(Twilight's House)

Twilight trotted up to the window where Rainbow was. "Yes Rainbow," she said.

"There has been a serious problem. Mr. Bigmouth, Ms. Swimmer and two soldiers were engaged in a scientific expedition in the Everfree Forest. Their whereabouts are unknown but we have reason to believe they were kidnapped," Rainbow said.

Twilight frowned as she levitated a quill and scroll and started writing a letter to send to Princess Celestia. She then turned to Rainbow. "I'll get my friends and we'll meet in the town square to discuss this with your ambassador."

She then trotted out the library to get her friends. In the process, she ran into Spike and Pinkie Pie.

"Spike! Pinkie! The alien ambassador's here and we have a serious situation to resolve!"

Rainbow carefully rolled over to the town square, being careful not to crush anypony.

The three repulsorsleds cruised over the plains at 100 miles per hour.

"Great, we get to blow s--- up," Deimos said. "Erm, are we adequately armed for this?"

(Sweet Apple Acres)

The apple harvest had been finished and everyone had worked up a good sweat.

Captain Carson and Dr. Zanasiu were wiping their faces with washcloths that the Apples had helpfully provided.

(Twilight's House)

Trixie watched as Twilight headed off as she turned to the kitchen again. She had seen that twilight hadn't finished cooking breakfast yet as Trixie sighed to herself, her horn glowing as she started to finish off breakfast for at least herself, but leaving some for Twilight if she were to return in time. of course though, trixie still made sure to make some for Mrs. Swimmer too.

Problem was, what Trixie was trying to finish off cooking, started to burn. Though she was unaware of that as she sniffed "Something smells like it's burning...." she muttered to herself as she looked back at the food and saw black smoke. The look upon her face showed that she was a bit freaked out by it.

Yet, before Trixie had time to retaliate, the pan caught fire as she gulped a bit "Uh oh...." was all she had said as the fire slowly started to spread. Water, she needeed to summon some water as her horn started to glow again as she summoned a pack of ice and threw it at the fire....which didn't do anything to stop it.

She started to step backwards "Twilight is going to hate Trixie for burning down her kitchen...." she gulped, hessitating rather badly already, having no idea on what else to do to stop the fire from spreading.

(Fluttershy's House)

Pinkie stopped where she was as Spike posed the question to her. She had to think on it for a moment, but before she could answer, Twilight arrived as her attention turned to her unicorn friend "I'll go get Fluttershy then!" she called out and bounded towards Fluttershy's house, yet, still hoping that Fluttershy still wasn't feeling upset about before.

Serris · **Reply #722 on:** March 12, 2012, 01:43:38 AM

Ms. Swimmer was awakened by the smell of smoke.

She dashed into the kitchen, seized the burning pan and hurled it out the open window.

She then grabbed another pot, filled it with water and threw it on whatever was still burning.

She then sighed. "Trixie, maybe I should try cooking for now."

MrDrake · **Reply #723 on:** March 12, 2012, 01:47:19 AM

Trixie sighed a little "Trixie is sorry that she burned down the kitchen....well....almost anyway...." she then looked at Mrs. Swimmer and nodded to her "Maybe it is better if Mrs. Swimmer cooks instead of Trixie.....Trixie is not good at cooking, she at least wanted to try, do something else nice for Twilight....but Trixie is sure that Twilight will hate her for trying to burn down her kitchen...." she again sighed and turned around, heading out of the kitchen, feeling a bit down, just because of that.

'Gosh, that sounds bad." Spike said. He started to run behind Twilight, to see what he could do about the situation to help.

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

Brooklyn had finished eating. He and Jason decided to head out to walk around the town.

"Seems like a nice quiet morning." Brooklyn said.

"For how long I wonder." Jason said.

"This looks like a quiet town in general." Brooklyn said, looking around as they walked around.

we should be fine. i've got my magic, as does agumon and tigress. ratchet has his blaster and the others have thier rings.. Stripetail replied " i trust you brught your guns and ammo?
he said as the sleds raced out towards the town..

Serris · **Reply #726 on:** March 12, 2012, 11:07:18 PM

Deimos nodded. "Got James's shotgun, Zachary's rifle, my own .50 caliber rifle and another crate of rifles and shotguns for whoever wants to join. And I have my pistol. And of course, lots of ammo."

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

(Sweet Apple Acres)

Applejack looked over the group. "Well, thank ya kindly for yer help," she said.

Dr. Zanasiu worked out a kink in his back. "No problem."

Captain Carson drank some water from the hose.

Joan was sitting against a tree.

Suddenly Twilight ran up to the group. "Everypony! Meet in the town square! The alien ambassadors have a serious situation to resolve!"

She then teleported to Rarity's boutique.

Zachary let loose a stream of profanity as he ran towards the town square.

Joan's powered armor let her run but the powerful artificial muscles gave her a strange loping gait.

Kor · **Reply #727 on:** March 13, 2012, 12:23:26 AM

"Sounds like something is up. Let's go and see." Brooklyn said. He and Jason flew into the air and followed the other ponies, especially the Pegasus ponies they saw heading in the same direction, figuring they knew where the town square was.

Spike took off running to the town square, hoping he'd be in time to know what was going on.

MrDrake · **Reply #728 on:** March 13, 2012, 05:23:04 PM

Pinkie Pie knocked on Fluttershy's door "Fluttershy!"

"Go away, I'm not here" Fluttershy answered back, sounding rather annoyed by the sounds of it.

"But...!" Pinkie began, only for Fluttershy to interupt her.

"I don't want to talk to you Pinkie...." Fluttershy replied back.

Pinkie Pie just groaned as she opened up the door regardless "But Twilight needs our help! The aliens are in trouble!" she flaied her front hooves around.

Fluttershy sighed a little "Well, if Twilight wants help, then I guess I can help her our" she answered, still just annoyed by what Pinkie Pie had done earlier on. Well, that, and she was just unsure as to how to handle it herself, and for now, didn't really want to talk to Pinkie about it as she trotted off towards the town square, leaving Pinkie all alone.

***

(Town Square)

Pinkie Pie however, still appeared next to Twilight with a big grin upon her face "She loves me, she just doesn't know how to say it is all" she told Twilight, still going off from what was happening at Fluttershy's place.

Fluttershy arrived at the town square, looking at Pinkie for a moment, just wondering how she arrived here before she did. But for now, she just shrugged it off as another Pinkie thing.

Kor · **Reply #729 on:** March 13, 2012, 06:42:37 PM

Jason & Brooklyn arrived at the town square with some ponies. "Let's remain in the air, it'll give us plenty of room to see." Jason said. He then used his wrist computer to get ready to send a transmission into his tardis where some of his other friends were so they could see what the announcement would be & tie it into what the holographic video camera he took out of a pocket would receive. This was a small device the size of a large marble and he had it float beside where he was. One wall would be used as a display to holographicly display what it was receiving. He also got it ready to relay a signal to Sara's cellphone also, which had a holographic display it could do.

(ooc: if some want to say the ship that some others rode to this planet in, forgot it's name, want to get the transmission they can. Not like Jason has it coded or intends it only for his tardis to receive. )

Serris · **Reply #730 on:** March 14, 2012, 11:43:38 PM

Twilight, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Captain Carson, Zachary and Joan were the first to arrive.

Everypony in town was staring at them as they quickly occupied all the available benches.

Captain Carson deployed a microphone/speaker combination so the living planes could hear and add to the conversation.

"Really Twilight, you should give some advance warning before calling such a larger gathering," Rarity said.

"No time!" Rainbow Dash replied.

"Is everypony here?" Twilight asked.

Captain Carson looked around. "We have to wait for Stripetail, he's arriving with some others. She grabbed the binoculars hanging around her neck and looked in the distance to see the repulsorsleds speeding towards town. "Ah, he should be arriving soon!"

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

(Twilight's House)

"Trixie! Food's ready!" Ms. Swimmer called. She carried out two plates of a delicious looking fruit and pancake platter. The sweet-spicy scent permeated the treehouse.

MrDrake · **Reply #731 on:** March 15, 2012, 07:59:19 PM

Pinkie Pie waved at Fluttershy, only to be ignored by the pegasus as she sighed herself before looking at Twilight. Sure, Pinkie Pie was starting to let her feelings get in the way of what was suppose to be happening, but it was also, in a way, just annoying her somewhat too, that Fluttershy didn't seem to care back either.

"CUTE MARK CRUSADERS SQUAD RESCUERS! YAY!" those three voices called out from the Cutie Mark Crusaders who were also gathered at the town square. The three fillies were indeed, ready to help out with the resquae operation at hand.

(Twilight's House)

Trixie nodded to Ms. Swimmer and walked over, using her horn to levitate food to her mouth as she started to eat. Yet, Trixie just remained silent for the time being, a bit annoyed that she just couldn't get food cooking correct.

Nick22 · **Reply #732 on:** March 16, 2012, 09:55:59 PM

Stripetail and his group arrived a few minutes later. kopa was the first on his sled to get off, followed by kiara angela, and tigress. agumon and stiotch followed stripetaiul as they approached the others ' ah, a gtood group i see ' Stripetail said 'i was planning on just taking my groupo and going after the captives. but i suppose getting a briefing first is necessary. does any have any idea where they might have been taken?

Kor · **Reply #733 on:** March 16, 2012, 10:34:43 PM

Jason started the holographic camera. First it sent the signal to the tardis which began to display the hologram on a wall of the room where the folks were eating breakfast before they left.

"Some sort of show?" Gnash said , pausing in his eating and watching a cartoon.

"Some sort of announcement." Velma said.

"Not a good one like free waffles." Guilmon said, almost finished with his meal.

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

Then it sent a signal to Sara's cellphone. She took it out and answered it, having the tardis tell her to prepare for an incoming holographic announcement. She set the holographic display on and set the size of the holographic display and volume level so anyone with her could easily see and hear the display.

"I wonder what is up." Sara said.

Serris · **Reply #734 on:** March 17, 2012, 02:02:29 PM

Captain Carson already had her pistol and ballistic vest on. She went up to the sled, grabbed a rifle and a combat helmet.

She then loaded and cocked the rifle. As she slung the rifle from her shoulder, she turned to the CMC.

"Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, Applebloom, this isn't a game. This is a very dangerous mission and we can't risk your lives," she said.

Captain Fairchild's voice cut through the din. "Excuse me, but if we locate where they are being held. Rainbow, Lt. Martin and I can fly over the place and demand that they release the captives or I will reduce the building to a smoking crater."

"I am afraid that is a poor choice," Dr. Zanasiu said. "Such an act could be seen as a declaration of war; we do not want to jepardize the cordial relationship that we have with the inhabitants."

Twilight cleared her throat. "Bridlehem is an industrial city near Trottingham. As Bridlehem has a rather large smuggling operation, I would assume that your crew may have been captured by poachers looking to sell them for a profit."

Joan put her helmet back on. "Let's kick some ass!"

"So what vehicles will we take?" Zachary asked as he grabbed his rifle.

"We can take the dune buggies and repulsorsleds," Captain Carson said.

"Yer dune buggies are at mah farm," Applejack said.

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

(Twilight's House)

Ms. Swimmer looked out the window as she was washing her dishes. There, she saw her fellow crewmembers in the town square.

"Trixie! There's something important in the town square!" she said.

She then grabbed her fighting sticks and ran out.

MrDrake · **Reply #735 on:** March 17, 2012, 07:18:14 PM

"But....Trixie's still eating breakfast...." Trixie muttered as Ms. Swimmer ran out to the town square. She sighed to herself as she finished off her food and headed out after her, heading for the town square.

She rushed up to the group and took a stand beside Twilight, asking her a single question "Twilight, what is going on?"

The CMC though, all sighed as they were told off "But!" Apple Bloom called out first before groaning along with Scootaloo. Sweetie Belle on the other hand, didn't seem to really complain as much as she instead, walked past Apple Bloom, grabbing her friend by the tail and pulling her off to the side as Scootaloo followed suit.

The three young fillies in general, seemed to be just whispering amongst each other, as if they were seeming to formulate their own plan instead.

"So, how are we gonna do this?" Scootaloo asked Sweetie Belle.

Sweetie Belle thought for a moment "Well, Twilight did just say Bridlehem, so we could head there first. Scootaloo, you'll need to go and get your scooter and the trolley too" she explained.

Scootaloo nodded as she turned and rushed off while Apple Bloom turned to Sweetie belle.

"So....what do we do?" Apple Bloom asked.

"We wait" Sweetie Belle answered as she grinned at Apple Bloom lightly as well "But until Scootaloo returns....we could do something else to pass away the time"

"Why're you grinnin' at me like that?" Apple Bloom asked Sweetie Belle, only to be given a quick kiss upon the lips. That in turn, left Apple Bloom's mouth hung a bit open, rather suprised by the kiss.

(ooc: If you lot don't midn too, the plan that the CMC are getting together....that they're keeping it to themselves, as in, no one else knows what they're up to)

Serris · **Reply #736 on:** March 19, 2012, 01:38:53 AM

"Some of the alien ambassadors were kidnapped. We're going to help find them," Twilight said as she looked around.

Captain Carson sat down on the fountain. "All right we need to plan."

"Well first off, we need to take stock of weapons and other assorted gear," Dr. Zanasiu said as he grabbed his shotgun and started sliding in shells.

Joan looked at the crate of weapons and ammo on the repulsorsled. "Well, normally, I'd use a heavy railgun or the 'magma cannon' but since it's a city we want to avoid collateral damage." She grabbed a shotgun and started loading it. "And of course, I've got my suit's strength to back me up."

Ms. Swimmer drew her fighting sticks, which crackled with electricity. "I've got my dual sticks."

Deimos turned to Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Spike, Fluttershy, Twilight Sparkle and Applejack. "So what weapons/skills you got?"

"Ah've got my lasso," Applejack said.

"I'm one of the most powerful mages in Equestria," Twilight added.

"I'm the fastest flyer in Equestria and can do a sonic rainboom!" Rainbow Dash crowed as she puffed out her chest.

"I am skilled at finding gems and fashion," Rarity added. As if anticipating Deimos's response. "I will not use my skills in such a vulgar manner!"

Deimos sighed. He did not want to end up guarding an overly prissy unicorn.

Kor · **Reply #737 on:** March 19, 2012, 02:13:07 AM

"I'm fire proof and can breath fire and my scales are really hard." Spike said, puffing his chest up as he inhaled and let out a small short bit of green fire, the most he could do at his very young age.

--------

"Aren't we going to list ours?" Brooklyn asked Jason in a whisper.

"We were not asked, and i'm not sure if my spare morphers count as weapons, though I do have some like a repeating bowcaster with a blaster built into it and a few other sorts of guns and a few wands and some potions, healing mainly." jason said.

-----------

"it does sound bad." Sara said as she watched and listened to the holographic output of her cellphone.

MrDrake · **Reply #738 on:** March 19, 2012, 03:48:47 AM

"Trixie does have her magic to help out...not as strong as Twilight's magic, but she is still good at using magic" Trixie added in, glancing to Twilight again.

"My party cannon, duh" Pinkie Pie added in herself as she pulled said party cannon out of nowhere.

"But doesn't that just fire...parties?" Fluttershy asked Pinkie Pie, but in a more colder tone towards the pink pony.

Pinkie Pie shook her head as she pushed it around, aiming it for a tree before she fired, and an actual cannon ball was fired from it instead "Usually it does fire parties, but I also can get it to fire other things other than parties if need be" she explained back.

Fluttershy on the other hand, was still a bit worried about said party cannon, but paid no heed for it as she remained on standby for their next move, having not answered the question herself as to what she could do to help out.

***

Scootaloo returned to her two friends with her scooter, towing the wagon behind it. Her gaze glanced at Apple Bloom, seeing her friend's mouth still hung open a little bit "Uh, what's wrong with her?

"Nothing" Sweetie Belle replied back a bit innocently as she jumped into the wagon.

"It wasn't nothing...." Apple Bloom added in, a bit annoyed as she too jumped into the wagon.

"Now, we just gotta stop by Twilight's place, to get a map and a compass, she's gotta have those things around in her library....somewhere" Sweetie Belle told Scootaloo in particular.

"Right" and with what, Scootaloo took off, heading for Twilight's place first.

Serris · **Reply #739 on:** March 21, 2012, 11:02:51 PM

Captain Carson and Zachary returned with the two dune buggies. They got out of the vehicles and shut them off just in time to see Pinkie's party cannon demolish a tree with a cannonball.

"Joan, could you help Pinkie mount the party cannon on one of the repulsorsleds?" Captain Carson asked.

Joan went over to Pinkie and picked up the heavy cannon with ease thanks to her armor's artificial muscles. "You got it!"

"Okay, so who wants to ride what vehicle?" Deimos asked.

"I'm riding one of those dune buggies! Speed is where it's at!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed, hopping in the backseat of the machine gun armed dune buggy.

Dr. Zanasiu took the gunner's seat and manned the dual .50 caliber machine guns on the first dune buggy. Zachary took the gunner's seat on the second dune buggy, this one mounted dual rocket pods.

Deimos and Ms. Swimmer climbed aboard one of the repulsorsleds.

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

(Spire of Winter)

Strut was busy repairing some battle damage on the hull from Chong's attack on the colony ship. All around him, several other mechanics were busy doing repairs as well.
