Well, looks like no one answer it either they don't know the answer or not bother answering it. Oh well, back to the show
CHAPTER 17
The Mane 7 sighs. "In this rate we won't have the answers," said Rarity. They see Applebloom, Sweetie Belle and Scoolatoo pass by. "What kind of dessert has that kind of name?" asked Scoolatoo. "Yeah, his new clue is more confusing as ever," said Applebloom. "What new clue?" asked Applejack. The Cutie Mark Crusaders look at the Mane 7. "Well, Tai gives us another clue just now," said Applebloom. "But we can't still find the answer," said Sweetie Belle. "What is the clue anyway?" asked Twilight. "That dessert family has 4 children; Limestone, Marble and Maud. Find the last one and you'll get the answer," said Sweetie Belle. "Agree with you, Scoots. What kind of clue is that?" asked Rainbow. Fluttershy gasps.
*Flashback*
"…She has 3 sisters, Limestone, Marble and Maud…" explained Taichi.
*End Flashback*
'The type of the dessert is a pie, the colour is pink. The picture clue is 3 balloons. The other clue is the sisters of Limestone, Marble and Maud. Of course' think Fluttershy as she smiles widely. "You already found the answer, Fluttershy?" Fluttershy looks at the rest of Mane 7 and Cutie Mark Crusaders that look at her. She smiles sheepishly. "Yeah. The last clue really clear things up," said Fluttershy. "What do you mean?" asked Sunset. "Well, the type of the dessert is a pie and the colour is pink. The dessert family which he refers to the pie has 4 children, Limestone Pie, Marble Pie and Maud Pie. So the fourth child is Pinkie Pie," explained Fluttershy. "Me?" asked Pinkie, shocked. "But what about the three balloons?" asked Twilight. Fluttershy holds Pinkie Pie's shoulder and turns her on the left, showing the same three balloons on her skirt. Sunset Shimmer sighs. "Sneaky guy, we're so focus on finding the answer when it is right with us all the time," said Sunset.
Taichi stands in front of VP Luna and Principal Celestia. "Looks like no one guess it correctly," said Principal Celestia. "Maybe next time," said Taichi. "Before you go, can we know the answer?" asked VP Luna. "It's Pinkie Pie," said Taichi as he opens the door. "You're really needed to teach me how to do that," said Principal Celestia. "I'll send the note on how to make that pie tomorrow since it's getting late and I need to do my homework," said Taichi. "Very well," said Principal Celestia as Taichi walks out.
At night, Taichi sits in front of his computer, typing new code for his incoming Nightmare Night plan. He leans back to see a small group of Changeling walk towards the main building. He stands up.
One of the Changeling activates the time bomb. Taichi arrives and kicks one of the Changeling on the back. The others freeze as Taichi turns to face them. "Back off," said Taichi. The Changelings lure towards him. He smirks as he avoids their attacks and throwing punches and kicks towards them. All the Changelings fall back from the attack, Taichi pulls out a sword and aims towards them. "Leave now," said Taichi, giving them a glare. The Changelings stand up and run away. He looks at the Time Bomb and sees the timer that shows 10 seconds to explode. He pulls the Time Bomb from the wall and throws to the air towards the Everfree Forest. The bomb explodes, throwing him back towards the wall. He wakes up slowly and walks back towards the hostel.
The next day, The Mane 7 rushes towards Taichi that puts the ointment on his left arm. "What happen? We heard an explosion yesterday," said Twilight. "Someone wants the school destroyed," said Taichi. "What?" asked the Mane 7, shocked. "Why?" asked Sunset. "No idea. I'm still searching for it," said Taichi. "If you need help, don't forget to ask us," said Sunset. Applejack sighs. "Twi, Sunset, you better help him with his findings," said Applejack. "Why?" asked Sunset. "Knowing my boyfriend, he likes handling things alone," said Applejack. "You do know I enjoy doing it alone?" asked Taichi. "I know, sugarcube. But like they said, three heads are better than one," said Applejack with a wink. "You mean two heads and one egghead," muttered Taichi as Fluttershy giggled as both Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie laugh. Twilight Sparkle pulls his hand as the walk to the library, followed by Sunset Shimmer. "Okay, you need to brief us about your findings," said Twilight.
Applebloom, Sweetie Belle and Scoolatoo run around as Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon stop them. "Well what do we have here? A bunch of babies and wannabe Wonderbolts," sneered Diamond Tiara. Scoolatoo moves forward but Applebloom puts her arm in front of her. "Nothing to fight back?" asked Silver Spoon. "Nope. We just don't want to waste our time with some dumb haters," said Applebloom. "What did you just say?" asked Diamond Tiara, angry. "Come on Applebloom, we have another project to do," said Sweetie Belle as she walks past Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, followed by Applebloom and Scoolatoo.
In the library, Twilight Sparkle uses the computer to find any info while Sunset Shimmer surfs the net. Taichi reads History of Equestria part 2. 'Before CHS were build, this place used to be a castle protected by the Spirits of Harmony. When the King of Darkness attacked, The Solar Guardian used the power of the Spirits of Harmony to lock the King of Darkness inside a tomb deep in Everfree Forest, resulting the castle to collapse. Few thousand years later, CHS was build along with dorms, sports ground and recently swimming pools. The spirits of Harmony are born as humans and now studied at CHS. The King of Darkness? The only King of Darkness I know is King Sombra, previous ruler of Crystal Empire' think Taichi as he grips his hands. 'I will not let that happen again in this universe' thinks Taichi as he stands up and walks towards the shelf. Twilight Sparkle sighs as she stands up and looks at Taichi that puts the book. As Taichi walks towards the door, Twilight Sparkle holds his hand. "Why don't you open up?" asked Twilight. "I do open up, Twi. I let myself socialize with all of you," said Taichi. "Then, why not let us know about the threat? Why you held it all alone?" asked Sunset. Twilight Sparkle sighs. "Is it fighter like you have a duty to protect anything alone?" asked Twilight. "Because I want all of you to live like a normal person. I was destined to remain alone for the rest of my life," said Taichi. "Is it fair, Tai? You're really can bear it?" asked Sunset as the rest of Mane 7 and VP Luna walk in. Taichi grits his teeth. "You don't understand and you won't understand," said Taichi. "Make me, Tai. You said it yourself, I am an egghead. I can understand," said Twilight. "I want to join you, Tai. With you, I want to climb higher until we achieve what we want," said Fluttershy. Taichi sighs. "It is not about duty. I want to protect this place because I don't want it happen exactly like my place. I want to give everything I got so it won't be tainted like my place," said Taichi. "Don't let it be your own battle. We all destined to protect this place. Me and my sisters, the Mane 7 as you keep referring on your computer. You will never be alone," said VP Luna.
Behind the door, Principal Celestia looks at her sister and the Mane 7 along with Taichi.
Back to the cave, King Sombra strangles one of the Changeling, squeezing the air out of him. He release the lifeless body and looks towards Queen Chrysallis. "I don't tolerate failures," said King Sombra.
At the Nightmare Night, Taichi sits in front of his computer. 'I am always alone. Every girl that in love with me either has a change of heart or die protecting me. That's why I have to face him alone' think Taichi. "Tai!" Taichi chuckles as he walks towards the door and opens a bit to see Applebloom, Sweetie Belle and Scoolatoo stand at the door beside him. He smirks. 'Okay girls, let's see if the idea works' thinks Taichi as he closes the door and sits in front of the computer, looking at the screen that shows the next room that been changed to ghost house.
VP Luna looks outside the window. Principal Celestia sighs as she looks at her sister. "If you want, we can talk to him after class," said Celestia. "I don't know big sister. His overprotectiveness worries me," said Luna, holding her crescent moon ring.
Back to the dorm, Taichi laughs so hard as he fell to the floor. 'Man, I never had this kind of fun since elementary school' think Taichi. He glances towards his sword that on his table. 'Calm before the storm huh. Might as well make it to the fullest' think Taichi.
