At this time, the later part of Canterlot High’s bell was heard ringing just now as more students were exiting their classrooms to get ready to go to their next assigned area. But however, even after Ben, Nyx, Sunset & Flash met up with Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Applejack, Pinkie Pie & Fluttershy & were having a good time together, there was something….amiss during each class they either attendant together or went to separately. During some classes, Ben & the rest noticed something different when they found that their favorite teachers were absent. Being slightly curious over the matter, they thought of visiting Iris Crystal who was assisting a task given to her by Principal Celestia & Vice-Principal Luna.

“Oh, everyone….what can I do for you?” Iris replied off to seeing those enter to meet with her.

“We’re sorry to bother you Iris, but there’s something that’s been bugging us.” Nyx spoke off in starting things that have her a bit on a worried note.

“As in where are some of the other teachers & staff members from Dragon Strike Force?” Flash asked off the main question that became the focus of something of not finding their favorite or best teachers in their classes.

“Yeah, Aquastroke was gonna help me out during another gym run before a future event coming up.” Rainbow Dash stated in where one gym teacher was gonna help her out, but was a no show.

“And Shorty Thinking was supposed to help me with some tools for another sewing work for designing cloths to be put on an online blog.” Rarity stated this off in what she wanted from another person that was good in helping her out.

“And what about Saber Dragon?” Applejack asked off in where another one was, but ain’t here.

“Right, plus Blazefist & Laxtinct…Terrorcreep.” Pinkie Pie nods her head while stating about more names on the list.

“Even Dragon Hope isn’t the Detention Instructor, what happened to them?” Ben asked off in seeing that already six members of Dragon Strike Force aren’t here, why was that.

“I see, I’m sorry to say this, but….we had to hire in subs for their leave of absence.” Iris responded off to look away in feeling a bit sad to tell the students this.

“But why, why did they have to leave without telling anyone?” Sunset asked off in why those six staff members are no longer around & had to leave so suddenly.

“Iris please, was it by Azure Phoenix’s order?” Ben asked off in wanting to get down to business on who had withdrawn those they knew from the school.

“No, it was…..our brother again Strikespell. He said that he has an important mission for them.” Iris shook off to say that one person had given the order to have Dragon Strike Force leave their post at Canterlot High to perform another mission separately.

“Strikespell did?” Sunset asked off surprise to hear this of who orchestrated this.

“Then I guess that means we won’t see them anymore.” Fluttershy looks down to feel blue about hearing this news of not seeing those at school.

“Don't worry, I heard that they will be planning to get back for lunch.” Iris spoke out in making some assurance that Dragon Strike Force will return around that time. “I had promised to not be delayed for your sakes. After all, Shadow Dragon keeps his promise.” She explained off this statement of trying to help make sure these students here get to still see those they know & care for a lot.

“Yeah... Sure he does. I just wish he can help us get ‘her’ here.” Ben sighs off to say this in sounding between disappointment & sorrow in where this discussion was heading towards.

“By her, you mean….Twilight?” Pinkie Pie was about to ask the question, but was cut off.

“Who else would he be asking about?” Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes in knowing this topic is about Twilight again.

“Ben…you & I both know that Shadow Dragon’s rank is lower than Strikespell. So it’s gonna be difficult for him to get Twilight here.” Iris explained that there is nothing that can be done when in military rank, the higher rank ones over rule the lower ones. “But we'll try to do everything we can, especially Cadance and Shining Armor. We’ll bring Twilight back, you know our promises.” She issued off in saying that they are gonna do all they can to help with Twilight’s situation of where she is.

“I know the situation, but thanks for the support effort.” Ben nods off lightly in seeing Iris was trying to be helpful in his case of missing Twilight. “I just hope she gets here before the Friendship Games.” Ben signed off to say this in hoping that Twilight will come here by the time of a certain game event.

“We all do Ben, it be somethin’ fer sure.” Applejack patted Ben’s back in being supportive of the thought.

Many heads were nodding in agreement to that, they all hope Twilight will come to them.

“Fluttershy darling, are you alright? You look so unwell.” Rarity asked off in noticing that Fluttershy seem a little…drowsy, like she wasn’t feeling well.

“Do you need to go to the nurse’s office?” Nyx asked off if the kind hearted girl needs to visit the nurse.

“No, its fine…I just…haven’t been getting enough sleep lately.” Fluttershy stated to say this in feeling very tired, like she hasn’t gotten enough sleep.

Then from a bag that Sunset was carrying, popped two Mini-Cons we know that tend to get into certain trouble.

“What are you two doing here & sneaking in a girl’s sack?” Iris raised an eyebrow in seeing Wheelie & Brains here in Canterlot High.

“Hey, we wanted to check this place out.” Wheelie stated off to say this in having a reason.

“Right; it’s boring waiting around at home.” Brains nods off to say this as their defense.

“Sorry, they kinda force me into taking them along.” Sunset shrug off to sheepishly say this that the Minions wanted to climb aboard to see the school, etc.

“By the by, my scans say there’s a scent of blood on this girl.” Wheelie stated this off to say, as he turns his sights on…Fluttershy. “Did you happen to eat anything?” He asked this off as the question made any feel shock to hear it.

“Maybe she did, raw meat sometimes got that blood you can’t shake off.” Brains replied off i thinking that if Fluttershy ate meat, maybe she got a blood stain.

“You’re kidding me, Fluttershy eating meat?” Rainbow Dash raised an eyebrow i finding that to be the weirdest thing to ever hear.

“De girl’s a vegetarian, how on Earth would she eat something’ dat was an animal?” Applejack remarked off that Fluttershy would never resort to eating the meat off an animal; she finds it cruel.

“Unless of course she walked into a butcher shop & slip & got covered in meat juice which explains the smell.” Pinkie Pie randomly suggested this off that made any find it a bit weird to even picture it.

“Wha….No, I didn’t.” Fluttershy yelped off in protesting the wild assumptions about any of that. “Terrorcreep & I saved some animals from being butchered by some hunters when they got trapped. I guess the blood hasn't got off when I was cleaning their wounds, &…left a stench.” She was explaining her case of why there was probably the scent of blood on her, because she was helping poor animals that were being mistreated.

“Well that does explain a lot, you care too much to actually eat any meat that came from forest animals.” Flash nods off to say in thinking that reason was very logical.

“That’s agreeable.” Sunset nods off in agreeing to the term very much.

“I just hope you're not a vampire. It creeps me out after Terrorcreep did a rescue attempt from human trafficking!” Rainbow Dash exclaimed off in not wanting to see if Fluttershy was to turn into a vampire in which from seeing what Terrorcreep once did, well…the event still is haunting.

“You mean using the quotes from Liam Neeson from Taken? That was kinda awesome, but scary too. I almost tinkled, but….” Pinkie Pie was randomly stating something off here, & would have continued except…

“Stop darling, too much information…” Rarity stopped the pink girl from going too much deeper i the subject that slightly disgusted her.

“But still, we did see what happened & it was still freaky ta see.” Applejack nods off in stating what they saw was something that was freaky to be sure.

“Gulp….yeah….I hated that a lot. I was gonna have a big nightmare of that. I'd never wanna see that guy so ticked off for as long as I live.” Rainbow Dash gulped a bit hard in worry about seeing Terrorcreep when he gets mad, it’s scary.

“Me too…” Nyx nods in also agreeing on the subject too.

“Yeah, I think we’re all on agreement when Terrorcreep gets really mad, it’s scary to handle….especially if it involves Fluttershy.” Ben pointed off in mentioning this to be careful not to get on Terrorcreep’s bad side.

“He's just protective since I lost my parents. And he's the only person I feel like he’s family to me, I know that I call him Uncle Terrorcreep, & sometimes….it’s like I’m talking to my father when I’m around him.” Fluttershy explained this off to everyone about what Terrocreep does, despite his scary behavior, the guy has been good to the kind hearted girl.

“I think that’s enough of that, I believe you were told after class to head to the auditorium for a little announcement from Celestia!” Iris exclaimed to say this while changing the subject to another matter that will be something to focus on.

The others nod in having heard this as many began to leave Iris Crystal’s office. Wheelie & Brains got in Sunset’s sack bag to be carried while being told to not make a scene. However, as Fluttershy was the last one to leave the office, something caught her attention…it was the discussion about the blood scent, to which someone else, was catching on.

“You lied to them to conceal the matter.” Iris silently stated this off to the girl.

“I’m sorry.” Fluttershy apologized for the matter of lying to everyone.

“Taking a blood sample of Terrorcreep when he came back injured, & injecting it into yourself. It may have caused a backwash of your own blood that you coughed up.” Iris explained the serious case of what the kind girl most likely did.

“How…did you know?” Fluttershy asked off shock in how Iris knew what she did.

“I’ve seen a similar cause of mutation & experimentations, it wasn’t pretty. You’re lucky the dosage you took is very small, but it’s currently still in your system. Yet your friends are concern of your health.” Iris explained off to say this while being most concern for Fluttershy’s condition as were others.

“I’m sorry, but I don’t want them to know what I did.” Fluttershy looked down in feeling sorry about this.

“Fluttershy, I understand you want to protect yourself & get stronger, but becoming a vampire is out of the question.” Iris approached Fluttershy to hold her shoulders to kneel down to eye level to consult with the girl.

“But…I’m a weak girl…I can’t amount to much unlike the others.” Fluttershy looked down in feeling that she can’t do much as she is not physical strong or have a well talented mind to think out things.

“Even still, do you know how furious & angry Terrorcreep is gonna get when he learns what you did?” Iris stood up to look down to Fluttershy, before she took out a compact mirror that revealed; the girl’s mouth. “And your teeth, look at them…there are the front parts that are becoming more fancy then before.” As she stated, Fluttershy’’s front teeth were more….’fang-like’ then they would be normally.

“Oh no….” Fluttershy yelps in seeing this as she shut her mouth to conceal the fangs from being noticed.

“You need to see someone from Azure Phoenix’s side that can dissolve the vampire essence from your blood stream before it becomes too close to permanent. You need to tell your friends this too about your condition.” Iris explained the case that Fluttershy needs help to dissolve the vampire blood from taking over the girl’s system that will become permanent.

“Please, don’t tell anyone yet, even my friends. I don’t want them to be ashamed & not be with me because of this.” Fluttershy pleaded for the woman to not let anyone know about this.

“Very well, I hope you know what you’re doing, but one way or another, you have to tell them. Lying is not going to help before…” Iris sternly, but slowly accepts the girl’s devotion of the matter, but wants her to know…lying will not get one anywhere especially when….it becomes too late to do anything.

“Before….I become a full-fledge vampire?” Fluttershy slowly responded in knowing what the woman was gonna say in sounding a bit scared.

“Yes, you won’t be able to withstand sunlight. Which means the time you spend helping animals during the daytime, if your outside, your skin will burn. Can you even live such a life with your friends after that?” Iris was explaining the sacrifice this young teen girl will give up if she goes through becoming a vampire.

“Gulp…” Fluttershy swallowed hard in feeling a bit concern & worried now, she didn’t think that far ahead. “How…how long until it becomes permanent?” She meekly asked off in concern of how long she has.

“Judging by the side effects of drowsiness & the little red between the eyes of lacking sleep after a full night of rest, you have less than 72 hours. But take this…” Iris stated in inspecting the girl, knowing how long she most likely has, but then gives her…a little white medicine jar with a yellow ‘X’ on a ‘V’ form looking like a bat.

“What is it?” Fluttershy asked off in studying the medicine jar she clutch in her hand to which it was hidden from being small.

“When Terrorcreep bite his targets & in-turn makes them become vampires, Shorty & the other scientist develop this capsule that helps stop the process.” Iris explained what the medicine she gave to Fluttershy is, something to stop the process of one turning completely into a vampire. “You should also be aware that another side effect may cause you to want blood when you’re hungry, which means…anything will do that your instincts find acceptable.” She gave a forewarned matter that Fluttershy will reach a stage in where she wants to suck blood, & her instincts will overpower her thought of logic to satisfy her hunger.

“You…you don’t mean…my friends?” Fluttershy yelps in fear of learning about this; that sounds WAY too scary to imagine.

“The moment you feel a strange urge & your mind becomes clouded, take the capsules. Gaining strength by losing what makes you, you…is not real strength. Even Shadow Dragon had to learn that the hard way.” Iris explained the matter that if Fluttershy feels an inch of anything strange, like losing one’s self in becoming a vampire, to take the capsules because giving up one’s normal life does not mean one will be happy in what they end up becoming; even she & her love know better.

Fluttershy was silent in having heard this, but slowly nods in agreement to what Iris Crystal was telling her. With that, the kind hearted girl leaves the room to catch up to her friends, while concealing something with a lie….can she tell them of what she did recently? That remains to be seen, as everything fads out from what we see will happen next.

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

The scene opens to the auditorium at this time as many of the students had gathered at this time. Right now, Fluttershy was later seen with her group of friends, before seeing their principal & vice-principal come forth to make an appearance while getting some attention.

“Attention students, we have an announcement to make. So I hope you are paying attention here.” Principal Celestia spoke out in having got everyone to pay attention to her while she spoke to a stand-up mike.

“As of now, Canterlot High will be conducting a Charity Event, in which all students are free to participate.” Vice-Principal Luna exclaimed forth in announcing this for all of those that were listening to know what they are planning.

This caught the attention of those that were listening in as this charity event sounded like something nice to do. Even Sunset & her group of friends found this idea to be very helpful in many areas….

“Oh my, well this sounds exciting, don’t you agree?” Rarity exclaimed to say this in having heard what they may be doing.

“Right, not every day we get ta perform fer a charity cause.” Applejack nods off to smile, doing a charity thing is a good deed after all.

“Oh-oh! I wonder what the theme is gonna be! I hope its party planning!” Pinkie Pie smiled forth in thinking about that being the topic of what they can do.

“Now this Charity Event will be something you all can decide on a theme. Know that your hard work will help others out there in need.” Principal Celestia announced forth this message in informing all students of what their efforts will do for the future of helping out.

“So as of now, after your home room classes this earlier start, periods afterwards will be on hold for those that partake in this while earning credit.” Vice-Principal Luna issued forth in mentioning this that their main focus will be on the charity event & if everyone that wants to help will be given grade point credits.

That got many students to rail up in almost cheering with excitement; a chance to miss out of some study periods, quizzes & test, & exams. It was clear everyone was gonna take part in this, even those from the Mane Five & Sunset’s group showed they were gonna be interested to partake too.

“Sweet! We get to have fun time all through the day!” Rainbow Dash exclaimed off in liking the sounds of this more & more.

“But, is it okay…missing classes to partake in a charity event?” Fluttershy asked off in thinking they will miss out on any learning.

“Why not, most of the teachers are subs, so….why not make the best use of it?” Flash shrug off to say that most of those they knew are gonna be around, so may as well take the advantage of the matter.

“Flash has a point.” Sunset nods off to say in kinda agreeing with her lover o the thought.

“Alright everyone, you may go out now & set up booths for your choice charity theme. You may also pair up into groups if you like.” Principal Celestia announced these other matters to which many of the students were liking to hear.

“And know that if there is something the school can’t provide, ask permission before leaving grounds to acquire something for your booths.” Vice-Principal Luna issued off to say this i what any student that needs to be off school ground needs to ask the adults first before acting.

Now all of the students were quickly heading out the exit doors, as they were gonna get to work on their own charity theme for the event they are partaking in. Everyone was pairing up with those & taking about theme types, looks like the school is gonna be busy with its next subject.

“Ohh…..this is exciting! I need to go home & pick up some outfits I been saving for JUST such an occasion!” Rarity exclaimed to say this in being unable to contain her excitement; she has the perfect stuff for use to be display for all to see.

Then Rarity rushed down the steps lightning fast, but didn’t pay attention that Nyx got bumped & almost was gonna fall….Until she was caught by her hand, & helped up by…Pipsqueak.

“You okay Nyx?” Pipsqueak asked off in helping the girl that almost fell to be more balance now.

“Oh, Pipsqueak, yah, I’m good.” Nyx replied off to say in kinda blushing for the help, which she thanked for.

“Okay so long as you’re okay….um…” Pipsqueak nods off to say while blushing to rub his back neck in about to ask something.

“What is it?” Nyx raised an eyebrow in what the boy was gonna ask her.

“Well, if you don’t mind, I was wondering if….you could help me in the charity event.” Pipsqueak blushed a bit to rub his shoe on the ground nervously in asking if Nyx would be a part of his team to help out.

“Sure thing, what’s the problem?” Nyx replied off in being happy to help out a friend.

“Well….I don’t know what kind of theme could help.” Pipsqueak slowly spoke off in admitting this that he was drawing a blank in what charity theme he could use for the event.

“Maybe we can help ye out!” Then popping in was Apple Bloom followed by the other Crusaders in having heard the problem.

“Right, if you need help, the Crusaders can assist.” Sweetie Belle smiled off in offering to help the boy with his problem here.

“Yeah, we can make your booth awesome, no time flat!” Scootaloo exclaimed forth in sounding with confidence in what they can do to help Pipsqueak.

“Um, well….I was hoping that with everyone so busy, that maybe if Nyx was….” Pipsqueak was kinda tapping his fingers to look at Nyx, thinking that the two of them…maybe together could…

“Its fine Pipsqueak, I’ll help you. We’ll all help you out.” Nyx smiled off to simply say this in how they can all be helping out together.

Pipsqueak smiled in having heard that before the Crusaders soon pulled him away to talk about booth & decoration ideas for a charity theme. Nyx giggled at seeing them go, but smiled for a bit before the rest of the gang came to her.

“Awe, isn’t that cute….he likes you!” Pinkie Pie smiled near Nyx in stating that Pipsqueak likes her. “And I bet you likes him right back!” She stated off in seeing that Nyx might even return the same feelings.

“No surprise, Nyx has been pretty good friends with Pipsqueak.” Applejack nodded off in thinking Nyx & Pipsqueak do get along.

“Eh…..um…well, you see we’re…” Nyx was blushing a bit red in suddenly being pressure with the thoughts of she & Pipsqueak have a ‘thing’ going on.

“Heh, you blush real fast when it comes to the guy, hugh?” Rainbow Dash smiled off to lightly tease Nyx in seeing it wasn’t hard to tell who Nyx liked.

“Heh, well Pipsqueak is a good guy, I can kinda tell.” Ben nodded off with a smile for the thought; before he felt a bit sadden. “It’s almost like how me & Twilight started off.” Ben got sad from seeing Nyx & Pipsqueak, reminds him of how him & Twilight started out; such memories…

“Hey, cheer up pal, I got an idea. Why not put your all into your part of the charity event for Twilight to be proud of.” Flash spoke to cheer Ben up to get out of his mood while thinking up an idea in now to give a message out to Twilight during the Charity Event.

“That’s a great idea, Flash. I’m sure that Twilight would know your heart is in the right place for doing something for charity.” Sunset replied off to say in agreement while having Ben think that idea could help out a lot.

“You think so?” Ben looked back in having a chance to rethink things a bit before slowly nodding in coming to terms. “Yeah, your right…she would think that was a good thing to do. Alright, I won’t keep sulking over the matter, we’re gonna do this so that even Twilight will be proud of our effort.” He declared forth in having come to a decision, he’s gonna pour his heart to help in this charity event so that Twilight will know he’s hanging i there.

The group smiled in seeing that Ben was gonna be okay, before they too had to get up & get going. For they need to find themselves a nice booth spot & then plan on things in what they are gonna be doing together. The scene begins to fad out around now as the school was gonna be busy with everyone so motivated.

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

Meanwhile, in a dark office in where we find Smaug sitting by his desk overseeing the operations, one of his suited underlings came in to speak with him.

“What is it?” Smug asked off in seeing someone was here to report to him.

“Boss. They said its time to move the next shipment out.” A thug looking underling stated to hold a billboard that had a list of their schedule of shipments.

“Very well…” Smaug replied off to say in turning his seat to stare out at his monitor screen that showed multiple images of cameras watching different areas that were spread around town. “I want these crates move carefully to the rendezvous point. And be sure that you weren't followed! These are very valuable & important crates. It must delivered to them quietly while avoiding any trouble at all cost!” He was giving strict orders to his followers to make sure the package goods get sent to the right locations without someone following them as the contents are too important to be lost.

“Yes, sir!” The thug nods off in having heard the order, & will obey without disagreeing.

Smaug turn his screen on to display what was shown moving trucks leaving a facility compound, as they scatter to go in different directions.

“And so it begins... the final fall of Humanity.” Smaug exclaimed forth in mentioning this in what was currently underway here.

“Right boss.” The thug nods off in having heard what Smaug was stating.

“First, getting these crates delivered to their locations & assuring no one other than our employment & employer discover them.” Smug exclaimed the first stage of this plan in making sure no one outside of this little ‘illegal’ action is discovered by any official or authority connected types.

“About that boss, we had some snags about Dragon Strike Force almost being on our tail in the past. Will we be okay now?” The thug rubbed his back head in recalling what they encountered in the past, someone trying to stop them.

“Ah, but that was the past, thanks to someone’s help from the inside. They will not be a bother.” Smaug exclaimed to say this with upmost confidence that those from the military will not be bothering them. “Dark Curse, Cobra Commander, even Galvatron, will be pleased with the work. Project End will soon commenced on its next due date.” He stated how everything will be on schedule for those he’s dealing with.

“Um, boss…” The thug spoke off in having something else to say.

“Hmmm?” Smaug turn to the thug in awaiting what else was there to be reported.

“We’ve sent two of our men to pick up a certain….package good with a tradeoff of payment.” The thug looked at the paper in knowing what else is going down at this time.

“Ah, perfect….I look forward to obtaining the final piece to the puzzle.” Smaug smiled off in stating this in what he will gain from another deal that was done; all to complete something big in the end.

At this time, the scene zooms away from the suspicious facility, as we find many different areas. Many what look like Toy Trucks were making roundabouts at local shops, with uniform dress truck delivers bringing in toy crates into places as certain folks are seen signing papers & employees take the crates in the back for unloading. This was happening all over town, many trucks making delivers that didn’t seem suspicious. Of course, during one delivery, someone in a vehicle who was reading the newspaper with his windows open & sipping coffee…was peeking through his shades to see the actions going on before picking up something to keep it concealed.

“Get me through to office, tell Firmtact that we have a report on the matter.” Some undercover guy spoke off in the radio in making a report to somewhere.

Things begin to go dark around here as the guy that was only watching things play out was staying at his post while not looking too suspicious.

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

Soon we find what looks to be an office in a main branch building that was a few floors up. The room was dark saved for the blinds letting in the light, as there was a desk with someone working. It was a brownish fat woman dressed in her purple suit, was sitting down & reading the latest news about certain events while drinking a cup of tea. Just then, the door to her office was opening that let in an old man dressed in his bluish military suit as he approached the woman.

“Pardon the intrusion, Firmtact.” The old man spoke off to the woman by the desk.

“Tarkin?” The woman known as Firmtact replied off in addressing the old man. “What do you have to report?” She asked off in a rash tone in her voice as if getting straight down to business.

“We found some strange activity on Smaug again, despite what we were informed that they were delivering what seem like toy crates only to locate shops.” Tarkin reported out the manner of what was involving Smaug & about the trucks that made strange delivers. “But we both know something's not right when it looks like harmless materials.” He stated that there was more going on than just Smaug delivering toys for children to play with, there was more than meets the eye.

“Yes... Cunning Fury may not have taken this seriously. But I & Strikespell are. He must have gotten involved with Project End.” Firmtact lightly nods her head in agreement on the subject while rubbing her chin, feeling that Smaug was up to something that only so few are taking more measures than others.

“And you think there's the connection?” Tarkin raised an eyebrow in thinking that Smaug is connected to ‘Project End’ if it’s possible.

“Maybe... But the only way to find out, is to expose the truth.” Firmtact exclaimed in sounding serious about this matter to figure out what connections Smaug has made recently. “We've got lots of work to do. Bring in those two out of their little comfort zones.”

“Those two, as in…?” Tarkin was about to say until it was spoke out for him.

“Twilight Sparkle and Trixie Lulamoon, I want them both involved in this. It's time we finish Shorty's mysterious case of Project End & Rainbow Energon.” Firmtact explained the case in clutching her fingers across her desk in explaining the matter of who to recruit in in order to finish what was left unfinished.

“You're not serious.” Tarkin asked out in being a bit against this little decision. “You're not actually thinking we should put two teenagers & criminals together on our special force, aren't you?” He found the idea more crazy then just having criminals force into service, now they gotta put in two innocent teens.

“Is there a problem with that?” Firmtact asked off in narrowing her eyes in making a small remark to what someone was saying in….disagreement.

“Well, um…” Tarkin stop himself in not knowing how to proceed any further without upsetting the woman.

“I’m well aware of this, as I want this to be done sooner than later. We must solve the case before it’s too late. In the hopes of knowing what Project End really is.” Firmtact explained the matter that despite the weight of it all, they need to end whatever Project End is before it’s too late; by any means of use.

“But after the last mission involving the Dark Terrorists & the arrest of Sombra & Chrysalis, Azure Phoenix was wanting those two to be kept off the grid.” Tarkin stated in recalling what Azure Phoenix wanted as the once high ranking command until his recently leave.

“He’s not giving the orders around here, Strikespell is.” Firmtact exclaimed this off in sounding very firm, & very serious in piercing the subject with her sharp wit. “Besides, those two have skills that can be useful even without enough basic combat training. Twilight Sparkle is Crystal Prep’s brightest student mind, her intellect will serve as the brains. As for Trixie Lulamoon, well…even a trickster, can be tricked into playing in our hands when we hold the cards, especially concerning of her past & someone she’s connected to that if word got out, her life would end.” She explained off that even with lack of real combat training, Twilight & Trixie have different uses that may prove useful, some are more of need of a ‘push’ to get them in the right direction without backing up.

“I….see…you thought ahead.” Tarkin slowly responded in defeat, seeing Firmtact knew what was needing to get the job done.

“Now that we cleared up the little matter, it’s time. Assemble Task Force X.” Firmtact spoke in a clear tone in wanting the matter solved & to call in their task force. “We’re going to get things done right, even if we have to break a few eggs to make an omelet.” She issued this off in stating this factor of what it will take to make what they are aiming for, be done…right.

With that, this scary little scenery begins to come to a close. As if something freaky is about to go down that may involve those from past magical & scientific events.

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

Meanwhile, we spot Rarity rushing along the streets in carrying with her a black suitcase that she was using two hands to hold. She looked to be rushing & exhaling a lot as she obviously came back from her home & is trying to setback to school for the Charity Event.

“Oh my, that took longer than expected, but….I finally got the right designs for the charity!” Rarity exclaimed to say this in knowing that the lateness will be forgiven from what she’s bringing.

Rarity continued running along the lane path just before she was turning around a sharp corner without paying attention to what else was coming around, and….

“Ugh!” Rarity yelped from bumping across something that knocked her down & knock her case off. “Ow-ow, what did I hit?” She rub her head in pondering what she bumped into all of a sudden.

Rarity then looks up in noticing that some big, tough, rough looking gentlemen wearing black suits & hats with shades that make them look conspicuous, were seen looking at the girl. Once more, Rarity apparently knock their suit case off one of their hands to clutter with her own.

“Oh, pardon me gentlemen, I didn’t see where you were going, my….you wear such…interesting suits.” Rarity apologized off to those that she bumped into without warning. “Ah, I mustn’t be late, the school is around the corner!” She stated in knowing that she can’t be delayed any further.

Rarity quickly grabbed her suitcase from the two mix cases, as she was rushing off pass the gents without staying for long. As for the two men in suits, they looked to another in pondering what that was about.

“What was that about?” The first suit guy asked off puzzled.

“Who cares, let’s keep going.” The second suit guy replied off in not being bothered.

“Right, boss wants this case.” The first suit guy stated in knowing what they gotta do here.

“And his patience is very thin.” The second suit guy stated in what they need to do or else.

Soon the two suit guys bend down to pick up the black case that they wanted to continue moving along the way. After a bit of catching up to do, Rarity soon meets up with her friends at Canterlot High as they had set up their booth outside in preparing for their part of the Charity Event.

“Hello everyone! I hope I’m not fashionably late!” Rarity waved out to her friends in being glad to have made it even from being waited upon.

“Yer not fashionably earlier either.” Applejack remarked off to say that Rarity isn’t early when having needed to come here.

“Hey, how are you guys doing?” Then appearing at this moment was Golden Heart, Pinkamena & Jack Zen, Goldie was the first to speak to the rest by their booth.

“Golden Heart, Pinkamena, Jack Zen, you all partaking this too?” Flash Sentry asked off in seeing those that were here at this time.

“Yeah, though we’re still deciding what to go with?” Jack Zen rub the back of his head in admitting this dilemma on their part.

“So, what are your thoughts for the charity event?” Pinkamena asked off in starting a little conversation.

“We thought about mixing everyone’s ideas together for one large booth with a lot of theme choices.” Sunset smiled off in stating what it was that they are doing together for their charity theme part as a group.

“I’ve put together an awesome rock theme!” Rainbow Dash showed off a spot with a lot of rock-n-roll theme stuff.

“Ah gather some farm themes like apples.” Applejack proudly showed her farming theme spot, even a few apples for tasting.

“I’ve placed some party items for my side!” Pinkie Pie smiled off in showing her spot that was filled with lots of party decorations.

“Um, and I place some cute little animal things right here…um, if everyone’s okay with it.” Fluttershy meekly spoke in showing what she has here that she wanted everyone to see, while hoping it was okay.

“Sunset & I already made our stuff, Ben’s using a star display for his.” Flash pointed in what the two did together while looking at what Ben’s done.

“It’s cause I wanted it to be something Twilight would like. My other idea was using pirate theme, but that’s…kinda something I think my dad is into.” Ben showed off some stars with scientific stuff like for those that like star gazing; something he felt was more what Twilight enjoy than another idea he had.

“The Crusaders & I have our booth way down there….we’re planning to help Pipsqueak with a lot of ideas.” Nyx smiled in pointing in a direction of where she was gonna help her own group of friends in a spot too.

“Man, you guys are ahead of yourselves. But, where’s Rarity’s theme?” Goldie exclaimed to say in seeing this, but one member was short on what to display.

“It’s right in this case, prepare to be amazed! Ta-da!” Rarity exclaimed with a smiling pride, as she showed her black case to which…she opened for all to bear-witness.

Once everyone looks at what the contexts were inside Rarity’s suit case, their expressions went from smiling interest to…..ghastly horrors. For what they were seeing, was unlike anything they were expecting, especially from Rarity of all people. Their faces seem to turn nearly blue in not knowing how to tell their friend this when asked about their thoughts, but….honesty is better than lying, but this just seem like not the good time to lie.

“Well, I can tell that your silence means you are stun by the designs, yes?” Rarity exclaimed with a smile i seeing everyone was amazed by what she brought.

“Stun, no, more like SHOCKED out o’ our minds!” Applejack protest off to say this in looking so shocked, her wide eyes are still open & sweating something fierce.

“Oh Applejack, I assure you, they are fine. I design them myself.” Rarity smiled off in thinking that AJ was pulling her leg over the comment.

“Wait, did you ask Shorty for help in making these?” Rainbow Dash asked off in disbelief in thinking Rarity got a smart guy to help her make THESE things from the case.

“Well no, but why would you ask that?” Rarity puzzled off to say in rather not following this development.

“Um, well we’re not judging you, but…these might be too much of a theme for a charity event.” Fluttershy meekly spoke in feeling a bit concern & worried about telling their friend about what they think of her ‘design’ from her case that they find….overwhelming; but in a not good way.

“What’s gotten into you all, I thought you like these wardrobes,” Rarity raised an eyebrow in finding these strange actions weird, especially since her clothing designs were very nice to be seen.

“But those aren’t clothes.” Nyx pointed off in a worried & scared tone.

Rarity was puzzled before looking at the case to find & show….the same thing of an expression from everyone else. She yelped to toss the case onto the booth stand, much to everyone’s alarm in thinking that was dangerous. Why, because it was filled with some freaky alien tech, that’s why. There was tech strange blaster grenade models on the bottom of the case, while above the ceiling was some silver arrow-shape oval objects that were about….TWO DOZEN OF THEM! But the weirdest thing of them all, was at the bottom with the weird grenade blaster launched things, was a weird silver design techno key that was placed there as if it was….something important.

“My goodness! Wha….wha are these?” Rarity gasped in shock in having seen what she displayed was NOT hers.

“We were hoping you could tell us.” Ben stated in hoping Rarity could fill them in on what she brought to their attention.

“I…I never seen them in my life! You don’t think I would make such things!” Rarity spoke forth in her defense over not having seen or made such things in her life.

“Well, at first, maybe, but then again….you’re not the type to make weapons.” Pinkie Pie rub her chin in thinking at one point, before pushing it aside.

“Uh oh, guys….don’t these things look like….Transformer type weaponry?” Sunset yelps in having study the case filled with weird tech stuff that seem….like alien tech from certain robotic aliens off their world.

“Gets worse….look at these things.” Pinkamena stated to look at & show what look like; silver oval shape grenades, but in a strange fashion design to look almost like… “They look like Mini Seed Versions of the real thing!” She exclaimed in what kind these mini things are that remind them of something.

“Wait, that’s that deadly weapon that could turn a whole city of organic to metal!” Goldie yelps of in recalling about such deadly weapons that could be harmful to them.

“Oh boy, blasters are one thing, but anything like the Seed is even worse! What should we do?” Jack Zen clapped his head in thinking this was bad, how are they gonna deal with this.

“Rarity, where & how did you come across these things?” Flash asked off in where the girl even came across such things.

“Well, now that I think about it….I did bump into some strange men.” Rarity was pondering her thoughts for a second until; it all became clear. “Hugh! Oh no!” She gasped in holding her hair as if something terrible came to her full attention.

“What, do you know who they were? Why they even had these?” Ben asked off if Rarity knows the answer now.

“No, WORSE! They have my designs!? Now what am I gonna do for the Charity Event?” Rarity exclaimed forth in an over-drama motion that now her case with her fabulous clothing is with those that were carrying this deadly suit case.

That caused everyone to sign & shake their heads in having heard that; Rarity is more worried about appearances than of what they got to worry right before them.

“Should we inform the principal about this?” Nyx asked off if they should tell the principal about this.

“No, already Canterlot High has dealt enough of magical & alien mayhem problems, we bring this up…it may cancel the charity event.” Sunset stop the others in fearing that this could cause a big scene to cancel the event. “I already sent Wheelie & Brains back to my place for more stuff & it’ll take them an hour or so to find them without tearing my place apart. But it looks like our best shot maybe to turn this stuff in to the local authorities.” Sunset felt that they need to quickly get this dangerous content of alien tech off the streets before anyone notices.

“That would be the right thing to do.” Flash nods of that they need to inform the authorities about this. “Going directly is smart since we’re not sure if someone may hack into the phone network.” That’s another thing to be careful about, calling on their phones to report this is just begging for trouble.

“But not all of it looks dangerous, what about this key?” Fluttershy asked off in seeing that the one thing in the case looks safe to touch.

“Careful Fluttershy, with a case full of deadly & dangerous alien weapons, who KNOWS what the key is for?” Pinkie Pie warns her friend that though it’s a key, it could be used for something they don’t know what by alien know-how.

“Um, unlocking things?” Jack Zen rub his back head in stating this fact of what keys are meant for.

“Well that’s also a possibility, but we better not touch it, just for safety concerns.” Pinkamena stated to say this in thinking it’s best to save that subject for another time.

“Then we’ll grab our bikes, skates, scooters, anything on wheels & head off…we’ll leave a note saying we went to turn something in without alerting anyone. Mom doesn’t want things to turn out bad before this event or the next upcoming games become cancel.” Ben issued this off in what they best be doing, they will have to leave here while not alerting anyone of the dangers they maybe in.

Everyone nods in agreement, the less panic will be easier to not draw a crowd. So without warning, the gang quickly leaves their both after Ben put a note on it saying ‘Dear Principal Celestia. Gone To Turn In A Lost Object, Be Back Soon. Love Ben.’, & that was it. Everything begins to blur out as everything begins to rally up as something really weird is about to go down, whatever it is….it probably isn’t good…

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

Meanwhile, the scene shows that the two suited men that bump into Rarity were seen going through her suit case to display….some nice looking clothing & wardrobe materials. Many were checking out the men sizes that seem to make them look…nice.

“Yo, does this outfit look good on me?” The first suit guy asked off in showing something that was a blue racer suit.

“Oh yeah, it matches your eyes real nice.” The second suit guy replied off in thinking the color match the guy’s eyes.

Then a sudden slam on the desk caused cause the two thugs to look back, seeing it was none other than Smaug sitting at his desk. Apparently these two were supposed to bring him something & what does he get, clothing, now he was upset.

“Tell me, what happened with the content of that case?” Smaug asked off in demand while sounding very mad & on the verge of letting loose his temper.

“We don’t know boss, we had it when we pay up with the dealer.” The first underling shrug off stupidly in saying that they had the right case when they got it.

“Then afterwards, stroll down the lane, but into some teen girl in a rush, grab her case, and…” The second underling reported off in how they are coming here before hitting a snag, then….

“Wait a moment, when did this happen?” Smaug stopped the discussion to intercept something that might be…a clue of importance.

“Just on 14th Street, on Sugarloaf & Mane about 10 minutes ago.” The first underling pointed out in recalling where the event of the snag happened at such a moment.

Smaug used his control system on his desk to show up on his monitor screen of the numbered in time & destination. Soon it showed Rarity bumping into the two suited thugs, but their cases got mix, & then Rarity ran off with….the case THEY wanted.

“You fools! Your cases were switched!” Smaug snapped off that his underlings got the case mix up with some teen girl’s same case. “It contain not only useful weapons, but one item itself is irreplaceable after using the last source of Transformium to make it.” He was upset, the case had some important stuff & one key item out of them all to play an important role. “Is there anything else you can tell me about the girl, anything at all?” He demanded to know if there was at least any helpful clues about the matter.

“Well um….Just that she was off towards her high school, boss.” The second underling held his chin to think a second before giving an answer out.

Smaug was then typing on his system to zoom in on Rarity’s face, which was being digitally scan before a record showed up; her name, address, school; Canterlot High. Seeing the name of that school made Smaug show a keen interest in what this could mean.

“Ah, so that’s it. It all makes sense…” Smaug replied off in now seeing the case become much more clearer to him. “Get together the rest of the men & find that case.” He gave out the order to gather some men to go after the missing case.

“Sure thing boss, we’ll find her real quick.” The first underling saluted in hearing & willing to obey to find whoever has what is theirs.

“And what’ll we do if she snuck a peek?” The second underling asked this question about after they nab the girl that has what they want.

“The schedule for what we’re doing can’t be complete without the last piece of material from that case.” Smaug stated off in knowing what they need is from that case which plays an important role. “So, find it, & if anyone knows about it & gets in the way….execute with extreme measurements of…rubbing them off.” He was ordering this out very slowly & clear, that if anyone has seen what was inside, then they are to be dealt with…in a manner they will never whisper what was seen ever again.

The tension was rising as the entire scenery was going dark at this time, Smaug was up to something really big, & he was not about to let anything, or anyone stop him. Whatever was gonna happen, that is something remain to be seen in what events will be played out.
