Applebloom was, in fact, just as ticked as she was in the dream. She wasn't even hard to find. Two hallways, no traps, no bad guys (aside from the blue Spike), just a straight walkway to the cage containing A.B. and the star map machine.

The earth filly had huddled herself in a corner of the cage, murmuring to herself angrily. The crystal deciphered something about angrily exploding sodium in the alien's face.

"Applebloom, it's okay, It's Scoots."

Her ears perked upward to my voice and she sprang to her feet, running to the front of the cage. "Scootaloo! How did ya find me?"

"I pointed and guessed correct, i guess." Scanning the lock on the door, there wasn't a city key that could fit. The keyhole was almost as big as me, with no gears on the inside, just darkness that seemed to have no back. The cage itself had it's bars a few feet apart from eachother, so Applebloom could easily slip out if she wanted. But alas, this is a story about a cartoon, we can't just walk through open space.

"Calm down, AB." I said. "We can't get you out without Zaanne though, and he's, ah, busy with something."

"Well can ya think at 'em to hurry it up?" She sat bored and blew her hair out of her face. The bow had come undone and laid on the floor not too far away.

I took it up and passed it through the bars to her. "They'll be here soon." I promised, holding her other hoof.

She blushed and tied the bow around my arm, instead of putting it in her mane. "For good luck."

It was my turn to blush, and I stared down at the ribbon thing. "T-thanks." I broke to the fishbowl map and frowned. "Destroying that and freeing you are things only Zaanne and Ship can do... so what do I do?"

A preppy female voice spoke far away. "You can be a dear and die, that'll be quite helpful."

The shadow that the map made his a human in entirely white, complimented frilly white dress. She showed herself elegantly, it not really working for her though, since her dress was charred and her snowy white hair had black soot stuck in it. She was intimidating enough with the sword, so I kept back.

"Wonderful evening, don't you belive?" The girl strode towards us, but without much energy. There was a slight cut over her head. Making the left side of her head alittle bloody. Her eyes still gleamed the evil green eyes of the alien though, showing she still had abit to kill with.

"Where's your friend?" I asked.

"He will be here soon enough," she scoffed, "but he should not be of your current worries." She rose her blade, which looked like a giant push pin with a rainbow hilt.

.My scooter lit up, as if it had it's own nervous energy. "What about this giant black thing? Should that be my current worry?"

"Hm? Nah, it doesn't do anything itself, just locates some places for me." The blade glowed a weird blue now. "Same rules apply for it though, gotta get through me to find out what it actually finds."

"You're treating this like it's a game." I mumbled.

"It is very similar, if you think about it. We both have goals, one is to stop the other." She rose her sword to her lips and smiles gently into it's reflection. "The supposedly main character weilds an overpowered item, but it's not completely OP until you fully learn how to use it, it can be well related to leveling up, or advancing in a board game." She strode towards me, attempting to be graceful, but her step was off balance, and her poise wobbled. "Now, do i have to be the bad guy here and steal the crystal?"

The adrenaline started up, so I charged her, dagger appearing in my hoof as i jumped upward. "You are the bad guy!"

Blades collided in a shower of sparks. Weiss (new name according to Zaanne) pushed me back and kept my body at the point of her sword. "Am i the bad guy?"

I hit her blade downward and ran up it, now only on my hindlegs. She cocked her head and the kick i attempted flew past her. The ballerina grabbed my arm with an iron grip on my way down. With a girly grunt, she flung me into a wall, knocking the breath out of my lungs.

Her eyes squinted with annoyance "You attack us, take our space ship, hide the brilliant creator, and you accuse US of being a bad guy?!" Weiss seemed generally disturbed, as if it was my fault for thinking she was evil.

I simply laid there, unable to breathe for the time being. The wall had been harder than i had expected, and ship's magic sheild felt weaker. Everything was still fuzzy as i stood, my breath comming back. "I-if I let you take the crystal, y-you'll destroy Gabriel's planet."

"You still on about that?" She now laughed, a sweet, lovely and ugly laugh that reminded me far too much of Diamond Tiara. "Oh no, his planet shan't need destruction anymore!" She extended her hand dramatically, giving me as honest of a stare as she could pull off. "I have no intention of hurting you, or your friends of any world!"

I was back up, and took the dagger up. "Show me how the plan changed to where destroying planets isn't an option."

Weiss drew my attention to the black orb, now with about ten different dots. "Zaanne and the ship scattered the planet we created, creating smaller planets, some the size of earth, some smaller and some bigger. We do not plan to waste a single speck of dirt." She pointed to one star, and the map zoomed on it.

What i saw was unlike anything on any planet. A giant golden orb of mist the size of the sun swirled around, whisping yellow dust off it in slow motion.

"It's a planet?" I assumed.

"Only a memory of a planet, one that never existed." She zoomed into the smokey atmosphere and showed what was inside the place. I was Earth, a beach in front of what looked like a summer camp. There weren't many campers, and a good amount of them didn't seem human, or pony. Granted, most were humans, but alot of them were some goat-guy things.

"Where's that?" I asked.

"Gabriel can explain to you every fragment of imagination that is in here." Weiss closed a fist, and the image returned to the stargazing mode. "It may take up to a year or two to locate every planet Zaanne and the Ship created."

~A year or two? How many planets did he make?~

~imagination can create a world from almost nothing,~ Zaanne explained, ~so there are many ways that this could make twenty or even a hundred new worlds. The chances of them having enough thoughts to create a world, though.~

I didn't know what he said, but i didn't care anymore. Why does there have to be almost twenty planets to save from these guys now? That's crazy! Granted, it's not like we were in any danger with the first two worlds. Sure, ponyville had to evacuate and Gabriel lost his heart, but it could be worse.

These bad guys have been pretty straightforward about what they're doing, and why. Create a world for them to control by using humans' imagination. I would actually be okay with it, if it didn't include destroying a planet. Sure, let's have a new planet. I'll stop by from time to time to share chips and soda or something. Just don't resolve to death and violence to create a new world.

Weiss stood there, patient for me to hear her out. Ship spoke in my head, ~Scootaloo, their plan doesn't require destroying one planet, but it will ruin the numeral worlds that me and Zaanne created.~

"Ship's words are true, but you shouldn't be mad about it, these worlds were not meant to exist as it is."

"And were you meant to exist?" I asked.

She made a face, as if she were trying to respond but couldn't. After some hesitation, she responded. "Hm... If you mean do i exist through natural birth, i cannot say me and my apparent sibling are any different from these planets. But the matter is that i am here, and whoever brought me here has given me a mission to create a new world." She displayed her sword confidently. "And we will not rest until that mission is complete. Now, let us complete our simple little goal so you and your marefriend can live happily together."

Before i could decide to attack or try to pull out another speech, Rainbow and the team burst through the entrance (not literally). Rayden and Gabriel reattained their human forms, most likely to hold weapons easier. Ray had a sword on his back and Gabe had a green... stick? It had spikes on the top right of the stick.

"Get away from Scootaloo!" Rainbow yelled, even though i wasn't near her.

RD charged at Weiss, only to get punted into the cage, which made Rayden try, which made Rayden fail. We now had two out, two to go.

Gabriel noticed the lock that Rayden got thrown into by the chick. "I think i can unlock that, if you can tolerate Weiss for a few seconds."

Ray and RD were back on their feet, abit more prepared. The alien seemed reluctant to attack. She must have realized that she was outnumbered now. "Actually, i have someone to go find. He was supposed to be here for this part." She cartwheeled away before i threw my dagger at her.

"A little parting gift, though." With a swing of her sword, a flurry of blue lazers shot out and hit the roof and walls in large explosions. The room began to shudder. Rocks fell everywhere, blocking the entrance, which was also the exit.

"Well, that happened." Rayden observed the map carefully. "There's no buttons or way to use it," He confirmed.

Gabriel had looked closer at the lock and nodded. "We don't have the same amount of time as we did with the last machine, so let's destroy this one quickly."

"Actually," i said, "let's not destroy this one."

He looked at me like i was crazy. "This cave in won't break it, we have to before we go!"

"Or, we could use it." I waved a hoof towards the map to bring back up the things Weiss showed me. Ray sat back. "This can lead us to the planets through the images of them."

"True," ship agreed, "the teleportation requires memories of the specific area. If Gabriel has a strong enough imagination with some of these places, we could use this as a warp to the other planets."

Gabe spun around from the cage. "You sure that'll work?" Then he saw the picture on the map, of abunch of humans in orange shirts and half-human things sitting around in a stawberry feild, something i hadn't noticed before. At that, the human's face lit up, and he was suddenly unable to talk.

"You know this place?" I assumed.

"Keep the map!" He commanded, face now back to being wickedly happy."I want every planet in the galaxy found with it by the end of Summer Break!"

"The alien said it'll take a year or two."

He frowned, dissapointed, but immediately smiled again. "Ship, how long before we can fully locate that camp?"

"About a week." Ship confirmed.

Ray stared abit confused at the images. "That looks a lot like-"

"Yup!" Gabriel picked him and Rainbow up. "I know exactly where I'm going for summer vacation!"
