Chapter 13

Location: Sweet Apple Acres

Time: 08:24

One week after the Gala

“Blaze are you almost done with that row?” asked Applejack.

“Just one more tree... there... done” Blaze replied as he collected the last of the apples.

As Blaze and Applejack were walking back to the storage room a small metal disk flew in front of them and straight in to a tree.

“What in tarnation?” Applejack asked as she pulled out the strange metal object.

It was in the shape of a cloud with a thunder bolt in the center.

Blaze panicked “Oh no! This is bad! This is Thunderous Cutie Mark! You’ve been targeted!”

Applejack began to worry, “What do you mean targeted?”

Blaze turned to Applejack.

“Its when the colts want something or someone; they launch metal disks with one of Cutie Marks on it to show who’s after you. Applejack! Go to Twilight’s. I will meet you there as soon as I find out who else has been targeted”

Applejack nodded and ran to Twilight’s.

Blaze searched and found all of the target markers.

“Ok everyone present?” Blaze asked.

“Blaze what’s going on? Why are we being targeted” asked Twilight.

“I'll tell you why! It was a trap by Blaze to get his hands on the Elements of Harmony!” Rainbow Dash stated.

“It is true that you have targeted because of me. It’s not for the elements but, knowing the colts, there is a prize they can’t resist. Now show me your targets...” Blaze explained. The group got out there targets.

“Fluttershy, you got smasher. He is unbelievably strong. Some ponies say there is nothing he can’t smash. Rarity, you got Psy-psy he knows everything about pony anatomy. He could stop your heart without even trying, make anything faint in a matter of seconds. Rainbow Dash, you got tornadus, a master an making Tornado's and he’s pretty fast too. Applejack you got Thunderous, Tornadus’ twin brother. He can make storm clouds in a blink of an eye. He likes a good laugh and can sometimes make stupid mistakes but don't let down your guard for a second. Pinkie, you got commandos, he’s full blown military. He knows what he’s doing all the time and he will always have two back ups. Twilight, you got the boss and well... I don't know what he’s like. I don't even know what his cutie mark is. In fact none of the colts do. Be very careful Twilight”

They were all worried until Fluttershy asked, “Blaze, what do you want us to do?”

Blaze replied “I want you to act out your lives normally but keep an eye out for anything strange ok?”

They all nodded and left.

The next day Rainbow was flying about as normal.

“Oh my gosh, its Rainbow Dash!” said a unfamiliar voice.

Rainbow turned, “Yeah that’s me. What do you want?”

The other Pegasus had a smile. “I'm a huge fan of yours and I was wondering if I could get an autograph”

Rainbow smiled with glee, “Of course. Anything for a fan”

She noticed his cutie mark, “Wait... You’re...”

Rainbow tried to fly away but it was to late. Tornadus had already made a small tornado around her. She was trapped. As he created his tornado, he had chained Rainbow so she couldn't move.

“Hay! Let me go you jerk!” Rainbow struggled but it was no use, Tornadus took her away.

Location: Fluttershy’s cottage.

There was a knock at the door. It sounded loud, then there was voice.

“Look, I'm just gonna be blunt. I'm here to capture you miss Fluttershy so please open the door and it will be ten times easier ok?”

The door flung open.

“I’ll do whatever you want, just don’t hurt me” Fluttershy pleaded.

Smasher smiled, picked her up and walked away.

Location: Rarity’s shop

The door opened and the bell rang.

“Hello, how can I help you?” Rarity asked.

“Yes, are you Rarity?” asked a mystery voice.

“Umm yes I am” Rarity began to panic.

“Good” smiled the mystery unicorn.

He continued, “My name is Psy-Psy and, as you probably guessed, I'm here to capture you”

Rarity began to run but her body wouldn't  move.

“What are you doing to me” Rarity whimpered.

“To tell you would ruin the surprise. Wait a second... Is that genuine gold silk? Oh and perfectly hoofed stitched and oh the colours go so well! You know it makes me feel bad to capture you but I must, so lets go...”

Psy-psy forced Rarity to go with him.

Location : Sugar Cube Corner

 “Okie Dokie... What’s on the baking list today? Hmm...” Pinkie Pie was stopped by a sharp pain in her neck.

“Ow! What was that?” Pinkie’s words slurred and she fell with a thud.

“humph, the boss said that this would be tricky... I guess he was joking” commandos laughed to himself as he picked up Pinkie Pie and left the bakery.

Location: Pony-ville market

“There she is and...” Thunderous sniffed.

“...man that smells good. Maybe a small bite to eat won't hurt”

He left cover and casually walked up to Applejack stand.

“Hay there, how can I help you?” Applejack asked.

“I’ll take those apple dumplings” asked Thunderous.

“Ok that will be twelve bits”

Thunderous paid and sat down on a near by table. Applejack then noticed his cutie mark.

“Oh no... It’s him! What do I do?” Applejack thought.

Tornadus then flew down, “Bro! Are you stupid or something?!”

Thunderous interrupted, “Dude you got to try these! They’re delicious”

“Not now! Capture the mare then eat ok?!”

“Fine” sighed Thunderous.

He flew up to Applejack and formed a massive cloud around her. As Applejack try to escape she got shackled and was soon taken away.

Location: Twilight’s house

“Ok Spike, we have to be prepared for the worst” Twilight said as she was preparing for the boss of the colts.

The door flew off and slammed into the shelf.

“Hello Twilight. I've been waiting for this moment for so long now” the boss grinned.

Twilight put up a magic shield, “Try all you want! You won't be able to touch me” said Twilight confidently.

The boss laughed.

“What’s so funny?” Twilight snapped.

The boss raised his cloak to reveal Spike tied up.

“Spike” Twilight yelled.

The boss pulled out a knife and pierced Spike’s stomach.

“Stop it!” Twilight screamed.

“You want it to stop, just surrender”

The boss pushed the knife in further.

Twilight lowered her shield, “Stop! I surrender! Please stop...”

The boss shackled her and removed the knife form Spike.

“You, dragon... When Blaze appears, tell him we’ll be waiting at Canterlot castle”

The boss laughed in victory and left with Twilight.
