Brothers of Feathers, Taint of Greed, and Poisoned Malice

Crane's brother, Qu Dan, (legely changed to Kevin), Crane's more business exberted brother, has grown self-corrupted in corprete power, as he cares for nothing but business. Kevin now plans to build companies, get at the diamond mines in Equestia, as well as pomising to make Equestia a better place by making it more increasingly advanced with newer technology and the mythical creatures to be more civilized. as such, he has the ponies seening him as a visionary, and even Applebloom is blindly in love with him. When The Louge discovers the force behind Kevin's intentions for the futrue Equestria, they realise that Kevin is not the power hungry greedy buisness typhoon they were lead to believe he was, but yet another puppet of Lord Cobra.

Chapter 1- Big Business
The Villain Leage Castle (Suddenly Maleficent appears before Cobra and Teen Mang) Mining place. Villain League HQ Equestia.
 * Lord Cobra- (looking through many diffrent villain names in the book of villainy with Teen Mang) Ok, Mini-Me, let's see if there's someone perfect for my latest anti-paradise scheme on Equestia. We need someone who is extreamely greedy, power hungry and ambitious.
 * Teen Mang- How about this guy, master? (points to a picture of Baltor from Winx Club)
 * Lord Cobra- Baltor the Wizard? Nah, forget it, the producer's not a huge fan of the Winx Club along with the Darkspawn Shadow Pheonix, Lord Darkar, leave that to Ratagainrules.
 * Teen Mang- Ok how about (sees a picture of Lotso Huggin Bear).. Lotso the Teddy Bear?
 * Lord Cobra- No Mini-Me. (gags in disgust) He has that toy baby with him and...(shudders) gives me the willies. Besides, didn't you see the end of Toy Story 3? He is currently stuck on a front side of a garbage truck.
 * Teen Mang- Ok, how about this guy? (shows a picture of Quint from the Timon and Pumbaa series.)
 * Lord Cobra- Quint from that meerkat and warthog's tv series? Nah, too obvious. Seriously Mini-Me, If I wanted someone from the Jungle Crew's rouges lead by Scar that has a big pink nose, black hair and steriod rage, I just asked Charlie Sheen.
 * Teen Mang- Can we just try calling Deathwing to help us? You could ask him to burn Equestria to a crisp, scare the living heck outta that pegasus pony, Fluttershy and incinerate the Elements of Harmony. That will really send Celestia and all of the Equestians running!
 * Lord Cobra- No, not after what happended during my revenge against that elf and that overgrown orange ferret of his who made Shen double cross me in MrRuscole's spinoff series. But I was lucky Deathwing was understanding since we brought Cyclonus back with our ressurection policy. But still, he is somewhat relucent to help me again.
 * Teen Mang- Ah, this is gonna be tough then I thought!
 * Maleficent- Having a little trouble finding a sutible villain to help us capture Kairi, Spyro and Spongebob my lord?
 * Lord Cobra: "What do you want?"
 * Maleficent: "I assume it's hard work sir? my apologies coming in un-invited."
 * Lord Cobra: "Look, you wouldn't be interested, just another of my anti-paraisdise schemes on Equestia again. you know how i possitively lothe, paradises. they have the nerve to believe they are safe of the glories of chaos and darkness, well, someone like me is here to prove them WRONG!"
 * Maleficent: "Alcourse, i respect perfectly why are not rather, fond of such ideas."
 * Lord Cobra: "Thank you."
 * Teen Mang: "Ok, how about.... The emperor of Ki-Gong!"
 * Lord Cobra: "Not our ally anymore because of what happend during the wedding allience incident when the Emperor of China kept him in place before Mirage and I branded Spongebob the Ultimate Vigilante."
 * Teen Mang: "Uh, Dr. Draken?"
 * Lord Cobra: "Too demanding."
 * Teen Mang: "Lord Dread?"
 * Lord Cobra: "Not as fun using him without Dark Cynder, I fancy them as a team."
 * Teen Mang: "Uh, that hunter guy who tried to kill that fox in "The Fox and the Hound"?"
 * Lord Cobra: "Amos Slade? Nah! Fagin hates his gut. also, he's not evil as he is just your jerk of a hunter/chicken farmer."
 * Teen Mang: "Merina Del Ray?"
 * Lord Cobra: "Too useless and easly beaten by Spyro, that wise-craking dragonfly, Sparx, that mermaid princess, Ariel and that little crustacean who is with that animal adventure team lead by Scar's nephew and those two "Hakuna Matata" loving friends of his."
 * Teen Mang: "Mosenrath?"
 * Lord Cobra: "Too Snobby and self impourent?"
 * Teen Mang: "The God of War Zeus?"
 * Lord Cobra: "Too volient. come on boy, even WE have standerds."
 * Teen Mang: "Merlock?"
 * Lord Cobra: "Too easly conteracted by that hyena female."
 * Teen Mang: "Crap, then i got nothing! most of these villains we either already have, or are with other villain teams, you don't like or because of copyright."
 * Maleficent: "How about, something of an offshoot instead?"
 * Lord Cobra: "Explain?"
 * Maleficent: "Well, i seen into the cristeil ball, that a very cocky crane, three land shark lawyers, a boa, a huge gorrilla and a duo of an owl and a woodpecker, are coming to Equestia to establish a diamond mineing faciliity."
 * Lord Cobra: "That doesn't sound evil."
 * Maleficent: "Not unless your not involved."
 * Lord Cobra: "Oh... I get ya. may i, have a vision of this, likely sap and his friends?"
 * Maleficent- Of course. (Lord Cobra gets vision of Kevin at a construction site of a new mining facility)
 * Lord Cobra- Impressive. He seems like someone I can easily tinker with. Anymore info I should know about this guy?
 * Maleficent- Well, his name is Qu Dan, AKA Kevin Longbill. He is the brother of Crane, one of those Furious Five teammates of the Shell Lodge Squad. He's the owner of a mining company called ShineMiners Incorporated. His commercials say that he's found a new energy resource created by the mixing of many precious gemstones called juronium.
 * Lord Cobra- What an odd name for a substance.
 * Maleficent- Well, our sources calculate that the mining facility will be complete tomorrow.
 * Lord Cobra- Where is the facility being built on Equestria?
 * Maleficent- In the Diamond Lands just west of Ponyville.
 * Lord Cobra- Well, that's nice. Mini-Me? I have a plan!
 * Kevin plays his gitar as the progress is setting.
 * Doloris, the boa female, slithered up to Kevin.
 * Doloris: "Sir, shouldn't you over-seeing the factory instead of lounging about?"
 * Kevin: "Chillax, Doloris, i know what i am doing."
 * Doloris sighs in annoyence.
 * Kevin: "Yo, Norm!"
 * Norm, a fat owl: "COMING YOUR MOST ALGOOBERIOUSNESS! (trips) Ow! (falls down hill) Oh! DOW! OH! EE! GAH OOH! (Lands butt first into catus) AHHHHH!"
 * Kevin: "Edword!"
 * A panicy woodpecker that is edword: "Oh! I'm sorry! i can handle it!"
 * Norm gets off of the catus, only to be knocked over accsidently by Edword, who was sent flying and falls beck first into Norm's butt!
 * Norm: "OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!"
 * Kevin gently laughs
 * Kevin: "I love those too."
 * Norm: "NORM! OW!"
 * Edword gets off of Norm's butt!
 * Edword: "PATOOTIE! And Edword! (sthudders)"
 * Norm and Edword: "REPORTING FOR DUTY!"
 * Kevin- Fine, fine, fine! How's the construction going? Oh, and let's make a rule: No smokestacks. I don't want Princess Celestia to be all over me for something like that. Now, have you figured out a way to get rid of the toxic waste produced by the production of juronium?
 * Edward- Oh, yes, the construction is going smoothly. And you don't have to worry about the toxic waste, sir. We've figured out how to break the waste down into it's component parts, which, of course, means that if we get some toxic waste, we can easily get rid of it safely.
 * Kevin- Splendid work, Edward! Soon, no one will have to worry about high electric bills again because of my success in creating juronium. It's combustable, conductive, and...
 * Norm- Unrenewable?
 * Kevin- UUUGGGH! Why didn't I even think of that before? That's my 5th unrenewable resource this month!
 * Edward- With all do respect, Mr. Longbill, as long as there are enough diamonds in the UUniverses to create juronium, I think it can power our community for a millenia.
 * Kevin- Good observation, Eddy!
 * Edward- Please, don't call me that!
 * Kevin- Well, what are we waiting for? Let's get juronizing!
 * Doloris- 'Juronizing'? Is that even a real word?
 * Kevin- No, it's a made up one, so what? It's a good one, I'll tell you that. Well, let's get back to work. (Doloris, Edward and Norm leave to get back to work, while Kevin gets back to playing guitar)
 * Lord Cobra- (Watching Kevin via magic powers) Yes, strum that silly guitar, my feathery friend! For today, you shall make HISTORY! (Takes out medallian) Hmm, would extreme corruption be nessersary? he is a business man. After all, they'll destroy a rainforest for a few bucks. if i just say the right words, and the sap will dance. But, in this case, mere words alone might not be enough..... but the Meddialin is over-kill.... all this requires, is smooth talking, and alittle bad impressions from the Equestians."
 * Kevin plays his guitar.
 * laughter of children are heard.
 * Kevin notices this.
 * he gets up from his lounge chear to investigate. he lookes over a hill to see the CMC (Cutie Mark Crusaders.) playing with some ball. Kevin flew up to them.
 * Kevin: "Uh, kids? exquse me?"
 * Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo looked at Kevin.
 * Kevin: "Yeah hi. listen, i ordenarly don't like to rain on peoples' parade or, anything, but this private propity you are on private propity, and, uh, listen, there's condestion going on here, and uh, well, it might be dangerious for kids like you and uh..."
 * Sweetie Belle: "Oh, sorry, we came here with Applebloom's sister for some playtime. we didn't know somepony, err, i mean, someone was doing something here."
 * Kevin: "Hey, it's cool, it's cool. just, go find her, huh? someplace else to hang out?"
 * Sweetie and Scootaloo ran off. but Applebloom stayed. she looked as if she was awestruck.
 * Kevin: "Uh, you ok kid?"
 * Applebloom: (Lovestruck) "Just fine........"
 * Kevin: "Ok..... (gulp). Is this scene getting awkword or is it just me?"
 * ???: "APPLEBLOOM!"
 * Applebloom snaps out it!
 * Applebloom: "COMING! i gotta go."
 * Kevin: "Whew. That was a close one."
 * Kevin flew off.
 * Applebloom sighed in love struck. she walked off.

Chapter 2- Nothing But Corporate Doings
next day. Villain Leage fortress Equestia. CMC Clubhouse Apple Acres Rarity's Emporium Rainbow Dash's House in Cloudsdale Mining facility. 30 1/2 minutes later...
 * Kevin still playing his gittar on the lounging chear.
 * Applebloom walks up to him un-noticed by him.
 * Applebloom: "Uh, exquse me, mister Business crane sir?"
 * Kevin- Just call me plain Kevin. Hey, your that little filly from yesterday arent ya?
 * Applebloom- Uh huh.
 * Kevin- So what do they call you?
 * Applebloom- My names Applebloom.
 * Kevin- Well then Applebloom, what can I do for ya?
 * Applebloom- Nothing, I just wanna thank you for yesterday and wondered what your doing.
 * Kevin- Oh that? Your welcome and about my job. You see, I'm establishing a huge diamond mineing faciliity thats going to make my industry alot of cash and all I gotta do is make it enviorenment friendly so Princess Celestia wont be all over me for that stuff. I was going to presure a rockstar/rapping gangsta career and hang up my suite to play some music and even make the people I hired my own band but they are after a more coporate approach so we created this mining company called ShineMiners Incorporated, a completely safe and enviorenment friendly industry.
 * Lord Cobra-(watching Kevin talking to Applebloom, via magic powers) Yeah, right! Enjoy your "enviornment" friendly indrusty while you can Kevvy, cause it wont be so enviornment friendly when I'm done with it.
 * Teen Mang- So what do we do with this guy, Master?
 * Lord Cobra: "Let's see how this plays out first."
 * Applebloom: "That's neat... i, i was wondering, if, i can well, spend time with you."
 * Kevin: "Wait, pardon?"
 * Applebloom: "Well, i thought i presue something more, different then the farm life. I always saw myself as a business pony."
 * Kevin: "Oh, going for the business life eh? I have no problem with that. tell you what, you can start today, we're just opening up. one thing though, your an intern, so, you are here to learn things, and not allowed to be directly involve in the works, you know, child labor laws? Equestia has them right?"
 * Applebloom: "Well, yeah."
 * Kevin: "Oh good. Wait, you don't have to go to shcool today, do you?"
 * Applebloom: "Oh, don't worry, it's saterday."
 * Kevin: "Great, let me introduse you to my assuiates. Oh, and uh, look out for Doloris, she might be, really uptight for a snake."
 * Applebloom- Okay, Kevin! ("If he doesn't say anythin' 'bout me callin' him 'Kevin, that means we're truly in love!")
 * Kevin- ("She just called me 'Kevin', well that's awkward. But I'll let it slide, she's probably confused.") Well, Ms. Applebloom, do you thnk you should get some permission from your big sister first?
 * Applebloom- Well, um...okay then, Kevin!
 * Kevin- ("Aw shit, I shouldn't have said something!")
 * Applebloom- ("He let me say it twice now! It's like we're married!")
 * Doloris was looking her clipboard.
 * Kevin: "Hey, Doloris. You might not be thrilled about this, but, we got ourselfs an intern."
 * Doloris- An intern? Well, whos' the new recru--(Sees Applebloom) Uh, Kevin? What's the filly doing here?
 * Kevin- Oh, she's the new intern.
 * Doloris- You can NOT be serious! She's too young to be an intern, what nerve have you got to even hire HER? She doesn't even have any experience.
 * Applebloom- Oh yeah? Says who?
 * Doloris- Every single rules and guidelines about jobs. Listen here, young lady, you can't just come in here and apply for an internship! Are your parents even aware about this?
 * Applebloom- Actually, I just live with my Granny Smith, my old brother and sister, Ms. Snake.
 * Doloris- Well, you don't belong here, kid. This is a highly advanced facility with years of experience and training.
 * Applebloom- But, I, uh--
 * Doloris- I'm gonna have to ask you to leave.
 * Kevin- Doloris, c'mon! This young filly looks like she has the potential. And what gives YOU the right to ask her to leave? Only I can do that! I'm the C.E.O., remember?
 * Doloris- But, sir, she's too--
 * Kevin- DOLORIS! I've been looking over the budget, and if you keep criticizing my job like that, I'm gonna have to hire a new asisstant. So you can either A: Leave immediately, or B: Live in an alley in a cardboard box for the rest of your life!
 * Doloris- But-but-but-but-but-but--
 * Kevin- I SAID 'LEAVE'!
 * Doloris- Okay, okay! Don't come crying to me if this kid ends up hurt, and we get a lawsuit! ay crumba. (Leaves)
 * Kevin- What did i tell ya, uptight! Now then, where was I? Oh, yes, you're hired.
 * Applebloom- YAY! I'll go get my friends.
 * Kevin- This reservation's only for one. Exspiecally how Doloris reacted with you being here.
 * Applebloom- You mean...I can't bring my friends along?
 * Kevin- Look, as much as i would like to make Doloris mad, and trust me, the funny things she can say during it are wroth it, i do not want to push it. one time i did, and she threaten to sue me!
 * Applebloom- Oh, ok. I didn't tell them about you anyway, this is something i wanted to do with you.
 * Kevin- Good girl! Now, let's get started!
 * Doloris watches from afar.
 * Doloris: "Is this because of your childhood, sir?"
 * Edword and Norm appeared.
 * Norm: "Hey, who's the new kid?"
 * Edword: "And i thought we weren't suppose to hire minors."
 * Doloris: "I think, it's the mirror to the childhood Kevin never had with his familia."
 * Norm: "Really? He's still holding on to that?"
 * Edword: "Hey, i am sure she's just here, to, observe. it's not like she'll be directly involved."
 * Doloris: "(Sigh), your right. I know not even Kevin would be THAT insane to hire a child without a reason. Maybe i should've ask first. I am gonna go and apologies."
 * Edword: "That's the spirit!"
 * Norm: "Hey Ed, let's meet the newbie!" (All 3 walk up to Kevin and Applebloom)
 * Edward- Oh my, God! She's the cutest thing I've ever laid my eyes on!
 * Norm- Aw, what's your name, newbie?
 * Applebloom- Uh, Applebloom?
 * Edward- Applebloom? That's a cute name.
 * Doloris- Well, Kevin? I'm sorry about my rude behavior. If this young lady is willing to prove she's worth it, then so be it. Plus, her friends can come, too.
 * Applebloom- ALRIGHT! NOW THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKIN' 'BOUT!
 * Doloris- As long as they get permission from their caretakers.
 * Applebloom- Oh...crud! Well, I'd best get started.
 * Sweetiebelle- You got an internship from ShineMiners Inc.?
 * Scootaloo- Alright, there's gotta be a logical explanation for this. Applebloom, why did you get the guts to do something like that?
 * Applebloom- Well...If I tell you, you gotta' keep it a secret!
 * Sweetiebelle/Scootaloo- We promise!
 * Applebloom- (Looks around, and whispers in their ears) I have a crush on the C.E.O, Mr. Longbill!
 * Scootaloo- WHAT?!?
 * Sweetiebelle- That's really awkward.
 * Applebloom- Well, he was pretty nice, along with his sourpuss asisstant, Doloris. Now, he's offering us to join his mining program, if though we would just learn how everything works, since we're young we can only get learning intermships, but still, this could be the perfect opportunity to get our cutie marks! Whaddiya' say, girls?
 * Sweetiebelle- Well, Applebloom, I think we should ask our families first. We can't just do all this without their permission, it's just wrong. Rarity is a little cautious if i am doing something new, ever since what happened on Hearts and hooves day when we tried to get Miss Cheerilee to date big mac."
 * Scootaloo- Yeah. And My Parents aren't exsacly here yet (under her breath) thanks a lot, Hasbro (talking clearly) so i am still under Rainbow Dash's care until they become canon. also, Rainbow Dash tends to be hard to cantact.
 * Applebloom- Well, that's true. and Mah sister really tends to be seriously traditional. You think we should go do it right now?
 * Scootaloo: "Problem is, i do have doubts they'll say yes. i mean, we don't know if they knew about them."
 * Applebloom: "Actselly, i think they might. We know how Twilight is connected to Princess Celestia. Well, i am sure Kevin got Celestia's permission to mine diamonds, and Celestia sent latters Twilight, and all her friends, my sister, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash included. I know it might be tough, but it wouldn't hurt to try."
 * Scootaloo- Well, let's get through it.
 * Applebloom- Howdy, Applejack.
 * Applejack- Oh, Howdy, Applebloom. What'chyou been up to?
 * Applebloom- Well, if I tell you, do ya' promise not to get mad?
 * Applejack- Well, no.
 * Applebloom- Okay...I made an internship to ShineMiners Inc.
 * Applejack- WHAT? (Sighs) Of all the silly things you and yer' friends do. Why would you do that?
 * Applebloom- Because...I have a crush on Mr. Longbill.
 * Applejack- Really? (Sighs) Oh, boy. Applebloom, aren'tcha too young to be with the miners? After all, it's just hard work. You got many things like welding, juronium producton, mining, digging, it's hard work.
 * Applebloom- Oh, don't worry, big sis! Me and my friends have been through things like that.
 * Applejack- Oh, please! Your doin' it not just for Mr. Longbill, but for yer' cutie mark, huh?
 * Applebloom- So, I just wanted to ask if I could get through with it.
 * Applejack- Well...why not? ("I can't wait until she and her friends get exhausted at such hard work!")
 * Applebloom- Great! Thanks, big sis! I owe you one! (Runs off)
 * Rarity: "YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS ARE DOING WHAT?!"
 * Sweetiebelle- Well, Applebloom applied for an internship at the ShineMiners Facility because...well, it's a secret I promised not to tell anyone about.
 * Rarity- (Sighs) Sweetiebelle, please! I don't want you to get all dirty. I'm in charge of you while your parents are away for a free-weekend cruise, and I dn't want you to get hurt.
 * Sweetiebelle- Well, I thought you would like the idea because, after all, it's just a diamond mining program.
 * Rarity- (Stunned) Did...did you say 'diamonds'?
 * Sweetiebelle- Yeah. Mr. Longbill uses these diamonds to create a substance called 'juroonium', which is a valuable resource that, as Applebloom explained, is environmentally friendly.
 * Rarity- Really? Oh, deary me! Melting down precious gemstones, (Chuckles) I-I-I have to say, I'm impressed. I was wondering what Mr. Longbill was planning to do with those diamonds.
 * Sweetiebelle- So, I'm gonna ask you if I can join my friends in this opportunity, and in exchange, I'll give the largest diamond I can find to you.
 * Rarity- (Pupils become diamonds) Oh me, oh my! The LARGEST diamond in the loot?!? Holy Equestria! Well, alright. But as long as you take a shower before coming back.
 * Sweetiebelle- Aw, thank you, sis! You're one in a million! (Runs off)
 * Rarity- Golly gosh! I don't believe it! A BIG DIAMOND! (Faints)
 * Rainbow Dash- Applebloom did WHAT?!?
 * Scootaloo- Uh, she applied for a learning internship at the ShineMiners facility that's being built at the Diamond Lands.
 * Rainbow Dash- Ugh, Scootaloo, how much trouble must you and your friends get through to get your cutie marks?
 * Scootaloo- Actually, Applebloom is mostly into it for her own reasons.
 * Rainbow Dash- Like what?
 * Scootaloo- Well, I promised her I wouldn't tell anyone about it.
 * Rainbow Dash- Well, I don't think you and your friends should go through with this. One of you might get hurt. Besides, diamond mining is hard work, and you and your friends could get exhausted.
 * Scootaloo- Please! Me and my friends NEVER get exhausted. EVER!
 * Rainbow Dash- (Sighs) Scootaloo, I REALLY don't think your parents are gonna like this when they eventually make their appearences in our series. So, why don't we just forget about it.
 * Scootaloo- Well, what if I promised I could do something for you?
 * Rainbow Dash- Like what?
 * Scootaloo- Well...I could get you the Wonderbolts' autograph signatures.
 * Rainbow Dash- (Gasps) Really?!? You would do that?
 * Scootaloo- Cross my heart and hope to die.
 * Rainbow Dash- Well, I don't know. The Wonderbolts don't appear very much in Ponyville. Maybe we should call it off--
 * Scootaloo- Uh, speaking of the Wonderbolts, they're heading this way right now during their anniversary parade.
 * Rainbow Dash- It's their anniversary already? Wow, time sure goes fast. But, perhaps, if you can pull this off, you can join your friends. Here's the pen and paper. (Hands Scootaloo pen and paper)
 * Scootaloo- You can count on me, RD! (Walks outside, and comes face-to-face with the Wonderbolts)
 * Fleetfoot- Wow, look at this little cutie pie! What's your name, young lady?
 * Scootaloo- My name's Scootaloo, and I was wondering, can I have your autograph? I'm a big big fan!
 * Spitfire- Sorry, no can do, we're too busy with our--
 * Fleetfoot- Aw, c'mon! Look at how cute this kid is! She seems okay to me. In fact, I'm gonna go through with it! (Signs paper)
 * Rainbow Dash- Yes, yes, yes, only 11 more to go!
 * Soarin'- Oh, what the heck. (Signs)
 * Silver Lining- Oh, aren't you precious! Okay, then. (Signs)
 * Misty- Aww, that's the cutest little fella I've ever seen in my life! Just look at her! Alright, I'll sign it. (Signs)
 * Surprise- Hey, where's Rapidfire?
 * Wave Chill- Oh, he broke his wing last week, remember?
 * Surprise- Oh, that's right. Well, that's alright. (Signs)
 * Wave Chill- Aw, who can't resist THAT adorable face? (Signs)
 * Spitfire- Guys, c'mon, we need to go. We have business to attend to.
 * Scootaloo- ("Uh-oh, I'm losing them! C'mon, Scootaloo, think! Wait, I have an idea!")(Makes puppy eyes)
 * Spitfire- (Looks at Scootaloo) Awww, that's so cute! Oh, alright, fine! (Signs)
 * High Winds- (Signs)
 * Lightning Streak- Aw, look at that! (Signs)
 * Fire Streak- (Signs)
 * Rainbow Dash- Yes, yes, 1 more left!
 * Blaze- Well, that's cute, but I think we're running out of time. (Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo gasp) But I don't see why I shouldn't do this, so...(Signs)
 * Scootaloo- Thank you all!
 * Spitfire- Alright, see you round, kid. (Wonderbolts leave)
 * Scootaloo- (Comes back inside Rainbow Dash's house) See, Rainbow Dash? I told ya' I could pull it off.
 * Rainbow Dash- I knew you could do it. Rapidfire might not have been there, but I guess beggers can't be choosers. Okay, you can go with your friends.
 * Scootaloo- ALRIGHT! (Exits RD's house)
 * Doloris: "Tools, check! Gear, check! Miners... Work in progress."
 * Norm: "We still don't got miners?"
 * Doloris: "Well, because Celestia is still think about actselly allowing us to recruit some of her subjects. And out own miners aren't coming for another few weeks. Production might be slow for sometime."
 * Edword: "Oh man! Kevin is not going to like this!"
 * Doloris: "There, there is one thing we can do. You two clowns have to do it!"
 * Edword: "But, i don't know a thing about mining rocks!"
 * Doloris: "Have you ever played Minecraft or Dig Dug?"
 * Norm- Well...yeah?
 * Doloris- Well, there you have it! So, are you ready to get digging?
 * Edward- Well, I don't know...
 * Doloris- Aw, C'mon, who else can do it?
 * ???- We can! (All 3 turn around to see the CMC equipped with mining tools)
 * Applebloom- We're all prepared to handle this like pros!
 * Scootaloo- Yeah!
 * Sweetiebelle- We've got some pickaxes, some jackhammers, some flashlights, and it's a good thing Rarity taught me how to find diamonds in case of times like this.
 * Doloris- Well, did you three get permission to do this like I asked?
 * Applebloom- Sure we did. My big sister said it was okay.
 * Sweetiebelle- Well, I promised my big sister that I'd get her the largest diamond I could find in exchange for allowing me to do this.
 * Scootaloo- And Rainbow Dash said it was oky when I helped her get an autograph from the Wonderbolts.
 * Doloris- Well, good for you. Let's just see if you three have what it takes. We have a few tests for you that will determine how good you can pull this mining thing off.
 * Scootaloo- We're ready for anything, Ms. Doloris!
 * Doloris- Well, if you're sure, let's see you mine a cartfull of diamonds in less than an hour starting now!
 * Sweetiebelle- Well, you heard her, Crusaders, let's do this thing!


 * Scootaloo- (CMC had mined a cartfull of diamonds while they are exhausted and panting) Well...we did it!


 * Doloris- Whoa, hold it, little ones! Let's see your results! Norm, how long have they taken to do this?


 * Norm- Well, let's see...(Checks watch)...30 minutes and 30 seconds flat!


 * Applebloom- YEE HAH! We did it, girls! (All 3 give high fives)


 * Doloris- Well, I must say, you girls are talented.


 * Scootaloo- Well, let's just say we've been through things like this, but you should at least call us the Cutie Mark Crusaders.


 * Doloris- Wait a minute, you girls are that trio of fillies that go around doing extreme stuff just to get their cutie marks?


 * Applebloom- You bet! We're so good at doing things like this!


 * Edward- So what your basically saying is that...you're doing this just for yur cutie marks?


 * Sweetiebelle- Not all of us! Applebloom is in it for her own reasons.


 * Doloris- Well, Ms. Applebloom, what are you mostly in tis job for?


 * Applebloom- Well, if I tell you, you need to promise me that you won't mention it to Mr. Longbill?


 * Doloris- Well, that's alright! You have my word, I promise I'll keep my lips sealed!


 * Applebloom- Okay, here it is!...I've got a crush on him.


 * Doloris- Dyah-what?


 * Edward- (He and Norm both scoff and laugh) Oh my, God!

Hot Spot
 * Norm- That is the funniest thing I've ever heard!
 * Applebloom feels embarised.
 * Doloris: "Don't mind them, they a cuple of estupido heads."
 * Applebloom: "Huh?"
 * Doloris: "They're not too bright."
 * Applebloom: "Oh. Anyway, please don't tell Mr. Longbill. i don't know how he's gonna react."
 * Doloris: "Ok, i promise. Since your such a well meaning kid, i won't tell a soul, enither will Norm and Edwordo. (looks at Norm and Edword) That is if they value their next paycheck."
 * Edword and Norm groaned in fear!
 * Edword and Norm: "WE ARE WORMS! WOTHLESS WORMS! (CRIES)"
 * Doloris: "Ay ay ay, you see what i have to deal with."
 * Sweetie Belle was making a scared face.
 * Scootoloo: "Hey, Sweetie Belle, what's wron- (Gasp)"
 * before them was a great white shark with bat wings in a suit with a toothy grin
 * The Shark: "Hello!"
 * Sweetie Belle fainted.
 * The Shark: "Name's John!...(Other CMCs are terrified)...It's alright, I understand! Why trust a flying shark, right? (Quickly chomps at the CMCs, scaring them out of their knees as John laughs) Sorry, just kiddin' ya'! So, what's a couple of fillies like you doing in these tunnels?
 * Applebloom- Uh...(Gulps) I, uh...we're just...uh...mining.
 * Doloris- Sorry about him. Lots of people get scared just looking at his face. He's the manager of the facility. He is also Kevin's lawyer. well, one of his lawyers. he has three of them, John, Hammer-Face, and Slop."
 * John- Sorry if I scared your appatizing, uh, I mean adorable friends, Doloris. I was just playing.
 * Doloris- Well, your playing is gonna go too far someday. Now, escort these fillies to the Hot Spot.
 * Applebloom- The 'Hot Spot'?
 * Sweetiebelle- Uhh, what happened? (Sees John again, and faints again)
 * John: "Basicly, it's where the diamonds get melted into this new expeariment power shorse we're working on. It's called juronium. It's combustable, chargeable, and safe.
 * Applebloom- Well, okay, let's go. (All head for the Hot Spot)


 * John- HAMMER-FACE, SLOP!


 * Hammerface the Flying Hammerhead Shark- There you are, John, finally!


 * John- We got company!


 * Hammerface- Well it's about time, mate!


 * Slop the Flying Mako Shark- We've been waiting for miners for weeks!


 * Applebloom- Alright, uh...this is scaring us now!


 * Scootaloo- Yeah! Three's a crowd as far as I'm concerned!


 * Slop- AWWWW! Look at those adorable little faces! I could just eat you up!


 * Applebloom- (Gulps)


 * Hammerface- Uh, John? Why're they lookin' at us like that?


 * John- Well, let's just say they're as precious as a topaz these days, am I right? (All 3 sharks laugh)


 * Sweetiebelle- Uhh, what's going on here? (Gasps seeing the 2 extra sharks, and faints again)


 * Scootaloo- OH, FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, GET UP, YOU SCAREDY CAT! (Slaps Sweetiebelle, and wakes her up)


 * Sweetiebelle- Thanks, Scootaloo! I needed that.


 * John- (Laughs) These girls are funny!


 * Doloris- Guys, could you at least show them how the Hot Spot works?


 * John- Oh, absolutely. Right this way, mates! (Escorts the girls to a large machine) Now listen, girls, you need to know how we create juronium in this facility. And this is the heart! Introducing the Currosiotron 5000. Once you get a cartful of diamonds, dump them into this chute. It's there that they will be melted down and mixed. Then, the mixture is stored into this tankfull of juronium, and will be sold all over Equestria.


 * Sweetiebelle- Well, doesn't seem so bad.


 * Hammerface- Well, actually, there is one loose end, however.


 * Scootaloo- And what's that?


 * Hammerface- It's that this production of juronium results in the production of a highly toxic waste that must be taken care of WITHOUT affecting Equestria's fragile ecosystem.


 * Applebloom- What is this toxic waste you speak of?


 * Slop- Well, around here, we call it Omnicarbonic Acid. It's the most poisonous substance in all of the UUniverses. It contains the elements that are contained in rubies, diamonds, emeralds, sapphires, quartz, and topaz around these tunnels. They are carbon, oxygen, silicon, aluminum, beryllium, and chromium. Together, these elements make a substance so poisonous you die of blood poisoning.


 * Scootaloo- Uh, I think I'm gonna be sick! (Holds barf in mouth)


 * Hammerface- So that's why we must do whatever it takes to get rid of it so it won't do any damage to the environment. Here's how it's done. The toxins are stored in an oil barrel, they are escorted to a special machine called the Atom Cruncher 9000, they are dumped into the chute, and out from 6 small tubes comes the 6 elements in the form of a liquid stored in a small tube, which by then is sold to scientists who need the elements. So, now that we've covered the basics, let's give you fillies a break.


 * Sweetiebelle- Excuse me, Mr. Hammerface? I have a question concerning the toxic waste. If it is as dangerous as you say it is, then doesn't that mean that, with all the evil swarming around the UUniverses, yu think the toxic wastes could be somehow stolen?

fields.
 * Hammerface- Of course not! The toxins are kept under maximum security, and no villain can possibly steal any of the Omnicarbonic Acid. Trust me, nothing can go wrong.
 * Kevin was practicing his guitar.
 * suddenly, there was a cold rush of air torwords Kevin.
 * Kevin: "Brr! Knew i should've brought a skarf!"
 * Kevin got up and walked a few paces before interseted by a hooded figure.
 * Kevin: "AHH! dude! what the heck?! you scared me!"
 * the hooded stranger reveled himself, it was Lord Cobra.
 * Kevin: "Oh dude, you looked like you seen better days."
 * Lord Cobra: "Your brash sense of humor is, minorly charming."
 * Kevin: "Oh, uh, thanks, i think."
 * Lord Cobra: "I come to make a business propisition, dear boy. It's concerning, the natives of the planet."
 * Kevin: "You mean, the little multi-colored horses."
 * Lord Cobra: "The proper name would be, "Ponies". Any way, have you noticed how, uncivilised they are?"
 * Kevin: "Really? You think they're uncivilised because they don't wear clohes? it's a matter of opinion! not every sentient animal thinks like humans you know. or is it because they still have a monarchy? Demockity doesn't work for everyone! ot is it the houses? it's the modernest stuff i seen but hey, we all can't be about skyscrappers you know! in fact, i am pretty sure they have modern convinecnes like TV."
 * Lord Cobra: "I mean, they are not embracing the future!"
 * Kevin: "What?"
 * Lord Cobra: "Let me explain! they have modern convinences, yes. but they rely on electrisity! and isn't your company out to tear it asounder?"
 * Kevin: "By that, you mean offer a more better and cheaper power shorse, then yes."
 * Lord Cobra: "Exsactly! and aren't you working on such a miritcle of mortal science?"
 * Kevin: "Uh, more or less, we haven't found something truely perfect, i mean, there's Jurium, it's everything, but renewable. but it's not at least Omnicarbonic acid. i mean, it's stronger, but it's an everimental hazard to Super Sayin times 1000! and Celestia would strangle me with her hooves if i did something that upsets the everment, and her."
 * Lord Cobra: "Say, she doesn't have to know about it, friend? you could just, lie alittle about the Omni acid and just called, like, hmm, "Cobraian". it's a newer, fresher, and renewable. How's that sound friend?"
 * Kevin: "Do i look like one of those pond sucking corprate liers that people say destroys a rainforest for easy cash? No! not this crane, body!"
 * Lord Cobra: "So, your gonna pass up being more famous then.... Your brother?"
 * Kevin: "Hey, how did you know i have a brother, skalely!"
 * Lord Cobra: "Who hasn't heard of Crane of the furious five? He's a big hero, you know. A somebody.... I bet your parents really loved him over you, didn't they, Qu Dan?"
 * Kevin: "DO NOT CALL ME THAT! DON'T MAKE ME CALL GASTON ON YOU!"
 * Lord Cobra: "Oh, i think i have no fear of you telling your king kong rip-off on me. Because, i am but here to help you because someone greater then that brother of yours. sure he can defeat villains, but you, you could revolutionised engry as we know it! you will be so popular, that Crane will become but a legend, a myth, even.... A has-been. Doesn't that sound good, Mr. Longbill?"
 * Kevin- Well, I don't know. I guess this town does need some improvement. I mean they gotta look to the 21st century!...Well, I guess we have a deal, but I can't risk Equestria by just making the waste a resource. That could destroy it, and that I don't want. So I have a better idea.
 * Lord Cobra- And what's that?
 * Kevin- I'm gonna build more facilities and a better-suited city. Think about it! Houses will get metal surfaces, they'll get their own power stations so electrical power outages will be a thing of the past. Canterlot will be made of shiny streaking gold, cars that can be operated even for a pony, more powerful security, new renewable power sources better than juronium, and even the ability of teleportation. (Eyes turn redder and redder as he speaks) Soon, Equestria will embrace the convenience of 21st century technology, and it will become a more congruous place. And before you know it, the first ponies will land on the moon! Technological breakthroughs will strike Equestria as striking new technology will unfold before their very eyes! And once Princess Celestia embraces these breakthroughs, nothing will be the same! (Eyes become completely red)
 * Lord Cobra- You've got yourself a deal! (Cackles)
 * Kevin- What's with the maniacal laugh?
 * Lord Cobra- It's an expression.
 * Kevin- Ah, I see. Well, Equestria, prepare for the dawning of a new age!
 * Lord Cobra: "One more thing! wear these sun glasses."
 * Kevin: "Why?"
 * Lord Cobra: "Oh, no reason... it makes you look more, cooler."
 * Kevin: "Oh, thanks." (Leaves)
 * Lord Cobra: "Game...Set...Match!" (Summons a cigar and a cigarette lighter with his medallion. Then he smoked his cigar in triumph)
 * (A portal of Darkness appears and Teen Mang, Xemnas and Isa/Saix appear)
 * Teen Mang: "So L.C., how did your offer to buisness crane go?"
 * Lord Cobra: (Still smoking his cigar) " Well Mini-Me, I think Mr. Longbill took my little deal really well, dont you agree gentelmen?"

Chapter 3- Embracing the Future
Mines. Canterlot Meeting 30 minutes later... Villain Leage Castle Equestia canterlot meeting room.
 * John: "And here's the biggest Diamond of the bunch just for you, sport."
 * Sweetie Belle: "YAY!"
 * Kevin walks in.
 * Slop: "Hey, nice sun glasses. But kinda not helpful in places where the sun don't shine."
 * Kevin- Never mind that. I've got something to say. There's gonna be some HUUUUUUUUGE changes around here. And not just in this facility, but throughout Equestria! We are gonna turn this town around!
 * Doloris- What?
 * Edward- Seems a bit inconspicuous.
 * John- What gave you the ability to think of something like that?
 * Kevin- None of your business. Anyways, Equestria needs some big changes as long as I'm here.
 * Scootaloo- Uh, I thought Equestria was just fine as it is.
 * Kevin- That sounds like 19th century talk! And I don't allow cra-...crud like that around here, no sir! I say that this commune needs something more useful!
 * Applebloom- Like what?
 * Kevin- I'll tell ya'! You fillies ever heard of a machine called a 'car'?
 * Sweetiebelle/Applebloom- Nope, never heard of it.
 * Scootaloo- I have! The Shell Lodgers told me what it was. They said it was a machine meant for transportation. Said a guy named Henry Ford invented it.
 * Sweetiebelle- Oh, yeah! I remember that!
 * Applebloom- Me, too! But they also said that it could only be operated by bipedal beings. Whatever that means.
 * Doloris- It means it can be operated by beings with two legs. It also requires some arms, which are critical for navigating the car safely.
 * Kevin- Well, I say that I've come up with a type of car that quadrapeds like you three can operate.
 * Scootaloo- Oh boy, that sounds awesome!
 * Slop- Actually, I think young kids aren't allowed to drive until they're like 16 or above.
 * Sweetiebelle- It's okay, Scootaloo. We've got our scooter.
 * Kevin- Well, here's something that you kids might enjoy. I'm gonna introduce to this community technology that might make Equestria a better place. Technology far beyond your comprehension.
 * Applebloom- Sounds nice, but isn't Equestria a better place already?
 * Kevin- Not in my eyes, it's not. Trust me, kiddies, things will be different soon. But don't worry, it'll be fine. Now, you kids should be going home now, your families may be waiting for you.
 * Applebloom- Wow, thanks, Mr. Longbill, you're too kind!
 * Sweetiebelle- Yes! I'd better get this diamond to my sister, she's probably gone crackers waiting for it.
 * Scootaloo- Good bye, Mr. Longbill. (CMCs leave)
 * Kevin- Such cute faces. But now is a time for business. I've got some technology that the Princess is gonna marvel at! And once I get permission from her, Equestria will be better than ever before! John? Arrange a meeting in Canterlot immediately.
 * John- Yes, sir! (He and the other flying sharks fly away)
 * Doloris- Mr. Longbill, what's going on here? Why are you saying all this?
 * Kevin- Because, Doloris, while I was outside, I had an epipheny! I had the idea that Equestria should be more civilized! Just think about it! There'll be quadraped-automated cars, better security systems, more stronger buildings, more precise military weaponry, and even the power of teleportation.
 * Doloris- Don't the ponies of Equestria already have that ability through magic?
 * Kevin- Really? Well scratch that! Magic can stay, but this community needs a little more pizazz! More of a futuristic pizazz, you know what I'm saying?
 * Norm- You mean you want to make Equestria more like the 21st century?
 * Kevin- Precisely!
 * Norm- Then count us in!
 * Doloris- Uh, Mr. Longbill, I'm not exactly sure if this is a good idea. Are you even sure how Princess Celestia will react to these ideas?
 * Kevin- Doloris, I assure you, everything will be fine! It's not like I'm corrupted or anything. Now get back to work. (Leaves)
 * Doloris- Hmm...something's going on here. I'd better get to the bottom of it as soon as possible!
 * Doloris- (Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, the CMCs, Princesses Celestia and Luna, and a lot of other ponies meet up with Kevin, his flying shark lawyers, Doloris, Norm and Edward) Ladies and gentleponies, we'd like to thank you all for coming here to Canterlot for a very special meeting. The CEO of ShineMiners Inc., Mr. Kevin Longbill, would like to say a few words. He wants to talk to us about something he'd like to share. Mr. Longbill, if you will.
 * Kevin- Hello, everyone, and greetings, your highnesses. I've called you all to tell you that when I was practicing my guitar lessons outside my facility, I had an epipheny! I decided to show you all a few breakthroughs that I've come up with to change the lives of lots of Equestrians. Here they are! (Brings up slideshow. First Slide: A blueprint for a Quadraped-Operated car)
 * Celestia- What is that, Mr. Longbill?
 * Kevin- Why, it's a little something I came up with. It's what other worldly beings call a 'car'. An automated method of transportation that doesn't need a pony to pull it. It automatically moves in the direction you want to go with the twist of the steering wheel.
 * Celestia- I have heard of these so called 'cars', but I do believe that they can only be operated by bipeds.
 * Kevin- Well, that's the thing, your majesty. This model can be operated by a quadraped easily. Instead of a steering wheel, it has two pads. You simply use your two front legs to operate them. Press down on the left one to go left. Press down the right one to go right. Press them both down to go straight. There are also pads that can be operated by your hind legs. The one on the left is the gas pad, which makes you accelerate. The one on the right is the brakes, which, in case of an emergency, allows you to stop the car instantly.
 * Everyone- Oooooohhhhh!
 * Applejack- Boy, I reckon I could operate that thingy in my first try.
 * Twilight- Yes, that seems a bit adequate.
 * Kevin- There's more ideas I'd like to share. Next slide! (Second Slide: A blueprint for a Quad-Operated Helicopter)
 * Rainbow Dash- Weird, that thing looks kinda like a bird.
 * Kevin- Well, my rainbow-colored friend, it's actually a flying machine.
 * Celestia- Mr. Longbill, don't we already have the power of flight?
 * Kevin- Yes, but what about uniorns and earth ponies? They obviously can't fly, or even walk on clouds for that matter. But this machine can change that. This machine is that other worldly beings call an 'airplane'. It's a flying machine that can be driven by any unicorn or earth pony.
 * Fluttershy- So you're saying that you've made an invention that can allow unicorns and earth ponies to fly like us pegasi?
 * Kevin- Correct. But this vehicle requires a unicorn and an Earth pony or possibly another unicorn in order to be operated. The earth pony/primary unicorn steers the plane while the secondary unicorn uses his/her powers to detect danger and protect the plane from it.
 * Celestia- Are you saying that magic is required to operate this airplane? Magic is a gentle power that must be used at an absolute minimum.
 * Kevin- I figured you'd say that, your highness. That's why I've come up with a similar model that can be operated by earth ponies or unicorns WITHOUT magic. Instead of magic, a device called a radar detects the presence of danger within the plane's radius, and there's a shield generator on it that can put up a force field to protect it.
 * Everyone- Oooooohhhhh!
 * Kevin- Remarkable, isn't it? Okay, next slide!...
 * Kevin: "And, that's the whole deboggle."
 * Pinkie Pie: "Awesome!"
 * the mane 6 mutter about ti.
 * Luna: "You know, i, i never realised that we allowed Equestia to be so, old world."
 * Celestia: "I must admit, Equestia seems to be alittle behind compared to other worlds.... But, i am getting a feeling there is some sort of catch."
 * Kevin: "Well, no wonder thety made you boss! This is certanly one of those offers that aren't without a price! you see, devices like that don't grow on trees."
 * Pinkie: "You mean there isn't Car trees, or Plane trees, or Toilet trees?"
 * Kevin: "No, No, and that last one sounds disgusting!"
 * Pinkie: "Sorry."
 * Kevin: "See now, these are the kind of things you need factories for. They make the stuff happen people, workers and machines in the factory help make the stuff, and it enters the market. But, there's a problem: Equestia has a large population of multicolored horses, and other creatures. And so, there will be a big demand of what you seen before. So, in order to meet such a high demand, we're gonna need a large number of factires to face the demand. and what stands in the way of that?"
 * Rarity: "A low budget?"
 * Pinkie: "No cake?"
 * Twilight: "Location?"
 * Kevin: "No, No, and yes! Location is correct! now, in order to make the factories that will make a modern age, it's simple: the forests in this world got to go!"
 * Fluttershy: (After hearing about Kevin planing to chop down the trees) WHAT!!!!
 * Lord Cobra (Watching the meeting viva magic powers): "Oooh, Dierct hit!"
 * Xigbar: "Say Fang Face, what are the glasses you gave Longbeak for anyway?"
 * Lord Cobra: "Simple, those glasses are apart of my plan to use Kevvy for my ultimate anti-paradise scheme yet!"
 * Teen Mang: "I dont get it."
 * Lord Cobra: "They shield the red eyes from public, so people would be concerning for the eyes, and see he's corrupted. Also, it'll keep delusion and ignorent of what he's doing. This is just the begining, friends."
 * Kevin: "What, wasn't i clear enough, i said, the forests has to go! Trees, bushes, anything foresty, ZIP! has to go!"
 * Applejack: Hold your horses, Mr Long Beak, havent you seen the Lorax movie?
 * Spike:(Dubbed as Timon) "She has a point."
 * Kevin: "What?"
 * Spike: Forests are apart of our ecosystem, you take that away then all the animals wont have anywhere else to live.
 * Norm: Uh, Mr. Long Beak, with all do respect, I gotta side with the little dragon on this one.
