Chapter 4: Spike and Rainbow

 

Soon word passed of Twilight's presence...and the villagers are worried that she will make a monster just like her grandfather has done. It's enough for the villagers to gather at the town meeting to discuss this.

"All right, calm down, ridiculous." The mayor of the town, Mayor Mare, spoke with a scoff of the ponies' concern. "This mare is different! Why, one must know that after talking to her for five minutes."

A hoof rose up as another council member, Braeburn, to sigh as he spoke, "Yes, Trixie?"

The mare known as Trixie Lulamoon came over and slams a hoof onto the desk, snapping, "Should Trixie even spell it out for you?! She is a Doofenshmirtz and they are all alike!"

"Yeah!" The crowd exclaims in agreement.

"Youi know it's in their blood, they cannot help it! They are all scientists, all of them are alike! They claim to be working for us, but what they really want to do is rule the world!"

The ponies shouts and rabbled in agreement. Braeburn pounds his mallet onto the table, snapping, "Enough, settle down already! This meeting will not become a free-for-all!"

"Right, these are serious charges you're making and all the more painful to us, the council, due to the nightmares we have five times before!" Mayor Mare snaps to Trixie seriously.

"But what if she's right?!" Golden Harvest cries out in worry, getting scared. "What if this "Twilight Sparkle" will make a monster that will go out of control like Doofenshmirtz's did?!"

"Yeah, from what daddy told me, ponies got nightmares for a week!" A filly named Diamond Tiara exclaims out, terrified.

"Yeah, that unicorn's monster will most likely choke us in our sleep!" Her friend Silver Spoon exclaims frantically.

"Ponies calm down. We haven't heard from the one who is most qualified to judge the situation fairly." Mayor Mare said, pointing out that there's one individual in the room who hasn't spoken yet. As the ponies mutter, knowing who the mayor is talking about, she continues, "Inspector Skipper! Will you speak, please?"

The group turns to four penguins nearby. The first one was taller, thinner looking penguin, as he had blue eyes, and seemed to be the smart guy, as his name was Kowalski.

The second penguin was one with a scar on his left cheek and a feather like Mohawk, and has blue-green eyes, and seem to like to be a daredevil for excitement, his name was Rico.

The third penguin is a round penguin with blue eyes. His name is Private.

The last one with a focus looked face expression, flat head, and he had sapphire-blue eyes was named Skipper, the penguin team leader. He appears to have a wooden fin for some reason.

"Boys, looks like they're calling for me; Private, my fin," Skipper exclaim sternly to Private.

"Right away, Skipper," Private said as he helps Skipper with his fin, putting a cigar in it. Then the private forces the wooden fin itself into the fireplace before lighting the cigar itself. Private then put the lit finger in the water to put the flame out before helping Skipper put the cigar in his own mouth. "You fin is hard to adjust at times."

"Tell me about it. One of our previous missions had put it out of whack." Skipper remarks as he puffs the cigar before removing it.

"Wait, didn't we did this role in "Young Catenstein"?

"Yes, but we are casted again apparently." Kowalski admits as Rico grunts a bit.

After Skipper puffed the cigar and removes it, he turns to everyone, speaking, "A riot is one ugly thing and once one gets started, there is little chance of stopping it, short of bloodshed."

"Eeeew!" The filly duo exclaims in disgust.

"So before we go around, killing folks or ponies, we got to make DARN SURE..."

The ponies cringes a bit while Golden Harvest mumbles, "Why penguins instead of ponies, I rather not know."

Skipper continues onward, "Of our evidence."

"Yes, yes." Kowalski said as he cleans up his monocle up a bit before putting it. "We got to confirm one simple fact that young Sparkle is indeed..."

Rico took the cigar and puts it in his mouth, mumbling, "Vallowing in hers grandthather'th hoofthepth."

"What?!" The ponies in the room asks, confused by what Rico is saying.

"What Rico is saying, following in her grandfather's hoofsteps, hoofsteps, see?" Skipper points out as he taps his feet onto the floor to prove his point to the villagers.

"Oooh, hoofsteps."

"So how are we going to do that, Skipper?" Private ask Skipper curiously.

"Simple. It's time for us to do what we did in the other fanmake: pay a little visit to the good doctor and have a nice, quiet chat with her, eh boys?" Skipper ask his friends in determination.

"Right. If she isn't following in Doofenshmirtz's hoofsteps, then we're safe." Kowalski said seriously on the matter. "If not...we may have to take measures..."

 

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

 

The gang were having dinner at the castle...all but Twilight who sighs sadly. All that trouble to remake a monster, hoping to redeem her family name...all ruined!

Pinkie was watching "Charlie Brown and Snoopy: The Curse of the Were-Weasel."

It was a dark night and a full moon in the town of Toonigan, Cartoonshire which is in Toongland. All appears quiet...minus the cop, Officer Jenny who is whistling to herself. The woman then hear a noise coming a nearby ally followed by a cat's angry meow. She sighs, just another animal commotion.

Officerr Jenny heads on off, failing to notice a shadow of something moving across the wall of a building. She came across a produce store with a flyer, advertising the annual vegetable competition coming up in five days, hung up in the window. This event was very important to the folks of Toonigan and they don't want any of their prize veggies to get eaten or harmed in any way. She shook her head as she sighed, "Oh brother, everyone around here is just nuts about their veggies."

She chuckled a bit, before she saw something about to appear in the reflection of the window as she gulped in worry. The shadow of the thing started rising, so she quickly reached for her night stick and turned around, ready to take down whoever it was.

"Show yourself!" She demanded as she looked around. Then she looked on the street light and saw...a little moth crawling around in it, before flying away from it. She sighed in relief and chuckled a bit, before putting her night stick away and she said to herself, "Hoo boy. Jenny, you need a vacation real bad. Too many late shifts is the problem. Too many late shifts."

Unknown to her, some mysterious animal was moving through the bushes. Once the female cop has went past the produce store and a meat store, the creature made its move, leaving the bushes.

Pinkie sighs, "Too bad this scene wasn't included in the final cut."

"Reputation, reputation..." Twilight sighs as she shakes her head in sadness.

"Twilight, come on, you cannot do this to yourself." Ben said to Twilight, trying his best to comfort her.

"Eeyup! Don't do 'dis 'ta yerself." Applejack said in agreement. "Shoot, yew done haven't even touched yer food yet!"

Twilight frowns then touches the food with her hooves literally, scowling as she smashed it, "There, touched it, happy, happy?"

"You know, I would never forget my dear old dad." Pinkie sighs, recalling her own father. "Why, when stuff like this would happen to him, I wouldn't forget what he'd say to me."

"So what did he say?" Fluttershy ask Pinkie curiously.

"'What the hay are you doing in the outhouse all day and night?! Get out of there and give somepony else a chance!!!'"

As Pinkie continues eating, Twilight pauses to think about what her friend. She then gave a sad sigh while saying, "Well, when I think of it...perhaps it's for the best that I failed. Oh, poor lifeless Spike and Rainbow, and after all that stuff we went through...perhaps it's for the best they remain dead."

Twilight groans in defeat. However, unknown to the group, in the lab which is quiet and abandoned right now, the bodies continues lying there, not moving...until one of them begins to twitch as he groans madly.

In the dining room, Twilight finally got to eating. Ben glances at his meal, asking Twilight, "So what is it we're eating again?"

"Schwartzwald Kirchetort." Twilight explains to Ben with a nod. Suddenly a groan is heard, causing her to turn to Pinkie. "Oh, you like it, huh? Well, I am not partial to desserts myself, but this is great too..."

Pinkie however looks back for a moment, confused, before turning back, asking, "Uh, who are you talking to?"

"To you. Didn't you just made a yummy sound? I figured you liked the dessert."

"I didn't make any yummy sound!"

"But you did, I just heard it." Twilight said puzzled to Pinkie. Is her friend being random than usual?

"It wasn't me." Pinkie said in concern to Twilight. "I would've said "Yummy yummy, I got something in me tummy"!"

"Well, it wasn't me either." Ben said in concern, explaining that it wasn't him who made a yummy sound.

"Wasn't me or Fluttershy either." Applejack said as she and Fluttershy looks concerned. Neither of them made the yummy sound either!

"Well, hang on, if it wasn't Ben or any of you girls..." Twilight said, pausing a bit as she looks concerned. If Ben or any of the girls didn't make the yummy sound, then who did?

Suddenly the groaning is heard, followed by a mare voice, "Hey! Somepony get me out of here! Hello!" The gang got up and left the table in a big hurry! Could it be?

Twilight's group returns to the lab. The doctor turns the lights on before everyone rushes downstairs. To their amazement, Spike is groaning again once more as he looks at everyone as if wondering where he himself is now.

"Mmmmm. Oh yes, it's alive. It's alive! IT'S ALIVE!!!!" Twilight shouts out madly while smiling. The experiment was a success! Spike is alive. "Wow, now I know what it feels like when grandpa said that when his monster was made."

"Hey, uh, some help here?" Rainbow still strapped down spoke up on the other table, concerned much to the amazement of the others.

"And Rainbow! She's alive too!" Fluttershy squeaks out in amazement.

"Everyone, stand back." Twilight said with a smile. She slowly came over to Spike and Rainbow, smiling. "Hey there, my friends. I'm going to set you both free. Would you like that?"

"Sure...if it means getting off of this table." Rainbow said with a nod while Spike gave a confusing look to Twilight.

"Is the sedative ready?"

"Sure is, Twilight." Ben said with a nod as the sedative is prepared. Should anything goes wrong, Twilight will use the sedative to put any of the monsters out.

Twilight uses her magic to removes the clasps from the two revived experiments. Once she's done, the doctor spoke up, "I want you two...to get up." Spike and Rainbow nods as they sit up on the table. "Now stand on your feet."

Spike looks at his feet, then whines a bit. Rainbow, upon seeing him, yelps a bit, "Wait, is that...are you crazy?! That freak tried to kill me!!!"

"Relax, Rainbow, relax." Applejack said to Rainbow calmly. "We done brought him back fer a second chance as is yer. Now git up an' we can git through 'dis wit' no problem."

"Fine, but if he tries to make me into cupcakes again, I'm making a break for it!"

Rainbow stood up with no problem though Spike kept whining. Twilight insists gently, "Come on, you can do it. I believe in you." The Dragon hops off the table, yelping as he is trying to stand up. "There, there, that's mommy's little...well, big Dragon."

Spike almost lost balance but Twilight help him up. Soon the Dragon stood up straight.

"All now, now speak, Spike, speak." Twilight said to Spike with a smile.

Spike groans as he feels his neck, remarking, "Oy! Ten thousand years...will give you such a crick in the neck. Huh? Hey wait a minute...that didn't sound right." The Dragon hits his own neck, much to the surprise of the others. "WOW! Does it feel good to be alive again?" Spike grabs a mic from a nearby table and speaks into it. "I'm telling you, it's nice to be back, fillies and gentle-colts." He held it to Twilight while adding, "Hi, where you from? What's your name?"

"I'm...uh...your creator...Twilight Sparkle."

"Twilight Sparkle, huh? Hello, Twilight. Nice to have you on the show. Can we call you Twi, or maybe just Light?"

Twilight looks concerned as she turns to her friends, saying, "I must have given him too much of an electric charge."

"Do you smoke? Mind if I do." Spike jokes as he breathes out smoke a bit. "Ha ha ha ha ha ha."

Pinkie surprised by Spike's wackiness exclaims, "Hotsi gezen in dayne leyben?"

"Was that Yiddish?" Ben ask Pinkie puzzled.

"Yep...and in plain English...he's weirder than me. Woof!"

"And he's supposed to be harmless?" Rainbow ask Applejack in bewilderment. "Just kill him again already so I won't put up with him once more!"

"Relax, Rainbow, relax. All you, Rainbow, Spike, trot slowly." Twilight advises the two. Spike shrugs as he, and the reluctant Rainbow, trots slowly.

"Err, Twilight? I'm starting to get scared." Fluttershy said in worry. She doesn't know why but there's something scary here that’s about to happen.

"Relax, Fluttershy. All right, good Dragon and Rainbow." Twilight said as she tries walking the Dragon then lets Spike go as he walks towards her. "Good...."

"I am not a dog, filly!" Rainbow exclaims in annoyance to Twilight.

"I am, bark bark!" Spike jokes, barking like a dog somewhat. "Anyone wanna have fun?"

During this time, Pinkie got a lighter out and turns it on as she wants to activate some fireworks to celebrate the success. Spike however notices and screams in horror.

"WHOA, FIRE, FIRE, FIRE," Spike screams in terror, jumping up and down like mad.

"What's wrong? What's the matter?" Twilight ask Spike in alarm and worry. Something had the Dragon startled.

"FIRE BAD, FIRE BAD!!!"

"GAH! He's going insane again!" Rainbow screams out in horror, seeing this look before when she was alive. Twilight looks worried and confused, Spike is acting crazy and Rainbow acted like she remembered what he did to her when she was alive!

"Quick, somepony give Spike the..." But before Twilight could finish, Spike grabs her and Rainbow, choking both like mad. "Somepon give him the..."

Twilight yelps as Spike's choking is making it hard for her to breathe or speak. Pinkie ask in concern, "The what? Give him the what?"

Rainbow tries to speak but Spike's hold is choking her. Twilight frantically did some hoof signs in hope to signal to the others as to what she wants.

"Okay, 3 syllables. Uh, first one..." Applejack said as the gang begins the game as Twilight motions something. "Sounds like..."

As Twilight points to her own head, Ben spoke up, "Head! Sounds like head. Bed, uh, Sed...."

"Sed!" Everyone shouted, making Twilight nodded as the group got it right.

"Sed. Second syllable!" Fluttershy said as Twilight makes another motion but is losing breathe and focus fast. "Little world..."

"'Dis, 'dat', 'de..." Applejack said, guessing as to what the second syllable could be.

"A!" Ben exclaims, making Twilight nods quickly. "Oh!"

"Sed-a..." Pinkie said, trying to guess what the last syllable as Twilight makes the last motion as fast as she could. By this time, Rainbow has already fell unconscious, the unicorn is next!

"Sed-a..."

"Dirty word! She said a dirty word!'

"Sounds like..." The group said, trying to guess the last syllable quickly.

"Give, give!" Fluttershy exclaims with a nod, getting close to the answer.

"Seda-a-give! Give him a sed-a-give!" Pinkie exclaims anxiously, causing everyone but the unconscious Rainbow to look at her in disbelief. 'Sed-a-give'? Seriously?

"Oh, wait, tive! Sedative!" Ben exclaims as he picks up the sedative, showing it to everyone. Twilight didn't waste time to motion to Spike's nose.

"On 'de nosey, sugah cube!" Applejack exclaims with a nod.

Ben quickly rushes to behind Spike then uses the sedative. Spike could yelp 3 times before he fell onto the table with Rainbow, both are unconscious. Twilight pants a bit as she was released, that was a close one.

"'Seda-a-give'?!" Twilight yells at Pinkie, disbelief by the pink pony's guess.

Twilight groans as she sits on a chair, sighing as she recovers from the near death experience. A concerned Ben ask, "Twilight? Are you all right?"

"Yes...yes I am. Uh, will you excuse me for a moment, Ben? You too, Applejack."

"Yes, of course." Ben nodded as he and Applejack left, leaving Twilight with Pinkie and the worried Fluttershy.

"Uh, Pinkie, Fluttershy? May I speak with you two for a moment?" Twilight ask the two mares, the same ones she tasked to get Spike and Rainbow's brains earlier.

"Sure can." Pinkie said as Fluttershy gave a nervous nod. The doctor wanted to speak to the two alone. Doesn't sound good!

"Sit down."

"Okay." Fluttershy said meekly as she and Pinkie sat down onto the floor.

"No, no, up here, up here." Twilight said, explaining clearing that she wants the two mares to sit up near the table where the purple unicorn's at.

"Okie dokie lokie." Pinkie said as she and Fluttershy got up and sat on the nearby stools. Hoo boy.

"Now...girls...those brains I asked you to get for me...were they Robin Willaims and Taylor Swift's by any chance."

"Yes..."

"And no..." Fluttershy said meekly, looking away while wanting to hide, pretending that she doesn't even exist at all.

"And what do you mean by that?" Twilight ask Pinkie and Fluttershy with a frown as Ben and Applejack were watching on.

"Well, it's kinda funny." Pinkie said, giving a nervous smile to Twilight. "There was a little accident at the brain place...well, two. Fluttershy got scared of thunder and lightning and dropped Taylor Swift's brain, smashing it by accident..."

"But we found Rainbow Dash's real one and put that in." Fluttershy admits meekly to Twilight.

"Oh, that explains why she remembers." Twilight said with a sigh, she wondered about Rainbow's nasty reaction to Spike after she and the Dragon woke up. "And Spike?"

"Well, on the second accident...Pinkie dropped Robin Williams's place...half of it survived."

"But I used another brain to fill in the gaps." Pinkie said, giving a nervous smile to Twilight. "In other words, I fused it with Robbie's!"

"I see....so tell me, mind telling me whose brain that you fused with Robin Williams's that I put into Spike's head?" Twilight ask Pinkie and Fluttershy in concern, suspecting that whatever brain was fused with Robin Williams's must be the reason the Dragon went nuts all of the sudden.

"Do you Pinkie Promise you won't be angry with Fluttershy? After all, she DID get the right brain, even though that's for Dashie."

"Fair enough." Twilight does the "Pinkie Promise" Motions and chant and even remember to close her eye before putting her hoof in it. "Now, will you tell me whose brain YOU got?"

"Abby somepony." Pinkie explains with a shrug.

"Abby somepony?"

"Abby normal. Yes, I believe that is the correct name."

Twilight chuckles a bit as she stood up, sounds like to her, Pinkie has fused together...an abnormal brain with that of Robin Williams.

"So are you telling me I put an abnormal brain into an eight-foot-tall, six-foot-wide fire breathing..." Twilight then starts telekinetically choking Pinkie. "GILA MONSTER?! IS THAT WHAT YOU ARE TELLING ME?!"

Pinkie, choking out, yelps, "At least she keeps her Pinkie Promise about not being angry with Fluttershy."

"Someone, give her the..." Fluttershy begins to yelp as the others rushes over quickly.

"What, give her the what?" Ben yelps as Twilight is still choking Pinkie like mad. The doctor got Robin Wlliams's brain all right...except it is fused with an abnormal brain! The pink pony did the hoof motions like Twilight did earlier. "Three syllables, okay..."

Suddenly a pounding noise is heard, causing Twilight to stop choking Pinkie as she ask in concern, "Now who could that be at this hour?"

"Not 'de welcome wagon, Ah bet." Applejack said worried. The cowpony has no idea how correct she is!

 

Author's note
Great. Twilight found out about the abnormal brain fused with Robin Williams's now in Spike's head...and she got a visitor. In the next chapter, as Twilight manages to get rid of Skipper and his penguin boys, she and her friends found out who played the violin to lure the unicorn to the secret lab that nice...and Spike escapes, bringing Rainbow with him as the two goes on some various adventures. Read, review and suggest.

 

The bit after Spike woke up is a reference to “Aladdin” with the last part a references to “Blazing Saddles”.
