The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

(Ponyville)

"Yeah, but I also have to find my friends, they're not where they were last time" Sweetie Belle answered as she looked to where Apple Bloom and Scootaloo were last seen, unaware that the two were hanging out in the APC right now.

***

(Inside the APC)

Scootaloo soon pushed Apple Bloom away "Yeah, you had your....fun" she spoke with a roll of her eyes to boot "Buut we do need to find out where Sweetie Belle's gone....and not to mention that I've gotta go and get my scooter as well" she then looked at her friend "So, I'll be back" and with that, the filly pegasus took off.

Apple Bloom just sighed heavily as she sat down where she was "Well, that failed as well" she muttered to herself, watching Scootaloo taking off to get her scooter, leaving Apple Bloom all alone.

***

Outside, Sweetie Belle saw Scootaloo rush past and looked to where she had come from, seeing Apple Bloom inside the APC all alone.  She then looked to where Scootaloo was heading off to, then to who she was suppose to be showing around Ponyville.

It seemed that they were busy looking around, which Sweetie Belle took the chance to slip away and head to where Apple Bloom was, climbing inside the vehicle and taking a seat next to her friend "So....what happened?"

Apple Bloom shook her head "It's nothing" she grumbled a little "I just wanted to have fun was all, but she doesn't like having any real fun" she rolled her eyes.

"Fun?" Sweetie Belle asked as she looked around, then to her friend again "What kind of fun?"

Apple Bloom grumbled again "I kissed her, but she didn't like it"

"Why would you want to kiss....her? Cause you know how Scootaloo is with the whole love thing" Sweetie Belle told Apple Bloom looking ather with a bit of a stern look upon her face "Besides, how did you kiss her?"

"I just wanted to...." Apple Bloom trailed off "But I did kiss her....on the lips and all that, but I probabally did it wrong"

Sweetie Belle just shook her head, looking outside, then to Apple Bloom as she got an idea and smiled to her friend "Well, you could always....try it on me"

"Yea, I still think you have a hand in all this.  Maybe due to more of your boasting at least some of this happened." Spike said.

---

"So where shall we strike first?" Sara asked.  "Or is this more of a scouting misson?"

Lt. Martin glared at Trixie. "Hey f---wad, has it occurred to you that maybe we're here to stop them!"

"Eltee, forget her! Deal with the ship!" Rainbow shouted. She was thankful that Chong hadn't figured out how to use the point defense lasers on the ship.

Lt. Martin complied, letting loose a volley of high explosive rockets, trying to destroy or at least weaken the shield. Several Pegasi had joined the living planes in bombarding the shield. Granted, the ordnance that the Pegasi used were blast-geodes, fist sized rocks that packed the same explosive force as a hand grenade.

Unicorns of Celestia's guard were hurling bolts of concentrated magic at the ship.

The two ODIN troopers pounded away at the shield with their weapons - a 30 mm railgun and the so-called "magma cannon" - a cannon that used powerful electromagnets to hurl bolts of molten metal at hypersonic velocities - respectively.

The trooper with the magma cannon waited for his cannon to fully charge. It took three seconds to fully charge the capacitors and took ten more seconds to melt the metal slug. Enough time having passed, the soldier pulled the trigger, sending molten metal hurtling towards the floating ship like an incandescent spear forged from the depths of the Earth.

The Pegasi bombarding the ship stopped to watch a white hot bolt of liquid metal scream through the air.

----------------------

"Trixie," Twilight said. "I just got word from the alien representative that the aliens aboard that ship are hostile. And those aliens want those hostile ones taken into custody."

"If you want us to trust you, you'll help us take 'em down!" Rainbow Dash added.

----------------------

The ship rose high enough that the grenades could no longer reach it. Of course, the lasers, machine guns and anti-tank missiles still could.

Nevertheless, the commander on the ground ordered the troops to stop firing, except for the Zenyatta hover tanks.

Trixie narrowed her eyes at Twilight in paticular before it occured to her.  The same ship that she was helping earlier on.  That they were the bad guys all along, and Trixie had helped them like a moron.  Her eye twitched a little bit "They were the hostile ones?" she asked, eye still twitching before she was slapped across the face by Pinkie Pie.

That had snapped her out of her little gaze "Very well, Trixie will help you guys out, even if she really doesn't want to" she added in without so much as a thank you to Pinkie Pie for helping out.

Her gaze then shifted to the ship in the distance as she went back to her boastful ways "Stand back everypony...." and with that, her horn started to glow as she summoned fireworks, quite a few of them as she grinned away and in turn, she fired them off, one by one, hoping to at least, strike the ship in the distance.

"Fireworks? Really?" Pinkie Pie deadpaned.

***

(Ponyville - APC)

Apple Bloom just looked at Sweetie Belle, hessitating for a moment before she sighed and did that, kissing her just quickly upon the lips "There, happy now?"

"Well....that wasn't really all that romantic, no wonder Scootaloo didn't like it" Sweetie Belle told Apple Bloom with a slight grin.

"And I suppose you can do any better" Apple Bloom insinuated.

"Yup" Sweetie Belle smiled back as she kissed her friend upon the lips, but this time, said kiss was held for a bit longer and with more passion.

"Yea, unless you are really on their side." Spike said.  He then took a deep breath and did his best to breath his dragon fire at the ship.    Though his fire didn't go very far.  A foot or so at most.  

-------

Sara was using magic to send some lightning at the ship.  Then changed to sent her fire breath as a bolt of fire at the ship, so the range of her dragon breath would be increased since she could shoot it at the target not unlike a crossbow bolt or arrow.  

-------

"Our weapons are not doing much damage to the ship.  Likely due to it's armor.  The are more personnel types of weapons." Brooklyn said.

"Yea, no good." Gnash said.  

"it's fun though." Guilmon said, sending another pyrosphere at the ship.

"Sam & Betty haven't seen much action & are glad of the fun they are having." Magnum said, meaning his 2 huge pistols, that he had named.  

"Time for us, rangers to combine our weapons." Jason said, and started the process where the other rangers tossed up their weapons.   Once combined they put their a hand on each other's shoulders with 2 hands being on Jason's shoulders.  Then he used the combined weapon to send a blast at the ship.

Soon, Sweetie Belle pulled away from Apple Bloom with a smile "So, what did you think of that? Was it....good? Nice?"

"Well yeah, it was..." Apple Bloom trailed off "No wonder Scootaloo didn't like the kiss last time, but thanks Sweetie Belle, at least I now know the best way to kiss her, so....thanks for the tip" she smiled to her friend.

Sweetie Belle did feel a bit heartbroken at hearing that "Oh, well um....that's...okay...." she spoke as she tried to keep a smile upon her face all the while "Glad....glad you liked the tip..." she sighed a bit.

Apple Bloom just smiled away as she hummed a bit to herself as she waited for Scootaloo to return, oblivious to what was wrong with Sweetie Belle right now.

***

Scootaloo had arrived at the clubhouse where she had left her scooter last, taking her helmet off it and placing it upon her head before getting onto her scooter and at first, slowly started to take off, picking up speed with each passing second.

Soon, the young pegasus was starting to go rather fast on her scooter, her wings flapping along to help her keep the speed up as she started to speed back towards the APC.  If they were going to stow away on the APC, she was at least going to take her scooter with her.

***

(Canterlot)

There was a problem with Trixie's firework rockets as they sped right past their target and exploded, setting off just normal fireworks as Trixie's jaw just dropped open "Trixie....missed?" she asked herself before her eyes just narrowed.

Again her horn started to glow and instead of smaller rockets, she summoned a bigger rocket which did seem to be a rather dangerous one.  An illegal one for that matter as on the side of it, it read "The Atmospheric Disturber 3000"

Chong had magicked everyone onbioard the ship. the shield was holding despite everything being thrown at it, but Chong was aware that it wouldn't hold up against his most powerful magical foes. " hailey! drive this thing out of here! he commanded " we need to get away before the squirrekll or his pet dragon arrive!
 Ponyville
 Stripetail his group had largely stayed behind, while getting a grasp of the area..

Major Lockie immediately radioed Stripetail. "Stripetail! We need you and Tarrax here immediately! Chong's getting away and we can't seem to break the shield he put around Nick's ship! Even destroying the engines didn't help!"

Rainbow and Lt. Martin were careful to avoid Trixie's fireworks. Even though they were not technically weapons, they could be as destructive as any true anti-air missile.

--------------------

Seeing as none of their weapons could penetrate the shield, the soldiers - both the ones from the Spire of Winter and the Royal Guard - called off their attack.

--------------------

Twilight looked at her friends. "Maybe if we use the Elements of Harmony, we can destroy the shield and the aliens can take the ship down. Trixie, you help the aliens bring the ship down."

"Worth a shot!" Rainbow Dash said.

She retrieved a case from her saddlebag that contained the focusing crystals. She quickly tossed the necklaces to her friends and donned the tiara.

--------------------

Major Lockie nodded as he heard Twilight's plan. "All right, once the shield goes down, hit the ship with everything you've got! No wimping out!"

--------------------

(Ponyville)

Mr. Bigmouth, Ms. Swimmer and Zachary were walking around town. They were chatting with the ponies to try and break the ice.

Dr. Zanasiu, Deimos and Captain Carson were sitting inside an APC that was pressed into service as a command post. The APC in question was the one where the CMC had stowed away in.

"F---!" Deimos shouted as he heard what Major Lockie reported.

Captain Carson sighed. "Let's hope Princess Celestia responds quickly."

"Can't we just leave and head after Chong?"

Captain Carson shook her head. "We need her help."

Hailey nodded her head and rushed towards the front of the ship, recalling what to do since last time as she started it up before she started to steer it away from the planet, heading towards the atmosphere of it.

***

Trixie narrowed her eyes at Twilight "What do you think Trixie has been trying to do? She is not shooting rockets at the ship for fun" she gritted her teeth as she in turn, summoned a few more rockets to her aid before firing the smaller ones, followed by the Atmosheric Disturber 3000.

The rockets all seemed to miss and exploded, followed by a blinding flash of light from the most dangerous one, yet, when the light cleared, the ship was still moving.

"Aww, tough luck Trixie" Pinkie giggled as she put on her necklace, only to be shoved aside by Trixie as her horn started to glow again as again, she summoned more rockets above her "Hey! that wasn't very nice!" Pinkie Pie bounded back up.

Fluttershy put her necklace on as she in turn, spoke up quietly to Trixie as well "Um excuse me Trixie, but the rockets don't seem to be doing anything, just setting off fireworks, perhaps we should um, trying with the Elements of Harmony instead?"

"No!" Trixie snapped back "I am not going to let Twilight outshine Trixie a second time! Trixie will show Twilight she she is better than her!"

"Oooh! Somepony's jealous!" Pinkie again, giggled.

"Trixie! Now's not the time to let your ego get in the way!" Rainbow Dash shouted.
 
Twilight's eyes flashed a brilliant white as streams of magic flowed from her friends' necklaces and onto her tiara. Once enough charge had been accumulated, a massive rainbow colored beam shot from the gem on the tiara aimed right at the fleeing starship.

Major Lockie watched the beam. "Everyone! Once that shield goes down, hit it with all you've got!"

Captain Fairchild circled the area. He hoped that the shield went down before the starship exceeded his flight ceiling.

"Yea," Spike said, seeing what Twilight & the others were doing.   "do it, you can do it." He said, his hands clenched into fists as he cheered them on.

--------

"I wonder if we can get through their field or screen." Brooklyn said.

"In my experience if you do enough damage usually that will bring down most screens or force fields, the key is doing enough damage." Jason said.

"I can do this all day." Magnum said, continuing to shoot both off his huge pistols at the ship.

Trixie narrowed her eyes at Rainbow Dash and fired a rocket in her general direction before firing the rest of the at the ship alongside the rainbow.

***

Hailey's eyes looked back at what was approaching "A rainbow? Really?" she shook her head and flicked a few switches before the engines lit up and the ship in question started to speed away from the planet in order to outrun said rainbow.

***

Back on the planet, Trixie just stood there as she watched the ship fly away with a simple "Hmph" to boot as she turned and started to walk off.  At least the hosite aliens were gone in her eyes, even if she didn't destroy the ship itself.

"And just where do you think you're going?" Pinkie asked Trixie as she bounded over to her.

"Trixie is leaving, she has done her part to help you ponies out" Trixie replied back as she still attempted to leave, yet, Pinkie refused to allow her to leave "Move it, Trixie has said it before, and she'll say it again in case you weren't listning, Trixie is leaving now, and you will not be following her"

Twilight sighed as the beam missed. She took off her tiara and placed back into the case.

By now, the starship was at 35,000 feet and climbing.

Major Lockie uttered a remarkable stream of profanity. He the radioed Stripetail and Tarrax. "Stripetail and Tarrax, the ship's already taken off but Captain Fairchild has severely damaged the engines so we may be able to catch it easier. Major Lockie out."

"Trixie! You get yer rump back here before buck you across Equestria!" Applejack shouted.

"Well, I guess there's nothing left to do but go back to Ponyville," Rainbow Dash said. She then turned to Rainbow, the living F-22. "Speaking of which, that race is still on."

The troops and vehicles from the Spire of Winter were packing up and slowly heading out.

Twilight waited for a royal guard chariot to pick them up.

-------------------

(Ponyville)

Captain Carson swore as she heard what Major Lockie said. She got up and ran into the CMC. She then sighed. "All right, since it seems like you're going to be following me around a lot, could I at least learn your names?"

Meanwhile, Dr. Zanasiu and Deimos were arguing whether to wait for Princess Celestia's message or simply take off and chase down Chong.

Trixie stopped as her eyes gazed back towards Applejack before speaking "Trixie has already done what she was asked to do, so she does not need to stay around anymore" she seemed to insist.

"But Trixie we could always-" Fluttershy started, only for Pinkie Pie to cut her off.

"We could always use your help, because I'm sure that the aliens will want our help in tracking down the aliens that had escaped and I'm sure that you'll also be of help and that you can always prove to Twilight that you're better than her" Pinkie Pie told Trixie without so much as a breath as she bounded around.

"Prove that she is better than Twilight? Trixie does like that idea" Trixie looked towards Twilight before turning and walking towards the other unicorn "Very well, Trixie will help out for now and she will show that she is better than Twilight is" she sneered lightly, her face now just inches away from Twilight's face "You just got lucky last time is all"

***

"I'm Apple Bloom, that there's Sweetie Belle and this here is Scootaloo" Apple Bloom introduced herself and her friends to Captain Carson, but yet, quietly added in something to Captain Carson so that her friends couldn't hear her "Um, do you have any tips on dating either? or love? Sweetie Belle sorta helped out, but I don't know is all...."

Spike shaded his eyes as he watched the ship flying away, "Gosh, I guess you ponies scared them off." He said.

--------------

"I wonder what planet they'll go to next." Sara said looking at the ship in the distance.

-----------

"What do we do now?" Gnash asked.  

"quietly slip away since we're not needed here." Jason said, using his telepathic ability  so the ponies would not notice till after they were gone that the brightly colored strange looking group of 6 were not there anymore & they had not noticed them leaving or where they went, or when.  

"Let's head somewhere alone where we can regroup and think what to do next." Brooklyn said.  

"Good idea." Jason said.

"Well, I'm Captain Sharon Carson," Captain Carson said. "As for dating, sorry, no tips."

---------------

Ms. Swimmer, Zachary and Mr. Bigmouth sat on a bench in the public park. They had earned a couple hundred bits between them doing all sorts of odd jobs for the ponies - everything from helping harvest apples at Sweet Apple Acres to cleaning up Sugarcube Corner to helping demolish an old building.

They noticed that a certain green Unicorn was staring at them, particularly their hands.

"Wow, hands!" Lyra muttered as she twitched with glee.

Ms. Swimmer coughed and jabbed the two with her elbows. All of them stared back at Lyra and moved away.

---------------

(Canterlot)

Rainbow Dash looked at Spike. "For sure we did!" she crowed.

Twilight said nothing in response to Trixie.

A chariot arrived and she along with Applejack, Rainbow Dash and Rarity boarded.

Rainbow sighed. "Well, see ya back at Ponyville!" She then wheeled around and headed for the small town with the other three living planes following.
