Equestria Girls: The Elements Awaken (UNDER CONSTRUCTION)
Chapter 15: Chapter 15: Welcome to Equestria
Previous Chapter Next ChapterThe group of eight were now soaring through a long stream of energy around them like they were going in hyperspace to another planet, only this was taking them to another dimension. Leaving all thoughts of the past behind, the group was ready for action and ready to fight an entity who would no doubt take over the world. During the travel, the Shadowbolts all were starting to act silly what with having the ability to float in zero gravity. Indigo started swimming around, Lemon held onto a single body pose like if she was a superhero, and even Sugarcoat was having fun just spinning around watching everything around her,
Tox watched as the girls were enjoying themselves floating and flying around in their bubble, but turned his focus onto Sunny Flare who was keeping her focus forward and looked at all of the energy flowing right by them.
"Hey Flare, enjoying the ride so far?" Tox asked as he floated right next to her.
"So far, yeah I am dearie. Its quite nice actually." Flare said looking towards Tox's scary eyes.
"Hey, uh, mind if I ask you something?"
"Sure."
"How come you always act like you're a British lady with the politeness and constantly calling people dearie?"
"I... I don't know. I guess it always comes back to my childhood. When I was a little girl, I always admired British characters on television, and I wanted to be like them. But then I found the hard truth that I'm not British unlike that Rarity girl. But I always keep the act because I want to be an actor. I wanted to be in the performing arts like with the celebrities up in Hollywood." replied Flare upside down.
"You should take that up. I'm sure you can be amazing at it."
"Well its all in a matter of landing a role. Its impossible for actors to get work these days, and some people when they audition, they don't even get a part just because some directors or writers don't like them. I don't want to be like those people."
"I understand you want to get up there in Hollywood, but I know you can do it. Just follow your own dream, the only person who's stopping you, is yourself. Just keep going for it, and I know you can do it. All you have to do is believe in yourself. I know it may sound something out of a cat poster, but it is true."
Sunny gave a smile back, and turned her head forward once more, before asking this question. "We almost there yet? We've been floating for a while now."
"We'll be there soon. Just relax and enjoy the ride." Toxigo said as he was still floating upside in front of her. And he just gave one tap on her nose making a 'boop' sound.
As Toxigo kept floating in the zero gravity environment, he stared towards Sugarcoat who seemed very unfazed by everyone floating around. Unsure if she was okay, he swam his way towards her direction and once again faced her as he was upside in her vision.
"You okay Sugar?" Toxigo asked.
"I'm fine," she said.
"I'm not so sure about that. Look, I don't want to annoy you, but I need to know if something's bothering you. That's what friends do."
"Bother people to the bone?" Sugarcoat bluntly replied.
Toxigo just stared at her unamused still upside down.
"Okay, I... Part of me is worried of how we're gonna tell our families back home. I don't think my parents are going to believe I'm flying in some portal to a magical world full of equines."
"Well how come you're worried on telling them about that?" Toxigo raised a brow and his eye gazing as a jar of peanut butter floated on by past their heads.
"Well, back in my household, no one lies. Everyone has to tell the truth or else they get kicked out of the family. It ran through my family for generations, all dating back in the 1900s. Back in that time, my great-great-great-great-great grandfather kind of betrayed my family out of a petty reason. From then on, our families through the ages had to stay 100 percent honest with each other. Couldn't lie once." Sugarcoat replied. And Toxigo could notice a tiny bit of tears coming through her eyes.
Toxigo couldn't help but float over a little closer and wipe the tears from her eyes and watched as the droplets floated in the zero gravity portal they were closed in.
"Is that why you're blunt to all of us?" Toxigo asked.
Sugarcoat couldn't help but nod sadly.
"Well, Sugarcoat there isn't anything wrong with a little bit of lying every now and then. And truth be told, I think that's going to be a powerful weapon to use against the Chrysalis and her changelings."
"Well why do you say that?" Sugarcoat asked, bending her glasses down.
"Because changelings are masters of deception, highly manipulative and compulsive liars. They can take on any of our forms and can sneak right under our noses. So you've got to learn to lie and know when someone is lying. Something we need to work on."
Sugarcoat just nodded in response and their conversation apparently got the others attention, and someone else spoke up.
"So, you said these changelings can pose as anyone?" Sour asked.
"That's correct." Toxigo replied.
"Well, okay, this leads to my question. Do they have anything they feed off of? Something we can use against them?" Sunny asked.
"There is one thing. Changelings feed off of the love you have for someone. That makes them very powerful. So, while we're there, please don't act all lovey dovey around anyone, please? If you can?"
"Got it, no falling in love." Flash replied.
"Got it dude." Lemon replied.
"Perfect." Toxigo smiled. He checked the screen on his synthetic arm and picked up the time. "Okay, we should be there soon."
"Um, Toxigo?" Sour asked.
"Yes Sweets?" Tox answered.
"You did plan for how we'd land onto the surface right?" Sour asked sounding very nervous.
Tox's face crept with confusion and it drooped to a realization. "Oh yeah that's what I forgot."
"WHAT!?" Everyone except for Echo shouted.
"Okay, so I might have forgotten to plan how to get us down, but I'm sure we'll land safely."
Indigo just looked furious at Toxigo. "Are you freaking kidding me!? We're not gonna survive if we just crash!"
"I know! Okay, does anyone have an idea?" Toxigo asked.
"Why not that amulet around your neck?" Flash asked.
Toxigo's eyes bulged out of his head. "No! I can't! Anything but that! That infernal thing's the reason I almost killed Indigo!" Toxigo shouted.
"But we know that thing's powerful. I think you can make energy shields to surround all of us when we go to the surface!" Sunny replied.
"But... but what if it begins corrupting me again!? I don't want to go through that again!"
"I don't think you have much of a choice here!" Sugarcoat shouted.
Toxigo looked ahead and saw the portal was showing the outside of the entire planet of Equestria. Their space journey was becoming closer to an end. Toxigo sadly didn't want to use the amulet after what he went through before, but he certainly didn't want everyone to not make it in the crash.
"Ugh, alright! Even though there's probably a thousand other ways we could handle this situation and thousands of other ideas we can plan out that could get us on the ground safer, I'll do it." Toxigo held the amulet around his neck and it began to illuminate.
His one eye that was now red glowed once again and became an even more scarier and darker red than it had before. Soon everyone became surrounded blue shield bubbles as they began descending towards the end of the portal. Soon giant amounts of flame soared past the shields as they soon began to enter the atmosphere....
Down on the ground of Ponyville, night time had taken place.
"The stars are so beautiful this time of night." Twilight remarked staring at the constellations.
Twilight had been leaning against a railing at her own castle watching the stars. But however her mind was pondering over the strange letter she gotten from 'Sunset'. She had no idea the message was from Toxigo who signed it as Sunset just to get Twilight to shut down the portal. She had sent a letter to Princess Celestia asking her to come quickly as possible and she made the promise to arrive tomorrow.
As her eyes gazed back up at the starry night, something in the sky had caught her attention. 8 white dots that were in the shape of one of the constellations were slowly moving down from the sky, and it looked as if they were going to crash into Equestria.
"Wait a minute... there was no warning of a meteor shower. Oh no..."
Twilight noticed the 8 meteors were becoming closer and closer towards Ponyville. And she had never seen anything like it. The meteors flew over some houses, right past Twilight's castle, crashing in a spot over near a hill and a small lake. The crashes had dug into the dirt, and there was steam coming from each one of the objects. The rescue team had crash landed to Equestria.
The next day, it was a beautiful day with a sun shining. The birds were out chirping, the folks were out walking, and the grass was moving to the wind blowing. There were lots of animals out playing, leaping and jumping about, and many bugs out buzzing and zooming.
The group had survived the crash but unfortunately, the 5 Bolts along with Flash were too tired to get up, so Echo and Toxigo ended up creating beds out of sheets they pulled out from their saddle bags, with another sheet on top being blankets and beds and got them all tucked in. Toxigo tried assembling his own bed but he fell asleep just trying to and just rested on the bed, all the while Echo stood outside of their little half circle in sleep mode. She continued to stand asleep until her audio frequencies kicked in at the sound of moving hooves.
"Paralysis Systems. Echo Dash, online."
Echo turned her head to see Toxigo finally awake and stretching his legs and his back just trying to get up.
"Good morning, Master Toxigo." Echo said.
"Morning Echo." Toxigo yawned.
"I trust you had a good night's sleep."
"Well if you can count falling asleep trying to assemble your own bed, yes." Toxigo said. As he scratched his eyes he noticed Echo in front of him had now taken on a new form. She wasn't the same human he had designed, but rather now in the form of the pony equivalent to Rainbow Dash. She still had some skin torn off around her eye and a few dents and scratches torn on her skin as well, but she was still standing.
"Did you..." Toxigo began.
"Entering in Equestria's atmosphere has changed all of our physical forms into ponies, I myself concluded. No damage detected."
Toxigo sighed in relief. "You're able to adapt walking like that right?"
"That is correct. Data files on horse movement have been loaded into my memory banks, therefore I am able to adapt as a pegasus in this new form." Echo replied.
Toxigo turned his head to the side seeing all 6 of them asleep and twitching in their dream lands. Indigo was lying herself on Lemon's back, Sugarcoat was sleeping on her back like a vampire, Flash was on his side while his head rested on a pillow, and Sunny and Sour were cuddled close to each other for warmth.
"Echo, are you able to assemble breakfast from the foods I've brought with us?"
"Affirmative."
"Good. I'm gonna, look around for a bit, get an idea of where we are, and then I'm gonna jump into the lake to get myself up."
"Aye, Aye, sir." Echo replied.
Toxigo began trotting along the path, just taking in the peaceful scenery around him. He had never seen such a relaxing and beautiful scenery in his life. The Everfree forest sadly wasn't this relaxing, but then again, he always showed up at bad times during the year for it. His eye gazed at the trees moving in the little bit of wind, he watched as a small little stream of water run beside him, the grass moving to the sounds of nature, and the birds singing in the air. He had never felt so relaxed. Along with walking among the path, he began singing a little tune to himself.
Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale about a faithful trip
that started from the planet Earth, your mind will need a grip
The boss was a mighty unicorn
the rocker swave and cool
Five Shadowbolts flew with that day for a universal tour, a universal tour...
The landing started getting rough, the tiny crew were tossed,
if not for the courage of the fearless crew, the members would be lost,
the members would be lost
The group set ground on a patch of this uncharted giant world....
With Toxigo.... the rocker too
The athletic chick... and the blunt...
the lesbian... the acting coach and Sour Sweet
Here on Toxigo's world.....
Toxigo then approached an end of the path as he found himself on the side of a hill and found a sign next to a bit of a fence that read 'Welcome to Ponyville'.
"Huh, Ponyville. Weird name for a town." Toxigo muttered to himself before turning around and walking back.
Toxigo's hooves clopped along the path as he approached the lake their camp was set up near. Then, taking a deep breath, taking a step back, he ran up, and made a jump into the giant lake almost like a pool dive. Surprisingly the sound of the splashing water didn't wake any of them up. He swam underneath, and then rose his head up swaying his wet mane out of his face. However bits of it were still wet and end up getting stuck to the side of his face.
"Huh, guess there isn't always good things to having a huge mane." Toxigo swam his little pony legs across the river and walked onto the grass, still dripping wet from the cool water.
He shook himself like a dog getting water off itself, and walked over to Echo who handed him a towel to dry himself off. "Oh what I wouldn't give to spend a day at the beach." Toxigo calmly said.
He took a seat around the burning fire, and soon the smell of fresh bacon and pancakes got all of their attention. They began trotting out to the fire pit and none of them even noticed they were different forms yet.
"Morning Toxy." Indigo said as she rubbed her eyes not realizing they were hooves, and once her vision cleared she was now staring at a green pony with a blazing demonic eye.
"Dah! Toxy, did you..." Indigo began.
"Yes Indigo, I'm a unicorn. Our crash into the atmosphere changed our forms so now we're ponies. Hence why I'm a pony, and that's why Echo's now a pony." Toxigo replied.
"Oh. Okay, well, that does explain the hooves." Indigo said nonchalantly. Suddenly her eyes widened to the realization. "Wait... why do I have hooves!?"
"Really? You're only now noticing this?" Tox rhetorically asked.
The others caught on and noticed their different forms, and as they looked back up their eyes began twitching. Well, except for Flash.
"Oh no." Flash said.
All five of them froze their faces in shock and in terrified news, all screamed loudly so hard that glass shattered all over town, birds flew from their nests and even ponies fell down in shock. Their sounds echoed all the way across Equestria, so everyone could pick it up for miles.
"Uh-- You can stop now. No, you're all fine." Tox tried saying over their screaming, but they still kept going. And at somepoint their pitches were beginning to hurt his glass eye in his face. "No, please, please stop!"
4 Minutes Later Which Feels Like An Eternal Hour Later
Flash raised a hoof to a metaphorical watch on his supposed wrist, and then placed it back down on the dirt before saying "One hour, that's a new record."
Tox grew tired of them screaming, until the glass eye in his face shattered and he screamed in agony. He ran off to the medic kit and using his magic, pulled the glass out of his eye, and covered it with a bandage and a new eyepatch, making him furious. And out of anger of them still screaming, he raised them into the air using the Alicorn Amulet again, and threw them all into same lake he swam in.
"GET A HOLD OF YOURSELVES!"
The five of them walked out of the water and were once calm again. "Okay, sorry, its just gonna take a bit of time to get used to this." Sunny replied.
"Just don't do that again." Toxigo said, before ripping the amulet off his neck again. "Also, seriously? A freaking hour!? I was trying to air out my one eye and now I have to wear the eye patch again because you just shattered the glass. Thank you so bloody much."
Indigo looked down in shame. "Sorry..."
Sour then looked down at herself and began covering... certain areas that made her blush. "Don't look at me, I'm naked!" She said.
"Um, you do realize we're all naked. Ponies, uh, don't normally wear clothes." Toxigo said. "Besides Indy, we've seen each other naked before, its not like when we were about to"
"Don't go there!" Indigo raised a hoof. "That's... way too awkward for me, okay?"
"Okay, okay, I'll stop. Anyone want breakfast?" Toxigo offered.
Everyone then sat down as Echo passed the breakfast to everyone and somehow they managed to adapt to eating with their own hooves, which was very hard for a majority of them. Flash, Sunny, Indigo, and Echo Dash now took on the form of Pegasi. Sugarcoat and Sour Sweet took on forms of Earth ponies, and Lemon Zest took on the form of a unicorn.
"You seem to be handling now being ponies very well. Very, unrealistically well..."
"We've joined you on this quest, its best to stay calm about new changes." Sugarcoat said.
"I suppose so, but seriously no one should be this calm after something like that. I'm seriously questioning how you stayed calm during the Friendship Games." Toxigo replied.
"We'll while that may have seemed very unrealistic of us to stay calm, it wasn't anything bad like..." Sunny began but something got her attention. Something on Toxigo seemed a little, off.
Toxigo picked up on Sunny staring at him. "Um... Sunny? You okay? Is there a bit of bacon stuck in my teeth?"
"No, nothing like that its just... well, there's something that seems a little off about you." Sunny replied.
"Actually, she's got a point. You need a mirror or something to get what we're saying." Sugarcoat replied.
"Oh come on, it can't be that bad--" Toxigo was interrupted by Sour grabbing a mirror with her mouth and somehow getting it in front of his face. Toxigo looked into it and saw what they had meant. His one eye that was working was now blazing, scary, demonic red.
"Okay... that's very bad..." Toxigo said.
He levitated the mirror to face to get a closer look, blinked a few times, and rubbed at it with his hoof to feel for anything, but nothing. But, it must be nothing. He quickly took the amulet off when he should have, and he didn't have any dark or disturbing feelings.
"Okay, so my eye has changed color. Nothing else out of the ordinary. I think that's just part of the side affects from using the amulet. Which means, I need to lay off from using it for the time being."
After everyone finally finished their food, they grabbed their supplies in the giant saddlebags and awaited for Tox to give instructions.
"Okay, lets see what we go here. We've got four pegasi, two earth ponies, and two unicorns. We should be good. Now, we're gonna go into Ponyville, and I'd advise, we all stay together and don't do anything that will grab attention. Okay?"
Everyone gave a nod and they soon began trotting along the dirt. After looking at some of the sights, they then walked into Ponyville and kept an eye out for anything odd or suspicious. And while they kept walking they soon began asking questions on things they were never taught.
"Hey uh, dude, something I got to ask. What's with the tattoo on the side of your butt?" Lemon asked.
"Oh that's the cutie mark."
"*snicker*, what?" Came from Lemon trying her hardest not to laugh.
"I know how girly this sounds, but basically, its a symbol that represents your calling in life, and your special talents. For example-" Tox then turned to a side to show his cutie mark. "-mine was supposed to mean my specialization in handling toxic elements, however as of living in the human world, that doesn't seem to be the case my strengths and abilities" he finished showing the black bio-hazard emblem with black sparkles surrounding it.
"But why- *snicker* is it placed right over on the side of your butt? It looks like you got a tramp stamp!" Lemon tried asking but that just resulted in her laughing hard along with Indigo, while Sugarcoat, Sunny, and Sour had straight faces looking unamused. "You do realize we all tattoos on our posteriors as well? So technically we all have tramp stamps" Sugarcoat asked.
Eventually, the two of them stopped laughing and noticed their cutie marks as well, and stopped in silence. So after their pointless laughing the group walked over a bridge and stood outside the town of Ponyville, facing the citizens go on their daily lives. "Okay, we need to move quick. We'll split into groups to cover more ground, and use the earpieces to stay in contact with one another. Sunny, Indigo, Echo, and Flash you're all together. Go to the east side of town."
The three pegasi then left and went that direction. "Sugarcoat and Sour, you head to the west part of town." With that, Sugarcoat and Sour trotted off. "And Lemon, you're with me. We're going to see Princess Twilight."
After that, Tox and Lemon trotted along looking around Ponyville, while getting a few stares as they saw the sight of new ponies coming into town. The arm, the eyepatch and ears did get Toxigo some odd looks though. But it didn't bother him much.
As Lemon looked around, a bit of nervousness grew on her face, and she moved up a little closer to Toxigo.
"Hey, uh, Tox? Can I uh.. ask you something?"
"Sure Zest. What's that?" Tox asked still keeping his head forward.
"Well, uh... we're friends, right?" Lemon hesitated.
"Yeah." Tox asked.
"And, friends tell each other secrets, right?" Lemon said.
"I believe so. Yeah, why?"
Lemon and Tox stopped near a water fountain and both sat on the ledge, and Lemon began to explain. "I, uh... you know I made those awkward comments around the girls?"
Toxigo raised a brow. "You mean the ones that sounded like you found ladies hot?"
Lemon blushed out of embarrassment, and her pony ears flipped down. "Uh... yeah. I uh... none of my friends know this, but, uh.. Can you keep a secret?"
"Actually, I already know you're a lesbian, and that's fine."
Lemon looked up at Toxigo with a look of sadness and shock on her face. "It is? But... wait how do you know?"
"Your lack of subtly kind of makes it obvious. But, its okay. Being gay is nothing to be ashamed of. It doesn't really affect the way we look at you. You're still the same silly, fun, enjoyable rocker we know and love. I'm cool with it" Toxigo smiled.
"Yeah but... what will they think? Its bad enough I can't be myself around everyone."
Toxigo was confused. What did she mean?
"Zest, what exactly do you mean?"
"Well, back at Crystal Prep, everyone kind of looks down on people like that. Because everyone's all rich and wealthy, they believe anyone that's of 'lower class' is just... nothing. Kind of how they see people like me. The only reason I'm still standing and going to CPA is because I had to pretend to be straight. And I hate it!" Lemon eyes began watering, and her lips began trembling.
Toxigo was shocked. He had never seen this side of Lemon before.
"Do you know how hard it is, to walk around, in a school where you can't be yourself? Where you have to be straight!? Where you can't just be yourself and find... your own girlfriend..." Lemon cried into her hooves and Toxigo pulled her in for a hug.
"Lemon, I'm so sorry... I didn't know you felt like this."
Lemon pulled out of the hug and looked at Toxigo with bloodshot eyes. "Its hard... My own dad doesn't know I prefer women."
"Well, Lemon, I don't know how much help I can be, but I do understand how you feel. Every day of my life at CPA, I've had to hide my secret that you already know. At least you're actually a human. Everyone's looked at me like I was a weirdo. But, I can tell you this."
Lemon looked up at Toxigo with her eyes still heavy from water.
"Believe it or not, there are actually two girls at CHS, Vinyl and Octavia, and they're dating each other. And everyone treats them like regular people, because, nothing had really changed about them. And I know being gay hasn't changed you a bit. And that's why I'm proud to call you a friend again." Toxigo gave a friendly smile.
"So... you don't care that I..."
"No, I don't. You're a very cool girl. A little rough around the shoulders and a little reckless, but still a cool person. I guarantee you'll find a very sweet girl. Maybe someone who has the same interests as you, someone who's sweet. And I bet they'll love the heavy metal tunes you like."
Lemon smiled as she wiped the tears from her face. "Thanks."
"I'm sure you'll find a special someone. Now, what do you say we keep moving, I think we should find- Oh my god, don't look!"
"What?" Lemon asked before looking.
"I said don't look!"
All three of their eyes were facing down on the concrete rocks they were sitting on, and away from the direction Tox asked not to look at.
"Why are we looking down?" Lemon asked.
"Because that's Princess Celestia with Twilight! That's not good!"
"Princess, Celestia?" Lemon asked.
"Long story short, she's the ruler of Equestria who raises the sun, and is not one to be messed with. Ugh, but I still need to talk to Twilight. *sigh*, guess we're gonna have to face them either way. Come on, lets go."
Princess Twilight and Princess Celestia were standing outside of the castle doors talking about the strange message Twilight had been sent.
"And Sunset told you to shut down the portal to the other world?" Celestia kindly asked.
"Yes, but something doesn't add up. The handwriting doesn't look like hers and I don't see how--"
"How Chrysalis could have made her way into the human world?" Tox finished. All of their eyes turned to see Toxigo standing along with Lemon Zest.
"Wait, who are you?" Twilight asked
"My name is Toxigo Paralysis, pleasure to make your acquaintance Princess Twilight. And the reason Sunset sent that message was because she along with the other human equivalents to you and your friends were kidnapped. And I need your help to get my Shimmer-cakes back."
"Shimmercakes? Why... Wait. What do you mean, kidnapped?" Twilight asked.
"What part of kidnapped do you not understand?" Toxigo groaned. "Queen Chrysalis along with the Dazzlings kidnapped Sunset, and the rest of the human equivalents to you and your friends. Fortunately, they're trapped in that world for the time being since I asked you to shut down the portal to the statue, and with the help of a member on my rescue team, we blew up the way we got here so they couldn't follow us."
"Oh, uh... Wait. You're the new guy Sunset told me she met. Yeah, you're her new friend." Twilight's memory was coming back to her.
"Um... yeah.." Toxigo hesitated.
Twilight zoomed up and shook hooves with Toxigo's prosthetic hoof, and Toxigo returned the hoof shake.
"Very nice to meet you. So... do you have any idea where Sunset and the others are?"
"That in fact I do. They're over in the changeling hive, but unfortunately I have no idea where that is." Toxigo sadly replied.
"I do!" Twilight said. "Follow me."
Toxigo, Princess Celestia, Twilight, and Lemon Zest trotted inside of the castle and entered into the throne room. Lemon gazed in shock of the amount of thrones.
"Whoa, dude... that's a lot of thrones." Lemon said.
Princess Celestia then guided the three of them with a light shining from her horn as it went over the map, leading it over to a dark patch of mountains with skulls around them.
"Thats... that's where the changeling hive is?" Toxigo stuttered.
"Unfortunately, yes." Celestia replied.
"Well, isn't that just great...." Toxigo sarcastically said.
"What if we help?" Twilight asked.
Toxigo's ears, flipped up. He was offered help, from Royalty no less?
"You.... you'd offer to help?" Toxigo asked.
"Of course. Sunset's one of my friends, and a changeling invasion is nothing to forget. We'll totally help you out." Twilight smiled.
Toxigo gave a smile back. "Thanks Twilight." He then turned his head to Princess Celestia. "Are you going to help too?"
"I would help you either way." Celestia replied with a friendly tone in her voice.
"Thank you, Princess Celestia. Well if we're going to find them, we're gonna need to round up everyone. I'll see about calling in the Shadowbolts."
Tox then fired a beam from his horn showing a holographic screen showing the front of Echo Dash who had on her Rainbow Dash skin suit still torn. "Echo Dash, where are you?"
"Wait, that's Rainbow Dash. Why did you call her Echo?"
"We'll explain that later dude." Lemon responded.
"Echo, are the Shadowbolts with you, and if they are, where are you and them?" Tox asked.
"They're all with us, unfortunately they are being held down by Royal Guards."
Toxigo snarled his teeth. "What do you mean... held...down?"
Echo then gestured her head to the left to move the supposed screen, and Tox turned the screen view towards them and it showed some of Celestia's Royal Guards holding down Indigo, Sour, Sugarcoat, and Sunny while Flash and Echo stood by watching them wrestle.
"Echo, care to explain to me why they're all tied up?"
"Disobedience of your orders specifying not to attract attention and not to cause trouble resulted in them being taken down by Royal Guards."
The screen then turned back to Echo Dash, and then Flash appeared to the side.
"Echo and I talked to the guards and we backed off as they ordered us to since we didn't go attacking any guards." Flash finally saw he was talking to Toxigo but she saw Twilight standing with him.
"Hey Twilight, uh... its been a while hasn't it?"
"Flash, just see about getting the Royal Guards on over here with everyone. And that includes...." Twilight forgot who the others that were with them, until Tox spoke up.
"Echo and the Shadowbolts." Toxigo groaned.
"And that includes Echo and the Shadowbolts. We'll see you soon."
"Okay Twilight. We'll be there soon." Flash smile.
After hanging up, Tox then banged his head against the door in frustration. "One job, one stinkin job, and that was to not attract attention or cause trouble, how is that hard to do!?"
