Twilight Sparkle found the Key of Magic by showing her power of friendship in all of us and also Eli found the Key of Valor by saving Maria at the risk of his life by saving her from a blast from a gun and that shows true valor. His key looked like his Cutie Mark. We had all 12 keys. We would open the Chest later on.
Over in England, me and Georgina were searching for another Black Ghost base. We found the base and it was in a cave the forests of Northern England.
Georgina: Is this the place?
Me: Yep. It's in the forests of Northern England.
Georgina: Wow.
Me: I've always liked England because of how it has so much history.
Georgina: Yep.
We went into the cave. Water was dripping as we went down into the cave.
Georgina: I bet you want to know about the backgrounds of me, Rice, Maxxine, and Kendra.
Me: I sure do. I don't know hardly anything about you all.
Georgina: Well my story is good. I was born into a beautiful family in Mississippi. I have my mom Andrea and my father Logan and my awesome little sisters Cienna and Wendy. My family was always the perfect normal family. I later went off to college and after what happened with my ordeal, I never saw my family.
Me: Oh man. I'm sorry Georgina. We'll see them eventually.
Georgina told me all about Rice's family. Rice came from a beautiful rich family with her mom Kira and her father Owen and her three little brothers Mike, Sheldon and Lane. She was aspiring to become a beautiful dancer star. But Paradigm's deeds ruined it.
Kendra came from a poor family. She and her family composed of her mom Olivia, her father Sam and her little sisters Ophelia, Naomi, Gina and Diana were forced to live on the streets and Kendra was kidnapped by Paradigm and she mutated her.
And Maxxine was born to her mother when her mother, Francine, was in prison for espionage charges and she was raised by her parents. She grew up to be a great girl and visited her mother in Federal Prison from time to time. But Paradigm stopped those visits.
Me: Whoa. That's awful.
Georgina: I know. I miss my family so much.
Me: We'll reunite with them.
We got to the base and we saw that it was a big one.
We got in and just as a guard was walking by, we hid.
A guard was walking by when he saw me and Georgina making out.
Georgina: Do you mind?
Guard: Oh sorry ma'am. You two are good lovebirds.
He left.
When he was gone we broke away.
Me: I liked that.
Georgina: Me too.
Me: Yeah.
Georgina: Looks like this is the core of the base. (concentrates and groans in pain)
I covered my eyes and Georgina gave me her clothes and she turned into STONEBITER!
Me: Show no mercy.
Stonebiter: With pleasure.
She smashed and pulverized the guards and everything all over and really smashed them all to pulp before they could call headquarters.
Stonebiter: Yeah!
Me: That takes care of them.
Stonebiter: I should probably revert back now. (concentrates again and groans)
She reverted back to Georgina and I had my eyes covered and gave her clothes back.
Georgina: Thanks.
She went to put them back on.
Georgina: Thanks J.D.
Me: You're welcome. Lets blow this popsicle stand.
We left and fired a blast of energy into the base and it hit it and exploded.
KRABBBBBBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!
Another base was destroyed.
Me: Awesome.
We went back home.
Back at the estate, we were watching TV and playing card games. I was reading Twilight's book.
Me: Hmm. Interesting.
I saw a glow.
Me: Huh?
I looked and saw my Cutie Mark Glowing.
Me: (Gasp) My Cutie Mark is glowing.
Nico: Mine too!
Me: The map is calling us. Lets get ready for an awesome Friendship Mission everyone!
We got ready.
Maria: Where are we going this time?
Me: We'll know when we get to Twilight's Castle.
Nico: I wonder who we're gonna help out next.
Lincoln: We're gonna find out later.
Dark Spicer, Robo-Blaze, Snake, Shiv, Electro and Firefly appeared.
Robo Blaze: Can me, Dark, Snake, Shiv, Electro, and Firefly go with you guys?
Me: Absolutely. Lets head for the castle. We'll have to use our version of the Map later.
Mine and Nico's cutie marks formed outside and we followed them to Twilight's Castle.
Coincidentally, at Fluttershy's cottage, she was getting every animal she knows ready for her awesome book club.
Fluttershy: Does everyanimal have their copy of Wuthering Hooves? Hooray! I love Furry Friends Book Club! Now, let's discuss the theme of nature as it applies to Hoofcliff's love.
Her Cutie Mark then started ringing.
[cutie mark ringing]
Fluttershy: Did somepony leave a light on? (Angel points to her Cutie Mark) Oh, it's me. Oh! It's me!
[shimmering and whooshing]
Her Cutie Mark appeared and she went to follow it.
Fluttershy: We'll continue this discussion when I get back!
She left.
[door closes]
Animals: [chattering]
The animals did the book club.
Fluttershy was flying to Twilight's Castle and we arrived with her.
Me: Oh Fluttershy. Looks like we're not the only ones who were called.
Fluttershy: Thank goodness. I wonder what our Friendship Problem will be.
Nico: We'll find out when we get there.
[shimmering and whooshing]
We followed our Cutie Marks and got to the castle and the door opened and Twilight came out.
Twilight Sparkle: You're here!
[teleportation zap]
We were teleported in.
Twilight Sparkle: Isn't this exciting?!
Her cutie mark was ringing too.
[cutie mark ringing]
Fluttershy: Oh! You were called, too! Thank goodness. I feel so much better going with a friend.
Me: Looks like all 4 of us were called.
Nico: Yeah we sure were.
Me and Nico showed our Cutie Marks glowing.
Twilight Sparkle: I was about to come and get you guys, but then I got distracted.
[doors open]
She opened the door and there were lots of books all over the place as well as charts.
Fluttershy: Oh.
May: So, what's going on this time?
Twilight Sparkle: Well believe it or not I want to be fully prepared for this mission.
Me: Boy we can see that. You piled on a lot of research in this.
Fluttershy: Yeah.
Twilight Sparkle: I know. Ever since the map called us, I've been doing a ton of research.
[teleportation zap]
She teleported to a chalkboard and there was an equation on it.
Twilight Sparkle: Testing out potential friendship problems.
[teleportation zap]
She teleported back to us.
Twilight Sparkle: Diversifying my solution portfolio.
She showed us a book she made.
Me: Interesting.
Fluttershy: Ever since the map called us? But that happened five minutes ago.
Twilight Sparkle: I know! But I wanna be one hundred percent prepared! I mean, I'm the Princess of Friendship. How would it look if I couldn't solve a friendship problem?
Me: That's true.
Applejack: This is gonna be interesting.
Fluttershy: Oh, I'm so lucky I'm being sent with you.
Me: All of us are.
Rainbow Dash: Yeah.
Fluttershy: Speaking of which, where are we going?
Pinkie Pie: Yeah! Where is the Friendship Mission at?
Twilight Sparkle: The Smokey Mountains!
We saw that our Cutie Marks were above a valley area.
Me: That's interesting.
Fluttershy: Oh, I've never been there before.
Twilight Sparkle: Neither have I.
Me: All of us haven't.
Twilight Sparkle: And there isn't a lot of information on them. (She lifts up a lot of books and Spike was underneath them) All I could find was this. (She showed us a beautiful valley in between two mountains that had two different kinds of forests.) The Smokey Mountains harbor the most beautiful valley in all of Equestria between its two majestic mountain peaks.
Me: Ooh those are beautiful.
Nico: They sure are. It would make a great vacation spot.
Laney: It sure would.
Fluttershy: That's gorgeous. And where there's nature, there's a ton of animal friends!
Twilight Sparkle: I can't wait to get started! I'm a little nervous since that's all I could find. I usually like to be a bit more prepared.
Me: Well we'll find out what's going going on when we get there.
Fluttershy: You seem pretty prepared to me. (We saw our backpacks and saddle bags) Are those for us?
Twilight Sparkle: Yep! I've prepared our things. Snacks, books, blankets, books.
Fluttershy: You said "books" twice.
Twilight Sparkle: There are a lot of books.
Me: This is gonna be fun.
I lifted up my backpack and it weighed over 300 pounds!
Me: WHOA! Geez this is heavy!
Nico lifted up his and it wasn't heavy at all.
Nico: Nothing I can't handle.
Fluttershy had hers on her and it was heavy.
Fluttershy: Ooh!
Me: You guys are gonna love my new Friendship Mission Transport that we built just for Friendship Missions.
Twilight Sparkle: Really?
Me: To the Garage!
We went to the garage and we saw an M19 Steampunk Airship and it had our cutie marks on it as well as the symbols for Team Loud Phoenix Storm and the Knights of the Friendship Table.
Me: Say Hello to the TLPS S.S. Harmony!
Twilight Sparkle: Wow!
Fluttershy: Wow! What an airship.
Rainbow Dash: This is awesome!
Applejack: Hoowee! Wow that is mighty impressive!
Starlight Glimmer: Wow! That is amazing that you all built an airship for friendship missions.
Me: I know. Me and Dark Spicer have been working on it for this. You'll love the inside.
We went inside and it looked like the inside of an awesome castle and it had an awesome holographic globe in the middle and it showed our Cutie Marks over the Smokey Mountains and the steering wheel was like an old pirate ship steering wheel but with our cutie marks on the handle.
Twilight Sparkle: WOW! J.D. this is so cool!
Laney: Wow! You guys have a lot of free time.
Dark Spicer: We get things done very quick.
Lincoln: Wow!
Me: The holographic globe is like our navigation device and it's honed in to the Cutie Map and where we need to go and it will show us where we are. This ship also has all the comforts of home for a great journey.
Nico: Wow! This is amazing.
Me: Lets shove off!
We got the ship ready and the roof of the Garage opened up and the ship lifted up and we were off to the Smokey Mountains.
Twilight Sparkle: What do ya think our friendship problem's gonna be?
Me: We'll know when we get there.
Fluttershy: [struggling] I don't know. [grunts] But I'm sure we'll figure it out. [grunting, panting]
She put her bags on the sofa.
Twilight Sparkle: Do you think it'll be a problem about lying?
Fluttershy: [grunts] I'm sure we'll find out when we get there.
She sat down.
Twilight Sparkle: You're right.
We were flying over the land and it was beautiful.
Fluttershy: Wow. It's so beautiful from up here.
Lincoln: It sure is.
Earth: Wow. You can see everything from up here.
Nico: You guys have thought of everything.
Twilight Sparkle: Ooh! Could it be about when two friends just randomly decide to do something together, but they forget to invite the third friend, and the third friend feels left out?
Me: That might be the case.
We landed and hooked the ship up.
Twilight Sparkle: Or where one friend tells another friend's secret after they asked them not to?
Fluttershy: [exhausted] We'll know very, very soon. Since we're almost there.
Me: Yeah.
We flew into the air and Fluttershy was struggling because the bag she had was too heavy.
Fluttershy: [groans]
Twilight Sparkle: Here. Lemme get that.
She took her bag.
Fluttershy: [sighs] Thank you.
Twilight Sparkle: Sorry I've been a little skiddly-bopty-boo. I just can't believe this is finally happening!
Me: Someone is sure excited.
[pumpkins firing]
I saw a pumpkin.
Me: HEADS UP!
We ducked.
Fluttershy: Whoa!
A pumpkin flew and hit at a fort.
Twilight Sparkle: Whoa! What in Equestria is happening?
[pumpkin firing]
We dodged a bunch of pumpkins.
Fluttershy: It's nothing like your book said it would be!
Me: Looks like we stumbled on to a feud of some kind.
Shiv: Can you explain who these feuding groups are?
Me: I honestly have no idea. But from the looks of things, I think we might have stumbled upon a Hatfield's & McCoy's caliber feud.
Nico: Oh boy.
Twilight Sparkle: Hatfield's & McCoys?
Me: They were hillbillies that lived in the Ozarks back in the late 19th Century that were famous for having the most brutal family feud ever known in history.
Twilight Sparkle: Whoa man!
Applejack: Yeah J.D. and Jared told us all about that when we told them about the feud with us and the Pears.
Lincoln: That feud was terrible. Worse than the Apples and the Pears.
Apple Bloom: It sure was.
Twilight Sparkle: Oh, boy. I'm feeling very unprepared. Where do we even start?
[pumpkin firing]
Fluttershy: Maybe by figuring out where the flying pumpkins are coming from?
Poromon: Who do we find first?
Me: Lets head down to where the pumpkins are being fired from.
Nico: I was just about to suggest that.
Fluttershy: Same here.
They loaded a pumpkin into a cannon.
Ma Hooffield: Ready... Aim... Fire!
[pumpkin firing]
SPLAT!
Twilight Sparkle: Um, hi. Hello. Excuse us, but what are you doing?
Ma Hooffield: We're pumpkinin' our neighbors!
Fluttershy: Yes, but, um, why are you... "pumpkining" your neighbors?
Me: That's what we want to know.
Ma Hooffield: Well, because the McColts are just plain rotten. Hey, wait a tick. Who are all of you?! You're not spies for the McColts, are ya?
Me: No we are not spies.
Twilight Sparkle: I am Twilight Sparkle, the Princess of Friendship. And I am here to solve your friendship problem.
Fluttershy: I'm Fluttershy, and... um... I'm here, too.
Me: I'm J.D. Knudson, leader of Team Loud Phoenix Storm.
Nico: I'm Nico Chan, 2nd in Command of the team.
Me: And this is all of Team Loud Phoenix Storm.
They waved.
Ma Hooffield: Ma Hooffield. Pleased to meet ya and it's an honor to meet the famous Team Loud Phoenix Storm.
Buzzard Hooffield: We heard so much about all your adventures and they are amazing.
Me: We get that all the time.
Ma Hooffield: but you're wastin' your time. We don't have a friendship problem. We have... a McColt problem.
"Buzzard Hooffield": And there's absolutely no friendship there.
Twilight Sparkle: Well, maybe there could be if we figure out what the McColts did to make you so mad.
Me: That's right. we have to find out why this feud started and how. Every feud has a cause.
Ma Hooffield: That's true. But they done so many things. Why, just today, they shot pebbles at our farmhouse an' wrecked it.
We saw that the farm was destroyed and gone.
Ma Hooffield: See, we're not very good at buildin', so all it took was a little pebble. But still!
Fluttershy saw a pumpkin full of mice being loaded.
Mice: [squeaking]
Fluttershy: Oh, no!
She grabbed the pumpkin and saved the mice.
Twilight Sparkle: I know what to do. We're gonna talk with these McColts and hear their side of the story. Once we have all the facts, we can put an end to this using reason and rationale.
Me: It's worth a shot.
Fluttershy: Good plan. [to mice] That's why she's the princess.
Twilight Sparkle: In the meantime, could you please call off the pumpkining?
Ma Hooffield: Oh, alright.
Twilight Sparkle: Thanks. C'mon, Fluttershy. C'mon everyone.
Me: Right behind you.
Dark: I'll turn into Dirtdrive to cover more ground.
Me: Okay.
We flew and Dark turned into Dirtdrive and ran fast.
We went to the McColt's fort.
Horsea: (to Tentacool) Are you enjoying being with us so far?
Tentacool: You bet I am. It's awesome.
Lincoln: It's awesome and more.
We arrived and knocked on the door.
[knock on door]
Manaphy: Is anyone here?
Me: I think so. [knock on door]
"Steel Bolts": State your business!
"Rosy Riveter": Don't even bother. They're probably spies for the Hooffields.
"Steel Bolts": Hey, wait! You're an Alicorn! I thought just the three princesses were Alicorns.
Twilight Sparkle: There are 9 Alicorn princesses in Equestria now. I am Twilight Sparkle, the Princess of Friendship.
Fluttershy: And I'm Fluttershy.
Me: I'm J.D. Knudson, Leader of Team Loud Phoenix Storm.
Nico: I'm Nico Chan, 2nd in Command.
Me: And my entire team is here too.
They waved.
Steel Bolts: Wow! It's a huge honor. And who are the 5 new princesses?
Me: 1 of them is a Princess from the Past, Princess Amore of the Crystal Empire.
Nico: And the 4 new ones are Applejack's little sister Apple Bloom, Twilight's Nieces, Flurry Heart, Lilly Crystal and Cloud Star.
Me: It's a long history.
Steel Bolts: Wow! We'll have to hear it later on. But how did the Hooffields get a Princess Spy?
Twilight Sparkle: We are not spies?
Me: I assure you we are not spies.
Twilight Sparkle: Why does everypony assume we're spies?
Me: Well it's a feud and both sides are really paranoid and weary about their surroundings in times of violence like this.
Twilight Sparkle: I see.
[gate unlocking]
The door opened.
Big Daddy McColt: Because we don't get a lot of visitors. I'm Big Daddy McColt. You caught us at a weird time.
Me: Yeah we can see that. It's a pleasure to meet you.
Big Daddy McColt: Same here. It's an honor to meet the famous Team Loud Phoenix Storm. We heard so much about all your adventures. As you can see we're in the middle of a giant feud with our... Terrible neighbors!
[echoes]
The echo was powerful enough to drive the birds away and destroy the Hooffields barn.
[birds squawking] [farmhouse collapses]
Me: Whoa! Nice echo.
Twilight Sparkle: Well, actually, that's why we're here – to solve your problem with the Hooffields.
Me: Yeah.
Big Daddy McColt: So you're here to help us get rid of 'em.
McColts: [whooping, hollering]
Twilight Sparkle: No! That's not what I meant at all!
Me: We're not gonna kill them. They are innocent and our code prohibits us from killing the innocent.
Big Daddy McColt: Well, if you ain't fer us, you're agin' us.
Me: You mean against?
Big Daddy McColt: Yeah sorry.
Poliwag: Can you guys please stop fighting each other? (Does puppy eyes)
Nico: Poliwag I don't think your puppy eyes are gonna work.
Me: We need to figure out why they are fighting. Every feud had to have a motive and why it's going on.
Big Daddy McColt: There is no reason. The Hooffield's are JUST ROTTEN NEIGHBORS!
Me: That is not a good excuse. There has to be a more logical reason as to why you all are in this feud in the first place.
Twilight Sparkle: We are not on anypony's side. We're here to help you become friends again.
Me: That's right. There has to be a reason why you all are fighting in the first place. Is it because of land disputes, anger problems or anything like that?
Big Daddy McColt: Well, we're not really sure but that's gon' be hard. I don't believe we've ever been friends with the Hooffields!
Twilight Sparkle: But you could be! They're just really upset you ruined their farmhouse.
Me: I think it goes deeper than that.
Big Daddy McColt: Wait a hog-wogglin' minute! We only did that because the Hooffields pulled the pin out of our wagon wheel!
The wagon fell.
[wagon collapses]
Me: I got this.
I fixed their wagon for them.
Big Daddy McColt: Oh thank you kindly. A whole week's worth of food rollin' down the mountain. Us McColts are mighty fine builders, but we don't know the first thing about farmin'.
McColts: [whickering]
Big Daddy McColt: We have to travel a ways away to buy our food. Now, we'll be stuck eatin' the pumpkins the Hooffields launched at us. Pumpkin bread, pumpkin soup, pumpkin [mispronounced] quesadillas, pumpkin paella, pumpkin cheese, pumpkin pie, pumpkin frittatas... Actually, that all sounds pretty good. But it'll get old!
Laney: I can give you guys more food.
Laney used her plant powers and grew lots of fruit trees and bushes for them.
Big Daddy McColt: Wow! That's amazing.
Me: But everything you said is good too.
Laney: That's right.
We saw the pumpkins all over the place.
Me: What a mess.
[squirrel squeaking]
Fluttershy gave a piece of food to a squirrel.
Twilight Sparkle: Have you tried meeting at a neutral location, talking about your problems, and really listening to each other?
Big Daddy McColt: What?! No! They'd sooner launch their dinners at us than listen to us.
Me: Really?
Twilight Sparkle: Well, they'll listen to me. I'm an impartial third party.
Me: We all are. We'll go with you.
We went with Twilight.
She used her magic to have her voice turned into like speaking through a megaphone.
Twilight Sparkle: [voice amplified] Attention, Hooffields and McColts! I'm not on anypony's side, but I can see you're both wasting time and resources on being mean to each other. Ponies are supposed to help each other and be kind. So let's stop this senseless fighting!
Me: Wow. Who needs a megaphone when you can just do that.
Twilight Sparkle: It's a spell I recently learned.
Me: Cool.
We flew back.
Twilight Sparkle: [speaking normally] There. That should do it. Ready to go home, Fluttershy?
Fluttershy: I'd love to. But if we solved the problem already, shouldn't our cutie marks be glowing again?
Me: Yeah.
Twilight Sparkle: Oh, yeah. They should be glowing any minute now...
[beat]
Me: Nothing. Our work is not done.
[kersplut]
A tomato hit Twilight's Cutie Mark.
We looked at the other hill.
[kaboom]
A massive bunch of tomatoes were fired at us.
Me: INCOMING!
[whistling]
Twilight Sparkle: Or not.
[tomatoes splatting]
We ducked.
Twilight Sparkle: So much for potential friendship solution number twenty-eight.
Fluttershy: I guess we should find out why the Hooffields are launching tomatoes now.
Me: Lets do my method: Negotiation.
Snake: Just what I was thinking.
Me: They won't go for it. But we'll see.
We went to the Hooffield house and we saw that they were firing tomatoes from slingshots.
Ma Hooffield: One at a time, Greenhoof. If you smoosh them tomaters in the slingshot, they won't break on the McColts.
Me: What the heck is going on here!?
Twilight Sparkle: What are you doing? I asked you to stop fighting.
Ma Hooffield: Oh, is that what you were hollerin' about? We thought the McColts rubbed ya the wrong way. So we tomatered them for ya. My mistake. [to Hooffields] Stop the tomater slingshots!
Snake: Will you guys stop fighting if we pay you all a million dollars?
Ma Hooffield: No thanks. We don't need money.
Me: Told you they wouldn't go for it.
[hay bales falling]
We saw Hay Bales flying at us.
Me: HAY BALES INCOMING!
Ma Hooffield: Reload the tomater slingshots! We're gonna paint their mountaintop red!
Fluttershy: Bleh!
Me: (Spits) Yuck! Sorry Twilight but I don't like hay.
Twilight Sparkle: No worries. Well, that didn't work. I was so sure it would.
Me: Yeah me too.
[hay bales falling]
Fluttershy: [gasps] (Picks up a turtle) It was a good plan. We need to think of another one. And soon. This fight is really affecting the animals around here.
Chione: It sure is.
Twilight Sparkle: Not to worry. I'll just, uh...
[pages flipping]
Twilight Sparkle: ...find the root of the problem and work from there.
A hay bale destroyed their farm again.
[kaboom]
Twilight Sparkle: Pardon us, Ma, but do you remember what started this whole feud in the first place?
Ma Hooffield: They know what they did.
Big Daddy McColt: They know what they did!
Me: We don't.
Twilight Sparkle: I'm starting to think neither of you know what either of you have done.
Big Daddy McColt: Sure, we do. Them Hooffields did us a grave injustice some time ago for some reason.
McColts: Hear, hear!
Firefly: (to the McColts) You know what? I'll just fly over to the Hooffields and ask their side of the story!
Big Daddy McColt: You're wasting your time.
Twilight Sparkle: Okay, backup plan to the backup plan. Maybe we can find some common ground that you can bond over. What do you do when you're not fighting?
Big Daddy McColt: That's easy. Gettin' ready to fight.
Me: Okay that is not right.
Fluttershy: What do you hope to get out of fighting?
Ma Hooffield: The satisfaction of winnin'!
Twilight Sparkle: Of winning what?
[hammering]
Big Daddy McColt: The fight, of course! To prove our family is the best!
Fluttershy: The best at what?
Ma Hooffield: Winnin'! Haven't you been listenin'?!
Twilight Sparkle: So the only thing they have in common is that they both want to win a fight, and neither of them know what it's over. How can I end this feud if I don't know what it's about?
Electro: This is getting us nowhere.
Me: I know. But we'll think of something.
Nico: Yeah.
Me: Yeah there has to be a reason behind this whole feud and why.
Fluttershy: Ooh! Maybe somepony just needs to say they're sorry.
Twilight Sparkle: That's a good idea. And friendship solution number forty-eight. But we can move it up.
Me: Well lets do it.
We made an awesome apology cake and it looked amazing.
Twilight Sparkle: I'm so glad you agreed to do this. This apology cake will go a long way to making amends between you two. Which part of my argument changed your mind? The part where I said the benefits of friendship outweigh the cost of war, or the part where I said forgiveness is an investment in happiness?
Ma Hooffield: Yeah, yeah. All of it.
Twilight Sparkle: Wait. Are you even listening to me?
What we didn't know however is that the cake was really a Trojan Horse that hid all the Hooffields inside it for an ambush strike.
We arrived at the McColt fort.
"Steel Bolts": Who goes there?!
Ma Hooffield: It's Ma Hooffield.
"Steel Bolts": Hooffield alert! Arm the cannons!
They had cannons ready to fire.
Ma Hooffield: With an apology cake!
"Steel Bolts": Did you say "cake"? As in... [slurps] cake?
Me: Uh yeah she did. With a little help from Pinkie Pie here.
Ma Hooffield: Consider it a gesture of goodwill from us to you.
McColt Guards: [slurping]
"Rosy Riveter": I haven't had cake in ages.
Me: Tantalizing isn't it?
"Steel Bolts": Open the gates!
[gates open]
"Hacksaw McColt": [sniffles] Oh, it's such a bee-utiful cake.
Me: All cakes are beautiful.
Twilight Sparkle: Think of this as more than just a cake. It's the first step in the long road to forgiveness.
Fluttershy: Nothing says "let's be friends" like a cake that says, "Let's be friends!" [hushed] I wrote that in icing on the top.
Me: Cute.
[cracking]
Me: Uh oh, tell me that this is not what I think it is.
The Hooffields bursted out of the top!
Hooffields: For glory!
They threw cake at them!
A net trap caught them.
Hooffields: Whoa!
Big Daddy McColt: McColts! Assume Delta Force formation!
Nico: Uh oh! That's a Delta symbol charge formation.
McColts: Yah!
They went at them.
They charged down the hill.
[both families shouting]
Ma Hooffield: Ready... aim... fire!
[sproing]
They fired carrots, watermelons and cupcakes at the McColts.
[food falling]
They had shields ready
Twilight Sparkle: Ma Hooffield, you planted ponies in that cake?!
Me: You turned that cake into a Trojan Horse!?
Ma Hooffield: Yeah! [laughing] Wait. What's a Trojan Horse?
Me: It was an old ambush method we humans that used thousands of years ago.
Ma Hooffield: Really? Didn't know that. Wait, Were you serious about apologizin'? Why in Equestria would we do that?
Massive fight clouds broke out and the Hooffields and McColts were beating the living shit out of each other.
Ma Hooffield: We didn't do anythin' wrong!
Carrots hit the shields.
Big Daddy McColt: What're you talkin' about?! You done so many things wrong!
Ma Hooffield: Not as many as you!
Ma Hooffield and Big Daddy McColt: [growling]
[both families fighting]
They were FEROCIOUSLY BEATING THE FUCKING CRAP OUT OF EACH OTHER WITH INCREDIBLE FEROCITY!
Me: This just went from bad to worse!
The whole valley turned into a warzone as the families were brutally pulverizing and pounding each other.
Fluttershy: Um, if you could just not yell so much or maybe stop saying words altogether...
[sounds of fighting]
Carrots stuck around her.
Fluttershy: Wah! Twilight?
Me: Huh? Twilight?
She pulled out her book and was ripping pages out.
[pages ripping, magic zaps]
Twilight Sparkle: [sighs]
Fluttershy: Um, Twilight? We should probably get back there. I mean, if you need a break, that's fine, but I really can't do this without you.
Me: Neither can all of us.
Twilight Sparkle: I don't know if we can do this at all. Even if I make things right, they're just gonna fight again.
[critters chittering]
The animals were heard and Fluttershy saw them.
Fluttershy: Hey, little fellas. Oh, that's okay, you can come out.
[various critters chittering]
The animals came.
[groan]
Twilight Sparkle: What was that?
[critter stomachs rumbling]
Me: Sounds like they are hungry.
Fluttershy: Oh, you poor things! There isn't enough food here for you! Oh, brrr, and you're freezing! I'm gonna take you all home with me and get you all hot cocoas. How do you feel about book clubs?
Twilight Sparkle: I don't get it. This was supposed to be the most beautiful valley in all of Equestria. What happened?
Me: Yeah this whole valley turned into a battlefield.
[squirrel chittering]
A squirrel talked to Fluttershy.
Fluttershy: What's that? Oh! Uh-huh... Twilight, everyone! They know what happened here!
Twilight Sparkle: What?
Me: The animals do?
[sounds of fighting]
Twilight Sparkle: Stop! You have to listen to me!
[splat]
A cupcake hit her.
Me: EVERYONE SHUT THE HELL UP!
I fired a blast of Equestian Magic and froze them in place.
Nico: That oughta hold them long enough.
Me: Alright! Fluttershy has something to say to all of you!
Nico: That's right!
Me: Now listen. Please. Go ahead Fluttershy.
Fluttershy: [raised voice] Before you keep fighting, there is something you should know! Long ago, there were two best friends...
FLASHBACK SHOWS THE ANCESTORS OF THE HOOFFIELDS AND MCCOLTS
Fluttershy: [voiceover] ...Grub Hooffield and Piles McColt.
(They were the ancestors of the Hooffield's and McColt's.)
Fluttershy: When they found the valley between the Smokey Mountains, they knew it was something special. So they made a promise to each other to protect and preserve the valley for all its adorable furry inhabitants. But they disagreed on how to go about it. Grub wanted to start by planting crops so that everypony would have something to eat. But Piles thought it would be better to start by building a shelter to protect them against the cold and wind. The two ponies were unable to come to an understanding, so Piles went ahead and built a shelter anyway, exactly where Grub was gonna start his farm! Grub was upset, so he tore down Piles' shelter so he could plant his crops!
(He destroyed his shelter.)
[crash]
Fluttershy: [voiceover] They kept fighting back and forth, until it turned into a feud!
The feud was raging on back and forth.
Fluttershy: [voiceover] The valley suffered from the constant destruction, until finally the Hooffields and McColts moved to separate mountains.
It was getting worse and worse by the day, month by month, year after year.
FLASHBACK ENDS.
Fluttershy: Even then, the valley and all the animals in it continued to be caught in the crossfire. You see? By fighting, you're destroying the very thing that brought you here in the first place! So it's time you both put your differences aside and come together! If not for yourselves, then for the sake of these cute and cuddly guys!
Me: That's right! This feud has to stop now! You are letting a stupid and unreasonable feud get out of hand and it's hurting all the animals here and starving them and you're freezing them! And it's not just them but it's also you guys. You're starving too and using food as weapons and depriving the animals and yourselves of your good health and livelihoods! End this feud! NOW!
They realized that we were right.
Big Daddy McColt: Aw, shucks, we never meant to hurt you little critters.
Ma Hooffield: Yeah, we're sorry!
[squirrel chittering]
Fluttershy: They say they accept your apology.
[beat]
Big Daddy McColt: Uh, J.D.? You can unfreeze us now.
Me: Oh sorry.
Everyone came down.
Me: Now Brittney has something to say.
Brittney: Right. And this feud has to end. Because hatred only breeds more hatred and if you keep this up, this is the future you are heading to. You know about the Windigos?
Ma Hooffield: What about them? They are a myth.
Brittney: No they are all too real. And I am the Empress of Darkness and their master. This is where you are heading if you let hatred and fighting rule over your lives for far too long.
Brittney transformed and showed the dark future coming.
Brittney: (Singing Divinely in a Transylvanian Accent)
I see a cold wind blowing through
I see days neither fun nor free
I see a future caused by you
I see a path not meant to be
The future should be filled with magic
Dreams and wishes brought to life
But the days ahead are dark and tragic
No time for hope when all is strife
Whatever might have been
All the dreams that ponies share
Because of you and your families
Now the future is a cold nightmare
They saw the Windigos with Brittney. The whole Smokey Mountains were engulfed in eternal winter and the Hooffield's and McColt's were no where to be seen as their home and hearts were frozen in ice in a Frozen Hell.
Brittney: This is what will happen if you keep fighting like this. The Windigos feed on hatred and fighting and more you fight, the colder your hearts will become. And you will be forever frozen in ice. Forever trapped in the cold of Cocytus. Your hearts will be as dark and cold as the voids of space. Do you want that?
Ma Hooffield: No we don't.
Brittney snapped her fingers and reverted everything back and she powered down.
Big Daddy McColt: Ma Hooffield? We promise we won't fight you no more.
Ma Hooffield: Us too, except we promise not to fight you. I suppose it doesn't matter who's right. We're both wrong.
Big Daddy McColt: That's one thing we can agree on.
Big Daddy McColt and Ma Hooffield: [spits]
They spit in the hooves and shook.
[critters chittering]
The critters cheered.
[teleportation zap]
Twilight Sparkle: This is wonderful! I am so proud of you two!
Me: We all are.
Ma Hooffield: Aw, thanks, princess. And Thanks Team Loud Phoenix Storm though I would just like to point out that I was the, uh, first to admit I was wrong.
Big Daddy McColt: That may be, but I promised not to fight first. That counts for more!
Ma Hooffield: Oh, yeah?!
[critters chittering]
The critters were telling them to stop and we glared at them.
Brittney had a blue flame in her hands and it showed the future again.
Ma Hooffield: Oh, all right. We don't have to speak animal to know what y'all are sayin'. Truce?
Big Daddy McColt: Truce.
We smiled.
[sounds of work and critters chittering]
Me: Log of Friendship entry #114: The Old Textbook Family Feud Scenario... And even though there is a textbook solution to it, sometimes when a feud gets out of hand, it's best to show them the future and reveal what will happen.
Nico: Yep.
Laney helped repair the damage done to the valley and all that and Varie gave them new water and all that.
Big Daddy McColt: Woo-hoo! Ain't that a pretty sight?
Me: It sure is. That fountain is beautiful.
Ma Hooffield: Sure is! The McColts are gonna help us rebuild our homes! Good ones this time.
Big Daddy McColt: And the Hooffields are gonna help us grow some crops!
"Steel Bolts": Not pumpkins.
Me: Don't worry we'll have plenty of fruits and vegetables for you.
Ma Hooffield: Thanks for teachin' us that friendship is so much better than winnin' a silly argument.
Me: Aw you're welcome Ma.
Nico: Friendship has many rewards. Especially when you all work together.
[cutie marks ringing]
Me: Looks like our work here is done.
Fluttershy: Yay! I told you we'd figure it out.
Twilight Sparkle: We did, and we didn't need my friendship portfolio to do it. We just needed each other.
Me: Absolutely.
We hugged.
Twilight Sparkle: So, what do you think will happen next? We've all been called by the map now.
She gave us our backpacks and we all went back to the ship.
Fluttershy: Oof! [straining] I'm sure we'll find out when we get home...
Me: Here I'll take those for you Fluttershy.
Fluttershy: Thanks J.D.
Twilight Sparkle: What if it summons all six of us to another place? Or another pony we weren't expecting? [gasps] What if it wants us to solve other kinds of problems, like quantum physics, or why the apple doesn't fall far from the tree?
Me: Lets head home.
Later at the Supreme Grand Tree of Harmony we were gathered and we were at the Chest of Harmony.
Me: Well here we go guys. It's time to see what's in the chest.
The Chest glowed and the keys all went in it.
Nico: Now what?
Twilight Sparkle: We have to turn all the keys at the same time.
Me: All right.
We grabbed the handles.
Me: On my mark. 3...2...1... Mark.
We all turned all the keys at the same time and the chest opened and released a massive surge of rainbow energy that shot out of the chest and it hit the Grand Tree and supercharged and energized it and we were entombed in huge pillars of light and we transformed. We all were now in SUPER ANGEL 100,000,000 POWER! IT WAS INCREDIBLE! OUR POWER WAS SO MINDBLOWINGLY STRONG AND POWERFUL THAT IT WAS FELT ALL OVER THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE! AND WE NOW HAD RAINBOW HIGHLIGHTS IN OUR HAIR! All over Equestria all our friends were supercharged and the power they got was exponentially greater than anything! All the 23 Villains all over Equestria and in Tartarus felt the immense power and they screamed in excruciating pain as the power of the 12 Elements of Harmony was damaging them beyond all forms of recognition and all their dark powers were being stripped from them and more. Even the Dark Orb that brought Tirek, Evil Cozy Glow and Chrysalis back was destroyed! King Sombra was stripped of his darkness powers and more and the villains were all powerless. They were now easy targets for us to take down when the war comes on April 12th. Then we saw a pillar of rainbow energy go high into the sky and it hit the estate and we felt a massive earthquake and then a massive tree exploded out of the ground and it had a trunk made of rainbow crystal and leaves of rainbow colors and the tree turned all of the estate into a huge World Tree and it was overflowing with fruit and amazing power and it had transformed into a massive ultra-city tree and it was incredible! The tree was over 100 miles tall and it was 1,000 miles wide at the foliage and the trunk was over 100 miles wide and it was incredible!
We gasped in pure amazement and shock!
Me: (Divine Echoing Elemental Voice) WHOA! Look at the size of that tree!
Nico: (Divine Echoing Elemental Voice) Wow! That tree is incredible!
Eli: (Divine Echoing Elemental Voice) WOW! I think this tree is our new home!
We went up to the tree and saw that it was MASSIVE!
Me: Wow!
Varie: Wow! It's like the World Tree of Friendship!
Princess Celestia: That's because it IS the World Tree of Friendship and it's your new Estate.
Princess Luna: Your dream lead you all to the 12 keys and helped you all achieve a great and powerful force. This force helped you all in more ways than ever.
Princess Cadance: And that force is friendship.
Me: Wow.
We went in and checked out the awesome city at the top of the World Tree of Friendship. We looked outside and we saw that it had a huge and tremendously incredible view of the Earth as well as a massive watch over all the continent. We saw that there was enough room for not just us but many friends all over the universe and even the Masters of Evil. We were awestruck that it had so much. And this was the beginning of an incredible new home and an incredible new adventure and the next level of our adventures.
THE END
Another awesome fanfic complete.
The Hooffields and McColts episode of My Little Pony was a fierce episode and it reminded me of the Hatfields and McCoys feud from over 140 years ago and that was a dark time that will forever haunt the Ozarks for generations. NicoChan11, JediAvatarOfShinobi, Omegahatchiyak12, XP4Universe and ninjakingofhearts all gave me the ideas for this one. Thanks guys. Next up is where we finally meet the Cyborg 00 team and help them destroy the Black Ghost Organization once and for all. We're going to make those terrorists pay for their crimes 1,000-fold. They will be the first to feel the power of the new and improoved Team Loud Phoenix Storm and it won't be pretty.
See you all tomorrow.
