Insane Cafe 4: The Insane Frontier

"There is the cafe place where some ponies go to, but they seem to never have any gems on their menu for some reason. Unless you want some cake or muffins. The Cakes run a shop for that." SPike said, wondering again why the cafe place never seemed to have any gems. Who wouldn't want to order some gems to eat.

"Perhaps when you're older you can have a gem cafe shop." Sara said to Spike.

"Yea, I can have the tasteyest gems in ponyville, even all of equistria." Spike said, liking the idea. "mounds & Mounds of tastey gems." The mental image was starting to get him hungry, an obvious expression of hunger starting to appear on his face.

Trixie just sniffled a bit as Twilight nuzzled her, having not expected that at all and in turn, returned the nuzzle back to her "Trixie isn't sure about that, the others may still hate her, like the rainbow one and the cowgirl one...." she spoke in regards to Rainbow Dash and Applejack before she trotted off after Twilight to catch up to her.

Though she did stay silent at first, walking beside Twilight before she spoke up to her "Trixie thinks she knows why she has hated Twilight all the time....and it wasn't because Twilight had shown her up, well, it was but it was more....jealousy than anything else, at least she thinks so anyway" though her eyes were still a bit watery as she spoke. She looked at Twilight again and took a deep breath "But Trixie would still like to be your....friend...." she finally told her "If Twilight will let her anyway"

"But if Twilight does not wish to be Trixie's friend, Trixie will understand...." Trixie sighed a little, still looking at Twilight before giving her a rather small kiss on the cheek, as if she was trying to at least beg to be Twilight's friend.

Twilight nodded. "Everypony makes mistakes, Rainbow Dash and Applejack will probably forgive you if you apologize."

Her horn glowed as she levitated their order of sandwiches and paid for them.

The dark brown mare who was running the shop bade the two farewell.

"Trixie, I think if you talk with the others, things'll work out," Twilight said as she walked down the streets of Ponyville.

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

Rainbow had scared away the quarry eels with short bursts of 20 mm shells, unfortunately she had to slow down a lot to avoid running into them or getting eaten.

Once she was through, she saw the finish line - and her competitor.

"All right, s--- gets real," she muttered as she opened her throttles to full and set the afterburners on max power. A sonic boom ripped through the air as she went to Mach 2.5.

But that still wasn't enough to cover the distance. She then fed her "zip fuel" into her afterburners. As a result, she felt a sudden burst of speed. As she continue accelerating, her speed topped out at Mach 3.4.

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

"It's Rainbow Dash!" Applejack shouted as the blue Pegasus came into view.

"Where's Rainbow?" Ms. Swimmer asked.

"I believe your companion has lost this race," Rarity replied. "Still, she should be proud that she could compete with the vaunted Rainbow Dash."

Captain Carson spotted Rainbow in the distance with a set of binoculars. Behind the living F-22, trailed a cloud of white smoke and she noticed that the living F-22's afterburner flame had changed to a deep green. "She's catching up!"

Trixie just went silent as Twilight told her to talk to the others. Though, she did look at Twilight as she used her magic to levitate a sandwhich in front of herself and took a bite out of it before offering some to Twilight as well "Trixie would like to share her sandwhich with Twilight" she smiled a bit to Twilight.

Though, as she offered the sandwhich to Twilight, Trixie also allowed for her tail to wrap around Twilight's tail a bit as well "And Twilight, Trixie wants to ask you another question too....what does somepony do if they are feeling hatred as well as another feeling towards anotoher pony? Because Trixie, she hates Twilight....but she also does.....love her as well.....but Trixie doesn't know what to do about it...."

Agumon and Agumina had retrned to normal size andhad gone over to examine the debris field where the Phoenix had landed " there were impact craters from the battle had taken place, and shards of debris that Chong had not bothered to fix.. "Hmm, theres a lot of stuff around here' Agumina said "Pity we didn't get here in time, we could have helped.. " we'll have to have Stripetail look at it. Tarrax Reached Stripetail and sighed " the wretch got away master. " We'll catch him in due time Tarrax.. the next planet we loanhd on we will all go as a group, instead of seperating.. Stripopetail said..

Geez how many RYNOs have thery made? angela asked " this will be #7 clank replied. " and let me guess it will have 10000 ammo, shoots rockets full of blaarg toxin, and instantly vaporize anything within a city block' Angela sighed "Actually, yes thats exactly what it will do..

Twilight used her telekinetic powers to cut the sandwich in half. "Thanks Trixie."

She then chewed on her half the sandwich. "As for you loving and hating me, well, I can understand that but I don't know what to say.

(Ghastly Gorge)

Rainbow Dash kept up her speed of Mach 1.5. She could see the finish line in sight along with her friends cheering her on.

She looked behind her and saw the form of Rainbow rapidly approaching.

The blue Pegasus gulped and pushed her wings even faster. Soon, she was at her absolute speed - Mach 2.

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

"What's with that green flame?" Captain Carson asked.

"Zip fuel - a highly toxic and reactive fuel made with with a mix of boron hydrides and JP-8 jet fuel. It provides the plane with a substantial boost to range and speed at the cost of stealth and increased engine repairs," Mr. Bigmouth said.

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

A few seconds later, Rainbow Dash and Rainbow crossed the finish line at exactly the same time.

Rainbow Dash circled around and landed while Rainbow had to continue flying to burn off her excess speed. Her afterburner flame was no longer deep green but a nearly invisible blue.

Heck of a race! Cynder cheered. " Nice work both of you.."
A tie is better than losing at least " spyro said, as the spectators gathered around Rainbow Dash. ' nice work Dulcy smiled at her. "You're really fast. Perhaps I should introduce you to my friend Sonic? Hes real fast too..

MrDrake · **Reply #547 on:** February 05, 2012, 04:18:04 AM

Trixie stopped for a second before she rushed ahead a bit and stopped in front of Twilight to stop her "But Trixie does love Twilight....and...." she then paused as she got an idea "A...date? Would Twilight then like to go on a date with Trixie? Would that help Twilight decide?" she asked hopefully "Because Trixie can show Twilight a good time on a date" she then leaned in and nuzzled Twilight a bit "Please? Trixie would at least like a chance to prove to Twilight that she is good enough to be her....girlfriend..."

Scootaloo had watched the entire race, but her mouth had hung open when she saw that it was a tie "That's not fair! Rainbow Dash should've won that race!" she called out with a bit of a groan to boot as well.

miss Kitty And Tiger had joined the group heading back to Winterville " well that was a very nice little village, i really liked that store with the cute pony dresses.. " kitty I don't think there are too many guy ponies here, all the clothes seem to be for girls..and that pony asked me if she could comb my fur.. no thank you.. I like it limp and a bit greasy..'

Stripetail meanwhile was sitting on a bench in front of the local bakery, he gestured and it showed an image of the area with multiple colored dots, each dor had a name on it, from this Stripetail could see where each member of his team was. agumon and agumina where near canterlot, while Spyro and Cynder were near a canyon to the north. scooby tiger stitch, ratchet kopa Kovu and thier partners were all onboard the Spire of Winter

Aimee had decided to head back to the ship by that point, finding no need to stay on the planet for now anyway "Hailey....I just hope you know what you're doing with whatever plan it is you're putting together, heck, I just hope that you're fine...." she muttered to herself.

***Cut to***

Hailey dodged the swing of the blade asthe chain swung above her head, just out of reach "This is suicide" she grumbled a bit to herself as she stepped backwards and rolled out of the way of another swing of Kratos' blades.

The vixen was facing off against Kratos on another planet by that point. But why she was fighting him was a different story altogether and already, she was regretting having ever mentioned that Kratos join their side of the war to take place, as now Hailey was just trying to survive against him.

"Alright, alright! I'm sorry!" Hailey called out as she again, dodged his blades "It was just an offer, you didn't need to go and attack me because of it!"

Kratos just narrowed his eyes "I have already served the Gods of Olympus, but no more, I will serve no one else. Your Chong, if he believes that he will control me, then he is already dead to me"

"Yeah, thing is....well, he'll probabally either want to control you, or just outright kill you" Hailey retorted back.

Kratos held his blades in his hands "He can try and kill me if he wishes, I have already died five times and the Underworld has not been able to hold me" and again, Kratos swung his blades at Hailey before using the Boots of Hermes to rush at her, grabbing her by the throat.

Yet, Hailey used this chance to ignite herself in flames, causing Kratos to let go as she stumbled back a little. But that was just it, Kratos instead pulled out the Head of Helios and temporarily blinded her before again, grabbing onto her and kicking her into a nearby rock formation, injuring her.

"I guess you want to be cone of Twilight's assistants?" Spike asked Trixie, "Or are you up to something?" He asked, still not sure of Trixie.

Sara starting to get hungry reached into one of her belt pouches and pulled out a muffin that she started to eat.

MrDrake · **Reply #551 on:** February 05, 2012, 06:47:30 PM

Trixie looked to Spike at that point "No, Trixie's not up to anything, Trixie just wants a date with Twilight....Trixie doesn't want to be her assistant though, she wants to be Twilight's....girlfriend. But Trixie is not up to anything" she told the baby dragon.

Though, she then realized something with Spike "You....you do not trust Trixie? Even though Trixie has been trying her best to be nice? Is that still not good enough? Because what else can Trixie do to make everypony trust her? Trixie just feels so....alone in this world.....Trixie knows what she did last time was wrong and she has been trying to make things right now...."

She then glanced at Twilight, then to Spike again "But Trixie isn't up to anything as she said....Trixie....she does....love Twilight...." by that point, Trixie just seemed to be in tears as well, well not fully, just upset light with a few tears in her eyes.

Chong meanwhile was wartching the battle from a nearby tree ' This Kratos is extremely impressive he muttered to himself " I hope Hailey doesn't get hurt TOO badly by him.. " If it seems like he ius beating her too badly I'll step in..

"Time will tell. Like it says in a book I read the first page of." Spike said. Then he looked at Sara, "Do you have another muffin?" He asked.

"Let me see." Sara said reaching into the pouch, which was bigger on the inside then it appeared to be. "I have a few, and some other things." She said, bringing out a chocolate muffin she gave Spike to eat.

"Thanks." SPike said, taking the muffin and starting to eat it.

Rainbow had bled off most of her speed as she circled around, landed in an empty field nearby and shut her engines off.

"Yeah, that was an awesome race!" she said. "By the way, Rainbow Dash, great race!"

"I'm surprised there's somepony as fast as I am!" Rainbow Dash replied. "Of course, I'm still the fastest in Equestria!" She then noticed the rainbow thunderbolt roundel on Rainbow's flanks and twin tails. "Hey, your cutie marks look like mine!"

"What's a cutie mark?"

"A cutie mark shows a pony's special talent," Rainbow Dash replied.

Rainbow gave a quizzical look at Rainbow Dash. "It's just the emblem of the Silverbolts aerobatics team."

"I must say, your flight was second only to Rainbow Dash's flight. Though I have to admit, the trail of fire you leave is quite remarkable," Rarity said. "Though your coat could use a good grooming."

Rainbow looked at herself. Thankfully, she had nearly 360 degree vision. Rarity was right, her wings, tails and parts of her fuselage were missing paint, exposing the grey undercoat. Not to mention, the area around her rear jet exhausts had the white encrustation of boron oxides clinging to it.

Major Lockie, Captain Fairchild and Lt. Martin landed next to the Silverbolts flight leader.

"That was quite a race," Captain Fairchild said.

"So is there a hotel we can stay at?" Captain Carson asked the gathered ponies.

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

Twilight nodded. "Okay." Truth be told, she was starting to feel some attraction to

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

Ms. Swimmer and Mr. Bigmouth were exploring Everfree Forest. Two ordinary soldiers guarded them. The setting sun tinted the landscape a beautiful orange color.

Ms. Swimmer wore her twin bracelets and had her dual sticks with her. Mr. Bigmouth had a notepad along with the tricorder that had been loaned to him. His rifle dangled from a sling. A messenger bag dangled from his other shoulder.

"So exactly what are we doing?" the first soldier asked.

"We're doing some scientific surveys," Mr. Bigmouth replied as he examined a strange plant and took some notes. He used a set of forceps to take a sample and put in a small container, which was placed in his messenger bag.

"Be careful though, I've heard they got poachers here," Ms. Swimmer said.

"Like that's a problem," the other soldier scoffed.

Mr. Bigmouth rolled his eyes as he jotted down some notes on a metallic flower. "It is; to the inhabitants of this planet, we're basically exotic wildlife."

The group remained silent as they continued along a relatively disused footpath.

Trixie looked to Twilight when she said okay. That had indeed, made Trixie feel happier inside herself "Trixie will make sure that Twilight has the best time on our date and...." she then realized something "But first, Trixie needs to go and do something else for Twilight" she gazed back at the library, then to Twilight again "She needs to go and fix something...."

Though she first approached Twilight and stood just a few inches away from her before she gave her a quick kiss upon the lips before she headed off for the library. As she arrived at the library, her horn started to glow and slowly, rather slowly, she started to fix things, uncertain as to how long it would take to make things all better again, starting with picking up a book, cleaning all the soot off it and stacking it, followed by a second and then a third, slowly but surely, starting to clean each book one by one.

***

"Hotel?" Pinkie Pie pipped up as she was seen standing next to Captain Carson with no explained reason "What about at the library? I'm sure there's room there!Oooh, oooh, oooh! Or there's Applejacks farm! No wait! Rarity's place! Actually! Fluttershy's would be best!"

"Actualy Pinkie....I'd rather not...." Fluttershy added in, a bit unsure about Pinkie's last idea herself.

(Kratos' world)

Hailey groaned as she fell to the ground before standing up again "Wow, that's smarts...." she muttered as she looked up as she was grabbed by Kratos again and thrown across the area yet again "So, you can't die? I'm sure that....Chong could use that on his side...."

Kratos again, approached Hailey "Not anymore, Hades is dead, so the Underworld is now useless"

"But Hades is a God and Gods, well....they can't die! They're suppose to be immortal!" Hailey yelled as she got back up again.

"Their immortality still didn't save them, and neither will whatever will be helping out Chong" Kratos narrowed his eyes at Hailey "He will die, and so will you, I serve no one"

Hailey just gulped "Um yeah....about that...." she hessitated before Kratos grabbed her and this time, stabbed her in the stomach with one of his blade before throwing her over his shoulder and onto the ground nearby.

Nick22 · **Reply #556 on:** February 06, 2012, 11:12:59 PM

Chong decided to step in. ' most impressive Kratos ' he grinned as he jumped down from the tree an stood across from him. 'You fight like a man posessed by some unquenchable hatred. I could really use someone like that..' chong headed over to hailey and gazed at her. blood was pooling beneath her. he turned her over. chong could tell Chong was a master at stabbing. the wound hwas clean deep and excellented lplaced, if you wanted to kill somkeone. Chone muttered a spell under his breath and the wound slowly closed. " i would love to see you fight Stripetail. I daresay that old furtail has never faced a foe with your skill with the blade..

MrDrake · **Reply #557 on:** February 06, 2012, 11:29:04 PM

"As I have already told Hailey, I serve no one, not even you Chong" Kratos answered back, pointing a blade at Chong as he did so "My fight is not with this Stripetail" he added in, eyes narrowed at Chong ever so slightly as he gripped his blades tighter.

(Ponyville)

As Trixie was starting to clean up the library, she started to hum away as well until she opened up her mouth for a tune away "Book by book, ash is removed, books are being cleaned. Trixie will fix what she had destroyed. Cleanliness is everything, Trixie will fix everything, all for Twilight" she had started to sing as the books had been finished being fixed up and were all clean.

Her gaze had then shifted to the shelves "Shelves being cleaned, books being put away, all will be fixed. Trixie knows what she did was wrong, but Trixie will make things right, she is cleaning Twilight's library" she had then sung for the second verse as she finished putting away the books, and in their proper place too.

But then her gaze shifted to everthing else that was still dirty as she started to use her magic in order to clean the rest of the library "[/i]Twilight's library will be cleaned, Twilight's library will be returned to what it used to be, all spic and span, not a dirty spot to be found, Trixie is cleaning Twilight's library[/i]"

And before long, Trixie had finished cleaning up the library as she smiled to herself "Trixie did not realize that singing made the job go by quicker" but then, her gaze shifted again as she started to use her magic again for one final thing she needed to do.

***

Moments later, Trixie had left the library in order to find Twilight yet again "Trixie hopes that Twilight will love what she has done for her" she again, smiled to herself softly as she trotted off, seeing Twilight in the distance and trotted over to her.

"Pinkie Pie! You scared me!" Captain Carson said.

Applejack pawed the ground nervously. "Well, ah guess ah could let some of you stay in the barn. But y'all gotta help me with the apple harvest in exchange."

"Deal. I just gotta chat with the others."

"We'll just be parked inside the Spire of Winter," Rainbow said.

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

Twilight cantered up to Trixie. "So...thanks for cleaning up my library," she said with a blush. "So what do you want to do now?"

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

(Everfree Forest)

As Mr. Bigmouth finished taking notes, he tried to step forward - only to find that he couldn't. He swore as he checked to see if he had stepped in quicksand or a mud pit. He noticed that the metal flower was glowing. He put two and two together. "Shoot the flower!" he ordered.

The soldiers complied, directing a stream of bullets at the "flower", reducing it to scrap metal.

"We better get out of here!" Mr. Bigmouth said.

"Too late," a voice said.

Ms. Swimmer turned around and saw that they were surrounded by a group of ponies - mostly Unicorns but there were a few Earth ponies as well.

"What do you want?" Mr. Bigmouth asked.

"Money," a silver Unicorn said. The emblem of a net was visible on her flank.

"We don't have any. We're just researchers."

The Unicorn laughed. "No, I mean you'll get us the money!"

Mr. Bigmouth gulped; he immediately understood the implications of that phrase! He raised his rifle and aimed it at the Unicorn. "Back off!"

The Unicorn looked at the weapon and laughed. "What's that do?"

The Saurolophus's response was to fire two three round bursts from his rifle, instantly killing her.

Ms. Swimmer drew her dual sticks, which crackled with electricity. The two soldiers readied their weapons.

"We don't wish to kill but if we are forced to, we will," Ms. Swimmer said.

Jason and a few of his friends were standing near some apple trees. Magnum had gone to the tardis to take a nap.

"Apples, nice. I'm getting a bit hungry." Gnash said looking at one of the apple trees.

"Someone likely owns these, see how they are growing in a pattern, that is different then what would happen if they were growing wild, besides there would be a mix of different species of trees." Jason said.

"I agree, it is to ordered and singular of species to be a natural light forest." Velma said.

"maybe he's the owner." Brooklyn said, a hand shielding his eyes as he looked in the distance.

"You folks wait here and hide, I'll go and see if I can go and try to reach an agreement." Jason said, switching to his imperial dragon body, then taking a Pym particle capsule and shrinking down to about 6 feet.

That done he walked off towards Big Macintosh. Who was kicking some trees to get the apples into some baskets that were setting around the tree. Who stopped when he saw Jason approaching.

"Greetings. I wonder if you are the, or one of, the owners of this area and these fine apple trees." Jason asked, waving one of his hands.

"Eeyup." Big Macintosh said.

Jason reached into a pocket and pulled out a small gold bar, about 4 inches long and 2 inches thick and wide. "I wonder if I can buy the apples from one of the trees not to far from here. I have some friends who are a little hungry but a bit shy." Jason said, giving a reason why only he came and not them too. He had no idea what gold was worth locally, except that in most places it was worth enough to more then cover small to medium purchases.

"Eeyup." Big Macintosh said. Jason handed over the gold bar to Big Macintosh who took it into his mouth, biting it to be sure it was real gold. Then he went off to put the gold bar into the area they kept the money from sales, currently in the barn where they lived since they had no stand set up at the moment.

Jason walked back to the area where the others were, still hiding behind trees and such.

"It's ok. I paid for the apples in one tree. Now which one?" Jason asked looking around.

"That one." Gnash said.

"Sure, looks like a good one." Jason said, then looking at Guilmon. "If you would be so kind to shake the apples from at tree I'll get the other stuff ready." Jason said, taking out some mugs, and pouring a bit of essential water into each, no more then an inch or so, enough mugs for each of them, and some tiny baskets that popped to full size once set down. Guilmon digivolved into Growlmon and shook the tree to shake the apples loose.
