Chapter 5: Monsters on the Loose

 

The Penguins of Madagascar has arrived with Skipper using his fin to knock onto the door hard. Private spoke up, "You think anyone is in there?"

"Must be." Kowalski said with a nod. "All the lights are on...and Dr. Sparkle is nowhere to be seen anywhere in the area."

Back in the lab, the gang looks concerned. They got visitors and must cover up the monsters. Last thing they want is a mob riot that could result in a lot of bloodshed!

"Ben, Applejack, Fluttershy, go upstairs and see who that is!" Twilight exclaims to the mentioned three who nods and gallops off to see who is visiting. As they're gone, Twilight turns to Pinkie, frowning. "Pinkie! Put that...Dragon back onto the operating table and strap him down tightly!"

"And what about Dashie?" Pinkie calls out to Twilight who begins to head off.

"Put her onto another table and do the same thing. The last thing we want is for her to run to escape from Spike and for the villagers to almost harm her!

"And where are you heading?"

"To wash up of course! I've got to look normal, all of must behave normally!" Twilight insists, although a part of her necklace came off before she left.

 

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

 

A while later, Twilight meets her guests Skipper and his fellow operatives who arrives for a reason: to talk about the villagers' concerns about the possibility of Twilight making a new monster. They are playing a game of darts while doing so.

Behind the group, Pinkie is playing a computer game called "Heroes Fandango" which shows the alien, Stitch, interviewing the recent dead man PC Principal.

"Everybody here is just as dead as you. That's why it's called the Land of the Dead, duh!" Stitch remarks to the PC Principal dryly.

"But, I thought I saw you alive not that long ago - along with some fat kid in a detective outfit." The PC Principal exclaims, confused as he recalled someone like Stitch to still be alive.

"That was most likely my replacement. Like how I shared a couple of laughs with Hoagie's counterpart from the DNK-verse shortly after we both arrived."

"So where IS this guy you mentioned now?"

"Unfortunately, he did JUST enough good before he died to earn a motorized scooter that allowed him to make the journey in one year instead of four." Stitch said to the PC Principal with a shrug.

"What did you say?" The PC Principal asked, stunned by what he's hearing.

"We work on a karma system down here," Stitch explains with a disgusted look. "Those who did very little good in life get just a walking stick with a compass. Those who actually did do some real good before they died get a somewhat better deal. The absolutely best individuals get a golden train ticket that allows them to complete the journey in four minutes."

"Monsters, give me a break!" Twilight scoffs as she threw a dart into the target, hitting the bullseye. The mare threw another dart though she missed the bullseye that time.

Twilight managed to make two more shots then missed again. Private complimented, "Excellent shot, miss."

"Yeah!" Rico laughs as Twilight took a small glass before drinking from it.

"This is the 21st century, penguins. Monsters are passe, like ghosts, goblins, and the monsters from Monsters, Inc." Twilight remarks with a chuckle. She pauses to think then adds, "Well, okay, there are still the Monsters Inc. monsters but they make kids laugh instead of scaring them now."

"Well, not to the good folks of this village, Dr. Sparkle." Skipper said as Kowalski came over and take the darts out of the board. "To them, they are real."

As Kowalski gave the darts back, he accidentally stabbed Skipper in the wooden fin unknown with the darts themselves. The penguin comments, "Especially since there is a Doofenshmirtz in this house right now."

Skipper comment, "And, no offense, Doctor Sparkle, but I will trust you aren't a dirty enough dart player to resort to using your telekinesis."

"I insist that I am not cheating during the game." Twilight assures Skipper as she is pouring another drink into her glass.

The penguins notices that Twilight isn't looking. With a nod, Skipper signals Rico to take the darts out of his wooden fin and rushes over to the dart board, throwing them right into the bullseye itself.

"That's cheating." Private said, concerned that this tactic that is being used is cheating.

"Watch." Skipper said with a chuckle. "Kowalski?"

Kowalski took out a sound effects machine and press a button to make "thunking" sounds to make it sound like Skipper was throwing the darts. She turned around and look amazed at what appears to be a grouping on the dart board.

"Wow, nice...grouping." Twilight said amazed a bit.

"Yes, Skipper is a good dart player." Kowalski said proudly while Skipper did a pose.

"So, what up wit' de wooden fin? War wound?" Applejack ask Skipper, nodding to the wooden fin.

"Applejack!" Twilight exclaims, annoyed by her friend's rudeness. Yet, she paused and got curious herself. "So...Skipper...that wing of yours...is that a war wound?"

Skipper just scoffs at that, "Ha...I wish it was, but the truth is that my wing was ripped out of its socket by the fiendish monster that your idiot grandfather created."

"But that's not the only thing that the monster did that affects us the most, you see...the monster attacked Rico, too." Kowalski said with a serious voice as he motions to Rico who looks down in sadness.

"What? What do you mean, Kowalski?" Twilight ask Kowalski, concerned that her grandfather has indeed made a monster who would do something like that.

"Well...the monster...scratched his face, tore upon his throat, and then...ripped out his vocal cords..." Private said, pointing off what the monster once did to poor Rico.

"Ugh...how unpleasant."

"Yep...it left poor Rico brutally scarred and mostly mute...we were able to get him some artificial vocal chords, but beyond that Rico cannot talk normally at all because of what happened...right, Rico?" Skipper ask Rico who nods his head.

"Well, back to the subject. I wouldn't think intelligent penguins like you four would fall for this superstitious rot." Twilight said as she goes over to the dartboard and took the darts out.

As Twilight goes back to take her turn, Skipper spoke up, "Well, it isn't superstition that worries me besides the monster previous attack. Its gene and...CHROMOSOMES!" The penguin shouted so loudly, he caused Twilight to miss and nearly hit the glass with wine on it.

"Oh, that's rubbish!"

"Well, you might say that, but this is..." Skipper said as Twilight is aiming, about to throw another dart once more. "...EQUESTRIA!"

Twilight misses once more, cracking and breaking a window with her dart. She frowns while preparing to aim and throw again, saying, "Come on, I still say that is ridiculous. Sure, a monster once harmed you and Rico, but there are no monsters now!"

"Yes, but after all, you are a...DOOFENSHMIRTZ!" Private cries out loudly, causing her to miss and break another window. The mare sighs as she prepares another dart.

"Well, you seem unusually upset by this discussion." Kowalski said with Rico nodding, the two penguins notes Twilight's emotional look.

"Not at all." Twilight assures as she tosses the dart, but hit a cart which is screeching. "I just find it extremely amusing, that's all." The doctor threw the last dart, though some crashing noises are heard, meaning she mean again. "All right, this was fun. And now, if you four don't mind, I'm a little bit tired."

"Well, shall we give the villagers your complete assurance that you got no interest whatsoever in continuing what your grandpa had worked on?" Skipper ask. The penguins want to make sure that Twilight isn't continuing what Doofenshmirtz has done and will not be continuing the monster game in the future.

Just then, Spike and Rainbow are heard moaning from the laugh. They turn back to Twilight as Private ask, "I take that as a yes?"

"Mmm, sure." Twilight said with a nod, covering up the loud moaning that her creations has done. She hopes that Skipper and his pals don't get suspicious and demand to investigate.

"All right, very well." Skipper said as Rico forces his fin down.

"Okay, I take it you all can find the way out by yourselves, right?"

"Yes, until we meet again, uh, Baroness."

Skipper forced the arm to salute as his pals gave a salute to Twilight. The mare chuckles, "Well, make sure to drop by anytime. Our door is always open."

Skipper nods then tries to make his fin go down...but to his annoyance, it wouldn't budge. The penguin groans as he and his pals headed out the door. Skipper makes a point to ask Kowalski to fix this when they get home. Twilight sighs in relief and then looks outside. Hopefully that is a close one!

Outside, a stallion made Caramel salutes as the penguins enter the car, with Skipper's fin still in place. As they enter, Caramel remarks, "Got your fin up?"

"Just drive!" Skipper snaps impatiently to Caramel.

Caramel got into the car and begins to drive off with the passengers, although not any of them notices a flat tire that the car now has due to the bad dart playing by Twilight earlier.

 

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

 

Spike and Rainbow has woke up by this time, still strapped onto the tables and unable to move. Unknown to them, a familiar mare came into, gasping in surprise and amazement.

"Gah!" Rainbow exclaims, shocked upon seeing Latrine. "At this point, I rather take Spike than that ugly unicorn right now! Yuck!"

Latrine of course didn't seem to hear her. She goes over to the chain, holding it while sighing, "Heinz...oh Heinz! We have done it!" All this time of waiting and anticipating has succeeded! She goes over to Spike with a successful smirk. "Hello, my little Dragon. I'm going to set you free. Would you like that, eine schatze kophf?"

"Whoa. I am not sure if you wanted to free me...or hit on me." Spike said confused, not sure what Latrine said to him or what she is even implying.

"I hope it's the freedom part." Rainbow mumbles as Latrine got to work on undoing the straps onto the two prisoners. "Mind letting me go first so I can get far away from that creep?!"

"Hey, come on! It's not my fault fire drives me nuts! I'm a Dragon and yet I'm scared of a little flame!"

"Thank goodness that's over." Twilight said as she and her friends are coming back. Latrine turns and saw them coming in, they gasped in shock as they saw what she's doing. "Latrine!"

The horse servants whine once more. Fluttershy confused mumbles, "Why do they keep doing that?!"

"Hey!" Applejack exclaims as she and the others rushes downstairs. "What 'de Sam Hill are yew doing?! Git away fro' Spike an' Rainbow!"

"Stop!" Latrine exclaims, making the group stop before they get closer. "Don't come any closer!"

"What are you doing?" Twilight demands in shock to Latrine. Is she going crazy?! Doesn't the mare know the brain Spike now has?

"And uh if you don't mind me by asking, why are freeing the cute Dragon?" Fluttershy ask Latrine meekly.

"What else, I'm going to set both him and the mare free!" Latrine exclaims with glee while rubbing her hooves.

"No, no, you can't!" Ben exclaims in horror, Latrine obviously doesn't know what's going on.

"Yes, I will!"

"Are you crazy, you intense pony?!" Twilight yells out frantically as she and the others run over to her once more. "I mean, yeah, it's okay to free Rainbow but freeing Spike is too dangerous! He'll kill you!"

"No, he won't, he won't." Latrine insists as she motions to the nearly freed Dragon. "He's gentle as a lamb!"

However Latrine's shouting causes Spike to scream as he broke free from his last shackle. As most of everyone got back, the Dragon got up and moves, causing Rainbow to get free of her own shackles as a result.

"You were saying?!" Rainbow snaps to Latrine as she stood back with the others.

"For the love of Celestia, stand back! He has a rotten brain!" Twilight exclaims in horror at Spike walking towards the ponies. "Granted, he has Robin Williams's brain too but it's been corrupted by an abnormal one!"

Spike, hearing that, stops and snaps, "Hey, who are you calling rotten?!"

"No, no, it's a good brain!" Latrine insists madly to the others.

"It's rotten, rotten I tell you!" Twilight insists frantically, but this causes Spike to roar in anger and tries to attack her but she dodges, causing the Dragon to hit the table insist.

"Ixnay on the ottenray." Pinkie said to Twilight in worry.

"Hey, who are you calling an ottenray?!" Spike snaps to Pinkie, offended by what she just said.

"Whoa, whoa!" Rainbow exclaims as Spike stood up, fixing himself. "He's coming after me again!!!"

"Oh, I am not scared, I know what he likes!" Latrine exclaims in determination, knowing what to do.

Latrine grabs a violin as Spike growls, preparing to attack her. Suddenly the unicorn uses her magic to play the violin. Suddenly the Dragon stops, grinning a little as he calms down.

"Music...good...oh, fireflies." Spike said gently as he grabs at some fireflies. "Want to get them?"

"Wow...that music...calm..." Rainbow said smiling a bit while calming down herself. "For the first time, I feel...relax..."

"That music..." Twilight exclaims in realization. She heard that tune back in America...and which lured her and her friends down into the secret lab that night!

"Oh yes, it's in your blood, the blood of all Doofenshmirtzes!" Latrine exclaims with glee as the two monsters walk/trot slowly and playfully towards her. "When words are useless, it reaches the soul. Your grandfather used to play it to the creature he was making to calm him down."

"Of course, it was you all the time!"

"Yes!"

"You played that music in the middle of the night..." Twilight said, realizing that it was Latrine who played that music that night.

"Yes!" Latrine exclaims with glee as she plays the violin slightly.

"...to get us down here to the laboratory."

"Yes."

"And that was your cigar smoldering in the ashtray." Twilight said, realizing whose cigar that was in the ashtray as well.

"Yes." Latrine said with a wicked smile, Twilight is close to figuring out the whole mystery.

"Then it was you...who left my grandfather's book for me to find, knowing my curiosity would lead to this!"

"Yes..."

"So that I would..." Twilight said, slowly getting close to solving the mystery.

"Yes." Latrine said with another smile, causing Twilight to realize the horrifying yet sickening truth.

"So in other words, you and Heinz were..."

"Yes, yes, say it! He was my BOYFRIEND!!!"

"EEEEEEW!!!!" The mares in Twilight's group exclaims in disgust.

"You're kidding? You're kidding, right?" Rainbow ask Latrine in disbelief, snapping out of it upon hearing that part.

"Whoa! Dude, that's creepy." Spike mumbles, still in the trance but still overhearing what Latrine just said.

"Okay, I know Heinz was desperate for companionship after his wife's death...but this is lower standards here." Ben remarks to the others, bewildered by how far Doofenshmirtz would go for love.

Suddenly Spike got close to some machine which hits him with electricity. The Dragon screams out in horror, "FIRE, FIRE; AHHHH!!!"

Spike screams as he grabs Rainbow and runs out, with her yelling, "Whoa, whoa, let go, hey, let go of me!!!"

As the others rushes to chase after Spike and Rainbow, Latrine laughs madly, "Oh, you will never catch them now! They're free, I tell you, free!"

Spike rushes through the castle with the captive Rainbow as he busted down a door. It was raining out, during this time, causing the Dragon to yelp in fear due to the thunder flashing.

"Hurt Dragon, hurt Dragon!" Spike roars out as he runs out, holding Rainbow with him.

By the time Twilight and the others reach the door, Spike and Rainbow are gone, disappeared into the night. This horrified the doctor. She has unwittingly unleashed a Dragon with a bad brain out into the world, holding a captive who got a good one but has bad memories of her captor!

"Gone, they're gone! Everyone, we must find them! We must find them before Spike kills someone!" Twilight exclaims in horror before looking down in sadness. "Oh, what have I done?! Celestia in Heaven, what have I done?"

Everyone looks worried as well, it will take a miracle to recover Spike and Rainbow now.

In a morning in Equestria, a blind filly named Snow Pillow was picking flowers, sending them into a well as she was singing.

 

Snow Pillow: Oh, I love
My pretty little flower
Oh, I love
My pretty little flower

 

By this time, Spike and Rainbow, the pony is no longer terrified as she got bored of doing so and is now tagging along, arrives on the scene.

 

Oh, I love my flower

 

"Hey, who do we got here?" Spike ask, causing Snow Pillow to turn...in another difference. "Uh, we're over here, kid."

"Sorry, I'm blind." Snow Pillow giggles as she turns to the direction of Spike. "But I can sense new friends."

"Friends?" Rainbow ask Snow Pillow puzzled.

Now nearby Snow Pillow is her home. Her father, an Alicorn named King Coldmight is putting wood onto the windows. Word has it that Twilight's monsters are on the loose so he must do his best to keep his home and family safe.

"Can't believe those monsters are loose. Even us Alicorns got to seal those boards tight." Coldmight mumbled as he sighs, finishing his work. "There, done." As the stallion wipe the sweat off his head, he turns to his wife Queen Frostine who is ironing some clothes. "Luckily you made sure that Snow Pillow was put to bed, with all this monster business, one cannot take any chances."

"What, but I told you I was turning the rostbraten all morning." Frostine reminds her husband in concern. "Remember? I asked you to put Snow Pillow to..."

The two parents gasps in realization and horror. If none of them put Snow Pillow to bed...then where the hay is she?

Back at the bed, Spike plucked the last flower pedal that he's holding before sending it into the bed. The Dragon chuckles, "Wow, this is fun, actually. Ha ha ha!"

"At least this is the first time Spike didn't panic." Rainbow remarks with a chuckle upon seeing this.

"Now throw a kiss and say bye-bye." Snow Pillow suggests with a grin to Spike.

Spike nodded, blow a kiss to the well while saying, "Buh-bye, buh-bye now!" The Dragon stops the stem into the well.

"Oh dear, nothing is left. So what shall we throw in now?"

"Don't know...rocks maybe? Ponies?"

"Forget the pony part!" Rainbow exclaims, frowning to Spike on that part. "We ain't committing murder like you did to me, pal!"

"I did?" Spike ask confused, apparently forgetting his past life.

The parents continues looking worried in their home, they have no idea where Snow Pillow is. She could be in danger right now from those monsters!

"Perhaps she was in the bedroom." Coldmight said, trying to figure out if his daughter is upstairs.

"But I haven't look upstairs, I thought you did!" Frostine exclaims to her husband in worry.

"You mean you didn't look upstairs?!"

The parents quickly rush upstairs. If Snow Pillow isn't up there, then they got a big reason to panic!

Back outside, Snow Pillow was on one end of the seesaw, smiling to her friends as she said, "Sit down; sit down, whoever you two are."

"Rainbow Dash." Rainbow remarks as she sits down on one end of the seesaw, barely causing it to lower. "Hey, Spike! Sit down with us."

"Uh, it won't hurt, right?" Spike ask nervously to the two ponies.

"It’s okay, come on, sit down." Snow Pillow said happily to Spike. She may not see him but the filly likes him.

"Okay then."

Spike sat down behind Rainbow...but he did so too hard, causing the other end to go flying up and sending Snow Pillow, making her scream in surprise.

"Too hard, Spike." Rainbow said awkwardly to the embarrassed Spike who saw Snow Pillow being send flying.

Snow Pillow fortunately was send into a window of her home that goes into her own bedroom. The filly hits the mattress and pillow, knocking her unconscious. When her parents came into the room, they saw her sleeping apparently, making them sigh in relief.

"Awww!" The parents said happily as they kissed each other. Perhaps they have no reason to worry after all!

 

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

 

In another part of the forest, there is a collage where peaceful music was playing as something was cooking in the fire. A figure, by the name of Billy, was looking into the sky. He has been lonely with no one to be his friend...other than what he knows anyway.

"Come on, all I asked is a visitor, a temporarily companion to help pass a few hours in my short, lonely and dumb life." Billy said as he prays to whoever is listening.

Just then Spike barged in, growling as he exclaims, "Heeeeeere's Spikey!"

"Hey, thanks, God! Ha ha ha! Thanks a lot!"

"Hey, Spike! What did I say about barging into ponies' home?" Rainbow ask as she came into the house. The mare turns to Billy who got up and turned off the music. "Who are you? Were you playing that music that lured us here?'

Billy goes over to the two who looks oddly at him. Spike was about to speak when the boy interrupts him, "Hey, hey, don't speak, don't speak. Yeah, my joy and prizes from heaven!" Billy touched Spike's head a bit. "Wow, you must be the tallest in your class. Yeah! My name is Billy and I live here all alone. What's your name?"

"Spike." Spike said to Billy with a shrug.

"Huh? Didn't get that."

"I said my name is Spike! Is that loud enough for you?"

"Sorry, nope." Billy remarks with a shrug, apparently not understanding for some reason.

"His name is Spike and my name is Rainbow Dash." Rainbow said to Billy with an annoyed sigh.

"Oh sorry, I didn't know you two were handicapped!"

"What?"

"Wow, heaven must got weird plans. Me, a silly dumb boy, and you two, babies talking like grown ups." Billy remarks as he pats Spike. "With one of you a huge incredibly big baby."

"Hey, I am not a baby, I am a grown Dragon!" Spike exclaims to Billy in annoyance.

"Yeah, we can talk normally!" Rainbow exclaims in agreement with her murderer. "Are you even listening?!"

"Wow, your hoof is frozen!" Billy exclaims, holding Spike's claw in amazement. "Want some soup? Would that warm you up?"

"Yeah, sure." Spike remarks with a smile. Soup sounds good right now.

"Cool! Come on in!" Billy exclaims as he motions his visitors who came into the house. After Billy closes the door, the trio came over to the food that was cooked. "I know what it means to be cold, hungry and how much it means to have a little kindness from strangers."

As the two sit down at the table, Billy brings the huge pot over as he ask, "Ready for soup?"

"Oh yeah, lay it on us, kid." Rainbow said with a smile as Spike mumbles a bit.

"Now hold your bowl." Billy said as he took a dipping spoon. The dumb boy dips it into the bowl as the visitors hold out their bowls to get some soup. "Now, my friends, you got no idea how your visit means to me, how long I waited for new friends."

Rainbow manages to get some soup. As Billy got some more, Spike yelps as the boy is about to pour it, but not into the bowl but onto himself. The Dragon does his best to get it, only for Billy to miss and pours it onto him.

"Whoa! AHHHH! HOT, HOT, HOT!!!" Spike exclaims in pain. That soup is hot, even for an undead Dragon like himself!

Billy, having no clue as to what's going on, continues pouring soup, only to miss again, "We tend to forget the simple pleasures..."

"WHOOOOOAAAA!!!"

"Hey, kid, watch it with that soup!" Rainbow exclaims to Billy in irritation. He is really literally burning Spike up!

"...as well as the basic true happiness. Ha ha ha!" Billy, still clueless to what happened, laughs stupidly. Spike groans, frowning at the boy who put the soup away. "Now, a little wine for your soup?"

"Sure, maybe." Spike remarks with a shrug. At least wine won't hurt much like soup did.

"At least try not to miss this time." Rainbow remarks to Billy who picks up a bottle and a bunch of cups nearby.

"All right, good, good." Billy said with satisfaction. Spike reaches for his cup, but the boy helped him and Rainbow out. The boy poured wine into the cups as the trio leaned to each other. So far, so good. "All right, good, good!"

Spike takes his cup, preparing to drink his wine when Billy stops him; "Wait, hang on. A toast, yes, a toast to long friendship."

The trio nods as they clang glasses. Too bad Billy hit his cup onto Spike and Rainbow's too hard, causing them to break. Spike groans as he got the remaining handle off of himself.

"Really?" Rainbow ask Billy dryly as she removes the handle from her hoof.

"Wow, you both must be hungry! Oh! Got a little surprise. For a special occasion that I was saving for..." BVilly said as he took out three familiar objects, making Spike's eyes widened. "Cigars! Ha ha ha!"

"Well, okay." Spike remarks with a shrug. Hopefully a cigar won't be hard to deal with, right?

"Give me." Rainbow remarks as she and Spike took a cigar each from Billy. Suddenly the Dragon yelps as Billy took a candle that is lit.

"Whoa, no way! Fire bad, fire bad!"

"What's wrong?" Billy ask, confused by why Spike is behaving like this.

"Fire bad, fire bad!" Spike exclaims in terror to Billy, trying to keep away from the flame.

"Sorry, kid, but Spike freaks out around fire." Rainbow explains in concern to Billy. "You may wanna put that away."

"No, no, fire is good." Billy insists, not seeing what the problem is.

"It bad!" Spike exclaims in terror, not wanting to go near that flame.

"No, fire is good! Fire is our friend, yeah! I will show you!" Billy exclaims. To prove his point, the Dragon carefully lit his own cigar while it was in his mouth. Spike and Rainbow watches in amazement as the boy gives out a puffing smoke. "See? See? Got your cigars? Let me see."

"Well, if Billy said it's okay..." Rainbow remarks with a shrug as he and Spike carefully show their own cigars to Billy who holds out the candle and begins to light.

"All right, now, now, hold them right there." Billy said with a smile while lighting the cigars. "Now don't inhale until the tip glows."

Well, the good news is that Rainbow's cigar is lit. But unfortunately, Billy accidentally lit Spike's thumb on fire. The Dragon pauses for a moment...then screams in fear. Spike blew the flame out and run out of the house in fear, busting the door down.

"Spike, get back here!" Rainbow exclaims in alarm as she rushes out of the house after him, the two disappeared into the night once more.

"Wait, where are you two going?!" Billy ask confused as he arrives at the newly made home. "I was going to make Expresso! Awwww, why must my friends always run off on me?"

 

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

 

At this moment in the villager, a huge Minotaur named Iron Will was waiting at a corner, smirking as he exclaims, "Yeah! Here I am, Iron Will, high Minotaur extraordinaire, ready for another night of evil deeds, wicked practice, and shaking up for bits!" The Minotaur pauses as he hears something, "Hark, whatever that means! Iron Will senses more unexpected victims to be attacked! Yeah!"

Iron Will goes into hiding, waiting anxiously for his victims to arrest so he can steal from them. The Minotaur hears groaning as someone approaches. Iron Will chuckles cruelly...then jumps out with a crossbow to make his attack.

"Yeah, your bits or your life!" Iron Will laughs in determination...only to hear a huge roar, coming face to face with a frowning Spike. The Minotaur yelps as the Dragon grabs him by the neck. "Oh, horse feathers! All right, all right! Iron Will can make deals with any pony, Dragons or whatever!"

Iron Will yelps as Spike seizes his weapon, looks at it for a moment then breaks the thing before tossing it to the ground.

"Whoa! Iron Will sees that you're one of us!" Iron Will exclaims in surprise at this. He nervously holds out his bag with the bits that the Minotaur stole. "What, you want Iron Will's bits?"

"NOOOO!" Spike snaps as he grabs the bag and tosses it.

"All right, all right, how about taking Iron Will's life?"

Iron Will yells as Spike chokes him for a bit then drops him to the ground. As Minotaur recovers, the Dragon climbs over him and moves on his way.

Rainbow arrives a few seconds later, asking, "Hey buddy? Did you happen to see a corpse of a cupcake killer passing this way?" Iron Will breathes in and out as he points to where Spike has went. "Thanks!"

As Rainbow flew after Spike, Iron Will groans, "Ugh. Iron Will needs new contact lens. I got to see these ponies or whatever!"

 

Author's note
Wow, what misadventures. All right, in the next chapter, Spike and Rainbow are recovered, with Twilight determined to help Spike. Twilight then shows off her new friends to the world, but something goes wrong. Read, review and suggest.

 

The game that Pinkie's playing is based off the game "Grim Fandango".

 

There is a reference to the musical version of "Young Frankenstein" in this, as well as the Disney film "The Lion King."

 

Snow Pillow and Queen Frostine are OCs made by Toonwriter to be descendants of Snowdrop from a MLP: FIM fanmade short.

 

The bit at the end is based on another deleted scene of the actual film.
