This is taking too long. Trixie thought as she stood their deep within the Goodly prison. When the signal was given her group like the other forces at the other goodly basses moved in simultaneously. Both Rin's forces and the other pony princesses. Her group was a small squad meant to sneak in as far as they could to find where the Goodlies keep their prisoners. Seeing as it was a place that could result (However unlikely) in a hostage situation. So far things were going well. Trixie, Cluck, and Vinyl moved in under Trixie's invisibility spell and had to do some impressive maneuvering to not to get too close to any nullifiers. Then the worst possible thing happened. Invisibility is a powerful tool but there are ways to combat it. Dogs to sniff you out, flower sprinkled on the floor. But there was one thing that even the stealthiest of invisibility users dread. A thing that manages to stump them almost every time. The Achilles heel to this amazing power. A closed door! Yes, she knew it would happen eventually seeing as this place is for keeping prisoners and all but she wished she could have gotten them further in. What annoyed her the most was that she was certain that this door wasn't even locked.

They had waited a while in the hopes that someone would use it but word had gotten in that the other places were being attacked so the Goodlies have gone into lock-down and Trixie can tell by their fidgeting that Cluck and Vinyl were getting impatient. Seeing no other way Trixie wiggled a bit signaling to the chicken on her back and the vampire biting her tail that it was time to attack. Cluck lightly pecked her left side indicating he would take the guards to their left. Vinyl lightly kicked Trixie's left hind leg indicating the same thing so Trixie lightly kicked back on Vinyl’s right leg telling her the left was taken which Vinyl kicked back with showing she understood. With that out of the way, Trixie made the first move by creating a powerful flash of light to momentarily blind the guards which her two partners capitalized on and swiftly attacked.

Cluck swiftly took some darts that were the size of thumbtacks from his utility belt and let them fly right into the necks of the guards on his side. The potent tranquilizer in each of the tiny darts took effect quickly as the guards were only half way through drawing their weapons when they suddenly started wobbling for only a moment then dropping to the ground. Vinyl had run up to her targets and to their credit, the Goodlies heard her hoof falls and jumped back quickly to get out of range of her attacks and one went for the alarm. But with her vampire speed Vinyl caught up to that one and smashed his face into the ground knocking him out cold before brutally beating the others into unconsciousness. The guards were then quickly bound making them prisoners which allowed the hand of evil to pick them up. Trixie shook her head as they vanished, she could never figure out how that had worked.

With that done, Trixie went invisible again while Vinyl opened the door and they frowned. Trixie had hoped that with that easy victory they could get back to sneaking as a group but there were others on the other side that heard them take down their friends and got ready and the moment Vinyl was seen the alarm was triggered by a unicorn mage.

Trixie had already moved down the hall on their side of the door to avoid getting hit or having her invisibility taken away while activating the trigger for the gas bombs she had been placing as they moved to at least deal with the groups they had already passed as their cover was blown. As Trixie was doing that Vinyl and Cluck rushed in and started dodging the rain of arrows while dashing off in both directions so that they wouldn't attack the door before moving in for the attack.

Meanwhile, outside the room where the fighting was taking place, Trixie was prodding at the arrows with her magic and frowned as she felt her magic getting shredded by the energy surrounding the arrows. Realizing her magic will be of limited use here Trixie grabbed the costume weapon that was made for her when she became an Epic. Her hat.

With her promotion, Trixie was given her own underground store house that is kept well stocked with all sorts of goodies themed for her. Many of which were made by Rin as power shots. And the place is manned by a team of foxes to get her whatever she needs through the portal connecting that room and the upper part of her super stretchy hat. Placed there so that no part of her head would be in the portal should it be shut down. A concept that gave Trixie horrible nightmares of her brain being exposed and falling out after it was brought up. Not to mention her demands of countless safety precautions added in. Not that anyone blamed her.

Reaching a hoof in Trixie felt for the fox on standby and upon feeling the soft fur she used the mind chat spell she learned from Rin to make a silent command. With a grin, she pulled out her blue gas mask and placed it on her face before reaching in and pulling out an orb made from conjured crystal filled with a clear liquid and tossing it at the group. She then quickly reapplied her invisibility so as not to be seen as she moved from the door. The orb only got about ten feet from them before smashing against the ground.

"There's another one hiding!" One of the knights among the guards shouted out as the liquid that was once in the orb turned into a thick fog of gas when it made contact with the air. The talismans the Goodlies had, however, did nothing to protect them as this was pure chemistry without a drop of magic. It didn't take long for the room and hall way to be filled with a thick, light blue smoke that blocked out all viability.

Trixie smiled for a moment but it slowly turned into a frown. Her team she knew would be fine as Vinyl was undead as such didn't need to breathe and like Trixie, Cluck opted for a mobile armory in the form of his utility belt. Only unlike her hat, his belt pouches were enchanted with something to make them bags of holding. And she knew he had gas masks in there somewhere. And both were capable of fighting blind. But she couldn't hear any coughing at all which meant that the goodlies can also handle the gas.

Trixie's ears twitched when she heard the sounds of hoof steps getting closer to the fighting and used her magic to create a phantom sound of hoof taps in a pattern that her teammates knew were a way of asking if it was a friend and listened for a reply. What she got was the sound of pieces of metal hitting the floor where she made the noise. Now knowing that this was one of her opponents she pulled a flash bomb out of her hat and tossed it. Once it went off she could see the shadow of a pony quickly turning to look at the light. Trixie pulls a mallet pot of her hat, one made up like the one you would see in those test your strength games, and lifted it over the pony and brought it down. She had to use the long handle in order to keep her grip on the thing with her magic but she hit her mark and with some amusement, she noted how the guard's helmet made the same sound those bells on the test your strength games make when the weights hit them.

Meanwhile further in the prison.

"So we are being attacked after all. When we got word that there was a simultaneous attack led by the fox and other forces that have allied with her I figured they had missed us." A griffin said.

"Strange that our attackers snuck in pretty deep before attacking. Think we have somepony they want to spring?" A white unicorn wearing a blue cloth mask over his face that covered all but the top of his head and one eye asked.

"...Perhaps Starlight?" The griffin replied.

"The mare that was stealing cutie marks and brainwashing ponies?" The masked pony asked.

"How un-youthful." A green earthpony with ridiculously large eyebrows said with a sour look on his face.

"Or worse. It could be the one we have locked up in the Vault." The unicorn replied making the other two make a face.

"Please don't even joke about that." The griffin shuddered.

The Vault was a part of the prison dug deep below the surface with cells that take years of endless work to make. They are made of the strongest stuff and have the most powerful enchantments. It was started long ago in case the goodlies ever came across a threat they couldn't kill. At least until they could find a way to end them. So far only one of the cells has an occupant but with the way things have been going lately one of the other cells has already been prepared to hold a certain fox as many in their organization immediately believed it when word got out that they were dealing with a dark goddess.

"It makes no difference who they're trying to free. We can't let even one escape. I'm going to guard the inmates." The griffin said as he got up to leave.

"Guess that leaves us to hunt the intruders down." The masked pony said to his green companion.

"Indeed! Let us show these followers of darkness the power of our YOUTH!" The green pony cried out with tears in his eyes.

Rumble rumble creeetttttccccchhhhhhh Bang! The giant steel doors came crashing down from the musical blast. The team had finally made it to the actual prison section of this base so Vinyl had summoned her Epic weapons to blast the heavy doors in their way. Vinyl and Cluck came charging into the room followed by a pair of floating dragon skulls. In battle ready poses they looked around but found that this area which looked like a lunch room was devoid of guards.

"... Where are all the punching bags?" Vinyl asked after a moment of looking around.

"Bawk ba ba bawk?" (Think they jumped ship?)

"No." Vinyl said plainly as she looked over to the corner of the room. "You can come out. There is no hiding from me. I can smell your blood and hear your hearts beating."

"Oh my, how frightful." A voice called out as a white unicorn in some kind of military garb popped out in a poof of smoke.

"DYNAMIC ENTRY!" A green earth pony shouted out as he flipped through the air before striking at Vinyl with a powerful kick, which she was easily able to block because the guy shouted out at the top of his lungs, allowing her time to bring up her forelegs to block. And with her vampire strength she grabbed the leg and tried to slam the earth pony face first into the ground, but using his fore hooves he stopped himself and grabbed the floor with the magic ponies use to hold things with their hooves and lifted Vinyl up and brought his hind hooves down to try and smash Vinyl against the ground. Instead she managed to twist her body and land on her hind hooves and taking a page from the green pony, anchored herself and pulled him up before throwing him as hard as she could across the room where he lands on his hooves.

"I see that the flames of youth burn brightly in you! But our youth burns like Celestia's sun!" The earth pony proclaimed.

"Ummm.... I think you dropped something." Vinyl said as she picked up something black and fuzzy before tossing it over. The green pony lifted a leg and felt his forehead before gasping when he realized that one of his giant eyebrows were gone, replaced by a normal looking thin one.

"Oh no! How embarrassing! Thank you, that was very youthful of you to return this." He replied as he took out a tube and squirted something onto the fake eyebrow before placing it back on his face. "How is it?"

"A little crooked. Lower the inside a little." Vinyl said and the green pony complied. "There, it's good now."

"Now that we've both shown ourselves why don't you do the same?" The unicorn asked as he lowered part of his mask, exposing his glowing red eye. "No illusion magic will fool this eye. I can see you just fine miss Trixie." With a huff, Trixie became visible again and looked closely at the red eye that had a familiar glow that she knew well.

"Mountain heart." It was the only kind of gem with value in this world as it can't be grown with magic and are difficult to find. They're also the best gems to enchant and can hold the most mana for their size. In fact, it's the same kind of gem that's in the Alicorn Amulet. She glanced down at her amulet that glowed just as brightly as his eye from all the mana she had been pumping into it since she got it.

"Very good. You know your stuff. Perhaps we can talk magic once you get comfortable in your new cell." The unicorn stated.

"I'm so excited! The flames of my youth are burning hotter than ever before! She's so strong I might have to use the Eight Inner Gates!" The unicorn was about to scold his comrade fore even thinking of using such a dangerous technique but everypony's attention was drawn to a loud cracking sound from Vinyl turning her head too fast. The vampire was staring at the earth pony now with an unreadable expression.

"Trix, Cluck, I know we had a plan but I think we need to change it. Trix, you need to go ahead to the prisoners while Cluck fights ninja pony." Vinyl said in a rare show of seriousness.

"You realize Cluck already left right?" Trixie asked in a deadpan. "Besides, why can't Trixie take on the youthful pony and you fight the guy immune to illusions?"

"...He had so many enchanted items made for him to emulate things from old stories for his fight but there was one thing he could do on his own. Strong Heart used meditation and self-hypnoses to learn how to shut off the brains limitations on his muscles and pump himself full of adrenaline. It tore his body up but believe me it's dangerous and if this guy learned to do it to you don't want to fight him. He called it the Eight Inner Gates." Vinyl explained. "Hey, boss can you use that hat spell to swap Trix and Cluck?... Boss? Yo fluff butt!" Vinyl shouted with a frown.

"Something must be distracting her." Trixie said with concern. "But what can be bad enough she would forget us?"

In the dungeon.

"What is going on!" I demand as I look around the shaking room. No, the whole dungeon is shaking.

"Your dungeon is under attack!"

Using my Keeper vision to get a bird's eye view of my dungeon I quickly find a spot where someone tunneled straight down into my dungeon from the surface and zoom in. I don't like what I see. In the kitchen with my Bloat thrall chef and several imps is what I can only describe as a raid party made up entirely of Celestias!

"I've got just one question." A Celestia said as she walked forward from the rest of her group. "Do you like bananas?"

Author's Notes:

...I have no excuse, I'm late because I was lazy...I won't apologize for it. Also, I was going to put the fight (Trixie and Vinyl V.S. Naruto ripoff ponies) in this chapter but I really wanted to end it on that banana line as it just seemed like a good line to end a chapter and I couldn't make it work otherwise. So next chapter will have it.
