Vanellope was awoken by the sound of frantic knocking at the front door. When she finally arrived, she saw a tired orange pony in camo breathing heavily
"Who the heck are you?" Vanellope asked
"Private sunny starscout, RDA secops infantry. I ran and flew here as fast as I could"
Rancis finally arrived and saw the scene
"You again? What are you doing at my house?" Rancis asked
"Sorry, trying to catch my breathe. Something terrible has happened. Hells gate, dragon, fire-"
Vanellope grabbed her by her uniform and shook her
"Spit it out, what is it?" She asked
"Hells gate has been destroyed, the thieves stole the dragon" said sunny
Rancis froze in fear hearing hells gate was destroyed.
"Dragon, what dragon?" Vanellope asked
(Hours later, 8 am)
The whole family sat in the conference room of Lucy's castle as a very wounded colonel Quaritch showed them a hologram of the dragon.
"The dragon assault ship is the most powerful weapon we have. In my world it was and still is used by our militaries in the most hostile combat zones against eco terrorists and mercenaries. It's heavily armored and well armed with enough weapons to take out this entire city in seconds" said Quaritch
"So what you're saying is we're screwed having this thing gone?" Ralph asked
"It's smaller than all my capital ships. And this castle still has plenty of surprises" said Lucy
"Sure, if you find this thing you can send your droids to catch or destroy it, assuming they don't use gusher juice on them" said Quaritch
"Gusher juice?" Sunny asked
"Imperials exploited said weakness in the last war, common knowledge in this game now to the point it can be used as a weapon" said Quaritch
"I can't do anything to change that, believe me I tried but my droids refuse to be test subjects anymore and I care about them" said Lucy
"Whoever stole this thing must have something terrible planned with it" said Rancis
A droid shoved Sunny aside and placed several papers on the desk.
"Seems the imperials had stuff stolen from their local airbase. A whole squad of ties and a tie defender, base was obliterated" said Vanellope as she looked at the papers
"This is getting ridiculous, why would anyone want to steal this stuff. We do nice things for this city" said Kevin
"Hey now that I've met you queen Lucy, are you really that girl from those music video remixes on buzztube?" Sunny asked
Lucy rolled her eyes.
"Yes that's me and I've seen all those videos of that Coldplay song. Sad I know" said Lucy
"I don't think you're that bad. We all made mistakes. Well I better get the colonel back to the infirmary, see ya"
Sunny wheeled Quaritch out of the room as the family faced each other.
"This crime wave is getting out of hand. We need to do something about it" said Vanellope
"What could we possibly do?" Kevin asked
"What if we chose the thieves next target. It seems they're targeting military stuff, we have a droid army. We set a trap and a bunch of trackers, find out where this stuff is going, and we find the thieves" said Rancis
After some time planning and working with local authorities, the trap was set. Battle droids and droid tanks and starfighters temporarily patrolled the farmlands as well as excavated the imperial airfield. That night the royals watched over the airfield as droids did what Lucy told them to do. Lucy had tied her hair in a low ponytail, not liking her hair down.
The family and droids waited, but the thieves didn't show. After some time, Lucy snuck away from her family to munch on a snack, a simple cookie. She leaned against a pole and looked up at the night sky. She wanted to be back in space, she didn't like living on earth in the city, a lot of people were mean to her. Before she could take another bite of her cookie, she had something shoved in her face from behind, some kind of cloth that knocked her unconscious.
"Sleep now, you'll be useful later" said a mysterious person in black
The man in black picked up Lucy before running away to a black car parked outside the airfield, throwing her inside before driving away. Meanwhile, Rancis was calling for his kid
"Lucy, you over here? We're calling it quits, set another trap somewhere else tomorrow" said Rancis
He stopped when he saw a light brown purse lying on the ground with a yellow plush pony keychain on the zipper, it was Lucy's. If it was on the ground. Something must've happened to her.
"Oh no, lucy" cried Rancis
