Our work appears to be done." Twilight said.
"Which means once we drop Carrie off we can return home." Maggie added.
"Then we'll just have to track her down in the present time." Pinkie finished.
"Sounds simple enough." Edna said.
"We better get going." Twilgiht ordered.
Once the team dropped Carrie off with her new adoptive family they returned to the present time and when they did they had an unexpected run in with Belle.
"Belle?" the ponies gasped.
"Who were you expecting?" Belle asked.
"What are you doing here?" Carl inquired.
"My driver's adopted niece has come for a visit."
Stepping down from Belle's cab was Carrie only she looked a year older and more confident than the last time team avatar saw her.
"Carrie!"
"Hi guys." she greeted happily.
"What are you doing here?" Twilight asked.
"Visiting of course."
"So how has life been for you in France?" Fluttershy asked.
"It has been amazing!"
"And how is Celine doing, Carrie? She is my driver's niece after all." Belle asked.
"Doing good too."
"Considering she's half Yokai." Maggie explained.
"Yeah. Oh, hey, you won't believe this." Carrie extended her hand out and started levitating nearby objects.
Team Avatar and the Mane Six were awestruck at the display, "When did you learn how to do that?" Twilight asked.
"The truth is I discovered I had this power, but it was connected to my emotions. For a year I've learned to control them."
"Then perhaps I can take you to see a friend who can teach you some more about your powers." The alicorn suggested.
"I'd really like that."
"Then come on." Twilight then took Carrie to a friend of hers while the rest of the team returned to the Steamworks to train.
